Chapter 409: Ghost idea

The Clippers still suppressed the Timberwolves in the final quarter of the fourth quarter, relying on the star's personal ability.
Paul hit two middle distances in a row at a critical moment. Both of these middle distances were covered by Li Liang to cover him.
When Li Liang made a pick-and-roll, whether he withdrew or cut in, the threat was quite big.
This gave Paul more ample space to shoot, and Paul's two middle distances stabilized the situation.
Subsequently, the Timberwolves made mistakes at a critical moment, Li Liang misplaced to prevent Kevin Love, a [death winding] cut off Love's ball.
This mistake was fatal and Love had to foul Li Liang and sent Li Liang to the free throw line.
On the free throw line, that's sending points. Li Liang made two free throws, pulling the difference between the two sides again.
Subsequently, Martin made a three-pointer in the counterattack.
But this three-pointer came a little late.
After that, Griffin missed the layup and gave the Timberwolves another chance to fight back.
In this case, Li Liang fouled the counterattack Brewer and sent Brewer to the free throw line.
Rivers seemed to be dissatisfied with this, and walked to the side and said to Li Liang: "Why foul, this is to give them points."
However, Li Liang said: "Two points are always better than three points. We are even more ahead. By then, both sides will make free throws. They can't chase points. Trust me."
Rivers felt a little sense when he heard it.
At this time, Brewer's first penalty missed.
So Rivers replaced Jordan Jr. with Crawford.
On the Clippers, Paul, Li Liang, Crawford, Griffin and Butler added a good free throw percentage.
Among them, Paul, Li Liang and Crawford are amazing players with free throws.
This is on the court, and anyone who makes a free throw is enough to reassure Rivers.
Brewer hit the second penalty and they only recovered one point.
The time is running out and the Timberwolves have to foul.
As a result, he committed a crime against Li Liang.
Li Liang is tall, stable in receiving the ball and making free throws.
People did this when they were in college, but they couldn't do it well.
Another two free throws won't give the Timberwolves a chance.
The time was running out. The Timberwolves called for a timeout and wanted to arrange a tactic.
As a result, as soon as the outside catched the ball, the tactics ran a few times and the ball reached Brewer. Li Liang then fouled again.
Adelman is speechless, who is this Nima?
He has been coaching the NBA for more than 20 years, and he is a veteran NBA coach. He has never seen such a person.
At the last moment the leading side fouls the backward side?
What tactics does this TM have?
As a result, Brewer hit the free throw line, and made another two free throws!
After the calf, this is a cat.
The fouls are all for time, it is best to make three points, and then two points.
You have a point, and the difference is getting bigger and bigger!
The Timberwolves' players still carried out the foul tactics faithfully, but this time they committed a foul on Paul.
Like Paul, the difference between two free throws was further widened.
The Clippers are no longer fouled, no need.
As Carrefour missed a three-pointer from the perimeter, the Timberwolves gave up resistance and spent the last minute.
In the end, the Clippers defeated the Timberwolves at home with an 8-point advantage at 110:102 at home and scored two straight victories.
As soon as the game was over, Paul stepped forward and asked Li Liang, "Where are your tactics?"
Brother Cannon is also a tactical darling. Various offenses, defenses, and key ball tactics are kept in mind and can be turned out at any time.
But this is the first time this leader has committed a foul tactic.
Li Liangdao: "I figured it out at the university, it works."
Li Liang was at the University of Kentucky at the time. As the end of the bench, the foul player at the critical moment of the foul tactics, he was just thinking about it there.
He and Calipari said that some games have also been tried, not every time.
Because there is a premise that his own free throws must be very stable.
If one or two free throws are particularly bad, like the Lakers Howard, this tactic is best not to use.
The Clippers are different. Except for Jordan, who didn't make free throws, everyone else made very good free throws.
Anyway, replace Jordan, or not let him catch the ball, this trick really works.
Paul nodded, "Not bad, you can be a coach."
Li Liang also agreed, "I also think that the boss is so rich, I should be hired as a coach, and it would be nice if I added processing funds..."
The two laughed and left the locker room.
After Rivers and Adelman shook hands, they silently recorded the tactics of this critical moment in their small books.
It seems that as Mike Brown said, Bruce Lee is indeed a treasure trove.
...
The Clippers defeated the Timberwolves at home without fear.
However, the team's defensive problems were indeed not solved, and in the end it was hard to eat by the strength of the players.
The team's potential has not been at its best.
After the game on the 11th, the team received a day's rest.
On this day, Mike Brown completed the signing of the Clippers and officially became the Clippers' assistant coach.
Because Brown was fired by the Lakers, the contract is still within the validity period, and the four-year contract has two years left.
So the Lakers need to pay Brown a severance payment, which is probably more than 9 million US dollars.
This time, they signed a contract with the Clippers, and the negotiation period was one year.
Because the Clippers' assistant coaches are really a bit much, and they added another one out of thin air, in fact, just for Li Liang.
Mike Brown had originally taken the Lakers' salary and got another copy in the Clippers. He didn't care.
Although the deadline is only one year, Ballmer is very generous, and his annual salary is quite expensive.
Brown readily agreed to come down.
He thought that although the contract period was only one year, he had a contract with the Lakers and he didn’t have to worry about money for the time being.
And even if he leaves the Clippers next year, there are still plenty of opportunities waiting for him.
At his level, employment is no longer a problem.
In addition to these, there is an important question. He is not clear whether Li Liang will make a choice next year.
Li Liang signed a two-year contract with no options. It stands to reason that he will definitely play in the Clippers for two years.
But Li Liang, who has not played cards according to common sense, is really hard to find out.
Brown thought, if this year's cooperation is happily, wouldn't it be enough to follow Li Liang's thighs?
Such thoughts came out, and Brown himself felt that he had no chance.
The best coach, Brown did it today thanks to his superhuman courage and hard work.
How did you become a coach for the Lakers for a season and it becomes like this now?
Brown couldn't figure it out for himself, but for him, sign the contract first.
After signing the contract, at noon and afternoon, Brown participated in the team training.
Putting on the Clippers sportswear, Brown seemed a lot more energetic.
Before training, Rivers convened a meeting with the coaching staff to discuss the team's defense system construction for the next period of time.
In response to the situation of the last game, Brown looked back at the team's game video this season and gave a few suggestions.
"First, Caron Butler is going to withdraw from the starting position. My suggestion is to go to Barnes and let Barnes play shooting guard;
Second, the rotation needs to be changed. Bruce Lee cannot play the second team for too long. Although the effect is good, it is a waste. My suggestion is to let Griffin lead the second team more, let him rest in the middle of the first and third quarters, play at the end, play a single quarter, start with a double quarter;
Third, Bruce Lee should appear more in the fourth position, and even I had a bold idea last season to let Bruce Lee play in the fifth position. However, this requires more verification, he can play a greater role in the fourth and fifth positions.
Fourth, it's about the focus of defense..."
Brown put forward several opinions at once, the first three of which are mainly aimed at solving some of the difficulties in the current Clippers defense system.
Behind are Brown's views on the team's defensive strategy and league defensive trends.
The first three are very maneuverable, and the last few are very conceptual.
As soon as these suggestions came out, EbookFREE.me~ made Rivers feel that Mike Brown was really in stock.
His defensive thinking and strategy are very different from the traditional hard-line defensive coaches such as Tom Thibodeau.
Of course, Brown was also the representative of the Eastern Hardcore defensive coach in the Cavaliers. I don’t know why his thinking started to change.
Rivers asked this question, Brown said: "Always thinking, always discussing, you know, Bruce likes to discuss tactical issues on the bench. Some of his ideas are often very interesting, very advanced, and enlightening."
Rivers thought of the "penalty tactics" Li Liang came up with in the last game. He thought Brown's statement made sense.
While Terenlue on the side listened for a while, feeling that he had learned a lot.
For a time, some ghostly thoughts came to mind.
One day, he will also be a real head coach.
