Mavericks VS Clippers Series G1, Carca Jr. hangs up the exemption card due to a knee injury, the Eastern European combination is isolated, the two team up to score 64 points, the Mavericks still can't escape a defeat, the Clippers hold the home court advantage under the super god play of Harden Zubac, and go down first! After a short break and adjustment, the series G2 is about to start! The big battle is coming, both teams have some new dynamics, let's take a look. Here it is! The card is officially back, Harden puts down his rhetoric, and Kidd announces a new decision.
Before the big game, there was good news from the Clippers. Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said in an interview: Xiaoka can play in Series G2, and there is no appearance limit! This is the confidential card we are familiar with, go in a hurry, come in a hurry, and never fight an unprepared battle! Before that, Xiaoka has missed 9 consecutive games due to knee inflammation, and has been treated with injections and fluid pumping, and the recovery speed is far lower than expected. According to Clippers reporter Law Murray, it wasn't until 90 minutes before the start of the game that the Clippers lifted the label that the small card was doubtful.
Xiaoka's Chinese agent barbecue sister followed up the report that although Xiaoka did not play in the official game, he recently came to the court two hours early every day and sweated profusely. Obviously, there is only one reason for Xiaoka's official comeback, that is, he is ready, and the team does not feel that there will be any risk, after all, Xiaoka is the absolute trump card of the Clippers to impact the championship, and the team will never let him appear rashly because of the gains and losses of one city and one pool! In the playoffs last season, Xiaoka averaged 34.5 points + 6.5 rebounds + 6 assists + 2 steals per game, and the scene of crushing KD at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends is still vivid. This time, Xiaoka has been given enough time to recover, and I believe that the robot god of war can regain his glory.
In the words of Clippers coach Tyronn Lue, this is the terrible thing about Harden, he knows what he should do on the court - when George Jr. is there, he is willing to be a green leaf to reduce his role, and when someone is absent, he can also increase his role and step up and score. If you want to go back to the roots, the key is that Harden has passed the age of obsessing with playing alone, and competing for the championship is the top priority! Before G2, Harden put down his arrogance in an interview: I have been in the league for 15 years, I have played for different teams, and each team needs me to do different things, and I will be ready for everything. I've made it every year to Dr. Chance, and I'm going to keep working hard to pursue the ultimate goal of a championship, and this year is a great opportunity and I'm going to do everything I can to make it happen."
Mavericks coach Kidd said bluntly in an interview: Xiaoka is the future Hall of Fame supergiant, no matter how long he is absent, we will be ready for this, and we have made preparations for both in G1G2. At the same time, Kidd announced a new decision, saying: I will give more playing time to Josh Green, who is doing well in G1, the Clippers are tall and have a long arm and a good ability to destroy the ball, if we want to win G2, we have to play rhythm, we can't get caught in their defensive circle! Fans, which team do you think the Mavericks or Clippers can win the series G2?
