Chapter 598: The First Trick

Before the start of the third game, the Clippers advised Min Congda not to go to Miami and stay in Los Angeles to watch the game.

Shri Sterling, as the owner of the Clippers, protested to the NBA official, arguing that Min Congda's behavior was to protect his players and should not be punished.

From this point of view, Shelly Sterling is still very authentic, no matter what the facts are, she is firmly on her own side and protects her shortcomings.

Maybe the female boss is just more emotional.

Of course, the Heat also carried out a lot of counterattacks, and the two sides continued to fight.

In addition to breaking the news that Min Congda is "mentally disabled", the media in Miami also published a column listing all kinds of "atrocities" since Min Congda entered the league.

The classic famous scene of popcorn bucket buckling the referee's head photo has once again swiped the screen on the Internet.

In addition to the Miami media, the media in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and other places also came out to join in the fun, writing articles criticizing and attacking Min Congda and Los Angeles.

The Northeast region of the United States, as a "traditional elite area", has always been quite arrogant, the sports industry here is very developed, the sports media are the best in the United States in terms of quantity and quality, and the poisonous comments are endless.

Located on the West Coast, the warm, liberal California region has always been a sworn enemy of the cold Northeast Old White Zone, and the feud between the two sides in basketball began in the 1960s.

It's just that at that time, it was always the Los Angeles Lakers who represented the California region.

This time the opponent has become the Clippers, and of course these swordsmen will not let go of this opportunity and write a big book.

believes that the alliance is "too lenient and conniving" in its treatment of Min Congda, and there is a suspicion of special treatment." ”

"His behavior and team-building model are incompatible with the American spirit of freedom and fraternity, and we have every reason to suspect that the Clippers are becoming a dictatorial and evil empire under his leadership."

"The Clippers have an astonishing number of player changes, and the players are in his hands, which is simply 'lifelong', which is not in line with the laws of the player market."

"He's a rule-breaker, and even his reasons for getting to the top are very questionable, including the change of owners of the Clippers, which smacks of conspiracy."

These media in New York have always been bitter and mean and dare to say anything, and they know what the American people like to hear and what kind of speech they like to watch.

Min Congda's yellow skin and black eyes have always been something that can be used to make a fuss.

Unlike Yao Ming, Yao Ming came to the United States, although he was questioned and despised at first, and then he used his emotional intelligence, strength, humility, and humor to win the attention of Americans and become a representative of the "Oriental Giant".

In the eyes of the Americans, this is an interesting foreign visitor, a guest from across the Pacific who is welcomed by them.

Min Congda is different, he was also despised and questioned at the beginning, but his way of proving himself is not Yao Ming's, in the eyes of some Americans, this guy behaves in some ways more American than Americans, arrogant, fearless, quite familiar with the rules of American society, and even full of a kind of wild cowboy flavor in the Western era.

This makes some people feel the crisis, and they realize that this is not an oriental guest, but a competitor who is very similar to them, but he still retains a strong Chinese color, and he is simply a composite monster.

This kind of person is either a genius or a psychopath.

Of course, the report given by the psychiatrist proves that this guy is the latter.

The pressure on public opinion is very great, and a series of articles, reports, and sarcasm both overtly and covertly have surging in a short period of time.

People with poor psychological quality may collapse when they see this.

Will Min Congda collapse? Of course he collapsed, he would have collapsed a long time ago, and he could wait until this time?

But he was still very angry in his heart, because he found that some of the black materials, secrets, and words that these media attacked him were all tweets he had posted on NBA-Batman before, and they sorted out and plagiarized!

"I'm a good guy, stealing the materials I wrote to hack me? Did you pay the fucking royalties? I run a Twitter account, I don't accept an advertisement or promotion, I don't have a penny of income, it's pure public welfare, and you still have to use it to make up articles to attack Lao Tzu, TM's ......"

Min Congda was so angry in his heart, he knew that he was so rich, he should have found a way to cash it out.

It's a pity, this account has been hidden by the system, and it's impossible to make money, as a means of public opinion attack, it was originally used to attack the Clippers, but now it's okay, boomerang, stick it in your head.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, no matter how persuaded by the people around him, he still had to go to Miami and watch the third game of the finals on the spot.

On the plane to Miami, Min Congda took the initiative to participate in the tactical discussions of the coaching staff.

Because Randolph will be suspended for Game 3, the Clippers must change their position at power forward.

Listening to Tyronn Lue, Mike Malone, Lao Kim, Lucas and others discuss for a long time, either Davis or Bonner's, Min Congda couldn't help it.

"I don't think it's a pain in your command of the game?"

"Can you open your mind? Are your brains all mushy? ”

"Why do you need to use a big forward in the big forward position, the big brothers in the finals, think more about ideas, use your brains more, okay?"

"Look at your pay slips, is it worth your salary to lose like this in the second game?"

Min Congda criticized mercilessly, from the perspective of fans, he really can't stand the conservative style of the coaching staff.

In the regular season, the Clippers have an endless variety of lineups, and they can win all kinds of games.

But when it came to such a key game as the finals, it was tied up, and it was stable, but the game was very difficult.

An accident was given by the opponent and he lost the game.

Everyone was silent and didn't dare to speak, but Tyronn Lu said: "That... Then let's play one big and four small, and let Leonard, Butler, and George appear together, and we have played this routine. ”

Min Congda closed his eyes, thinking to himself what you chose, idol, is indeed a mediocre talent, just bear with it.

Mike Malone said at this time: "I think Harden should be started and partnered with Curry. ”

Min Congda nodded slightly, and Tyronn Lue said: "Then let Leonard go to the position of power forward..."

Min Congda shook his head and said, "No, don't let Kawyan play the No. 4 position, he may be able to, but it is not suitable for him." ”

Mike Malone was also a little strange, he thought he was keeping up with Min Congda's train of thought, but he didn't expect to keep up.

"Who's going to use that?"

"Harden, of course, why are you so stupid?"

Harden, who was sitting in the back seat, overheard the conversation from the coaching staff and asked loudly, "Why did Mr. Smart let me go to the No. 4 position?" ”

Min Congda said: "Because you are fat, you are stable, and you can withstand people." ”

“……”

Harden tried to refute, but found that there was nothing to say.

Harden was a fat man when he was a child, and he was prone to obesity.

With such a large amount of exercise in the NBA, it is still easy for him to grow meat.

Not to mention the abdominal muscles, the belly is starting to gain weight.

In his fourth year in the league, at 196 years tall, he already weighs more than some small forwards.

For interior players, weight is as important as height, and height alone without weight tonnage will not be able to withstand the opponent.

Correspondingly, if you don't have a height, your weight is qualified, although it is not good, but if the defense is in place, it will not be too much of a problem.

Bosh is not Duncan, not Nowitzki, if these two goods, let Harden play the No. 4 position for nothing.

Bosh has not been able to really prove his offensive ability in the high-intensity playoffs so far.

His scoring is a complement to the team's attack, not a stalwt.

Everyone discussed it and thought that this kind of arrangement was feasible.

followed Min Congda and said: "I tested so many offensive systems in the regular season, why don't you use it?" Why not get Livingston on? Why not expand the rotation? Why the rigid downpacing? Do you think I can not be in pain? ”

Tyronn Lue and Mike Malone were scolded and couldn't raise their heads, but they thought in their hearts, this is the finals, it is very normal to shrink the rotation and reduce the rhythm, not everyone is like you, the tactical style is fierce and aggressive.

But the boss of the team has said that it will be arranged to play like this.

Tyronn Lue breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that the third game had something to rely on.

And Mike Malone silently wrote it down in a small notebook, learn it, learn endlessly.

On June 11, the third game of the finals, American Airlines Center Arena, the home of the Miami Heat.

The Heat team, who returned to the South Coast with a score of 1:1, was full of fans, and the whole court wore white T-shirts, symbolizing the white-hot atmosphere.

The Clippers' blue jersey looks particularly striking and lonely in a sea of white-red.

Min Congda entered the stadium tonight under Sloan's personal protection.

As soon as he sat in the front seat, there were fans around him who booed him.

Before the start of the game, the big screen at the scene also gave Min Congda a close-up.

Min Congda waved his hand to everyone at the scene very graciously, and there was another round of boos as expected.

But overall, the fans at the Heat scene are not particularly crazy, unlike Boston fans, who sometimes seem crazy in order to support the Celtics and attack opponents, and can say anything and do anything.

Florida is originally a well-known retirement mecca in the United States, with a lot of old people, tourists, and immigrants from Cuba and Mexico.

I support my team Heat, but not much, cheer if I can win, and leave the court early to go home if I can't win, and there is a traffic jam on the road in the province.

Ahead of the game, Tyronn Lue reminded his players, "We're going to spend three away games here, it's a challenge for us, but it's also an opportunity. We've always been better away from home than we've been at home, and we've been more focused on the road. You know, I'm a quiet person, I think it's too noisy in here. ”

When it came to the away game, even Director Lu became domineering, thinking that the American Airlines Center was too noisy, and asked everyone to reduce the noise here.

After speaking, Tyronn Lue touched the small note in his inner pocket, which was the four tips that Min Congda wrote to himself before the game, one for each quarter, and he could take it out and watch it when he was suspended at any time.

With these, he has a lot more confidence in his heart.

"It shouldn't be blank this time, right?"

The game is about to start with starters from both sides.

There are no changes for the Heat, Howard, Bosh, Lewis, Wade, Nash.

On the Clippers' side, Randolph was suspended for one game, and James Harden started in Randolph's place.

It is still very reasonable to replace a fat man with a fat man.

The Heat, on their side, apparently expected the Clippers to change lineups, using one big and four small.

So, when Howard jumped the ball in the opening game, Nash took the ball over half court and passed the ball to Bosh in the low post.

But what the Heat didn't expect was that the Clippers would use Harden to defend against Bosh?

Harden is riveting in the low post, not giving up an inch of land, I don't jump anyway, it's useless to jump, if you have the ability, just vote.

As a result, Bosh's first turnaround shot really didn't go in!

The most lethal problem with Bosh's low post attack is that he is average in weight and shoulder width.

If you move to fight, or face the basket, the threat of Bosh is still very great.

But stopped, playing a ground-sitting cannon like Harden, he was really not easy to deal with.

On the Clippers' side, Curry dribbled past half court and handed the ball to Harden to run on his own.

Leonard suddenly made an empty cut to the basket, Harden arced the ball to the basket, and Leonard made a layup.

This kind of movement and strategy is something that the Clippers have rarely seen in the first two games.

The twin stars started at the same time, and the Clippers' firepower increased by more than one notch.

And defense, as long as Harden can handle Bosh and don't let him shoot above 45 percent, it's not much of a problem.

The Heat's second offense still missed, and Wade's mid-range smashed into the front of the basket.

Harden got the rebound, pushed the counterattack directly, and made a long pass to George, George broke quickly, had no chance to go to the basket, dribbled out, suddenly turned around, killed a horse gun, and broke into the basket for a layup!

Then, Leonard was in defense, sticking to Lewis and cutting the ball directly.

Curry went down, received the ball, paused, and shot directly at 45 degrees on the right side for three points, and then hit!

The opening game was 7:0, and the Heat team was directly stopped!

The Heat are completely out of tune with the rhythm of the Clippers' new lineup.

It's too fast, the offense is too sharp, the Heat players are a little blind, and the game is on?

Obviously, after getting the home-court advantage, the Heat players were a little loose.

More importantly, before the game, Spo was not expected and prepared for the Clippers' style of play.

Spooburn thought the Clippers would start with Anthony Davis, but who knew it was Harden.

And he also used Harden to defend Bosh, which was really unexpected.

Taryn Lue touched the note in his pocket and thought to himself, this is just the beginning, so I don't need to look at it.

Bear with it, wait until the middle lineup rotates.

The timeout ended quickly, the game resumed, and the Heat gradually regained some form.

Bosh and Howard scored on the inside one after another, and the Heat saw that Randolph was not there, so they wanted to chisel on the inside.

But the Clippers played on the road, and the players were extremely focused and decisive, and quickly took a 15-7, 8-point lead.

However, when Howard got the rebound in the frontcourt, the ball was distributed to the outside line, and Nash hit a three-pointer, the gap was narrowed to five points, 15-10.

Tyronn Lue called a timeout, and the Clippers needed to adjust a bit.

More importantly, Coach Lu should take a look at the tips and revise the strategy.

But when he opened the first piece of paper and looked at it, he was shocked.

He thought to himself, is this okay?

Because the note reads: Let Gasol Jr. control the ball.
