Paul, the person who changed the environment

Although people often make fun of Paul in the Clippers without touching the floor of the Western Conference Finals, to be honest: Before Paul went to the Clippers, the team was not even a bottom-skinned, basically a place of curse: injuries gathered, star black holes, bastard boss. Los Angeles fans have watched it for more than 30 years and have only seen four playoffs.

The year before Paul came, Griffin was already a rookie of the year, but the team only won 32 times.

As soon as Paul arrived, the Clippers have been playing for six consecutive years.

The team history has only six Western Conference semifinals, and he has played three times.

The top five seasons in the regular season in the team history are all engraved with his name.

a little earlier.

The Hornets won 18 in 2005. Paul won 38 in the second year.

Paul was in the third grade and directly led the Hornets to 56 wins, and the MVP vote was a little behind Kobe. The Hornets' teammates are not considered big names now:

David West was a substitute in the past two years. After partnering with Paul, he averaged 17 points and 7 rebounds per game, winning the second player who has improved the fastest. His only two All-Stars in his career were all benefited from Paul. That year, Paul only fed West 171 times, ranking ninth among the league's assist partners. This has not yet been counted as 216 times for Peja and 150 times for Tyson Chandler.

Tyson Chandler wasted five years in Chicago, and in the last year he only had 5 points and 9 rebounds. He matched Paul and immediately scored 10 points and 12 rebounds, with a shooting percentage of 62%: Paul gave Chandler 144 assists directly under the basket in the season.

Later, when he arrived at the Clippers, Jordan Jr. also had the same script: in the past two years, the substitute averaged 5 points and 5 rebounds per game, and after playing with Paul for several years, the rebounding king became commonplace, and he took it for a while, even the first round of the year - that year Paul fed him 143 cakes, and 137 were sent directly to the basket.

Jordan Jr. can enter the year - no matter how he thinks of this, it is incredible.

The Hornets used two years from 18 to 56 wins; the Clippers entered the playoffs in the first fourteen years, and he came and went for six consecutive years; the Rockets won the highest team history 65 wins in the first year, and almost overturned the Warriors; the Thunder just sent George, Westbrook and Melon that year, and it was obvious that they wanted to rebuild, but he led a group of young people to the playoffs and won the seventh MVP.

In the 2020 sun, Ayton also tasted the sweetness. Paul's 143 assists allowed the young man to directly enter the finals, becoming the second best-selling combination in the league, second only to the 194 times that Zhu Meng gave Curry.

The Suns had never tasted the playoffs in ten years. Paul felt the third finals in the team history as soon as he arrived. He won 64 directly in the second year, setting a team history record.

Before Paul went to the Spurs last season, the Spurs won 22; Paul is here, 34 wins, the team's regular season assist king steals the king, and the contribution is the first in the team.

It may be luck to make a team better occasionally. Bird, General, Duncan, and Kidd have all done things that "as soon as they arrive at a certain team, they will make a big splash."

But with such high frequency as Paul, the environment will instantly improve almost every first year of a team. In NBA history, there should be no second one.
