Wow! Did you watch last night's Clippers vs. Mavericks? It was a great matchup! Even without a major player like Kawhi Leonard, the Clippers defeated the Mavericks 109-97 and won the playoffs!
However, we are not talking about the big stars today, but about the ordinary but extraordinary substitutes, especially our backup centre-forward, Mason Plumlee!
On the offensive end, though, Plumlee's performance was a little disappointing, after all, his shooting percentage was a bit low, and he missed some good scoring opportunities. But don't worry, he's not the only one!
On the defensive end, he's a solid barrier! Averaging 5.1 rebounds per game, he's a rebounding monster! And his defensive performance is also quite good, and he doesn't cause too much trouble for opponents. You see, this is the real stable output! In this game, his plus/minus is still +4, which is simply the stabilizer of the game!
Of course, in the regular season, Plumlee's performance may not be so impressive, after all, he only averages 5.3 points per game, and his impact on the game is relatively limited. However, in this playoff game, he radiated light and brought a lot of help to the team!
Just like the "O'Neal" in the short man, although he is not tall, his influence should not be underestimated! In the playoffs, every player can play his own value, which is simply the team's greatest wealth!
So, even if he performs average in the regular season, he is still the fighter who does his best for the team on the playoff stage! As we often say, the playoffs are a different kind of battlefield, and every minute and every second is full of fierce competition!
For the Clippers, Plumlee's performance has undoubtedly given them a shot in the arm and added a lot of confidence! I hope that in the next games, he can continue to maintain this form and win more wins for the team!
So, let's applaud this substitute center, this fighter who stepped up at a critical moment! They may not be the stars of the team, but their dedication and efforts are equally worthy of our respect and praise!
