After the All-Star weekend, the Clippers had a poor record, with an 8-10 record, not a good enough performance, and facing 50% Although the Pelicans' recent unstable performance has temporarily occupied a 0.5 win difference, however, the competition between the two sides is still extremely anxious, if it is not for the Clippers to continue to give the opponent opportunities, it is difficult for the Pelicans to catch up with the Clippers, and it is also very likely that the giant team with the four stars will completely lose the competitiveness of the championship.
It is reported that when Harden joined the team, George was not optimistic about the deal, just as George recruited Wei Shao, Leonard was opposed, George's dissatisfaction with Harden is also visible to the naked eye, especially after the team's record continues to decline, the contradiction between George and Harden is also heating up again, and it is making the already chaotic relationship once again add new disputes and hidden dangers.
Not only that, when Harden joined the team, almost all the ball was in Harden's hands, but as George continued to want to control more balls, Harden also held the ball for a long time, derived from holding the ball most of the time, so that in the second half of the season, Harden almost did not hold the ball, and stood on the wing to open up space, after Harden gave up the ball, the team's record was also in jeopardy, and George's insistence on asking for the ball also made Harden's contradictions with George continue to heat up and ferment, and the two were incompatible, which also made the team continue to break out, and also brought new barriers and troubles to the team's record。
In addition, because Harden and George will face the problem of renewing their contracts, and the team can almost only choose one of the two to renew the contract with the highest salary, the relationship between the two will also be an important factor in the rising contradictions and estrangement between the two, especially after Harden and most of the team's players get together, and even after the fame and strength of stars such as Zubac have improved, it has made George feel the crisis, and it has also become a key factor for George to occupy more balls, which also makes the long-discordant relationship once again derived from new contradictions and infighting.
To sum up, the Clippers' declining performance and the ongoing infighting and conflict between George and Harden have made the Clippers turmoil continue to break out, and it has also made this giant team, without playing the ultimate performance, it is very likely that the team will break up unhappily because of the infighting, especially after the team renewed Leonard's contract, not only did the double star feel the pressure of contract renewal, but also because of the 1 million base salary contract given to Wei Shao, the other party was extremely dissatisfied, and it was possible to take away the talent, and the constant salary conflict will make the Clippers an important factor in the fish belly team。
It also makes this team full of expectations likely to lose competitiveness because of the current situation of collapse before entering a critical moment, and the team will be eliminated ahead of schedule again. After all, the locker room atmosphere largely determines the trend and development of the team, and the Clippers in such a sensitive period, such a violent locker room turmoil will inevitably make the Clippers suffer a great impact and challenge, and it will also make it difficult for this team to go further, this dynasty team that was once pinned on high hopes is very likely to suffer the same curse as the Suns, making it fall on the stage of the playoffs, and the internal strife of the twin stars is very likely to become the culprit that hinders the Clippers from becoming great.
As a dynasty team, the Warriors have a poor record in the new season, and the core stars have been hit by objective factors one after another, which has also made the team's record continue to decline, so far this season, the team is even temporarily in the tenth place in the West, especially after the Rockets have played a wave of consecutive wins, and even the tenth place in the West will be in jeopardy, so on, the Warriors will even break into the qualification of the play-offs, which will become a luxury and expectation.
In addition to Wiggins' sluggish performance, the fact that Kuminga is overwhelmed at critical moments, and Green's ban turmoil, Paul is trapped by the age factor, Klay's sudden decline, and the attitude of asking for a maximum salary, once became an important factor in the team's poor record, after all, as Curry, the team's most critical star, Klay's tactical position for the Warriors will also be extremely important, and the Warriors will become an important factor in the dynasty team, but after experiencing injuries, Klay's state continues to decline, but at the same time, Klay's unwillingness to let go of his identity and ask for a maximum salary have made Klay an unworthy star, which also caused the contradictions between him and the team to break out constantly, so that Clay once went from a sharpshooter to a down-and-out star with a poor hand and a strange personality.
Recently, the Magic offered Warriors star player Klay Thompson a three-year, $90 million contract. This incident not only marks a new recognition of Klay's market value, but also reflects the fierce competition for good players in the league.
Obviously, even if Klay loses the aura of a star, but the young Magic is still willing to gamble for it, the Magic has performed extremely well so far this season, they hope to get such an experienced star, in order to help the team out of the trough, although Klay's current performance, it is true that he is not worthy of a super contract, but the Magic still hope to use Klay's marksman attributes, as well as the control of the game, to help young people mature in advance, help the team out of the trough, become a real giant team, so that the team can play the expected performance and competitiveness。
The Magic's intention to take advantage of the fire has also put the Warriors in a dilemma, as the highest-paid team in the league, if the Warriors want to keep Klay, they will at least pay a higher price, but this will make the Warriors' luxury tax astronomical, but if the Warriors give up on Klay's contract extension, the team will inevitably lack a sharpshooter.
Although Klay is not in good shape, Klay is still crucial to the team's tactical status and value, and he is also the absolute hero of the team's establishment of the dynasty, but with Klay's current attitude, he will not remember the old feelings, especially after the Magic offered such a tempting contract, once the Warriors do not give the same contract to match, Klay leaves the team with talent, which has become an irreversible fact, after all, compared to the stars chasing championship trophies, Klay no longer cares about personal honors, chasing a super contract, will become the last goal of Klay's career, and will also be the only appeal and goal of the sharpshooter。
After the Clippers broke out in the turmoil and the Warriors faced the intention of the Magic to cut off the Hu, it also made the West very likely to change again. Therefore, in such a situation, the successive giants have fallen, giving the West a new hope.
For the West, in addition to the Nuggets still struggling to support, the West is currently dominated by young teams. Whether it is the fierce Thunder, the Timberwolves, or the Mavericks, Kings and blockbuster Rockets who are fighting in the playoffs, these young teams will be expected to give them hope after the giants have encountered turmoil one after another, and they are also expected to take advantage of the chaos in the West, are expected to stand out, and even go further in the chaos to attack the championship.
Not only that, but for the Nuggets, the team's contradictions in the offseason are still not to be underestimated, with Gordon, Pope, After Murray rejected the team's contract one after another, he also offered a more exaggerated super contract, obviously the three of them have more than 100 million contracts, so that the team is powerless, the team is naturally unwilling to pay a huge luxury tax for it, especially if the team fails to win the championship, it will not be ruined, in this case, the team has at least 2-3 players to leave the team for the highest salary, once the core star chooses to leave, this will undoubtedly be in a huge predicament for the Nuggets. Therefore, in the salary turmoil, the Nuggets are very likely to mess up their position, so that the team has not yet established a dynasty, and the team will be torn apart because of the maximum salary contract, which is also the current situation and situation that the dynasty team cannot avoid.
Several giant teams in succession will fall into the endless abyss, which will undoubtedly bring new hope to young teams, and will also allow these teams that continue to play to the extreme with their own efforts, and are expected to make the team completely dispensable after several giant teams fall into poor results and salary problems, and also let the western sky completely appear new colors and variables, and even let the young team see the future and expectation of winning the championship.
To sum up, in the case of infighting between George and Harden, Durant is very likely to have a breakpoint behavior for the team, may leave the team, and the Nuggets are trapped by salary and other issues, so that the West will have a new miracle and change, and it will also make the young team hope to successfully step on the shoulders of superstars to reach the top under pressure, and also make it a real championship-level team.
And if it goes on like this, it will give the Western team a great chance of winning the championship, after all, the young team will stand out, there will inevitably be defects in experience and other aspects, just like the Thunder three less back then, if the Celtics, The Bucks and other battle-hardened teams can stand out and will inevitably receive dividends from the West, so that they can rely on more outstanding experience in the face of these young teams, as well as their experience and maturity on the Finals stage, so that these two Eastern giants can occupy an absolute advantage and initiative, and also make the Eastern team the biggest winner of the Western chaos, whether it is the Celtics or the Bucks, will be expected to become the biggest winner in this chaos, is expected to become a team that waits for work, and helps the team to achieve the pursuit and competition for the championship。
