$198 million in 4 years!No. 1 in the league!The injury of the dynastic terminator was exposed, and it was difficult for the Western giants to do anything
The NBA regular season is all over, the play-off battle is about to begin, and the playoff battle is also about to start! In the four groups of matchups that have been determined, the Mavericks VS Clippers, the Suns VS Timberwolves, the Bucks VS Pacers, the Cavaliers VS the Magic team, and the Mavericks and the Clippers This group of strong matchups has attracted much attention! On the one hand, this group of matchups gathered Doncic, Irving, Xiaoka, George, Harden, On the other hand, the two teams have met twice in the past five years, with the Clippers winning both of them, and the Mavericks are eager for revenge. The Los Angeles Clippers have created a big four combination of small cards, George, Harden, and Wei Shao, and if they don't compete for the championship, they will fail, and they will harden the Mavericks led by the Eastern European combination in the first round, and they will not tolerate any mistakes! For the Clippers, the injury of the small card is a huge hidden danger, and it also directly determines the fate of the Clippers.
With 198 million US dollars in 4 years, the small truck is moving forward
Xiaoka is the most alternative supergiant of this era, there is no scoring champion and no MVP, but he is a dynasty terminator by word of mouth - in 2014, he led the Spurs to kill the dream of the Heat dynasty for three consecutive championships, and in 2019, he led the Raptors to deprive the Warriors dynasty of three consecutive championships, and two golden championship trophies and two FMVP trophies are the best footnotes to Xiaoka's brilliant career. Since Xiaoka and George joined hands with the Clippers in 2019, the Clippers have carried the championship dream of the richest man Ballmer, but due to many uncertain factors such as injuries, they have been reduced to offseason champions again and again, and Xiaoka has also been questioned!
Until the beginning of this season, the Clippers introduced Harden to assist the Ka Pepper combination, and the Western giants team once again ignited the championship dream, Boss Bao was rich and capricious, and once again gave Xiaoka an early contract renewal worth 3 years and 152 million US dollars, counting Xiaoka's salary of 45.64 million US dollars this season, Xiaoka will take away 198 million US dollars in salary from the Clippers in the next 4 years! For Xiaoka, who has reached the age of 32, this early renewal contract is the Clippers' recognition of him, and it is also the Clippers' whipping and expectation of him- Boss Bao needs Xiaoka to put aside his worries and go all out to lead the team to the championship, and Xiaoka also needs to move forward with a heavy load, regain the style of a dynasty terminator, and silence the doubters.
No. 1 in the league, the injury of the dynastic terminator was exposed
In the new season, the Clippers have a 51-31 record, ranking fourth in the West, more than the upper and lower than the bottom. In the words of Clippers coach Tyronn Lue, it is not easy to get home-court advantage in the 4th place in the West with such fierce competition, and it also means that the players and coaching staff have paid a lot! In the process, Wei Shao made sacrifices, Harden put away his edge, George did the dirty work, the Clippers generals are all for me and I am for everyone, and Xiaoka also played the best season of his Clippers career! Xiaoka played a total of 68 games for the Clippers (a new career high for the Clippers), averaging 23.7 points + 6.1 rebounds + 3.6 assists + 1.6 steals + per gameHe shot 2.1 three-pointers from the field at a career-high 52.5 percent, 41.7 percent from three-point range, 88.5 percent from the free-throw line, and 62.6 percent from the field.
According to statistics from the NBA's official website, among all players who score more than 200 points in singles in the new season, Xiaoka can score 1.2 points per single, ranking first in the league, beating Harden (1.13 points), Alexander (1.11 points), DeRozan (1.11 points), Murray (1.1 points), Doncic (1.09 points) and Irving (1.08 points). There is no doubt that the small card is the strongest trump card of the Clippers. However, at the end of the regular season, the injury problem found Xiaoka again, and Xiaoka missed the last eight games of the regular season due to a knee injury! Just today, Xiaoka's injury was exposed! According to NBA Woshen, Xiaoka's knee is inflamed. At the same time, NBA celebrity Chris followed up with a report, and sources revealed that Xiaoka's knee was very swollen, and the Clippers were worried about it!
If the confidentiality card does not fight an unprepared battle, it is difficult for the western giants to do anything
Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said bluntly about the injury of the small card: Of course, we hope that the small card can play in the first round of the playoffs G1, but even if things seem to be going in the right direction at the moment, we still can't guarantee that the small card will be ready to return for the first round of the playoffs G1. In the words of the fans, this is the confidential card that we were once familiar with and complained about, and the confidentiality work is too good! From the start of the first round of the playoffs, the card will be suspended for 21 consecutive days, which is enough to show two things: first, the Clippers know how important Xiaoka's health is, and they can't rush and don't want to take risks;
With a healthy card, the Clippers are the favorites to compete for the championship, and they are not afraid of the Mavericks led by the Eastern European group; without a healthy card, whether the Clippers can pass the Mavericks must be a big question mark! I don't know if Xiaoka can return in time and healthy, and I don't know if Xiaoka can regain the dominance of the machine god of war after playing directly in the high-intensity playoffs after a long time, but one thing is certain, the glory of the dynasty terminator belongs to the past, and Xiaoka needs to return healthy to lead the Clippers to create a brilliant future! If Xiaoka's knee can't recover to the level before the injury, it will be difficult for this Western giants team to do anything! Fans and friends, what do you think about this?
