The Mavericks beat the Clippers 96-93 in a series tied 1-1. The overall performance of this Lone Ranger was still okay, at least he played a climax at the critical moment, stabilized his advantage, and finally won the victory. At this time, all walks of life expressed their opinions.
Its East Cic praised Irving for the first time: It's very uncomfortable for the Clippers to defend me and Irving at the same time, the Clippers are very uncomfortable, it's great to have him on our team. Now Irving has made a huge sacrifice, giving up too much of the ball and increasing the focus on the defensive end, all in order to give Doncic more opportunities to carry the ball. And Irving also proved himself in the finals, and it is really difficult for these two people to dare to be easy on the court. Coupled with the fact that the two of them combined to play against Harden in the final quarter, this is the key to the Clippers' victory.
O'Neal lamented the Clippers: I think the Clippers let a win slip away. In fact, in the final quarter, the Clippers once played a high lead of 6 points, but helplessly, the Clippers could not grasp the key shot during that time. And Zubac couldn't keep the inside line on the court, and the team's vitality on the defensive end was lost after Wei Shao went down. When the Mavericks finally got on the swing, the Clippers couldn't respond at all. Now, the state of George and Leonard still needs to be found with the ball, especially Leonard.
So at this time, countless people mentioned Leonard. Wang Meng emphasized: The next game should give the answer to the small card. Xu Jingyu said: Kajiao single-handedly buries a good game. And the Clippers reporter also emphasized: The biggest problem for the Clippers at the moment is whether the small card can return to the playoff mode. Such words make it very clear that the problem of Leonard's state will have a very large impact on the situation. In fact, Leonard himself wants to play well, after all, he came back early and definitely hopes to help the team win. Helplessly, it was so high intensity at the beginning, and it was difficult for him to accept it.
And Leonard made it clear that he did not participate in training and has been recovering. I also hope that Leonard can show his value as much as possible in the next game.
