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

Chapter 365 The Beginning of a Long Fight (Second Update)
No matter how difficult it is, Min Congda can face it with a smile.

Of course, to put it nicely, this is called optimism.

To put it bluntly, it means that the brain does not remember things, remembers to eat but not to fight.

However, the basketball world has always been full of people who remember to eat but not to play.

Like many fans, their home team was beaten up in the playoffs, and they were beaten in disgrace.

After an offseason, he can be resurrected with full blood, and once again, no one is afraid.

There are also some fans, the team is already 0:3, and they still feel that the home team can perform miracles and come back 4:0.

Even 0:4, there are people who say bluntly that they can make a 5:4 reversal...

Perhaps the charm of sports lies in this. Failure is painful, but the road of fighting will never end.

Like Bailey said, which one is the most exciting goal?Definitely the next one.

Sports competition always gives people hope, and there is always a chance to start again after failure.

Even if a certain star falls, there will still be an influx of new players who will continue to bring new hope.

Rebuilding again and again, falling down again and again, standing up again and again.

The NBA is such an endless cycle.

Min Congda wanted to jump out of this cycle, but fell into it unknowingly.

Of course, everyone wants to win, but he wants to lose.

He was defeated and fought repeatedly, but he won more and more.

The process is painful, and the will is tenacious.

Coupled with Min Congda's unique basketball talent, a person with an optimistic personality and lower than average intelligence is really suitable for working in the NBA.

It's just that he doesn't think so. He is thinking about 3.6 million US dollars, and the bounty at the end of this season is estimated to increase to 4 million.

The first game between the Clippers and the Thunder will be on May 5.

The Clippers team arrived in Oklahoma City one day earlier for rest and warm-up training.

The 4:0 sweep in the first round made the Clippers team full of confidence and got a good rest.

The health of the team is quite good, and Curry's ankle has been closely monitored and maintained.

The team doctor said that Curry's operation was very successful, and because it was done very early, he recovered very well.

As long as you pay attention to protection, there will be no major problems in the future.

For Min Congda's vision, Curry and his family are very grateful.

Young players such as Harden, George, and Dragic are even more physically fit.

Davis, Randolph and other veterans are also in good condition.

There must be injuries, and there is no professional athlete who is not injured.

Perfect health doesn't exist at all, it's just minor injuries.

All players basically played with injuries.

Why did the Lakers have so many twists and turns when they beat the Grizzlies in the first round?

In the first two games, stunned young men like Griffin and Jordan couldn't adapt to the playoffs at all.

But after adjusting two games and returning to the home court, the Lakers won.

Kobe only scored 10 points in the fourth game, which is the lowest score in the playoffs in recent years.

Because Kobe was seriously troubled by injuries, and he was unwilling to rest, he always played with injuries.

But even so, optimistic Lakers fans still believe that the Lakers can win this year's championship.

Playing against the Mavericks in the semifinals was even more difficult. After all, the Mavericks won the first round quite well.

It also led 2:0, and then was pulled by the Blazers for two consecutive games.

One of them was a big reversal in the fourth quarter, which made the fans hooked.

Nowitzki's name was put on the head of the soft guy again.

The Lakers and Mavericks met in the playoffs for the first time since the new era in 1999.

After that lockout ended, the Spurs ushered in the NBA's Western Conference era.

After that, the West is dominated by the Lakers and Spurs.

In 12 years, the two teams have shared almost all the Western Conference championships, with the only exception being the Mavericks in 06.

The Mavericks and the Spurs clashed several times, and they were killed in the dark.

The Lakers and Spurs also fought several battles to decide the championship in advance.

However, the Mavericks and the Lakers have never met in the playoffs before.

It can be said that in 2011, when the old era is coming to an end, when a new round of lockout is coming, the Lakers vs Mavericks, Kobe vs Nowitzki is an excellent competitive feast for fans.

Compared with the old-age confrontation between the Mavericks and the Lakers, the Clippers and the Thunder are an early contest in the new era.

Compared with the Clippers, the Thunder's condition is also very good.

The young troika composed of Durant, Westbrook, and Gordon is extremely powerful.

Before the trade deadline of the 2011 season, the Thunder traded Jeff Green and acquired Kendrick Perkins from the Celtics.

The quality of this deal is debatable. The Thunder really need a rim-protecting insider, but their previous target was Tyson Chandler.

As a result, the transaction had already been completed, but Chandler failed the physical examination, so the transaction had to be cancelled.

Then, Chandler was sent to the Mavericks, the Thunder's inside is still empty.

The Thunder's biggest target in the West is of course the Lakers.

Everyone fears the top three of the Lakers, and the Clippers also have duo inside.

In the 10 Finals, the Celtics lost to the Lakers in the tiebreaker. It cannot be said that there was no impact of Perkins' reimbursement.

His role in the interior against the Lakers' top three is obvious.

After getting Perkins, the Thunder's lineup is more complete.

From the starting five to the sixth on the bench, each position is full of elite soldiers.

After the deal was completed at the end of February during the regular season, the Thunder only lost two games throughout March.

The only team in the league that overshadowed them is the Chicago Bulls in the East.

The rim protection and rebound protection brought by Perkins were all scarce in the Thunder before.

But to say it's worthless, Perkins's autonomous offensive ability is not at all.

As a clumsy big center, in an era when the inside giants are gradually withering, whether he can support the Thunder's inside in the future is a big question mark.

The Thunder were impatient to keep him with a four-year contract of 4 million yuan.

Some media commented that Perkins' contract may be even more rubbish than the Clippers Milicic's contract.

Because Milicic can still develop offensive capabilities, but Perkins has no such possibility.

In the new era, ball power and space are everything. Can a behemoth like Perkins adapt to the old era?
Of course, at least this season, in the Western Conference semifinals, Perkins is definitely useful.

The Clippers' inside double bears, and the Thunder Perkins + Ibaka, must have a fierce battle.

On the night of May 5st, at the Pisacek Energy Center, the Thunder all wore blue T-shirts.

For the Thunder, this is the first time the new team has entered the playoffs.

They broke through the first round and came to the semi-finals.

The opponent Clippers are their revenge in a sense.

If it weren't for the Clippers last season, the Thunder would have made the playoffs last year.

Oklahoma City fans are still extremely enthusiastic, and the atmosphere at the scene can be called crazy.

Min Congda likes the atmosphere and the popcorn in the energy center.

He didn't accept any pre-match interviews this time, so shut up!

The game started at 7 o'clock mountain time, and a long round of fighting began.
