The NBA's unpredictable team, hiding injuries and causing team turmoil! Are you still planning to win the championship?

The NBA regular season came to an end, and through the play-offs, the Lakers in the West and the 76ers in the East successfully won the seventh seed in the division. This season, with the rapid rise of the new generation of Edwards and Alexander, the Lakers led by James, the Warriors led by Curry, and the Suns where Durant is located have been squatting in the play-off area for a long time. In the end, the Warriors went out early, and the Lakers and Suns caught the last train. In my opinion, it's a good thing that the Lakers met the Nuggets in the first round, and it's better than a crash in the last minute of the game after running out of energy in the Western Conference finals. The Suns got the best position in the West, facing the Timberwolves in the first round and the Nuggets in the second round, but the Suns are not afraid. The Clippers, another super giant team in the West, started to rest early in the closing stage because they locked in fourth early.

Looking back at the overall performance of the Clippers this season, after six consecutive losses when Harden first came, the Clippers won more than 80% in December and January, once 26-5, and also topped the first place in the West on February 7! But since then, the Clippers have plummeted, maintaining a winning rate of about 5 percent, but fortunately, they finally stabilized the fourth place in the West. First of all, one thing is for sure, with the arrival of Harden, both Carl Jr. and George have attendance rates of more than 8 percent, and the burden on them has been reduced, especially the organizational pressure. Secondly, Tyronn Lue and Rivers Sr. have similarities, both are reluctant to let Harden control the ball too much and play at a slow pace, which has Harden's own reasons to restrain his shots, on the other hand, Tyronn Lue is also enriching playoff tactics and giving George more space to hold the ball. But when the playoffs were about to begin, an injury caused turmoil on the team.

Clippers reporter Eisnashari complained: In the summer of '21, after the Western Conference playoffs semifinals, the Clippers 2-2 Jazz, Xiaoka said in an interview that he was fine, and he told his teammates in private. But at that time, he had already torn his cruciate ligament and was reimbursed for the season! Regarding the news of Kawai, never publish anything specific! The last game of Xiaoka was against the Hornets on April 1, and after that, he suffered from knee inflammation and was out indefinitely! During this period, the Clippers repeatedly released smoke bombs, including Tyronn Lue confirmed that Xiaoka had begun some shooting drills, and the reporters accompanying the team also expressed optimism that he could play in the first round of the playoffs. But the president responded directly: the inflammation is unpredictable, and he would love to play, but everything is unknown.

Even celebrities like Charania and Woj, who have a wide network of people in the circle, can't catch it. The Clippers are maintaining the balance of the scales to the outside world, and the outside world reports good news, but the Clippers directly deny it; but judging from Tyronn Lue's remarks, Xiaoka's injury does not seem to be so serious, who is right? The key is that Tyronn Lue himself is saying that Xiaoka is not here, and it is difficult for us to play a small lineup. He also wants Xiaoka to play! Tyronn Lue's original words are that the playoffs must ensure that everyone gives their all! From the complaints of the reporters accompanying the team, to the president's various refuting of the good news, to Tyronn Lue's somewhat vacillating and ambiguous attitude, not to mention the outside world, it is estimated that even Harden and George do not know the specific situation of Xiaoka's injury. This is not without precedent, and in the summer of '21, George said he really didn't know.

To put it mildly and realistically, this may not be a contradiction, but it is already a turmoil within the team. A big premise: no matter whether the small card can be played or not, the Lone Ranger must be ready to play the small card, and this kind of smoke bomb is ineffective. Secondly, there is no small card, the Clippers are two teams, let's take an example: at the end of December last year, the small card was suddenly injured and absent, and as a result, the Clippers first lost to the Thunder by 19 points, and then lost to the Celtics by 37 points! When the small card came back, the Clippers could easily beat the Thunder by 11 points, and then beat the Celtics in the third quarter, and finally won by 19 points! Harden's strategy + control strategy, George's projection to open up the space includes holding the ball to attack the frame, and the small card can attract most of the opponent's attention, especially on the defensive end. If the Clippers have a small card is a 95-point team, no small card is up to 80 points.

After leading the Raptors to a championship in the summer of '19, he landed with George on the Los Angeles Clippers, who are an annual offseason champion. At the same time, a healthy Xiaoka must be the most dominant supergiant in the playoffs, and he can even remove one of them, but has he ever been healthy in the playoffs? These are also put aside, just regarding the specific news of Xiaoka's injury, if his coaching staff and teammates are confused, who will hurt him? With the arrival of Harden, the Clippers have indeed raised the lower limit this season, but only the small card that determines the Clippers' ceiling, without George, will not be Harden, who is looking forward to winning the championship with the small card. Although the words are ugly, the Clippers have become the most unpredictable team in the NBA, especially in the playoffs, which is too unstable!

In my opinion, Leonard's injury is not that serious, but the reason why it has caused turmoil in the team once again is based on a history of injuries. But this time the small card team is wrong, they can hide the injury, but if the teammates are kept in the dark, then the most passive is not the opponent, this year is the best window to win the championship! Harden has said many times that he is willing to sacrifice everything in order to win the championship, and he also knows the real goal of coming to the Clippers, and Harden really does not have much time! As for Leonard, if he really wants to lead the team to win the championship, the first thing is to unite as one, and if he can't do this, the bamboo basket will be empty.
