In a previous NBA regular season game, the Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Charlotte Hornets 113-104 without Kawhi Leonard. After this game, the Clippers, who ended a two-game losing streak, improved their record to 18-12 and rose to fourth place in the WestThe Hornets, who have suffered an eight-game losing streak, have slipped to 7-21 and remain in 13th place in the East.
In this game, the Clippers' starting center Ivica Zubac (Ivica Zubac) still performed quite well. He played 31 minutes and 13 seconds, shooting 7-of-11 from the field and 4-of-8 from the free-throw line, and had a double-double of 18 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, including 5 frontcourt rebounds, and a plus/minus of +13. Zubac has shown quite good efficiency on the offensive end, and he has also helped the team win multiple opportunities to re-attack, and he has even shown some passing ability and playmaking, and he also has good rebounding and basket protection ability on the defensive end. Zubac was on the pitch and the team dominated the interior position, and his excellent performance was a big factor in the team's victory.
So far this season, Zubac's overall performance has been positive, with him averaging 26 minutes per game in his first 30 games6 minutes, with an average of 12 per game3 points 93 rebounds 12 assists 02 steals 14 blocks and 63 percent shooting5% and 61 free throw percentage6%。Compared to last season, with a certain reduction in playing time, Zubac has even improved some stats, and his offensive efficiency is still very consistent, which is enough to show his improvement and improvement in ability and his importance in the team. Especially after the signing of Daniel Theis, Zubac seems to be feeling a bit of a crisis, his attitude and his determination on the pitch have become better, and his performances have become more consistent.
It looks like Zubac's strength in eating cakes and scoring under the basket is gradually becoming apparent since James Harden arrives on the team, and he looks like a fish in water in his current system. As a functional interior player, Zubac certainly isn't a particularly capable player, and he can't be efficient enough in every game, but at least he's been able to prove himself in the vast majority of games, and it's enough to be able to do that.
