NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 110 Abundant defensive resources

Paul stood still and glanced at Jordan.

As he walked towards Little Jordan, he said a few words to Little Jordan and asked Little Jordan to lean forward a little.

Seeing Paul and Jordan talking there, Su Chen couldn't help but smile.

For the player Gobert, you can say that he has various shortcomings, but the quality of his pick-and-roll must be admitted.

In Gobert's dpoy season, Gobert can create an average of 6.1 screen assists per game, ranking second in the league.

At the same time, the number of three-pointers made by the Jazz became the first in the league that season.

Gobert's pick-and-roll is unquestionable.

Even Paul at the first defense level, facing Gobert's pick-and-roll, it is impossible to directly squeeze Gobert away.

At most, it can squeeze past as much as possible from the side.

Clippers offensive round.

After being hit by McCollum, Paul was very angry and ready to fight back on the offensive end.

But Paul took a look, and it was not McCollum who was defending him, but Iguodala was defending him.

McCollum went straight to Dudley.

Paul saw that he quit, and directly signaled Dudley to come over to cover and change defenses.

Paul's golf quotient is very high, and Iguodala's defensive ability is still ranked first in the league, although he is not afraid.

But if you can pinch soft persimmons, why not pinch soft persimmons?

However, McCollum seemed to have known that Paul was looking for him to fight, so he bypassed it directly and still matched up with Dudley.

Iguodala also cooperated very well, and the two were not replaced.

After Paul changed, he found that the person in front of him was still Iguodala.

Paul is also a bit over the top.

Directly signal Dudley to pick and roll again.

This time Paul is ready. If McCollum is still ready to evade, he will speed up directly to find a shot.

But this time, McCollum didn't change again, but faced Paul directly.

"Rookie, don't you even have the courage to face me?"

Paul also found time to spray a trash talk.

However, McCollum had already made preparations, ignored Paul's words, but took a defensive posture seriously.

McCollum just hit a pick-and-roll, and Paul also called Jordan over to hit the pick-and-roll back.

Let this rookie know who is the pick-and-roll master.

Although the quality of Jordan's pick-and-roll is not as good as that of Gobert, it is still good. McCollum can only try to get out of the way.

Paul observed Gobert's position and found that Gobert hadn't come out under the basket, so he planned to shoot directly.

But at this time Covington immediately appeared in front of Paul. If Paul made a shot, the ball would definitely be interfered by Covington.

Paul went from a shot to a tap.

But Covington only assisted in the defense, but did not lose his position. At the same time, McCollum behind him double-teamed.

Paul didn't just click, the ball also joined the ball, and the two directly surrounded Paul in the middle, one left and one right.

At this time, the Clippers players will come to meet Paul immediately.

But there is not much time left in the attack. It took McCollum twice just to call McCollum, and he also took the time to spray trash on McCollum.

Paul's disadvantage of 1 meters is fully displayed at this moment.

Even Paul, the pass master, faced with the double-teaming of the two, it was difficult to find a chance to play the ball.

Even if you want to hang high to the inside, because Gobert is guarding the basket, it is not easy to hang in.

Not much time to attack, Paul can only pass the ball hastily.

But on the route of Paul's pass, a figure appeared.

Giannis Antetokounmpo directly intercepted the pass with his long arm,
After stealing the ball, Giannis Antetokounmpo strode toward the Clippers basket.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has long arms and legs, has bigger steps than others, and he can't even catch up with him from outside.

boom!
The young Giannis Antetokounmpo completed this fast break with a dunk.

Clippers 0:4 Timberwolves.

This dunk silenced the noisy Staples Center.

As the creator of this mistake, Paul's complexion is not very good.

He even took a look at the Timberwolves' bench.

Obviously, Su Chen came prepared.

But Paul is still Paul after all.

In the next round of the Clippers, Paul directly signaled to pull away.

He didn't need the pick-and-roll this time, and he directly scanned the Timberwolves' defensive strategy. Once someone came to double-team him, he would be able to quickly release the ball.

Even if it's Jordan at the basket, if Gobert dares to defend him, he can directly throw a lob to Jordan.

He has this ability.

Facing McCollum, Paul replaced him and played directly against McCollum.

Paul's singles level is also top-notch. After a series of dribbles, he shook McCollum a position and directly chose the mid-range shot.

brush!
hit.

Clippers 2:4 Timberwolves.

"Rookie, welcome to the NBA."

After Paul made the shot, he also spat trash on McCollum.

Su Chen frowned, and gestured on the sidelines.

Arranged a strategy with gestures on the sidelines.

Timberwolves offensive round.

McCollum, who had just been beaten by Paul, became competitive at this time.

Originally, this was a positional battle. The Timberwolves' players were still in tactical positions, and the Clippers' players were naturally still man-to-man.

But at this time, Gobert suddenly mentioned a step outside the three-point line and assumed a pick-and-roll posture.

Before Paul could react, he was staggered by Gobert behind him.

With the space to shoot, McCollum didn't hesitate, and directly shot a chasing three-pointer from outside the three-point line.

Although Jordan was hinted by Paul to bring it up a little bit, he didn't mention it like that.

This McCollum is still more than one step away from the three-point line.

Just voted?
brush!
However, before Jordan could turn around, he heard a net swiping.

Clippers 2:7 Timberwolves.

McCollum, who made the three-pointer, clenched his fists to celebrate, and the expression on his face was firm.

"A quick three-point offense, this is the style of play that the Warriors used last season, and Su Chen directly copied it to the Timberwolves."

"No wonder McCollum will start at the meeting. It seems that McCollum was trained by Su Chen as Curry."

After seeing this scene, the on-site commentator also said excitedly.

beep!
Rivers on the Clippers also called a timeout.

Rivers scowled, clearly unhappy.

McCollum became the one who stopped the Clippers, and he also received high fives from his teammates.

"This is your ability, if you have the opportunity, make a firm move."

Su Chen also patted McCollum on the back.

It doesn't take him much energy to feed a player something like chicken soup, especially since it's the bargaining chip he needs to trade for all-star fighting power.

It is natural to perform well.

McCollum is also very excited. It seems that he has gained the trust of his teammates and coaches.

The boss of this team is really not necessarily that stupid big guy, he is the core of this team!

It seems that the coach finally discovered his talent.

His three-pointer is more than accurate!

Unlike that big guy, he can't shoot three-pointers at all.

But now they are teammates after all, and McCollum is also a friendly Giannis Antetokounmpo high-fives.

Giannis Antetokounmpo's defense is good, and it will be good for him to be the second master in the future.

McCollum is a little swollen now, he can feel that he feels good tonight, and tonight is his performance night!

But after Su Chen fed McCollum a mouthful of chicken soup, he ignored him.

"It seems that the simulated glasses even increase the number of training sessions for players."

At this moment, Su Chen was thinking.

He has always had an idea that the simulation glasses allow the team's tactics to be simulated thousands of times in an instant, allowing players to perform such actions thousands of times.

So is it also on the one hand, helping players to do thousands of trainings?
This idea has existed in his heart since last season.

Throwing shots like Green's have only started to practice, but on the stage of the playoffs, they can already be used.

At that time, the playoffs were too tight, and Su Chen didn't have time to really test this idea.

For example, Curry himself has the ability of super long-range three-pointers, and it cannot prove that the simulated glasses have helped Curry train thousands of super long-range shots.

But although McCollum has practiced three-pointers, he has practiced less for ultra-long three-pointers.

So when simulating tactics this time, setting up super-long three-point tactics for McCollum meant to verify this idea.

Although McCollum made a super long three-pointer, it still cannot directly prove this point.

"But even if you simulate thousands of shots, it's okay."

Su Chen put his energy back into the game.

In fact, the daily training volume of NBA players is basically around 500 shots, and some hard-working ones will train a thousand or even two thousand times a day.

Just like Griffin on the opposite side.

His shooting coach Tate revealed that Griffin takes [-] shots a year.

Even with [-] shooting trainings a year, Griffin's shooting level is still considered to be a power forward's shooting level in the middle or even lower in the league.

It can only be said that it is really useful, it will allow these rookies to accelerate their growth a little bit, and let the less hard-working players become hard-working players.

Pause back.

The Clippers then rearranged their strategy.

This is not only Rivers' arrangement, but also Paul's suggestion.

Paul is also really good. He sees that McCollum basically attacks by himself after the pick-and-roll, and then directly asks the team to interfere with McCollum.

really.

Gobert raised his hands under the basket, but McCollum didn't dare to pass.

On the one hand, it is because McCollum himself knows that his organizational level is a few catties and a few taels.

At the same time, it is also clear that during the usual team training, Gobert's level of receiving passes is a few pounds.

Su Chen strictly prohibited McCollum and Gobert from doing alley-oop cooperation like Paul and Jordan.

After seeing the Clippers' defensive strategy change, Su Chen immediately called a timeout.

Just kidding, if you don't call a timeout, McCollum will go up and pass the ball to Gobert.

Then be timid!
Maybe not every ball will be missed, and there will be a few successful balls, but the success rate Su Chen can't believe them.

The two biggest bargaining chips, all of the value of the transaction will be beaten down in a while.

After a pause.

McCollum started to move off the ball, and it became a Giannis Antetokounmpo and Gobert pick-and-roll at the same time.

With Giannis Antetokounmpo as the master, the Clippers' defensive strategy against McCollum has lost its effect.

They also plan to tackle Giannis Antetokounmpo in the same way.

But Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has a very wide passing vision, directly threw the ball high and fed Gobert to a quite comfortable position.

For this kind of comfortable cake, Gobert can still eat deliciously.

In fact, with such a ball, Giannis Antetokounmpo has the ability to score points by himself, which means that he has turned his chance to score points into an assist to feed Gobert.

Although he didn't understand why the coach suddenly asked him to play like this, he could only follow the coach's arrangement.

It happened to also practice his organizational skills.

On the defensive end.

The problem of Gobert's lack of sensitivity in defense against the perimeter and the problem of McCollum's weak single-defense ability were also covered up by Su Chen's strategy of joint defense.

If Gobert doesn't defend against going out, he will naturally not show his defensive level in defending against pick-and-roll changes.

Especially this time, Paul can be regarded as a person who beats big textbooks. How could Su Chen let Gobert face Paul?

Gobert doesn't need to defend himself. Gobert, who is on the inside, is still full of deterrence.

At the same time, there is a zone defense, McCollum only needs to defend against the matchup shot, and it looks like the zone defense system deliberately put people in if it is passed.

Halftime is over.

Clippers 60:68 Timberwolves.

Relying on this system, the Timberwolves took the lead at halftime.

McCollum scored 15 points at halftime. Playing like this, McCollum should be 25+ in this game.

The Clippers were forced to shoot a lot of threes.

If it were a quasi-team, maybe the Timberwolves would be scoring more points now.

But the Clippers are Jordan and Griffin after all. With them, the zone defense sometimes leaks basically all from Griffin.

Griffin's three-pointer does not yet have the ability to collapse the Timberwolves.

And being able to defend like this, without exposing McCollum's defensive shortcomings, is also a super strong striker lineup for the Timberwolves.

Robert Covington and Giannis Antetokounmpo's defense capabilities are basically top-notch. The two make up for people everywhere on the court, making it difficult for the Clippers to have a chance.

At the same time, Iguodala, Luol Deng, and Josh are also strong defensive players.

The Timberwolves' defensive resources are so rich that even with McCollum and Curry who was rotated up, they did not expose their defensive shortcomings.

The current defensive resources of the Timberwolves are simply too happy for those defenders who are strong offensively and weak defensively.

"Why don't you just switch to an All-Star insider and just switch to an All-Star guard who is strong offensively and weak defensively."

Even Su Chen was thinking about this question.

Of course, this is just a thought.

If you can give priority to switching to a favorite All-Star insider, it is better to switch to an All-Star insider first.

In this way, the Timberwolves can form a steely defensive formation.

Although the Timberwolves' defensive resources are overflowing, which coach would dislike the problem of too many defensive resources?
The offensive small guards are all options that cannot be replaced by the All-Star insiders.
