Some media and fans are not optimistic about the Warriors' three consecutive championships, because looking at the history of the NBA, there are very few other three consecutive championships except for the Bulls dynasty.

And the teams that can win three consecutive championships, except for the Bulls, must have a super inside!

Needless to say, Russell in ancient times, OK combination, won three consecutive championships, and O'Neal.

Although the Spurs have Duncan and maintain the strength to compete for the championship all year round, they have not won three consecutive championships, or even two consecutive championships, which is very regrettable.

In the past two consecutive championships, the Warriors' bench performance has been mediocre, which has made some fans feel that the Brotherhood of Splashes is getting harder and harder.

But at the beginning of this season, they found that the Warriors' benches had evolved!

Thomas Jr. and Butler are so tough and efficient!

At the end of the first quarter, the score of the two teams was 34:32, and the Clippers took the lead.

The lead achieved by the Clippers' main lineup was quickly lost by the bench.

Clippers fans at Staples Arena were disappointed.

As the Lakers' strength has slowly declined in the past two years, Kobe Bryant is getting older and older, so fans in Los Angeles have put their hopes on the Clippers.

Some of the spectators who came here to watch the game today are Lakers fans.

When they saw that the main lineup was playing well, they were very happy, but when it came to the substitute lineup, they were beaten like this?

It's incredible.

The team manager was also dumbfounded.

In the offseason, when the Clippers officially released the trade information, it was a big hit.

There are even media exaggerations: The Clippers formed the Galaxy Battleship! We will definitely win the championship next season!

Who knows, the proud bench lineup was blinded by the Warriors' small bench supply.

The manager, Vinnie, was furious and he kept yelling at the substitutes.

The Clippers bench player bowed his head and was silent, very unconvinced.

In the past few games, as long as they are on the field, they can crush the opponent's substitutions, and they can even just have a wave with the main lineup on the opposite side!

It is because of the strong bench lineup that the odds of the Clippers to win the championship have been increasing.

But today......

It was Paul who came out to clear the game, and he knew it wasn't the substitute's fault, and Coach Pooh was a little angry.

"Brothers, the opponent is very tough, you haven't adapted yet, remember! They're uncrowned champions, and we're going to play with playoff intensity against them!"

After all, Paul has a lot of experience, and he can see that the Clippers have a strong bench ability, but his attitude is a little poor, to put it bluntly, he is a little underestimated.

They felt that the Warriors' bench was a player who had been seriously injured except for the rookie, and his talent was average, so they didn't pay attention to it.

With the cooperation of the coach and Paul, one singing red face and the other singing white face, the mentality of the Clippers bench players returned to normal.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the offensive and defensive intensity of the Clippers bench increased by two gears.

The Warriors' bench did improve a lot, but the lack of talent allowed their offensive efficiency to slowly decline.

With less than three minutes to play in the second quarter, the Warriors trailed by five more points.

Old Nelson was about to make a substitution, and Zhou Yang had already taken off his coat and stood on the sidelines.

In fact, Zhou Yang didn't mean to fight the Clippers to the end today, because for Zhou Yang, this was just an ordinary regular season.

As for morale and fighting spirit, these things are not a problem for a team that has won two consecutive championships.

As soon as it comes to the playoffs, the background of the champion team will naturally come out immediately.

Zhou Yang wants to let the substitute lineup exercise and let them take on some of the team's heavy responsibilities.

This is where Zhou Yang's experience lies.

Many top teams are actually supported by one or two stars in the main lineup.

They occupy most of the ball, they take shots, they finish a game, look at the data, it's really the core of the team that they do their best, and everyone else is CBA.

Others too

I can't say anything, after all, the performance and statistics of the stars are there.

However, if other players want to perform, they have to have the ball!

Others are role players because they can't match the abilities of top stars, but they can do what they're good at to keep the team moving.

It's like a precision instrument, the core components are of course the most important, and the price is also expensive, but the screws and accessories are also important.

Even if it is a spring gasket, there are technical requirements.

So Zhou Yang already has a plan, that is, in the regular season, to give more balls and shots to bench players and role players, improve their sense of responsibility and confidence.

Let the horses run, and let the horses graze.

The performance of today's substitute made Zhou Yang very satisfied.

Although the Warriors' bench was suppressed again in the second quarter, they have improved a lot.

But the things of the world are too much.

Now that the substitute players have been by others, as the main general, it's time to come out and vent for his teammates!

After Zhou Yang came on the court, he first broke through and directly deducted Odom by one, and played 2+1!

After the violent buckle, Zhou Yang also deliberately shook his head at Odom provocatively, which made Odom angry.

But Odom didn't get angry, he knew Zhou Yang too well.

When he was in the Lakers, Kobe Bryant and Zhou Yang were vindictive, and they didn't take advantage, let alone him......

Subsequently, Zhou Yang defended Crawford's pull-up jump shot one-on-one on the defensive end, and directly fanned the ball to teammate Livingston.

Livingston and Thomas Jr. played together, and finally Thomas Jr. hit a three-point shot.

The Clippers' lead was erased in the blink of an eye.

Clippers head coach Vinnie was very calm at this time, because he knew Zhou Yang's strength.

It's a normal performance, there's no need to get angry.

After two more minutes, the Warriors were already leading by six points before the Clippers switched to the main lineup.

On the Warriors' side, they have also replaced Curry and other main players.

The two sides duel in the final stages of the first half.

The Clippers' main lineup is indeed strong, and even if Zhou Yang does his best to help defend, it is difficult to limit the Clippers' offense.

Griffin has improved a lot from last season.

Klay Thompson, on the other hand, was originally only a 3-and-D player, but his passing ability has improved a lot this season.

This surprised Zhou Yang.

Before the crossing, Thompson rarely passed the ball, as long as the ball was in his hand, it was a throw!

Of course, Thompson, who is at his peak, really doesn't need to pass the ball, because he is the best pitcher.

But Thompson in this world actually learned to pass with Paul......

Don't underestimate Thompson's passing.

He's got a great three-point game, and the people who defend him are fierce and sometimes get caught in the middle.

At this time, his passing often has the effect of being full of life.

Today, Zhou Yang and Curry were fooled.

Paul passed the ball to Thompson in the last five seconds!
