Chapter Ninety-Eight: Three More Shots (Second Shift)

At the FedEx Arena, the home stadium in Memphis, Min Congda sat with Wallace again.

Min Congda yawned and thought to himself, "This Wallace is really annoying, he has to come over every time, does this person want to take advantage of me?" Forget it, take advantage of it, you've already taken a griffin, and I'll take advantage of you in the future, and take advantage of the Clippers. ”

Wallace looked at Min Congda yawning and looking sleepy, and asked, "Smart, didn't you sleep well last night?" ”

Min Congda said: "Yes, it was already early in the morning when I flew from New Orleans to Memphis, and there was a problem with the opening procedures of the hotel, and I couldn't check in." Tossed until half past three to get to the room, do you think you can sleep well? ”

"The NBA's schedule is also too dense, and away games have to be back-to-back. With 24 hours between the two games, the players have to hurry, rest, and prepare for the game. ”

Wallace listened to Min Congda's complaints, and thought to himself that this guy is really a novice, professional sports are like this, you have a salary of millions or millions, don't you have to do something that others can't do, and suffer something that ordinary people can't endure.

Min Congda continued: "In the NBA, players are easily injured, and once they are injured, the team's performance will decline, and the audience's desire to watch the game will also decrease. I called Stern last time and scolded him so that he could pay more attention to this aspect in the future. Look at it, you see, this attendance is ......"

Min Congda saw the sparse attendance rate of the FedEx Arena, and he was really envious.

The FedEx Arena has a total of 18,300 seats, and tonight's attendance is only 10,453 people, and the attendance rate is not even 60 percent.

But Wallace's mood was completely different, he instantly felt that his own pattern was low, it turned out that Smart was not thinking about one team, but the entire league, and the ratings of the whole NBA!

He can even communicate with Stern and put forward his opinions, who would dare to change to another general manager?

In yesterday's game, he was still scolding the referee on the sidelines, which made Wallace feel very enjoyable, Wallace had long wanted to scold those referees who stole the scene, but he didn't dare to do anything because of his identity and the league's fines.

This Smart is a real warrior, who dared to rush to the court to fight Griffin in the summer league, and now he dares to scold the referee.

Don't take Stern into account, the world of geniuses is really different from mortals.

Wallace sighed, saw the thriving Clippers, and then looked at the grizzly bears still struggling in the mud.

After Griffin's reimbursement, the Grizzlies' situation was naturally worse.

In fact, their lineup on paper is okay, and the inside line Gasol Jr. has promising potential, but there is a gap compared to his brother.

Small forward Rudy Gay is also a well-known talent, and guard OJ Mayo is nationally known and is considered the next superstar.

Point guard Mike Conley is improving year by year and is a point guard seedling worth cultivating.

If you can add rookie Griffin, it will be a very promising youth army.

The age of the main starting five is less than 25 years old, and if you hone it for two or three seasons, it must be a promising future.

However, Griffin's injury reimbursement disrupted the plan, and now Griffin is sitting on the sidelines in a suit and can only watch his teammates fight on the field.

The downside for a rookie is that he can't build a rapport with a player quickly.

A team with a large number of young people must be respected by strength, and will not be ranked by seniority, and will not let you be the boss just because you are in a high rank.

The boss is played, not ranked, you have to play better than everyone in training and games.

Now, you sit on the bench and you can't play if you can't play.

Teammates are grinding, fighting, improving, you are an outsider.

When you come back from injury and want to find your place, it will definitely be more difficult than now.

Maybe someone will be unconvinced and challenge you, and you will experience more doubts because of your injury.

Griffin's path is destined to be more difficult, and it will be more difficult for him.

After the start of the game, the two sides played evenly because the players on the Clippers side were really too tired.

The back-to-back away games are the biggest test of fitness, so Dunleavy expanded his rotation.

Let Novaka, PJ Tucker, Ricky Davis, Jordan Jr. and other players play.

Increase their playing time to give the main team more time to rest.

And the substitution plays a lot, and the consequence is that there are many chaotic battles, and the two sides fight that is called a mess.

In the first quarter, they can still attack each other on the inside line, and they start to run in the second half, you throw one, I throw one.

Curry came on the court at the end of the first quarter, and he played well in the chaos and tried to organize the team's offense.

It's just that his organization is still a little immature, there are a lot of mistakes, a lot of mistakes, the Grizzlies catch counterattacks, and then they also make mistakes......

"My mom, what kind of game is this, no wonder there is no audience willing to watch it, and I don't want to watch it. This TM is too ugly to play, and there is no discipline at all? Mistakes, mistakes, nothing good to work with. There is no level of offense, there is no level of defense, Curry, you still pass back, you can pass. ”

Min Congda rarely went to the Clippers game without prejudice.

He was happy with a fine of 20,000 yuan, and it didn't matter if he won or lost a game.

The Clippers trailed the Grizzlies by two points at 52-54 in the first half.

The two teams fully demonstrated what it means to peck at each other, and the audience watched it as boring.

At halftime, Min Congda ran to the Clippers' locker room to talk to the players.

As soon as he entered the locker room, Dunleavy was talking to the players about tactics, and Min Congda watched Dunleavy still emphasize the team's defense on the tactics board.

He knew that this old man would not focus on the point, the focus was not on defense at all, and even the focus was not on offense, but on the rhythm of the game.

Neither side had the tempo of the game and both sides were playing around, but the Grizzlies had home-court advantage and had a physical advantage.

If the Clippers play with the Grizzlies, the result will be that they will be worn to death by the Grizzlies' physical fitness and home whistle.

In the last game against the Hornets, the Clippers unfortunately lost, but in fact, they lost at this point.

I couldn't catch up in one breath, and I was killed by the superstar and the whistle.

Min Congda didn't want to break it, why did he worry about that guy as a manager.

When Curry saw Min Congda, he leaned over and asked quietly, "Mr. Smart, I didn't play well in the first half, do you have any suggestions?" ”

Since Curry asked so, Min Congda couldn't refuse, thought about it, and said: "You can just shoot more three points, you see, two points behind, a three-pointer, isn't it overtaking?" ”
