Min Congda knew as soon as he saw the text message that Paul Foster was dealt with.
As expected, the church is still relatively simple, and their negotiations with New York were ruined by a little trick.
Sometimes, you still have to use some villain tricks to deal with these "gentlemen".
Min Congda responded with a message, "OK, I will contact you when I return to Los Angeles."
He then sent another message to Christopher, "Press harder and don't stop!"
How is it possible to remove the knife from the other party's neck before the negotiations actually come to fruition?
Continuing to pay attention to the situation on the playing field, Min Congda frowned again.
The two teams started to fight badly in the second quarter. The Nuggets' smooth offense in the first quarter was disrupted by the Clippers' defensive lineup. 1
George Karl replaced Chandler and Gallinari early, but he didn't take much advantage in front of Leonard and Butler.
The two boys are very active on the defensive end. Leonard stands out as calm, quick to strike, well positioned, and always expressionless.
Butler, on the other hand, is brave and passionate. He seems to have endless energy in his body, working hard to defend, help defend, and support others.
On the offensive end, although they are a little stretched, when it comes to the defensive end, they will become tigers and leopards biting their opponents.
Strong defense boosted morale greatly. After the Clippers narrowed the point difference to 9 points, Tyronn Lue did not make any substitutions.
Instead, continue to let these outstanding players on the court and show the Clippers' tenacity at home in Plateau. 33
Tyronn Lue is quite courageous in this regard. He dares to let the main players sit on the bench for a long time and reflect on them if they don't play well.
The score difference slowly changed from 9 points to 10 points, then to 8 points, then to 6 points, and kept shrinking.
When Okafor jumped up, volleyball leader Andre Miller fell heavily to the ground.
The veteran fell to the ground, clenched his fists and roared, his passionate defense contagious.
Milicic and Leonard came over to pull Okafor up, and the Nuggets still had the ball.
But the Nuggets can no longer find their offensive sense.
Under the Clippers' tough defense, the hurried three-point shot from the outside failed to hit.
Milicic got the backcourt rebound, but the ball still went to Dragic.
After Dragic, a young man, came to the Clippers, he won many playing opportunities with his performance.
He is calm, has a good mind at reading the game, has a good shot, and is also very good at breakthroughs.
It can be said that he is a very versatile defender, and he is perfect as a substitute for Harden and Curry.
Dribbling to the frontcourt, Dragic observed the Nuggets' defense.
Okafor and Milicic took turns to provide pick-and-rolls for Dragic.
The Nuggets know that the Clippers have a broken lineup, and Dragic is the one who holds the ball.
So when he double-teamed, Dragic immediately passed the ball to Butler in the bottom corner.
Butler rushed to the basket with the ball and missed a throw, but Leonard grabbed the offensive rebound and made a tip-in!
The point difference is only 4 points!
The sinkhole dug by the main players of both sides in the first quarter was slowly filled in by the substitutes in the second quarter with their own efforts.
George Karl touched his bald head. He had seen this kind of scene too many times, so he was not panicked, but he still called a timeout to calm down his shock.
Tyronn Lue stood on the sidelines, high-fiving the Clippers bench players as they came off the court, and loudly encouraged them: "Well done, great defense! You did a great job!"
Young coaches like Tyronn Lue are better at positive encouragement and don't hesitate to praise players when they play well.
The older generation, like Carl and Dunleavy, are like old gentlemen looking at students, no matter how they look at them, they don't like them.
If you fight well, you should be scolded. If you don't fight well, you will be scolded, because most of them experienced repressive education when they were young.
But today's young players, born in the 1980s and 1990s in the United States, mostly had good conditions and experienced a happy education since childhood.
Even children who grew up in slums have much better living conditions in all aspects than those in the past.
Therefore, suppressing education is no longer suitable for them, but will cause rebellious psychology.
The most typical one is Milicic, who almost killed himself under Larry Brown's crazy humiliation.
Now he has found his niche in the Clippers and is very happy playing and living.
Although he won't be able to live up to people's expectations for the No. 2 pick in 2003, he can make a difference on the court and he doesn't hate basketball anymore.
More than half of the second quarter has passed, and with more than 4 minutes left, Tyronn Lue let on the main player who had been a sinkhole in the first quarter.
Curry, Harden and others reflected on it on the bench. Not only did they get a spiritual baptism, but they also got a lot of physical rest.
In the last few minutes of the second quarter, the two sides' offense, which had been suppressed for most of the quarter, exploded. Curry and Harden hit consecutive jump shots.
For the Nuggets, Chandler hit a three-pointer from the outside, and Al Harrington, who came on the bench, caught the ball and hit a throw to the basket.
But the main force of the Clippers obviously had a stronger offensive momentum. They chased points and filled the hole before the end of the first half!
The two sides tied at 42:42, ending the first half of the game.
The Clippers only scored 12 points in the first quarter and 30 points in the second quarter.
The Nuggets scored 28 points in the first quarter, but only scored a pitiful 14 points in the second quarter.
The defensive potential of the Clippers' bench players is evident.
Tyronn Luer's substitute player motivation method allowed the Clippers to successfully survive a huge crisis in the first half.
The smile on Min Congda's face gradually disappeared and moved to the Clippers players.
He gradually discovered that this Tyronn Lue seemed to have something.
His thing is not about tactics, but about his mental impact.
Moreover, this humble-looking man has a lot of courage.
In fact, Min Congda should have noticed that for an assistant coach to dare to participate in the head coach interview without preparation because of a phone call, this in itself represents a kind of courage.
When many people hear about this kind of interview opportunity, they probably won’t want to try it. They might lose their original jobs just for this interview, so why bother?
But Tyronn Lue dares. He has the courage to face challenges.
And after taking over the Clippers head coaching job, the team's situation stabilized within a few days.
Min Congda observed that he and Tyronn Lue had a good relationship with everyone, and the players were quite obedient.
Steve Kerr, who previously competed with Tyronn Lue for the head coaching job, actually worked well with Lue's coach.
Several assistant coaches headed by Lao Jin also cooperated with Director Lu obediently and did not give up their picks.
It is said that Olshey and Tyronn Lue are very close.
Also, Harden has often been with Tyronn Lue recently, and they seem to have a good relationship.
So does Randolph.
Gasol too!
Recently, Gasol has begun to spread gossip about Coach Lu.
This makes Min Congda a little worried. Is Tyronn Lue a good coach?
As a result, in the third quarter, the two sides returned to the same starting line.
At the beginning, the Clippers were beaten 10-0 by the Nuggets. During the halftime break, you were assigned everything, but you didn't change it at all, right?
How did you fall into the pit in the first half? Why don't you fall down again and climb up again?
"Forget it, I overestimated him."
Some people died, but not completely...
