Chapter 378(1/4)

In the NBA, if you want to compete for the championship, just stacking up stars will most likely lead to failure.

Most teams will choose to build a system based on the abilities of their star players.

Exploiting strengths and avoiding weaknesses and maximizing the abilities of superstars is what the team should do.

Just like the Cavaliers chose to renew Kevin Love, in the current league, there are still only a few big men who can shoot three-pointers. If LeBron James needs offensive space, the team will give Love a top shot.

salary contract.

LeBron James is good at passing, so use this as a basis to make targeted reinforcements.

The same goes for the Warriors who reached the Western Conference finals last season. Curry's defense is average, so the team needs to try to hide Curry on the defensive end. At the same time, big players also need Curry's services, and the screen on the line cannot be stopped.

.

The Warriors' tactical play is not unusual. In the NBA, there are also a lot of tactics for shooters.

But different eras have different rules. As the league relaxed the movement pick-and-roll, the Warriors successfully took advantage of the rules. After a season of polishing, the tactical system has become more and more effective.

On the night of the 7th, during the game between the Clippers and the Warriors, the fans at the scene began to miss Steve Kerr. Luke Walton had no problem hosting, but once he encountered difficulties, he seemed a little incompetent.

Trailing by 11 points in the first quarter, Luke Walton also broke the regular rotation and let Stephen Curry come on early.

Curry, Barbosa, Ying Guodala, Harrison Barnes, Speights.

During the rotation phase, the Warriors put up one senior and four juniors in an attempt to even the score difference.

For the Clippers, head coach De Nagro also made personnel adjustments tonight, and Ty Lawson finally got the chance to come on as a substitute.

Ty Lawson, Crawford, Evan Turner, David Lee, Mason Plumlee.

After just over a minute of play, head coach Denagro took advantage of Curry's free throw to replace David Lee and replace him with Matt Barnes.

After observing these games, we can see that the height advantage cannot be used. What makes the coaching staff even more troubled is that David Lee's defense is also a bit stretched.

With 8 minutes and 24 seconds left in the second quarter, head coach Denagro directly requested a timeout. The performance of the rotation was completely inconsistent with his expectations.

Evan Turner seemed at a loss on the court without the ball in his hands. He shot 27.1% from three-point range last season. Therefore, when he reached the 3rd position, the Warriors' defense began to shift to the strong side and completely let go.

Evan Turner.

Ty Lawson's desire to score was too strong and he seemed to have forgotten his responsibilities. He just took the ball in a few rounds and played too recklessly.

At 39:31, the Warriors narrowed the point difference to 8 points.

Li Ze could see it clearly from the sidelines. He had already expected such a situation. In the final analysis, it was the data that was to blame!

Once players enter the contract year, they will inevitably pursue statistics, and no one will be in trouble with the United States.

The entire substitute lineup, including the newbie Mason Plumlee, 5 players are all players in contract years, and the data is not enough...

It's useless to talk about leadership at this time. The players all know that the salary cap will increase significantly next season!

Veterans are looking forward to signing a good contract in the offseason to provide for their retirement, role players are also eager for big contracts, and new players also hope to make more money.

How agents promote players to teams ultimately depends on data, and data is a beauty.

Li Ze stood up and fist-bumped with his teammates who were coming off the field. The three-plus-minute game was basically just a random fight.

Ty Lawson and David Lee, who were sitting on the bench, were a little dissatisfied. They had little playing time and were replaced after making mistakes.

This is basically the same treatment as the new players. The two of them are somewhat uncomfortable with the Clippers' coaching staff. Head coach Denagro seems unreasonable and very harsh on the players.

"Kayce, slow down the tempo after coming on the court. Everyone rushes for offensive rebounds. Don't let the opponent easily switch."

Head coach Denagro was obviously knocking Ty Lawson again. The man ran wildly with the Warriors, completely forgetting his instructions.

Li Ze nodded. This is the power of the head coach. The fundamental conflict between the two sides is that Ty Lawson wants to get the starting position, but the coaching staff believes that Lawson is stretched defensively and is not suitable for starting.

Mason Plumlee was secretly happy. If the rotations in the previous games were followed, Li Ze would come on the field with more than 5 minutes left in the second quarter.

With Big Legs present, Plumlee also hopes to get the opportunity to eat cake easily.

Evan Turner was also a little disappointed. He didn't expect that he would be replaced directly. There were many people playing in the Clippers, but he was the second pick in the first round of 2010, so he was treated the same as a newbie.

...

Reggie Bullock was warming up on the sidelines during the break. The hard work paid off and the opportunity came again!

The atmosphere in the Oracle Arena became heated again. As the point difference narrowed to 8 points, Warriors fans cheered up again. In the commentary box, Jeff Van Gundy was also a little surprised when he saw the Clippers' lineup:

"Matt Barnes, Reggie Bullock, Gallinari, Mason Plumlee, and head coach DeNagro seem to be still testing the lineup."

Mark Jackson noticed that the Warriors' main lineup returned, and Ying Guodala continued to be present, setting up five small lineups, and immediately said:

"Stephen Curry seemed to have found his shooting touch, and they had a chance to tie the score in the first half!"

Warriors fans also saw the team's lineup adjustments and the Clippers' baseline serve, and began to shout loudly:

"Defense!Defense!Defense!"

Yingedara saw Li Ze dribbling the ball with his right hand through half the court and immediately stepped forward to interfere. The veteran has fully adapted to his role in the team and currently spends most of the game focusing on defense and organization.

Green noticed Gallinari standing on the left wing outside the three-point line, and immediately felt a little uncomfortable. The Warriors were cleared of the paint area again.

Curry is responsible for guarding Matt Barnes in the right corner, and Clay is responsible for guarding Reggie Bullock in the left corner.

While Green followed Plumlee to the top of the arc, he loudly reminded Harrison-Barnes to pay attention to switching defenses. This point of Gallinari can easily cause misalignment.

There was a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc. Li Ze was protecting the ball while passing by Plumlee's right side. Facing Green who was assisting in defense, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly accelerated.

Green hesitated for a moment, then immediately cooperated with Yingodala in an attempt to complete the double-team.

Just after reaching the position below the right elbow of the free throw line, and the moment when a double team was about to form, Li Ze used his assistant hand to block Yinguedala's harassment, and his right hand holding the ball swung the ball towards the upper left side of the basket with one hand.

The seemingly random pass turned out to be just right. When the ball reached the player, Plumlee grabbed the ball from the air, grabbed the ball with both hands, and slammed the ball into the basket!

"ah!

"

Plumlee shouted excitedly after successfully eating the pie. This was the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time.

Green looked at Li Ze in confusion, and opened his mouth subconsciously, but still couldn't ask, how did the ball get passed?

The big screen in the center of the Oracle Arena also replayed Li Ze's pass just now. During the dribbling process, he suddenly raised his right hand upwards and the ball flew away...

The atmosphere in the arena became noisy again, and commentator Mike Breen only noticed Li Ze's passing action through replay:

"Wonderful assists, 6 of 8, 1 of 2 from beyond the arc, 5 of 5 free throws, 18 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. Kayce has not made a single mistake so far."

"It seems that playing the No. 1 position did not have any impact on him!"

The Warriors played their classic tactic again. After Curry dribbled through half the court, he immediately gave the ball to Kelai on the right wing. After handing over the ball, he immediately followed the free throw line and went from right to left to the left wing.

After receiving the ball, Kelai didn't stop the ball and immediately gave the ball to Green at the top of the key.

At the same time, Harrison Barnes and Ying Guodala cross-covered in the three-second zone, and then Ying Guodala immediately bounced out of the center and completed the hand-to-hand ball with the help of Green's screen.

Clippers veteran Barnes squeezed through the screen immediately, preventing Yingodala from taking an easy shot.

Green naturally realized that the tactic failed, and immediately ran without the ball, came to the left wing, and gave Curry a ball-free screen. Although Li Ze's defense squeezed through in time, Curry still received Yin Guodala's cross pass.

Plumlee's defensive attention was attracted by Curry, and he didn't notice Green's screen and went straight down.

After receiving the ball, Curry did not stop the ball, took two horizontal steps up the line, and immediately sent a through ball to Green who was passing down the line.

Gallinari under the basket instantly changed into a one-on-two defense, blocking Green, but was assisted by the opponent. Harrison Barnes on the lower right side of the basket stole the chicken and succeeded!

"yeah!

"

After completing the assist, Green also shouted and clapped his hands continuously to encourage his teammates.

In one offensive round, all five players on the court passed. In the Oracle Arena, Warriors fans cheered loudly. This offense was so smooth!

The Warriors will play this tactic many times in a game, and the Clippers' coaching staff has naturally analyzed it, but unfortunately, not every player has a clear mind on the court.

Many times, everyone subconsciously focuses on the strongest point on the field, and small mistakes on the defensive end will cause such a situation...

Head coach Denagro on the sidelines shook his head helplessly. Plumlee developed a lot of bad habits in the Nets. This is a matter of experience.

Li Ze patted Plumlee to show encouragement. The Clippers are not afraid of exposing problems in the regular season. As long as they can stabilize their performance, their results this season will be good.

The Warriors' offense was smooth, but the Clippers were constipated in individual possessions.

It was also a pick-and-roll in the middle. After receiving the pass from Li Ze, Plumlee subconsciously released the ball to use it. As a result, Green, who was back on defense, seized the opportunity and successfully blocked the offensive route.

After stopping the ball in the paint, Plumlee was forced to throw the ball to Reggie Bullock in the left corner. The quality of the pass was not high and he almost made a mistake.

Facing Clay's close defense, Bullock could only throw the ball to Gallinari on the left wing. The attack time consumed 14 seconds. Gallinari received the ball and quickly passed it to Li Ze who was in the Logo position.

After the start of the new season, Li Ze has become accustomed to catching the ball like this. The moment he catches the ball, he releases the ball with his right hand. Facing Yin Gedala's defense, he dribbles the ball extremely fast from the hip twice.

His body swayed from side to side in a confusing manner, and then he held the ball in his right hand and accelerated the breakthrough. Li Ze noticed that Yin Guodala was not very close, and it was obvious that the opponent was afraid of being passed by in one step.

When the two of them approached the three-point line, Li Ze suddenly lowered his center of gravity, leaned his body to the left, instantly changed direction with his hips, and then accelerated with all his strength.

The breakthrough without slowing down allowed Yingedala's defense to be directly run over by Li Ze. Green, who was under the basket, cursed in his heart. Seeing that Li Ze had already rushed to the basket, he followed the help of defense and jumped to block the shot.

The timely defense paid off. Li Ze's basket finally hit the basket. Green didn't have time to be happy after landing. Li Ze reacted faster.

Seeing the ball flying in his direction, he took off for the second time. Behind Green and Yingodala, Li Ze grabbed the rebound. Finally, against Green's defense, Li Ze hit the rebound and put the layup in the lower right corner of the basket!
