Tyronn Lue did his job for the game – watching the game from start to finish, without moving his head at all.

Why use your brain, how is it not a kind of wisdom to hand over the command to the most talented person in the team?

For Min Congda's overstepping command, Tyronn Lu did not feel any discomfort psychologically, but felt quite comfortable.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the Lakers still did not give up resistance and still worked hard to chase points under the leadership of Kobe.

Bryant scored 31 points in the first three quarters, and this game feels like he is aiming for 40 points.

In the case of Paul being completely contained, theoretically relying on Kobe Bryant and Iguodala, the Lakers still have the strength to fight.

But in the fourth quarter, Kobe Bryant ushered in the exhaustion of physical energy, and he really couldn't move.

In the first three quarters, Bryant played a lot of singles, breakthroughs, and was constantly impacted by the Clippers' young forward in defense, and the physical consumption was huge.

Bryant also barely had much time to rest and stayed on the court all the time.

D'Antoni has been conservative in his squad rotation.

With one of his legs lame, D'Antoni was even more afraid to let Kobe Bryant rest off the court.

Kobe Bryant used to be an iron man, but now he is not.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, he hit consecutive irons, and the Clippers seized the opportunity to counterattack.

The whole team of the Clippers is still very physically energetic, and they simply can't run to death.

This is also a huge advantage for the Clippers, who are few teams that can match in terms of fitness and health.

Min Congda's "15-man rotation" has given the team great redundancy in health management.

The Clippers haven't had a major injury to any player this season, arguably the best in the league.

In the fourth quarter, Min Congda handed Tyronn Lue a note again, and the team used a lineup of "Leonard, Gasol Jr., Anthony Davis, Butler, Curry" that is extremely aggressive, and at the same time has good defensive aggression and solidity, to wrap up.

This is not to give the Lakers any chance, a wave of 8:1 attack waves, stretching the difference between the two sides to 20 points, and the game completely lost suspense.

D'Antoni knew there was no hope anymore and replaced Kobe Bryant, but Paul told D'Antoni that he wanted to play a little longer.

D'Antoni understands Paul's intentions, the data is too bad, let's talk less about brushing, right?

The game is almost over, and Paul's stats are 5 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds and 5 turnovers, which is too embarrassing.

In the last few minutes, it was easy to score a few more points and deliver two assists, turning his stats into 10 points and 10 assists, and he had two double-doubles.

It's not too embarrassing to look at the post-match data table this way, but it certainly doesn't have any impact on the outcome of the game.

At 127:103, the Clippers swept the Lakers at the Stamp Center, controlling the score throughout the game and not giving the opponent any chance.

At the end of the game, Min Congda breathed a long sigh of relief, but there was no sense of happiness in his heart to complete the task.

He had a hunch that after this game, the contradictions within the Lakers team would inevitably intensify.

However, the strength of the Clippers is indeed beyond his imagination.

It's really just where to play, and he executes his various strategies perfectly.

It reflects the players' strong tactical literacy and superb personal ability.

The Clippers have grown over the course of several seasons and have become the league's powerhouse.

Min Congda knew that the giant beast he had raised had already taken shape, and even he could not stop it.

Anyway, he has not invested in the construction of the team, and the Huawei Center project, which he had high hopes for, seems to be progressing smoothly so far.

China's speed is really not bragging, the project is progressing and changing almost every day, and he reports to Min Congda from time to time.

The CEOs of state-owned enterprises also invited Min Congda to dinner, how could Min Congda be in the mood to drink and eat.

Everything seems to be slipping into the inevitable abyss.

He stood up, and the hustle and bustle of the Staples Center could not wash away the loneliness and sadness in his heart.

Sad, four years of hard work, I want to change the disarmament and return to the field, 300 million US dollars, eternal peace.

As a result, a fierce beast was raised, and it was about to set off a bloody storm in the alliance.

However, the process and result of this game took the lead in setting off a bloody storm within the Lakers.

Chris Paul, who has just succeeded in seizing power, has been unanimously criticized by the media, fans and teammates for his poor performance in this game.

Before his boss seat was hot, Kobe Bryant took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack, and veterans like Ci Shiping in the team even asked for another meeting to decide the leadership of the team.

For a while, there was tension in the Lakers locker room after the game, as if as long as Kobe Bryant gave an order, the veterans would immediately take action to take down the tyrant Paul and restore Kobe.

However, Bryant made a very unexpected decision after the game, and in the locker room he said to his teammates: "Don't make a fuss, everyone have a good rest and prepare for the next game." ”

A simple sentence made the tense atmosphere in the dressing room disappear, and everyone's minds were pulled back to the game, discussing tactics and strategy for the next game.

At the post-game press conference, Kobe Bryant and Paul attended together, and Kobe Bryant said at the press conference, "Paul was frantically targeted by the Clippers tonight, and at this time I think my teammates have to step up and take responsibility." Everybody has a bad time, it's the NBA, it's a common thing, nobody can play super games all the time. There were times when I missed crazy shots, but my teammates never gave up their trust in me, and that's what has sustained me all the way to where I am today. ”

When Bryant said this, Paul sat on the side with a pair of big innocent eyes, like a little brother.

Obviously, Kobe Bryant didn't want to fight Paul, not because he wasn't competitive, but because he was too arrogant.

At 24, he was the second oldest on the team, and he would fight O'Neal for the MVP.

Now 34 years old, 10 years have passed, he has got everything he deserves, what are he fighting for?

The side of the Lakers management and the side of his teammates have already broken his heart, and he will not allow himself to fight for anything more.

The most important thing is that even if he wins the position that belongs to him, what can he do?

They lost, they lost badly, they lost and they couldn't fight back.

The whole season's hard work could be in vain, what if he grabbed a big spot, and how many years did he have left in his career?

Kobe Bryant had a feeling of discouragement, even after the press conference, Paul took the initiative to find Kobe, hoping that the two would reunite, Kobe Bryant did not say anything.

As for the management's explanation, Kobe Bryant didn't want to hear it, after the death of the old Bass, he felt that the people of the Bass family had nothing to talk about with him.

When the elder Bass was there, he almost treated Kobe Bryant like his own son.

But the younger generation of the Bass family did not treat Kobe as a brother, and always guarded against Kobe.

For example, in terms of equity distribution and future management commitments, the Bass family has not made any commitments to Kobe.

To put it simply, in the eyes of the Bass family, you Kobe Bryant is still a senior wage earner, and it is impossible to become a manager.

After all, Kobe's popularity is too high, and he has a lot of assets under his name, so it would be bad if one day his achievements were high and he threatened the status of the Bath family.

Moreover, in terms of contribution to the Lakers, Magic Johnson is still superior, after all, he came to the Lakers at the same time as the old Buss and was the number one contributor to the rise of the Lakers empire.

Therefore, Magic Johnson can buy 4.5% of the Lakers' shares and become a minority shareholder, and the status of the two is still different after all.

These things all stimulated Kobe Bryant and stimulated his proud nerves.

Coupled with the fight with Paul, he suddenly felt bored.

What's the point of continuing to fight like this here, staying up?

Los Angeles is about to change its flag, and it is about to become the world of the Clippers.

Kobe Bryant's hunch is not wrong, Los Angeles is changing, and this season is the turning point.

After the opening game, there was a lot of media hype about the match, and Paul's poor performance was made into a highlight reel that went online.

Fans voted, with some believing that Kobe Bryant was the answer for the Lakers, but a significant number believing that one game doesn't mean anything.

In the long run, the hope of the Lakers is still Paul, after all, in competitive sports, age is the biggest advantage.

No matter how strong Kobe Bryant is, the decline is already an established fact, and Paul's crotch pull is still a guarantee of combat power in the long run.

In short, the fans are arguing about this, and it can be seen that there are also disagreements among Lakers fans.

There is also a small group of fans who directly think, "I'm going to be a Clippers fan, forget it, the Clippers are too strong." ”

Winning honey is common in the field of sports, after all, in competitive sports, winners take all, and the worship of the strong and winners is natural.

At present, the Clippers are on the rise, and it is very likely to grow into a dynasty team, which belongs to the stage where the Warriors have not yet become evil dragons, and it is the time to attract fans.

Just one day apart, the Clippers rematch with the Lakers at home, this time the Clippers relaxed a lot and didn't go crazy against Paul like the last one.

Because Min Congda knows that the split within the Lakers is already an established fact, and it will be difficult to bridge between Kobe and Paul.

Maybe this summer, Lakers management will have to make a choice between the two.

At the same time, the prestige of the Bass family in Los Angeles and the control of the Lakers will also be loosened.

Next season will be the perfect time to dismantle the Buss family and create a new Laker.

By next year, the sympathetic effect of Bass Sr.'s death will gradually dissipate.

At the same time, the instability caused by the death of the elder Bass, and the infighting between siblings, will accelerate this instability.

In addition, the alliance will get in the way, and Min Congda will make a bad thing behind it, and everything will be in jeopardy for the Bass family.

In this case, what Min Congda needs to do is to let the Clippers kill the Lakers neatly, and the second is to be patient.

Acting too hastily and exerting too much pressure from the outside will unite the Bass family internally, and the fortress must be slowly decayed from the inside, and then with the help of external forces, it will be broken with one blow.

In the second game, the Clippers still didn't give the Lakers any chance, a general victory, 109:100, a 9-point advantage easily defeated the Lakers.

Curry scored a game-high 33 points in this game, and the Lakers were unable to deal with Curry's new offensive play.

With such a long range and such a strong spatial pull, the Clippers took out the ordinary one from their arsenal and defeated the Lakers.

Moreover, the Lakers also have a big weakness, which is their head coach D'Antoni.

De'Anthony was very good in the regular season, bringing something new to the Lakers, and he really had a hand in adjusting the offense.

But in the playoffs, D'Antoni lacked flexibility, especially in the rotation of the lineup, always eight people in rotation, and adding one more person seemed to kill him.

In his playoff series, there are basically no strange soldiers and strange tricks, and it is good to be able to use the cards in his hand well.

However, when the strength is weaker than the opponent, you must be able to make surprise moves.

That's why the Suns played so well in the regular season and never made it to the Finals in the series.

In addition to the difference in player strength, D'Antoni has a low chance of winning against old foxes like Jackson and Popovich.

He won Jackson twice because the overall strength of the Lakers was not good at that time, and even so, he was still dragged into a tie-break by the Lakers.

The Lakers are down 0-2 in the series, and they can't find any turnarounds, and the only thing they can do may be to win one or two games on their home court.

But the Clippers don't want to waste too much time in the series, and they will always be in Los Angeles anyway, so they should rest early.

In the third battle, the two sides fought quite fiercely, Kobe Bryant and Paul launched a resolute resistance, and the confrontation between the two sides was very strong.

The Clippers were also forced to the strongest form, and in the final moments, James Harden and George hit back-to-back three-pointers to help the Clippers lay the winning game - you don't know who the Clippers will step up to be the hero tonight, and the Clippers players themselves don't know.

At 96:90, the two sides played a high-intensity defensive battle, and the Clippers took a 3-0 lead in the series, and there was no suspense in the semifinals.

No team can come back from 0:3 down, and even if there will always be such an example in history, it will not be this year's Lakers.

The Lakers have lost the will to resist, in fact, after losing to the Mavericks 0:4 in the semifinals of the 2011 season, the Lakers with Kobe Bryant as the core have run out of gas.

Whether it is Paul or Iguodala in the future, it is just to delay his aging and death, the NBA trend is rolling forward, and there are always former kings who will disappear in the long river.

The Clippers didn't dwell too much in the semifinals, and the league was not too embarrassed to obviously control the court in the semifinals, and it was not interesting to control one more game in this series, and it didn't make much money.

In the fourth game, the Clippers defeated the Lakers 112-105 bloodlessly, easily defeated the Lakers with a big score of 4-0, and reached the Western Conference Finals for the third consecutive year.

At the end of Game 4, the Clippers players stepped forward to hug Kobe Bryant one by one, saluting the idol of a generation of basketball teenagers and saying goodbye, and see you next season.

Bryant also waved to the fans at the Staples Center, and another year passed in his career.

Now, he has been able to come to terms with his failures and has some thoughts about whether he wants to stay with the Lakers next season.

The end, sometimes, also means a new beginning.
