Warriors vs Clippers: The suspense of the lore moment
In the preseason game between the Warriors and the Clippers, who would have thought that in the last second, Waters made a three-pointer to directly turn the score around, and the Warriors narrowly defeated the Clippers 91-90. What exactly is there to discuss in this competition? Curry and Harden both played, and the Clippers had the advantage at the beginning of the game, but why were they counterattacked by the Warriors in the end?
Game start: Clippers take the lead
At the beginning of the game, the Clippers' Harden and Zubac cooperated tacitly, scored one after another, and quickly took the lead. Harden was particularly impressive, leading the Clippers to a beautiful 7-0 start. It looks like the Clippers are coming prepared. Harden is not only himself
scored, and frequently assisted teammates, making the Warriors unguardable. Many people may think that the Clippers have a lot of chances of winning at such a start.
On the Warriors' side, although Curry was also on the floor, it seemed a little slow to heat up at first. In the first few minutes, the Warriors were weak on offense and not compact enough on defense, watching the Clippers pull farther and farther away. However, the Warriors clearly had their own rhythm and immediately launched a wave of 9-0 offensive by speeding up the counterattack to pull the score back. I have to admire their ability to adjust, and this wave of maneuvers brought the race back to the same running line.
Harden is on fire: The Clippers are leading again
Just when everyone thought the Warriors were going to overtake, Harden stepped up. Two consecutive three-point fouls, and also scored a 3+1, once again helping the Clippers take the lead. I have to say that Harden's individual ability is really strong and he can always step up at critical moments. Clippers fans saw this scene, and they probably breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Zubac, meanwhile, has been pretty solid on the inside, with a couple of rebounds and blocks making the Warriors' offense look struggling. Although Curry also had a few beautiful shots, overall, the Warriors' offense has not yet found a high-quality state. The lead quarter ended with the Clippers taking a narrow lead.
Second quarter: Frequent turnovers, Warriors overtake
Heading into the second quarter, the Clippers' problems began to show. A series of mistakes made their lead fade away. Especially a few passing errors, the Warriors seized the opportunity to counterattack and score. The Warriors' Moody had a great quarter, hitting two three-pointers in a row, and with Curry's assist, the Warriors quickly overtook the score.
Harden looked a little lonely at this time, and although he stabilized the situation with free throws, the performance of the other players was not satisfactory. The Clippers' coach apparently saw the problem as well, taking multiple timeouts to adjust his tactics, but the effect was not obvious. By the end of the first half, the Warriors had overtaken the Clippers.
Second Half: Stalemate Battle
At the start of the second half, the substitutes of both teams came on and the game fell into a stalemate. Both sides made frequent mistakes and were not very efficient in attack. On the Clippers' side, Harden is still the core of the team, but his physical strength has obviously declined, and he missed several shots. On the other hand, the Warriors, although the offense was not smooth, the defense was relatively solid and did not allow the Clippers to score easily.
The game entered the final moments, and the scores of the two sides were very tight. The Clippers tried several times to open the gap, but were all defused by the Warriors' tenacious defense. In the last minute, the Clippers took the lead at one point and saw victory in sight. But at this moment, Waters stepped up and scored three points at the buzzer to directly kill the Clippers, giving the Warriors a narrow 91-90 victory.
Looking ahead: Who will have the last laugh?
It's only a pre-season game, but it gives us a lot to think about. Both the Warriors and the Clippers are strong teams, but judging by this game, the Warriors are the better team in crunch time. Waters' three-point stunt was thrilling, but it also reflected the Warriors' teamwork and mentality in key moments.
Judging from the data, the Clippers' Harden scored 13 points, 2 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals, and his performance was not impressive, but he was a little powerless at critical moments. On the other hand, the Warriors, Waters had 15 points and 3 rebounds, Curry had 9 points and 2 assists, and Moody had 12 points, 4 rebounds and 2 steals, and the overall performance was relatively balanced.
