Before the final game of the regular season, Min Congda came to the team's locker room to check the team's morale.

From February to April, Min Congda's life was really uncomfortable, just like the stockholders who bought stocks and experienced a stock market crash.

In nearly two months, the slide from 5,000 points all the way down to 1,800 points was a complete disaster.

If this disaster is really like a stock market crash, it would be nice to end it in a week or two.

But it lasted for 2 months, and the people who tortured Min Congda were not ghosts, and every day I thought about why the Clippers were still winning?

Because the trade deadline is over, Min Congda has no chance to trade if he wants to, and it is impossible to lay off people.

Let the coaching staff play badly, everyone has the ball, these moves are useless, either the system does not allow it, or everyone is on the head.

Everyone thinks that Min Congda deliberately said this to let the players relax, but he can't explain it, and it doesn't make sense.

As a result, Min Congda has not completed any plans in the past two months, and he is staring at the team's record.

Fortunately, Min Congda, who had strong willpower, slowly walked out of this huge blow.

Now it seems, the situation is not so bad either.

If the last game is lost to the Lakers, it will naturally be all right.

If you can't make the playoffs, you don't have to worry about losing money.

If you win the last game, you will enter the first round of the playoffs to play the Lakers.

With the comparison of the strength of the two sides, it is impossible to want Black Eight.

Full of calculations, the Clippers played at a super level, and the Lakers played at a low level.

The two sides played a tie-break, the Clippers won 3 games, and Min Congda lost $9,000.

In order to be prepared to pay $9,000, Min Congda has scolded the referee a lot in the past two months.

By the way, on NBA-Batman, referee reports and screenshots of penalties are posted from time to time.

In the post-match analysis article, he also criticized the referee in order to vent his anger.

Annoyed, the coalition office issued three fines to Min in March and April.

fined him a total of $60,000, which healed Min Congda's wounded heart very well.

It also gave Min Congda the confidence to deal with the playoff crisis.

So, it's good to lose tonight, and it's not unacceptable to win.

Min Congda is such a big husband who can bend and stretch.

As soon as he entered the Clippers locker room, Min Congda felt a solemn atmosphere.

Obviously, everyone cares a lot about the crucial game to make the playoffs.

Especially the opponent is still the Lakers, win them, and face the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs.

For the first time in history, the Los Angeles derby, it was absolutely fascinating.

To the chagrin of the Clippers players, the Lakers let Kobe Bryant rest in this game.

It means that it doesn't matter if you lose to the Clippers, it's the same for anyone in the first round anyway.

It's good to play the Clippers because you don't have to run around home and away, it's all in Los Angeles.

That's just great for the Lakers, a series of games at home.

Min Congda has foreseen that if the Lakers have a slight disadvantage, they may collapse.

He's anxious, but what can he say when he gets to the Clippers locker room?

"Don't play hard, let's lose early, the playoff teams don't pay salaries."

"Fishing that should go home to fish, picking up girls who should go picking, what do you have to do to play in the playoffs?"

He couldn't say that, he could only walk around the locker room a few times without saying a word.

There was an anxious look on his face.

On more than one occasion, you have seen Mr. Smart look like this.

In the last month or two, he has been walking around the locker room a lot.

He didn't talk much, just frowned and looked around, and then left with a serious face.

At first, everyone speculated that Smart was really going to die, or that he wouldn't make the playoffs and would have to resign.

Everyone was worried about his health and work.

Later, these rumors were dispelled, and everyone knew that Smart would definitely stay in office, and it had nothing to do with whether he made the playoffs or not.

So I felt that it must be because of too much pressure, I wanted the team to make the playoffs too much, and there were fewer smiles on my face.

So on April Fool's Day, all the staff and players of the team discussed and joked with Min Congda.

I wanted to amuse Min Congda, but after the joke, Min Congda became even more melancholy.

Later, Dunleavy said, "There is only one thing that Mr. Smart really cares about, and if the team can make the playoffs, everyone will work hard." This is the last one, so keep it up. ”

Coming out of the Clippers' locker room, Min Congda especially wanted to go to the Lakers' locker room.

Give the Lakers players a good cheer, refuel, and stimulate Kobe Bryant by the way.

This guy didn't even play, just to have a good rest and prepare for the playoffs.

Min Congda was very angry in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, so he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Fan Chen.

"Fan Chen, tweet on his account, as follows: One thing that Kobe Bryant will never be able to surpass Jordan is that Jordan will never take a break from the regular season for the playoffs, because Jordan said that he didn't want to disappoint the fans who saved up to buy tickets to watch his game."

After a while, Fan Chen replied: "I can send it, but I want to say that in fact, Kobe Bryant doesn't take many turns off, and he is not in good health this year." And isn't a rotation off a good thing for the Clippers? ”

Min Congda replied righteously, "But it's not good for basketball." ”

This sentence left Fan Chen speechless, and immediately tweeted this on NBA-Batman.

At the end of the tweet, Fan Chen also added, "From the heart of a sincere basketball fan." ”

It's a pity that no matter what Min Congda does, he can't influence the course of the final game.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the two sides started to play.

Except for Kobe Bryant, the Lakers' other main forces are there.

Fisher, Gasol, Bynum, Artest and Odom.

The player who started in place of Kobe tonight is Shannon Brown.

On the Clippers' side, the starting lineup has gradually stabilized.

Randolph, Gasol Jr., Baron Davis, Ricky Davis plus Curry.

An unintentional trade by Min Congda at the trade deadline on Feb. 18 propelled Ricky Davis to the starting small forward position.

Unexpectedly, this change has a significant impact on the Clippers.

Since Feb. 18, the Clippers have improved their efficiency on the offensive end and their points per game average.

On average, he hit two more three-pointers per game, both of which came from Ricky Davis' contribution.

At the same time, there hasn't been a significant dip on the defensive end as Ricky Davis is trying to do a good job in 3-and-D.

He is using his performance to slowly wash away the shame and ridicule from his body.

In addition to the Los Angeles derby, the Lakers and Clippers matchup will also be a confrontation between the Gasol brothers.

Gasol Jr. also secured the Clippers' starting center position and played more and more well.

He doesn't have the same great low-post offensive skills as Carman.

But he's better defensively, he's taller and stronger, and he's got a good hand to play with.

His arrival has enriched the Clippers' interior tactics and made the team's style of play more three-dimensional.

After half a season of running-in, he and Randolph have become more and more tacit.

Min Congda sat on the sidelines and watched Gasol Jr. and Bynum jump ball.

The ball went into the hands of Curry, whom he had hand-picked, and the game began.
