On March 23, Beijing time, the Nuggets defeated the Clippers 127-115 to avoid losing streaks, this game the Nuggets led by 10 points in the first quarter, led by 11 points after halftime, the third quarter of the two teams drew 27-27, the final quarter Clippers once narrowed the point difference to 3 points, but in the last 4 minutes the Nuggets regained control of the overall situation and finally won 12 points. After this battle, the Clippers have suffered 4 consecutive losses, and 10-5 losses are not optimistic.
After this battle, the Clippers 36 wins 38 losses to the eighth in the West, the Lakers and clippers have only 4 wins difference, both teams have 10 games, in theory, the Lakers still have the possibility of anti-super Clippers, as long as the Clippers continue their poor performance of various consecutive losses, the Lakers can complete the counter-overtaking with a wave of 4 consecutive wins, so the Nuggets beat the Clippers This game is undoubtedly good for the Lakers.
Nikola Jokic is the point that the Clippers can't solve, and the first saving Kich is all kinds of offensive talent in 9 minutes to have 14 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and he toysed Zubac in the palm of his hand. The game was 34 minutes, 9 of 15, 12 of 13 from the free throws, 30 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks, shooting 60%, if it were not for the 5 fouls on his back, Jokic would most likely be around 35+15+8.
Jokic's improvement this season is not only the offensive end, he played 7 minutes in the last quarter to send out 2 key blocks, 1-of-1 shooting with 4 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, such an inexplicable big man's lethality is too much. Zubac only had 6 points, 5 rebounds and 1 block, and Hatten had 14 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, neither of which were Jokic's opponents.
Before the game, Terren lu said that the team gave him a lot of autonomy without Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, whether it was rotation strategy or tactical arrangement, the team gave him the highest trust, but did Lu's coach, who lost consecutive battles, live up to this trust?
Earlier on March 23, Tyronelu revived the old story, saying that he had not had an easy time coaching James in the past, that you had LeBron does not mean that you can automatically win the championship, people are always saying that there is no LeBron can not do, 18 years he can also lead the team to the Finals, but I know he can't.
When coaching the Lakers, I received a 3-year, 18 million contract and I declined, this salary is much lower than my 5-year 35 million contract with the Cavaliers, the Lakers feel more that I am here to partner LeBron, no, I am here to win, I feel that I have been treated unfairly, I will not accept that job like this.
