Pope of Basketball.

Summary

Paul joined the Clippers, raising hopes for the team. In his previous life, Paul was a contender for the regular season MVP in the 2007-2008 season. However, despite his impressive stats, he was still too young to win the award. The Clippers have two significant weaknesses: too many rookies and poor defense. Online, fans discussed the rosters of various teams and felt that the Clippers were strong enough to make the playoffs but would struggle to overshadow the Lakers and Cavaliers. The new players of the Clippers passed their physical exams and held a press conference, where they praised Yang Rui and stated they would strictly adhere to the tactics. Curry was asked if he would accept a bench role, and he said he was willing to accept any arrangements made by the coach. Curry then joined the Dream Team Nine training camp, where he met other players, including Griffin, Durant, and Rose. Yang Rui explained the roles of each player, with Rose and Westbrook responsible for ball-handling breakthroughs and chaotic counterattacks. Durant is the core of the team, capable of fast breaks and holding his ground in half-court battles. Granger and Iguodala focus on defense, playing as 3D players in half-court situations. Curry, Billups, and Gorden's task is to practice three-point shooting. The players trained together for two weeks on tactics and played four warm-up games, winning comfortably with an average margin of 27.6 points. Griffin stood out, becoming the most popular player on the team, while Curry was the weakest performer, with almost no playing time. Curry was frustrated and sought one-on-one matchups against Rose and Westbrook to prove his worth. However, the outcome was a dead end, and Curry was on the brink of breaking down.
