Chapter 368: I've Worked Hard for You (Part 2)
"Min Congda, don't laugh so happily, it's too abnormal for you to be like this."
"Don't laugh, calm down, you failed in the playoffs, why are you still laughing?"
"If you laugh again, you're going to be exposed!"
At the end of the second game, Min kept reminding himself not to laugh too obviously.
He pursed his lips hard, patted Curry on the bench on the shoulder, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, we're going back to Los Angeles." ”
Curry had a mediocre tonight, scoring 17 points on just 1-of-6 three-point shooting.
The Thunder put on a successful defense of Curry, and Sefrosha followed from start to finish.
Severosa is 2.01 meters tall, but the height of the striker has the ability to move as a defender.
And his arm span is quite exaggerated, and he interferes a lot with Curry's shooting and passing in defense.
Thunder's head coach Brooks can see that the "eye" of the Clippers' lineup is Curry.
Curry plays well, and the Clippers can play at a 120% level of offense.
Curry played poorly, and the Clippers often only played at 80 percent.
This second-grader has just that.
It's like Wade in 2005, when the boss of the Heat was Olney, but Wade was the soul.
The Spurs didn't pay attention to that in the first round, allowing Curry to play too comfortably and paying a heavy price.
In this round, Brooks saw it and didn't let Westbrook defend Curry.
directly let Sephorosa and Gordon bite and affect Curry's play.
Sure enough, Curry played mediocre, and the Clippers' offense collapsed by a third.
Another important point for the Clippers, James Harden, has been contained.
Because Brooks has brought Harden for a year, he knows Harden's style of play and characteristics very well.
Tonight, Harden took three hats on the inside and had a comfortable hot pot.
Two of them were sent by Ibaka, whose amazing bouncing and moving abilities caught Harden off guard.
He could no longer easily get to the basket and dunk as easily as he did against the Spurs.
The two young engines weren't running smoothly, and the Clippers' offense was greatly reduced.
On the bus to the airport, Min Congda sat in his seat, gently rubbing his face with his hands.
Just now, because I was holding back my laughter too hard, the muscles on my face were a little cramped, and I wanted to soothe it.
Everyone was silent along the way, and returned to Los Angeles with a big score of 0:2.
The future of the series is bleak.
The brilliant performances in the first round were all failed in the second round.
Stable is still stable, but those imaginations seem to be stifled by Thunder's talent.
Experience, the Clippers are really inexperienced.
In the face of the crazy home stadium of the Russian City, as well as the situation under adversity, can the rookie and second-year players not be confused?
Until he got on the plane, Min Congda never spoke, did not give encouragement, and did not give guidance.
People must learn a lesson, they talked too much before, and accidentally gave the players encouragement or inspiration.
It was also leaked defensive routines to Dunleavy, which was simply unforgivable.
"By the way, defensive routines, the Thunder team is quite strange, it's already 2011, but their team building ideas are a bit like going back. Meat shield big center, space big forward, a core small forward, a defensive backcourt and all-around point guard. The style of play and routines are similar, it seems that the playoffs are still the world of traditional routines, and the passing cut will also play the old immortal like the Spurs, or be majestic in the regular season. ”
Before, Min Congda fell asleep as soon as he got on the plane.
This time, he couldn't sleep with excitement, tossing and turning in his seat, thinking about the characteristics and differences between the two teams.
The Thunder are indeed retro, because the 2011 season was meant to be a watershed moment, and no one knows which direction the basketball style will go in the future.
The road is originally walked by people, but some roads are taken by everyone, and it becomes a broad road, and some roads become dead roads if you can't go.
The Thunder have chosen to follow the traditional path because a large number of teams have already succeeded on this path.
The Thunder have relatively few pick-and-rolls, and the pick-and-roll routine is very simple, that is, the outside players after the pick-and-roll, and the mid-to-long-range shots after Ibaka cuts outside.
Because Ibaka only has the ability to shoot from a fixed point, and his ability to cut inside the basket is very average.
Perkins, on the other hand, has nothing at all, has poor offensive ability, and can only occasionally eat cakes or rebound in the front court for a second offense.
The Thunder's offense relies heavily on offensive and defensive conversions, with few positional battle routines, basically no low-post offense, and a thin system.
However, the Clippers' offensive and defensive conversion defense was already poor, and the interior was slow and the backcourt was short to make a cameo.
The Thunder seized the pain point of the Clippers, and in the first two games, they played frantically to convert offense and impact the Clippers defense.
"If our Clippers want to keep the Thunder at bay on both ends of the floor, then we have to ...... No, you can't think about it! Don't think about it! Min Congda, don't think about it, when the time comes, you will leak your mouth again! ”
"The Clippers have no cure in the face of the Thunder, there is no strategy to deal with it, they can't beat it, they are swept away, Amitabha Buddha Guanyin Amen christ......"
Min Congda didn't dare to give advice to the Clippers, he was afraid that others would ask him and he would leak his mouth again.
Sure enough, Cole, who was sitting next to Min Congda, saw that Min Congda hadn't slept all the time, and he was still flipping around, and he felt very strange with words in his mouth.
"Hey, Mr. Smart, what's wrong with you? Uncomfortable? ”
"Me? Oh no, no, I'm... Nothing, a little sleepless. ”
"Because you lost, didn't you? You didn't say anything along the way, and I know you're not happy. Every time you lose, you're smiling, hoping to make it easier for everyone, but you can't hold it this time, can you? It's really hard for you. Cole sighed.
Min Congda wanted to laugh again when he heard Cole's words, but he held back.
You guys one by one, Nai Yi Wu, I'm almost going to die laughing.
But the lesson had taught him that it wasn't time to open the champagne yet.
By the time the third game back to Los Angeles was 3-0 by the Thunder, the season was really over.
He will also wake up from his nightmare to end the 2010-2011 season and continue his new plan.
Seeing that Min Congda didn't speak, but his expression was stiff, and his eyes were stunned looking at the ceiling of the plane, Cole asked again:
"Mr. Smart, do you have any suggestions? In the second game, we obviously made adjustments, but... I think we're still playing hard. Is it that Curry and Harden are still too inexperienced, they need to grow. “
Kerr remembers that when he was with the Suns, he would spend a lot of time discussing tactics with the head coach after each playoff game.
He and Gentry communicated repeatedly and gave each other ideas, because people have a limited angle to see things.
Brainstorm ideas for more inspiration.
Of course, Min Congda knew what Cole was thinking, and he didn't want to inspire the coaching staff!
He scratched his head, yawned, and said, "I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep for a while." It's your job to direct tactics, and I can't get involved in it much. ”
"But you always have an idea, right? As you all know, your tactical skills are very high. ”
Seeing Cole holding on, Min Congda had no choice but to say perfunctorily: "Steve, I told you when you first came to the team, everyone has a ball." ”
After repeating this non-connotative purpose of playing, Min Congda rolled over and fell asleep.
In his dream, the Clippers were eliminated 0:4 in the second round, and then the NBA shutdown in the summer, the Clippers' wages exploded, the team became insolvent, had no income, and finally went bankrupt......
