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

Chapter 414 The Perfectionist (Second)
When the second quarter was officially suspended, Min Congda's face was as ugly as if he had eaten shit.

I also expect you to bleed out on the court and let the Blazers tie the score.

Do you really have to hold on tight and not let go?We need to widen the gap a bit.

Should I not pay you wages or sign a contract for you?
Earn so much money in one season, what fate are you playing?
Look at Milicic, who played half a quarter and has a lot of bruises on his arms.

There were bloody holes one after another, some were hit by others, and some were left by him when he bumped into others.

You are not playing basketball, you are playing kickboxing.

During the timeout, Min Congda couldn't help asking Milicic: "Dark, you just called everyone over, what did you say?"

Milicic smiled and said, "I'll just say, I'll give them some color later, so there's no need to be afraid of them."

After speaking, Milicic showed a happy expression on his face.

He has changed a lot since coming to the Clippers.

For example, he grew his hair back.

When he first came into the league, he was a handsome Serbian guy with blond hair.

Later, he also got a flirty oily head, which obviously didn't suit him very well.

After going through many teams, he shaved his hair and turned it into a round inch.

But Yuan Cun didn't make him look energetic, on the contrary he became even more depressed.

Now, Milicic has grown his hair again and combed it neatly.

Not showy, not decadent, just a normal hairstyle.

It can be seen that he is very happy in the Clippers and everything is fine.

Min Congda felt bad, but he couldn't help it. The timeout ended and the main players reappeared.

Curry rested from the midway through the first quarter and didn't return until midway through the second quarter.

The disadvantage is that the fiery feeling has cooled down, and the advantage is that the physical energy is really full.

The main players of the Clippers obviously held back their energy off the court.

After re-appearing, it will be a high-intensity offense and defense.

This Blazers player is a bit too much.

High-intensity confrontation, generally a game will not last too long.

Even if it is a top team, it usually takes a few minutes of high intensity to take the lead.

Then relax the intensity, seesaw on both sides, you and me one by one.

At the critical moment, no matter how high the intensity is, it will be taken away in one wave.

This is called the rhythm of the game.

The intensity has been high, and no one can bear it.

Unless it is a very important game, such as the tiebreaker of the finals.

That kind will start in the first round and keep gritting your teeth until the end.

What about the Clippers?Curry and the others had nowhere to vent their pent-up energy.

Originally, the offseason was full of choking, the first game of the new season, the first half of the first quarter and then rested.

So back in the middle of the second quarter, the team's style changed, and then suddenly speeded up!
Hit the Blazers by surprise, a wave of 10:2 climax.

The Blazers were beaten into the circle, 56:40, and the point difference was suddenly opened to 16 points.

Anyone who has ever run knows that long-distance running at a constant speed can run a long distance after passing the pole.

But if the rhythm is disrupted in the middle of the run, or if you have to run at a variable speed, you will soon be unable to persist.

Now the Blazers are being driven by the Clippers to run at a variable speed, and the rhythm is too much to bear!
McMillan was speechless, what kind of routine was Smart on the opposite side?
The start is 8:0, I haven't suspended you yet.

Then he came off the bench, and after a dozen and a half quarters, the pass-and-cut offense turned into a fierce defense with rushing for offensive rebounds.

It was easy for the Blazers players to adapt to this ferocious routine, and when the main players came back, they started to pass and cut and walk the dog again!
Who can bear this, over and over again, being led by the nose.

The Blazers' lineup is inherently patchwork.

Crawford, Felton and others are all new players.

The tacit understanding of the players is insufficient, and the understanding of the coach's tactics is not deep enough.

The rhythm of the game was chaotic, and I didn't know how to play at all.

McMillan could only call a timeout and readjust the tactical layout.

Min Congda didn't want to talk anymore during the timeout.

All of you can't do it, so fight as you like.

Steve Kerr looked at Min Congda silently, with a dull expression on his face.

Asked: "Mr. Smart, do you have anything to say?"

Min Congda said: "What can I say, I think you played pretty well."

Min Congda's words sounded like a compliment, but because of the wrong tone, it made everyone feel weird.

Curry, Harden and others looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering if there is still a problem with our fight?
From the beginning to the end, Min Congda's complexion never looked good.

The first quarter started 8:0, and being able to call a timeout to scold everyone is enough to show how strict Smart is.

Harden began to reflect on himself, "I just made two turnovers. I really need to pay more attention to my passing."

Curry also thought, "Am I being sloppy with my shots? And my defense, damn it, still won't keep up."

Cole also felt that Min Congda was acting weird, so he said loudly to the players:

"Don't think you can relax with these leads! The opponent just hasn't found the rhythm of the game yet! Our defense is still not good enough, and the inside gives the opponent a lot of opportunities, but their offense tonight doesn't feel good."

What Cole said is actually correct. After the main force came on the field, the defense was really not as strong as the five substitutes just now.

Gasol and Randolph's movement speed has been flawed.

More importantly, Ricky Davis at the third position, he worked very hard, and the transition was considered a success.

But after all, he is getting old, he has become a monk halfway through, and he is not from a defensive background, so many defensive habits are not good.

As a supplement for Randolph and Gasol Jr., Ricky Davis is gradually not enough.

Therefore, Cole can also understand why Min Congda chose Leonard and Butler.

Just to make up for the lack of the third position, it is really far-sighted.

Cole said something, and said to Min Congda: "Do you want to replace George?"

George has yet to get a chance to play tonight.

Seeing Leonard and Butler, both first-years, played for a while.

He, a senior in the second grade, didn't play for a minute, and he felt somewhat unhappy.

What about the agreed 15-man rotation?I'm not one in fifteen?

Min Congda nodded as if giving up, and said, "Let him go."

So George replaced Ricky Davis.

George, who held back for a quarter and a half of the game, finally got a chance to play.

As soon as he played, a big cap was given to Wallace from the inside!
This ability to assist defense and supplement defense is indeed not comparable to Ricky Davis.

Run faster, jump higher, and have better defensive awareness.

Then in the counterattack, George made a feint from the outside and shook the defender away.

He broke into the basket with the ball and succeeded in a one-armed dunk!
The resentment accumulated on the bench was vented in the dunk!
The entire Clippers bench stood up to cheer George's dunk.

Only Min Congda remained silent and expressionless, which made Cole, Kim Hughes and others afraid to make a sound.

They never expected that coach Smart, who is kind and friendly on weekdays, would be so harsh and critical when coaching games.

Sure enough, great coaches are all perfectionists!
At the end of the half game, the Clippers led the Blazers by 62 points 44:18.
