Just today, the Los Angeles Clippers defeated the visiting Thunder 127-105, and in this game, Clippers owner Kawaii Leonard played 34 minutes, shooting 13 of 15 with 32 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals, while Russell Westbrook, a former MVP triple-double who came shortly after the transfer, had 24 points, 2 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 block.
Paul George's injury made many people think that the Clippers would be in trouble, but when it was unexpected, Wei Shao seemed to have returned to the factory for overhaul!
Since joining the Clippers, Larss has gradually established himself in the Clippers, and he is now more like the third in command of the team, and Russ himself has said: he will bring everyone together in the locker room and try to get out of the situation!
What is it? In fact, that's what a leader does! In fact, let's look at another set of data, that is, Wei Shao's rebounds, except for the March 20 against the Blazers he "unintentionally" got 12 rebounds, the rest of the data is double-double! Combined with the performance on the field, we clearly realized that Russ has changed!
'I think Lars has changed and of course that's the result of the work of manager Taryn Lue! Former All-Star Jalen Ross said: "I think the biggest change for him is that he has strengthened his defense on the outside! ”
"In the past, he was always close to the basket, which made the defensive lineup often take the other out of the other! This is also the technical defect that Russ cannot show his true strength everywhere ...! Jalen-Ross continued: "On the pitch, you want to do all the work well, that's good, but you know, even the great LeBron James can't do his best, how can you do it...? ”
"And now, I've looked closely at Lars's performance with the Clippers, and he's really getting more and more integrated into the team," Rose continued, "I think the Clippers are the biggest bargain they've picked up this season!" ”
From my observations, and what Rose sees, Russ is no longer young, Lu found his password, I think the Clippers are at least in the Western Conference Finals, do you doubt that?
