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

Chapter 313 A United Team (Fifth)

The betrayal in Min Congda's mouth is naturally a betrayal of himself.

In order not to give ideas to the Clippers' offensive and defensive tactics, recently, in addition to not watching the Clippers' games, he has not participated in much of the Clippers' training.

I'm afraid that if I accidentally say something wrong, and give the Clippers some good advice, let Cole and Lao Deng do whatever they want.

But after watching the first quarter, the Clippers' defensive details got better and better, and there were some special things on the offensive end that caught Min Congda's attention.

"Is this the pass-and-cut offensive system created by Cole? It doesn't feel like playing according to the routine. Although the 1-4 position starts, the backhand is different. It's not a simple backcourt cut to the basket. Instead, set up a second support point for receiving the ball at the two waist positions, usually Baron Davis, and if he comes off the bench later, it will probably be Harden? Randolph also has this ability."

"Take the one-on-one local advantage of the waist as the pivot point, and then start the reverse run and air cut. This...how does this feel a bit like a triangle offense? What did Cole practice this month?"

Min Congda saw the shadows of pass and cut and triangle offense respectively from the Clippers' offense.

And in terms of screen support, the Clippers are not limited to the two points of Gasol Jr. and Randolph.

Both George and Davis can participate in the cover, and provide cover and support for other people anytime, anywhere.

Although Ricky Davis and George didn't finish very well, Ricky also had two pass errors in the first quarter.

But because of this awareness, the Clippers' offensive passing is quite smooth, as smooth as using Kaiserol.

"This... What kind of pass and cut is this? But it seems to be a pass and cut. It doesn't matter, although the attack is very smooth, but this kind of attack will definitely not be able to fight a tough battle!"

Min Congda watched a section and said that the Clippers could not fight tough battles.

But looking at the score, the Clippers led the Bucks by 29 points at 15:14 in the first quarter.

If the Clippers want to win this game, it is estimated to be a big victory.

In fact, in the previous games, the Clippers took the lead in several games.

As a result, it was reversed by the opponent in the fourth quarter, because the team's tactics were still not proficient enough.

At the same time, in order to pursue the fluency of cooperation, excessive passing leads to increased mistakes, which is also a major reason for being overturned.

In the game against the Mavericks, the Clippers once led their opponents by 15 points, but were finally reversed by the Dallas People's Congress.

This shows that the upper limit of the Clippers' offensive and defensive tactics is very high. What is lacking is running-in, what is lacking is tacit understanding, what is lacking is the growth of players' personal abilities, and what is lacking most is Curry.

Curry made his debut in the second quarter. Before going on the court, he touched his right ankle and let out a long sigh of relief.

When he stepped onto the playing field, there was a huge cheer.

In the front row of the Staples Center tonight, you can see many Hollywood stars, all of whom are here to see Curry come back.

As a second-year rookie, his popularity can be imagined, and it also proves how much the title of the champion is worth.

Although Curry's performance in his rookie season was excellent, he was not yet phenomenal. If he played in Milwaukee and was not the No. [-] pick, he would not receive such treatment when he came back.

After more than two months of rest, Curry is in good physical condition, but he is a little tight. After the first catch, he missed a three-pointer from the outside.

Then in defense, Curry fought hard against his opponent, obviously his body was stronger than before the injury.

During this period of time, he did not relax his fitness training at all, and he still started to practice upper body strength every morning.

This habit has persisted since last season's rookie training camp until today, rain or shine, and injuries.

Curry ushered in the first goal soon, he circled Milicic on the outside and cut inside.

Harden, standing at the left corner, hit the ground and slammed into the basket, and Curry caught the ball and made an easy layup.

Min Congda trembled when he saw the ball, for fear that Curry would sprain his ankle again.

Although Curry's injury is beneficial to him, he doesn't want to see his friend suffer from injury.

Min Congda was very contradictory in his heart. He thought to himself: "Should I find an excuse to send Curry to the Development League? Let him play a few games in the Development League to find his status? Save yourself from drilling around on the court, just look at it." I'm upset!"

Generally, the Development League delegates marginal players who have no ball to play, so that they can maintain their form.

The main players who come back from injury are sometimes sent to the Development League to practice and recover.

Min Congda thought about letting Curry go to the Development League to dominate, you are good at it, go to rule the Development League, don't come to trouble me and cause me trouble.

In just 5 minutes of playing time, Curry showed a pretty good competitive state.

He ran tirelessly, to the rim, to the corner, and messed up the Bucks' defense.

In addition to a successful layup from the empty cut basket, Curry also received an assist from Harden in the right corner and made a three-pointer!
The kid feels great.

Steve Kerr, who was sitting on the bench, was very excited to see Curry's performance in five minutes.

"Yes, yes, this is the most important piece of the puzzle in my system, Curry, Stephen Curry!"

Cole has repeatedly adjusted the Clippers' pass-and-cut offensive system recently. He didn't follow the dogma, and he must play according to a certain routine.

He first kept instilling the concepts of passing and running to the players, and then led the players to practice some classic tactical routines.

On the basis of classic routines, set up some defensive scenarios and let the players discuss and imagine solutions by themselves.

For example, how to double-team the ball at the top of the arc?What is the next step when the air cut fails?What if the back run at the bottom line is perfectly rotated by the opponent?
Players participate in it and figure out their own solutions, just like a teacher teaching difficult problems in class. The problem-solving methods taught by the teacher are not always as impressive as those they figured out by themselves.

The Clippers' young players are all players with high golf quotient, like Harden and Gasol Jr., there are often three or four solutions to their tactics at the beginning of the season.

Now under the guidance of Cole, this number has increased to five or six, in short, all kinds of situations can be dealt with.

Of course, if Min Congda were to solve it, at least he would be able to solve it in seven or eight ways, and maybe he could come up with some new solutions creatively.

After a short period of training and running-in, the Clippers' offense is very obvious, but the Clippers lack an off-ball master in the backcourt, which makes the tactics a little lame.

And Curry is undoubtedly the most powerful leg.

After playing for 5 minutes in the second quarter, it ended at a pinch point. Lao Deng didn't dare to let Curry stay longer for 1 minute.

In 5 minutes, Curry scored 5 points, sent 2 assists, and 1 steal, which is quite good.

The Clippers led the Bucks by 67 points at halftime 53:14, with excellent offense and defense.

Dangerous signals kept ringing in Min Congda's mind.

By the second half of the third quarter, the sirens were raised to the top.

On one defense, backup Curry defends the screen.

Bogut, who was being made into a wall, was hit on the brow bone with an elbow, bleeding out.

The team doctor quickly treated Curry's injury, because he had an ankle injury. In order to prevent further brutal treatment, Lao Deng directly asked Curry to go back to the locker room.

In response, Milicic, who also came off the bench, dunked Bogut along the pick-and-roll and dunked the ball. At the same time, he "accidentally" hit Bogut's nose with an elbow during the dunk, knocking his nose bone crooked. .

Bogut, who had a nosebleed, had to end the game for treatment.

Although Milicic ate ​​a technical foul, he won the cheers of the fans.

He won the affirmation of the audience with his tough counterattack.

The morale of the Clippers team reached a peak.

"Such a team with smooth offense, smart defense, and unity to the outside world is a strong team at first glance!"

"But how did things become like this again!"
