In the Clippers' locker room before the final game begins.

Steve Cole swiped the web nervously with his phone.

Mike Dunleavy paced to the side, "How's it going on in Dallas?" ”

"The Hornets led the Mavericks by two points at halftime...... Shet, the Mavericks aren't going to let the water out this time, are they? ”

Dunleavy said: "I don't know if the calf will release water, but we will definitely release water in this scene, and then let ourselves go!" ”

Cole said: "Otherwise, I'll talk to Mr. Smart that we can't release water this time." Although it is not a good idea to play the Lakers in the first round, it is better than not being able to make the playoffs. If that's the case, all our efforts will be in vain. ”

Kim Hughes said on the sidelines, "I don't think Mr. Smart will agree." Otherwise, we would have started as a substitute and if the game didn't go well, we could have been back in the squad. ”

Dunleavy shook his head and said, "You can't get out of such a player's state." And before the game, everyone knew that they didn't want to win this game, and suddenly told them that they were going to win in the middle of the game, and the players were not robots, so they couldn't win the ball! ”

"Mr. Smart is too risky to do this, we should still win this game and play the Lakers and play the Lakers. Last season we played the Lakers, just in time for revenge! ”

"That's right, the Los Angeles derby is again, the battle for revenge, there is no better script than this!"

Today is the last game day in the NBA, and all matchups will end today.

The Clippers and Grizzlies game takes place at half past seven p.m. Pacific Time.

It was an hour later than the game in Dallas.

So, at the start of the third quarter of the game between the Mavericks and the Hornets, the game between the Clippers and Grizzlies was almost at the beginning.

If the Mavericks beat the Hornets, then the Clippers won't care if they win or lose, and they will definitely enter the playoffs.

But at the end of the first half, the Hornets did their best to get into the playoffs and get a win in Dallas.

They led the Mavericks by two points at 60-58, and the situation was very serious for the Clippers.

Before the game began, Min Congda gave a death order, this one is only allowed to lose and not to win!

Even if they don't make the playoffs, they won't allow the Clippers to win, which is very confusing for both the coaching staff and the players.

The Clippers got off to a rocky start to the season and started to catch up in the middle of the season, with a winning streak that took the team to the playoffs.

The competition in the Western Conference playoffs is fierce, and the competition for a ranking in the regular season is even more fierce.

Last season, the Clippers won 50 wins to enter the playoffs, and the Celtics, who entered the Finals in the East, also had 50 wins.

Coaches like Dunleavy and Kerr don't understand, and neither do the players.

After a season of hard work, is it going to end like this, making wedding clothes for others?

However, Min Congda has extremely high authority in the team, and Dunleavy and others no longer dare to disobey him.

Only Steve Cole was still unconvinced, saying, "I'm going to Mr. Smart now and get him to change his mind." Although we agreed to play the Spurs at eighth, we can't end up making the playoffs just to end up in eighth! ”

"That's right, after the opening, we can change the main force as soon as possible, everyone will go all out and win, this is the safest!"

Cole was about to leave the locker room to look for Min Congda when the locker room door opened and Min Congda entered.

As soon as Min Congda entered the door, the players who were originally sitting there all stood up, and for a while, they were like giants.

The NBA locker rooms are built very large and tall to fit these giants.

Coaches such as Cole, Dunleavy and Kim Hughes are also big men of 1.9 meters and more than two meters.

Min Congda's height of 175 stood inside, like a child.

But his momentum is the most sufficient, and everyone is only looking at him.

Min Congda looked at the players, then at Dunleavy and Cole, and said, "What's wrong?" It's going to be a game in a while, and you haven't warmed up on the field yet, and you're still nesting in the locker room? Don't want to play anymore? Want to quit? Very good, that's what I want, you're going to retire. ”

Before the start of the game, the players should warm up on the field early.

After the warm-up, the opening ceremony was sung with the American national anthem, and then the game officially began.

This is a basic set of game flows.

But the opening ceremony will begin in 10 minutes.

The Clippers players didn't show up on the floor to warm up.

The fans at the scene, the official staff of the NBA, and the people from the TV station were all puzzled and anxious.

What happened to the guys of the Clippers? Why don't you come out to warm up?

Min Congda knew the reason, so he came to the locker room in person.

Cole stepped forward and said, "Mr. Smart, we should still try our best to win the last game." Winning this one will ensure that we are in the playoffs. ”

Min Congda said: "How did we formulate our previous strategy? How did I tell you? ”

"Our strategic goal is to play the Spurs in eighth place in the West, but if we lose this game and the Hornets win again, we won't even be able to make the playoffs!"

Cole dared to fight against Min Congda, this guy even dared to fight Jordan, and what did he dare not say.

Min Congda pursed his lips, and he said, "Steve Cole, Dunleavy, Kim Hughes, Lucas, stay." Others, go to the field, warm up. ”

As soon as Min Congda finished speaking, the Clippers players left the locker room one after another to warm up on the court.

The locker room was empty, leaving only Min Congda and Dunleavy and other five people, and the atmosphere suddenly became oppressive.

Ida originally followed Min Congda to the locker room, but at this time she also retreated and waited at the door.

Min Congda took a deep breath and suddenly shouted, "That's an order!" It's an order that we're going to make the playoffs as eighth! How can you ignore my orders! ”

"Has it come to this? The instructions I give to you, the coaching staff always have to disobey and deceive me! Thought I didn't hear it, I wanted to change the main force at the beginning and win the game, and you took my words as a deaf ear? ”

"I put together such a coaching staff, and then you guys want to gang up and cheat on me? Change my strategic intentions! You're all a bunch of liars! ”

The general manager's anger came suddenly, leaving Dunleavy and the others inexplicable, and at the same time very shocked.

Cole was shocked, he didn't expect Min Congda to lose such a big temper, he quickly explained: "Mr. Smart, are you serious?" We're all here to make the playoffs......"

"You're in the playoffs? Isn't everything I'm doing to make the playoffs? You all wear suits and leather shoes, and after playing on the court for a few years, you call yourself a basketball coach, and I can figure out all your tactics in a week! I don't think you can do anything other than call a timeout and change someone! I should be the coach of this person, what you do will only hold me back! Is it difficult for you to win, and it is not possible for you to lose? I should have Boss Sterling fire you all! ”

"I haven't played a single day of basketball, but I've taken the Clippers from the bottom to the playoffs in one season. And you, you didn't believe me from the beginning, you just wanted to see my jokes, you wanted to deceive and betray me. But all betrayals will be repaid with defeat! ”

Deng Leavy saw that Min Congda was emotional, and hurriedly said, "Smart, Smart, please calm down." ”

Min Congda said angrily: "My orders have been taken as a deaf ear!" It's the last minute, how do I lead the team in this situation! ”

The coaching staff was silent, although they all felt that Min Congda was making a bit of a fuss, but no one, including Steve Kerr, did not dare to raise the bar with Min Congda.

With Cole's temper, if it were someone else, he would have broken the tactical board and left, but Min Congda is really different.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the locker room, and Ida pushed the door in and said softly: "The third quarter of the game between the Mavericks and the Hornets began, and the Mavericks have overtaken the Hornets by 11 points, and they beat the Hornets 15:2." ”
