When the official timeout came in the second quarter, Min Congda's face looked as ugly as if he had eaten shit.
I also hope that you will collapse on the court and let the Blazers tie the score.
Are you going to bite your tongue and not let go? We also need to widen the point difference a little bit.
Should I not pay you wages or sign a contract?
Why are you trying to make so much money in one season?
Look at Milicic, he played half a quarter and his arm is already scarred.
There were bloody wounds, some were caused by others bumping into him, and some were left by him bumping into others.
You are not playing basketball, you are playing free fighting.
During the timeout, Min Congda couldn't help but ask Milicic: "Dak, you just called everyone over, what did you say?"
Milicic smiled and said: "I just said, I will give them some color later, so there is no need to be afraid of them."
After speaking, Milicic showed a happy expression on his face.
He has changed a lot since coming to the Clippers.
For example, he grew his hair long again.
When he first entered the league, he was a handsome Serbian guy with broken blond hair.
Later, he also got a slutty oily head, which obviously didn't suit him very well.
After moving around many teams, he shaved his hair and turned it into a round hair.
But the round inch did not make him look energetic, but made him more depressed.
Now, Milicic has grown his hair again and combed it neatly.
Not showy, not decadent, just a very normal hairstyle.
It can be seen that he is very happy in the Clippers and everything is fine.
Min Congda felt bad, but he had nothing to do. The timeout ended and the main players came back on stage.
Curry came off the court in the middle of the first quarter and did not return until the middle of the second quarter.
The disadvantage is that the hot feeling has cooled down, but the advantage is that the physical energy is really abundant.
The Clippers' main players were clearly holding back their energy off the court.
After re-appearing, it was a high-intensity attack and defense.
This Blazers player is a bit overwhelmed.
High-intensity confrontation generally does not last too long.
Even the top teams usually take the lead after a few minutes of high intensity.
Then relax the intensity and see-saw on both sides, one for you and one for me.
At the critical moment, increase the intensity and take it away in one wave.
This is called pace of play.
The intensity has been so high that no one can bear it.
Unless it is a very important game, such as the finals tiebreaker.
That kind of person will start from the first round and keep fighting until the end.
What about the Clippers? Curry and others had no place to vent their pent-up energy.
I was already suffocating enough during the offseason. In the first game of the new season, I took a break after playing half of the first quarter.
So when we came back in the middle of the second quarter, the team's style changed and then suddenly accelerated!
The Blazers were caught off guard, with a 10:2 climax.
The Trail Blazers were stunned, 56:40, and the point difference suddenly widened to 16 points.
Anyone who has ever run knows that in long-distance running at a constant speed, you can run a long distance after passing the extreme point. m.
But if your rhythm is disrupted mid-run, or if you have to run at a different speed, you will soon be unable to continue.
Now the Trail Blazers are driven by the Clippers to change speeds, and the pace is unbearable!
McMillan was speechless. What exactly was Smart's plan on the opposite side?
Starting at 8:0, I haven't suspended you yet.
Then he came on as a substitute, and for a quarter and a half, the passing offense turned into a vicious defensive combination to rush for offensive rebounds.
It was difficult for the Blazers players to adapt to this ferocious routine, and as soon as the main players came back, they started passing and cutting again!
Who can bear this? Being led by the nose over and over again.
The Trail Blazers' lineup is inherently patchwork.
Crawford, Felton and others are all new additions.
The players lack tacit understanding and their understanding of the coach's tactics is not deep enough.
The rhythm of the game was messed up and I didn't know how to play at all.
McMillan could only call a timeout and readjust his tactics.
Min Congda no longer wanted to speak during the timeout.
Each of you is capable, so fight as you like.
Steve Kerr looked at Min Congda without speaking, with a dull look on his face.
Asked: "Mr. Smart, do you have anything to say?"
Min Congda said: "What can I say? I think you guys played well."
Min Congda's words sounded like a compliment, but because his tone was wrong, it made everyone feel weird.
Curry, Harden and others looked at each other, thinking, is there still something wrong with our game?
From the beginning to the end, Min Congda's face never looked good.
The first quarter started 8-0, and being able to call a timeout and scold everyone is enough to show how strict Smart is.
Harden began to reflect on himself, "I just made two mistakes. I really need to pay more attention to my passing."
Curry also thought, "Are my shots sloppy? And my defense, damn, I still can't keep up with people."
Cole also felt that Min Congda was acting strangely, so he loudly said to the players:
"Don't think that you can relax with these leads! The opponent just hasn't found the rhythm of the game yet! Our defense is still not good enough. There are many opportunities for the opponent in the interior. It's just that their offense didn't feel good tonight."
What Cole said is actually correct. After the main force came on the scene, the defense was really not as strong as the five substitutes just now.
The movement speed of Gasol and Randolph has always been a flaw.
What's more important is Ricky Davis at the third position. He worked hard and his transformation was successful.
But after all, he is old, has become a monk halfway, and is not a defensive background, so many defensive habits are not good.
As a supplement to Randolph and Gasol, Ricky Davis is gradually not enough.
Therefore, Cole can also understand why Min Congda chose Leonard and Butler.
It is just to make up for the shortcomings of the third position, which is really far-sighted.
Cole talked for a while and said to Min Congda: "Do you want George to play instead?"
George has yet to get a chance to play tonight.
I watched Leonard and Butler, both first-year players, play for a while.
He, a second-year senior, didn't play for a minute, which made him feel a little unhappy.
What about the promised 15-man rotation? Am I not one-fifteenth?
Min Congda nodded as if he was giving up and said, "Let him go."
So George replaced Ricky Davis.
George, who had been holding back for a quarter and a half, finally got a chance to play.
As soon as he came on the court, a big hat was given to Wallace from the inside!
This assisting defense and supplementary defense ability is indeed not comparable to Ricky Davis.
Run faster, jump higher, and have better defensive awareness.
Then in the counterattack, George faked a move from the outside to shake off the defender.
He broke into the basket with the ball and succeeded in a one-arm dunk!
The resentment accumulated on the bench was vented in the dunk!
The entire Clippers bench stood up and cheered George's dunk.
Only Min Congda remained silent and expressionless, which made Cole, Jin Hughes and others dare not say anything.
They had no idea that Coach Smart, who was usually kind and friendly, would be so harsh and picky when it came to coaching games.
Sure enough, great coaches are perfectionists!
At the end of the half, the Clippers led the Trail Blazers by 18 points 62:44.
Some people died, but not completely...
