Chapter 633: True smart man

Kidd's coaching at the Nets last season was relatively successful.
Thanks to the Pacers' turmoil, the Nets reached the Eastern Conference Finals, and then were beaten by the Heat, eliminated.
Because of the relatively successful performance, the Bucks used two future drafts to replace Kidd to take over the overall situation and help the Bucks rebuild.
However, after Kidd's arrival, the Bucks' performance in the new season is not very satisfactory.
The record so far is 17 wins and 16 losses, and will have a 50% win rate.
Kidd hasn't helped the Bucks make a look.
Attack so-so, defend so-so, and so-so.
Of course, the Bucks' own lineup is also so-so, especially hurting Parker, the team's player training plan has been affected by a lot.
After the suspension came back, the Bucks' offense did not improve much. The Pacers insisted on one-on-one defense. The Bucks' outside passes were not smooth enough. How can they organize an attack?
After a long pass, Pachulia made a jumper in the middle and missed the shot.
McGee grabbed a backboard and Li Liang took the ball very carefully.
He didn't want to be smashed by McGee again.
Li Liang scored the ball to the winged Hill. After holding the ball through the half, Hill took a cover at 45 degrees and walked in, and then suddenly returned the ball to Li Liang who kept up with the front of the road.
Li Liang catches the ball, two steps from the three-point line, and takes the ball and shoots directly!
"Uh!"
Come in again!
Kidd rubbed his face as he sat on the bench.
What kind of play is this? Why did you start shooting three-pointers again? Isn't it justified again?
At the beginning of the season, Li Liang had a decrease in three-point attempts and field goal percentage. His attempts and scoring in the basket increased.
After Hill and Granger returned, Li Liang began to consciously reduce activities under the basket and returned to his three-point line.
This is killing the teams. Li Liang's three-pointer can really kill people.
In response, Adetokounmpo also shot a three-pointer on the left, and it turned out... there was no point at all.
Li Liang didn't go up and flew back to grab rebounds. After winning the backcourt rebound, observe that a long pass to the entire court was passed to JR Smith.
Smith received a layup, it should have been a ten-win and nine-steady ball. Unexpectedly, Adetokounmpo slammed a layup from behind, and a spiked cap made Smith's layup!
This ball is really beautiful, and Adetokounmpo's physical fitness is even more obvious.
Li Liang remembered that last season Adetokounmpo was almost as tall as himself. He felt that this season has grown taller and stronger.
Li Liang can become stronger through the system, but there is no way for him to grow taller.
This block of Adetokounmpo is really a talent.
Then counterattack, Middleton passed the ball to Adetokounmpo, facing Li Liang, Adetokounmpo dipped the ball under the crotch, the ball flew...
Out of bounds.
This may also be a talent.
After playing back and forth for several rounds, the Bucks still scored nothing.
This is urgent to Kidd, can't I call a timeout anymore?
Fortunately, the Bucks didn't relax.
Li Liang tried to give McGee a high shot, but McGee got the ball but was stealing.
In the counterattack, Middleton received the ball on the left, made a 3-pointer and hit.
The Bucks finally broke the scoring shortage and scored the first point of the game.
Later, the Bucks defended Li Liang's breakthrough in defense. Kidd's defensive strategy for Li Liang was very clear. He wanted to block Li Liang at all costs.
Li Liang played the ball a little bit directly. He missed a jumper and stopped the jumper. The Bucks quickly pushed back.
Adetokunbo took the middle, using the height advantage after catching the ball, pushing with one hand, hitting the board and scoring two points.
The Bucks scored 5 points in a row, and the Pacers need to score.
Li Liangzhong Road received a pass from Hill and chose to break again. This time he caused a foul by Adetokounmpo. He made a free throw line and made two free throws.
Adetokounmpo put Li Liang into the NBA a year late, but the impression is that this is still a young, fledgling newcomer, and Li Liang has been a veteran of the league for several years.
Facing Li Liang's strong play, Adetokounmpo was helpless.
When he first entered the league last year, wasn't this man so strong?
In the summer, Adetokounmpo is already desperately practicing to improve his muscles and strength. There is still a big gap, and he will continue to work hard.
After that, the Bucks slowly recovered their offensive feeling.
They gradually adapted to the Pacers' one-on-one defensive strategy, pulling more open in space and shifting the ball more quickly.
But the Bucks found that Li Liang could not contain this point.
Li Liang is playing the game right now, he is full of firepower as soon as he opens, he can play, he can vote, he can never vote.
When the situation gradually opens up, it will create more opportunities for teammates.
Kidd asked to do his utmost to contain and compress Li Liang's activity space. As a result, Li Liang handled the ball several times.
In the face of the three-man team, the ball was calm, and there was a beautiful pass through the crotch, assisting Stephenson to cut the dunk successfully.
After training with Tomjanovich, Li Liang's consciousness of playing has improved.
For example, in the face of a three-person team, especially when the three-sided flanks are closed, how to calmly play the ball is a great test for a player's psychological quality and tactical literacy.
After Li Liang came to the Pacers, as a single-core team, the defensive pressure was much stronger than in the Lakers and Clippers.
It is impossible for Li Liang to reappear in Li Liang's strategy. It must be a double-team, a multi-player, and defend in advance.
At this time, Li Liang's consciousness and ability to play are particularly important.
Li Liang played the first quarter, scored 15 points, sent 5 assists, helped the Pacers 31:20, 11 points ahead of the Bucks.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the second lineup of both sides came on stage.
Bucks backup guard OJ Mayo opened the first goal, went out to catch Bayles' pass, and stopped the jumper in the middle.
Mayo was considered to be a good player like Kobe, and he quickly entered the league.
It is said that it is because he did not grow tall after entering high school.
But Wade is not tall, so it is still a matter of talent and acquired efforts.
When coming to the Bucks to play the bench, Mayo still has some strength, that is, his style of play, a bit to be eliminated by the current era.
There are too few three-pointers, and the defense is not good enough. It looks like a superstar, but his hair is getting longer and messier, and his beard is more and more sloppy. His image is pulling crotch as fast as he is.
On the Pacers' side, Scola received Stephenson's pass from the middle, swiftly stepped into the basket, and cleverly licked the basket.
Immediately following, the Bucks made mistakes on the offensive end.
David West took Stephenson's ground pass from a high position, made a mid-range jumper, and scored two more points.
Scola and West sit inside the second lineup, so they don't have to worry about offense.
As long as the two are given the opportunity, their skillful low post skills and a very accurate mid-range jumper will be the opponent's nightmare.
Kidd shook his head again and again on the court, how to play this game?
The Bucks missed a three-point shot from the outside, but the ball bounced farther away, and Baylors got the frontcourt rebound.
The Pacers were empty under the basket, and Belles passed the ball to the plugged-in Henson, who caught the ball and dunked with both hands.
The Pacers' second team, the height of the basket is indeed not enough, but this kind of scoring, the Pacers are not harmful.
Compared to Kidd's like sitting on a needle felt~EbookFREE.me~ Byrd is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.
For half of the season, Bird, as a coach, felt like he had done nothing.
There is no wonderful tactical design, no on-the-spot command, but he is silently integrating the team, slowly debugging the lineup, patiently waiting for the wounded to return, and by the way, comforting the big brother Li Liang, the most powerful Pacers One side, gradually revealed.
As if he had formed the Pacers lineup in the past, it was quiet, but quite effective.
Unlike some teams, it always feels like a big deal. When it's rotten, it's shocking, and then desperate to get a high show.
After I got it, I wouldn't pick it. I randomly selected it. Finally, I got a laughing stock, and I got another popular champion/list eye.
Byrd just observes and fine-tunes quietly, doing what he should do. This is the experience he has accumulated over the past few decades since he started playing.
From this point of view, Jason Kidd, who is known as a smart man on the basketball court, is still a bit worse than Birdby.
