In fact, not only Randolph lived up to Min Congda's hard work, but the entire Clippers did not live up to his hard work.

One by one, they all looked like Min Congda didn't want, but now they are not obvious, and Min Congda's eyes are still blinded.

For example, Paul George, although he occasionally has amazing performances, but in general it is so-so, especially when it comes to the high intensity of the playoffs, and the performance can only be said to be okay.

He's pretty good defensively, making a whopping five blocks in his first two games, so it's no wonder some have likened him to Maddie who just entered the league.

The offense purely relies on the opportunity of the fast attack counterattack, and he can mix up a few points, and he can't even do a stable shooting point in the positional battle.

After George came on the court in the second quarter, he missed two outside shots, giving the Spurs a chance to fight back.

Ginobili, who has been passing the ball and organizing the offense, has a three-pointer and a breakaway layup.

Narrowed the gap to seven points, forcing Dunleavy to call a timeout.

Dunleavy wants to replace George and bring on Ricky Davis.

Min Congda couldn't bear it anymore and shouted from behind the bench: "Let George play a little longer!" Let him go off if he misses two shots? Have faith in young people! ”

Dunleavy glanced at Min Congda helplessly and said, "Mr. Smart, please don't affect the command of the coaching staff during the game." ”

Min Congda was already embarrassed, and said: "I will influence you, let George stay on the field, and give him more opportunities." I don't think Ricky will mind. ”

Ricky Davis certainly doesn't mind, he's in a very good frame of mind right now and he's happy with his positioning as a 3D role player.

He even wondered what he had been thinking about in the past ten years, and how could he always think of others to assist him?

It turns out that assisting others, playing a supporting role on the court, defending well, and shooting three points well is very fragrant.

Occasionally, you can rely on your own independent offensive ability to be a surprise soldier, so don't be too happy.

Such a role player, if you win, you will be wiped out, and if you lose, there is no pot, and the pot is the core player's.

As long as you calm down and love basketball, you can really mix on the court for a long time.

Ricky Davis was enlightened and said to Dunleavy, "I don't mind. ”

And can Dunleavy not mind? A dignified head coach was instructed by the general manager not to change during the game.

Although he was also instructed by Min Congda last season, it was always like this, and Lao Deng was uncomfortable after all.

Over time, this dissatisfaction has accumulated more and more, but there is nothing that can be done.

Who makes Smart always right and always make the right decisions?

At this very moment, this timeout, Dunleavy had already made up his mind.

After the end of this season, he will not renew his contract with the Clippers and will not be the head coach of the Clippers.

But whether he wants to stay with the Clippers yet, Dunleavy has not yet decided.

It's really a little reluctant to ask him to leave, this group of young people is really talented.

Even if he doesn't be the head coach, he can lead them to the finals as an assistant coach, and even win the championship, which is his dream.

After thinking a lot for a while, Lao Deng still obeyed Min Congda's command and let Paul George continue to stay on the court.

George cheered himself up, and he knew it was Mr. Smart who valued him.

The game went on, with Harden passing to Randolph in the low post, and Randolph turned and missed a layup.

George rushed to the basket to grab the rebound in the frontcourt, passed the ball out to Harden, and Harden received the ball and dribbled and adjusted it to shoot a mid-range jumper!

The situation stabilized again, and the game turned into a commander showdown between Ginobili and Harden.

Neither of them was obsessed with forcing singles, but held the ball in their hands to organize the whole team to attack.

Ginobili was not in a hurry, and he was experienced in carefully looking for holes in the Clippers' defense.

Although the Clippers' defense is good, it can only be said to be second-rate in the league, because it is limited by the characteristics of the players and defensive ability, and can only reach this level.

The slowness of the interior and the lack of ability to move are the biggest problems for the Clippers.

Of the four interior lines, Jr. Ga, Milicic, Bonner and Randolph, none of them are mobile and cover a wide area defensively.

The Clippers were afraid of blocking and dismantling before, and after following Min Congda's advice and setting up a whole set of defensive systems, they were much better.

The blocking and dismantling defense system that can be "retreated" as the core has a core problem, that is, it is very afraid of the opponent's outside feeling explosion.

After many transfers and repeated blocks, it is easy to have an open shooting opportunity on the wing and at 45 degrees.

The problem for the Spurs right now is that their outside shooting feels just too bad, and they don't have a top-notch shooter to punish the Clippers' shrinking defense.

Ginobili knew that a good shot needed a steady pace, and he slowed down the offense with the ball.

Pass to Parker, Parker block, break, pass, catch, block, break again, split again.

The ball was back in Ginobili's hands, and Ginobili broke through the middle and found a corner for Jefferson.

Jefferson catches the ball, a good open shot, and a three-point shot!

For a life-saving three-point shot, the Spurs have to use repeated pick-and-roll break-through shots to mobilize the Clippers defense.

Finally, a valuable shot was made in the bottom corner, and George's defensive positioning had some problems.

In order to make up for Ginobili, he let Jefferson go empty.

Seeing George's mistake on the defensive end, Dunleavy stood up and yelled on the sidelines.

Min Congda snickered, thinking to himself, George has lived up to me.

Then, Harden missed a layup on a breakaway basket, and the Spurs had another chance to counterattack.

Ginobili is still careful and not in a hurry, he is calm and composed, and he is an excellent hunter.

High block, breakaway, Milicic and Randolph inside.

Stepping back, suddenly a non-looking through pass to the basket.

Gary Neal catches the ball and makes a layup!

Manu's imagination came to the fore in this pass.

Both Milicic and Randolph's attention was focused on Ginobili.

Completely ignoring the opponents who could cut behind them, their sinking became meaningless.

The score was close again, and Popovich was undoubtedly right to give Manu the second quarter.

In Min Congda's heart, Ginobili is going to be a grandfather like São Paulo.

At the end of the second quarter, the Spurs gradually stabilized their ground, and Paul George played almost the entire quarter.

His inexperience on the defensive end gave the Spurs a chance.

The score has come to 50:45, and the Spurs are only five points behind the Clippers.

Curry, Baron Davis and Jr. are back on the court.

Ginobili came off the field to rest for a while, and his injury was not yet healed.

At this time, the Clippers used a large and four small lineup on the court.

Jr. Ga, Barang, Curry, Harden, George.

Min Congda panicked when he saw this lineup, Cole, uh, Lao Deng is going to be a moth again?

The Clippers quickly served a backcourt ball, Harden held the ball across the halfcourt, and Curry lunged to attract the defense.

George suddenly inserted in the middle, Harden made a long pass to George, George dribbled in the middle and took a step, and then dunked it with one hand!

The ball can't be dunked by Ricky Davis, but George can.

Then, Duncan hit Gasol Jr. with his back in the low post, turned to hook his left hand, and did not go in.

Hit the front of the basket, obviously less power.

Barang Davis rebounded in the backcourt and made another long pass to the frontcourt.

It was George again, leading the way, and a spinning top passed Jefferson.

Split the buckle again with one hand! The ball also resulted in a defensive foul on Jefferson.

George roared after the goal, as long as he stayed on the pitch, he could contribute to the team after all.

With a free throw, the Clippers instantly stretched the margin back to 10 points.

It feels like Spurs are trying to close the score a little closer.

The Clippers made a little effort, and the Spurs couldn't withstand it......

What is this the first in the West?

In the cheers of the audience, Min Congda left the stage early again and went to the bathroom to have diarrhea.

In his heart, he had secretly made up his mind.
