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

Chapter 310 Being a father is not easy (the second watch, and the third night)

When Min Congda received the call from James, he was having a short pre-match meeting with the players and coaching staff in the Clippers locker room.

The Clippers also have a very important game to play on this day, against the Milwaukee Bucks.

The important point is not the opponent, but that Stephen Curry will return from injury early after nearly three months of rest!

After hearing the news from the team doctor, Min Congda felt more uncomfortable than the Air Force. Even if the Air Force couldn't catch any fish, it would be fun, or even catch something else.

Does this Curry comeback do him any good?

Not only has the strength of the Clippers been restored, but Min Congda has lost a partner for dinner every day.

While Curry was recovering from his injuries, Min Congda would go to Curry's house from time to time to have a meal and bring a fish he caught by the way.

Min Congda's idea is to eat more with Curry and let him gain weight crazily during this period of no competition and no training.

When he recovers from injury, he will become an overweight primary school student, and his competitive state may plummet.

Who knows that this foodie can't get fat no matter what, and because he often eats high-quality protein such as sea fish, the wound heals very well.

A month in advance, the team doctor said that he could come back, which made Min Congda very depressed and couldn't stop him.

Having not played for most of the season, Curry has already had itchy hands, and even the King of Heaven can't stop him from coming back.

Watching his teammates play on the court, Curry wanted to fight with them very much.

Second, seeing the Clippers formulate a new tactical strategy, everyone is running in and making progress. He can only watch from the sidelines, anxious.

However, Steve Kerr talked with Curry privately and said that with his basic skills and tactical awareness, he has no problem under the new system.

"Even better because the system was built for you and you were born for it."

Hearing this sentence, Curry was very excited. He thought it was made by Mr. Smart for him.

With this eager willingness to come back, Min Congda can only agree that Curry has already started to participate in team training a few days ago.

Curry will come off the bench tonight for his first game back with the Clippers.

Min Congda emphasized in the short meeting before the game: "Curry can only play 10 minutes in tonight's game, and can't exceed one second! Lao Deng, if you exceed one second, I will pull out 1 hairs of your hair."

Dunleavy smiled wryly, and said, "Then I accidentally let Curry play the entire game, and I will contribute all my hair to you."

There was laughter in the locker room, and everyone's mentality was still very relaxed, even if the Clippers' current record is not particularly ideal.

After signing Steve Kerr, the Clippers did not seem to usher in a reborn.

They had a so-so record in January, beating the Lakers and losing to the Rockets.

The longest winning streak is 2 consecutive victories, and the longest losing streak is 2 consecutive losses.

In short, it gives people the feeling that they are not up or down, half dead, as if they have lost the style of last season.

Coupled with Curry's injury, the team's box office was affected to a certain extent, and general manager Smart didn't do much.

The team's sense of presence in the league suddenly decreased a lot, and people's attention continued to focus on the Lakers, the rising Bulls, Heat, and Cavaliers in the East.

Their current record is 21 wins and 26 losses, ranking No. 12 in the West, and there is a distance from the playoffs.

This result and ranking, Min Congda felt both stable and unstable.

Let's be honest, the competition in the West is as fierce as ever, and a 50% winning rate in the top eight is definitely necessary.

According to the Clippers' current posture of winning two games and losing three games, it is impossible to enter the playoffs.

It's not safe to say, Min Congda always feels that the current situation seems familiar.

He was hovering on the edge of the playoffs last season, and suddenly there was a rumor that he was going to die.

Then everyone was like chicken blood, playing desperately to win, and carried the Clippers into the playoffs.

He was very moved by the players' spirit of giving their all for him, but you really want me to die.

This season, he vaguely felt that someone was talking about him behind his back, but it had no effect on his record.

Min Congda didn't care about them anymore, you can say whatever you like.

It was Curry's early comeback that disrupted his rhythm and plan.

He was thinking about how to minimize Curry's influence when his phone rang.

Seeing that it was James calling, Min Congda was startled, and hurriedly left the locker room to answer the phone.

In fact, calls from players from other teams are not a big deal at all. We are competitors but not enemies.

To put it bluntly, after leaving the arena, everyone is a colleague who works in a super large entertainment company, and it is normal to communicate and get close in private.

But Min Congda is not normal. He has a ghost in his heart. As the general manager of the Clippers, he does nothing all day long and does not contribute to the team's construction, but gives advice and coaches to other teams every day.

Isn't this a blatant act of eating inside and outside, a spy and a traitor?

So Min Congda had a guilty conscience, answered the phone in a low voice, and dismissed James first with a few words.

Hanging up the phone, he thought to himself: "What is this Cavaliers coaching staff doing? Mike Brown? It's really useless. But it's good that such useless people come to our team."

Min Congda is thinking about Mike Brown again. The black coach's several seasons with James can be described as mixed.

He got the best coach, but he is also known as James' follower. He only plays around James without any outstanding tactics.

After hanging up the phone, Min Congda thought about some key points for the Cavaliers to beat the Heat.

Although the Heat's troika is strong, the three lack sufficient links and are prone to fall into a state of fighting on their own.

Especially Gay, who needs the ball but is not mature enough, and his scoring efficiency is relatively low.

Also, the Heat's inside line is too weak, Bosh's offensive power is strong, but his defense is average, and his body is not thick enough.

Jermaine O'Neal is no longer the courage of the past, and he can only barely support the inside line, otherwise Riley would not have to sign Dampier.

Haslem is hard-working and lacks stature. Once the Heat encounter a tall insider, they will suffer a lot.

Before the Heat and the Clippers fought, Randolph and Gasol almost didn't kill the Heat inside.

The Heat's strength lies in their excellent perimeter defense, strong pressure, and sharp counterattacks after defensive steals.

There is also outstanding personal ability. Under high-intensity confrontation, Wade and Bosh can rely on the personal ability of Wade and Bosh to solve the game.

After thinking for a while, Min Congda gave three suggestions:

1. Put Gay in the position to attack and let him play more singles.

2. Rush to grab offensive rebounds and give the Heat less opportunities for fast break counterattacks.

3. Reduce the conduction of the outside line, play more inside lines, and feed more balls to the inside lines.

After editing the text message and sending it to James, Min Congda sighed, thinking that being a father is not easy.
