Chapter 1188 The full-fledged defensive lineup broke out in the bench battle~~
The Warriors' bench lineup is also a major factor in maintaining their unbeatable competitiveness in the regular season. The bench lineup of Iguodala and Livingston are not only attack and scorers, but also the organization and connection point of the bench. 2 3+
Putting the assist points on the bench is considered an extremely good level, and ordinary people can't do it. Even the main perimeter players of many teams average 3+ assists per game. And the Warriors bench suddenly has
2. This is really scary.
This lineup made the Lakers miserable last season. If Tang Qianqian hadn't played "God Comes Down to Earth" in the playoffs, they would have basically lost without any possibility of victory. The bench is so strong, it's completely inconvenient.
Way to survive.
But this season, the situation is different, and the Lakers' bench has also seen a huge upgrade. Not to mention Nick Young's scoring point, Pierce has been added as a "veteran attacker". Pierce may be very difficult to play in the starting lineup now.
It's hard, but it's a different matter if he's on the bench. He's still very good at playing. His experience and ability ensure that he can serve as an extremely good attacker and defensive point on the bench. In this way, the Warriors can only strangle Nick Young.
The routine no longer works, because now the Lakers also have two main firepower points on the bench. In addition, Randall and Josh Smith, who have further grown, attack the opponent's basket from time to time. At the same time, this lineup has three-pointers from the outside.
Even better.
The most important thing is that Larry Brown is obviously equally concerned about carving out this substitute lineup.
You have Livingston and Iguodala, right? We also have Nick Young and Pierce, and the real highlight is on the defensive end. Larry Brown made several detailed arrangements for the defensive lineup of this substitute lineup.
First of all, when the Warriors' bench lineup has a mediocre three-point shooting, they adopt the strategy of consolidating the middle zone to defend the interior line, because the Warriors' bench play is not as changeable and complex as the main bench, and the routine is simpler and more direct. Outside play
If they don't open, they will use breakthroughs or singles. If the Warriors' bench lineup has a three-point shooting touch from the outside, they will directly stick to the three-pointers and try their best to hinder the opponent's breakthrough attack with one-on-one defense.
After all, the overall defensive ability of the substitute lineup is still not as good as that of the starting lineup, so they are all extended to defend the three-pointer. It will definitely be difficult to take it back and help defend the opponent's breakthrough or mid-range attack after the breakthrough. At this time, the role of single defense is more important.
Even better, plain and simple, using too much help defense or zone defense will exceed the total defensive capacity limit of this bench lineup.
On the offensive end, Nick Young plays singles, Pierce plays singles, and the two people are covered for shots, plus opportunistic breakthroughs or simple tactical cooperation (this mainly refers to Pierce, because Yang Shaoxia basically just shoots when he gets the ball.
If you don’t come, just grab rebounds or retreat directly.) Don’t make the game too complicated. The main thing is to defend well. The offense is at a slow pace, and there are not many tricks to play, and there are very few opportunities for interference.
Therefore, a simplified offensive mode is the first choice.
The Warriors' model is indeed the same as before. They start with regular tactics, passing and cutting, running without the ball, and if there is no chance, Iguodala and Livingston will deal with it. This is the general course of action, and the overall strategy is based on
This works. But what the Warriors didn't expect is that the Los Angeles Lakers' substitute defensive lineup this season is also so tough. At least in the offensive and defensive confrontation at the substitute level, it can be called an iron wall. Livingston is Pierce's defense.
This is a misplaced defense. What about Iguodala? He is another hidden defensive champion of the Lakers. Covington comes to take care of it. Covington's defense has improved to another level this season. In Tang Qian's words, it has already
It's very close to the defensive formation. Tang Qian is still very optimistic about this player's defense in the future and feels that it can be maintained at this level. The substitute side is absolutely invincible in defense, because the substitute players cannot compare with the main players in ability.
The defensive level is close to the defensive level, which is enough to sweep the blockbusters in the substitute time, but Tang Qian still seems to underestimate him. This guy is actually not very talented in scoring. In the D'Antoni era, he was only used to temporarily support the package, but that is because of the
The crazy small-ball tactics and defensive system adopted by the Lakers last season were almost useless. This season, it is different. Under Larry Brown's perfect defensive system, Covington's defense has basically reached the level of the bench lineup.
Maximize it, and even mean to integrate more and more into the defensive system. Under this team system, he may be even better than Bosh at certain times. This makes Larry Brown a little impressed by him. And the most disappointing thing is that
What Tang Qian and Larry Brown didn't expect was that this third-year player with a basic salary would have a future defensive ceiling that was not only close to the defense, but even the secondary defense couldn't satisfy him.
Putting such a person in Larry Brown's system will definitely add more and reach the peak earlier.
When he came to defend Iguodala, the Warriors thought it was a good opportunity at first. After playing Iguodala twice, they finally discovered that this little-known Lakers player with a minimum salary could actually defend so well?
Iguodala can't even break through his defense in singles with the ball??? Are you surprised? Not surprised. As Iguodala gets older, his energy on the court can only be more and more concentrated on one end.
According to Cole's request, he focused more on defense. Therefore, his scoring ability has declined further than before. Especially in individual singles with the ball, the rate of degradation is not normal.
This season, Iguodala averaged 7+ points per game. In the playoffs, he averaged close to 9 points, which is good, but it is far from his scoring output with the Warriors in previous years. Covington
What? Iguodala is taller, has a longer wingspan, and is not much slower than Iguodala. In addition, he is young and has good defensive intensity. Iguodala, who was a little careless at the beginning, suffered a big loss. Kerr watched
At this point, he didn't know that Covington would have such defensive talent and ability in the future, so he was a little surprised by Larry Brown. He didn't expect that such a basic salary player could be trained by the opponent to defend like this? It's true.
A defensive master-level figure is awesome. However, I am not a vegetarian. I train players and turn waste into treasure, which I consider myself to be one of the best.
Cole is also very good at training players, and many players will shine in his hands in the future.
Livingston went to the wing and wanted to post up, but he couldn't hold up Pierce at all. Pierce was as tall as the former, and his tonnage was much larger. Coupled with his rich experience and small moves, Livingston wanted to
It's difficult to sit and beat him comfortably. He made 1 of 3 shots. This is obviously not the efficiency that Cole wanted Livingston to play on the court. Pierce used the same method on the offensive end to attack Livingston, which made Livingston
After being pushed back continuously, I watched the old guy turn over and shoot a jumper, and the ball went in.
Livingston is too light, he can bully the player in the 1st position, but when he encounters Pierce, he will suffer on both offense and defense.
Pierce is very suitable for a slow-paced team. He was the main offensive force during this quarter's substitute time, because some people just complained about the head coach's "bad temper" and are now watching the game helplessly on the bench. Larry Brown said not to let him
I really didn't let him play in this quarter. If you compete with him, Nick Young's role is really too small.
On the offensive end, Cole changed the team's tactics and actually implemented a pick-and-roll between Livingston and Iguodala. This effect should be very unexpected. Both players' ball production and organization are excellent in the substitute world, so as long as
Once inside, it can cause a lot of trouble for the Lakers. But Larry Brown did not hesitate and quickly took command from the sidelines, asking Pierce and Covington to defend, and it was not the main "50-50" approach.
, but the defensive energy was all on Iguodala, and Livingston was even let go of several balls in the high post. This made Livingston very embarrassed. After the pick-and-roll, he didn't know whether to take action or continue to look for someone.
If you don't shoot, they will let you go. From outside the three-point line, you can shoot whatever you want.
It's up to you to invest in it.
This kind of defense is a classic psychological game in basketball. Who to double-team and who to let go. If the bet is right, it will have miraculous results. For example, the Spurs used to specifically let James play in the mid-range. If the bet is right, the opponent will be defeated. This
Larry Brown also laid it out very clearly. Livingston's shooting near the three-point line is very poor, to the extreme. He has made about 18% of his three-point shots in his career and about 16% this season. Look, what the hell?
?The mid-range and long-range baskets are very accurate, but there is also a deception, that is, after exceeding 20 feet, Livingston's mid-range shooting will also drop significantly. His accuracy is mainly concentrated within the range of 20 feet. So 20
Feet away, Larry Brown directly arranged to let him go. He strangled Iguodala in the pick-and-roll, forcing Iguodala to pass the ball. After all, Iguodala is not at his peak now. One person wants to break Pierce.
+Covington's defense is nothing short of a dream.
So there is such a big open space, even if the opponent explicitly asks you to shoot, do you pick and roll and shoot or not?
This was a multiple-choice question. Livingston hesitated. He took action, but his hit rate was very low. He hit two irons in a row.
However, the Lakers did not seize the opportunity, but it does not matter. Slowing down the rhythm is what the Lakers are good at. The Lakers signed Pierce to make this in a slow-paced game and fierce half-court offense and defense.
Lao Pao'er can give full play to his attacking power. The hit rate doesn't need to be too good, it just needs to be passable. Anyway, it's OK to make the opponent's hit rate lower.
Pierce's performance in the playoffs last year was extraordinary. Singles is also his specialty, neither too high nor too low.
This caused the Warriors to quickly move on to guard Iguodala, which caused Pierce's shooting percentage to drop significantly.
At this time, Nick Young couldn't help but said: Old guy, it's my turn. Now the team lacks another independent firepower. When I come up, I will play a savior-like role. Hurry up and replace me. Of course.
, this is just what Nick Young is saying. He still doesn't dare to say it, and is eagerly waiting for Larry Brown to make a substitution. Unfortunately, the latter has no such intention at all, and would rather the Lakers lack the main scoring points now.
, and not letting Nick Young play.
This is really...this is really an old stubbornness!!!!!!!!!
Nick Young is so angry, but he still has to keep smiling, right? Well, who says that he is not a star, but the opponent is the head coach?
Damn it, trouble comes from your mouth, you can't afford it, you can't afford it.
Cole was aroused to fight. He saw that Larry Brown had also created such a good substitute lineup. He smiled and made a tactical gesture on the sidelines. When the players on the court saw it, they immediately understood. Since it is routine
None of your routines are easy to deal with, so let’s compete on execution and tactical skills. Let’s see who is stronger! Old man!
Larry Brown watched from the sidelines and actually laughed, because he was also confident in the ability of this lineup to defend tactical balls. In fact, the team coached by Larry Brown was very confident in the ability to defend tactical balls.
They are all extremely capable, to a certain extent. What was the situation of the Pistons in those years? Tactical ball? It was almost impossible to hit them. If you want to open up the situation, you only have personal ability. Do you think it is exaggerated? It is really not the case. Let’s talk about the Spurs.
Team, a team with such strong tactical execution, when playing against them, how many tactical goals were actually played in a game? Very few. In fact, it still relies on the personal explosion of stars, such as Ginobili's super god
, just barely won the game. Do you want to play tactics in front of them? Sorry, I'll hold it all down for you.
The Lakers can't reach that level right now, and their tacit understanding and chemical reaction are still a bit poor. However, Larry Brown has arranged a "forward iron chain" for this substitute lineup, relying entirely on personal ability to fill these gaps. After all, that Pistons team
The substitute lineup does not have the defensive capabilities of the Lakers' current substitutes. The Warriors played into one, which was a tactic that turned the opponent's defense into a cross-dislocation. Livingston first called a high pick-and-roll inside, but
But it is a pick-and-roll, commonly known as a dead block. This inside line basically has no shooting threat. But after entering, Livingston still looks for someone to take the ball as soon as possible.
This is an attraction point and has no real offensive effect. Of course, if you are not guarding at all, Livingston will break through and take action. Thackeray is not afraid. And within 20 feet, his shooting will suddenly change.
It was extremely accurate, and it was impossible not to defend. But the Lakers defender had just come over, and he gave the ball to Iguodala in the corner. At this time, it was the essence of this tactic. The inside line that had just executed the pick-and-roll was not
He is not in a hurry to re-enter the inside, but instead stays where he is, watching the right moment to help his teammates who receive the ball in the corner continue to cover. At the same time, it empties the space inside, giving outside players ample opportunities to impact.
Iguodala jumped in and dunked as soon as he entered. Thackeray had a good attitude but limited ability, and was beaten 2+1 by the opponent.
After Iguodala made a free throw, Larry Brown quickly called a 20-second pause. This pause was used to make substitutions. Several were replaced and several were replaced, and a few words were exchanged at the same time.
If so, go back on the court. The Warriors came up to take a look and found that this lineup was actually Pierce + Josh Smith + Covington + Randall + Yi Jianlian. It became a "full forward line"
". This made Zhang Weiping of Tianchao Sports a little stunned, because he really rarely sees such a change of formation.
It is a special transformation or an unconventional transformation, which is highly targeted.
This lineup's ability to control the ball has been weakened, but it doesn't matter. It's a slow tempo anyway. Pierce and Josh Smith can take turns controlling the ball. The Warriors' substitute lineup is not that defensively aggressive. Besides, this lineup is not as defensively aggressive during substitute time.
, it is not used specifically to attack. But...
"Oh, the Lakers didn't make this shot. The Warriors' defense is really good, and the substitutes are so neat. No wonder they haven't lost a single game since the start of this year. This is indeed their reason." After saying that, Zhang Weiping still thought.
If you want to praise it, you can see that the Warriors used the same routine again. Livingston held the ball and blocked people in the paint without breaking it. Of course, there are still changes, but generally it is still the same pattern. But this time Iguoda
La was unable to break in because the mobility and physical confrontation of this lineup have improved. Iguodala was held up by Randall, the "little bull", just halfway through. Although Iguodala was very physically
Strong, but incomparable to Randall. Randall weighed 250 pounds when he was in college. Now he is just a lot bigger, and his strength has also increased a little, so Iguodala and Randall are not in the same level of strength.
It was basically unrealistic for him to rely on his body to kill Randall. He could also shoot with an emergency stop, but this was a tactical ball, so he immediately took the next step.
Transferred the ball to Barbosa who was standing in the bottom corner.
Barbosa was about to take a three-point shot, but found that it was difficult for him to shoot it, because a tall figure had moved out from the Lakers' inside line. He was Yi Jianlian. Yi Jianlian's mobility is very good, he
The weak point in the past was confrontation. I was too thin at that time, but now there is no problem at all. Besides, the essence of this lineup is not that.
Barbosa changed it to breakthrough. Although he was at the end of his career, it was not that difficult to break through a 211cm big man at the three-point line. After cutting in, he could shoot? When he made an emergency stop, another one appeared in front of him.
He lost one person, and he was Josh Smith. I wonder, why is it not over yet? Barbosa is shorter in height and flexibility than Josh Smith. There are too many, so he can only pass the ball in the air and pass it back. This
The ball was almost stolen and Pierce touched it. Unfortunately, he was still a little slow now and could only watch as the ball was picked up by Livingston of the Warriors.
However, this time Pierce was very smart and did not stick close to the ball. Instead, he took a step back and stepped on the parallel step. The parallel step is a standing step used to specifically defend breakthroughs, which is exactly the opposite of the forward and backward steps, which are used to defend against shots and pull-ups.
Since Pierce hit the parallel step on this shot, it means one thing: you shoot, my brother asked you to shoot in this position, if you have the ability, shoot, I will never pay attention to you if you shoot.
This tactic is actually a failure at this point, because there is not much time left, and Livingston has no choice in this position. Everyone is waiting for you to break through. If this is still sudden, it will be really bad.
Treat Pierce like air. It's a pity that he is not a college player, and his success rate for such a hard attack is too low. Because since he was seriously injured, he has long lost that quick first step, and his explosive first step is gone. I still want to
Want to break out by force? Isn’t that asking for your own death?
So after looking at the timing of the attack, Livingston could only take a three-point shot.
Bang~ The shot popped up, obviously the shot was not made, but this long rebound was caught by the Warriors.
This ball made Larry Brown very dissatisfied. Even if it was a long rebound, he would not allow his opponent to easily get it from the Lakers' defense.
At 24 seconds, he attacked again. This time Livingston still wanted to cover and play out of position, but the Lakers' lineup did not allow him to take advantage at all. No one was shorter or thinner than him, so he wanted to
When playing from the back, the advantage of mismatch is completely gone. Even if the Warriors created a transfer opportunity between the strong and weak sides this time, the effect was not good. Livingston played from the back against Josh Smith, and the ball was almost missed by the extremely strong elasticity.
Smith blocked the shot.
This lineup is equivalent to blocking a major offensive point of the Warriors' bench, Livingston's back-up attack.
Let the Warriors' single-point explosion now have problems.
Forcing you to play tactical ball with me.
Larry Brown calmly silenced the Warriors' bench. This is really not something that an ordinary head coach can do. It seems that as long as he has the right people in hand, his defensive response ability will indeed be great.
It was a bit high-pressure and scary. Cole also called a timeout. He ordered several tactical balls off the court, preparing to go up and challenge Larry Brown. Because the players' personal abilities are not that strong, the substitute lineup has less free play.
, when encountering problems, rely more on tactics and execution.
To be honest, this is the first time Cole and the Warriors have encountered this situation this season, so they need to adjust a bit.
Since the Warriors' two strongest players on the bench were unable to open up the situation and the situation was contained, Cole of course had to think of other ways. As soon as the timeout came, the Warriors came up with a new tactic. This tactic is called "Floppy".
A hybrid tactic that combines Prion.Offense, which is also called Princeton in Chinese. It is an offensive tactic that tears apart the opponent's defense through running and short passing. Cole does have some skills. In order to cope with various situations, he
There are a lot of backhands.
No. 4 Marlis Speights came up with a high pick-and-roll and set up a fixed-point screen near the 45-degree three-point line, freeing the No. 2 player, Barbosa, to throw away the defense and catch the ball in the top arc. Levine
After Stone passed the ball to the former, he immediately rushed into the Lakers' penalty area. Of course, the defender would not let him enter easily during this period, but the Warriors' No. 5 position, Festus. Ezeli didn't know when he had already entered.
When it comes to the high position, Livingston just wants to pass by him. With the help of the screen, he rushes into the inside.
This is Floppy's first one, the arrangement is completed. At the same time, the No. 5 position that has covered him immediately moves to the right. This technical move is called "Top. Of. Key". He is waiting here and choosing the opportunity to make the next move.
At this time, Barbosa immediately gave the ball to Marlis Speights, who had just set up a fixed-point screen for himself, and then also cut inside without the ball. At this time, the movement around the top arc was called "Top.Of"
.Key"'s No. 5 position came in handy, covering immediately to help the team's No. 2 position, Barbosa, successfully enter the other end of the Lakers' interior. This is the second "".
Now it's like position 1 and position 2 are in the low post, one to the left and one to the right. In order to open up the space, position 4 needs to have the ability to hit three-pointers. In the past, Marlis Speights didn't have much three-point range.
. But in the offseason, he worked hard on fixed-point three-pointers according to Cole's requirements, and only practiced two 45-degree angle positions, so he has improved very quickly this season.
He has the ability to hit at fixed points. If you let him go, he can hit him.
At this time, the most outrageous operation appeared. As the defender came over, No. 4 Marlis Speights actually gave the ball to No. 5 in the top arc "Top.Of.Key". He and
On the other side, No. 3 Iguodala near the three-point line cuts in from the outside at the same time. What is he doing? Isn't there already a Warriors player standing in the low post inside? Does he have to squeeze in? It's to increase the congestion in the low post.
Is it? No, of course not. It was designed for these two people to go down at the same time, just to take this position.
The purpose of entering is to screen on both sides at the same time? This means...the No. 1 and No. 2 entering from both sides can use this pick-and-roll screen of one left and one right to quickly fly back and stand outside the three-point line again. This
At that time, position 5 can pass the ball to anyone who has a better chance. Once here, it basically disrupts the opponent's defensive rhythm. Festus gave the ball to Barbosa because
Barbosa's three-point shot is obviously better. For Livingston, he can only make an outside pass to attract the defense or dribble to within 20 feet and then make a two-point shot. No matter how you look at it, it's all Barbosa.
Side is better.
Barbosa received the ball and prepared to attack, but he suddenly discovered that there were players from the Lakers following him. He was not thrown away?
No, it's not that they weren't thrown away, but that the Lakers changed their defense. But did they defend themselves in this way?
Hehe, it's not that simple. Cole stood aside with a plan in mind. He originally thought that the old man on the other side would be a little angry, but unexpectedly, the head coach of the Lakers was also as stable as a rock and didn't say much. Is this? Why? Does he think it's okay?
Can it be defended? Impossible? Just as I was thinking about it, the Warriors changed their tactics and passed the ball to Festus at No. 5 next to Barbosa. He still did not go in. Instead, seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately executed a pick-and-roll to let Festus pass the ball.
Barbosa can directly go to the other side to attack with a three-pointer.
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"What an amazing offensive tactic! This tactic has been rarely seen before. I think it seems to be a blend of Princeton's tactics, and at the same time combined with the Warriors' own pick-and-roll screening tactical system. This Warriors team, this Cole, are not simple.
It's really awesome." There is no problem with Zhang Weiping's sigh, because this tactic is very clear and beautiful. Even the pseudo-fans watching on the Internet feel that this tactic is extraordinary.
"The Lakers are in danger this time! The Warriors can actually use the bench to come out with this ball. The team's execution is far superior to ordinary league teams. I wonder if our country's players can learn from this tactical ball, Director Zhang."
What?" The question of Meteor Shower was asked again, which made Zhang Weiping roll his eyes secretly in his heart. But this time he was not speechless, but said sincerely:
Damn, you didn’t see what I just said. Thank God that our national team can have half of the execution ability!
This is the No. 1 team in the NBA and last year's finals team. What do you think?
This is not how we compare. Not to mention our country, there are not many national teams in the world that can outperform us! Really...can't we ask some nutritious questions? For example, why hasn't Tang Qian done this?
Play? Can Tang Qian be the one who decides the outcome of the game tonight?
The old man was just thinking about it, but he didn't know that a shocking scene appeared in the camera of the live broadcast room.
The moment Barbosa used the pick-and-roll to get around and take a shot, a Lakers player immediately saved it. He was Covington. Covington's save was so sudden that he almost lost the ball. He is only 190cm tall.
A big hot pot of Barbossa.
Naturally, the ball would not go in. In order not to be blocked, the ball did not even touch the basket. It hit the backboard and was protected by Yi Jianlian. The Lakers completed their tactics against the Warriors.
Defense.
This, this was all prevented? This team, this old man... really surprised me.
Warriors head coach Kerr said.
Larry Brown, on the other hand, smiled in his heart and said: Boy, you are still as old as you are old. Do you think I am a person who has gained a reputation in vain?
This "full forward defensive lineup" is Larry Brown's special lineup to suppress teams with bench gangsters. Everyone can defend, even Yi Jianlian. It's hard to say how effective it will be, but at least it can be guaranteed.
The Warriors will never be given a chance to shoot unguarded at any time. This is also a lineup that is very mobile, confrontational, and flexible. Larry Brown really has a few tools to put together such a defensive five-man team.
.
A big problem arose in the Warriors' first encounter. They were caught off guard and suffered a hidden loss.
The Lakers slowly began to gain the upper hand during the bench time. Although there were mostly singles and hard-hitting, this is the rhythm of Larry Brown's team. I just need to prevent you from shooting lower than me. And as long as you
If the hit rate is lower than mine, then I can rely on ground balls and attacking balls to climb back step by step.
How should I put it? In short, the current rhythm is the Lakers' rhythm, not the Warriors'.
In the substitute round, the Lakers actually took a small advantage.
