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

Chapter 415 Bringing Back a City (Third Change)
At halftime, it stands to reason that the Clippers lead by 18 points, so everyone should be very relaxed.

But the atmosphere in the team is very subtle, because everyone can see that Mr. Smart is not happy.

Of course Min Congda is not happy, how could TM be so violent?

Are the Blazers so vulnerable?The Clippers are so powerful?

He thought it was very unreasonable.

Putting aside the subjective standpoint, jumping out from the identity of the traitor, and watching the first half of the game from the perspective of a ball critic.

The Blazers were obviously brought down by the "messy" rhythm of the Clippers.

Curry's rest in the middle of the first quarter made McMillan's arrangement fall through.

Then, Milicic's bump was a turning point.

The morale of the Clippers began to rise from then on.

Until George's debut dunks, it ended perfectly, and the Blazers were full of question marks.

But in the third quarter, if the Blazers can hold their ground, the situation will not be so ugly.

Min Congda can also be regarded as a "backstab expert", and has a lot of experience in backstabbing.

The Blazers can mess up, but he can't.

Based on his experience of watching games from the sidelines for two seasons and his understanding of basketball, he believes that the Clippers played so well in the first half because of luck.

Generally speaking, large-scale and large-scale rotations are not good for players' performance.

Especially young players like Curry and Harden do not have so much experience in the game.

The skills in the arena are not proficient enough, and they are still in the growth stage, so it takes time to feed them.

Min Congda suddenly let Curry off the field in the first quarter, which has cut off his good sense of the game.

The Clippers were able to lead so much later, mainly because the Blazers were fooled, and the black and white duo penetrated the Blazers inside.

At the beginning of the first quarter, the Clippers' attack like landslides and tsunamis was gone.

In the second half of the second quarter, he caught his opponent off guard, but can he continue to fight like this in the third quarter?
Min Congda who calmed down thought that there was no such possibility.

"Ahem! Everyone played well in the first half. Although there are still many flaws, I am still satisfied."

A smile appeared on Min Congda's face, and the atmosphere in the locker room suddenly eased a lot.

Everyone thought, right? They led by 18 points in the first half. Why is Mr. Smart still so stern? It's unscientific.

No amount of perfectionism should be like this, right?
"This shows that our 15-man rotation strategy is correct, and we must resolutely implement it!"

"We will try different lineup combinations. If you feel uncomfortable and can't play well, it can only mean...your level is too poor."

Min Congda is determined to stick to the 15-man rotation and not give up halfway because of the lead in the first half.

Min Congda, who suffered from backstabs, made a decision for the first time completely calmly, instead of taking it for granted.

Compared with the role of general manager, he has a clearer grasp of the role of head coach, because he is really talented in basketball.

The players are also full of confidence and feel that the second half will continue to win smoothly.

The intermission ended and the third quarter began, but the situation on the field changed a little.

The Blazers came out of the chaos of changing speed after adjustments in the midfield.

McMillan, you can say that his coaching upper limit is not high, but the lower limit can indeed be guaranteed.

The 18-point difference is not a reflection of the true strength of the two teams, and the Blazers are not that bad.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Blazers focused on the inside on the offensive end.

With Aldridge as the offensive axis, patiently carry out positional warfare attacks.

In a basketball game, it's important to focus on me.

Players can only perform at their best in a familiar rhythm of the game.

Adelaide's continuous offense succeeded, and his precise mid-range jumper made Randolph very difficult to defend.

On the defensive end, McMillan's arrangement in the first quarter played a role in the third quarter.

Wesley Matthews defended Curry, and Felton, the fat guy, went to Harden.

Batum was asked to help defend Harden and Curry a lot, basically leaving Ricky Davis empty.

At the same time, the insiders and the Clippers make the same choice-they can't get out!

Since the increase in outside pick-and-roll tactics in the past two seasons, many teams have begun to try the strategy of retreating to protect the basket.

Even Kevin Garnett, who used to be an up-and-coming big spider at the top of the arc, began to appear more at the fifth position, shrinking inside and not going out.

Because the Mavericks and the Clippers have set a good example, all teams realize that the threat of three-pointers and the basket is the greatest.

It doesn't matter if you can put it properly in the middle distance.

After all, players like Kobe are gradually disappearing in the league.

McGrady has long since been abolished, Iverson has retired, and Joe Johnson is hard to become a master.

The league's mid-range masters are gradually dying, and the only young player with signs of great success in the mid-range is Kevin Durant.

So the Thunder is also one of the teams with the fewest three-pointers in the league.

Once the threat of mid-range is not so great, the space is widened again.

The defensive need to sweep between the three-point line and the paint has declined.

Defensive resources should be tilted to the three-point line-the basket, and sweeping the oppressive defensive interior will gradually no longer be the mainstream.

Of course, this requires a process, but the trend has picked up.

Although the Blazers team has not been a top team for many years, it can always have a place in the playoffs.

It shows that the team building and tactical research are still very good, but the injury management is too poor.

Soon, the Blazers beat the Clippers 12:5 in the third quarter and recovered 7 points.

During this period, Adelaide scored 8 points alone, using his height and wingspan to make Randolph lose his temper.

This is the problem with Randolph's defense. Before playing David West, everything would go wrong.

Ad is taller than West and has long arms, so it's definitely not easy to guard against.

At this time, the normal coach should call a timeout to adjust.

But why did Min Congda call a timeout?
Seeing the Blazers recovering in the third quarter, he wished he could keep playing like this.

After all, Curry and Harden are young, third graders.

The ball clicks in with the wind, and the headwind is a bit inexperienced.

It was the same in the playoffs last season. At the critical moment, it was Randolph and Baron Davis who really mattered.

Harden made a pass error in the offense, the Blazers had a chance to counterattack, and Matthews passed the ball to Batum for a layup!
The score became 67:58, and the point difference narrowed to less than 10 points, only 9 points!

Now Min Congda is not calling a timeout, the official is calling it a timeout, and it's time to put an advertisement.

Min Congda cursed inwardly, "Mom, is it so easy to fight? The official is going to jump out and call a ghost to stop, it's so annoying!"

The Clippers started back to the bench dejectedly, and the 18-point advantage was gone in a while.

In the away game, Portland fans roared like a tsunami, and the morale of the Blazers returned a little bit.

Steve Kerr reminded Min Congda twice that he should call a timeout.

Min Congda said: "Let the players solve their own problems. Did Zen Master do this before?"

Cole nodded, but he thought, Master Zen is not as sharp as you.

Min Congda made a slight comeback, which further strengthened his confidence in the rotation of 15 players.
