Since Anthony Davis switched to the Los Angeles Lakers, the owner of the empty slash group has been vacant for a long time.
The alliance has appeared several air slash deputy group leaders,
For example, Kemba Walker lost by 60 points, Devon Booker and Westbrook lost 30+ teams with 13 and 12 points in a single season, respectively.
None of this year's George was so miserable.
(George's Loneliness)
Let's take a look at the statistics of George's first 5 games at the beginning of this year:
Clippers vs Warriors: George had 29 points, 11 boards and 6 assists the Clippers lost
Clippers vs Grizzlies: George had 41 points, 11 boards and 4 assists the Clippers lost
Clippers vs Trail Blazers: George scored 16 points, 5 assists and 8 losses The Clippers won
Clippers vs Cavaliers: George had 12 points and 10 rebounds the Clippers lost
Clippers vs Trail Blazers: George had 42 points and eight rebounds The Clippers lost
5 games to cut 3 games! The only win won was eight steals.
Thinking about the 78 games left this season, George silently bowed his head.
(George Single-Core Hard-Rigid Sun)
Think of the just-concluded playoffs, after the Kawaii season reimbursement, Paul George carried the team all the way to the Western Conference Finals, do you really believe that this is a player with a broken leg?
Since it is difficult to win with such performances, or even a reconstructed team like the Cavaliers, how do players need to perform to win?
The tactical genius Tyrone Lue replied: We can't rely too much on George.
(Lu's director has tactics in mind)
However, the team's other core Kawaii Leonard, because of the torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, is likely to be completely reimbursed this season.
Then Director Lu expects who can stand up.
Is it the young Zubac, or the old Ibaka, the long-gone Blood Cloth and Reggie?
In fact, the team's current predicament can be seen in the summer offseason.
Due to trading operations in previous years, this year the Clippers have no salary space, no draft picks, and no trading chips.
The biggest move this season was to renew Kawaii's contract.
This summer, Leonard signed a 4-year, $176.3 million contract with the Clippers, and did not play infernal affairs anymore, nor did he sign a 1+1 with the Clippers' taste. This allows the team to quickly recover from the playoff losses and clarify the team's construction plan for the next 3 to 4 years.
(Double Star)
But Kawaii has been 31, Paul George 32, Ibaka Blood Brege Maurice Batum and others are also veterans.
The team's core age is too high because of the Clippers' hard injury.
In the next few years, even if George and Leonard can maintain their peak form like James or Paul, the team's puzzle pieces are not guaranteed to maintain their combat strength at all times.
Not to mention that next year will return with another major injury and is 32 years old Kawaii.
Even he did not have the confidence to continue to sign 1+1, and chose to sign a long-term contract for Ann.
The Spurs' little card was a thorn in the head, and the whole team couldn't understand even head coach Popovich.
The little card in the Raptors period is a Raptor, one person singles the world, and the head coach can win when he sleeps.
The Clippers' little card was a crew member who glided happily with the giant ship of the big man Ballmer.

The Clippers' way out
Although it is normal for the game to fluctuate, a momentary victory or defeat will not determine the playoffs next summer.
Not to mention that after years of playoff baptism, the Clippers are no longer a fish belly team.
But in the powerful West, it's really hard for the Clippers to get into the playoffs next year.
The Clippers need to keep their morale up and try to win every game. If the team still does not have any tendency to win before and after the Christmas war, it is estimated that the Clippers will choose to mess up and carry out a thorough cleanup of the team.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="23" > which was difficult for Ballmer to accept. </h1>
As the world's richest man, the Clippers have never been decompetitive since they bought the Clippers from their predecessor Sterling for $20 in cash.
Cash should be emphasized here.
(The Big Guy and Gates)
Sterling was allegedly reluctant to hand over the team and, under pressure from the league, imposed a self-imposed condition that the selling team could but need cash to refuse the deal.
Sterling, the little rich man, thinks that whoever has nothing to do will have 2 billion cash lying in the account, and the top rich Man Ballmer said I have.
The little rich man said in a daze, I want cash!
The top rich man said, I am talking about cash, now you can call the bank to let you confirm it.
Stirling...
After owning the Clippers, Ballmer's value has continued to increase.
(It's not hard to make money - big guy)
On March 2021, Ballmer ranked 9th on the Hurun Global Rich List with 518 billion yuan.
Let the boss spend billions of dollars to buy the team to mess up? It is better to let him buy it with the Lakers in the same city, and the province's daily watching the ball is angry.
Spending money is a small thing, as long as you can win.
It's just that the trading period is over.
Follow-up, but if it is not messed up, continue to let George play for his life, there is a great risk to George, to the future of the team.
(Completing a small goal in one day takes 14.2 years to reach the value of the big guy)
It was also difficult for George.
Ever since joining the league, George has been known as a tough guy.
(Paul George of the Walkers)
When he was young, the Heat, led by the Pacers, hardcore James Wade Bosh, was one of the few teams in the league at the time that could cause trouble for the "Heat Big Three" when the team's big brother Danny Granger was injured. As a result, it has also won the respect of the fans.
Later, he played for the country and participated in the Dream Team training tournament, and fractured his calf at 90 degrees. Then he returned to the field to stage a split, continued to perform at the peak, and let the whole league call "the return of the king".
By this year's playoffs, Xiao Ka led the team to the Western Conference Finals alone under the condition of reimbursement, completely dispelling the boos of the fans on the sidelines.
Failure was acceptable to George, but it was never allowed to fall.
Fight for it, George, if you really can't win the ball, just to make a comeback next season!
