The Clippers lost in their own hands? The three key data are suppressed, and the remaining opponents are worth winning.

In the highly anticipated first round tiebreak battle, the Clippers fell out again, and they were beaten by the Nuggets in three quarters, and eventually suffered a crushing defeat and were eliminated. The Clippers have been in the first round of the playoffs for the past three years. This offseason, the Clippers' lineup is likely to change, but Ballmer spent a lot of money but was just a waste of money.

Looking back at the key tiebreak duel, in addition to James Harden falling out of the chain, the Clippers also lost in their own hands, especially the three key data were suppressed. In terms of rebounding, the Clippers have 10 fewer than the Nuggets, which is also an old problem. Although Clippers center Ivica Zubac scored 10 points and 14 rebounds and double-double data, his teammates around him have some paddling, and no other players have more than 5 rebounds.

The second data is on the outside shooting. The Clippers made 8 of 27 shots from outside the three-point line, and the basket was going to be stumbled, and the shooting percentage was less than 30%. It would definitely be too difficult to win. There is only Kawhi Leonard, who hit 2 three-pointers in this game. You should know that this is the Clippers' offensive arrow. You point at Kawhi Leonard as a pitcher and hit the most three-pointers in the team, which is a problem in itself. In the Clippers' rotation lineup, except center Ivica Zubac, they can make three-pointers, but no one is particularly accurate. This is fully utilized by the Nuggets, and the Clippers' pitchers were unable to withstand at critical moments.

In the end, most of the time, we talk about bench scores, but in this game, both sides, whether the total score or only counts as the main rotation, are actually almost in a state of uniformity. However, looking at the total score of the main players, the Clippers were completely beaten by the Nuggets. In this game, the team scored a total of 60 points. The Nuggets formed a sharp contrast. The five starting points all reached double digits, and the combined scored 90 points. The gap between the two sides is basically reflected here. Especially in addition to James Harden, another main player of the Clippers, Norman Powell, also cut off power. He scored 9 points on the contrary, and made 3 mistakes and fouls.

Compared with the Clippers, the Nuggets are like a remnant opponent, but they are more worthy of this series victory. You should know that the three Nuggets' generals, Michael Porter, Aaron Gordon and Russell Westbrook, all suffered injuries during this round of series, but the Nuggets withstood the pressure and finally laughed to the end of the tiebreak. Perhaps the difference in mental outlook in this critical battle is also why the Nuggets team won the championship, but the Clippers are paper tigers and often play in the first round.
