The Clippers internal pillars have worked hard enough, but it s a pity that the performance of the two cores can be called a disaster?

In the previous NBA regular season, the Utah Jazz, playing at home, surprisingly easily defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 129-108. After this game, the Jazz got a good start to the new season, but the poor state and competitiveness shown by the Clippers in this game is really worrying.

Although the Clippers suffered a disastrous defeat in this game, the performance of the team's inside pillar Ivica Zubac was actually pretty good. Zubac played 27 minutes and 11 seconds, made 9 of 13 shots, 1 of 1 free throw, and scored 19 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block, including 3 offensive rebounds and 2 turnovers, with a plus-minus of -21. Zubac also showed good scoring ability under the basket on the offensive end and seized the opportunity to score a lot of points. He also showed a certain passing ability and coordination ability. He also worked hard on the defensive end and had good results. Zubac is the best player among the Clippers' starting players. Unfortunately, the performance of the team's two core players was outrageous and they did not show any competitiveness at all. Although Zubac worked very hard and although his condition looked quite good, he was unable to help the team turn the situation around. In the end, the Clippers suffered a defeat.

In the NBA regular season last season, Zubac played a total of 80 times in 82 games, averaging 32.8 minutes per game. He averaged 16.8 points, 12.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.7 steals, 1.1 blocks, 1.6 turnovers and 2.1 fouls. He shot 62.8% from the field and 68.1% from the free throw line. In the playoffs, Zubac played a total of 7 times, averaging 36.6 minutes per game. He averaged 17.4 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 1 block per game. He also had 1.6 turnovers and 2.7 fouls. He shot 65.9% from the field and 53.8% from the free throw line. During the preseason, Zubac played a total of 4 times, averaging 19.7 minutes per game. He averaged 8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.2 steals per game. He also had 1.8 turnovers and 1 foul. He shot 65.2% from the field and 25% from the free throw line.

Zubac's performance last season was very stable. He was also a key factor in the Clippers' ability to perform well in the regular season last season and to reach the tiebreaker in the playoff series against the Denver Nuggets. In the first game of the new season, it seems that Zubac's stability is still very outstanding. He has also proven his ability to provide huge help and support to the team on both offense and defense. However, the two big brothers with high salaries can only produce such a dismal performance. What's the use of Zubac's efforts? People who don't know think Zubac is the boss of this Clippers!
