Last season without Leonard and George in his long absence, Tyronn Lue managed the Clippers in good order, leading the team to complete major comebacks in the top eight for a long time, which made him highly praised. But this season, his reputation has taken a sharp turn, and fans often complain about his formation. He obviously has abundant forward resources, but like Hamm, he is obsessed with using a small lineup with multiple defenders, reusing Reggie Jackson, who is not in good form, and abandoning Covington, all of which have made him controversial.
The Clippers suffered six straight losses before today, an unacceptable result for the favorites to be the Clippers. Tyronn Lu is in his throat, he knows that it is time to change, otherwise not only the fans will be dissatisfied, the loss will be more, the players have negative emotions, the locker room will also have problems, once the boss and the top management are unhappy, his coach said that the class will be over.
Tyronn Lue desperately needed a victory to stop the bleeding in time to stabilize the situation. Playing the Lone Ranger, he knew that he and the Clippers had no way to retreat, but victory and defeat.
I have to say that Tyronn Lue is really a "strange", when he has a group of forwards that the league fears, but he likes to play a suicide small lineup of three guards and four guards; When the team lacks major generals and can only play with remnants, he can always turn decay into magic, strategize, and know how to make good use of people.
Tyronn Lue's inner monologue: Don't hide it! With too many cards in my hand, too good a situation, too many leads, I won't play. It's still a stubble or a backward team, which stimulates my potential more.
Tyronn Lue dropped Reggie today and enabled Covington.
Why was Reggie deprecated? Because he plays unreasonably. It is clear that this season is not in good condition, but he still goes his own way, cannot sort out the team's attack, and as the core of the team's defender, he is always impulsive and not calm enough, and will ignore his teammates on the field. He repeatedly ignored George's ball, forced shots against the defense, and shot unreasonably. Offensive efficiency is also not high, only 108.3, ranking 235th in the league. There are still many mistakes.
Reggie's poor form and Tyronn Lue's ability to give him a lot of time and shots as manager caused displeasure among fans. Now Tyronn Lue has also made up his mind, made a change, and put his henchman Reggie on the bench.
Covington was previously abandoned by Tyronn Lue many times, with an annual salary of tens of millions, no illness or injury, but fell out of the rotation. This has also led fans to question Tyronn Lue's hiring.
Tyronn Lue is using Covington again today. He played 31 minutes, shot 4 of 8, scored 9 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block, plus or minus +13, beating Leonard and the second highest on the team. His scrambling rebounds, excellent defensive ability, and game awareness have all helped the Clippers a lot.
Tyronn Lu will be able to use the formation like this today, with a forward group that is the envy of the league, and what kind of four defenders to play? Your resource must make Laker Ham envious to death.
