Three factors that can help the old club win the championship after Chris Paul returns to the Clippers

Chris Paul officially announced his return to the Los Angeles Clippers. In his upcoming 21st season of his personal career, the last season of his career, he decided to play for the Clippers, mainly among the teams he has played for in the past. The Los Angeles Clippers have the best chance of winning the championship and maximizing the team's business interests with their own. In 2011, the league refused Chris Paul to join the Lakers and join Kobe, and he was finally forced to join the Clippers. After six seasons with the Clippers, he helped the Clippers become one of the most popular teams in the NBA at the time. At that time, the Clippers were given the title of "City of Air Connection". Griffin and Jordan Jr. are the strongest dunkers around Chris Paul.

Chris Paul has been in the NBA for a lifetime, and has been selected as the All-Star for more than a dozen times in his career, has been selected as the All-Squad and defensive lineup many times, has been elected as the Stealer King six times, and has been elected as the Assistant King five times. Unfortunately, I have never won the championship. When he played for the Phoenix Suns in 2021, it was his first time in his career to enter the NBA Finals. Unfortunately, he led the Bucks 2-0, but was defeated by the opponent in four consecutive games and missed the championship.

In fact, the outside world is curious about what help the Clippers can bring to the team if they win 40-year-old Chris Paul. To this end, let's take a look at the three important factors why 40-year-old Chris Paul can help the Clippers win the championship.

1. Chris Paul brings experience in the finals

Leonard of the Clippers has many experience in winning championships and has rich playoff experience. However, since winning the championship in 2019, he has never reached the finals again. Brooke Lopez is the championship player of the Milwaukee Bucks. In 2021, he and Antetokounmpo and others joined forces to defeat Chris Paul. Chris Paul entered the finals in 2021. As a veteran, Chris Paul can be said to be very clear about what it takes to enter the finals and win the championship.

2. Chris Paul may activate James Harden to return to the peak

James Harden and Chris Paul have worked with the Rockets, and the two almost led the team to defeat the Golden State Warriors and entered the finals. If it weren't for the referee's call at that time that there was a problem, the league would have strongly supported the Golden State Warriors and targeted the Rockets, maybe the Rockets would have won the championship at that time.

James Harden was once the regular season MVP, and most regular season MVPs in NBA history have been able to win the championship. James Harden may return to the top with the assistance of Chris Paul, performing at the MVP level, and leading the team to dominate the league. However, the biggest problem is that James Harden has begun to enter the end of his peak, and Chris Paul is completely at the end of his peak and is preparing to retire.

3. The depth is strong

and the Clippers' back strength has been improved by a higher level. Adding role players Bogdan Bogdanovic, Derek Jones Jr., Nicholas Batum and Lopez, Chris Dunn, the Clippers' substitute lineup, can almost create a normal starting lineup. You should know that the teams that have won the championship in the past few seasons have a set of substitutes with starting strength, so no matter which lineup they have, they can maintain a certain advantage in the competition.
