Chapter 346: Lessons Learned (Part 1)

Min Congda washed his face in the bathroom and calmed his mood.

Just now he really felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, not because he had eaten a bad stomach, nor because there was a problem with his stomach.

It's tension and stress that cause some gastrointestinal disorders, and to put it bluntly, it's caused by bad moods.

"It's okay, it's okay, the first half hasn't been played yet, why are you so ignorant? I've watched the game for more than a year, and it's not advisable to have a goal, a quarter, a half, or even a game! ”

"Believe in the Spurs, believe in Popovich, believe in Duncan as a superstar!"

Min Congda cheered up the Spurs and cheered himself up at the same time.

At the same time, he comforted himself: "What if this one wins? Even if we win this series, what can we do? It's just a matter of winning, let them win, the sky can't fall, and there will always be a time to settle accounts after the fall. ”

In the past year or so, Min Congda's fastest growth is not basketball knowledge, but the level of self-comfort.

People sometimes just need to deceive themselves, otherwise how to face this bloody reality and the dwindling balance in the bank card.

"Damn, the most heart-wrenching thing is Lao Tzu's money! Win a game and deduct 3000! Woo, is it easy for Lao Tzu to earn some money, the working class is tired and tired... Eh, I don't seem to be very tired, I haven't slept late every day lately and don't go to work, and I still play around at night and go fishing, which is much better than the working class. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, these are small amounts of money compared to the $360 million that will be won in the future, and they are not worth mentioning!"

"Cheer up, there's still the second half, believe in the Spurs, believe in the superstars!"

At this point, if the Spurs' players and coaching staff had half the confidence of Min Congda, they would not have trailed by as many as 15 points in the first half.

In the middle of the second quarter, the Spurs were only about 10 points behind, and near the end of the second quarter, the Clippers suddenly launched another 7-0 offensive attack wave.

Harden, George, and Curry brought the pace of the game fast.

Curry hit his fourth three-pointer of the first half from the outside.

And Harden assisted on George's dunk twice in a row.

The score of the two teams in the first half was fixed at 64:49, a full 15-point difference!

No one would have thought that in the first round of the West, the first hit was eighth, and the eighth half was 15 points ahead of the first?

Is this in San Antonio? Is this a team with 60 wins?

Although the Spurs have two big men sitting on the bench, Ginobili and Miller.

But it wasn't so much behind at half-time, and I was beaten so much that I didn't have the power to fight back.

With a calm heart, Min Congda came out of the toilet and returned to the audience.

Look up at the score,! I felt dizzy and my heart started to hurt again.

He sat down in the audience and asked Ada, "Ada, why is it leading by 15 points for so long?" ”

Ida said: "Curry scored a three-pointer, George had two dunks, and the Spurs didn't score, just... That's a 15-point lead. ”

Min Congda thought to himself, has the Spurs' offense been weak to such a point?

What about Duncan? This is not the time for superstars to play.

Hard chisel on the inside line and open up the situation!

However, Duncan scored a total of six points in the first half.

And none of these 6 points were hard chiseled in the low post.

It's all about eating cakes or grabbing rebounds in the front court and then making a basket.

When he's holding the ball in the low post, the Clippers are Gasol Jr. one-on-one.

Not to mention the bag clip, there is no treatment for the two winding.

Even, Gasol Jr. still has time to help defend others.

If it's Duncan in his prime, you have to be so guarded.

If you don't out in the half, you can only say that you are clean.

But this year's Duncan is really not good, and a knee injury has caused his average points to drop to 13 points per game in the regular season.

It was Duncan's lowest scoring average in the regular season since his rookie season.

A knee injury has dragged him down, and the Spurs haven't designed Duncan's new tactical routine.

Basically, he was used as a high-level blue-collar worker, which was actually a big waste for Duncan.

Even if he declines, his experience and ability are still there, and he must think about how to use him better.

It can only be said that in the past, the Spurs and Popovich were too comfortable sucking blood on Duncan.

Once Duncan's abilities slipped from a top superstar to an average star, it was unknown what to do with him.

Rewrote the manual for three seasons, and still didn't get it written.

"Duncan isn't quite good, but there's still Ginobili, isn't there? Ginobili rested this time, and when Ginobili came back in the next game, the Clippers would definitely not be able to hold on. ”

"Also, at halftime, Spurs will adjust well. I... Forget it, I'd better not go back to the locker room, I can't give the Clippers an idea. ”

Min Congda was afraid that he couldn't help but give the team ideas.

As for giving Spurs ideas? He had an idea.

But to be honest, not much.

When Min Congda can't think of any magic timing in his brain, it means that the chance is really not big.

The only better strategy he can think of is to play more blocks and dismantles in the second half and play Duncan's role as much as possible.

Duncan's cover is top-notch among NBA superstars, with very solid blocks and clean moves.

Able to cut inside, strong finishing ability under the basket, and strong ability to rebound twice.

Duncan Parker's pick-and-roll combination was once a big killer in the Spurs' offense.

Even in the high-intensity playoffs, it's a lethal weapon.

This lethal weapon, the Spurs are bound to take out in the second half to fight.

Min Congda guessed accurately, and the Spurs adjusted their offensive strategy in the second half.

Parker, George Hill add pick-and-roll to Duncan.

Simple and efficient blocking and dismantling as the initiation of positional attacks.

George Hill opened the second half with two free throws.

It's a good thing for the Spurs, scoring and killing Gasol Jr. at the same time.

Gasol Jr. has grown very quickly this season and is already the core of the team's interior defense.

This foul at the beginning of the second half brought his foul count to three, which was a bit dangerous.

George Hill made both free throws.

"Okay, yes, starting with the pick-and-roll, it's off to a good start. But the key behind is defense, you have to defend well...... That's right, it's right to have Hill go to Curry and Parker to go to Baron Davis. ”

A tweak on the defensive end of the Spurs, with Hill defending Curry and Parker defending Barang.

In the first half, Curry made 4 of 6 three-pointers and almost missed Popovich's high blood pressure.

Curry, who scored 16 points in the half, made the Spurs feel scared, so in the second half, Hill, who had a better defense, kept an eye on Curry.

Gasol Jr. responded with the ball in the high post, and when the Spurs' defensive alignment changed, Baron Davis sank into the low post.

Gasol plugged it straight to Barang, and Baron Davis pouted, turned and pushed Parker away, and hit the basket with his right hand!

"Shet! Baron Davis still has this hand! Min Congda was angry.

The bearded man arrived in the playoffs, the eighth to play first, he has experience, he has experience!
