George really impressed James with this game.

2 points, basically no contribution on the offensive end, and 40 points on the defensive end.

The big words before the game are considered to give yourself a mouth.

And after the game, he comforted himself and James to score 42 points?

This spirit of self-entertainment and self-deprecation has won Min Congda's heart.

Originally, watching George play better and better, Min Congda also felt that he had picked the wrong person.

After this game, Min Congda was impressed by George.

This is a big husband who can bend and stretch, and leaving him in the future may not be able to help rot.

George, who was slapped in the face for saying big things, was originally very disappointed, but he didn't expect Min Congda not only not to laugh at him, but also patted him on the shoulder to comfort him: "I think that Cook and Kobe Bryant also scored 83 points, and you can score 42 points with James, and you still have a long way to go in the future." Hit the lad well, it's just a small bump in your Clippers career, look ahead. ”

When Min Congda said this, George's heart felt a lot better.

I have more confidence in my future career with the Clippers.

Confidence is very, very important for newcomers.

There are a lot of talented young players who can ruin their confidence in basketball because of a game, or even a ball.

Some young people are beaten by the opponent in a certain game and are blocked, and he may completely lose his enthusiasm and belief in basketball, and he will completely degenerate from then on.

Like Milicic, his talent may not be that high, but if he is not hit and tortured like crazy by Larry Brown in the Pistons, but cultivates well, he will not become a complete blue-collar worker.

George was ravaged by a big word, but he didn't lose his confidence in basketball because of Min Congda's tolerance.

Of course, this kid's character is to forget the pain when the scar is good, and he will still say it next time it's time to say something big.

After losing to the Cavaliers, it did not affect the Clippers' ranking in the West, which is still in eighth place.

For the Clippers, losing and ending the winning streak is not necessarily a bad thing.

When wins accumulate in the build-up, winning later in the game is no longer a motivation, but becomes a pressure.

This kind of pressure comes from oneself, wanting to continue the winning streak, wanting to win and being afraid of losing, and lacking desire to win.

It also comes from the opponent, whose opponent sees that you have won so many games and is in the hot and headline, so it is natural to finish you to show your muscles and improve the morale of the team.

After the Cavaliers finished the Clippers, the Clevelands jumped to the top spot in the East.

James is also at the top of the MVP list, and the likelihood of a three-time MVP is getting higher and higher.

Of course, for James, the MVP is just as stressful as the winning streak.

If he continues to win the MVP this year but doesn't win the championship, then he will be the first player to win the MVP three times without a championship, which is simply embarrassing.

Now that the Clippers have lost the game, the players can unload their psychological baggage, travel lightly, and continue to deal with the rest of the game.

And it's time to prepare for the playoffs.

The day after the Cavaliers, the Clippers immediately faced the visiting Phoenix Suns at home.

The Suns tossed around for a season, traded back and forth, and didn't make much of a name for themselves when they arrived.

I tried Tekoglu and I couldn't do it, so I sent it away and got Carter.

Carter's significance is that even if the results are not good, he can increase his box office revenue.

Hickson, who was traded from the Cavaliers, couldn't have become a small Si.

At least he has the ability to eat cakes, and his score has risen under the leadership of Nash.

With Nash around, the Suns can still brace up a bit and play some good games.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is not much fuel in the Nash tank.

In tonight's matchup of three generations of old, middle-aged and young point guards, Nash's performance was bright enough.

When his teammates didn't have a strong scoring point, Nash was an assist and a scooter on the offensive end.

He scored on a large number of shots, but also organized the attack and passed the ball to help his teammates score.

The whole Clippers team was quite weak because of back-to-back, and only Curry, who played mediocre in the last game, was a pillar of optimism.

In the second and third quarters, he opened up a scoring spurt with Nash, hitting back-to-back three-pointers from the outside.

The two sides played to a critical moment in the fourth quarter, and the Clippers' defense suddenly strengthened.

George, who only scored 2 points in the last game and lost face, made one steal and one block.

Then assist Curry on a fast-break counterattack, and Curry hit a three-point shot from the outside!

The Suns, who had been stretched for a whole game, collapsed at the last moment and were beaten 7-0 by the Clippers.

The clipper slowly and leisurely spent three and a half quarters with the sun, and the end suddenly exerted force to carry the sun away.

This way of playing is a typical strong team rhythm.

It's not because I can't beat you in front of you.

It's about saving energy, and winning you by 20 points is the same as winning you by 5 points.

It's too hard to win 20 points, so it's better to have a back and forth in front of you and give some wonderful performances to the fans.

When it comes to the critical moment, the defense is strengthened, the offense is accelerated, and the individual ability is highlighted, and you will be taken away.

Through this period of experience and running-in, the team's strong team style has become more and more prominent.

Min Congda didn't realize this, he was very perceptive, but he didn't have enough experience.

He just felt that it was a pity that Nash had gone all out to score 23 points and hand out 13 assists.

Still not as good as the Clippers' backcourt firepower, Curry scored 28 points and Baron Davis scored 22 points.

The two of them scored 50 points together.

Baron Davies' form and stats have picked up markedly this season.

He averaged only 14.5 points per game last season, but this season he has averaged 17.8 points per game.

Since the beginning of the 2008-2009 season, Davis has left the Warriors and joined the Clippers on a precipitous decline.

From an All-Star level of 21.8 points per game last season, it suddenly dropped to only 14.9 points.

The shooting percentage has dropped to a terrible low of 37%.

He was affected by injuries and the flowery world of his hometown.

Min Congda's arrival was originally intended to bring Davis even more depraved.

Who knew that the arrival of young people, the Clippers were full of competitive flavor, and let Davis's basketball fire rekindle.

In the competition with Curry and Harden, he was not far behind, practiced hard in the summer, and reduced the number of martial arts with Min Congda during the season.

During this month-and-a-half-long road trip, Min Congda and Barang Davis were not available to go to nightclubs.

After returning to Los Angeles, the two did not go to Santa Barbara to play again, as if suddenly everyone had quit.

After all, the moment Harden's mother rushed into the nightclub, it left an indelible shadow on the young Clippers.

Unknowingly, Min Congda hasn't been looking for a woman for a long time.

At 111:103, the Clippers won the Suns at home.

Barang Davis was named Player of the Match with 22 points and 10 assists.

At the age of 32, Davis's flame of rebuilding the team's glory has been ignited.

Because before the game, Dunleavy revealed the team's strategic goals to the players.

"Mr. Smart said that our goal is to make the playoffs as eighth and pick the opponent, the San Antonio Spurs."

It turns out that Mr. Smart wants to black eight, this thing, Barang Davis is familiar with it.
