On April 4, Beijing time, when Tyrone Lulun Hugh George and other main players played a very hot attack, they played a very hot offensive in the comeback battle, George's three-point 4 in the first quarter, leading the Clippers to a single quarter of 8 three-pointers and 8 bullets without false shots. George continued to lead the team to suppress the Pelicans in the second quarter, and the Clippers extended their 20+ advantage by a 16-2 wave in the first half of the second quarter, playing a 29-13 offensive attack in the single quarter, hitting 12 three-pointers in the first two quarters, leading the Pelicans 66-44 in the first half, and is expected to beat the Pelicans for the first time this season, preventing the latter from locking up a play-off spot four games in advance.
The Pelicans are the core of the Los Angeles team this season, and the Pelicans, who lack Zion, are not only playing the Lakers' bitter main role, they have killed the Lakers three times this season to complete the season sweep. More critically, so far this season, the Pelicans have only met in the top 3 to kill the Clippers in a three-game game, so unbeaten record makes them a "Los Angeles nemesis", and the probability of advancing to the playoffs is far higher than that of the Lakers.
Although the Pelicans were originally a team that was not favored by too many people, especially since this season, the core of the interior line Zion has not been able to return and is not expected to return this season. It's just that the Pelicans have performed well in the recent past, and since the Lakers lost to the Nuggets and suffered a six-game losing streak, the Pelicans only need to beat the Clippers to be able to lock up a playoff spot four games in advance.
It was only in the face of the fourth meeting of the season with the Clippers that the Pelicans briefly led by four points in the opening game before being overwhelmed by the Clippers' crazy three-point rain offensive. George scored 12 points on four three-pointers in the first quarter of the comeback battle, especially in the final stage when he hit three consecutive three-pointers, leading a wave of small climaxes to lead the team to surpass the Pelicans by 6 points in the first quarter.
The Clippers fired 8 of 8 three-pointers in the first quarter and continued to blossom in and out of the first half of the second quarter, and the Clippers' 16-2 dream offensive, the advantage over the Pelicans has expanded to 53-33 to lead by 20 points. Further on, the Clippers continued to suppress the Pelicans, winning 16 points at 29-13 in the second quarter, hitting 12 three-pointers in the first half, 20+ advantages over the Pelicans in the first two quarters, naturally with the hope of revenge to avoid being swept, and it is also possible that the Pelicans will not have the opportunity to lock up a playoff seat in advance.
