NBA regular season, the Clippers home to the Thunder, this game was originally not suspenseful, but because of the Thunder's scorching with the Lakers in the record ranking, the attention of this game increased greatly, and even became the focus of the game.
Of course, more notable in this game than the result is the injury of Paul George, who was hit hard in the leg while grabbing a rebound, suffered a knee joint injury, and had to rest and did not return for the rest of the game.
In the game, the broadcaster gave a set of George's data, according to the data: George scored 6 points on 3-of-8 shooting in the first half and 12 points on 6-of-9 shooting in the second half, in fact, George has scored 20+ points in the last 7 games, averaging 28.3 points per game.
The Clippers have just gained momentum, but they have to face an outgame.
Obviously, the Thunder this season is not so easy to handle, Alexander's breakthrough made the Clippers unable to prevent at all, which is why the Clippers have always been behind in this game, Eric Gordon, although he is strong, his legs and feet are obviously slower than Alexander.
Kawhi Leonard performed well throughout the game, but unfortunately, the tactical arrangement of the final attack was too problematic to complete the final shot.
In this game, Clippers player Kawhi Leonard played 38 minutes, shooting 7 of 16, including 2 of 5 three-pointers, 5 of 7 free throws, and 21 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals.
It is worth mentioning that Westbrook played well, especially in the first quarter of the game combing in place, so that the team relied on his passing, in the game, Clippers reporter Joey Linn tweeted: Westbrook was replaced with 3 minutes and 23 seconds left in the first quarter, and the Clippers did not make a goal in the remaining time.
In this game, Gilges Alexander played a wonderful game against his old club, playing 36 minutes, shooting 12 of 25, including 1 of 4 three-pointers, 6 of 7 free throws, and scored 31 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, suppressing all opposing players.
The Clippers started the game with the downwind.
In the first quarter, Paul George took the ball inside and jumped up to grab Jaylin Williams and make a penalty, but his personal form did not carry over to the entire team, and although there were back and forth between the two sides at first, the Thunder's strong offense soon showed its style.
In the final 3:23 of the first quarter, the Clippers' offense fell silent after Wilson came off the court, scoring three points on Leonard's free throws to make it 11-3.
From this situation, we can see that Wei Shao still has a lot of changes compared to the Lakers period.
In the second quarter, George jumped up and shot in the face of the defense and made a free throw, and the Clippers are still trailing by 3 points, in fact, the Thunder played a wonderful game, but the referee's "favoritism" of them was somewhat serious but ruined the game, and the difference between the two sides was quite bad.
In the second quarter , Leonard scored a layup and considered the hitman , but the referee did not give any penalty. Leonard was dissatisfied with the referee and was whistled for a technical foul, and teammate Terrenceman stepped forward and the referee's theory was blown 2T and was directly ejected.
Clippers reporter Farbod Esnaashari tweeted: "Without Mann, I feel like the Clippers would have to use Covington." ”
Indeed, Tyronn Lue had to take Covington next, and the veteran's performance did not disappoint.
In the first half, Wei Shao shot 4-of-5 for 9 points, 6 rebounds and 1 steal; Leonard went 2-of-8 with 8 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.
In the third quarter of the game, it was the stage of the Clippers' continuous chasing points, Westbrook and Paul George's play was really quite eye-catching, Westbrook broke through without looking at people to pass back to Plumlee, helping him catch the ball to complete the dunk, and then in the time, Paul George got the opportunity to catch the ball and complete a 360-degree two-handed stretch dunk.
These offenses boosted the morale of the Clippers, and while there were still few chances at the score level, at least they were able to maintain momentum.
The final game is basically Alexander's field, the player who once came out of the Clippers, who is not soft in the face of his old club, but, fortunately, Paul George's form is hot, and the overall performance can be said to be comparable to the chips of this trade himself.
In the first half, Paul George's offense helped the Clippers maintain their momentum for chasing points, and his mid-range swing and accurate three-pointers allowed the Clippers to tie the score, but unfortunately, his injury while grabbing the rebound made the situation confusing.
After George was injured, Tyronn Lue chose to face the Thunder with the starting lineup + Gordon, although the defensive end still can't face Alexander, allowing the opponent to score frequently, but the offensive end of this lineup can fight with the opponent and shoot three-pointers.
The stalemate reached the final moment, with the Thunder leading by just one point with 1 minute left in the game, but Alexander hit a key ball to stop the Clippers.
However, the Clippers did not admit defeat, missed a three-point shot, but Westbrook scored a key frontcourt rebound, and the Clippers were able to return the color with 30 seconds left in the game, and the Thunder 101-100 Clippers.
In the last 20 seconds, Kawhi Leonard held the ball to play the final attack, and his teammates were waiting for his single, but the Thunder's joint defense allowed Kawhi Leonard to have no shots, which led to him having to dribble non-stop, but in the end, he failed to shoot in time, and the game was over.
The Thunder wins.
