[Can I trade Jeremy Lin? 】
[No, it’s too unreasonable. 】
[Can I trade Harden? 】
[No, it’s not reasonable enough. 】
[Can I trade Gasol? 】
[No, it’s too unreasonable. 】
[Dear Gan Liliang, just tell me who I can trade away from the Clippers now! 】
[Ricky Davis, Milicic, Dragic, Matt Bonner, PJ Tucker. 】
"Damn, I can trade these five people? These five are all scraps, and two of them are injured and in bad condition. Why should I trade them?"
[Excuse me, how can I trade Stephen Curry. 】
[The Clippers are on the verge of bankruptcy. 】
"I'm sorry!"
In the Clippers' office, Min Congda dropped the game controller in his hand and cursed.
Ada knocked on the door, came in and asked, "Mr. Smart, what's the matter?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I just lost a game, so I feel a little unhappy."
The above is a conversation between Min Congda and the system.
He found himself trapped in an endless loop.
Now that the Clippers' record is so good, he wants to trade these outstanding players on the team.
But because it is unreasonable, it cannot be traded.
For the trade to become reasonable, the Clippers' record must be made worse.
But if his record could get worse, why would he want to trade?
This is simply an endless cycle!
There are only a few things that can be counted on: 1. Injury issues. If the Clippers suffer a wave of injuries and their record declines, there may be hope for a trade.
However, the Clippers are mainly young players and have a large rotation. Everyone's playing time is average.
Recently, when it was the turn of back-to-back games, Tyronn Lue also took a rest.
Let Curry, Harden and other main players get sufficient rest.
Therefore, the Clippers' overall health is very good, and there is no wave of injuries at all.
2. Conflicts broke out within the team, players disagreed with each other, and they took the initiative to apply for a trade.
This happens all the time in many young teams.
NBA players are competitive and often have conflicts off the court, which eventually leads to the disintegration of the team.
For example, the Mavericks' once famous 3J combination, Jason Kidd, Jimmy Jackson, and Jamal Mashburn.
It was originally a promising trio, but due to competition for women, the relationship between the three of them was at odds and they eventually fell apart.
In ancient times, two peaches killed three men. In the NBA, there was a woman who killed three jacks.
Then Kidd went to the Suns, Mashburn was traded to the Heat, and Jimmy Jackson went to the Nets.
The following year, the Mavericks drafted Dirk Nowitzki, beginning the era of King Nowitzki...
But this currently seems to be impossible to achieve with the Clippers.
Curry has a girlfriend Ayesha at a young age. The two have a great relationship and will get married in the next two years.
Curry has little interest in other women and is basically immune to eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. Don’t expect him to be seduced by women.
Not to mention Jeremy Lin, a Christian, he seems to have never been in love until today, and he is still a boy!
He will not participate in any post-game activities of the Clippers. He will always practice, practice, and practice more.
Harden is the one who indulges in drinking and sex the most, and this guy is obviously not in a normal state recently.
There are a lot of ups and downs, and it's easy to be weak, especially when playing at home in Los Angeles.
According to paparazzi reports in Los Angeles, Harden may often go to some high-end games in the upper class and have a lot of fun.
But the result of playing with flowers is to pass through thousands of flowers without a single leaf touching you. Play comes back, play comes back, don’t make fun of your brothers.
He would never get into a conflict with his teammates or friends over a woman. This guy didn't even want to fall in love.
Min Congda lamented that the world is really declining and people's hearts are not good.
Look at people like Kidd and Jackson, as well as the masculine temperament of old-school men. They will draw swords on women over their disagreements, and they will become a beauty in anger!
Look at the new generation of players now. They either enter the marriage grave early, or they don't even fall in love at all - they don't touch anyone, and they touch everywhere.
You want to set up a honey trap, but you won't find the chance.
Moreover, the young players on the Clippers team are quite united and friendly.
Curry and Harden are not jealous at all.
Unlike some stars, when their status, performance, and data in the team are threatened by young players, they start to think of ways to suppress them.
This kind of ball-dominant player does not exist in the Clippers.
Like Randolph inside, even though his ball rights and tactical status have been reduced so much, he still plays the game conscientiously without any complaints.
Jeremy Lin's outburst not only did not make the atmosphere in the Clippers team tense, but also gave the young players hope that they can succeed through hard work.
Everybody wants to be Jeremy Lin.
Throughout February, Jeremy Lin's performance was extremely hot.
After defeating the Cavaliers, the Clippers started a ten-game winning streak and only lost one game in February.
Jeremy Lin averaged 22.7 points and 6.7 assists per game and won two Best of the Week awards and the Western Conference's Best of the Month in February!
This is the second Asian player in NBA history to win the Best of the Week and Best of the Month after Yao Ming!
The three-guard combination composed of Jeremy Lin, Harden, and Curry set off an offensive frenzy.
Their scoring average keeps rising, breaking 100 points every game, and even 110 points is considered a low score.
The Clippers' winning streak did not stop after entering March.
Although Jeremy Lin lost his magic in the game against the Suns on March 2, he was unable to continue his 20+ game momentum.
But he still scored 17 points, 10 assists and 2 steals as a starter.
With the Clippers resting their main players, the team won a victory in Phoenix and achieved an astonishing 12-game winning streak.
In this game, the Clippers' Leonard, Butler, and Paul George became the key players in the victory.
The three of them formed a strong and dynamic frontcourt defense that made the Suns suffer.
This is also what gives Min Congda a headache. Why do these three useless things seem to be quite powerful!
In Min Congda's view, Leonard, George, and Butler are all three positions that are neither three nor four and have no great use.
George is soft, Leonard is stiff, and Butler is ugly.
According to Min Congda's judgment, among these three people, George was too strong to die, and that was Caron Butler.
Leonard, he is taller and has long arms. Is Ariza good?
As for Jimmy Butler, with his short arms and desperate play style, Mad Dog Madsen is your destination.
However, Min Congda was obviously a little mistaken.
George's offense is not as good as Butler's, but his defensive positioning and spirituality have far surpassed Butler's.
Leonard's offensive potential and defensive hardware are by no means comparable to Ariza.
The only thing the two can compare to is their stiffness.
However, under the careful guidance of Jeff Ball and the Clippers' introduction of a shooting coach to transform him, Leonard showed great plasticity.
As for Butler, his current positioning is indeed very similar to Mad Dog Madsen.
But there is a fire burning inside him that is unwilling to be outdone by others, and he goes all out in every game.
After the game, I practiced like crazy.
Now the Clippers are in trouble, and no one is willing to leave unless they practice to the point of vomiting blood every day.
This makes young players increase the ball very quickly, which makes Min Congda extremely worried.
"If you curl up like this at a young age, why don't you lie flat? Everyone has been brainwashed by capitalism. If you curl up like this, what will happen to those who don't want to curl up and want to lie flat and lie flat?"
In fact, Min Congda is the only one who wants to destroy the entire Clippers.
The rest of the Clippers are already on their way to the championship.
At the end of February, the NBA experienced the All-Star Weekend.
Min Congda had no chance to participate because he was in the suspension period.
Curry, Harden, Gasol, and Randolph of the Clippers were selected to the All-Stars.
Jeremy Lin received a high number of votes and almost edged out Paul to be selected as an All-Star.
Later, NBA officials made changes to the voting weights, which caused Jeremy Lin's number of votes to be slightly lower.
There was no funny situation where Jeremy Lin was selected as an All-Star but Paul was not selected.
Of course, this also illustrates how well Jeremy Lin has performed during this period and how popular "Linsanity" has been.
Throughout February, Jeremy Lin's jersey sales ranked first in the NBA, surpassing popular superstars such as Kobe Bryant and James.
It can be said that a miracle was created.
The popularity of Jeremy Lin's phenomenal player has indirectly helped the Clippers to further enhance their reputation.
Needless to say, after this season ends, the Clippers' market value will definitely increase!
In the All-Star Game, Kevin Durant won the AMVP and became the star of stars as he wished.
Durant's clink means the rise of a new generation of superstars in the league.
The 2011-2012 season is destined to be a season for new teams and new stars to bloom.
After the All-Star Game, the Clippers' winning streak lasted until mid-March.
They won one victory after another, which boosted the morale of the team.
The team's condition is getting better and better, and the team is on the fast track.
From March 1st to March 9th, the Clippers experienced another six consecutive visitors.
They fought all the way from Sacramento to San Antonio, sweeping all the way, destroying everything and winning everything!
On March 9, after the Clippers defeated the Spurs 131:105 in an away game with a huge advantage of 26 points, they won 16 consecutive victories!
After the game, ESPN headlines published the title: Who can stop the Los Angeles Clippers?
With 16 consecutive wins, the longest winning streak this season, the Clippers no longer know how to lose.
Especially in the game against the Spurs, the Clippers' outside touch exploded. Of the three outside points of Harden, Curry, and Jeremy Lin, there were always two points that could explode.
Harden + Curry have proven to be able to choke before, after all, the two are still young.
But add Jeremy Lin, who is in excellent form, and it's really hard to stop him.
If Jeremy Lin is the only one, the Spurs can find a way to deal with it.
Part of the reason for Jeremy Lin's explosive performance was that every team was unfamiliar with him and had no idea what Jeremy Lin's routines and playing styles were.
After he broke out in many games and became the focus of the league, every team began to study Jeremy Lin.
For example, Jeremy Lin relies on explosive power when holding the ball, and changes little after the first breakthrough.
For example, Jeremy Lin's breakthrough with his left hand is much worse than his right hand. It is a good idea to force him to use his left hand.
For example, Jeremy Lin's breakthrough route is relatively fixed. If the main route is blocked, he will not have many options.
Also, Jeremy Lin likes to shoot inefficient long two-pointers, and Jeremy Lin's fast break layup is not stable enough, etc.
Therefore, Jeremy Lin's performance has been declining since March. Every team has targeted him with targeted defense, and it is difficult for him to score more than 20 points.
However, Harden and Curry are really not vegetarians. Randolph and Gasol are also squatting inside.
On the bench, a group of newcomers such as George, Leonard, and Butler are eager to try, and everyone expresses themselves boldly.
Lin's crazy miracle inspired everyone on and off the Clippers!
Except for their general manager.
While Min Congda was undergoing psychological treatment, he kept comforting himself that the Clippers would not be able to go far with such a performance.
"A regular season team, just a regular season team. Didn't the Rockets win 22 consecutive games in 2008? What's the use? The Clippers only have 16 consecutive wins so far, so there's nothing to be afraid of!"
Min Congda comforted himself with these words.
However, when the Clippers returned to their home court on March 11, they defeated the Golden State Warriors 140:98 with a 42-point advantage.
That night, Min Congda opened the bathroom cabinet and took out the medicines prescribed by his psychiatrist—he decided to start taking Prozac.
This is an antidepressant drug with relatively few side effects.
The more the Clippers win, the worse Min Congda's mood becomes.
Although he had already formulated a strategy to go bankrupt quickly before, he no longer cared so much about his performance.
But this strategy has a fatal flaw: the Clippers can't win the championship.
Once the Clippers win the championship, the probability of failure will be much greater through plans to build arenas and bankrupt the luxury tax.
On March 12, the Clippers faced the Boston Celtics back-to-back at home.
The Celtics are a team that can be called the winner of a winning streak, and they like to play the role of villain in the league.
In 2008, the Houston Rockets' 22-game winning streak was ended by the Big Three of the Green Army at the time.
Of course, at that time, the Big Three were at their peak, a championship season with 66 wins in the regular season.
Now four years have passed, and the power of the Big Three is still there.
This season, the Celtics are in better shape than last season.
After experiencing the twists and turns at the beginning of the season, the Celtics established a new tactical system.
And this system is exactly the one Tyronn Lue approved of when he was with the Celtics!
Let Kevin Garnett move to the fifth position to play center, and the team will open up a path with one player and four players.
The focus of the offense is completely on the outside, taking advantage of Rondo's organization, Ray Allen's off-ball three-pointers and Pierce's singles ability with the ball.
Garnett focuses entirely on the defensive end, and the offensive end is blue-collar and marginalized. He mainly focuses on support, screening and mid-range jumpers after receiving the ball. He basically no longer designs one-on-one singles tactics for him in the low post, and only occasionally plays one. .
The reason for this is because the Celtics' record is really bad, and the previous system was too inefficient.
Relying entirely on super defense is too difficult in the regular season, and efficient offense is the way to go.
This shift by the Celtics indicates that the league is shifting towards an offensive line, and the direction has completely reversed.
In this back-to-back game, the Clippers did not take any rest, but the Celtics were obviously extremely well prepared.
Kevin Garnett is in the fifth position, carrying Gasol and Randolph by himself, with double coverage on defense and excellent offensive touch on the perimeter.
He made 9 of 16 in the game and scored 23 points with high efficiency, becoming the winner of the game.
The Clippers' relatively "extensive" three-guard quick attack lost its previous glory in front of the Celtics, who have the best defense in the league.
All fast breaks and three-pointers were contained. Jeremy Lin was defended by Rajon Rondo and only scored 7 points on 2 of 10 shots.
"Linsanity" seems to be finally coming to an end.
In the past 10 games, the Clippers failed to score 100 points in the first game, losing to the Celtics 97:103.
The Celtics' Big Three used tough defense to end the Clippers' 17-game winning streak.
They once again showed their style as a strong team tester and poured cold water on the Clippers team.
But it gave Min Congda hope!
Because Min Congda's 25-game suspension is about to end.
League referees, tremble!
Some people died, but not completely...
