Decided, officially return to the ship! The most luxurious lineup next season is born, and the 6 giants are aimed at the championship

After Bill announced his joining the Clippers, Chris Paul also came. According to Ary, Paul plans to join the Clippers. Although the formal agreement will be finalized a little later in the free agent market, Paul has made a decision. In Ary's words, this long-awaited reunion is becoming a reality step by step. As we have always said, he always set his sights on the Clippers. Previously, Paul played for the Clippers for 6 years, averaging 18.8 points, 9.8 assists and 2.2 steals per game. During this period, he achieved great results in personal honors. He was selected into the All-Star five times, selected into the All-Star five times (3 times a team one), and selected into the All-Defensive Team six times, leading the Clippers to the playoffs six times. He also got two assists and three steals. It is no exaggeration to say that the Clippers period was the peak period of Paul's career.

Although Bills are welcomed, the Clippers still have a flaw in the backcourt, that is, there are too few No. 1 positions that can hold the ball, and the series of work is basically on Harden. Paul's addition can make up for this shortcoming. You can imagine the scene of the Clippers next season. Paul and Harden take turns controlling the ball, connecting the team smoothly, and eating all kinds of cakes and empty contacts in the interior. Bill can also eat Leonard's ball rights when he is not on the court, and his offensive firepower is excellent. Everyone is saying that James is the longest river in the league. In fact, Paul is not old yet, and he still has the power to fight at the age of 40. After leaving the Suns, Paul's data declined significantly, but it was more due to the change in the team's positioning. Since then, he joined the Warriors and came to the Spurs. He is indeed not the absolute core of the team, and the data decline is normal.

However, Paul's personal ability and physical function have not yet shown any regression. Last season, he played 82 regular season games and did not miss a single game. He averaged 28 minutes per game, scored 8.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.3 steals, and his three-point shooting percentage was 37.7%. On the one hand, Paul himself was very self-disciplined and persisted in detail during training, and dietary management was also scientific and ultimate restraint. On the other hand, Paul is different from the general defender in the league. He does not play explosively, but is walking on the floor. He is basically organized and connected, and the scoring is mainly based on finding open jump shots. This play reduces physical loss and also reduces the risk of injury. In fact, Paul was not bad at the early stage of his career, and even dunked Howard, but after a meniscus injury was injured during the Hornets, he changed his playing style.

This is why Paul can also play in the league until his 40s, and he still has a lot of oil in his tank. Some defenders in the league who rely too much on athleticism, such as Wall, Westbrook, Thomas Jr., and Ross, almost all encountered Waterloo in the later stages of their careers, with a huge regression and even quickly faded out of the league from their peak. Regarding Paul, he has another attribute, which is very important to the Clippers, that is, his rich experience, not only because Paul plays a lot in the playoffs, but he is one of the smartest players in the league. He likes to play tricks and drill for loopholes in the rules in the game. This is beneficial to the Clippers. The Clippers originally had two core cores, Harden and Ka. Their personal problems were that they were not strong enough and their desire to win, and Paul was definitely an expert in this regard.

After Paul chose to join the Clippers, the most luxurious lineup next season was born. The Clippers lineup is indeed a bit old, but it is really gorgeous. Starting players Harden, Bill, Leonard, Collins and Zubac, substitutes Paul, Lopez, and Batum led the lead. Five of them have been selected as All-Stars. Now the starting players + Paul have the strength of a pro-star player. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the 6 giants. In fact, it seems that the giant lineup of old-school stars have been difficult to succeed. Starting with the three Nets at that time, Durant, Harden and Irving, these three did not achieve results. It cannot be said that they were their ability issues. It was indeed a cause of fate. One was that Irving was injured in the playoffs and Durant's three-pointer scored a goal. Without these things, the Nets might really win a championship.

The other is that Irving later caused trouble, which led to the disagreement of the Big Three. If you want to say whether the Nets have the strength to compete for the championship, you must have it. Since then, like the Big Three Lakers, James + Dark Eyebrow + Westbrook, the Big Three Suns, Durant + Booker + Bill, the failure is mainly due to the adaptability issue. The team's lineup structure is too poor and the cores cannot be compatible. Westbrook, the Big Three Lakers, seems out of place and cannot integrate into the team. Because the three of the Suns cannot organize, the team lacks connection points, and has no defensive resources and no qualified inside line, it is strange that they can achieve results. The Clippers in the past few years were actually very luxurious, including Ka + George, Westbrook and Harden, but the point of their failure at that time was that there were too many injuries. Kajiao's combination repeatedly lost track in the playoffs, and there was nothing we could do about it.

And now this Clippers have everything, their lineup structure is extremely reasonable. The Clippers have all the organization, defense and inside resources that other teams lack the most, and the health of the whole team is also maintained well. It is more than enough to compete for the championship. Do you think the Clippers can win the championship next season?
