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

Chapter 347 The World Becomes Too Fast (Second Change)

Baron Davis is definitely a point that Min Congda overlooked.

A huge blind spot.

Originally, he was the leader of the Clippers' lust and wealth, and Min Congda believed that he was the source of the Clippers' depravity.

As the leader of Los Angeles, he has the responsibility and the obligation to lead the young people of the team to perform badly.

At the beginning, Baron Davis did that. He didn't have much pursuit on the court because he was not short of money.

The championship dream in my heart was gradually worn away by the failures year after year, the tossing of various teams, and the decline of physical condition.

He who traded to the Clippers has a retirement mentality.

After executing the last big contract in my hometown, if I have the opportunity to sign another one, I will sign another one, and if I have no chance, I will retire and fall down.

Baron Davis doesn't really want to hug a strong team for the championship, this is not his style.

And his style of play determines that when he declines, it is difficult to be a plug-and-play microwave oven on other teams.

He needs the ball, he needs stage lights, he needs to design some tactics around him.

After coming to the Clippers, Captain Brand jumped off the boat and fell off a cliff.

Baron Davis believes that the rest of the day is just so casual.

Anyway, he is also returning home, playing professional basketball for 10 years is not a small name.

Walking on the street where I grew up as a child, everyone knew him and knew him as Baron Davis.

His family has lived a good life, and he doesn't have to worry about money after retiring. He has many things to do.

He knows a lot of friends in Hollywood, he can go to filming, and he can participate in variety shows.

He has a place in the fashion circle, he is a trendy person, and he can create a trendy brand.

This season he has become friends with Kanye West, and he may be able to enter the music circle.

He is only 32 years old this year, and he may have entered a period of decline as a basketball player.

But as an ordinary person, his golden age has just begun.

In the eyes of fans, his basketball career has been defeated and is coming to an end.

In his own eyes, the beautiful stage of his life has just begun, full of light.

However, the appearance of two people changed Baron Davis' mind.

One is last year's No. [-] pick, Stephen Curry.

Curry's rapid growth preempted Davis' possession of the ball.

But Baron Davis didn't have a conflict with Curry because of this.

Instead, he admired Curry, who inspired him on that cold night in Minnesota.

In the eyes of fans, this may be a kind of inheritance, but Davis soon discovered that he was not that old.

Curry's passion for basketball and energy on the court inspired Baron Davis' passion for basketball.

The two started a healthy competition, and the good atmosphere in the Clippers became a catalyst.

Baron Davis lost weight last summer and regained his form in order to perform better on the court.

Curry was injured and underwent surgery this season, and Davis took on the heavy responsibility of the team's offensive organization again.

Although the team's record was not particularly good, it did not plummet, but stuck.

Created the basic conditions for the re-emergence in the second half of the season.

The second person who changed him was Steve Kerr.

Baron Davis thought that Cole's arrival would completely establish Curry's core position.

Unexpectedly, Cole did not forget Baron Davis, but designed many new tactics for him.

Davis feels more freedom on the court, he can go more places and use more skills that he used to know.

Going low, going to the corner, going to 45 degrees, his talent was reinvigorated.

Many people think that Curry's comeback allowed the Clippers to set sail again, but they are only half right.

Curry's comeback also liberated Baron Davis, whose style of play and position don't overlap with Curry's.

Under Cole's training, they have become very complementary, able to promote and help each other.

In the playoffs, the familiar eighth place, Baron Davis felt his energy was stimulated.

In the first half, the youngsters bombed indiscriminately, widening the point difference to 15 points.

In the second half, the Spurs will definitely set off a counterattack wave, so they need an experienced veteran like him to hold the line!

The Spurs' offense did start to recover in the second half, and Parker Duncan's pick-and-roll was their weapon to tear apart the Clippers' defense.

With a high pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, Duncan cuts inside, and Parker makes a precise ground-hit pass to Duncan.

Duncan caught the ball and the little guy made a three-step layup!
The goal was scored, but it could be seen that Duncan's footsteps were really heavy.

In the past, this ball was a one-handed dunk.

This time it was indeed an ordinary layup that Duncan rarely used.

Dunleavy saw the ball and yelled from the sidelines: "Go back, go back!"

The implementation of the inside line Shen retreat was not firm enough, which gave Duncan a chance.

Then, Curry made a mistake when he was double-teamed when he went to the basket.

In the counterattack, Parker gave the ball to Jefferson in the right corner.

Jefferson catches the ball, makes a three-pointer, and hits it again!
A corner three-pointer in a quick counterattack.

The Spurs relied on this trick to widen the gap with their opponents in the regular season.

The Spurs scored consecutively and narrowed the point difference to 10 points.

The Spurs, with high morale, almost defended the Clippers for 24 seconds.

In the end, the ball was given to Davis and he forced a mid-range shot!
Baron's steady mid-range pull has become an important offensive weapon for the Clippers.

Then, the Spurs pick and roll again, still Duncan and Parker, or cut inside.

This time, the Clippers sank back in place, and Parker had no chance to get inside.

He chose to break through with the ball to the basket for a layup, and he made a successful throw.

Parker's left foot was injured and wrapped in a white bandage.

His shooting percentage was terrible in the first half.

This layup was his first sports game score.

And then, Baron Davis and Randolph pick and roll.

Getting to the basket is also a light layup.

Duncan's awareness of supplementary defense was timely, but his legs and feet couldn't keep up.

Another pick-and-roll between Parker and Duncan, the Spurs really have no other way to do it.

The Clippers are still sinking and retreating, following, Parker wants to make a mid-range shot, think about it or forget it.

If you can't make the shot, pass it to Jefferson. Jefferson catches the ball and breaks through, and passes it again.

After repeatedly pulling the Clippers' defense line, they finally opened up space on the bottom edge.

Parker slipped to the basket, received a pass from Duncan and made a layup!

The Spurs' offense is getting smoother, but the defense can't stop it!

Baron Davis catches the ball in the low post and suddenly makes a nice through pass to the basket.

Randolph received the ball, pushed the defender away, and made a layup with his left hand!

Both sides score when you come and go, which is a great disadvantage to the Spurs.

You are 15 points behind, so how can you chase points when you score one goal?
Of course Popovich knows this. With such a big point difference, the Clippers must be suppressed on the defensive end.

But Popovich, who is missing two generals, really has no cards to play.

He could only continue to play the offensive card and replaced Juan Blair early in the third quarter.

Count on Blair's energy to muddy the waters on offense.

The Spurs played the most regular and orderly game ever.

It has been reduced to relying on a short and strong insider to muddy the water on the offensive end.

It is amazing that the world has changed too fast, and the NBA regular season and playoffs have changed too much.

　Encountered trouble, brothers, two updates for the time being, and the next update will be as stable as possible.
