On July 22, the Clippers signed Paul to form a super luxury lineup, with one ability strengthening, which can be said to immediately surpass the Thunder and become the No. 1 in the league.

When the Clippers signed Paul, many people were discussing that their team is too old and lacks adaptability, but in fact everyone has overlooked another major point. Now that Paul has joined the Clippers, the Clippers have a ability that has officially surpassed the Thunder and become the first in the league, which will become a very important magic weapon for them to compete for the championship.

The Thunder was able to win the championship last season because of one move, and central shots are still very important in the playoffs. In addition to Alexander's collision, central shots are indeed very accurate. Originally, the Thunder and Nuggets had very strong mid-range shots, so they seemed very dominant in the playoffs.

And this year, with Paul's direct airborne and joining the Clippers, the Clippers' Centre-range shot ability officially declared to be the first in the league. This may be a trick to change the situation in the playoffs, and they have fully strengthened this technology. Bill gradually evolved since last season and became a handsome mid-range shot. Paul is one of the strongest mid-range shot players in this league. He has always relied on mid-range shots to score points in his career. These two superstars have very strong mid-range shots first. Needless to say, Leonard's central shot is known as contemporary Jordan, and this central shot is also very powerful. Even Collins can occasionally shoot two, and Bogdanovic is the same. There are a group of handsome middle-time players around him. For Harden, that is the best way to activate him.

Because before, why was Harden easily restricted in the playoffs? It just relies on three-pointers and breakthroughs to create killing, and its ability to shoot in the CET is not good. Ka Xiao can help Harden solve some problems in CIIE and make up for technical shortcomings, but the problem is that he cannot take too much. Ka Jordan's CIIE quality is very high, but the output is not enough.

Now with the arrival of Bill and Paul, both of them can make more mid-range shots, reducing the pressure on Harden and Xiaoka. The Cardin combination is double-teamed, so Bill can have a mid-range distance. In addition, Paul has also come, making the Clippers' mid-range shot stronger. Collins occasionally has a few more icing on the cake. The team's mid-range shot ability is very powerful, which is a key and guarantee that they can achieve better results.

Mid-distance shooting occupies a very important position among the Thunder Nuggets, so don't underestimate this. This is an important improvement that the Clippers have made after signings this year. Originally, after getting Zubac and Daluo, the Clippers already had some high-quality heavy centers that could cooperate with Harden's pick-and-roll. Now Paul and Bill are coming again with the backhand. The Clippers' lineup has solved the biggest shortcoming in the playoffs. At present, in terms of mid-range shooting ability, they are definitely stronger than the Thunder and are already the top in the league.

is nothing more than one thing: can everyone in this lineup stay healthy? With so many players over 30 years old, how many people can successfully complete the game by the end of the season may be the only suspense. With the health of the Clippers, the ability of the Clippers should now be stronger than that of the Thunder.
