Chapter 84: Is It Aimed at Me (Eighth Update)
After the Clippers established an advantage in the second quarter, they didn't give the Timberwolves many chances.
The Clippers were obviously in very good shape in this game, especially Randolph, who was in excellent form.
His scoring is not that explosive, 30+, 40+, offensive means determine that he can rarely cut such a high score.
However, Randolph's low position has a strong tactical significance for the team, and he usually starts the game when the two sides are in good shape.
This is conducive to laying a good scoring foundation and psychological foundation for the team's later games.
In the first quarter, he played strongly to lay the advantage, the second quarter came off the bench to open the score, and in the third quarter, when the two sides tried their best to compete, Randolph stood up again and scored points at the critical moment to stabilize the situation.
By the fourth quarter, the Clippers, who had a 10-point advantage, had already established the victory, and the Timberwolves lacked the means to counter the Clippers, and the offensive end lacked enough explosiveness to turn the situation around.
Especially in the absence of the Timberwolves Lefou, the team's offensive and defensive system collapsed, and the inside rebounding was very explosive.
Rebounds are not guaranteed, the team doesn't even have the ball, how to fight back, how to chase points?
In addition, the Timberwolves team has no winning culture, and it is on the road, and there is no hope, so let's go home and take a shower after the game.
Min Congda looked at the Timberwolves' lack of fighting spirit on the court, and wanted to replace their head coach and kick them in the ass.
'What team, what players, what manager? This...... By the way, the key is that their main player Kevin Love is absent, why is he absent again? It's the absence of key players again, I'm grassy, I've played five games, and the opponent has a big player absent, are you targeting me? ”
Min Congda sent out a weak torture in his heart, and no one would give him an answer.
In the end, the Clippers easily defeated the Timberwolves 100-93 at home, with a 7-point advantage.
The record at the start of the tournament came to 3 wins and 2 losses, which is very good.
Needless to say, Min Congda, 2,000 yuan was in the soup.
I'm still thinking about making up for my stock, making up for his grandmother's legs.
What made Min Congda even more upset was the performance of the Clippers players in this game.
Randolph added 24 points and is averaging 23 points per game so far this season, along with 11 rebounds, including five in the field.
Stephen Curry played a mediocre game, with 6 points and 3 assists, leading the second team to play a very good performance.
However, compared to the opposite Thabit, Curry's performance is really as good as a fairy.
Tabit played 8 minutes, 0 points, 1 rebound, 2 turnovers, and 2 fouls, a pure side effect on the court.
Such a fairy player, Min Congda actually missed him in the draft!
Heartache, heartache, Min Congda's heart is dripping blood.
Why did I miss him when I was flipping through the player's profile?
"Damn, these garbage scouts, nonsense, what a defensive genius, the next African mountain, Nima is a gravebag, not even a hill. It's too hard for me, these scouts, it's all on purpose. ”
"And these teams are also deliberate, why are they always missing arms and legs, not on the main team, what is the situation?"
Min Congda was full of resentment and bitterness in his heart, and just like that, the coaching staff came to congratulate him.
I congratulate your mother on selling money, the 2,000 yuan is gone, and he has to force a smile.
And Min Congda's nightmare has just begun.
On November 6, the Clippers, who had experienced a high-density schedule, went to Oakland to challenge the Golden State Warriors after a three-day rest.
The Warriors, like the Timberwolves, are also one of the bad teams, and several teams have been the protagonists of the draft all year round.
The Warriors originally wanted to take Curry, but unfortunately Min Congda used the top pick to cut off the beard, so they could only retreat and choose the Spanish golden boy Rubio with the seventh pick.
Spending a lot of money to settle Rubio's contract issues, the Golden Boy caught up with the team's regular season after missing the summer league and preseason games.
In the first few games of the regular season, Rubio played well and quickly established himself as the team's starting point guard.
Together with Monta Ellis, they form a talented backcourt combination.
The Clippers came to visit, and the attendance rate of Oracle Arena exceeded 90%, indicating that fans are very optimistic about the excitement of the matchup between the two teams.
Because of the proximity, Min Congda came to the scene to watch the game in person, and there were quite a lot of Chinese fans of the Oracle players, which made Min Congda feel the enthusiasm of the West Coast.
But what made Min Congda extremely unhappy was that when he looked at the starting list of the Warriors, there was one less general!
Their starting power forward, David Lee, has been included in the injury list and will not play in this game.
Min Congda is angry, what do you teams want to do one by one?
Lakers, Gasol not up, Suns, Richardson not up, Jazz, Oku not on, Mavericks, Howard not on, Timberwolves, Love not on, and now the Warriors David Lee - not on either?
What are you doing here to help with targeted poverty alleviation?
I don't want to eat, so I opened my mouth and stuffed it in for me, right?
And the process of the game made Min Congda's blood pressure rise.
The Clippers had a three-day break, and the whole team was in full lineup, full of energy, and in excellent condition.
Facing the Warriors without their main striker, David Lee, Randolph went crazy again.
In the first quarter, the Warriors scored 11 points inside, 10 points in the second quarter, and 21 points in the half.
The Clippers led the Warriors by as much as 21 points at 71:50 in the first half, and directly blew up the Warriors!
In the third quarter, Randolph continued to work hard and scored his first 30 points of the season in one go!
Carman, who partnered with him, also scored 22 points, and the two combined for 52 points, completely blowing up the Warriors' interior line.
also completely broke Min Congda's blood pressure.
The live camera was given to Min Congda twice, and this guy had a sad face, and he really couldn't laugh.
How can this be laughing, I can't pretend to be able to pretend, I can't pretend to be, I can't pretend to be me.
The 48-minute game, because of the premature loss of suspense, was played in less than 2 hours.
At 115:90, the Clippers beat the Warriors by 25 points away and won two consecutive victories!
The Clippers players were all smiling, the bench was full of laughter, and even the usually gloomy Mike Dunleavy had a little more relaxed face.
At the end of the game, Dunleavy shook hands with Warriors head coach Don Nelson like his old coach.
And Don Nelson unceremoniously said to Dunleavy: "You little bastard, you snatched Curry in the draft!" ”
Dunleavy was very aggrieved and said, "Don, it wasn't my idea to pick Curry, it was Smart's guy, he picked Curry despite everyone's objections." ”
"And I really don't know, the Warriors want that Curry, but that kid is really good."
Curry was still mediocre tonight, with 11 points, five assists, and 2-of-4 three-pointers.
He came off the bench and completed his task relatively well and won with the team.
Nelson looked at Curry and felt a lot of pain in his heart, this is the quality guard he wants to get.
While Rubio is also very good, he and Curry are completely different types, and he is not subversive.
"Mike, how are you going to train this kid?" Nelson asked.
"The next Sam Cassel." Dunleavy replied.
Don Nelson had a disgusted look on his face and said, "What kind of bullshit are you putting Mike, look at their faces, can they be the same type?" ”
Dunleavy said: "I'm talking about playing style, not appearance!" ”
Nelson still shook his head, but he didn't say much, since he was not from his own team, he could cultivate as much as the other party liked.
I just think it's a bit of a pity.
After the victory, the Clippers didn't stop at Oaklando, and they went back to Los Angeles because of back-to-back games.
To Min Congda's despair, the Clippers' next opponent after two consecutive wins was the Grizzlies, who had a 1-5 record at this time.
And, without a doubt, the Grizzlies also have a major interior absentee, and that is Blake Griffin.
Min Congda couldn't bear it anymore, and the day after he returned to Los Angeles, he dialed the president's office in New York.
"LA Clippers General Manager, Smart Min, looking for President Mr. Stern, I have something to ask him!"
