Black list
Leonard
Although Leonard was injured today and did not play, Leonard was embarrassed. One is that since joining the Clippers, he was injured as soon as he arrived in the playoffs, and this team has a "curse", and Leonard is on par with Paul and Griffin, glass attributes. Second, so far in the playoffs this season, Leonard has played games, the Clippers are 0-2, and vice versa is 2-0. The third is that he was not in good shape, scoring 24 points on 11-of-24 shooting in the two games he played, and was chased and targeted by opponents on the defensive end due to injuries.
Bill
In the G4 elimination game, Bill's performance can be called a "crime". With an annual salary of $46.74 million, he ranked fifth in the league, but he only scored 9 points on 4-of-13 shooting. And the crucial fourth quarter had to make fans suspect that Beal was an "undercover agent", dragging down the team, making consecutive mistakes and leaving the game, sending 5 turnovers in a single quarter, 6 times in the whole game. Such a dismal performance, the Suns fans are heartbroken, Booker is heartbroken, is this a strong assistant that he let the team trade Paul in exchange? And the Suns were finally swept out by the Timberwolves, the first team to be eliminated this season, and the first team to be swept.
Embiid
G3, Embiid staged controversial fouls one after another, fell to the ground and pulled people, kicked the crotch, deliberately rushed others, escaped the referee's punishment, scored 50 points, and led the team to pull back a city. But Embiid made 21 free throws alone, two more than the opposing team, how do you let the Knicks play?
G4, the referee is not used to you, and everything that should be returned is returned (G2 referee report). Embiid exposed his shortcomings of relying on referees and free throws. In the second quarter, he shot 0-of-2 and did not score in the field and relied on free throws to score 4 points. He made 7 of 8 free throws in the third quarter. In the final quarter, he shot 0-of-5 and scored 1 point on only 2 free throws, and was invisible again in the final quarter (0/5, 2/6) after G1G2. In the third game, Embiid shot 2 of 16 in the fourth quarter, shooting 12.5%.
Doncic
Compared to the previous two seasons when he met the Clippers in the playoffs, Doncic had some crotch pulls in the playoffs this season. G3, crazy and unreasonable shots, hit iron one after another, and made 7 of 25 in the game. If it weren't for Irving's strong performance of 19 points in the second half (21 points in the game), plus the Clippers gave opportunities, George scored 7 points, Leonard scored 9 points, and Wei Shao was ejected, the Mavericks would not have won at all.
G4, Doncic still played unwisely, shooting 10 of 24, including 1 of 9 three-pointers. And knowing that Owen was the god of the second half, he should have dribbled through the half court and passed the ball to Owen decisively and let the latter end the game. However, Doncic had no food in his hands, and he panicked. The offense dragged Irving back, and the defense was not strong.
Red List
Brunson
The No. 1 guard in the East deserves his name!
G3 scored 39 points and 13 assists!
G4 exploded with 47 points and 10 assists, helping the Knicks win the game point 3-1 Philadelphia 76ers, and at the same time set a new personal playoff scoring high.
The 3rd pick in the second round in 2018, but now he has played a top performance, which was seriously underestimated before!
Harden
The Big Three of the Clippers, who would have thought that the most stable performance would be the most worrying Harden for fans!
So far in the series, he has scored 20+ points in the fourth consecutive game, averaging 26.0 points per game, a new high in the past five seasons.
Especially in the fourth quarter of G4, Harden returned as the king, when the team's score was tied, Harden first scored 6 points in a row to stabilize the situation, and then threw 2+1, hit both free throws, killing the game, scoring 15 points in the final quarter, 33 points in the game, and helping the Clippers tie the score 2-2!
Edwards
This young man has the courage and the measure!
Edwards did what he said and eliminated the Suns in the playoffs! Especially when there were 2 minutes and 14 seconds left in the fourth quarter of the game, he broke through the barrier Durant with the ball, shocking the four, making Durant very helpless, this young man does not talk about martial arts!
In the fourth game of the series, Edwards broke out strongly in the second half, scoring 31 points, 9 points in the first half, and 40 points in the whole game, leading the team to sweep the Suns 4-0, becoming the first team to sweep and the first team to advance to the second round.
