"It seems that the Rockets are not yet aware of the power of this ball-holding nucleus."

Su Chen couldn't help but smile on the sidelines.

The game continued.

For Harden's defensive strategy, it still continues to make up for it inside, and Harden's defenders turn to cut off Harden's connection with his teammates.

Harden is also very uncomfortable in the face of such a defensive style.

In fact, this strategy, if it can really limit Harden, it may not be.

The first is that Harden's current skills have not yet reached the real peak, and he has not achieved the ceiling of left and right hand control skills, whether it is George's defense against him or Barnes's defense against him, they are all defending one side and putting one side.

Harden has no way to play his true strength, whether it is touching porcelain or controlling the ball, there is an awkward feeling.

The second is that the Rockets' lineup is too weak now to give Harden too much support.

Yes, this season's Rockets are rushing to a far position, but what is that lineup and what is it now?

Josh Smith, Happymon, Brewer, Jason Terry, Capella

This is the rotation roster that the Rockets really went far in the playoffs.

Now this Rocket, Ariza is one of the rotation members, and the others are the guys that the Rockets are ready to trade.

Even in the case of Su Chen's targeting of Harden, these people from the Rockets did not grasp the opportunity brought by Harden's attraction to defense.

Of course, it's not that easy to catch.

Around the ball-holding core, it is still necessary to match a ball-holding core or two ball-holding small cores at the same level, or a pure super singlesman.

The closest Harden really came to a championship was in the '17 season.

Harden has a big core with the ball, and Paul has a big core with the ball, and he beat the universe with Durant to the tie-break.

After the G6 and G7 Rockets did not have Paul, they relied on Harden's ball-holding core, and they were immediately pressed by the Universe to win two games in a row.

That year, who really fought with the Cavaliers, who could win the championship.

The Cavaliers that season were basically the same as the Heat last season, and even inferior to the Heat.

Wade is playing with an injury, Irving is unavailable, and the role players are a group of veterans.

Harden, who did not have the support of his teammates, was still quite weak after being targeted.

On the other hand, the Clippers are on their side.

Capela has played to his potential, outperforming Donatas Motaiyunas in terms of pick-and-roll quality, rebounds and inside scoring.

However, it can't be compared like this, Donatas Motaiyunas belongs to himself, and he can attack with the ball, not a pie-eating type.

But the problem is that Harden is not very suitable for this kind of interior line that wants to attack with the ball.

Even Embiid has to dye his little yellow hair, let alone Donatas Motaiyunas.

Dinwiddie, who plays with a small core with the ball, is quite comfortable playing in the Clippers' lineup.

Rockets simply could not target him.

Because George is still on the court, whether George has the ball or not, when George is standing on the court, the Rockets have to pay attention to him.

That's the power of a star player.

At the same time, Batum can be used as a midpoint for the team, and in addition to three-point and inside cuts, he also has a bit of ball-handling ability, which makes it impossible for the Rockets to target Dinwiddie at all.

The rocket's offense became a bit stuck.

Although the Clippers' offense is not particularly ferocious, they have a clear eye for every move, and they are reasonable anyway.

The hit rate of a reasonable ball, as long as it doesn't feel particularly bad, the efficiency is still passable.

In this game, the whole Clippers team was at the mercy of Dinwiddie, allowing Dinwiddie, a small core with the ball, to also experience the feeling of a big core with the ball.

With the end of the game.

Rockets 87: 90 Clippers.

The two sides didn't play by a big score in this game, and the Clippers won this one on the road.

After winning against the Rockets, the Clippers' record also came: 12-3.

The team also ushered in a small wave of three consecutive wins.

Although Harden's statistics in this game are still very good, scoring 31 points, Harden's plus/minus is only -2 under Su Chen's targeting.

Dinwiddie didn't score that high, though.

In the whole game, Dinwiddie got a double-double of 25 points, 12 assists and 1 steal.

Under Dinwiddie's combing, the team played well.

Originally, Rockets fans still thought that without Lillard, Jokic, and Clarkson's three starters, the Rockets could easily win this card battle.

However, Dinwiddie's sideways appearance made the Rockets lose the card battle, and they were a little further away from the second place in the West.

Next.

The Clippers are firmly in second place in the West, and Dinwiddie led the Clippers to a 25+12 victory over the Rockets, which immediately made the headlines.

"Jokic, Clarkson, the Clippers' third super rookie appears!" 》

"The second round of treasure hunting! Take stock of all the second-round shows selected by Su Chen. 》

"The rest of Lillard and Clarkson has left them with a competitor again, and the Clippers' backcourt is fiercely competitive!" 》

Now the outside world is still paying a lot of attention to the Clippers.

Whether it is Ballmer, the super-rich man, or the Clippers, who were originally in the big ball market, and Su Chen, who joined with a championship ring.

This has made the Clippers full of topics.

Such a topic, let alone in Minnesota, even when he was in Golden State, Su Chen had never felt so strong.

After all, the Golden State championship atmosphere at that time had not yet been created, and the team's record was not particularly good.

Regarding Su Chen's manager's ability, many people are slowly changing their views.

At first, I felt that Su Chen was just trying to build the lineup he wanted to coach, but now, no matter what, Su Chen's draft vision is simply the top level in the industry.

One season might be a touch, but now it's been two seasons in a row.

Even Gobert and others, who were traded out by Su Chen last season, are actually slowly playing out now, but they are not as smooth as they are under Su Chen.

Now Su Chen's draft ability is not only recognized by fans, but even the industry has been amazed by Su Chen's draft vision after analysis.

Even if Dinwiddie only played one good game, with Su Chen's habits, he must be optimistic about Dinwiddie's talent to be so entrusted.

But new problems have also arisen.

The Clippers' backcourt was too crowded.

Dinwiddie, Clarkson, and Reggie need to compete for the time free up in the backcourt.

Lillard was ruled out, Lillard has proven his star level after all, and Su Chen will not trade Paul if he does not approve of Lillard.

Lillard has been playing for a long time, and the three of them are competing for the rest, which is clearly not enough.

Defenders are not better than forwards, defenders really need the ball to feed.

A good defender often doesn't give him the ball, and his confidence in the ball feels is constantly declining.

It's not like the front line can be stacked with a bunch, anyway, the front line is in high demand, and it can be used at any time.

Without holding the ball, he mainly defends and shoots fixed-point threes, plug and play.

In addition, since last season, Su Chen has also made the move of exchanging rookies for instant combat power.

Combined with this, it is not difficult to speculate that Su Chen has plans to trade the backcourt, so the managers of the major teams in the league have begun to notice the Clippers.

These guards of the Clippers, except for Dinwiddie, have not really proven themselves, and they can all play any single out.

There are quite a few teams in the league that need defenders.

For example, the Rockets, who just played a game against the Clippers, need a capable guard to share the burden of Harden.

Especially in the last game, after Harden was well targeted by Su Chen, this made the Rockets more recognize the idea of finding a secondary attacker for Harden.

Even Dinwiddie, who hasn't proven himself in more games, is very interested.

It would be nice to give the team an extra ball-handling nucleus.

Many appraisal agencies are already preparing to conduct new evaluations for the post-trade Clippers.

The Clippers still have a pretty good record, with 12 wins and 3 losses.

In addition, Su Chen has won the championship for two consecutive seasons, and the Clippers' record and configuration are qualified to enter the ranks of championship team contenders.

The reason why the Timberwolves were not optimistic about the Timberwolves last season was because the Timberwolves did not have a serious star player.

Clippers Anyway, Lillard and George, two real stars, although they are still a little starry away from superstars.

But there is, after all.

The interior line, which was not favored, appeared Jokic and Capela, who gradually showed his talent, and Batum's performance at power forward was also okay.

This made the Clippers wind rating slowly rise.

Of course, whether it can really become a championship contender depends on whether the Clippers will have a rookie change in the future.

The Clippers have faced two championship favorites, the Cavaliers and the Warriors, both of whom have lost by a wide margin this season.

It's hard to say whether the Clippers can be championship contenders at all.

Regarding the outside world's evaluation of the Clippers, Su Chen didn't care.

What he cares about is the outside world's evaluation of Dinwiddie and Clarkson, after all, this is really a good bargaining chip!

The Clippers' game continued.

The next five games of the Clippers, the opponents are:

Jazz, Knicks, Magic, Pelicans, Suns.

The Clippers had a good schedule at the beginning, and in the last five games, the Pelicans were barely a playoff-caliber team.

But in the original timeline, it was also eighth in the West, facing the level where the Warriors were directly swept away.

And in the swept games, there was not a single game, and the moment of victory and defeat was basically a relatively large score.

In the recent games, Su Chen naturally has to go all out to win.

After all, this is a game for Dinwiddie and Clarkson.

Just brushing the data is not a skill, and winning the game and brushing the data is called a skill.

Otherwise, it is inevitable that some people will say that gossip is a data brush, which affects the trading market.

Winning the game and brushing the data, who dares to say that it is a data brush, you have the ability to brush the data while leading the team to win?

If you can brush the data to lead the team to win, that's not called a data brush, that's called MVP!

Of course, there are tricks to this.

After all, there are George and Lillard, and even if they don't touch the ball and just stand on the court, they don't dare to target him as a rookie who wants to brush the data.

And there's Jokic's assist, as well as Capela's high-quality pick-and-roll.

The most important thing is that Su Chen's various items and skills now assist them, which also allows them to exert extraordinary strength.

This environment for brushing data is called a comfortable environment.

In these five games, Su Chen also showed his full morning mode, and in every game, he played very seriously.

What Eagle Eye, Reuse Stamina Drink, Burst Penalty Moment, Hot Zone Ignition, Ability Value Fixation, Pre-Game Training

A bunch of auxiliaries are available for them.

At the same time, Lillard's shots were deliberately reduced, and Reggie was not even given playing time.

Even Lillard Su Chen gave him an occasional rotation.

While winning all five games, Clarkson and Dinwiddie both put up good numbers.

One brush two pairs, one brush points, the division of labor is still relatively clear.

Clarkson brushed according to the average of 25 per game, and Dinwiddie brushed according to 18+10.

The playing time is enough, the tactical position is full, and the right to shoot is full.

Su Chen didn't pretend anymore, it was clear that it was brushing, and it depended on what price the other managers of the alliance gave.

Anyway, you can win, you can't use data brushes to lower prices, right?

After winning these five games against the Jazz, Knicks, Magic, Pelicans, and Suns.

The Clippers' record is 16-3.

At the same time, after winning against the Suns, the team also came to an eight-game winning streak.

After the Clippers' eight-game winning streak, their record directly surpassed the Warriors, who had recently gained momentum, and jumped to the first place in the West.

And it's not just the first place in the West, the Hawks with the best record in the East are not as good as the Warriors, so the Clippers are now also the first in the league.

The Clippers have been so strong lately that the major companies have adjusted the odds of the Clippers, and all of a sudden they are in third and second place.

Of course, the major companies and institutions know that the Clippers have recently eaten the dividends of their records.

But if you want to eat dividends, you have to have your own strength.

The schedule is good, but you can't beat it, isn't that the case with a bunch of teams?

Many teams that are good-looking can't understand when they play a tank team, and they are often overturned by the tank team.

At least from the current point of view, the Clippers are still very stable, and they are more ruthless.

Moreover.

Analysts at professional institutions are also well aware that although the Clippers' recent opponents are not strong, the Clippers are not using their full strength.

The Clippers started the game very strongly, relying on Jokic's three-core style of play Lillard George.

Although Jokic has declined, Jokic has slowly begun to regain his feeling recently, and the strength of the Clippers should be the strongest when they return to the three-core style of play.

But recently, Su Chen has been vigorously cultivating two rookies.

The tactical tilt was both tilted in favor of the two rookie guards, and the team won with the two rookies getting the stats.

It is equivalent to the Clippers' schedule, but the Clippers did not come up with the strongest form, and they won eight consecutive games while playing.

And according to the development of last season, Su Chen has not yet carried out the operation of rookie change.

Hurry up the odds now, and don't dare to continue to wait for Su Chen to exert his strength.

The Clippers played so well that Paul, who was far away in Portland, hated it.

The Trail Blazers' record has been mediocre lately.

The main thing is that the team's center Lopez Jr. and his cooperation, the efficiency of eating cakes is too low, and it is not at the same level as Jordan Jr.

And Aldridge is not as compatible with him as he thinks.
