Chapter 1195 Substitute Battle, All-Forward Defensive Lineup

The Warriors' bench lineup is also a major factor for them to maintain their invincible competitiveness in the regular season. The bench lineup Iguodala and Livingston are not only offensive and scorers, but also the organization and connection point of the bench. Two 2+ assist points are placed on the bench, which is considered an extremely good level, and ordinary people can't do it at all.Even the main perimeter of many teams averages 3+ assists per game.And the Warriors have two benches at once.It's really scary.

This lineup made the Lakers miserable last season. If it wasn't for Tang Qian's "Gods Down to Earth" in the playoffs, they would basically lose without any chance of victory.The bench is so strong, it is completely impossible for people to survive.

But this season, the situation is different, and the Lakers' bench has also seen a huge upgrade.Not to mention the scoring points of Nick Young, but also the "veteran cannon attack" of Pierce. Pierce may be very difficult to play in the starting lineup now, but playing on the bench is another matter, and he still plays very well.Experience and ability ensure that he can act as an excellent attacker and defense point on the bench.In this way, the Warriors' routine of only strangling Nick Young is no longer effective, because now the Lakers also have two main firepower points on the bench.In addition, Randall and Josh Smith, who are still growing, attack the opponent's basket from time to time, and the three-pointers on the outside of this lineup are even better.

The most important thing is that Larry Brown is obviously also concerned about the carving of this bench lineup.

You Livingston and Iguodala, right?We also have Nick. Young and Pierce, but the real bright spot, or on the defensive end.Larry Brown has refined several routines for the defensive lineup of this substitute lineup.First of all, when the Warriors' bench lineup has a common three-pointer, the strategy of consolidating the defense in the middle is adopted, because the Warriors' bench play is not as varied and complicated as the main bench, and the routine is simpler and more direct.If you can't open the outside line, you can make a breakthrough or play singles.And if the Warriors' bench lineup is open to three-pointers from the outside, it is to directly adopt three-pointers, and try to prevent the opponent's breakthrough attack by single defense.

After all, the overall defensive ability of the substitute lineup is still not as good as that of the starting lineup, so if they all expand the dead defense three-pointer, it will definitely be difficult to recover and help defend the opponent's breakthrough or mid-range attack after the breakthrough.At this time, the role of single defense is even better. Simple and clear, too many assist defenses or joint defenses will exceed the total defensive capacity limit of this substitute lineup.

On the offensive end, Nick Young singles, Pierce singles, shots after covering for two people, plus opportunistic sudden points or simple small tactical cooperation (this mainly refers to Pierce, because Yang Shaoxia basically goes out when he gets the ball Don’t come, just grab rebounds or just retreat directly).Don't play too complicated, the main thing is to defend well. With the offense at a slow pace, you can't play too many tricks, and there are very few opportunities for non-interference.So the simplified offensive mode is the first choice.

Sure enough, the Warriors' model is still similar to the previous one. First go through conventional tactics, pass and cut, and run without the ball. If there is no chance, let Iguodala and Livingston deal with it.This is a general course of action, and the overall operation revolves around this.But what the Warriors didn't expect was that the Los Angeles Lakers' bench defensive lineup this season is also so tough, at least in the offensive and defensive confrontation at the bench level, it can be called an iron wall.Livingston is defended by Pierce. This is a dislocation defense. What about Iguodala?It is another hidden defensive champion of the Lakers, and Covington is in charge.Covington's defense has improved to another level this season. In Tang Qian's words, he is already very close to the defense.Tang Qian is still very optimistic about this player's defense in the future, and feels that he can maintain this level. The substitute end is absolutely invincible in defense, because it is impossible for substitute players to compare with the main players.

The defensive level is close to the defensive line, enough to sweep the blockbusters in the substitute time, but Tang Qian seems to have underestimated him, this guy is actually not very talented in scoring, and the D'Antoni era was only used as a temporary cover, but that was because The crazy small ball tactics adopted by the Lakers last season, the defensive system is almost useless, this season, it is different.Under Larry Brown's perfect defensive system, Covington's defense has basically reached the maximum of the bench lineup, and he even has the meaning of becoming more and more integrated into the defensive system. Under this team system, he may Sometimes better than Bosh.This made Larry Brown look at him with admiration.What Tang Qian and Larry Brown didn't expect most was that this third-year player with a basic salary would not only have a defensive upper limit close to the defense in the future, but even the second defense would not satisfy him.

If such a person is placed in Larry Brown's system, the bonus will definitely be greater and he will reach the peak earlier.

He came to defend Iguodala. At first, the Warriors thought it was a good opportunity. After playing Iguodala twice, they realized that this little-known Lakers player with a minimum salary actually defended so well.Iguodala can't break his defense in singles with the ball? ? ?Are you surprised?Not surprised.Now that Iguodala is getting older, his energy on the court can only be more and more concentrated on one end. According to Cole's request, he focuses more on defense.Therefore, his scoring ability has declined further compared to before.Especially in individual singles with the ball, the degradation speed is not so much.

In the original time and space this season, Iguodala averaged 7+ firepower per game. In the playoffs, he averaged close to 9 points, which is not bad, but it is far from his scoring output with the Warriors in previous years.What about Covington?He is taller, has a longer wingspan, and his pace is not much slower than Iguodala. In addition, he is young and has good defensive strength and persistence. Iguodala, who was a little careless at the beginning, suffered a lot.When Cole saw this, he didn't know that Covington would have this defensive talent and defensive ability in the future, so he was a little surprised by Larry Brown. He didn't expect that such a player with a basic salary could be trained to defend like this by the opponent?He really deserves to be a figure at the level of a defensive master, amazing.However, I am not a vegetarian. I train players and turn waste into treasure, which I think is a unique skill.

Cole is also very good at training players. In the future, many players will radiate secondary light in his hands.

Livingston went to the flank and wanted to back up, but he couldn't stand Pierce at all. Pierce was not inferior to the former in height, and his tonnage was crushed by a lot.Coupled with a wealth of experience and small movements, it is difficult for Livingston to sit comfortably on him. 3 of 1 shots, which is obviously not the efficiency that Cole wants Livingston to play on the court.Pierce used the same method on the offensive end to attack Livingston, which caused Livingston to be pushed back constantly, and then watched the old guy turn over and shoot a jumper, brush~, and the ball scored.

Livingston is too light, he can bully players in the 1st position, but when he meets Pierce, he will suffer on both offense and defense.

Pierce is too suitable for a slow-paced team. He is the main offensive force during this quarter's substitute time, because some people just complained about the head coach's "temper tantrum", and now they are watching the game helplessly on the bench.Larry Brown said he would not be allowed to play this quarter, so he really didn't let him play. You and him are the best, and Nick Young's position is too small.

On the offensive end, Cole changed the team's tactics and actually executed the pick-and-roll of Livingston and Iguodala. This effect should be very unexpected.The ball play and organization of the two are excellent in the substitute world, so as long as they go in, they can cause a lot of trouble for the Lakers.But Larry Brown did not hesitate, and quickly commanded from the sidelines, letting Pierce and Covington defend, and it was not the main "[-]-[-]", but the defensive energy was on Iguodala. Even a couple of balls were dropped in the high post for Livingston.This made Livingston very embarrassed. After the pick-and-roll, he didn't know whether to make a shot or continue to find someone.

If you don't shoot, they let you go, beyond 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 effects.This time Larry Brown also arranged it very clearly.Livingston's shooting near the three-point line is very poor, to an extreme point, about 3% of the 18-pointers in his career, and about 16% this season. Look, what the hell?The mid-to-long distance basket is very accurate, but it is also deceptive, that is, after exceeding 20 feet, Livingston's mid-range shots will also drop significantly.His accuracy is mostly concentrated within 20 feet.So 20 feet away, Larry Brown directly arranged to let him go, and the pick-and-roll pinched Iguodala, so that Iguodala had to pass the ball.After all, Iguodala is not at his peak now. If a person wants to break Pierce + Covington's defense, it is tantamount to dreaming.

So there is such a big open space, even if the opponent makes it clear for you to shoot, do you pop up on the pick-and-roll or not?

This is a multiple-choice question. Livingston hesitated. He made a shot, but the hit rate was very low, and he hit 2 irons in a row.

However, the Lakers didn't seize the opportunity, but it doesn't matter. Slowing down the rhythm is what the Lakers are good at.The Lakers signed Pierce to allow this veteran to give full play to his offensive strength in slow-paced games and fierce half-court offense and defense.The hit rate doesn't need to be very good, just passable, anyway, it's OK to make the opponent's hit rate lower.

Pierce performed against the sky in the playoffs last year. Singles is also his old line, not too high and not too low.

This allowed the Warriors to quickly go to Iguodala to keep an eye on him personally, which made Pierce's shooting rate drop significantly.

At this moment, Nick Young couldn't help but said: "Old guy, it's my turn. Now the team lacks another strong point of independent firepower."I went up to be like a savior.Replace me quickly.Of course, this was just what Nick Young had in mind, and he still didn't dare to say that. He waited impatiently for Larry Brown to be replaced.It's a pity that the latter doesn't have this idea at all. He would rather the Lakers lack the main scoring points than let Nick Young play.

What a... what a stubborn old man! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Nick Yang is so angry, but you still have to keep smiling, right?Alas, who said that he is not a star, but the opponent is the head coach?
Damn, misfortune comes out of your mouth, you can't afford it, you can't afford it.

Cole was aroused with the desire to fight. He saw that Larry Brown had built such a good substitute lineup. He smiled and made a tactical gesture on the sidelines. The players on the field saw it and immediately understood it.Since the conventional routines are not good against you, let's just compete in 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 on the field to defend tactical balls.In fact, the team coached by Larry Brown has a very strong ability to defend the tactical ball, to a certain extent.What was the situation with the Pistons in those years?Tactical ball?It's almost impossible to shake them.Want to open the situation, only personal ability.Do you think it's exaggerated?Really not.Let's just say that the Spurs, a team with such strong tactical execution ability, played against them, how many tactical goals were actually played in a game?Very few.In fact, it was still relying on the personal explosion of stars, such as Ginobili's super god, to barely win the game.Want to play tactics in front of them?Sorry, I will hold you down.

The Lakers can't reach that level right now, and the tacit understanding and chemical reaction are still a bit poor, but Larry Brown has arranged a "strike line formation" for this bench lineup, relying entirely on personal ability to fill these gaps.After all, the Pistons' bench lineup did not have the Lakers' current bench defensive personal ability.The Warriors played one, a tactic that turned the opposing team's defense into a crossover.Livingston first called a high pick-and-roll on the inside, but it was a pick-and-roll, which is commonly known as a dead block. This inside basically has no threat of projection.But after entering, Livingston was still the first to find someone to play the ball.

This is an attractive point, and has no real offensive effect. Of course, if you are completely defenseless, then Livingston will break through and shoot. Thackeray is still not afraid.And within 20 feet, his shooting will suddenly become extremely accurate, and it is impossible not to defend.But as soon as the Lakers' defensive talent came over, he gave the ball to Iguodala at the horn.At this time, this is the essence of this tactic. The inside line who just executed the pick and not break down is not eager to re-enter the inside line. Instead, he stays where he is, and helps the teammate in the corner to continue to cover.At the same time, it emptied the space inside.Give outside players ample impact opportunities.

Iguodala dunked as soon as he entered. Thackeray's attitude was OK but his ability was limited, and he was beaten 2+1 by the opponent.

After Iguodala's free throw, Larry Brown quickly called a 20-second timeout, which was used for substitutions.A few were replaced and a few were replaced, and a few words were explained at the same time, and then they played again.The Warriors came up to take a look and found that this lineup was Pierce + Josh Smith + Covington + Randall + Yi Jianlian.It is equivalent to becoming a set of "full striker".Zhang Weiping from Tianchao Sports Station was a little stunned watching this, because he really rarely saw such a change of formation.

It is a special change or an unconventional change, which is highly targeted.

The ability of this lineup to handle the ball has weakened, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, it is a slow pace. Pierce and Josh Smith can both take turns to handle the ball. The Warriors' bench lineup is not so defensively aggressive.Besides, this lineup is not used for offense when it is on the bench.but...

"Oh, the Lakers didn't make the shot. The Warriors' defense is really good. The bench is so neat. No wonder they haven't lost a game so far this year. There is indeed a reason for them." After finishing speaking, Zhang Weiping thought If you want to boast, you can see that the Warriors used the routine just now, Livingston holds the ball, and the inside is blocked without breaking down. Of course, there are still some changes, but in general it is still this pattern.But this time Iguodala was not able to rush in, because the mobility and physical confrontation performance of this lineup have improved. Iguodala was only halfway there when he was held back by Randall, the "little bull". Although Godala is physically strong, he is incomparable to Randall.Randall was 250 pounds when he was in college, but now he is only a lot bigger, and his strength has also increased a little, so Iguodala and Randall's strongweights are not at the same level.It is basically unrealistic for him to kill Randall with his body.It's okay to make an emergency stop and throw, but this is a tactical ball, and he immediately took the next step.

Transferred the ball to Barbosa standing in the bottom corner.

Barbosa was about to shoot a three-pointer, but found it difficult to shoot it, because a tall figure had moved from the inside of the Lakers.He is Yi Jianlian.Yi Jianlian's mobility is very good. His previous weakness was confrontation. He was too thin at that time, but now he has no problem at all.Besides, the essence of this lineup is not so much.

Barbosa changed it to a breakthrough. Although he has reached the end of his career, it is not so difficult to break through a 211cm big man from the three-point line. After cutting in, he can shoot?When he stopped suddenly, another person appeared in front of him, and he was Josh Smith.I wipe, why is it not over yet?Barbosa was too short of Josh Smith in height and elasticity, so he had to pass the ball in the air again and passed it back.The ball was almost intercepted, and Pierce touched the ball. Unfortunately, he is still a bit slow now, and can only watch the ball being picked up by Livingston of the Warriors again.

However, Pierce was very smart with the ball, he didn't cling to it. Instead, he took a step back and stepped on parallel steps. Parallel steps are standing steps that are used to defend breakthroughs, which is the opposite of forward and backward steps that are designed to defend against shots and pull-ups.Since Pierce took a parallel step on this ball, it means that you shoot, the elder brother asks you to shoot at this position, if you have the ability to shoot, I will definitely ignore you when you shoot.

This tactic has actually been considered a failure, because time is running out, and livingston has no choice but to give the ball to this position.People are waiting for you to break through on a flat footing. If it is still sudden, then Pierce is really regarded as air. Unfortunately, he is not a college player, and his success rate of such a hard breakthrough is too low.Because since he himself was seriously injured, he has long since lost that quick first step, the explosive first step is gone, and he still wants to rush?Isn't that killing yourself?
So looking at the timing of the attack, Livingston can only take a three-point shot.

Bang~ The iron popped out, obviously he didn't make a shot, 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 the opponent to easily get it in the Lakers' defense.

At 24 seconds, he attacked again. This time, Livingston still wanted to cover and play a misplaced game, but the Lakers lineup made it impossible for him to take advantage of it.There is no one who is shorter or thinner than him, so he wants to play back, and the advantage of dislocation is completely gone. Even if the Warriors created a strong and weak side transfer opportunity this time, the effect is not good.Livingston hit Josh Smith with his back, and the ball was almost blocked by the extremely elastic Smith.

This lineup is equivalent to blocking a major backup attack point for the Warriors, and Livingston's back kill is also blocked.

Let the Warriors' single-point blasting have problems now.

Forcing you to play tactical ball with me.

Larry Brown made the Warriors' substitute double guns silent without making a fuss. This is really not something that an ordinary head coach can do.It seems that as long as he has the right people in his hands, his defensive coping ability is indeed a bit high-pressure and terrifying.Cole also called a timeout. He ordered several tactical balls off the court, preparing to go up and smash Larry Brown.Because the players' personal abilities are not so strong in the substitute lineup, they have less freedom to play, and when encountering problems, they rely more on tactics and execution.

To be honest, this is the first time Cole and the Warriors have encountered this season, so there is a bit of adjustment.

Since the two strongest players on the bench of the Warriors can't start the situation and are contained, Cole must of course think of other ways.As soon as the timeout came up, the Warriors ran a new tactic. This tactic is called Chin.Floppy, which is a combination of Princeton.Offense, which is the Chinese name Princeton.It is an offensive tactic that tears down the opponent's defense through running and short passing.Cole is indeed a bit capable. In order to deal with various situations, he has a lot of backups.

Maris Speights at position 4 came up with a high pick-and-roll and performed a fixed-point screen near the 45-degree three-point line, freeing the player at position 2, Barbosa, to throw off the defense and catch the ball at the top arc.After Livingston passed the pass to the former, he immediately rushed into the Lakers penalty area. Of course, the defenders would not let him in easily during this period, but the 5th position of the Warriors is Festus Ezeri. The high position has been mentioned, and Livingston is going to pass by him.Using cover, rush inside.

This is Chin.Floppy's first Chin, the arrangement is complete.At the same time, the fifth position who covered him immediately moved to the right. This technical action is called "Top.Of.Key".He is waiting here, choosing the opportunity to make the next move.At this time, Barbosa immediately gave the ball to Maris Speights who had just screened for himself, and then also cut inside without the ball.At this time, the No. 5 position called "Top. Of Key" just moved around the top arc came in handy. It immediately covered and helped the team's No. 2 position, that is, Barbosa can successfully enter the other end of the Lakers' inside line.This is the second "Chin".

Now it means that the 1st and 2nd positions are in the low position, one left and one right. In order to open up the space, the 4th position needs to have the ability to hit the three-pointer. In the past, Maris Speights did not have a three-point range. of.But during the offseason, according to Cole's request, he worked hard on fixed-point three-pointers, and only practiced two 2-degree angle positions, so he has improved rapidly this season.

The fixed-point attack capability is there.If you let him go, he can throw in.

At this time, the most embarrassing operation appeared. With the supplementary defense coming, Marris Speights at the 4th position actually gave the ball to the 5th position at the top arc "Top.Of.Key".He and Iguodala, the No. 3 near the three-point line on the other side, cut in from the outside at the same time. What is this for?Isn't there already a Warriors player in the low post on the inside?Want to squeeze in?Is it to increase the congestion of the low position?No, of course not.It was designed for these two people to go down at the same time, just to take this position.

Why did you go in?Split sides and cover at the same time?This means... the No. 1 and No. 2 positions on both sides can use this pick-and-roll cover of one left and one right to quickly fly back and stand outside the three-point line again.At this time, the 5th position can pass the ball to anyone according to the opportunity, and whoever has the better opportunity will give it to him.At this point, the opponent's defensive rhythm is basically disrupted. Festus gave the ball to Barbosa, because Barbosa's three-pointer is obviously better.For Livingston, he can only make an outside pass that attracts the defense or a two-point shot after dribbling the ball within 20 feet.No matter how you look at it, Barbosa's side is better.

Barbosa received the ball and prepared to attack, but he suddenly discovered that there were still players from the Lakers following up.And not being thrown off?

No, it's not that they haven't been thrown off, but the Lakers have switched defenses themselves, but can they defend in this way?

Hey, it's not that simple.Cole stood on the side with confidence in his chest. He 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 steady as a mountain and didn't express much.This is?Why?Does he think it can be prevented?impossible?Just thinking about it, the Warriors changed their tactics and passed the ball to Festus, the 5th position next to Barbosa. They still didn't go in, but saw that the situation was not good, and immediately executed a pick-and-roll, so that Barbosa could go directly to the other side Three point attack.

Tianchao Sports Station.

"What a powerful offensive tactic! This tactic was rarely seen before. I think it seems to be a combination of Princeton tactics, and at the same time combined with the Warriors' own pick-and-roll tactical system. This Warriors, this Kerr, are too simple It’s really good.” Zhang Weiping’s exclamation is not a problem, because this tactic runs very clearly and looks good, even the pseudo-fans who watched it on the Internet felt that this tactic was unusual.

"The Lakers are in danger this time! The Warriors can actually run out of the bench for this ball. The team's execution ability is far superior to that of ordinary league teams. I don't know if Director Zhang can learn this tactical ball from our country's players. What about it?" Meteor Shower's question was asked again, causing Zhang Weiping to secretly roll his eyes.But this time it's not that I have nothing to say, but I am really speechless:
This shit didn't see what I just said, thank God that our national team can have half of the executive power!

This is the number one team in the NBA, last year's Finals team, what do you think?

The comparison is not like this, let alone our country, there are not many national teams in the world that can run, okay?Really... can't you ask some nutritious questions?For example, why doesn't Tang Qian play yet?Can Tang Qian be the one who decides the outcome of the game tonight?
The old man was thinking about it, but he didn't know that there was an amazing scene in the live broadcast room.

The moment Barbosa made a shot using the pick-and-roll to go around and shoot, a Lakers player suddenly made a save. He was Covington.Covington's save was so sudden that he almost gave Barbosa, who was only 190cm tall, a big blow.

The ball naturally wouldn't go in, and even in order not to be blocked, the ball didn't even touch the basket, and was protected by Yi Jianlian when it hit the backboard. The Lakers completed this tactic against the Warriors defense.

This, this is all blocked?This team, this old man... really surprised me.

Warriors coach Kerr thought.

And Larry Brown said with a smile in his heart: Boy, Jiang is still old and hot, do you think I'm a person who is not famous?

This "full-forward defensive lineup" is Larry Brown's lineup designed 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 that the Warriors will not be given the opportunity to shoot undefended at any time.This is also a lineup that is very mobile, confrontational, and bulletproof. Larry Brown really has a few brushes and can put together such a defensive five-man team.

The Warriors had a big problem in their first encounter. They were caught off guard and suffered a dark loss.

The Lakers began to gain the upper hand during the bench time. Although most of them played singles and hard work, this was the rhythm of Larry Brown's team.Just make sure that your hit rate is lower than mine.And as long as your hit rate is lower than mine, then I can climb back step by step relying on the ground ball and the hard ball.

how to say?In short, the current rhythm is the rhythm of the Lakers, not the Warriors.

In the substitute round, the Lakers took a small advantage.
