Curry's three-pointer completely changed the situation of the game.
When he made a free throw, the score became 82:80, and the Clippers took a 2-point lead.
The difference of just two points quickly tilted the balance of victory towards the Clippers.
Because the Lakers don't have a strong will to resist, Phil Jackson's requirement for the players is to play relaxedly.
Win if you can and prepare for the Thunder.
It doesn't matter if we lose, we will still play the Clippers in the end.
On the contrary, the Clippers gritted their teeth and wanted to win and win this game to enter the playoffs.
For their beloved general manager, Smart Min.
Therefore, once the score leads, the team's morale immediately rises with the wind.
Gasol blocked Shannon Brown's layup under the basket and passed long into the frontcourt.
Curry passed the basket to Ricky Davis, and Davis jumped up and dunked with both hands.
Eric Gordon stole Fisher from the high post and passed the ball to Curry in the corner on a fast break.
Curry caught the ball and took a quick three-pointer, hitting it again!
It took the Clippers 2 minutes to go from 1 point behind to 7 points ahead.
Clippers fans at Staples Center cheered, making Min Congda upset.
But he still controlled his emotions and never got angry at the referee.
Pretentious Jackson finally called a timeout, maybe because he couldn't stand the Clippers' aggressive offensive.
You have to do something to tell the fans and opponents that the Lakers still have a coach, otherwise they will think that they are gone.
The three referees took advantage of a break in the game to mutter, "The Clippers are going to win today. I don't think Smart can curse anymore."
"I don't think that when the Clippers were leading by a big score, he would still curse, and he would curse even more fiercely."
"Look at this guy's expression. It's better to be careful and wish for good luck."
The three of them looked at Min Congda, who was sitting behind the bench, with a face as deep as water.
He is now a red alert level 1 figure in the referee circle, surpassing the previous number one Cuban in just one season.
Although the total amount of fines is not the largest, the victory lies in the large number of times, unrivaled bravery and unrepentance.
Moreover, Min Congda's attacks did not follow any pattern. He would scold him whenever he wanted, and he would scold you if you called the Clippers a foul.
If you call your opponent a foul, this guy will still scold you, which is incredible.
Not only did he scold him, but he also had to report to the referee center at the end of the game.
Isn't this life-threatening?
Therefore, the three referees did not dare to be careless and continued to whistle for the following games in fear.
At the end of the third quarter, the Clippers led the Lakers by 7 points, 91:84.
The 7-point lead is not very big, but the Lakers have no intention of making a comeback.
As long as the Clippers can stabilize their offense, don't go crazy in the fourth quarter and beat themselves.
Then they can win the game and enter the playoffs smoothly!
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Dunleavy no longer followed the principle of "everyone has the ball to play".
Instead, he continued to put the main force on the court. He did not allow the team to make any mistakes in this game.
Curry started the fourth quarter with his fifth three-pointer of the game.
Continuously dribbled away from the outside, and then hit Derek Fisher's defensive three-pointer.
The score difference between the two sides has reached 10 points, and the Lakers already feel like they don't want to fight.
Phil Jackson has been slow to replace core Pau Gasol.
If the situation goes from bad to worse, just enter garbage time and not let Gasol play.
Min Congda sighed, thinking that Phil Jackson, a bad old man, is so irresponsible.
It's the last game of the regular season. If you don't play well, rest the players, and don't let the main players play, do you know that this is called giving up the game?
It goes against the spirit of fair competition in sports. When the game is over, I will go to the NBA office to read your copy!
After scolding him, Min Congda was powerless. At this moment, he wished he was the head coach of the Clippers.
In this way, he can control the team's personnel and tactics.
Although it cannot be obvious that it is bad, not letting the main players appear, and preventing everyone from playing well.
At least he can increase the rotation, stop encouraging everyone, and let everyone play freely, right?
Unlike now, Mike Dunleavy, an old boy, is trying his best. The Lakers are almost surrendering, but he still can't be the main force.
Today, the Clippers used an 8-man rotation, with compact personnel and a standard playoff rhythm.
If it were Min Congda, he would definitely start with ten players in rotation.
If Curry is playing so hotly, he should be allowed to take a break to cool down.
Look, he scored a three-pointer and was shaking his head and sticking out his tongue.
Did your brain get burned out?
From this game, Min Congda had the idea of becoming a head coach.
As a general manager, the control over the team is still a bit low.
Failure to do so is not a failure without a bottom line. Some things can be done without regrets.
There is a lot of luck involved in transactions and signings, and one signing may ruin a team.
For example, Curry ruined Min Congda's plan.
If Min Congda is the head coach, he will definitely control Curry.
If you control the performance of the main players well, you won't be able to reach the playoffs in one go.
As the score difference between the two sides widened, the gap reached more than 15 points.
Min Congda knew that the Clippers won this game and they entered the playoffs.
Not to mention all the efforts throughout the season were in vain, in short most of them were in vain.
He has already begun to make plans for the future and prepare for next season.
Well, if you think about it, making the playoffs isn't that bad.
Look, aren’t everyone around you happy?
Dunleavy began to substitute the main players.
When Curry came off the court, the audience raised his arms and cheered.
Randolph and Gasol took a break one by one.
Everyone received warm applause from the fans when they came off the field.
On the octagonal screen in the center of Staples Center, close-ups of the main players appeared in turn.
Gordon, Ricky Davis, Baron Davis, applause after another.
Near the end of the game, the scene suddenly erupted into huge cheers.
Min Congda thought to himself, who else is this, making such a big move?
Kobe took off his jacket and went on the court? No way.
Then Min Congda felt that the people next to him were looking at him.
He also pointed towards the ceiling of the arena. When he looked up, he noticed that the camera had caught him.
A close-up of Min Congda appeared on the big screen.
That's why there was such thunderous applause and cheers at the scene.
Min Congda, who was originally in a bad mood, was suddenly moved.
The enthusiasm of the fans and the efforts of the players are all visible to the naked eye.
Even if Min Congda's heart was made of iron, it should be burning red from the heat.
He stood up and waved to everyone, enjoying the glory of the crowd's cheers.
At this moment, he felt that some of what he had done seemed worthwhile.
Isn’t it a good thing to be able to bring happiness and passion to so many people?
He became a hero for the Los Angeles Clippers, taking the team to the playoffs in one season.
When the buzzer sounded to end the game, the Clippers players hugged each other and celebrated.
The fans around Min Congda shook hands with him one after another, saying congratulations and thanks.
It's bittersweet.
The system gives a prompt at this time: [The Los Angeles Clippers enter the playoffs and enter the playoff penalty mode, with a fine of US$3,000 for each win. 】
Min Congda's heart suddenly cooled down.
Money is actually a trivial matter. After qualifying for the playoffs, the Clippers' market value will increase.
Also, the "Basketball and Gay" documentary will have a perfect ending to the regular season.
Is there a better ending to a documentary than this?
The 30 million yuan sponsorship fee from YouTube has not been received yet, and it has not been used yet!
In the atmosphere of joy, Min Congda's mood became increasingly sad.
He drew his sword and looked around at a loss, with nowhere to vent his inner anger.
Hey, he saw the three referees tonight, near the technical table.
Min Congda immediately stepped forward and shouted to the three referees: "Hey, those three referees!"
The three of them turned around, and Min Congda cursed: "Fuck you!"
Then Min Congda turned around and left, leaving the three of them with stunned expressions.
What's going on? Why are you scolding us?
Wood said: "Who did you scold just now?"
DeRosa: "All three."
Moto: "Forget it."
