Ricky Davis was the boss of the Cavaliers for one season and ambitiously believed that Cleveland would be the starting point for his journey to stardom.
Little did they know that the late Emperor was traded before he started his business, and Ricky Davis, who had been the boss for a season and a half, began a torturous NBA career.
Fortunately, at the age of 31, Ricky Davis decided to start a new basketball career with the Clippers. His goal was not to become a superstar, but to survive here.
In addition to training on weekdays, Davis no longer hangs out in nightclubs, and no longer competes with others. He goes to the wild court to fight with others - which carries the risk of injury.
After completing his community service tasks, he chose to stay in the community and contribute to those in need.
As long as he is not playing away games, Ricky Davis will go to the community every week to deliver food to people in need, take an hour to play ball and play with children, and let the fun of basketball affect more people.
Of course, all of this was recorded by the "Basketball and Gay" crew and will become an important part of future documentaries.
It's a corny but powerful story of self-redemption, when Ricky Davis stood on the court at a critical moment in the fourth quarter.
It's the trust that head coach Mike Dunleavy has in him, and it's also the trust that general manager Mr. Smart has in him.
Min Congda frowned when he saw Lao Deng replaced Ricky. He felt something bad in his heart. His keen sense of smell once again sensed danger for the knight!
"Replacing Thornton with Rickey is a good move! Thornton can't guard James, and he doesn't have outside shooting ability. He can't open up the Clippers' space on the court. The Cavaliers are small on the outside and can't defend. The height is not enough, Ricky is more than enough to play small forward...Deng is trying to exploit the Cavaliers' weaknesses!"
As a small forward, Thornton's style of play is too inside. His three-point shooting rate is only 35%, and he averages only 0.7 shots and 0.3 hits per game.
Two shots and one goal in three games are too poor both in terms of quantity and quality.
Ricky Davis' improved three-point attempts and shooting percentage are not comparable to Thornton.
After a period of investigation, Dunleavy believed that Ricky Davis could serve as the main force at critical moments.
Tonight he made 2 of 2 three-pointers and has scored 10 points.
As soon as Davis came on the court, he immediately performed. He received a pass from Curry and drove to the basket from the left.
He fought with Varejao in the air, "knocked" Varejao away, and succeeded in a layup.
The Brazilian gigolo showed his hands to the referee, thinking that Davis had fouled the ball, but the referee ignored him.
This kid usually bumps into people too much, and the referee doesn't even bother to pay attention to him unless it's an obvious collision.
Min Congda also felt that the ball was a foul, but the situation was in favor of the Clippers and he couldn't scold him. It was really uncomfortable.
96:99, the Clippers lead by 3 points.
At this time, James seemed to be timid and did not take the ball to attack.
The choice was given to Mo Williams, who held the ball against Curry under pressure.
After continuously dribbling away, he used his body to push Curry away, and hit a mid-range jump shot from the corner to score two points.
98:99, still a two-point gap.
The competition has entered the final fierce competition stage.
The defensive actions on both sides are getting bigger and bigger, and the referee is even more careful about his whistle.
Curry rushed to the inside with the ball, but was lightly hit by Varejao and flew out of the baseline.
As a result, the ball was not called a foul, but was called out of bounds, and the ball was still in the hands of the Clippers.
Of course, Min Congda couldn't sit still. How could he not take this opportunity to scold the referee?
"This ball is not a foul? Foster, are you blind? If you are blind, I still have one on my butt and I can lend it to you! People will be hit to death!"
The referee tonight is Scott Foster, who is considered a relatively experienced referee.
Facing Min Congda's scolding, Foster ignored it. The referees recently held a meeting and discussed that Clippers Smart was the key target to avoid.
Once this guy starts scolding, he won't say anything unpleasant, and he's not afraid of fines or expulsions. The more you punish him, the happier he will be.
If you fine him, he will write a letter to complain to the league after the game, accusing the referee of the game of having problems.
The key is that this guy has very poisonous eyes and the questions he talks about are very accurate, so the referee will be reprimanded by the referee committee.
Referees are also human beings and have a job. No one wants to be scolded by their boss at work because it will affect their performance appraisal and daily work status.
It doesn't matter if you get scolded by a customer. After the competition, everyone will keep the same. So what if your dignity is a little insulted?
Therefore, the referees have not paid much attention to Min Congda recently. Just scold him if he likes, and let him enjoy the scolding.
For example, the referees held a meeting before the start of this game to set the tone. Vice President Joe Bozia gave two major principles: 1. Leave it to the players at the last moment. This is a key battle and is broadcast live across the United States. The league does not want to see the referee decide the outcome of the game. 2. Ignore Smart, the general manager of the Clippers. The referee committee does not want to receive his post-game complaint email. It is so annoying, even more annoying than Cuban.
Seeing that Foster ignored him, Min Congda had no choice but to sit back on the bench angrily. For my sake, aren't you referees all arrogant?
There is zero tolerance at all times, giving a technical foul to this, giving a technical foul to that, expelling this, warning that.
What's the matter with you guys?
Curry served a throw-in, Gasol took the ball and looked behind him.
Suddenly a beautiful back pass was passed to Curry who was cutting to the basket. Curry made a reverse layup!
"Holy shit! I told you to call a foul on this ball, and you won't be able to pass the baseline kick even if you call the foul. He can't make an air cut even if he doesn't serve the baseline kick!"
Min Congda was so angry that he took two bites of popcorn. This Stamps popcorn was really unpalatable.
98:101, the Clippers lead by 3 points, Curry's score has reached 27 points.
He made consecutive three-pointers, mid-range shots, and layups in the fourth quarter.
He seemed to be stumbling, he seemed to be weak, and he was knocked out of the bottom line and unable to resist.
But when he has a basketball in his hands, he responds in a basketball way.
The Cavaliers called a timeout again, and Mike Brown needed to arrange tactics with a 3-point difference.
There are only 50 seconds left before the end of the game.
At this time, James had scored 31 points, the highest in the game.
At the critical moment, the ball will definitely be in his hands, but he doesn't know how it will end.
Min Congda looked up at the big screen, which replayed the Cavaliers' defensive mistake just now, giving Curry an opportunity.
"The reason why this happened is because Ricky Davis opened up space in the bottom corner, so that the Cavaliers did not dare to shrink, and the gap was leaked. Lao Deng made a good substitution. RTNN's system, Can I cut Ricky Davis?"
Min Congda was a little angry and thought about laying off Davis.
System: [Impossible, it is inconsistent with common sense, and it violates trust. 】
"What? You still say that I have violated my trust? Your system has issued this kind of bankruptcy task, so what kind of trust do you still have?"
System: [Speaking. 】
