NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 221 vs. Eagles

As the game entered garbage time, both sides replaced substitutes and water cooler players.

However, for the Clippers, playing time is still relatively embarrassing, even if it is garbage time.

Because there are too many rookies, and these rookies are all rookies who can really perform.

Among the players on the Clippers court at this time, there are Kyle Anderson, Jerami Grant, Clint Capela, Torrey Craig, and Spencer Dinwiddie.

There simply aren’t those make-up water-cooler minutes.

"This lineup has all reached the peak of their careers and can reach the play-off level."

Even this second lineup mixed with the third lineup, Su Chen felt that it was too strong, but he had not yet redeemed his talents.

The core ball-handler is Dinwiddie. Nets Dinwiddie has led civilian teams to the playoffs, and Grant is barely qualified as the second-in-command.

Capela is the core inside, Anderson is the transition point organizer, and Craig can even run a little three-point tactics in standard 3D.

It's just that the Clippers need to produce results this year. It's not that they don't train rookies, but they train appropriately.

So their playing time is quite valuable.

But even though it was just garbage time, Su Chen could clearly feel that they seemed to be much better than the original rookies in their first year.

It seems that this should be the role of [Summer Training Camp].

The same is true for the improvement of S-level tactical glasses. If the S-level building [Summer Training Camp] is ineffective, then wouldn’t this rating be a joke?
beep.
As the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, the Clippers won their first win of the season.

Clippers 109:92 Trail Blazers.

Fans who paid attention to this game also found it very enjoyable.

The outstanding performance of Jokic, the second-round pick, made the Clippers fans at Staples Center very excited tonight. This is a treasure.

In the whole game, Jokic scored 17 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists.

In his first game, he got a near-triple-double.
And everyone who has watched the game knows that Jokic basically had no ball rights in the first half, and Lillard was basically the one playing.

The ball was only obtained in the second half. Although Jokic's data cannot be said to be obtained in the half, after all, he occasionally played some data in the first half.

But most of the time was taken in the second half, which gave fans a lot to think about. What data would Jokic have if he played the whole game?
Of course, in fact, it will not be as exaggerated as a steady doubling.

Physical fitness, touch, and opponent strategy are all factors that determine whether a player can double his data. Players often score 20 points in the half, but only score about 25 points in the whole game.

Or score 15 points in the first quarter, and then score 15 points in the whole game.

In any case, Jokic was able to get this data when he only had the ball in the second half, and his talent has already appeared.

Some people on the Clippers were praised, while others were scolded.

Lillard was suppressed by Paul in the first half of this game.

In this game between Lillard and Paul, the Trail Blazers lost, but Paul did not lose.

Paul won individual games, but not as a team.

It is conceivable that the deal between Lillard and Paul will be made a big fuss after the game.

After Terry Stotts shook hands with Suchen, he left the game helplessly.

Antetokounmpo last season, Jokic this season, Suchen can always find some treasures.

And he always loses to Su Chen's treasures.

"If you are so good at drafting, why don't you become a coach or a manager and become a professional scout."

Terry Stotts complained in his mind.

But it was just a complaint. He also knew that Su Chen not only relied on his drafting skills but also his coaching skills.

It can be said that Su Chen is almost all-round except for player trading.

"He at least won't trade."

Terry Stotts thought about this too.

And he is also the beneficiary of Su Chen's inability to trade.

Although Lillard is his former disciple, after comparing goods, it can be seen that Paul is much stronger than Lillard.

This game is a reflection of that.

If Paul paired up with Jokic, they might not be able to play in the first half. After all, Lillard was directly suppressed by Paul in the first half.

The Clippers reversed course and won the victory, which was achieved by giving Dnp the advantage.

Thinking of this, Terry Stotts felt a little more balanced.

Although this game was lost, Paul and his teammates haven't really gotten along yet. It's hard to say who will win and who loses in a battle with the Clippers once Paul and the team get along.

Post-match press conference.

Compared with the Timberwolves last season, the attention of the Clippers is obviously much greater, and there are even many more media people interviewed after the game.

This is not the first time that Su Chen has been the general manager. At this time, he is still quite tactful.

Most of the problems can be dealt with directly by talking to the car.

"Coach Su Chen, your draft selection was very good. When you drafted Jokic, you probably already knew that he had the ability he has now."

A reporter said to Su Chen during the interview.

"Thank you. I appreciate the compliment."

Su Chen nodded and responded to him with a smile.

"But knowing that Jokic has such ability, without the deal between Paul and Lillard, wouldn't it be better for newcomer Jokic to cooperate with Paul?"

Su Chen originally thought that this reporter just wanted to praise him briefly, but the good guy turned out to be waiting for him here.

If this question is not answered well, it can easily arouse conflicts within the team.

The media are happiest when they have topics and traffic. He doesn't care if it brings much trouble to others.

"Lillard is the player I need, yes, he is the ideal championship piece."

"Of course Paul is also a very good player, but he is not the championship puzzle piece I need. Lillard just hasn't adapted to this new system yet and he will get used to it."

Regarding this issue, Su Chen didn't say anything else.

His words showed domineering power.

Originally, no reporter had asked Su Chen about his season goals, but now Su Chen took the initiative to talk about it.

Lillard is the championship piece he wants. Doesn't that mean he is aiming for the championship this season?

Su Chen did not hesitate in his answer because he wanted the players to feel that he was on their side without hesitation.

Although Lillard is a little disobedient now, coupled with Lillard's poor performance, this was a good opportunity to suppress Lillard.

If it were Rivers, the original coach of the Clippers, he might do that.

But Su Chen is not a Gongdou type coach. His dissatisfaction with Lillard is also a matter of internal adjustment within the team. He will still stand by the players in front of the outside world.

Besides, he doesn’t need to suppress players in press conferences to put pressure on management.

He is the coach and the management. If Lillard really refuses to change, he can make the decision to trade Lillard himself.

But for Lillard, Su Chen must consider using it well first, and then consider trading.

Among the point guards who can master the pick-and-roll three-pointer with the ball, in addition to Curry, Lillard is currently in service.

Maybe Lillard still has some shortcomings, but when it comes to adapting to Jokic, this is really the most suitable among the point guards who can be traded.Jokic's original partner Murray has not yet entered the league, Curry cannot be traded, and Paul's original ability to shoot three-pointers with the ball is unstable.

After saying these words, Su Chen directly stated that the interview was over.

It looks very domineering.

As for how to write news, it is the business of these reporters.

The next day.

"The next Giannis?"Jokic's 17+8+10 halftime highlights. 》

"S-level drafting, C-level trading, what kind of manager is Su Chen?" 》

"Paul suppressed Lillard throughout the game, and Su Chen personally traded for Jokic's best partner. 》

In the Clippers' first game, a lot of discussion centered on three players.

Jokic, Paul, Lillard.

Due to Lillard's suppressed performance by Paul, this gives people reason to believe that the Clippers would be too strong if Paul were still on the team.

After all, Jokic only had the right to take action in the second half, and he was paired with Clarkson, the same second-round pick as him, to complete the reversal.

Clarkson's efficiency is not high, and even with Jokic's exquisite passing, many balls are not turned into assists.

After all, Clarkson is a genuine first-year rookie, but he cannot compare to Jokic.

The current Jokic has undergone accelerated training in the [Summer Training Camp] and has [Fixed Ability Value] skills. In fact, Jokic is at least equivalent to himself in the third grade.

Moreover, Su Chen formulated a special training plan for Jokic in advance, which saved Jokic from many detours.

For example, Jokic's current hardware belongs to his third-year rookie, but the software is already far ahead of his third-year rookie.

Of course, Su Chen's remarks after the game and Su Chen himself also aroused a lot of discussion.

[Championship in advance?Suchen said Lillard is a champion puzzle piece. 】

[Lillard may become the lower limit of this Clippers. 】

[Suppressed by Paul, can Lillard integrate into Suchen's system? 】

Su Chen's blunt remarks about competing for the championship were naturally reported.

Although Su Chen's original words were just that Lillard was the champion puzzle piece, the media that needed traffic didn't care so much and just said that Su Chen loaned the championship.

Of course, whether this team has the strength of a championship team still depends on whether Jokic is really capable or just eating dumplings.

For a rookie, one good game is nothing.

Speaking of a rookie who played well in his debut, I still have to say McAway, that is, Michael Carter-Williams.

McAwee faced the defending champion Heat's Big Three in his career debut. That game was his first show, and all three members of James Weibo's Big Three played.

In that game, McAway directly scored 22 points, 12 assists, 9 steals and 7 rebounds.

This is even more exaggerated than Jokic's data.

But as we all know later, he gradually became a role player, and then he had no playing time and could not play.

McAway's nickname is also called The Essence of Humanity's First Show.

It's also that a certain game hasn't launched its servers that year. Otherwise, in that season, wouldn't this card be sold to millions per card?
Atlanta.

After the game against the Trail Blazers, the Clippers rushed to Atlanta without stopping.

The opponents in this game are still quite strong.

Su Chen knows that the Hawks are truly first in the Eastern Conference regular season this season and can be called a model of team basketball.

At first, the Hawks were called the Eastern Spurs, but as the Hawks' record surpassed the Spurs, the Spurs became the Eastern Hawks.

And this season, five of the Hawks' starters were selected as the best players in January.

However, many people remember incorrectly, thinking that all members of the Hawks were selected for the All-Star Game. In fact, Carroll, who was in the starting lineup, did not make the All-Star Game.

He has never had the All-Star honor in his career honors column.

His teammates were all selected to the All-Stars.

However, team basketball still lacked a star to solve the problem. In the Eastern Conference finals, they were directly swept by the Cavaliers led by James.

Moreover, this season's Cavaliers Love has been replaced by Lopez, who is stronger than the old Cavaliers. The Hawks may not be able to make any splash.

But it is undeniable that the Hawks are still strong in the regular season.

The power of team basketball is very useful in the regular season.

Although it is simple and efficient for the stars to solve problems, the stars are tired and cannot work hard in the regular season. They have to save their energy for the playoffs.

So many times, team basketball is very useful during the regular season.

It's just that in the playoffs, it's not that useful.

Su Chen did not underestimate the enemy and was still very serious about the eagle.

The team is not yet strong enough to play some games and rest players.

What the Clippers need most is game experience.

And in order to train more rookies, we need to win more games at the beginning so that we can train them more calmly.

Soon, the game began.

Suchen and Budenholzer stepped forward and shook hands.

Speaking of which, Su Chen also used some tactics that Budenholzer was good at, so it was quite fateful.

After all, they are both coached by Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Budenholzer also won a championship with Giannis Antetokounmpo, so of course they have to learn from it.

Suchen also gave Budenholzer a friendly smile.

This made Budenholzer a little confused. They were not familiar with each other, so why would Su Chen be happy with him?
However, although the opponent is young, after all, he is already a coach with two championships in his hands, and he is still in control of his team.

Budenholzer thought it was better to be polite, so he smiled and nodded in response to Suchen.

Players from both sides play.

Hawks starting lineup: Al Horford (C), Paul Millsap (PF), DeMarre Carroll (SF), Kyle Korver (SG), Jeff Teague (PG)

Clippers starting lineup: Nikola Jokic (C), Nicolas Batum (PF), Paul George (SF), Reggie Jackson (SG), Damian Lillard (PG)

The Clippers' starting lineup still continued the starting lineup from the previous game.

Although Morris and Jokic cooperate well, Suchen still wants to give Reggie some opportunities.

Don't think that Reggie is a ball-handling player, like a bunch of ball-handling players, who has the problem of not having enough balls.

With Jokic here, there are never too many offensive points on the field.

In addition to fixed-point shooting without the ball, there are also fixed-point breakthroughs and regular inside cuts.

Fixed-point breakthroughs require players to have the ability to hold the ball.

George is very good at this. He can also play Reggie who is holding the ball, and he can also complete the task of fixed-point breakthrough.

Batum's breakthrough ability is still a little worse than the two of them. He is more likely to take on the role of cutting inside without the ball and being the team's setter, so Reggie is good.
