Title: Funny Show!How did the Clippers turn over?This wave of operations is too violent!
Hello everyone, I'm your veteran basketball expert, and today I'm going to give you an exclusive look at the Clippers. Have you ever wondered why the Clippers were able to rise back after a slump?Don't worry, I'll decipher them for you one by one.
First, let's go back to the beginning of the season. The Clippers are not in good shape, with 3 wins and 2 losses, which can be regarded as mediocre. However, when Harden joined, the team fell to the bottom with a bad record of six consecutive losses. Doesn't it feel a little hopeless?In the continuous defeats, discerning people have long seen that there is a major problem in the team's arrangement. Harden is rarely on the sidelines, but it's the slowest starting lineup in the league and the least likely combination on the offensive end. There is no blocking, no air cutting, no defense, and no secondary rebounds, all rely on jump shots to survive, and winning or losing naturally depends on the sky. It's like playing "jump", and you will fall into the abyss as soon as you step on the air.
What's even more worrying is that Wei Shao, Zubac, and Tucker appeared on the same scene, and the space was completely blocked. Arguably, the team's lineup problem has become the biggest stumbling block to their victory over their opponents. At this time, Coach Lu simply made the change. Wei Shao offered to bring a substitute, and Lu arranged for Mann's appearance to be in order. Using him to play the role of Ka Pepper and Harden is like giving the starting five a timely "blood battle".
Not only did the decision solve two problems: there were players in the starting five who did the dirty work, and there was also a qualified leader in the defense. In this way, the upper line gave enough pressure, the second line was swept away, and finally Zubac sank back to protect the basket, and the defense had some three-dimensionality. Mann's energy also puts a lot less defensive pressure on George and Leonard, allowing them to focus more on the offensive end.
Then it is to let Harden Jr. and Wei Shao George stagger the peak to ensure the relative fluency of the offense. Eating Tess adds a layer of insurance to the weak No. 5 position. He also repaid Lou's trust with a qualified pie-eating performance. Of course, old Tucker has to be mentioned here. The coach decisively made him DNP. It was a controversial decision, as Tucker, who has a tough style of play, has a good reputation among fans. However, the truth is that due to the decline in three-point ability from the bottom corner, the Clippers were 4 to 5 on the offensive end when Tucker was on the floor. In defense, there is no frame protection, no sweeping, and no change of defensive flexibility, which is basically useless. Just ask, last season's Covington didn't get a chance to play, and it was predictable that Tucker, who was even less inferior, was abandoned.
Well, after these changes, we see a noticeable recovery for the Clippers. However, that's not all. Kawaii's strong comeback has added a lot to the team. At the start of the game, the small card was in average condition. But after a month of adaptation and adjustment, Leonard finally entered the god of war form at the end of the year. In five games this month, he averaged 28 per game6 points, 54 rebounds, 50 assists, shooting 60% from the field, an astonishing 52% from three-point range, and a perfect free throw shooting rate. On both offensive and defensive ends, the Clippers finally found a set of logical and simple killer moves.
It's all thanks to Leonard – a player who is dominant enough. Not only is he able to attract pinch shots in front of the basket and ensure that he can easily move the ball to outperform the rotation, but he can also display high-quality switching, pinching and assisting in the first line of defense. Recent matches have further proved that he may be that version. Leonard does the job of the first main attacker, and the others can play the first in the quality space.
II. Third, fourth, or even fifth point of attack, the offense will be greatly simplified. Back to that high-quality space, almost every point can be eaten alone or suddenly.
In this way, everyone's positioning is smooth. The recovery of the Clippers is understandable. They have undergone tactical adjustments, a strong return of kawaii, and a regrouping of the overall squad. This is not only a counterattack to defeat the opponent, but also a battle of wisdom to find a breakthrough in the predicament.
In short, the story of the Clippers tells us that no matter what time it is, as long as you have enough wisdom and courage to face problems, you will always find an opportunity to turn the tables around. The excitement on the basketball court, just like the twists and turns of life, is full of surprises. I hope that when you face the challenges in life, you can also draw some strength and inspiration from the Clippers' counterattack. Come on, anything is possible!
