Leonard of the Clippers was injured in Game 4 against the Jazz in the second round of the playoffs. After the game, he was diagnosed with a sprained anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. According to the injury report released by Clippers, Leonard will continue to miss Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.
However, it is worth mentioning that the Clippers fell behind their opponents 0-2 in the first two rounds of the playoffs, and then advanced in the tiebreak. Now the Clippers are 0: 2 behind the Sun again. In the absence of Leonard, can the Clippers complete the reversal and advance to the finals again? Let's see what Clippers player paul george said in an interview with the media.
George said, "We have our own game plan. When CP comes back, we'll make a game plan. You know, Cameron Payne, I'm not saying that he is as good as CP, or that they are players of the same level, but I think Cameron Payne's performance without CP is incredible, which fills the gap of CP well. We will make a game plan for CP, which will be more difficult. We saw a high-level Suns team, but we must believe in ourselves, believe in the weapons our team has, and continue to maintain confidence throughout the series. "
If the Clippers want to turn the tide and reverse the sun in Leonard's absence, General George must show better performance. Role players like Jackson and Morris must also play better. The Clippers must show the momentum of the last round against the Jazz, and the whole team can go all out to win the game.
In fact, at the beginning of the season, I thought it would be good for Paul to win the seventh and eighth place in the West by solar energy, but it was enough to play a round of playoffs with Booker. Who would have thought that after Paul came, the sun would rank second in the west? Paul came and sent Ubray away, thinking that there would be something wrong with the wing defense, but who would have thought that the wing could be so defensive! I thought it would be difficult to play the Lakers in the playoffs. Who would have thought that Davis was injured and the Suns easily advanced? In the second round, Paul swept the Nuggets and advanced to the Western Conference finals in advance. Now, being able to lead the Clippers 2-0 in the absence of Paul is really another surprise for Suns fans!
