Wei Shao said that the biggest risk of conceding first is to face the Lakers in the first round, and the whistle is risky
I feel that the most unstable in the top few is the Thunder, they are all young people, the pressure intensity of the playoffs may not be so good, the Lakers are relatively easy to big, the Timberwolves are twin towers after all, there is a basic plate, the Lakers want to cross over and have to die, physical strength has to be consumed a lot, the real unsolvable in the West is only the Nuggets, and the other top ten brothers are back and forth with each other.
Although you only saw this one, the Clippers will not be the first to enter the playoffs in the West, because the gun shoots the first bird, and the first to enter the playoffs has a high probability of touching the Lakers, 5 to 8 plus the Clippers' interior line is not very strong, so this is a game, didn't you lose immediately when you first arrived in the West, so the Clippers will let it go.
But in fact, there is no excuse to find, after this game, the fans should be sober, don't talk about the championship, it is realistic to win the game to stabilize the top half of the region, the depth of the lineup is not enough, the rotation of the point guard center is not as good as the Timberwolves, let's just say that the point guard Timberwolves have Conley Morris McLaughlin, all of them are experienced and reliable veterans, and the Clippers point guard rotation only has the young master, and the young master is very strong in playing five small centers. But he obviously can't do it in the regular lineup, as soon as Harden goes, the Clippers' offense is very sluggish, and then there is the interior line, and Gafford is really good.
Do any fans remember last season when Wei Shao didn't trade, the Lakers played the Clippers, trailing almost 30 points at halftime, James made 9 three-point shots at the beginning of the third quarter, and scored in a row, and by the middle of the fourth quarter, he threw the last three-pointer, and the difference was 10 points, and all the fans were boiling, and the Clippers were even panicking.
James cut 47 points as if he was tired in the back, Wei Shao held the ball, made a mistake in one minute, gave the Clippers a three-pointer and a two-pointer, a two-plus-one, and a minute in an instant, and the game directly cost 18 points, and the Clippers laughed and saved five minutes.
I thought why can't I try to let Zubac and Theis play double inside, at least the height doesn't suffer, and then add Leonard, George and Harden, all three of them have positional battle distance, Theis also has range, so what can you do if you try it once? I don't think we can think of anything that Coach Lu can't think of, but it's just useless for the new season of sports
