He could have pressed until G3 and then made a comeback, but he took the initiative to ask Ying to come back early, although he knew that he would be under great pressure if he came back and lost, he still chose to face the wind and waves. No surprise, the first game of the comeback had a mediocre effect, shooting 0 of 5 three-pointers, and only scored 15 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists.
Obviously, Xiaoka has to come back early and late, and his comeback will affect the team's chemistry to a certain extent. Even if G2 loses the comeback, it is only 1-1, not 0-2, and the Clippers need to let Xiaoka get back to the feeling of the game, and come back in the next game.
Despite the inefficient offensive performance of his first comeback, on the defensive end, the card was still on the line, contributing four steals in this retro hand-to-hand fight.
You must know that this is the first time that Xiaoka has played the playoffs in front of the Clippers' home fans, and he has just returned from a month's absence, and he has played directly without participating in team training, and it is clear that he has done his best on the court.
Perhaps after this competition, Xiaoka will adapt to the intensity of confrontation in the playoffs, and it will definitely help the next G3 games.
The small card played for 34 minutes, which sent a positive signal, and I believe that the Clippers, who are fully healthy, have a chance to cross the Mavericks!
