Ty Lue expects “Norman Powell Game” in Clippers-Nuggets series

After playing 1 in the Ball Arena, the La Clipperers went out their first round with the Denver Nuggets on Monday evening. La achieved a win of 105-102 in game 2 and brought the home advantage into the first playoff game in the intuit dome.

While the story of Game 2 Kawhi Leonard, who ended 39 points at 15-opposite 19 shooting, Norman Powell Norman Powell. Powell started with the game 0: 5 and continued and continued what was a abysmal start in the series. After Powell had only shot 5-by-12 in the defeat of game 1, he was in the series in the half-time of game 2 a total of 6 against 18.

Although he said reporters before the game on Monday that he had changes in mind when certain topics stopped at the beginning of this competition, Clipper’s head coach Ty Lue stayed with Powell and it paid off. Powell scored seven points in the fourth quarter and made three huge shots, including a start of three with 1:30.

“He has a mentality that if he misses a shot, he doesn’t worry about the next, he takes him,” said Lue after the game about Powell. “This is exactly what he is, and he does too much work every day so as not to play well and not to shoot the ball well.”

Lue was not the only prominent figure on Las Side that kept up on Powell in the middle of his early series of the early series. After game 2, Leonard expressed his trust in Powell and Bogdan Bogdanovic, who is goalless in the series.

“You went through the season,” said Leonard. “You are NBA players. It’s the same game. It’s just a title. NBA playoffs. This is. Guys are tougher. They went through it. They had games that they took up early and they held on to it. I think they will be fine.”

In training on Wednesday, Lue said that he believes that a Norman Powell game is coming in this series.

“He inserts too much work to be discouraged,” said Lue. “He has to trust his work. He works too hard. Sometimes I think too much. I left him at the end of the game, they saw what he did for us last year at the end of the games, so this was no different. I am glad that he could take these three pictures in the fourth quarter, and hopefully he brought the rest of the series up to date.”

Lue added: “We all have confidence and believe in him and he also believes in himself. He will be much better.”

Powell shared the same self -confidence and emphasized the faith that his Star teammates have in him.

“It is really helpful,” said Powell about his teammates who trust him. “It only shows that you trust the work, you trust my skills as a player, as a teammate. At that time you need that. You need confidence in your star players.”

Powell added: “Everyone here knows how much I have built into this game every day. Whether it is a good game or a bad game.

With two games in this series, Powell only turns 1: 4 to what the NBA classifies as a wide -open three -point shot. He is also only 3 against 10 within 10 feet of the basket, an area that he converted into 58.7% of his attempts in the regular season (via NBA statistics).

It is worth nothing that in his last 14 games of the regular season, which followed an injury of 12 games, Powell’s numbers had dropped across the board. In these games on average 15.1 points, he changed 43.8% from the field and 38.9% from three. The Clippers went 12: 2 in these games, which is why Lue Fest was convinced that Powell’s reduced production was not a problem as long as the team continued.

Even this version of Powell would put the Clippers into a much better position against Denver than what they have received so far. But the Clipper not only expect that he steps in water in this series, but see it as a real difference that creates a breakthrough.
