There are two kinds of people in this world, those who like Wei Shao and those who don’t like Wei Shao, and those who don’t like more.
There are still two kinds of people in this world. Those who are optimistic about the Clippers and look at the decaying Clippers always look at the decline more.
Now, those who don’t like Wei Shao and those who come to see the Clippers finally have a chance to become the majority of unity, because Wei Shao has completed the buyout and promised to sign a contract with the Clippers.
So, what is the prospect of weishao in the Clippers? Does the Clippers have a chance to win the championship?
In the Clippers, the arrival of weishao will not set off the “big three” reaction. First, the Lakers have been disappointed once. Second, because this is the Clippers, next door to the Lakers.
I often say that the best way to predict and judge in NBA is to look down. For example, it is difficult for you to predict the championship, but it is easy to say that this team is not good and that team is not. This is because there is only one championship, and the probability of success for you to pick out the championship in 30 teams is 1/30, about 3.3 percent, but if you look down on a team, said it couldn’t win the championship, the success rate was 29/30, about%.
So I decided to watch the Clippers, and I couldn’t win the championship even if I joined weishao.
Before Wei Shao came, watching the loser Clippers was a very safe choice for two reasons: first, the Clippers had no champion culture, never won the championship, and the team management was very bad in history; Second, there are too many injuries on the Clippers, which have been the case for several generations, from the era of Paul to the era of double stars.
After Wei Shao came, he could still see the decaying Clippers, because Wei Shao bought out the contract, while there were not many successful players who bought out the contract in history.
Distant people are like Marbury in 2009 and Bibi in 2011. Marbury and Nick of New York had a deep complaint and finally bought out the contract at the age of 30. He was still able to fight at that time, so he joined the defending team of the “three giants” of the Green Army halfway in 1999, he played the last 23 games in the regular season, but the average score was only 3.8 points. The average score was 4.3 points in the two rounds of the playoffs, and the Green Army was out. Bibi was so powerful in the Kings team that he couldn’t do it after 30 years old. In 2011, he was bought out in the Wizards team at the age of 32 and joined the hot fire “three Giants”. They needed Bibi’s three points. Although it was quite accurate in the regular season, the shooting rate in the playoffs turned sharply. The finals only scored five points and the last game was abandoned.
Close people like Drummond in 2021, last year’s Goran Dragic. After Drummond asked the Cavaliers to buy out, he went to the Lakers to force him to play the main force. He could play 12+10 in 21 regular season games, but because he did not shoot three points, the inside line was crowded, after two games in the playoffs, the effect was reduced, and it was also abandoned in the last battle. The Lakers were out in the first round. After being bought out by the Raptors in Goran Dragic, basketable nets cheered and the team finally got a pure point guard, but he was 35 years old and failed to save basketable nets. He was out in the first round.
An old player who has been bought out is usually quite famous, because if it is not famous, the contract will not be guaranteed. Just cut it directly. However, if the old star is bought out, there must be fatal defects. It is either old or injured, or the technology has serious defects.
Beverly’s fatal defect is age, nearly 35 years old, and height, only 185. The first reason why Lefort was bought out was his age. He was only two months younger than Beverly. The second was that the young structure in the team had been built and his position was lost.
But there is still oil in these two tanks. Beverly is a fighter who is good at biting. Leford used to be a space-type insider, and now he still keeps the three-point hit rate above 35%. The Cavaliers were reluctant to Le Fu, but they didn’t want to delay him. They also promised to hang their jerseys on the ceiling in the future. Beverly and Lefort are both needed by the heat. In the past three years, they have reached the east and the finals, but they are always a little worse. One is that the outside line is not tough enough, second, Adebayor has no external projection.
Compared with these two, if the ball wind is in tune, the energy is obviously much larger. In George’s words:
“Around Wei Shao, we have enough projection, so Wei Shao can be Wei Shao. I think he will be very open in front of him and have enough space for him. I have always trusted weishao very much and appreciated his ability. I played one of my best seasons in the two years of playing with him and witnessed his Ability Day after day, I believe he can play many excellent games.
“As soon as I talk about Wei Shao, my heart will favor him and think he can really improve our team. He has enough talent and is good at rebounding and finding people to make it easier for others to play. I believe that after he comes, he will easily blend in. He will understand how we fight and make adjustments.”
Before the All-Star weekend, the Clippers won two consecutive victories, winning 33 games and ranking third in the West. Before the introduction of weishao, the Clippers had already traded Reggie Jackson and wall, in exchange for center plamley, guard Gordon and guard land. After Wei Shao entered the team, the first thing worth paying attention to was whether he played the first or the substitute.
Wei Shao gave up starting in the Lakers, but it doesn’t mean that he has to play a substitute when he arrives at the Clippers.
This season, the Lakers have used 30 different starting sets, and there are many Clippers next door. They have used 21 sets, of which two are the most used starting sets: zubatz/Little Mo/Leonard/George/Reggie, zubatz/Little Mo/Leonard/George/Mann. The biggest difference between these two sets is that Mann replaced Reggie.
Mann is not a point guard, but he is tall, good at defense, and scored generally. The reason for abandoning Reggie with Mann is that everyone’s organization and attack are not very good. It is better to choose a better defense. Now weishao is coming. There is a set of pushing and passing, so it is better to choose a better organization between ball control and defense. Therefore, Wei is rarely likely to enter the starting line and replace Mann. Mann went to play the substitute, to be George’s B- angle, and Highland’s B- angle. If one of the double stars is injured and cannot be beaten, Mann will go back to the starting line directly.
Between the heat and the Clippers, weishao must choose the Clippers. You don’t have to think about it. This is called “no brainer”. If it is appropriate, he may retire here.
The most important reason is that weishao doesn’t want to leave Los Angeles. His home is here. Before the Clippers moved to Inglewood, weishao drove to work and entered the museum, which was no different from before. The difference was that after walking in the door and turning the corner, he went to the Lakers’ dressing room for a while, now I have to go further to the Clippers dressing room. Also, the dressing room of the Clippers is slightly smaller than that of the Lakers.
The advantages of weishao are still advantages, while the disadvantages are still there. There are also two stars with high ball holding rate here. He will still be released empty-handed. But the pressure of Wei Shao became smaller and the team’s record was better. His goal is to make the Clippers succeed in the playoffs and then finish the renewal of the next contract naturally in summer. Ballmer is really not bad money.
The Clippers always give people hope and then keep disappointed, from Paul’s era to double star era. Therefore, everyone can continue to watch the decaying Clippers.
I pretended to look at the loser Clippers as well. In fact, in my heart, I still think they are one of the thickest teams in the lineup and have a promising future this year.
