Lopez, the Big Big, thanks the Bucks, looks forward to the Clippers prospects for winning the championship

The Los Angeles Clippers have caused great upsurge in this offseason, and one of the very important reinforcements was the signing of Brooke Lopez. The former NBA champion left the Milwaukee Bucks as a free agent and went to Los Angeles to join the Clippers.

Now that he has returned to his hometown, Lopez looks forward to winning the NBA championship again in this brand-new team.

This summer, Lopez made a difficult decision to end his seven-year battle with Giannis Antetokounmpo in the Milwaukee Bucks.

This inside giant tower joined the Bucks as a free agent in the summer of 2018, becoming an important contributor to the team's many playoff journeys, among which the journey in July 2021 finally topped the NBA championship.

At the Los Angeles media group's franchise conference, Lopez specially reviewed the years he played for the Milwaukee Bucks - the glorious journey that ended the team's 50-year championship drought.

"I am very proud of winning the championship," Brooke Lopez said in Las Vegas. "But I am more grateful to all the teammates, coaching staff, physical therapists, and physical trainers who are fighting side by side. It is their efforts that have made my success. These people take care of me in every detail, and we have formed a special friendship outside of basketball. This bond will never fade, and I sincerely thank them. "

Lopez, who is about to usher in his 18th season in his NBA career, still maintains a strong influence on the arena even at the age of 37. The Clippers' new player's internal drive is consistent: chasing victory.

"The money is good," Lopez joked, "but that has never been the point for me. I love playing, and I have grown up watching my brothers in the community play, and basketball has long been integrated into my life. And I have the same desire for victory - after I tasted the championship in Milwaukee, this desire has become stronger. The teammates here are like-minded and everyone fights for victory, which is a match made in heaven. "

Brooke Lopez grew up in the San Fernando Valley Center in North Hollywood, so few people can witness the transformation of the Clippers like him - from a league-side team to a highly respected strong team.

"This transformation is incredible, but it's also cool." The California native said. "As a kid who grew up in North Hollywood, I have witnessed the rise of this team. The Clippers were a world apart from now on. This transformation is amazing and makes me feel honored to be one of them. I hope I can help the team go further. "

" Everything has been going fast since the free market opened, but I was excited to see the Clippers as one of the suitors. They were already top teams with Hall of Famers, All-Stars and potential new stars – like my little brother Zubac. There are great chances to win the championship. "

In seven seasons with the Bucks, Brooke Lopez averaged 13 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 2.1 blocks, shooting 48.7% from the field and 35.7% from three-pointers.

The sharpshooter's career trajectory is legendary - he has tried only 31 three-point shots in the first eight seasons of the NBA. Since then, his average three-point shooting per season has soared to 336. NBA columnist Justin Russo deeply analyzed Lopez's field influence: the center who completed a gorgeous transformation has transformed from a former penalty area ruler to a tactical fulcrum that can efficiently project from the outside.

Although still have the ability to start, Lopez will appear as a substitute for Ivica Zubac in the new season. His inside lineup with Zubac and John Collins is expected to become one of the most in-depth frontcourt combinations in the league.
