The Clippers will have problems, but they will also solve them, so how did the Clippers make a comeback?

Basketball

First of all, everyone said it was easy to play, but to put it bluntly, the Clippers played against the complete Warriors with Butler. In fact, it was the last game of last season, and they still narrowly won. Therefore, the Clippers and Warriors do not have any restraint at this stage.

Second, the Warriors are currently in very good shape. They defeated the Nuggets a few days ago. You must know that Gordon scored 50 points in an explosion and still lost. Therefore, for the Warriors who are currently in the chicken blood stage, it seems that it is not completely unacceptable for the Clippers to lose.

The Clippers will have problems, but they will also solve them. They have strong defensive capabilities. Holiday, Avdija, Thybulle, Grant, and Kamara are all of high quality in leading and assisting defense, and center Klingen is an excellent center that protects the frame.

It’s not surprising that the Trail Blazers limited the time in one quarter, so how did the Clippers come back? The Clippers' offense is flawed. Dunn and Jones Jr. are unreliable three-pointers. Bogdan is in poor condition. Paul can provide a fixed-point threat but cannot hit the pick-and-roll. In theory, using Batum and Collins is a better choice. As a result, Lue chose to put Dunn and Jones Jr. together.

From the perspective of hindsight, it makes sense that the Blazers' offensive weaknesses are also there. People like Kamara, Murray, and Wesley are also a bunch of rough guys. Those who are good defenders are put together to lead defense, assist defense, and protect the frame. I believe that the jump shooting ability of the two main players Haka is ready for attack. Then the Clippers waited until Holiday made two stupid mistakes and let him go to help defend Harden. Did they look down on Harden's vision or Katz's three-pointer? These two vacancies were unlocked by Katz.

Then the Clippers began to name Sharp. The Knicks devoured Booker alive in the last game, and crushed Sharp into scum this time. Sharp was not only a mess on defense but also a mess on offense. He made jump shots and made a lot of mistakes that directly killed the Blazers. But the Blazers also have their own helplessness. Holiday and Avdija are not productive attackers.

When offense and defense cannot be taken into consideration, it is a way of thinking to focus on one end first, drag the game into a confrontation or a quagmire battle, and then win the game by finding weaknesses and poking out details.

The combination of Collins + Zubac seems to be okay this time. Zubac had a good performance last year. The Blazers used five small players to face Zubac and it was too disadvantageous to not help defend in the low post. Collins's air cuts benefited from this.

This year's Clippers lineup is what I have been looking forward to. To be honest, this year's lineup is the lineup that I have been thinking about. Collins, Paul, Harden, whom I have been talking about in the past few years, and Luo Luo have strengthened the center position. No matter how this season goes, the players are my favorite.

Of course, I am talking about turtle pepper. I don’t like these two people not from the Clippers days, but from the period. Both are very unstable factors. When he looked at the overall data, it seemed that the problem was not big, but when he looked at the content of the game, he always made mistakes at key moments, which made people angry.

I hope these old guys can play healthy and healthy. Winning or losing really doesn't matter anymore. Tell us about the fate of the Warriors' loss today. What was the key to winning last season? Zubac dominates the inside, and Harden's organization is passed out, and Powell can make a shot after receiving the ball. Harden has little pressure to score. Now Zubac has suffered a serious decline in the new season, and the organization only has Harden. New aid Collins needs to pass the ball, and Bill is not there. It's impossible to watch Kawhi Harden unless he has an unparalleled offense.

Even without Kofi Porter, he is older and slower. If you don’t have the Warriors’ quick rotation to help defend inside, it will strangle you to death. The older and slower you are, the Warriors will be more happy to retreat and push back, but they will outrun you. If Zubac doesn't reply, Bill won't be able to achieve the expected results. In the future, teams that rotate quickly will still be beaten, such as this one, which is faster than the Warriors.

Some people always mention Powell. To be honest, even if Powell is here, the situation will not change. Some people think that Powell is currently averaging 24 points per game, so if he is still here, he can average 24 points per game to supplement the Clippers' offense. This is not the same thing at all. This season, Powell averaged 14.7 shots per game and 7.7 free throws. Who among the Clippers can take such shots? Who can have this free throw?

Harden, neither. Zubac, who ranks third, averages 11 shots per game. If Powell is still there, will he return to the state he was in after Kawhi Kawhi's comeback last season? After all, it is well known in the Clippers that there is no whistle. You have to admit that Kawhi's return did affect Powell's condition.

This is an inevitable situation after the shooting rights are reduced. If Powell is placed in the current starting lineup, he will not be of much use. To be honest, his three-pointers are indeed strong. This is the only improvement for the Clippers. Only in the Heat can he display his abilities. This is the case in the NBA. Three monks have no water to drink. The Clippers are not that pessimistic now. Didn't Harden lose seven games in a row when he first came? It’s better than that time, right? Doesn’t the new team need to adjust?
