Reborn NBA Gao Fushuai

The game that night, although it was an away game, did not leave Los Angeles. The second game of the new season for the Lakers will challenge the city's rival Los Angeles Clippers.

When the Los Angeles Clippers first appeared in the NBA, they did not use their current name. When the NBA expanded in 1970, they were called the Buffalo Braves. They entered the NBA with the Lakers in that year. The team's opponents in the previous game, the Portland Trail Blazers, and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Although it was a new army at the time, the predecessor of the Clippers was led by legendary coach Ramsey and scoring champion McAdoe. The Braves quickly qualified for the playoffs, but unfortunately in the 1976/1977 season , After the transfer of ownership of the team, the team's record also plummeted.

In the 1977/1978 season, after the approval of the league chairman David Stern, the Braves moved from Buffalo to San Diego. The team's boss also changed from John Brown to Levine. The name of the team was changed, and the Braves officially changed their name to the Clippers at this time.

When Levine was in power, the Clippers had a pretty good record, but because they were in the stronger Western Conference, they were still unable to squeeze into the playoffs. In the first season after moving to San Diego, the Clippers Just got 43 wins, but unfortunately they still missed the playoffs.

After missing the playoffs for three consecutive years, the owner of the Clippers changed again. The current team owner Sterling became the new owner of the Clippers.

Due to the decline in the team's record year by year, San Diego's ball market has become increasingly sluggish, which forced Sterling to "move" again. As a result, in 1984, the Clippers moved to Los Angeles, and the team officially became Los Angeles. Clippers.

1984年11月1日，快船队上演在洛杉矶的处子秀，他们以107：105击败纽约尼克斯队。

Although they have been suppressed by the Lakers in Los Angeles, the Clippers have also had short-lived good memories. The appearance of Manning, Harper and others brought them back to the playoffs, but facing the team with Malone and Stockton The Utah Jazz and the Clippers were eliminated in the first round. In the following years, the Clippers' record was still poor. Up to now, they have become one of the worst teams in the league.

The owner of the Clippers, Sterling, is even more famous as a "stinger". Because he refused to offer a high salary, many players with good strength have left the Clippers for his team in recent seasons. The Clippers' playoff dreams became even more out of reach after Le, Odom and Olowokandi left Los Angeles.

Despite leaving Odom, Olowokandi and Andrew Miller last season, the Los Angeles Clippers still have Maggette and Brand, two strong stars, but this is such a team , they still couldn't avoid the bad luck of being at the bottom of the Western Conference last season. The result of 28 wins and 54 losses is undoubtedly a nightmare for the Clippers. It is hard to believe that this kind of result will come from a team with such a lineup. Team.

In the past season, the Clippers had almost no bright spots. Except for a brief win rate of more than 50% at the beginning of the season, their winning rate has been wandering below 50%. The team even created a shameful record of 13 consecutive losses.

Although the famous coach Dunleavy is at the helm, the performance of the Clippers is really unsatisfactory, and the ups and downs of the performance directly led to the team's final bottom in the Western Conference.

Although Kittles joined this summer, the Clippers let Richardson go. From this point of view, the team's lineup has basically not changed much, and its strength has not improved significantly. Lineup, wanting to break into the Western Conference playoffs, this is simply an "impossible task".

The transformation of the team by the famous coach Dunleavy is still going on, but the management of the Clippers must change their team building strategy, otherwise in the next few seasons, the Clippers will have no hope of breaking into the playoffs.

Living in Los Angeles is painful for the Clippers, because they have to live in the shadow of the Lakers all the time, and the new season will be no exception. The two sides share the Staples Center, which will only bring the Clippers more pressure.

In the new season, the biggest goal of the Clippers is to strive to get rid of the bottom of the West, but judging from the current lineup of the Western powers, the teams they can match may only be the Seattle SuperSonics and the Golden State Warriors.

Of course, these analyzes are only on paper, and the strength of the Clippers cannot be completely ignored because of this. First of all, the head coach of the Clippers, Dunleavy Sr., has rich NBA coaching experience. The best coach, also led the team to the finals.

Old Dunleavy's experience as an NBA coach began with the Los Angeles Lakers. In the 1990/1991 season, he led the team to a record of 58 wins and 24 losses. The Chicago Bulls, the following year, Dunleavy led the Lakers into the playoffs again, but lost to the Trail Blazers in the first round, and then coached several teams. The total winning percentage of his coaching career has always remained at 50. %above.

The head coach has rich experience, and the team lineup is also luxurious. The captain of the team belongs to Captain Brand. He is also the most famous player of the Clippers. One of the best power forwards, entered the NBA as the No. [-] pick, and performed very well during the Bulls period, but since he was exchanged to the Clippers, he has never had a chance to make his mark. Maybe Brand's career will be like As the famous Bulls sharpshooter Kerr said, "He will become a Hall of Famer without playoff experience."

The second leader of the team is Maggette, who was also the scoring leader of the Clippers last season. This player who also graduated from Duke University has only begun to emerge in the last two seasons. His personal scoring ability is extremely strong. New He will still be the Clippers' leading scorer this season.

The small forward is Kittles. After being ruthlessly abandoned by the Nets, Kittles had to come to the Clippers, one of the worst teams in the league. Here he will fill the vacancy left by Richardson. The sharpest weapon is a stable mid-range and long-range jumper.

Center Kaman, strictly speaking, with a height of seven feet, it is really difficult for Kaman to play the center position. The performance of this sophomore in his rookie season did not surprise people. In the new season, he Will try my best to be Brand's assistant.

Point guard Jaric, the Serbian and Montenegro defender will still be the main point guard of the Clippers in the new season. He will control the team's offense, but this player basically has no obvious characteristics. The most well-known one is probably his supermodel girlfriend.

Logically speaking, with an experienced head coach and such a lineup, the Clippers' record shouldn't be so hard, and they haven't even touched the threshold of the playoffs for many years.

But the fact is that the Clippers have struggled for so many years, moved several times, changed the team name several times, and tossed back and forth in the hands of several big bosses, but after so many years, the team has been brilliant. Ba's dream is still a mirror image.

In his previous life, Vujacic was also very puzzled. He always felt that the Clippers were going to an extreme. The value of their existence was to prove how bad an NBA team can be. The bottom line is that they don't have a real leader.

Brand is the boss of the Clippers, and that's just a big guy. It's true to say that he is a star, but if you say that he is a team leader, obviously this buddy is still far behind.

Such a big man, with the status of the champion, can't feel the domineering that he should have in his whole body. On the contrary, he gives people the feeling that this is a melon.

If a team can't even stiffen the back of the boss, can everyone in the team be expected to gather their hearts together and sprint for a goal?

The boss is not good, and the Clippers' lineup is not good either!

Brand stopped talking, tears were streaming down his face!
In other positions, Maggette is too independent, and the ball in his hands is basically the same as entering a bottomless pit, don't expect to pass it out again.

Kaman is too tender, unable to stand up at the basket at all, and too frizzy, if a game falls into a state of anxiety, he is guaranteed to be the first to collapse.

The remaining Kittles and Jaric are role players at best, and they can't afford a big role.

The combination of the main force is unreasonable, and the substitutes have not been able to make up for it. The Clippers' bench lineup is also a huge hole. Brunson is a rookie, and he is destined to not have too many opportunities to play in the new season.

Chalmers performed well in the preseason, but at best he will serve as Jaric's substitute in the new season.

Dickens, a striker with only one year of playing experience, is estimated to be enough in the new season. If he wants to get a chance to perform, it is estimated that it will be enough.

Langton was born in the famous Duke University. He may be able to wait for some help from his alumni, but his ability is average, and it may be a mess to play.

Livingston is the No. [-] rookie selected by the Clippers this year. The team has high hopes that he can become the team's new backcourt leader, but Vujacic knows very well that this buddy did not wait to play because of constant injuries. When it comes out, it will collapse.

The rest of the players, namely Simmons and Wilcox, can still watch, but after looking through the Los Angeles Clippers lineup information, I believe that insiders will find the same problem. Who will support it?
There are quite a few lone wolves, but none of them can be called defensive champions!

Vujacic couldn't help laughing when he looked at it. Such a team whose outside defense seemed to be paper was obviously on his plate.
