Min Congda lost his temper at the players, of course not because he had a conscience and thought the Clippers should win.
But winning a prize of US$20,000 for a midfield shot made Min Congda no longer care about winning or losing the game.
As long as he doesn't care about winning or losing and his distorted values are temporarily corrected, Min Congda will return to his normal state of mind.
Since the summer, Min Congda has been eating and drinking at the training center, eating with everyone every day and watching everyone train.
His personality is very approachable, his mentality is relaxed, he treats everyone well, and they have definitely developed feelings for each other.
On this road trip, Min Congda followed along, facing the wind and snow, flying by plane and taking the bus overnight, flying from west to east, from north to south.
He has experienced the hard work of the players while playing abroad. Seeing everyone being beaten by their opponents in the away game, can he not have any thoughts in his heart and lose his temper?
The Clippers players, who were still laughing and joking at first, became serious and quiet after being scolded by Min Congda.
Curry was biting his braces. He was very dissatisfied with his performance in the first half.
He seems to have not gotten over the frustration and shadow of being targeted by Holiday throughout the game.
In this game, the Spurs' perimeter defense was tight and solid, unlike the Timberwolves and Knicks, which were full of loopholes.
Although no one gives him constant confrontations like Holiday, the Spurs' defense will never leave a wide open space just by getting rid of it.
There is always someone in front of him, and the rotation is always in place, with help from the outside and supplementary defense from the inside.
Every attack will not be easy, and you have to put in 100% effort if you want to score.
One hundred percent effort is not just a cliche or a joke.
Curry's several three-point shooting opportunities were not good, and he was reluctant to shoot.
At halftime, Dunleavy reminded him, "You have to watch your shot selection."
Dunleavy didn't specifically want to criticize Curry. Everyone played poorly.
But Dunleavy knows that Curry may be the most important point for the Clippers to come back to life in this game.
Because Curry has mid-range ability, he is the one who can really tear apart the Spurs' defense and create loopholes in the Spurs' tight defense.
Baron Davis no longer has that ability.
Randolph and Kaman can score, but they cannot fully drive the team's offense.
"Improving our shooting percentage, in the second half, give me that damn ball!"
Dunleavy was doing his final mobilization before the start of the third quarter.
He looked at the united expressions of the players and thought to himself: "You guys didn't listen to what I said in the fucking locker room. Smart sneered at you, so you just acted like you were serious." With a winning expression, everything I say is just farting, right?”
Not to mention, Dunleavy has been the assistant head coach of the Clippers for a long time, and everyone is really tired of hearing some things he says too much.
Larry Bird once said that a coach's authority generally lasts for three years. After three years, everyone will become resistant.
So Bird served as the head coach of the Pacers for three years, reached the finals once, and then retired without winning the championship.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Clippers, who were 11 points behind, regained their form after 15 minutes of adjustments.
At the beginning of the second half, Kaman caught the ball in the low post and turned for a layup, causing Duncan to foul.
Two free throws were made, and the point difference was reduced to 9 points. Within 10 points, the Clippers sounded the horn for counterattack.
Jefferson missed a strong shot in the low post. Curry counterattacked with the ball and cooperated with Randolph in the pick-and-roll near the free throw line.
Mid-range jump shot, hit!
In the first half, the three-point touch was not good.
In the second half, Curry did not force a three-pointer to find his touch.
First get back the feeling of shooting from the mid-range.
The Spurs' defense has always been weak in the mid-range.
Curry must seize this weak point, chase points, and at the same time find his shooting touch.
Duncan's low single was blocked by Randolph, and the Clippers continued to counterattack.
Curry held the ball in the middle and distributed the ball to Thornton who followed.
Thornton cut into the basket and dunked with both hands!
A quick wave of 6:0 stopped the Spurs.
Popovich called a timeout to try to prevent the Clippers from counterattacking.
But the entire Clippers team is in shape.
After the timeout, the Spurs relied on Parker's breakthrough throw to score points.
And Curry also broke through after a high pick-and-roll, and also hit the throw!
Baron Davis saw Curry in hot form and felt bad.
He decisively gave up the ball and allowed Curry to take charge of the Clippers' offense.
He serves as the second ball-handling point and shares the pressure with Curry.
Curry has turned on the full firepower mode in the mid-range!
A three-pointer? I won’t vote!
Randolph picked and rolled, and Curry made a mid-range jumper.
Thornton picks and rolls, Curry shoots directly from mid-range at 45 degrees!
Kaman and Randolph set up a pick-and-roll, and Curry shot from mid-range again!
The Spurs feel like they're back in 2008, a series dominated by that man from mid-range!
No matter how tight the defensive system is, there are always gaps.
Each team will choose to leave the gaps in the least threatening place.
Mid-range shooting has always been the least efficient way to score.
Therefore, the Spurs have always strictly guarded the penalty area and three-point line.
Give me enough space in the middle distance. If you have the ability, you can kill me.
There are very few people who can kill spurs.
Chris Paul only almost killed the Spurs.
Only the man in Los Angeles actually shot the Spurs to death.
Curry made 7 of 8 shots in the third quarter and scored 18 points in one fell swoop!
Not only did he score, he also provided four assists.
Randolph, Kaman, Thornton, Ricky Davis.
Everyone took a pass from Curry and hit a shot.
The Clippers turned the situation around in one fell swoop.
The two sides tied at 80:81, and the Clippers were 1 point ahead of the Spurs.
At this time, it was difficult for Min Congda to comfort himself, saying, "Curry just eats dumplings."
If this counts as eating dumplings, then the Curry family really owns a Northeastern dumpling restaurant, and there are too many dumplings.
Putting aside subjective consciousness, Min Congda analyzed from a very objective perspective that Curry's shooting ability and organizational play can definitely support a team's offensive tactical system.
He is not the kind of scorer who works piecemeal and contributes more than 20 points per game, but otherwise has very little contribution to wins and losses.
It's the kind that can disrupt the opponent's defensive system. You focus on defense, and I pass the ball to my teammates to make them better.
If you don't focus on defense, I can beat you to death on my own, a complete death.
Such players are rare in the NBA.
Duncan of the Spurs is one, and his arrival has brought about radical changes to the Spurs.
Thinking of the history of the Spurs and Duncan, a creepy feeling spread throughout Min Congda's body.
"Damn it, is it true that Curry is the top pick? What the hell kind of luck am I! The system is playing tricks on me!"
"System, I want to trade Curry."
[This transaction is unreasonable and cannot be realized. Forcing the transaction will cause the mission to fail. 】
"System, I want to trade Randolph."
[This transaction does not comply with the rules and cannot be implemented. Forcing the transaction will cause the mission to fail. 】
"System, let me trade Kaman!"
Why? There is no response from the system. Is it really possible to trade Kaman?
In this game, apart from Curry, Kaman performed the best.
He was like a magic needle in the paint, having already scored 18 points in the three quarters. Duncan White did not fall behind in the face of the real Duncan!
As the mainstay of the team's consecutive victories during this period, Min Congda has already extended his claws to him.
"I'm sorry Chris Kaman, who made you play so well? It's time to help you move."
