Min Congda's sense of smell in the arena has always been very keen.

In the past, he could often sense the change in the situation on the field through one or two balls.

For example, when he sees one of Curry's offensive choices in the game, he can sense the resurgence of Curry's form and the stance he will continue to attack next.

After seeing Baron Davis start the game with his back to Durin, the sirens in the nerves of the brain went off again.

Because Baron Davis, since coming to the Clippers, has rarely used his signature back to force up, but more on the top of the arc to attack the basket.

Affected by the injury, Davis's physical fitness was much worse than before, and in order to be able to relieve the pressure on his knees, Davis chose to lose weight.

For players who are good at back-to-back players, once the weight is reduced, the power of back-to-back strong hits decreases very significantly.

The first requirement for a strong back is to be able to rely on the defender, and if your center of gravity is easily disturbed by the opponent, it will be difficult to hit the back.

Therefore, once a back-to-back master loses weight and can't rely on defenders, half of his back-to-back ability will be wasted.

Coupled with the team's tactical choices, the low efficiency of back-to-back play, and so on, the option of eating alone on the back may disappear from his arsenal.

That's the case with Baron Davis, who was in his prime when he was with the Warriors, with a lot of weight and strength, and few point guards can match him.

In addition, the Warriors take a completely small-ball route, one big and four small, and that big is a defensive interior line that has no independent offensive ability at all.

Therefore, the Warriors have plenty of space on the inside for Baron Davis to use his back to the opposition in the low post as a tactical axis to drive the team's offense.

In addition to the reason for the decline in the Clippers, the Clippers have two heroes on the inside, and the low post is occupied by Randolph.

Baron Davis' main offensive tools are breakouts, mid-range at the top of the arc and some fixed-point three-pointers.

The low post is just an occasional trick that is no longer the Clippers' primary offensive tactic.

As a result, as soon as the game came up, Barang Davis forced to eat Durin in the low post.

In the eyes of fans, a mediocre low-post tactical launch has attracted the attention of Min Congda.

He realized that the Clippers must have undergone some changes on the offensive end that he didn't know about.

It's the Bucks' turn to attack.

In the absence of Jennings of the Bucks, the burden of offensive initiation fell on the shoulders of Corey Margetty.

Bogut has lost his power in the low post and has become a pure cake eater and defensive gate.

The Bucks' offense relied on a tactical strategy of getting around the cover and breaking through inside.

Their No. 4 Ilyasova has a good mid-to-long-range jumper.

However, this ability is largely limited to mid-range jumpers, and his three-point shot has yet to be developed.

In addition to Ilyasova, there is also Delfino, who is also tall and good at long-range shots, and is good at running and shooting.

But at the beginning of the game, the Bucks ran a few laps, didn't get a chance, and were defended by the Clippers.

Two block-and-rolls were fruitless, and in the end the ball could only be given to Corey Margeti, who let Magetti eat George alone to score the first point.

The Clippers' second offense was still a high-low post combination, with Baron Davis receiving the ball in the low post and giving it to Randolph who cut to the basket.

Randolph received the ball and opened up Ilyasova and made an easy left-handed layup.

"? Randolph cut the basket in the air? What kind of routine is this? I've never seen that. ”

Min Congda was taken aback again, he hadn't watched the game well for half a month, has the Clippers changed so much on the offensive end?

It's not scientific, it's not scientific at all, it must be a coincidence, it's just a coincidence.

"You can't make a conclusion just because of one or two attacks, don't panic, don't panic, it's just two simple attacks. A weak chicken team like the Bucks, with Jennings here, can you still watch it, but without Jennings, can you still watch this offense? The defense is even more invisible..."

Min Congda was thinking about it, with the cooperation of the Bucks' high blocking, Durin was sandwiched by double Davis.

Durin couldn't get the ball out, Paul George made a steal, dribbled directly and quickly counterattacked, and a dashing man passed the chasing Delfino.

Run to the basket with the ball, jump into the air, and slide and dunk with one hand!

"Beautiful!" Min Congda couldn't help but applaud this ball.

Young people are young people after all, this dunk, this gliding distance.

Seeing that you are usually sleepy-eyed, why are you so active in dunking?

Applause is applause, and the fewer beautiful goals like this, the better.

The Staples Center was full of cheers, and not long after the opening ceremony, the scene was already full.

Min Congda turned his head to look and found that the attendance was very good tonight.

So he asked Ada, "Ada, what's the attendance tonight?" ”

"It's full tonight."

"What? Why is it full? Tickets are discounted? Isn't it possible to reduce the price? ”

"No... The last few shows have been full, and bulk tickets are selling well. ”

Min Congda was shocked again, are the Los Angeles fans hungry?

The Clippers vs. Bucks are all full, and there is no other entertainment on the night?

"Because today is Curry's comeback battle, there are a lot of fans who buy tickets."

As soon as Ida said this, Min Congda suddenly realized that it was still Curry's little thing.

Fortunately, in this game, Min Congda set a 10-minute limit for Curry.

And in these 10 minutes, many fans have to come to the scene to watch him come back.

It's enough to see how popular Curry is in Los Angeles.

What an impression it made on the fans last season.

Of course, limited to the Los Angeles area, this comeback did not get the opportunity to be broadcast live in the United States.

After George made a steal and dunk, the Clippers followed up with another 24-second offensive violation from the Bucks in defense.

Min Congda watched the Clippers' use of this defensive strategy, especially the anti-blocking and covering, and the details were quite good.

Focusing on retreat, Gasol Jr. and Randolph will defend the basket as soon as possible and do not give the Bucks players a chance to cut in.

At the same time, the defenders followed up well, and Paul George and Ricky Davis did a good job of hiding Barang Davis, who was slowing down his legs.

For example, if Durin wants to play with Ilyasova to block and dismantle, Paul George will take the initiative to post it, even if it is a little Delfino, to help defend Durin.

If the ball is passed to Delfino, the young George will not hesitate to move sideways and regain Delfino's close defense.

The outside line of the Clippers is mainly close-fitting, and you can rush if you want to, anyway, the two big men in me are not out of position.

In addition to settling, occasionally get a bag clip.

Randolph, who had not been very good in defense before, would even be weakly delayed.

Every time the opponent blocks and dismantles the screen, he will habitually reach out and grab the opponent's ball carrier.

This may seem like a simple catch, but it can effectively slow down the opponent and allow teammates to occupy a more advantageous defensive position.

These small defensive habits may seem inconspicuous, but they form the basis of a team's good defense.

Halfway through the first quarter, the Clippers beat the Bucks to a 14-2 deficit and stopped the Bucks.

Compared with the Clippers' slightly abnormal offense, Min Congda is more emotional about the Clippers' current defense.

"Our team's defense is good, who did these defensive strategies?"

"Mr. Smart, that's it."

"Ahh yes, it's me, it's the article I wrote... Damn, why did I rebel again. ”

Min Congda muttered softly, sighing heavily in his heart.
