This damn competitive spirit, even in the last season, I have to win the championship once

Ten years ago, Paul said in an interview that he was looking forward to completing his retirement with the Clippers. Ten years later, Paul's wish came true. This was Paul's last season. He had been competing for 20 years, but in the end he was still unwilling to admit defeat. Even if others gave better conditions, Paul finally chose the Clippers with a greater chance. Paul's joining the Clippers is of great significance. First, the old captain returns to the city of air connection, and second, the light bulb combination reunites, and the feelings are filled with direct feelings.

Over the years, Paul's reputation has always been polarized. People who like Paul think he is the point guard god, but people who hate Paul think that Paul is too utilitarian. However, an indisputable fact is that Paul has played 82 games intact at the age of 40. At this age, he can still play in such a state. There are no three players in the NBA active players.

I have my own unique view on Paul's evaluation. Regardless of Paul's strengths and weaknesses, Paul's biggest impression on me is his competitive spirit. This competitive mentality has only been seen in Kobe Kobe. Although Paul has never won a championship in his 20-year career, he never questioned Paul's greatness. He is less than 1.9 meters tall. It is difficult to gain a foothold in the NBA. Paul can persist for 20 years. Without an absolute competitive spirit, it is impossible to play until now.

Why is Paul only joining the Clippers now? In fact, it is due to Paul's competitive spirit. Judging from the current situation, the Clippers are the most suitable team for Paul and the most satisfying team. Don't forget that Paul clearly stated that he wanted to get a starting position. Now that he joined the Clippers, the situation has changed significantly. The Clippers cannot give Paul the starting position. Why does Paul still want to join? Because the Clippers now have the ability to win the championship, this is what Paul is most interested in.

Without Collins and Bill joining, Paul would not be able to join the Clippers in advance. Although it is blunt, this is the fact. When Paul hopes to be accompanied by his family, he has already sent a strong signal to the Clippers. The whole world knows that Harden lacks substitutes, and at this critical moment, he completes the buzzer-bearing franchise. The Clippers are full of sincerity and Paul has face.

In fact, it is already certain that the Clippers are Paul's last choice. There are four teams in the first tier of the Western Conference. In addition to the Clippers, there are the Rockets, the Nuggets and the Thunder. Judging from Paul's competitive spirit, joining other teams is not very meaningful. Now with Paul's joining, the Clippers have successfully squeezed into the first tier. Of course, the Clippers have the biggest drawback, that is age.

The Clippers' roster has 8 players over 30 years old, and 4 of them are over 35 years old. You should know that the average age of the Thunder last season was less than 26 years old. This is obviously the biggest weakness of the Clippers, which means that the Clippers have a greater risk of injury, especially the core player Leonard. His health is the key to whether the Clippers can win the championship.

Fortunately, after the current Clippers have been continuously strengthened, the depth of each position has far exceeded last season. The Clippers can now make diversified changes in lineups, which can not only set the double tower lineup, but also allow Collins to top the No. 5 position, which is fully in line with the high-intensity bombardment rhythm of modern basketball. Especially after Collins and Bill join, the Clippers' shooting space has made great progress.

The Clippers are ready now, and the joining of Paul old is more like icing on the cake. This "old" Clippers have all the conditions to win the championship, which may be the key to attracting Paul. This damn competitive spirit, even in the last season, I want to fight for myself. Let us look forward to these veterans realizing their dreams of winning the championship together.

How far do you think the Clippers can go next season? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
