The Clippers are really having fun this season, and the second round of the playoffs is their goal

The more I analyze, the more I feel that the Clippers are no longer good. This is just because we are still using the previous thinking to make conclusions about a lineup. In fact, modern basketball has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to before. Others are playing the role of unlimited switching inside, double towers, three high space C, big ball handlers, and youthful storms. It’s really difficult to play retro basketball with a bunch of old stuff behind you.
There are too many loopholes in the broken boat and it’s too obvious. The more you analyze it in detail, the worse it becomes. Zuba himself is slow. Who will protect the frame when he goes out to the inside? Collins's rim protection level is average, but not to mention the likes of Kawhi Jones who has two meters of bare feet to defend against the impact of big forwards at the basket. Others like Dunn Jones are only dragged down by defensive offense. Bogdan's offense is unstable and everyone shouts about it, not to mention some old players. Alas, I think it's better to practice your Haoze.
After watching the first game, let’s talk about the Clippers’ problems. 1 The most important thing is that Lu didn’t clarify who is the main attacker. To put it bluntly, the team boss doesn’t know who it is now. Looking at the historical strong teams, it is necessary to identify 1 main attacker, and at most 2. Including the 90s and 2000s... Wade did not make sacrifices in the first year of the Heat’s Big Three. The offense was also very messy.

Including the current strong team Thunder. The team leader averages about 30 points per game. The last time he averages about 25 points. Without a main attacker, the championship is won. Except for the 05 Pistons "But their defense is the best in history" 2. After losing weight, I can't guard the tall No. 4 position. It's better to let Harden defend Kawhi. I don't think Kawhi can even touch Kanin's head, let alone interfere with shooting. This is the second reason for today's collapse.
3 The third reason is the attitude problem. A few consecutive service errors without any reason... You can't beat any team you encounter... Bill will be dropped from the starting lineup. It may be a bit early to say this now... I feel that he will be dropped sooner or later. If you don't believe it, just take a look. Being the best sixth man... averaging 16 to 18 points per game... is not a bad idea. Point guard Harden. Shooting guard Kawhi Kawhi. Small forward Jones Jr.. Power forward Collins. Center Zubac.. Best Sixth Man Bill... You have to defend and defend. You have to attack and attack..
The Clippers are really happy this season. The second round of the playoffs is the goal. I have never seen such an old team go far. Although I am a die-hard Deng brother fan, I can't say that Deng brother has a chance to enter the finals this year.

It's not even a little bit worse than a strong team like the Thunder. A team full of old men and basically no young people, which violates the laws of basketball development, is best at the second round level of the playoffs. Let’s take a look at your feelings this year! It feels like Brother Deng may really never have the chance to win the championship in this life!
I suddenly thought of something, whether using a heavy non-shooting center as the basic core of the team is originally an inverse version. First of all, this is not to say that a heavy center is useless. If he comes up at the right time, he will definitely be very good, and he can also provide strong frame protection and low offensive capabilities.
However, a team with a heavy center as the core of the team must be on the court for a long time, so can this reverse version of the lineup go far? A little observation shows that among the championship teams and leagues in recent years, there are no teams built with heavy inside giants as the core. In order to make up for the inside situation, Harteng was signed, but Harteng is just a plug-in, which can be used to deal with special circumstances.

He is not included in the decisive lineup. Needless to say, Mr. Yue has the ability to shoot, and his organizational and offensive abilities are enough to make up for his shortcomings. In the Bucks, Daluo has Alphabet, a defensive monster, to help him clean up.
As for the Clippers, Zubac is the underlying logic of the Clippers' offense, so you have to put him on the court a lot. A very serious result is that the defensive power on the outside has plummeted. After the starting lineup is adjusted to Bill and Dunn is removed for the new season, this vulnerability will be even more exposed.
