The game started sharply at 7:30 p.m.

Min Congda sat on the sidelines, feeling that his butt still hurt a little.

The Splatoon is really terrifying, and it is really not enough to think that Jordan can take Tianwang Mountain in Salt Lake City with a high fever.

Min Congda's strong willpower also infected the Clippers players, and when playing the Jazz, the whole team did not relax and gnawed the game.

Min Congda's prestige in the Clippers is still very high and respected.

Before the start of this game, Min Congda rarely took out the tactical board and said: "At the beginning, our focus should be on the backfield. The feel of the outside line must be cast, do you know why? ”

Curry said: "Because in the Western Finals, we were prevented from death by their joint defense. ”

Min Congda nodded and said, "The best way to deal with joint defense is to have a good outside feel, and we have to develop a good shooting feeling in the first quarter." ”

With that, Min Congda drew an elevator door tactic on the tactical board, asking Randolph and Xiaojia to pay attention to creating open opportunities for Curry to shoot at two 45 degrees.

"This is the basic tactic to be executed at the beginning of the positional battle, and of course, it is necessary to set up a back hand, and Harden must be ready to respond on the weak side."

"The second basic set of tactics is to completely empty the free throw line, force the Mavericks' defense up, and empty the three-second zone. But the ultimate goal is not to cut the basket empty, but to two bottom corners. Curry, Harden, Ricky, you all have to have the awareness to fire at any time in the bottom corner. Of course, there's a lot of change on the court, and if they pounce, the inside has to pass the ball when they have the chance. Remember, the opening task is to mobilize their defense, use three-pointers to spread them out, and get more tactical space, get it? ”

Min Congda's opening tactics and strategy are different from many traditional coaches.

Traditional coaches start from the inside, and when the inside is played, they drive the outside.

For example, when Yao Ming was in the Rockets, when he was in good physical fitness at the beginning, he played the most singles in the low post.

Including the Lakers with O'Neal, the Spurs before Duncan's decline, and the three-high Lakers, they will let the inside play more at the beginning.

The inside is open, forcing the opponent to compress the space, and then creating opportunities for the outside.

But as the two seasons began, some teams began to realize the importance of a feel on the outside.

Shooters had better get their hands on from the first quarter.

Use outside projection and repeated pick-and-rolls to pull the opposing defense.

NBA coaches are increasingly using zone defense.

Without excellent outside shooting, playing zone defense can be difficult.

As long as Min Congda doesn't make trouble, his tactical acumen is very strong.

The West Finals played the Mavericks, and the Mavericks' regional defense was really powerful.

So even if the outside of the calf has aged, Kidd has old arms and legs.

But he can still defend against LeBron James, because James can't shoot.

Curry has a wonderful performance in the Western Conference because of his great projection.

But he was inexperienced, and the Clippers' overall strength and desire to fight were not as good as the Mavericks, and they finally lost the series.

At that time, if Min Congda gave serious advice, the Clippers might have a chance to tie seven.

This time, Min Congda started with a layout, and everyone was a little unaccustomed to it.

But with the coach's command, everyone knows how to play in their hearts.

Steve Cole thought to himself that Smart was finally starting to coach in earnest.

Soon the game began, and Gasol Jr. touched the ball first on the jump ball, and the Clippers got the offensive possession.

Carlisle must have thought that the Clippers would start the game in the low post and play inside, so they defended a 2-3 defense.

Didn't this hit Min Congda's arrangement?

Curry passes the ball to Harden and runs around the circle, and Randolph and Gasol Jr. pick up.

An elevator door double cover, Harden feigned a breakthrough, and the ball was distributed to Curry.

Curry catches the ball and makes a three-point shot, hit!

Beautiful three-pointer, the Mavericks who shot were a little caught off guard.

Kidd dribbled past half court, and the two-guard pair he partnered with West made the Mavericks' backcourt a little shorter.

Stevens' role in the Finals is still very large.

The Mavericks' three outside players, Stevens, Kidd, and Marion, can all defend James one-on-one.

This is difficult for the Cavaliers, who only have James as an outside engine.

It is not surprising that the last 1:4 was swept by a gentleman.

The Clippers started the game with a normal one-on-one defense, with Nowitzki coming out to block and pick up.

West received the ball, went inside with the ball, and the Clippers immediately shrank inside.

West hits a mid-range jumper.

This loss of points is acceptable for the Clippers.

In the middle distance after the blocking, you can cast if you like.

You're not Kobe, you can still shoot me.

Curry quickly crossed the half court with the ball, and the Mavericks also wanted to use zone defense.

But the situation was clearly wrong, and all five of the Clippers were above the free-throw line.

Curry split the ball to Harden, and Harden and Gasol Jr. blocked the pick-and-roll.

After a look, Curry was running in the bottom corner, but the Mavericks' interior defense was not in place.

Harden accelerated past Nowitzki and scored an easy layup under the basket!

Players have to be improvised, not all played according to the coach's instructions. 33

Then the Mavericks still blocked and dismantled, and it was still West's mid-range jumper, but this time it didn't go in.

As Min Congda thought, you are not Kobe, can you really kill me?

Gasol Jr. got the rebound in the backcourt, looked at the frontcourt, and had no chance.

The Mavericks stepped back quickly, the ball was given to Curry, and the halfcourt was still cleared below the free throw line.

The Mavericks didn't dare to use zone defense this time, and Curry didn't give Harden any more.

He dribbled continuously, broke through from the wing and smashed into the basket, attracting the Mavericks to the bag.

A beautiful no-man-looking pass to Randolph who was keeping up.

Randolph receives the ball and picks the basket easily.

Haywood's block came close and didn't touch the ball.

If the ball had been replaced by Tyson Chandler, it might have been able to interfere.

Haywood's legs are much slower than Chandler's, and he's no longer a good basket center.

Rick Carlisle looked at the opening Clippers' moves and knew in his heart that he was being crushed.

When preparing for the game, the Clippers didn't play like this in the first five games, they played quickly and scattered.

Why is this fight so regular? And it is not used to pass and cut, but the strategy of blocking and dismantling combined with large space opening.

Curry and Harden's creativity and projection ability have been maximized.

The problem with the Mavericks is that they have average interior and exterior athleticism and need zone defense to compensate.

Last season, everyone tried to bite down, but this season there are two less defensive gates, and everyone is a year older.

Coupled with the fact that the offseason was too long, there was no recovery or preparation phase, and the defensive efficiency can be imagined.

Nowitzki stepped up at this time, singled Randolph with his back in the low post, and made a step-back jumper.

The Mavericks' offense is still quite good, with Kidd and Nowitzki as the base set, and the score will not be low in a game.

But the defensive problem is big, Harden holds the ball, and suddenly a hit to the ground in the middle to Curry under the empty basket.

From the connection between the two guards, Curry shook off Haywood with a beautiful feint, and instead of forcing a layup, he went back to a zero degree angle and hit a mid-range jumper!

hit a 2-pointer and also caused a foul on West, who came to make up for it.

The space on the court is stretched wide open, and Curry can fire from any location.

After the goal, Harden and Curry high-fived, and the two youngsters took control of the situation to a high degree.

The free throws were made, and the Mavericks called a timeout at 10-4.

When the Clippers started the break, Curry took a sip of water and asked Min Congda: "Smart, you're not going to replace me, are you?" ”

Min Congda smiled and thought to himself, I actually want you to retire.

"No, you can fight for a while, and I'll go to your house for dinner tomorrow."

Some people died, but not completely......
