Min Congda's idea during the halftime break was actually correct.
If the Clippers want to stabilize the situation, they must control the rhythm.
In fact, it was true that relying on Kaman's low post attack, the Clippers regained the initiative.
It's just that Min Congda ignored that in the NBA, the individual performance of stars can play a decisive role.
Among team sports, compared to football and rugby, individual heroism in basketball is the most important.
Because in basketball offense you can really play one against five, and you can really rely on your personal ability to completely change the situation on the court.
But Curry listened to Min Congda's slander and held it in for a while. After he came on the court, he ignored Dunleavy's instructions.
Throw it away when you see an opportunity, vote when you see an opportunity, and don't think about the organization or not.
Fortunately, Curry felt good tonight, and the Grizzlies were obviously lax on defense when rotating players.
Curry seized the opportunity and beat the Grizzlies 9:2 by himself, and the point difference widened to 12 points.
Stopped the grizzly bear.
The Grizzlies, who were still able to compete in the fourth quarter, were in a dilemma.
Hollins was wondering whether to let the main players who had just come down to rest reappear.
Or let the second team continue to play for a while and get through this period.
Hollins is in a dilemma. Let the main players come on. If the main players are not well rested, they may not win.
Without the main force, how can the second lineup be as bad as the Clippers led by Curry?
Speaking of Curry's ability, he is really good as a substitute.
Accurate three-pointers, explosive scoring power, loopholes in defense, and a random beating will widen the point difference.
Hollins hesitated for a while, but decided to let the main force reappear.
Don't rest, otherwise you will lose.
Mike Conley's stool hasn't even warmed up yet, and he's about to get up and play again.
This is a head coach who is affected by record pressure, there is nothing he can do.
Although Wallace's team strategy this season is to train young people.
But the performance of the head coach cannot be too bad.
After all, the Grizzlies' lineup is still good. They have been playing poorly for several years and have accumulated a lot of high-ranking rookies.
The reason why this year is still focused on training new players is mainly affected by Griffin's reimbursement.
Otherwise, the Grizzlies will have a shot at the playoffs no matter what.
Otherwise, the tickets will be even more unsaleable.
Therefore, in order to keep his job, Hollins must fight as the main force.
Dunleavy on the opposite side is different, there is no record pressure.
Are you going to be the main force? I will still play with you as a substitute. If I can't beat you, I will pull you down.
Let’s experiment with the second lineup.
Dunleavy continues to use one large and four small.
Center DeAndre Jordan, forwards Thornton and Novak, and defenders Curry and Collins.
The defense of this lineup was bad enough. After the Grizzlies' main force came on, they responded with a 7-0.
Dunleavy did not pause and allowed Curry to lead the second team to continue playing.
Curry hit consecutive three-pointers to attract the attention of the opponent's defense.
Then he chose to take a three-point shot despite being double-teamed.
As a result, the ball was scored again!
Curry faced the double team of Conley and O.J. Mayo.
Forced a 45-degree shot from the right and hit a three-pointer!
The Clippers are completely messing around.
But you can hit them even if you hit them randomly!
"Holy shit, this guy can get in? Curry, do you have a scope on your arm? What are you doing? Damn it, I should have known better than to let him throw it around during halftime."
Min Congda regretted a little, Curry, why are you so obedient?
If I tell you to throw more three-pointers, you will listen. If I tell you not to exercise, why won’t you listen?
I heard Ayesha say that you get up every morning to exercise and strengthen your body, which makes your body stronger.
If what I say suits you, listen to it; if it doesn't, just ignore it, right?
Min Congda couldn't stand it anymore. He just finished eating the popcorn in his hand, so he left his seat and ran to buy popcorn.
Wallace was left watching the game on the court, feeling anxious in his heart.
The main lineup is on, but the Clippers' second lineup can't overtake the score?
After Curry hit his fourth three-pointer here, the Grizzlies' defensive focus was completely attracted.
At this time, Curry was not stubborn. He was not Kobe, and he did not pass the ball even if he was surrounded by four men.
He decisively passed the ball to Novak in the bottom corner. Novak waited for a long time, caught the ball and hit a three-pointer!
They responded with a 6:0 wave and reopened the score.
When Min Congda came back from buying popcorn, he looked at the game: 97:90, the Clippers were leading by 7 points.
Min Congda couldn't hold it back anymore and said to Wallace: "What kind of team is this that the Clippers can't beat?"
Wallace was embarrassed and was criticized, but then he thought about it, what does it mean that the Clippers can't beat him?
Aren't the Clippers your team? Do you think so little of your team?
"No, last time at Staples Center, when he mentioned attendance, he said he had a headache and was not satisfied. He has always had very high demands on the team."
"Also, every time the Clippers win, his expression is very serious and he is not very happy. It is said that he is very strict with the players."
Min Congda didn't know that he had become popular on the Internet recently.
One is because he scolded the referee in the last game, and the content of the scolding was spread, and the fans found it very enjoyable.
This scolding battle is really exciting. After all, referees are a group that no one likes. If you call well, no one will praise you, and there is a high probability that you will be scolded by the losing team.
If you don't play well, it will be even worse. Everyone who loses or wins will scold you. Everyone loves to scold the referee.
Another thing is the live footage compiled by the TV station. Every time the Clippers win, Min Congda has a sad face.
The footage paired with the live score has a very comedic effect. Those who didn't know better thought the Clippers had lost.
Everyone has speculated that Min Congda's casual and free daily style is just a disguise. In his heart, he has very strict requirements for the team.
Stern can testify, he said it all, "Smart is a very strict person on players, especially young people."
Min Congda said that to cover himself up, but he didn't know that Mr. CEO still took it seriously.
Now it's good, Min Congda has another label of "very strict emperor".
At the last moment of the game, the Clippers sent out their rested main players.
Kaman took over the game, drew two fouls and made all four free throws.
He scored 27 points, grabbed 11 rebounds, had 4 assists and 2 blocks.
This performance made Gasol lose his temper at all.
Wallace looked at Kaman's all-around performance and thought: "If he can partner with Griffin, the effect should be very good, right?"
Last time, Min Congda said that Kaman could be traded, but he didn't know whether it was true or false.
The score was finally settled at 107:100, and the Clippers struggled to win on the road.
Back-to-back away games are not easy.
Curry hit 4 three-pointers in this game, scored 17 points and 5 assists.
Min Congda sighed, he had nothing to say about this game.
There isn't much turmoil in my heart, I'm used to winning, and I'm not as angry and desperate as before.
Besides, with the $20,000 fine, this road trip was not in vain.
After the game, Wallace treated Min Congda to a late-night snack, and the relationship between the two took a further step.
As the saying goes, wherever there are people, there are arenas, and the NBA is a complete arena. There are more people and sophistication here than anywhere else.
Take player transactions as an example. If the two team managers are not very familiar with each other, they will not be willing to do some transactions with you.
I don’t even want to answer your phone, so what kind of deal do I want to do with you?
If the relationship is good, everyone will be willing to do some matchmaking transactions with each other, and even do business at a loss.
Today I help you at a loss, and tomorrow you have to help me when I need it. Everyone, you help me and I help you, so that the business can continue.
They all work together in the same circle.
Of course, Min Congda is an exception. He had no intention of making any trades from the beginning. The Clippers are a bad team and they will be over if they continue to do so.
But now he discovered that this bad team may not be as bad as he thought, and some transactions should still be made.
Therefore, he readily accepted Wallace's invitation, and Wallace became Min Congda's first personal connection in the NBA general manager world.
From this point on, he really got started.
