The biggest change in the Clippers today is still from Roadway! Perhaps he felt that the team had completely lost patience with him, and Lu Wei changed from a chaotic ball hegemony of the past few seasons to a small organizer now. Constantly feeding Leonard and George the ball, and he himself reduced the number of shots. The main reason is that the Clippers are too inaccurate in three-pointers today. Leonard is 1 in 7, Kennard is 0 in 5, and George is 3 in 7. If the Clippers maintain their regular 43% of their regular three-pointers, Lu Wei assists easily in double figures. Yes, this kind of Lou Wei is a good player the Clippers need. It wasn't that he was incapable of passing before, but that he was unwilling to pass. As long as he turns on the assist mode, Leonard is completely liberated, how easy it is!
The Clippers have achieved a 20+ lead in 10 games so far this season, the most in the league! Nine of these games were smoothly beaten opponents, but the Warriors had a 22-point turnaround. The hard power of the Clippers is unquestionable. The only drawback is that the team is easy to slack after taking the lead, there is no scoring output after being replaced, and the defense is not doing well. Of course, there is no perfect team. At present, the top three in the West have formed an infinite loop: Under the same record, the Clippers defeated the Lakers, and the Jazz defeated the Clippers. They have completely thrown away the large forces behind them and start the tri-strong battle for hegemony!
