Xiaoka: After losing to the Nuggets last season, the management saw the weaknesses in the lineup and made targeted reinforcements.

In the preseason Clippers 94-102 Nuggets, Leonard only played the first half of the game.

After the game, Leonard said in an interview that this Clippers is the most comprehensive team since 2021 because the management has the opportunity to see what the team needs after losing to the Nuggets, who are all healthy.

Leonard said: "It's important because obviously the front office has a chance to see what we need - not just me missing a series. I can play the entire playoff series so they can see the reinforcements needed around Harden, myself, Zubac and other talented players on the team. The big man position in the second team has always been open, and the same is true for the four position. . Even the point guard position needs to be strengthened. So, if you look at our lineup, it feels like our age is a big problem, so we have to pay attention to the physical condition of the players. In this league, you just have to have fighting spirit and a good mentality."
