The Los Angeles Clippers vs. the Dallas Mavericks' G3 made many fans desperate. Throughout the game, the Clippers could see Harden, Zubac and Powell, and it was not a shame to lose while standing, but it was a collapse to lose on knees.
Xiaoka's side, when the knee inflammation was not complete, still chose to play. Tyronn Lue didn't let him play for too long, and in 24 minutes and 32 seconds, Xiaoka contributed 4 turnovers, so it was better not to play!
General George, who also got into foul trouble early, received 5 fouls after only 30 minutes, and his playing time was chopped to pieces. Wei Shao made even more mistakes, fouling Doncic on a large scale, but acting like a child as a senior. Unable to count on it, Tyronn Lue could only reuse Harden and played 43 minutes, which was just a matter of exhaustion.
Kidd's side was very dead in the game, and G1 lost to Doncic's defense. G3 began to increase the intensity like crazy, Doncic changed his attitude, and Gafford and Lively held up the inside line. Washington and Josh Green defended the wings, and finally the Mavericks made a group of forwards and played the same effect as the Clippers used to be.
Gafford had 2 steals and 3 blocks, Lively had 13 points and 2 blocks, Washington had 3 steals and 1 block, Jones had 1 block, Josh Green had 1 steal, Doncic had 10 rebounds and 2 steals. On the defensive end, the Mavericks are more focused.
On Tyronn Lue's side, he chose to pinch Doncic, and it paid off. Doncic scored 30+ points in G1 and G2, but only 22 points were scored in this game. However, the Eastern European combination handed out 15 assists, the whole team of five scored injuries, and the eight rotations all performed well, and Tyronn Lue hit such a pinch, and the Mavericks were more like a whole.
On Kidd's side, after facing the pick-and-roll switch, neither Gafford nor Lively chose to grab the cover, but let Harden do a 1-on-1. Hit in, the lone ranger recognized it. I'd rather let Harden be beautiful alone than let the Clippers bloom, that's Kidd's strategy.
Tyronn Lue released a few single defenses against Doncic, but the effect was actually not bad. Blocked Doncic's three offensive rounds in a row, one single, one for a walking violation, and one for a forcing error. But it was still too tendon, and after eating a malicious foul, he lost people and lost the game because of a small loss.
What the Mavericks really started to pull away was the cooperation of Doncic and Lively. Doncic's offensive threat is too great to mobilize the Clippers' defense, attract pinch shots and share the ball. Jones and Josh Green were already ready to play in the bottom corner, plus Lively was a threat on the inside. The Mavericks changed their mindset and scored mostly inside, including 10 dunks in the first half, and the inside score was also 32-14.
In the final analysis, it has to be Xiaoka who has to carry this pot.
In the absence of small cards, the Clippers won very thoroughly. But G2 and G3 returned, and the Clippers lost in a row. Playing 24 minutes affected the team's inherent rotation and could not provide substantial help to the team. Even becoming a breakthrough on the court, Harden also has bitter words. I thought I was here to assist you, but I ended up playing the thigh of the team.
The Mavericks' side is getting better, and the whole team is fighting hard to defend and increase intensity. They don't want to fold in the hands of the Clippers for the third time, the Eastern European combination is a point, the pinching is a multi-point account, and the non-pinching is their own beauty, and the Clippers can't match the offensive and defensive energy, I'm afraid they will lose.
