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

Chapter 200 Fighting hard (second update)

The situation at the beginning of the fourth game did not quickly turn to the Clippers because of the change of lineup.

The Lakers still have an absolute advantage, and they played very easily.

Baron Davis tried to break the deadlock with a strong mid-range shot.

As a result, the shot was missed and was obviously short.

Bynum got the backboard and the Lakers counterattacked.

Kobe took the ball from outside the three-point line to attract the defense, and suddenly a concealed high-throw pass to the inside.

Bynum jumped up and hit the basket alley-oop.

Subsequently, the Clippers made a mistake in the low attack.

The pass to Randolph is intercepted.

The Lakers counterattacked, and Bynum held the ball in the low post to force Gasol Jr.

Turn around and hit the hook, 8:0.

The Clippers' nightmare is not over yet.

The new starting lineup is clearly a bit of a mess.

PJ-Tucker stumbled with the ball and almost made a mistake.

In the end, the ball was given to Gordon, who forced a layup with the ball and missed.

The Lakers got another chance to counterattack, and Kobe slowly passed halftime.

Break through the middle after a pick-and-roll, attract the defense, and pass the ball to the corner.

Fisher received the ball and made a three-pointer.

The Lakers beat the Clippers 11:0 at the start.

The Clippers had no power to resist.

It was exactly the same as the first three games, and even worse than the first three games.

Upon seeing this, Dunleavy could only call a short timeout of 20 seconds.

what should I do?This set of starters doesn't seem to work.

General manager Smart is just a general manager after all, and being a head coach is two different things.

Can talking on paper be the same as doing it in practice?

Some changes look beautiful, but actually playing them is another matter.

But Dunleavy didn't say anything, and didn't change the lineup during the timeout.

Leaders make changes, and losers count as leaders.

If he changes players before the battle, wouldn't it be his head coach's responsibility to lose?
Therefore, Dunleavy just asked everyone to relax and play together seriously.

There was no substitution.

PJ-Tucker's starting strength can't keep up.

Mainly, he has a serious lame attack on the offensive end.

Facing Artest on the defensive end, he did not show his own characteristics.

Instead, he held back when attacking, and stopped the offense as soon as he got the ball.

Can't connect as well as Ricky Davis.

Min Congda was quite pleasantly surprised when he saw the start at 0:11.

But I was a little confused, thinking: "Is my idea wrong? Then if I become a coach in the future, can I set the worst record?"

In doubt, the short timeout ended and the game continued.

The Clippers have to score.

Randolph was the first to stand up.

Randolph didn't die in the low post anymore, so he just fell into the trap of the Lakers' intensive defense.

Pull away to clear space inside and catch the ball on the heelside.

Then he rushed to Bynum with the ball in front of him, and succeeded in throwing the basket with his left hand.

At the same time also caused a foul by Pau Gasol.

Min Congda took a look, "Is this foul fouled by the ball? Are you blind again, the referee?"

Pau Gasol did touch Randolph's arm.

But it can be blown or not blown.

The referee obviously saw that the Clippers' situation was too miserable.

You have to blow a balance.

Randolph stood at the free throw line and made an additional free throw.

At 11:3, the Clippers stabilized the situation slightly.

This ball hit is very important to the Clippers.

If you continue to fail to score and continue to lose points, the whole team will be unable to come out in a bad state.

They will always stay in the first three defeats, unable to find the feeling of winning.

Winning requires confidence.

Especially in basketball, self-confidence is very important.

Because basketball is essentially a game of chance.

At the moment of the shot, whether to enter or not has been left to God.

No matter how good the cooperation is, no matter how good the opportunity is, if you miss the shot, you will be blind.

The cooperation is average, the opportunity is not good, if you enter, then you are awesome.

Although football also has the problem of missing shots.

But football may only score one or two in a game, and there is a lot of preparation in the early stage.

In basketball, one is thrown within 24 seconds of a game, and the shooting percentage is an important statistic.

For this kind of game with a lot of projections and odds, the player's self-confidence is especially important.

Kobe is so strong, super self-confidence is definitely one of the reasons.

Moreover, basketball players, masters, and superstars are generally confident.

This has something to do with the characteristics of the sport of basketball.

For the Clippers, it is a good thing to gradually regain their confidence.

In the playoffs, the best way to regain confidence is actually defense.

After three games, the Clippers have never found a good way to deal with the Lakers' offense.

The Lakers' internal and external combination is excellent.

Kobe's bottom corner draws space to attract defense.

Fisher broke through from the left and threw the ball high inside.

Bynum took advantage of his height and wingspan to make an alley-oop throw.

Then, Gordon missed a three-pointer.

Kobe hit the Clippers with a three-pointer at the top of the arc!
16:3!The Lakers have led by 13 points!

The Clippers were swept 0:4, and it seemed imminent.

After less than half of the first quarter, they were so far behind.

I dug a huge hole for myself, how to chase after it?
However, the Lakers' defense has slackened.

It's not slack, but Phil Jackson's usual method.

In the case of leading the opponent by a large score, suddenly adopt a shrinking defense.

Give you a wide open opportunity for you to vote.

This is a defensive psychological tactic that the Lakers often use.

First of all, I have a big lead, and the defense can be a little looser to save energy.

At the same time, I will shrink in a large area and give you an open space for you to vote.

If you can make the shot, it doesn't matter if I have a big lead anyway.

But the three-pointer is unstable. Once you miss it, your mentality is easy to collapse.

When three-pointers were not particularly popular, this trick often worked wonders.

It's only since this season that three-pointers have become more and more popular.

PJ Tucker gets a wide open in the corner.

He even had time to take a deep breath, take aim and shoot.

Three point hit!

After scoring the goal, Tucker clenched his fist and roared to release his pressure.

As the player at the end of the bench, Xia Tian catches up with the stray players on the last train.

PJ-Tucker cherishes every opportunity he has on the court.

In particular, Min Congda happily gave him a two-year guarantee contract.

It can be said that as long as Tucker is on the stage, he will do his best and fight as his last game.

In addition to playing hard throughout the season, he has been training hard.

Train your three-point shooting ability.

Tonight, the [-]-point hit meant his workouts paid off.

The point difference is still 10 points, but the Clippers are gradually finding their status.

Then they blocked the Lakers with a tough physical confrontation in defense.

In the end, Kobe forced a shot and missed, Tucker squeezed away Artest and grabbed a backcourt rebound!
The Clippers' first counterattack opportunity tonight.

Baron Davis is one-stop, breaking through the middle and rushing to the basket!
The Lakers were too long inside and missed a layup.

However, Tucker rushed up and grabbed an offensive rebound.

Layup, blocked by Bynum, the height difference is too much.

But he squeezed the position under the basket and regained the ball.

And then on!

Still covered.

This time the referee blew his whistle.

Bynum's defensive foul!Tucker free throw!
The Clippers fans in the audience were loud and applauded for Tucker's hard work.

With Tucker making two free throws, 16:8, the point difference was a little closer.

Only then did Deng Lewei understand why Min Congda signed Tucker in the first place.

In the playoffs, this little-known player will be put in the starting lineup.

He has a drive and ruthlessness that the Clippers lack.

Min Congda looked at Tucker's performance and thought to himself: "I only signed the person who was agreed to be rejected by each team, and it turned out to be something."
