The Lakers' performance in the third quarter gave Min Congda a deeper understanding of the basketball game.

Phil Jackson reached this level of sublimation, and it took the first 40 years of his life to experience basketball and life.

And so far this season, Min Congda has watched more than 50 games on the spot with video.

After comprehending this realm, the situation of the court is not so isolated in Min Congda's eyes, but more fluid.

Players are no longer just individual players, but part of a whole.

On the pitch, there are two groups fighting each other, one wearing a white jersey and the other wearing a purple jersey.

Each group is five people, around a ball and two baskets, competing for fluid space on the court.

Once you look at the game from this holistic perspective, the game is no longer rigid and the tactics are no longer routine.

Everything is changing rapidly, and each person's choice will have an impact on the whole, which in turn will affect the trend of the game.

This feeling made Min Congda feel amazing, and he thought that he already had a deep understanding of basketball.

Now it seems that there is more to learn: "emmm...... Basketball is still a bit of a sight to behold, and it's worth digging into. ”

This appreciation and exploration of the basketball game itself made Min Congda temporarily forget the stakes of victory or defeat on the court.

Curry rested off the court after the start of the fourth quarter, and he didn't play well in the third quarter.

With no more points scored except for that open cut layup, the Clippers' offensive focus returned to the interior.

It was so easy to play in the first half, why didn't it work in the second half all of a sudden?

Is your form not good, or is the opponent's defense too strong?

In fact, smart players know best in their own hearts.

The professional players are generally in good shape.

Unless you encounter some accidents or physical decline, you are too tired to fight continuously.

Generally very stable.

Curry had such a good shooting feeling in the first half, so there was no such thing as being in bad shape.

It's that the Lakers' intensity has increased, and they are more targeted and tougher defensively.

Curry couldn't play the way he played in the first half and needed to change.

But Curry is not the tactical core of the team, but only a part of the overall strategy.

You've played a role in the first half, and since the second half didn't work, you can rest.

There are other tactical aspects of the team that work, you see, thanks to Randolph and Gasol Jr., slowly catching up.

But Curry is still very unwilling in his heart, and the performance of driving high and going low will make people have a strong sense of frustration.

The Lakers still controlled the game after the start of the fourth quarter, holding the Clippers to a tight end.

They are masters of positional attack, with three points that can play with their backs and two points that can be played at any time.

There is also Odom, an all-rounder, who can burst, shoot, rush rebounds, and eat with his back.

This is a universal glue that always jumps out to help the team when tactics fail.

The game of the NBA is the accumulation of one ball and the polishing of details.

The reason why the Lakers can beat other teams to win the championship is because of the attention to detail.

Many games are won or lost by a few points, a shot, a three-pointer, a free throw, can determine the victory of a game.

Why such a victory, in the end, most likely is the Lakers, because of more perfect details.

(And the occasional help from the referee at key moments.) ）

They are in full swing, and they have done the ultimate in offense and defense, and the Clippers are overwhelmed.

The difference was opened again, and at 84:95, the Lakers led by 11 points in the middle of the fourth quarter!

The Lakers didn't make any major changes to the roster and didn't use targeted tactics.

Not even a defensive trap against Randolph or Gordon.

relied on the state of the players and the intensity of the game to force the Clippers.

It crushed the Clippers' offensive arrogance and feeling.

Dunleavy could only call another timeout, giving the impression that the Clippers were on the wrong side.

In the first half, a shock swept the Lakers away and maintained the lead.

In the second half, the champion team made a force, but the Clippers still couldn't hold on.

The hard power of the Lakers is there, and they don't need to use any strategy.

Being yourself is the best strategy for the Lakers.

At a time when the vast majority thought the Clippers were hopeless.

Not every Clippers has given up on struggling efforts.

At the end of the fourth quarter, there were more than six minutes left before the end of the game.

At this time, Mike Dunleavy, who has always been conservative, once again offered a three-guard scoring combination.

It was with this combination that the Clippers broke the Lakers in the opener.

Of course, that Lakers game was incomplete without Pau Gasol.

Dunleavy is doing it again now, can it still work?

"With three defenders, will this trick still work......

Min Congda looked at the three guards and knew that Lao Deng was going to start fighting for his life.

But the three-guard defense is a hole, and the Lakers front line is so tough.

The Lakers lost in the opening game, because Big Gasol was not there, and Odom's top inside line was too much consumption.

Now that Gasol is back, Odom and Artest, where can the Clippers withstand this hand-to-hand combat ability.

As soon as the three guards came on, Gordon hit a three-pointer from the outside.

But on the defensive end, the Lakers grabbed two frontcourt rebounds in a row.

Odom hit a layup and drew a foul on Camby.

Camby has already committed five fouls tonight and he's really old.

Dunleavy was reintroduced to Gasol Jr. for Camby.

Odomga hit a free throw, and the three-pointer he just made was in vain.

"This old Deng doesn't know how to be flexible at all, although he has tried a lot of new lineups and tactics, but he doesn't change the medicine like this!"

Looking at the back three or Davis's main control, Min Congda knew that it was unreliable.

A heavy defender like Barang Davis will struggle to play to the edge against a two-tower lineup.

"Letting Curry take control and let Barang assist the offense is the best choice......

Seeing Davis breaking through the basket and being blocked by Gasol, Min Congda couldn't stand it.

Although he wants the Lakers to win, he has another thought in his heart: he wants to know how many pounds and taels Curry has in this kid.

Min Congda has admitted that he failed in the blind selection at the draft.

Curry has a lot of potential, and if he doesn't deal with it properly, his plans may be ruined!

But how much potential does Curry really have, and can he be the same as Kobe? Or at the level of Barang Davis.

Min Congda didn't know, he could understand the current situation, but he couldn't understand the future.

He wanted to find out how deep the water in Curry was.

So, he asked Ida to give him the notebook, took a pen and wrote a sentence on it, tore it off, handed it to Ada, and said, "Give the note to Dunleavy, say that I wrote it, and do it according to it." ”

Ida obediently handed the note to Dunleavy, who was directing from the sidelines, saying that it was given by Mr. Smart.

Dunleavy opened the note, and it was written with a very simple sentence: Let Curry hold the ball.
