"Breakthrough, breakthrough, breakthrough! Don't hesitate! ”

"Rush in, take turns rushing in, don't spare your physical strength!"

"Be smart, use your body well, and learn to cheat."

"Speed doesn't come first, rhythm is the most important ......"

"Don't me again!"

"Stop dunking! Stop! Rest! ”

At the Clippers' training center, the players are training for the game.

After lunch, Min Congda joined the training in order to eliminate food.

He enjoys playing while coaching the players to attack.

With the most offensive resources in the league, Min Congda asked the Clippers players to simplify their offensive methods.

The passing and cutting, which had played an important role before, in Min Congda's view, somewhat constrained the individual abilities of the players.

In some rounds, the players take the ball and possess the ball directly, and the effect is much better than passing around.

In the vast majority of teams, there is only one playmaker who can shoot from the outside, and two are already quite scary.

Like why the Spurs were so strong, a strong single point in the middle and low position of the offense, a small spinning top and a demon knife on the outside, not to mention that the Spurs tactics are proficient and exquisite, many times they can't play tactics, and they can also play tactical effects purely by relying on strong bursts on the outside.

Therefore, the peak Spurs tactics have a fairly high margin for error, and it is difficult for opponents to defend.

As for the Clippers, they have four semi-elite level playmakers and two main ball-handling breakers.

This offensive resource can be said to be quite terrifying, and the main Min Congda didn't expect that guys like Leonard and Butler, who couldn't understand the ball in their rookie season, would have such a good ball-handling attack in their third season - and still improving.

Training and playing with them, Min Congda can perceive the technical characteristics of each of them, so distinct, so with their own characteristics, and they are good at playing to their strengths and avoiding weaknesses.

Like Butler's reach, explosiveness, and dribbling skills, to be honest, just like that, but he's smart, and he's the biggest beneficiary of the Clippers' massive misalignment offense, or rather, he's executing well.

As long as he is playing against top defenders in the same position as him, Butler generally does not rush, passes the ball, or uses shooting to solve problems.

As soon as the defense is misplaced, big or small or big, Butler will attack with the ball.

For example, when he switched to Min Congda, he did not hesitate to rush up to block the dunk, or pass the basket in one step.

Paul George, on the other hand, is much more explosive, has a fast start, good bounce, and an excellent arm span, and he is the player with the most dunks from the outside of the Clippers.

Leonard is another situation, his dribbling and shooting are a little stiff, but his arm span, shoulder width and other hardware conditions are particularly good, and he practiced his back in the third season of his career, although it is not as beautiful as Kobe and Jordan, it is better than practical.

He doesn't break through quickly, and he is good at using his body to squeeze in, and then use his big hands and reach to create a mobile opportunity under the basket.

Of course, all three shot pretty well, George had the best three-point shooting and a good volume shooting percentage, Leonard had the best mid-range shooting and could also make three-pointers, and Butler was in between.

In addition to the three young fronts, the Clippers backcourt duo are not to mention them, they are no longer simply elite-level, but MVP and MVP reserves.

Yesterday the NBA announced the results of the 13-14 regular season MVP, Curry was successfully selected, this good news made Curry quite excited, so today in the training hat Min Congda 4 times to celebrate the first personal honor of his career.

Min Congda was very angry and called for a halt to the training and let everyone rest.

Sipping water on the sidelines, after a season of tempering, Min Congda's skills have made great progress.

He plans to continue to participate in AAU competitions in the summer, compete with the masters of the United States, and play if he can, but if he can't beat him, he is ready to shake people, anyway, there are many powerful people in his own team.

"The infinite misalignment is really flawless, but... Hey, this kind of configuration is rare in the world. ”

said that he was angry and rested, but in fact, Min Congda was thinking about the team's tactical system.

The system of infinite misalignment is simple and crude, and for the defender, it can be said that there is no solution.

The only way to deal with this system is to rely on individual ability and fighting will.

It's like a cold, there is actually no specific medicine, and you can only rely on your immune system.

Therefore, the strength of the Clippers is still based on having such a group of strong players, and they will use infinite dislocation to bring out their abilities, so as not to overflow the offense and waste talent.

It can be said that this is a kind of thinking of a triangular offensive in the new era.

But Min Congda also realized that the upper limit of this system is high, and the lower limit is also very low.

If you have only one playmaker in the team and the others are functional players, then this simple and crude style of play will definitely not work.

Of course, from the perspective of future development trends, the status of outside ball-holding attackers will become higher and higher, and bursting, points, and three-point points will become the technical standard for outside ball-holders.

Min Congda pondered that if the Clippers didn't have such a thick ball-handling offensive resource, such as a small forward being poached, or injuries and degradation, which step should they take?

When Min Congda is not a moth or a mole, and thinks about basketball wholeheartedly, his talent and vision are amazing.

Although the CPU processing power is insufficient, as long as he is given enough time to slowly understand and think slowly, he can always have a clear insight.

In his opinion, this season, whether the Clippers are in the Western Conference Finals or the Finals, if there are no accidents, there will be no opponents.

The Thunder and Warriors will not be able to defeat the Clippers no matter who makes it to the Western Conference finals, and the consumption of the two teams in the semifinals is too great.

Especially the Thunder, Ibaka was injured, and the seventh-ranked Warriors played so badly, multiple overtimes, and the physical consumption was very large.

And from a psychological point of view, since 11 years, they have not been able to break through for four seasons, and now the young players are very impatient, eager to achieve something, and the mentality will be a huge test.

After the training, Min Congda asked the players to go back and rest well, maintain a good mentality and physical condition, and welcome the Western Conference Finals.

Curry asked Min Congda: "Smart, who do you think the opponent in the Western Conference Finals will be, the Thunder or the Warriors?" ”

Min Congda said: "Who do you want to fight?" ”

Curry said, "I... I want to fight the Warriors. ”

"Why? Are you afraid of going up against the Thunder? ”

"No, I don't know why, I feel... Anyway, I just want to compete with the Warriors. Maybe it's because it's close? Haha, I don't know, we're going to win the championship this year anyway, isn't it Smart? ”

"Of course, your opponent is only yourself, I'm sure of that."

The next day, the Thunder and Warriors played a tie-break in Oklahoma, and it was a high-profile tie-break.

The process of the game was the same as Game 6, with the Thunder attacking frantically at the beginning, pressing the Warriors to play, and the crazy blue fans in the energy center all over the court gave people the feeling that the Warriors were going to be drowned in a sea of blue.

In the first half, the Thunder once stretched the maximum point difference to 13 points, and it felt like the Warriors were going to be defeated.

But the Warriors once again showed their amazing resilience, relying on three-pointers from the outside and defense in the third quarter to eat away at the Thunder's advantage.

Towards the end of the third quarter, the Warriors managed to equalize the score, and the two sides ran together into the fourth quarter.

In the fourth quarter, the Thunder inexplicably suddenly lost power on the offensive end in the middle of the fourth quarter, Durant and Westbrook missed consecutive attacks, and the Warriors counterattacked, a wave of 7:0 offensive climax, which completely reversed the situation on the court.

The Thunder were in a huge crisis, especially on a psychological level, and the players began to break down, discouraged, blame each other during the timeout, and did not communicate.

On the contrary, the Warriors are united from top to bottom, and that's the way it is on the road, there are only teammates in the world, everyone else is the enemy, and they have to stick together.

The Thunder rallied after a timeout, and at one point they closed the margin to three points, but the Warriors responded with three-pointers and quick counterattacks.

Min Congda, who was watching live TV at home, turned off the TV when he saw that there were three minutes left in the fourth quarter, because he knew that the Thunder had lost and their defense was gone.

The best way to test if a team is still cohesive is to see if their defense is still well formed and effective.

Superstars can struggle to the death on the offensive end with their competitiveness and fighting spirit, but once the defensive end is scattered, it means that the whole team's spirit is scattered and can't be pinched.

The Thunder is in such a situation, everyone's heart is scattered, thinking that the season is over to go fishing, and the last three minutes are simply torment.

Durant was still working hard and kept hitting the basket, but he didn't score much tonight, scoring only 27 points in the game.

He tried to motivate the whole team with passing and defending, but it didn't work, he wasn't that kind of material.

He is the undisputed strongest player in the team, but he doesn't have the look and feel of a leader.

In the fifth game of the team's controversial decision, Westbrook made the final free throw, and he didn't even dare to look at Westbrook's free throw, but sat with his back to the other end of the court, using the reaction of the fans to determine whether the free throw was hit.

As an ordinary player, it doesn't matter if you are the boss of the team, what do you make other players think of you?

Not to mention that Durant is naturally flawed in appearance and temperament, and at first glance he is not a leader material, and he feels like a worker.

Looking at the famous team leaders in the history of the NBA, Jordan needless to say, looks and temperament is the first among blacks.

Magic Johnson was handsome when he was young, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and Bird was also a handsome guy with blond hair and a mustache before he became an old woman with a shy-mouthed mouth.

Kobe, Garnett, and Duncan all have a natural leadership temperament and have a so-called superstar appearance.

Including OJ-Mayo, it is a pity that he has a superstar appearance but no superstar strength.

Only Durant is really the strength of a superstar killer, the temperament of a famous farmer, if there is no basketball as a sport, Gao Gao is an expert in moving bricks, and it is estimated that there will be a beautiful mason job, plastering lime without a ladder.

Everything Durant did in the game was in vain, and the Warriors maintained the lead until the end, defeating the Thunder by 101-95, 6 points, and successfully reached the Western Conference Finals!

At the end of the game, Durant looked extremely depressed, he didn't expect the Thunder to fall in the semifinals.

Even if Ibaka is injured, it stands to reason that the Thunder's strength should be above the Warriors, after all, the Warriors are ranked sixth in the West.

However, the Warriors showed great potential, amazing tenacity, and relied on tie-breaks to finish in both series.

The Warriors players are thrilled because the last time they reached the Western Conference Finals in their history was back in 1976.

At that time, the Warriors were still the defending champions, but in the Western Conference finals, because of an argument between Rick Barry and his teammates, they lost to the Suns due to internal discord, and lost the opportunity to reach the Finals in a row, and the Suns are inferior to the Warriors in terms of strength.

At that time, the Warriors proved with practical actions that no matter how strong the team is, once there is no unity within the team, it will not be able to defeat an opponent who is not as strong as itself.

Today, the Warriors are a young, united team, just like the Clippers of the day, who have become brave warriors who have successfully evolved from warriors to dragons.

In the west, it is Dragon Quest, and in the east, it is the long-awaited 23vs24.

The Cavaliers eliminated the Pacers without a thrill, and the Nets did not waste a chance at home in Game 6 after taking the Kings Mountain.

At 99:89, the Heat were dumb at Barclays Center, and the super battleship built by Riley collapsed this year.

This is actually a very normal thing, this kind of team of stars who have passed their prime, it is not easy to reach the finals in the current season, and it is reasonable to decline in the second year.

The Heat's backcourt is really not enough, and the combination of Kobe + Delon is still very powerful.

As a result, this year's Eastern Conference Finals became the Nets vs. Cavaliers, Kobe Bryant vs. James, and finally played out many years later.

The duel that David Stern failed to materialize, here comes true at Adam Silva.

Regardless of whether you win or lose this series, on and off the court, there will be a bloody storm at home and abroad.

Whoever loses, basically the fans on this side will go to eighteen layers of hell for at least a year, and Alaska will not be able to come back.

The other side can reach the finals, regardless of whether they can win the championship or not, at least relying on the title of Eastern champion, they can show off their power for a while.

In fact, most people know in their hearts that the Warriors, Nets, and Cavaliers will not be opponents of the Clippers in terms of lineup and strength.

The Clippers, who have won three consecutive championships, are indeed too terrifying, and with the in-depth run-in of the playoffs, they are tending to a perfect state.

On May 19, the first Western Conference Finals of the Clippers vs. Golden State Warriors kicked off at Stamp Center.

Ahead of the game, Adam Silva presented Stephen Curry with this year's Most Valuable Player trophy.

With the fans cheering loudly, Curry held the trophy high and became the new NBA MVP.

Min Congda watched Curry win the MVP, and he was really emotional, this TM is the elementary school student I chose in the draft!

It was really a wrong step, and it turned out that his fate was already doomed when he made the first choice.

And when Curry, who got the trophy, returned to the locker room, he put the trophy in front of Harden's locker closet.

He said, "Hey, beard, I've achieved my goal, and it's up to you next season." ”

Curry has not forgotten everyone's agreement, and next season, it will be Harden's turn to win the MVP.
