The first defeat came neatly, which made Min Congda very happy.

The unhappiness is that there is no salary for losing in the playoffs.

From the system's point of view, you're leading the team to the playoffs, and that's a failure.

You deserve to lose, and if you win, you'll be fined!

According to Min Congda's plan, the Clippers should win two games in this series.

In the end, the big score was 2:4 to the Thunder, the Thunder entered the Western Conference Finals, and the Clippers went home.

In this year's playoffs, Min Congda was deducted $18,000.

The penalty earned 20,000 and the offset earned $2,000.

"Oh my God, it's hard work, just make two thousand, it's not as happy as losing a game in the regular season."

"Forget it, I'm in control anyway! I'll just say it, the Clippers are not the Thunder's opponent! ”

In this game, Kevin Durant scored 29 points, Westbrook 25 points, and Gordon 20 points.

The three youngsters combined to score 74 points, and the youth triumvirate has begun to take shape.

On the Clippers' side, only Zach Randolph had a solid 22 points and 11 rebounds.

Anyway, Lan Fatzi has this output every game, and it is very difficult to expect him to break out and score 40 points to save the team.

Randolph is the bottom player of the Clippers, and the ceiling of the Clippers' real outbreak depends on Curry, Harden and others.

Young people are not used to the speed and intensity of the Thunder, and they are clearly ill-prepared.

The dull atmosphere in the dressing room after the game made Min Congda feel very comfortable.

He spent a few moments in the cramped away dressing room, enjoying the frustration of the defeat.

"I'm afraid I'm not a pervert, right? Why do I enjoy this low mood of negative energy? ”

"I see, it's a precursor to bankruptcy and rottenness, a smell of decline, a smell of corruption."

In just a few days, the players went from celebrating in the dressing room to saying nothing, and that's how brutal competitive sports are.

Min Congda's triumphant attitude was seen by the players as a kind of pretense of ease.

Anyway, every time he loses, Min Congda will spend more time with the players.

Curry thought to himself, "As soon as we lose, Mr. Smart will stay to comfort us, and if we win, he will leave." ”

George stopped dancing: "I was so bad tonight that I didn't make a difference. I wonder if Mr. Smart will be disappointed in me. ”

The person in the worst mood is James Harden.

He still has some feelings for the city, after all, it is the first team he played for.

Last year he was still cheering from the fans at this venue, and tonight it was mostly booing.

The faces of the fans have become faster than scumbags and scumbags.

Everyone's faces stinked tonight, only Min Congda was very normal and slightly relaxed.

Steve Cole couldn't help but ask Min Congda: "Smart, how did you manage to lose without looking sad?" ”

Min Congda said: "What is there to be sad about? The game is over, can sadness change the result? There is no turning back in competitive sports, you can only keep going. This is not a trial case, and if the case is lost today, go back and recollect evidence, and the case can be overturned in a retrial. There is no reversal of the basketball game, no replays, only the next game, understand? ”

"Of course I do, but... No one can do it like you..."

"I'm not human? I just can, because I have a long-term vision, very long-term~"

Min Congda pointed two fingers at his own eyes, and then at Cole's eyes.

"Guys! Prepare for the next one! Don't worry, the series is far from over, it's just beginning! ”

After saying this, Min Congda happily left the locker room and went back to the hotel to play games.

The Clippers players quickly came out of their slump, and losing was the norm anyway.

Those who will not accept defeat will not be able to gain a foothold in the alliance.

However, if there are successive failures, it is difficult to accept.

Two days later, on May 3, the Clippers and Thunder had a rematch.

For the Clippers, the importance of this game cannot be overstated.

They have to win this one, otherwise they will be too passive to go back to Los Angeles with a score of 0:2.

Therefore, from the first quarter of the game, the Clippers changed the decline of the first game and strengthened the offense.

Since the Thunder are faster than the Spurs, then I have to be faster than the Thunder.

The Clippers were running at high speed, using a lot of running and passing to attack the Thunder's defense.

The Thunder's defensive system is nowhere near as detail-oriented as the Spurs.

A lot of times it's just the talent and individual ability of the players to suppress it.

At high speed and high intensity, the lack of defensive detail gives the Clippers an opportunity.

Barang Davis used his playmaking skills to make passes, cut air, throw and assist.

He seems to have returned to the peak in 2007, and he single-handedly directed Ku Ding Xie Niu.

The relatively inexperienced Curry moved to the support position, using non-stop running to mobilize the opponent's defense.

The Clippers' offense was unusually flexible, which made the Thunder a little dizzy and unable to defend against it.

At halftime, the Clippers were 57-53 and led the Thunder by four points.

The Clippers played quite well in the first half, but Min Congda shook his head when he saw it.

He thought to himself: "The Clippers played too hard in the first half of the year and pushed too hard. If the move comes out too early, the state comes out too early, and it is easy to be counterattacked in the second half. ”

Min Congda, who lost the first game, calmed down a lot and saw the Clippers' problems at a glance.

Dunleavy and Kerr didn't really solve the Clippers' problems.

In the first round of the Spurs, young people used their imagination in the first half, and Baron Davis and Randolph ended in the second half.

It's a very comfortable pace and it makes good use of the strengths and characteristics of the players.

Therefore, the Spurs were stabbed through the heart.

Now, you have Randolph and Baron Davis attacking in the first half and the rest of the people are circling around them.

Can you fight like this for the whole time?

Except during the regular season, the idea is to build the team around Randolph Barang and then pair it with a bunch of quality role players.

But Curry, Harden and others are not role players, they are full of imagination, and this is not their rhythm of the game.

And they're young, inexperienced, and haven't learned to adjust themselves in the face of playoff adversity.

The good news is that the Thunder are also young.

The bad news is that the Thunder are at home, and they are on a hot third quarter.

Especially Kevin Durant.

Durant, who deliberately stayed in the first half, suddenly exerted force in the third quarter.

hit two chasing three-pointers in a row to overtake the score.

It's purely individual player individual ability.

In tonight's game, Durant made these two three-pointers.

And it was these two over-the-top three points that completely reversed the situation of the game.

The Clippers were once again panting behind the Thunder.

Harden and Curry can both score, but their efficiency has obviously dropped a lot.

The whole team fell into the same cycle as the previous game.

Backward, the main force is ruthless, the substitutes have no chance, there are few players, the main force has no feeling, more backward, more ruthless and the main force......

Mike Dunleavy seems to have forgotten all about the "everybody's got the ball" strategy that has been pursued all season.

He went back to the 2006 playoff six-man rotation.

The game was scorching, with Curry, Harden, and Randolph all scoring in quick succession.

But Durant, Westbrook, and Gordon can also respond.

The scores of the two sides alternated upwards, and the Clippers could never find a point to turn the game around.

With Ibaka giving the Clippers two consecutive big hats at key moments in the fourth quarter.

On the counter-attack, Gordon received a pass from Westbrook and scored a layup.

Thunder 109:103, 6 points advantage once again locked the win!

In Russia, the Thunder scored two cities in a row, leading 2:0!

Min Congda's mouth was about to laugh crookedly.
