Godfather of the NBA: Cutting Curry and creating a dynasty

After the All-Star Game, it's the second half of the regular season.

In the second half of the season, the Clippers were still in a hot state. It was not until March 3 against the Oklahoma City Thunder led by the "Three Young Thunders" that they finally ushered in a defeat.

Before that, the Clippers went from 13 consecutive victories before the All-Star Game to 27 consecutive victories.

This also broke the previous record of 22 consecutive victories in a single season held by the Houston Rockets.

If Yang Li remembers correctly, the record of 27 consecutive victories should have been created by the Heat in 13.

Unexpectedly, this time it turned out that the Clippers set this record a year ahead of schedule.

Moreover, it may be difficult for the current Heat to break this record again.

After all, with Yang Li, their team strength is weaker than in previous life.

For example, Sean Battier was supposed to go to the Heat, but Yang Li got him to the Clippers.

Battier played a very important role during the Heat's two consecutive championships.

It can be said that, with an annual salary of 300 million, doing a job of 1000 million.

In the end, in this shortened season, the Clippers achieved an impressive record of 54 wins and 12 losses.

The winning percentage is 81.8%, which is the third highest regular season winning percentage since the merger of NBA and ABA in 1976.

It surpassed the Los Angeles Lakers led by the OK combination in the 99-00 season. The Lakers' winning percentage that year was 81.7%.

Cold knowledge 1, the No. 2 regular season winning percentage is the Chicago Bulls in the 96-97 season, with a regular season winning percentage of 84.1%.

冷知识2，比96-97赛季的芝加哥公牛常规赛胜率更高的，是95-96赛季的芝加哥公牛。

That year, the Chicago Bulls had 72 wins and 10 losses in the regular season, and the regular season winning percentage was as high as 87.8%!

As we all know, a team later broke this regular season record, but failed to win the championship that year.

This directly became a joke of the entire league and even the entire basketball world at that time.

And in the finals, the ones who defeated them were the three men who made the players of the entire league tremble when they met them.

Please remember their names:

Danny Crawford, Monty McGlenn, Mike Callahan!

Alright, off topic.

In short, the 2011-2012 regular season, because it is a shrinking season, there is really nothing to say.

The Clippers' record is quite explosive, but the process is lackluster.

Go straight to the playoffs.

The record in the Eastern Conference this season continues to be led by the Chicago Bulls.

Under the leadership of Rose, coupled with the outstanding performance of Luol Deng, Boozer, Noah and Hamilton.

They have an excellent record of 50 wins and 16 losses, only 4 games less than the Los Angeles Clippers.

The second place in the East is the Miami Heat led by the young Big Three.

Due to the large changes in tactical play, they have been running in the lineup in the first half of this year.

So this also affected their record this year, only 46 wins and 20 losses.

The third place is the Boston Celtics led by the old Big Three with a record of 3 wins and 40 losses.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the real core of this year's Celtics is Rajon Rondo.

The 4th to 8th are respectively:

Indiana Pacers, Atlanta Hawks, Orlando Magic, New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers.

The Toronto Raptors, No. 9 in the Eastern Conference, have the same record as the 76ers, but unfortunately failed to enter the playoffs because they did not have an advantage over the 76ers.

However, the Raptors have shown that they can enter the playoffs.

Give them a few more years to grow, and they should be a new powerhouse in the East.

The regular season record in the Western Conference ranks second, and it is the San Antonio Spurs.

Their record is 50 wins and 16 losses, the same as the Chicago Bulls at the top of the Eastern Conference.

And defeated the Los Angeles Clippers twice in the regular season.

The third place in the Western Conference is the Los Angeles Lakers led by Kobe and Paul.

They are 48-18 this year, just two games behind the Spurs.

Ranked fourth in the West is the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Under the leadership of the "Three Young Men of Thunder", they achieved an excellent record of 47 wins and 19 losses.

The 5th to 8th regular season records in the Western Conference are:

Memphis Grizzlies, Denver Nuggets, Dallas Mavericks and Utah Jazz.

It is worth mentioning that the No. 9 in the Western Conference is the Houston Rockets.

After Dayao was injured, they have missed the playoffs for three consecutive years.

The little goodwill that domestic fans had left for them was almost exhausted.

Instead, Dayao's new team-the Los Angeles Clippers.

Now if there is a poll in China, who is the home team in your mind.

The final result of the vote must be a cliff-like lead for the Los Angeles Clippers.

Because Dayao won the championship here, and also won the FMVP.

Compared with the eight years he spent in the Rockets before, Yao's time in the Los Angeles Clippers this year is much more exciting.

In the first round of the playoffs, the Clippers played against the Utah Jazz.

This jazz team is now different, and it is no longer the jazz team of the "Dayao Nemesis" back then.

Not only is the head coach no longer Tie Shuai Sloan, even the players in the team have almost changed.

Deron, Boozer and Okur are no longer in the team.

Their number one star right now is Al Jefferson.

A former wolf king who was abandoned by the Timberwolves due to injury.

The No. 10 star next to him is the second-year rookie selected in [-], Gordon Hayward.

Facing such a Jazz team, the Clippers swept them home with a big score of 4:0 without any effort.

Among the other first-round matchups in the West:

The San Antonio Spurs, No. 2 in the Western Conference, swept the No. 4 Dallas Mavericks 0-7.

The Los Angeles Lakers, No. 3 in the Western Conference, also swept out the No. 4 Denver Nuggets with a big score of 0:6.

The Thunder, No. 4 in the West, even swept the Memphis Grizzlies 4:0.

You must know that the Grizzlies lineup is very neat.

At the center position, there is "Big Pyrenees" Marc Gasol, who is capable of protecting the frame.

The power forward position is the former Clippers player, "Bear King" Zach Randolph.

At the small forward position is Rudy Gay, who averaged 19+6 per game.

At the shooting guard position, it is Tony Allen, an expert on perimeter defense.

The point guard is the future Mr. Billionaire Mike Conley.

The team's sixth man is still the third pick in 08, OJ Mayo.

Such a team was swept away by the Thunder!
