I was determined to be bad, but I went straight to the Basketball Hall of Fame

Chapter 113 The devil's schedule starts (fifth change)
Min Congda watched the game from the sidelines, and he was very satisfied with the result.

"Sure enough, if the internal distribution of a team is unbalanced, there will definitely be problems. I just used a little trick to let Dunleavy increase the playing time of Curry and others, and the unity of the team immediately declined. The state is unstable."

"Haha, our Clippers team is nothing more than that. The little stable structure established before is so fragile."

"As soon as I exerted a little force, you fell down, just like a castle built with sand by the sea. It looks good. When a wave hits, there is nothing left."

It can be seen that this guy is in a good mood.

Gordon was injured, and there were signs of conflict in the team.

The previous main players complained about the shortened playing time.

Players who substitute for increased playing time are not used to it, and their performance fluctuates instead.

Min Congda's move to forcibly intervene, the layman intervening with the expert, really had an effect.

After the game, Gordon's injury report came out, and he will miss three to four weeks because of a sprained ankle.

It seems that it will not be in time for Christmas, and the Clippers will lose their generals.

The upside is that Dunleavy doesn't have to worry about scheduling Gordon and Curry.

Gordon can't make it, just to increase Curry's appearance and use him as a shooting guard.

The disadvantage is naturally that the defensive strength of the backcourt has dropped significantly.

On December 12, the Clippers went to Indianapolis to challenge the Pacers away.

The Pacers are a team that is extremely lacking in offensive talent, and the game between the two sides was very ugly.

In an ugly tug of war, the Clippers still won a victory 83:72.

Curry played 25 minutes this time, but he didn't feel good. He made 5 of 1 outside three-pointers, scored only 4 points, and only had 2 assists.

接着12月8号，12月13号有比赛，两场比赛之间间隔了4天。

Give the players plenty of time to rest and adjust.

As a result, on the 8th, they played against the Orlando Magic, 90:97, and lost at home simply and neatly.

Curry played 26 minutes, made 6 of 2 three-pointers, and made 10 of 3 shots in the game. He only scored 10 points and 4 assists.

Facing the powerful Magic, the Clippers did not take the initiative at any time in the audience, and were always under pressure.

Dwight Howard had 27 points and 11 rebounds in this game, sending out 7 big blocks, and blocked the Clippers at Staples.

Jordan, who came off the bench, was as embarrassed as he was facing Howard. 2 turnovers and 3 fouls were all his contributions.

With this kind of performance, Dunleavy forced him to play for 18 minutes on the court.

In the end, Jordan lost all confidence after being beaten, so he took the initiative to ask Coach Dunleavy to replace him.

On the 13th, the Clippers played at home against the San Antonio Spurs, a strong opponent in Texas.

The four-day rest period did not improve the team's condition. On the contrary, everyone did not train together during the holidays and played their own games during the holidays. Instead, they took a rest.

The Spurs have always been known for their stability. Regardless of the regular season playoffs, the Spurs are as stable and rock-solid as their core Duncan.

If the Clippers are united and in outstanding form, they can still fight, but now that the team's hearts are floating and there are injuries, they are not the opponents of the Spurs at all.

The Staples Center experienced a one-sided carnage, and the Clippers were pulled away by 11 points from the first quarter.

Randolph, who was always able to open up the situation by relying on the low position in the first quarter, suffered a disadvantage against Duncan tonight and missed consecutively.

The Spurs led the way, playing without any ups and downs or suspense, and opened the score early.

In the end, the Spurs swept the Clippers 115:91 with a huge gap of 24 points, giving Clippers fans another disappointing night.

Tonight, Curry played 27 minutes, made 11 of 4 shots, 5 of 2 three-pointers, scored 12 points and sent 4 assists.

The performance was disappointing. After playing time increased, he didn't know how to play.

Min Congda was watching Curry's struggling performance at home. The Los Angeles media that praised him before changed the topic and changed it to "Los Angeles No. [-] pick hits the rookie wall, increased playing time but poor performance".

"Hey, my painstaking efforts are finally about to bloom and bear fruit in this beautiful winter day. Why do they bear fruit in winter? Los Angeles has a Mediterranean climate, with mild and humid winters, which is conducive to fruit flowering, pollination, and fruit bearing."

Seeing Curry's poor performance, the team's unfavorable wins, and the lackluster defeat, Min Congda felt that his earlier layout finally worked.

This guy is very happy, and I don’t forget to show off my geographical knowledge. The average temperature in Los Angeles in December is 12 degrees, which is really very livable.

But since December, the Clippers have 12 win and 1 losses, and have lost all three home games.

As a result, the Clippers' home attendance continued to decline, and the Spurs' attendance dropped to 71%.

Looking at the gradually empty Staples Center and the gradually increasing bank card balance, Min Congda's mood was as warm and bright as the winter sunshine in Los Angeles.

And he thinks his better days are yet to come.

Looking at the Clippers' schedule, it will be mid-December, before Christmas, the Clippers will experience a long road trip.

They will play 6 consecutive away games, and they will spend two full weeks in hotels and on planes.

This will be a huge test for the physical and mental strength of the players.

It is also a difficult temper for the unity and tacit understanding of the team.

If one is not careful, the team can easily lose consecutive games.

The good team atmosphere and morale accumulated before will be completely lost.

How else can we say that the NBA regular season is difficult, this is an endurance run.

You might be ahead for a while, but over the course of a long season, anything wrong can mean you fall behind and get knocked out.

Those strong teams with a stable lineup structure and strong combat power can cope with many emergencies.

The Clippers, who have just played well for a month, are very vulnerable.

A small internal conflict, or an injury to a key player, may cause the team's combat strength to stretch.

After a big loss to the Spurs, the Clippers players didn't have time to change their mood, and there will be back-to-back games soon.

On December 12, they played against the Washington Wizards at home.

Due to the recent poor performance of the Clippers, the box office of this game fell to the bottom of the new season.

Before the game, Min Congda read the attendance reported by Ada. There were only 12589 people, and the attendance rate was only 68%!

It finally fell below 70.00%. Min Congda was very satisfied and went to watch the game in person.

Min Congda found the sparse auditorium criss-crossed, which made Min Congda very pleasing to the eye.

Facing the weak Wizards team with only 7 wins, the Clippers played extremely hard at home.

Randolph became the backbone of the Clippers, scoring 31 points in a single game as the team lost consecutive games.

Scoring 30 points for the second time this season, withstood the pressure from the away team and the lack of internal morale.

Curry picked up a bit. In this game, he scored 15 points and sent a season-high 10 assists.

He worked hard to organize and knead the team, and this game had a certain effect. The Clippers defeated the Wizards by 98:96 with a 2-point advantage.

Arenas missed a three-pointer at the last moment, and the Clippers escaped.

Three years ago, Agent Zero at his peak would definitely not give the Clippers a life, but give the Clippers a fatal blow with a super long three-pointer.

Min Congda looked at Arenas' last three-pointer and felt extremely regretful, but he thought it was okay.

The Wizards who were defeated by the Clippers are so reluctant, which shows that their recent combat power is really not good enough.

Morale in the team is low, and Curry and Davis seem to be at odds.

In these two games, as long as the two were on the court at the same time, Davis didn't pass the ball to Curry very much.

The increase in Curry's playing time threatened Baron Davis' status on the team.

Davis knows that a youngster like Curry will one day replace him, but it's a little too soon.

Baron Davis also wants to lay the groundwork for his pension contract.

With a record of 2 wins and 3 losses in the first two weeks of December, the Clippers embarked on their first long-distance road trip of the season the day after the game against the Wizards.

Min Congda was hesitant to follow, because the first three away games were all in the north, and it was freezing cold in December. Isn't it uncomfortable to stay in the warm Los Angeles?
But one day when he was going to New York, D'Addario and Min Congda made an appointment to meet. Thinking of having a beautiful woman in his arms, Min Congda decided that he would bear it no matter how cold it was!

Besides, witnessing the Clippers' six-game losing streak on the spot, sitting on a salary of 12000 US dollars, and starting with money and beauties, I am very excited to think about it.

Therefore, Min Congda and the whole team went to Minnesota, the first stop of the six-game streak, to start the devil's schedule before Christmas.

Jordan Peele's film crew accompanied him. Before the plane took off, they recorded Min Congda's relaxed and happy expression with a video camera.

Everyone believes that Mr. Smart is so optimistic in this downturn for the whole team, and his good attitude is really admirable.
