- Through the efforts of the entire team, the Clippers redeemed themselves in the last minute or two and defeated the Detroit Legion with difficulty. The Pistons took the lead in style, but lost in the last two minutes. No one in the team could stand up and attack the city, and in the end they had to regretfully lose.
Sun Yang contributed 23 points and 12 assists in this game, leading Iverson's 21 points and 4 assists. []

After narrowly defeating the Pistons at home on January 5, the Clippers will have three consecutive away games. Their opponents are the powerful Mavericks, Spurs and Hornets. No one expected that the Clippers failed to win any of the three games. After three consecutive losses, the record became 25 wins and 12 losses, falling to fourth place in the Western Conference, and only one game behind the Suns.
The game against the Mavericks was actually very exciting, and the winner was not decided until the last minute. The Clippers failed to continue their good luck and had the last laugh, losing the game 102:107. The Mavericks led by 13 points at 37:24 in the first quarter, and led by 18 points at 58:40 in the second quarter. However, the Clippers tenaciously caught up to only 10 points at halftime.
The Clippers continued to counterattack in the second half. Collins hit a 3-pointer with 6 minutes and 38 seconds left in the game to help the team complete the lead at 95:93. After that, the two teams fell into a stalemate. Nowitzki hit a shot with 37 seconds left in the game. The Mavericks scored 4 points in a row and took the lead again at 103:102. Kidd then succeeded in stealing, and Terry made a layup with 6 seconds left to seal the victory.
In this campaign, Nowitzki scored 34 points, Josh Howard scored 22 points and 6 rebounds, and Terry performed poorly and only scored 9 points.
For the Clippers, El Thornton had 25 points and 8 rebounds, and Maddie Collins had 17 points and 6 rebounds. Sun Yang scored 25 points and 15 assists. The number of assists broke the record again, but unfortunately he failed to lead the team to victory. Baron Davis did not perform well, scoring only 14 points, but made 6 turnovers, which is terrible.
In the regular season, the Clippers and the Mavericks tied at 1:3. If they meet the Clippers in the playoffs, they will be extremely passive.

The Clippers have failed to win at the Spurs' home court for six consecutive years, and this Western Conference is no exception. Six members of the Spurs team scored in double figures and easily defeated the Clippers 106:84. In this case, the Spurs will win 4 consecutive games and continue to occupy the first place in the Western Conference. Before the game, experts predicted that the Clippers might lose, but they didn't expect that they would lose so completely. After all, it was inextricable to beat the Mavericks the day before yesterday.
The Spurs trailed by 1 point 43:44 in the first half, but they began to fully recover in the third quarter. Finley hit 3 three-pointers alone, leading 75:69 after three quarters.
In the fourth quarter, the Spurs gave a fatal blow and scored a 25:7 victory. Although the Clippers narrowed the point difference to 11 points at most, they were unable to withstand the Spurs' offensive and were defeated.
Sun Yang once again scored 27 points and 8 assists, but it didn't help.

If losing to the Mavericks and Spurs is excusable, then losing to the Hornets led by Queen Bee Paul is much more intriguing. The two teams have faced each other before. That time, the Clippers completely defeated the Hornets in two quarters and almost had a vicious fight. Kaman was hospitalized for this.
This time, the Hornets were obviously well prepared, and they were indeed avenging their previous shame, knowing their shame and then being brave. Rasu Butler became the first contributor to the team's victory, hitting 6 three-pointers. He also scored a season-high 27 points. Paul also contributed 10 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds and 3 steals. In addition, Tyson Chandler had 13 points and 11 rebounds, and Peja and West each scored 12 points.
At the end of the third quarter, the Hornets led 87:67 by 20 points, and the game entered garbage time early. Paul played only two minutes in the fourth quarter before taking a rest. In order to avoid what happened last time, both teams replaced the substitutes early.
Sun Yang also played only three quarters, scoring 19 of the team's 80 points, and also scored 7 assists.
Watching the team lose on the bench is not an easy life. The media has captured Sun Yang's confused eyes several times. The loneliness makes people sad.

After ending a nightmare 3-game losing streak on the road, the Clippers thought they would have good luck at home, but they were wiped out by the Suns. People couldn't help but wonder what happened to the Clippers?
Dunleavy also wanted to scold her. What on earth is going on? After a fantastic start, the Clippers had many difficulties entering the New Year. First it was Kaman, then Randolph, and most recently Baron Davis. The Clippers are full of injuries. How can they still play this game?
Fortunately, there are only two away games in January, and the other seven games are all at home. Moreover, most of the opponents are weak and should be able to win a lot. However, I am afraid that they will be labeled as "bullying the weak and afraid of the strong" by the media afterwards.
Having lost 4 games in a row, this is the first time this season, the entire Clippers team is immersed in gloom. The Lakers, another team in Los Angeles, are doing much better. They have recently won consecutive victories over the Hornets, Warriors, Pacers, Heat and Rockets, and they are very impressive. So the media went back to their old ways, as if the Clippers' previous flash was really just a flash in the pan and quickly forgotten. This may be a good thing for the Clippers, but it would be bad if they are kept being grabbed by the media.
With 4 consecutive losses, the Clippers are already on the edge of the cliff, so they must win against the Hawks on the evening of the 15th. There is no retreat.
The Hawks lineup is relatively complete, with only Al Horford wearing a suit. On the other hand, the Clippers are a team, and they are all the main players. Baron Davis, Zach Randolph and Chris Kaman.
The starting players sent by the home team Clippers are Sun Yang, Marcus Camby, Al Thornton, Brian Skinner and Maddie Collins.
The Hawks’ starters are the same as predicted before the game, Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, Mike Bibby, Marvin Williamson and center Pachulia.
With a jump ball in the middle circle, Skinner hit the ball to Sun Yang, and he quickly passed it to Mady Collins. Let him control the ball tonight, and Sun Yang has to shoulder more offensive responsibilities.
Mady Collins was traded from the Knicks along with Randolph in exchange for Mobley and Tim Thomas. The Knicks also wanted to free up salary space so they can pursue James Jr. next summer. New Yorkers are jealous of Cleveland for more than a day or two. They are even willing to dismantle half of the team for James.
(Regarding the injuries to the three main players, it is true that I did not explain clearly. Kaman had already received his lunch box and did not appear in Chapter n, followed by Randolph. Baron Davis’s injury was somewhat inexplicable. The appearance list is given online. That's it, it's my fault for not looking forward.) - Didn't finish reading?
