On March 4, Beijing time, the Clippers encountered the king back-to-back. Wei Shao played his strongest game since joining the team, and throughout the game, he went 12 of 16, scoring 27 points, 10 assists, 2 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 steal. Helplessly, the Clippers' defense is sparse, suffering 5 consecutive losses, counting last season, Wei Shao's starting lineup has lost 15 consecutive losses, which is really heart-wrenching.
Join the Clippers for the strongest battle
The Clippers have yet to win since Wilson joined the team. This time he fought the king again, and the small truck load management rotated. For the Clippers, to end their losing streak, they need someone else to step up.
Wei Shao broke out in time. Not long after the game was played, Wei Shao staged a wonderful steal. He slapped the ball in Xiaosa's hand, quickly advanced, galloped, and a dragon made a layup, and the opponent's defense could not keep up with Wei Shao's footsteps.
Throughout the first quarter, Wei played 9 minutes and 33 seconds, shooting 4 of 5, 1 of 2 free throws, scoring 9 points, 5 assists and 1 steal, and only 1 turnover. In the second quarter, Wei Shao continued his fiery form, and in the last moments of the half, after he broke through the bottom line, his hands were violently buckled, allowing people to see the demeanor of the Thunder that year.
In the first half of the game, Wei Shao did dream of returning to the top, he played 17 minutes and shot 7 of 8 for a half-high 15 points, 7 assists, plus 1 rebound, 1 steal, and only 2 turnovers.
In the second half, Wei Shao continued his excellent form, and at the end of the third quarter, he went 10-of-14 with 22 points and 9 assists, which was quite efficient. In the fourth quarter, Wei Shao did not give up and continued to help the team chase points, but he could not save the savior.
The starting 15-game losing streak should not be blamed
In this battle, it is indeed unfair to put the pot on Wei Shao's head. In fact, the biggest problem with the Clippers today is their defense, and in the first half, they scored 63 points but still fell behind because of their poor defense, which allowed the Kings to score 68 points.
Without Zubac on the inside to protect the basket, the king's attack was demanding. In the first half, the Kings blossomed a little more, and all four of the starting lineup scored double-doubles. In the second half, the two sides continued to go on the offensive as the Kings continued their frenzied offensive, and they had already stretched the gap to double digits in the fourth quarter.
The Clippers have scored 100 points in 17 consecutive games, and without defense, it is too difficult for them to win, after all, they need to maintain excellent offensive form, which is easier said than done.
In this way, Wei Shao suffered the embarrassment of losing 15 consecutive games in the starting lineup, but this time he really did not back the pot, with a base salary of 780,000, Wei Shao has done everything he has to do.
