On the morning of October 2, 2010, the Clippers' new season training camp officially opened at the YouTube Training Center.

Because the Clippers have signed a sponsorship agreement with the oil network, the team's training uniforms and training centers will be marked with the oil pipe logo.

Min Congda, who is a frequent customer at the training center's restaurant, came early in the morning, and he brought a squid he had just bought in the morning and handed it to the chef of the training center to make squid fried rice at noon.

I really think of the kitchen of the training center as my own restaurant.

But the chef was happy because Min Congda gave them a raise.

After the increase in peripheral income such as jerseys, the league's share settlement has not yet arrived.

Min Congda immediately advanced this income and used it to increase the wages of the employees.

Although it can't be a 20% increase for all employees like when I first arrived, a few hundred dollars per person is enough.

This feeling of rising wages is really good for ordinary employees.

The food, equipment management, and sanitation conditions of the training center are very good.

The players come here with a sense of being at home, especially those who are new to the team.

James Harden, Milicic, Bonner, Jeremy Lin, Bledsoe, Paul George, Hinrich.

There are really a lot of newcomers to the Clippers in the new season, and it is a big trouble for the coaching staff.

Newcomers mean that the team has to develop new tactical routines, and tactical tacit understanding must start to be cultivated again.

Mike Dunleavy was inexplicably scolded three times in the offseason and almost died of a heart attack.

There was not much hair on his head, but now it is the gourd baby saving his grandfather, and there is no return.

An offseason operation like Min Congda, who has been a coach for 20 years, has never encountered it.

The team has just achieved a good record, entered the playoffs, the squad structure is reasonable, and the combination of the old, middle and young generations is very good.

As a result, Camby, a stable and excellent interior veteran, said he didn't want it, and cheapened the Cavaliers.

Signed a parallel trade that has proven to have no potential, and a red mamba that is slow to die.

Gordon, such a good shooting guard in the playoffs, is young and full of potential.

Don't do it, send the Thunder to exchange for Harden, who has unknown potential, and is a beard again.

Smart, do you have a penchant for beards?

Maddy Collins, Novak, a steady defender substitute, plus a No. 3 scorer.

In exchange for Hinrich, it stands to reason that the deal is okay on the surface.

Because Xinrich, as the 03 platinum generation, is powerful.

But his ability isn't what the Clippers need right now.

And his contract is too big, locking up the Clippers' operating space.

The Clippers, who could have gained a lot in the 10-year free market, can be said to have nothing to gain.

It is said that James wanted to come to the Clippers, but was persuaded away by Smart!

Thinking of this, Mike Dunleavy felt a faint pain in his heart again.

This coach really won't be able to stay for long, and if he stays up for another season, he may be by Smart.

At the beginning of last season, seeing the talented Curry, Dunleavy still wanted to return to the Finals.

Don't go back to the finals, it's really not worth it to put your life on the court first.

When Min Congda saw Dunleavy, he came over to say hello, "Old Deng!" I brought you some black sesame seeds, I heard that it can be used to fill your hair, would you like to give it a try? ”

Dunleavy stood on the sidelines with his waist crossed, watching the players warm up, not wanting to deal with Min Congda.

Min Congda leaned over and said with a smile: "Old Deng, if you pretend to be deaf and dumb and ignore me again, I will drive you away immediately." ”

Dunleavy understands Min Congda's style of speaking in the Clippers, and he doesn't want to lose this coaching job.

I had to turn around, with a smirk on my face, and said, "Oh, dear old fellow, it's been a long time since I've seen Smart. Look at it, look at the lineup you put together for me in the offseason, how luxurious, how potential. This season, we're going to take it a step further. ”

Min Congda thought to himself, Lao Deng, you will still be yin and yang, and you will go one step further in this broken lineup?

If you make the playoffs again this season, I'll screw my head off and give you a night pot!

Seeing Dunleavy's indignant look, Min Congda knew that he had done the right thing with his deal.

This lineup has a big flaw, the core problem is defense, and the interior is too slow.

Although Camby didn't have many scenes last season, he was finally knocked out of the starting position by Gasol Jr.

But as the best defensive player ever, Camby's basic defensive skills are there.

Backcourt rebounding protection and basic basket protection, Camby did a great job.

His elongated frame allows him to move and fill in gaps.

In the new season, the Clippers' interior reinforcements Milicic and Bonner are not good defensively.

Bonner aside, Milicic has never shown great rebounding and basket protection.

The average team's expectation of him is that they want his attacking talent to show.

On the defensive end, he averaged six career rebounds per game.

Among them, the backcourt rebounds are even worse, averaging about 3 or 4 per game all year round.

As a substitute centre-forward, this is not qualified enough.

And as a Serbian player, he did not inherit the traditional European talent of big men to pass the ball.

He averaged less than 1 assist per game in his career, and basically had no ability to respond and pass.

The only thing to look forward to is his inside footwork, good touch, and height and reach.

But he's been playing in the league for 7 years, so is it possible to develop his ball-handling offense? Impossible.

Therefore, giving up Camby and choosing to sign Milicic is definitely a bad move at the moment.

Randolph and Gasol Jr. have a defensively flawed flaw of moving slowly.

You're making up for it more slowly, aren't you trying to make trouble?

Then there's the Clippers' deadliest No. 3 position.

Dunleavy had a summer in mind about getting a good No. 3 position.

Let's not talk about James, you can get a Ruhr Deng, or Rasso Butler.

No, the No. 3 position made a soft Paul George in the draft.

This kid doesn't look like he's woken up, do you think you're Maddie?

There is also the No. 2 position, which was previously a round face and a big tonnage and a big butt, and is a defensive potential stock on the outside of the Clippers.

Against Kobe Bryant in the playoffs, Gordon showed plenty of defensive strength.

Cultivate well, and the future will definitely be a defensive gate on the outside.

As a result, the trade went away in exchange for a Harden.

Those with unshaven beards are also lazy and lazy.

If you can walk on the field, you don't run, and you don't look like you've woken up.

Smart's vision is really desperate, looking for this kind of half-asleep rookie.

And Curry, although he is doing very well in the new season, you see him giggling and shaking his head, is this a serious basketball player?

Oh, and that Nick Young! I've been grinning and giggling all day, and I haven't seen him in shape!

When Dunleavy was young, basketball was a tough guy sport, and good coaches had strict requirements for their players' words and deeds.

The Clippers don't look like a team that plays well.

By the way, the most unremarkable thing is the general manager Smart, who is doing some crooked ways all day long.

You always scold me!

It's really crooked, Dunleavy also asked the general manager, "Smart, what kind of tactics are you going to let the Clippers play in the new season?" Is it like the playoffs? ”

Min Congda hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, no, it's not right to play like the playoffs, we still have to take Randolph as the core and start from the inside." ”
