The Warriors' bench lineup was also a major factor in their regular season unbeatable competitiveness, with Iguodala and Livingston serving as both attackers and scorers as well as playmakers and tandem points on the bench. 2 3+ assist points on the bench, even if it is an extremely good level, ordinary people can't do it at all. Even the main outside line of many teams, that is, an average of 3+ assists per game. And the Warriors bench, there are 2 at once. It's horrible.

Last season, this lineup made the Lakers simply miserable, if it weren't for the Tang potential playoffs to open the "gods descend to earth", it would basically be a steady loss, and there is no possibility of victory at all. The benches are so strong, they don't give people a way to live at all.

But this season, things are different, and the Lakers' bench has seen a huge upgrade. Nick. Not to mention Young's scoring point, Pierce has been added as an "old gunner", Pierce may be struggling to play in the starting lineup now, but when he is placed on the bench, it is two different things, and he still plays very well. His experience and ability ensure that he can be an excellent attacker and top defender off the bench. So the Warriors only strangled Nick. Young's routine is no longer easy to use, because now the Lakers are also the two main firepower points on the bench. Plus there is further growth of Randall and Josh. Smith slammed into opponents' baskets from time to time, and the lineup's three-point shooting from the outside was even better.

Mostly, Larry. Brown is obviously just as interested in crafting this bench lineup.

You're Livingston and Iguodala, right? We also have Nick. Young and Pierce, and the real bright spot is on the defensive end. The defensive lineup of this bench is paired with Larry. Brown did several refinements of the routine. First of all, when the Warriors' bench lineup has an ordinary three-point hand, they will take the strategy of consolidating the interior line of the middle joint defense, because the Warriors' bench play style is not as changeable and complex as the main bench, and the routine is more simple and direct. If you can't open the outside line, you can break through or play singles. And if the Warriors' bench lineup outside three-point feel open, it is to directly take a dead-end three-pointer, and try to prevent the opponent's breakthrough offense as much as possible.

After all, the overall defensive ability of the substitute lineup is still not as good as the starter, so it is difficult to recover the opponent's breakthrough or mid-range attack after the breakthrough. At this time, the role of single defense is better, simple and clear, and taking too many co-defenses or joint defenses will exceed the total defensive capacity limit of this substitute lineup.

On the offensive end, it's Nick. Yang singles, Pierce singles, shots after covering two people, plus a sudden point or a simple small tactical cooperation (this mainly refers to Pierce, because Yang Shaoxia basically can't get out when he gets the ball, just grab rebounds or go directly to retreat). Don't play too complicated, the main thing is to defend well, the offense is slow-paced, and there are not many tricks to play, and there are few opportunities for no interference. So a simplified offensive mode is preferred.

The Warriors' model is still the same as before, taking the usual tactics first, passing and cutting, running without the ball, and dealing with Iguodala and Livingston if they don't have the opportunity. That's the general course of action, and it's all about that. But what the Warriors didn't expect was that the Los Angeles Lakers' bench defensive lineup this season was also so strong, at least in the off-the-bench offensive and defensive confrontation, it was an iron wall. Livingston is the Pierce defense, which is a misplaced defense, but what about Iguodala? is another hidden defensive stalwart of the Lakers, Covington will take care of it. Covington's defense has taken it to the next level this season, and in Tang Qian's words, it is already very close to the defensive formation. Tang Qian is still very optimistic about this player's defense in the future, and feels that he can maintain this level, and the substitute end is absolutely invincible in defense, because it is impossible for the substitute player to compare his ability with the main player.

The defensive level close to the defensive lineup is enough to sweep the blockbuster in the bench time, but Tang Qian still seems to underestimate him, this guy is actually not obvious in the scoring end, and the D'Antoni era is only used to temporarily top the bag, but that is because of the crazy small-ball tactics taken by the Lakers last season, the defensive system is almost useless, this season is different. In Larry. Under Brown's perfect defensive system, Covington's defense has basically reached the maximum level of the bench lineup, and even has the intention of becoming more and more integrated into the defensive system, and in this team system, he may be better than Bosh at times. This makes Larry. Brown was a little impressed with him. And the most let Tang Qian and Larry. What Brown didn't expect was that this third-year player with a base salary would not only be close to the defensive ceiling in the future, but even the second defense would not be able to satisfy him.

Such a person put Larry. In Brown's system, the bonus will definitely be greater and reach the peak earlier.

He came to defend Iguodala, and at first the Warriors thought it was a good opportunity, but after playing Iguodala twice, they found out that this little-known base-salary player of the Lakers team actually defended so well? Iguodala couldn't break down his defense in a single game with the ball??? Surprised? Not surprised. Iguodala is now getting older and more focused on one end of the pitch, and Kerr's demands are more focused on defence. So his scoring ability has declined further than before. Especially in individual singles with the ball, the deterioration speed is not ordinary.

This season, Iguodala averaged 7+ firepower per game, and the playoffs were close to 9 points, which is already good, but it is far from his scoring output with the Warriors in previous years. What about Covington? Taller, longer arm span, not much slower than Iguodala, plus young, defensive intensity and good continuity, Iguodala suffered a lot of losses at first. Kerr saw this, he didn't know that Covington would have this defensive talent and defensive ability in the future, so he was interested in Larry. Brown was a little surprised, he didn't expect such a base-salary player to be adjusted to defend like this by the opposite side? It's really worthy of being a defensive grandmaster-level character, amazing. However, I'm not a vegetarian either, and I think it's a must-have for me to train players and turn waste into treasure.

Kerr is also very good at tuning players, and many players in the future have exuded a second light on his hands.

Livingston went to the flank and wanted to have his back on his back, but he couldn't stand up to Pierce at all, Pierce was not inferior in height to the former, and the tonnage was even more than crushed. Coupled with a wealth of experience and small movements, it was difficult for Livingston to sit comfortably and hit him. 1-of-3 shooting, which is clearly not the efficiency that Kerr wants Livingston to play on the court. Pierce used the same means to attack Livingston on the offensive end, which made Livingston constantly pushed back, and then watched the old guy turn over and jump and shoot, brush ~, and the ball went in.

Livingston is too light, he can bully the No. 1 player, and when he runs into Pierce, he will be deflated on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

Pierce is too good for a slow-paced team, and he was an offensive mainstay in this quarter of bench time because some people have just complained about the manager's "temper tantrums" and are now watching from the bench. Larry. Brown said he wouldn't let him play this quarter, so he really didn't let him play, and you and he were, Nick. Yang's coffee slot is too small.

On the offensive end, Kerr made the team change his tactics and actually executed Livingston and Iguodala's blocking, which should have been very unexpected. The shooting and organization of the two people are excellent in the bench world, so as long as they get in, they can cause a lot of trouble for the Lakers. But Larry. Brown didn't hesitate, and quickly commanded from the sidelines, letting Pierce and Covington defend, and it wasn't the main "five-five", but the defensive energy was on Iguodala, and even several balls were released from Livingston in the high post. This made Livingston very embarrassed, and he didn't know whether to make a move or continue to look for someone after the block.

If you don't shoot, people will let you go, outside the three-point line, you can shoot whatever you want.

It's your ability to vote.

This kind of defense is the classic psychological game in basketball, who to wrap and who to let go, if the bet is right, it will have a miraculous effect, for example, the Spurs once put James's mid-range, bet right, and beat the opponent to the ground. This time Larry. Brown also laid it out very clearly. Livingston's shooting near the three-point line is poor, to a pole, about 18 percent in his 3-point shooting career, about 16 percent this season, you see, what the hell? The mid-to-long-range basket is accurate, but it is also deceptive, that is, after exceeding 20 feet, Livingston's mid-range shooting percentage will also drop significantly. His precision is still focused on within 20 feet. So 20 feet away, Larry. Brown directly arranged to let him go, and the block and pick and tear down Iguodala so that Iguodala couldn't help but pass the ball. After all, Iguodala is not at his peak now, and if a person wants to break the defense of Pierce + Covington, it is tantamount to dreaming.

So with such a big vacancy, even the opponent made it clear for you to shoot, do you block and dismantle and pop up to shoot?

It's a multiple-choice question, Livingston hesitated, he shot, but the shooting percentage was very low, and he hit 2 irons in a row.

However, the Lakers didn't take advantage of the opportunity either, but it didn't matter, slowing down the tempo, that's what the Lakers are good at. The Lakers signed Pierce in a slow-paced game and intense half-court offense and defense, allowing the veteran to give full play to his offensive strength. The hit rate doesn't need to be too good, just get by, anyway, it's OK to let the opponent's hit rate be lower.

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

This allowed the Warriors to quickly go to Iguodala to guard it himself, which caused Pierce's shooting percentage to drop significantly.

Nick. Yang couldn't help but say at this time: Old guy, it's time for me to go, now the team lacks another independent firepower. I'm going up to be a savior. Hurry up and replace me. Of course, it's just Nick. Yang's heart was just talking, he still didn't dare to say this on his mouth, and waited for Larry with his eyes. Brown substitution. It's a pity that the latter doesn't have this mind at all, and would rather the Lakers lack the main scoring point now, and not let Nick. Yang plays.

That's really ...... This is an old stubborn!!!!!!!!!

Nick. Yang is so angry, but you still have to keep smiling, right? Alas, who calls themselves not stars, but the other party is the head coach?

Damn, the trouble comes from the mouth, I can't afford to provoke it, I can't afford to provoke it.

Cole was aroused to fight and he saw Larry. Brown smiled at the bench lineup and made a tactical gesture on the sidelines, and the players on the field immediately understood it when they saw it. Since the conventional routines are not easy to deal with you, let's just compete in execution and tactical ball ability. Let's see who's 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 court to defend tactical balls. In fact, Larry. Brown's team has a very strong ability to defend tactical balls, to a certain extent. What was it like with the Pistons in those years? Tactical balls? Barely hit them. If you want to open up the situation, you only have the ability of yourself. Do you think it's an exaggeration? Not really. Let's just say that the Spurs, a team with such strong tactical execution, played with them, and how many tactical balls were really played in a game? Very few. In fact, it was the individual outbursts of stars, such as Ginobili, that barely won the game. To play tactics in front of them? Sorry, hold it all down for you.

The Lakers can't get to that level at the moment, and the tacit understanding and chemistry are still a little worse. Brown has put a "forward lineup" on the bench and relied entirely on individual ability to fill those gaps. After all, the Pistons' bench lineup doesn't have the Lakers' current bench defensive ability. The Warriors played one, a tactic that turned the opposing team's defense into a cross-misalignment. Livingston first called the high post block of the inside line, but it was blocked but not dismantled, which is commonly known as the dead block, and this inside line basically has no projection threat. But after entering, Livingston was still the first to find someone to play the ball.

It's a point of attraction, and there's no real attacking effect, and of course if you don't defend at all, then Livingston will break through and shoot, and Thackeray is still not afraid. And within 20 feet, his shooting will suddenly become so accurate that it's impossible not to defend. But the Lakers' defenders had just come over, and he gave the ball to Iguodala in the horn position. At this time, it is the essence of this tactic, the inside line that has just executed the block but does not dismantle is not in a hurry to re-enter the inside line, but stays in place and sees the right time to help the teammates who receive the ball in the horn position to continue to cover. At the same time, it empties the space for the inner line. Gives the perimeter players plenty of opportunities to impact.

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

After Iguodala scored a free throw, Larry. Brown quickly called a 20-second timeout, which was used for substitutions. Replaced a few and replaced a few, and at the same time explained a few words, and then returned to the game. The Warriors came up and took a look and found that this lineup was actually Pierce + Josh. The lineup of Smith + Covington + Randle + Yi Jianlian. It is equivalent to becoming a set of "all-forward lines". Zhang Weiping, who saw the Celestial Empire Sports Stage, was a little stunned, because he really rarely saw such a change of formation.

It is a special or unconventional formation, and it is highly targeted.

This lineup's ability to control the ball has weakened, but it doesn't matter, it's slow-paced anyway, Pierce and Josh. Smith can take turns with the ball, and the Warriors' bench lineup isn't as aggressive defensively. Besides, this lineup is not used to attack specifically in the bench time. But......

"Oops, the Lakers didn't shoot this ball, the Warriors' defense is really good, the benches are so neat, no wonder they haven't tasted a defeat so far this year, this is indeed their case." After speaking, Zhang Weiping still wanted to boast, but he saw that the Warriors used the same routine just now, Livingston held the ball, and the inside line blocked but did not dismantle, of course, there are still changes, but in general it is still this model. But this time Iguodala was not able to impact it, because the mobility and physical confrontation performance of this lineup improved, Iguodala was only halfway to be resisted by Randall, a "little bull", although Iguodala was very strong, but he and Randall could not be compared. Randall was 250 pounds when he was in college, but now it's only a lot bigger, and at the same time, he's a little more powerful, so Iguodala and Randall's toughweight classes aren't in the same class. It was basically unrealistic for him to rely on his body to brutally kill Randall. It was okay to stop and shoot, but it was a tactical ball, and he immediately executed the next step.

Transferred the ball to Barbossa, who was standing in the bottom corner.

Barbosa was about to shoot a three-pointer, but found himself struggling to shoot because a tall figure had moved away from the Lakers' interior. He is Yi Jianlian. Yi Jianlian's mobility is very good, he used to be bad at confrontation, he was too thin at that time, and now there is no problem at all. Besides, that's not the essence of this lineup.

Barbosa changed to a breakthrough, although he has reached the end of his career, but it is not so difficult to break through a 211CM big man at the three-point line, and after cutting in, he can shoot? When he came to a sudden stop, another person appeared in front of him, and he was Josh. Smith. I rub, why is it endless? Barbosa's height and elasticity are inferior to Josh. Smith had too much, so he could only pass the ball in the air again and pass it back. The ball was almost stealed, and Pierce touched the ball, but unfortunately he was still a little slower now, and could only watch as the ball was picked up by Livingston of the Warriors again.

However, Pierce was clever enough to take a step back and step in parallel, which is a standing step that is used to defend breakaways, as opposed to the front and back steps that are dedicated to projection and dry pulling. Since this ball Pierce stepped out of the parallel step, that is a meaning, you vote, this position brother let you vote, you have the ability to vote, you vote I will definitely ignore you.

This tactic is actually a failure to play here, because time is running out, and he has no choice to give Livingston the ball in this position. People are stepping on flat steps waiting for you to break through, if this is still sudden, it is really Pierce as air, but unfortunately he is not a college player, and his success rate is too low. Because since he was seriously injured, he has long lost that kind of quick first step, and the first step of explosiveness is gone, and he still wants to burst out? Isn't that self-inflicted?

So looking at the offensive timing, Livingston could only take a three-point shot.

Bang ~ hit the iron and popped up, obviously it was not thrown in, but this long rebound was caught by the Warriors.

This ball makes Larry. Brown was not satisfied, and even if it was a long rebound, he would not allow his opponent to easily get it on the Lakers' defense.

In 24 seconds, he attacked again, this time Livingston still wanted to cover and play misplaced, but the Lakers' lineup made him unable to take advantage of it at all. There is no one who is shorter than him and thinner than him, so he wants to play back, and the advantage of misalignment is completely gone, even if the Warriors create a transfer opportunity on the strong and weak side this time, it will not work well. Livingston backs Josh. Smith, the ball was almost not blocked by the extremely bouncy Smith.

This lineup is equivalent to a big bench attack point for the Warriors, and Livingston's back shot is also blocked.

The single-point explosion that made the Warriors have problems now.

Forcing you to play tactical ball with me.

Larry. Brown quietly let the Warriors' bench shoot two shots, which is really not something that the average head coach can do. It seems that as long as he is given the right person in hand, his defensive ability to deal with it is indeed a bit high-pressure and terrifying. Kerr also called a timeout, and he ordered several tactical balls off the court to get up and knock Larry down. Brown. The bench lineup is less free to play because the individual ability of the players is not so strong, encountering problems, and relying more on tactics and execution.

Seriously, this is the first time Kerr and the Warriors have met this season, so it's a bit of a tweak.

Now that the Warriors' two strongest players on the bench can't open the situation and the situation is contained, Kerr must have to think of another way. As soon as the timeout came up, the Warriors ran a new tactic, this tactic is called Chin.Floppy, and the ffense is also a hybrid tactic of Princeton in Chinese. It is an offensive tactic that tears apart the opponent's defence through running and short passes. Cole does have some skills, and in order to deal with various situations, he has a lot of back-ups.

No. 4 Marlis. Speights came up to block high and made a fixed-point cover near 45 degrees from the three-point line, freeing up the No. 2 player, Barbossa, to shake off the defense and go to the top arc to catch the ball. After Livingston passed to the former, he immediately went to the Lakers' restricted area, during which of course the defender would not let him in easily, but the Warriors' No. 5 position is Festus. Azeri didn't know when he had been mentioned to the high position, and Livingston was going to pass by him. With the help of cover, rush into the inside line.

This is the first Chin of Chin.Floppy, and the arrangement is complete. At the same time, the number five position, which had covered him, immediately moved to the right, a technical move called "y". He's here waiting, picking the opportunity to move on to the next step. At this time, Barbosa immediately gave the ball to Marris, who had just made a fixed-point cover for himself. Speights, and then also at the same time cut inside without the ball. At this time, the No. 5 position, which was just moved around the top arc called "Y", came in handy, and immediately covered to help the team's No. 2 position, which is Barbossa, successfully enter the other end of the Lakers' interior line. This is the second "Chin".

Now it is equivalent to the No. 1 and No. 2 positions are in the low post, one left and one right, in order to open up space, the No. 4 position needs to have the ability to hit three-point shots. Speights doesn't have any three-point range. But in the offseason, he worked fixed-point three-pointers according to Kerr's requirements, and only practiced two 45-degree angles, so he has improved quickly this season.

The ability to strike at fixed points is there. If you let him go, he can throw himself in.

At this time, the most sassy operation appeared, and as the person who made up the defense came, the No. 4 position Maris. Speights would actually give the ball to the No. 5 position in the top arc "Y". He and Iguodala at the No. 3 near the three-point line on the other side, while cutting in from the outside, what is this for? Isn't there already a Warriors player standing on one side of the low post inside? Still want to squeeze in? Is it to increase the congestion of the low level? No, of course not. These two people are designed to go down at the same time, and they want to go to this position.

What are you going to do to get in? Cover at the same time on the sides? This means...... The No. 1 and No. 2 positions that went in on both sides can use this left-to-right pick-and-roll cover to quickly fly back and re-stand outside the three-point line. At this time, the No. 5 position can pass the ball to anyone according to the opportunity, and whoever has a better chance will give it to whomever has the best chance. At this point, it basically disrupted the opponent's defensive rhythm, and this ball was given to Barbosa, because Barbosa's three-point shot was significantly better. Livingston was given a two-point shot that could only be used to attract the defense after an outside pass or a one-step dribble to 20 feet inside. No matter how you look at it, it's better on Barbossa's side.

Barbossa received the ball and was about to attack, but he suddenly found that the Lakers still had players to follow. And not thrown off?

No, it's not that they weren't thrown off, but the Lakers changed their own defense, but did they defend it like this?

Hey, it's not that simple. Kerr stood on the side, 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 stable as a mountain, and he didn't say much. This is? Why? Does he think he can still prevent it? Impossible, right? Just thinking about it, the Warriors changed their tactics and passed the ball to the No. 5 position Festus next to Barbosa, but still did not go in, but saw that the situation was not good, and immediately executed the block, so that Barbosa could go directly to the other side of the three-point attack.

Celestial Empire Sports Station.

"What an offensive tactic! It's a tactic that's rarely seen before, and I think it's a combination of Princeton tactics and the Warriors' own pick-and-roll system. This Warriors, this Kerr, it's not easy. That's amazing. Zhang Weiping's sigh is no problem, because this tactic runs very clearly and is very good-looking, even the pseudo-fans watching on the Internet feel that this tactical ball is not ordinary.

"The Lakers are in danger this time! This ball Warriors can actually run out with a bench lineup, and the team's execution is far beyond that of ordinary league teams. I don't know if the players in our country can learn this tactical ball? The question of meteor shower was asked again, and Zhang Weiping secretly rolled his eyes in his heart. But this time it was not that there was nothing to say, but that he was truly speechless:

I didn't see what I just said, thank God that half of the execution of our national team can be executed!

This is the No. 1 team in the NBA, last year's Finals team, what do you think?

It's not like that, let alone our country, there are not many national teams in the world that can run out, okay! Is...... Can't you ask a little about nutrition? For example, why didn'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 knew that in the camera of the live broadcast room, there was an amazing scene.

At the moment when Barbosa was about to come around with the help of a pick-and-roll, a Lakers player suddenly saved, and he was Covington. Covington's save was too sudden, and he almost gave Barbossa, who is only over 190cm tall, a big hot pot.

Naturally, the ball would not go in, and even in order not to be blocked, the ball did not even touch the basket, and was protected by Yi Jianlian when it hit the rebound, and the Lakers completed this tactical defense of the Warriors.

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

Warriors head coach Kerr said in his heart.

And Larry. Brown smiled lightly in his heart: Boy, Jiang is still old and spicy, do you think I am a wasted person?

This "all-forward defensive lineup" is Larry. Brown specializes in suppressing a squad with bench bandits, and everyone can defend it, even Yi Jianlian. It's hard to say how effective it will be, but at least it can guarantee that the Warriors will not be given a chance to shoot unguarded at any time. This is also a very mobile and confrontational lineup. Brown really has a few brushes to piece together such a defensive five.

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

The Lakers began to slowly gain the upper hand in the bench period, although the singles and hard work were the majority, but this is Larry. Brown's team cadence. I just need to make sure that your hit rate is lower than mine. And as long as your shooting percentage is lower than mine, then I can rely on the position ball and the attacking ball to climb back step by step.

How so? In short, the current rhythm is the rhythm of the Lakers, not the Warriors.

In the bench round, the Lakers took advantage of a big advantage.
