Once upon a time, the Clippers were the least favored team, but now the Clippers have left the Lakers, Suns and Warriors far behind to become the team with the longest winning streak in the league. All this is inseparable from the lineup run-in between the Clippers' Big Three. So, how exactly did the Clippers complete their comeback in less than a month?
To recap the Clippers' performance in the preseason, when the Clippers had a 4-2 record in the preseason, and there was some bright performance. However, this did not make fans expect too much from the Clippers in the new season, after all, the Clippers only finished 7th in the West last season, and this season they are only aiming to make the playoffs. It was this low-key performance that kept the Clippers from receiving much attention at the beginning of the season, which also created the conditions for their subsequent counterattack.
The Clippers' winning streak at the beginning of the season was inseparable from the decisive adjustment of the team's management, and in the early part of the season, they suffered some injuries and the team's record was in trouble for a while. At this critical moment, the team's management decisively made a series of adjustments, including the introduction of new signings, adjustment of the tactical system, etc., which quickly improved the overall strength of the team and laid the foundation for the Clippers' counterattack.
The perfect run-in between the Big Three was a key factor in the team's counterattack, and last season, the Clippers still failed to make a breakthrough in the playoffs despite having two superstars, Leonard and George. However, with the comeback of Pickled Pepper this season, the tacit understanding between the Big Three is getting higher and higher, and their performance on the court is getting better and better, especially the addition of Pickled Pepper, which makes the Clippers' offensive end more diverse, which also provides a strong impetus for the team's counterattack.
The Clippers' winning streak at the start of the season was inseparable from a change in the team's mental outlook, and over the past few seasons, the Clippers have been criticized for their "lack of team spirit", which is one of the reasons why they have repeatedly lost in key moments. This season, the Clippers have a new mental outlook, completing a counterattack from the worst of the four major traffic teams to the longest winning streak in less than a month. There is reason to believe that the Clippers will continue their good momentum in the upcoming games, and let's look forward to more miracles from the Clippers in the next games!
