Bishop of the Devil

Richard is naturally no stranger to Stevens' tactical system.

In general, Stevens' tactics can be summarized as "Who beats weakly, who defends strongly"...

Whoever hits weakly, as the name suggests, is very simple, that is, who is short in the opponent's defensive system, then catch this crazy fight.

Of course, this is only a general summary, and it will definitely change on the court.

Overall, Stevens' tactical system is a variant of the Princeton system.

Just like the tactical system of the Warriors of the Later Generations is a variant of the triangle offense, Stevens gave the Princeton system a big change...

But even with a big change, the shadow of the Princeton system can still be seen from the lineup and performance on the field.

For example, there is a big player who can pass and love passing, which is Horford.

For example, players on the court run wildly, seeking opportunities for open shots.

Right now Richard intends to copy Stevens' offensive system to use, which is almost the most suitable offensive system for the Clippers.

As for the defensive system, it cannot be used.

Stevens's defensive system, that is, who defends against others, catches the opponent's deadliest point and pinches.

This is Stevens' helpless move, because the defensive flaws of their Green Kai are really too big, and the reason is that they are too short...

Thomas played 175 in the first position, and 188 played Bradley in the second position.

Horford, who is 208, plays center...

All positions are much shorter than the league's standard height. Bradley in the second position is not as tall as the No. 1 player. How to prevent the defensive one and one?

In this case, Stevens can only sacrifice the enemy's eight hundred self-destructive tricks, which is the most threatening point of the opponent, madly contain it, and use the number to fill the defensive quality. , One can't resist, then the two come to defend.

If this is done, although it can limit the other party's most threatening points, it is easy to make the opponent open...

Sometimes, even in the case of double-entry, the opponent cannot be restrained.

Of course, sometimes the opponent's most threatening points will be directly defended, creating an illusion that this Green Kay defense is particularly good.

This situation continued until Thomas Jr. and Bradley were traded off...

At present, Richard does not need to use this trick. Although Thomas is indeed a defensive loophole, Thompson has much better defensive strength than Bradley. He can count down some of Thomas' defensive pressure.

The defensive tactic that Richard is going to use in the new season is regional joint defense...

This is a defensive system that Richard loved when he was teaching at Purdue University.

It was only that the NBA banned regional defenses for a while, and the team did not need to use regional defenses, so Richard has not used this defense system for a long time.

The reason why the regional defense was used was to take care of Iverson. The regional defense can reduce Iverson's disadvantage on the defensive end indefinitely.

And now with the alliance has opened up the regional defense, and because of the small Thomas, it is now a good time for the Clippers to use regional defense.

The offensive system and defensive system have been determined. Starting in early September, under the leadership of Richard, the Clippers began a new season of training.

The training effect of the defensive system is still quite ideal. At least Richard is very satisfied. The players on the court are all very high. The tactical execution ability is strong. The effect of regional defense is quite good.

But the effect of the offensive system is somewhat unsatisfactory...

It is not that tactical execution is not in place, but that it is not possible.

Leonard's current basket can't bear to look straight, even if he sometimes runs out of the open space, it is difficult to shoot a satisfactory shooting rate.

Thompson is not bad, but compared with the future Tang Shen, the gap is still quite large.

As for Monroe, it seems a bit tasteless in this system. Now Monroe doesn't say a three-pointer, and even the ability to shoot is very weak...

Richard was wondering if he wanted to replace Monroe with a starter and a squirrel monkey with a stronger offensive ability.

But as soon as the idea rose, Richard was strangled.

Compared with the transaction monkey, Richard may sell Monroe first. After all, a center like Monroe and Richard's system cannot be integrated. Let him play decent data earlier, and it is reasonable to sell early.

Now Richard is more and more invented, why Monroe will roam the league when the strength is good...

Monroe's strength is indeed good, but it is mediocre in all aspects, there is no three-point ability, and it is impossible to open up space. This is the most important point. As for the CIC ability, Monroe has been developed in the future, but the effect cannot be said to be good, only Can be considered average.

In terms of internal defense and rebounding, Monroe has no advantage over traditional centers...

This is why Monero is good, but can only wander in the league.

So the player Richard will sell first in the future will definitely be Monroe, not the Malaysian monkey.

...

In the blink of an eye, time has entered October, and the new season is about to begin.

Although the effect of the offensive training is not satisfactory for a month of training, Richard can only do so now. Unless he can let the newcomer reach the peak strength in a short period of time, he can only accept it now. This reality.

On October 3, the Clippers took home the preseason opener.

Richard didn’t know what Stern thought, and arranged for the Clippers the defending champion Mavericks last season as the opponent of the preseason opener...

One is the penultimate Western Conference and the other is the defending champion. Richard suspects that Stern wants to see their Clippers ugly...

In fact, this time it was Richard who used the villain's heart to care for the gentleman's abdomen. Stern's eyes were about to retire, so he didn't have the intention to adjust Richard.

The reason for arranging this schedule is actually to generate income.

The Los Angeles ball market is good, and the Mavericks are the defending champions.

The Mavericks play the Clippers in the preseason, and the Mavericks play the Lakers in the regular season opener...

...

"Coach, look at this posture, are you starting to rise again?" Before the game started, the old driver smiled and greeted Richard.

Carlisle was also around, looking at Richard with a smile.

The current veteran driver and Carlisle are really pleased. In the case of absolute disadvantage, they defeated the pirates and defeated them. This is enough to become one of the classic finals in NBA history.

But now the old driver is actually not troubled, he and Kuban broke up...

At first glance, this seems to be a rumor. Just kidding, will the old driver make trouble with his good friend Kuban? At first glance is fake news.

But the news is really true...

After winning the championship, the veteran driver is ready to make the team make some big moves, and strive to continue defending this season.

But Cuban didn’t know what he was thinking. The only action this offseason was to introduce an old Carter...

What other strength can Old Carter have now? It is no exaggeration to say that Carter's current combat strength is not as good as Sun Yue.

For the entire offseason, Cuban did such a thing, and it was strange that the old driver was happy.

Of course, the trouble is not the kind of thorough tearing of the face, but the old driver is a little unhappy.

He is also very clear that his peak will not last long. If he cannot win the championship in the next three years, I am afraid that it will be difficult to win the championship as a core in the future.

In this case, the old driver was naturally unhappy.

"It's still far away. These new melon eggs still have to be well tempered."

"Don't keep your hands tonight, give me a beating, let these new melon eggs see the cruelty of the alliance!"

Richard said to the two of them.

Carlisle waved his hand with a smile, "It's just a preseason. We are all old guys in our team. How can you have the energy to fight the preseason with you."

"If it weren't for an opener today, and against your Clippers, I'm ready to let Dirk take a break."

...

"Beep beep!" The referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, and the two players started to debut.

The Mavericks' starter is to replace boxer Chandler with Carter, and nothing else has changed.

The old jet, the old demon Kidd, the old hacker Marion, the old driver, now an old Carter, almost became a nursing home.

It is worth mentioning that Chandler, the boxer who played an important role last season, is also leaving the team now...

The Mavericks' starting lineup looks a little nondescript, and it is expected that it should not be their normal starting lineup.

...

Richard stood pacing back and forth on the sidelines~www.readwn.com~ It can be seen that he is a little tangled in the game on the field.

In the opening minutes of the first few minutes, the Mavericks really interpreted what it means to "go to his basketball dream" and gave the Clippers a disgraceful face.

Especially at the point of Old Terry, five minutes into the opening, 11 points in the newspapers and journals...

This shows that the Clippers regional joint defense has not played its due effect.

The good training effect and actual combat are completely two different things. At least the regional defense effect of the players on the field at the moment is far from Richard's expectations.

...

In desperation, Richard can only call for a timeout, allowing Thompson and Leonard to take the spirit and assume the defensive responsibility they should bear.

Little Thomas' defensive shortcomings must be compensated by these two people, otherwise, old Terry alone is estimated to be able to blow the Clippers tonight.
