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

Chapter 289 There Are Traitors (Part [-])
Min Congda hasn't paid much attention to the Clippers' games recently.

While traveling outside, he was happy and happy, while watching other teams' games live on TV.

For example, the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Cavaliers played quite well this season.

After keeping James, they rebuilt the team's lineup structure under Min Congda's secret suggestion.

Sent Waiters away and got the taller Ramon Sessions as the master.

The shooting guard boldly used second-round pick Danny Green.

Inside Robin - Lopez, Marcus - Camby, Landry.

Moreover, under the secret guidance of Min Congda, the knights began to play a major and a junior.

The starting lineup of Lopez, James, Miller, Anthony Parker and Sessions has good competitiveness in the East.

Danny Green was sent to the Development League for training, and the Cavaliers wanted to cut this uncharacteristic player.

But James insisted on protecting this little brother, because Min Congda said "such a player has potential", but Min Congda was talking nonsense.

He knows the potential of a fart player, but he just thinks that Green is tall and is a scarce guard for the Cavaliers.

It can be said that as the Clippers retreated steadily in November, Min Congda watched more Cavaliers games than Clippers.

Some post-game articles also began to use the Cavaliers as examples, and sometimes James even called Min Congda to exchange experience and ideas.

Min Congda was still willing to give advice to the Jiedu envoy and adoptive son stationed in Cleveland.

From the perspective of risk, hedging must be done, even if the situation is good, no one knows when the situation will suddenly turn bad.

You see, Min Congda felt something was wrong when he played against the Spurs today.

"Did someone show Lao Deng my tactics article?"

"A traitor must have appeared among us!"

The biggest traitor of the Clippers, suspecting that others are traitors.

In the first quarter, Min Congda was only aware of it, thinking that the Clippers' defense had the shadow of his own theory.

By the time of the second quarter, a defensive strategy of the Clippers convinced Min Congda that there was a traitor!
It is still a pick-and-roll tactic facing the Spurs, a cooperation on the right wing, Parker and McDyess.

The Clippers are still sinking inside, but Harden from the center line came over to double-team.

After double-teaming, Parker immediately passed the ball to McDyess, and McDyess took the ball and wanted to move to the weak side.

He doesn't have the confidence to take Gasol one-on-one, and Richardson on the weak side has a chance because of Ricky's rotation to the middle.

As a result, at the moment McDyess wanted to pass the ball, the Clippers turned from man-to-man defense to 141 zone defense?
This change caught McDyess off guard, and the ball was passed, but the zone defense, isn't it courting death for you to move the ball laterally in a wide range?
The ball was intercepted by Ricky Davis, the ball was given to Harden, Harden quickly counterattacked and hit the basket, a beautiful European step passed the defender, and a layup was made!
At this time, the Clippers were already 37:25, leading the Spurs by 12 points.

The Spurs' invincible pick-and-roll + fast offense in the previous game was broken by the Clippers.

Of course, the Spurs are really in a bad state tonight, they just played against the Golden State Warriors in Oakland yesterday.

So this is a back-to-back away game. It is normal for them to not perform well given the average age of the lineup.

Popovich saw that Parker was not in good shape in the middle of the second quarter. The pick-and-roll was repeatedly broken, and he couldn't push the counterattack.

Simply let Parker rest early and replaced Gary Neal, shifting the tactical focus to the inside again.

Starting with Duncan, Blair, and McDyess' low-post offense, he started playing the traditional inside-out routine.

The Clippers are not afraid of such a routine at all. Milicic, who came off the bench in the third quarter, sent out big caps consecutively, and played the strongest performance of the season on the defensive end.

Because he is a substitute, Milicic does not need to save energy at all, and he is full of energy in 20 minutes.

After three quarters, the Clippers have led the Spurs by as many as 91 points at 65:26, directly blowing out the No. [-] in the Western Conference.

The fourth quarter turned into garbage time, and Popovich also cooperated with the garbage players and stopped resisting.

In the end, the Clippers beat the No. 110 Spurs in the Western Conference at home with a 85:25 advantage of [-] points.

After watching the game, Min Congda only had two thoughts in his mind:

First, "Technical adjustments, don't panic, the Spurs are too tired."

Second, "There are really traitors!"

In addition to the second quarter, the Clippers also used the difficult collective defensive technique of "double-teaming to zone defense" in the middle and late third quarters.

This kind of defense is also specially proposed by Min Congda in the article. He believes that "man-to-man and zone defense can not only be converted in multiple defensive rounds to change the rhythm, but also can be converted in a single defense to confuse the offense. Players to achieve surprise effect."

Once this defensive method is used properly, the effect is outstanding.

Because the player does not have a God's perspective on the field, what he sees is not a high-altitude top view.

If there is a sudden major change in the opponent's defensive strategy, the attacking side's choice will definitely go wrong.

It’s just that Min Congda also pointed out, “This kind of defense requires a high degree of tacit understanding and a lot of training. Once it is used improperly, it will leak a large space and be punished by the opponent. The risk is very high.”

Therefore, such a defensive method requires a lot of training, and at the same time, it cannot be used frequently in games, and the fault tolerance rate is too low.

It can be used suddenly at certain critical moments, which can reverse the situation and attack the opponent.

"Damn it, which traitor leaked the content of my article? Did someone hack into my blog? Or did I leave a draft somewhere else?"

"Or, it was really Lao Deng who came up with it himself?"

Min Congda especially wants to set up an investigation team to investigate the traitors inside the Clippers!

But then I thought about it, if I really checked, wouldn't I be the one who found out in the end?

Forget it, don't search randomly, just think it was Lao Deng who came up with it himself.

And the Clippers can beat the Spurs so badly tonight, there is a certain element of luck.

The fatigue of the Spurs' back-to-back away games, Parker's minor injuries, and the Clippers' team's state of explosion and so on.

Min Congda, who has experienced great storms, knows that game tactics only play a part.

Player status and on-the-spot performance are often more decisive.

However, this incident also reminded Min Congda that some tactical suggestions should not be mentioned indiscriminately.

Especially for the Clippers, some good suggestions can really bring huge changes to the team.

Before, Min Congda had been providing the Clippers with "wrong" tactical advice.

What are the contradictory tactical directions such as giving more ball rights to the outside line, playing slowly with the inside line as the core, etc., which are inconsistent with the trend.

But this kind of tactical direction is still too general, and it may still lead to the right path.

After thinking about it, Min Congdas had another genius idea: "By the way, I can create a tactical system that is completely behind the times and force the Clippers to fight! In this way, they will not go on the right path!"

So, the biggest traitor of the Clippers took a month off and started working again.
