(The chapter number is wrong, the first one is 331)
Min Congda still felt a little uneasy.
After all, he is also a person who has been slapped in the face many times.
For example, Curry often performed like this in his first season.
The shooting percentage in the first half was shit, but in the third quarter it started to recover, and in the fourth quarter it stabbed you in the heart.
Therefore, Min Congda rarely joked with Curry and was afraid of being slapped in the face.
You see, Curry didn't perform well in the first quarter, missing two three-pointers from the outside.
Curry, who felt bad, immediately gave the control of the game to Baron Davis.
Davis was in good form, leading the team forward and seizing the score.
At the beginning of the second quarter, another bearded Harden was still sorting out the Clippers' offense.
Because of their 12-game winning streak, the Clippers players, who had no shot in the arm, were slack on both offense and defense.
Even Zach Randolph wasn't as active as usual when getting stuck under the basket.
There is no way, people are like this, human nature is like this, no matter how strong the players are, they are not robots.
There are bound to be ups and downs in your commitment to the game.
Moreover, the Cavaliers' defense is quite tight, and the system built by Brown is still very solid.
If there is any flaw, it is that the one-on-one defense ability in the backcourt is not strong.
Sessions, Miller, and Anthony Parker can only be said to be so-so in terms of individual defense capabilities.
Harden knew that his teammates were in average condition today, so he began to increase his one-on-one singles in the second quarter.
The second-year Harden is improving very quickly. Young players like him and Curry can make great progress by practicing while playing from the beginning to the end of the season.
Especially after Cole arrived, he gave Harden guidance and asked him to increase his lethality in the mid-range.
In this way, in the future, Curry will focus on three-point shooting and also have mid-range shooting, while Harden will focus on mid-range shooting and have both three-point shooting.
The two have each other's strengths in offensive range, which can make the Clippers' offensive system more three-dimensional and more difficult to defend.
Harden faced Cavaliers backup guard Manny Harris and successfully defeated his opponent alone.
After scoring 6 points in a row, the Clippers were close to the Cavaliers in terms of score.
James is not present, and the core of the Cavaliers' offense is Jamison.
With the intensity of the regular season, Jamison is still very useful.
He has flexible feet, comprehensive skills, accurate half-shot shots, and is also good at three-pointers.
However, his body shape, playing style, and personality limited him from achieving higher achievements.
Last season, they were defeated by Kevin Garnett in the playoff semifinals, which indirectly led to the collapse of the Cavaliers.
If it weren't for Min Chongda's night talk in the attic, the Cavaliers would have disintegrated, and Jamison would also have entered the end of his career as a wanderer.
Min Congda believes that the Cavaliers' positioning of Jamison is problematic.
They traded for Jamison in the hope that he would become the team's second scoring point, the most important playmaker.
However, Jamison has an introverted personality and is talented but not domineering on the offensive end. As a result, he can play well but cannot lead his teammates. He needs others to lead him.
And his defense is really bad. In addition to his good personal skills in offense, he lacks organizational and coordination abilities.
Therefore, Min Congda's suggestion is to let Jamison be a fake starter and come up to grab points in the first half of the first quarter.
In the middle of the game, he started to play in the second quarter and became the main offensive point of the second team to score.
Because he lacks the ability to support, the effect of letting him play as the sixth man will not be very good.
Scoring is what Jamison does best, so he must take advantage of him.
Min Congda even suggested that James should give some ball rights to Jamison.
However, this suggestion did not seem to be followed by James.
The Clippers gradually regained some form in the second quarter.
Harden is completely different from Jamison. He has the ability to score in isolation.
At the same time, his organizational and coordination skills are quite strong and he is full of imagination.
During a fast break counterattack, Harden passed a long ground-breaking pass through the defender's crotch.
The ball was given to Paul George. George caught the ball and rushed to the basket for a dunk!
This is the first goal that George has scored in this game. It is not easy to finally score.
And this kind of offense is undoubtedly what Clippers fans are happy to see.
Open and full of imagination, with various possible attack modes.
Every attack is like a blind box. You don't know what surprises these young people will bring you.
Of course, for Min Congda, these were all frightening.
He praised these goals as being really beautiful.
While complaining in his mind, how come these young men are getting better and better as they play?
Why would I bring such a group of people to the Clippers?
Min Congda became more and more doubtful about his own judgment.
Fortunately, the Clippers have successfully signed Jeff Ball today.
From now on, the team's various tasks will be controlled by Ball, who is experienced in bankruptcy.
Min Congda thinks there will be no problem!
At the end of the first half, the Clippers and Cavaliers tied at 55:59, with the Cavaliers leading the Clippers by 4 points.
During the intermission, Min Congda's cell phone dinged, and it turned out to be a text message from James.
"Smart, what's going to happen with our defense in the second half?"
Damn it, this kid really doesn’t shy away from anything. He sent a text message directly from midfield, and gave him help outside the field?
Min Congda replied: "I am the general manager of the Clippers, you ask me?"
"Didn't you ask me to play hard and try to win the game? You said you wanted to be eighth in the Western Conference!"
Min Congda just wanted to send a text message, but thought about it and couldn't leave any written evidence.
Although James has a good relationship with him now, he will not blow himself up.
But leave the text message, in case it is accidentally hacked or exposed by others, even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won't be able to clean it up.
So, Min Congda excused himself to go to the bathroom, went to the bathroom, and dialed James' number.
Generally speaking, during a game, mobile phones are definitely not allowed in the locker room. You have to focus on the game.
But James obviously has a privilege in the Cavaliers. During halftime, he can use his mobile phone casually.
James ran to the bathroom to answer Min Congda's phone. The reason why he sent the text message was not because he felt he couldn't get through.
But he wanted to hear Min Congda's opinion. Every time he listened to his analysis, he always gained a lot. He felt that he would be able to be a coach after taking another season of classes.
"LeBron, in this case, let Jamison lead the second team in the second half. If our Clippers have a lineup with one big and four small, you also have one big and four small, and let Danny Green have a try. His defense is still okay, and his three-point shooting is also good. However, don’t let him do other things, do you understand?"
"Alright, I got it."
"Don't send me random text messages in the future, got it? Delete all the ones you sent before!"
"I know, that's it."
After hanging up the phone and coming out of the bathroom, Mike Brown looked at James and said, "Have you finished using the bathroom? Let's talk about tactics."
James said: "Let me talk about the rotation of personnel first. Our second team should make some adjustments in the second half..."
