Chapter 662 The Problem of the Clippers
The Clippers players were also very depressed at this time.
They finally figured out one thing.
They used to think that Harrell was a badass teammate killer who liked to spray his own people.
But in this game, the Clippers realized a problem. Harrell is not a teammate killer, he is just a Clippers sunspot.
The members of the Clippers realized it later, and now they came to their senses, all of them were extremely angry.
To say that the biggest problem with the Clippers may be that Leonard is taciturn and will not coordinate the relationship between his teammates.
The Clippers' locker room contradiction is definitely the most exciting in the league.
Leonard, George, Lu Wei, and Harrell (last season), the four main offensive players are not convinced by each other.
As the boss of the team, Leonard will not deal with such complicated interpersonal relationships, so he can only let the atmosphere of the Clippers' locker room deteriorate further.
It wasn't until Harrell betrayed the Clippers, Lu Wei was gradually abandoned by Tyronn Lue this season, and the possession of the ball became less and less, the Clippers' locker room problems gradually subsided.
Last season, the Clippers hadn't won a championship yet, and the players would tolerate each other for the sake of the championship.
But now, they are the defending champions.
For the Clippers in the new season, all the players want to compete for credit and grab the maximum salary contract.
The Clippers' management is getting harder and harder.
Harrell's departure is just a microcosm.
The Clippers' record in the new season is still good, ranking second in the league.
But you must know that what the Clippers pay to the league every year is far more than the high luxury tax of the No.2 team.
The Nuggets and Lakers may be the only ones in the league that can match the Clippers' lineup.
The Clippers have internal and external troubles.
Tyronn Lue began to reduce the ball rights of a large number of veteran Clippers players such as Lu Wei. This approach directly caused the veteran Clippers players to feel cold.
In this kind of fierce competition, the unity and mutual trust of the team will be particularly obvious.
After Harrell provoked Lu Wei, he did not score in the face of Ibaka's offense.
After the rebound came out, Leonard rushed into the paint to protect the defensive rebound.
But none of the Lakers players meant to blame Harrell, but felt sorry for Harrell's blacksmithing.
Harrell played for the Lakers, and the more he played, the happier he became.
Now he even subconsciously begins to assure his teammates that he will definitely score the next goal.
Sure enough, in the next round, Ge Feng and Davis cooperated together to create opportunities for Harrell.
With the help of Ge Feng and Davis' cover, Harrell entered the inside line and completed a two-handed dunk heavily.
This dunk completely made Harrell fall in love with the Lakers and the feeling of playing with Ge Feng.
After scoring the goal, Harrell took the initiative to run over, high-fived Ge Feng and Davis one by one, and hit his big buttocks.
The Lakers cooperated tacitly through this period of time to tie the score.
The two sides battled to a tie of 86.
Lakers fans couldn't be more excited.
The Lakers finally did not lose the chain in the Christmas game, abruptly smoothing the difference.
Moreover, looking at the current situation on the court, the momentum has completely come to the Lakers' side!
At this time, look at Lu Wei of the Clippers in turn.
After being repeatedly provoked by Harrell, not only did he not get help from Leonard and George, but Tyronn Lue also replaced Lu Wei and put him on the bench.
Lu Wei covered his face with a towel so that no one could see the change in his expression.
Lu Wei is also a very high-spirited player. He is willing to play as a substitute for the Clippers, just for the championship.
But at this time, Lu Wei began to doubt whether his sacrifice was worth it.
The Clippers crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and when the team encountered problems, they simply abandoned themselves!
Last season, the combination of Lu Wei + Leonard + George scored 80 points jointly.
But this season, Lu Wei played less than 20 minutes in each game, and rarely scored more than 10 points.
Lu Wei knew in his heart that this was Tyronn Lue's coaching style.
Please the core and replace all the players in the team who are at odds with the core. This is the coaching philosophy Tyronn Lue has always adhered to.
Perhaps, this time, Tyronn Lue is going to do something to Lu Wei.
Harrell is a lesson from the past, and Lu Wei may not stay in the Clippers for long.
After Beverley returned to the court, he used mad dog defense and began to destroy the Lakers' offense.
Relying on Beverly's desperate defense, the Clippers finally stabilized the situation and choked the one-sided situation on the court.
93:80.
After three quarters, the Lakers led the Clippers by 4 points.
Although the Clippers are still tenaciously resisting, many sharp-eyed fans have already seen that the Clippers' morale has dissipated, and it is only a matter of time before they are defeated.
Back in the fourth quarter, Lu Wei, who regained his chance to play, didn't even think about passing the ball to his teammates.
As soon as the ball passed the frontcourt, Lu Wei took the ball and did it himself.
After just two rounds, Tyronn Lue noticed something unusual, ran to the sidelines and yelled to let Lu Wei pass the ball.
The competition between the strong and the strong is a severe test for the psychology of the players on both sides.
Lu Wei played two unreasonable singles in a row, which created a very good opportunity for the Lakers to defend and counterattack.
Through Lu Wei's singles, the Lakers successfully played a wave of 4-0, widening the point difference to 8 points.
But in the next round, Lu Wei still chose to play alone.
No matter how Tyronn Lue shouted, Lu Wei pretended that he couldn't hear anything.
Lu Wei just decided to play singles by himself.
He no longer considers himself a member of the Clippers.
Such a fast boat, for Lu Wei, can sink him at will.
Tyronn Lu was in a hurry, and Lu Wei dared to violate his command in front of everyone.
So, after Lu Wei made another shot across the bridge, Tyronn Lue directly reached out to make a substitution, allowing Beverly to continue to return to the court.
After Lu Wei was replaced, he didn't even return to the bench, and left the player channel angrily.
The fans booed wildly.
The Clippers, after all, could not stand the setbacks and split from within...
Lu Wei's departure dealt a very heavy blow to the Clippers players.
The Lakers seized the opportunity and took advantage of the Clippers' slow action for 3 minutes to hit a 10-0 climax in one breath, instantly expanding the point difference to 14 points.
The negative impact of emotions on the Clippers is extremely huge.
After the small crash, it has been very difficult for the Clippers to chase points.
Ge Feng singled Leonard again in the frontcourt.
This time George didn't assist in the defense, and Ge Feng swayed away from Leonard, went to the basket, and completed a one-armed dunk.
1V1 forced Leonard.
Ge Feng's dunk directly brought the point difference between the two sides to 16 points.
With the last 5 minutes left, the Clippers have lost their last chance to chase points.
In the rest of the time, after the Clippers frequently played a wave of iron on the outside, they finally lost to the Lakers 101 to 117, and the winning streak came to an end.
