Today with Teacher Yang to accompany everyone in the studio to watch, just next door CCTV rebroadcast also chose this, a good thing!
Among the major professional teams in Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Clippers may be the least popular. They don't have championship titles and haven't even made it to the finals. However, another team in Los Angeles is also missing major generals, and with the main star injured, the Lakers are now 31-44, and have fallen to eleventh in the West, and they have to work hard for a playoff qualification.
What about the Clippers? 37 wins and 39 losses, the good guys also sat firmly in the eighth position in the West.
George's right elbow ligament was torn, and he had an old wound on his right shoulder, which he hadn't hit since Last December. Without Xiao Ka and George, the team's star color is naturally not ideal, but I would say that a team without stars can play wonderful team basketball. In the past, because there was Paul Griffin, we all said that the Clippers were lob city, the city of air connections.
What about the Clippers now? It's already the City of Reversals.
This is not a slap on the head, the Clippers in January this year, completed three big reversals behind 24 points. The most outrageous is the game against the Washington Wizards, the Clippers scored a total of 36 points in the first half, 35 points behind the Wizards, how to see how to lose the game, right? The result? The Clippers both scored 40 points in the third and fourth quarters, Kennard became the same as Leonard, Kofi replaced George's role in the team, the Clippers became more and more courageous, the Wizards were defeated, and in the last 20 seconds, the Wizards were still 7 points ahead, they were still killed by Kennard for 3 consecutive points.
Sharing a set of data from Sportscenter, the NBA has had 16,239 similar occurrences over the past 20 seasons, with only two teams reversing, one of which is the Clippers.
The Clippers are now both tough and hard-working. Yes, because without stars, their offense really doesn't work, and their offensive efficiency of 108.1 points per 100 possessions is the fifth-to-last in the league. Only better than the Thunder, Magic, Pistons, rockets and other bad teams.
Attack depends on the talent of the stars, but defense depends on the efforts of the players. The Clippers conceded 109.7 points per 100 possessions to rank eighth in the league. So many reversals, it is precisely because lu's guidance of the chicken blood play well, the whole team from the defense, no matter how much behind the fight as at the beginning of the game.
Can a team survive the season by playing chicken blood? Even the Chicken Blood Master Lu Guidance was struggling. In the 10 games before playing the Jazz today, the Clippers lost eight games. Seeing that this ranking is not up and down, the players themselves are also a little slack.
But today's long-lost good news came, George was coming back after 3 months out, and there was no time limit. Coach Lu said before the game: "George came back at the right time, it was undoubtedly a shot in the arm, which is exactly what we needed, because we are all feeling a little tired now. ”
The Lord will return, rejoicing. But the Clippers played this game today is hard enough, and the Jazz, who have lost four consecutive games, also have a lot of internal and external troubles, and they urgently need a victory to boost morale. After the opening, the Jazz were full of momentum, leading the Clippers by 18 points, and Conley's three-point whistle thrown in the first quarter was scored, and it can be said that luck is on the side of the Jazz today.
76-51, which was the biggest point difference between the two teams today. At that time, Teacher Yang and I looked at each other in the studio: Yes, this ball has been spent again today!
In last year's playoffs, the two teams had a very dramatic game. It was also on this venue, in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals, that the Jazz led the Clippers 75-50.
Today and that day's plot can be said to be the same. The Clippers, led by George, began a frantic counterattack in the third quarter.
George scored 20 points on 5-of-7 shooting and 3-of-4 three-pointers in the third quarter, boosting the morale of the whole team and you can always trust the returning George.
The Clippers in the fourth quarter were all soldiers, with Reggie scoring 10 points, Kennard scoring 8 points on 3-of-3 and Haltenstein on 4-of-5. It wasn't until the final 2 minutes of the game that the Clippers took the lead for the first time, but it was this time that the lead was maintained until the end.
Counting today's game, so far this season, the Clippers have completed 5 reversals while behind 20+ and 3 times they have reversed and won 3 times when they have fallen behind 25+, both of which are the most single-season in the league in the past 20 years. Isn't it too much to say that the Clippers reversed the city?
After today's game, Director Lu gave the first credit to George, who said: "George's comeback has undoubtedly greatly improved the morale of the team. Over the past few days, when we learned that he had a chance to play again and show up in training to run in with the team, the whole atmosphere of the team has become completely different. ”
The Clippers put aside, and we'll say two more words about the Jazz.
Although the Jazz also have a record of 45 wins and 30 losses, but this season's faceless focus of the game, they really can always be reversed. After the Lakers lackEd Davis, the only strong team that has won is the Jazz, or twice. Playing the Spurs, they allowed Popovich to break the winning record. Playing the Clippers, today is another big score reversal. As far as the Jazz team is concerned, it is estimated that it is not far from the playoffs.
Lou gave the credit to George. Who inspires George to say he was motivated by? George said after the game: "I got my inspiration from Kobe Bryant, who also tried to come back after a major injury. That's what I want to get back into the team at this time. ”
Although this is said a lot, it is still necessary to say: this is the mamba spirit, which has influenced generations of players.
Well, today's game is enjoyable enough.
Could this big reversal just be the Clippers counter-offensive horn just blown, George back, powell and Leonard still far away?
When the Clippers are in line, which team in the West is not afraid? Who doesn't like a team like that?
