Clippers: Growing Pains

Chris Paul 14 years old, his Sev Francis high school team to recruit people, his brother CJ is the team's star point guard, and continue to recommend Paul into team workouts, the results coach a look at Paul, head shaken like a rattle: "so short, the game no matter how useless ah!" Paul angrily back to his grandfather's gas station team of the organization Jones - Chevron to play, because his grandfather told him that growth must be experienced many things, rather than the body has been aloof as a spectator. After this thing, basically similar to the Great God - Michael Jordan, when he really let the coach can not ignore their existence, Paul is already full of North Carolina high school star, the third year before graduation, he solemnly accepted from Wake Forest University Skip - Prosser coach invitations, and set her on to the road to the envy of many youth basketball superstar.

Blake - Griffin until the eighth grade (the equivalent of two days), are at home directly from the mother to do tutoring, while the father to act as he and his Getai Le's basketball coach. And his childhood playmate, Griffin, not at all feel that what is missing, the only think that is strange when Oklahoma church high school into the real, because his father is the basketball coach there large Ge Taile with this school and even most of the time will be and their loved ones together, rather than his classmates. So his father told him: "I feel a little difficult and it does not matter, always try to do the first time, eventually they and everyone else, have a common topic, the same thoughts and feelings." After that, the small grid Fen Lane quickly find the topics allow the students around him proud - basketball and chasing the dream of flying all the way to leave Oklahoma, he even went to Los Angeles, became a basketball world-renowned force Fen .

I want to say is: and the kind of difficulties they faced in the process of grown compared to the two juvenile stadium of fame pride in the face after a team with at teething problems, it is some small .

U.S. time on December 12, 2011, when Chris Paul - transfer soap opera would be strong stranded, the Hornets finally agreed to their darlings transfer to Los Angeles - not the Lakers, but Los Angeles Clippers. This news just announced that the young Blake - Griffin could not suppress his excitement vision of his and Paul's alley-oop, he even said that Los Angeles has become a "City of the alley-oop (LOB CITY); Paul finally came to the big city big market he wants to join the irrepressible overflowing happiness: the preseason against the city boss Lakers, Paul and Griffin whipped up and down, directly swept the Lakers, regardless of the data and results are satisfactory. In the opinion of the Los Angeles media, internal and outside combination like the one pair of perfect match of beauty, they even wrote in the newspaper sports headline: "- Chris Paul's arrival might make the Clippers change in the four major sports image of the league has always been a loser (loser). "

Then open the regular season to play, in addition to the applause of the opener against the Warriors, was surprised to find that the Clippers are not as they imagine so powerful, Spurs and Bulls two teams has become a touchstone, even though Paul and Griffin have The best individual performance: Paul's three-game field averaged 15 points and 10.7 assists; Griffin is averaging 28 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2 assists, but the Clippers score is 1 win and 2 losses, and to ensure that the team overall combat opponent compared to the gap between the Clippers too much is an indisputable fact; fans expected the chemical reaction, have not been able to appear.

But if you conclude that the combination and the team has entered the ranks of overvalued, so it is somewhat unfair: Paul has been six years into the league this year but 26-year-old, while forging their bodies as Transformers Griffin, in general less than 23 years old, but played only one season. Paul has strong contender NBA First Team, All-Star regulars and Union doing my top three point guards; Griffin is with the past two summers almost masochistic self-mutilation-style training to become a hold of all the the power forward of the forward offensive skills (yes, a small forward with that fat man named Charles Barkley - In addition to the location is in the opposite direction of the remaining progress is basically the same). These, enough to allow us to make judgments in accordance with, if you think that is not enough, you can add preseason Clippers Shuangsheng the Lakers two people: almost never cooperated with two people, Paul averaged 12 points and 9.5 times of the data assists; Griffin averaged 21 points and 5.5 rebounds. The process of the game when two people caused by the tacit cooperation, which is sufficient to complete the great progress.
Fat or just that small forward named Charles Barkley - For example: so after the Barcelona Olympics in 1992 he departed for the new base, Phoenix, and many commentators are not optimistic about the chemical reaction of the sun after he joined the team point guard Kevin - Johnson's character is completely runs counter to Buckley, both how to produce work together to become a question. In this season, Charles Barkley - to the field averaged 25.6 points and 12.2 rebounds in NBA history three players won the regular season MVP in the first year after the transfer, personal attack capability, known Kevin - Johnson technical statistics of the regular season is 16.1 points and 7.8 assists per game; the playoffs is a stable 17.8 points and 7.9 assists. The team reached the finals, if not suffered - Michael Jordan big God and his bull ... re-Let's talk about the story of the elderly, in fact, only one purpose: the first with Charles Barkley and Kevin - Johnson wound age the age of 30 and 27 years old, so take a look at the Griffin and Paul really is a harbor expectations and promising. Do not they run early that is not be lost, the pair eventually after half a season to let you see they have immediate shine.

All things must be experienced and overcome the negative factors, as long as you desire to grow. Each real growth story, and the beginning of this article tells exactly the same.
