The miracle that Min Congda dreamed of did not happen.
Curry led the second lineup in the third quarter to help the Clippers build an 8-point lead.
By the fourth quarter, the Clippers, which mainly attacked inside, firmly grasped the advantage and defended it firmly.
After all, Dunleavy is an old coach. Although he lacks creativity, he is more than capable of maintaining success and can grasp when the team has an advantage.
The Thunder's crazy counterattack was resisted. Baron Davis seemed to be back in 2007 tonight. It seemed that Curry's outstanding performance inspired his desire to compete.
The younger guys who came off the bench played so well, but your big brother is so confused?
At the critical moment, Baron Davis hit two strong three-pointers from the outside, completely extinguishing the Thunder's hope of reversal.
In the end, the Clippers defeated the Thunder 109:100 on the road, with a 9-point advantage.
It avenged the previous game by Durant and ended the team's three-game losing streak.
Durant scored 33 points in this game. The eldest brother tried his best, but the third brother couldn't help holding him back.
Harden made 0 of 9 shots tonight, scored 0 points, and only contributed 3 assists.
Curry came off the bench and scored 20 points, Baron Davis scored 25 points, Randolph scored 17 points, and Kaman scored 18 points.
The four players teamed up to score 80 points and put the victory in their pocket.
"I won, I won again, I won! Yes, it's good to win. Everyone is happy, but I am not happy. This is called sacrificing oneself to achieve everyone's success. Besides, I'm not alone either. There are more than 18,000 fans in the audience standing with me, we are one, we are sad together!"
Seeing the Clippers win again, Min Congda was in a trance, sitting in his seat silently eating popcorn.
Curry was elected as the best player tonight. After the interview, he sat next to Min Congda, put his hand on Min Congda's shoulder, and took out popcorn from the box with the other hand.
As a result, the box was already empty. Min Congda was still making gestures with his hands, and there was no popcorn at all.
"Hey, Smart, what's wrong with you? Why do you always look unhappy when we win?"
Curry was surprised that Min Congda didn't feel that ecstatic after winning these few times.
Min Congda came back to his senses, smiled and said: "No, I am very happy, I am excited for the team's victory. But I must take a longer-term view. The Chinese have always been careful about being prepared for danger in times of peace, be vigilant in peace time! In good times, be vigilant in peace time." Think about the bad, and when you are in a bad situation, think about the good again, so that you can have a balance, do you understand?"
Curry shook his head, expressing his confusion, and said: "You have to be happy when you win, work hard when you lose, and there is the next game. This is what I understand. But Mr. Smart, you are very smart and have great ideas." It must be much more profound than me.”
Min Congda touched Curry's head and thought, you idiot, if you could score fewer points, I would be much happier.
Coming out of the despair of victory, Min Congda and Curry went to buy a piece of popcorn and ate all the way back to the hotel.
Min Congda's ability to adjust his emotions is getting better and better now. As the saying goes, don't be arrogant when you lose but don't be discouraged when you win. It's normal to win or lose.
"From a long-term perspective, the Clippers are still on the road to decline. Now they have a record of 6 wins and 5 losses. They have dropped from the previous second position to seventh place, and then dropped two places further. We’re out of the playoff circle! Isn’t this a matter of minutes?”
"Extending Randolph's contract in advance is actually a chronic poison. As time goes by, the toxicity will slowly develop. A cancerous player who is nearly 30 years old has received a big contract from the team and has occupied an important position for a long time. What do the other players think? What do the chickens, ducks and geese in the village think?"
"Randolph can only hold on and pretend for now. He even gave up drinking. People around me said they should quit drinking, smoking, and sex, but none of them succeeded! Let's see how long he can act. I guess In two weeks his true colors will be revealed."
After some analysis, Min Congda believed that the situation was still good and everything was under control.
Two days later, on November 17, Min Congda arrived in New Orleans with the Clippers. They will challenge the Hornets tonight.
This schedule is also interesting. The opponent you just finished playing will immediately let you go to an away game to challenge.
It just so happens that those who have grievances seek revenge and those who have grievances complain about them, the two sides can also discuss tactics and draw lessons from each other.
The Hornets restrained the Clippers in terms of lineup and play style. The Clippers had no temper in the previous win.
The Clippers have two strengths: point guard and power forward, and the weakness of the small forward is being targeted.
Dunleavy and the Clippers coaching staff are not vegetarians. In response to the previous loss, the team made full adjustments for this game.
The focus of the adjustment is on the third position, Thornton.
It's not that Thornton is replaced, the Clippers currently don't have a better third-position player than Thornton.
The change Dunleavy made was to increase Thornton's offensive proportion and replace defense with offense.
Although the Hornets' starting small forward Stojakovic has strong firepower, his defense is also not very good.
Using offense to consume the armor and taking advantage of Thornton's physical fitness will be a good way to deal with it.
This strategy has indeed achieved very good results. The Clippers increased Thornton's offensive role as soon as the game started, catching the Hornets off guard.
In the first half, the Clippers suppressed the Hornets and started to attack their opponents.
And Dunleavy also had a back-up, using Novak as his substitute in the third position.
This white three-point shooter who became famous with the Rockets has a strong three-point shooting ability.
The Clippers' strategy is clear. I know I can't guard you, so I won't let you guard me.
We blasted each other to raise the score, and finally competed for the player's status and key goals.
Dunleavy's strategy worked. The Clippers reversed the decline in the previous game and gained the upper hand on the road.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Clippers once opened the point difference to 10 points, and they were in good condition.
Just when Min Congda was a little desperate, thinking that the 2,000 yuan tonight would be wasted again.
The queen bee of New Orleans, Chris Paul finally stood up in the fourth quarter!
Superheroes always appear at critical moments!
Paul first hit a strong three-pointer from the outside to close the score.
Then he succeeded in stealing Curry on defense, and caused Gordon to foul during the counterattack.
This goal forced Dunleavy to abandon the back three and replace it with Thornton, who played well.
In the first three quarters, Thornton relied on eating pie and his excellent shooting feeling to score a season-high 24 points.
But his defensive weaknesses haven't changed.
Paul made two free throws, and then James Posey successfully stopped Thornton on defense.
Paul made a leisurely counterattack and calmly passed the ball to Stojakovic in the bottom corner.
Three-point shot hit! Only 2 points away from catching up!
Then, the referee also sided with the Hornets and called Randolph an offensive foul.
Following Paul's high pick-and-roll, he hit a mid-range jumper and the score was tied!
In a few minutes, a 10:0 climax completely eliminated the Clippers' advantage.
Min Congda clenched his fist lightly and praised in his heart, "Grandpa St. Paul fought well! Cricket Davis, Cricket Curry, why are you your opponent!"
