Just after playing the away game, you have to go back to the home stadium to play back-to-back, and the league's schedule has always been like this, and it would be strange if few teams came out to complain every year.

The defending champions were lucky enough to make it back to Atlanta overnight, as they faced back-to-back opponents against the Los Angeles Clippers, who are currently 21-27 and are drifting away from the playoffs.

When it comes to the Clippers, fans who know a little bit about the NBA think about the team's tragic history, or to be more specific, a cursed team.

The talk of the Clippers curse has been circulating in the NBA league since the beginning of the 21st century.

Needless to say, the Clippers' dismal record in history is one of their curses fulfilled in the draft.

The Clippers' draft failure began with 1988 No. 1 pick Danny Manning.

Manning's career in college was a three-year All-American selection, and he won the NCAA championship and MOP in 1988.

However, Manning suffered a serious knee injury in his first season as the Clippers' No. 1 pick, playing only 26 games. Manning's athleticism declined after recovering from injury, and although he was selected to the All-Star Game twice, he fell far short of expectations.

The next Clippers draft tragedy is familiar to old Celestial Empire fans.

In 1998, the Clippers got the top pick again, and they selected Olowokandi, who is one of the spokespersons of the NBA's parallel top, averaging only 8.3 points per game in his career, and the Clippers missed Carter, Nowitzki, Pierce, Jamison, Bibby and other stars because of the selection of Olowokandi.

In the 2004 draft, the Clippers selected Livingston.

This would have been a good choice, but would this kind of thing be a curse, will it stop because of the right vision?

It turns out that God is meant to play clippers.

Livingston didn't get much of a chance in his first two seasons, and in 2007 he suffered a severe curved fracture of his knee that made it to the NBA's banned injury video, and he spent 20 months recuperating before returning to the court, ruining his chance at becoming a top star.

This season, the Clippers selected Blake Griffin with the No. 1 pick, but Griffin was diagnosed with a stress fracture the day before the start of the regular season, which cost him the entire season.

That's right, even if you choose the right person, you have to torture it with injuries. If that's not a curse, what else?

The above injury curse on the Clippers is just the tip of the iceberg.

The Clippers poached 1999 No. 1 pick Elton Brand from the Bulls in 2001, who quickly became the captain of the Clippers and led the team to the Western Conference semifinals in the 2005-06 season, and it looks like the Clippers curse could be broken.

But in the summer of 2007, Brand suffered a torn Achilles tendon in his left leg, which left him missing most of the 2007-08 season.

In the summer of 2008, Brand switched to the 76ers, and he lost his pre-injury heroism and became one of the high-paid and low-performance representatives.

Byron Davis joined the Clippers in 2008 as the new captain, but he hasn't escaped injuries and has been in good shape.

No one could have imagined that just a few months later, in July of this year, Lorenzen Wright, who had played for the Hawks in the 07-08 season and won a championship ring, would suddenly disappear, and then 10 days later, his body would be found in the wooded area of southern Memphis.

Police confirmed that Wright died by gunshot, but the killer was never caught.

What? Wright has nothing to do with the Clippers?

Wrong, because it was the Clippers who drafted Lorenzen Wright with the 7th pick in 1996.

Got it?

Even if he leaves, the curse is not out of the question, and the lethality of the curse is unlimited.

By the way, it was '96 – the NBA's golden generation.

Even if Iverson, Camby, Marbury, Ray Allen, and Antoine Walker were drafted in front, after the seventh pick, there are Kobe, Stojakovic, Nash, O'Neal Jr., Ilgoskas, Fisher and others.

What the?

You can't blame the curse, injuries and accidental deaths happen every day, and the poor draft is even more **, not a natural disaster.

Is it just that simple?

Wrong!

Because Lakers legend Elgin Baylor, who served as the general manager of the Clippers for 22 years, is a complete tragedy in his own right.

Before talking about other people's tragedies, we must first see if this person has strength, if he does not have strength, then he is a LOSER in himself, and there is no value in discussion.

IS BELLE A LOSER?

Apparently not, Jordan's idol Dr. J - Julius Irving will tell you that the pioneer representative of the Union of Flyers is Elgin Baylor.

How good is Lord Belle?

It can be summed up in just one sentence: this is the man who can win the MVP under the bag of Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell.

How tragic is Lord Belle?

It can also be summed up in one sentence: Have you heard of the NBA Ya King?

Do you think that's all there is to the tragedy of Lord Belle?

How naïve!

The retirement time of this league supergiant is also a tragedy!

In the season when he chose to retire at the age of 37, the Lakers won a historic 33-game winning streak, and in the finals of the same year, the Lakers defeated the Knicks 4-1, ending the previous desperate history without a championship.

Lord Belle can definitely look up to the sky and roar: "Who dares to be worse than me???!!!"

Therefore, the curse or tragedy of the Clippers is top-down and thorough.

What the?

The general manager is not the top of the team, so let's take a look at what kind of rotten guy Donald Sterling, the owner of the Clippers, is!

When it comes to bad character, no boss can compare to Sterling, he is in the industry, but he has been labeled as picky, lustful, and rough for a long time.

In order to save money, Sterling deliberately did not hire a team doctor, but asked coach Hellas to bandage his players.

On one occasion when a fan shot contest was held, one fan won, but Sterling was reluctant to give him a measly $1,000 bonus.

As a result, the fan happened to be a lawyer, so he took Sterling to court.

Elgin Baylor also took Sterling to court in 2009 on the grounds that he had been unlawfully fired.

Baylor, who has worked for Sterling for 22 years, said he has been discriminated against, earning only $350,000 a year since 2003, while Sterling has given white coach Dunleavy $5.5 million a year.

Well, Baylor has a good reason, but his draft vision seems to match his annual salary.

Oh, that's not the point.

Raheem Sterling has also publicly stated that the Clippers' ideal model would be for a white head coach to play with a bunch of poor black men from the South.

In the United States, such blatant racial discrimination has broken the most basic political bottom line.

Well, the Los Angeles Clippers are such a team that makes people speechless.

Since this team entered the league, the only positive role it can play is probably to make other teams in the league feel that life is not easy.

Well, anyway, Erniu himself has a bad impression of the Clippers.

In the rookie season of the Celestial Dynasty, when the team refused to provide tickets to Erniu's friends, Erniu gave the Clippers a "big gift" in O'Neal's way.

That night, Erniu scored the highest scoring record of his rookie season - 59 points.

This season, Brand Jennings scored the second-highest single-game scoring record in his rookie season - 55 points, but the impact is always a little worse, because of the existence of Erniu.

In this world, people will always remember the first, not the second.

Of course, if it gets to the point where the Clippers are miserable, it will also be unforgettable.

The tragic fate of the Los Angeles Clippers is unknown for how long it will last, but that doesn't stop them from playing well enough in a single game.

On February 3, 2010, the Hawks sat at the Philips Center to face their back-to-back opponents, the Clippers.
