Yang Hansen s milestone! Trail Blazers 107-114 Clippers, this battle made me see three realities clearly

The NBA regular season continues, and the Portland Trail Blazers go away to challenge the Los Angeles Clippers. Both teams had previously achieved their first wins of the season and were eager to continue their winning momentum. When the game came up, the two teams fell into a tug-of-war early on, with the scores taking the lead alternately. The Clippers had a clear advantage during the rotation period, widening the point difference to double digits in one fell swoop. In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers accelerated their counterattack. They launched a 23-8 offensive wave in just 6 minutes and directly overtook the score. The team changed sides and fought again. The Trail Blazers' offense was out of power and struck frequently. The Clippers seized the opportunity to win by 10 points in a single quarter and regain the lead. In the final battle, the Trail Blazers tried to counterattack, but the Clippers firmly controlled the situation on the court and played steadily until the end. In the end, the Trail Blazers lost to the Clippers 107-114.

The Trail Blazers are one of the youngest teams in the league, and the Clippers are one of the oldest teams in NBA history. The two teams go head-to-head and play completely different styles of basketball. The Trail Blazers pushed forward at full speed, playing a small lineup half the time, eager to sink the Clippers with speed and passion. They scored 29-10 on the fast break and crushed the Clippers 30-16 by using turnovers. On the other hand, the Clippers have Harden controlling the rhythm, both internally and externally, and taking the lead with stability. At the end of the game, the Clippers took 12 fewer shots than the Trail Blazers, but hit 10 more sports goals. Their inside score even suppressed the Trail Blazers 62-44. This battle made me see three facts clearly.

First, Yang Hansen became the mascot and ushered in a milestone. The Trail Blazers met a team with big centers like Zubac and Lopez, but only gave Klingen and Yang Hansen 28 minutes. The remaining 20 minutes were all played with a small lineup, killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred! Especially Yang Hansen, the dignified No. 16 show has become a victim and mascot. Yang Hansen came off the bench in the first quarter and played 4 minutes and 20 seconds, scoring 2 points and 1 rebound. He was particularly active and smart in the battle with Zubac, and he also performed well in attacking the basket and protecting the rim. Even so, Yang Hansen still failed to win the trust of the coach and was left out in the last three quarters. Yang Hansen's playing time hit a career low, but he ushered in a milestone. According to statistics, after this game, Yang Hansen's career total score reached 6 points, tying Sun Yue for seventh place in the Chinese player NBA scoring list, and only 18 points behind Zhou Qi (24 points), who ranked sixth.

Second, Harden and Kawhi have become all-stars. The Clippers were able to handle it calmly when they were behind by a big score. Harden's control of the field and Kawhi's hard-hitting solution were too strong! Harden played 37 minutes, making 6 of 12 shots (2 of 7 three-pointers), 6 of 7 free throws, and contributed 20 points, 6 rebounds, 13 assists, and 3 steals. The field plus-minus value was as high as +12, the highest in the game. Kawhi played 35 minutes, making 11 of 21 shots (4 of 6 three-pointers), 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 30 points + 10 rebounds + 4 assists + 2 steals. A healthy Kawhi is the Clippers' nuclear weapon, and Harden is willing to play the role of a booster. If this continues, Kawhi and Harden are expected to hit the All-Stars side by side. After all, this season's All-Star home court is the Clippers, first come first!

Third, Tyronn Lue is playing a big game. Facing the Trail Blazers' small lineup, Tyronn Lue reused Zubac and Collins and severely punished their opponents with their size advantage. The two made 16 of 22 shots and combined to score 37 points and 14 rebounds, completely dominating the penalty area. After the game, Tyronn Lue said bluntly in an interview that the Zubac + Collins twin-tower lineup worked well. It is worth mentioning that Tyronn Lue also changed his lineup in the second half and replaced Bogdan with Dunn in the starting lineup, which had a remarkable effect. After the game, Tyronn Lue made it clear in an interview. He said bluntly: The first 15 games of the season are a learning process. We need to use 15 games to learn how to play and find the most suitable lineup. Obviously, Tyronn Lue is playing a big game, and he wants to use actual combat to find the most correct five-man group. Fans and friends, what do you think of this? Come and leave me a comment to discuss.
