At the end of the intermission, Min Congda also took the time to buy a bag of popcorn.
Sitting there and tasting Memphis popcorn, the taste... felt a bit bland.
"Chris, the popcorn in your arena isn't very good. Of course, it's a little better than Staples, but it's only so good. We need to improve."
Min Congda said, stuffing a handful of popcorn into his mouth.
After eating popcorn from several away games, Min Chongda found that the one at Staples Center seemed to be the most unpalatable.
Of course, he hasn't been to all the away games, so he can't be sure if there are any more delicious ones.
Wallace couldn't understand why this guy still liked to eat popcorn. He didn't have the style of a team general manager at all.
If you look at the famous team managers in history, such as Auerbach, he likes to smoke cigars.
Every time the team wants to win, light the cigar next to your mouth and become a classic victory cigar.
Min Congda is good. He always holds a box of popcorn in his hand. What is this called, victory popcorn?
Wallace really can't see through Min Congda.
At this time, the game between the two sides continued, and the chaos was contained to a certain extent at the beginning of the third quarter.
During the halftime break, the coaches of both sides must have emphasized the need to settle down and play slowly.
But as the fight continued, the game began to become chaotic again. There was no way, and there was no way to see who the point guards were on both sides.
The Clippers have a bearded captain. Davis was a master of chaos when he was with the Warriors. Nelson led the team to run and gun and throw away whenever he got the chance.
By the time he arrived at the Clippers, Davis had restrained himself a lot, partly because of coach Dunleavy's control, and partly because his condition was not as good as before.
But Davis has been in good form recently, much better than at the beginning of the season. His leg injury has been relieved through physical therapy, and his performance has become better as the season progresses.
He controls the team's offense, but sometimes he gets mad and gets more and more chaotic. Dunleavy can't do anything with him.
The Grizzlies' point guard is Conley. He is a mature guard, but he is too young and lacks control ability.
The most important thing is that the Grizzlies lack low-post attackers. Once there are no low-post attackers, the offense will be launched from the outside, and the tactics will be chaotic.
The Grizzlies' sharpshooter, Rudy Gay, is a guy who can't pass the ball.
In this way, when the two sides fight against each other, the game tactics will become one shot and four grabs later in the game.
If anyone gets the ball and has a chance, rush for it and hit it yourself. If you can't hit it, grab it from others.
If you get it, continue to fight. If you can't get it, go back to defense. There is no method.
Wallace sighed as he watched the team's offense, but there was nothing he could do.
The Grizzlies have no goal of making the playoffs this season, but focus on developing young players.
Next season, when Griffin comes back, the lineup will be formed with Griffin as the core.
In Wallace's eyes, these people on the Grizzlies court can all be traded.
As long as it can be matched with Griffin and let Griffin give full play to his abilities.
At this time, the Clippers slowly began to gain an advantage. In the chaotic battle between the two sides, one person stood up and stabilized the situation: Kaman.
Kaman took the initiative to ask for the ball in the low post and succeeded in three consecutive singles.
A behind-the-back jumper after catching the ball in the low post on the left.
Two turns and hooks after catching the ball in the low post on the right side, one hit at a time.
Gasol looked helpless in front of Kaman. He was bullied by Kaman in the last game.
Kaman is too young now. Facing a skilled center like Kaman, his defense is very difficult.
The Clippers relied on Kaman's stable performance to gradually overtake the score in the middle of the third quarter.
Min Congda sighed when he looked at the Grizzlies' lineup, and pointed out to Wallace: "Your second position is not good, OJ Mayo, he is a little out of touch with the team. It is not impossible to be out of touch, then you must be able to use your personal ability Completely conquer your opponents. If you don’t have this ability, then you will be dragging down your teammates.”
Min Congda's words struck a chord with Wallace. Wallace was indeed dissatisfied with OJ Mayo's performance.
In his rookie season, Mayo's performance was remarkable and full of hope. The Grizzlies selected him with the third overall pick in the hope that he could become the Grizzlies' Kobe.
But at the beginning of this season, Mayo's performance has declined compared to his rookie season, which can be seen from the free throw shooting rate.
In his rookie season, Mayo's free throw shooting rate was as high as 87%, but this year his free throw shooting rate dropped to 80%.
If there is a sharp decline in free throws, a type of shooting without interference or confrontation, it can only mean that he did not train well in the summer.
Many superstar players, after performing amazingly in their rookie season, often soar into the sky in their second season and suddenly reach the All-Star level.
Because in the summer they will train hard to fully unleash their potential.
Once you don't practice hard and just rely on your previous aura to play, you will easily be tortured by the NBA's cruel and intensive schedule and high-intensity confrontations.
Mayo has this tendency now, and of course Wallace still has expectations for him. After all, the new season has just begun, and Mayo can still provide qualified performance in every game.
But Min Congda pointed out his worries with one word. Wallace was filled with admiration and fear at the same time. How could this kid see through everything?
The way Min Congda observes whether OJ-Mayo can do it is actually very simple, that is, to see if he can eat Gordon alive in singles.
Mayo and Gordon are rookies in the same year. If you can't eat Gordon alive and your style of play lacks tactics, then you definitely can't do it.
In comparison, Kobe Bryant will be out of touch with the team's tactics during offense, but he can make a tactic when he takes the ball, and his success rate is even higher than some tactics.
Then he should be out of touch. Others didn't help, so he had to do it himself.
It is obvious that Mayo wants to take the path of Kobe, and the Grizzlies also want to develop him in this direction.
But not every player can grow into a player like Kobe, even if you become famous as a teenager and are the number one talented high school student in the United States.
After Mayo failed to defeat Gordon twice, he gave up the idea of one-on-one and adopted tactics to play inside.
The idea is correct, but the Grizzlies' situation has not changed much. The Clippers, who have stabilized their position, are not so easily broken through the defense.
The cooperation between Mayo and his teammates is not very tacit. Wallace knows that Mayo regards himself as the boss.
But many people in the team are dissatisfied with him. The real boss of the Grizzlies in the future will only be Griffin sitting on the bench.
The Clippers gradually stabilized their advantage, leading the Grizzlies by about 5 points. This advantage is not stable, and the Grizzlies still have a chance.
However, the situation of the game changed at the end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth quarter.
Curry came on as a substitute and hit three consecutive three-pointers in just three minutes!
Fast break counterattack, three points.
After the pick-and-roll, he took a three-point shot and hit it.
Received a pass from Kaman in the bottom corner and faked a move to avoid Conley's defense.
Three-point shot, hit again!
A series of three-pointers, like rocket launchers, directly stunned the Grizzlies fans and Wallace.
What is this operation? What kind of three-pointer is this? Are you being unreasonable?
It's not a turn-based system, everyone is fighting randomly, are we fighting with bayonets in the fourth quarter?
Why did a few three-pointers knock me over?
Wallace watched as the baby-faced Curry crippled the Grizzlies with three consecutive three-pointers and stopped the game.
He sighed in his heart: "This is talent, this is the explosive power of scoring. Smart's vision for selecting players is truly extraordinary."
And Min Congda watched Curry hit three-pointers in a row, and the popcorn fell from his mouth.
"Damn it, you just threw it when I asked you to? Did you really throw it in?"
"Forget it, it doesn't matter, I have 20,000 US dollars."
"Next time if I don't have any money, I'll just scold the referee."
