Chapter 317: Want you to control

? The Thunder coach Brooks did his best in the Western Conference finals last season, thinking of various ways to steal a victory at Staples first, and later found that he could not beat.
This point of Li Liang is a pain that he cannot solve.
When the Clippers arrived, he found that Li Liang's arsenal seemed to be updated again.
Will the center break the ball?
Will the jumper stop?
Will you cut the basket and commit a foul?
For such a fast-growing player, in addition to "ball monster", Brooks could not think of other words to describe him.
At halftime, Brooks and his coaching staff discussed how to deal with the Clippers' offense.
For the Thunder, although they have the king-bombing combination, which is currently the most explosive NBA scoring combination, but the Thunder is essentially a defensive team.
They have grown from ordinary teams step by step to strong championship teams, relying on the growth of young people and team defense.
Therefore, no matter how Brooks is criticized by the outside world, it is tactically inadequate. His rookie training and defensive training are one-on-one.
Just thinking of Harden being traded away, Brooks still feels a pity.
And that Bruce Lee...
The coaching staff discussed for a while, and decided to let Durant mark Li Liang. Ibaka's defensive energy can no longer be wasted.
Durant nodded at Brusk's instructions.
In the Thunder, Durant is well-deserved number one star, the team's MVP.
But you have to say that he is the boss of the team, always feel that there is something missing.
He didn't talk much in the locker room. The coach made defensive tactics. Durant sounded like a defensive engineer.
In the second quarter, the Clippers did not use Li Liang to stare at Durant, but instead used Barnes.
Li Liang is more involved in offense and overall defense.
Durant did not know who he was an engineer compared to Li Liang.
On the other side in the Clippers, Rivers halftime break is a boast to the players!
Anyway, Gentry, Brown and others are responsible for the tactics.
Rivers is played from the players all the way, and is also a point guard. As a professional player, he knows that many times the game is playing, relying on the players free play and on-the-spot contingency, tactics just give a framework.
A good tactical framework will allow players to play more freely, even at a super level.
Poor tactical framework will make players unable to play all levels.
After Brown is here, the adjustment is still satisfactory.
Li Liang was drinking water in the locker room, listening to Rivers bragging with a blank expression, thinking that I could be the head coach in another two years.
But just to convince the players, what's so difficult?
Yes, there is nothing difficult when you turn on the hair dryer.
Jordan came and scolded you.
In the second half of the game, the Thunder led the attack.
Durant received the ball from the outside, and currently Li Liang is one to one against Durant.
Durant scored a goal for Westbrook, who faced Paul, who was short of his own half, and took the ball and drew it directly.
Westbrook's shooting choice is hard to say.
Anyway, if you are allowed to call you dad, if you are not allowed, you want to be called dad.
Westbrook is not allowed tonight because Paul's defense is quite in place.
Paul's mission on the defensive end tonight is very clear, is to pay Westbrook one by one, the other defensive is not to worry about him.
In the past, Paul was the smallest and the most worried.
Now that someone comes out to share, he can concentrate on doing his own thing.
The Clippers counterattacked, and Jordan continued to pick and roll the top of the arc. The Thunder chose to hold the ball.
Paul passed the ball to the young Jordan, who faced the Thunder players from the inside. The Jordan caught the ball and showed his footsteps, and then was blown away...
The Thunder have done a very successful defense this time, and the players have a good tacit understanding of the rotation.
Then, Durant dribbled to the left to pass the ball to Adams who was keeping up. Adams layup caused Griffin's foul.
"Don't raise your hand, don't reach out, will it work? Is it useful for you to reach out? Can you cover it? Top and bottom, top and bottom!"
Griffin's foul annoyed Li Liang. After Adams was taught to be a man in the first quarter, the young man adapted quickly.
The follow-up was very good, and he dared to take the shot and made two free throws on the free throw line.
Turning back to the Clippers to attack, Paul himself took the ball to accelerate to the bottom line, then hit a jumper with a bottom line jumper.
This ball defense is Westbrook's problem.
He saw on the line that Paul didn't go up to defend with the ball, but stretched his finger and asked Durant to defend.
Where Durant could keep up with Paul's footsteps, Paul was cut into the bottom line and the defense inside was disrupted.
Until the goal, Westbrook stood on the top of the arc without moving.
For this defense, a team with Li Liang must be sprayed, and in the Thunder, Durant just gave Westbrook a helpless glance, and finally went to the bottom line to serve him.
The Thunder missed the next two offenses, and Durant missed a difficult shot under Li Liang's defense.
But the Clippers rely on Paul's long pass, quickly scored two points, and continued to widen the gap.
Brooks called for a short timeout. He wanted to emphasize the defense.
The Thunder's position defense is okay, but the Clippers' quick counterattack is really bad.
One of the reasons is that Westbrook's withdrawal is not fast enough.
Defender, this "Guard" means to defend the defense.
As the outermost player in the offense, when the defender switches between offense and defense, he should form the first line of defense for the team's defense, quickly retreat, hinder the opponent's advancement, and give the center and forward back time to defend.
This is why the backcourt player was called Guard when the position on the court was determined and named early.
With the development of basketball, the requirements of the five people on the court are all offensive and defensive, but the role of the guard in the transformation of offense and defense has not changed.
Westbrook did charge on the offensive end, but his lazy defensive end gave the Clippers an opportunity.
After the timeout, Westbrook recovered from the offensive end.
He made a strong breakthrough to the basket and attracted a defensive goal to Durant who kept up. Durant faced Li Liang's defense and dunked to a layup. He still scored two points.
Li Liang finally braked, otherwise a foul sent Durant to the free throw line.
The Thunder's offensive methods and tactics are sometimes so simple and boring, but they are quite effective.
It's just that Durant had to score on the offensive end, and then defensively against Li Liang was a little bit out of luck.
After a high position pick-and-roll, Li Liang and Paul tried to catch the ball, then bowed their heads and made a sudden shot. They made a 45-degree close-up jumper shot and hit the board.
The 40-year-old boat honey should be able to see that Li Liang made a sudden step and staggered the jumper after half a position. The proper one was Bob McAdoo.
Someone once commented that Jabal inherited Russell and Chamberlain, Dave Cowens is the combination of Dan Issel and Alwan Adams, only Bob McAdoo, he has no history and no future. By.
If there are many big men who can shoot in the NBA, there are many top-level shooters like Nowitzki.
But in terms of style, no one is the same as McAdoo. To say something, it is actually Kobe.
McAdoo is an inside Kobe in shooting selection.
After finishing the task of the brave game, Li Liang felt that he had found a template and theoretical guidance for the offense.
At present, with his physical quality and explosive power, he can't do the impact of James and Durant's layup. Then I can take advantage of the shooting. Can I shoot the headquarter at close range?
In this way, combined with Li Liang's precise three-pointer, take all the distance!
Li Liang has already thought about it. In order to avoid the embarrassment of not turning around and making a jumper after receiving the ball in the first half, he decided to improve his turnover jumper.
After Li Liang hit a close-up board jumper, Westbrook also shot a close-up board in the attack~EbookFREE.me~ The result was a big shot, not in.
Paul scored a rebound in the backcourt and raided from the left.
What about Westbrook?
He ran to the middle again, then pointed at Paul and asked his teammates to help defend.
You are the person who is in counterpoint, quick counterattack you are not close Let teammates mark you?
As a result, Paul easily hung in, Griffin received the ball, and then caused Adams' defensive foul.
Li Liang, as a person who has high requirements for defense, although he is an opponent, he can't stand it anymore.
When Griffin served the sideline, Li Liang couldn't help but said to Westbrook: "Aren't you following?"
Westbrook squinted Li Liang, "I want you to control!"
Li Liang shut up very rarely. Indeed, it's all about his farts, he doesn't have to defend.
