Only women and villains are difficult to raise!
Ada, this little girl, actually learned to rub salt into the wound!
Although Min Congda knew that Ada didn't mean it, this handful of salt really hurt.
This wound has never healed. Whether it is to keep Randolph or to renew Randolph's contract, it is a reckless decision when he first came into contact with the NBA.
I was too careless and believed Fan Chen's words, so I smashed my hands and couldn't do anything!
Randolph is now so undistracted that he has given up drinking and sex, and even his biggest hobby of buying and modifying cars has been stopped, and he just concentrates on playing basketball.
Can he forget the kindness of Mr. Smart?
After hitting the key ball, the Spurs called a timeout.
The Spurs were obviously out of options and were suppressed on both offense and defense.
Although Popovich is resourceful, the NBA has always been about hard power.
Especially in the playoffs, the Clippers clearly outnumbered the Spurs.
In the past, Popovich would have relied on either Duncan or Manu.
Use their personal abilities to break the deadlock and change the situation on the court.
After that, a little bit of Popovich's strategy can take advantage.
This is a characteristic of Popovich's coaching, with more intrigue and less cunning.
It can also be seen from his employment style that he loves stable and obedient veterans.
He was unable to use some thorns with ease, and players with strong personalities such as Rodman and Jackson could not play long under him (he was the manager when Rodman was playing, and he let him go immediately after he couldn't control himself. In the 1996 season, he became a coach. Damn it Duncan).
On the contrary, Rodman can become the rebounding cornerstone and surprise player in Phil Jackson's team for three consecutive championships.
Stephen Jackson played an important role in Nelson's game.
Naturally, a strange plan must be matched with a strange person. If you don't use strange people, it will naturally be difficult to come up with a strange plan.
Therefore, when the Spurs have enough strength, they are very stable and rarely make mistakes.
Between hard-power rivals, a lack of ingenuity often leads to defeat, so they never win consecutive championships.
Once the hard power and paper lineup fall into a disadvantage, the Spurs' chance of defeating their opponents will be very low.
In this round against the Clippers, it seems that the Spurs have a much better record, ranking first versus eighth.
No matter how you look at it, the Spurs' hard power and paper lineup have the advantage.
But after a fight, I realized that at least in this game, the Clippers absolutely suppressed the Spurs.
Of course, the Spurs still have room to maneuver because Ginobili and Miller are still sitting on the bench.
Before the game started, the camera panned Gino Belgium with a smile on his face.
In the fourth quarter, Ginobili could no longer laugh and looked serious.
The Spurs came back from a timeout and Blair replaced McDyess.
Blair rushed to the basket from the middle and was blocked by Milicic.
The Clippers counterattacked, Randolph ran back and cut to the basket, and received a pass from Baron Davis for a layup.
Duncan showed his exhaustion when facing Randolph. He couldn't keep up with his pace and was unable to defend against anyone.
Blair then rushed to the basket again, causing a foul on the Clippers and going to the free throw line.
This is the only way the Spurs can effectively chase points now, which is to rush in desperately and get free throws.
However, this strategy could not last long. Marc Gasol replaced Milicic and returned to the court.
Gasol's ability to protect the basket and defend the paint in the paint was perfectly demonstrated in this game.
This is undoubtedly another "excellent" operation by Min Congda.
Kaman was shot at a high point in exchange for Xiaojia, who is excellent in defense and support.
After seeing García appear on the court, a big hat was given to Parker who broke through.
The Clippers' third-line fast break counterattack, Baron Davis passed the ball to Curry.
When Curry hit a three-pointer, Min Congda lowered his head and covered his face.
What a sin! What a crime!
Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Clippers are already 100:83, leading the Spurs by 17 points!
Who is first and who is eighth!
Even if there are black eight miracles in history.
So if the eighth player beats the first player, it won't be like this.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, the Spurs are missing one Ginobili. And this time they were abnormal, and we were extraordinary, not normal, absolutely not normal."
To say that the Spurs performed abnormally tonight, Min Congda was right.
But the Clippers really didn't perform exceptionally, this was just their normal performance.
This excellent team is far from unleashing their greatest potential.
The Spurs are indeed stretched without Ginobili.
Duncan's low post is useless, and Parker is completely unqualified as an engine tonight - 3 of 13 shots so far.
Is this still the little French sports car whose shooting percentage in the paint once exceeded that of all centers?
When the game reached this point, the Spurs fans knew that this game was a sure loss.
They face the playoffs of the 2011 season with full expectations.
They are once again charging towards the championship as the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference.
As a result, they were beaten so embarrassingly by the eighth-ranked Clippers in the first game.
The faces of the fans were filled with loneliness, and the game began to speed up due to the loss of suspense.
The final stage of the fourth quarter gradually turned into garbage time.
However, the Clippers have no garbage players, and each of the 12-man playoff roster has received enough playing time in the regular season.
Not to mention the starting five, Harden, George, Milicic, Bonner, and Dragic are the standard five substitutes.
The remaining two, P.J. Tucker and Nick Young, played one offense and one defense, and both performed brilliantly in the regular season. They are by no means idlers.
Theoretically, each team can only have 8 to 10 players who can stably exert their value on the field, and the number will be reduced to 7 to 8 in the playoffs.
Because the space on the field is limited and the ball rights are limited, even if some people have the ability, they will be buried because they don't get playing time.
But the Clippers are different, adhering to Min Congda's "everyone has a ball to play" strategy.
Players of different ages and positions can all display their abilities and improve.
In fact, there are 82 NBA regular season games. As long as you don't insist on winning 60 games, reaching the top three, and having a stable core lineup, it is not impossible for everyone to have the ball to play.
Steve Kerr, Dunleavy and others sitting on the bench looked at the results of a season of hard work adjusting the lineup and practicing tactics, and their hearts were filled with joy and hope.
Such a team really has a bright future.
In the last two minutes, the Spurs completely gave up resistance and replaced their main force.
Curry, Gasol, Randolph and others also took a rest.
Dunleavy stood on the sidelines and high-fived the players coming off the court, something the old man rarely did before.
Cole, who was sitting on the bench, said: "Guys, go apologize to Mr. Smart. His choice, persistence and anger are correct. Go, go!"
Gasol and others apologized to Min Congda who was sitting behind the bench.
"Sorry Mr. Smart, we misunderstood you."
"Your intelligence puts us to shame, sorry Mr. Smart."
"I will always support you, Smart. You are always right."
Some of the players touched Min Congda's shoulders, and some touched Min Congda's hands.
Gasol also crossed the bench and hugged Min Congda.
"Mr. Smart, I shouldn't have spread your words indiscriminately. I'm sorry. The Spurs are really good."
Min Congda's face was serious, unsmiling, and had no love in his life, so he just nodded frequently.
I was cursing in my heart: "Damn, Spurs are so good! What Spurs, you are just donkey spurs!"
I originally didn't want to write about the Clippers' victory in the first game, but I looked back at the 2011 game between the Spurs and the Grizzlies, and I found that the Spurs without Ginobili in the first game were really good. The Grizzlies' offense is really bad, otherwise it would be a big victory.
