"It's obscene, this store is absolutely obscene!"
"This is too salty and too spicy! This is not an Italian pizza, this is an Indian pizza!"
After Min Congda finished the "test meal" sent by Ada's father, he drank water all the way back to the auditorium.
The game will start in more than half an hour. Although Min Congda didn't have a good dinner, he got the result he wanted.
With the taste of this restaurant, it would be a crime to allow him to continue to exist at Staples Center.
One day, if the fans are hungry, they will have to pay up to 18,000 yuan?
"Very good. If something goes wrong one day due to bad food, we, the Clippers, will pay full compensation!"
"I heard that in the United States, if you suffer a stomachache or scratch your skin, you can easily pay millions or tens of millions in compensation. This is a good thing, and it fully reflects the decision-making for the people. This capitalism has merits."
At this time, players from both sides had come to the scene to warm up.
LeBron James and Curry chatted happily during warm-ups.
The two knew each other before Curry entered the NBA, and James even went to watch Curry's college games.
They were born in the same hospital in Akron, Ohio, but had very different fates.
James did not know who his father was and grew up with his mother in the poor neighborhoods of Akron.
I don’t know how many places I have changed my residence and how many times I have moved.
Although Curry was born in Akron, Dell Curry played for the Hornets, so Curry grew up in Charlotte.
He lived in a large mansion in Charlotte, received a good education, and received basketball training at a young age.
Two people whose fates were originally very different came together because of basketball.
"Hey, Stephen, you've been playing well recently. I watched the game against the Lakers and the three-pointer from the corner was great."
"It's a pity that I missed the last dribble! Haha!"
Curry thought to himself, if you really want to praise me, you don’t have to say the last sentence.
"Hey brother, how does it feel to play and live in Los Angeles?" James asked again.
"It's very good. The climate here is great and the city is great. What, do you want to consider coming to Los Angeles in the summer of 2010?"
Curry knew that James' contract expired in the summer of 2010, but he just made a joke.
There are only a handful of superstars in their prime like James who leave their home team to find another player.
It cannot be said that there is no such thing as Chamberlain, who went to the 76ers at the age of 29, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who went to the Lakers at the age of 26.
At that time, their choice also suffered a lot of criticism, but it was so long ago that Chamberlain had passed away, and because they had become famous, no one said anything.
Furthermore, the public opinion environment of the NBA in the 1960s and 1970s was very different from now. The NBA was still very weak and the basketball culture was not fully established.
It's different now. The NBA has great influence. After being shaped by Michael Jordan's generation, the NBA has a set of aesthetic standards.
A superhero like Jordan should have one person, one city, and win the highest glory for the city team.
James wears No. 23 with the goal of surpassing Jordan. This is his seventh year in the league.
Jordan won the NBA championship in his seventh year, so after James failed last year, he has high hopes this year.
However, he did not renew his contract with the Cavaliers in advance, but gave himself the option of leaving Cleveland in the summer of 2010.
After hearing Curry's suggestion, James just smiled and said: "What I want is a championship, not a warm climate."
Curry said: "We will definitely win the championship if we come here. What our team lacks is the No. 3 position! And you know, our general manager Mr. Smart is a very amazing and visionary person. With his leadership , the Clippers' lineup will get stronger and stronger, but it is much better than our Cavaliers management."
With that said, Curry and James looked at Min Congda sitting on the sidelines.
This guy was drinking water, and his mouth was still spicy.
"I will try my best to stay in Cleveland. Don't think too much about it. It's not good to think about bringing in strong reinforcements at a young age. You still have to rely on yourself."
James criticized Curry, but Curry shrugged and said, "Then I hope we will see you in the finals one day."
James smiled and thought, although the Cavaliers are indeed a bad team for thousands of years, their operations in recent years have been disappointing.
But if the entire league can be compared with the Cavaliers in terms of poor history, the Clippers are definitely doing their part.
These are two teams that have suffered curses. Now that the Cavaliers are seeing light under the leadership of James, what about the Clippers?
But after the game officially started in the evening, James knew where the Clippers' hope lay.
In this game, Baron Davis was absent due to a knee injury. Since it was a back-to-back game, the coaching staff let him rest out of the principle of protection.
Baron Davis hasn't been in good shape these past few games.
In the three-game losing streak, Davis played mediocrely due to injuries.
In particular, his three-point shooting was extremely bad.
The shooting percentages in the three games were 1 for 5, 0 for 3, and 0 for 4.
In other words, a total of 1 three-point goal was scored in the three games.
Such a three-point shooting rate has a great impact on the team's offense, and the team's internal offensive pressure has increased dramatically.
Even though Baron Davis knew that his knee was in bad condition, he went on a night trip to Santa Barbara with Min Congda.
Among the four kings of wine, sex and wealth, Randolph stopped drinking, and Tenderloin Davis was calm and focused on playing basketball.
Only Baron Davis continued to fool around with the general manager, and as a result, his condition further declined.
Later, the team doctor believed that Davis' knee was in poor condition. Since it was a back-to-back game, the coaching staff simply let him rest.
Stephen Curry serves as the Clippers' starting point guard.
Gordon also returned to the starting lineup and played shooting guard.
In terms of interior arrangements, Dunleavy insisted on letting Camby start for a while.
Now that he can no longer hold on anymore, Gasol is gradually integrating into the team.
The cooperation between him and Zach Randolph is becoming more and more tacit. Camby realizes that his condition is not as good as that of young people, and he does not occupy the manhole and takes the initiative to give up his talents and give Gasol a chance to start.
After experiencing the Kaman trade, the Clippers are gradually coming out of the discomfort after the transaction.
Change tactics and routines during training, watch videos, rediscover your feelings during games, and develop a tacit understanding.
After a series of losses, the young Clippers continued to set sail and challenged powerful opponents.
It's not easy for them either. They have to fight against a manager who wants to make trouble all day long.
The game started on time, the Clippers wore white jerseys, and the Cavaliers wore retro blue jerseys tonight.
The Cavaliers' starters are James, Mo Williams, JJ Hickson, Shaquille O'Neal and Anthony Parker.
What can I say about the Cavaliers' lineup... I can only say that the Cavaliers management tried their best, but they really couldn't find any truly strong players.
O'Neal is famous and once powerful, but at this age he has declined drastically.
The other ones all have a so-so feel. They are usable in the regular season, but it's really hard to say in the playoffs.
Facing the Clippers, the Cavaliers' lineup is not dominant. To put it bluntly, it is still a problem with the point guard and power forward.
Mo Williams has an excellent shot, and with the addition of James, he made the All-Star last season.
However, apart from shooting and scoring, Williams' contribution in other aspects is too small, and he can only be said to be a threat to the Clippers.
But it's really impossible to restrain the Clippers like Chris Paul.
Not to mention the power forward position, Randolph, a jumping man like JJ Hickson, is the least afraid.
The Cavaliers' only reliance is LeBron James, who can penetrate the Clippers' already weak third position.
This is the Cavaliers' biggest advantage.
The Cavaliers tried to open up the situation from the inside at the beginning, allowing O'Neal to launch continuous attacks in the low post.
Mike Brown thought very simply, take advantage of O'Neal's good physical condition at the beginning, and hit two games as soon as possible.
But a heavy center like Gasol is really not afraid of the elderly O'Neal, he can handle it.
O'Neal missed his first two post-up shots. The Clippers steadily secured backcourt rebounds and quickly counterattacked.
Curry took control, and the Clippers' rhythm was driven up. Thornton caught the ball and rushed to the basket, but got a block from James.
The second time, Curry chose to slide the baseline with the ball, used the screen to find a shooting opportunity, and quickly hit the ball from mid-range!
Scored the first point in the opening game.
James immediately tried a mid-range pull-up jumper and made it.
James started the game feeling pretty good.
The Cavaliers can't score in the low post, but the Clippers can, and Fat Blue is at his peak.
Hixon's one-on-one defense in front of Randolph was in vain, and Randolph hit consecutively in the low post.
After receiving the ball in the low post on the left, Sigma turned to face the frame and hit the hook from the inside.
Turned around in the low post on the right and walked to the middle, hitting the hook.
Sliding down the baseline to receive a pass from Curry, he succeeded in a reverse layup!
Coupled with Gasol's high jumper, the Clippers beat the Cavaliers 10:2 at the beginning.
Min Congda scratched his head and thought, "Gasol and Randolph's high and low positions, this cooperation is good. O'Neal originally guarded the three-second zone, but now Gasol is holding him back, Hickson can't guard him at all. Live with Randolph. What if O'Neal is asked to guard Randolph? No way, Garfield can go to the low post and use his weight to crush Hickson, and Randolph can also punish O'Neal with a mid-range jumper. Trouble, this ball... the Cavaliers Position three has to step up."
Min Congda has calmed down a lot now that the Clippers are leading.
Two months ago, he would have started scolding, O'Neal, will you attack, Hickson, will you defend?
His mentality is more stable and the game has just begun.
The next time he thought about this, James' defensive position changed.
He penetrated into the rib area, gave up covering the bottom corner, and directly intercepted an inward pass from Curry!
After stealing the ball, James launched a counterattack directly from the backcourt!
Accelerate, sprint, cross the midfield, and easily pass Curry.
Curry didn't even have a chance to foul, and James passed by like a tank.
Then he rushed to the frontcourt, there was no one under the basket, and he dunked with one hand!
Fans at the scene, even Clippers fans, marveled at James's brave impact.
Fans near the basket can feel this unparalleled momentum up close.
At 4:10, the lagging Cavaliers started from defense and began to counterattack.
