3-0 down, countless teams want to break the "Curse" of 3-0 down. But these teams all have one thing in common, which is that they all failed in the end.


    The Clippers knew that too, so they became very discouraged at the end of the game.


    At the press conference after the game, the Grizzlies were in a frenzy, while the clippers, who had completely given up their resistance, said bluntly in front of everyone that the Clippers'' management was furious, "we''re losing this season, it''s over, it''s all over."


    The fact that the team is doomed to lose is clear to the fans. But as a coach, it is not right to admit defeat directly. It can only be said that de Negro has been completely beaten down. And he also knows that he is no longer a good-looking man and doesn''t care what the management thinks of himself.


    De Negro''s comments soon came to the ears of the clippers, and there is no doubt that his comments became the last straw that killed the Clippers.


    The day after the game, link was punished again. And the League officially announced that if link has excessive inappropriate action, it will take the measure of suspension.


    As we all know, link won''t be fooled. On the basketball court, he is still the most dangerous killer.


    Sure enough, a day later, the Grizzlies won the key battle after only half of the game.


    At this time, the clippers have no desire to fight, in any case are lost, why struggle? So, the half-time behind the Grizzlies 32 points... Finally, let the Grizzlies main force to have an early rest.


    It was 100-82, the biggest difference between the two sides since the start of the series. When de Negro and Paul have given up, the Clippers really don''t have any fighting power.


    At first, when the clippers and Grizzlies met in the Western Conference semi-finals, they never thought that the final outcome was to be swept out!


    Paul was full of confidence. He thought the Clippers had improved a lot after the first round of baptism, enough to compete with Grizzlies.


    But it turns out that he still thinks too simply about Grizzlies. It''s no fun for a team that can beat 70 wins in the regular season.


    "4-0, Memphis Grizzlies swept the Los Angeles Clippers, becoming the first team in the League to reach the division finals! God, almost every series in the Western Conference is hard to break. But the Memphis Grizzlies have defeated their old enemies in such a crazy way Barkley looked at the Grizzlies who were clapping hands with each other on the court. So far, their championship road has been very smooth!


    The day after the series ended, the Clippers officially announced the dismissal of Vinny de Negro. Although the arrival of the coach made the Clippers from a fish bellied team into a strong team at the playoff level, there is no doubt that the Clippers'' second round of the playoffs is still not in line with the management''s expectations. They didn''t ask Paul to join Griffin for the second round.


    In addition, de Negro''s initiative to admit defeat in front of the media has touched the bottom line of the management. As a manager, you can lose, but you can''t give up before you play. If even the manager admits defeat, what other players are willing to fight for you?


    In the training center, link shook his head as he watched the news of de Negro''s dismissal. Although de Negro''s performance in the playoffs was really bad, he was also the one who put the Clippers on track.


    But the league is so cruel, no matter how great your achievements in the past, the team will abandon you if they say they abandon you. This is the NBA, a man of weak taste, victory over all business.


    But now the Grizzlies don''t have so much time and energy to sympathize with de Negro, although the experience of two consecutive 4-0 sweeps of opponents makes Grizzlies very strong in their hearts. But as everyone knows, it''s not over.


    It can even be said that everything has not really started.


    The next opponent, no matter who is promoted by the Spurs and thunder, is not a tough bone to chew. Not to mention the Miami Heat, which won MVP this year.


    So even after winning the clippers, the Grizzlies didn''t let up on the training ground. They all know that they want more than that.


    At this time, the team today''s training into the stage of each special practice. Each player''s training program at this stage is different, some may be practicing shooting, some may be playing layup in the practice confrontation. As for Jamie Butler, his training program is still a solid defense.


    At the beginning of the season, the Grizzlies coach wanted Butler to practice shooting. After all, as an outside player, if there is no shooting, the limitations will be very big.


    Then half a season later, the Grizzlies shooting coach exclaimed that Butler was the most talented player he had ever met. Because of his speed of progress in shooting, it can be called speed!


    Of course, of course, there is Tony Allen as the big brother to set off.


    Last season, Jimmy Butler had almost no three-point range. He couldn''t adapt to the NBA''s three-point line, with a dismal 18.2% three-point shooting rate. But this season, thanks to the efforts of the shooting coach and Butler, his three-point shooting percentage has risen to 20 percent.Although the number of shots is less, but at least is sure.


    For Butler, who doesn''t need to be the main attacker, he has made more progress than the management expected. Therefore, since then, Butler''s training center of gravity, has returned to the defense.


    So defensive training became a daily required course for Jimmy Butler. With Tony Allen, an experienced teacher, and link as a strong sparring opponent, Butler''s progress in defense is obvious.


    Under the supervision of the trainer, the solo "show" of Jimmy Butler and link began again. Link is not polite to Butler because it is training. To relax on the training ground is not responsible for the game. This is what link learned in the development alliance. And he has followed this principle since his career.


    Therefore, the two people in the training ground confrontation is solid. Link holds the ball to face Butler, suddenly turns around, and raises his elbow secretly in the process of turning. Of course, link knows the force, and his elbow strokes won''t really hurt Butler''s health, but it''s enough to make the guy''s chest ache.


    After being hit by the elbow, Butler seemed to lose his strength. Link then seizes the opportunity, after big step up, hands vigorously hang the frame! The basket made a huge noise and even attracted the eyes of everyone else on the training ground.


    "You are too weak! If it''s Kevin Durant or LeBron James who just elbowed you, you can''t expect them to be as gentle as I am! Who is more willing to die than the western finals and the finals 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.


    Tony Allen was just glad to see this. 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 it was himself who was hit by the elbow.


    "Damn it. Don''t be proud, link. Again, I''m going to cover you this time! " Jimmy Butler rubbed his chest and responded without any sign of weakness. We are used to the bickering between the two guys on the basketball court.


    The first time they yelled at each other for the first time, they really scared everyone. People thought the two guys were really in conflict. But later, we found that the two guys yelled at each other almost every time. But once the training is over, the relationship between them is not good. Over time, they are used to it.


    Link didn''t want to show prestige, but he knew that being cruel to Butler in training ground was to make him cruel to others in the game.


    In the next two rounds of the series, if it''s really against Durant and James, link needs Jimmy Butler to come forward and play a role. These two guys are not igordala or Tony Allen can deal with alone. We have to work together!


    After a practice, link gave Butler another iron shoulder. But this time, Butler did not flinch, but endured the pain to continue to force up, and link positive confrontation, leading to link finally failed to lay up!


    In the process of confrontation with butler, link lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground in confusion. But on his face, there is an excited smile.


    This kind of defense is probably enough to make Durant and James suffer.


    "That''s right, Jimmy. That''s defense! Basketball is a sport in which muscles fight against each other, so we should never give in. After two rounds of the series, you should be as tough as you were just now. Good job, man


    "Cut, be careful of yourself. I can''t afford to hurt you. Who will lead us to win Butler spoke coldly, but he held out his hand and pulled up link, who had fallen to the ground.


    In the training ground to see that scene, everyone can not help but smile. It''s because of the players in the team who are willing to help others improve, the Grizzlies will become better.


    Think about how much link has learned from the old players. Tony Allen, Randolph, igordala and even Battier... Without them, link would not be the link he is now.


    Link, meanwhile, handed over what he had learned to Jimmy Butler.


    Maybe that''s why link is more like a leader. He will not only make himself better, but also his teammates.


    We all looked forward to Butler''s failure to take care of himself before, and now he can knock link to the ground.


    "Well, next! Tobias, it''s your turn. Don''t think you can be lazy today After training with Jimmy Butler, link hooked Tobias Harris again.


    They all started to yell, and Harris stood up with his forehead. I thought I just swept the clipper. I can 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, standing in front of the floor to floor window of the office, looking at the training ground, Robert Pera is excited.


    Come on, the Grizzlies can''t wait to make it to the next round!Out of the west, this year!
