Chapter 213: A United Team (Fifth Update)
The rebellion in Min Congda's mouth was naturally a betrayal of himself.
In order to no longer give ideas to the Clippers' offensive and defensive tactics, in addition to not watching the Clippers much recently, he has not participated much in the training of the Clippers.
I'm afraid that if I accidentally say something, I will give the Clippers some good advice, let Kerr and Lao Deng toss it casually.
But after watching the first quarter, the Clippers' defensive details are getting better and better, and there are some special things on the offensive end that have attracted Min Congda's attention.
"Is this the pass-and-cut offensive system that Kerr created? I don't feel like I play cards according to the routine. Although the 1-4 position starts, the back hand is different, not simply cutting the basket in the backcourt, but setting up a second receiving point in the two waist positions, generally Baron Davis, if he comes off the bench later, it is estimated that it will be Harden? Randolph also has this ability. ”
"Take the one-to-one local advantage of the waist position as the pivot point, and then turn on the reverse run and air cut, which... How does this feel a bit like a triangle attack? What has Cole been practicing for a month? ”
Min Congda saw the shadow of the Clippers' offense and the triangle offense, respectively.
And in terms of cover strategy, the Clippers are not limited to Gasol Jr. and Randolph.
Both George and Davis can be involved in the cover, doing the work of covering and responding to others anytime and anywhere.
While Ricky Davis and George didn't do it very well, Rickey also had two pass errors in the first quarter.
But because of this awareness, the Clippers' offensive passing is quite fluid, as smooth as using Caesare.
"It's... What kind of sect is this? But it seems to be a passing cut. It doesn't matter, although the fight is very smooth, this kind of attack will definitely not be able to fight a tough battle! ”
Min Congda watched a section and said that the Clippers couldn't fight a tough battle.
But looking at the score, the Clippers led the Bucks by 14 points at 29:15 in the first quarter.
If the Clippers are to win, it will probably be a big win.
In fact, in the previous games, the Clippers had several games in which they were ahead of the curve.
As a result, in the fourth quarter, the opponent reversed, because the team's tactics were still not skilled enough.
At the same time, in order to pursue the fluency of coordination, excessive passing led to an increase in mistakes, which was also a major reason for being overturned.
In the game against the Mavericks, the Clippers once led the opponent by 15 points, and finally were reversed by the Dallas.
This shows that the Clippers' offensive and defensive tactical ceiling is very high, what is lacking is running-in, what is lacking is tacit understanding, what is lacking is the growth of players' personal ability, and the most important thing is Curry.
Curry came on the court in the second quarter, and he deliberately touched his right ankle before going on the court to breathe a sigh of relief.
When he stepped onto the playing field, the crowd erupted in loud cheers.
In the front row of the Stamp Center tonight, you can see a lot of Hollywood stars, all to see Curry's comeback.
As a sophomore rookie, his popularity can be imagined, and it also proves how much the title of champion is bonus.
Curry's rookie season was outstanding, but not phenomenal, and if he played in Milwaukee and wasn't a top pick, he wouldn't have been treated like that when he returned.
After more than two months of rest, Curry's physical condition is very good, but he is a little nervous, and he misses the outside three-point shot after receiving the ball for the first time.
Then on defense, Curry put up tough against his opponent, and it was clear that he was a little stronger than he was before the injury.
During this time, he did not relax his fitness training at all, and still got up every morning to start upper body strength exercises.
It's a habit that has persisted since last season's rookie camp to this day, rain or shine, injury free.
Curry soon had his first goal as he circled around Milicic on the outside and cut inside.
Harden, who was standing in the left corner position, hit the ground and stuffed the basket, and Curry received the ball and made an easy layup.
Min Congda's heart trembled when he saw this ball, for fear that Curry would sprain his ankle again.
While Curry's injury is in his favor, he doesn't want to see his friends suffering from injuries.
Min Congda was very conflicted in his heart, he thought to himself: "Why don't you find an excuse to send Curry to the Development League?" Let him go to the development league to play a few games and find his form? The province is drilling around on the field, and I am upset to see it! ”
In general, the development league is to drop the fringe players who don't have the ball to play, so that they can stay in shape.
The main players who have returned from injury are sometimes sent to the development league to practice and recover.
Min Congda pondered letting Curry go to the development league to dominate, you are good, go and rule the development league, don't come to trouble me and make trouble for me.
In just five minutes of playing time, Curry showed quite good athletic form.
He ran tirelessly, to the basket, to the bottom corner, and made a mess of the Bucks' defense.
In addition to a layup in the air, Curry also received an assist from Harden in the bottom right corner and hit a three-point shot!
This kid feels great.
Steve Kerr, who was sitting on the bench, was thrilled to see Curry's performance in five minutes.
"yes, yes, that's the most important piece of the puzzle in my system, Curry, Stephen Curry!"
Kerr has repeatedly adjusted the Clippers' pass-and-cut offensive system in recent times, and he has not been dogmatic and must have players play according to a certain routine.
He first kept instilling the concept of passing and running in the players, and then led the players to practice some classic tactical routines.
On the basis of the classic routine, set up some defensive scenarios and let the players discuss and imagine solutions for themselves.
For example, how to get the ball out of the arc top bag? What happens next if the air cut fails? What if the reverse run of the bottom line is perfectly rotated by the opponent?
The players participated in it and figured out their own solutions, just like the teacher was talking about difficult problems in class, and the methods of solving problems taught by the teacher were not as impressive as they figured out.
The young players of the Clippers are all players with high ball intelligence, such as Harden and Gasol Jr., who often have three or four solutions to play tactics at the beginning of the season.
Now, under Cole's guidance, the number has increased to five or six, and in any case, it can handle all kinds of situations.
Of course, if Min Congda is asked to solve it, he can solve seven or eight kinds of solutions, and maybe he can creatively come up with some new solutions.
After a short period of training and running-in, the Clippers' offense is very significant, but the Clippers have one less off-ball master in the backcourt, which makes the tactics a little lame.
And Curry is undoubtedly that most powerful leg.
After playing for five minutes in the second quarter, the point was pinched, and Lao Deng didn't dare to let Curry stay longer for a minute.
In five minutes, Curry scored five points, handed out two assists, and made one steal, which was quite good.
The Clippers led the Bucks by 14 points at halftime 67:53, and were excellent both offensively and defensively.
Danger signals kept ringing in Min Congda's head.
By the second half of the third quarter, the sirens were at their highest.
In one defense, Curry off the bench defended around the screen.
Bogut, who was made of the wall, slapped an elbow on the eyebrow bone, and blood was punched.
The team doctor quickly dealt with Curry's injury, because he had an ankle injury, and in order to prevent further brutal treatment, Lao Deng directly let Curry go back to the locker room.
In response, Milicic, who also came off the bench, blocked and caught the ball in the attack, and dunked Bogutong violently, and at the same time "inadvertently" hit Bogut on the nose during the dunk, knocking the bridge of his nose crooked.
Bogut, who had a long nosebleed, had to be treated on the field.
Milicic received a technical foul but won the cheers of the crowd.
He won the affirmation of the audience with a tough response.
The morale of the Clippers as a team reached a peak.
"Such a team with a smooth offense, smart defense, and unity to the outside world is a strong team at first glance!"
"But how could things have come to this again!"
