153-119！ The Clippers swept up a new storm with a crazy victory. They blasted down 153 points in just four regular quarters without overtime, pressing the defending champion Bucks to the floor and the depth of the horrible lineup was shocking.
In the final moments of the regular season, the Clippers and Bucks are not like the Lakers and Spurs, and they still need to work hard for playoff spots. The Bucks have largely locked in the top four in the East, while the Clippers have basically advanced directly to the playoffs. Therefore, this battle, the platooning of the two teams, is also very interesting.
The Bucks directly let the likes of Alphabet Brother, Holliday, Middleton and Lopez truce, while the Clippers not only did not have Leonard, George, but even the core of the season, Reggie, Morris and Batum, etc. were all absent, directly replaced by unknown marginal players.
However, no one expected that Covington had exploded. As the league's top 3D star of the past, Covington once had the most glorious moments of his career in Philadelphia and the Rockets, but then moved to the Blazers, once because of injuries. At the Clippers this season, Covington has also often been low-key and invisible, without the important influence of the past. But in this battle, he once again set off waves.
At the beginning of the game, Covington was full of firepower, and on the offensive end, he and his teammates soared three points in a row to quickly control the Clippers' offense. The Clippers blossomed more, and the Bucks were simply powerless to resist and could only be passively beaten. By the end of the half, the Clippers were already leading by double digits.
The third quarter was Covington's performance moment, and he shot three consecutive points to completely crush the Bucks' defense. In a single quarter, he shot 5-of-7, 5-of-6 from three-point range, and had 17 points, 2 boards and 1 assist, and the Clippers led 20+, and the game has basically entered garbage time. But the Clippers are already on the bench, and there is no need to remove these so-called starting stars. So Covington continued to erupt, and the Bucks broke up.
Unconsciously, Covington has soared nearly 10 three-pointers, and the long-sided letter brother does not think so, but coaxes him to encourage him: "Brother, shock the record!" Covington did not live up to the expectations of his opponents, and finally hit 11 three-pointers, and bombarded the whole game with 43 points, 8 boards, 2 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks.
In this battle, Covington set a number of historical records.
With 43 points and 11 three-pointers in a single game, Covington's two stats set a new career high;
Hitting 11 three-pointers in a single game, Covington tied the record for the highest three-pointer shooting of the season;
11 three-pointers, also a single-game three-point shooting record in Clippers history;
With 40+ shots in a single game and at least 10 three-pointers, Covington is the third man this season after Fournier and Sadiq Bay;
With at least 40 points, 8 boards, 2 breaks and 2 blocks in a single game, and at least 10 three-pointers, Covington is the first person in history.
Covington, 31, has been marginalised in the league's position and influence. In the fiercely competitive alliance, in the context of the emergence of young talents, his return to the throne and his rebirth are all infinitely exciting. And the figure hidden behind the Clippers' remnants, Tyrenlu, also became taller and more majestic.
