Min Congda sent Ada back to the hotel to take a shower and change clothes. He was waiting in the lobby downstairs.
When Ada changed her clothes and went downstairs, Min Congda noticed that her eyes were a little red, she must have cried.
"Hey, Ada, it's okay. When I get back, I will complain to the on-site security and drive those three little bastards out of the arena."
When people are cared about, they shed tears more easily.
Ada's eyes, which had just stopped crying in the bathroom, immediately became moist again.
She shook her head and said, "It's not because of the drink being thrown at me. I'm fine. Let's go back quickly. The second half of the game has already begun."
Min Congda asked: "It's not because of the spilled drinks, then what's the reason?"
Ada didn't want to answer at all and said, "Let's go back quickly. I just turned on the TV to watch the score, and the Clippers overtook us."
"What! Overtaking? Taking the lead?"
"Yes."
"Let's go, let's go."
As soon as he heard that the Clippers had overtaken the Knicks, Min Congda didn't care whether Ada was crying or not.
What the hell did the trashy Knicks play? They were overtaken in the third quarter.
The two got into the taxi. In the car, Min Congda asked the driver to turn on the radio and tune to the live sports channel.
Before live television became popular, Americans watched sports events either in person or on the radio.
A stadium can only accommodate more than 10,000 people, so there are only so many witnesses to a game.
But the live content of the game can be transmitted to thousands of households through radio waves.
In the early days, fans learned about the game and players through sound.
The influence of the NBA has also spread to every corner of the United States through the voices of play by play commentators.
To this day, television and even online live broadcasts have become popular, but radio commentary still has its place.
Because there are no pictures, the commentator will not chat with the audience, but will describe the situation on the field with passionate tone and precise words without too much nonsense.
Knicks radio commentator Mike Breen broadcast the situation to the radio audience in real time.
Breen became the voice of the Knicks after famous broadcaster Marvie Albert was fired by Dolan in 2004 for criticizing the Knicks.
"Steph, Steph Curry, he got the ball, and starting in the third quarter, Baron Davis gave more of the ball to the No. 1 pick, and he didn't disappoint... ...The pick-and-roll with Randolph in the high post resulted in a direct mid-range jump shot!"
"A crisp jump shot near the free throw line. This was the 12th point he scored in the third quarter. His shooting posture was very special, and his release speed was very fast. He pushed it out without reaching the high point, and it was very fast. , almost difficult to block.”
"The Knicks' offense relies too much on individual isolations, mistakes, and Duhon made another mistake. He was under a lot of pressure in the third quarter. Stephen Curry's strong firepower made him a little at a loss."
"In the Clippers' counterattack, Curry passed the ball to Baron Davis. Baron Davis broke through in the middle and passed it back to Curry. Curry shot a 45-degree three-pointer from the left...Bang! Again! Hit! Wooo! 15 points! Curry hit his fourth three-pointer!"
"His shooting was very decisive. He reminded me of Pistol, Pete Maravich, shooting as fast as a Western cowboy. 70:60, the Clippers led the Knicks by 10 points, and Curry dominated the third quarter. game. I dare say the Knicks had no preparation for such a situation before the game."
"Curry scored 27 points in Minnesota in the last game, and he has already scored 20 points in this game. The opponents behind the Clippers must consider how to deal with this No. 1 pick."
Mike Breen spoke quickly but very clearly, expressing everything on the court.
Min Congda's blood pressure rose a little higher after hearing this, and he almost forgot to pay when he got off the bus.
Ada saw that Min Congda's face was not very good, and he was walking in a hurry, and said with concern: "Mr. Smart, don't worry, we are ahead now. I know you are disappointed by missing Curry's wonderful performance. I'm sorry, yes My fault."
Min Congda sighed, slowed down and said, "You're not wrong. Really, it's not your problem. I just want to go back to watch the game quickly. Let's go."
He can't tell the truth to Ada yet, this Curry beating makes him feel uncomfortable.
27 points in the last game, but not 20 points in three quarters this time. What happened?
As for the devil's schedule, the co-author is Curry's devil's schedule, right?
"The Timberwolves and the Knicks are really bad teams. D'Antoni is also a famous coach. You are a famous coach. You can't even handle Curry. You are a rookie. You don't know how to defend?"
While complaining, he returned to the audience seat.
The three white guys who poured Ada drinks were missing. I don’t know if they were asked to leave by security or if they went to the toilet.
Unable to care about this, Min Congda returned to his seat and looked at the game. 71:60. Why did it open up a little further?
It turned out that Randolph stepped to the free throw line, made the first free throw, and then the second free throw.
At this time, Curry happened to be resting on the bench, and he played eight minutes in the third quarter.
He scored 15 points and hit 100% of his shots. He was in surprisingly good shape.
Curry felt very sorry to see Min Congda come back. He turned around and shouted to Min Congda: "Hey Smart, I just scored 15 points in a row, 15 points!"
Min Congda forced a smile and said: "I heard your performance in the car, keep up the good work, you brat!"
Min Congda sat down and continued to watch the game. After only two minutes of watching, he knew that the Knicks would most likely be out tonight.
The Knicks' offense is too scattered, without an absolute core point. D'Antoni's basic strategy is to trade speed for space, giving players more opportunities to play freely on the offensive end.
In the 7-second offense, the Knicks implemented D'Antoni's principles and never delayed when they had the ball.
Quick shots, quick runs, using speed to make up for the lack of height.
But they need a good point guard to distribute the ball and allow their offense to relax.
Chris Duhon obviously doesn't have this ability.
"The offense is too scattered. If Steve Nash still has a role in the Knicks. And there is no core explosion point. The Clippers are one defense and one man. No matter how you play, man-to-man is executed to the end. D'Antoni is in your hands. If you don’t have any cards, how can you beat Lao Deng?”
Min Congda now wants to replace D'Antoni in command.
If it were him, he would definitely replace Chris Duhon and replace Al Harrington.
Simply play a tall, non-controlling lineup and use the players' personal abilities to dominate the Clippers' backcourt.
Drag the game into a chaos. Once it enters a chaos, the Knicks playing at home will have an advantage.
Unfortunately, D'Antoni, who rotates eight players, has always been known for his rigid adaptability.
It's impossible for him to think of such a risky trick, and even if he thought of it, he wouldn't be able to use it.
All he can do is keep the main players on the court, use them hard, and see if they can use their personal abilities and tactical qualities to save the situation.
When the game started in the fourth quarter and Curry reappeared, Min Congda soon knew that the method he just thought of would not work.
Because the Knicks really can't defend, they can't defend at all.
