Legend of Tomorrow

On December 7, the Lakers played away against the Clippers. The team's outside offense was abnormal and their shooting percentage dropped sharply.

People don't believe that the Lakers can win completely, just because Tiger also takes a nap. But if you are strong enough, you can indeed win for a long time. For example, the American Dream Team has not lost a game since 2008 and is not yet the strongest lineup.

The Clippers couldn't seize the opportunity when the Lakers players shot abnormally. The Lakers' overall shooting percentage was only 41%, but the Clippers' offense was worse than the Lakers. The overall shooting percentage was 39.8%, the three-point shooting percentage was 30.8%, and they only scored 98 points.

The Lakers relied on Wade and Guo Xu's late breakthroughs and foul shots, scoring 105 points and winning with difficulty. Guo Xu made 11 of 12 free throws and Wade made 7 of 8 free throws.

Wade had the upper hand against the Prince Austin Rivers of the Clippers. He could use his strong body to push away his opponent and force a breakthrough. After he started, Xiaoli had no choice but to foul.

After joining the Lakers, Wade averaged only 22 minutes per game, scoring 12.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.5 assists. He shot an average 45.5% from the field, a career-high 33% from three-point range, and averaged 0.5 three-pointers per game.

Wade was able to shoot three-pointers when he came to the Lakers, because he was often left open on the outside, and it was very embarrassing not to shoot when no one was guarding him.

The core of the Clippers was guarded. Paul made 7 of 14 shots, 1 of 6 three-pointers, no free throws, and scored 15 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Almost all of his points were opportunities created through screens. Guo Xu failed to break through in a one-on-one challenge, and his jump shot was seriously interfered with. He also received a solid defensive nail block from Guo Xu during a layup.

The Clippers management has decided to trade Paul after the end of this season. Five seasons have passed, and the Clippers still have not reached the conference finals and are currently only ranked fourth in the Western Conference. Facts have proved that the combination of Paul and Griffin cannot lead the team further, so it is better to send them both away to rebuild.

Next season will be the last year of Paul's long-term contract, and the Clippers will probably get nothing if they don't trade him. Paul definitely wants to join a team that can compete for the championship and will not renew his contract with the Clippers.

Clippers owner Ballmer is depressed, and Paul is equally depressed because he doesn't know where his next stop will be. The Clippers and Lakers failed to compete for the Los Angeles market. It would be difficult for him to beat the Lakers if he went to other teams, and his exposure rate could not compare with Los Angeles.

It's difficult to beat the Lakers is what Paul said to save face. In fact, every time he met Guo Xu's team in the playoffs, he was beaten. He was thankful to win a game.

As a point guard, Paul can't go to the Lakers to hug Guo Xu. Even if the Lakers have salary space, they don't need him.

The saddest thing is,

No strong team is interested in Paul yet, only rebuilding teams want to poach him.

Paul is only 31 years old, but he has been injured too many times and has a habit of falling apart in the playoffs. No strong team wants to recruit such a short point guard who is about to become a veteran and has reduced explosiveness to serve as the core. What's more, his next contract will be amazing?

As for Griffin, trading him won't bring back a strong player, he has already turned into a cancer.

Everyone knows that Griffin's desire to win and leadership skills are insufficient. He only regards basketball as a tool to make money and a career. He relied on his talent to become an All-Star and after receiving a big contract, he had no motivation to improve, and it was difficult to improve his performance to the next level.

During his rookie season, people called Griffin the White Monster, and some compared him to Tim Duncan, believing that he would lead the Clippers to a renaissance. However, after so many years, Griffin has not made great progress. He didn't even grow into a superstar.

Griffin also has the attributes of a glass man. He was reimbursed early due to injuries twice in the playoffs. He was also reimbursed for the 2009-10 season due to knee surgery.

In addition, his off-court private life was unruly. Since entering the league, he has been a famous playboy. He changes girlfriends very frequently. In addition, he is a frequent visitor to nightclubs, which makes him a bit weak.

The most disappointing thing about the Clippers is Luol Deng. He suddenly stopped playing after leaving the Bulls. He shot 39.3% from the field and scored 9.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 30 minutes.

He is not suitable for the Clippers' offensive system. The ball is in the hands of Paul and Griffin most of the time. His shooting rate as a fixed-point shooter is average, and he is not good at running without the ball. It was very uncomfortable for him to play like this when he was with the Warriors. It got better after Kobe left, but now he's back to his old ways.

The Clippers' worst player is center Mozgov. In the summer, many experts predicted that he would improve in the new season. As a result, he is not a qualified role player. He failed to strengthen the Clippers' interior defense and made the Clippers weaker in defending the pick-and-roll, allowing opponent defenders to break through at will.

The Clippers' ability to finish fourth in the Western Conference is related to the weakening of many Western Conference teams. Most teams know they can't compete for the championship and just muddle along. This is the biggest disadvantage of star players teaming up.

On December 25, the Lakers defeated the Warriors 125-98 at home on Christmas Day. People felt that this season was really suspenseful.

The Lakers can beat the second-ranked team in the league, how can other teams beat them? President Adam Silver is worried that the Lakers are too strong, but there is no way to contain them.

The Lakers can naturally form a team if they have space. If the league blows the whistle on the Lakers, they will be scolded by the fans. Advise Guo Xu to retire again? He has no competition after he retires. At most four teams compete for the championship, and the other teams just play along. I tried it in the previous two years, which was the Warriors VS Nets.

The rules of the NBA are doomed to have no competition and to develop in the direction of show, using fake passion to attract fake fans.

They don't have a promotion and relegation system. There are no penalties and rewards for poor performance. They can select high-ranking rookies. Doesn't this encourage teams to perform poorly?

Seven members of the Lakers team scored in double figures. Guo Xu scored a double-double with 19 points and 12 assists in 30 minutes; Durant had 23 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists; Horford had 13 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists.

The Lakers always have multiple organizational points on the court, and two stars are responsible for holding the ball in singles. As long as the opponent is guarding one star, they will quickly transfer the ball to another player. After attracting the defense, they can also transfer the ball to the weak side for an open shot.

The only player in the Lakers starting lineup who is not good at passing is Adams. His offensive areas are only in the low post and the basket, and catching the ball is the end of the offense. The Sea King of the parallel world became the famous Pake King of the alliance.

When Guo Xu defends seriously, all point guards find it difficult to face him. Curry couldn't break through. He played 30 minutes and made 4 of 11 shots, 2 of 7 three-pointers, and 3 of 4 free throws. He only scored 13 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists.

Middleton performed well, making 9 of 17 shots against Durant, 3 of 4 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 23 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. If it weren't for him, the Warriors would have to kneel at halftime.

Nowitzki, who is approaching 39 years old, is beginning to show signs of fatigue. He was blocked by Horford on 3 of 12 shots, 0 of 3 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws. He only had 11 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist.

Draymond Green's presence on the court does not help much in the interior offense. He can let go from the outside, but he can't get past Adams when he rushes in. After Green hit the ball continuously and got angry for a layup, he extended his leg to kick someone. The kick was not accurate and just hit Adams on the waist. The referee called Green a technical foul.

He grinned and yelled at the referee again, but he got the second T and was ejected directly. This is already his 11th technical foul this season, and the game has only started two months ago.

Green often uses dirty moves such as chasing eggs, hugging and throwing elbows, which attracts dissatisfaction among players and fans. This season, he ranked first on the league's blacklist, and the referee was particularly strict. The Christmas battle was the highlight, and it was broadcast live on many radio stations. He actually did this again, and it was so stupid that he was hopeless.

After this Christmas game, the Lakers led the Warriors 2-0 in the regular season, with a clear advantage...
