On April 24, the NBA playoffs continued today, and the Clippers welcomed a game against the Mavericks G2 at home. In this game, Clippers star Xiaoka was relieved of his injury before the game and finally ushered in a comeback. After the start of the game, the Mavericks took the lead and kept the score lead. The Clippers, on the other hand, are a bit chaotic because of the comeback of the small card, and they can't continue to output a stable offense. Entering the third quarter of the game, the Clippers launched a wave of offensive attacks to close the score, and finally caught up with the score difference in the final quarter, but the Mavericks still felt better in the final quarter of the game, and finally completed revenge under the leadership of Doncic and Irving.
Summing up the game after the game, judging from the process of the game, the Clippers didn't do a good job of defense today, or the Mavericks found a way to deal with it, and the offensive end felt bad, and the team's three-point shooting rate was only 26.7%, while the Mavericks were as high as 42.4%. Although the Clippers are not much behind their opponents in terms of interior offense and rebounding today, because of their poor three-point hand, they have never been able to play an efficient offense to complete the big score overtake, which is a reflection of their lack of stamina. Of course, this loss is still acceptable for the Clippers, and it can be said that through this game, the Clippers have gained a happy harvest.
First of all, let's talk about the bad news, that is, now the score between the two sides is 1:1, the Clippers originally ranked fourth with home court advantage, but now the Mavericks have won one game on the road, which is equivalent to snatching back a home court, if the Mavericks really play a life-and-death battle at home in the future, it must be a situation that the Mavericks don't want to see. Secondly, let's look at the first good news, that is, through this game, the Clippers forced the strongest Maverick, and both players and coaches have also seen what the Mavericks' strongest model looks like, which provides a lot of reference materials for the later preparations, after all, the series has only played two games.
Finally, there is the second good news, which is about small cards. Some people say that the Clippers should not come back this time, and this is based on the results, and if the Clippers win today, there will be no such remarks. But then again, as long as Xiaoka's body recovers, he will have to make a comeback sooner or later, it's just a matter of time. Therefore, the Clippers must usher in a turbulent period of personnel running-in, after all, Xiaoka has not played for more than 20 days, and he needs to be given time to recover from the state, so from the perspective of Xiaoka's state recovery, it is also a good thing to make a comeback early, and get through the turbulent period early, and you can also usher in the God of War card as soon as possible!
