It was just an ordinary regular season, but the Nets and Clippers forced it into a finals.
As Irving made 2 free throws in the final moments of the game, the point difference was opened to 4 points, and the game finally defeated the Clippers 124:120, completing an extremely difficult reversal.
Yes, it is a reversal.
In the first quarter of this game, the Clippers and the Nets are in two completely different states-the Clippers are very good offensive and defensive, very smooth, the Nets frequently hit iron, stumbling, and the first quarter is over. Leonard made 4 shots and 4 free throws. He scored 12 points, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. The Clippers also led 32:24.
In the second quarter, the Nets gained momentum, and the Big Three began frantically, but the Clippers still took the lead and entered the second half. In the third quarter, the Nets once overtook, but the Clippers still suppressed it with a strong lineup nets.
In the critical fourth quarter, the Clippers side Leonard and George twin stars shine, but Owen Harden Durant has resisted the pressure and responded. In the end, with the excellent performance of the Big Three, the nets grasped the victory to their hands firmly.
This hard-won, extraordinary victory.
In fact, before this game, not many people were optimistic about the nets.
Before the battle, the Nets had top offensive efficiency, but their defensive efficiency was ridiculously poor. After getting Harden, the Nets’ offensive efficiency stepped on a new level. They became the most terrifying team in the league with outside offensive capabilities.
As of the beginning of this game, the Nets’ offensive efficiency reached the league’s best 122.6, but on the contrary, the Nets’ defensive efficiency was very poor at 119.9, the worst in the league.
The biggest problem for the Nets now is that they don’t have any defensive ability enough to deal with the situation on the court. Jordan’s current defense is simply not enough to make up for their disadvantages. This is also the reason why fans are worried about the Nets. From ancient times to the present, there has never been a team from the bottom defensive to win a championship.
On February 1, in a game before the Clippers, the Nets were stabbed by the league’s worst-record Wizards due to poor defense. With an 18-point advantage, they were beaten at the end of the quarter. Bill and Westbrook combined their swords and reversed and suffered a fiasco.
And their opponents?
The Clippers have the first record in the Western Conference, with an offensive efficiency of 117.1. Although they are not as good as the Nets, they are also the first in the league. Their defensive efficiency is 101.9, which is also the league’s top.
The Clippers are excellent offensive and defensive, and the lineup is much better than the Nets in terms of reasonableness and thickness. Ibaka’s existence gives them an absolute advantage in the interior, and Morris is also large enough. Under Tylenlue’s training, the Clippers this season have become a shooting team, selflessly passing the ball on the offensive end, full of firepower, and even more terrifying on the defensive end. They have enough for both the backcourt and the flanks. Reserve, they still have Leonard’s defensive bug.
But it turns out that the nets’ gun is much stronger than the Clippers’ shield.
Oh, I’m sorry, I was wrong. It’s not a one-bar gun, it’s a full three top pear spears.
In the first quarter of this game, the Clippers put out a zone defense-this is the defensive lineup they have always used before, with Leonard’s defensive gate as an arrow, limiting many stars.
But for the Nets, zone defense is a delivery for them, because they have three break zone defenses. Throughout the game, Durant scored 28 points and made 11 of 13 shots; Irving scored 39 points and made 15 of 23 shots, Harden had 23 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists. He had another triple-double and made 7 of 15 shots.
In this game, the division of labor between the three brothers is very clear: Harden is the main control, is the engine of the team, controls the rhythm of the team, and also used tonnage and size on the defensive end to make many contributions; Irving is the main attacker, as an offensive player, except for offense. Concerned about other things, this completely released Irving. In this game, he scored countless wonderful layups. It is estimated that this will be a high-light ball that an ordinary player can never play in his life; Durant is a shortstop , Checking for leaks and filling vacancies, is the mainstay, using terror offensive efficiency to help the Nets stabilize the situation.
Then, the nets won.
The Clippers were really fierce at the beginning. Leonard was very smart, colandering Owen and Harris to attack. He also had a perfect start, but after the Nets gave him a double double team. He gradually became invisible, and in the third quarter, Irving also successfully defended a few Leonard’s balls, which made the Nets morale soar.
The Nets’ ball this season is very interesting. Whether it is with the Wizards or the Clippers, they can play to the end. It seems that a 50-50 is their mark-and if you want to win, you must have a star at the last moment. In the final moment of the game, Irving took the lead. Because he didn’t need to be too hard on passing and defending, his offensive momentum in this game was very strong, with a drifting three-pointer and a dance-like breakthrough. The backhand blew the offensive horn, Kajiao was indeed very powerful and did not pull his hips at all, but 3 stars are always more than 2 stars-Durant hit the only three-pointer in the game, and death flashed In the end, the Clippers aircraft carrier was abruptly sank by the Nets.
Many people would think that the biggest contributor to the nets’ victory is Irving, but in fact, the Nets can win, the biggest credit is Harden-in the fourth quarter of the nets’ rise, Harden led the bench lineup, the effect was remarkable, showing A single man rushed into the formation and caused a series of killings, and he also used a sudden point to activate Joe Harris.
Throughout the game, Harden didn’t score many points, but he played a lot. He put more energy into connecting the team and the defensive end. All the offensive opportunities were given to Irving, which helped Irving feel better.
In the crucial fourth quarter, Harden topped the post. Facing the huge meat shield Zubats, Harden succeeded in defensive again and again. He also selflessly pick and roll on the offensive end, connecting the teams, and finally fulfilling Irving’s gorgeous performance and winning victory.
If this game can only choose one MVP, then I vote for Harden definitely.
After coming to the nets, Harden’s changes are visible to the naked eye. His attitude completely changed and he became a selfless defensive expert. This is his attitude-he wants to win the championship, he will be very serious.
To get such a Harden, the Nets are really enviable.
Oh, by the way, according to the news just announced yesterday, Harden got the best of the week. This is the first time he won the best of the week in the Eastern Conference, and he won the best of the week among the Big Three. This is just the beginning.
Of course Irving has to boast. Such a gorgeous offensive performance is really unprecedented. If he can put all his enthusiasm for politics on the court, then…
Durant is now half-reclusive behind the scenes, delegating power to the two younger brothers, he is also considered half-healing, after all, like the last time, double overtime for 50 minutes, even the uninjured players can’t bear it. Rand will show his final fangs.
The nets used this victory to give the world a proof: the Big Three are compatible, and the combination of the three offensive super giants can win the game, even if it is not reinforced, the Nets are also a powerful force in the East.
Of course, reinforcements still have to be reinforced, and they have to make it to the finals!
