With the win in this game, the defending champion Mavericks took the series lead. We all know that in the past, the Mavericks performed well in the regular season, but after the playoffs, they always dropped the chain. But since joining the Mavericks, the Mavericks have been able to perform well in both the regular season and the playoffs. ”

"The Clippers probably thought they had the best opponent they had ever met, but they were the ones who lost the first game. Blake. Griffin and Paul both played very average today. Griffin scored just 17 points on 7-of-15 shooting. Paul shot just 41 percent from the field on 5-of-12 shooting, although he recorded a double-double of 14 points and 11 assists. But it's clear that fans expect Chris to do better. "Kenny. Smith looked at the data analysis of the Clippers' players and saw that they were rightfully losing.

Carlisle is a guy who hasn't won against the Clippers in the regular season, but he's never going to make a mistake in the playoffs. Today's defensive set-up against Paul and Griffin made it difficult for the Clippers, who rely on offense.

After the loss, Paul and Griffin went straight to the players' tunnel. Denagro was left alone with no choice but to shake Carlisle's hand.

Carlisle smiled and shook Denagro very politely. "It was a good game."

"Yes...... You guys won beautifully. Denagro looked at Carlisle's ease and felt a little more pressure in his heart. This guy, how much else is there to hide?

After shaking Carlisle's hand, De Nagro turned his head to look at Yiyang, who really interacted with the fans in the stands. The performance of this young man today can only be described as incredible. Although he was suppressed by Paul during the regular season, in this crucial game, Yiyang beat Paul and led the team to win with 25 points and 11 assists.

A sophomore can already play back and forth with Paul in the playoffs. De Nagro can't imagine what this Chinese defender will grow into in a few years!

If De Nagro had to give Griffin one piece of advice, he would have said it to the big strong man. "Don't provoke him again, he may become even more powerful than you in the future!"

The Clippers coach hurriedly withdrew his gaze and straightened his long, already messy hair. Standing in this sea of joy in embarrassment is too out of place.

Yiyang didn't know that there were so many people talking about himself at the moment, and he wasn't in the mood to mock Griffin's self-esteemed idiot in front of reporters. He just walked slowly along the pitch as if he were walking. Occasionally signing a name for a fan, occasionally hugging a teammate, and accepting the adoration of all Dallasians......

Yiyang didn't do this for any special purpose, he was simply enjoying the victory and enjoying the wonderful atmosphere after the win.

Of course, there will still be uninteresting reporters rushing to the stadium to spoil the beautiful atmosphere.

A young woman with a microphone and a strong man with a camera suddenly appeared in front of Yiyang's eyes, the Chinese defender shook his head, there are still people who don't understand the amorous feelings.

"You won 108-98 against the Los Angeles Clippers today, and this is your first win over them this season. Do you think there is any difference between today's game and the previous games between the two sides? The female reporter excitedly stretched the topic to Yiyang's mouth, and she thought that her charm was unstoppable.

Dirk had 20 points and seven rebounds, Jett had 17 points and four assists, and Vince had 13 points despite missing a couple of three-pointers. We're full and united, and that's the difference. Yiyang did not focus on himself, but praised his teammates in front of reporters.

And so it is, and this may be the most complete lineup the Mavericks have had since they played the Clippers this season. With Kidd here, Yiyang can rotate and rest normally. And the play of Nowitzki and Terry also allowed the Mavericks to continue to maintain their lead during Yiyang's rest.

"Do you think you'll be able to keep winning?"

After hearing this question, Yiyang squinted at the female reporter, who was obviously a novice. "Is it difficult, do I still say that we are going to fail?"

In the post-match press conference, Griffin made a thousand excuses for his performance. Yiyang, on the other hand, didn't say a word about things related to Griffin.

You can say that Yiyang doesn't like to have a war of words in front of the media, but more people think that Yiyang disdains to be like Griffin.

This is only Yiyang's second season, but he has already won two rookie game MVPs, slam dunk contest titles, best rookies, best sixth man and even NBA championships! The honors that Yiyang has won may not be able to be obtained by some players in their lives.

And what about Griffin? Although this guy is very famous, he still hasn't won any substantive honors so far. Yiyang can already compete with superstars such as Paul and Wade, while Griffin still seems inadequate most of the time against opponents like Duncan and Nowitzki.

Thinking about it carefully, although Griffin is the champion, he is indeed far from being as good as Yiyang. Yiyang's disdain for Griffin at this time is precisely the biggest humiliation for him!

Therefore, when many media were waiting to see the two young people have a war of words, Yiyang chose to ignore it, and Griffin was embarrassed to mention this stubble again.

But Griffin didn't admit that he and the team didn't perform well under the pressing, he just felt that he was a little unlucky.

Griffin's excuse was very cliché, but it was inadherently fulfilled. Over the next few days, Griffin and the Clippers' "luck" was nothing short of terrible.

Due to the back-to-back tough battles, the Clippers' strength and conditioning coach reminded De Nagro that the players are physically exhausted in a short period of time, and injuries are prone to in this situation.

But what can Denagro do? It's the playoffs now, not to mention that the Clippers have already lost a game. At this critical moment, you can't learn what Popovich is rotating.

So a day later, on April 30, De Nagro put everyone on the pitch. And Paul and Griffin also played a lot of time. If the grass does not die, it will die in the grass, and it is simply appropriate to use this sentence to summarize De Nagro's employment strategy.

As soon as the second game between the two sides began, Paul showed a strong desire to score. He took a lot more shots than he did in the previous game, because he knew very well that the Clippers couldn't afford to lose.

But De Nagro's over-reliance on his main players ultimately took his toll, as Griffin collided violently in the air with substitute Yi Jianlian with 1:33 left in the third quarter. Just when everyone was worried about Yi Jianlian, Griffin sprained his knee when he landed and fell to the ground in pain. Yi Jianlian didn't have anything to do, but the "White Monster" couldn't get up.

Losing Griffin would have cost DeNagro and the Clippers an arm. The burden on Paul's shoulders was heavier, and he felt like he was back in the isolated New Orleans Hornets.

However, Paul's on-field pain didn't last long. Not because of the Clippers' offensive highlight, but because Paul himself had to leave the game early after a recurrence of an old groin injury in the eighth minute of the fourth quarter.

"It's a big blow to the Clippers, they just lost Griffin, and now they're going to lose Paul? Let's hope these two guys' injuries aren't serious, otherwise, there won't be any suspense in this series. ”

Seeing this, Griffin had to continue to play with an injury. But without Paul, how much Willy can Griffin play?

19 seconds before the end of the game, Yiyang dodged Griffin's block with a low-handed layup and scored successfully. And this goal also made the difference between the two sides 9 points. Chasing 9 points in 19 seconds, even if you take a time machine to pull Medira who was 35 seconds and 13 minutes that year, you can't fill the gap.

98-89, the Clippers had to swallow the consequences at the Center Arena of the American route. Before the series began, De Nagro thought that the score could become 2-0. But in his imagination, it should be the Clippers, not the Mavericks, who should take the 2-game lead!

"Once again, the Mavericks have surprised the world, and before the series begins, probably 70 percent expect the Clippers to advance. But now, the Angelenos are on the line. ”

It's May, and the temperature is starting to rise. But this year, the frenzy in Los Angeles is not from the heat, but from the fans.

This year, both Los Angeles teams made the playoffs, which was not common before. With two consecutive series at the Staples Center, you can see how enthusiastic its fans are.

The Lakers met the Grizzlies in the first round this year, so it shouldn't be a problem to advance. What makes Los Angeles fans feel very sad is that the Clippers after returning to Los Angeles actually lost the third game in a row!

"Before the game began, the Clippers had said that both Paul and Griffin would not play due to injury. Now it seems that it was just a smoke bomb officially released by the Clippers. Paul and Griffin not only played, but both played more than 40 minutes. But it's a pity that the Clippers can be said to have buried themselves today! "Kenny. Smith shook his head, it was clear that the Clippers were in the ascendancy before the start of the fourth quarter. But what about now? The Mavericks' victory is within reach.

Originally, the Clippers used Paul's scramble to cause the Mavericks to make a series of turnovers, and started the fourth quarter with a wave of 10-2, taking a 76-68 lead in one fell swoop. But from 8 minutes and 30 seconds before the end, the Clippers only hit one shot in 8 minutes and 26 seconds, and the eight-point advantage quickly disappeared. The Mavericks' defense once again gave the Clippers a taste of what it means to be airtight.

It wasn't until 3.7 seconds before the end that the Clippers broke the scoring drought with a three-pointer from Butler. But that didn't help, and the Mavericks had already taken the win.

3-0, although the series is still inconclusive. But this score has undoubtedly pronounced the Clippers a death sentence.

The Mavericks are already on the move, and it will be easier than they ever thought the Clippers would be able to break through the first-round round.

"I'm too inefficient, I have to play well in the next game." In an interview after the game, Paul, who was only 4 of 12 shots, scored 10 points and had 5 assists and 8 turnovers, fell into deep self-blame.

"But the Clippers are now 3-0 down." The reporter didn't know what Paul meant by this, did he still want to win?

"I can make history, why can't I?" After Paul asked rhetorically, he walked into the locker room with a displeased face. Paul is not Griffin, and while injuries have taken him down a lot, he doesn't use that as an excuse.

Chris. Paul was a fighter and he never knew what giving up was. Maybe after 3-0, there will be a bigger storm waiting for Yiyang to face......
