It is estimated that no one can think of the Lakers who have been greatly reinforced in the offseason, in the case of more than half of the season, the record is almost the same as that of the Clippers, the city's little brother who lacks soldiers, as of now, the Lakers are ranked eighth in the West with a record of 22 wins and 23 losses, and the Clippers are ranked 9th with a record of 22 wins and 24 losses, and the two sides have only 0.5 gaps. Although both sides swallowed the defeat today, but the Lakers, who are more luxurious than the lineup, were reversed by the third-to-last Pacers in the East today, and the lack of George, Leonard, and Batum and Morris Jr. were also sidelined Clippers, who could only lose 2 points in today's showdown with the Nuggets, which is even more valuable.
This season the Clippers can be described as ill-fated, first Leonard received a high probability of season reimbursement for knee surgery in the offseason, followed by the second boss George also because of the elbow injury return date is undecided, the lack of two core main players, but the tenacious Clippers did not give in, but under the leadership of the ghost coach Tyronelu, played team basketball, today's away game against the Nuggets, the whole team has a total of 10 players to get the opportunity to appear, and each player has a score in the account, Under the organization of Reggie Jackson (28 points, 3 rebounds and 12 assists), Zubac also did not lose the wind against Jokic, an All-Star interior, and he scored a career-high 32 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block on 15-of-19 shooting in the whole game, single-handedly supporting the team's box.
It is worth mentioning that Zubac was the lakers who gave up at the beginning, in 19 years, the Lakers packed Zubac and Beasley back from the Clippers, this seemingly innocuous deal, but Zubac became the Clippers after the focus of the internal rotation, in the summer of 19 he also got a 4-year 28 million renewal from the Clippers, in order to prove the value of his existence. And this time, under the good use of Tyronelu's knowledge, Zubac also played a career-best 9.2 points and 8 rebounds this season. And the topic back to the Clippers themselves, the last game they were also facing the Pacers, but in the end they were able to defeat the opponent with 6 points, and this time facing the Last Lakers fiasco of 37 points, the Nuggets, also only lost with 2 points, but also let people inevitably begin to think, if the current Lakers and Clippers usher in a head-to-head confrontation, who will laugh at the end, it is really difficult to say.
Unlike the Lakers and James, Westbrook, the two All-Stars, the current Clippers basically only rely on Reggie Jackson alone to support, but they are not weak to show tenacity, and it is really worth the Lakers' group of "untamed" big names to learn well, if the Clippers rank higher than the Lakers this season, it is not surprising at all!
