Su Qun: The Clippers want to pass four consecutive levels in the playoffs and win the championship is very low. If they don t work in the next two years, they will have to break up.
Recently, famous speaker Su Qun updated the social media about the Clippers with many veterans. He believes that if the Clippers fail in the past two years, they will have to break up. The following is some of the content.
After Paul, who is 40 years old, officially returned to the Clippers, the average age of the team has reached 33.2 years old, becoming the oldest team in NBA history. Such an old team must be invincible in experience, but have their chances of winning the championship become even greater?
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. In this year's Finals, the Pacers and Thunder teams averaged 25.5 years old, setting the youngest record in NBA Finals history. The Thunder, with an average of 24.7 years old, is the youngest championship in history.
Youngering is an inevitable result of the NBA's renewal. It appears regularly every once in a while, but if you lengthen the timeline a little, you can find that the younger generation that is emerging today is not just regular renewals, but the general trend also shows that the teams participating in the finals are getting younger and younger.
Because basketball has changed now. Many people only notice that today's basketball has a higher proportion of three-pointers, and even noticed that the pace of offense and defense conversion is accelerating, but are unwilling to admit that today's basketball has higher requirements for endurance and confrontation. All of this is based on a younger body.
Cole has directed the Warriors to play the playoffs since 2015. He is a witness and witness of the drastic changes in basketball style in the past 10 years. The 2014-15 Warriors team he commanded is also one of the youngest champion teams in history, with an average age of 26.4 years. But Cole noted that the obvious acceleration of pace and the massive increase in three-pointers (pce&space) puts players today in the face of unprecedented physical stress.
Compared with the Thunder, Pacers, and Celtics, the Clippers have older players as the team, and all their strength savings are for the next two seasons, because Leonard's contract only has these two seasons left. Although Harden and Bill have two seasons left, they can choose not to execute the 2026-27 season.
The teams that have been older but won the championship in history are the Heat in 2013, the Spurs in 2014 and the Mavericks in 2011. The largest champion team in history with an average age was the 1998 Bulls. According to the current structure of the Clippers, unless the dominant chemistry occurs like the Bulls in 1998, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not capsize when they hit the layers of dangerous shoals in the playoffs.
The Clippers may achieve amazing results and rankings in the regular season, and even compete with the Thunder Rockets, but they have passed four consecutive levels to win the championship, with a very low success rate. In the past two years, if it doesn't work, it will break up.
