U-Kawhi Leonard kunye noPaul George basondela kumbindi webala ngaphambi kokuqala kweCawa ebusuku kwi-arena ye-Crypto.com, enye i-stalwart, enye malunga nokuthetha. Iinkwenkwezi zeClippers zacelwa ukuba zithethe nesihlwele phambi komdlalo wokuqala weqela, kwaye uGeorge waba mfutshane xa uLeonard wanqwala.
Njengoko kubonwa ngeCawe yonke, iiClippers zizabalazela ukuhambisana nePhoenix ekulahlekelweni kwazo ngo-112–95, kwaye kuMdlalo wesi-2, iiClippers kwafuneka ziphendule imibuzo embalwa phambi kokuba ziphuphe ubuntshatsheli.
Nangona uReggie Jackson waqala umdlalo wakhe wesithathu ngokulandelelana, uJohn Wall wavula ikota yesithathu kwindawo yokuqala kwaye udonga luphantse lwalingana noJackson ngemizuzu.
UPaul George ugqibe ngamanqaku angama-40 ngaphandle kukaKawhi Leonard kunye noJohn Wall, kwaye iiClippers zilibazise uvuthondaba lwazo lwasemva kokoyisa iSacramento Kings.
Ngaba iClippers ibhalansisa njani isebenzisa iziko labo lokuqala i-Ivica Zubac kunye namaxesha okumthatha endaweni yakhe ngeqela elincinci? Esebenzisa iipucks ezinkulu zemveli kuwo wonke umdlalo, uPhoenix uminxe iiClippers kwisiqingatha sokuqala sokuphinda aphinde akhokele ngamanqaku angama-20, nomqalisi wabo uDeandre Ayton wake wahlutha ibhola kuJackson ngempumelelo.
Mhlawumbi okona kubalulekileyo, ngaba lo ngumzekelo wokudinwa ngokukhawuleza, okanye ngaba iiClippers aziyithobeli imiyalelo yomqeqeshi uTyrone Liu yokuba ngaphandle kwesizini yabo yonke italente abanayo, abayi kwenza konke okusemandleni abo ukuba abanikezeli ngayo yonke into?
“Awunakuwuqala ngolo hlobo umdlalo, ngakumbi ukuba ufuna ukuqala ngengqondo yokuzikhusela,” utshilo uLiu. “Akukho singxengxezo sokuba sidlale ngasemva. Wonke umntu udlala ngasemva. Kufuneka sibe ngcono.
UJohn Wall uthi uziva ephilile emzimbeni kwaye udlala kakuhle, “ngaphandle kokuphoswa simahla kukaShaq.”
I-Clippers yalahleka kwisiqingatha sokuqala esibi, kwaye uPhoenix walahla ngokukhawuleza yonke imizamo yokubuya kwisiqingatha sesibini, kunye noDevin Booker okhokela ngamanqaku angama-35 kunye namathuba angama-16.
Ngendlela efanayo, uGeorge wagxeka ukukhusela - wathi ukukhusela ngebhola kuyanya, kunye nokukhusela ngaphandle kwebhola.
ULeonard wadlala umdlalo wakhe wesibini wesizini, apho wadlala imizuzu engama-21 kwaye wayenamanqaku ali-11, i-6 rebounds kunye nabancedisi be-2, amanqaku angama-7 kufutshane nomgca wokuphosa wasimahla. Ngobunye ubusuku emva kokuba uGeorge efumene amanqaku angama-40 kwimizuzu engama-39 ukubetha iSacramento, wadlala imizuzu engama-34 waza wafumana amanqaku ali-16.
UJackson akafumananga manqaku, waphoswa izihlandlo ezihlanu kwimizuzu engama-24 kwaye waba nabancedisi ababini. Udonga luqale ukufudumala kwinqanaba lokuqala ekuqaleni kwesiqingatha sesibini, uWall ethatha indawo yomphathi webhola ophambili kunye noGeorge noLeonard. Ngobunye ubusuku, elona galelo libalaseleyo likaWall ngexesha le-Sacramento Armistice yayingumcebisi osecaleni awamnika uNorman Powell xa ikota yokuqala yayiyi-3-for-18 ekuqaleni kwesizini, utshilo uLiu ngaphambi kokukhaba.
“UNorm ebengonelisekanga nguye, kodwa [udonga] ebethetha noNorm esithi, ‘Qhubeka udlala, qhubeka udlala,’” utshilo uLiu ngaphambi kokuba umdlalo uqalise.
Ukuba udubula ngokuchanekileyo nangobundlongondlongo, yonke into ilungile. Awuyi kuphoswa yiyo yonke ifoto.”
Uyazi, uMichael Jordan kwaye asizenzi zonke iishoti, uyazi? Lou Powell uthe. "Kwaye singabona babalaseleyo emhlabeni, ke kufuneka uqhubeke, uyazi?"
U-Powell uye wadlala isi-4 kwezi-9, ethobela icebiso lika-Liu lokuhlala endlongondlongo, eliye lasebenza ngamanye amaxesha – elala phantsi kwaye ephose utshintsho lukaLeonard olulula lwe-dunk kwikota yesithathu – ngamanye amaxesha hayi – ezama ukukhupha ibhola. Kunikezelwe kuZubak ukuba akrwitshwe.
ULou bekunganyanzelekanga ukuba axelele uDonga ukuba aqhubeke etyhala. I-Clippers ibethe phantsi ngo’11-0 kwaye ayizange ifumane nqaku kwimizuzu emithathu yokuqala yomdlalo, kwaye xa iWall ingena enkundleni kwimizuzu esibhozo yokuqala, uBooker wabetha iClippers ngo’14-10, etyhalela phambili iLanga. .
Ubunzulu beClippers bubavumela ukuba basuse uKawhi Leonard ebhentshini kwaye badlale indibaniselwano yoluhlu ngelixa begxile ekwakheni abakhuphisi bewonga.
Udonga lubonelele ngomgca ongekhoyo. Ukupasa kwakhe okokuqala yaba yipasi egqibeleleyo eya kuGeorge kwidunk. Ikhefu lakhe lokuqala laliyinkundla epheleleyo, uWall wayezama ukufumana ibhola esinqeni sakhe kwaye, nangona ukubuyisela umva, wayenesibindi. Udonga lwalungagqibelelanga, wenza i-1 kwezi-5 zokuphosa, kodwa wayenamanqaku ali-17 kwi-7 ye-12 shots.
ULeonard wadlala imizuzu eyi-7 kwikota yesithathu, eqhubeka nepateni yomdlalo wakhe wokuqala ebhentshini, apho wenza ama-substitutes kwiindawo ezintathu malunga nemizuzu ye-7 nganye - isiqingatha ukuya ekupheleni kwesiqingatha sokuqala, emva koko okwesithathu. isiqingatha. Vala imizuzu.
Uzinikele kumava eeMbaleki zeSikolo samaBanga aPhakamileyo i-SoCal, i-Prep Rally ikuzisela amanqaku, amabali, kunye nokujonga ngasemva kwe-scenes ukuba yintoni eyenza ukuba iimbaleki zangaphambili zidume.
