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

Chapter 280 Is the Right Choice (Second Update)
The role of the superstar is undoubtedly displayed in the second quarter.

No matter what the gossip is in the summer, Anthony is still a Nuggets player after all, and the Pepsi Center is still his home court.

In the third quarter, Anthony maintained his excellent touch in the second quarter. He hit two consecutive three-pointers at the beginning of the second half, helping the Nuggets widen the point difference in one fell swoop.

Once a superstar enters the state, it is indeed very scary.

The system and tactics arranged by the coach may fail.

Min Congda is not only glad that he persuaded LeBron James to stay in the Cavaliers in the summer.

It would be too bad if James insisted on coming to the Clippers and he couldn't refuse.

The improvement to this Clippers must have been huge.

The difference between the two sides in the third quarter gradually came to double digits.

Seeing that the Clippers are about to reap another loss today.

Min Congda is very proud. Last season, the Clippers made a lot of mistakes in the playoffs.

As long as his luck is a little bit better, with his operation, the Clippers will lose one game after another.

The five-game losing streak is waving at the Clippers.

However, in the second half of the third quarter, James Harden came off the bench.

Partnered with Bledsoe in the backcourt and scored consecutively from the outside.

Harden and Bledsoe partner, and the style of partnering with Curry is different.

Harden sees Westbrook in Bledsoe.

As long as Bledsoe has the opportunity, give him the ball, he can go to the basket and score.

With Harden's assist, Bledsoe scored 6 points in a row, catching up with the score.

Then, Harden also hit two consecutive three-pointers from the outside.

One arc top, one left 45 degrees, all strong shots!

Harden's three-pointers are not stable, with a hit rate of about 30.

But when the hand feeling came, it was also unstoppable.

The two young men led the Clippers to a 14:3 offensive shock wave.

At the end of the third quarter, the two sides tied 88:88.

Seeing such a scene, Min Congda was sitting on pins and needles, stuffing popcorn into his mouth in handfuls.

What's the situation, this game is too exciting, and it's tied again in half a quarter!
Don't panic, just eat two popcorns to suppress your shock.

While not panicking, Min Congda was also rationally analyzing the changes of the Clippers in this game.

He could see that the Clippers coaching staff still didn't realize what was wrong with the team's defensive end.

It is the lack of efficiency when facing the pick-and-roll defense, fighting independently, without a unified strategy.

This is a common problem of some head coaches in the last era, who did not pay special attention to the construction of the overall defensive strategy.

For example, George Karl, don't look at his ferocious oppressive defense based on the amoeba defense in the Sonics.

Later, when he went to the Bucks and Nuggets, he was known for not practicing defense. He felt that it was enough for players to have good personal defensive ability and basic awareness.

The golden period of the players of these coaches is generally in the 70s and 80s. At that time, the league's defense was full of small skills and insufficient big strategies.

Now all kinds of small skills and small strategies have basically been developed to the end, and there is nothing new.

The test of the head coach is how to plan these strategies, let the players work under a unified defensive strategy, and contain the opponent's offense as a whole.

This new thing is gradually becoming popular in the league, and the Clippers currently have no such trend.

Min Congda has been keenly aware of this trend, but he is not going to discuss it with Dun Levy.

Isn't this a betrayal of yourself?How can you teach old Deng new things?
But in this game against the Nuggets, the Nuggets are not good at pick-and-roll offense.

And tonight, Nene and Kenyon Martin are absent, and the Nuggets don't have a good screener.

Therefore, the Nuggets' offense is still centered on Anthony's horns.

Combined with Billups' high-position offensive combing, create offensive opportunities by opening up space and running.

To put it bluntly, it is still an old routine, and the Clippers are naturally more comfortable facing the old routine.

When the fourth quarter started, the problem of the Nuggets' lack of two generals in the interior was further magnified.

Randolph began to play his role steadily -- he only got 10 points in the first three quarters.

It was still 20 points away from his 10+10 check-in after get off work, so under Harden's feed, Randolph made consecutive inside attacks and hit the basket.

The Nuggets had no better way to deal with it except fouls, and the Clippers took the lead.

However, Anthony's touch is really overwhelming tonight, and Ricky Davis can hardly limit Anthony.

45-degree singles, after a breakthrough, he stormed the basket, and made a three-pointer from the left corner.

Anthony scored consecutive points again in the fourth quarter. With 3 minutes left before the end of the game, Anthony had already scored 40 points!
The two sides also drew 105:105, which is destined to be a high-scoring game.

At this time, the psychological quality and desire to win of the players on both sides began to be tested.

Seeing that the popcorn was gone, Min Congda said to Ada, "Ada, go and buy me another bucket of popcorn."

Ada said: "Mr. Smart, you have eaten two barrels."

Min Congda said: "Is it all I eat? I also ate Curry's shit!"

Min Congda bought popcorn, but he couldn't eat enough. Curry turned around and stuffed it into his mouth from time to time.

Let's eat, let's eat, when you come back from injury, you will gain more than ten pounds and see how you can dunk.

Because he couldn't eat delicious popcorn at the Staples Center, Min Congda simply didn't buy it.

When you come to the Nuggets' home court, you must satisfy your hunger and have a good time.

Watching games without eating popcorn is not only less fun, but also less of a deterrent to referees.

You see, the referee's whistle for this game was very fair and impartial, without much controversy.

When Ida went to buy popcorn, the Clippers paused, and Dunleavy rearranged the tactics on the court.

"Take Cameron! Put more pressure on him, but watch out for Billups."

Dunleavy finally decided to double-team Anthony.

We have been guarding against each other all the time, just waiting here.

In terms of employment, Dunleavy replaced Bledsoe with Paul George.

In this way, Harden holds the ball on the court, and Paul George and Ricky Davis partner at the second and third positions to limit Anthony.

It has to be said that after Min Congda's development and support, Lao Deng has become more and more eclectic in terms of employment.

No matter you are young or veteran, no matter what your position is, you can use it whenever you think of it, and experiment with various combinations.

Nearing the end of his coaching career, Lao Deng himself felt that he was getting more and more crazy, and there was a tendency to head towards Old Nelson.

Min Congda saw Lao Deng's adjustment and thought, "Old Deng is so whimsical. Paul George, a soft guy, is still going up to defend Anthony? Don't be blown away."

In Min Congda's impression, Paul George has never woken up, and he is not particularly passionate in training and games.

In the last few games, George's performance on the court can only be said to be very ordinary, and has no decisive impact on the game situation.

It's not like Curry, he made a key three-pointer and had a lore assist in the first game.

After that, the game got better and better, until now Min Congda had to find a way to keep him on the bench to eat popcorn.

Min Congda felt that he had made the right choice in this draft.
