I was determined to be bad, but I went straight to the Basketball Hall of Fame

Chapter 175 The bad team can be expected (second update)

After the Clippers lost to the Jazz, their record came to 25 wins and 24 losses.

Even though the winning rate still exceeds 50.00%, they can only rank 11th in the West, and they are getting farther and farther away from the playoffs.

And this result can even rank sixth in the East, which makes Min Congda fortunate that the Clippers are in the powerful West, not the hip-stretching East.

The hip-pull situation in the east has eased in recent years.

Earlier, in the first few years of the 21st century, the eastern cuisine was unable to enter the top four in the western region.

In other words, if the number one in the Eastern Conference goes to the Western Conference to play in the playoffs, there will be no home court advantage.

At that time, the Western teams went to the East to play away games. They were not called games, but travel.

However, the competition within the western team has become more and more fierce, especially in recent years, with the Lakers robbing Gasol, the arms race in the western part has reached a peak.

In the 2007-2008 season, the eighth Nuggets in the Western Conference had a record of 50 wins and 32 losses!
What is this concept? In the 2002-2003 season, the No. [-] Pistons in the Eastern Conference achieved this result.

With a record of 50 wins, put it in the Eastern Conference in the 2007-2008 season, and can get fourth in the Eastern Conference and enter the upper half.

Last season, the West scored 49 wins in the playoffs, and it was also fourth in the East.

Needless to say, this season, it takes about 50 wins to get a ticket to the playoffs.

Based on this, combined with the current Clippers' record of 25 wins and 24 losses, plus the difficulty of the upcoming schedule.

It is very difficult for the Clippers to break into the playoffs.

On February 2, the day after the game against the Jazz, the Clippers played back-to-back games and traveled to Oakland to face the Golden State Warriors.

Min Congda, who has suffered a lot from team investment recently, decided to travel with the team and went to Oakland together, hoping to heal his wounded soul with the team.

The ups and downs of the shopping mall made Min Congda feel unbearable, but it was more comfortable to get along with relatively innocent athletes.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Oracle Arena, a battle with the Warriors.

Curry vs Rubio is the focus of this game.

The Warriors won the golden boy Rubio with the seventh overall pick in the draft.

He quickly negotiated with Rubio's old club and resolved his contract issue.

The Spanish golden boy was able to land in the NBA early and fight under the old mad scientist Nelson.

Old Nelson is good at using defenders, and has developed a series of tactical systems that emphasize offense and light defense.

In a league where defense wins championships, his forward thinking has made his team unique in the league.

It's a pity that they can't win. The Warriors' record this season is only a poor 15 wins and 45 losses.

Ranked at the bottom of the Western Conference, the playoffs are completely hopeless.

But Rubio played like a duck to water in the Warriors, and his style of play fits well with Monta Ellis.

Rubio is good at organizing and advancing quickly. Shooting is his weakness, and his personal offensive ability is average.

Although his appearance and temperament are very similar to the league's super scorer, Pete Maravich, nicknamed the pistol.

But there is really no similarity between the two in terms of style of play. Old Nelson also muttered in his heart, it would be great if this guy could have Maravich's shooting ability.

Of course, Rubio's talent on the offensive end is obvious. His passing and vision are top-notch and full of spirituality.

Coupled with his handsome and lovely appearance, with the greenness and sunshine of a Spanish boy, he quickly won the love of fans in the Bay Area, and made Warriors fans forget the regret of missing Curry.

Before the game started, some fans at the scene put up a sign, "We have Rich, we don't need girl Stephen anymore."

The name Stephen is unisex, although in most cases girls use it slightly more.

Boys with similar names generally use Steve, such as Steve Kerr and Steve Nash.

And Curry used Stephen, who was originally small, with a baby face, and lacked some masculinity in appearance.

Some fans will use his name to make jokes, saying that he is a girl at all, as if Zhuge Liang gave Sima Yi women's clothes.

From ancient times to the present, scolding a man's mother has always been a good way to stimulate.

Curry looked at these slogans and just smiled. He didn't want to argue with the fans. Similar slogans will appear in every away game.

If you are angry with the fans, NBA players would have been irritated to death.

Curry chose to fight back with his performance on the court.

Curry continued to make his debut in this game, facing off against Ricky Rubio.

Warriors starters, Rubio, Monta Ellis, Anthony Toliver, Anthony Morrow, plus Biedrins.

This starting lineup is a typical one big and four small. Old Nelson will use this lineup to play against the Clippers with two insiders, and he will die.

Anyway, the team's record this year is like this, it doesn't matter if you win or not, just play around.

Sure enough, as soon as the game started, the Clippers took advantage of the inside advantage to score consecutively.

Defending Randolph is Toliver, who is 2 meters tall. He is known as a power forward, but he is actually a small forward.

The undrafted pick in 07 has been tossed around in Cavaliers, Spurs, Hornets and many other teams, but has never been reused.

He is a player who is not three and four, and his positioning is particularly embarrassing in this era.

They often shine in the NCAA league, but once they enter the high-level league, they will find that they are too slow to do three and too short to do four.

The NBA has entered the era of super power forwards from the inside since the 21st century. Duncan, Garnett, Webber, Nowitzki and others are all center-level height and strength. They play the fourth position and even have the speed of the third position.

Those of you who are nonsense, face this kind of top power forwards will be eaten alive, and your talents will not be displayed at all.

The talent is as strong as Beasley, the No. 08 pick in 13, and he played tepidly. He averaged 14 points per game in his rookie season, and now he has [-] points.

Even if Beasley is like this, like Anthony Toliver, survival in the NBA is even more difficult.

He was already on the verge of elimination, but was favored by Nelson, and the Warriors signed him with a short contract.

In such a wonderful team as the Warriors, he took the position of starting power forward and became the main force of the team.

Under Nelson's fast and non-defensive offensive system, his statistics soared. From averaging two or three points and two or three rebounds per game before, his averages soared to 12 points and seven rebounds per game.

Proper and high-quality rotation data, of course, there must be moisture in it.

But he can play such data, which is enough to survive in the league, so don't worry about the next contract.

Against a low-post beast like Randolph, Toliver is like paper on the defensive end.

From the beginning of the first quarter, Randolph continued to attack in the low post, and the Warriors did not double-team, allowing Randolph to eat Tolliver alone.

He hit four balls in a row over his head, fully demonstrating Randolph's rich positional offensive skills and soft touch.

Seeing Tolliver being beaten up by Randolph, he looked helpless.

Min Congda, who was watching the game from the sidelines, was firm in his original 2K10 selection strategy.

"When choosing players in the future, we must choose this kind of small forward who is in his early 2 meters and who is not three or four. Get together, and a bad team can be expected."
