Chapter 347: The World Becomes Too Fast (Part 2)
Barang Davis is definitely a point that Min Congda overlooks.
A huge blind spot.
Originally, he was the head of the Clippers' wine-colored wealth, and was considered by Min Congda to be the source of the Clippers' depravity.
As the head snake of Los Angeles, I have the responsibility and obligation to lead the team to the young people.
In the beginning, Barang Davis did just that, and he didn't have much to pursue on the court because he wasn't short of money.
The championship dream in my heart was gradually worn out in the failure year after year, the tossing and turning of various teams, and the decline in physical condition.
He traded to the Clippers, and he himself had a pension mentality.
After executing the last big contract in his hometown, he will sign another one if he has the opportunity, and retire if he doesn't have the opportunity.
Barang Davis doesn't really want to go to a strong team for a championship, that's not his style.
And the characteristics of his style of play dictate that when he slips, it is difficult to make that kind of plug-and-play microwave oven in other teams.
He needs the ball, he needs stage lighting, he needs to design some tactics around him.
After coming to the clippers, Captain Brand jumped off the ship and made a precipitous slide of his own.
Baron Davis thinks the rest of the days are just a casual mess.
Anyway, he also returned to his hometown, and he played professional basketball for 10 years.
Walking down the streets of my childhood, everyone knew him and knew him as Baron Davis.
The family is living a good life, and he doesn't have to worry about money after retiring, he has a lot to do.
He knows a lot of friends in Hollywood, can go to filming, can participate in variety shows.
He has a place in the fashion circle, he is a hipster, and he can be a hipster brand.
This season he became friends with Kanye West, and maybe he could make it to the music industry.
He's only 32 years old, and as a basketball player, he may have entered a period of decline.
But as an ordinary person, his golden age has just begun.
In the eyes of fans, his basketball career has been ruined and is coming to an end.
In his own eyes, the beautiful phase of his life had just begun, full of light.
However, the appearance of two people changed Baran Davis's mind.
One is last year's No. 1 pick, Stephen Curry.
Curry's rapid growth has robbed Davis of the ball.
But Barang Davis didn't contradict Curry because of this.
Instead, he admired Curry, who inspired him on that cold Minnesota night.
In the eyes of fans, it may be a legacy, but Davis soon found himself not old enough.
Curry's passion for basketball, as well as his energy on the court, fueled Baron Davis' passion for basketball.
The two developed a healthy rivalry, and the good atmosphere within the Clippers became a catalyst.
Barang Davis lost weight and recovered last summer just to be better on the field.
Curry had surgery for an injury this season, and Davis regained the responsibility of the team's offensive organization.
Although the team's record is not particularly good, it has not plummeted, but bitten.
It has created the basic conditions for a resurgence in the second half of the season.
The second person to change him was Steve Kerr.
Barang Davis thought that Kerr's arrival would completely establish Curry's central position.
Unexpectedly, Kerr did not forget Baron Davis, but designed a lot of new tactics for him.
Davis feels freer on the court, he can go more and use more of the techniques he used to know.
Go to the low post, go to the bottom corner, go to 45 degrees, and his talent is re-energized.
Many people think that Curry's comeback has brought the Clippers back on the road, but they are only half right.
Curry's comeback also freed up Baron Davis, whose style of play and position did not overlap with Curry's.
Under Cole's tutelage, they have become very complementary and can promote and help each other.
By the playoffs, the familiar eighth, Barang Davis felt his energy all be pumped up.
In the first half, the young people bombarded indiscriminately, stretching the difference to 15 points.
In the second half, the Spurs are sure to set off a wave of counterattacks, so they need an experienced veteran like him to press the lineup!
The Spurs' offense did start to revive in the second half, and Parker Duncan's pick-and-roll was a weapon for them to tear apart the Clippers' defense.
A block high in the arc, Duncan cut inside, and Parker made a precise ground-hitting pass to Duncan.
Duncan catches the ball and the little man makes a three-step layup!
The goal went in, but it was clear that Duncan's steps were really heavy.
In the past, this ball was a one-handed slam dunk.
This time it was indeed a normal layup that Duncan rarely used.
Dunleavy saw the ball and yelled on the sidelines: "Go back, go back!" ”
The inside retreat was not resolute enough, giving Duncan a chance.
Then, Curry was hit by a bag error when he got to the basket.
On the counter-attack, Parker distributed the ball to Jefferson in the bottom right corner.
Jefferson catches the ball, makes a three-point shot, and hits again!
Corner three-pointer in a quick counterattack.
The Spurs relied on this trick to widen the gap with their opponents in the regular season.
The Spurs scored back-to-back points to narrow the gap to 10 points.
The morale-boosting Spurs then almost defended the Clippers for 24 seconds.
Finally, the ball was given to Davis and he forced a mid-range shot!
Barang's steady mid-range pull-up has become an important offensive weapon for the Clippers.
Then, the Spurs blocked again, still Duncan and Parker, or inside.
This time, the Clippers sank into place, and Parker didn't have a chance to stuff it in.
He chose to break through to the basket with the ball and make a layup and throw it away.
Parker had a wound on his left foot, which was covered in a white bandage.
He had a terrible shooting percentage in the first half.
This layup was his first athletic score.
Then, Barang Davis and Randolph blocked and cooperated.
Getting to the basket is also a light layup.
Duncan's awareness of making up the defense is very timely, but his legs and feet can't keep up.
Another block from Parker and Duncan, the Spurs really have no other way than this move.
The Clippers are still sinking and following, Parker wants to shoot from mid-range, think about it or forget it.
If you can't shoot, pass it, give it to Jefferson, Jefferson catches the ball and breaks through, and then passes.
Repeatedly pulling the Clippers' defense, finally pulling out space at the bottom.
Parker slipped to the basket and received a pass from Duncan for a layup!
The Spurs' offense is getting more and more fluid, but the defense can't prevent it!
Barang Davis receives the ball in the low post and suddenly a beautiful through ball is given to the basket.
Randolph catches the ball, pushes the defender away, and makes a left-handed layup!
Both sides go back and forth to score, which is a big disadvantage for the Spurs.
You're 15 points behind, so you're one goal and I'm one goal, how can you chase points?
Of course, Popovich knows this, and with such a big point difference, he must suppress the Clippers on the defensive end.
But Popovich, who is missing two generals, really has no cards to play.
He could only continue to play the offensive card, replacing Juan Blair early in the third quarter.
Count on Blair's dynamism to muddy the waters on the offensive end.
The Spurs, who used to play the most regular and orderly game.
Reduced to relying on a stocky interior to muddy the waters on the offensive end.
It's lamentable that the world has changed too fast, and the NBA regular season and playoffs have changed too much.
Some people died, but not completely......
