After losing to the Jazz, the Clippers' record reached 25 wins and 24 losses.
Although the winning rate is still over 50%, it is only ranked 11th in the Western Conference, and is getting further and further away from the playoffs.
And this result can even rank sixth in the Eastern Conference. Min Congda is glad that the Clippers are in the powerful Western Conference and not in the hip Eastern Conference.
This situation of stretching the hips in the east has been alleviated in recent years.
Earlier, in the first few years of the 21st century, the Eastern Conference ranked first in the conference but could not even make it into the top four in the Western Conference.
In other words, if you go from No. 1 in the Eastern Conference to the Western Conference in the playoffs, you won't have a home court advantage.
At that time, when teams from the Western Conference went to the Eastern Conference to play away games, they were not called games, but called traveling.
The competition within the Western Conference teams has become increasingly fierce, especially in recent years as the Lakers robbed Gasol, which has brought the Western Conference arms race to a peak.
In the 2007-2008 season, the eighth-place Nuggets in the Western Conference had a record of 50 wins and 32 losses!
What is this concept? In the 2002-2003 season, the Pistons were ranked first in the Eastern Conference.
A record of 50 wins, placed in the Eastern Conference in the 2007-2008 season, would rank fourth in the Eastern Conference and enter the top half.
Last season, the Western Conference reached the playoffs with 49 wins, ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference.
Needless to say, this season, it will take about 50 wins to get a ticket to the playoffs.
Based on this, combined with the Clippers' current record of 25 wins and 24 losses, plus the difficulty of the upcoming schedule.
It will be very difficult for the Clippers to break into the playoffs.
On February 10, one day after the game against the Jazz, the Clippers played back-to-back games and went to Oakland to face the Golden State Warriors away from home.
Min Congda, who had been hurt recently by his investment in the team, decided to go with the team to Auckland, hoping that following the team could heal his wounded heart.
The ups and downs of the mall made Min Congda feel unbearable, so he felt more comfortable getting along with relatively simple athletes.
At 7 p.m., Oracle Arena, a battle with the Warriors.
Curry vs. Rubio is the focus of this game.
The Warriors selected golden boy Rubio with the seventh pick in the draft.
Negotiations were quickly held with Rubio's old club to resolve his contract issue.
The Spanish golden boy was able to land in the NBA early and fight under Nelson, the mad scientist.
Nelson is good at using defenders and has developed a series of tactical systems that focus on offense and light defense.
In a league where defense wins championships, his forward-thinking ideas make his team unique in the league.
It's a pity that they can't win. The Warriors' record this season is only a pitiful 15 wins and 45 losses.
Ranked at the bottom of the Western Conference, there is absolutely no hope for the playoffs.
However, Rubio thrives in the Warriors, and his style of play fits well with Monta Ellis.
Rubio is good at organization and rapid advancement, shooting is his weakness, and his personal offensive ability is average.
Although his appearance and temperament are very similar to the league's super scorer, Pete Maravich, nicknamed the Pistol.
However, there is really no similarity between the two in their playing styles. Old Nelson also muttered in his heart, it would be great if this guy could have shooting ability like Maravich.
Of course, Rubio's talent on the offensive end is obvious. His passing and vision are first-rate and full of spirituality.
Coupled with his handsome and cute appearance, and the youthfulness and sunshine of a Spanish boy, he quickly won the love of fans in the Bay Area, making Warriors fans forget the regret of missing Curry.
Before the game started, some fans at the scene held a slogan, "We have Richie, we no longer need the girl Steph."
The name Stephen is suitable for both men and women, but in most cases, girls are slightly more likely to use it.
Boys with similar names usually use Steve, such as Steve Kerr and Steve Nash.
Curry used Steph, who was originally small, baby-faced, and lacked some masculinity in appearance.
Some fans will use his name to joke, saying that he is just a girl, just like Zhuge Liang gave Sima Yi women's clothes.
From ancient times to the present, from inside to outside, calling a man a pussy has always been a good way to stimulate people.
Curry just smiled when he looked at these slogans. He didn't want to argue with the fans. Similar slogans will appear in every away game.
If they were angry with the fans, NBA players would be angry to death.
Curry chose to fight back with his performance on the court.
Curry continued to start this game, facing off against Ricky Rubio.
The Warriors' starting lineup is Rubio, Monta Ellis, Anthony Tolliver, Anthony Morrow, plus Biedrins.
This starting lineup is a typical big one and four small ones. Nelson would be desperate if he used this lineup to fight the Clippers, who have two big men inside.
Anyway, the team's record this year is like this. It doesn't matter if we win or not, just have fun.
Sure enough, as soon as the game started, the Clippers took advantage of the inside to score consecutively.
Defending Randolph is Tolliver, who is 2.03 meters tall. He is called a power forward, but he is actually built like a small forward.
The undrafted player in 2007 bounced around many teams such as the Cavaliers, Spurs, and Hornets, but was never reused.
A player like him who is neither three nor four is particularly awkward in this era.
They often shine in the NCAA league, but once they enter the high-level league, they will find that they are too slow at three and too short at four.
The NBA has entered the era of super power forwards in the interior since the 21st century. Duncan, Garnett, Webber, Nowitzki and others are all center-level in height and strength, playing at the fourth position, and even have the speed of the three position.
Those of you who are not trivial will be eaten alive when faced with such top power forwards, and your talents will not be displayed at all.
Beasley is as talented as the No. 2 pick in 2008, but his performance has been tepid. He averaged 13 points per game in his rookie season and now 14 points. He does not have the talent-crushing performance he had in college.
If Beasley is like this, it will be even more difficult for someone like Anthony Tolliver to survive in the NBA.
He was already on the verge of elimination, but was spotted by Nelson, and the Warriors signed him on a short contract.
In a weird team like the Warriors, he took the starting power forward position and became the team's main force.
Under Nelson's fast, non-defensive offensive system, his data soared. From averaging two or three points and two or three rebounds per game, he suddenly jumped to averaging 12 points and 7 rebounds per game.
Proper high-quality rotation data, of course there must be moisture in it.
But if he can produce such data, it is enough to survive in the league. There is no need to worry about the next contract.
Facing a low-post beast like Randolph, Tolliver was like paper on the defensive end.
At the beginning of the first quarter, Randolph continued to attack in the low post. The Warriors did not double-team, allowing Randolph to attack Tolliver alone.
Hitting four goals in a row on his head fully demonstrated Randolph's rich positional offensive skills and soft touch.
Watching Tolliver being beaten to a pulp by Randolph, he looked helpless.
Min Congda, who was watching the game from the sidelines, confirmed his original 2K10 selection strategy.
"In the future, when selecting players, you must choose this kind of small forward who is over 2 meters tall and neither three nor four. If you put together a bunch of players, you can expect a bad team."
