Lost two cities for the first time. Although the Clippers just staged a 0-2 counterattack in the first round, the Jazz is different from the Lone Ranger. Jazz's overall strength is stronger, and there are more people who can control the ball in the lineup. This forced Leonard and George to put more energy into the defensive end. The most important thing is that they are no longer attacking and defending the black hole Porzingis, but DPOY Gaubert.

Gaubert had 32 rebounds and 5 blocks in two games, while Porzingis had only 38 rebounds and 5 blocks in seven games.

If the lone ranger can win by his extraordinary performance, then jazz will play completely normally. They haven't even played Conley yet. There is no doubt that the Clippers, the last hope of the whole village in Los Angeles, are really teetering now. However, after 0-2, the Clippers suffered a double blow.

As we all know, Ibaka, a190,000 insider, basically has no sense of participation in the playoffs. Up to now, he has only played the first two games of G 1 and G2, which adds up to less than 20 minutes. Moreover, Ibaka's injury is still a very intractable neuralgia, which is difficult to recover in a short time. Although the Clippers didn't list Ibaka as an expense account, judging from the fact that he hasn't recovered in the regular season for almost two months, it is difficult for him to have a great chance to appear in the playoffs.

When the Clippers face top insider Gaubert, the best choice is that starting center Ibaka can come back. Ibaka, who has at least the ability to project, can mobilize Gobert who likes to squat to a certain extent. Now we can only be spectators in the playoffs, so it's better for the Lakers' drummond to at least play.

From last season's game against the Nuggets, Murray broke out, and now they can't handle Dansis and Mitchell. It seems difficult for the Clippers to limit this super strong backcourt on the defensive end. Backcourt cannot be restricted. If no one inside is right, it can be said that it is difficult for the Clippers to have another miracle, and the probability of delaying the grab for 7 and finally advancing is very small.

Secondly, one of the reasons why the Clippers lost the game was that the core was not as strong as the first round. The first round broke out in succession, and Leonard, who was almost indifferent to the lone ranger defender, seemed to have exhausted his energy. In the second round 19 shot, only 23 points were scored. Today, his performance was even weaker, 17 made 8 shots and 2 1 point.

Moreover, the jazz also found Leonard's nemesis in the last quarter. According to the statistics after the game, in the last quarter, under Bogdanovic's main defense, Leonard only hit 1 for four shots, scored 2 points and made 2 mistakes, and was directly prevented from being invisible. It can be said that Bogdanovic is a tough guy if he can seal Leonard.

It is worth mentioning that this is no accident. 18 season, when he was still a Pacer, Bogdanovic's playoff main defense James was effectively restricted. In the 173 round of defending James, James' hit rate was limited to only 45.5%, while against the defense of Saidisyan and Turner, James' hit rate was 76% and 57% respectively. Bogdanovic's best defense was sticking sugar, and he almost didn't stick James.

There is no doubt that the Jazz will continue to let Bogdanovic defend Leonard, which will obviously be a test for Leonard.

Objectively speaking, the Clippers may be getting farther and farther away from the championship. Even if they perform the first round of miracles and enter the west again, they will fight this kind of protracted war every round. Leonard is expected to enter the extreme health care mode next season.
