Chapter 601 Shadow Bishop
Tyronn Lue burst into tears when he saw the fourth note.
What does it mean to be right?This is the trick!
General manager Smart, you are the god in my heart!
For a while, Tai Lun's admiration for Min Congda was like a torrent of water, endless.
He wants to save these four notes, plus the blank note from the first game, as a permanent treasure of his coaching career.
In the fourth quarter, the suspense was completely lost. With a gap of more than 20 points, the Heat were powerless.
Seven or eight minutes before the end of the game, Heat fans at the American Airlines Center began to leave early.
Heat fans are so casual. If I win, I will stay and celebrate. If I lose, I will go home and go to bed early. I don’t want to stay and be angry.
When it was 5 minutes before the end of the game, the two sides began to replace the main players and put on the third team to finish the final period.
However, the Clippers' third team is very strong, and the score gap between the two sides has further widened, reaching 30 points at one point.
The so-called stay on the front line and meet each other in the future. The Clippers did not kill them all. In the end, they let go and beat the Heat in the away game with 121:100 and 21 points. They successfully won the away game and regained the home court advantage.
When the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, Tyronn Lue and Spoelstra shook hands hastily, turned around and ran towards the audience, grabbed Min Congda and gave him a big hug.
"Mr. Smart, my admiration for you is like the water of the Mississippi River, which is endless. When the hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico hits, it is out of control. Your tricks are really..."
Before Tyronn Lue finished speaking, Min Congda interrupted him and said: "Okay, okay, we're only leading 2:1. Think about how to play the next game. I won't write you a note." .”
"Mr. Smart, with your guidance in this game, I feel as if I have been blessed by God. Your note seems to be the gospel of God. It has given me and the Clippers bright guidance! My thanks to you My admiration is like the water of the Mississippi River, endless..."
Min Congda couldn't stand Coach Lu's flattery, so he left him directly, left the stadium, and went back to the hotel.
Tai Lun-Lu admired Min Congda's way of killing one person in ten steps, not staying behind for a thousand miles, and leaving behind his clothes after the incident, hiding his merit and fame deeply, and admired it to the extreme.
The coach he admired most in the past was undoubtedly Phil Jackson. Jackson was at the ceiling of the NBA in terms of record, on-the-spot performance, and understanding of players' psychology.
But Min Congda's four tricks tonight to secure the world, the exhaustive operation still made Tyronn Lu feel deeply shocked. He deserves to be the Clippers, a genius concentration camp, with the highest basketball talent.
Who would have thought that the person with the highest basketball talent on a team would be the general manager—except for the Pacers.
Of course, Min Congda's basketball tactical sensitivity and ability to grasp are indeed surprisingly good. The reason why he can achieve such precise grasp of this game is the sudden rhythm, lineup changes, and frequent strange moves, allowing him to gain a 1:1 home court advantage. The Heat were caught off guard and had no response plan at all.
The second is that the Clippers do have a lot of soldiers and generals. After more than three years of tactical experiments and running-in, the tacit understanding and tactical flexibility between the players have reached a very high level.
Like the Clippers, from the main force to the substitute, a team with such a stable core structure will appear in the early NBA.
In the past ten or 20 years, frequent transactions and free signings have rarely allowed teams to maintain such a stable lineup.
Once the tactical system is used properly, the Clippers can explode with tremendous energy.
The third is that the Clippers played a strong away game, and the entire Clippers team played with a burst of anger.
Min Congda was also furious, and passed his emotions into the tactical play through the note.
His moves are fast, strange, and ruthless. The first two quarters are well prepared, the third quarter is a sudden killer move, and the fourth quarter is full of harvest, showing a master's ability to employ people and control the game.
Spoelstra was careless and prepared according to the situation of the first two games. Wouldn't that mean he was killed without leaving any trace behind?
Who knew that the Clippers were so rambunctious that they could change coaches just before the battle? You fought in the Changping battle, secretly changing for nothing?
A shadow coach like Min Congda made the Heat hard to guard against.
In the fourth game, if the Clippers continue to play like this, they will definitely not win so easily.
After the Heat go back, they will definitely analyze the video carefully and make targeted adjustments to deal with the Clippers' offensive play.
After winning the third game, Min Congda felt very conflicted.
On the one hand, I lost another $3000!Is it easy to make money by yourself?Did money fall from the sky?
Wouldn't it be uncomfortable to win a game without earning a penny and still losing money, and to move one step closer to the championship?
But on the other hand, he was so slandered by the Heat team officials and booed by the US Airways Center. He was very happy to win this game.
In the fourth game, Min Congda definitely won't coach anymore, it's not interesting.
Sipo's response this time was really too bad. In fact, Min Congda still had a back move in the fourth quarter.
He will use a smaller lineup with three guards that is more offensive and more aggressive to complete a desperate kill.
This is Min Congda's style, offense first, making full use of the current Clippers' overflowing offensive talent, and bringing the idea of "space and possession" to the extreme.
This is also the basic tactical idea that Min Congda adhered to when he wrote the thesis that changed the alliance structure, and he will resolutely implement it to the end.
His character is a ferocious beast when it comes to basketball command, because he is really talented. If he is a coach, he is definitely top-notch. Like Ren Tu Baiqi, he has a strong ability to annihilate, and he is like a soldier Han Xin. The more the better.
But as the general manager, he also upholds this style, going all the way to the dark, not turning back until he hits the south wall.
Seeing that the Clippers are leading 2:1, the championship is close at hand, because according to NBA historical data, all teams that win the third game of the finals and lead 2:1 will eventually win the championship.
However, Min Congda still firmly believes that according to the current strategy, he can bankrupt the Clippers.
His honeyed self-confidence is as staggering as his exhaustive strategies on the basketball court.
Perhaps this is one body with two sides, the same thing shows different properties in different environments.
After the Clippers won the third game, especially after their big victory over the Heat, the media began to follow suit and believed that the Clippers would successfully defend their title.
However, most experts still believe that the Clippers will defeat the Heat 4:2, and the two sides should play Tianwangshan. The Heat can survive until the sixth game and go to Los Angeles.
The media in Miami restrained a lot because of the loss, and they no longer provoked Min Congda like they did after the second game.
Before Min Chongda came to Miami, the media in the entire South Florida region almost mocked him with the attitude of "California lunatic landed on the South Coast".
By the end of Game [-], it was already "the Shadow Bishop who won Miami" because the day after the game, ESPN released a report claiming that "Smart Min personally participated in formulating and directing the Clippers' plan for Game [-]." tactics and achieved great success." This report was affirmed by Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue.
The Miami media have called Min Congda a "shadow bishop", which is more or less ironic and has the feeling of provoking discord.
But Tyronn Lu didn't care at all. He was deeply impressed by Min Congda's superb commanding art, and he didn't shy away from it at all. It was Min Congda's strategy that helped him.
"If I can learn a little from Mr. Smart, I think it is enough for me to gain a foothold in the NBA and achieve certain results."
Tyronn Lu, who was interviewed during the training, responded to the reporter's questions very humbly, and did not think that Min Congda's ultra vires command was an insult to him.
"Instead, I consider it an honor and a masterful command."
Tyronn Lue's flattery caused an uproar in the public opinion circle for a while.
Everyone knows that Min Congda has a short coaching history.
Six wins in six games, the only coach with a 100% winning rate in the league, the only coach who got out of class because he won too many games and never lost.
Director Lu's flattery, to be honest, can satisfy Min Congda's vanity, who doesn't like to be praised?
This Tyronn Lue is really good at flattering. He can not only coax players well, have a good relationship with Harden, Curry, Gasol and others, but also make Min Congda happy. Even if a championship is in hand, he can also make Min Congda I felt that it would be no good to continue to use him and replace it with someone else, so I kept it.
Min Congda was happy, and before the start of the fourth game, he gave some pointers.
Sure enough, it is thousands of clothes and ten thousand clothes, but flattery does not wear clothes.
"The fourth game will not be as easy as the third game. Don't use the moves of Gasol and Milicic. Spoelstra will definitely be ready. In the fourth game, we still have to start with the offense, three-pointers Be sure to open! Keep this in mind, the shooting rate and number of three-pointers are the foundation of tactical operation, and the basic guarantee of space and ball possession.”
"You ignored this point in the first and second games. You didn't realize the strategic significance of the three-pointer. You blindly fought with the Heat and fell into the bottom line of tactical fighting. We must be strategically Take the lead, so that there will be the greatest tolerance for mistakes tactically, and give the players room to play to their full potential."
In the 2013 season, although the three-pointer has been paid more and more attention, it has become an extremely important weapon for the respective teams.
But no team coach has raised the three-pointer to a strategic priority like Min Congda.
In the playoffs, everyone will still emphasize the inside and defense. The inertia formed in the past few decades is not so easy to correct.
Min Congda realized this early on. The three-pointer in the new era is the low-post offense in the early years. Its tactical status is fundamental and the basis of strategy.
Min Congda's point gave Tyronn Lue and Mike Malone a tactical backbone and knew how to arrange the fourth game.
Mike Malone also deeply felt the gap between himself and the league's most powerful coaches, and their thinking levels were not on the same level.
Min Congda thinks in terms of strategy and "Tao". He has a very long-term view of the Clippers' construction and is full of foresight. He can be called a pioneer of the times.
He is like Auerbach in the 20s, redefining the way and direction of basketball. Although it has not been fully revealed yet, after this finals, it will definitely have a more profound and widespread impact. .The fourth game between the two sides continued to be played at the American Airlines Center in Miami under the spotlight.
Randolph returns tonight and returns to the starting lineup.
The Heat strive to win this game and bring the two sides back to the same starting line.
And they also have an advantage, that is, after the tie, the crucial fifth game will continue in Miami.
This is also the most criticized aspect of the 2-3-2 format.
When the two sides are evenly matched, the extremely critical match point battle is actually played at the home court of the team with a poor record. This is quite uncomfortable for the team with home court advantage.
Therefore, everyone in the Clippers hopes to win the fourth game directly, get the match point, and take the reassurance into their stomachs earlier.
With the confidence in the third game, the Clippers started the fourth game quite aggressively.
After a game of rest, Randolph became the main firepower, scoring consecutive points in the interior, and the Clippers beat the Heat 7:3 at the beginning, stopping the Heat.
Then the Heat quickly adjusted. This time the Heat's defense was faster than in the previous game. Spoelstra asked Howard to stay in the three-second zone as much as possible, leaving the task of assisting defense and sweeping to Bosh.
Although Bosh's defensive sweeping ability cannot be compared with Garnett's, he has a long neck, outstanding vision, and good physical fitness. Bosh's defensive complementation is still very good, especially in the pick-and-roll, which is also considered to be the best in the league. Pretty good.
At the same time, Spoelstra has also increased Bosh's role on the offensive end, increased his athletic combat, and prevented him from doing unnecessary post-ups in the low post. After all, even Harden can't play much, how can he challenge the Clippers' tough inside?
Move up, make good use of Bosh's range and footsteps, and Randolph presented a confrontational situation.
The Heat once tied the score, and Bosh scored consecutively. In the first quarter, he scored 11 points, which was the best performance in the first quarter of the finals.
At 24:25 in the first quarter of the Clippers, the Heat lagged behind by 1 point. The main reason for the lag was their poor three-point shooting percentage.
库里3中1，哈登2中0，乔治3中1，伦纳德2中0。
In the first quarter, he threw 10 three-pointers and only scored 2.
A lot of three-point shots and a lot of irons made the Clippers fall behind.
But Tyronn Lue firmly asked the players to take decisive action during the break.
If you don't raise your hand in the first half, it will only be more troublesome in the second half and at the critical moment of the fourth quarter.
Tyronn Lue's strategy was correct. In the transition period of the second quarter, Dragic's three-pointer took the lead.
He made a three-pointer with Milicic on the outside and scored two goals in a row, helping the Clippers regain the lead.
The Clippers really have a lot of players who can shoot and play. If the east is not bright, the west is bright, and opening a certain point will often drive other points to open as well. This is the contagiousness of the touch.
In the second half of the second quarter, when the two sides were inextricably fighting, the Clippers suddenly resorted to an extremely risky small lineup: Curry, Dragic, Livingston, Bonner and Harden.
When this small lineup of four guards came out, people were simply shocked. How could they still play like this?
Aren't you afraid of being blown away by the Heat's inside line?
But in fact, with Bonner here, although the Clippers suffer inside, they really won't be blown up.
Bosh and Howard proved in the last game that their offensive power cannot blow up a team.
But the Clippers' outside firepower started. Bonner hit a three-pointer from Curry's pass at 45 degrees in his sweet spot, the Clippers' third three-pointer in the second quarter.
Then, Howard tried to attack the inside, but Bonner fouled and sent Howard to the free throw line.
Howard lived up to expectations and missed two free throws. Harden grabbed the backcourt rebound and made a long pass to the frontcourt.
Then, the Heat hit, and the Clippers quickly crossed the half and launched an attack again.
Harden took possession of the ball, and Livingston, Curry, and Dragic moved to disrupt the defense.
Curry got under the basket, received a pass from Harden, went around, played Nash with continuous fancy dribbles, and suddenly retreated back to the bottom right edge and made a three-pointer!
With this ball, the Clippers opened up the space extremely, and after repeated pulling, a blank area has formed on the right side.
When Curry led Nash to this area with the ball, Curry's "three-pointer" was actually formed.
As Min Congda said, it is the same as the inside behemoths clearing singles in the low post in the past ten years.
Curry's ability to accurately hold the ball and shoot three-pointers has become the cornerstone of the Clippers' offense.
Another three-pointer by the Clippers, in the middle of the second quarter, almost caused the Heat to collapse.
Of course, the Heat's resilience is still strong. After adjustments were made after the timeout, the Heat chased back the points little by little.
The Clippers' three-pointers were unstable. After being accurate for a few minutes, they fell into a slump. Tyronn Lue knew that his tricks were old. When the point difference was approaching, he immediately called a timeout and changed back to the normal lineup.
However, the Clippers have taken the lead, 66:60 at halftime, leading the Heat by 6 points.
Ray Allen and Nash all began to increase their three-pointers, and they faced the Clippers.
Because the Clippers began to use zone defense, combined with one-on-one defense, forcing the Heat and the Clippers to have a three-point battle.
Even if Spoelstra wanted to turn the situation around, it would be very difficult. There was no way, this was just following the opponent's game style.
Just like the first and second games, the Clippers followed the Heat's rhythm.
In the third and fourth games, the Heat began to be led by the nose by the Clippers.
Keep up with the Clippers' rhythm and bite the score. There is still room to turn things around later.
Not following the Clippers' rhythm, insisting on playing in the quagmire, insisting on delaying, insisting on playing inside. I'm sorry, this is not the original Clippers.
With Min Congda's guidance, the Clippers will use a small lineup to get out of the quagmire and force you to attack.
I have four guards, everyone can control and shoot, why are you dragging me in the quagmire?I'm not good at defending, and I'm not high enough, so you might as well attack me, and gradually enter the state of confrontation.
Spoelstra felt Alexander during halftime. Is this what it feels like to play against the "Shadow Bishop"?
He will force you to fight in a way that you are not good at, but he is good at, suppressing you at the strategic level.
Just like a top general, he will lure his opponent into a battlefield he is familiar with, and then force his opponent to engage in a decisive battle.
As for the tactical details, Min Congda didn't bother with command and deployment at all. I have the superior force and the superior battlefield, so it's fine if I don't go up to A?
At the beginning of the second half, in the third quarter, the Heat clung to the score.
Ray Allen, Nash, and Howard really worked hard and showed the strongest skills in their lives.
The Clippers are methodical and continue to attack from outside the three-point line. Dragic, Harden, and Curry took a large number of three-pointers tonight, and their shooting percentage gradually stabilized. The Clippers always beat the Heat in the score.
The Heat's problem with defensive pressure on the perimeter was undoubtedly revealed in this game.
Lewis, Odom, Wade with half-dead knees, 38-year-old Nash and Ray Allen...
With the slow pace, they can fight hard on the defensive end to hold them back.
The pace is fast, and in the third and fourth quarters, I really couldn't keep up.
In the fourth quarter of the decisive battle, the Clippers still led the Heat by 97 points at 89:8.
This score, in the first two games, was not so high after playing the entire game, and now he has scored so many points in the third quarter.
Just when the Heat fans at the American Airlines Center were expecting a Jedi counterattack in the fourth quarter.
In the last quarter of the Clippers, the powerful five appeared again: Harden, Curry, Leonard, George and Davis.
Since there is nothing you can do with this set, I will continue to use it. What do you do?
The Heat really didn't have a good idea. They tried to play small against small, but the result was that they missed a lot of rebounds.
The Clippers played a wave of 10:2 in the fourth quarter, and the point difference was suddenly widened. The situation made the Miami people desperate.
Spoelstra feels that he is a bit out of his depth, how can he fight this?There is really no way to play. The game has completely turned into a Clippers-style battle, and it is difficult to reverse the situation.
The Heat showed their old age at this moment.
And the Clippers' youthful energy is terrifying.
After this game, I'm afraid Miami will be using the "Smart Takes Miami" title.
