Min Congda wrote three pieces of advice on the note to Tyronn Lue:

1. Slow pace and shrink the line of defense.

2. Attack the inside line and play with a success rate.

3. The box-1 defense is aimed at Curry.

Tyronn Lue coaches Min Congda is a rare tactical wizard in the league, and he knows the Clippers so well, so the advice he gives is certainly fine.

So he used up that precious timeout to give his players a re-arrangement of their tactical play.

Harden, Randolph and others were panting and sweating.

Tyronn Lue used up his substitutions at this point, replacing Fisher with Dragic.

Fisher has been playing long enough that it doesn't matter if he's replaced at this point.

The accumulation system is different from the length of play, and the accumulation of 50 points is a huge drain on physical energy.

Especially when you hit the back, the greater the physical exertion, the lower the scoring efficiency, the longer the delay, and then the greater the consumption.

It's like a long-distance run, the total length is the same, if you rush fast at the beginning, you may not be able to run later.

Kerr wanted to solve the problem quickly, and the team played at a fast pace from the start, scoring back-to-back points, and the Tyronn Lue team struggled to catch up behind.

But now that the score is more than halfway through, the players have been on the field for more time than a normal quarter.

With only two substitutions, Curry and Gasol Jr. will definitely not be able to play.

Kerr replaced Bonner with PJ Tucker and used a smaller lineup, hoping to further tackle Tyronn Lue with offense.

And Tyronn Lue, with Min Congda's guidance, asked the players to execute the strategy during the timeout:

"Everyone has a lot of physical exertion, so we slow down the pace and play with a success rate! Focus on the inside, reduce the shooting of three-point shots, and make sure that every offense is successful. Defensively, we shrink, let the opponent shoot threes, give them a chance. Dragic, your task is to keep an eye on Curry, and the others defend an area, and give them the bottom edge to shoot! Remember the three points, slow down, hold the inside, attack the inside, and keep an eye on Curry! ”

Taryn Lu said a lot of things, but in fact, it was the three pieces of advice given by Min Congda, and there was no more.

Min Congda listened on the sidelines, still satisfied, he didn't have anything at all, and his will to implement the leadership was very clear!

Well, quite good.

With Min Congda as the behind-the-scenes trader in the back, the situation of the game has changed.

The biggest problem for the Kerr team is the physical exertion, and the score is more difficult to score than the first 30 points.

As soon as Tyronn Lue came up, Harden drove the basket with the ball, causing a foul on Gasol Jr. and standing on the free throw line.

Lucas's whistle seemed to be "impartial", but he gave Tyronn Lue a lot of free throws.

At 30:26, Tyronn Lue trailed by 4 points.

Then, Tyronn Lue's defense made a lot of changes.

Dragic, who had just debuted, was full of energy and began to bite Curry.

Gasol Jr. picked up, and Milicic crouched directly near the three-second zone and didn't go out.

Gasol Jr. hesitated to receive the ball and chose a high mid-range shot that missed the shot.

Milicic got the rebound in the backcourt, and the ball went to Harden, who slowly walked through the half.

When it comes to saving energy, Harden has a knack for walking and never running.

He's not like Curry, running on the court.

The lob was given to Randolph in the low post, and Randolph received the ball and forced Gasol Jr. again.

After turning inside, the hook of the left hand crossed the fingertips of Gasol Jr. and won two points!

At 30:28, the score was only 2 points away.

Cole sensed something was wrong.

He didn't move when he was holding the pause in his hand, and he had to wait and see.

Dragic continued to press Curry with a full-court defense.

After Curry passed the half, he found that the opposing defense was very tight.

So the ball was given to the bottom corner, and PJ Tucker received the ball and made a three-point shot.

It's a pity that the ball didn't hit, and Tucker didn't feel good when he first came on.

Milicic once again defended the backcourt rebound and gave the ball to Harden.

The game was gradually controlled by the Tyronn Lue team.

Harden goes one-on-one on the outside with Ricky Davis.

Ricky Davis' defense was in place, and Harden repeatedly dribbled and repeatedly got rid of it but still couldn't break through Ricky Davis.

In the end, Harden forced a mid-range jumper in the face of Ricky, and the ball went in!

Harden used his strong upper body strength to stay stable, hit a strong shot, and the two sides were tied!

At 30:30, there are only 20 points left on both sides.

Kerr sensed things weren't going well and used up his timeout.

On the sidelines, Rosser and Olsa praised Tyronn Lue.

"Tyronn Lue's adjustment was really immediate, and he immediately caught up with the score."

"Yes, it's a great adjustment, it's the first time he's in contact with this group of players."

'I think he's got the potential to be a manager, and while Kerr is also very good, Tyronn Lue has the temperament of a manager.

Cole is Lebanese, blonde, and good-looking white.

Tyronn Lue is a mixed-race black man, who looks like a sea bass as his name suggests.

Olser and Rosser can think that Tyronn Lue is more temperamental, and they are really blind.

Obviously, even if Kerr wins this game, these two guys will probably vote for Tyronn Lue.

After all, they have already seen that Min Congda wants Tyronn Lue to be the coach.

Kerr hasn't given up yet, and after some adjustments, he used up his second substitution, replacing Ricky Davis with Jimmy Butler.

Here, Cole actually made a mistake.

Butler is indeed younger and more physical.

However, he is inexperienced and his outside projection is very inconsistent.

In the face of Tyronn Lue's shrinking defense, he came up to catch the ball and broke through and was blown a start by Lucas.

Then Harden drove the basket with the ball, causing Butler to draw a defensive foul and make free throws from the free throw line, hitting two free throws.

The Tyronn Lue team insisted on biting Curry, and Curry and Gasol Jr. did a good job of distributing the ball.

But Butler, Tucker, and George couldn't hit three-pointers from the outside.

The poor feel on the outside was contagious, and Kerr's three-point shooting percentage plummeted.

And the Tyronn Lue team insisted on rushing inside, not shooting three-pointers, with a high success rate, and the referee gave the whistle.

There's no doubt that the momentum of the game is taking a sharp turn in the direction of Team Tyronn Lue.

The worst problem for Kerr is that the players aren't fighting for victory.

Once the momentum and morale are gone, the players don't have too much motivation to grit their teeth and desperately win the game.

Anyway, in the intra-team game, in the game to decide the head coach, Kerr does not have to be the head coach.

On the side of the Tyronn Lue team, Tyronn Lue has won the popularity of the players with a few simple exchanges and contacts.

No way, Tyronn Lue is black, and most of the NBA players are black, and black coaches have a natural advantage in this regard.

Cole is very good, but in terms of popularity, he can't reach the level of Min Congda, so the players are determined to support him and want to win the game to promote him.

The 50-point battle has been played for half an hour, and the fatigue of the players on both sides is rising.

In the face of Tyronn Lue's slow and steady pace, Kerr's defense finally collapsed.

After the two sides tied at 42:42, Tyronn Lue hit a wave of 8:1 offensive shockwaves from Team Kerr.

Harden, Randolph, Milicic, and Dragic scored in a row.

In the end, it was Harden who ended the head coach selection match with a mid-range jumper that changed his direction.

At the moment of hitting, there was no celebration, no cheering, everyone just breathed a sigh of relief.

Steve Kerr took the initiative to shake hands with Tyronn Lue and congratulate him, knowing that the head coach position was out of his own.

Losing this duel, Cole was convinced, of course, he vaguely sensed that something seemed to be wrong, but the game was lost, and he had to admit defeat.

Kerr smiled: "Congratulations to Tarron, I think you will succeed in becoming the head coach of this excellent team." ”

Taryn Lud: "I think my success must be inseparable from your help, and you're going to stay, Steve, isn't it?" ”

There was a hint of hesitation on Kerr's face, and after losing the game and losing his qualification as head coach, Kerr did resign.

He was undoubtedly disappointed in his heart, and at the same time, he couldn't get over his face, and he lost to a rookie who was better than himself.

So how can he continue to mess around with the Clippers?

But Tyronn Lue's words don't seem like polite words, and Kerr is reluctant to leave the Clippers.

The potential of this team is really huge and he doesn't want to miss the opportunity to forge a great team together.

Of course, it is impossible for him to have no mustard in his heart, and the seeds of rupture have been planted at this time, but the ground has not yet been broken.

When the time comes, Cole is truly grown, and he will definitely leave here to go where his great ambitions can be realized.
