Giving up a huge contract to join the Clippers Hidden fatal problem!
The Clippers fans had a great time in the past two months, but the next two weeks were spent in torment. Back-to-back losses to the Pelicans, Minnesota, Thunder and Kings were enough to hit the Clippers. But the most disappointing thing is that the Clippers, from the coach to the players, have not recognized their previous mistakes, as well as their current mistakes. Only the Lakers, judging from the performance of the regular season, and the Clippers from the perspective of the championship, have big problems with their tactics and lineups. Give up 2.2 million, join the Clippers, and when you're unhappy, your worth will tell you.
Frankly, why the Clippers lost could be discussed in a morning, but it's impossible to come up with a definite outcome right now because they have a lot of questions. The absence of George and Zubac, the physical exhaustion of Harden and Leonard, the tactical arrangement of Tyronn Lue, his bench, his poor performance, and the excellent play of LeBron James all put a lot of pressure on James. But for the Lakers, Ham believes that the victory of this game is that James got the ball, and in every offense, he will use blocks to destroy their most vulnerable defense. It's clear that this is Daniel Tyus's game.
Frankly speaking, no one can stop James's singles, let alone James's incomprehensible face, which is why there is no way to stop James, and Tyce cannot be blamed. As a supporter, Theis can give people a sense of hard work and positivity, even if he is molested, Theis will not show mercy and continue to attack. However, Theis had only 9 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 turnover in 31 minutes, 4 of 10 shots and 1 3-point turnover. At the beginning of the game, the Clippers had a good chance to destroy the Lakers, but Theis's steal gave the Lakers more chances.
Frankly, the reason why Tyus was able to become the starting center for the Clippers was due to Zubac's absence on the one hand and Plumlee's poor play on the other, which we saw in the final stages of the game. But it's impossible to have Tyus as a core player for the Clippers or as a bench player. Given Tyus's previous situation, and his current salary level, there is simply too little for the Clippers to offer. Tyus didn't get much of an appearance for the Pacers early in the season, and he was abandoned most of the time.
Tyus had already given up his $2.2 million buyout contract when he left the Pacers, and the reason why he joined the Clippers was because he liked the Clippers' rotation ability and hoped to play well with the help of Harden. Offensively, Tyus doesn't have much to offer, but that's his strength. His shooting percentage is in the middle of the league, shooting 39 percent from the outside but just 0 from three-point range4 pcs.
Defensively, Tyus's biggest problem is his height and physical toughness. He's a centre-forward, but he's only 2.03m tall, and when James replaces Theis, for example, Theis looks like a victim. Theis is not as strong as James in strength, not as strong as James in speed, and not as strong as James in height. James is Tess's"The Destroyer", he walked ahead of her, waiting to destroy her. As a result, Tess's defense is really not worth mentioning for James. If Tess moves forward, James can quickly overtake you and tear through the Clippers' defense. Theis had to retreat, and James stopped causing him problems on the outside.
In the end, Tyronn Lue made the last decision he wanted to make - he wrapped up James, gave Hachimura and Russell three three-pointers, and made two threes to beat the Clippers to the ground. In fact, after Theus became the Clippers' starter, fans have been worried about whether the Lakers will blow up their interior line. But anyway, Theis's nightmare finally came, thick eyebrows grabbed three rebounds in a row, everyone only saw James's big outburst, and didn't notice that he blew up the Clippers with three rebounds alone, which is also Theis's biggest shortcoming.
