The Clippers lost! There are three heartbreaking truths behind the 16-point defeat. The rookie coach cannot lead the fake superstar

2:29am, 8 May 2025【Basketball】

The Battle of Tianwang Mountain on April 30 is simply more exciting than "The Legend of Zhen Huan"! The Clippers lost their chains at the beginning and were beaten by the Nuggets in the first quarter - Murray made 4 of 6 shots and scored 10 points, Gordon came on as a substitute and scored 8 points in 8 minutes, and Westbrook scored 5 points directly during the rotation period. The most amazing thing is that the Nuggets suddenly started cheating in the third quarter, Murray scored 11 points in a single quarter, and the "living fossil combination" of Gordon and Westbrook took over the game directly, scoring 14 points in the last 5 minutes to completely lock the victory. In contrast, Leonard made 4 of 12 shots and was like playing soy sauce, Harden made 3 of 9 shots and 11 points in the playoffs, and even the defensive end became a sieve - the Nuggets' bench scored 54 points!

How is this the playoffs? It's simply a shameful day for the Clippers! The truth of the three heartbreaking things must be explained thoroughly:

1. The rookie coach's command is like playing mine-sweeping

Tyron Lu's operation, I laughed and screamed! The whole game only called 4 timeouts. When the Clippers were 15 points behind in the third quarter, they did not stop and gave the opportunity to their opponents. What's even more outrageous is that when he was leading in the fourth quarter, he frantically brushed the data for the substitutes. How could this be the playoffs? It's simply the Clippers version of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" - "Emperor" (Harden) is watching the clouds in the Imperial Garden, "Queen" (Leonard) is embroidering in the cold palace, and in the end it is all thanks to "Palace Maid" (substitute) to save the scene!

2. Harden's famous scene of soft-footed shrimp slap in the face again

11 points and 11 rebounds? On the Nuggets bench, they are all the final rotation level! Look at the opponent Murray, who made three consecutive key three-pointers in the third quarter, and scored 9 points in a single quarter in the last 3 minutes. This is the bloodiness that should be in the playoffs! The irony is that when Murray yelled in the locker room "This is our playoffs", Harden lowered his head and played with his fingers throughout the interview area - how could this be a superstar? It is clearly a live textbook for "playoff soft-footed shrimp"!

3. The loopholes in the Clippers system are comparable to those of the sieve

The defensive end was penetrated by the Nuggets, and all the staff were constipated on the offensive end. Look at this set of data: the Clippers made 18 of 28 free throws, with a shooting percentage of 64% - how is this the playoffs? It is clearly a free throw training for elementary school students! In contrast, Jokic can win 4 of 13 shots, Murray scored 40 points + Gordon scored 23 points + Westbrook scored 21 points, and the bench contributed 54 points directly!
