After Bill officially announced his purchase of the Clippers, the Clippers quickly became the most popular team in the NBA and attracted the attention of major media. Because of the offseason several god-level transactions by the Clippers management, the Clippers have become the darling of the media, and their strength has soared and ranked fourth in the Western Conference. It was only behind the Thunder, Rockets and Nuggets and became one of the popular teams to win the championship. The title of "offseason champion" is definitely not a brag. As for the current main lineup configuration of the Clippers, Harden + Leonard + Bill + Collins + Zubac can definitely rank in the top five in the league.

And the Clippers' reporter also interviewed head coach Tyron Lu at the right time. Faced with some new tactical issues mentioned by reporters about the team's new season, Tyron Lu talked happily. For Coach Lu, who likes to rely on veteran players very much, the joining of a group of veterans has indeed made Coach Lu feel excited and full of expectations for the new season. At the same time, how to formulate tactics suitable for a group of veterans over 30 also made Director Lu have the worries of happiness.

Coach Lu said with a joke: "This is a trouble that any coach will encounter. I have never encountered such a situation. Bill + Harden + Leonard will excite me when I think about it. It seems that I really need to invite Steve Cole (Warriors head coach) to drink. While he is drinking too much, please ask how to make the 12-player rotation share the playing time between Leonard and Harden and reduce the consumption of the two."

In fact, this is indeed what Coach Lu should learn and change in the new season. You should know that during the Warriors' coaching time at Cole, Curry never played more than 35 minutes. This also gave Curry enough energy to maintain aggressiveness on the court. Last season, Harden played 40+ minutes last season, which was a common occurrence. This also made Harden completely overdraw his physical strength in the playoffs and became the "burden" for the Clippers to be eliminated in the first round. After all, Harden is 36 years old and is no longer a "Harman". Time is not forgiving people!

Coach Lu also admitted in the face of reporters that he did not protect his star players due to the lack of qualified rotation substitutes last season. The excessive use of the regular season led to the overdrawing of Harden and Leonard's physical strength in the playoffs to the extreme, resulting in the team being eliminated in the first round. The team's strength has increased during the offseason, and the veterans still need some time to go in. Young players such as Kobe Brown and Christie also have the strength to play in regular season games. In order to enhance the vitality of the team, the new season will definitely give newcomers more opportunities to train and grow.

When it comes to Bill's joining, Coach Lu seems to be extremely excited. "Bill is a great player, once the league's scoring champion, and a trustworthy scorer. His diverse scoring methods and rich game experience are exactly what the team needs. His arrival will make Harden and Leonard more relaxed. You should know what an incredible player Harden is, and his magical magic will help Bill play at a higher level. Looking forward to the wonderful performance of Harden and Bill in the team's competition."

Looking forward to the upcoming new season, Coach Lu is full of confidence in the team. "Fans are saying that our team is older, but this is our advantage. Years of game experience and ability to read games have made the team more efficient. While maintaining the defensive oppression of last season, we carefully studied the rotation tactical arrangements to reduce the regular season consumption of the main players. A healthy Clippers will become a difficult opponent for any championship team." The transaction of the Clippers management in the offseason was perfectly successful. Not only did it strengthen the team's shortcomings in a targeted manner and strengthen the team's strength, but it also successfully avoided taxes and achieved the team's offseason goal. The healthy Clippers definitely have a certain level of championship victory. Of course, the team's lineup is still a little lacking in depth. The main players are older, and their past injuries are also huge hidden dangers. How to maintain the health of the team is the core issue.

The Galaxy Battleship is about to set sail again! Whether this team that carries the expectations of countless fans can ride the wind and waves to reach the other side of their dreams, let’s wait and see in the new season!
