287秒轰出22-0冲击波

Let's start by recapping the adversity of the Clippers at the time. At the end of the game with 5:33 left in the game, Bridges scored on a layup to give the Nets an 111-point lead at 114-103. At this point, Tyronn Lue asked for a timeout, and Clippers fans may have been a little desperate at the time.

Less than a minute before this timeout, Lue had already removed Theis and replaced it with a small card, and the lineup of the Death Five was lined up, ready to give it a go. As it turned out, it worked!

With 5:17 left in the game, George hit a three-pointer, followed by a steal and an assist for a dunk by Harden. After Jr. scored two straight free throws, Powell stepped up and hit a three-point shot from the bottom corner. With 3 minutes and 44 seconds left in the race, there was only 1 point left!

Nets coach Vaughn quickly called a halt, but he didn't find a way to deal with the five. The Clippers' defense kept the Nets on offense in vain, and the small card had found his senses, making a mid-range shot, a free throw, a three-pointer, and scoring seven points in a row. The scales of victory were completely tipped in favor of the Clippers. Powell flew to dunk, and the small card hit a three-point shot, and the Clippers led by 11 points!

From an 11-point lead from the Nets to an 11-point lead from the Clippers, the Clippers died in a total of only 287 seconds, and in the last 30 seconds, they replaced the main team and celebrated the victory in advance.

How fierce was the Clippers Death Five?

Counting this game, the Clippers have used Harden + Wei Shao + Xiaoka + George + Powell in a total of 7 games, with a cumulative use time of 18 minutes. Obviously, this match took the power of this lineup to the extreme.

In these 18 minutes, the Clippers' offensive efficiency was an insane 150.0 and the defensive efficiency was 95.5, in other words, they could score 150 points per 100 rounds, only let the opponent score 95.5 points per 100 rounds, and win the opponent by 54.5 points per 100 rounds.

The Big Four are not necessarily inappropriate to play together, it depends on the players they match and the situation of the opponent. It's not a lineup that the Clippers routinely use, but as a killer feature that suddenly throws out, the power is still quite good.

After winning this victory, the Clippers' record has become 27-14 and continues to close to the top three in the West. Are you optimistic that they will win the first championship in the team's 54-year history this year?
