It’s a bit vulgar to say so, but today for the Sun, Wei Shao is standing and losing.

Considering all kinds of factors, I think this is the best match in Russell Westbrook’s career-better than the 50 + three pairs against the Rockets in 2017, better than the 43 points in the fourth game of the 2012 finals that forced LeBlanc to be injured tossing.

Today is a typical moment when you can define Clippers:

In the third section, Durant’s weak bottom corner was spread across the field by Booker, and the vacancy was long shot to get the 68th point of the Sun-Morris of the Clippers didn’t have the strength to rotate against him at that time.

Durant will be placed in the vacant seat.

Morris has no strength to rotate him.

This is a typical moment for today’s Clippers:

Their defense was completely crazy. From the beginning, they caught the wheel and turned together. They missed Paul, Booker and Durant. No matter what, they just jumped.

In the first section, besides Booker, he can defend against the middle distance and find the gap between the middle distance-the whole team of the sun hit 3 in 16 shots.

However, if the Clippers fight like this, they are bound to suffer from poor physical fitness.

In the second quarter, after pulenli stirred up the sun, Paul came out of town: first, he calmly looked for relieve a garrison, broke pulenli’s layup, threw the first goal in the game, and then saw the Clippers break off the route, copy the ball and let Durant chase away.

Every Clipper is like this: a wave of galloping dazzled, then the physical strength went down, then slowed down, and was found by Booker, Paul and Durant.

At the same time, Coach Lu did something I didn’t quite understand:

In the first half, coach Lu ignored Batum and didn’t look at Covington. He only wanted Morris who had been injured for a month to play for 14 minutes: 7 shots and 1 hit,-14 — he didn’t play well last time.

— It makes me feel that the following conversation may have occurred:

Morris: coach, why did you send a text message on my girlfriend’s phone?

Coach Lu: well…… I sent it to you by mistake.

Morris: coach, why are you still on top of the wind? It was originally a weathering case, and you are going to be harassed in the workplace……

Coach Lu:…… Then let you play for 20 minutes next time, OK?

In the third section, the Clippers began to lead strongly and then ran out of energy.

When Durant’s long shot led the Sun 68 to 66, Morris didn’t even have the strength to rotate him.

At that time, the Clippers were exhausted: they were unable to fight again without Leonard and George. When Morris came off, Covington finally came out, but he was immediately fouled by Durant. The Sun leads by 4 points.

Then in the next round, Wei Shao also broke through the layup, leaving 2 points behind. During the retreat, Wei Shao went to relieve a garrison Elton-Elton Gao he had a head-first to make up a breakthrough, and then went to the bottom line to Puck.

780000 contract, what kind of life do you play?

But prenley, Mann and Highland were probably infected by weishao.

As mentioned above, the crazy rotation of the Clippers today has turned the scene upside down. There are all strange things:

What Durant was released, what Paul shot air ball, what Mann shot air ball, what ball fell out of bounds in front of Booker, what Booker fast attack fengshui ball hand garlic mixing; Including okogi to compete with pulenli for the right to play, in a hurry, he rolled the ball to the feet of his teammates……

This blood is the energy of burning gasoline and sweat to wash the jersey. Once you give up, the game will be over.

At the end of the third quarter, Coach Lu said: to retreat from the defense, to catch the rebound, don’t make mistakes-he was talking, pulenley lost his balance and fell to the ground after being sealed: but he built up Paul’s shot.

The Clippers are still fighting: plentley covered Durant, Covington stumbled through the scoring, Mann shot in the long shot, 81 to 83. Then Wei Shao appeared again:

When he replaced Powell, the whole audience cheered.

As soon as Wei Shao came out, he faced Durant’s CIC, 83 to 85; Durant immediately faced planley and Covington’s double defense, and he also had a 2+1.

Weishao vs Durant.

— Nine years ago, when they fought side by side against Paul of the Clippers, who could expect this moment?

I don’t know if I was infected by Wei Shao. In my dream of 2014, Paul found himself: sending out a quick pass, the best legend in the whole game, faster than the rotation of the Clippers, assisting Booker’s three-point ball, the Sun pulled away 8 points.

But Wei Shao still did not give up:

After another mistake, hailander grabbed return, and Wei Shao scored two points after three points.

Paul went back to a signboard and raised 4 points. Wei Shao broke through Durant’s layup and got the 30th point, biting again.

— Clippers are a lot more leaky defense method. To put it bluntly, they cut each other with the sun, which is longer than who’s blood stripes, harder than who’s wrist, and more than who can stand to the end.

— At that time, the narrator roared: “No Leonard, no George, but the Clippers are Westbrook!”

Paul shot a Hornet shot, that is, there was no side jump, no withdrawal, strong pull in place, three-point ball, and the sun was 7 points ahead-this is really the year of 2014, even Paul was forced out in 2009.

Weishao also has a turn-over medium investment.

Durant returned one, and Wei Shao scored another three-pointer, chasing 96 to 100.

At this time, Paul George applauded with a dignified but serious look.

— He should know the feeling of Wei Shao. Two years ago, when Leonard was injured in the Western final against the Sun, he scored 41 points in the fifth game. Same mood.

At the bottom of Paul, a goblin shot and stopped the Clippers, and began to smile: as hot as him, he could naturally feel that the game could be over.

But Wei Shao did not accept: Counterattack layup, chasing 11 points: that was his 37th point.

George was also his teammate when he got so many points in the playoffs last time:

But that was five years ago.

Without George and Leonard, no one would think there was a problem with losing the Clippers.

There were many moments that could end the game, but Wei Shao kept postponing this moment: attacking Durant, relieve a garrison Elton, beingtock, and chasing Paul in the last minute and a half: he did everything.

He was not even loved by the referee: today he made 12 of 18 shots in the basket, and there was no free throw.

The second playoff game in NBA history with 37 points and 0 free throws.

780000 contract, what kind of life do you play?

Weishao’s playing style is not a winner. Personally, I think he lost all his best playoff games-the fourth game against the hot season in 2012 and the second game against the Rockets in 2017.

I wouldn’t be surprised if someone came back and told me that in the next match, he would play a match with 22 shots, 4 and 8 mistakes.

But this is the most typical game of Russell Westbrook:

The background is a low career, 780000 contracts, and a bleak playoff prospect due to team injuries.

The game has gradually tilted towards failure; Even if he knew that he must lose without doubt, he still did not stop, and the blood was burned as gasoline, which infinitely delayed the arrival of the moment to admit defeat.

780000 contract, what kind of life do you play!

When he played in the fourth quarter today, the whole audience was resounding. I think it was the most touching moment for the whole audience.

Clippers fans watched him stumble in this little season. They also know the power of Wei Shao. They also know that they may not have won the match. But they applauded him sincerely.

The honor and fame recorded in front and behind will be forgotten.

But the applause at that moment was the most real: the fans were watching.

In the end, Russell Westbrook lost again, but everyone who watched the game understood:

He really lost standing up.
