Chapter Seventy-Two: What Happened

At noon, Min Congda drove Dario to Los Angeles International Airport, where she will take a flight back to New York in the afternoon.

Passion is short-lived and unforgettable, Min Congda, who has no love experience, suddenly gave him such a high intensity, plus the parting scene, he was also a little unbearable, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Daddario almost satisfies all kinds of fantasies that men have about their other half, beautiful, sexy, cheerful, with outstanding family background, young and promising, warm and generous personality, and it can be seen that a good education and a good upbringing environment make her mind relatively simple, and has not been polluted by the pickled environment of Vanity Fair.

When they parted, there were tears in Daddario's turquoise eyes, and she hugged Min Congda tightly, and the short time they got along with her had a sense of reluctance in her heart.

However, although the two have done everything, they have not emotionally pierced the last layer of window paper, Daddario still has an acting career to chase, and Min Congda also wants to lead the Clippers to seriously mess up.

The love of children and daughters cannot become a fetters and obstacles that prevent the two from moving forward towards their respective career goals.

Leaving the airport, Min Congda stopped on the side of the road and watched the plane fly into the sky, fly into the sky, and disappear without a trace into the clouds, sighed deeply, and thought, "Do you want to go to the ONLY bar for a drink at night?" ”

Since he didn't have a relationship with Daddario, he naturally didn't have to keep the festival for her, so he still had to do it, right?

But he couldn't get together the four heavenly kings of wine and wealth, and Min Congda didn't dare to go deep into the pink cave of Santa Barbara alone, and the heroines there were not something he could easily grasp alone.

This evening, the Clippers are flying to Salt Lake City for their first real road game of the new season.

For this game, Min Congda is still relatively relieved, the strength of the Jazz and the plateau away, it is difficult to get the benefits of the Clippers who have just finished back-to-back.

The away journey is hard, after this game, the Clippers will soon return to Los Angeles, Min Congda will not follow the trip, and Salt Lake City has nothing to do.

The weather is cold, the food is not good, the accommodation is not good, there is no entertainment at night, and it is comfortable to stay in Los Angeles.

On the evening of October 30, at 5 p.m. Pacific time, the Clippers challenged the Jazz on the road.

Min Congda cooks dinner at home while watching the game on the TV, and he has never paid so much attention to sports events in his life.

The Jazz team Min Congda still has an impression, because the last stumbling block to the hegemony of the Chicago Bulls and Jordan in 97 and 98 was the Jazz.

At that time, Xinhua Bookstore had large posters of the Jazz Karl Malone and Stockton, wearing classic snowy mountain jerseys, and was one of the few NBA teams that Min Congda remembered.

Karl Malone left the Jazz in the summer of '03 and joined the Lakers to form F4, and the Jazz officially ended the 20-year Utah Double Brake era.

It is a rare thing for a team to be led by a combination in 20 years, step by step, to the highest stage of the NBA.

After Malone left, the Jazz signed a player who was somewhat similar to Malone in '04, Cavaliers anti-skeleton Carlos Boozer.

Then, in the '05 draft, he used a valuable probe to take Deron Williams, and began to cultivate carefully, forming a new point guard-power forward combination with Carlos Boozer to support the Jazz's offensive system.

With the growth of Williams, the Jazz have become a force to be reckoned with in the West in the past two years, and they are known and hated by Chinese fans because they eliminated the Rockets in the first round of the 07 and 08 seasons.

Because of the existence of veteran coach Jerry Sloan, the Jazz's combat effectiveness has been very stable, and in the face of a team that is inferior to itself in terms of book strength, it can steadily abuse vegetables and win.

However, in the face of those whose book strength is stronger than their own, Jazz does not resign himself to fate, and rarely bursts out with powerful energy to overturn the opponent in one fell swoop.

That's probably what Salt Lake City basketball is all about, together, but with a little less talent.

The loss of their owner, Larry Miller, to the Jazz in February, was an absolute major blow to the Jazz.

Larry Miller is one of the few good guy owners in the league, and it is because of his presence that the Jazz have been able to maintain a consistent lineup and tactics, and the Iron Triangle has been able to survive here for 20 years.

Replaced by a boss who is aggressive, paranoid, or likes to take care of this and that (like Sterling), the Jazz would have been unrecognizable.

Once such an owner dies, it will have a great impact on the team's management style and the stability of the team, but there is no clue in the short term.

The Jazz have also been affected by injuries since the start of the season, starting center Oku is absent due to injury, and the Clippers' shit luck is really good, playing three games in a row, and the opponent has key players absent from every game.

It can be said that luck has given me enough opportunities.

After the game started, the Clippers did play well, Min Congda watched the two teams go back and forth in the first quarter while chopping vegetables, and he had a lot of opinions about the Jazz's defense.

"Will Carlos Boozer be able to defend? What is your traversal speed, will you be able to top people? It's too easy for Randolph to make a move, right? ”

"Fuck, this is also a bald head, No. 5 bald head, how can you have the same virtue as the Lakers No. 2 bald head? Let me see! ”

Min Congda put down the kitchen knife in his hand, opened the laptop resting on the small table next to him, and opened the NBA data website to check it.

I don't know if I don't check this, I was shocked when I checked it, it turned out that the Lakers' No. 2 bald Fisher and No. 5 bald Boozer were teammates in the Jazz.

"It turns out that you two bald heads have been teammates together, no wonder you can't get any good results, can you win the championship with such a defense."

In the first quarter, the Clippers led the Jazz by one point at 33-32.

Min Congda was very angry, and cut and chopped the dishes on the board, afraid that he would treat these dishes as bald No. 2 and bald No. 5.

By the time Min Congda cooked the food, the first half of the game was over, and the Clippers actually led the Jazz by 4 points on the road.

"I can't eat this meal, what are you NBA powerhouses? I didn't have any operations in the summer, the draft was blindly selected, a trade was not made, a good player was not signed, none of you could end the battle at halftime, I think you team general managers are all dry food, grinders, all TM waste! ”

The game continued until the fourth quarter, when the situation on the court changed abruptly, and the Jazz suddenly strengthened their defense, and the intensity increased by more than one notch.

The Clippers instantly entered a scoring drought, with a series of turnovers, and consecutive misses on outside shots, so they could only rely on Randolph to support himself in the low post.

Although Randolph's strength is good, his style of play determines that he has little scoring explosiveness, and he scores about 20 points per game steadily, and it is difficult to make more contributions for the rest.

On the basis of strong defense, the Jazz continued to play counterattacks, and the suffocating tsunami of the Salt Lake City Energy Solution Center made the Clippers players completely lost.

In the fourth quarter, the Jazz played a 20-5 offensive climax of the Clippers, and the difference between the two sides was suddenly stretched to 12 points.

It turned out that the Jazz were just playing with the Clippers in the first three quarters, and in the fourth quarter, the defense suddenly made a force, and a wave took away the Clippers.

"Hey, not bad, I'm relieved now, it turns out that the front is acting, eat and eat!"

Seeing that the Jazz were in control of the game, Min Congda, who was in a good mood, decided to eat, and he went downstairs to the convenience store to buy a bottle of beer to celebrate the upcoming $2,000 salary.

As a result, as soon as the beer was bought, the game was not over yet, and I looked at the score on TV:

“Jazz:Clippers,105:103…… Damn, why did the Jazz lead by two points? I went buy a beer! Is the TV broken? Is the TV broken? ”

Obviously, it can't be that the TV is broken, but Min Congda doesn't want to believe it, how did the Clippers catch up with the score in just a few minutes?

What happened in these few minutes?
