On April 27, the NBA playoffs continue, and tomorrow the Clippers will face the Mavericks G4 game on the road. Previously, the score between the two sides was 1:2. After winning a win on the road, the Mavericks returned to their home court to make timely adjustments, taking advantage of the poor run-in problem of the small card returning to the Clippers to get two wins in a row. The next G4 game is undoubtedly very important for the Clippers, second only to the battle of life and death. If they can't make adjustments to win, then the Clippers will fall behind the Mavericks 1:3, and the difficulty of reversing can be imagined. So in the next game, will the Clippers make adjustments and return to the kind of lineup that they had when they were in G1?
After yesterday's game, Tyronn Lue said in an interview that although the small card performance in this game was relatively average, he would continue to play in the G4 game. Today, Tyronn Lue repeated his old trick in an interview with reporters, and continued to release a smoke bomb, and he explained that Xiaoka's status tomorrow is doubtful, and there is a 50% chance of playing. In the first three games, Xiaoka has always been in this state of doubtful play, the reason for this arrangement, on the one hand, it is true that Xiaoka's knee has not fully recovered, on the other hand, it is also to increase the difficulty of preparation for the opponent, but now Xiaoka's doubtful situation seems to have affected the Clippers themselves.
Yesterday, Xiaoka was also doubtful before the game, and then he was able to play, but he was in bad shape, the attack was hesitant, and the defense was also frantically named. Xiaoka took the initiative in an interview yesterday, he wanted to play in G4, he wanted to help the team, it was really frustrating to have an injury at this stage, but it takes time to find the rhythm of the game, and I am happy to be able to play, so I will be very happy. In addition, Xiaoka's Chinese agent "barbecue sister" Lu Yinqing also exposed the truth of Xiaoka's downturn, he said that Xiaoka's G2 comeback led to the deterioration of the injury, so G3's knee was not strong, and his speed was weakened, and G4 would continue to limit his playing time.
Judging from the current situation, the Clippers and Tyronn Lue are facing a dilemma again. Xiaoka wants to play to help the team, and this eagerness to fight can be understood. If the small card G4 can return to its state and the Big Three regain their tacit understanding and win, this is the best and most ideal situation. However, if G4 still can't recover and Xiaoka can't play at full strength, it may not be as effective on the field as substitute Kofei, and it will increase the risk of his injury continuing to worsen, and it will be even more impossible to achieve this season's goal. This is also a headache for the Clippers, there is no need to have regrets, and there is no way to guarantee the state of use, do you think G4 should use him?
