‘He Dominated Us!’ Tyronn Lue Reacts To Zion Williamson Torching Clippers In Pelicans Win

‘He Dominated Us!’ Tyronn Lue Reacts To Zion Williamson Torching Clippers In Pelicans Win

Example or whatever that is um Zion I think you know down the stretch of all three games they won this year three out of four um he’s dominated us the last six minutes of the third like we talked about before the game and and the whole

Fourth and so um got to pay attention the detail like understand what we want to do and I I understand guys want to you know play they want to you know compete and um to take pride than that but you know going down the stretch when

We want to double team him we got to double team him like we said and you know um come out of timeout you know we just got to make sure we put a different give him a different look he just got too comfortable you know run um five row

They run it every single time and they they’ve destroyed us three out of four games with him doing the same same play over and over and so um you know give him credit like when when the game’s on the line it’s a close game he always takes over the game down the

Stretch just U looking at Clear didn’t have a large margin there this game TI at theend you know look like a blown covers begin fourth quarter see how close the game went like you know you when you see stuff like that is that kind of what

You’re kind of talking about when com to just yeah yeah locking in locking in paying attention to detail um first to end the half like I mean to end the quarter you know 3.8 seconds like you we know keep the ball in front the guy was

Taking the ball out Shadow you know make me throw it backwards you can’t let him go coast to coast in you know 4 seconds and so that was huge and then coming out like I said um things were pretty much intact and then we just give up a blown

Coverage three to to Murphy and uh put him up five and you know kind of gave him momentum going you know going into that fourth quarter and then like I said we did some good things to come back and you know make it a game but you like you

Said our margin for erir is very slim you know um at that point in the game how much you the 15 turnovers that what you guys are tring to do uh um you know you want to be around 11 or 12 you know but you know I think we had

SE um gave up seven fast break points um in the first half just turning the ball over um we W able to get back they got a three and then two pick Sixers you know so when you turn the ball over against you know a team like this that you know

You already struggle to stop you know you just can’t gift them you know easy threes easy layups and transition by turning the basketball over pight say it again what you see from PJ tonight um just toughness you know scrapping competing um took the challenge you know one-on-one you know

With Zion and um you know we needed that you know just his toughness his Spirit on the floor um was huge and and so you know PJ did a good good job of bringing the fight you know he brought the fight and Zion Zion you know we understand

That but just compete at a high level Mak him work every single time and I thought PJ did that coach in that fourth quarter neither Kawai or Paul had a free throw attempt just overall how’ you like your team shot selection in the fourth quarter and the pel defense get yeah we

Got some good shots in the fourth quarter shots we you know normally make I think guys you know a little tired a little fatigued you know PG on the back toback playing 41 minutes and kaai almost 39 but you know when the game kind of got away from us we kind of got

Them back earlier than we normally do and so um you know like I said New Orleans play good they always play good against us um I liked our fight I like our you know the way we competed you know we just came up short when it came

To just how feel like the offense ran I know said like the the shots that you got um what how do you feel about the pain touches that you got not a lot of pay points tonight like did a good job shooting but outside the third quarter

L yeah I mean just where the game dictates you know I thought he did a good job of blitzing you know PG when he got going um made short roll pass to zoo and and to mace um and we made you know we made plays are they going to take

Away the basketball we got to be able to make threes make make shots I thought we did a good job with that and so considering we played you know majority of the second half with no point guard you know I thought they did a good job

Of just handling that and seem to get nicked up are they okay I’m not sure yet yeah I haven’t had a chance to to check but I hope hopefully they’re okay yeah
