The Whip of the God of Basketball

Leon is actually very nervous, because this defensive tactic has been in a state of experimentation and running-in.

The days spent in the coaching training camp in the summer gave Leon a lot of inspiration. After confirming that Carlisle would join the team as the Celtics’ chief offensive assistant, Leon decided to shift some of his energy to defense. , To fill the vacancy caused by the departure of Old Hart.

As he mentioned on the first day of training camp, he is very interested in how to combine amoeba defense and one-on-one defense, for which he has done a lot of theoretical work and mathematical calculations. He tried to use the membership function to summarize the changes in the defensive formation, and classified the 19 defensive categories he had previously envisioned. After realizing that players might not be able to accept so many categories, he made further deletions and mistakes, and theoretically classified the defensive posture into five categories.

The so-called five kinds of situations do not determine their own formation based on the opponent's offensive system, but require players to be able to comprehensively judge the current defensive situation of the team based on the position, the ball path and the capabilities of the opponent's players on the field. Decide what defense you want to use and how you will cooperate with your teammates based on your defensive situation.

When Leon first proposed this idea, he first discussed it with Carlisle, Cowens, and Siegfried. They all said that this model was too complicated, even if the rules were recorded for the players to remember, it was against the ever-changing basketball. It is still too difficult for the field. They believe that players still rely on inertia, experience, tacit understanding and talent on the defensive end. This sort of patterned defense will put the team into chaos.

Afterwards, Leon exchanged his ideas with Dick Hart, but he was unexpectedly highly appreciated by Hart, and believed that Leon’s idea is likely to change the entire NBA’s defensive history and may really be against the NBA. The rules have an impact.

Perhaps Hart’s evaluation is a bit over-acclaimed, but there is no doubt that Hart has seen new ideas for future defense from Leon’s ideas-in basketball games, defense is inherently passive. This is a challenge for someone who scores more points. Sports cannot be changed. And Leon’s idea is to infinitely reduce the passiveness and make it infinitely close to the initiative.

In the NBA, even the best defensive player can't lock up a super scorer. Even if he watched his offensive moves 10,000 times on the video, when he made a fake move during the game, when he swayed, turned, and changed direction, most of the time the defensive player still couldn't make the right choice.

The same is true for a team. Most of the time when the opponent cooperates, even if they remind each other 10,000 times in the video and pre-match preparations, it is still difficult for a single or two players to understand the opponent's intentions, and they can only use soldiers to block the water If you come to cover up, you may be led by the nose and finally let your opponent complete tactical cooperation to achieve the goal.

This is the difference between passive and active, and it is also a force of inertia and subconsciousness. After all, the offensive party has a natural advantage.

Leon believes that the way to crack this natural advantage is to judge the opponent's possible offensive intention as early as possible, and then make the choice that hinders the opponent's highest success rate.

In fact, in one-on-one defense and small-scale defense, since the 1980s, many players and coaches have begun to apply this kind of thinking. Through video recording, they continue to study the choice of offensive players and draw his habitual choice. Just defend against his habit. For example, if a player is used to breaking through with the right hand, he should focus on his right side and give up the left side appropriately, so as not to judge his left and right on the spot and be unable to find the north. In football, the same goes for goalkeepers to bet on one side.

But for the team’s defense, it’s really difficult to find the opponent’s offensive habits. Each team’s offense does have its own routines, but there are too many routines and too many changes. Even if the rules can be summarized, there is no way. Determine the rules that will apply to that attack.

Therefore, Leon simply came up with an exhaustive method, enumerating all the offensive tactics he could think of, and then analyzed the situation facing the defender at this time, and then continued to simplify it. Only then did he get five situations. Combining these trends, tell the players how to adjust the defensive formation and partial defensive coordination. As for some of the loopholes that will inevitably arise, players' experience and tacit understanding are needed to make up.

If this kind of defense is played to the extreme, then any NBA's so-called tactics will be invisible, and all tactics that run out of space and dislocation will lose their effect, because their purpose will be seen through. Effective tactics will only be left with one-on-one singles and fast attack counterattacks, but fierce double-teaming and rotation will also greatly reduce the efficiency of singles tactics, and only fast attack can not win a game.

It can be said that such a defense will be the "ultimate defense" that Gouldridge dreams of, and it will change the misalignment between offense and defense to the greatest extent. However, if this level of defense is really achieved, then this team must have reached an unparalleled understanding, and every player will become a master of tactics rather than just a **** in the hands of the coach.

Leon knows that such an ultimate defense will never appear, but this does not prevent him from moving towards this goal and leading the team to the ultimate.

Now, in just three minutes on the court, the Celtics have used defense to prevent the Timberwolves, who had been going smoothly before, from finding North. This is not just a sudden discomfort brought about by defensive changes, but because the Celtics have captured the opponent's weakness in several defenses, and the varied defensive mode has made it impossible for the wolves to speak.

"Smart, these guys are really smart." At the time of the timeout, this is Leon's evaluation of the five defensive players on the field, Bell, Posey, Reid, Garnett, Brown, and the last three Leon can expect. The performance of the first two guys exceeded Leon's expectations.

Originally Leon thought that Angie signed Posey as a substitute for Pierce, but now he has discovered that this is an excellent small forward who can stand alone, defensively and intelligently, and can use his body very well. As for another guard, Bell, Leon has been thinking about how to use him before. Reed, Arenas, and Alstom in the backcourt are actually enough. Bell's offensive power often makes him insufficient to be a backup shooting guard.

Tonight, Bale’s defense made Leon shine. In fact, in training, he found that this guy with big eyebrows and big eyes was decisively defensive. He judged his footwork very well, and he was not the kind of pinched player. Very important for the opponent's core guard. The mad dog bite can certainly have a miraculous effect for a while, and the best defense is to limit the opponent on the ball in all directions.

Subsequently, Leon resumed his regular lineup during the timeout, replaced Bale with Pierce, and Arenas replaced Reed. This is a situation that requires a high-strength forward rebound.

The new defensive model is still being tested, and the effect has reached his satisfaction. Then switch to the traditional point-chasing lineup and use offense to recover lost points.

Sanders feels his head is big, and now he is thinking about what defensive strategy the Celtics are using? Man-to-man is not like man-to-man, and zone defense is not like zone defense. It is a bit like an amoeba, but the position of the strikers is obviously different, as if two parts are out of touch with each other. But once the ball was passed to the inside, the inside and outside were immediately combined. It seemed that Step by step had anticipated the tactical moves of the Timberwolves players.

Sanders talked to his teammates about tactics during the timeout, and he fell into a daze. The pen in his hand was on the tactical board and I didn’t know what to say. The Timberwolves players were also a little confused and wanted to listen carefully to the coach’s analysis and solution. The problem that just happened on the court turned out that the coach was also blinded.

"Anyway... we have to play our characteristics, we are still in the lead, the next goal will be very important..." Sanders is really not good at cheering, he was discouraged by what he said.

When the game restarted, the Celtics’ mysterious defense a few minutes before suddenly disappeared, replaced by a one-back and four-forward lineup, chasing the Timberwolves, and by the end of the third quarter, the Celtics The score has been overtaken. The situation reversed suddenly. (To be continued.)
