Godfather of the NBA: Cutting Curry and creating a dynasty

In the fourth quarter, the players sent by the Clippers are:

Paul Millsap at center, Shane Battier and Paul George at forward, Klay Thompson at shooting guard and Stephen Curry at point guard.

This lineup is a replica of the 16 Warriors Western Conference Finals G6 lineup.

The current Clay is just a rookie Clay, not the peak Clay in 16.

This Yang Li cannot be changed, after all, it is impossible to use magic to transform Clay from a rookie to a peak.

However, since we are going to engage in metaphysics, try to keep the other conditions consistent:

Millsapping replaced Dream Chaser, Battier and Pickled Pepper replaced Brother Yi and Barnes.

An experienced small forward with a future star small forward.

Curry is still the same Curry who just won the championship last year as the outside core.

The other conditions are all up to standard, and the next step is to see Clay's performance!

For Clay's playing, Phil Jackson was very puzzled.

At the critical moment of this critical game, Yang Li actually sent a rookie guard to play?

Even if Ginobili has been tired from playing in the first three quarters, he should be on the court.

At least as long as Manu stands there, the Lakers have to keep an eye on his movements.

Paul looked at Clay with envy and hatred.

As I said before, today is a very important battle for him and Kobe.

Kobe is to catch up with Jordan's footsteps, this has already been said.

But why today's battle is more important to Paul, it is naturally because before this, Paul has never proved himself in the playoffs.

Even, he still has a very disgraceful record.

The biggest loss in a single game in the playoffs - 58 points.

That was the first round of the 2009 playoffs, Game 4 between the New Orleans Hornets and the Denver Nuggets.

In this game, the Nuggets track and field team led by Carmelo Anthony directly defeated the Hornets led by Paul.

In the end, the Hornets lost to the Nuggets by 58 points, and 58 points became the pain of Paul's life.

Not to mention his entire career, it also runs through the author's entire book.

That is, since then, the topic of Paul's inability to lead the team has been raucous.

In the subsequent 09-10 and 10-11 seasons, Paul also worked harder, trying to prove himself.

But in the end, everyone knew it, and there was no proof at all.

So, under the power of James' "role model", Paul applied to the management for a deal.

Then he came to the current Lakers.

If Paul could have used New Orleans as a small ball market before and could not attract big-name players as an excuse.

Now, he has no excuses.

Los Angeles is the second largest ball market after New York.

And Paul's current teammates, Kobe, Gasol and Bynum, are all All-Star players.

Kobe is even a top ten superstar in history.

It can be said that in such a super team, if you can't win the championship, it is a failure!

If you don't even make it to the finals, it's a failure among failures!

This year, Paul has reached the Western Conference Finals for the first time in his 7-year career.

And the young man in front of him, Klay Thompson, just entered the NBA last year and hasn't played a full season yet.

However, he is now able to stand against himself on the stage of the Western Conference Finals.

He's just a rookie, what can he do? !

Of course, what Paul didn't know was that this guy named Clay had personally shattered his championship dream in another time and space.

At that time, Paul's Rockets led Clay's Warriors by 17 points.

Now, the Lakers are only 12 points ahead of the Clippers.

beep!

The referee whistled, and the Lakers Clippers G6 game officially started in the fourth quarter!
