Chapter 234: Best Head Coach, swept to advance to the second round

If the first game can't see anything, soon the G2 of the two sides also started.

Clippers 105: 83 Spurs.

The Clippers led the Spurs 2-0.

After the Spurs lost this game, morale was already very low, and it can be seen that the strength of both sides is indeed here.

The era of the Spurs' GDP is over, and perhaps since Xiao Hua took office, the NBA has entered a new era.

These leaders of the old era have now fallen away with the times.

Then to San Anthony G3, although the Spurs wanted to fight to hold a home court, they still lost to the Clippers.

The Clippers cleanly walked away with the victory, and also with the Spurs' GDP era.

With a 3-0 lead in the first round, there is basically no hope of a comeback for Spurs fans.

Originally, the 0-3 reversal had never appeared in the history of the NBA, and at the same time, they had to black 7 if they wanted to turn the tables, so it would be too difficult under the double BUFF.

And the current Spurs are not the Spurs of the past, in fact, when the Spurs were still maintaining a high level in the first two seasons, it already made fans feel a little outrageous.

Now two or three seasons have passed, and it's actually the real Spurs now.

Parker and Ginobili have already declined significantly, and they are relying on Duncan to support them again, and Duncan will not have the strength to compete for the championship level without Duncan supporting this Spurs.

As a championship contender team this season, it is not too strange for the Clippers to play such a gap.

The news that the Clippers have a 3-0 lead over the Spurs has surprised people.

Although the Clippers have been rated as one of the three superpowers this season, they are still ranked behind the Cavaliers and Warriors in comparison.

The Cavaliers have the golden sign of James, and the Warriors also have the sign of the Splash Brothers.

The biggest sign of the Clippers is the coach Su Chen.

The influence of the coach on the team, in people's perception, no matter how powerful the coach is, is not as great as the superstar to improve the team, right?

But the Clippers are such a team, and the coach's improvement of the team is really so big.

This can be seen in the Timberwolves next door.

Last season, the Timberwolves under the leadership of Su Chen were directly at the level of sweeping the Grizzlies.

If you want to say that the Timberwolves this season are among the players, there is one less Lore Deng.

But now the Timberwolves and the Grizzlies are playing back and forth, although the big score is 2-1 ahead of the Grizzlies, but the Timberwolves have a win or rely on a whistle 3-pointer to turn the tables.

The Grizzlies basically have no change from last season's lineup, and the same opponent plays like this, it can only be said that Rivers and Su Chen are indeed different.

To say that the strength of this Clippers on paper can really be so much stronger than the Spurs?

Strong is to be strong, but not to the point of crushing.

But now that the Clippers are facing the Spurs, they can play a crushing game.

The Clippers lived up to the expectations of the outside world, and still played the strength of a super team, even better than the other two super teams.

The Cavaliers and Warriors are now 3-0 ahead, but their opponents don't have the intensity of the Spurs.

The Cavaliers' opponent is the Bucks, who don't have Antetokounmpo and Middleton, and they can make the playoffs purely by relying on the weak welfare of the East.

Although the Mavericks have a win rate of more than 60%, the team's core Nowitzki has slipped more than Duncan, and the other Mavericks' role players are not too good.

The 3-0 of these two teams is naturally not as valuable as the 3-0 of the Clippers against the Spurs.

Even if the Spurs' GDP is old, there are Leonard and Green who have gradually grown.

And the head coach of the Spurs can be said to be the top historical coach in history, and playing such a performance is enough to show the strength of the Clippers.

However, this kind of void is not interesting, and everyone is still looking forward to the fact that these three teams can play each other in a real way.

But the Warriors and Clippers are in first and second place respectively, and they obviously can't touch them in the second round.

If you want to see these three teams play each other, don't think about the first and second rounds.

The playoffs are going on intensely.

But at this time, the league has the results of an award coming out.

That's the best manager.

This season's best manager, in fact, is quite controversial.

The biggest controversy is still Kerr and Su Chen and Budenhozer, who should be given the best coach.

In terms of record alone, Kerr's Warriors are the first in the league.

Budenhozer took the Civilian Eagles to the first place in the East.

But this season is a bit special, and that is that it can't be counted purely by results.

The Clippers' regrouping, and then quickly rushing to second place in the West, is impossible to ignore.

The criteria for selection should not only be based on the results of the team, but also on how the coach has helped the team.

It's like the Heat Big Three has just been formed, or the Celtics Big Three has just been formed, so the best coach is Spo or Rivers?

It's as simple as that, then whoever is in the team of giants is the best coach and doesn't need to be selected at all.

And after the end of last season, there has been a voice.

That is, the league owes Su Chen a best coach.

Last season, Su Chen led the Timberwolves from a team outside the playoffs, not only rushing to the top of the record, but also breaking the opening winning streak.

In fact, the best coach last season should be Su Chen's.

At that time, when the league's coaches voted, everyone voted for Popovich out of human consideration.

If Popovich eliminated Su Chen in the playoffs, it wouldn't be much of a problem, and wouldn't there be anything wrong with not voting for a regular season brush?

But the problem is that Su Chen eliminated Popovich, and the score is quite big.

This is embarrassing for coaches across the league.

The labels of seniority, grouping, and xenophobia are all scolding of these coaches from the outside world.

Especially the coaches who have a good relationship with Popovich, they are scolded and ridiculed the most, after all, you don't have to think that they must have voted for Popovich.

In fact, even if you don't consider favors this season, you can not vote for Su Chen as the best coach.

It's okay if Cole doesn't lead the team to rise enough, and the changes that Budenhozer has brought to the team with the team's results are no problem with winning this best coach.

The Clippers originally passed the All-Star break, and they began to take a large number of rotations, and their record was not as good as the Hawks.

But the biggest problem is.

Whether it's Kerr or Budenholzer, they are both Spurs coaches and belong to Popovich's disciples.

After playing last season, their Spurs coaches, who voted for Popovich, were ridiculed by the fans.

If you really want to vote, you can only vote for Budenhozer.

Budenholzer was said to fight Su Chen, and the knights obviously couldn't beat it.

If the eagle was eliminated by the knights, Su Chen rushed out of the west all the way, and then eliminated the knights.

The coaches who voted for Budenhozer will have another season of long scolding in the offseason.

There are even coaches who go to the supermarket at night to buy something and are recognized by their fans who taunt 'this is our great xx shady coach'.

It's really Su Chen's story that is too legendary, which makes the number of his fans skyrocket.

Last season was equivalent to hacking Su Chen as the best coach, even this season, Budenholzer should actually be the best coach, but now voting has made many people hesitate.

Budenholzer is another Spurs coach, and if he votes for him again, it may cause Su Chen's fans to lead the rhythm and make some passers-by disgusted with them.

If Su Chen didn't win the championship this season, it would be okay if he won the championship, and they would be ridiculed again.

With the Clippers facing the Spurs in the first round, it is not surprising that the Clippers really won the championship.

After all, in the past two seasons, everyone didn't believe that Su Chen could win the championship, didn't Su Chen also get two?

The results of the 2014~2015 season of the best coach of the season voting came out, which also made many people pay attention to it for the first time.

2014~2015 Best Coach of the Season: Su Chen!

By the time people see it, the results have already been announced.

This result is well deserved.

Last season, Su Chen took the Timberwolves no worse than the current Hawks, but the best coach was hacked.

In fact, this season, Su Chen led the rebuilt Clippers to second place in the West, and it was still a super team, which was really no worse than Budenhozer.

If you really let the Hawks meet the Clippers in the playoffs, if you don't sweep the Hawks, the Hawks can pounce.

Not to mention passers-by, even Hawks fans don't have too many objections when they see this result.

If this award is announced before the playoffs have even begun, there may be many Hawks fans who want to question it.

But when they saw the Clippers easily clean up the Spurs 3-0, Hawks fans didn't dare to argue more.

Facing the Heat, who are eighth in the East without James, the Hawks are now only 2-1.

And when he was in G3, he was almost overturned by the old Wade.

Because of the best coach to provoke Clippers fans and Su Chen fans, if Su Chen takes the Clippers to win the championship, they will not be ridden one by one.

This result came out, not only the fans felt that it was well deserved.

Even the coaches who participated in this poll were relieved by the result.

Especially some of them were originally Spurs coaches, or coaches who had a good relationship with Budenhozer, and it was easy to see that Su Chen was the best coach.

They were scolded enough last season, and they don't want to be scolded again this season.

As for Su Chen himself, after the staff told him that he had won this award, Su Chen did not react very much.

In the end, this is just a name.

There is no real benefit, not even a single draw.

The current goal is to work hard for the championship.

San Antonio.

AT&T Center Arena.

The Spurs fans were still full tonight, even though the Spurs were 3-0 down and still in seventh place.

When it comes to a turnaround, even Spurs fans don't expect too much.

But no matter what, the Spurs, as a veteran powerhouse for so many years, still have the pride of an old powerhouse.

They don't want to be swept away.

The fans who came to cheer for the home team tonight still want the Spurs to get a game.

For this old Spurs, fans are actually relatively tolerant, after all, this GDP has brought too much honor to the city.

Even when they were swept in the nineties, Spurs fans were relatively tolerant.

Unlike Knicks fans, there is a tradition of booing the home team at every turn.

Su Chen also entered the court at this time.

He started his career as head coach from this arena, and from next season, the Spurs' GDP will be marginalized and then retired.

But Popovich will stick with this team.

"Don't take each other lightly, you guys have to be more focused and let's end this series in this one."

When cheering up before the game, Su Chen said loudly to the players.

Either way, giving it your all is the best way to respect this Spurs.

At the same time, don't let this kind of experienced veteran powerhouse play tough, just don't let the Spurs slow down and directly press them out in a wave.

Soon the game began.

Spurs starting lineup: Thiago Split (C), Tim Duncan (PF), Kawhi Leonard (SF), Danny Green (SG), Tony Parker (PG)

Clippers starting lineup: Nikola Jokic (C), Nicolas Batum (PF), Jeff Green (SF), Paul George (SG), Damian Lillard (PG)

There were no changes to the starting line-ups for either side.

The Clippers' lineup does not need to change, after all, the Clippers have won three games in a row by relying on this lineup, so why change if they don't lose?

As for the Spurs, it is because there is no exchange.

Hard power is like that, and Popovich doesn't have much to maneuver.

At the beginning of this game, the Spurs cooperated and once took the lead.

This made the Spurs fans at the scene very excited, and the Spurs showed the same strength as the Spurs ten years ago.

But the likeness is really just the likeness.

Su Chen paused, readjusted, and immediately the Clippers found their form again.

The Clippers' slow opening did not continue to slow up.

As soon as the intensity was raised, the Spurs' original smooth offense at the beginning returned to the rhythm of the past game.

Although Popovich also made adjustments, and the tenacity of the Spurs players as a whole, they were able to chase the score back again.

But in the final two minutes, the Spurs still didn't continue their tenacity.

The Clippers still have an advantage in a higher gear.

The combination of Jokic and Lillard is simply a weapon to break the scoring drought.

In the past, GDP would step up and break the team's scoring drought.

But even if Parker and Ginobili wanted to stand up, they didn't have that strength.

Duncan didn't step up again in crunch time this game.

The game is over.

Spurs 79:82 Clippers.

In this defensive battle, it was the Clippers who broke through the defensive wall and successfully won this series.

However, the Spurs have won respect for this fight so far.
