The real pit of the city of Air Connection! I was confused at the critical moment, who would collapse if you didn’t collapse?

The prolonged seven-game four-win system in the NBA playoffs is a harsh test of players' perseverance. No matter in any round of games, the ability of both sides to play to the battle between tiebreak and Tianwang Mountain means that there is not much difference in strength between the two sides. What they are fighting for is who has better psychological quality and who can be more calm. In the last life-and-death battle between the Clippers and the Nuggets, the Clippers are obviously the more heroic and short-sighted one.

In the first round of the playoffs, when the score difference was only about 5 points in the middle of the second quarter, the Nuggets suddenly exerted their strength, but the Clippers were at a loss. When they were 11 points behind in the half, they suddenly collapsed in the third quarter and were hit by the Nuggets with a 24-4 super attack wave. The score difference instantly reached 30 points, and they lost hope of continuing to move forward, and finally got out at 101-120.

In this scoring wave, in addition to the despicable hit rate of Nuggets pitchers Murray, Porter Jr., and others, the huge and low-level continuous mistakes of the Clippers players are even more bizarre, even if Tyron Lu keeps calling timeouts to try to stabilize the emotions of the disciples, it will be useless.

Either the dribble himself onto the leg, the pass was intercepted, or the player was in a daze during the ball holding process and was slapped by the opponent if he was not careful. Shortly after the final quarter, the Clippers made 14 mistakes.

Although the tiebreak battle in the history of the Clippers is by no means useless, such a declining performance is hard not to remind people of the team's several unbearable defeats in the history of the team, such as the time when Harden reversed the Clippers 4-3 when he was still with the Rockets. But now Hu Zideng, who is already a Clippers player, is destined to feel uncomfortable.

In fact, in terms of performance, the performance of the Nuggets players is not very outrageous. Gordon, who has the highest score in the team, only scored 22 points, but the Nuggets is just the key to the people's hearts. The six players in the team scored in double digits, and the score was quite average, all of which were around 15 to 20 points, and there was no performance of ups and downs throughout the game.

In contrast, the Clippers only shot 52.2% of the field goal percentage and 37.9% of the three-point shooting percentage, but they were beaten so hard that they couldn't find one. They could only say that their performance was too sluggish and too bad. After all, the opponent was just performing normally, but the Clippers lost the enthusiasm and courage to compete for the championship at the beginning of the playoffs.

This also reminds the Warriors and the Rockets who are still competing for the first round promotion ticket. Those who can laugh to the end may not be too outrageous or passionate, but they must have performed stably and normally enough. I believe that the Warriors who have seen their opponents come back from the gate of hell must have felt that it was his continuous low-level mistakes at critical moments that gave the Rockets a chance to counterattack. It depends on whether similar dramas will be repeated in the only remaining G7 battle in the first round.
