I was determined to be bad, but I went straight to the Basketball Hall of Fame

Chapter 294 Where Did You Steal It (Part [-])
The Lakers just finished playing the Wizards yesterday. Facing the already fragmented Washington Wizards, the Lakers still played until the last minute of the fourth quarter to decide the winner.

Today, they continued to play the Clippers back to back. Facing the Clippers' fierce and rough offense, the Lakers were not very in the first half.

In the second half, the Lakers still hadn't adjusted. The most obvious performance was that they kept hitting the iron outside.

But the Lakers are worthy of being a championship team. In the third quarter, they chose to press the rhythm and improve their defensive strength when their shooting feel was not good.

Relying on the advantages of details and experience, the Lakers can rely on a strong overall defense to drive counterattacks, and use a wave of smooth and gorgeous offensive shock waves to smooth out disadvantages and even overwhelm opponents.

At this time, it is difficult for the team to match Kobe to stop one-on-one singles. No team in the league can resist.

The score of 61:55 was maintained for 3 minutes at the beginning of the second half. You don't score, and I don't score.

Under the frequent strikes, the Lakers took the lead in adjusting the offensive rhythm. Kobe faced Baron Davis one-on-one from the outside. point!

Kobe's offensive skills are still extremely skilled, and Stephen Curry, who is sitting off the court, is itchy.

He thought that if his ankle hadn't been injured, he would definitely use a breakthrough to retaliate against Kobe.

Then, the Lakers succeeded in defending the Clippers consecutively, and Kobe assisted Pau Gasol in a counterattack for a dunk at the basket.

At 61:59, the Lakers were only 2 points away from catching up. Dunleavy called a timeout to adjust the Clippers' offense.

Dunleavy scribbled on the tactical board, and in the opening minutes of the second half, the Clippers tried to play inside.

However, the Lakers' high-intensity flanking and pressure on the ball caused Gasol and Randolph to have no good shots.

Facing a similar defense in the first quarter, the Clippers made accurate three-pointers, but in the third quarter, the Lakers stepped up their defensive pressure on the Clippers' pitchers. Every shot must be attacked and every pass must be interfered.

The Clippers missed two three-point attempts, and the hands were still not hard enough.

"The speed needs to be improved, don't be afraid of the intensity, rush up, and the outside shot must be hit! If you miss the shot, the Lakers' defense will be tighter and tighter. The two positions of 45 degrees and the bottom corner must seize the opportunity. Play smarter and nimbler guys. We'll do a double pick-and-roll later..."

Dunleavy arranged a double pick-and-roll to break through the Lakers' dense defense and try to open the situation.

If Curry is still there, he will definitely implement this tactic, and if Curry is not there, it will be handed over to Baron Davis.

In fact, the head coach didn't have much to say during the timeout. Min Congda squatted behind the bench, and he would memorize what the coach said every time.

Either to strengthen the defense, or to hit the shot, can the players not know these things?

It seems to be a cliché, but it is actually a reminder to the already slack team to tighten up the clockwork.

Because players are playing in a team, it is easy to get lost, and the responsibility will be shared.

Sometimes the whole team is messed up during the game. Everyone doesn't know what their responsibilities are. The coach needs to pause and redistribute responsibilities so that everyone can focus again.

Then the coach will arrange some sideline ball tactics, or design a tactic when the situation cannot be opened.

But how to play on the field, one depends on the player's own style of play and ideas, and the other depends on the cooperation and tacit understanding of daily training.

If the coach suddenly comes up with a very complicated tactic, or a tactic that has not been practiced before, the players will not be able to play it.

And the more tense and high-intensity the game is, the more the players will play in the way they are most used to.

Therefore, good tactical habits and playing habits need to be cultivated by the team on a daily basis.

The Clippers usually practice a lot of this double-screen tactic, and they will use it if they can't open the situation.

After the timeout ended and the game resumed, Min Congda poked Lao Deng and said, "Mike, what do you think of our team's current tactics?"

Deng Lewei was concentrating on watching the game, but was interrupted by Min Congda. After thinking for a while, he said, "Our tactics are arranged according to your ideas. The inside line is the main one, but it doesn't completely revolve around Randolph and Mark. The outside line It’s nice to have more freedom.”

Hearing what Deng Lewei said, Min Congda was furious.

At the beginning of the season, you didn't have this attitude. I said that you were full of displeasure when you were beaten like this.

He focused on starting from the inside and building a strong inside team around Randolph and Gasol Jr. as the core.

Why do you say it's good again now?Old Deng, why don't you have any principles at all?
Min Congda said: "Don't you think there are some shortcomings in our tactics?"

Dunleavy said: "Oh, any tactic will have shortcomings, we can only try to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses."

Dunleavy did not agree with Min Congda's tactical thinking at the beginning of the season, including last season. He always wanted to use Curry as Cassel.

But what Dunleavy didn't expect was that young people on the outside of the Clippers were very imaginative in offense.

Harden, Bledsoe, including the mediocre Paul George, and the injured Curry.

On the offensive end, they all have their own ability and ideas to create opportunities with the ball, which is destined to prevent them from becoming fixed-point pawns.

Deng Lewei gradually realized this and began to understand Min Congda's "good intentions". He used to think that Min Congda wanted outside players to play blindly and play basketball that looks good but doesn't win the game to get a high box office.

It is only now that I understand that Mr. Smart wants to train these young people!
Min Congda didn't know that his intentions had been deeply understood, so he asked, "Is our attack too disorganized?"

Dunleavy said: "Tactics do not have that much influence on offense, especially in high-intensity games like the NBA. Tactics can provide direction, and it is the players themselves who solve the problem. Of course, good tactical systems and ideas are very important... ...rebound! Rebound!"

While chatting, Dunleavy did not forget to shout at the field.

Baron Davis just hit a mid-range jumper on a double screen.

Then in the defense, the zone defense was suddenly used, forcing Kobe to make a strong three-point shot and miss it.

Gasol grabbed the backcourt rebound, and Baron Davis quickly counterattacked, and the ball was given to Ricky Davis in the bottom corner.

Davis seized the opportunity and hit a three-pointer!The Clippers re-established a 7-point lead.

Seeing that the Clippers took the lead again, Min Congda was so angry, he suddenly thought of something, and asked, "By the way, Lao Deng, where the hell did you steal your defensive system?"
