One Thousand Two Hundred and Fifty: The Ultimate Clipper (3/5)
The grizzly bear slaughtering the Warriors is no longer enough for the major media to report it as big news.
After all, before playing against the Grizzlies, the Warriors' record of 2 wins and 12 losses already showed their level and positioning this season.
Before the Grizzlies, the Warriors had also been beaten badly by many teams such as the Spurs, Thunder and Clippers. This is not the first time they have lost by a big score this season.
It is normal for the Warriors to lose to the Grizzlies by a big score. If the Grizzlies win with great difficulty and the game is very anxious, then it would be abnormal.
And there is actually nothing to be ashamed of when the Warriors lose to the Grizzlies this season.
In fact, the Warriors' choice to fail this season is the choice that maximizes the team's interests.
The Warriors' bad performance is different from a truly bad team.
The core of the Warriors is there, it's just that they can't play for the time being. When Curry and Thompson return in the new season, the Warriors will immediately return to the championship.
Therefore, the Warriors do not need to go through a long rebuilding process. They only need to get a high draft pick this season to immediately strengthen the lineup.
Indeed, not all high-ranking rookies are guaranteed to perform well in their first year, let alone perform directly in the playoffs.
However, there is another use for high draft picks, which is to use their extremely high trade value in exchange for immediate combat effectiveness.
If the Warriors can trade that pick for a would-be superstar, the Warriors' lineup will become very scary again.
Next season, after Link is gone, the Warriors are definitely capable of going straight to the championship!
Therefore, the advantages of the Warriors choosing to play poorly this season outweigh the disadvantages. Since you can't compete with Link, just let it go and wait for Link to leave before fighting for the championship.
It only takes one season of depression, and it is very likely that the Warriors will be glorious again. This is definitely a sure profit.
Therefore, not only would the Warriors management not be unhappy about being slaughtered by the Grizzlies, they might even smile so hard that their mouths were crooked.
The more the Warriors lose now, the higher their odds of landing a high draft pick.
The higher the draft pick, the greater the trade value. Next season, the Warriors may become even stronger.
The warriors were massacred by grizzly bears,
It didn't create any waves in the league.
But the next day, there was another brutal massacre, but it seemed as if a depth charge was dropped in the alliance.
On November 20, one day after the Grizzlies slaughtered the Warriors, the Los Angeles Clippers faced the challenge of the Atlanta Hawks at home.
The strength gap between the two teams in this game is still very obvious. One team is the best team in the Western Conference, but the other team cannot even crack the top eight in the Eastern Conference.
Although the Hawks have many talented players such as super rookie Trae Young, this year's No. 4 pick DeAndre Hunter, No. 10 pick Cam Reddish, and John Collins.
But it still takes some time to wait for the talent to be realized. This season's Hawks are still rushing to the lottery area.
It stands to reason that this kind of game with a huge disparity in strength should not interest fans too much.
However, Staples was crowded tonight, and countless fans locked in on the game on their phones or computers.
The reason why this situation occurs is because today will be the first time Leonard and Paul George will play together this season!
The Clippers have never had a complete lineup until now this season.
In the first few games of the season, Paul George has not put on the Clippers jersey due to a shoulder injury.
After George finally returned, Leonard missed three more games due to left knee problems.
Therefore, the Clippers' strongest forward combination has never played together in a game.
Finally tonight, George and Leonard officially both returned, and the Clippers showed their complete lineup for the first time!
Their appearance is the reason why all fans are paying attention to this game today.
Many people believe that the Clippers specially arranged for the two to "combine" before the battle with the Grizzlies, just to warm up before the next game.
Of course, he also showed off his muscles in front of the grizzly bear.
As a result, Leonard and George did not disappoint the fans today.
Throughout the game, the Eagles were as overwhelmed as a college team.
Facing Leonard and George, two ball-handling killers, the Hawks' forward line was completely defenseless.
George and Leonard were like meat grinders, strangling the Hawks' young forwards into dregs.
Do you think George and Leonard are everything to the Clippers?
No, on the bench, the Grizzlies old players Harrell and Lou Williams made the Hawks lose their last vestige of confidence in resistance.
With the league's strongest forward combination and the league's strongest bench combination, the Clippers' strength was fully demonstrated in front of the Hawks.
In the end, the Clippers scored a humiliating score of 150 to 101!
The 49-point difference is even more exaggerated than the 41 points the Grizzlies created against the Warriors yesterday.
The record for the largest point difference of the season set by the Grizzlies last night was broken by the Clippers just 24 hours later.
George scored 37 points in the game. Although Leonard only had 25 points, he had 6 assists and 8 rebounds.
The power of this striker combination is evident.
How powerful is the Ultimate's ability to sail a ship? In this battle alone, the Clippers handed over the answer sheet.
"Poor Trae Young, he never imagined that his trip to Los Angeles would end like this."
"Too strong, too strong! George and Leonard are unstoppable, their power is beyond imagination!"
"150 points in a single game, is this really the NBA regular season!? Although the Rockets have scored higher points this season, they only defeated their opponents by 1 point in the end. But the Clippers are different. Confining the opponent's goals and scoring 150 points at the same time is simply unbelievable!"
The commentators in the Staples Center were all excited, and the NBA seemed to have reached its finale.
Although the Eagle is weak, the talent is there. In the previous 9 games lost, only two were by double digits. them
However, in the face of the Clippers' absolute strength, the Hawks' talent became worthless.
They are as fragile as an empty can.
The Clippers pinched the eagle gently, and the eagle flattened completely.
After the game, the entire league was in an uproar.
The Grizzlies' abuse of the Warriors did not cause any disturbance before, because that was the result that everyone expected.
But the Clippers' abuse of the Hawks was highly hyped by the media and fans.
Because no one could have imagined that the Clippers would play such a brutal game for the first time in their ultimate form.
Now, everyone is curious - what kind of sparks will happen when the ultimate Clippers meet the Grizzlies!
Luckily, fans will find out soon.
On November 23, the Grizzlies will be waiting for the visit of the Ultimate Clippers at FedEx Arena.
Leonard, who failed in the Finals last season, will also get a chance for revenge.
Can he defeat the Grizzlies after moving to Los Angeles? He would have his answer soon.
Last season, Leonard led a bunch of newcomers and a bunch of seniors and beat the Grizzlies 4-2.
This season, the strength of the Grizzlies lineup has declined, but the teammates around Leonard have become more than a little stronger.
"Facial paralysis man" believes that his own time may have really come!
After the game between the Clippers and the Hawks, Sam Smith, who had been silent for a long time, also jumped out.
"Didn't Link say before that he would raise the Grizzly Bear to the number one position in the power rankings? Come on, now facing the owner who is number one in the power rankings, let's see how Link, the arrogant man, feeds himself. The consequences will be disastrous. After the next game, Link will realize that this NBA season has come to an end!"
Sam Smith has been waiting for this opportunity for too long. He dare not criticize the Grizzlies easily now. After all, he is afraid of being slapped in the face by the Grizzlies over the years.
The last time Link missed the winning goal and lost to the Jazz, he endured it. Before, the Grizzlies were pushed to the last minute by the Hornets, and he endured it.
But now seeing how strong the Clippers are, Sam Smith decided not to be patient anymore, he was going to start complaining!
He believed that he would never lose to Link again this time.
In front of the powerful Ultimate Clippers, Link will definitely not be able to fulfill his promise.
Ranking first in the strength rankings is not something you can achieve just by thinking about it!
Half an hour later, the impassioned Sam Smith discovered that Link had not left a message on his social media.
Sam Smith smiled proudly. Link must be afraid this time!
But in fact, Link didn't see what Sam Smith sent at all.
All night, he nervously followed Jordan's social media accounts.
Fortunately, things were calm tonight, and Jordan did not come in to interfere or continue to "feed" Link.
In this way, as long as the Clippers are not dragged into the decisive moment in the next game, they will not be afraid of being poisoned.
But looking at George and Leonard celebrating each other on the computer screen, Link curled his lips again.
It's not easy to stop these two guys at the same time.
Whether the next game will be postponed to the last minute is not up to Link alone.
