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

Chapter 410 Replacing Curry (Part [-])
Min Congda's timeout stunned everyone.

Players are fooled, fans are fooled, commentators are fooled, and referees are fooled.

If you want to call a timeout, the Blazers call it a timeout. Your Clippers have a small climax at 8:0. What do you call a timeout?
What's the matter, do you still want to show off?Or is Curry going to retire and replace him?
The Clippers players are a little unsure, are we playing well?How do you call it suspended.

Mardos came over to confirm with Min Congda: "Did you call the timeout?"

Min Congda coughed lightly, and replied with some embarrassment: "Yes, I called the timeout, I...I have some tactics to arrange."

After confirming that it was Min Congda who called the timeout, Mardos blew his whistle twice and reported to the technical desk for confirmation.

So, the Clippers players returned to the bench with question marks all over their heads, not even sweating much.

The opening state was so good, 8:0, why did they suddenly call a timeout?

The whole team stared at Min Congda, wanting to see what was going on, and Min Congda really wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in.

Seeing the Blazers playing so poorly, Min Congda was impatient. How can he play with such a broken defense and game rhythm?
So he accidentally called a timeout for the Blazers and made a big oolong.

The traitor's identity was almost exposed.

However, Min Congda has a thick skin and excellent psychological quality. Without changing his face, he said sharply: "8:0, the start is indeed good, but are you really doing a good job in defense? When Aldridge was attacking with the ball, no one went Interfere? Let him just eat casually, because he didn't score, but will he still be unable to score?"

"Before the start of the game, I deliberately didn't set up a defense. I just wanted to see your defensive awareness and how the defensive details are doing. The result? It didn't feel good to rely on the opponent to attack. I played a few simple counterattacks. Is it all right? Full of complacency? I called this timeout to remind you, never relax! Do you have to wait until the score is behind before calling a timeout?"

"I'm telling you, if the score is behind, you can fight on your own. I won't call a timeout for you if you are exhausted on the court."

During the short timeout of 20 seconds, Min Congda beat him up and scolded the Clippers players.

The faces of the originally ignorant Clippers players became serious. It turned out that Mr. Smart's previous relaxation was all fake.

He is to test the self-discipline of the players.

Before the game started, Min Congda did not make any arrangements.

Players just play by habit and feel.

The opening defense is indeed relatively loose. Who will go all out in the first quarter of the first game of the season?

Unexpectedly, Min Congda's demands were so strict, and everyone became even more nervous.

The timeout ends, the two sides return to the court, and the game continues.

Min Congda let out a long sigh of relief, finally fooling around.

Be careful when calling a timeout next, don't just call out when the Blazers are not playing well.

As for the Blazers, McMillan originally wanted to wait another round.

If he doesn't score again and is hit back by the Clippers, he will call a timeout.

Dude, you called a timeout before I called a timeout, thank you.

Last season was no small blow for McMillan.

At the beginning of the season, he was full of confidence and believed that the Blazers would have a lot to do.

It turned out so-so, with some good games played, but a less-than-desirable finish.

In the end, only some regrets and memories were left to the fans.

Things have gotten worse for the Blazers this season, and Roy's retirement is a huge loss.

Oden has no hope, and the 800 million contract rights should be the last thought and affection.

For these players signed in the new season, after less than a month of running-in, it depends on God's will how they can play.

Of course, it's not enough to say that these players are bad. Felton, Crawford, and Wallace still have their personal abilities.

After returning to the field after the timeout, Wallace broke through the basket with the ball and made a layup that caused Gasol to foul and go to the free throw line.

With two free throws, the Blazers scored their first point of the season.

McMillan is strict in running the army and is a coach who can guarantee the team's lower limit.

The Blazers, who were playing at home, gradually stabilized their position and began to score in order to narrow the point difference.

The Clippers were interrupted by a timeout by Min Congda, and Randolph's low-post offense missed.

The Blazers counterattacked, Felton broke through and scored the ball, Wallace broke through again, Gasol did not dare to foul, and watched Wallace score two more points.

Little Gasol couldn't help but looked towards the sidelines. His defense must have dissatisfied Mr. Smart, right?
Fortunately, Min Congda's face remained unchanged as he sat there, as if he wasn't particularly unhappy.

Harden holds the ball from the outside, Gasol Jr. responds in a high position, and cooperates with Harden at the top of the arc.

Curry ran through the baseline and easily got a chance in the corner.

When Harden got the ball, Curry swayed the defender away with a fake move, walked the bottom line to break through and hit a two-pointer.

The Clippers' offensive position is open and closed, Curry's running ability is extremely strong, and Harden and Xiaojia have a wide field of vision.

Randolph nailed the ribs and horns like a nail, and Curry had two containment points, one inside and one outside.

If the Clippers can do more at the [-]rd position, this offense is beautiful.

At this time, George, Leonard, and Jimmy Butler were sitting on the Clippers' bench.

After the three immature young people came to the Clippers, they felt that this place was different from the NBA team they imagined.

Especially after General Manager Smart became the head coach of the team, the atmosphere in the team is extremely relaxed and free.

Both Leonard and Butler know that to enter a professional team, many things depend on self-discipline.

Unlike universities, coaches will follow your ass and stare at you, urge you to train, and guide you in basic skills.

When you come to the workplace, you must be responsible for yourself. It is your freedom to choose whether to train or indulge.

Of course, when you fall behind and are surpassed, the team also has the freedom to give up on you.

But the atmosphere of the Clippers is too free, and the head coach doesn't see anyone every day.

Just show up on time at noon, and have dinner with everyone in the restaurant.

Eat more than anyone else, move less than anyone else.

They did not speak or give pointers during the training.

It is mainly Cole, Lucas, Kim Hughes and others who arrange the training.

Once the training was over, the head coach slipped away faster than anyone else, and encouraged everyone to go home early for dinner.

However, there are many young players in the Clippers team, and there is a very strong competitive atmosphere.

George, Leonard, and Butler are all small forwards in the same position.

The team's starting small forward is Ricky Davis, whose position is not completely secure, and he is too old to have potential.

The three young men must compete for the post, so they all competed secretly, and the training ended very late every day.

Not to mention Harden, Curry, and even the rats in the training hall. No player in the team went home early.

Including Jeremy Lin, who did not make the team's roster in this game, the training was very hard.

This has created good competition within the Clippers.

Before the game, I heard that the Clippers will have a 15-man team rotation, and each player will have a chance to play.

The three small forwards were eager to try, wondering when it would be their turn to play.

Who will come off the bench first?

At this time, the first quarter entered the middle, and the score on the court came to 17:8.

With Curry hitting a mid-range jumper, the point difference came to 9 points.

Curry scored 10 points alone, and he is in hot form!
Finally, the Blazers called a timeout.

But Min Congda made another surprising decision:

Replace Curry!
