Chapter Eighty-Five: Overall Strategy (Christmas Plus!) )
Moreira was indeed playing singles, and he was quite tough, and after Tang Shuai told him that McGary's left side was a defensive weakness, he went all out to hit the left.
Not to mention, this really worked, McGarry didn't know why, the center of gravity on the left side always retreated when defending, and he got to the basket after a while, and a small hook on the left side actually won the opening two points.
Cassel's eyes lit up suddenly at this time, and he looked at Tang Shuai with strange eyes, speaking of which McGarry was last year's 20th pick rookie, his rebounding ability was exceptionally good, and his strong body did not fall behind in the confrontation with his opponent, how could Moreira succeed so easily?
Tang Shuai showed a subtle smile at the corner of his mouth at this time, yesterday when he was scanning the basketball bag, he found that McGarry's power package was a weakened version, to say that he had only encountered retired players before, he went back and asked Duffy to search for some information about McGarry, and the result was natural, it was found that McGarry had undergone surgery on his left shoulder and left back, although he is now recovering, but the shadow of the injury makes McGarry dare not use the left half of his body to exert force.
Having mastered the details that coaches may not pay attention to, he naturally wants to make good use of it.
When the Clippers scored the first game, Williams couldn't sit still, got up from his seat, and shouted at his teammates: "Get moving!" Move it! ”
The Thunder's point guard, Mar Christon, who has three blue skill packs and played well in yesterday's win over the Hornets, controlled the ball to the frontcourt and then gestured for his teammates to come up and block it.
Compared with the Clippers, although the team is full of temporary players, Williams has been looking for candidates to start training a month ago, and their tactical literacy is very high.
The Thunder team started to play tactics according to their usual training, but what they didn't expect was that the Clippers didn't care how the Thunder attacked, and they directly put on a 2-3 joint defense, and the team's defensive center of gravity shrank inward at once.
As soon as the Clippers put on this battle, the head coach of the Thunder team, William, turned his head to look at Cassel standing on the sidelines with a solemn face, originally he thought that Cassel, a star coach, did not know how to coach at all, but he did not expect to seize the weakness of the Thunder team at the beginning, this coach is not simple!
Williams felt unfathomable about Cassel, but Cassel himself was stunned, he didn't tell the players, and he put on a 2-3 joint defense at the beginning, which was clearly a mockery of the opponent's outside three-point shooting ability.
The most effective way to crack the 2-3 joint defense is to shoot three-pointers at the top of the arc and on both sides, but the Thunder's three outside lines poured the ball outside for a long time, and no one made a three-point shot.
This time, Cassel understands that the Thunder team has no three-point shooting ability on the outside!
The summer league is different from the NBA regular season, although it is the same game, but few team coaches will know the opponent's lineup, on the one hand, because it is very common to change players during the league, the team lineup is extremely unstable, and on the other hand, on the other hand, the general head coach is to examine the players, the victory or defeat is secondary, who will bother to investigate the opponent?
He naturally looked at Tang Shuai, extremely curious, how did this Tang Shuai know the weakness of the Thunder team?
The Thunder players were outside for a long time, and finally it was Criston who forced a breakthrough inside.
The Clippers' defensive center of gravity shrank rapidly, and although Criston's individual ability was good, he was not Westbrook or Rose, and after rushing into the crowd, he was naturally pulled out of the ball.
Tang Shuai, who had been waiting for an opportunity for a long time, snatched the ball from Criston's hand, and gave it to Wilcox on the outside, Wilcox made another long throw, to Hamilton, who was about to go, Hamilton got rid of the defender, and once again staged a strong slam dunk in the face of the empty blue.
At 4:0, the Clippers swept away the decline of yesterday's game and played quite actively at the beginning.
Hamilton, who succeeded in slam dunk, looked quite excited, and when he returned to defense, he and Tang Shuai gave a full high-five, but as a result, his palm hurt, and he covered his hand to look at Tang Shuai, who was half a head shorter than himself and lost a lot of weight, why is his strength so strong?
Of course, this was just a small episode in the game, and the Thunder pushed back to the frontcourt, but the Clippers recognized the Thunder's three-point shot as a weakness, and once again unreasonably put on a 2-3 defense.
Williams on the sidelines jumped up angrily, but he couldn't do anything but go crazy.
In the end, the Thunder had no choice but to shoot three-pointers.
Tang Shuai directly shouted a rebound after interfering with the Thunder players who were shooting.
McGarry's rebounding is very good, and the purple rebounding skill package is the most direct explanation, but at this moment he has a feeling of despair, after the Thunder's three-point shot, the Clippers' Moreira and Griffin's two interior lines did not go to the gun, but stuck him, making him completely immobile.
How can anyone play the game like this, this is just a card position! Why do you have to do this!
The Thunder's three-point shot jumped out of the basket, and the rebound was grabbed by the shrinking Hamilton, and McGarry judged the landing point of the ball, but unfortunately it was sandwiched by two people like a meatloaf, and he really couldn't jump.
After Hamilton grabbed the ball, he immediately threw it to Tang Shuai on the outside, and Tang Shuai, who had been prepared for a long time, quickly whipped to the frontcourt, and scored 2 points for the Clippers with an easy layup.
The Clippers are playing with momentum.
Williams had to call a timeout, and if this continued, the Thunder would be completely targeted.
After the timeout, the Thunder replaced the team's Criston with Bobby Brown, who was obviously inferior but had some three-point shooting ability.
Seeing that the Thunder team made a substitution, Tang Shuai called the starting players over, and after a whisper, the Clippers immediately changed their defensive strategy, from 2-3 joint defense to man-to-man defense.
The two strong points of the Thunder team itself are Criston and McGary, McGarry enjoys the treatment of a double bag, and Brown is not a good organizer, and the Thunder's offense is chaotic.
At this moment, Williams was completely stunned, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, what kind of magic power does this Cassel have, it can react so quickly and do it so targeted, it is completely a feeling of not giving a chance.
He couldn't believe that this Clippers team actually lost to the Magic by nearly 20 points yesterday?!
Tang Shuai was indescribably happy at this time, originally he just wanted to give it a try yesterday, but he didn't expect it to really work, this scanning function that he didn't care about was originally a little buggy, it seems that there are some bugs?
