: Five hundred and fifty-nine: just this year

Behind 3-0, countless teams want to break the "curse" that a 3-0 lag will definitely be out. But these teams have one thing in common, that is, they all failed in the end.
The Clippers players also knew this, so they became very discouraged after the game.
In the press conference after the game, the Grizzlies were lively, and the Clippers side, Pooh Denagro, who had completely given up resistance, bluntly said in front of everyone to let the Clippers manage The layer was angrily said, "We have lost this season, it's over, everything is over."
The fans know that the team is doomed to lose. But as the head coach directly admit defeat, there is indeed something wrong. It can only be said that Denagro has been completely defeated. And he also knows that he is already unsafe, and he doesn't care what the management thinks of him.
De Nagro's remarks quickly caught the Clippers' ears. There is no doubt that his remarks became the last straw that crushed the Clippers.
The day after the game ended, Link was punished again. And the league officially announced that if Link takes any more radical and inappropriate actions, it will take a ban.
However, everyone knows that Link will not be fooled. On the basketball court, he is still the most dangerous killer.
Sure enough, a day later, the Grizzlies won this crucial battle when the main players only played half a quarter.
At this time, the Clippers have no desire to fight, anyway they are losing, why bother to struggle? As a result, the Grizzlies were 32 points behind at halftime...Finally, the Grizzlies' main force was able to rest early.
, This is the biggest difference between the two sides since the series began. When Denagro and Paul have given up, the Clippers really have no combat effectiveness.
In the beginning, when the Clippers and Grizzlies met in the Western Conference semifinals, they never expected that the final outcome was actually swept out!
Paul was full of confidence. He thought that the Clippers had improved a lot after the first round of baptism, and it was enough to compete with the Grizzlies.
But it turns out that he still thinks of the Grizzlies too simply. A team that can score 70 wins in the regular season is not a joke.
"4-0, the Memphis Grizzlies swept the Los Angeles Clippers and became the first team in the league to advance to the conference finals! God, almost every series in the Western Conference played hard to solve. But the Memphis Grizzlies actually used it. In such a crazy way, they defeated their old enemy." Barkley looked at the Grizzlies players who were high-fiving each other on the court. So far, their road to the championship has gone very smoothly!
The day after the end of the series, the Clippers official announced the layoff of Pooh Denagro. Although the arrival of this coach has transformed the Clippers from a big team into a playoff-level team, there is no doubt that the Clippers' second round of the playoffs still does not meet management expectations. They asked Paul to team up with Griffin, but not for the second round.
Coupled with Denagro's initiative to admit defeat in front of the media, it even touched the bottom line of management. As a coach, you can lose, but you can't give up without playing. If even the head coach concedes, who else would be willing to fight for you?
Watching the news of Danagro's dismissal in the training hall, Link couldn't help shaking his head. Although Denagro's performance in the playoffs was really terrible, he was also the one who put the Clippers on track.
But the league is so cruel, no matter how great your past achievements, the team said that if you abandon you will abandon you. This is the NBA, a business with a weak human touch and victory over everything.
But now the Grizzlies don't have so much time and energy to sympathize with Denagro, although the experience of sweeping opponents 4-0 in two consecutive rounds makes the Grizzlies very strong in their hearts. But everyone knows that it's not over yet.
It can even be said that everything has not really started yet.
The next opponent, no matter who the Spurs or Thunder advances, is not a tough bone to chew. Not to mention, the Miami Heat won the MVP this year.
So even after winning the Clippers, the Grizzlies players did not relax in the training field. They all know that they want more than that.
At this time, the team's training today has entered the stage of special practice. The training items of each player at this stage are different, some may be practicing shooting, and some may be practicing layups in confrontation. As for Jimmy Butler, his training program is still impenetrable defense.
At the beginning of the season, the Grizzlies coaching staff wanted Butler to practice shooting. After all, as an outside player, if there is no shooting, the limitations will be very large.
Then half a season later, the Grizzlies shooting coaches all exclaimed that Butler is simply the most talented player he has ever met. Because of his speed of improvement in shooting, it's amazing!
Of course, this is naturally set off by the big brother Tony Allen.
Last season, Jimmy Butler had almost no three-point range. He couldn't adapt to the NBA's three-point line, and his three-pointer percentage was only 18.2%. But this season, thanks to the efforts of his shooting coach and Butler, his three-pointer percentage has risen by a full 20%.
Although the number of shots is small, but at any rate it is sure.
For Butler, who doesn't need to be the main attacker, his progress has exceeded management expectations. Therefore, after that, Butler's training focus has returned to defense.
So defensive training has become a daily compulsory course for Jimmy Butler. With Tony Allen as an experienced teacher and Link as a powerful sparring opponent, Butler's defensive progress is obvious.
Under the supervision of the trainer, Jimmy Butler and Link's heads-up "performance" began again. Link was not polite to Butler because it was training. Relaxing on the training ground was just not responsible for the game. This is what Link learned in the Development Alliance. And so far in his career, he has followed this principle.
Therefore, the confrontation between the two on the training ground is real. Link held the ball to face Butler, suddenly turned around, and raised his elbow secretly during the turn. Of course, Link knew the strength, his elbow won't really hurt Butler's health, but it was enough to make the guy's chest stuffy with pain.
After being elbowed, Butler seemed to let go. Link seized the opportunity and hung the frame with both hands after a big step! The basket made a loud noise and even attracted the attention of everyone else on the training ground.
"You are too weak! If it was Kevin Durant or LeBron James who just elbowed you, you can't expect them to be as gentle as I am! The Western Conference Finals and Finals are more willing to kill! "After the dunk, Link yelled at Butler. Although he entered the league only a year earlier than Butler, Link really entered the role of a strict teacher.
Seeing this scene, Tony Allen only felt lucky. Since Jimmy Butler officially entered the rotation this season and can practice with everyone, the pressure on him has been much less. Otherwise, just now, Mr. Tony estimated that he was the one who was hit by the elbow.
"Damn it, don't be proud of Link. Come again, I'm going to overturn you this time!" Jimmy Butler rubbed his chest and responded without showing any weakness. Everyone is used to the bickering between these two guys on the basketball court.
When the two yelled at each other for the first time, they really scared everyone. People thought the two guys really had a conflict. Afterwards, everyone found that these two guys yell at each other almost every time they train. But once the training ended, the relationship between the two was too good. Over time, I got used to it.
Link didn't want to be prestigious, but he knew that being fierce to Butler on the training ground was to make him fierce to others in the game.
In the next two rounds of the series, if you really face Durant and James, then Link needs Jimmy Butler to stand up and play a role. Those two guys can't be dealt with by Iguodala or Tony Allen alone, they must work together!
At the next practice, Link gave Butler another iron shoulder. But this time, Butler did not back down, but continued to push up with the pain, and actively confronted Link, which led to Link's final layup miss!
During the confrontation with Butler, Link was unstable and fell to the ground in embarrassment. But there was an excited smile on his face.
Such defense is probably enough to make Durant and James suffer.
"That's right, Jimmy~EbookFREE.me~ This is called defense! Basketball is a sport of muscle fighting, so you should not give up. After the next two rounds of the series, you should be as tough as before and do a good job. Dude!"
"Cut, be careful with yourself. If you hurt you, I can't afford to be responsible. At that time, who will lead us to win." Butler said coldly, but he stretched out his hand and fell to the ground. Link pulled it up.
Seeing that scene on the training ground, everyone couldn't help but smile. It is precisely because there are players on the team who are willing to help others improve that the Grizzlies will get better.
Think about how much Link learned from the old players before. Tony Allen, Randolph, Iguodala or even Battier... Without them, Link would not be the Link now.
And Link, at this time, gave what he had learned to Jimmy Butler.
Perhaps because of this, Link is more like a leader. He will not only make himself better, but also make his teammates better.
Seeing Butler being abused before and unable to take care of himself, until now he can knock Link to the ground, everyone is extremely expecting.
"Okay, next! Tobias, it's you, don't think you can be lazy today!" After training with Jimmy Butler, Link hooked Tobias Harris again.
Everyone immediately made a fuss, Harris held his forehead and stood up. I thought I had just swept the Clippers and could escape today. As a result, Link is still very strict with everyone.
Watching the young players grow up, the old players still maintain their level, Robert Pera, who is standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office looking into the training ground, is excited.
The Western Conference finals are coming soon, the Grizzlies can't wait, they will advance to the next round!
Out of the west, this year!
