Clippers News: Light bulb has the highest winning rate in history, Paul expresses his sacrifice, and the young player has officially announced his sacking

Light bulb has the highest winning rate in history

Not long ago, the Clippers officially announced that the team officially signed free agent Chris Paul with a one-year, $360,000 veteran basic salary contract. The latter realized his wish to return to his roots and met with his old teammate James Harden. Today, the well-known American statistics media released a list of top 3 historical combinations in the top 3 win rates. The results showed that the "Light Bulb Combination" surpassed the Warriors who played for Durant and the Bulls dynasty led by Jordan in the 1990s, ranking first in history. The specific situation is: 1. Paul and Harden were -78.6% during the Rockets' cooperation period; 2. Durant played for the Warriors dynasty -74%; 3. Bulls dynasty in the 1990s -70.8%.

Old Rockets fans know that Paul is the most powerful and effective when he partnered with Harden. The two of them control the ball separately, and the first and second lineups have excellent organizers and commanders. In addition, the role players perform their duties, making this Rockets stable and playing a strong team will also be back and forth. It can be said that the Rockets in those years were the only team in the league that was qualified to compete with the Universe. Unfortunately, because of the age gap and the tactical playing philosophy, the "Light Bulb Combination" had no choice but to disintegrate after only two seasons. Now, Harden and Paul reunited in the Clippers, not only to relieve their grudges and hatreds in the past, but also to have a hope for future success. I wish the two elderly people who are entering the late stage of their careers to realize their dream of winning the championship as soon as possible.

Paul expressed his sacrifice

Yesterday, the Clippers held a press conference for Paul, during which he answered several questions. When talking about whether the outside world is most concerned about whether he minds playing as a substitute in the Clippers, Paul gave an unexpected answer. He said: "My role in the Clippers is obviously different from my past 20 years. This team has many outstanding players, and they are full of competition in training and games. No matter whether they can play or not, no matter what role the team wants me to play, I will do my best every day, train and devote myself to it, and I will show enough professionalism." Paul played 1,354 regular season games in his career, and only played as a substitute when he played for the Warriors in 23-24 seasons, but he still averaged 26.4 minutes of playing time.

Currently, in addition to Paul, the Clippers also have Harden, Bill, Bogdanovic and Dunn on the back line, which means that Paul is likely to be fifth in the appearance pick, and some games even face the situation of sitting on the bench. It is not difficult to hear from Paul's words that he has put down his past pride, prepared to make sacrifices, and is willing to obey all the team's arrangements, which is really touching. I believe that Paul can not only play the role of the commander of the second team, but also be competent for the task of the locker room leader. He will be an important puzzle on the Clippers' road to success.

The young player was officially announced to be sacked

Today, the Clippers officially announced that the team has officially sacked forward Patrick Baldwin Jr. Previously, according to media reporters, the Clippers cut Baldwin to free up a two-way contract place for Jordan Miller. Baldwin, 22, signed a two-way contract with the Clippers after being cut by the Wizards last season, but because of the crowded rotation of the Clippers, he basically had no playing time. In this summer league, Baldwin played four games for the Clippers, averaging 14.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.5 blocks per game. Later, according to Clippers' team reporter Law Murray, if Baldwin successfully passes the 48-hour clarification period (that is, no team claimed him during that period), the Clippers intend to sign him back with a training camp contract. In terms of personal strength and team adaptability, Baldwin cannot enter the regular rotation at all, so why do the Clippers still sign it back? The author believes that on the one hand, the Clippers want Baldwin to enhance the competitiveness of teams under the Clippers Development League; on the other hand, Baldwin has the potential to develop into a high-quality high-quality turret, and the Clippers want to raise the cost and scrap the prize, but are still unwilling to give up.
