Hip stretch in the first game! 5 points on 5 shots + 4 fouls! He made the Clippers miss Kobe Bryant so much

Can you believe it? The Los Angeles Clippers, which completed a major lineup upgrade this summer, were defeated in the opening game against the Utah Jazz, the super-powerful team in the Western Conference! Throughout the game, it can be said that the Los Angeles Clippers were completely pushed to the ground and rubbed hard by the young Jazz. Watching a group of veterans from the Clippers being eaten alive by a group of young people from the Jazz, that scene was really unbearable to watch!

As soon as the game started, the Jazz, who were playing at home, immediately gave the visiting Clippers a showdown, stopping the Clippers directly with a 15-7 start! Subsequently, although Kawhi and Harden made some achievements on the offensive end, facing the young Jazz who had gone completely crazy, this was nothing more than a drop in the bucket. After the first quarter, the Clippers were already 24 points behind the Jazz.

There is no doubt that no one could believe at the time that this would eventually be a one-score game! After all, the Clippers, with Kawhi Kawhi, Harden, Beal, Zubac, Paul, and Collins, are the favorites to win the championship in the new season, and opposite them are a group of young people who are super weak in the Western Conference. Therefore, everyone has every reason to believe that the Clippers can launch a crazy counterattack in the second, third, and fourth quarters and finally complete a super reversal!

However, when the half game ended, we suddenly discovered that we really looked up to the Clippers too highly and despised the Jazz too much. At this time, the half-time score of the two teams was fixed at 47-78, and the Clippers' deficit was further widened to 31 points!

Obviously, it is almost impossible for the Clippers, who are in poor overall condition today, to recover 31 points in the second half. After three quarters, the Clippers recovered 3 points in a single quarter, but falling behind by 28 points had actually sentenced the Clippers to death in advance! In the end, the Clippers defeated the Jazz 108-129 and got off to a bad start.

In this game, the Clippers star Kawhi was in a sluggish state. He only scored 10 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 shot on 3 of 9 shots. Second leader Harden performed quite well with 15 points, 2 rebounds and 11 assists, Zubac had 19+7+3, and Jones Jr. had 12 points. Among the starting five, new aid Bradley Beal did not score in double figures!

In this campaign, Bradley Beal, who made his regular season debut with the Clippers, started for 20 minutes and 13 seconds. He made 2 of 5 shots and 1 of 4 three-pointers. He only scored 5 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 1 turnover and 4 fouls, with a plus-minus value of -9.

There is no doubt that Bradley Beal's Clippers career debut was a complete hip stretch, and he did not play the tough performance that a starting shooting guard should have. Therefore, it seems not surprising that the Clippers were defeated by 21 points! Looking at Bradley Beal who stretched his hips in his debut, this will inevitably make the Clippers miss their starting shooting guard Norman Powell from last season.

Bakoby played a total of 60 regular season games for the Los Angeles Clippers last season, averaging 21.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.2 steals per game, shooting 48.4% from the field, 41.8% from the three-point range, and 80.4% from the free throw line.

Coincidentally, Bobby also made his Heat debut today! In the Miami Heat's game against the Orlando Magic, Bobby made 9 of 19 shots, 4 of 8 three-pointers, and 6 of 7 free throws. He efficiently scored 28 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, and 1 shot, with a plus-minus of +12. According to statistics, Norman Powell scored 28 points in his debut, the highest score in a player's debut in Heat history since LeBron James (31 points) in 2010.

Bradley Beal only scored 5 points on 5 shots in the Clippers' debut, while Bobby Bryant scored 28+9+4+1+1 in the Heat's debut. Whose performance was outstanding? This also makes people wonder: Do the Clippers regret sending away Bobby Kobe this summer?
