Chapter 207: Future Superstar (Fifth Update)
Although the balance of victory was in favor of the Clippers, an eight-point advantage was definitely not enough for the Clippers to bother with the victory.
Twelve minutes in the fourth quarter was enough for the Lakers to close the gap and walk away with an entire series.
From the second half of the third quarter, Curry stayed on the court without a minute of rest.
Curry played well enough tonight, scoring 17 points in the third quarter, the best game he played.
As soon as the fourth quarter came up, Bryant singled Gordon at the horn position.
Gordon was arguably doing his best tonight against Kobe Bryant's defense.
Kobe Bryant made continuous feints and shook Gordon up, but Gordon still didn't foul.
Kobe Bryant made a strong shot and missed the shot.
Min Congda shook his head when he saw the ball, and thought: "This kind of ball has shaken Gordon up, you still shoot, lean on him, won't the foul come...... No, no, I'm a positive person tonight, how can I help Kobe. ”
Min Congda is not too comfortable being a Clippers fan right now.
He hoped that this status would be maintained for a while, and that it would not continue.
Otherwise, the money bag can't bear it, and $3,000 is 18,000 yuan.
That's not a small amount, and that's a quarter of bonuses.
Randolph got the rebound, Curry held the ball at the top of the arc, and once again shook off Kobe Bryant's defense and burst into the basket.
The Lakers shrank their defense, and Curry distributed the ball to Randolph on the wing.
Randolph hits a mid-range jumper!
It was the second mid-range shot by Randolph in the second half.
He really can't kill in the middle distance, and he can't reach Garnett's level.
Garnett couldn't kill anyone, let alone Randolph.
But as a tactical node, these two goals are enough.
The Lakers' next offense became the stage for referee Joe Crawford's performance.
Odom broke through the basket and knocked down PJ Tucker, who was on his feet early.
Crawford blew his whistle, kicked his calf, and threw an exaggerated punch to sentence Odom to hit someone with the ball.
The audience cheered, and the penalty seemed to announce that the Lakers had entered a suspended death.
The Clippers' offense after opening up space left the Lakers with no focus.
Curry broke through the basket again, and the layup was interfered with and missed.
But Randolph rushed in from the outside and jumped up slightly.
The ball jumped a few times off the basket and fell back into the net, making a layup.
Randolph was freed from the low post and scored with more dexterity.
The Clippers' offense not only didn't collapse, but played better.
Seeing this situation, Min Congda began to think about it again.
Because when he made this adjustment, he didn't expect it to work so well.
Is it really the tweaking that has an effect, or is it just luck?
It just so happened that the Lakers were not in good shape and did not adapt to this tactical change, so the situation suddenly became clear.
"No, it's not luck, it's the ball."
Min Congda thought for a minute and gave the answer, and it was an answer that many people couldn't think of.
When thinking about making adjustments, Min Congda starts from a spatial perspective.
The Lakers are crowded and powerful inside, so avoid them and attack from the outside.
But it's not just the Clippers who are doing this, many teams can think of it.
Last season's Finals Magic did the same, and the result was still a loss.
There are many reasons for losing, and the form, quality, and luck of the players account for a large part.
From a purely tactical point of view, is the Clippers' adjustment just space?
At this time, Bryant hit a three-pointer from the outside and made a three-point shot.
Then he made a defensive steal and assisted Atay to make a layup, chasing five points in a row.
Dunleavy called a timeout, and the playoffs are changing in an instant, and one careless will capsize.
After the timeout, Curry took advantage of the double screen to catch the ball and shot a three-point shot directly from the top of the arc.
Hit!
This goal was scored, and Curry scored his 20th point of the game!
He's not just a goalscorer, he's a good offensive starter with seven assists.
"That's right, it's the ball, Curry has the ability to digest the ball and attack independently."
"In the case that Randolph's important tactical node was canceled and Baron Davis could not assume the tactical core independently, Curry could digest the ball well, drive the whole team as an offensive initiation point, and pocket all the ball possession in the low post, and have a good offensive efficiency."
"20 points, seven assists, and tactical starts...... It's over, it's over..."
Min Congda suddenly discovered that Curry's performance after fine-tuning may not be just an ordinary star player.
He's still a rookie, he's still a kid, and he has this kind of ball digestion ability.
Isn't the future a proper direction for superstardom?
Min Congda is really not accurate in seeing people, and there is basically no prediction.
You have to wait for the other party to play before you can realize it.
Min Congda, who was aware of this problem, also comforted himself: "Don't worry, don't worry, didn't Fan Chen say it, Curry is not easy to cultivate, the projection is strong and the breakthrough is weak, the playoffs are not useful, and it is easy to get injured." This is just an outbreak, how can it be discussed? ”
Thinking about it like this, Min Congda felt much better.
Besides, the playoffs are about to be eliminated, and the superstars are fart.
Don't worry too much.
As Curry hit a three-pointer, Baron Davis forced to make a basket and make a layup.
The Lakers' hopes of tying the score were dashed, and the game time was dwindling little by little.
The difference between the two sides was never back to within 5 points, and the Clippers slowed down and held on.
The whole team fought hard with the Lakers in one breath, and finally there was still a minute left before the end of the game.
The Clippers 102-91, 11 points ahead of the Lakers.
Phil Jackson knew that there was no hope of chasing points, so he took a timeout and replaced the main man.
This meant that the game ended early, and the Clippers won the game to tie the overall score at 1:3!
When the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, the score was fixed at 105:96, a 9-point advantage.
The Clippers fans waved their white towels wildly and cheered for the Clippers' wonderful performance tonight.
The Clippers players are even more happy to dance with their hands, and it is a huge achievement to win against the defending champion Lakers.
This game of the Clippers has been sublimated, and the victory in the playoffs is really not comparable to the regular season.
Min Congda breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking that he had finally won, everyone was happy, and deducted my money!
The phone rang, the text message came in time, and $3,000 was swiped from the account.
Min Congda suddenly felt so distressed! $3,000! How many girls can you find.
"Forget it, seeing that everyone is so happy, I'll sacrifice a little...... Damn, why should I die? How much is my salary? How much do you get paid? It's so unfair! ”
The positive character, Min Congda, quickly returns to his original appearance under the corruption of money and jealousy.
He thought, this one win is so difficult, the next one is lost, and the season is over.
However, what Min Congda didn't expect was that two days later, the fifth battle between the two sides was still at the Stamp Center.
The Clippers played away and swept the Lakers with a 110:89, 21-point advantage!
Not only was he not eliminated from the competition, but he also pulled the big score to 2:3.
The floor at the Staples Center is about to be replaced by the Clippers again.
"I'm RNM, and I've lost another three thousand!"
