After losing to the Jazz, the Clippers improved their record to 25-24.

With a win rate still above 50 percent, it can only sit in 11th place in the West, and is gradually moving away from the playoffs.

And this result can even rank sixth in the East, so Min Congda is glad that the Clippers are in the strong West, not in the East where the crotch is pulling.

In the east, this situation of crotch pulling has been alleviated in recent years.

Earlier, in the first few years of the 21st century, the eastern cuisine could not enter the first place in the division and the top four in the west.

In other words, if you play the playoffs from the first place in the East to the West, you won't have a home-court advantage.

At that time, the western team went to the east to play away games, and it was not called a game, but a tour.

However, the internal competition of the Western team has become more and more fierce, especially in recent years, with the Lakers robbing Gasol, the Western arms race has reached a peak.

In the 2007-2008 season, the eighth Nuggets in the West had a 50-32 record!

What is this concept? In the 2002-2003 season, the No. 1 Pistons in the East were just that.

With a record of 50 wins, put in the 2007-2008 season in the East, he can finish fourth in the East and enter the top half.

Last season, the West made the playoffs with 49 wins, which is also fourth in the East.

Needless to say, this season, it will take around 50 wins to get a playoff ticket.

Based on this, combined with the current 25-24 record of the Clippers, plus the difficulty of the upcoming schedule.

It's going to be very difficult for the Clippers to make the playoffs.

On Feb. 10, the day after the game against the Jazz, the Clippers traveled to Oakland to face the Golden State Warriors.

Min Congda, who has recently suffered a lot of damage on the team's investment, decided to travel with the team to Auckland, hoping to heal his wounded soul with the team.

The turmoil of the mall made Min Congda feel unbearable, and it was more comfortable to get along with relatively simple athletes.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Oracle Arena, a big battle with the Warriors.

Curry vs Rubio is the focus of attention in this game.

The Warriors took the golden boy Rubio with the seventh pick in the draft.

Negotiations with Rubio's old club were quickly made to resolve his contract issues.

The Spanish golden boy was able to land in the NBA early and play under the mad scientist Nelson Sr.

Nelson Sr. excelled at using defenders and developed a series of tactical systems that were heavy on offense and light on defense.

In the current league where defense wins championships, his forward-thinking philosophy has made his team unique in the league.

Unfortunately, they just can't win, and the Warriors have a measly 15-45 record this season.

Sitting at the bottom of the West, the playoffs are completely hopeless.

However, Rubio played like a fish in water with the Warriors, and his style of play fits well with Monta Ellis.

Rubio is good at playmaking, fast advancement, shooting is his weak point, and his individual offensive ability is average.

Although his appearance and temperament are very similar to the league's super scorer back then, Pete Maravich, nicknamed Pistol.

But there is really no similarity between the two in terms of playing style, and the old Nelson also muttered in his heart, if only this thing could have Maravich's shooting ability.

Of course, Rubio's talent on the offensive end is evident, his passing, vision is top-notch, and he is full of spirituality.

Coupled with his handsome and cute appearance, with the youth and sunshine of a Spanish boy, he quickly won the love of Bay Area fans and made Warriors fans forget the regret of missing Curry.

Before the game began, a fan at the scene put up a sign that said, "We have Richie, we don't need Girl Stephen anymore." ”

The name Stephen is unisexual, but for the most part, girls use it a little more.

Boys will generally use similar names like Steve, such as Steve Cole, Steve Nash.

Curry, on the other hand, uses Stephen, who is originally small, baby-faced, and lacks some masculinity in appearance.

Some fans will joke with his name, saying that he is a girl at all, as if Zhuge Liang gave Sima Yi women's clothes.

From ancient times to the present, from the middle to the outside, scolding a man has always been a good way to stimulate.

Curry just smiled at the slogans, he didn't want to bother with the fans, similar slogans are there every road game.

If you were angry with the fans, the NBA players would have been angry to death.

Curry opted to hit back with his on-court performance.

Curry continued to start the game, opposite Ricci Rubio.

The Warriors' starters, Rubio, Monta Ellis, Anthony Toliver, Anthony Morrow, plus Biedrins.

This starting lineup is a typical big and four small, and the old Nelson used this lineup to play with the Clippers with the inside duo, and it was also fatal.

Anyway, this year's team record is like this, it doesn't matter if you win or not, just play casually.

Sure enough, as soon as the game began, the Clippers took advantage of the inside advantage to score one after another.

Defending Randolph is the 2.03-meter-tall Toliver, known as a big forward, but in fact the physique of a small forward.

The undrafted in 07 has been tossed and turned in many teams such as the Cavaliers, Spurs, and Hornets, and has never been reused.

He is a non-trivial player, and his position in this era is particularly awkward.

They tend to shine in the NCAA league, but once they get to the senior leagues, they find themselves too slow to do three and too short to do four.

Since the 21st century, the NBA has entered the era of super power forwards, with Duncan, Garnett, Webb, Nowitzki and others all having center-level height, strength, playing the No. 4 position, and even having the speed of the No. 3 position.

You are all being eaten alive in the face of this kind of top power forward, and your talent cannot be displayed at all.

The talent is as strong as Beasley, the top star in '08, and he is also tepid, averaging 13 points per game in his rookie season, and now he has 14 points, which is completely lacking in the talent crushing performance of college.

Beasley's survival in the NBA is even more difficult for people like Anthony Tolivier.

He was already on the verge of elimination, but was favored by Nelson Sr., and the Warriors signed him on a short-term contract.

In a team as strange as the Warriors, he sat in the position of starting power forward and became the main force of the team.

Under the old Nelson's fast, non-defensive offensive system, his statistics soared, from averaging two or three points and two or three rebounds per game to 12 points and seven rebounds per game.

Proper high-quality rotation data, of course, there must be moisture in it.

But if he can play such statistics, it is enough to survive in the league, and he doesn't have to worry about his next contract.

In the face of a low-post beast like Randolph, Tolivier is like a papier-mâché on the defensive end.

At the beginning of the first quarter, Randolph attacked again and again in the low post, and the Warriors did not cover it, allowing Randolph to eat Toliver.

Hitting four balls in a row on his head fully demonstrated Randolph's versatile positional attacking skills and soft touch.

Watching Tolliver being beaten to the ground by Randolph, he looked helpless.

Min Congda, who watched the game from the sidelines, firmly established the 2K10 selection strategy he had formulated.

"When selecting players in the future, we must choose this kind of small forward who is more than 2 meters old and does not have any mistakes. Get together a bunch, and the bad team can be expected. ”
