Dunleavy was also stunned when Min Congda asked this question. He thought to himself, isn't this the article you wrote and gave it to Olshey, and then asked Olshey to show it to me?
Why are you still saying that I learned it secretly?
Dunleavy told the truth, "It was you who taught me the article you wrote. That article was so well written."
Min Congda was confused. Did you really get defensive based on the article I wrote?
There is indeed a traitor among us! Who stole my article?
Min Congda said calmly, "Oh, yes, but I haven't finished my article yet. Who showed it to you?"
Dunleavy said: "It's Olshey... Hey! This ball was fouled! Why didn't the foul be called!"
Lao Deng was doing two things, chatting with Min Congda while paying attention to the situation on the court.
Bledsoe's layup was blocked by Bynum and he fell to the ground. Dunleavy thought the ball was a foul and protested to the referee.
Min Congda found out that Olshe was the traitor, but how did he get the article?
"I know, it must be Fan Chen!"
Almost a month passed before Min Congda realized that Fan Chen "stole" the article and gave the Clippers a new defensive system.
His reaction speed is quite slow.
But Min Congda couldn't blame Fan Chen. Fan Chen must have given the article to Olshe out of good intentions.
The only person to blame is Min Congda himself. He wrote some crappy articles and gave ideas to the Clippers, but he still left them in his draft box after he finished writing.
But thinking on the bright side, if he opens his mind, Min Congda can write more articles to influence the Clippers, but next he will have to write a reverse version, a tactical article that is not conducive to the Clippers.
After Dunleavy finished complaining to the referee, he returned to the bench and said to Min Congda: "Hey Smart, I read the tactical article you wrote. It was very good, but why do I think the style of the article is different from the one on the NBA-Batman blog? Very similar?"
Min Congda said: "Uh... tactical articles, are there any styles or styles? It's not writing. Isn't it just a little bit of back and forth? I said, I usually read that blog, maybe I was influenced by him."
In order not to expose himself, Min Congda could only speak vaguely.
This explanation was quite plausible, but Dunleavy did not delve into it.
Lao Deng knew Min Congda's talent in basketball tactics.
Any tactical system, this brat can figure it out just by looking at it.
Dunleavy is still impressed by the team adjustments he proposed in last year's playoffs.
Dunleavy quickly returned his attention to the game.
In the third quarter, the two teams played very fiercely, and the point difference remained at around 5 points.
The Lakers are in average condition due to physical reasons, while the Clippers are mobilizing their troops.
Dunleavy kept making substitutions and started an 11-man rotation. Harden, Hinrich, Bonner, George, and Tucker all had the opportunity to perform.
No matter what, Lao Deng still has to implement Min Congda's policy of "everyone has a ball to play" and give every player a chance to play and practice.
The Clippers' bench players are very impressive. Even Tucker, who is sitting at the end of the bench, can make his own contribution in the game.
And Lao Deng also discovered that Harden is a very versatile player and has greater applicability as a substitute than Gordon.
Gordon is slightly single in terms of function and technology, while Harden can really do everything and play in any situation.
He has strong plasticity, diverse playing styles, and rich imagination. The more he has the ball, the more mistakes this kid will make.
In his rookie season, Harden only averaged 1 turnover per game with the Thunder. When Curry was injured in the Clippers, his role increased and he averaged 2.5 turnovers per game.
Entering the fourth quarter, the Clippers still led the Lakers by 6 points, 81:75.
This means that the Lakers' efforts in the third quarter were in vain and they could not catch up.
In the fourth quarter, physical problems became more prominent and the Lakers made more mistakes.
This was very fatal for the Lakers. The Clippers seized the opportunity and succeeded in counterattacking with continuous fast breaks.
Bledsoe scored 6 points in a row on the fast break, and the Clippers expanded the point difference to 10 points for the first time.
The Lakers have no motivation to reverse the situation and chase points in this game. The third championship in three consecutive championships will test the team's character the most.
After losing the Finals in 2008, the Lakers in 2009 shared the same hatred and held their breath during the regular season.
Last season, the Lakers slacked off a bit in the regular season, but they still fought hard to defend their title.
When the title defense is successful, the tone will really vent a lot, and the one who can persevere the most is Kobe.
However, Kobe was affected by injuries and his dominance declined. He was no longer at his peak last season.
This season, Kobe's two-point shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage have dropped slightly so far.
The average points scored per game is about 2 points lower than the same period last season, which means one goal less per game.
It may seem like very little, but the outcome of a game sometimes depends on one or two goals.
In order to keep Kobe in the best condition and prevent injuries from further affecting him.
Phil Jackson reduced Kobe's playing time from 38 minutes last season to 33 minutes.
In the second half of the fourth quarter, it was difficult to catch up with the 10-point gap. In the last two minutes, Jackson had to replace Kobe.
As a result, Kobe was unhappy on the bench and said bluntly: "Two minutes, there are still two minutes left! Don't replace me!"
Jackson said: "It's hard to chase 10 points. Our shooting felt bad tonight. Let's rest."
Kobe shook his head: "No way, I will not give up the game and leave me on the court."
Kobe has seldom lost his temper like this in the past two years. He will listen to whatever Jackson does.
Perhaps the third year of a three-peat put pressure on Kobe, who insisted on staying on the court.
In 1998, the final year of the Chicago Bulls' three-peat, Jordan averaged 38 minutes per game, more than in the 1997 season.
His shooting percentage dropped to the "trough" of 46% since the 1986 season (this was Kobe's peak), in order to rely on personal offense to prop up the Bulls who were full of injured soldiers.
Kobe obviously wanted to be like Jordan, but it's a pity that he couldn't achieve it.
In the last two minutes, Kobe missed a strong three-point shot from the outside and was caught by the Clippers to counterattack.
After getting the rebound, Gasol made a long pass to the frontcourt. Bledsoe ran for the fast break, caught the ball and layup for his 12th point of the game.
This ball completely gave up the hope of the Lakers' comeback. Min Congda wanted to curse, "Damn it, Kobe, you are playing blindly again, you don't have the strength."
Min Congda could feel that Kobe's knees were heavier than last season. Time is not forgiving and no one will be spared.
"By the way, there's that Bledsoe! I really shouldn't have brought you here. I'll think of a way to kill you."
After Curry was deceived and reimbursed by Min Congda, Min Congda targeted Bledsoe again, and the reverse elimination plan was about to start again.
