is also without the team boss, why is the gap so big?
Without Butler's Heat, they defeated the top seeds in the East & Conference 111-101 away to tie the series.
The Pelicans, who did not have a fat tiger, had no power to fight back in front of the Thunder, the first in the West, and lost 92-124 in the second game, falling behind 0-2 in the series.
"The waterfall is spectacular because there is no way back. ”
This phrase applies to our Guangzhou team in the CBA, and it also applies to the Heat, but it is clear that the Pelicans are drowning under the waterfall.
Tough, desperate temperament and determination that not every team will have.
As an honest man, Fat Tiger was crazy when he watched the performance of his teammates, but unfortunately he was powerless.
This buddy has been healthy for almost a season, but he suffered a left hamstring strain in the playoffs with the Lakers and is almost certain to miss all the series against the Thunder.
It is worth mentioning that Fat Tiger is still a playoff debut.
However, even if the Fat Tiger returns, it may not save the team from fire and water, and even make the Pelicans' already bad situation even worse.
Because the sudden return of the team boss is likely to disrupt the original deployment, and everyone will have to accompany him to find form, which will lead to a collapse situation.
The Clippers are a good example, G1 beat the Mavericks, G2 Jr. came back and lost instead, and the series was tied.
But in the long run, it's certainly a good thing that the boss is back from injury.
In this way, the Clippers and the Mavericks are truly on the same starting line.
Both teams are now fully staffed, and there is no longer any talk of victory.
The Clippers then traveled to Dallas to play on the road, and there was good news about morale.
According to BR, the Clippers will reach a contract extension with George, who will finally be able to focus 100 percent on the playoff journey, averaging 22 points per game in his series with the Mavericks so far.
There may be an old brother who sprays this is George's own business, what does it matter to the whole team?
First of all, we must know that Xiaoka deliberately took the initiative to reduce his salary when he renewed his contract with the Clippers, just so that the team could also renew George and Dengo.
Now that the Clippers have renewed George's contract, it is equivalent to living up to Xiaoka's kindness and reassuring Brother Deng, which can be described as a good show that kills three birds with one stone.
When everyone no longer has to worry about the contract, the whole Clippers team can be more united and devote themselves to the battlefield.
So Ballmer dragged on for so long, and at this time he was willing to use the money ability against George, and the timing was very appropriate.
The money that was supposed to be given has an extra motivating effect at a critical moment in the playoffs, so why not.
Cuban: Everyone is a capitalist, and some people are too good at PUA workers.
Getting back to business, it stands to reason that George could sign a four-year, $233 million super-cap contract extension at most.
But it's unlikely, if the Clippers give George that much money, what does Xiaoka think?
So there is a high probability that George and the Clippers will reach a "Leonard-style" contract extension, that is, three years and $153 million.
However, it is still necessary to remind that anything is possible until the official signature is signed.
Maybe there really is a team such as Philadelphia who is crazy about offering a big contract of more than $200 million for 4 years, who can withstand such a temptation?
This will be the last big contract of George's career, and the length of salary is far more important than feelings.
Regardless of George's ending, he will first fulfill his original intention when he came to Los Angeles 19 years ago.
Even if you really want to leave, you should have a perfect curtain call ceremony as much as possible, and draw the most perfect end to yourself and your 5-year Clippers career.
It's hard to grasp the future, so focus on the present!
