Chapter 1447 An Unexpected Losing Streak (Part [-])
"Since the offense doesn't feel good, we'll defend as hard as we can. Give me all the pressure to defend, don't be afraid of fouls, fight like hell~!!!"

"Everyone is a little nervous, and more focused. This is our first home show. We haven't surrendered our guns yet. We can still continue to catch up with such a point difference~!!"

During the break in the third quarter, Lan Shengli yelled at the players.

Facing the Jazz, which is not as strong as their own, the Clippers played very hard, mainly because their shooting percentage from the outside was too low.

Harden made 3 of 5 three-pointers, Billups missed 2 three-pointers, Love was better, but he only made [-] of [-] shots, and George also missed [-] shots.

The low shooting percentage from the outside kept the Clippers from tying the score.

However, in the last quarter, chasing a close to double-digit point difference still has a great chance of being reversed.

"Swipe~!!!"

The first to set an example is Caron Butler on the bench.

After receiving Foye's breakthrough goal, Butler hit a three-pointer against the catching up defense from the bottom corner.

Differences continue to be indented.

The game suspense after another.

"Swipe~!!"

However, it is difficult for Favors to limit this point. Another mid-range hit, the point difference is still maintained.

This score has been maintained like this. It is difficult for the Clippers to tie, and the Jazz cannot hit an offensive climax under the crazy pressure of the Clippers.

The game has reached the last moment.

With one minute and eight seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Clippers were only three points behind. Here, Harden hit the back while rolling towards the inside, and then passed the ball directly to Love.

Love made a three-point shot~! !

"Hey~!!!"

The fans at the scene were already standing up and ready to cheer.

If this goal can be scored, the Clippers will completely come back.

"Clang clang~!!"

"Oh~!!!!"

However, with the crisp sound of hammering iron and the loud voice of regret from the fans, the ball failed to score.

The Clippers missed the best chance to tie the game.

In the following games, the Clippers would have no chance to narrow the score.

Although the Clippers adopted foul tactics at the last moment, they wanted to fight for the last chance.

"Swipe~!!"

"Swipe~!!"

But the Jazz made a steady free throw, and the Clippers had no chance.

89: 96.

The Clippers lost their home debut with a 7-point disadvantage. It is really too difficult to win with 89 points.

"Basketball games are like this, either you lose or I win, it's very simple, just like every shot, the probability of hitting is 50.00%, if you lose the game, everyone still has to stick to our beliefs~!!"

In the locker room, Lan Shengli encouraged the players.

After all, they lost their first home game, so the players seemed to be depressed, with their heads down, busy with their own affairs, without the active atmosphere of the past.

"In the history of the NBA, there has never been a team that has been unbeaten in 82 games in the regular season. Even if it is a good team, it is only 72 wins and 10 losses at most, so we must understand the meaning of defeat. This is very important. Important~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to encourage.

"Cheer up, go back and have a good rest. Tomorrow we will continue to sit back-to-back at home. Everyone adjust their emotions and get back what we lost tonight~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

After the encouragement, Lan Shengli went to the post-match press conference.

"The team made 39 of 9 three-pointers tonight. What caused the team's outside shooting rate to drop sharply~?!"

the reporter asked.

"Players are not machines, so there must be times when they feel good and when they don't.

Lan Shengli responded in a low tone.

"The current lineup of the team obviously lacks players who are pure shooters. Will this be the team's next goal of reinforcement~?!"

The reporters continued to ask.

"I don't know. I'm a "chef", not a buyer. I'm only responsible for making existing dishes into a gourmet meal. As for what kind of ingredients are needed, I may not have that much right~"

Lan Shengli continued to answer.

The Clippers' second back-to-back opponent is the Portland Trail Blazers, also from the Northwest Division.

"Focus on the two points of Aldridge and Lillard~!!"

The game between the Clippers and the Trail Blazers is about to begin.

In the locker room, Lan Shengli made the final arrangements.

"Because it is a back-to-back game, everyone's physical fitness must be well controlled, and there must be no excessive fatigue or injury. Everyone must be prepared to play. This game will definitely expand the rotation range~ "

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"What's more, the Blazers have lost two games in a row, and the team's desire for victory is even stronger, so we must be prepared for difficulties~!"

These things that Lan Shengli reminded were all verified after the game started.

The Trail Blazers showed a state like playing in the finals. Every player was extremely focused and worked extremely hard.

"Swipe~!!"

Adelaide's mid-range turnaround jumper made Love helpless.

"Swipe~!!!"

Lillard's ultra-long three-pointer made Billups lament how good it is to be young.

Even if Harden is switched to defend, Lillard can also take advantage of his footwork and go directly to the inside to attack the basket.

In a blink of an eye, the Clippers fell behind again.

And even more behind than the night before.

57: 44.

Trailing by 13 at halftime.

81: 59.

After three quarters, they are already behind by 22 points.

Falling behind by a large score, coupled with the fatigue caused by back-to-back battles, the main players of the Clippers are already in a state of wanting to kill the enemy and unable to recover.

Lan Shengli looked at the cruel score difference on the scoreboard with a serious expression.

"Duang~!!!"

Here, Adelaide made another dunk after turning around with his back, and the point difference continued to widen.

Seeing that there was no hope of chasing points, Lan Shengli quickly replaced the main players for the purpose of protecting the players and training the young players.

In the end, the Clippers lost to the Trail Blazers again in the second back-to-back game, and suffered a two-game losing streak at the beginning of the season.

This is also a back-to-back two-game losing streak at home, which is indeed surprising.

With two consecutive victories in away games, fans will definitely think that the Clippers will win at least one game at home, but the reality is cruel.

Watching the Trail Blazers cheering and celebrating the team's first victory of the new season, the Clippers could only leave the field sadly.

Lan Shengli's youth army seems to have encountered a lot of problems.

Against two teams from the East that are not outstanding in strength, perhaps the problem cannot be manifested at all, but now, the problem has already appeared.

How to stop the losing streak has become a big problem for the young marshal.
