Tyronelu was underrated
Tyrone Lu is perhaps the most underrated manager, not even one of them. Even in the season when the Cavaliers won the championship, people credited James and Irving with no mention of the head coach who cried after the game. In the eyes of many people, Tyronelu's life is a small person who follows the protagonist's side, and everything he gets is because of luck. But this season, with the Los Angeles Clippers and Cargiorgio Jr. out of the game, Tyrone Lu finally proved himself.
In the past three games, the Clippers' opponents have been the Lone Rangers and Warriors and the Suns, which are the top teams in the West, but the Clippers have defeated the Lone Rangers and Warriors in succession, and the one that lost to the Phoenix Suns was only a regrettable defeat. The role of a good head coach for a team is so obvious. In this game, the Clippers are going to face the Houston Rockets.
The Clippers are unstoppable
The Rockets' Little Potter continued to be absent in this game, so Schroder still started the game, at the beginning of the first quarter, Schroder had 6 points, 2 assists and 2 steals, Wood had 6 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, Tate shot 4 of 9 points and 2 rebounds, the team scored 27 points in a single quarter, but the Clippers bombed 36 points, including Reggie 8 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists, Mann 9 points, 2 rebounds, Morris 8 points and 2 assists. After returning from the second quarter, the Rockets continued to exert their strength, Green had 8 points and 1 assist, Matthews had 8 points and 2 rebounds, and the team exploded for 32 points in a single quarter.
But who would have thought that Kennard on the Los Angeles Clipper bench suddenly exploded, shooting 6 of 7 from three-point range, and a half-time three-pointer, with 19 points, 1 assist and 2 steals in a single quarter. With Kennard's help, the Clippers still led the Rockets by 12 points at halftime. In the second half, the Rockets' offense began to decline, Schroeder only had 3 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists on 1-of-6 shooting, and there were three turnovers, Morris Jr. had 17 points and 4 rebounds in a single quarter, Mann also had 9 points and 4 rebounds, and the Clippers extended the lead to 28 points.
With such a huge point difference, the game can be said to have lost its suspense. After returning from the last quarter, Kennard still had three points, and the point difference once reached 38 points, although the leader Green hit two consecutive three-pointers, but the point difference still showed no signs of narrowing. In the end, the Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Houston Rockets by 31 points at home 142-111, successfully giving their opponents a seven-game losing streak.
The rockets collapsed
With the Los Angeles Clippers still having seven players in double figures, Morris Jr. had 27 points, five rebounds and three assists, and in the absence of George Jr. and Powell, he was definitely the best card in Tyronelu's hand. Mann had 20 points, 8 rebounds and 1 assist, Reggie Jackson had 12 points, 3 rebounds and 14 assists, Kennard on the bench made 8 of 9 three-point shooting and had 25 points, 3 assists and 2 steals, Kofi had 11 points and 3 assists, and Harten had 13 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 5 blocks, facing the old owner, once again proving himself.
Tyrenlu told everyone that even if the cards in his hand were bad, he could lead the team to victory. The Rockets suffered a 7-game losing streak, with Green shooting 8-of-15 from the field and 5-of-10 three-pointers to get 21 points, 2 assists and 1 steal, with impeccable individual performance, Tate having 19 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, Wood 13 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist, Christopher 13 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals, Ferdonenan 10 points and 5 rebounds, and no other players scored in double figures. Schroeder started and had just nine points, three rebounds, nine assists and two steals on 3-of-11 shooting, as well as four turnovers.
