However, the current lineup of the Los Angeles Clippers was far from being as luxurious as before.
Last season, the Los Angeles Clippers formed the famous F4 lineup in the league. They wanted to play a big game last season in order to win the championship.
However, things did not go as he wished. The F4 lineup was indeed extremely luxurious, but that was only on the surface.
First, the F4 lineup was seriously aging. Other than Howard, Kobe, Gasol, and Nash were all over 30 years old. They had all reached the end of their peak.
Moreover, each of them was constantly injured. Under such circumstances, there were not many games where F4 could play at the same time.
More importantly, the F4 combination had a lot of conflicts with each other, and the conflict between Kobe and Howard was the most intense.
At the same time, because the Laker team had used a lot of salary space to form the F4 combination, the strength of their bench was weaker than other teams in the league.
In this situation of internal and external troubles, the Los Angeles Clippers barely managed to maintain their position in the top eight of the Western Conference in the final period of the regular season and made it into the playoffs.
However, Kobe suffered a serious injury from an Achilles tendon rupture in the final stages of the regular season, which further weakened the strength of the Los Angeles team.
In the end, in the first round of the playoffs, the Clippers were swept by the league's strong team, the Spurs, and ended the journey of last season.
In the offseason, Howard chose to leave the Los Angeles Clippers and come to the Houston Rockets.
Faced with the departure of Howard, Kobe's serious injury, and the aging lineup, the Los Angeles team also planned to rebuild.
After that, many young players came to the team, but no one could take charge alone.
During this season, Nash had also been on and off.
With only Gasol and Keyang leading the team, the team's record could be said to be very poor.
Excluding yesterday's game against the Raptors, they had 6 losses and 11 wins, ranking second to last in the Western Conference.
Even with last night's victory, they were still in the second-to-last position, only one game ahead of the last-to-last team, the Arizona Clippers.
So this season was destined to be a difficult season for the Los Angeles Clippers. If they wanted to continue to rebuild their glory, they had to put their best into training and games.
When the head coach of the Los Angeles Clippers, D'Antoni, saw that all the players had arrived, he immediately began to arrange the team's training tasks for the day.
There were many types of training, including basic training, physical training, and tactical training.
At the same time, the coach would also let each team carry out different exercises during training. For example, players such as guards and small forwards needed to strengthen their control of the ball. Therefore, the training task of the outside players was much heavier than that of the inside players.
Dribbling under the crotch, behind the back, dribbling in the middle of the road, and all kinds of ball control methods had to be mastered by the outside players.
The players inside the paint had to strengthen their ability to rebound, block, and block shots. During the game, they were the pillars of the team's paint.
And physical training was the most tiring, such as shuttle running, short-distance sprinting, jumping ability, and jumping ability training.
The training process could be said to be quite boring, but none of the players slacked off and did their best during training.
Especially under the leadership of the team's boss, Kobe, the most diligent player in the league, their enthusiasm for training was very high, and the team's training effect was much better than usual.
Apart from the two-hour break, the training of the Los Angeles Clippers never stopped.
By the time they finished their training, it was already past four in the afternoon.
After the training, Xue Feng went to the bench on the sidelines and drank a bottle of sports drink. He immediately felt much better.
Today's training was very tiring for him, but at the same time, he felt very happy.
It was very exciting to feel that he had gained something after such a sweaty training.
Suddenly, Xue Feng felt someone pat his shoulder.
He turned around and saw Nick Young.
"Hey, Xue! You trained very hard just now!"
Nick Yang said with a smile.
"Thank you, you too!"
Xue Feng replied.
However, he did not know why Nick Young had come to find him when the team's training had ended.
Just as Xue Feng was feeling puzzled, he heard Nick Yang speak his mind first.
"You were too stunning last night! Before that, I never noticed that you were so powerful.
I'm very excited to see a good player. Now I want to compete with you!”
"You want to fight me one-on-one?"
"That's right, let's fight bull. I've been to China, and I really like the word bullfighting!”
Nick Young nodded heavily, his face full of smiles, revealing his big white teeth.
