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

Chapter 61 To be fair

Although Min Congda has extraordinary basketball talent that he doesn't even know about, his mentality is no different from that of fans who just watched the game.

One-game discussion, half-time discussion, one-quarter discussion, or even one-goal discussion. If the game doesn't go as well as you want, you will want to scold your mother.

And once the team you support is playing well, you will start cheering, screaming, beating up, and completely destroying you. You will be a god forever!

After shouting and shouting, if you don't play well later, you should still scold. This is the normal mentality of fans.

The only abnormal thing about Min Congda is that as the general manager of the Clippers, he does not support the Clippers but supports the Lakers!

My mood rises and falls with the performance of the Lakers. The Lakers are playing well and I feel happy.

The Lakers started to attack constipation, and when the defense missed someone, he cursed in his mind and criticized him by name.

The person who gets the most scolding is the outside point guard, No. 2 veteran Fisher.

Min Congda didn't even bother to call his name Fisher, so he went straight to Bald No. 2. The defense of this bald head really made Min Congda vomit blood.

That is to say, Baron Davis was in really bad shape tonight and refused to take any open shots, otherwise the old fish would be scolded even more.

In addition to not being able to defend well, Laoyu is also incapable of attacking. He really can't do this or that.

A team's state at the beginning of the season may be completely different from that at the end of the season, and even the lineup may be completely different.

"The Clippers still can't solve Kobe's situation. Not bad, not bad. He deserves to be the first player. He's still very good. It's just that his legs and feet don't feel that agile."

In the second quarter, he failed to seize the two open three-point opportunities. He looked at Min Congda and slapped his thigh. Such a player is still not dismissed!

He scored a three-pointer in the first quarter, and then started to have diarrhea in the second quarter. If you don't get in with Davis, I won't get in either. How about just reciprocating courtesy?

At the end of the second quarter, his three singles with the ball helped the Lakers maintain the score.

Before Randolph even received the ball, Artest began to circle forward to interfere with Randolph's receiving the ball, using fierce confrontation to occupy Randolph's space.

In 2009, Kobe's body, technology, and psychology reached a peak state.

He saw an opportunity and moved into the three-second zone like a snake, attracting double-teams and passing the ball to Bynum. Bynum caught the ball and dunked with both hands!

But Artest did not stop, and still went forward, destroying Davis' pass, and the Clippers still had the ball.

At 57:50, in the middle of the third quarter, the Lakers led by 7 points.

During the halftime break, Min Congda originally wanted to visit the team's locker room, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. He was in a bad mood and just sat in his seat and ate popcorn.

The three-point shots in the two counterattacks were good and helped the Lakers meet their urgent needs.

"Beautiful!" Min Congda couldn't help shouting.

The Lakers handed the ball to Kobe. Kobe held the ball near the top of the arc, receiving little pressure and coming and going freely.

In the second half, an important change the Lakers made on the defensive end was to let Artest guard Randolph.

Of course, if he were with the Clippers, Min Congda would value him very much and would not let him go. Point guards like this are rare.

When Kobe saw Curry on the stage, he pointed his finger and said, "Finally, I've waited for you. I thought the coach wouldn't let you go!"

Seeing the Lakers taking the lead, Min Congda felt comfortable and settled down.

The Lakers' real anchor is still Kobe.

The second person to be slandered by Min Congda was Odom. First of all, he had to defend. In the first half, he was beaten by Randolph!

Of course, he also analyzed the Clippers' current predicament and thought of a solution:

When he was young he was very nimble.

He asked Min Congda to be merciful and scold him less.

Then the third quarter was messy, maintaining the point difference, and the fourth quarter entered garbage time, resulting in a perfect loss.

Recently, Apple's stock has risen again and keeps rising. If you buy it early, the price will be cheaper and you can make more money.

"Very dissatisfied! This performance... did not meet my expectations!"

Stern is well-informed. The NBA season is very long, lasting more than half a year. The team has to go through many problems and face various changes.

"Davis is really not doing well. Let's continue this state. Don't score goals. Let's go to ONLY to explore together tonight."

Min Congda actually thought that Kobe's legs and feet were not that agile... In fact, he was right.

After several rounds, it was difficult for Randolph to catch the ball, and the Clippers' offense came to a standstill. They could only look for Kaman or Gordon to attack.

Curry just smiled and did not continue to bicker with Kobe. Too much bickering would be boring.

As for the other Lakers players, their performance was quite satisfactory.

If it weren't for the fact that the Lakers' other outside touches were still poor and they missed two three-point opportunities, the Lakers would have widened the point difference to double digits.

Otherwise, the Clippers might have taken the lead in the first half.

David Stern saw that Min Congda was watching the ball very seriously, mumbling something from time to time, and his expression fluctuated depending on the situation on the field, and thought that this guy was quite devoted to watching the ball.

Min Congda's expectation is that the Clippers will collapse at halftime and fall behind the Lakers by 15 to 20 points.

Kobe's training has been intermittent this summer, and his physical condition is only more than 80% of last season.

In basketball games in the 1910s, a 7-point lead was still very stable.

When Stern heard this, he was only two points behind the defending champion at halftime. Is this not up to expectations?

"It seems that Smart has high expectations for the team. I think the Clippers' performance in the first half was really good. But the season has just begun, and there is a long way to go."

"Smart, what do you think of the Clippers' performance?" Stern asked.

He can defend on the outside, but he doesn't suffer on the inside either. He is strong, has aggressive moves, and has a strong sense of defense.

After holding his breath and completing what he had always wanted to accomplish, the 32-year-old's body inevitably declined.

In positional battles and slow-paced games, scoring will be difficult.

The Clippers' offensive rhythm was gradually destroyed. Davis tried to break through the inside with the ball, but failed to hit the throw.

This is the level of Mbenga and his ilk, so we can't force it.

Curry made his second appearance, and this time he could finally compete with Kobe.

And Kobe continued to exploit the weakness of the Clippers' third position, wandering near the free throw line, threading the needle and tearing apart the Clippers' already weak defense at will.

Judging from the state of both sides in this game, it is difficult for the score to exceed 100 points.

Moreover, Odom played loosely in the game and had no fighting spirit.

He passes the ball casually and his shooting is not very stable. He likes to play quick counterattacks.

At the beginning of the second half, the game continued. Baron Davis organized the offense, still starting from Randolph's point.

"Randolph has mid-range ability. He should be pulled out. Don't get into a physical fight inside. It's meaningless. The Clippers' offensive space is too small. They have to be fully stretched out. They are huddled together. How can they be like this with the Lakers?

Playing against a high inside team?”

The two were almost wrestling under the basket. They were both tough players who refused to accept the other. They almost fell down as soon as the game started, and the referee gave Artest a foul.

OK, I got the US$2,000, part of it was kept as pocket money, and part of it was used to buy Apple stocks.

At this time, the Clippers made substitutions, with Mike Dunleavy replacing Stephen Curry and Baron Davis, who was in poor condition.

In the first three quarters, his skills were still unparalleled, but his body's flexibility and explosive power seemed to be declining, and his body felt slightly sluggish.

"This round is good! It's easy to adjust. Let Artest guard Randolph and prevent him from catching the ball. Don't let him easily attack in the low post. It's a good idea."

Randolph shot 7 of 10 in the half and scored 17 points. He was getting everything he wanted from the low post, and Odom couldn't stop him at all.

Ada and Stern both turned to look at him. Who are you from? How do you support the Lakers?

Min Congda coughed dryly and said: "Well... I appreciate this attack from the perspective of a neutral fan. To be fair, this goal is indeed beautiful."

As the game continued, Artest did have a good defense. The former best defensive player could not block it.

When Dell Curry saw his son on the sidelines, he took a deep breath and prayed in his heart: "Kobe, please be more lenient with my son. Don't hurt his self-confidence. Be more tolerant."

It can only be said that, for all the parents in the world, it was not easy for Curry’s father because he had played against Kobe.

At that time, the old Curry was late in his career, and Kobe was in his early 20s when he was young and promising. The old Curry knew how focused and ferocious this kid was in playing, and if he didn't deal with it well, he would be destroyed.

Curry showed no fear, and he was facing Lao Yu now. He thought to himself: "You will regret not letting Kobe guard me."
