The NBA regular season is in full swing, and today the Los Angeles Clippers away to challenge the Orlando Magic back-to-back. The day before, the Clippers had completed a 35-point super comeback, setting a tie for the second-largest point difference since 1996-97. And today's game, the Clippers reversed again, this time it was a 14-point reversal. It was the Clippers' fifth double-digit deficit reversal in January and the Clippers' ninth double-digit reversal of the season.
At present, the Clippers' record has reached 25 wins and 25 losses, ranking eighth in the West, overpowering the Lakers in the same city. Although they were missing two stars, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, they did not give up the season. It seems that from the beginning, the Los Angeles Clippers team has not been simple.
Without Leonard, the Clippers could leapfrog the Jazz and play six games against the Suns, demonstrating the team's rich reserves of ball-holding resources. I thought last season's Los Angeles Clippers were miserable enough, but this season, the Clippers have suffered more difficulties than last season. Originally the deepest forward line in the league, Leonard, George, and Morris Jr. all suffered injuries, and none of them remained healthy. In other words, the current Clippers are a standard set of remnants. The absence of a double core, the absence of another main player, and the lack of three main players in one team, such a team will logically choose to be rotten.
But under the leadership of Tyrone Lu, the Clippers have played an extremely good performance, and even the current record can surpass the city rivals, with James, Thick Brow and Westbrook's Big Three Lakers. Because of this, many fans praised Lu's guidance.
Once upon a time, Director Lu was always considered to only give the ball to James, which was controversial, but in the playoffs last season, Leonard was reimbursed for the season, and the Clippers reached the division finals under the guidance of Lu, although in the end, despite the unfortunate defeat, Tyrone Lu has proved his coaching ability.
Today, the Clippers completed another 14-point reversal, coupled with yesterday's 35-point reversal, this remnant Clippers team proved their strength, even without Leonard and George, they are still trying to impact the playoffs. In October-December, they achieved a total of four double-digit reversals, while this month, they have completed five double-digit reversals, which means that the Clippers have completed nine double-digit reversals this season so far.
This season's Heat, their bench players in the absence of Butler, Adebayo and other stars, relying on teamwork and iron spirit, consecutive victories over the Suns, Bulls, Bucks and other strong teams, waiting for the main player to return, they have now jumped to the top of the Eastern Conference. The Clippers and heat are very similar, and their main players have been absent for a while, but they have not been decadent and passive, on the contrary, they have maintained a high morale, and when the main force returns, their strength will be even higher.
