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

Chapter 408 Rotation of 15 people (third update)
The Clippers were hit by a cold snap when they arrived in Portland.

The Clippers players were a little unwell in Washington State's cold winds as they stepped off the plane.

The sunshine in California is too comfortable, while the cold and rainy Portland is not very good for people's emotions and bodies.

Therefore, the Portland Trail Blazers have always been plagued by injury problems in history.

From Bill Walton, to Bowie, to Greg Oden.

Portland has been hurt time and time again by these vulnerable big men.

Last season, the Portlanders achieved a fairly good record, sixth in the Western Conference.

Brandon Roy's shocking performance in the fourth quarter of the fourth game of the first round will surely be recorded in NBA history.

However, Portland's injury curse reappeared.

It was December 12 last year, the day after Christmas.

Brandon Roy announced his retirement on the Trail Blazers official website.

A shooting guard who blew up the Quartet in the playoffs half a year ago.

At only 27 years old, he has not yet reached the peak age of a player.

He retired directly, which is enough to show how serious his injury is.

After all, both knee menisci had been removed from both of his legs.

No one knows how important the knee is to an athlete.

The meniscus serves as a buffer between the femur and the calf bone, without which the bone is dry grinding.

It's terrible to think about how much damage this will do to the human body.

Roy can finish the 11th season, and it is a miracle that he led the Blazers to win two victories from the champion Mavericks.

Without Roy, Oden still shows no signs of improvement.

Before the start of the new season, the Blazers and Oden signed a one-year, 1 million contract.

It is considered to be the last chance for Oden. If he still cannot recover and play normally, the Blazers will definitely give up on him.

This potential center who once brought many fantasies to many people will be completely destroyed by injuries.

Min Congda and the Clippers players who were shivering from the freezing rain arrived at the hotel, and then began to study the team's starting lineup and rotation list.

Although Min Congda pursued the work spirit of putting on bad sheep after becoming the head coach, the basic work still needs to be done.

Therefore, he must be much busier than being the general manager alone.

Seeing that the Blazers lost Roy and that Oden hadn't returned from injury, Min Congda felt unbalanced.

"Why do other players get injured and get reimbursed for the season at every turn, and some of them will retire directly! Curry, when will you retire?"

Min Congda wished that Curry would retire on the spot and be pulled down.

Unexpectedly, after Curry underwent surgery to treat his ankle early last season, he is extremely healthy.

Xia Tian has carried out reasonable rehabilitation treatment again, and his physical condition is very good.

Not only is Curry in good condition, but if you look at the Clippers' injury list, you will be pleasantly surprised to find:
No one!empty!

The Clippers team has maintained good health.

There is no other reason, because the rest is good.

Last season, everyone on the Clippers team played with the ball, with 11 players in rotation and [-] players in rotation at every turn.

During the off-season and the lockout period, many players were unwilling to be lonely or short of money, and went to work in other leagues.

Like Deron Williams, JR-Smith and others.

On the plus side, this keeps players in shape.

On the downside, playing games takes a toll on the body after all.

And none of the Clippers players went to other countries to play in the league to earn extra money.

Life in the Clippers is very comfortable, and everyone knows that there is no need to worry about contract issues in the new season.

They are all well adjusted and ready for the next season.

Then after the lockout ended, other teams hurriedly prepared for the new season.

Min Congda herded the sheep again, and did not increase the intensity of the crowd, avoiding injuries.

As a result, the Clippers' health was surprisingly good.

Looking at the roster of 15 people, they are all bearded and tailed, and none of them are missing arms or legs.

Min Congda was in a dilemma, how should the starting lineup be arranged, and how should the rotation be handled?
Of course, Min Congda wants the five worst players to start, and line up a lineup of Okafor, Bonner, PJ-Tucker, Fisher and Jeremy Lin.

But the system doesn't allow it. It's too unreasonable for you to do it like this, it's too obvious that it's bad, and it's not decent at all.

He has tried other permutations and combinations. Basically, there are five players including Randolph, Gasol Jr., Curry, Harden, and Ricky Davis. Only when at least three of them are present, the system will think that your starting is reasonable.

Especially Randolph and Gasol Jr. can't be shaken. If you don't let them start, the system will fake the word [the starting lineup is unreasonable].

The angry Min Congda thought to himself, "You can be the coach of the fuck! You can be the coach!"

But there was no way, the system was the largest, so in the end Min Congda compromised.

The starter is still the five-man team of Curry, Harden, Xiaojia, Randolph and Ricky Davis.

Min Congda thought about the rotation, and said to Cole and others: "Since we follow the principle that everyone has the ball to play, we must stick to it! Every player must give them a chance to play and form a good and harmonious atmosphere." team atmosphere.”

"Other teams usually have an 8-man rotation and a 9-man rotation. I decided that we will have a 15-man rotation!"

Cole and others heard, Mr. Smart, are you crazy?

15 people rotate, do you play football?Still playing football?
There are 5 people on the basketball court, 48 minutes a game, and 10 people are already very scarce.

15 people, divided into three groups, with an average of 16 minutes per person?

Impossible, players need a certain amount of time to come out of the game.

The time is too short and too fragmented, which is seriously not conducive to the players' performance on the spot.

Especially outside shooters, without a certain amount of shots to improve their touch, it is very likely that they will not be able to shoot accurately in a game.

Jin Hughes said: "Mr. Smart, don't be joking, everyone with 15 people will not be able to play well."

Cole said: "That's right, the 10-man rotation in the regular season is the ultimate. I think it's pretty good to use Fisher, George, Milicic and Okafor as substitutes. Bonner, Tucker, Dragic Odd can play in certain games. Kawhi Leonard, Jimmy Butler, Jeremy Lin, they remain to be seen..."

Min Congda shook his head and insisted: "It is my principle to rotate 15 people. Everyone has been playing with the ball for 2 years, and this year it will really land!"

"Besides, I'm not letting 15 people share the time equally. It depends on everyone's performance, right?"

When Min Congda said this, everyone had nothing to do with it. Anyway, the assistant coach only had the right to suggest and execute.

The real decision is in the hands of the head coach.

Although Min Congda acted arbitrarily and only wanted the Clippers to lose.

But in terms of the team's tactical arrangements, he still leaves it to Cole and Kim Hughes.

The basic appearance still needs to be done, and Min Congda knows that he has strong technical and tactical skills, so he doesn't want to get involved in it.

When it comes to the game, he will turn into a substitution machine, whoever is in good condition will be replaced!
