Min Congda regrets why he didn't come up with the brilliant idea of letting the Clippers reverse version tactics earlier.
However, when he thought about it carefully, he felt that he had just come into contact with basketball and did not know enough about basketball tactics and the NBA version.
At that time, I just thought that if Curry and other outside players were allowed to play randomly, the team's record would get worse and worse.
Who knew that although basketball is a team sport, the NBA is a business league that is happy to create heroes.
With a high level of confrontation and the support of the whistle, sometimes singles are not only not bad, but also very efficient.
After gradually clarifying his thinking, Min Congda clarified his goal and firmly asked the Clippers to implement the passing and cutting system.
This system fits perfectly with the idea of "everyone has a ball to play" that Min Congda made up before, and it is consistent.
He doesn't even need to change his excuse to continue to promote his theory of "everyone has a ball to play", which is logically impeccable!
In December, he went to the training center more often and became more diligent. He wanted to supervise the coaching staff to change their tactical ideas.
Dunleavy, Kim Hughes and others had no choice but to rush to the shelves, hold meetings, check information, and design new training methods.
Lao Deng, Lao Jin and others are old, and many of their ideas are deeply ingrained, making it difficult to change.
For example, Kim Hughes tried to use Twitter to contact NBA-Batman. It took him a long time to register a Twitter.
How did he know that NBA-Batman was Min Congda? How could Min Congda give him advice?
The previous article related to defense was leaked, which has benefited the Clippers a lot.
He also needs to give guidance on the Clippers' offense. Even if it is a reverse version of the tactics, it will be very bad if they play like the Kings.
Sure enough, even though they didn't win the championship, they were still number one in the Western Conference and the team that was one game away from reaching the Western Conference Finals.
Therefore, it is impossible to give advice. It would be good if I didn’t blacklist you, Lao Jin.
As for daily inquiries, Min Congda directly said, "I don't understand offense. If I can pay you such a high salary, what will you do for a living?"
Lao Deng and the coaching staff could only bite the bullet and continue to engage in tactical development, but there was not a single tactical development talent among these people.
On December 22, the Clippers faced the Houston Rockets at home. Dunleavy asked the players to pass and cut from the first quarter.
As you can imagine, the Clippers, who clearly had a huge advantage inside, struggled on the offensive end.
Instead, the Rockets took the lead and fell behind from the first quarter.
After half the game, the Clippers players were very awkward and ended the first half trailing the Rockets by 10 points.
In the second half, Dunleavy allowed the players more freedom to play. James Harden came off the bench and scored three consecutive points from the outside before the score became close.
However, the momentum of the game was seized by the Rockets. The Clippers' offensive rhythm was completely chaotic, resulting in loopholes on the defensive end.
The final score was fixed at 93:99. A bad loss after the Clippers changed their tactical system made the players a little discouraged.
However, the players did not complain. Instead, they worked overtime and trained. After the game, Gasol, Harden, and Ricky Davis all stayed at the Staples Center to practice tactical movement.
Curry didn't go home either. Instead, he sat on the sidelines and gave instructions, teaching Harden, the little fat guy, how to run without the ball.
Harden's style of play is more like a ball-handling organizer, but with his intelligence, it is not that difficult to learn to move.
It's just that in the NBA, after professional players start their careers, some hone their skills, some work hard on their muscles, and some improve their overall outlook.
But there are two things that are the most difficult to improve in the NBA, one is basic skills, and the other is awareness of movement without the ball.
These two things often start to accumulate when a player first comes into contact with basketball and gradually form a habit.
In high school and college, if you have coaching and training, you can develop it and use it throughout your life.
But in the NBA, there will be no coaches watching you practice this, and the players themselves rarely improve.
Because this thing doesn't have much effect on the Canadian contract. What the team cares about is your strengths, your data, your physical fitness, whether you play well, whether you can plug and play, etc.
You can move without the ball if you have it. If I don't have it, just find other players who have it. This is not a scarce thing in the NBA.
What is scarce in the NBA is strong physical fitness, a shortage of playmakers, a shortage of strong singles players, and a shortage of interior rim protectors.
If you want to get a contract, just follow these rare attributes and practice hard according to your own strengths.
Practice without the ball and tactical movement, so what if you can practice it? If you change the team, if other teams don't use this tactic, wouldn't your practice be in vain?
However, Harden is willing to study and explore with Curry and Gasol.
Because he is still young and innocent, no one on the Clippers is doting on anyone, and everyone plays under the baton of Mr. Smart.
Of course, Min Congda himself didn't know that he was so proud after losing this game that he happily went to Beckham's nightclub after receiving a salary of 2,000 yuan.
On December 25, during the Christmas game, the Clippers did not receive a broadcast arrangement for the game.
On December 26, the Clippers faced the Phoenix Suns at home.
Compared with the last game against the Rockets, the Clippers' passing and cutting were a little better this time, and they played back and forth with the Suns.
But you must know that the Suns are no longer the same Suns that reached the Western Conference Finals last season. The Suns have collapsed inside after Stoudemire left.
They traded for JJ Hickson from the Cavaliers, hoping that Hickson could fill the hole left by Stoudemire at the power forward position.
But Hickson's offensive talent is too far behind Stoudemire. Doing this is as whimsical as the Rockets thinking that Ariza can turn into Tracy McGrady by wearing No. 1.
In order to get Hickson, the Suns also sent away Robin Lopez, leaving the team very weak at the center position.
On December 19, when the Suns realized that Turkoglu was not the team's answer, they sent Turkoglu and Richardson to the Magic in exchange for Carter, Gortat and Clark.
After the Magic experienced a failed 2010 season, they realized that Turkoglu was the most suitable for Warcraft, so they went round and round to get the Turkish agent back.
It is said that a good horse never turns back, and a team like Magic is really desperate to seek medical treatment, because if they don't produce some results, Xia Tian is afraid that they won't be able to keep World of Warcraft.
The people the Suns exchanged proved to be incapable of reshaping the team. The sun was setting, and the countdown to the Suns' reconstruction had begun.
Faced with such a team, the Clippers, who had an absolute advantage inside, were inextricably linked to each other. The offensive end was sluggish and completely lost its previous simplicity and efficiency.
Only when Harden rushes on the court with his substitutes, the Clippers can take advantage. Instead, the starting lineup is dawdling and engaging in performance art.
Needless to say, what I suffered from was the pass-and-cut tactical system. It was not a natural tacit understanding, but a deliberate tactic. Can it be smooth?
Steve Kerr, the commentator of Turner TV Network and the general manager of the Suns last season, saw this situation and said with confusion: "The Clippers' recent offensive tactics are very confusing. They are trying Something completely different from before. Yesterday, I also received a call from the Clippers coaching staff. They said they wanted me to interview as the team’s offensive tactics assistant coach..."
The commentary partner asked: "Really? Do you agree? Are you going for an interview?"
Col paused for a moment and said: "Well... unless they can help me pay enough liquidated damages, why would I give up the job I like now and do something very inexplicable? It's inexplicable. Such a change is really... baffling."
He said this, but Cole had other thoughts in his heart.
