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

Chapter 61 In all fairness
Although Min Congda has a superb basketball talent that he doesn't know about, his mentality is no different from that of fans who have just watched the game.

One game, one half, one quarter, even one goal, if the game goes a little bit wrong and doesn't suit my wishes, I want to scold my mother.

And once the team I support plays well, they start cheering, screaming, blowing up, finishing the abuse, forever God!
After yelling and yelling, if you don't play well later, you should scold or scold, this is the normal mentality of fans.

The only abnormal thing about Min Congda is that as the general manager of the Clippers, he does not support the Clippers, but the Lakers!

Moods ebbed and flowed with the performance of the Lakers, who played well and felt good.

The Lakers started to attack with constipation, and the defense missed people, so he cursed in his heart and criticized by name.

The most scolded one is the outside point guard, No. 2 old fisher Fisher.

Min Congda didn't even bother to call his name Fisher, so he went straight to No. 2 bald head. The bald head's defense really made Min Congda vomit blood.

That is to say, tonight Baron Davis is really in a bad state, and he will not make some open shots, otherwise the old fish will be scolded even more.

In addition to not being good at defense, Lao Yu can't watch his offense either.

A three-pointer was scored in the first quarter, and diarrhea began in the second quarter. If you don't make it with Davis, I won't make it. What about reciprocity?

In the second quarter, he failed to seize the two open three-point opportunities, and Min Congda slapped his thigh directly. Such a player is still not cut!

Of course, if he is in the Clippers, Min Congda will value him very much and will resolutely keep him. Such point guard cash machines are rare.

Odom was the second to be slandered by Min Congda. First of all, he was defending. Randolph beat him through in the first half!

Randolph made 10 of 7 in the half and scored 17 points. He wanted anything and everything in the low post, and Odom couldn't stop him at all.

Moreover, Odom played loosely in the game and had no fighting spirit.

He passes the ball casually, and his shooting is not very stable. He likes to play fast counterattacks.

The three-pointers in the two counterattacks were good, helping the Lakers to solve their urgent needs.

Let Min Congda be merciful to him and swear less.

As for the other Lakers players, their performance is still quite satisfactory.

This is the level of Mbenga and his ilk, so we can't force it.

The true anchor of the Lakers is still Kobe.

His three ball-handling singles at the end of the second quarter helped the Lakers maintain the score.

Otherwise, the Clippers may have overtaken the score in the first half.

During the intermission, Min Congda originally wanted to go to the team's locker room to have a look, but after thinking about it, forget it. He is in a bad mood, so let's sit down and eat popcorn.

Seeing that Min Congda was watching the game seriously, David Stern muttered something from time to time, and his expression fluctuated with the situation on the court. He thought that this guy was quite involved in watching the game.

"Smart, what do you think of the Clippers' performance?" Stern asked.

"Very dissatisfied! This play... did not meet my expectations!"

Min Congda's expectation was that the Clippers would collapse at halftime, trailing the Lakers by 15 to 20 points.

Then in the third quarter, the score difference was maintained. In the fourth quarter, it entered garbage time and lost perfectly.

OK, I got $2000, part of it will be kept as pocket money, and part of it will be used to buy Apple stocks.

Recently, Apple's stock has risen again, and it has been rising. If you buy it early, you can get a cheaper price and earn more.

When Stern heard it, he was only two points behind the defending champion at halftime. Is this still not up to expectations?
"It seems that Smart has high expectations for the team. I think the Clippers performed well in the first half. But the season has just begun, and the road ahead is still long."

Stern has seen a lot. The NBA season is very long and lasts for more than half a year. The team has to go through many problems and face various changes.

The state of a team at the beginning of the season may be completely different from the end of the season, and even the lineup may be different.

The second half started, the game continued, and Baron Davis organized the offense, still starting from Randolph.

In the second half, an important change for the Lakers on the defensive end was to let Artest defend Randolph.

Before Randolph received the ball, Artest began to go around and interfere with Randolph's receiving the ball, squeezing Randolph's space with fierce confrontation.

The two were almost wrestling at the basket. They were both tough players, and neither of them accepted the other. They twisted together and almost fell at the beginning of the game. The referee gave Artest a foul.

But Artest didn't stop, and still moved forward, destroying Davis' pass, and the Clippers still had the ball.

The Clippers' offensive rhythm was gradually destroyed. Davis tried to break through the inside with the ball, but failed to hit the throw.

"It's a good play! Good adjustment, let Artest guard Randolph, guard his catches, and don't let him easily attack in the low post. Good idea."

"Davis is really not doing well. Continue this state, don't score goals, and go to ONLY to explore together at night."

The Lakers handed the ball to Kobe, and Kobe held the ball near the top of the arc with little pressure and came and went freely.

He saw an opportunity, and smacked into the three-second zone like a snake, attracting double-teams, and passed the ball to Bynum, who caught the ball and dunked with both hands!

"Beautiful!" Min Congda couldn't help shouting.

Both Ada and Stern turned to look at him, where are you from?How to support the Lakers?
Min Congda coughed dryly and said, "This... I appreciate this attack from the perspective of a neutral fan. In all fairness, this ball is really beautiful."

The game continued, Artest's defense did have a set, the best defensive player ever was not blocked.

He can defend outside, but also does not suffer inside. He is strong, aggressive, and has a strong defensive awareness.

After a few rounds, it was very difficult for Randolph to catch the ball. The Clippers' offense stagnated, and they could only find Kaman or Gordon to play.

And Kobe continued to grasp the weakness of the Clippers' No. [-] position, wandering around the free throw line, threading needles, and tearing apart the Clippers' weak defense line at will.

If it weren't for the Lakers' other outside touch, the Lakers would have opened the point difference to double digits if they missed two three-point opportunities.

At 57:50, in the middle of the third quarter, the Lakers led by 7 points.

In basketball games in the 10s, the lead of 7 points was still very stable.

Positional battles, slow-paced games, scoring will be difficult.

Judging from the state of both sides in this game, it is difficult to score more than 100 points.

Seeing the Lakers taking the lead, Min Congda felt relieved and settled down.

Of course, he also analyzed the current predicament of the Clippers and thought about a solution:

"Randolph has the ability of mid-range, he should be pulled out, don't get into melee inside, it's meaningless. The Clippers' offensive space is too small, they have to be fully stretched, and they are crowded together. How can they be like the Lakers? high interior team?"

"The Clippers still can't solve Kobe's point. It's not bad. It's worthy of No.1. It's still very good, but I feel that my legs and feet are not so agile."

Min Congda actually thought that Kobe's legs were not so agile... In fact, he was right.

In 09, Kobe's body, technology, and psychology reached a peak state.

After holding his breath and completing the thing he always wanted to accomplish, the 32-year-old inevitably declined.

This summer Kobe's training was intermittent, and his physical condition was only 80.00% of last season.

His skills in the first three quarters are still unparalleled, but his body's flexibility and explosive power have a feeling of slipping, and his body has a slight sense of stagnation.

In his youth he was very light.

At this time, the Clippers made a substitution, Mike Dunleavy replaced Stephen Curry, and replaced the poor Baron Davis.

Curry made his second appearance, and this time he can finally compete with Kobe.

Kobe saw Curry coming on stage, pointed his finger, and said, "It's finally time for you, I thought the coach wouldn't let you go!"

Curry just smiled, and didn't continue to flirt with Kobe. It would be boring to flirt too much.

Dell Curry on the sidelines saw his son on the stage, took a deep breath, and prayed in his heart: "Kobe, you can be more relaxed with my son, don't hurt his self-confidence, be more tolerant."

It can only be said that it is not easy for Papa Curry to pity the parents of the world, because he played against Kobe.

At that time, Curry was late in his career, and Kobe was young and promising in his early 20s. Curry knew how focused and fierce this kid was, and if he didn't deal with it well, he would be destroyed.

And Kuli has no fear, and now he is facing Lao Yu, he thought to himself: "If you don't let Kobe guard me, you will regret it."
