Min Congda, who does not cause trouble, directs from the field and is calm and composed.
In his eyes, this year's Mavericks are really a bit lacking.
On the one hand, poor defense is on the one hand, and on the other hand, Nowitzki's condition has declined after winning the championship.
After all, Nowitzki is already 34 years old, and winning the championship at the age of 33 last year was already at the end of his peak.
As a white insider who does not rely on bounce or explosive power, Nowitzki's style of play itself is relatively long-lived.
Coupled with his hard and self-disciplined training, he has maintained strong competitiveness for so many years and has not fallen off a cliff.
What really declined was his mentality. After all the hardships, especially the decline in the past few years after being hacked in 2007, he finally won the coveted championship and his basketball career was complete. It is difficult to say that he is not satisfied.
Once people are satisfied in the arena, they easily lose their edge.
The Mavericks were so strong in the regular season last season, winning consecutive games against strong teams.
In the playoffs, they went all the way without a series tiebreaker.
Sweeping the defending champion, Gentlemen swept the Cleveland Cavaliers, which shows their strength.
The strength of the Mavericks is based on Nowitzki's sharpness.
He holds up more than half of the Mavericks' offense and is truly the only core.
If Nowitzki hadn't been injured midway through the 2011 regular season, the Mavericks could have won 60 games and competed for first place in the Western Conference.
Nowitzki's long-cherished wish has come true, and Cuban's operation in the new season also shows that he has given up on his status this year.
Nowitzki's basketball skills are outstanding, but most of the anger in his heart has been exhausted.
The Clippers are just the opposite. The whole team is holding their breath and wants to avenge the Western Conference Finals.
After the timeout ended and he returned to the court, Nowitzki held the ball high and beat Randolph one-on-one.
Nowitzki's pace is flexible, not fast but full of rhythm.
Randolph was on tight guard, but still couldn't stop Novis's independent fadeaway shot.
As a result, the ball bounced off the backboard and missed, and Harden grabbed the backboard.
The Clippers quickly counterattacked. Curry caught the ball across half court and shook West away with a reverse pull.
A direct three-point shot from the right side at 45 degrees, hit!
Curry's three-point shots became more and more bold, and he made three-pointers in quick counterattacks.
Staples Center cheered, and the big Hollywood stars on the sidelines applauded Curry.
Nowadays, many celebrities come to the Clippers to watch games.
Min Congda was impressed by what he saw. This kid was really passionate about playing basketball.
Regardless of his position, Min Congda admires Curry's way of playing.
He remembers watching Curry train in the training facility when he first became the Clippers general manager.
He felt that Curry's three-point shot had a unique beauty in sports.
Later, he discovered that Curry's beauty was difficult to experience in other players.
Even Kobe, who is called "picturesque" by fans, has a different style from Curry.
Kobe has Kobe's beauty, and Curry has things worth appreciating about Curry.
If nothing else, the arc after the three-point shot is released is very beautiful.
Tonight, Min Congda didn't want to lose, he just wanted to win. He gave Curry a rare thumbs up.
Curry started the game feeling very good and he was in great shape.
Min Chongda was right to let Curry have ankle surgery last season.
The early surgery allowed his ankle injury to be well treated.
It just so happened that the shutdown was long, giving Curry time to further recover from his injuries.
Although he is only in his third year, Curry is already 23 years old. As an older rookie, he has already begun to enter his peak period.
Wade, also an older rookie, began to dominate the Eastern Conference Finals in his second season, and won the Finals MVP in his third season.
Kevin Durant, who started earning the maximum salary, is in his fifth year in the league. He is actually the same age as Curry, both born in 1988.
Therefore, Curry has great ambitions to display this season, and he hopes to have a true superstar season.
Derrick Rose, the No. 1 pick in 2008, already won the regular season MVP last season.
Curry doesn't expect to win the MVP, but having already entered the Western Conference Finals last season, he undoubtedly wants to go one step further.
After all, the Clippers have a very good lineup structure and a great general manager and head coach.
Seeing Min Congda's thumbs up, Curry felt greatly encouraged.
The Clippers' morale is getting stronger and stronger, and Curry, who has found his touch, is unstoppable.
And Harden is happy to be the wedding dress. When he has the ball, he will try his best to find Curry and give Curry a chance to shoot when he has a chance.
The Mavericks' slow perimeter can't keep up with Curry's pace, and West's thin body is a defensive vulnerability.
The Cavaliers have proven to be very difficult to use. Cuban signed him simply because no one was available, and Carter was injured again.
Curry made 3 of 4 three-pointers in the first quarter and scored 15 points in a single quarter.
Nowitzki should have stood up and confronted Curry.
As a result, the old driver made 1 of 6 in the first quarter and only scored 2 points.
The Clippers led the Mavericks by 8 points in a single quarter 33:25.
The largest point difference between the two sides in the first quarter reached over 12 points.
However, after Jason Terry came off the bench, he used consecutive scoring to help the Mavericks recover some points.
Jets Terry is still the most difficult person to deal with on the Clippers' defense.
Since the 2010 season, the Clippers have had a headache guarding against such a fast and agile guard.
You can ignore him like West, but Terry doesn't have the mid-range level of Kobe.
But if you let him go, he will still throw you into a state of ecstasy.
So Min Congda replaced George in the second quarter.
He didn't want George to defend Terry, but asked him to help defend more.
Let George assist Dragic to repeatedly flank Terry and force him toward the bottom corner and baseline.
A big problem with Terry is that he has limited height and average passing vision.
Once he is double-teamed and pressed, his passing is of little quality.
Some sloppy jump passes even resulted in turnovers.
And George is young, flexible, and can immediately return to the defensive position after being double-teamed.
Min Congda discovered that the fishing guy who said in the interview that he wanted to come to the Clippers "because of the proximity" has actually made great progress this year.
Although his body is still a little thin, he feels very good defensively, and his talent is obviously a level better than Ricky Davis.
Putting aside the colored glasses and watching the Clippers game from an objective standpoint, Min Congda saw many blind spots that he had ignored in the past.
"Damn it, who did I choose in this draft? Why are they all so good!"
"I swear, I will not care about the team draft next season and leave it all to Jeff Ball and Olshey."
Min Congda looked at Jimmy Butler and Leonard sitting on the bench and wondered what their future development would be like.
I hope you don’t develop too well, otherwise I’ll give you a tug!
With this in mind, Min Congda patted Leonard on the shoulder and signaled him to come on stage.
Min Congda decided to play a lineup with one big and four small at the end of the second quarter.
Milicic, Leonard, George, Harden and Curry.
At this time, the Clippers successfully contained the Mavericks' offense. The score reached 42:30, and the Clippers led by 12 points.
Min Congda wanted to see how an offensive system with two defenders as the core would work after removing the black and white inside.
"Stephen, remember to use your imagination. Imagination understand?"
"Give me the best game!"
Min Congda thought that before the clipper sank and he jumped off the ship, he should watch the brilliant fireworks.
The coaches in the future will never be as talented as me!
Some people died, but not completely...
