When Curiga made a free throw, he scored his 30th point of the game.
After the start of the season, he scored 30 points in two consecutive games. It seems that his desire to win MVP is not just a casual talk.
On the Warriors' side, Thompson missed his fourth three-point shot, and Bogut grabbed the offensive rebound and tried to make a tip-in.
As a result, the ball in his hand was cut off by Leonard...Leonard's third steal today.
Leonard's performance tonight was a carbon copy of Scottie Pippen.
When the Bulls were able to become the first team in NBA history to win the championship without a super insider, and also established a dynasty, Jordan's strength was on the one hand, and Pippen's ability to help defend, block shots, steals, and top defense in the paint was definitely Indispensable contribution.
He appears to be a small forward, but his interior defensive ability is actually stronger than that of an average power forward.
Strong in consciousness, strong in speed, strong in excellent physical fitness.
Leonard, who succeeded in stealing the ball, did not pass the ball to Curry or Harden.
Instead, he dribbled the ball by himself, moving from the backcourt to the frontcourt, going straight to the basket, piercing the direction where the Warriors had no time to retreat, and dunking directly with one hand in the middle!
This kind of ball did not exist in the first two seasons, because Leonard was not confident in his one-stop dribbling, and he would definitely distribute the ball to his teammates.
This kid must have been practicing hard during the summer.
The Clippers reopened the point difference to 17 points. At this time, with less than 5 minutes left before the end of the game, the Warriors' chances became increasingly slim.
After Lillard and Thompson missed consecutive three-pointers, the Clippers no longer fought to the death, and both sides gradually entered garbage time.
In the end, the Clippers easily defeated the Warriors at home with a 115:101, 14-point advantage.
The Warriors scored a total of 14 points in the fourth quarter, of which Thompson scored 9 points with three-pointers.
If the Clippers hadn't stopped playing serious defense during the last garbage time, the Warriors might not even have scored 100 points.
The Clippers' combination of rhythm changes and a small lineup defeated the confident Mark Jackson and the Warriors.
In fact, the Warriors performed quite well tonight. Their three-point shooting percentage, tactical execution, and player status were all very good.
As for Thompson's three-point performance in the fourth quarter, another team might not be able to sustain it. This point will be opened, and then the Warriors will be like a wolf pack, tearing apart their opponents with sharp shooting.
Unfortunately, the Clippers are a group of tigers. After experiencing an unexpected loss in the first game, they all found a good state in this game and used hard power to convince the Warriors to lose.
Not only were the Warriors convinced, Li Liangliang, who was sitting on the bench, was also very convinced. He was worthy of being the defending champion. He was really strong.
What made him regretful was that even if it was garbage time, Li Liang still didn't get a chance to play.
After all, he just joined the team yesterday and hasn't even had a single training session with the team.
Tyronn Lue doesn't even understand what his name is, so he won't give him a chance for the time being.
Curry scored 32 points and was named the best player of the game.
Leonard scored 17 points, 10 rebounds, 3 blocks and 3 steals.
His versatility and versatility on the defensive end were fully demonstrated in this game.
This is only his third NBA season, and the progress is visible to the naked eye.
James Harden, as the sixth man, scored 15 points and sent out a team-high 12 assists.
If Curry is the engine of the team, then Harden is the steering wheel. It is round and unwilling to move, but when it is turned, it can lead the team to change direction.
Although in front of the TV, Don Nelson regretted that Curry and Thompson failed to cooperate and become a pair of super offensive backcourts.
But Harden + Curry are also a wonderful and powerful combination.
The two have conflicts in style, but they get along quite harmoniously in terms of personality.
When the two lead the team separately, they can both develop a set of tactical logic with themselves as the core.
When the two of them were on the scene at the same time, they cooperated seamlessly, making it difficult for their opponents to guard against them.
Perhaps in Don Nelson's view, Curry and Thompson will become a powerful backcourt double shooter when paired with each other.
But in the eyes of Tyronn Lue and Mike Malone, the combination of Curry and Harden is an endlessly changing and colorful universe.
As long as the two of them are there, no matter how the other positions of the Clippers change, there is always no need to worry about the offense. No matter how monotonous the lineup is, they can lead you.
However, in Min Congda's eyes, Curry and Harden are a dangerous pair who have conflicts and want to steal each other's limelight and even the MVP!
After the game, the players washed and dressed in the locker room, drove back to their homes, got off work, and went back to have a good sleep.
After Li Liang packed up his clothes, he came to the parking lot and got into Min Congda's car. Min Congda looked around and asked, "No one is following you, right?"
Li Liang replied: "No, who would follow me? Mr. Min, you are right. I feel that there is indeed a problem in the team's locker room."
Min Congda said: "Of course! No problem. I will sign you specially and give you a guarantee contract?"
Li Liangdao: "Mr. Min, did you really not sign me because of my basketball ability and potential?"
Min Congda responded mercilessly: "Nonsense, if you want to sign based on basketball ability and potential, I might as well sign myself."
Li Liangdao: "Then I'm relieved. If you sign me because of your basketball ability, I will doubt your vision and level of watching football."
Min Congda waved his hand and said: "Stop talking nonsense and tell me what problems the Clippers have in the team now?"
So, Li Liang added some exaggeration to what he heard during the game, sorted it out, and conveyed it to Min Congda.
The more Min Congda listened, the more he frowned and said, "According to what you mean, there are now three small groups formed in the Clippers. One is headed by Curry, one is headed by Leonard, and one is headed by Harden. "
Li Liang nodded and said: "And they all have a group of fans and supporters. You can tell by looking at the game data tonight. The overall performance of the three of them is the best, and they all want to win the MVP. Can you not grab it? Do you want to express yourself?"
Min Congda recalled the scene in the game and said: "Let me tell you, why do I feel that their game tonight is different from before? They seem to be much more independent than before. It seems that everyone has to learn from Kobe. Curry took another Thirty minutes later, Leonard is able to hold the ball on the fast break without passing the ball, and Coach Harden doesn’t stop talking and just arranges his own tactics! Very good, everyone is very capable, they have grown up, and their wings have become stronger. .”
Li Liang said: "This is actually a good thing, right?"
Min Congda said: "What a fart! Do you know that the strongest fortress is often broken from the inside?"
Li Liang agreed with this, but Min Congda seemed to have forgotten that the Clippers' fortress had never been breached from the inside despite the presence of a huge traitor.
"Then...what do you think we should do? Make a deal?"
"What kind of transaction are you doing? Keep a close eye on me and report to me any situation at any time!"
