October 31st, incredible! The Jazz defeated the Clippers 43-19 in one quarter. The Super Six looked at each other in confusion. Times have really changed in the NBA. This is no longer a league for the old people.

Since the beginning of the new season, the Clippers have been the team with the oldest average age in the league, with 8 players over 30 years old. However, their lineup is very luxurious after all, with the Super 6 giants. Everyone thought that the Clippers definitely still had a chance to compete for the championship, but they never expected that, let alone winning the championship, the Clippers team was defeated in the first game. Facing the Jazz, a team recognized as a bad team in the new season, the Clippers lost by 24 points in one quarter.

To describe the Clippers' performance in the first quarter, four words are "panic", and another four words are "rolling and crawling". The entire Clippers team scored 19 points, 3 of 11 three-pointers, 9 turnovers and 7 fouls in a single quarter. How did the so-called six superstars perform? Harden's 7 points are a little bit more noticeable, and Beal's 3 points. The super new player they missed is really not good. And next to them, Leonard scored 2 points, and the three starting superstars scored a total of 12 points. But don't think they are short, because it is already good. The Clippers' luxurious bench lineup scored a total of 3 points.

The Big Three in the starting lineup collapsed, where are the substitutes? Paul had 0 points, Collins had 0 points, and Lopez had 0 points, not counting Zubac. The Clippers, a team with six giants, actually scored 19 points in the first quarter. The six giants scored 12 points together, with an average of 2 points each. How could they win this game? Zubac is considered a relatively stable offensive point. Four points in a single quarter is not bad, but you can't imagine that this is the Clippers!

The Jazz's offense is simply historic. Look at their field goal percentage of 16 of 20 and 12 of 12 two-pointers in a single quarter! A team shoots 80% in one quarter, how do you compete with them? Everyone on the Jazz team was very accurate. They missed a total of 4 three-pointers and made all two points. They had to eat and drink and kill everyone. The Clippers made 9 turnovers, and the Jazz completed 7 steals in one quarter. The Clippers lost the ball as soon as it was stolen. The Clippers really have no defense now, no offense, no starting lineup, no substitutes, nothing they want.

The Jazz can score 16 goals in 20 shots in a single quarter. This shooting rate looks scary. Looking at the Clippers in the first quarter, are they an NBA championship team? The five-substitute lineup that Paul led was performing well in the preseason, but was blown away in the first game of the regular season. This is really crazy. In the new season, the Clippers have five career averages close to 20 points or more than 20 points per game, but they failed to score points. Tyronn Lue's five ups and five downs resulted in a complete collapse of the starting bench and the Jazz outplayed 43:19 in one quarter. Is this still going to set sail?
