Later, Tyron Lu joined the Clippers, a team with two stars, Leonard and George. Everyone knew it tacitly and wanted to see how Tyron Lu made a fool of himself.

Tyron-Lu What impressed me the most was the "genius" tactic of "James let go" when coaching the Cavaliers. It gives people the feeling that: hold a good hand of cards, "I can do it too."

Later, Tyron Lu went to Clippers , a team with two stars: Leonard and George . Everyone was tacitly aware of it and wanted to see how Tyron Lu made a fool of himself.

Playoffs in the first two rounds, the Clippers were both behind 0-2, and the doubts from the outside pushed Tyron Lu to the forefront, but Coach Lu used two reversals to create the history of NBA. Now, in the desperate situation of falling behind Suns with a total score of 1-3, the Clippers successfully won a game back, and Tyron Lu's "reversal drama" is sprouting...

Tyron Lu

G5 in the West Finals, Zubac 's knee injury made Tyron Lu give up his "big lineup" style and instead play Morris Jr. as the starting "small lineup". In this lineup, coupled with Tyron Lu's joint defense tactics, the Clippers swept away the haze of slow start. Morris Jr. transformed into the "Little Prince of Centre-Ball" and made 6 consecutive mid-range shots. Reggie Jackson and George frequently succeeded in rapid counterattacks and breakthroughs. The Clippers quickly took the initiative away, and the prototype of "three armies to use their lives" began to appear.

But the Suns are not vegetarian either. Because the Clippers use joint defense, Beverly failed to defend Booker alone, which liberated Booker, and the 31 points scored throughout the game also well confirmed this. His performance in the outside line in the first two quarters, coupled with the help of Payne and Johnson, the Suns quickly approached the score difference to single digits.

Buck's defense became a loophole

The second half also became a situation where George and Booker scored against each other. The decisive moment of the game occurred 9 minutes later in the last quarter. In the following round, Booker did not score by 1 point, but George's continuous mistakes allowed the Suns to catch the difference to 2 points again. At this time, Reggie Jackson stood up again and scored 8 points in a row, which not only stabilized the morale of the army, but also allowed the Clippers boss to take a "peace of mind". Reggie's performance in also "wakes up" George and ends the suspense with a shot.

I have to say that in this playoffs, Reggie Jackson used 3-point shooting many times to stabilize the situation with 3-point shooting, and you may also remember that he is a player with a basic salary of 2.33 million yuan.

Reggie Jackson 3 points

In addition to Reggie Jackson, Morris Jr.'s 22 points, and Cousins ​​(15 points), who set a new high in his playoff career, are all shining in this "life and death" G5.

After this game, George's record in this game will be written into the history of the NBA playoffs:

41 points in a single game and scored 40+; 15 of 20 shots, shooting percentage 75.0%; 3 of 6 three-pointers, shooting percentage 50%; 8 of 8 free throws, shooting percentage 100%; such data is unique in history!

George became the fourth player after Chamberlain , Ewing, and James, and was eliminated in a game where he was at least 40 points, 10 rebounds and a shooting percentage of at least 70%.

1 points set a new high in George's playoff career. This game will also become a classic battle in George's entire career. Is George still a "super giant" with his performance in ?

George: Super giant?

Ayton played very uncomfortable in this game. After pick-and-roll with Booker and Paul , he did not get an offensive opportunity. He only made 9 shots in the game and scored 10 points. Many times, Ayton is seen spinning around the paint area under the Clippers' basket, unable to find the opportunity to catch the ball, and most of the time is facing the situation where the Clippers 2 to 4 people grab rebounds.

Ayton's offense is limited, which tests Paul and Booker's shooting. Paul made 8 of 19, with a shooting percentage of 42.1%; Booker made 9 of 22, with a shooting percentage of 40.9%, which is reasonable in general, but compared with George, Morris Jr. (9 of 16), and Reggie (8 of 14), it is a bit unprofitable.

Paul

Beverly re-examined a fierce foul:

Because the Clippers adopted joint defense, Beverly did not "bite" Booker one-on-one for most of this game. And in G2, Beverly used fierce defense to make Booker wear a mask.

In this game, Beverly experienced another fierce defensive foul:

Just halfway through the third quarter, Paul used Ayton's single block to directly pull up and shoot 3 points. When Beverly snatched Ayton from Ayton, his legs swept directly to Paul's calves, causing Paul to lose his center of gravity in the air, his body "lying" and falling heavily on the floor, and there was also a "bounce".

After the referee watched the video, sentenced Beverly to "first-degree malicious foul".

Beverly swept Paul

I was sweating for "old bailer". Such a body cannot withstand such a foul! But after lying on the floor and feeling uncomfortable for a while, Paul was "safe and safe".

From the slow-motion replay, when Paul landed, part of the center of gravity of his body was pressed on Beverly's left ankle, which also reduced Paul's damage to landing to a certain extent, which was indeed a blessing.

Paul landed

The Clippers, who were forced into a desperate situation, have won a valuable opportunity for themselves to continue to stay on the playoff stage, and Tyron Lu also used games to "clear the name" for themselves.

The Suns may be ready for the celebration of winning the Western Conference championship at home, but unfortunately it is not in G5. The historical moment when Paul entered the finals for the first time in his career is so close and so far...
