The next two games are against the Jazz and Spurs.

Su Chen's two games still continued the tactics of the previous three games, and Jokic's [Ability Value Fixed] can also be used all the time.

The Jazz finished last season in the bottom of the West.

Hayward is the only star player on the team, and Hayward himself does not belong to the superstar level, his ability to lead the team is basically like that.

Playing jazz is easier than fighting kings.

It's a little harder to play Spurs.

However, the current Spurs have also withdrawn from the ranks of the top teams.

GDP has slipped out of the peak, even Duncan has not caught the tail of the peak, and the combat effectiveness of the entire Spurs is no longer the same level as last season.

Although Leonard is still growing, Leonard has just touched the threshold of star players, and he still needs to grow before he is a real superstar.

Moreover, among the young players of the Spurs, there is no one who can be a qualified helper for Leonard.

Danny Green is not bad, but he is still a 3-and-D player, and his shooter is not an elite shooter.

What Leonard really relies on is actually GDP, as well as the role players of the old Spurs.

But with their regression, the overall strength of the Spurs is also clearly declining.

Originally, the battle between Jokic and Duncan made many people look forward to it.

After all, the two play more or less similarly, Duncan is also an axis in the Spurs, and Duncan's organization can support the entire Spurs system.

But now the old Duncan is obviously in a regressive state, where can he beat Jokic at the peak of 80% of his ability.

The Clippers won both games again.

Won a wave of five consecutive wins in the opening game.

This made the Clippers jump to the first place in the league at the beginning of the season and sit firmly on the throne.

In the last five games, Jokic has started all of them, averaging a triple-double of 20+10+10 per game.

In the big ball market, he played the first place in the league, and he was also a rookie to lead the team.

That is, Jokic is an international player, and he is an interior player who leans in the technical direction.

If he is an outside player with strong athletic talent, or a fierce man with a strong inside line, the league may have used all its resources to support him at this time.

But even then, Jokic has made a name for himself.

And it's still a more inspirational story, because Jokic is a second-round pick.

What failed in the draft, the counterattack in the second round of the show, is very in line with the main line of the development of the movie's story.

At the same time, he is also a player selected by Su Chen, a legendary coach, which makes people tout Jokic even higher.

What an inside magician, Olajuwon in the small-ball era, O'Neal in the floor flow

A whole bunch of messy nicknames were blown for Jokic.

For the touting of the outside line, Su Chen didn't feel anything.

Jokic is still too young to be praised by these media no matter what.

After being praised and encountering any setbacks, these media will step on it mercilessly.

As an era of traffic-oriented, they don't care if these will ruin a player.

Now there is no doubt about Jokic's tactical position in the team, so Su Chen also plans to change his focus.

"Let's get off the game and practice the value of other rookies."

Su Chen looked at the schedule.

At this time, Su Chen naturally planned to revoke the skill of [Ability Value Fixation] used on Jokic first.

The next opponent is the Warriors.

Speaking of a team like the Warriors, it is quite restrained by Kic.

Because Jokic is difficult to defend, a super shooter like Curry who can shoot with a little space, even if Jokic is given 80% of his ability, it is difficult for him to defend.

Besides, now that the outside world is touting Jokic so much, it is better to let Jokic suffer a setback now than to let Jokic be hit and fall after being praised high.

At the same time, in order to strengthen the forward line, the small defenders who can be brushed in the team should also be brushed up quickly.

Golden State.

At this time, the Clippers had just beaten the Spurs, a powerhouse in the playoffs last season, and won five consecutive wins to rank first in the league, and the team's morale was high.

But in fact, this season's Warriors are also undefeated, but because of the schedule, they have played one less game than the Clippers, so they are 0.5 wins behind the Clippers.

Thompson and Curry have reached their peak, and Kerr's tactics have been implemented into the team.

It's just that now the momentum of the Clippers is too strong, and it is rare for the outside world to be optimistic about the Clippers once.

In the pre-game period, many media outlets were optimistic that the Clippers could beat the Warriors and win six in a row.

And the coach also has an advantage over the Clippers, and last season, Kerr was like a toy in Su Chen's hands.

In fact, the Warriors have an advantage over the Timberwolves lineup, but Kerr was seen through and was purely played with.

Cole also looked very serious in this game.

Obviously, for last season, Su Chen's suppression of him made Kerr feel a lot of pressure.

This game is obviously just a regular season game, but for Kerr, it is played as a playoff game.

This offseason, Kerr was scolded by the Warriors again.

Even his supportive boss, Lacob, has wavered a little from him, and Cole is under considerable pressure right now.

For this game, Kerr cares a lot.

Moreover, the Clippers are now at the top of the league with five consecutive wins, and the rise of Jokic, plus George and Lillard.

The Clippers are already a playoff powerhouse, and even when the Clippers' roster runs in a little better, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a championship candidate.

Cole, who was originally like a great enemy, was very tense from the beginning, and he was serious when he shook hands.

But as he fought, Cole's expression was a little stiff.

At the end of the third quarter.

Warriors 87:62 Clippers.

In the third quarter, Curry's three-point rain broke out, leaving the Clippers powerless and leading the Clippers by 25 points at the end of the third quarter.

In fact, there was a lot of lead at halftime, but Cole was still very serious, and he always felt that Su Chen had some big moves.

But in this third quarter, the game was all spent.

Cole couldn't help but look at the Clippers, looking at Su Chen's expression with a calm face, Cole felt nervous again.

"Could it be that even 25 points behind is in his calculations?"

Cole had just slackened and tensed again.

Until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

Warriors 117: 88 Clippers.

The Warriors, sitting at home, won the Clippers by 29 points.

Cole was stunned.

Where did Su Chen go last season, how did it look like he played a weak team?

The audience watching the live broadcast in front of the TV couldn't hold back either.

Originally, many people were optimistic about the Clippers in this game.

After all, the Clippers are riding a five-game winning streak, Jokic's rise, and Lillard and George are on the rise of a Big Three.

But the whole audience came down.

The Clippers don't seem to have a way to deal with the Splash Brothers' projection, and Jokic can't prevent it at all, relying on the outside players to chase it themselves.

At the same time, Jokic, who had been attacking on the inside before, was struggling in this game.

In the case that Jokic himself can't open the situation, he can't attract the defense, and if he can't mobilize the Warriors' defense, it will naturally be difficult to give assists.

After all, the Warriors directly take person-to-man, hugging one by one, and rarely have empty seats at all.

Lillard wants to respond to Curry, but his ability is still a little worse than Curry's.

The two are the first and second people in the league to shoot three-pointers with the ball, but the gap is still a bit big.

George incarnated Porter Jr. this time, constantly holding the ball in three-point play, but without the containment of his teammates, his shooting percentage was average.

The new triumvirate combination suffered a defeat in front of the Warriors.

In this game, Jokic only got 11 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, and all aspects have shrunk greatly.

George and Lillard also did not contribute a consistent 20+, and the two of them scored 13 points and 16 points, both of which are inefficient offenses.

It was Clarkson on the bench who broke out.

Clarkson came off the bench and scored 23 points on 13 shots.

This efficiency compares to the starters.

Clarkson was able to break out with such a record, naturally Su Chen did it.

According to Clarkson's characteristics, he designed tactics, and at the same time, he also gave Clarkson the skill of [Ability Value Fixation].

Clarkson, who has 80% ability at his peak, combined with his most comfortable offensive method, is also comfortable scoring points with the Warriors' starting staggered trip.

Jokic didn't play this time, also because [Ability Value Fixed] Su Chen canceled it for him.

Jokic, who was already accustomed to 80% of his peak ability, still played the ball the way before, but some balls just couldn't be shot.

"During this time, Jokic, you can practice with weights."

Su Chen glanced at Jokic, who was a little depressed, and couldn't help but smile in his heart.

Speaking of which, Su Chen's team is simply outrageous for Dugou.

When everyone thinks that Su Chen will lose, Su Chen will win for you.

When everyone thinks that Su Chen has won so much, he should continue to win, and Su Chen will immediately lose to you again.

Pure torture of those tukers.

In the next game, I don't know if the Clippers are going to win or lose.

Losing a game, Jokic didn't play a good game, which made many Clippers fans more tolerant.

In the last game, Jokic's offense can be said to be not very good.

At least in the last five games, Jokic has shown his playmaking talent, and that can't be fooled.

Even within the Clippers.

Lillard and George, neither have much of an opinion on Jokic.

After all, Jokic is still a rookie, and because of his fame, he has been studied by other teams, and it is normal for him to hit the rookie wall early.

Instead, Lillard and George also encouraged Jokic.

Because in the last five games, they have seen Jokic's ceiling.

Both Lillard and George are in Jokic and see what they don't have, and that's playmaking under high-intensity matchups.

The Warriors lost the game, not because Jokic was poorly organized, but because the offense didn't work.

And they didn't play well either, so naturally there is nothing to blame.

And in the last game, Clarkson played a good performance, which made them feel that the team has strengthened by another point.

The Clippers are back-to-back schedules, and after playing in Golden State, they are going to Oklakma to challenge the Thunder.

The outside world is still relatively tolerant of the Clippers.

Su Chen's reputation as a championship coach, coupled with the talent Jokic has shown in the past five games, it is normal to not play well in one game occasionally.

It is reasonable to play the Thunder, who is absent from Durant, and it is also easy to play.

Westbrook leads the team, and here is Jokic and George Lillard's lineup, even if Jokic is still not performing well, but there are George and Lillard not.

Such a Clipper can't lose to the Clippers, right?

Thunder fans feel that their home team may be difficult to beat each other, after all, Durant is absent.

But Westbrook clearly doesn't accept being beaten by the Clippers.

Thunder 109: 106 Clippers.

In this game, Westbrook showed the strength of the MVP turtle, scoring a big triple-double of 36 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists in the game.

Crawford, who was traded to the Thunder at the same time, also hit hard in the face of his old club, scoring 27 points.

Durant's absence of the ball went to Crawford, and it was clear that Crawford was carrying the production.

Even George personally went to defend Crawford, but he was beaten into the background by Crawford, and was also entered into the 2+1 of the top five ball level.

George and Lillard deliberately improved their shots this time, and the two contributed 20+ points again, but Jokic continued to slump.

If it weren't for Clarkson on the bench to prop up again, the Clippers wouldn't have been able to reach the last offensive round with the Thunder.

Clarkson scored another 25 points in this game, and his efficiency value is higher than Lillard and George.

The Clippers, who were once in first place, fell to third in the West after two consecutive defeats.

The Warriors sit firmly in the first place in the West.

At the same time, the Rockets, who are not favored by the Clippers, are overtaking in the corners to second in the West, and Harden has ushered in an evolution this season.

Next.

The outside world's evaluation of the Clippers has begun to decline.

When losing to the No. 1 Warriors in the West, Jokic didn't play well, and the media was more patient this time and didn't start stepping on it.

After all, the Warriors are now No. 1 in the West, and they haven't played well.

But losing to the Thunder without Durant is a bit abstract.

And this is Jokic's second consecutive bad performance, such a poor consecutive performance, almost hitting the rookie wall.

At the beginning, the media bragged about Jokic, and now these media are about to start stepping on Jokic.

And it's not just Jokic who is being stepped on, even Lillard and George are being stepped on in the same way.

Lillard and Curry of the same type are simply incomparable, and at the same time being suppressed by Paul, Lillard is now very embarrassed.

After all, trading chips are expensive.

Just like the later Gobert was basically scolded for any performance after 1 for 10.

In fact, if you don't brag or black, his playing data is okay, but compared with his chips and salary, it has not reached the level it should be, so he will naturally be scolded.
