Focus Battle! Clippers vs Thunder! NBA referees, it's too much

Just watched a focus battle: Clippers vs Thunder.

The result was that the Thunder, the No. 1 Thunder in the West, narrowly won by 2 points in the absence of Jalen Williams and Holmgren, and swept the Clippers this season.

The scale of the confrontation in this game is at the playoff level, and the defense of the two teams is really good.

The Clippers have won five consecutive games and are bent on rushing to the top six; The Thunder, as the leader, also wanted to defend the honor.

In terms of the content of the game, it was a good conversation, and you can see the biggest favorite for MVP in the regular season (basically no suspense) SGA struggled against the Clippers forward group, shooting 26 points from 29 points in the game.

I also have to sigh that the Thunder, as the team with the best record, is too strong as a whole, even if it ensures the first place in the West, it still maintains a tough game style in the face of strong opponents.

The boss didn't shoot, but the likes of Caruso and Aaron Wiggins could bring a lot of support on the offensive end.

The three-pointer in the bottom corner that the bald mamba hit was too crucial.

From the Clippers' point of view.

Leonard is in good form.

Harden, not only hit his thigh, but also sprained his ankle when he landed, and he couldn't impact it again after the injury. The Clippers wanted him to rest, but the players wanted to keep playing.

Fighting with an injury, he really can't do it, he can barely move, and it's a trivial matter to lose today, I hope he can not affect the subsequent games.

The Clippers' defense is pretty good as a team, but if they want to make a difference in the playoffs, they need to address the offense.

It gives the impression that there is no tacit understanding, the offensive end is too purposeful, and there are not many rules.

Against a team like the Thunder with strong defensive execution, it's too hard to score...

Also, what is the point of Tyronn Lue's pause, just use up the pause? The Clippers didn't take a timeout in the last 3 seconds...

Then, there is the scale of today's game.

One thing to say, the referee is outrageous.

It's also hard to imagine that this is in Los Angeles, and this is a game at the Intuit Dome (where the Clippers chant Alexander "flopper" at home).

If you only look at the number of free throws, the Thunder 20-Clippers 28, the home team still has the advantage.

But if you're on the stream for the last session... You'll use this quote instead:

"If the Thunder have to win this game, you can give advance notice and we can not play."

It's not a level confrontation at all, because the referee is not a scale.

For example, these scenarios:

The SGA gave Powell a slap in the face, and the referee didn't blow it when he bleed.

Zubac was whistled for a foul on defense, and the Clippers challenged successfully, but the foul was blown on Harden...

Zubac received the ball for a layup and was stopped by Alexander pulling his jersey, and the referee did not blow for a foul.

This ball, in a way, changed the course of the game.

Standards, very different.

A referee's report will be issued tomorrow admitting mistakes, but the result can't be changed...

Finally, about the Thunder team.

Strong on both offensive and defensive ends, champions in the West, favorites for the title, there's nothing wrong with that.

But when it comes to the playoffs, they are a team that is easily influenced by the referee's scale.

The reason is very simple: does the referee give defense? Is it allowed to go on "intensity"?

Today's game is a good model for a playoff game.
