No matter how much Dunleavy dislikes Min Congda's style, he recognizes Min Congda's basketball talent and tactical level.
The tactical adjustments he made in last year's playoffs were absolutely masterful, allowing the Clippers to win two games.
Don't underestimate these two victories. The confidence boost for the players and the team is huge and will be good for the future.
Of course, Min Congda just didn’t admit it. He kept saying that he copied it from NBA-Batman’s blog post.
Later, Lao Deng often read NBA-Batman's post-game blog posts, and the analysis was indeed quite professional and unique.
But if a person does not have enough skills, it is impossible to give reasonable tactical suggestions just by reading articles.
That must not only be based on a high level of tactical understanding, but also an in-depth understanding of the Clippers' player characteristics.
The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy means that if you only have tactical routines and do not understand the characteristics of the players, rash adjustments will only lead to a mess.
Before determining the team's tactical ideas for the new season, Dunleavy will refer to Min Congda's opinions, hoping to get some inspiration.
However, Min Congda said not to use the idea of last season's playoffs, but to return to the low-post routine with Randolph as the core.
Dunleavy was a little puzzled, and Min Congda thought to himself, even the Lakers could win with such a routine, wouldn't it take off if they kept using the Clippers?
Just use the original routine. Lao Deng, just mess around. I won't give you any random ideas.
The lesson of 6,000 US dollars, and the fear of winning the fifth and sixth games. I was so scared that I didn’t even dare to watch the game.
Min Congda will never forget it for the rest of his life, and he will never dare to do it again.
As for the reason, how could it be possible for someone like Min Congda who could make up nonsense to defeat him?
"Playing against the Lakers in the playoffs is special, because the Lakers are too strong inside, so we have to avoid their sharp edges. The regular season is still about stability, and Randolph is the team's most stable scoring point and tactical initiator. Why not use him well? In 82 games, it is impossible to have an inside line like the Lakers' top three in every game. Randolph still has the advantage most of the time."
"So, just follow the same routine as before, don't think about those nonsense, and cherish your hair Mike."
What Min Congda said makes sense. Dunleavy thinks that it is better to follow the routine of last season and take the medicine according to the prescription.
At 10 o'clock, Mike Dunleavy gathered everyone and started the first training session of the new season.
Min Congda was already thinking about the squid fried rice at noon, while watching the players' training.
Min Congda asked Ada who was sitting next to him, "Ada, please take a look, do you think our players have made any progress this season?"
Ada has gradually transformed from her previous life assistant to an administrative secretary. Min Congda no longer needs anyone to take care of her life.
At work, Ada is as meticulous as ever. She took out her notebook and has been observing and recording since entering the training hall.
"Stephen Curry, he looks stronger than last season. Participating in national team training and competition is a good improvement for him. I feel that he is more confident and faster on the court."
Curry is the number one observation target, and Min Congda agrees with Ada's statement.
A few days ago, Curry returned to Los Angeles, and Min Congda went to visit him at home.
This kid is much stronger and thicker than last season.
Although his face still looks like a minor, it has become significantly more mature.
This made Min Congda quite anxious. This kid has already entered the dream team. What is the upper limit?
Isn't Fan Chen's brat's prediction nonsense?
With this worry, Min Congda continues to hold shares and wait and see.
Ada continued: "Baron Davis, he is thinner than last season. He must have spent a lot of time losing weight in the summer. This is a good thing for his knees. His injuries will be alleviated and he can move His abilities will increase. He is only 32 years old and still has a lot of room for development."
Baron Davis did not waste time in the summer, but trained hard and lost weight.
He was originally quite fat, but after the start of the training camp, he actually looked slim.
Bad news, really bad news.
Min Congda thought to himself: "In the midst of wine, sex and wealth, are you going to rebel, Balang?"
The rest, like Randolph and Gasol, are in good condition, so there is basically no need to worry.
Anyway, if the trade can't go out, these two brothers will just stick around in the team.
What surprised Min Congda the most was Ricky Davis.
Last season, Davis turned around and embarked on the path of no return for 3D players.
At the beginning of this training camp, Min Congda discovered that Ricky had become stronger!
He worked out over the summer and gained muscle.
When he played shooting guard before, Ricky Davis had a relatively thin body in order to ensure flexibility.
And he is also lazy. Black people are naturally talented and have enough muscles, so they don’t go to the gym to gain muscle at all.
Now he is 32 years old, and he actually spent a summer building stronger muscles.
On the basis of sacrificing flexibility, improve one's defensive confrontation ability and shooting resistance to interference.
Davis is very satisfied and grateful for the mid-level contract that Min Congda gave him.
Originally, he was going to end his NBA career this summer and would have no ball to play with.
Now, he has found his own right path and met someone who appreciates him.
Then settle down and do what you can do in a down-to-earth manner.
At the age of 32, it is not too late for a basketball player to change.
Regarding Davis' change, Min Congda thinks it is harmless.
No matter how he turns around, he can't become an All-Star.
A has-been boss transforms into 3D and still has to occupy a middle-class contract.
Min Congda can accept this result.
In general, in Min Congda's opinion, none of the Clippers' newcomers are reliable.
The old men of the Clippers are in good condition, but they are just the same Yu Yong they were last season.
By the time the new season begins, the team's performance will plummet, and all the morale accumulated last season will be lost.
During the lunch break, the chef cooked the squid brought by Min Congda and added it to the fried rice to make delicious squid fried rice.
Min Congda ate one bowl alone, and Curry ate two bowls. Their appetites amazed Harden, George and other newcomers.
Harden couldn't help but ask: "Stephen, you eat so much because of hard training. Mr. Smart, why?"
Curry responded quickly: "He just can eat it."
Min Congda retorted: "Fart! Do you know how hard I work as a general manager? What's wrong with eating more? One more!"
Curry asked: "Smart, you spent so much effort on the new LOGO in September. I was wondering, are there any changes to our jerseys?"
Min Congda said: "Of course there are changes. The jerseys that used to be red with blue letters are now blue with red letters!"
Curry said: "But we already have a set of jerseys, which are blue with red letters."
"..."
"Really? What a coincidence?"
