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

Chapter 456 I Overestimated Him (Part [-])
When Min Congda saw the text message, he knew that Paul Foster was dealt with.

As expected, the church is still relatively simple, and a small plan has destroyed their negotiations with New York.

Sometimes to deal with these "gentlemen", it is still necessary to use a little villain's tricks.

Min Congda replied with a message, "OK, I will contact you when I return to Los Angeles."

He then sent another message to Christopher, "Keep it up, don't stop!"

How can it be possible to remove the knife from the neck of the other party before the negotiation really has a result?
Continuing to pay attention to the situation on the field, Min Congda frowned again.

In the second quarter, the two teams began to fight badly. The Nuggets' smooth offense in the first quarter was disrupted by the Clippers' defensive lineup. 1
George Karl replaced Chandler and Gallinari early, but he didn't take much advantage of Leonard and Butler.

These two boys are very active on the defensive end. Leonard stands out for his calmness, quick strikes, good positioning, and always expressionless.

On the other hand, Butler is brave and passionate, and seems to have inexhaustible energy all over his body, desperately making up defenses, assisting defenses, and topping people.

When it comes to the offensive end, although they are a bit stretched, when it comes to the defensive end, they will become tigers and leopards that bite their opponents.

A strong defense is a great boost to morale. After the Clippers narrowed the point difference to 9 points, Tyronn Lue did not make a substitution.

Instead, continue to let these outstanding players on the court to show the Clippers' tenacity at home on the plateau.

In this regard, Tyronn Lue is quite courageous, daring to let the main players sit on the bench for a long time, and reflect on themselves if they don't play well.

The point difference slowly changed from 9 points, to 10 points, to 8 points, and then to 6 points, and it kept shrinking.

When Okafor jumped up, the volleyball cap Andre Miller fell heavily to the ground.

The veteran fell to the ground and clenched his fists and roared. The passionate defense was contagious.

Milicic and Leonard came over to pull Okafor up, and the Nuggets still had the ball.

But the Nuggets can no longer find the offensive feeling.

Under the tough defense of the Clippers, a hasty three-pointer from the outside line missed.

Milicic got the rebound from the backcourt, but the ball was still given to Dragic.

After the young Dragic came to the Clippers, he won many opportunities to play with his performance.

He is calm, has a good mind for reading the game, has a good shot, and has a good breakthrough.

It can be said that he is quite an all-round guard, and he is really good as a substitute for Harden and Curry.

Dribbling to the frontcourt, Dragic observed the Nuggets' defense.

Okafor and Milicic took turns to set Dragic as a pick-and-roll.

The Nuggets know that the Clippers are a broken lineup, and Dragic is a strong ball-holding point.

So going up to double-team, Dragic immediately sent the ball to Butler in the bottom corner.

Butler rushed to the basket with the ball and missed a throw, but Leonard grabbed an offensive rebound and made a tip-up!
The difference is only 4 points!

The tiankeng dug by the main players of both sides in the first quarter was slowly filled by the substitutes in the second quarter with their own efforts.

George Karl touched his bald head. He had seen this kind of scene a lot, so he didn't panic, but he still called a timeout to suppress his shock.

Tyronn Lue stood on the sidelines, high-fived the Clippers bench players who were off the field, and encouraged them loudly: "Good job, beautiful defense! You did a great job!"

Young coaches like Tyronn Lue are better at positive encouragement, and they are not stingy with praise when the players play well.

And the older generation, like Carl and Dunleavy, are like old gentlemen looking at students, no matter how they look at them, they are not pleasing to the eye.

If you fight well, you should be beaten. If you fight badly, you will be scolded, because most of them have experienced suppressive education when they were young.

But today's young players, born in the 80s and 90s in the United States, are mostly in good condition since they were young, and they have experienced happy education.

Even children who grew up in slums have better living conditions than people in the past.

Therefore, suppressing education is no longer suitable for them, but will cause rebellious psychology.

The most typical is Milicic, under Larry Brown's crazy humiliation, he almost ruined himself.

Now he has found his position in the Clippers, and he is very happy in playing and living.

While he's unlikely to live up to expectations for the No. 03 pick in [-], he can make a difference on the court, and he doesn't hate basketball anymore.

More than half of the second quarter has passed, and with more than 4 minutes left, Tyronn Lue let the main players who played the tiankeng in the first quarter debut.

Curry, Harden and others have reflected on the bench. Not only have they been baptized mentally, but their physical strength has also been rested to a large extent.

In the last few minutes of the second quarter, the two sides suppressed the offense for most of the quarter and ushered in an explosion. Curry and Harden hit consecutive jumpers.

For the Nuggets, Chandler made a three-pointer from the outside, and Al Harrington, who came off the bench, caught the ball to the basket and made a throw.

But the main force of the Clippers obviously had a more violent offensive momentum. They chased points and filled the hole before the end of the first half!
The two sides drew 42:42, ending the first half of the game.

The Clippers scored only 12 points in the first quarter and 30 points in the second quarter.

The Nuggets scored 28 points in the first quarter, but only scored a poor 14 points in the second quarter.

The defensive potential of the Clippers' bench players can be seen.

Tyronn Lue's one-handed substitute player incentive method allowed the Clippers to successfully survive a huge crisis in the first half.

The smile on Min Congda's face gradually disappeared and moved to the Clippers players.

He gradually discovered that there seemed to be something about this Tyronn Lue.

His thing is not tactics, but spiritual impact.

Moreover, this unremarkable person has a lot of courage.

In fact, Min Congda should have noticed that an assistant coach dared to participate in the head coach interview without preparation because of a phone call, which in itself represented a kind of courage.

When many people hear about this kind of interview opportunity, they probably don’t want to try it. They might lose their original job because of this interview. Why bother?
But Tyronn Lu just dared, he had the courage to face challenges.

And after taking over the work of the Clippers head coach, the team's situation stabilized within a few days.

Min Congda observed that he and Tyronn Lu had a good relationship with everyone, and the players were quite obedient.

Steve Kerr, who previously competed with Tyronn Lue for the head coach, actually worked well with Lue.

Several assistant coaches headed by Lao Jin also obediently cooperated with Director Lu and did not give up their picks.

It is said that Olshey and Tyronn Lue are very close.

Also, Harden has often been with Tyronn Lue recently, and the relationship seems to be very good.

So did Randolph.

So is Gasol Jr.!

Recently, Gasol has started to spread gossip about Lu's guidance.

This made Min Congda a little worried, could Tyronn Lu be a good coach?

As a result, in the third quarter, the two sides returned to the same starting line.

The Clippers were beaten 10-0 by the Nuggets in the opening game. With the halftime break, you have arranged something, and it hasn't changed at all, right?
How did you fall into the pit in the first half, you fall again, climb again?

"Forget it, I overestimated him."
