Min Congda washed his face in the bathroom and calmed down his mood.
He really felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach just now. It wasn't because of a bad meal or a gastrointestinal problem.
Rather, tension and stress lead to some gastrointestinal disorders. To put it bluntly, it is caused by bad emotions.
"It's okay, it's okay. The first half is not over yet. Why are you so ignorant? I have watched the game for more than a year. It is not advisable to discuss one goal, one quarter, half time, or even one game. !”
"Believe in the Spurs, believe in Popovich, and believe in Duncan, the superstar!"
Min Congda encouraged the Spurs and himself at the same time.
At the same time, he comforted himself: "So what if we win this game? So what if we win this series? It's just about winning. Let them win. If the sky doesn't fall, there will always be a reckoning later. when."
Over the past year or so, Min Congda's fastest improvement has not been in his basketball knowledge, but in his level of self-comfort.
Sometimes people just need to deceive themselves, otherwise how can they face this bloody reality and the ever-dwindling balance in their bank cards.
"Damn, what hurts the most is my money! Winning a game will deduct 3,000! Wow, is it easy for me to make some money? The working class is exhausted and tired... Hey, I don't seem to be very tired. I sleep in late every day and don't go to work. We also play around and go fishing at night, which is much better than working-class people.”
"It's okay, it's okay. Compared with the US$360 million we will get in the future, these are just small amounts of money and not worth mentioning!"
"Cheer up, there is still the second half, believe in the Spurs and the superstar!"
At this time, if the Spurs players and coaching staff had half the confidence of Min Congda, they would not have fallen behind by 15 points in the first half.
In the middle of the second quarter, the Spurs were only about 10 points behind. Near the end of the second quarter, the Clippers suddenly launched another 7-0 offensive wave.
The three young players Harden, George, and Curry drove the pace of the game very fast.
Curry hit his fourth three-pointer of the first half from outside.
Harden assisted George for two consecutive dunks.
The score of the two teams in the first half was fixed at 64:49, a full 15-point gap!
No one would have thought that in the first round of the Western Conference, the first team would play the eighth team, and in the eighth half, they would actually lead the first team by 15 points?
Is this in San Antonio? Is this a 60-win team?
Although the Spurs have two generals sitting on the bench, Ginobili and Miller.
But it's not like we were so far behind at halftime, and we were beaten so hard that we couldn't fight back.
Min Congda came out of the toilet and returned to the audience with a calm heart.
I looked up and saw the score, damn! I felt dizzy and my heart started to hurt again.
He sat down in the auditorium and asked Ada: "Ada, why are you 15 points ahead in this moment?"
Ada said: "Curry scored a three-pointer, George dunked twice, and the Spurs never scored, so... they were 15 points ahead."
Min Congda thought to himself, are the Spurs' offense so weak?
Where's Duncan? This kind of moment should not be the time for superstars to perform.
Go hard inside and open up the situation!
However, Duncan scored a total of 6 points in the first half.
And none of these 6 points were scored in the low post.
They are all tip-ins after grabbing pie or grabbing offensive rebounds.
When he holds the ball in the low post, the Clippers use Gasol to defend him one-on-one.
Not to mention double-teaming, there is no treatment for the two forwards.
Even Gasol still has time to help defend others.
If it was Duncan at his peak, you would be so defensive.
If I don't beat the shit out of you at halftime, I can only say that you've done it cleanly.
But Duncan is really not doing well this year. A knee injury caused his scoring average to drop to 13 points per game in the regular season.
This is Duncan's lowest scoring average in the regular season since his rookie season.
The knee injury greatly hindered him. At the same time, the Spurs did not design Duncan's new tactical routine.
Basically using him as a senior blue-collar player is actually a huge waste for Duncan.
Even if he declines, his experience and ability are still there, and we must think about how to use him better.
It can only be said that the Spurs and Popovich felt so comfortable lying on Duncan's body sucking blood.
Once Duncan's ability drops from a top star to an ordinary star, he doesn't know how to use him.
After rewriting the instructions for three seasons, I still don’t get it right.
"Although Duncan is not very good, he still has Ginobili, right? Ginobili is resting this game, and when Ginobili comes back in the next game, the Clippers will definitely not be able to hold on."
"Also, the Spurs will make good adjustments during the halftime break. I...forget it, I'd better not go back to the locker room because I can't give the Clippers any ideas."
Min Congda was afraid that he could not help but give advice to the team.
As for giving the Spurs ideas? He does have an idea.
But honestly, not much.
When Min Congda couldn't think of any clever way to make a comeback, it meant that the chance was really slim.
The only better response strategy he can think of is to use more pick-and-rolls in the second half to maximize Duncan's role.
Duncan's screens are top-notch among NBA superstars. He blocks people very solidly and his movements are clean and neat.
Can cut inside, has strong finishing ability at the basket, and strong secondary rebounding ability.
Duncan Parker's pick-and-roll cooperation was once a killer weapon in the Spurs' offense.
Even in the high-intensity playoffs, it is still a very deadly weapon.
This deadly weapon is bound to be used by the Spurs in the second half.
Min Congda's guess was accurate, and the Spurs adjusted their offensive strategy in the second half.
Parker and George Hill increased their pick-and-roll cooperation with Duncan.
Use a simple and efficient pick-and-roll as a way to launch a positional offense.
George Hill won two free throw opportunities at the beginning of the second half.
This is a good thing for the Spurs, as they can score points and kill Gasol at the same time.
Gasol has grown very quickly this season and has become the team's defensive core.
This foul at the beginning of the second half brought his number of fouls to three, which was a bit dangerous.
George Hill made two free throws.
"Okay, good, starting from the pick-and-roll, it's a good start. But the key later is defense. You have to defend well... That's right, let Hill mark Curry and Parker deal with Balang Day. Wes, that's right."
An adjustment on the Spurs' defensive end allowed Hill to guard Curry and Parker to defend Balang.
In the first half, Curry made 4 of 6 three-pointers, almost missing Popovich.
Curry, who scored 16 points in the first half, made the Spurs feel intimidated, so in the second half, Hill, who was better defensive, kept an eye on Curry.
Gasol held the ball in the high post to provide support. Seeing the Spurs' defensive matchup change, Baron Davis dropped to the low post.
Gasol passed the pass to Baron. Baron Davis stuck out his butt, turned around and pushed away Parker, and hit the basket with his right hand!
"Shet! Baron Davis still has this skill!" Min Congda was furious.
Big Beard reached the playoffs and was ranked No. 1 in eighth place. He has experience and insights!
