Chapter 404: Learn from

?After playing the Rockets, the Clippers finally ended their road trip.
Two losses and one victory in three wars, this result is not satisfactory.
In these three games, the Clippers' offensive efficiency has dropped significantly, and the quick counterattacks of the mercury swells disappeared in the first few games of the season.
Among them are the influence of home and away factors, but also the relationship between opponents' level gap.
Once the Clippers' second-line players arrive on the road, their shooting percentage generally declines.
This is a relatively normal phenomenon.
Rivers began to gradually fix the rotation.
Rivers hopes that the team will be able to bring in 6-foot-9-6-10 inside players to make the team more flexible in both offense and defense.
However, there are no suitable candidates in the free market. It may be that until next year, the Clippers can wait for opportunities to trade or pick up leaks in the buyout market.
Rivers is now more worried about the team's defense.
After being scolded by Li Liang for the game against Rockets, Rivers realized that he couldn't go on like this!
It is not possible to defend this thing by pouring chicken broth. It is necessary to provide effective rotation methods and platoon formation.
After returning to Los Angeles, the Clippers received a day off.
On this day, Rivers took a leave for the team. During the day, he reviewed the game video with several assistant coaches and opened a tactical meeting, but there was not much clue.
Everyone has been in the NBA for many years, and there must be some ideas.
But the key is how to implement it, and effectively implement it in daily games.
Any coach in the NBA, if you let him analyze the team's tactics and tactics, it must be the first thing.
This is the league with the highest basketball level in the world.
But there is always a lot of water between theory and practice, especially in professional leagues with big names.
The salary level of the players is higher than the coach, and much higher.
Therefore, coaches are nominally managers and strategy makers, and their salaries and status are actually lower than players.
Just like a company, the salary and position of senior executives are lower than those of the salesperson below.
If something goes wrong, you will need your executives to back the pot. It is likely that they will be fired immediately.
So, how to be a good coach in the NBA, but the university asked.
Rivers did well in the Celtics, otherwise he won't win the championship and is favored by Paul.
But Li Liang's defensive issues really stumped him. The team was trying to establish a defensive system throughout October, but unfortunately there was no way to completely shape it.
The defensive system is also based on the player's personal defensive ability.
With your five Crawfords on the court, it's no use changing Larry Brown as a defensive coach.
The biggest problem with the Clippers defense is the simplification of player functions.
Paul, Jordan Jr. and Griffin are good defenders in their respective positions.
Jordan, in Rivers' view, has the potential to evolve into the best defensive player.
In a few games, the Clippers' best defender was not Li Liang, but Jordan.
Needless to say, Paul is one of the best defensive point guards in the league.
Although Griffin has short arms but strong body, he is a good low defender.
But the problem is that when they leave their position, when the defense is misplaced, three people's loopholes appear.
Little Jordan is better and has the potential to defend against the small. With more defensive footwork this season, it can become a good large-scale defensive cover.
Griffin's problem is bigger, because of the problems of wingspan and lateral movement, once the defense is changed, Griffin can easily be penetrated.
And Paul's problem is the opposite of Griffin, because of height, Paul is difficult to help defend big players.
He assists in defending big men, often gambling steals. Once the steal fails, either foul or watch the big man directly attack the basket.
This problem has caused the Clippers to have an inherent disadvantage when facing the pick and roll.
At present, the entire league is playing pick and roll, and each team has a good cover for the inside and attacking point guards.
In the Warriors game, Curry's scalp numb after the pick-and-roll direct 3-pointer.
It was just that Paul got it back on the offensive end, but Paul couldn't do it all.
Griffin's lack of defense is even more invisible. It doesn't feel much when watching the game scene. A close look at the detailed statistics and video shows that his basket is almost negligible.
There is a weak sense of delay and control over the inside attack of the small man.
Rivers originally thought that Li Liang was here to solve these problems.
Li Liang could solve part of it, but Li Liang had his own opinion.
When Li Liang was in the Lakers, Xuan Ming was the second player in the backcourt, with a poor defense and a lazy defense.
Then Li Liang wiped the buttocks on the outside, one for wiping, and two for wiping.
The Clippers are different, Paul and Griffin are inside and outside, one inside and one outside.
This is equivalent to wiping the mouth after wiping the buttocks, how do you let him wipe?
No matter how fast he moves laterally, he will not be teleported, he can only focus on one inside and outside.
For example, at the time of Scott Pippen, the Bulls had Jordan and Harper on the outside, so Pippen's defensive defense was very focused on the inside.
In the game, he has a large number of guards, backcourts, blocks, assists, and can be said to be one of the best inside assist defenses.
At the end of his career, Pippen went to the Blazers and also played a big role.
At that time, the Blazers had the strongest striker group in the league, Rashid Wallace, Schramf, Steve Smith, Brian Grant, Bunch Wells, and did not show potential Little O'Neal.
Their center is Sabonis, and the point guard is the flying squirrel Stoudemire, so at that time Pippen's defense on the defensive side was more outboard.
For example, in the 2000 Western Conference, he often helped Stoudemire to defend against Kobe.
If the Clippers are Rashid Wallace at power forward, Li Liang can concentrate on wiping his ass.
If the gunner is 8 cm tall and reaches more than 190, then Li Liang will be able to go to the inside to help defend the short hand.
It's a pity there is no if, Li Liang's doppelganger is lack of skills, this time to test the coach's effort.
If Rivers doesn't want to make the Clippers a champion team, then with the Clippers' current play and lineup, fight together, the championship is promising.
If Rivers wants to make the Clippers a real champion team, then the Boston Celtics level, the problem of the defensive system must be solved.
For this problem, Rivers was frowning all day long on the 10th.
On the evening of the 10th, Rivers decided to go to Staples to watch the ball and relax.
On the night of the 10th, the Lakers played against the Timberwolves.
The Timberwolves played an away game in California, playing the Lakers today, and playing the Clippers tomorrow.
The Lakers are currently in the midst of storms and the record is a pitiful 1 win and 6 losses!
This result is really terrible. No one thought that the Lakers would play so badly after leaving Li Liang and Kobe.
Nash showed his old appearance this season. His shooting percentage, scoring, assists and other data have all dropped to a career low.
The Lakers were proud of their efficient position offensive last season, and in a blink of an eye, their three-point shooting rate can be said to be terrible.
Nick Yang, who added in the summer, can't make up for Li Liang's role in all aspects~EbookFREE.me~Throwing a three-pointer does not allow Li Liang to throw.
The most important thing is that Howard's performance did not meet expectations.
Because of shoulder surgery during the offseason, combined with weight loss, the power of the lower post was greatly reduced.
Howard's offensive technique was originally rough, relying on the body. Once the body is gone, the result can be imagined.
And the Lakers have been immersed in the wonderful atmosphere of winning the 17th championship throughout the summer. Kobe reimbursed and Li Liang ran away, leaving the veterans with no enthusiasm for a season.
The morale of the defending champions reached a trough after the start of the season.
Rivers came to Staples to watch the game not to appreciate the misfortune of the Lakers.
One of them came to see the Timberwolves. The two teams have a game tomorrow.
The second one is to come and meet. There is Li Liang's instruction manual in hand, and he is proficient in defense-Mike Brown.
