The Pope of Basketball Community - Chapter 878

On the media day, the Clippers players were interviewed and expressed their confidence to defend their title again.

In the 16th year, there have been many huge contracts in the league. For example, the Warriors point guard Mike Conley and the team signed the largest contract in the history of 5 years worth 153 million US dollars.

On September 20, the Clippers also completed an early contract renewal with “Letter Brother” Adetokumbo, 100 million in 4 years. In this way, by the end of next year’s rookie contract, he is the Clippers’ highest paid player.

Last year’s Alpha Brother’s data was not very beautiful, but he signed a larger contract than Draymond Green. Many reporters took this matter as the main topic and asked Draymond Green, Danny Green, Would Whiteside feel that their annual salary is too low.

Draymond shook his head and said, “No, I won’t count other people’s wallets. That’s his money, not mine. Nor will I persuade his teammates to stay on the pay cut. I’m more concerned about victory.”

Whiteside has no problem with the Clippers management, saying that less money is not a problem, as long as the NBA2K game raises his ability to a higher point, otherwise he will be very uncomfortable when playing the game.

In today’s crazy player market, Alphabet Brother renewed his contract ahead of time. In fact, it has already been considered a reasonable price. Harrison Barnes, who has similar data to Alphabet Brother, signed the Timberwolves in 4 years with 94 million.

Compared with the potential, the letter brother is definitely much larger than Barnes, who plays mainly without the ball, but his contract is only 6 million higher, not the top salary. Yang Rui knew that the letter brother would improve, and it would explode soon. The signing contract made the Clippers.

Draymond has a low contract because he is a blue-collar insider and plays well on the offensive end, averaging around 10 per game. He knows how much offensively he depends on the Clippers’ tactical system and can only play as a forward.

Draymond participated in the Brazil Olympics with the United States in the summer. He was only a marginal man. He made 5 of 21 shots, 23.8% shooting, averaging 2.1 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists. Changing the system, he was just a defensive blue collar.

No one questioned the Clippers’ strength. The preseason team warmed up with 7 wins and 0 losses. The official strength list was also the first.

After the start of the regular season, the Clippers had another wave of winning streak, and they played beautifully, and their attacking power was obviously stronger than last season.

At the end of December, the Clippers 33 wins and 3 losses, the record is not as good as last season, but still lead the league.

The Clippers lost to the Spurs and Mavericks. The biggest upset was the Christmas Derby. The Clippers lost to the Lakers. The Clippers players were too relaxed and out of play. The stars continued to play iron in the last quarter and lost 4 points.

The Lakers are not weak, have potential newcomers inside and outside, and hired Doug Rivers as the head coach.

In the summer, the Lakers did not introduce big names, but they signed Ryan Anderson for 80 million in 5 years and Richard Jefferson for 10 million in two years. The start was good because the “Emperor” Embiid who came back from the injury was brave, capable of both inside and outside, and both the offense and defense can help the team.

The Lakers won by offensive, six of the team scored in double figures, Nick Young, Clarkson, Louis Williams, De Angelo Russell and others all have a good scoring ability. Embiid’s guest center has a big belt and four small players, and the Clippers ran to attack, the Lakers did not suffer.

The Lakers started with 17 wins and 16 losses. After a few years of silence, they finally had the opportunity to return to the playoffs. However, the team lacked stability and won both the Clippers and Spurs, as well as the 76ers and Knicks.

Embiid was definitely elected as the best rookie as long as he was not injured. He averaged 21.1 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1 steals and 2 blocks in 27 minutes per game. He shot 46.6% from the field and 36.7% from three.

When the reporter interviewed Embiid and asked him how he felt about getting rid of his injury, Embiid said with emotion: “The days I truce, the two seasons I missed… I was in a dark place. Now I have made a comeback, and I have the opportunity to win the Rookie of the Year award. I think it pays off everything I sacrificed before.”

Some fans on the Internet said: The Lakers this morning, it is dawn.

The Clippers have twice defeated their opponents by more than 50 points. The deadliest was the 76ers. Simmons’ fifth metatarsal fracture in his right foot was reimbursed for the season. The team did not defend at all and the Clippers won 62 points at home.

The 76 team’s core Kevin Love attacked the defense weakly. This time, the feeling was not good, and he made 7 of 21 shots. The best wing player of the past 76ers, Covington, was in the Clippers. He could only be a substitute, and he had problems inside and outside.

The 76ers must have gone straight to the No. 1 pick this season without any suspense.

The other defeated team is the Heat, the lineup has completely collapsed, Griffin also missed due to injury, losing 56 points at home.

The Clippers’ attack power is frightening. Nicola Jokic, who averaged 6 points and 3.7 rebounds per game last season, replaced Gasol as the starting center. His performance was not inferior to Gasol last season, the same style of play, his physical fitness is better, scoring efficiency is higher.

After the start of the game, Jokic only played 26.6 minutes, averaging 16.1 points, 9 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 57.8% shooting, 37.6% three-point shooting, and 82.5% free throws.

Last season was still a marginal man, fast forward to 180 clubs this season, Jokic has booked the fastest improvement player award, and may be selected for the All-Star game.

Adetokounmpo also made great progress. Heads-up, position and air cuts hit the rim and broke the ball, all of which have reached the star level. He has a strong one-on-one defense, can keep up with the guard, his wingspan can interfere with shooting, and he is good at grabbing rebounds.

Brother Alphabet played 33.2 minutes per game, scoring 20.4 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.7 blocks. His shooting percentage was 52%, his three-point percentage was also 34.7%, and his free throw percentage was 77%.

Since the brother of the alphabet joined the Clippers, Yang Rui found someone to guide him to shoot, and it worked, but this season he still made too few shots, averaging 0.6 three-pointers per game.

The biggest advantage of the letter brother is that it is very safe to single out near the restricted area. Last season, his only trick was to start the layup from a long distance. “Letter Steps~www.mtlnovel.com~ After following the veteran Miller for a year, he also turned the low shot and the hook into a trick. As long as he wanted to play It is very difficult to limit opponents without framing.

The two young men and Curry formed a new offensive trident, two Green defenders, opened the opportunity and received a shot.

If the opponent is not played by the Clippers in the first quarter, he will face the most horrible bench gangster in the league. Lavin, Booker, Covington, David West, Whiteside.

This lineup can quickly counterattack, the position of the three players to open space, Lavin and Whiteside midfield pick-and-roll is very threatening.

If the opposing team lacks big men, the Clippers will play small ball tactics, and David Lee, Bamotte, and Brogdon will also be useful. Zhou Qi and Powell were the worst, and they went directly to NBDL training.

Zhou Qi will not get a chance to play until he builds muscles and threes.

The Clippers developed a plan for him. He didn’t need to gain too much weight, he was qualified at 110 kg, and he took the Chandler route on the defensive end to ensure mobility. Muscle gain is a must. Zhou Qi’s skeleton is small, and if he doesn’t practice strength, he will turn into O’Neill when he gets inside.

In the past, people said that the Clippers are flawed and they are a team that relies heavily on the quality of the cover.

No one says that now. Brother Alphabet and Booker are both good at singles over cooperation. The only problem is that Curry must give up some ball rights and can no longer shoot infinitely like last season.

The core has nothing to do with the ball. The Clippers’ locker room has a very good atmosphere. They are all players who have been trained after arriving in the Clippers.

Curry, the boss, also maintained the good style of elementary school students, the others are gentlemen, the only temper Draymond, at most defensively shouted. Undoubtedly, the Clippers are the biggest favorite to win the championship!
