At the beginning of the season, Clippers fans weren't happy with Leonard's performance. While he is still able to provide excellent stats as the team's leading star, his form is clearly not as good as it used to be. In the game, Leonard's mid-range shooting percentage dropped significantly, and there were many dunks in the dunk. Some analysts believe that this may be the result of his physical deterioration after losing weight, while others believe that it is due to his fear of injury. In addition, on the defensive end, Leonard is also under more pressure to defend the number four position. With the current defensive ratio of the four or five positions exceeding 60%, Leonard has a heavier burden on the defensive end. However, Leonard is not a player with his own system, and he needs to play in a good offensive and defensive system.
However, he hasn't gotten such an opportunity in his years with the Clippers, which may have been one of the reasons for his dip. In contrast, another star, George, has improved in recent games. However, his problems on the defensive end remain. Fans hope that he can become the MVP and DPOY superstar of the Thunder era, instead of the current "best two masters" who perform "demigod and half ghost". George's form on the defensive end has also become inconsistent, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and overall, his individual defense and help defense ability have declined. For the Clippers, these issues could be one of their challenges this season. However, the Clippers are not without opportunities.
There are a number of young players with potential in the squad and their outstanding performances have given the squad a solid foundation. In addition, the team is also vigorously developing new talents, hoping that they can become future stars of the team. At the moment, the Clippers have excellent overall strength and depth on their team, and if Leonard and George can return to peak form, the Clippers have a good chance of becoming one of the favorites to win the championship this season. The Clippers' coaching staff also plays a crucial role in this process. They need to develop a better tactical system for the team to allow the players to play to their strengths in the game. At the same time, the coaching staff also needs to actively introduce new blood to improve the team's lineup and make the team more competitive in the long run.
In short, the Clippers are facing a lot of challenges and difficulties at the moment. Leonard and George's declining form, defensive problems, etc., all require the Clippers to work together to deal with it. However, the Clippers are still a strong team with a lot of background, and we believe they can step out of the situation and win more games in the future. Recently, an article titled "Harden, Wei Shao, Hyland, Powell Four Guards + Small Card, This is the Champion Coach" has been popular on the Internet, attracting the attention of many fans. This article provides an in-depth look at the future development of the team through the analysis of several players and coaches, pointing out their respective problems and shortcomings. First, the article is critical of Harden.
The author points out that Harden wants to maintain his consistent style of play on the court, but in reality his strength cannot hold up this core position. In addition, Harden is not good defensively, with a slow offensive tempo and is prone to dragging the entire team into a fragmented state. This is undoubtedly a huge hidden danger for the team. Secondly, the article commented on Wei Shao. The author believes that Wei Shao's strengths and weaknesses are well known, but his brainless shots and inappropriate lineup combinations will only ruin the team and himself. This can easily cause the team to lose its rhythm, which in turn affects the overall performance of the team. Again, the article is critical of the perch.
The author believes that the perch is overnamed, and it has not done its job as a coach, built a tactical system, and focused on a freewheeling style, with no traces of coaching. The three-back, four-back tactics used by the Bass have proven ineffective, but they continue to be used, resulting in injuries to players. The tactics arranged in the final quarter were also unsatisfactory, causing the team to tear apart at key moments. In this case, the lineup of Harden, Westbrook, Hyland, and Powell four guards + small cards has problems in the game, and the root of this problem lies in the problems of the players themselves and the problems of the coach. The tearing of the whole team in the fourth quarter felt the lack of tacit understanding between the players, and the single tactics were also an important reason for the team's failure.
Finally, the article pointed out that if this situation continues, it is believed that Coach Lu will become the first head coach in the league to step down. Through the analysis of players and coaches, the article puts forward important questions and suggestions, hoping that the team and coaches can take it seriously and solve the problem as soon as possible to achieve better results. Fans also hope that the team can play better and achieve more victories in the next games.
