Claycon scored 37 points! Warriors dud in the third quarter
110-121, the Golden State Warriors lost to the Eagles at Atlanta's State Agricultural Arena, taking the second game of a five-game road trip. Neither side is very defensive in this game, so the offensive data is better. However, in the third quarter, the Warriors suddenly muted on the offensive end, and the Eagles quickly seized the opportunity to open the point difference, and since then, Golden State has never turned the score over again...
Trae Young has been feeling good in recent games, shooting less than 50% in the first two games. In this game, Yang Shaoxia used 20 shots to cut down 33 points, 4 of 9 three-pointers, and 7 of 9 shots within the three-point line, which was productive and efficient.
For most of the game, Trae Young was in a state where he could not be restricted. Payton Jr. is the most effective opponent in the Warriors, and with the pinch of the other warriors, Yang once had a hard time completing the shot. Thompson has the strength and can always stay in front of Yang's body, but the center of gravity is still high, and the current movement is not as flexible as before the injury, so the effect of defending Yang Shaoxia can only be regarded as decent. Pure forwards such as Wiggins and Cumminga are even more incompatible, both of them are too tall, and they are not known for their defensive skills, and the effect of defending Yang Shaoxia is sparse.
However, without knowing why, Kerr did not keep letting Peyton Jr. go against Yang Shaoxia, which directly led to the latter's outbreak in the third quarter. In the second half, the whistle sounded, Trae Young launched the most violent attack, 6 of 11 shots in a single quarter, cut 15 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists, led the team to play two waves of offensive waves, a single quarter net victory over the opponent by a full 16 points, and the Golden State Warriors only scored 16 points in this quarter.
Thompson scored another 35+ after his victory over the Bucks on March 13, with Tang scoring a total of nine three-pointers in this game (the most three-pointers he hit in a single game this season), cutting 37+7+3. Unfortunately, however, "Tang Shen" felt good in the 1st, 2nd and 4th quarters (66%, 80% and 55% shooting rates in the three quarters, respectively), however, in the third quarter, his feel quickly declined, and he shot a total of 6 shots, only hitting 1 goal. In the last quarter, although "Tang Shen" personally scored 13 points, the rest of the players did not feel good, only 14 points were recorded in the whole quarter, and the Eagles bit the score and did not let the victory slip away from their hands.
Philadelphia beats Los Angeles in a row! Harden status resumes
After a one-day truce, the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Los Angeles Clippers 122-97 in the same arena, winning three straight games (three consecutive days against the Los Angeles duo) and giving their opponents a five-game losing streak.
In contrast to the Los Angeles Lakers, the los Angeles Clippers are in a very poor state in these games, and in the five games lost, the Clippers' average shooting rate is only 41.6%, ranking third from the bottom in the same period, and the offensive efficiency is 107.8, which can only rank fifth from the bottom in the same period. In the first two quarters against the 76ers, the Clippers did not shoot more than 35% in one of the quarters, and the midfield whistle sounded, and the Clippers trailed their opponents by 21 points.
Harden and Embiid both contributed gorgeous stats, scoring a combined 54 points at the end of the third quarter (embiid and Harden scored 27 and 29 points respectively in the whole game). James Harden reached a peak of form in recent times, scoring 25 points at halftime, higher than the Clippers' starting five-man score in the first half.
Kofi played full in the third quarter, cutting 12 points, which once brought some suspense to the game, but the 76ers were very hot throughout the game (42% from three-point shooting), and Embiid also scored 10 points in the third quarter, firmly grasping the direction of the game.
The Heat's form slipped at the end of the season, and the Knicks successfully filled the pit
Following a 14-point net win by the Golden State Warriors in the fourth quarter of the last game, the East staged another tragedy at home. Facing the New York Knicks without Randall, the Miami Heat, the first in the East, were netted by 23 points in the final quarter, and finally lost to their opponents 103-111, winning their third consecutive loss.
The Knicks have been in the past two years, starting to dig pits and fill pits on behalf of others. In the first three quarters, the Knicks did not win the Heat in the goal difference, including losing 13 points in the first and third quarters. The two most important offensive points in the starting lineup, Barrett and Fournier, did not play well, with only 18 and 7 points respectively, shooting 29% and 18% respectively.
Miami has been in a bad offensive position in recent times, and in the last three games, their offensive efficiency is only 112.1 and their shooting percentage is 46.8%, which can only rank in the middle of the league. Without Hiro and Vincent on the court, the Heat's offense would be unsustainable at some point.
In the entire fourth quarter, the first place in the East only had 15 points in the account, the overall shooting rate was less than 30%, Lowry and Butler are superstars with heads and faces, but the two men's attacks in the final quarter are more like piecemeal fights than to turn the tide (Butler scored 5 points on 2-of-4 shooting, lowry scored 4 points on 1-of-4 shooting).
It is the young player on the other side, Quakerley, a 2nd-year newcomer who is tall and small, but can bring endless surprises. Quakeley played the full quarter in the fourth quarter, scoring 20 points on 5-of-9 shooting, five points higher than the entire Heat team scoring in the fourth quarter.... Difficult three-pointers, throwing, and directional breakthroughs, Quakely is all good, and his performance overwhelms the other players on the field, becoming the brightest star on the field.
