In the NBA playoffs, the Clippers continue to host the G4 with the Suns. Junior continues to be absent from the game. After the start of the game, the two sides played very fiercely, the score was extremely glue, Durant and Booker teamed up to score points, Wei Shao used his personal ability to tenaciously support, but in the end, it was difficult to fight with two fists and four hands, and Paul scored 5 consecutive points in a row to lead the team to play 7-0 to open the point difference to double digits to kill the game. In the end, the Suns defeated the Clippers 112-100 to take a 3-1 lead to the game point.
It is worth mentioning that TNT reporter Chris Haynes reported on television the right knee injury of Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard.
Leonard has missed two consecutive games because of what the team calls a sprained right knee. He was injured sometime in the first two fights and I was told that after the G2 race, he developed severe swelling symptoms. As of today, he still has some swelling in his knee and, I was told, it wasn't a pain and it wasn't his decision to be out. After being evaluated, he was advised not to play to reduce the risk of further injuries. He has no comeback timeline. Haynes said.
In fact, Leonard's injury is understandable, after all, he is not a superstar known for his health; But it's been four years since I came to the Los Angeles Clippers, and my attendance is just over half; During the regular season, back-to-back games are definitely not played, and if there is a little physical problem, he will "recover from minor illness", and Leonard received unlimited support from the Clippers; However, when it came to the playoffs of "heroes are useful", the key moment that determined the results of a season, Leonard was still absent; And you can play the first two games, why are you suddenly absent from the third and fourth games? And management, coaches and teammates don't know exactly what happened or how Leonard was injured, which undoubtedly hit the morale of the Clippers hard.
Ironically, Leonard and Paul George are two stars watching from the sidelines, indifferent to the team's victory or defeat; Only Westbrook, who has a base-salary contract, fights hard with several superstars of the Phoenix Suns until the last minute; Seeing his teammates working so hard, didn't Leonard and his team feel a little selfish and shameless in their actions?
Every offseason, the Clippers and their fans advocate that "the all-staff Clippers will become the first in the league", but this all-staff Clippers have always existed in the mouth, never in reality.
