Chapter 428: The Rising Combination (Part 2)

When the Clippers use their normal rotation, it's not so easy for the Mavericks to erase the 18-point difference.

This year's calf is no longer last year's.

The reason why the Mavericks were able to repeatedly fight back last season was not only super high offensive efficiency, but also relied on their solid defense.

Once the defense collapses, there is no way to chase points.

You can't prevent it, how can you make a big reversal?

Although Curry is a three-point shot, the offensive shock wave of 12 points in the second quarter is actually only one three-pointer.

Most of the points were scored by going inside and facing the Mavericks center against Haywood.

If the Mavericks were still Chandler inside, Curry wouldn't have been able to score in such a row.

Heywood was more than one step behind Chandler in the basket.

At the end of the first half, the Clippers led the Mavericks by 16 points at 66:50.

In the second half of the second quarter, the Clippers clearly relented.

Min Congda changed the lineup, using Randolph and Gazo Jr., with Fisher, Ricky Davis and Paul George.

Ricky returns to his familiar No. 2 position, a standard two-inside traditional lineup.

Completely based on the tactical axis of the two males, Fisher's triangle attack has made good use of the experience of feeding the ball to the inside.

George's dynamism, Ricky Davis' ability to attack with the ball, is a perfect match for the duo.

In other words, the Clippers can deploy two completely different sets of playstyles that are playoff competitive at the same time.

If you combine it again, you can make a third lineup.

"Who is this team paired with? Why do you feel a little powerful? ”

At halftime, Min Congda recalled the situation in the first half in his mind, and his heart was depressed.

The players did not yet know that tonight would be Min Congda's last game in charge.

Everyone is in great shape, the chemistry, the rotation, they are all in perfect shape.

Everyone thought in their hearts, it turned out that this was Mr. Smart's real strength.

The first few games to tease us were a military parade to test everyone's state.

Today is the real thing.

Min Congda summed up the situation in the first half and laid out the tactical requirements for the second half.

"The 16-point lead isn't huge, we didn't defend well enough. The second half was all about defending, not attacking. Insist on wrapping up Nowitzki, let him split the ball, and let Kidd, Marion, and Terry shoot three-pointers. Give them three points, and I bet they can't take it. ”

"Once the Mavericks can't hit enough three-pointers, we must take advantage of the long rebound opportunity to launch a counterattack and use quick counterattacks to further bring down the Mavericks. This year's pace is noticeably slower than last year's, dragging them to death. While we have an advantage on the inside, speed is what we're good at, and Curry is going to be the engine of the team. Randolph should be active, Mark, and learn more from your brother. ”

Steve Cole, Kim Hughes and others listened to Min Congda's tactical set-up.

They can feel the confidence of Min Congda, and this confidence will greatly infect the players.

Strategies like putting a calf in three points are very risky.

The Mavericks are chasing points, and once the three points are opened, the Clippers are in danger.

In the semifinals last season, the Lakers were killed by a three-point shot from the Mavericks in the second half.

Phil Jackson's favorite strategy is this strategy of leading by three points.

Use a solid three-second zone defense to force opponents to shoot a lot of threes, reduce offensive success rate, and disrupt the rhythm.

You can also use long rebounds to counterattack to widen the difference, and finally break the opponent's mentality.

In the playoffs, the Zen master tried this trick repeatedly.

And it's all based on a theory: shooting can't win a championship, a basic common sense that the league has held for the past two decades.

But that common sense was shattered last season, and it was the Dallas Mavericks who broke it.

Min Congda didn't believe in evil, and he had to play the strategy of shrinking the defense and putting three points to counterattack.

After the set-up, Kerr asked Min Congda: "Smart, isn't it a bit risky to start the second half like this?" ”

Min Congda said: "Of course it's big, so I'm gambling, seeking wealth and danger." I have a 16-point book, so why not? ”

Cole had nothing to say, tonight's Min Congda was really completely different from before.

Resolute and decisive is a must-have for a successful coach.

Learn, study hard.

After the start of the third quarter, the situation was as Min Congda expected, and the Mavericks' three-point shooting was not open.

Nowitzki, Kidd, and Terry missed three points repeatedly.

And the Clippers are fighting for long rebounds as a team, and once they get the rebounds, they will fight back.

Harden, who had been slowly playing auxiliary passes in the first half, became a black whirlwind in the third quarter.

With his European step and strong upper body strength, he repeatedly counterattacked.

The shooting guard played as a forward, and there was Curry behind him.

Once the Mavericks shrink the basket in an attempt to stop Harden, Harden will distribute the ball to Curry, who is receiving on the wing.

Curry's three-point shot tonight was completely out of the box.

The champion of '09 and Tanhua worked together to hit the Mavericks with a 15-5 attack wave in the first half of the third quarter.

The 16-point deficit turned into 26 points, and the defending champions were completely broken.

Harden scored seven straight points and Curry made 2-of-3 three-pointers, and the two combined to score 13 of 15 points.

Carlisle called a timeout again, Curry and Harden high-fived, and the two returned to the bench together.

In an offseason, Harden has grown a lot bigger than last season.

If the second-year Harden is still a little green, the third-year Harden is really a bearded man.

With two arms as muscular as a Greek sculpture, Min Congda wondered if this kid had used some kind of technology in the summer.

Min Congda still remembers the first time he noticed Harden was the game between the Clippers and the Thunder, and Harden didn't score a single game.

The lifelong enemy who made Min Congda angry, second only to the old fish Fisher, got his heart and mind into the array.

This kid has a lazy personality and loves to go to nightclubs, so he is worth being corrupted.

How do you know that his mother in Los Angeles is out of the horse, and she has been corrected.

Even Min Congda quit the expedition.

Now it's okay, Li Ghost has become Li Kui, and there is really no one to stop him from killing the basket.

The Clippers, who strictly implement Min Congda's tactical strategy, crushed the defending champion Mavericks.

Curry in the first half and Harden in the second half, respectively, dominated the team's offense in the first and second halves.

Both are very selfless and humble players, and just look at their arms, and they don't have the exaggerated tattoos of the average black player.

They're both good kids among black players, and the future of their duo is undoubtedly bright.

In just three quarters, Curry and Harden lost the suspense of the game, and the difference once stretched to 30 points.

The Staples Center erupted in cheers and cheers.

The fourth quarter was completely turned into garbage time, and in the end, the Clippers defeated the Dallas Mavericks by 23 points 121-98 at home.

avenged last season's defeat in the West.

Curry scored a team-high 30 points today, which was incredibly efficient and set off a brilliant fireworks.

Harden had 19 points, 11 assists and 8 rebounds, a quasi-triple-double, and was exceptionally comprehensive.

The Clippers crushed their opponents from start to finish and didn't give the Mavericks a chance.

At the end of the match, Carlisle shook hands with Min Congda and said, "Good job, look forward to meeting next time." ”

Min Congda smiled, thinking that there would be no next time, this coach Lao Tzu is gone!

"It turns out that this is the team I built~ It seems that I am defeated, really defeated."

Looking at the smiles of the players after the game, Min Congda felt extremely sorry in his heart.

I have worked hard to create such a strong team!

The effort is in vain, trapped, completely trapped.

Even if Min Congda can't see people's potential accurately, what Harden and Curry are showing now, blind people can feel the light.

If he thinks that these two people have no future, he is really deceiving himself.

Now his hopes are pinned on the new coach.

The so-called soldier bears a nest of bears.

If the head coach is not at the right level, blindly commands, and will not coordinate the relationship between the players in the middle, causing conflicts among the players, then no matter how good the lineup is, it will be in vain.

Min Congda, who has been the head coach for more than a month, has an understanding of this, and the players are to blame for listening to Min Congda too much.

But with such a large-scale rotation as a change of coach, the players are likely to rebel, and then the situation will be out of control.

"Alright, I'll take you to win another game today. My Yan Song is coming later! Take me to the end of the clipper! Never give up! ”

Min Congda cheered himself up inside, but who is the next head coach of the Los Angeles Clippers?

Min Congda didn't have a definite answer in his mind.

And Harden-Curry, the rising super backcourt combination, would never have thought that the biggest enemy and obstacle in their careers was their beloved Mr. Smart.

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