Chapter 197: A Little Shot (Fifth Update)
If it weren't for the fact that the Clippers would be eliminated 0:3, plus the Lakers were indeed strong, Min Congda would definitely not want to help Lao Deng change his tactics and lineup.
After all, his heart is still soft, and he can't see the miserable appearance of the coach and the players.
In fact, they each have an annual salary of millions of dollars, and they don't pay wages in the playoffs, so they don't need to sympathize with Harpy when they are eliminated.
However, Min Congda couldn't swallow this breath in his heart, especially when he heard that Staples had rented out the No. 26 venue in advance.
This is too contemptuous of people, that is, it is determined that the Lakers will solve the battle in four games.
Because this is Los Angeles, the territory of the Lakers, the Clippers have no chance of turning around at home.
And then there's the experts of all sorts of afterthoughts, as well as the phones that have been incredibly quiet in recent days.
On the day of the playoffs, there were all kinds of blessings, congratulations, and interviews.
In less than a week, the Clippers were 0:3, and all TM disappeared.
Apart from D'Addario and Beckham, I didn't see anyone come to comfort me.
This man and woman can still be intercourse, one like this, the other like that.
These emotions intertwined, coupled with the impulse of the moment, and Min Congda decided to bring some change to the Clippers.
Of course, he doesn't think that by making these changes, the Clippers will win Game 4.
But at least it's not so ugly to lose, right?
The first three losses were really ugly.
Min Congda gave a few suggestions:
"First, the starters have to be replaced, with Curry playing off the bench, Barand going back to the starting point guard, and Gordon going to start point guard. Gordon's defensive and breakaway ability is what starters need even more. ”
"Second, Ricky is also going back to the bench, the number three...... Just use PJ-Tucker! He doesn't play offensively, but he works hard defensively and can help. We need to defend and be dynamic. ”
"Thirdly, tactically, Balang has to play this point and be more aggressive. Don't be obsessed with Zach Randolph, it's not a good idea to fight hard with the Lakers, so that Zach can save more physical energy for the second half and key moments. ”
"Fourth, Curry and Ricky are on the bench, so the second team must play! Take advantage of the short rotation period, score as many points as you can, and hit as many three-pointers as you can. We're going to have to play our rhythm and we can't keep following the Lakers. ”
"Fifth, in the last minute, I would recommend using a lineup of Curry, Gordon, Randolph, Marc Gasol and Ricky Davis. Blang was wronged, but Barang had to play to open up the game with all his might in the first quarter. ”
"Sixth, our rotation is shortened to seven, Curry, Gordon, Randolph, Gasol, Baran, Ricky, and PJ Tucker. The interior team gave up Camby and replaced the interior with PJ Tucker as a rotation, making the rotation more compact and more aggressive! ”
"Seventh, the last piece of advice, everyone let go of the sense of victory and defeat, just when we have been eliminated, let it go!"
Min Congda made seven suggestions in one breath, which made Dunleavy dumbfounded.
He knew that Min Congda was very talented in basketball, and his sensitivity on the court was even more terrifying.
But he didn't expect that he would think so deeply about the game and be so methodical in his strategy.
Lao Deng didn't think about these ideas, but he didn't try them out of some concerns.
He still follows the previous successful experience and does not dare to give it a go easily.
Now that the general manager has said so, the psychological constraints are naturally gone.
But can these methods really work? Old Deng didn't know.
There are a lot of variables in basketball games, and sometimes the perfect tactical arrangement is not as good as a player's sudden explosion.
All kinds of unexpected situations on the field made a lot of preparations before the game in vain.
However, Min Congda's rigorous and orderly analysis and arrangement still convinced Dunleavy.
He seized the remaining half an hour of training time and summoned everyone over to explain the situation.
In the end, he said: "It's Mr. Smart's arrangement, I hope everyone will give it a go and play this game well." ”
After that, the whole Clippers team disbanded and went home, and everyone had a good rest to prepare for the night's game.
When leaving the training hall, Lao Deng asked Min Congda: "Smart, did you come up with all those tactical adjustment ideas?" ”
Min Congda hesitated for a moment and said, "Uh... Not quite, I saw it online. ”
"What? What did you see online? ”
Lao Deng was shocked, you saw something on the Internet, and you used it for the team?
"It's the NBA-Batman, who, in addition to tweeting, has a blog dedicated to post-game writing. He wrote well after this series, and I took a look at it and took some of his points. ”
"Dead horses are live horse doctors anyway, aren't they, Mike?"
That NBA-Batman Dunleavy knew because of the trade deadline fire.
A video of James being deducted was also posted later, which became a very influential basketball account on Twitter.
For more than two months, this account posted some black material about NBA teams from time to time, especially the Clippers.
For example, this tweet actually said that Mike Dunleavy was using a hair growth potion to save his baldness.
Dunleavy was furious when he learned about this tweet, although he lost his hair, he had never used a hair growth potion!
The account's tweets are simply speechless, and they don't know whether to hack the Clippers or add traffic to the Clippers.
But Dunleavy didn't expect that the blog of this account also had professional post-game comments?
Went to the Staples Center in the afternoon, and before the game began, Dunleavy read the articles.
found that as Min Congda said, the writing is very good, and it is very good from the perspective of an NBA coach.
It's just that there are more theoretical things and less practical things, so he should be a person who often watches football on the sidelines.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Dunleavy rearranged the starting line according to Min Congda's arrangement.
Curry sat on the bench and became a substitute.
He's still frustrated with the arrangement, but the playoffs are different from the regular season.
The offense-oriented regular season allows a player with poor defense to score more points on the court.
The playoffs are extremely targeted, and the defense can't be too bad, otherwise it will hurt the lineup a lot.
If the team has a player who only plays offense and doesn't defend, then they have a good regular season record but a playoff blind record.
On the contrary, if the main team has players who can defend but not attack, then they are likely to have a difficult regular season, but in the playoffs, it is the opponent who is difficult.
Curry is still the first type of player, and his defense and confrontation are barrel shortcomings.
Seeing Curry sitting on the bench a little unhappy, Min Congda handed over the popcorn from behind.
"Hey, eat some."
"Don't eat it, it's too unpalatable."
"Boy, this is not the time to be depressed. There are only two substitutes tonight and you have to be ready at all times. And, you're going to be on the field when it counts, you know? ”
As soon as Min Congda said this, Curry immediately cheered up.
Seeing that Curry cheered up a lot, Min Congda leisurely ate popcorn.
He thought to himself, "Actually, it's still hard to win this game, right?" I just made a slight move, and it's normal to lose. Calm down, $3,000 to buy everyone happy, I can still afford to pay. ”
Recently, Apple's stock has risen to $270, and Min Congda's assets have increased by another 20,000.
He felt that he could afford to win a game and lose $3,000, and he had no regrets.
