The Clippers' three interior Zubac, Plumlee and Theis have their own merits but the shortcomings are also very obvious, Zubac has height and block, but unfortunately the style of play is too soft and the movement is too slow, and Harden's ability to block and catch the ball and finish down is really too poor, there are a few before the empty dunk All-Star, and now after returning from injury, I don't know if the body has not recovered well and can't jump up or enter the fatigue period and can't jump at all, he is used to hitting the inside twice and then making a hook or throw, but unfortunately the shooting rate is not good, the offense is not smooth, the rebound is often not well protected, the timing of the block is also problematic, and a few times I saw Harden angrily gesturing at Zubac.
Plumlee is not as big as Zubac, but he is fast and has a certain ability to adapt and organize, but the disadvantage is that he is sometimes overconfident, always trying to follow the example of Mr. Joo to attack on his own but no one has that ability, and in the end it is either a mistake or a hit iron and then the opponent quickly pushes and counterattacks. Theis has a range and is also very obedient, obediently being a blue-collar center to block and grab rebounds, and will shoot when he has a good opportunity, and will not shoot randomly if he has no good opportunity. His shortcomings are that he is only 203 tall, and his defensive effectiveness and hand-to-hand combat ability under the basket are a little worse.
Although the Clippers did not have a particularly satisfactory center, Tyronn Lue maximized the effect of these three interior rotations, Plumlee played the Wizards disobediently, so he pressed him to the bench and did not let him play, Zubac faced the Rockets restricted area today and became an ATM, Lue guided the second half to decisively start Plumlee to let Zubac rest on the bench. Theis is decent, then let him be a substitute center, and when the three interior effects are not good, he will put a small lineup. Coach Lu has a bit of Coach Anzai's flavor, and Plumlee is like Sakuragi Hanamichi when he was on the bench and said, "Coach I want to play." "I have sharpened my prickly heart, and the effect of playing at the right time is much better, and Lu does have a set of guidance and employment.
