The NBA regular-season Clippers played against the Timberwolves, with the two teams finishing fifth and ninth in the West. The Clippers were in excellent form in the first quarter, leading by 7 points at one point, and the Timberwolves overtook the score in the second quarter, and the Timberwolves took a two-point lead at halftime, and then suppressed all the way, and at the end of the third quarter, the Timberwolves had a double-digit lead, and the Clippers kept chasing but always took a breath, and finally the Timberwolves won 108-101 at home. After the loss, the Clippers fell but were sixth in the West, while the Timberwolves rose to eighth in the West.
Since joining West, the Clippers have suffered three consecutive losses.
Losing in a row, whose pot that? There must be part of the reason, Xiaoka scored 23 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists on 7-of-19 shooting, including 12 points on 3-of-12 shooting in the first half.
Throughout the game, Xiaoka is almost all single-handed, or even a dozen two, as for why he doesn't pass the ball, the players on the field who match him, as long as the ball is passed, it has nothing to do with him, and he will never come back. And Xiaoka's physical fitness is also a problem, always feel that he can't make a difference, as a star, he can't play at key moments, all rely on teammates, how can he not lose.
Second-in-command George also accounted for part of the reason, he finished with 25 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists on 10-of-21 shooting. The data is still said in the past, but George don't always think about holding the ball, it is easy to drop the ball or pass the wrong with the ball, and George can't lead the team alone, let him lead the team alone in the fourth quarter of the game, that is directly digging.
The two cores account for part of the reason, is it difficult for the cauldron to be carried by Wei Shao again? Wrong, Wei Shao really didn't have to carry it, he scored 14 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists on 5-of-11 shooting, including 8 assists in the first half. But Wei Shao was on the court at the end of the third quarter until the last five minutes of the fourth quarter, and scored three points on the court to continue the team's life, how can this pot make him back? Do you have to blame a base-salary player with an annual salary of 780,000 if you lose? If Wei Shao was still 47 million years old, it really couldn't be said, but he only has 780,000 now, which is a great value.
And Wei Shao plays quite aggressively on the court, and as a point guard, he can also score in the air.
It can only be said that the Clippers lost, other teammates on the court did not give a boost, look at Powell, in one round, teammates passed to him and ignored, but went to busy spraying the referee, sending points to the Timberwolves for nothing.
And the Clippers as a whole are playing randomly, whoever takes the ball and who attacks, and they are not defending, it can be said that except for Xiaoka and Wei Shao, they don't want to win.
This time Tyronn Lu is responsible, and the employment is too failed. Like Morris, who has been in a slump for many consecutive games, he is even more suitable for starting, Tyronn Lue firmly uses him, and players such as Highland, Gordon, Covington and others have no chance at all, and Mann defends well but does not give him much playing time.
Coach Tyronn Lu, that's it, please put the pot on your back.
