Chapter 1104 Bitter First Playoff Experience

62: 40.

The first half of Game [-] of the Los Angeles Clippers' first-round playoff game at home against the Denver Nuggets is over.

The Nuggets led the Clippers by 22 points after halftime.

Such a result fully shows that the predictions of the experts before the game are very correct.

The Nuggets completely suppressed the Clippers on the court, and it was an all-round suppression on both ends of the offense and defense.

The old coach Karl also took the lead in the confrontation with the young coach Lan Shengli.

During the regular season, the Clippers also had a precedent of reversing the Celtics by 19 points, but after all, it was the regular season. It is quite difficult to complete a reversal of more than 20 points in the playoffs.

The line of sight came to the Clippers locker room.

Silence, depression, stagnation, these three words can perfectly describe the atmosphere of the entire locker room.

It's as if the Clippers' season is over, as if they've lost the series.

The players kept their heads down and there was no communication with each other.

"In the first half, the Nuggets taught us how to play at the level of the playoffs ~!!, I hope you can continue to maintain confidence, no matter whether you win or lose this game, at least you have to learn something ~!!"

Lan Shengli finally walked into the locker room, thought for a while, and said to the team members.

Listening to Lan Shengli's tone, it seemed that he himself felt that the game was irretrievable.

"Maybe we will lose the first game, maybe we will lose home court advantage because of this, but the playoffs are a small series, a place where we can make a small mistake, but we can't keep making mistakes~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"I don't blame you for the bad offensive feel. After all, I have said it many times before. If you have a chance, you will shoot resolutely. If you make a shot, it is yours. If you don't make a shot, it is mine. So you have a bad shooting feel. My reason, but I hope that in the second half, everyone can improve their defense~!! In a game of this level in the playoffs, we have already lost more than 60 points after halftime, which is absolutely unacceptable~!! "

Lan Shengli's tone gradually became serious.

"If you, the rookies of the playoffs, haven't adapted to the intensity and atmosphere of the playoffs in the first half, then I think it should be relieved in the second half~!"

Lan Shengli asked.

The players didn't speak either.

In fact, in the first five tigers, Hill defended dutifully and devoted all his energy to defending Lawson. There was no credit but hard work. Jordan grabbed 7 rebounds and [-] blocks. He has already done it. All the things he can do.

It's just that George and Love's performance was not satisfactory, especially George. While not scoring a point, he also had three fouls and three turnovers, and his contribution value was the lowest in the game.

On the contrary, the No. 15 pick Harden played barely, scoring [-] points and two assists.

But obviously such data can't help the team.

"We are chasing ten points in one quarter and ten points in one quarter. This game is still worth playing. Come on everyone~!!, We have reversed many games like this, don't give up, believe in yourself, believe in your teammates, this is the end of the season At the same time as the game, it is just an ordinary game, we focus on each round~!!"

Lan Shengli began to encourage him.

"Come on~, come on~!!"

"Crack clap clap!!!"

Harper on the side also clapped his hands in encouragement.

I don't know if the Clippers can regroup after the adjustment after the halftime break.

After the start of the second half, the Clippers really strengthened their defensive strength. Even Harden defended JR closely and never gave him a single shot.

But coach Carl has rich experience after all. Since there is no chance from the outside line, he will resolutely use Lawson's breakthrough ability to involve and create offensive opportunities.

Although Hill has excellent individual defensive ability, but because Hill is taller than the average defender, when facing Lawson's low center of gravity breakthrough, he seems to have no choice but to call his teammates to help defend, but as long as one help defends , there will definitely be omissions.

"Duang~!!!"

While speaking, Lawson's breakthrough here attracted Jordan's defense, and he directly passed the ball to Martin inside from Jordan's crotch.

A juggling pass.

Martin received the ball and directly filled the frame with violent hands.

As a former No. [-] pick, Martin is not very good at other aspects, but he is still sure of his finishing ability at the basket.

Especially this kind of violent slam dunk makes people's blood boil.

But for today's Clippers, seeing their basket being bombed like this, it should be calm.

In the third quarter, the Clippers did not let the point difference continue to expand by relying on the defense like gum candy, but the continued sluggish performance on the offensive end prevented them from closing the point difference, which is very urgent.

In the third quarter, the two sides battled to 26:25.

The Clippers did win by one point, but they were still far from the goal of winning by 10 points.

The Clippers came to the final quarter with a 21-point disadvantage.

Seeing that the team is hopeless for a comeback, many fans have already left the field early.

There is also a lot less cheering and cheering for the team.

Looking at the point difference still hovering around 20 points, it seems that Lan Shengli should think about how to adjust the next game in advance.

"How can this happen~, tonight's team and the Clippers in the regular season are simply two different teams~, is playoff experience really so important~?!, Are we really like those experts? As predicted, will it be swept away~?!"

Looking at the situation, the general manager in the box also frowned and sighed.

"Coach Blue, do you still have a way~?!, can you bring the dead back to life, can you create another miracle~?!"

The general manager looked at Lan Shengli, who continued to walk with his head bowed, and thought to himself.

No matter how miraculous Lan Shengli is, it is basically impossible to reverse this game, and the home court advantage must go to the Nuggets. It depends on how Lan Shengli adjusts in the next game.

In the last 2 minutes of the game, about 8% of the fans at the Staples Center had left, and the Nuggets still held a 20-point lead.

But even so, Lan Shengli still sent the main force, especially players like George who did not perform well, maybe they also hope to use more playing time to make the players adapt to the playoffs as soon as possible~

"Dum~!!!"

At the end of the game, the score was fixed at 88:106.

The Clippers lost their first playoff game at home to the Nuggets by 18 points.

The audience was suppressed, the offense and defense were blown up, the offense was lost, and the defense made repeated mistakes. The overall performance of the Clippers "deserves" such a fiasco.

Such a loss is definitely a very difficult process and a bitter first experience for playoff rookies like Lan Shengli and Harden.
