"How did the Lakers lose in Game 5? What happened?"
"I'm really speechless. It's unscientific and unreasonable. Kobe Bryant didn't bottom out?"
"Will there be any problems within the Lakers team? Should I call Jerry Buss to ask about the situation and see if I can be of any help?"
"No, no, if I look for Bas right now, they'll probably think I'm provoking, and the situation will be even worse."
"Hey! Sure enough, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. Look at it, is this situation over?"
After the fifth game between the Clippers and the Lakers, Min Congda was filled with anxiety for the whole day.
On the one hand, he was puzzled by the Lakers' collapse in Game 5, and on the other hand, he regretted why he wanted to help the Clippers by talking too much.
It's okay now. Is there something wrong? Not to mention the loss of 6,000 US dollars, the series suddenly became full of suspense.
Min Congda wrote an article after the game to review the fifth game between the Lakers and the Clippers. He tried to look at this incredible Clippers victory with an objective attitude.
The game deviated from Min Congda's expected trajectory from the first quarter.
The Lakers' offensive touch was extremely poor at the beginning, and they repeatedly missed shots from both inside and outside.
The Clippers found the confidence to face the Lakers through their last victory.
Defense, offense, playing much better than the previous three games.
Obviously, the players' integrity has been improved.
Most importantly, they found a way to compete with the Lakers.
The series is about everyone finding ways to defeat their opponents.
You look for my loopholes, and I look for your loopholes.
I attack your flaws while also compensating for my own.
Basically, by the sixth game of the series, there are no secrets between the two sides.
Each will find the most suitable lineup, rotation and tactical routine.
If the strength is close, then the outcome of the game will depend on the players' hard power and on-the-spot performance.
Now in Game 5, the Lakers have not adapted to the Clippers' new style of play and routines.
Randolph's low post offense basically disappeared.
The ball is held heavily by Curry, Gordon and Davis.
Especially Curry, who is still on the second unit.
However, the Lakers cannot completely ignore Randolph.
The fat black man used his mid-range, offensive rebounding and hitting the basket after receiving the ball to stir up trouble inside the Lakers.
Of course, the real problem is that the Lakers are in terrible shape.
Only 17 points were scored in one quarter, which was too few for the Lakers.
Kobe only scored 12 points in the entire game.
The last time he failed to score 15 points in the playoffs was Game 7 against the Rockets in last year's semifinals.
But Kobe's lack of scoring in that game was not because of poor condition, but because the Lakers team was in excellent condition.
In the tiebreaker, the Rockets were directly crushed. Kobe didn't even need to take a shot and the team won.
The situation in this game was completely opposite. The Lakers were crushed by the Clippers.
They trailed by 12 points in the first quarter and 18 points at halftime.
They tried to make a comeback in the second half, but neither offense nor defense improved.
In the end, it was an almost humiliating defeat for the Lakers.
The Clippers won a hearty victory.
For a time, NBA public opinion was quite shocked.
A group of games that was previously considered the least suspenseful.
Suddenly became the focus of the first round.
By this time, some strong teams have already entered the next round.
In the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers, Celtics, and Magic have all advanced successfully.
In the West, the Suns, Trail Blazers, Lakers, Jazz, the series reached Game 6.
It is excusable for several other series to reach the sixth game, but it is unreasonable for the Lakers to have a 3:0 lead and be dragged to the sixth game.
Moreover, Game 6 is still at the Clippers' home court, and it is still unclear whether the Lakers can escape unscathed.
As the saying goes, there are no regrets when you make a move. Min Congda accidentally opened up the Clippers' Ren and Du second line.
This caused a major change in the trend of the series.
"Damn it, Phil Jackson, you are still a famous coach, but you can't handle such a small tweak. I don't think you can win another championship in the future. I don't care what happens in the sixth game. I Combine the post-match summaries of the fourth and fifth games and send them to Fan Chen. This guy started urging me again. How could he understand my difficulties?"
Although Fan Chen is a Lakers fan, he is very excited that the Clippers can win two games in a row.
After all, I have watched the Clippers game and the post-game with Min Congda for a long time, and I have already developed feelings for him.
Fan Chen and all domestic fans are looking forward to the summary of these two games.
Although Min Congda was in a bad mood, he still completed his update task on time.
Min Congda titled his summary after these two games, "The Victory of Space and Ball Rights."
He wrote into the article his thoughts on offensive space conversion and ball power digestion that he learned in these two games.
In 2010, the professionalism of domestic football analysts was still limited to the analysis of high-level data.
But high-level data is only an auxiliary means to analyze the situation, not the only indicator.
The true interpretation of the game still needs to be combined with the situation on the field and what happens on the field.
Data is just an abstract expression, and the same data can reflect different game conditions.
Min Congda's article immediately hit the knowledge blind spot of most fans and football commentators at that time.
After reading it, Fan Chen thought it was very exciting. This time he immediately sent it to Goupu before he could translate it.
However, the response was somewhat dull. The first thought of most ordinary fans was: they didn’t understand it, and it didn’t seem particularly exciting.
"Master, we want to know more about the mood of the players and the mood of the Clippers general manager."
"Yeah, I don't know how the owners of the Clippers and Lakers feel now. It must be completely different from the past few days."
"Not to mention the team manager and owner, just Lakers fans and Clippers fans are flipping."
"Clippers fans are celebrating the New Year, Lakers fans are feeling uncomfortable, but be sure to go to a tiebreaker!"
He was also helpless. He knew that God M was the general manager of the Clippers. He read this article and thought, no wonder the Clippers are so powerful.
It turns out that there is such a strong general manager, and after the Clippers won, he showed no pride or performance at all, and was very calm.
With this calmness and calmness, Fan Chen felt that it was enough for him to study for two or three hours.
Later, Fan Chen translated the article into English and posted it to a foreign blog account.
After posting the blog article, Fan Chen left it alone because the number of views on foreign blogs was not large.
American fans are not much different from Chinese fans. They pay more attention to star gossip, trade news, and team scandal.
Therefore, NBA-Batman’s Twitter has a very high number of fans and is very active.
Blogs that focus on post-match comments and tactical analysis receive much less attention.
Only a small number of senior fans will pay attention and leave messages, and most people are not interested in anything too professional.
But when he got up the next day, Fan Chen found that there were many replies to this blog.
The number of clicks is much higher than that of previous articles. Why is this?
Then Fan Chen saw a private message in the background. Fan Chen did not reply to all private messages.
But this article aroused his interest because it said:
I am Rick Carlisle, head coach of the Dallas Mavericks. I read your post-game analysis article and I think it was very well written. I wonder if you are interested in working for the Mavericks. If so, please reply to me and I will give you my contact information.
Fan Chen thought to himself: "Is he really the head coach of the Mavericks?"
He clicked on the account and checked, and after real-name verification, it turned out to be Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle!
"He must have been conquered by Mr. Min's article. "The Victory of Space and Ball Power" actually moved Rick Carlisle. However, how could a tactical master like Mr. Min attack the Mavericks? "
Fan Chen did not reply to Carlisle in the end. He could not reveal his identity.
But his heart was filled with admiration for Min Congda.
This article "Victory of Space and Ball Rights" made Fan Chen feel that he had vaguely touched the door to the temple of basketball tactics that he had never touched before.
This is a commentary written from the perspective of basketball philosophy that may seem ordinary, but is actually extremely important.
"Nash's "The Equilibrium Point of an n-player Game" is only two pages, but it subverts Adam Smith's economics and game theory. Mr. Min's "Victory of Space and Ball Rights" may also subvert the current basketball ecology. …”
A strong feeling echoed in Fan Chen's chest. He thought that if Min Congda became a coach, he would be very great.
