Lu: The team has reached the present with a mentality of fighting to the end. It’s so frustrating to get out of the tiebreaker.

May 4th, in the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Clippers lost to the Nuggets 101-120 and were eliminated. After the game, Clippers coach Lu accepted an interview with reporters.

Talking about the defeat in this game, Lu said: "Looking back, Xiao Ka was absent before, and even he was not sure when he would come back. I think Harden did a great job in leading the team. Then after the start of the season, Powell played his best season in his career, Zubac also ushered in an explosive year, and Harden forced the team to carry the team on his shoulders until Xiao Ka returned. What's even more rare is that after Xiao Ka returned, he quickly regained the peak state of 'robot'."

Then Lu said: "When he fully recovered, we really achieved a terrifying record. This season we relied on the belief of 'to the end' to get to where we are today. Every guy in the locker room is worthy of pride. We are not only united, but also won 50 wins. But damn, who would like to see such an ending? It's really frustrating to be eliminated in the tiebreak game."
