Wei Shao Key 2 plus 1
After Wei Shao joined the Clippers, the new owner did not win a game, which was really embarrassing. Despite this, Lu continued to trust Wei Shao and let him start with Ka Pepper.
Facing the Grizzlies, who suffered a heavy pre-game hit and star Morant was suspended, the Clippers, who played with the strongest team, looked like they had a chance to end their losing streak, and Wilson's first win was promising.
But the Grizzlies can be second in the West, not only because of Morant, this Dillon is also suspended, but they have excellent team basketball. At halftime, the Grizzlies scored 61 points, trailing by just six points. Wei Shao was lackluster, scoring only 2 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in the half.
In the third quarter, Wei Shao scored only 2 points in a single quarter, 2 of 5 in the third quarter, and scored 4 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds. The Grizzlies played a crazy offensive climax, Jones alone scored 20 points, and the Grizzlies bombed 51 points in a single quarter, winning by 21 points, and surpassing by as many as 15 points.
Fortunately, Ka Pepper woke up in the fourth quarter, George exploded, slammed down 40+, and Junior countered with a violent dunk. With 2:47 left, Wilson broke through the strong fight, crushed Bane, scored the ball, and he roared in celebration to complete the 2-plus-1. This time 2 plus 1 was quite important and became a turning point in the game. In the final moments of the game, during the timeout, Wei Shao kept shouting at Xiaoka, which could make people feel how much he wanted to win.
Halted the slump and ended a 15-game losing streak in the starting lineup
Before the All-Star weekend, the Clippers were 33-28, fourth in the West and just one win away from the third-place Kings. However, after the All-Star, they lost consecutive games, after a five-game losing streak, and the Clippers have fallen to eighth place in the West.
After winning this victory, the Clippers stopped their decline and overtook the Lone Rangers to seventh place in the West. It is worth mentioning that Wei Shao also ended the embarrassment of the starting 15-game losing streak.
