Su Qun said the Clippers are too old and it is difficult to win the championship

The 40-year-old Paul joins the Clippers, which immediately raises the team's average age. Currently, the average age of the Clippers is 33.2 years old. The only major rotation players under the age of 30 are Zubac, Collins and Jones Jr.

For this reason, Su Qun, a famous domestic basketball commentator, updated the video, saying that the way the Clippers form an older team shows that they seem to believe that experience can help the Clippers overcome the difficulties of the playoffs, and this approach runs contrary to the current trend. It is difficult for them to win the championship, and at most they only have two years to prove that they will disband in two years.

The Clippers are indeed very old compared to some teams. The average age of the Thunder who played in the Finals last year was only 24.7 years old. It is the youngest championship-winning team in the NBA history, and the opponent Pacers are also very young. This will be the main theme of the NBA in the future. The league is also supporting young teams now, which can be seen from the difficulty of getting a whistle.

Su Qun also said: "The Clippers are not without any chance. There are also older teams in history who won the championship, which is the Bulls in 1998 during the three consecutive championships. They are the oldest team in the NBA. But the pace was much slower than now, and they were less rounds of ball holding and shots than modern basketball. "

"Don't look at the fact that there are more three-pointers now, and it's done with one shot, it doesn't seem to be much consumption. But the defenders are expensive, they have to run back and forth, and they have to In this regard, switching defenses is more tiring than previous players. In the past, they played mostly inside, and big players consumed a lot. Now they switched defenses and defended in various ways, so the overall consumption would be much greater. "

Finally said: "The Clippers may achieve amazing results and rankings in the regular season, and even compete with the Thunder Rockets, but they passed four levels in a row to win the championship, and the success rate was very low. In the past two years, if they didn't work, they would disband. "

Look at the current salary structure of the Clippers. In two years, it seems that only Zubac is still in the contract. Ka, Harden and Bill all signed two-year contracts, and the last year are player options. By 2027, the Clippers can free up a lot of salary space and have many choices. They can directly enter the reconstruction, or they can reduce their salary and renew their contracts. They will give up if they don’t cut their salary.

I can only say that this general manager Frank is really amazing. Not only does he have the present, but he also has never forgotten the future. Regardless of whether the Clippers can win the championship next season, it is definitely a lot of traffic and popularity, and many fans will definitely pay attention to the Clippers' games. Not only are there two stars, Harden and Xiaoka, who can sell their visas, but Paul's "Last Dance" topic to attract traffic.

And he is not weak in his own strength. Xiaoka, who can play healthy, always brings many surprises to people. In addition, Harden's ability to support the bottom of the regular season, Bill and Collins' joining, and old cannon's ability to lead the bench. The direct playoffs should be very stable. No matter how hard it is, the top six should not be a big problem.

In fact, there are also benefits of old age. Many fans would rather watch the Clippers' regular season than the Young Finals. After all, young teams are really fined. You just say that the Clippers play the Warriors, the Clippers play the Lakers, are the Clippers play the Rockets more popular than the Thunder play these teams? More attractive?

And I feel that I want to win the championship now is not age or strength, it is the league and the referee. Whoever wants to win will win, and the control is really serious and obvious. In the playoffs last season, the Clippers and Nuggets wanted the Nuggets to win, but their strength was close, so the Nuggets won. When it comes to the Nuggets and the Thunder, they want the Thunder to win. The Thunder’s defense is not strong, but because of the different standards. Other teams will play the Thunder but not the same in the finals. Finally, under Xiao Hua’s rule, the youngest championship was produced, but the influence is not great, and many fans don’t buy it at all.

What do you think? Is Su Qun right? Is the Clippers no chance at all?
