If you want to defeat the "Universe Brave" - or even reverse the "Hell Brave", it is impossible to rely on just one little person. In fact, the Clippers put almost all their efforts, from superstars to Green Leafs 100% Burning, and finally overcame a desperate disadvantage of up to 31 points in just 20 minutes. They scored a fatal 41:23 in the fourth quarter, ranking first in the league. Oracle Stadium, the most difficult to conquer, defeated Goliath and completed a crazy reversal that will definitely be recorded in the history of the team!
Danilo Gallinari finally returned to his level, posting 24-4-6-2, and made great achievements both inside and outside during the chase; however, everyone knows that it was Lou Williams who really saved Titanic. In the fourth quarter, he singled out Warriors Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry. At the end of the game, his crazy fadeaway parallel to the ground, tireless cutting, and heartless emergency stop shot were all impressive (36 points, 11 assists); However, in addition to him, best partner Montrezl Harrell, defensive hero Patrick Beverley, rookie shooter Landry Shamet and other low-key green leaves have all made contributions!
After the first game, he said that he could "stop a hundred with one." Patrick Beverley once again showed his "mad dog" spirit in the second game, pestering Kevin Durant all the time, and scored 10 points and 5 assists. Although in the end The sixth fouler left the game early, but the energy he brought to the Clippers was definitely the key to igniting the counterattack!
Montrezl Harrell, who has been playing a bench killer this season, is the Clippers' inside savior today. His destructive power in the penalty area after his decline fully supported the slim chance of an attack in the fourth quarter. He made 9 of 9 shots from the field and scored 25 points and 10 rebounds with a shooting percentage of 1001 TP3T. He scored 15 points in the fourth quarter. More important than scoring was that during the fast break in the final quarter, he successfully caused an offensive foul on Kevin Durant, dousing the situation. The Warriors' ambition to open up the score.
In addition, JaMychal Green and Landry Shamet, who were traded in mid-season, also made great achievements. The former tried his best to hold on to the score in the desperate abyss of the third quarter, bringing the score within 20 points; the latter hit that priceless three-pointer at the most critical time in his career! (133:131) You must know that the last time the Clippers led in this game was 12:11, which was more than 100 points ago. The value of this hit is not only to tie the series, but we may also witness the next JJ Redick’s success. Birth!
The Clippers tied the game at Oracle Arena. Perhaps the real MVP of a single game is Doc Rivers, the head coach who knows people well and can use the little guys in the team as clutch guys. He proved to the league as the eighth seed that he is "cosmic brave" It's not that it's unbeatable, and it's not just the Rockets that can beat it. With DeMarcus Cousins injured again, the future of the Warriors has become more uncertain. Can the Clippers continue to surprise and even create miracles? Don’t be too hasty to say it’s impossible yet…
