: 276. Bickerstaff with a headache

"If you have Liu's athletic ability, I don't mind you becoming a defensive free agent." Bickerstaff glared at Nick Young.
Nick Young saw Bickerstaff with an angry look in his eyes. Don’t look at Bickerstaff’s kindness to Liu Ren. In fact, he has very high authority in the coaching world. After all, he has been a head coach again. , And once the general manager.
Now the Lakers are satisfied with Bickerstaff, only Whiteside, Green, Gasol, Liu Ren and Antetokounmpo. Gasol was the defensive core when he was under the hands of Zen Master, although his athletic ability declined. A lot, but his sense of assistance in the inside line and the deterrence of his body are still very strong.
Liu Ren, Green, Whiteside, Antetokounmpo have strong defensive talents and enthusiasm, and defense still depends on talent.
These four seem to be the kind of players who are naturally good at defense in Bickerstaff. Liu Ren and Antetokounmpo have super athletic ability and good defensive awareness. They can rely on their natural keen intuition to make up for defense and breakthrough players at any time. And rely on physical talent to return to his defensive player at any time.
In Bickerstaff's opinion, Green's defense is completely at the level of the best defensive player! He really wondered why the team has such an all-around defensive player who can defend against centers and shooting guards. Why did the team only rank 14th in defense last season? It's incredible.
The biggest feature of Whiteside is the dominance of blocks and rebounds. Whiteside was not idle this summer. He ran to the former Bulls and Lakers power forward Horais Grant to ask for guidance and make his defense more capable. The next step is to say simple is to further strengthen your choice of sealing timing.
The huge body, combined with good mobility and the expression that everything seems to be not working hard, makes Bickerstaff not worried about the defense of the second team led by Whiteside. The second team With such a big man, it is enough to have a group of defensive players who do not play blindly!
Although Thackeray's athletic ability makes Bickerstaff very dissatisfied, but fortunately he has a good defensive attitude and is very obedient. Let him squat inside. He never wants to show himself too much like Nick Young and LaVine. One thing that makes Bickerstaff satisfied, the most important thing for a substitute is to be obedient!
With such five insiders, Bickerstaff thinks this team's inside talent is simply overflowing too much!
But the perimeter looks bad in Bickerstaff. Liu Ren's defensive habits are a bit poor, and he always over-relates his defensive players to help defend, but now the league small forwards except for a few small forwards like James and Anthony , Durant is the number one scorer, and most of the others are 3d players. Some points are not very important. No team wants to win by relying on 3d players to score.
The role of 3d players on the offensive end is to open up the space, so that the team's tactics can be played, if the 3d players score too much, in fact, it means that other teammates' tactics are not played well!
The most important thing is that from Liu Ren’s fight with top small forwards last season, his single-defense ability gets better and better as the season deepens. On the contrary, because the team has no defensive system, the more he helps defend. It's getting worse.
The defense system is very important, and more important is talent. Otherwise, there will be a lot of defense experts in the league. There are too many players who rely on defense to stand firm. Except for D'Antoni's ingenious coach, others Coaches like players who are active on defense.
The first week passed quickly. The Lakers players divided into three groups and practiced a full state defensive run, except for Green, Whiteside, Liu Ren, Antetokounmpo and Gasol, and Kobe, who has a lot of defensive experience. It feels good, as if there is a feeling of surprise, everyone else is tired enough!
Every day is constantly repeating, repeating, repeating, repeating running positions, only to be described as boring.
This is also the reason why teams like the Spurs and the Pistons at the beginning of the century are not seen by stars, because daily training is a boring repetitive training defense.
Bickerstaff is a defensive system built for the Lakers based on the Nuggets' defensive system in the 90s. The two teams have one feature in common, that is, their overall athletic ability!
It seems that the Nuggets have always built a team based on the track and field team, which is always composed of a group of players with excellent physical talents. Back then, Bickerstaff worked for the Nuggets and was the head coach and general manager, so I know how to do this. The team builds a defensive system.
When Bickerstaff built a defensive system for the Nuggets, he retired and became general manager. The head coach recruited was George Karl. George Karl is also an offensive team, but he has defense.
In order to match D'Antoni's offensive strength, Bickerstaff's defensive goal for the Lakers is to change positions quickly, and then get the opportunity to counterattack and fast break.
Generally speaking, the Lakers and the Nuggets have similar lineups. At that time, the Nuggets had top shot-blockers like Mutombo, defensive leaders with excellent physical conditions like Bryant Stitch, and others. The players are very athletic, have a complete defensive system, and George Carr's quick offensive style of play, so they created the first black eight miracle in the NBA.
...
Through the first week of training, after Bickerstaff collected some questions from the players, he handed over the team to D'Antoni to study how to improve.
Obviously the Lakers are the Lakers, and the Nuggets back then were the Nuggets back then. The two teams are still very different, and it is not possible to copy them mechanically.
"Finally we can practice offense!" Nick Yang exclaimed excitedly.
"I think it's fun to defend. It's not bad to prevent opponents from making consecutive shots." Liu Ren smiled.
"Boss! That's you! It would be fun if I help defend like you everywhere~EbookFREE.me~ But my task is to defend against pitchers, do you know how boring it is? Or just follow along, or just Standing stupid, too boring." Nick Yang said angrily.
The defensive coach is most afraid of Nick Young. A very important part of the defensive system is the position-based defensive players. They are the key to blocking the opposing pitchers and weak-side air-cutting players, just like the players with excellent supplementary defense. important!
Usually such defensive players are generally talented and hardworking players. Nick Young is obviously not of this type.
"No, it's boring? I think CJ did it very happily." Liu Ren said and glanced at McCollum, who was so happy because of being praised by Bickerstaff.
Nick Young ran over and hooked McCollum's neck and said viciously, "Hey! Cj, why are you so alive in such boring things?"
