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

Chapter 374 A Person Who Knows the Art of War (Part [-])
Just when the Clippers climbed back from the cliff in the third game relying on some luck.

The Los Angeles Lakers, who are in the same city as the Clippers, have already suffered a catastrophe.

In the third game of the series in Dallas, the Mavericks beat the Lakers 98-92.

A 3:0 lead with a big score has already indicated that the Lakers will be eliminated and the dream of three consecutive championships will be shattered.

Dirk Nowitzki scored 32 points in the game, the highest in the game.

And Kobe played poorly, only 17 points were recorded.

Although he shot 50 percent from the field, 16 shots really wasn't his style.

There was only one free throw, which shows that Kobe played without lethality.

The injury has really affected him too much.

After this battle, the Lakers' journey this season has come to an end.

But Min Congda was so envious, he felt more and more that it was a mistake not to rank sixth in the regular season.

"Next season, if we make it to the playoffs, we can no longer rank eighth, we have to rank sixth..."

"Bah! What kind of playoffs did you make, and you still made it to the playoffs! The NBA is almost gone!"

Min Congda's nerves have been made very sensitive and anxious by the playoffs recently.

The back and forth stimulation made his psychology bear a huge test.

Before the fourth game, he made arrangements and used his authority to adjust the starting lineup and rotation indiscriminately.

This was already the maximum amount of damage he could do as the system allowed.

If you mess around again, the system will give a warning.

However, Min Congda didn't know what the effect would be.

He has always been unique and sharp in watching games, but he has repeatedly made mistakes against his own Clippers.

This may be the so-called doctor who does not heal himself, and cares about it.

Not only Min Congda has no bottom, but the Clippers coaching staff and players have no bottom.

Curry and Ricky Davis have been starters for a season.

Let them return to the substitute position suddenly, can they still get used to it?
What's more terrible is to start James Harden?What arrangement is this?
Double beard combination?

Harden played poorly in the first three games.

Being completely targeted by the Thunder, coach Brooks is obviously familiar with Harden's style of play.

Thunder players also know Harden's playing habits and details.

Ibaka covered Harden in the paint, one block at a time.

Harden didn't even have confidence in the game.

Now let him start?

When the coaching staff announced the starting lineup for Game [-] to the players, everyone was a little surprised.

However, Min Congda greeted Curry in advance and respected the No. [-] pick in the team.

So Curry said that it's okay to play as a substitute, as long as the team can win.

And Ricky Davis is even more conscious, "If it is Mr. Smart's decision, I will definitely obey it."

Ricky Davis is the key to the Clippers' ability to win Game [-].

He who was rebellious at the beginning has now become a brick of the revolution, and he needs to be moved wherever he needs to go.

The Clippers made some important starting changes, but there were no internal conflicts.

Cole couldn't help asking Dunleavy: "Mike, why did you agree so easily when Smart said to change the lineup? I have argued with you for a long time, but you are not moved. And we still won the third game. Ball."

"Don't tell me that he is the general manager, so you just listen to him, regardless of the professionalism of the coach."

Dunleavy spread his hands and said, "That's right, because he is the general manager, so I will listen to him."

But Dunleavy added: "Do you think that without Smart's support, it is possible for you and me on the coaching staff to let the main players give up their starting positions and change the rotation order?"

Cole shook his head. He has been in the league for so many years, and he knows that NBA teams are not as simple as NCAA colleges.

There are too many interests and aspects involved.

For example, if you want a certain star who was originally starting to play as a substitute, let alone the fact that this star can't live up to his own face, is he willing to lower his value and sit back on the bench.

Just talk about the agents and sponsors behind the stars, are they happy?Are broadcasters willing?
The capital will not be happy if the stars cannot start, the data will decline, and the advertising efficiency and endorsement contracts will be affected.

An international player like Ginobili, in a team like the Spurs, can start and switch seamlessly with the sixth man.

Stephen Curry is only in the second grade, and he has a good temper, but Curry is the No. [-] pick after all, and he is the little red man under Nike.

Like LeBron James, if you ask him to play as a substitute in the playoffs, see if he will agree.

In the Clippers, Min Congda can do it without affecting the stability of the team.

Steve Kerr sighed in his heart, Smart's control over the people of the team is really superb.

It's no wonder that Smart never puts pressure on the players' record every day, is generous to the contract, and never picks up searches.

As the saying goes, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while.

The pampering and pampering on weekdays is to be able to enforce orders and prohibit them at critical moments in the playoffs, and work together as one.

Cole has been the general manager for three years, and he is ashamed of himself in this regard. Min Congda's courage and vision are really rare in the league.

"Steve, do you know "Sun Tzu's Art of War"? Smart must be a person who is familiar with the art of war." Dunleavy said.

As a erudite man who knew Song Jiang in "Water Margin", it is normal for Lao Deng to know "Sun Tzu's Art of War".

The coaching staff respected Min Congda from top to bottom. As for whether this change is effective, it can only be verified through the game.

On the night of May 5, the fourth game between the Clippers and the Thunder continued at the Staples Center.

Before the start of the game, Ada looked at Min Congda's haggard face with some concern, and said, "Mr. Smart, you... why are your dark circles so heavy? Did you not sleep well?"

Min Congda yawned and said, "I've been a little sleepless lately, it's okay, when the series is over... well, I'll catch up on sleep in the future."

Min Congda has been under a lot of pressure recently, and he is not at all sure whether he can lose the fourth game.

Ada looked at Min Congda very distressed, thinking that he really broke his heart for the team.

Don’t worry about the team. During this period of time, D’Addario always comes to “harass” Mr. Smart, making him worry and trouble others. That woman doesn’t know how to care about Smart at all, and won’t share his worries .

Before, Ada thought that Min Congda and Daddario had broken up, but later she found out that there was nothing at all, so she was happy for nothing.

As a woman who is fashionable on the outside but quite traditional on the inside, with Sicilian blood, Ada hopes that Min Congda will be good and the Clippers will continue to win.

It's just that as a secretary, an ordinary girl, she has limited abilities and often doesn't know how to help Min Congda.

"Ada, how is your uncle's business recently?" Min Congda suddenly asked with concern.

"Huh? My uncle? His restaurant business is doing very well, and he said he couldn't be more grateful to Mr. Smart."

"It's okay, it's okay, don't be grateful, you go and bring me a pizza, I didn't bring any money."

"It doesn't matter, it will always be free to you."
