The Los Angeles Clippers started the season somewhat unsatisfactory. As the fourth in the west last season, the Clippers'' current 7-4 record makes them only sixth, which is far from the same period last season.


    After 11 games, the Clippers are basically a good one and a bad one. Although offensive efficiency ranks fifth in the league, it seems decent, but there is a huge gap with the fourth.


    The clippers have basically no big moves this summer, and the lineup changes are very subtle. They shouldn''t have played worse than last season.


    A team does not play as well as last season when the lineup remains unchanged. Generally, there is a problem with the players'' state.


    So far this season, J.J. Reddick''s overall shooting rate is only 38.9%, and his three-point shooting rate is only 28.6%.


    The sharp shooter''s up and down feel greatly reduced the efficiency of the Clippers outside the three-point line.


    You know, Reddick made 42.7% of his three-point percentage last season. It''s really strange to see this year''s sudden drop below average.


    In addition to Reddick, Matt Barnes''s poor physical condition has left the Clippers short on the flanks.


    Both offensive and defensive, Matt Barnes has been down a lot this season. After all, he''s 34 years old, and he''s at the age of decline.


    Barnes is not fast or strong enough, rebounds and steals are down more than half every 36 minutes. Barnes gave Perry Jones 32 points in the opening game when the Clippers hit the thunder. The thunder raider''s previous highest score in the NBA was only 14 points. Barnes became a cash machine.


    After a few games, the clippers were guy, Hayward and other consecutive brush points. Even when the Clippers hit the Spurs, there was even a desperate scene: rivers had to use Paul in the low position to defend Leonard!


    How could rivers take the initiative to create dislocation if the side wings of the clippers can win more?


    According to ESPN''s statistics, the Clippers'' average efficiency of position 3 is as high as 18.4, which means that they have to face a master at least pierce level every night, which is only the average value.


    So, Dave Joel is quite confident about the game. After all, the Grizzlies'' strengths are just link and Jimmy Butler.


    According to Matt Barnes''s previous state, Butler and link should not be difficult to get high marks in this game.


    The only trouble with the clippers is Chris Paul and their $30 million inside team.


    The combination of Andrew Jordan and Blake Griffin is the most expensive inside combination in the League at present, none of them.


    Together, their salaries make up more than a third of the clipper''s total salary this year.


    Griffin and Jordan''s inside line, a main attack, a main defense, in the game achieved good results.


    What''s more, Griffin''s medium distance shooting efficiency is steadily increasing every year.


    Griffin''s new season has 38.3% of the shots from the middle distance, only 29.4% from the basket. He was 29.9% and 40.7% in the two events last season. This violent forward, once criticized as a dunk, began to rely more and more on the middle.


    This season, Griffin in the paint area out of the ball, even more than used to "Kite" bosh.


    Griffinla to the middle distance, Jordan also has space to end the attack under the basket.


    With Paul, the league''s top point guard, Griffin and Jordan are not worried about no chance.


    So the next game the Clippers want to win is on offense. The 11th defense and weak flank of their league are definitely unable to take Grizzlies. And Jordan and Griffin''s offensive burden will be heavier than ever.


    Only by attacking can we sustain the situation.


    Little Jordan knows that, and is very confident about it.


    Because his opponent today is Hassan Whiteside.


    Since the day before the game, little Jordan said in an exclusive interview that he did not want to be compared with Whiteside, reporters have been very interested in this topic.


    When the Clippers arrived at Memphis International Airport, Jordan Jr. was even more popular among journalists than Paul.


    "Andrew, do you really think Whiteside is just a flash in the pan?"


    "Can you give the Clippers a huge inside advantage?"


    "If link breaks through the penalty area, can you finish the defense in time?"


    Jordan Jr. became the most dazzling star of the Clippers in an instant. After all, he was considered to be the only advantage of the Clippers.


    "Hassan? I can take care of him anytime, anywhere. " Facing the camera of reporters, little Jordan showed his white teeth and didn''t pay attention to the short-time grizzly bear.


    Little Jordan''s self-confidence is not groundless. In fact, in rivers'' strategy, the Clippers need to focus more on the interior line today.


    It is well known that the Grizzlies are weak inside. Although the appearance of Whiteside in the last game seemed to solve the problem, rivers didn''t think that a short-time worker with a 10 day contract could really hold up the Grizzlies.NBA season is so long, it is common for a player to break out one or two games occasionally.


    Rivers has seen too many short-lived players like Whiteside.


    What''s more, Whiteside just went to the Clippers for a trial some time ago, and that guy''s performance can only be described as appalling.


    People say that players coming out of the Grizzlies can get better than before. But rivers didn''t believe that Whiteside would get worse when he got to Grizzlies.


    He is confident that the Clippers'' $30 million inside team will be able to dominate the Grizzlies.


    Little Jordan''s destructive power can not be resisted by Whiteside and Azeri.


    On the other hand, Whiteside, who is preparing for the Grizzlies, is very serious today.


    Whiteside is a very childish person, so after being bullied by little Jordan, he wants to bully back more than anyone else.


    "A while ago, I got the opportunity to try on the Clippers in the past, but they turned me down after only one training game. I was too nervous to play at all, so I was easily defeated by Andrew. I begged for a second chance, but rivers told me I was sorry


    Now think of some time ago in the clipper training experience, Whiteside is still gnashing his teeth.


    Rivers is famous for not trusting new people, which is no way to do things. Rivers won''t want Whiteside unless he makes a huge performance.


    "Well, Hassan, no matter how angry you are, you have to follow the plan. Believe me, you have plenty of opportunities today. " Link soothed Whiteside, and if the guy was too hot, he would have been in a bad temper.


    "Of course, of course. I listen to the coach, well, and yours With that, Whiteside continued to practice shooting.


    At this time, the Clippers also entered the warm-up.


    Today, all the Clippers are serious and have made the atmosphere very serious.


    They also know that they are not doing well this season, so they must be eager to win in the Grizzlies.


    Little Jordan saw Whiteside, eyes full of desire, as if he could not wait to start abusing food.


    In an interview with reporters before the game, rivers also expressed his trust in his luxurious interior, "the last game was just a warm-up for the grizzly bear''s riddled interior line, and today is a real test. We are ready, we are eager to continue the winning streak


    Chris Paul is also very serious today. "We were swept 4-0 by the Grizzlies in the western semifinals last season. It''s a shame, and it''s time to turn a page of shame with a victory. "


    Although Paul hasn''t said a word lately, he wants to win today more than anyone else.


    People say this season is the best time for Paul to touch the floor and he doesn''t want to be a loser all the time.


    As a player with high self-esteem, Paul has been longing for revenge since he was swept by Grizzlies last summer.


    And now, no doubt, is the best chance for the Clippers to revenge!


    "How are you going to win? Is it on the inside? How much do you think the clippers have an inside advantage? "


    In the face of this problem, Paul joked, "about 10 days short contract to 30 million gap."


    Paul said and looked at little Jordan, who was also eager to try.


    Gasol''s athletic ability is not good, and Whiteside is just a short-time worker who has been overruled by the media. They are unable to stop the impact of the Clippers'' interior line.


    Paul believes that tonight, Memphis will be bombarded by his own air attack.


    The $30 million luxury interior is not a decoration.
