On April 21, Beijing time, the Clippers and Suns G3 game, after Leonard's absence, the Clippers had a fatal impact on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. Indeed, Leonard's offensive and defensive ends are too critical for the team. Especially in the final quarter, the Clippers defensively completely lost, causing the Suns to continue to open the point gap, and finally lost to the Suns 124-129.
In fact, today Tyronn Lu lost the situation of five defenders in the final quarter to fight for his life. Indeed, this lineup is very dynamic, and the defensive end has unlimited changes, which is a pleasant surprise. On the offensive end, they also continued to charge, which also brought the Clippers close to 3 points. However, the hidden dangers of the five guards are too great, rebounds and height are not guaranteed, and they still cannot turn the situation around.
But Wei Shao completely dominated the arena today. The third quarter cut 15 points in a single quarter, such a scoring ability is already very terrifying. Wei Shao cut 30+8+11 data on 11-of-23 shooting in the whole game, and he has found the feeling of the Thunder period. After all, the offensive end has a high shooting percentage, the defensive end is willing to defend, and the organizational skills are also very good, Wei Shao has completely revitalized the team.
Especially for Powell, this is the contribution that Wei Shao showed in this game. In the end, in this case, Powell actually scored 42 points on 15-of-23 shooting, which is already very terrifying. After all, no one would have thought that Powell could cut such a high score, and the two of them could be regarded as dead enduring the whole game.
And the bench also dug into two cores. Among them, Hyland and Mann all scored double-doubles, their performance in the regular season was already good, and the playoffs were also considered to be a continuation of their play, and the two of them combined to cut 30 points, which is already very good.
It's just that Gordon's play is really not good. There was no desire in attack today, and 2-of-6 from the field, which is a bit of a slump. In fact, in the absence of Leonard, whether Gordon can storm away will determine the deterrent power of the Clippers' offensive end. After all, he and Wei Shao are the two main ball holding points, and once Gordon has no deterrent, it will affect the team's offensive performance too much.
