Basketball tactics are complex, and in the course of a hundred years of development, there have been various changes according to the changes in rules and player skills.

Demolition is undoubtedly the oldest and most vibrant of them.

In today's NBA, if you don't make a decision on the court, you will block and dismantle.

Li Liang had studied the tactical changes after the cover from Coach John Wooden in the system.

However, at the time, his role was not a ball carrier, but a coverer.

But I've never eaten pork, and I haven't seen a pig run.

In daily training and competitions, Li Liang will also summon cover.

Recently, in training, the team has specially practiced letting Li Liang hold the ball and launch an attack with the help of cover.

And the cover person who cooperated with Li Liang was Griffin.

Paul can cooperate with Jordan Jr., but Li Liang is not so good.

Unless skills are used, Li Liang will cover and cooperate with Jordan Jr. as a ball carrier, and as long as the opponent grabs and presses, the double package is over.

Li Liang can't attack by himself and pass it to Little Jordan? What's the use of passing it on to him?

Li Liang's blocking and dismantling cover points are very far away, and Jordan Jr. wants to catch the ball at the top of the arc, and it is useless to take the ball.

Only Paul can cut deeper and cooperate with Jordan Jr. to create an aerial relay opportunity for Jordan Jr.

Not only because Paul is shorter and more flexible, but also because of Paul's mid-range threat, which makes opponents suffer from both gains and losses.

Li Liang's stronger threat still comes from his three-point shot.

But when he and Griffin worked together to block and pick-and-roll, Griffin immediately found that he had more room to move in the middle.

Because Li Liang's ability to open up space is too strong.

Griffin's template for the draft was Karl Malone, but his development path doesn't seem to be going in Malone's direction.

For example, Malone is more like a rugby runner in the attack, rushing towards the front court like a locomotive when he is fast-breaking.

Then he receives a pass from Stockton, has little extra dribble, and starts to attack the basket directly with the ball.

And Griffin doesn't have the speed of Malone in the fast break, and sometimes he even drags behind, dribbling through the half court by himself, and showing off his dribbling skills and spinning ability.

At the same time, Griffin also has a talent for organization in the offense, but this talent has been somewhat curtailed because of Paul's presence.

He's more of a finisher, a scoring point, following Paul around the court.

When Paul was away, when he and Li Liang were cooperating with the pick-and-roll, he found that the middle of the court was so empty.

An outer line battery is pestled on the outer line, can it not be empty?

Li Liang first made a three-pointer to make the Celtics dare not use joint defense again, and then began to feed Griffin the middle non-stop.

Once Griffin receives the ball in the middle, he has a lot of options.

He can force the basket himself, he can distribute the ball to the wing, and he can pass the ball to the inside.

The middle is a central area that a team needs to defend tightly.

In the past, one of the Celtics' major strength in defense was "blocking". ”

In the beginning, now they don't have Kevin Garnett, they don't have Perkins.

How could it be possible to rely on Humphries and Bass to block the middle?

If you rely on more people to block, the result is that the three points of Li Liang and Crawford may have to take off.

There is no way around it, there is a natural gap between the two sides in terms of squad strength.

And Li Liang found the tactical gap caused by this gap, and seized this point to fight to the death.

In the second half of the second quarter, the Celtics had already closed the gap to only 5 points, and then they were beaten by a wave of Clippers offense to a difference of 15 points.

It was a bigger margin than the first quarter.

Stevens could only pause adjustments.

But it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, you don't have anyone, and it's useless to just adjust.

Stevens has an empty stomach of tactics, but it's a pity that such a simple block and dismantle just can't be broken.

Griffin also found that Li Liang's passing was not as subtle and comfortable as Paul's, but at the same time, his autonomy also became higher.

When Paul's pass comes in, apart from that kind of low-post feeding or simply moving the ball, Griffin can basically think about making a shot.

Paul had already arranged everything quite properly, and Griffin just had to take the last step.

And Li Liang couldn't be so meticulous as Paul, he just passed the first ball, and let Griffin handle it later.

As a result, Griffin felt like he was at the core.

Really dominate the ball like a core, deliver assists, and mess up the Celtics defense.

At halftime, the Clippers led the Celtics by 12 points, 65-53.

Griffin finished with 17 points and six assists, a game-high number in both scoring and assists.

It feels so good to be an attacking core and control the game.

By the third quarter, Griffin continued to be in good shape.

Low post, mid-range, strong rush to the basket after receiving the ball, the score continues to rise.

The Clippers have always suppressed the Celtics, although the Celtics desperately resisted, shouting "I have made contributions to the NBA, my history is the longest!" ”

The result is useless, their play on the offensive end is actually okay, but there is no way to form an effective offensive and turn the situation around.

At the same time, on the defensive end, the problem of Li Liang Griffin's blocking and dismantling has never been solved.

How could you crack it in half a game?

At the same time, Crawford was in good form tonight, and when Li Liang and Griffin were not very bright, Crawford was always able to step up and give the Celtics a blow with his unreasonable singles.

At the beginning of the season, Li Liang was always criticized for Crawford's weak defense and "independence" in attack.

As the season progressed, Li Liang gradually realized how important it is for a player with valuable offensive ability to carry the ball in the NBA.

In the most confrontational basketball league in the world, many talented players who can play the whole court with the ball in their hands in college and high school can only be sappers who do not touch the ball here.

Tactics don't work every time, and individual ability is very important.

When you can't open it, you don't feel good, and the opponent's defense is too strong, a teammate who can rely on his own Li Liang to get the ball in is really important.

The relationship between Li Liang and Crawford is also getting better and better.

Anyway, Li Liang on the defensive end will try his best to wipe Crawford's ass, and Crawford will be responsible for taking the pot on the offensive end.

When Li Liang felt that he couldn't handle the ball by himself, he threw the pot to Crawford and let him shoot.

Isn't this the same as James?

After leaving Kobe, Li Liang seems to be gradually becoming Zhan.

Actually, it's just because he wants to play a little more reasonable recently.

The game with the Spurs not only did not make Li Liang get carried away and think about being a reversal hero, but it made him find the feeling of being a leader.

"What do you mean by a leader? Leading everyone to show together is called a leader! ”

This is Li Liang's perception of the leader, not to mention, it makes sense.

The Clippers' offense was not particularly smooth, and Li Liang's organization always felt a little "hard".

The pass is not clever, there is no good ball to shoot amazingly.

But it was this kind of "hardness" that made the Celtics helpless.

It's a difference in strength, and you're letting the opponent grab your sore feet on the defensive end.

The lack of good basket protection is the biggest problem for Celtic at the moment.

No matter how much pressure you can put on the outside line, even if it is as strong as the Heat, the oppression is strong enough, and if the inside line can't protect the basket, it will still be penetrated.

And they often lose sight of one or the other, because the inside line is worn, and the outside players go in to fill in the holes, and the outside line is also worn.

Griffin was the one who hit the hole, and by the fourth quarter, he had already scored 30 points.

When he drove to the basket with the ball, neither Humphries nor Bass could stop him.

The foul didn't work, and Griffin was in good shape for free throws tonight.

And it was Li Liang's pole that withdrew the iron ball of Griffin.

Throughout the game, Stevens tried to use Jeff Green, Bradley, Gerard Wallace and many others to defend Li Liang, but it didn't work.

Li Liang played very cautiously, his three points were very accurate, but if he didn't shoot easily, he would be killed.

He didn't play at all tonight, he was as steady as an old dog.

Rivers and Mike Brown coached him, and even saw Kidd's shadow from Li Liang's pass.

Thankfully, his shot wasn't like Kidd.

At the end of the game, the Clippers won 110-98, 12-point advantage over the Celtics at home.

The Celtics have played well with several players and have implemented the manager's tactical intentions.

However, he is really inferior to others, and he can't prevent Griffin.

And Li Liang had 20 points and 7 assists in the game, and it felt mediocre again.

But after the game, Stevens took the initiative to hug and shake hands with Li Liang.

"You're the best player tonight." Stevens said to Li Liang.

As one of the youngest coaches in the NBA, Stevens has a face that is not inferior to Li Liang.

Li Liang responded: "No, I am the best coach tonight. ”

As he spoke, he looked at his bench, Rivers, Brown, and Lu...... The combination of these two looks is not enough for Stevens to fight alone.
