This season's regular season is like this, some teams are pulling their hips, and some teams are **. Everyone knows that the Warriors have had a terrible season, but they have been getting worse recently. Kerr also made changes to his starters, but he was still losing. Of course, the root cause is that the team's lineup is aging, and adjusting the starting lineup will not solve the problem at all. If you want to regain your life, you need to operate the lineup without breaking or standing. In addition, the Hawks in the East have also been indescribable recently, and they have lost quite a few games. Obviously, a few years ago, it was able to play in the Eastern Finals, but now it has become an incomprehensible team in the East.
However, there are some teams that are completing the **, such as the Magic team, who have rushed very hard this season, and now they are the Eastern Conference powerhouses. We're going to focus on the Clippers today, and they're on the rise. If you remember, the Clippers and Warriors hit rock bottom at the same time. However, everyone's expectations for the Clippers are higher than those for the Warriors, because the Clippers are a simple run-in problem. The Clippers need time and time to try and make mistakes, and recent times have proven that. Now that the Clippers have completed it, their record is 14-10, pushing their winning percentage to over 50%. In fact, everyone knows that the current Clippers are the real Western powerhouses.
After winning against the Warriors, the Clippers quietly won six in a row, and in the last 14 games, the Clippers have an 11-3 record, which is the record of Wei Shao since playing off the bench. The Clippers have a few stats to keep an eye on during this period. The Clippers have an offensive efficiency of 1172. Ranked 13th in the league. The defensive efficiency is 1097, ranked 5th in the league. The team's core Leonard and Harden have a net efficiency of +114。As far as these numbers are concerned, it is enough to prove that the Clippers' adjustment is effective. In fact, Tyronn Lue himself knows, and the players themselves know that if you want to make the team better, then someone must make concessions, Wei Shao needs to make concessions, George, Harden, and Leonard also need to compromise.
The Clippers are back on the team, and the three brothers, Harden, George, and Leonard, are still supergiants. Leonard is averaging 23 per game this season5 points 59 rebounds and 3With 5 assists, George averaged 22 per game6 points 5With 9 rebounds and 4 assists, Harden got 166 points 73 assists 47 rebounds. Now Harden is playing the role of a green leaf, and he doesn't care about his stats at all. At this age, Harden has made enough money, just short of a championship. George's entire career, in fact, was also missed by the championship, and this time he had a chance. Leonard is a two-time champion, but he also needs a championship because this season is a contract year, and if there is a championship in hand, there is no need to worry about a big contract.
In any case, the current Clippers are definitely the existence of the Western powerhouse, and their 6-game winning streak is also quite high. In fact, this season is also very interesting, teams like the Warriors have fallen behind, and the Nuggets are not the absolute strength that everyone thinks can defend the title, the Timberwolves have rushed up, but they are raw melons. So for the Clippers, there is still no small opportunity. The Clippers have completed the run-in, and as long as these stars stay healthy, they are bullied more aggressively than the Suns. All in all, the Clippers are going to rush and close the gap to the team in front of them even further.
