The team to be introduced below is the Los Angeles Clippers, in a sense, the Clippers are the representatives of the league's fish belly, acting as the background emperor and the role of Wan Nian Xiaoshou, who has created a "feat" of not entering the playoffs for fifteen consecutive seasons, the Clippers moved to Los Angeles in 1984, although they are in the same league as the Lakers, but when it comes to the NBA team in Los Angeles, most people still think of the Lakers first, which cannot but be said to be a sadness for the Clippers.

In 1970, the Clippers who first entered the NBA were originally named the Buffalo Braves, and when they first entered the league, they did not have sufficient team experience from management to head coach (the first season of head coach was Dorf Shayle, the legendary star of the Syracuse Nationals), so they also seemed to be disorganized in the selection of players. Bob Kaufman, who averaged only 4.3 points per game with the Chicago Bulls, came to the Clippers and turned into a superstar who averaged 20.4 points per game, and then he was with the Warriors for three years, averaging 17.5 points per game in the lowest year, and was traded to the Hawks three years later, and the average points per game returned to 3.9 points. Don May, who was still with the New York Knicks last season, averaged only 2.6 points per game, and when he arrived with the Braves, he became a star with an average of 20.2 points per game, and a season later May went to the Atlanta Hawks and averaged 7.9 points per game.

These two examples are enough to show how bad the Braves configuration was at that time, the team's record is basically a human bully, no matter who you see, you are washing the chrysanthemum, obediently pouting your ass, the second season, the Braves harvested Elmer Smith in the draft is the team's biggest gain, in the first season of the rookie, Smith was able to contribute 17.3 points and the league's sixth-highest 15.2 rebounds, the Braves found their savior in the past, but they didn't expect to encounter a "giant pit." Smith, who has been in his career for eight years, has become more and more frustrated after his rookie season, and his 15.2 rebounds in his rookie season turned out to be the highest average of his career, and 17.3 points is also the second highest value of his career.

In the 1972-1973 season, the Braves welcomed their true savior, selecting Bob McAdoo from North Carolina with the second pick in the first round of the draft, who made a mid-season effort to win the Rookie of the Year with an average of 17.5 points, 9.1 rebounds and 50.5 percent shooting per game.

McAdoo's style of play is very similar to the current Nowitzki, his size is thin, and he doesn't have an advantage in the inside back, but he is accurate, he can shoot anywhere after halftime, and the shooting percentage is ridiculously high, after the end of this season, McAdoo won the scoring title with an average of 30.6 points per game, and his 54.7% shooting percentage is also the first in the league, and led the Buffalo Braves into the playoffs after only three years in the NBA.

Next season, McAdoo completely dominated the league, not only winning the scoring title with an average of 34.1 points per game, but also getting the regular season MVP trophy, and in the case of injuries to the team's main players, McAdoo single-handedly brought the team into the playoffs again! In his third year, McAdoo was the scoring champion for the third time and reached the second round for the first time in the playoffs.

The Buffalo Braves at this time were a team that looked brilliant, yes, this brilliance was just "looking", nothing more, and after this year, the Braves made history by not making the playoffs for a full fifteen years.

When McAdoo was stepping into his own era, the weaknesses of his character were exposed, he was short-tempered, impatient with his teammates, went his own way, did not like to communicate with others, he could conquer opponents on the court, but he could not pinch everyone together in the team's locker room So, based on these shortcomings, the Braves insisted on sending McAdoo away in the 1976-1977 season, not expecting that this trade would cause a "double loss" situation.

McAdoo was traded for several teams, from a pillar-like player to a "streamer", successively played for the New York Knicks, Boston Celtics, Detroit Pistons, Los Angeles Lakers, and also played in Europe, until the age of 42 before he really announced his retirement, among all the league's regular season MVPs, only McAdoo was not selected as one of the league's top 50 superstars, McAdoo Even so, the team is not much better, and the Buffalo Braves' record has declined greatly after sending away the core playersThe poor record caused the market to plummet and eventually had to be sold off and moved to San Diego.

The Braves who moved to San Diego is the first unbearable memory, because there are no stars in the team to provoke the beam, the team's ball market is not even as good as UCLA, the team in San Diego's six teams, the only bright spot is that the team signed former Trail Blazers superstar Bill Wharton for 7 years and 7 million US dollars, but at this time Walton is no longer as brave as he used to be, the skills are still there but the body is already scarred, in four seasons, Wharton's attendance is less than half of the entire season, The average score per game is only about 12 points.

In 1982, businessman Don Sterling bought the team out of all the $20 million he had just earned on real estate, and in 1984, the team moved to Los Angeles and changed its name to the Los Angeles Clippers.

The first trade after the Clippers moved to Los Angeles was to trade Marquis Johnson, Don Nelson's beloved apprentice of the Milwaukee Bucks, Johnson when he was healthy, he was a star player whose data was maintained at 20+6+5 all year round, and he created a precedent for "organizational forwards", but the problem was that Johnson was injured after coming to Los Angeles, and a major injury in the second year directly ended his career, and he retired hastily in the third year.

And what about the chips for Johnson? One of them was the 1982 All-Star Terry Cummings, the rookie of the year, a two-time All-Star, who led the Bucks in points per game for three seasons and averaged 20 points per game in the first eleven seasons. The second is Craig Hodges, the champion of three consecutive All-Star three-point contests in 1990, 1991 and 1992, and his three-point shooting percentage has remained above 40% in his 10-year career. In addition to Cummings and Hodges, Johnson was swapped for Ricky Pierce, who was the 18th rookie in the first round in 1982, Pierce played a total of 15 seasons in the NBA, averaged 15 points per game, participated in one All-Star and won two Sixth Man of the Year awards.

The next few years have been an extremely chaotic period for the Clippers, becoming the best negative teaching material for successful teams in the league, with massive injuries, low player participation and enthusiasm for the game, no tactics on the court, constant tricks from management, and the inability to use the selected excellent players, with the team's record at the bottom all year round.

This situation continued until the 1991-1992 season, when veteran coach Larry Brown sat in the tent and became the head coach of this extremely chaotic team, under the tutelage of Larry Brown, combined with Danny Manning, Ron Hubble, Doug Rivers and other excellent players, the effect was immediate, the record soared from 30 wins last year to 45 wins this year, and reached the playoffs, where the Utah Jazz were easily defeated 4-1 in the first round by the Utah Jazz with Karl Malone and John Stockton. Manning is beginning to have a first-class interior quality, averaging 22.6 points per game in the playoffs, shooting 56.8% from the field!

Next season, the Clippers' lineup will go further, the core of the team Manning and Hubble will be more mature, and the team will be joined by Mark Jackson, who ranks second in total assists in NBA history, but the offensive arrow Charles Smith chose to join the Knicks, which affected the team's record to a certain extent, and finally the Clippers surpassed their city rival Los Angeles Lakers for the first time with a 41-41 record, and they broke into the playoffs, although they were still sent home by the Rockets in the first round, But this year they weren't as vulnerable as last year, with the Clippers holding out for five games, with the outcome of the game not decided until the final minute of the final game.

Although the team did not break through history, it did develop in a good direction, but at this time, team owner Raheem Sterling once again played the role of executioner, he fired the meritorious veteran coach Larry Brown, traded the outstanding Danny Manning, traded from the Hawks for Domenic Wilkins, the "essence of human cinema", piggybacked on a first-round pick the following year, and then let Hubble sign with the Chicago Bulls.

The Clippers are "hard work for several years, back to the liberation overnight", the Clippers only won 27 games at the end of the season, Wilkins was unwilling to become a clown who only performed dunks for Sterling to earn those few ticket money, and after the season went to Europe to play, the Clippers fell into a deep quagmire again, but as the owner of the team, Sterling does not seem to take the team's record to heart, how to make money in the team is the first question in his heart, As a result, he demanded that the rental fee be split equally with all the smaller teams that used the arena, making him a target of ridicule for the other 29 teams in the league.

Ramon Murray, who was drafted with the 7th pick in the first round in the 1994 draft, was the only surprise the Clippers had this season, averaging 14.1 points per game, ranking second on the team (this guy once played in China's CBA, and helped Guangdong Hongyuan win the championship in the 2007-2008/season), and in 1995, the Clippers selected Antonio McDyce from the University of Alabama in the draft. Just when everyone was expecting the team's record to improve, Sterling changed hands and traded McDies again...... In the shortened season of 1998, the Clippers won 9-41 and once again won the worst team in the league.

In 1999, the Clippers selected Lamar Odom with the fourth pick in the first round, the team moved to a new home, Staples, and shared this luxurious arena with the Lakers.

At a time when the team's results were slowly improving, Sterling once again forfeited the contract extensions with Miller, Odomi, Ogrokandi and Piakowski because of stinginess, allowing them to flow to other teams, and the team never made the playoffs.

In the 2005-2006 season, the team ushered in a turnaround, the addition of Radmanovic has greatly improved the team's weak outside offense, and the outside players did not dare to arbitrarily wrap up Brand and Carman, who were 25+10 and 12+10 respectively, and were paired with a good role player. Margety, who averaged 18 points and 5.3 rebounds per game, Cassel, an alien who averaged 17 points and 6.3 assists per game, and Mobley, an old cat who averaged 15 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists per game, made the team glow with strong fighting power, defeating the Nuggets 4-1 in the playoffs and entering this round for the first time in history, but in this round of the series, the Clippers fought seven games against the Phoenix Suns with Steve Nash and Sean Marion, and lost the game. In seven games, although Brand played like a god, averaging 31 points and 10.4 rebounds per game with a shooting rate of nearly 60%, and 4.3 assists and 3.1 blocks, but still couldn't fight the Suns, who were all soldiers, Marion 25.6 points, 12.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.4 blocks, Nash averaged 18.3 points per game plus 10.9 assists, and Ragabel was 51.9% from beyond the three-point line He averaged 19.1 points per game on three-point shooting, Barbossa off the bench also contributed 16.3 points, and Boris Dior averaged 14.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks per game.

In the 2007-2008 season, Elton Brand, the pillar of the team, tore his Achilles tendon while the team was training with the team, and the team ended the season with a 23-59 record, and the next season, the Clippers continued to work hard and handed over a 19-63 record for the second worst record in the league, but the Clippers were a blessing in disguise, they got the No. 1 pick this summer, and with this sign, they selected an extremely physical, beast-caliber power forward, Blake Griffin, who will replace Brandto become the new leader of the team.
