The Lakers will burst 45 points and tie twice! The Clippers lost in double overtime, Leonard scored 44 points, and Wilson met the qualitative change
The NBA ushered in a confrontation between the big teams, with the Kings, currently ranked third in the West, and the Clippers, who are fourth, narrowly matched. And the most noteworthy part of this game is naturally that the newly joined Wei Shao will usher in his debut. And Wei Shao, who has been on the bench for the Lakers for most of this season, will return to the starting position in this game, and it is worth looking forward to what effect the new Big Three can play.
For Lu to guide such an arrangement, Skip, who has always been good at yin and yang monsters, obviously will not miss the opportunity to express his opinion, he said on Twitter: Wei Shao will start for the Clippers today, and James will roll his eyes and snicker in a corner. The Clippers have fallen into the same trap James was in last season, saying, 'Let Wilson be himself.'" Wei Shao will perform well for a period of time, and then...
The starting line-ups for both teams today are:
Kings – Barnes, Murray, Sabonis, Huerter, Fox
Clippers – Wilson, George, Leonard, Morris Jr., Plumlee
Section 1:
Sa stared directly at Plumlee and hit two points on the inside. Wei Shao also hit the inside to make a kill, and then hit all two free throws to score the first point of his Clippers career.
The Kings started with a hot hand from the outside, hitting three consecutive three-pointers to take an 11-5 lead. But Plumlee received a pass from Wilson and succeeded 2+1 in color.
The overall feel of the two teams in the first quarter is good, and the scoring points are very scattered, with a very high shooting percentage,
At 7 minutes and 39 seconds, the Clippers requested a timeout!
The game continued, and Wilson received a pass from George and scored an easy layup to score the first athletic game of the Clippers' career, helping the team tie the score at 21. Ballmer, the owner of the Clippers, also picked up the water glass and drank it after seeing this cooperation.
Leonard was in hot form today, and his mid-range shooting was completely hand-to-hand, and with his 2+1 success, the Clippers once again achieved a comeback, and the score reached 28-27. The Kings' offense suddenly lost power, and the Clippers went on an 11-0 scoring wave to bring the margin to 7 points.
In the final moments of the first quarter, Leonard hit a two-point hit to tie the two teams to 40-40. Leonard was completely unstoppable in this quarter, maintaining a 100% shooting percentage and scoring 13 points alone. Wei Shao also played reasonably in his debut, scoring 4 points, 2 assists, and 1 rebound.
Section 2:
In 8 minutes, Wei Shao returned to the field, and the audience instantly cheered. The two sides exchanged each other on the offensive end, with the Clippers scoring from outside the three-point line in a row, and the Kings taking advantage of the Clippers' lack of height and flank protection on the inside to frequently impact the basket.
At 6 minutes and 19 seconds, the Clippers requested a timeout!
The King came back with an 11-0 run, and Sa scored six consecutive points on the inside to successfully overtake the score 66-64. The situation between the two teams remained glued after that, and in the last minute, Wei Shao first scored under the basket himself, and then assisted Powell to drop a three-point bag. In the end, the Clippers were 80-76 and entered the second half with a four-point advantage.
Section III:
Yibian fights again, and the defense of the two teams still does not play a good role for the core players. However, compared to Leonard's steady play, Sa received his fifth foul shortly after the start of the quarter and had to return to the bench.
In the final three minutes of the quarter, the two sides were still playing hard, and every time the Clippers tried to extend the advantage, someone always stepped up to score. The Kings were also heavily invested in Leonard's defense, and their body movements were getting bigger and bigger, but this gave other players room to play, and finally the third quarter ended, and the Clippers were 117-110, leading the Kings by 7 points.
Section 4:
In the final quarter, the Kings came up and hit a wave of 8-2 to shorten the gap to just one point, but immediately Gordon and Batum made three points, and the two teams instantly started a wave of three-point rain.
Then the Clippers played another wave of offensive rhythm, Batum and Powell hit three-point shots from the bottom corner, George hit another 2+1, and the Clippers' lead went straight to 13 points. However, the King will obviously not surrender easily, and with Sa's dunk and Munch's chasing three-point hit, the difference returns to single digits.
At 3 minutes and 34 seconds, the Clippers requested a timeout!
The game continued, and Leonard came back with a steady shot, and the difference was once again in double digits. However, the Kings then made consecutive steals and managed to play a 13-2 scoring tide to bring the score to 146-147.
At the most critical moment, Wei Shao suddenly accelerated to the basket to score, changing the score to 151-148. However, the Kings scored two points quickly, leaving the Clippers with 9 seconds.
On 8.5 seconds, King chose to foul and George hit two free throws. In the final moments, Monk made a winning three-pointer to tie 153 and go into overtime.
Overtime:
George hit a shot, and the two teams were once again locked in a fight. Then the Clippers' new Big Three began to play strong, Leonard completed a wonderful defense, Wilson hit a three-point shot from the bottom corner, George directly let Xiao Sa go off the court, the Clippers 162-156, 6 points ahead of the Kings.
But the Kings showed their tenacity again, and they finished a brilliant defense in a row, and after Monk hit both free throws, the two teams went 164-164, and the Clippers had one last chance left. Unfortunately, neither George nor Batum hit the ball, and both sides went into the second overtime.
Although it is already the second overtime, the two teams are still difficult to solve. At key moments, Leonard completed consecutive defenses against Fox, Clippers 174-169, during which Leonard completely locked Fox and sent two wonderful hats. But Monk stepped up again and helped the team play a 7-0 to win 176-175.
Leonard and Fox missed shots, and the Clippers had 5.5 seconds left on attack. In the end, Batum missed a shot, and the Kings narrowly defeated their opponents 176-175.
Leonard didn't make a shot, and Wei Shao made a makeover
In this game, Leonard once again cut back to his tuba, and he once again showed his incomprehensible mid-range shooting ability. Although the king has tried his best to target him, whether it is changing defenses, bags, or Xiaosa directly defending, it is difficult to stop him from hitting the ball steadily.
And Wei Shao's debut today is reasonable to describe in two words. He changed his previous reckless style of play, handled every ball very well, and strictly implemented the team's tactical arrangements. Even when he sees a good chance, he still chooses to pass the ball to his teammates. It can be said that this Wei Shao style of play ushered in a qualitative leap, if this performance and style of play can be continued, it can only be said that the Clippers spent 780,000 is simply not worth it.
