G3 Xiaoka may not be able to play again, his damn knee injury......
The Los Angeles Clippers vs. Dallas Mavericks first-round series is now 1-1, and the two sides are back on the same page! In order to win the G2 game, Mavericks coach Jason Kidd turned into Jason Thibodeau, and he only gave Doncic 2 minutes and 16 seconds of rest in the game. With Doncic playing almost the whole game, the Mavericks were able to fight for a G2 victory on the road!
In every game that must be played in the playoffs, it can be said that every offense, every defense, every rebound, and every detail are crucial! Therefore, when Leonard missed G1 due to a knee injury, G2 insisted on returning to the firing line. Although the team and the medical team hoped that he would only come back after G3, Xiaoka finally insisted on announcing his comeback, because he wanted to help the team take a 2-0 lead as much as possible! G2 Xiaoka played 34 minutes and 55 seconds, shooting 7 of 17, 0 of 5 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, and only got 15 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals and 1 block, plus or minus -8.
Obviously, the small card who has returned to the Clippers is not in good shape, and what is especially bad is that even his return to the Squad has not helped the Clippers to maintain the G2 victory. The Mavericks tied the score at 1-1, which means that the Clippers lose home-court advantage, and they have changed from active to passive, which is obviously very detrimental to the Clippers to advance to the second round! Otherwise, the Clippers will probably have to settle in the first round of this year's playoffs.
As everyone knows, the loss of G2 victory is actually just the beginning of the Clippers' bad luck! Because G2 hastily came back to the small card, I am afraid that G3 will not be able to play again! The reason for the absence is very simple, it is still a cliché, and the damn knee injury of the little card has been committed again! The Clippers officially updated the team's injury report today, and forward Kawaii Leonard was listed as doubtful for playing due to inflammation of his right knee.
If the small card G3 really can't play, then the blow to the Clippers is undoubtedly worse! The big score was equalized to 1-1, and the star who finally came back is now suddenly absent from the key game, which simply can't be worse! G3 is very important for both sides, and whoever can take the lead will almost grab half of the promotion ticket. But Kah's unassuming knee has another moth on this knee, and there is a high probability that he will be knocked down again. Hey, Los Angeles Clippers, it's hard, it's hard!
