The betrayal in Min Congda's mouth was naturally a betrayal of himself.
In order to no longer provide advice on the Clippers' offensive and defensive tactics, in addition to not watching Clippers games recently, he has not participated in many Clippers training.
I'm afraid that if I accidentally spill the beans and provide any good advice to the Clippers, let Kerr and Deng do whatever they want.
But after watching the first quarter, the Clippers' defensive details were getting better and better, and there was something special on the offensive end that caught Min Congda's attention.
"Is this the passing and cutting offensive system created by Cole? It doesn't feel like the cards are played according to the routine. Although the starting position is 1-4, the backhand is different. It is not a simple cut from the backcourt to the basket. Instead, set up a second receiving support point at the two waist positions, usually Baron Davis. If he comes on the bench later, it will probably be Harden? Randolph also has this ability."
"Using the one-on-one local advantage at the waist as the pivot point, and then starting reverse runs and air cuts, this...how does this feel a bit like a triangle offense? What has Cole been practicing in the past month?"
Min Congda saw the shadows of pass-cutting and triangle offense in the Clippers' offense.
And in terms of coverage and support, the Clippers are not limited to Gasol and Randolph.
Both George and Davis can participate in the coverage and provide coverage and support for others anytime and anywhere.
Although Ricky Davis and George did not finish very well, Ricky also made two passing errors in the first quarter.
But because of this awareness, the Clippers' offensive passing is quite smooth, as smooth as using Kaisero.
"This... what type of pass is this? But it seems to be a pass. It doesn't matter, although the game is very smooth, this kind of offense will definitely not be able to fight a tough battle!"
Min Congda watched one section and said that the Clippers couldn't fight a tough battle.
But look at the score, the Clippers led the Bucks by 14 points at 29:15 in the first quarter.
If the Clippers are going to win this game, it will probably be a big win.
In fact, in the previous games, the Clippers led from the front in several games.
As a result, the opponent was reversed in the fourth quarter because the team's tactics were still not proficient enough.
At the same time, in order to pursue smooth cooperation, excessive passing leads to an increase in mistakes, which is also a major reason for being overturned.
In the game against the Mavericks, the Clippers led their opponents by 15 points, but were finally reversed by the Dallas people.
This shows that the upper limit of the Clippers' offensive and defensive tactics is very high. What they lack is running-in, tacit understanding, the growth of players' personal abilities, and what they lack most is Curry.
Curry came on the field in the second quarter. Before going on the court, he touched his right ankle and breathed a sigh of relief.
When he stepped onto the playing field, huge cheers erupted.
Tonight, you can see many Hollywood stars in the front row of Staples Center, all of whom are here to watch Curry come back.
As a second-year rookie, his popularity can be imagined, and it also proves how big the bonus of being the number one pick is.
Although Curry's performance in his rookie season was excellent, it was not yet phenomenal. If he played in Milwaukee and was not the No. 1 pick, he would not receive such treatment when he came back.
After more than two months of rest, Curry's physical condition is very good, but he is a little tight. After receiving the ball for the first time, he missed a three-point shot from the outside.
Then in defense, Curry fought hard against his opponent. It was obvious that his body was stronger than before the injury.
During this period, he did not relax his fitness training at all. He still started doing upper body strength exercises every morning when he got up.
This habit started in the rookie training camp last season and continues to this day, rain or shine, no matter injuries.
Curry soon got his first goal, circling Milicic on the outside and cutting inside.
Standing in the corner on the left, Harden hit the ground and drove straight to the basket. Curry caught the ball and made an easy layup.
Min Congda's heart trembled when he saw the ball, fearing that Curry might sprain his ankle again.
Although Curry's injury would be beneficial to him, he doesn't want to see his friend suffer from injuries.
Min Congda was very conflicted in his heart. He thought to himself: "Why don't we find an excuse to send Curry to the Development League? Let him go to the Development League to play a few games to find his condition? It will save him having to crawl around on the court and watch. I’m upset!”
Generally, the development league releases marginal players who cannot play without the ball, so that they can maintain their condition.
The main players returning from injury are sometimes sent to the Development League to practice and recover.
Min Congda thought about letting Curry dominate the Development League. You are good at dominating the Development League. Don't harm me and cause me trouble.
In just five minutes of playing time, Curry showed a very good competitive state.
He ran tirelessly to the basket and corners, messing up the Bucks' defense.
In addition to cutting to the basket and succeeding in a layup, Curry also received an assist from Harden in the right corner and hit a three-pointer!
This boy feels so good.
Steve Kerr, who was sitting on the bench, was very excited when he saw Curry's performance in five minutes.
"Yes, yes, this is the most important piece of the puzzle in my system, Curry, Stephen Curry!"
Cole has repeatedly trained the Clippers' passing and cutting offensive system in recent times. He did not follow the dogma and insisted that the players play according to a certain routine.
He first instilled the concepts of passing and running into the players, and then led the players to practice some classic tactical routines.
On the basis of classic routines, set up some defensive scenarios and let the players discuss and imagine solutions on their own.
For example, how to release the ball from a double team at the top of the arc? What’s the next step if the air cut fails? What if the counter-run from the bottom line is perfectly rotated by the opponent?
Players participate in it and figure out their own solutions, just like a teacher teaching difficult problems in class. The problem-solving methods taught by the teacher are always not as impressive as the ones they figure out themselves.
The Clippers' young players are all players with high golf IQs, like Harden and Gasol. They often have three or four solutions to their tactics at the beginning of the season.
Now under Cole's guidance, this number has increased to five or six types. In short, various situations can be dealt with.
Of course, if Min Congda is asked to solve it, he can solve it at least seven or eight times, and maybe he can also come up with some new solutions creatively.
After a short period of training and running-in, the Clippers' offense was very obvious, but the lack of an off-ball master in the Clippers' backcourt made the tactics a bit lame.
And Curry is undoubtedly the most powerful leg.
After five minutes of play in the second quarter, Deng was forced to leave the game. Deng did not dare to let Curry stay for one more minute.
In five minutes, Curry scored 5 points, sent 2 assists, and 1 steal, which was quite good.
The Clippers led the Bucks by 14 points at halftime 67:53, with excellent offense and defense.
Danger signals kept ringing in Min Congda's mind.
In the second half of the third quarter, the sirens reached their highest pitch.
During a defense, substitute Curry defended around the screen.
Bogut, who was being blocked, hit his eyebrow with an elbow, drawing blood.
The team doctor quickly dealt with Curry's injury. Because his ankle was already injured, in order to prevent him from being brutally treated again, Deng directly asked Curry to return to the locker room.
In response, Milicic, who also came on as a substitute, caught the ball in a pick-and-roll during the offense and dunked Bogut down the middle. At the same time, he "accidentally" hit Bogut's nose with an elbow during the dunk, crooking the bridge of his nose. .
Bogut suffered a nosebleed and had to come off the field to receive treatment.
Although Milicic received a technical foul, he won the cheers of the fans.
He won the approval of the audience with his tough counterattack.
The morale of the Clippers team reached a peak.
"Such a team that attacks smoothly, defends smart, and is united to face the outside world, you can see that it is a strong team at first glance!"
"But how could things become like this again!"
