Chapter 232 Coaching the Clippers

Without Griffin, the Clippers are like a stabbed tiger. Both offense and defense are greatly reduced, and the threat is still great.However, without Griffin and Ning Caichen, the Clippers became a toothless tiger at the mercy of others, no longer a threat.

The failure of the Clippers is doomed, and no one thinks they are optimistic. The Clippers lost a game at home dramatically, and also lost their core generals. There is almost no suspense about the Warriors' victory in the series.

In the whole world, no one is optimistic about the current Clippers, and the Clippers do not report any hope for the fifth game. The head coach is the same, and so is Ning Caichen.The Warriors are really too strong. With the current lineup of the Clippers, it is undoubtedly a pebble against a stone.

However, recognizing the facts does not mean surrendering. Paul didn't want to surrender like this.

Ning Caichen was very interested in Paul's proposal, but he was afraid that Rivers would not agree.Rivers can accept that Ning Caichen directs the team on the court, but it is done when the public cannot see it. If Ning Caichen is allowed to direct the team off the court, it is a naked grab for the job of the head coach. No one is likely to agree.

Paul also knows that this is not feasible, and letting Ning Caichen coach the team is just his wishful thinking.Now that Ning Caichen no longer directs the team on the court, the Clippers have directly become a third-rate team.

……

Amidst the cheers of the Warriors fans, Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals series officially started. Ning Caichen once again appeared on the bench in formal attire. The last time he attended in formal attire, he had just joined the Clippers team time.

Ning Caichen's handsome attire immediately attracted countless attention. Many media took photos of Ning Caichen who had just arrived at the scene in formal attire.

"Wow!"

The fans at the scene couldn't help but exclaimed after seeing the handsome Ning Caichen on the big screen. In these few games, Ning Caichen appeared in front of everyone in the costume of a player. Now that he has changed into a formal outfit, he can be described as stunning.

So handsome! !

"Oh my god!! What about Wu Yanzu and Peng Yuyan, are they as handsome as my king?"

"Handsome handsome!!!"

Although Ning Caichen was wearing a formal suit, he didn't wear a tie, and left the top two buttons unbuttoned, which was a bit casual and more chic.

Rivers didn't have any hope for tonight's game, and just made a little arrangement and let the players go on the court.

Even if it is a fiasco, it is reasonable.

The Warriors also know what the Clippers are like today, so they haven't fully exerted their strength on offense or defense.Even so, after this quarter of the game, they easily led the Clippers by as much as 13 points.

Paul panted and sat on the bench, and said to Rivers who was just holding the tactical board: "Coach, I don't want to lose the game like this. Let's see if there is any way for us to counterattack the Warriors."

Paul played really aggrieved. After the first quarter, the Warriors didn't care about them at all. The substitute players dared to show off their skills in front of him. How could he ever have such a situation? He couldn't bear it.

Rivers twitched the corner of his mouth after hearing this, he didn't want to lose the game, did he still want to win?It's so naive, all he can pray for now is to thank God if he doesn't lose more than 40 points.

Faced with such a situation, what can Rivers do, he wants to win more than anyone else!
After hearing this, Ning Caichen looked at the depressed Rivers, and saw Paul's gaze. He knew that if he didn't stand up, he would definitely be KO'd by Paul after the game.Ning Caichen stood up, sat down next to Paul over several teammates, and said, "How about, let me try."

When Rivers looked up, his eyes lit up when he saw Ning Caichen: "What can you do?"

Now Rivers doesn't think so much, and he looks forward to whether Ning Caichen can bring victory to the team.

"I have an idea, I can try it, maybe it will have unexpected effects."

Everyone was shocked after hearing Ning Caichen's words. No one questioned Ning Caichen's words. Ning Caichen had never let them down. If they really won tonight's game, they would be completely famous .

Seeing the expectant eyes of his teammates, Ning Caichen really didn't want to hit everyone, cleared his throat and said: "In this way, I believe everyone can feel the state of the Warriors tonight. They didn't give their best at all, um, not at all Put us in your eyes, so we can take the Warriors lightly..."

Ning Caichen did not use the tactical board in Rivers' hands to make arrangements, which was to strengthen his limelight. He only verbally explained the tactical play to his teammates.

The members of the Clippers have long been accustomed to Ning Caichen's method of explaining tactics, and there is no need to draw dots on the tactical board. In many cases, the tactical route on the tactical board will limit everyone's flexible use of tactics.

Ning Caichen's tactical arrangement is very simple. The Warriors want to play a small lineup, and the Clippers can't defend against it. It's better to play your own inside line and use the strength of the whole team to create opportunities for Jordan. .

Ning Caichen arranged three sets of tactics in one breath. The main line of tactics is based on Jordan's inside offense, and the other two tactics are additional tactics based on inside tactics.

Rivers couldn't help being stunned when he heard that Ning Caichen had arranged such a tactic. He didn't fully understand what Ning Caichen meant, but felt a little complicated.

Can this still play like this?Is this going to work?
When he saw the players nodding to understand, Rivers thought he was wrong, can this really be implemented?Rivers doesn't even know, when did these players become so powerful and able to complete such complicated tactics?

Under Rivers' questioning and expectant eyes, Paul led his teammates onto the battlefield again.

If it was the previous Clippers, Ning Caichen really didn't dare to arrange tactics like this, but after being honed by his complicated on-court tactics, his teammates can completely handle such a triple-stacked tactic, even without him on the court. On-the-spot command, but with Paul present, coupled with the contingency of slogans, Ning Caichen didn't worry about their execution at all.

The change in the Clippers' offensive tactics is very obvious. Compared with the first quarter, it can be said to be the embodiment of two styles.

The Warriors still maintained the pace of the first quarter, but the Clippers' offense improved a lot. After half a quarter in the second quarter, they even tied with the Warriors. Cole had to call a timeout and adjust his tactics. .

Ning Caichen did not adjust again. His tactics can completely cope with all the changes in the current Warriors lineup, but the effect will change according to the performance of the players.
As the game continued, the Warriors did restrict the inside of the Clippers, and the effect was obvious. However, under the leadership of Paul, the Clippers quickly played another tactical style. After a few rounds, they lost The score chased back.

After the second quarter, the Clippers trailed the Warriors by 17 points.

In the entire second quarter of the third quarter, the Clippers only lost by 4 points, and this was not done when the Warriors released water. Instead, the Warriors made a tactical adjustment in the middle.

The performance of the Clippers in the fourth quarter was simply amazing. The change in tactical offense was so obvious that it could be seen in almost two rounds, but I did not expect such a good effect.

The Warriors are one of the strongest in the league, whether it is a coach or a player, they are the top players in the league. For the changes of the Clippers, they will be able to react to this change in a little time.Ning Caichen didn't intend to be able to entangle with the Warriors until the end of the game in such a state, so he simply changed his tactics in the third season.

However, Ning Caichen's tactics are good, but he can't stand the flaw of hard power. At the beginning of the third quarter, Durant and others no longer retain their strength, and several people bombard the Clippers' perimeter with all their strength. Was pulled to 4 points.

"Shit!!" Ning Caichen couldn't help but hate it when he saw it. He was too strong. The Clippers couldn't resist the Warriors' offensive at all.

Ning Caichen had to ask Rivers to call a timeout and rearrange his tactics.

Paul began to show his value. Under Ning Caichen's tactics, the Clippers began to make continuous efforts on the inside and outside. The score was caught up to only 14 points.

Tonight is destined to be Paul's night. He contributed 16 assists in the first two quarters, and started the individual singles mode in the second half of the third quarter. The desire to attack has never been stronger.

Paul once again tricked Durant's block and assisted Jordan with a sideways lob for an aerial dunk.

"Oh my god! What kind of state is Paul in? It seems that Paul is at his peak during the Hornets period!!"

Many fans were impressed by Paul's wonderful performance. At the end of the three quarters, Paul scored a large double-double with 21 points and 17 assists, and the good show is still on.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Paul continued to fire with full firepower. Even Ning Caichen was a little surprised when he saw it. He didn't expect Paul to be in such a good state today.

Paul hit a three-pointer again, and Ning Caichen couldn't help standing up from his seat, excited by Paul's crazy performance.

Paul has now abandoned Ning Caichen's tactical play, because his state has reached its peak, and his personal performance can drive the team better.

The Warriors counterattacked quickly, and Curry's unreasonable three-pointer appeared again, and then Durant also faced Crawford with a three-pointer**.

Too strong, the Warriors' counterattack was too sharp, and the Clippers, which had just started, were hit back to their original form by these two three-pointers.

"It's a pity!! No one restrains Durant."

Looking at the current situation, Ning Caichen thought hard, but there was still no good way, even if it was to contain one of the Big Four a little bit.

Another nearly 20-point difference, with 5 minutes left in the game, Rivers was about to give up the game, and the Clippers players were also about to give up.When everyone was about to give up the game, Paul fought back head-on again.

Paul pushed Curry hard to rush inside, won Curry's thugs, and added a penalty for the goal.

Ning Caichen couldn't help standing up from his seat, walked to the sidelines and stood with Rivers, cheering for Paul.

Paul assisted Crawford to make a three-pointer.

Paul forced his way inside and scored again.

Paul shook off Curry and scored a mid-range shot.

The score difference is slowly decreasing: 17 points, 15 points, 12 points...

However, when Paul led the team to bring the score difference to single digits, the Warriors could always come back and pull the score to 15 points.

After repeating this for a full 5 minutes, the score between the two sides has always hovered around 13 points.No matter how hard Paul tried, he couldn't bring the score back to single digits.

In the last 2 minutes and 21 seconds of the game, the Clippers trailed the Warriors by 12 points.

The 12-point difference seems to be not much, but for the current Clippers, it is simply more difficult than reaching the sky.

Paul panted and called a timeout, and looked at Ning Caichen after the game and asked, "How do you play?"

Now Paul can only pin his hopes on Ning Caichen, breaking the deadlock, Ning Caichen is the best at it.

Seeing Paul's out of breath, blue face, Ning Caichen couldn't bear it.Paul has been resting for less than 5 minutes, especially since the second half of the third quarter. Paul has been carrying it all by himself. Up to now, he is very good at the ball. What is supporting him? Can move.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Paul didn't rest for a second, and he saw Paul's tenacity and strength.
