After hitting a free throw, Jimmy Butler helped the Clippers re-establish the lead in the second quarter.

The Thunder's attempts to turn the game around were temporarily suppressed.

Brooks yelled at the referee on the sidelines and picked up a technical foul.

Harden made a technical foul and hit a free throw, and the Clippers widened the gap even further.

Brooks could see that the referee's two penalties in that round just now made the situation unfavorable to the Thunder again.

If the referee blows for Butler's defensive foul, there will be no fast-break counterattack dunk, and there will be no 2+1.

Durant just came on the court and scored consecutive goals, and the two sides were tied again.

Okay now, six points behind, let's start chasing points again.

But at this point, the Clippers moved troops, Randolph came back inside, Curry replaced Harden, and Tyronn Lue didn't replace his lucky Jeremy Lin, but George.

George and Butler are teamed up in the backcourt, which is undoubtedly going to kill Durant.

Young players like Butler and George are not lacking in energy and a biting mentality.

Facing Durant, both of them are underdogs, you can shoot as you should, scoring champion.

But if I bite you and defend it, it's you Durant who will be ashamed.

The Clippers began to let Butler defend Durant alone and Paul George to assist in the defense.

Seflosha can put this point as long as you can, Swiss you can vote, whatever you want.

Suppressing Durant is the Clippers' number one priority.

Durant faced a double attack and was not decisive enough to shoot the ball.

The pass was wrong, and he was cut off by Curry again!

Curry countered with the ball, and George and Butler went down quickly.

Curry gave the ball to George on the left, and George gave a Neyser to Randolph.

Randolph catches the ball and makes an easy layup.

This defense, this fast attack, is called a smooth fight.

Min Congda's cerebral congestion came out, what kind of thing did this thunder fight?

Of course, the main thing is to blame the referee, it was supposed to be a draw, and two whistles changed the trend of the game!

The first half became very difficult for the Thunder.

However, a superstar like Durant is unlikely to be easily prevented.

He immediately changed his attack and stopped going to the ribs, which was too easy to trap.

High post, a simple screen, a wrap, a through ball to Ibaka, Ibaka easily cut under the basket and dunked.

Then Ibaka blocked George's layup in defense, the Thunder counterattacked, and Durant received the ball and hit a three-point shot directly!

The Thunder chased five points in a row, which is the way Durant is good at scoring, scoring points in chaos, like probing for things.

Curry immediately returned the color, and after a single block in the high position, he hit a three-point shot directly!

"Damn, throw a single block, is this TM still playing basketball? Basketball will be ruined sooner or later by your style of play! ”

Min Congda watched Durant and Curry throw three-pointers at each other, and sighed in his heart.

In the past, players were all three-pointers, and it wasn't that easy.

In one game, the whole team will shoot more than a dozen times.

You have to play open opportunities to try three-point opportunities.

Now it's okay, shoot three points on the counterattack, and throw three points when a single block goes out of the gap.

The Clippers are averaging the most three-point attempts per game in the league at 28.

Ten years ago, in 2002, the league had the most three-point shots in a single game with the Celtics with 23.

Because they have Antoine Walker, who throws eight three-pointers per game, he's really born in the wrong era.

He shot just 34 percent from the field and scored less than three of his eight throws.

Curry, who has the most three-point shots from the Clippers, averages 7.5 shots per game and shoots 45% from the field.

And 39% James Harden, who also throws six per game, the brothers make 13.5 three-point shots in a game.

That's more than the entire team of some teams in the NBA that are weak on three-point points right now.

But that doesn't mean the Clippers don't have mid-range jumpers.

Randolph, George, Gasol Jr., including Leonard and Butler in progress, all have mid-range ability.

George and Leonard, in particular, have improved their shooting to the naked eye.

Durant shot again from mid-range, hit, CS after receiving the ball at the top of the arc, unable to defend.

Turning around, George went around in a circle to receive Curry's pass and hit the mid-range shot!

The two sides fought back in the middle of the second quarter, and the score continued to climb.

The Clippers have always pressed the Thunder.

Durant is still difficult to defend, even if he is double-packed, Durant's shot and his strong pull can still be cracked.

But the problem for the Thunder is that the Clippers are more difficult to defend.

Because almost every point has the potential to erupt.

Defending the Thunder, as every team knows, the focus is on Durant, and the secondary focus is on Westbrook.

If others explode, you can't help it, but there is a high probability that it will not explode.

The Clippers, who can only be man-to-man, have a hard time finding defensive focus.

Main defense Curry? Randolph teaches to be human.

Main defense Randolph? Nick and Harden make you understand what spirituality is.

Main defense Harden? Jeremy Lin will step up.

Anyway, the Clippers are dangerous at every point.

The Thunder are a strong defensive team in the league, very pressing, and the individual defense ability at every position is above the level, and in theory, they are the best team in the league in man-to-man defense.

With such a strong defensive team, once the Clippers gradually accelerate and play in a state, they still can't stop it.

Towards the end of the second quarter, Butler remained on the court, he received a pass from Gasol Jr., shot a mid-range jumper in the bottom corner, and hit the whistle in 24 seconds!

Butler scored seven points in the second quarter and he was impressed on both ends of the floor tonight.

The Thunder had a last-ditch chance in the second quarter.

Durant missed a three-point shot from beyond the arc, and the first half ended.

The Clippers led the Thunder by seven points at 67-60, and the two sides went into halftime.

At halftime, Min Congda's expression was very depressed, why did even a player like Butler eat dumplings?

"The Clippers have a really special style of play, a very fluid offense, and a lot of talent on the bench. Honestly Smart, this Clippers style of play reminds me of the Portland Trail Blazers in 1977, a young, talented team. ”

Adam Silva was born in 1962 and was a New York Knicks fan as a child.

The Knicks had a brilliant experience in the early '70s, reaching three Finals and winning two championships, and are a top team that has gone down in NBA history.

But in the mid-to-late '70s, the Knicks were no longer good, and the NBA was dominant, but the game became very unsightly.

Because the style is too conservative, it is not as whimsical as the ABA next door, with super scorers like Irving, Thompson, and Gervin giving wonderful performances, and they also have the three-point line.

Fortunately, the ABA was swallowed up by the NBA due to poor operation, and Irving came to the NBA, leading the 76ers to the Finals in 1977 to face the Portland Trail Blazers, who had just entered the league.

The Trail Blazers were led by Wharton, who in the fourth year of his career, led a group of sophomores and first-year rookies to overturn the 76ers to win the championship after falling behind 0:2, creating the classic "Trail Blazers fever" in NBA history.

This championship is significant for the NBA and is a classic battle for collegiate basketball to defeat performance basketball.

In a sense, the 1977 Finals was actually a showdown between the ABA and the NBA on the basketball court.

The ABA forces, represented by Dr. J. Irving, lost the series in front of the NBA forces, proving to the world that the NBA is the orthodoxy of the basketball world.

Adam Silva was 16 years old that year, just as he was young, the Portland Trail Blazers won the championship, and the brilliant performance of the red-haired monster Bill Wharton left a deep impression on Silva.

To this day, Silva looks at the Los Angeles Clippers, a group of young people, plus the core center Gasol Jr., which is really similar to the Trail Blazers of the year.

A center who is good at passing the ball and playmaking, a group of young and talented young people, playing team basketball.

If they can win the championship, it will also mean far-reaching significance for Silva and mark the beginning of a new era.

Silva imagined that the Clippers could reach the Finals, and it would be best to face the Cavaliers and beat James, just like he did when he beat Irving, and let the old era come to an end, which was perfect!

Min Congda listened to Silva's words and thought to himself, why are you still cursing me?

As far as I'm a little broken ship, can I compare to the championship team?

Min Congda didn't want to talk to Silva about such a frustrating topic, and instead said, "Adam, can I eat popcorn?" ”

Silva shook her head, "No, you still don't eat it, don't eat it in the future." ”

"This is a free country, and you are hindering my freedom."

"There is a limit to freedom, by the way, you should think about the boss's business."

"Consider? How do I think that the boss can be if I want to be? ”

"I don't know, but Sterling listens to you so much, I think you'll have a way, right?"

Still, Silva shifted the conversation to the owner.

Min Congda fell silent, and to be honest, he was a little moved.

If he becomes a boss, even if it is a minority shareholder, he will have more resources at his disposal.

The more resources you have, the more you can spread the scale.

Like the Clippers building a new arena, Min Congda is working hard, and he is only a little eyebrow now.

If he is a shareholder of the team, he will mobilize other bosses and use all kinds of resources, and the speed will definitely be faster.

It's just another partner, who should he go to?

It can't be Ballmer anyway, this guy can't be too rich.

Are you looking for your fellow countryman Yao Ming? That's not good, if you want to go bankrupt in the future, won't you pit Da Yao?

It's best to find the kind with the attribute of the plague god, who has played in the NBA circle, and the money is not very much......

A name gradually came to Min Congda's mind.

Min Congda leaned into Adam Silva's ear and said a few words.

Silva looked at Min Congda and said, "However, he is now the owner of the NBA team, and it is impossible to buy the team again." Besides, if the Clippers change hands, there will definitely be more people who want to buy them, and the rich owners in Los Angeles will come in batches. Steve Ballmer is said to have been keen on the Clippers. ”

Min Congda definitely doesn't want Ballmer to take over, tens of billions of blood transfusions, when will he go bankrupt.

"I want to talk to him when I have a chance, can you arrange it? You also know his name, if you can talk about it, I have the means and the way to let Sterling sell the team. ”

Adam Silva was silent for a while, he thought about it seriously and said, "Okay, no problem, I'll arrange it." ”

The two sat in the audience and quietly touched to decide a far-reaching event in the NBA.

They had their own agendas and ideas, but in the end, they agreed on the same outcome.

Min needed better resources to help him complete his bankruptcy plan.

Sterling's pawn is obedient, but his energy is too small to help.

And in the past two years, he has made a lot of money, he hasn't done any work, he doesn't have to make any decisions, and Min Congda has held meetings for him, so it's not too comfortable.

It's not a bad thing for him to let him out at this time.

It's not good to do something else with so much money, so why do you want to go for it.

In the three years since Min Congda came to the United States, he has a general understanding of how this society works.

After the "bar fight" in the summer of '09 finally turned into an "anti-racism incident", he saw many things very thoroughly.

The game quickly entered the second half, and the Thunder still couldn't find a good way to deal with the Clippers in the third quarter.

Perkins will only become more and more useless, and in the playoffs, in the face of the Clippers' offensive strategy of large space, Perkins will be useless.

And Durant still has to face the endless attrition of the Clippers' young forward.

George, Leonard, and Butler take turns to put pressure on Durant on both ends of the floor.

Westbrook is the Thunder's most consistent point.

In the third quarter, it was he who took the lead in blowing the offensive horn.

His pull-up jump shot tonight was pretty accurate.

Kill into a zombie shot, and the hit rate is surprisingly high.

But the Clippers remained unfazed and continued to carry out their offensive strategy.

High passing, lots of running, empty cutting, and Harden and Curry's three-point heavy guns are waiting.

The Thunder were always pressed and beaten by the Clippers, and they couldn't find a point to turn over.

Compared to the beginning of the season, after most of the season, the biggest improvement of the Clippers is that their consistency has gradually improved.

It can be seen from the Clippers' ultra-long winning streak that they can cope with various situations and win the game steadily.

At the beginning of the season, the Clippers struggled to beat the Thunder, played overtime, and finally won the victory, which was very thrilling.

And in that game, Sefrosa was absent due to injury, and the Thunder lineup was incomplete.

In this game, the Thunder played with all the players and fought at home, but they were so pressed that they couldn't hold their heads up.

Throughout the third quarter, the Clippers continued to implement the strategy of wheel warfare, with George, Leonard, and Butler taking turns to serve Durant, causing a serious disconnect between Durant and the entire Thunder offense.

While he was still able to score on his individual prowess, he was out of touch with the Thunder's overall offense.

At the end of the third quarter, the Clippers led the Thunder by 11 points at 90-79.

On the Thunder bench, the players were sweating profusely and silent.

I can't beat it!

Durant scored 20 points in the third quarter, which is a good performance.

Another 10-pointer in the fourth quarter was an easy 30 points.

But the momentum of the game was firmly pinched in the hands of the Clippers.

By the time the fourth quarter began, Durant was back on the court.

Tyronn Lue's side sent a fourth player who single-handedly defended Durant - PJ Tucker!

Durant is destined to go through all the moves with the Clippers' No. 3 position today!

Some people died, but not completely......
