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

Chapter 300 It's Too Late (Part [-])
On December 2010, 12, the Staples Center, the Clippers vs. Timberwolves game.

After a summer of various operations, the Timberwolves got Koufos and other players from the Jazz trade, and sent Al Jefferson away.

Then in the new season, he continued to be on the road to compete for the No. [-] pick next year, and he was the best in the West.

The record of 6 wins and 22 losses made Min Congda salivate with envy.

If it weren't for the system's disapproval, Min Congda really wanted to resign and let Kahn of the Timberwolves come over to be the general manager of the Clippers.

In this year's draft and signing, Min Congda has tried his best to follow in the footsteps of the Timberwolves.

But so far this season, he feels that he still can't see the taillights of the Timberwolves management.

The gap is too fucking big. Sure enough, it is not enough to simply imitate. You must understand the essence of bad performance.

For this essence, Min Congda thought that he didn't understand enough, so he had to use the time-consuming and laborious strategy of "teaching players to play".

In this game, in the first three quarters, the Timberwolves were beaten helplessly.

Hashem Thabeet has proven to be a completely ineffective big man.

The Timberwolves are already considering trading him away to see if any team that wants to scratch the lottery is willing to take over and take it back to scratch the prize.

The inside line composed of Koufos and Love lacks offensive power and is weak in front of the duo.

Love is good at rebounding, but rebounds cannot be converted into points and are just a number.

After three quarters, the Clippers led the Timberwolves by as much as 20 points, basically turning the fourth quarter into garbage time.

During the break between the third and fourth quarters, Mike Dunleavy and the players said: "Later in the fourth quarter, the big guys will play a pass and cut system and hone it. Mark, you are too high Do you know the ball?"

Marc Gasol was very confused and asked: "Pass cut? What pass and cut?"

Dunleavy said: "It's just a high position to support, play an empty cut, and pass the ball inside."

Marc Gasol said: "Why? We all lead by more than 20 points, and we still play like this?"

Dunleavy said to everyone: "Starting today, we will play more pass and cut offenses. This is Mr. Smart's tactical requirement."

Everyone went back to look at the auditorium. Min Congda sat in the back and nodded, while complaining in his heart that Lao Deng still likes to throw blame.

Whenever there is any request, it is always said by "Mr. Smart", for fear of being complained by the players, this old man is very bad.

Moreover, this kind of tactics requires you not to say it during training on weekdays, but to suddenly tell the players in the middle of the game, whoever you change will be confused.

Like the high-post support and pass-cut cooperation, the Clippers have daily drills, but not many, mainly because of the high-low coordination between Randolph and Gasol Jr.

There are even fewer air cuts and counter-runs. When Gordon was there last season, he would perform counter-runs and counter-runs, and his awareness was quite good.

Gordon is not here, Ricky Davis will not, and Baron Davis can't run, so Bledsoe can run.

However, with Bledsoe's height, he might be capped if he ran to the basket instead, and he didn't usually practice this routine.

When the fourth quarter began, the Clippers players with a 20-point lead looked dazed.

Gasol Jr. will support at a high position. As a European insider, he will be trained in this area since he was a child.

Unless there is really no talent in this area, the European insiders more or less have the ability to pass the ball in a high position.

But he alone is useless. Others haven't practiced much, so how can they fight?

Xiaojia can only gather a few people together, and everyone can discuss it briefly.

"Stands 1-4 later, pull away and walk inside."

"What is the 1-4 station?"

"Who is going in?"

"If you don't have a chance to run, how do you fight?"

"Why did Mr. Smart suddenly ask us to call us?"

"He must have his reasons, but how exactly."

"Could it be that he knows that we are spreading gossip about him behind his back, and that he will retaliate against us?"

"It's possible, Mark, you have the worst mouth, so let you dominate the ball."

"How can you blame me! You are all very happy to hear it!"

The camera of the TV station turned to the Clippers players, thinking that they were gathered together to discuss tactics.

In fact, everyone was very confused. Fortunately, they had a lead of more than 20 points. Basically, they could win by playing casually.

On the bench, Min Congda asked Deng Levy: "Mike, why did you suddenly tell the players to play pass and cut during the game? You should inform them in advance, and it would be good to practice the routine."

Dunleavy said: "Because someone also suddenly told me to change tactics during the season, I can only tell the players suddenly during the game that we are going to play a new tactical system."

Old Deng still has a temper. Regardless of whether what Min Congda said or did before was correct, he has his own ideas.

This time Min Congda was really choked back. Lao Deng was right. With the team's momentum going well, changing tactics midway, or going against the version is really speechless.

But the more this happened, the more Min Congda realized that he had made the right decision.

Dunleavy also said: "If the team starts to lose because of this, I will not take the responsibility."

Min Congda hurriedly said: "No! This is absolutely not your responsibility, all responsibility is mine!"

Curry on the side asked inexplicably: "Mr. Smart, why do we have to pass and cut? Our previous tactics were pretty good."

Min Congda patted Curry on the shoulder and said, "Silly boy, I'm here for you. I don't want your off-ball running ability to be wasted."

"But…"

"Don't worry about it, study and study when you have time, make up lessons, don't come back and you can't keep up."

Curry nodded, wondering if Mr. Smart was really for me?Then I owe him too much.

Min Congda just made it up, and he took it seriously.

At this moment, the situation on the field suddenly became very strange.

The Clippers, who had been playing smoothly in the first three quarters and pushed the Timberwolves to the ground, suddenly seemed unable to play.

The high post Gasol hesitated holding the ball, and Ricky Davis in the bottom corner didn't know how to run, and ran into Randolph.

On the weak side, Baron Davis stood there with his hips in a daze, and Bledsoe circled around Gasol, but couldn't catch the ball.

The Timberwolves players also find it very strange, are the Clippers players doing some performance art?

Everyone is doing their own things, just like a person walking forward with his left foot, turning his right foot to the left, swinging his left hand, picking his nose with his right hand, and looking back. What kind of ability is this? ?

For several consecutive rounds, the Clippers didn't even complete a decent offense. It was either a mistake, or Marc Gasol rushed to the basket with the ball.

Fortunately, the Timberwolves' offense was really bad, and they didn't seize the opportunity to launch a wave of super counterattacks, and the point difference between the two sides was too large, and they couldn't catch up in one game.

The Clippers, who scored 91 points at the end of the three quarters, only scored 12 points in the fourth quarter.

In the end, they won the Timberwolves by 103:95 and 8 points.

If the Timberwolves work harder, or take longer, the Clippers might lose.

At the end of the game, Dunleavy shook his head and said to Min Congda: "How about it, Smart, this is the effect of passing and cutting."

Min Congda sighed and said, "It's too late, it's too late!"

"What, you still think it's too late?"

"Yeah, such a good tactic, it would be great if it was used earlier."

Listening to Min Congda's words, Deng Lewei felt more and more unable to understand him.
