Vol 3 Chapter 461: General

After two home games, the Thunder got up and headed to Los Angeles.
For this city, the Clippers can only be said to be a surprise. In the past season, they have been pinning their hopes on another team. It's a pity that James was hurt and their hopes fell through.
It turns out that the Lakers are still the Lakers and James is the same.
However, the Clippers this season is really surprising. It can be regarded as preventing Los Angeles from having no games to watch. Of course, for Lakers fans, it's not so happy. As the big brother, it is already uncomfortable to get out of the game early, but as a result, his own little brother played vigorously.
Although they lost two games in a row in Oklahoma, Rivers and his Clippers were not depressed. Judging from the past two games, they are not without resistance. They can even win the next game away.
"The next game will return to Los Angeles, at Staples, we will change the current situation."
You know, in the league, home court advantage has a lot of influence on the game! Especially in the playoffs. The away team will face a harsher environment than the regular season. This is not just given by the audience. Some factors on the field have a greater interference effect on the game.
"This is a great game. We tried our best to score and defend hard in the game. But the results were disappointing. It's a pity! At the end of the game, our defense was very good and we created a win. The opportunity to play. But it didn’t make us frustrated. For us, this series has just begun. Next, we will play even better."
When Beverly confronted reporters behind the game, he was very motivated. Whether on or off the court, he is the strongest person in this Clippers.
"They are really strong. There are three All-Stars and they won the championship last year. But this is not enough to make us give up this series. No team that can make the playoffs does not want to go further. To go further, we will always encounter stronger and stronger opponents. However, we met the strongest team from the beginning. This is a very difficult challenge, but we will do our best."
Compared to Beverly, Lu Wei was much more reserved. When the reporter mentioned the last goal, he was also full of regret.
"The coach told us in the previous timeout how to deal with the ball in this situation. Their defense is very powerful, we must find the best position to end the attack. In fact, our tactics are good. But. God did not give us good luck!"
"Back at home, everything will be different."
Lu Wei's words are just the same. However, things are not moving in the direction he expected.
On April 18th, Los Angeles Staples.
The third game of the Thunder and Clippers series entered the final quarter. After the first three quarters of the contest, the score on the field came to 97:74. The away team is first and the home team is behind.
Both Westbrook and Beverly have returned to their locker rooms. In an offensive and defensive contest in the second half of the third quarter, the two clashed again. The referees each played 50 rebounds and were ejected together.
In the first two games, there has always been some friction between Paul George and Beverly. This time, Paul George's mentality has been completely adjusted. Facing Beverly's Mad Dog defense, he seemed calm. It is said that Paul George called James after the game to ask how to defuse Beverly's defense. Seeing that Paul George was struggling very much in those two games, James, as a veteran who has played in the league for 15 seasons, gave some pertinent connections. Paul George is noncommittal about this, perhaps it is true. However, his change in this game is the key to the Thunder's easy lead.
The two conflicts between Westbrook and Beverly occurred after the Clippers switched defenses and Beverly wanted to block Westbrook for a layup. His actions are indeed fierce, and he turns his head and face to Westbrook, regardless of whether he can shoot the basketball. Westbrook is not a bummer. To Beverley's behavior that clearly exceeded the normal defensive force, he immediately responded.
Beverly replaced the Thunder star Westbrook, it looks like the Clippers have taken a big advantage, but in fact, they lost a lot! The Thunder also had two outside scorers, Anluo and Paul George, on the court. Without Beverly's defense, they were completely liberated at once. Although Beverley's single defense against Paul George in this game has become smaller, it is still the most important defensive barrier for the Clippers outside. Whether it is Westbrook, Anlow or Paul George, they will be greatly interfered by Beverly when they attack. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
In the last three minutes of the third quarter, the Thunder hit the Clippers with a 12-2 offensive climax, suddenly pulling the point difference to more than 20. This is the biggest difference in the series so far. And judging from the situation in this game, the Clippers want to comeback, it is really difficult.
In the last quarter, Donovan didn't want to give the opponent any chance. He did his best from the beginning. After a few minutes of rest, Anluo and Paul George went into battle again. And Grant, who also finished the third quarter. Although the players are still a bit tired, the effect of the game is obvious. As soon as the Thunder came up, they launched the most beautiful and fierce attack. First, Anlo and Grant made a dunk after the pick and roll, and then Gallinari missed a three-pointer. Paul George grabbed the rebound and went straight to the basket. Subsequently, the Clippers relied on Lou Wei's breakthrough to score the first goal of the quarter. But An Luo made a three-pointer on the left side of the arc and responded immediately.
Five minutes later, with An Luo's backward jumper, the Thunder stretched the point difference to 31 points. This game is basically frozen. Although the Clippers did not give up, Donovan withdrew his main force.
After hugging Paul George, An Luo found an empty seat and sat down. He took the towel from his teammate and wiped the sweat off his face. The intensity of the playoffs is much greater than that of the regular season, and Donovan has increased their playing time, so it is still a bit tired.
In the end, the Thunder won a 1217:95 victory at Staples. And the big score of the series is also written as 3:0. At this time, Thunder can breathe a sigh of relief! Of course, in theory, the Thunder still has the possibility of a comeback, but the Clippers are not like a team that can comeback.
