"My shooting point is on the right side of 45 degrees. That's where I like it, with the highest hit rate."
"The bottom corner on the left belongs to me. I will run in that direction more. If I get there, pass the ball to me."
"We need to strengthen the attack on the center. To be honest, their defense in the center is not very good. We have to rush in."
"Go ahead, go ahead, I'll try my best to get offensive rebounds."
"Do you want to rush for the offensive rebound? If you rush for the offensive rebound, it will be too late to retreat."
"The guy wearing No. 2, Leonard, I feel like his retreat is good. I was with him just now, so you don't have to worry about retreating."
"I can't retreat. If the Trail Blazers play fast break, I will foul."
"How many fouls did you commit?"
"Twice, James, I advise you to also foul."
"I can run back!"
Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Clippers led the Trail Blazers by 7 points at 87:80.
The 18-point advantage in the first half was gradually eroded.
Taking advantage of the dead ball, the five Clippers players gathered together to discuss how to play next.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that if the Clippers stick to the starting lineup and don't use substitutes indiscriminately, it will be almost impossible for the Trail Blazers to turn around.
For most coaches, in the first game of the season, rookies like Butler and Leonard will definitely sit on the bench and won't get a single minute of playing time.
A more conservative coach would have Fisher serve as a substitute guard, go on the court to stabilize the morale, feed Randolph the ball, and shoot two three-pointers.
The forwards will rely heavily on Paul George to cultivate this talented rookie and slowly replace Ricky Davis.
Most coaches in the paint will definitely use Okafor, who ranks second and has excellent rim protection in the paint.
And with a salary of more than 10 million, wouldn't it be a pity to let him lie on the inactive list?
In this way, we have three main substitutes, paired with Dragic, and occasionally PJ Tucker.
With the two big men as the core, and Curry and Harden as the engines, this lineup will be very competitive in the league.
The state has been maintained well, and it has been adjusted for three seasons, and it has completely hit the first place in the Western Conference.
With Min Congda's talent, he certainly knew these routines.
He also knows that with such a lineup, he can design at least 15 basic tactical routines.
He will not let the Clippers play passes and cuts. Instead, he will use Curry's running position, Harden's breakthrough, Randolph's low post, and Gasol's pick-and-roll as the tactical basis to create a three-dimensional, high-mobility, internal and external combination. Excellent offensive system.
By the middle of the season, he can trade Leonard, Bonner, Butler and others for a high-quality, mature star third position.
For example, Iguodala of the 76ers, let him be the answer to the team's third position, forming a very good lineup for the championship.
Min Congda is not a fool. After playing in the NBA for two seasons, he still knows how to win the championship.
But he can't do this, he has made so many mistakes before.
How can we build a championship lineup now that we have to personally coach and make up for our mistakes?
Since you won't let me trade the starters Curry, Harden and others, you must give them enough playing time.
Then I will disrupt their game rhythm, let the whole team take turns to play together, play wheel battles, and hold them back.
The team does not have any fixed tactical routines. You can play however you want and however you like.
Even so, the Blazers were still 7 points behind, which really worried Min Congda.
He thought to himself: "Are the Trail Blazers too weak, or are our Clippers too strong?"
"No, I don't think it's that strong. Many details are not done well."
"What are these idiots gathering together to discuss? Want to rebel?"
Min Congda saw the Clippers players sitting in a circle on the court, discussing something there.
The referee blew his whistle several times and the game continued.
The five players on the Clippers court are Harden, Curry, Randolph, Bonner and George.
This is another rarely seen combination, both Randolph and Bonner are too slow.
If Randolph still rushes for offensive rebounds during the offense, the team's retreat will be a big problem.
After Harden broke through, he passed the ball to Curry. Curry attracted the defense and passed the ball to Bonner, who was 45 degrees.
Bonner caught the ball at his favorite three-point spot, but he had no chance to make a shot.
The only option was to dribble it to George, who chose to break through and get to the basket.
George's breakthrough skills are still a bit immature, and he can only go straight.
After getting to the basket, he forced a layup and missed. Randolph rushed for the offensive rebound but failed to grab it.
The Blazers counterattacked quickly, and Crawford antelope crossed the half court.
Curry chose to foul to prevent the Blazers' quick counterattack.
While the players from both sides rushed to the frontcourt, the five Clippers discussed it again.
"Zach, why don't you hit the frontcourt?"
"Actually, I think I can charge, and I will retreat."
"You just made a breakthrough, how can you retreat?"
"How about I play farther out?"
"Let Zach chisel in the post."
"I can only hit it if you open up the perimeter, and I don't feel good today. Shetter, my playing time is estimated to be only 30 minutes."
A solid starter like Randolph is expected to play only 30 minutes after the fourth quarter.
Under Dunleavy last season, he averaged 41 minutes per game and was the main force.
It suddenly dropped to 30 minutes, which is really unaccustomed to me.
Randolph, who originally scored 20 points in each game, only scored 12 points in this game.
There was no room for discussion between the five people, the game continued, and Batum hit a three-pointer from the outside.
The point difference further narrowed to only 4 points.
Curry immediately retaliated, hitting a three-pointer from the top of the arc after a single block with Randolph!
Curry's hands are really tough, and he maintained his offensive feel during his intermittent playing time tonight.
Ade scored another goal against Randolph.
Harden holds the ball and directs the team's offense.
George suddenly reversed and cut to the basket.
Harden passed the ball to George, and George caught the ball and made a layup!
A very beautiful pass-and-cut offense, brought about by Steve Kerr.
The Clippers' offensive space is so wide that it gives these young players a lot of room to play.
Off the court, Leonard and Butler looked at it with enthusiasm, thinking when can we go up?
Min Congda saw that the Clippers had stabilized their position again. He was anxious and wanted to suspend substitutions.
But obviously, the system will not allow the substitutes to come on too frequently and give the main players too little time.
This is so unreasonable. How about the main player playing for five minutes and then all the substitutes playing?
Curry and Harden finally played a continuous game for 8 or 9 minutes in the fourth quarter.
The Blazers were also very tenacious, chasing closely under the leadership of Ade and Crawford.
With 3 minutes left before the end of the game, the Clippers still lead the Trail Blazers by 6 points, 101:95.
The Trail Blazers called a timeout and wanted to make a final counterattack.
Min Congda thought carefully and decided to cooperate with McMillan.
He decided to replace Zach Randolph. The fat guy just scored consecutive points.
"Zach, are you tired? Come on, take a rest and drink some water." m.
"Coach, I'm not tired. I've only played for 30 minutes, how could I be tired?"
"No, you're tired."
Putting Randolph on the bench, Min Congda pointed to a few other people on the bench.
"Harden, Curry, Leonard, Butler, George...you five young people, come on!"
Some people died, but not completely...
