When Steve Kerr first took over the Clippers' offense, he also thought about making Curry play a little more "regular".

In his original vision, Curry should be a role like the Bulls Michael Jordan.

That's right, Kerr's setting for Curry is Michael Jordan, which can be called a ceiling-level requirement.

Although Jordan is praised for his unparalleled singles skills, so much so that some people say that "the triangle offense is Jordan's singles".

But this is clearly a misunderstanding of Jordan and the Triangle Offense.

Jordan's singles is indeed at the historical ceiling level, and during the three-time championship Bulls period, Jordan contributed a lot of extremely wonderful singles offense, influenced a generation of players with his skills, and single-handedly opened the era of "the highest singles income" in the 21st century.

But Jordan is actually an out-and-out team player, except for the early criticism that he was too independent, Jordan has always been a perfect team player when he has matured.

His off-the-ball running, air cuts, moving the ball, space pulling, tactical awareness are all outstanding.

In regular times when the intensity of the game is not so high, Jordan's "presence" on the court is actually very low.

It's not that he doesn't score, it's that he doesn't touch the ball much, and a lot of the ball is run to find opportunities, and then he shoots to score when he catches the ball.

If you don't deliberately stare at Jordan, maybe after three quarters of the game, the audience will think why Jordan didn't play much?

But looking at the statistics, Jordan has scored 25 points, or even 30 points.

Only in high-intensity playoffs, or critical times, will Jordan's "spotlight play" moments appear.

The outside line holds the ball for a long time, counts the seconds to attack, and has a heads-up with the opponent's outside defenders, playing two or even three.

Jordan's qualities left a deep impression on Kerr, and he has since had the standard of a perfect player in his heart.

Curry seems to be completely different from Jordan and is a player with a completely different style, but Kerr thinks Curry can develop in the direction of Jordan.

His excellent off-ball movement and tactical acuity, as well as his superb shooting ability, make him an excellent team player in the regular season.

When it comes to the critical moment of the game, the high-intensity stage, Curry can also solve the problem with one-on-one singles.

Of course, Curry's ability to eat one-on-one now is far worse than Jordan's, but it can be cultivated.

But when Curry came back and played a few games, Kerr found that Curry was a very different player.

He does have a strong team mentality, he knows the ball off, he knows tactics and especially his running ability is top-notch.

Running ability is not only about whether you can run, but also whether you can run.

Basketball is a sport that requires non-stop running, running to get chances, and running to keep up with defense.

Curry's ability to run is underrated, and his fitness gauge is much stronger than the average player.

Defenders are sometimes not fooled by Curry's skills, but by Curry's physical fitness.

Curry, who has such excellent team qualities, makes some very bizarre choices from time to time in the game.

For example, when you are on the move, you suddenly make a three-point shot, such as when you should pass a lateral ball, suddenly a back pass to another person, or if you like to throw three points directly on a fast break, or you can get entangled with the defender in the bottom corner, and you have to open up the space to throw a three-pointer.

These unreasonable choices will not appear in Jordan.

Jordan seems to have a lot of strong hits, hard hits, and unbridled shots.

But he rarely has the kind of ball that doesn't matter if it goes in or not, and makes people feel like "why did he play like this" afterwards.

Because Jordan's mentor in college was Pope Dean Smith of Chapal Hill, he would be scolded to death if he played like that.

His unreasonableness is often a reasonable helpless move, and if he doesn't fight like this, no one can fight.

Curry's experience in college was different, he played three years at Davidson College, and it was a real fish belly.

His coach is not Dean Smith, and he is not pressed by James Worthy in front of him, and he has absolute freedom.

With this absolute freedom, Curry has developed some irrational ways of playing.

At the beginning, Kerr, like Dunleavy, hoped that Curry could change his style, play his teamwork, and rein in too much personality.

As a result, Mike Dunleavy said, "You don't want him to change, it's not possible." Mr. Smart wants him to be free and grow wildly. Don't bother with this, he's a top show. ”

Kerr thinks it's too irresponsible for the team, is Curry used to treating him like Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, or James?

It's not necessarily a good thing to be too used to the players, these talents could have achieved more, but why not as good as Jordan? It's just a little bit worse.

But after playing for a while, Kerr gradually discovered that Curry's willfulness and unreasonableness were not unacceptable.

The reason is very simple, his unreasonableness, and in terms of comprehensive effect, it is actually reasonable, because he can enter!

On the basketball court, there are three unfilial pieties, and if you don't enter, as long as you can enter, it's not a problem.

It's luck to score once in a while, but if you can always get in, it means that the choice is reasonable.

When Kerr gave up on the idea of transforming Curry, watching Curry's imaginative style of play on the court, he admired Min Congda in his heart many times and admired his foresight.

Cole is a very self-conscious and ambitious man.

There aren't many management personnel in the league that he can look at.

Popovich counts one, Jerry West counts one, and Angie counts half.

Only Min Congda, Cole felt that he couldn't see through him, he really couldn't see through him.

In addition to the cultivation of Curry, the Clippers are different in every other way.

Whenever Cole thinks, "How can you do this?", he gets slapped in the face after a while, "It makes sense to do this, and it makes sense in the long run..."

Especially in some of the Clippers' work in the management, none of the Clippers employees did not give a thumbs up to Min Congda, and the sweeping aunt said yes.

Cole, who has been the general manager of the Suns for three years, is ashamed of himself, there is really a gap, so let's be an assistant coach with peace of mind.

The game continues.

Four offenses began in the first quarter, and the Clippers were four of four and had already scored 10 points.

The Grizzlies relied on Griffin to hit 2 shots and only scored 4 points, and the difference in offensive efficiency was immediately apparent.

Wallace looked at the opening Grizzlies' situation and was very restless.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with the Grizzlies' offense, and they all have a 50% success rate.

The key is defense, and it can't prevent the Clippers' offense at all.

Their defence is obviously solid, and Wallace is confident.

But in front of the clippers, it was like butter, and the hot knife pierced it.

Seeing Wallace's anxious look, Min Congda said: "You have to improve the defensive ability of the No. 3 position." The most important thing in the No. 3 position is the ability to move, height, rebounds or anything is not very important, remember, mobility, and one-on-one single defense ability, don't look at height. ”

"Put Tony Allen in the number three position, believe me, it will work well, let him resolutely change the defense."

"And you have a big problem with blocking and dismantling, let's focus on retreating, don't let Little Jordan and Griffin delay endlessly, it's meaningless, it's a waste of physical strength."

Min Congda gave some advice, and Wallace hurriedly took out a small notebook and recorded it.

After remembering Wallace, he suddenly said, "Smart, why are you telling me this?" ”

Min Congda smiled and said, "Because we are friends, of course friends have to help each other." ”
