The shooting ability is quite amazing! The Clippers finally found a qualified backup center?

In a previous NBA preseason game, the Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Sacramento Kings at home 109-91. After this game, the Clippers' record in the preseason improved to 2 wins and 1 loss; while the Kings suffered a three-game losing streak in the preseason and currently have a record of 0 wins and 3 losses.

In this game, the performance of the Clippers' new substitute inside player Brook Lopez (Brook Lopez) was impressive. Lopez played for 17 minutes and 46 seconds, shooting 6 of 8 and 4 of 5 from beyond the three-point line. He scored 16 points, 4 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block, with a plus-minus value of +26. Lopez has shown quite good mid-to-long-range shooting ability on the offensive end. His shooting opportunities are basically from the outside, but he also has a good enough shooting ability, and he has also scored a lot of points through his own shooting. Not only that, Lopez also has certain frame protection and interior defensive abilities. Lopez did not play much time, but his performance in mid-to-long-range shooting really impressed everyone. He was also able to help the team open up space when he was on the court. The team's situation was also very good when he was on the court. The +26 uniform team can also show how good his performance is, which is also a key factor for the team to win.

In the NBA regular season last season, Lopez played a total of 80 times on behalf of the Milwaukee Bucks in 82 games, averaging 31.8 minutes per game. According to statistics, he had 13 points, 5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.6 steals, 1.9 blocks, 1.1 turnovers and 2.1 fouls. He shot 50.9% from the field, 37.3% from the three-point range, and 82.6% from the free throw line. In the playoffs, Lopez played a total of 5 times, averaging 14.8 minutes per game. He averaged 5 points, 1.6 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.2 steals and 1 block per game. He also had 0.8 turnovers and 2.2 fouls. He shot 36.4% from the field, 26.7% from the three-point range, and 100% from the free throw line. Since the preseason, Lopez has averaged 17 minutes per game in the first three games, averaging 13.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.3 steals, and 1.7 blocks per game. He also has 0.7 turnovers and 2 fouls. His shooting percentage is 64%, three-point shooting percentage is 53.3%, and free throw percentage is 0%.

Lopez's performance in these preseason games can be considered to be getting better. His offensive efficiency is very good, his performance in outside shooting has always been very stable, and he can also protect the frame on the defensive end. Lopez received a two-year contract worth $18 million from the Clippers this summer. The Clippers also paid a high price to acquire the 37-year-old veteran. Last season, the Clippers lacked a reliable backup center in the second team. Now with the addition of Lopez, maybe their shortcomings have also been strengthened?
