In the NBA regular season, the Trail Blazers lost to the Clippers 107-114. After the game, Trail Blazers interim coach Split was interviewed.
Reporter: "How do you evaluate the Clippers' defense? It seems that they have contained your fast break to a certain extent."
Split: "I don't think so. I think we are always playing at our own pace. In fact, the Clippers are advancing slowly on the offensive end, and they have been trying to create better shooting opportunities for their players. Moreover, to It's actually very difficult to defend their non-core players - if you think about it, when James Harden is holding the ball, he has four shooters around him. It's the same when Leonard is holding the ball. In this case, it's difficult for us to separate our forces to help defend. Moreover, sometimes Harden and Leonard can shoot directly under our strict defense, right?
