The Clippers' record in December quickly proved that Min Congda's idea was very forward-thinking and pre-emptive!

Min Congda, who had just been proud and happy for a month, began to fall into gloom again.

On December 3, the Clippers played the Nuggets away, and this time Zach Randolph broke out, scoring 30 points and blowing up the Nuggets inside.

Nene made a comeback, but he couldn't stop Randolph from riding through the three-second zone.

Moreover, the Clippers' defense has become more solid, and the Nuggets' scoring has been kept below 100 points throughout the game.

At 104:99, the Clippers defeated the Nuggets to win two in a row and make their first winning streak of the season.

The Nuggets' record and form are actually very good, and they are also ranked among the top in the West.

But a collapse trend, from the inside out, is gradually spreading from within the Nuggets.

On December 5, Portland Moda Center, Clippers vs Trail Blazers, the two teams met again after more than a month.

The Trail Blazers lost the opening game due to a miscalculation, and McMillan and his team have been thinking about revenge.

Who knows that the Trail Blazers are still the Trail Blazers, and the Clippers are no longer the Clippers at the beginning of the season.

Without Stephen Curry, the Clippers have gradually adapted to a style of play with one less three-point battery on the perimeter.

In a rather ugly game, the Clippers once again used defense to strangle the Trail Blazers on the road 97:90.

Since Dunleavy started the team's defensive reset, the Clippers' defensive system has become more and more stable.

The system, which focuses on retreat and is supplemented by a variety of opportunistic defensive strategies, has played a very good role.

Coupled with the positive defensive attitude of the Clippers players, and the individual defensive ability is not bad.

They have risen in the league rankings for defensive efficiency values, moving from the lower middle to the average.

In back-to-back games on December 6, the Clippers easily defeated the Fish Belly Kings.

What is puzzling is that Tyrek Evans, who was still 20+5+5 last season and is known as the point guard James Jr.

His form has plummeted this season as the Kings have moved Evans out of his comfortable point guard post to a point guard or even small forward position that is not at all suitable for him.

Scoring guards playing small forwards, small forwards playing shooting guards, power forwards playing centers, point guards playing shooting guards, etc., are all acceptable.

But let a point guard play small forward? And it's not the 6-foot-9 super-tall point guard of Magic Johnson, and the heads of the Kings management and coaching staff really don't know what to think.

Min Congda felt that it was already a very outrageous operation for him to let Lao Deng often get a three-guard, a two-point guard, Ricky to go to the No. 3 position, and a two-white and slow center on the inside.

I didn't expect the king to be even more outrageous, just look at their starting lineup in this game, it's really outrageous that my mother opened the door outrageously, and it was outrageous to go home.

The Kings' starting point guard for this game is Mo Williams, and shooting guard Evans, who occasionally plays at the small forward position.

Why? Because the Kings' frontcourt is these three: Cousins, Jason Thompson, Greeney.

These three people have a common characteristic, that is, they are all very tall, all of them are 6 feet 11 inches, 2 meters 11 meters.

What's the situation?,Other people's twin towers are already a very high lineup.,You just come to the three towers?

You salute the Three Towers cigarettes.

In a situation where the whole league is gradually getting smaller, even the Spurs have abandoned the traditional interior combination to let Duncan play center.

The king's idea of building a team with big men is simply going against the version.

Because not only do they put three 6-foot-11 interior linemen on the court, but they also have a 6-foot-11 center on the bench, Daim Porter!

They spend all their limited space on big insiders, as if they are still stuck in the early 21st century when the big shark O'Neill was rampant.

In those days, anyone who was taller and more physically fit could get a good contract.

In order to fight against inside giants like O'Neal, Duncan, and Yao Ming, even if you can't prevent it, it's not bad to send it to foul and be cannon fodder.

But O'Neill's time has long passed, and with it the best years of inside muscle stick eating.

The top picks in '08, '09, and '10 were all point guards.

The champion centers in '05 and '07 were all abolished, and no traditional interior line could get up.

The king also hoarded the inside line, which was simply the reverse version.

They obviously picked Evans, a very good point guard seedling, the best rookie.

It's not good to cherish it, and you have to continue to accumulate point guards, get Xiao Mo, get Yudri.

In the crucial No. 3 position, there is only one aging Garcia, and no one is available.

Min Congda saw such a team building idea and starting lineup to praise him: "Why didn't I think of it!" ”

In fact, if it weren't for the system limitations, Min Congda's thinking would be similar to that of the king.

The same hoarded inside, one Bonner and one Milicic.

The same is hoarding guards, a Harden, a Bledsoe, and a Hinrich.

There's already Curry, and there's a little guard.

There is room for 20 million not to take off James, pure crime.

But the difference with the Clippers is that their starting lineup is reasonably stable.

Also, Evans' sudden deterioration this season has been linked to his injury.

He started the season with plantar fasciitis.

Curry was also plagued by injuries, but Min Congda "decisively" let him recuperate from surgery.

Not only did the king not have such a mind and courage, but he also asked Evans to consume the bigger No. 3 position.

Is this the attitude and method of developing rookies?

The Kings' three-tower starters lasted only half a quarter before being crushed by the Clippers.

Min Congda couldn't stand it at all, and scolded the Kings management and coaching staff for being stupid.

At 100:91, the Clippers didn't make much effort and killed the King.

After beating the Kings, the Clippers ushered in a wave of long-lost 4 consecutive wins in December!

The winning streak not only allowed the Clippers to rise in the West, but also stabilized the Clippers' attendance.

What makes Min Congda even more anxious is that after playing the King, the next game will be against the Lakers!

Nima's Los Angeles derby, when the time comes, is a competition on the sidelines, and ticket prices are rising.

The million-dollar box office achievement has been achieved again, and the cash flow is about to be abundant again.

Fortunately, Min Congda was mentally prepared, and after realizing that a traitor in the team had leaked defensive tactics, Min Congda was setting out to prepare a set of wrong, reverse offensive routines for the Clippers!

Min Congda now has the experience of swinging, and is no longer as impatient as in the first season, specializing in short-sighted, headache and foot pain.

Rather, it is to take a long-term view and gradually destroy the Clippers from the ground up!

However, this new set of tactics made Min Congda scratch his head, and kept watching game videos and reading materials at home.

He also asked Ada to borrow a lot of related books from the Los Angeles library for him.

After the match against the king, Min Congda was inspired by the king.

"By the way, didn't the King have some Princeton tactic before? It doesn't seem to fit the current version, maybe I can use it to change it and put it on our clippers! ”

So, Min Congda called Ida again and asked her to get information related to the king and Princeton to send him information.

For the first time since the college entrance examination, Min Congda put on a pile of papers and books in order to order a set of ill-fitting clothes for the Clippers.
