I was determined to be bad, but I went straight to the Basketball Hall of Fame

Chapter 267 An Accident Happened (Fourth Change)
After the start of the fourth quarter, the first thing that surprised McMillan was that Dunleavy used the combination of Milicic and PJ-Tucker in the interior.

The combination of Bonner and Milicic in the first half made Dunleavy realize that these two white and slow insiders cannot be present at the same time.

Although Bonner can open up space in offense, such a combination suffers too much in defense.

Compared with the Red Mamba's really slow, Milicic's mobility is acceptable after losing weight in the summer.

And send Tucker, in order to enhance the team's control on the long rebound, Tucker's fighting enthusiasm is enough.

This combination of insiders really achieved good results after a period of time at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Tucker's height is a disadvantage, but as long as he doesn't match up with Adelaide, it really can't be said that he can stabilize him by opening up other strikers.

Even if Cunningham wants to take Tucker hard in the low position, Milicic is still waiting behind.

Milicic is a real tall tower, with a solid 2 meters, standing out from the crowd on the field.

The second thing that surprised McMillan was that Deng let Curry play as a shooting guard.

In the first half, Harden and Curry did not cooperate very well, and the two were always pushing the ball.

In the fourth quarter, Dunleavy asked Curry to replace Baron Davis and asked Curry to play the second position.

The ball was completely in the hands of James Harden, and Curry resumed using his running position to shuttle inside and outside.

The team's stagnant offense began to flow again, and once again there were three or four options for an offensive tactic.

As soon as Curry came up in the fourth quarter, he used the screen to find an open space in the bottom corner, received a pass from Harden and hit a three-pointer.

Then, Batum missed a three-pointer, Tucker got the rebound, and handed the ball to Harden immediately.

Harden hit the ground again to Curry, and Curry dribbled away from the defender, walked out, and seemed to be about to shoot a mid-range jumper.

Suddenly, with a flick of his wrist, the ball was passed to Milicic who made an air cut. Milicic easily scored two points with one-handed dunk.

The Blazers still played their positions with a single eye, and Oberto's low-post attack was blocked by Milicic.

The Clippers counterattacked again, Harden pretended to pass the ball, and suddenly accelerated to the basket, jumped high, and dunked with both hands!
The Clippers stopped the Blazers 7:0 at the beginning of the fourth quarter. It took only 2 minutes to catch up to 3 points.

When the timeout came off, Harden and Curry clapped lightly, and the two went to the bench to discuss it.

"Is it better for me to hold the ball?"

"Not necessarily, I asked you today, you can change it next time."

"No problem, do you want to change it later?"

"It still doesn't work, let's talk about it after winning this match."

Min Congda sat behind the two of them, and after listening to it, he thought to himself: "You two are still out of breath? You just played a good shot for 2 minutes in the fourth quarter, and you forgot what kind of bear was defended in the middle? The mistakes happened one after another. How many times have you made mistakes, little fat man? 5 times, right?"

Watching the Trail Blazers score close, Min Congda remained calm.

He has watched too many football games, and he knows that the process of the game is like a wave, with ups and downs.

Especially in the regular season encounters, the two sides have a turn-based system. You are good for a while, and I am strong for a while, which is very normal.

"McMillan is still too careless, and was overshadowed by Lao Deng. Our two backcourts are very good at creating offensive opportunities. We must always exert high pressure on them, and we must not relax our defensive attention."

"Look at you guys. If you lead by 10 points, you will be careless. If you don't start the main force earlier, let the Clippers play late?"

Curry got a full rest in the third quarter, and Harden came off the bench, and he was already in good physical condition.

The Clippers have an 11-man rotation tonight, and it's the first game of the season. Everyone is very energetic.

The timeout ended and the game continued. McMillan Miller and Roy returned to the court early.

The Clippers' second general in the backcourt really scored quickly, and the 10-point advantage was gone in the blink of an eye.

The Blazers' strategy is still to stabilize, stabilize the situation, and stabilize the situation.

Lao Deng saw Ade on the field, and at the same time replaced Tucker, allowing Randolph to return to the field.

Milicic continues to top the center position, and Xiaojia can get more rest time.

It can be seen that Lao Deng wants to test Milicic's quality.

After all, this is the insider that the general manager signed back at a high price in summer.

Even if you feel unreliable as a head coach, you have to give it a try, right?

If it is really unreliable, the performance on the court speaks for itself, and if the high price is signed, it must be found a way to get rid of it.

Lao Deng still understands this bit of human sophistication, and let Milicic play more in the first game.

After Milicic gained trust, his performance on the court was really good.

The main thing is that he let go of his burden and didn't think about showing offensive skills.

Instead, focus on defense, focus on getting in position and rebounding, and focus on covering.

Let Randolph worry about the offensive end, he doesn't want to try it anymore.

Adelaide tried to hit Randolph in a low position, turned around and made a hook with his right hand.

Milicic, who was defended from the side, was blocked!

Milicic's tall stature and extremely long arms successfully blocked Alder's shot.

The ball was tapped into Curry's hands, and Curry advanced to observe, and suddenly a high throw passed to the basket.

Harden jumped high, made an alley-oop, and dunked with both hands!

Harden, who landed after the goal, raised his arms and roared.

How long has it been since the Staples Center ushered in such an exciting lob dunk?
Randolph and Xiaojia are both floor-savvy, even if you ask them to play stewardess, they won't be able to play.

Although Curry is known as the Clippers dunk king, he has not shown his dunk ability in actual combat.

Balang is getting old, and Ricky has changed to 3D to change his ways and stop playing.

Now here comes Harden, with two consecutive dunks, igniting the atmosphere at home.

Young people have good physical strength, they can play, they can play, they can play.

The point difference was caught up to only 1 point, and the Clippers' offensive talent in the backcourt was amazing.

It was Roy who stood out for the Blazers at the moment, and used a mid-range distance from the top of the arc to re-stabilize the situation.

However, the Clippers' offense began to play out, and it was difficult for the Blazers to completely suppress the Clippers.

In the middle and late part of the fourth quarter, Dunleavy once again resorted to his own three-guard lineup.

Harden, Curry, Baron Davis, insider Randolph and Gasol Jr.

This is a combination with strong attack power and the most tacit cooperation.

Harden replaced the previous Gordon, and the defense has declined, but the offensive end is more flexible.

The Blazers couldn't find the focus of defense.

When Curry received a pass from Harden at the top of the arc and hit a three-pointer.

The score of the two sides became 97:97, a tie!
The Clippers were overwhelmed by the Trail Blazers for the entire game and tied the score with 2 minutes left in the game.

The game entered the final decisive stage, and Min Congda was in a stable mood.

He knows there will be twists and turns in this game, because the Clippers are already good.

"Damn, the Clippers made 15 turnovers tonight. I'm still optimistic about the Blazers. Roy, you have to work harder, don't make any accidents!"

The critical moment of the game is to be afraid of accidents.

But the accident still happened.

The third thing that surprised McMillan, which is actually not too surprising, is that the referee started to exert force.
