The regular season schedule is already in full swing, and the Los Angeles Clippers, which sit on the Qazi combination, are also mired in the quagmire, and even making the playoffs has become a difficult problem. However, their problems are not the same as those of the Lakers in the same city, with Ka jr. not returning to the court since last season's playoff injury, and George has always been injured due to an elbow injury at the end of December. Faced with the core of the team successive absences, the Clippers can not play the results, there is nothing wrong with it. In this game, Tyrone Lu pulled the team to Dallas again, away to challenge the Lone Rangers.
As far as the two teams are at this stage, the latter clearly has a better chance of winning the game. But things didn't turn out as simple as we thought. At the beginning of the game, the Lone Rangers, who played at home, took the lead in entering the state, and with the help of the team's leading star Doncic playing 12 points in the first quarter, sending 9 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, Shunshi handed over a 26-23 single-quarter score and took a 3-point lead. However, after entering the second quarter of the showdown, without the absolute core of the Clippers, they can only make a strong counterattack.
New signing Norman Powell did not play, but the role players on the Clippers side could continue to threaten, play a full-fledged state, and shunshi also achieved a 26-22 single-quarter score, not only recovering the 3 points behind in the first quarter, but also achieving a 1-point rebound with a half-time score of 49-48. The situation has reversed, and the Clippers, who are easy to fight again, can actually follow the trend, seize the weak lead, and continue to widen the point difference between the two sides. In the third quarter, Reggie and Morris went on to lead the team to a 21-19 score.
To be sure, the difference between the two teams has reached 3 points, and the Lone Rangers still have the possibility of achieving a reversal in the final quarter. But unfortunately, even if Doncic sent out a key 23 points and 3 rebounds and assists with an efficient output of 7 of 12 in the final quarter, it only helped the team to play a 30-29 score and recover the 1 point that was previously behind. In the end, the regular time of the fourth quarter was over, and the Clippers won the game with a 99-97 score. Tyrone Lu can be said to have exhausted the mechanism, with the remnants of the Clippers, stubbornly rejected the Dallas Mavericks double kill.
That's right, in the face of the Lone Rangers' home star Doncic's 23 points and 3 rebounds in the last quarter, and the luxurious data of 45 points, 16 rebounds and 8 assists in a single game, the Clippers played a state of full strength and completed the final upset counterattack! Without a strong helper around, Doncic's 45+16+8 stats are obviously extremely awkward and difficult to support. But we have to admit that Doncic fought hard for 39 points in this game, and being able to lead the team to the end is indeed already trying his best, and he can't be blamed for losing.
On the Clippers side, Reggie Jackson, the temporary commander of the stadium, also got the team's highest score of 24 points, as well as 5 rebounds and 8 assists. Morris Jr. also contributed well, delivering a crucial 20 points, as well as Mann, who handed over 21 points and 9 rebounds, and starting center Zubac, who was 11+10+6. As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison, and the outbreak data that Doncic personally got is still insufficient compared to the state in which the Clippers are blooming everywhere.
