Chapter 926: Still a defensive issue

Failure is not terrible. Failure is a necessity. What is terrible is that we cannot learn from failure.
If you lose a game in the regular season, if you can learn enough lessons, you can guarantee success in the playoffs.
In addition to the system, Li Liang's ability to win the four championships also relies on his hard work and his brain.
In fact, many NBA players are really not smart.
For example, someone from the Kings.
They often rely on instinct and long-term accumulated experience to play.
They rarely analyze rationally, where and why they lost.
Before becoming the head coach, Li Liang often thought about this issue.
The answer is often: because I am not big enough.
After becoming the head coach, Li Liang needs to think more about these kinds of issues.
After losing the game, Li Liang had a meeting with his assistant coaches the next day to summarize the game's loss.
"I don't think there is a big problem with offense. The main problem is on defense." D'Antoni directly threw the pot to Mike Brown.
But what he said was right. The Kings can play offensively. If there is a problem, it is that the three-point line is too low.
But this is not the coach's pot, it is the player's ability and condition.
Li Liang thought to himself that he can no longer use his hand sense rune for Gordon.
After this product feels good, it is easy to wave, and problems occur after a wave, so let Rondo take it as a leak check.
Brown helplessly spread his hands and said: "Time, it takes time. We only practiced new defensive tactics for more than a week. The key is that the defensive concept must be gradually passed on to the players' beliefs. I think if it succeeds, this system will It’s the
triangular offense
of the defense! It will definitely bring enough influence to the league, and of course, it will also bring us victory.

While talking, Brown himself was a little excited.
In the 1990s and the first decade of the 21st century, the triangle offense did indeed become acclaimed under the promotion of Phil Jackson.
This offensive system is not so much a tactic as it is an offensive philosophy.
At a time when the defensive ground and three-pointers have not fully demonstrated their power, the triangle offense with the core concept of creating more low-post singles opportunities is unique in various offensive tactics that create open spaces and gaps. Exceptionally effective.
Coach Winter, who was originally little-known, became famous.
Of course, after 2010, the triangle offense gradually faded out of the stage of history and became an auxiliary thinking in many offensive systems.
Jackson obviously did not do well in the Knicks' triangle offensive transformation.
In the current NBA, the defense is not that strong, and the three-pointer opens up the space even more.
And not every team has unsolvable singles like Jordan, Kobe, and O'Neal.
Brown’s current swarm defense and triangle offense have similarities.
He has defensive routines, but more of a defensive philosophy, a defensive philosophy like harassment and guerrilla warfare.
In the modern basketball defense system that emphasizes strength, double-teaming, and rotation, it also appears to be maverick.
Of course, playing the Spurs in the second game proved that it is really not so easy to disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm in a high-level game.
Especially for this kind of defense that requires constant movement, one accident is that the hole opens wide, giving the opponent a chance.
The Kings have a long way to go on the defensive end.
For Mike Brown's statement, Li Liang still agreed.
He then asked Tylen Lue again, asking him what he thought.
Tyronn Lu was stunned for three seconds, and said: "I think...I think you have taken too few shots, otherwise you will definitely win."
Mike Brown listened, thinking that Lu was talking nonsense again, but Bruce Lee has not shot too much? 23 shots are already a lot.
Unexpectedly, Li Liang nodded and said, "Yes, Lu is right. If I take 30 shots, this game is likely to win."
Mike Brown closed his eyes, not knowing what to say.
In fact, what Director Lu said is reasonable.
In this game, if it is the playoffs, Li Liang is determined to win, and relying on his offense and outsiders, he will definitely win.
Li Liang has this confidence.
But this is the regular season, you can't rely on props to open the game, you can win with difficulty.
As a coach, training an excellent team is the greatest sense of accomplishment.
After the seminar, several people, together with the trainer, watched the video of the second game again.
Through the video, Li Liang could see a lot of things that he couldn't feel when playing on the court.
The position of the teammates, the defensive choices of the opponents, Popovich's on-the-spot command, the status of the players and so on.
As a coach, you must have the ability to open up the perspective of God.
Like Li Liang in the final period of the fourth quarter, he went to this vision and immersed himself in his own world.
As a player, this is no problem, sometimes it can also inspire his "king of heaven" status or "three-point shooting percentage increase."
But as a coach, you can’t. The coach must always pay attention to the dynamics of the entire stadium.
Li Liang lost to Popovich, and the loss was controlled by a rhythm.
To be honest, at this point, Popovich is worse than Jackson at the time, otherwise he will not lose to Jackson's team.
Jackson has an extraordinary talent in the control of the rhythm of a single game and the deployment of the entire series.
The timing of his call to timeout, his magic when replacing players, and his grasp of player psychology are all first-class in history.
A coach like Bipopovich who was rigid in the early stage and became more flexible in the later stage by relying on absolute control and understanding of the Spurs. I don't know where it goes.
Compared with this top master, Li Liang still has a way to go.
...
After playing the first two games, the Kings embarked on a road trip to the East early.
Wulianke, this is not good news for the king who is still adjusting.
On the 31st, the Kings challenged the Eagles away, and they encountered a little trouble.
The Eagles, which had also achieved great success in the 15 season, have fallen apart after losing to James.
Horford went to Boston, Jeff Teague was traded to the Pacers, and Carol went to the Raptors.
At present, only Millsap and Korver remain in the team.
With just such an opponent, the king actually played extremely hard.
The problem is still defensive.
The Kings' flank failed to stop Millsap's ups and downs in the interior, and Korver was three-pointed tonight.
The Eagles and Kings played until the critical moment of the fourth quarter.
The Kings were 1 point behind the Eagles and Millsap played a superb state.
The most critical time was Li Liang's steal.
He held two [Death Coils] in his hands at the last moment, succeeded in stealing opponents one after another, and assisted Gordon in a counterattack with a three-pointer, helping the Kings to overtake.
Then, Li Liang defended Millsap one-on-one and successfully interfered with his shooting, and the Kings sealed the victory.
In this game, Li Liang scored 32 points and also scored 13 rebounds.
The Kings scored 118 points, UU reading www. uukanshu. com also allowed the Hawks to score 115 points.
Such loss of points, to be honest, was not what Li Liang wanted to see.
Let the opponent take too many points.
A solid defense is the key to maintaining a stable winning percentage in the regular season, which the Kings lack.
After winning the Eagles, they went back to back to Miami and the Kings overturned.
Although the Heat did not have Wade, under the leadership of Dragic, they played a very beautiful team offense.
The King's "swarm defense" was mostly killed and injured by the Heat's hot outside three-pointers.
Although Li Liang scored 33 points and was still efficient, the Kings still lost the game.
After the start of the game, there were two wins and two losses, no winning streak, and more than 100 points in three games.
Li Liang began to experience the first crisis of his coaching career.
