Lost 4 in the last 7 games! The Clippers quadruple core is a paper tiger? Tyronn Lue is crazy about trial and error, and the loss is intentional

With the arrival of February, many strong teams have begun to work hard for the record, such as the Warriors and Lakers, these playoff teams, they all want to improve the rankings, throughout February so far the Warriors have a total of 9 wins and 3 losses, the Lakers are not bad, they have a 7-3 record, in addition to the defending champions have also shown their fangs, they have recently relied on a wave of consecutive wins to reach the top three positions in the division.

Now the reason why the teams in the West must fight every game is because they know how fierce the competition in the West is this season, as Pierce said: except for the Nuggets, no one dares to guarantee that they can advance in the first round of the West, so in this case, home court advantage is particularly critical, after all, the gap between the first and eighth in the West is very small, and now the difference between the first and eighth wins in the West is even smaller than the difference between the first and second in the East, which does seem outrageous, and this also shows how fierce the competition in the West is.

Almost every team in the West is fighting every game, but there is one team that has surprised recently, and they are the Clippers, who have had the best record in the league in the past period, and they are generally considered to be the team that has the ability to challenge for the championship, and they have even beaten the favorites such as the Celtics and Nuggets, but their record has been falling off a cliff recently, and they have lost four of their last seven games.

As a championship-level team, and at such a critical moment as February, the Clippers not only did not advance in the torrent, but also had a decline is really surprising, what is the reason for their decline? Maybe many friends who often follow the Clippers game will say that it is because of George's injury, and indeed in terms of recent performance, George has not reached the level that a core should have, scoring 14 points in two consecutive games in the last three games, and missing one game.

George's poor form can indeed be used as a reason for the Clippers' failure, after all, he is the player with the most spatial ability of the Clippers, responsible for a lot of three-point shooting on the team, and also undertakes the task of defending the opponent's core, but I think the reason for the recent Clippers' successive losses is not only George's injury, but even George's injury is not the most critical problem, the most critical problem is Tyronn Lue's attempt.

Take the past 7 games as an example, the recent games against the Timberwolves and Thunder, in the third quarter Tyronn Lue inexplicably dropped Harden, the Clippers at that time were still inseparable from the opponent, and as a result, Harden's offense was paralyzed as soon as he played, and the Timberwolves and Thunder also seized the opportunity to establish the lead and win, after all, these two teams are the top two teams in the West, show them your weaknesses, and the result can be imagined.

In addition, in today's game against the Kings, the team relied on Wei Shao's play in the fourth quarter, and the Clippers chased only 5 points, but Tyronn Lue suddenly fell off Wei Shao, and the team collapsed again, because of frequent substitution mistakes, so Tyronn Lue has become a verbal critic in the near future, but is the reality really that Tyronn Lue's coaching ability is limited? Everyone knows Tyronn Lue's coaching resume, he led the Cavaliers to a 1-3 deficit in 16 years, and also led George to the Western Conference Finals.

There is no problem with this kind of coaching ability, the reason why Tyronn Lue did this is intentional, his coaching method has always been very simple and rude, that is, to present all the problems and solve them one by one, which is why when the four cores were just formed in the team, they suffered 5 consecutive defeats, but then the team ushered in a winning streak, and now Tyronn Lue is also doing this, it can be said that the Clippers have begun to look at the playoffs.

They dared to let George rest already shows that the team has given up the fight for the regular season standings, the team's record in the previous period was the first in the league in the same period, they already know how strong they are, and the team has also found their key lineup: Denka Pepper Wibaugh, so now the team is trying to stay healthy, and then find a more suitable lineup, after all, in the playoffs will meet all kinds of strong teams, such as small lineup strong teams, there will also be strong teams on the inside, these want to deal with.

This is the reason why Tyronn Lue has frequently tried the lineup recently, and it has also made Harden and Westbrook less ball-handling, they do this to reduce the number of people who are targeted by the pinch shots, Tyronn Lue is so crazy trial and error just to have more preparation in the playoffs, and there is no problem with their current losses being intentional, after all, these losses are acceptable to the team, the Clippers are now fourth in the West, they are 2.5 wins away from the first Timberwolves, and 4 wins away from the fifth Kings.

Therefore, it is difficult for the Clippers to slip down the rankings, and it is difficult to improve, and when the team's ranking does not fluctuate much, trial and error is the best choice.
