Chapter 175: A Poor Team Can Be Expected
Chapter 175 A bad team can be expected (second update)
After losing to the Jazz, the Clippers' record reached 25 wins and 24 losses.
Although the winning rate is still over 50%, it is only ranked 11th in the Western Conference, and is further and further away from the playoffs.
This result can even rank sixth in the Eastern Conference, which makes Min Congda lucky that the Clippers are in the powerful Western Conference instead of the low-hanging Eastern Conference.
This situation of crotch pulling in the east has been alleviated in recent years.
Earlier, in the first few years of the 21st century, the Eastern Conference ranked first in the division but could not even make it into the top four in the Western Conference.
In other words, if you go from No. 1 in the Eastern Conference to the Western Conference in the playoffs, you won't have a home court advantage.
At that time, when teams from the Western Conference went to play away games in the Eastern Conference, they didn’t call them games, they called them trips.
The competition within the Western Conference teams has become increasingly fierce, especially in recent years as the Lakers robbed Gasol, which has brought the Western Conference arms race to a peak.
In the 2007-2008 season, the eighth-place Nuggets in the Western Conference had a record of 50 wins and 32 losses!
What is this concept? In the 2002-2003 season, the Pistons were ranked first in the Eastern Conference with this result.
The Spanish golden boy was able to land in the NBA early and fight under Nelson, a mad scientist.
Boys with similar names usually use Steve, such as Steve Kerr and Steve Nash.
With a record of 50 wins, in the 2007-2008 Eastern Conference season, it would be able to finish fourth in the Eastern Conference and enter the top half.
Min Congda, who had suffered a lot from his recent investment in the team, decided to go with the team to Auckland, hoping that following the team could heal his wounded heart.
The Warriors' starting lineup is Rubio, Monta Ellis, Anthony Tolliver, Anthony Morrow, plus Biedrins.
Based on this, combined with the Clippers' current record of 25 wins and 24 losses, plus the difficulty of the upcoming schedule.
Curry chose to fight back with his performance on the court.
Although his appearance and temperament are very similar to the league's super scorer, Pete Maravich, nicknamed Pistol.
Curry used Steph, who was originally small, baby-faced, and lacked some masculinity in appearance.
Coupled with his handsome and cute appearance, and the youthfulness and sunshine of a Spanish boy, he quickly won the love of fans in the Bay Area, making Warriors fans forget the regret of missing Curry.
Ranked at the bottom of the Western Conference, there is absolutely no hope for the playoffs.
From ancient times to the present, calling men a pussy has always been a good way of stimulating them.
Sure enough, as soon as the game started, the Clippers took advantage of the inside and scored consecutively.
However, Rubio has thrived in the Warriors, and his style of play fits well with Monta Ellis.
A player like him who is neither three nor four has a particularly awkward position in this era.
Defending Randolph is Tolliver, who is 2.03 meters tall. He is called a power forward, but he actually has the physique of a small forward.
At 7 p.m., Oracle Arena, a battle with the Warriors.
Anyway, the team's record this year is like this, it doesn't matter whether we win or not, just have fun.
Before the game started, some fans at the scene held a slogan, "We have Richie, we no longer need the girl Steph."
In a weird team like the Warriors, he took the starting power forward position and became the team's main force.
Facing a low-post beast like Randolph, Tolliver was like paper on the defensive end.
This starting lineup is a typical big one and four small ones. If Nelson uses this lineup to play against the Clippers, who have two big men inside, it will be life-threatening.
The ups and downs of the shopping mall made Min Congda feel unbearable, so he felt more comfortable getting along with relatively simple athletes.
Of course, Rubio's talent on the offensive end is obvious. His passing and vision are first-rate and full of spirituality.
The Warriors selected golden boy Rubio with the seventh overall pick in the draft.
Some fans will use his name to joke, saying that he is just a girl, just like Zhuge Liang gave Sima Yi women's clothes.
Those of you who are not trivial will be eaten alive when facing such top power forwards, and your talents will not be used at all.
But if he can produce such data, it's enough to survive in the league, so he doesn't have to worry about his next contract.
However, there is really no similarity between the two in their playing styles. Old Nelson also murmured in his heart, it would be great if this guy could have shooting ability like Maravich.
Proper and high-quality rotation data, of course there must be moisture in it.
Curry continued to start this game and faced off against Ricky Rubio.
It's a pity that they can't win. The Warriors' record this season is only a pitiful 15 wins and 45 losses.
Needless to say, this season, we need to achieve around 50 wins to qualify for the playoffs.
If they were angry with the fans, NBA players would be angry to death.
Curry just smiled when he looked at these slogans. He didn't want to argue with the fans. Similar slogans will appear in every away game.
Last season, the Western Conference reached the playoffs with 49 wins, which was also fourth in the Eastern Conference.
On February 10, one day after the game against the Jazz, the Clippers played back-to-back games and went to Oakland to face the Golden State Warriors away from home.
Rubio is good at organization and rapid advancement, shooting is his weakness, and his personal offensive ability is average.
Nelson is good at using defenders and developed a series of tactical systems that emphasize offense and light defense.
Under Nelson's fast, non-defensive offensive system, his statistics soared. From averaging two or three points and two or three rebounds per game, he suddenly jumped to averaging 12 points and 7 rebounds per game.
Even if Beasley is like this, it will be even more difficult for someone like Anthony Tolliver to survive in the NBA.
At the beginning of the first quarter, Randolph continued to attack in the low post. The Warriors did not double-team, allowing Randolph to attack Tolliver alone.
Curry vs. Rubio is the focus of this game.
Beasley is as talented as the No. 2 pick in 2008, but his performance has been tepid. He averaged 13 points per game in his rookie season and now 14 points. He does not have the talent-crushing performance he had in college.
He was already on the verge of elimination, but was spotted by Nelson, and the Warriors signed him to a short contract.
They often shine in the NCAA league, but once they enter the high-level league, they will find that they are too slow at three and too short at four.
It will be very difficult for the Clippers to break into the playoffs.
Negotiations were quickly held with Rubio's old club to resolve his contract issue.
The name Stephen is unisex, but in most cases, girls use it slightly more.
The NBA has entered the era of super power forwards in the interior since the 21st century. Duncan, Garnett, Webb, Nowitzki and others are all center-level in height and strength, can play at the fourth position, and even have the speed of the three position.
The undrafted player in 2007 bounced around many teams including the Cavaliers, Spurs, and Hornets, but was never reused.
In a league where defense wins championships, his forward-thinking ideas make his team unique in the league.
He hit four goals in a row on his head, fully demonstrating Randolph's rich offensive skills and soft touch.
Watching Tolliver being beaten to a pulp by Randolph, he looked helpless.
Min Congda, who was watching the game from the sidelines, confirmed the 2K10 selection strategy he had originally formulated.
"In the future, when selecting players, you must choose this kind of small forward who is over 2 meters tall and neither three nor four. If you put a bunch of them together, you can expect a bad team."
