Can Min Congda be surprised, the tactical system set by Cricket Cole is not easy for me to crack!

The Clippers' offense seems fluid right now, but any tactic or technique is built on a foundation: how much defensive intensity you can withstand.

It's true for the team and for the individual.

Two players, when undefended, can make the same technical moves and have the same shooting percentage.

Once faced with defense, one starts to move deformously, and the other is still natural and smooth, then the ability of these two people is very different.

Basketball skills and tactics are just that, professional players have practiced from childhood to adulthood, and they have been killed layer by layer, how can they not.

It's just that the NBA is the highest level of confrontation, and you can show your skills and tactics here is a reflection of your ability.

Team tactics are the same thing, the team as a whole, theoretically all kinds of techniques and tactics can be played.

You let the Grizzlies practice their tactics without defense, and he can give them a show.

However, on defense, according to the ability of the players and the coach's ability to adjust, there is a gap in the level of different teams.

The Clippers obviously have a lot of ability and coaching skills, but there are two problems, one is that the players are too young, inexperienced, and their individual abilities have not yet reached their peak.

The second is that the coach has not adjusted enough, and the team has not run in well enough, so when facing a more high-intensity defense, their tactics cannot be used.

Didn't the Grizzlies know the intensity of the first half? Didn't you know the intensity until the second half?

No, the problem with the Grizzlies is that in the first half they wanted to go up the intensity, and the available force was not in the right direction.

It's like you want to push a car forward, but its wheels are horizontal, so you don't see if you can push it.

If you want to push, you either need to push in a different direction, or adjust the direction of the wheels.

Min Congda is teaching the Grizzlies to change direction and force hard, putting the focus of defense on Tony Allen, not on Jordan Jr.

It is only natural that Hollins wants Jordan Jr. to be the defensive pillar of the team, covering a wide range from the interior to the line.

Jordan Jr. may have such talent, but now his ability is not enough to support him to do so, he can't do it.

At the very least, he can't do it against the Clippers because Randolph has him.

Min Congda realized this and thought that it would be good for Jordan Jr. to do his job of protecting the basket.

Defend the three-acre under the basket, control the backcourt rebound, and your mission is accomplished.

Don't think about the sweep on the line, don't think about Griffin, who can you get with your little short arm?

Like Randolph and Gasol Jr., settle down with peace of mind, guard the three-second zone, don't give the basket an easy-ball, and don't easily send a frontcourt rebound.

The real defensive eye is Tony Allen, let him be a mad dog and bite every Clippers player he can.

Slow down the Clippers' ball and pause every time the ball goes from the outside.

Because the ball carrier has to face Tony Allen, you don't protect the ball without stopping, and you have to get a steal if you rush out of the ball.

As a result, the Grizzlies as a whole feel that the intensity has come up, because the whole team has found the direction of force.

Griffin and Jordan Jr. didn't have to go to delay anymore, resulting in the back door being opened for not being able to come back.

The Grizzlies can defend other teams with a delay in the line, especially against teams with a lot of pick-and-rolls.

The anti-clippers are not good, and there are too many back doors brought by the pass cut, and you can't prevent it, so you just squat in the pit.

Min Congda was very accurate, and he wanted to remind certain teams in the previous game.

It's a pity that most of the teams Min Congda can't find anyone to remind you, can the human coach listen to you?

Grizzlies are different, Chris Wallace and Min Congda have a good relationship, the key is that Min Congda speaks, Wallace really listens.

At the end of the third quarter, the Clippers had already encountered problems, and the young people were inexperienced and a little confused.

The Grizzlies are a team that drives morale on defense, and the more beautiful the defense, the higher the morale.

FedEx Arena is in a frenzied atmosphere, and the time has come to test the Clippers players' ability to withstand pressure.

Before the start of the fourth quarter, Dunleavy drew a strategy for the players, asking them to withstand the pressure and find confidence.

At this time, Dunleavy still used Harden, George, and Curry to form the backcourt, and Randolph and Gasol Jr. to form the frontcourt.

This is the team's most talented lineup, and if it can't be played at the critical moment, Baron Davis will replace George with a back three.

The three-guard lineup was also a classic Clippers scorer last season, and everyone is familiar with it.

Steve Cole offered a different opinion at this point.

He said: "Mike, I think there are some changes to the roster and not to play double inside. ”

Dunleavy has always valued Cole's opinion, and said, "Then who do you say you use?" ”

Kerr looked at the bench, thought for a while, and said, "Go to Nick Young, use him for Zack." ”

"With Nick Young? And what about defense? ”

"Mark is still against Griffin, Jordan Jr. will go with him, and let Nick Young push him away from the three-second zone!"

Dunleavy hesitated for a few seconds, then decided to agree with Cole.

Cole always had some whimsy on the spot, probably learned from Phil Jackson's side.

The difference between a top coach and an ordinary coach is whether he can use every card in his hand well.

Some coaches can lead the team to play very well, but in the team's 15-man squad, he will only use seven or eight people.

The rest of the people at the end of the bench are, in their opinion, the number of people, that is, the main force to rest, or the garbage time to use.

And the top coaches will make every player on the bench play their part, not just go through the motions.

In practice, Kerr was impressed by Nick Young's three-point shot, a young man who always had a big smile on his face and played imaginative — of course, mainly with his shooting imagination and daring to shoot from any position.

Such a player would not have been able to play under Dunleavy, but Kerr felt that he could use it.

On the Clippers coaching staff, Kerr is almost equal to Dunleawick, because Kerr was not recruited by Dunleawick, but Mr. Smart's "favorite general."

As a result, Nick Young was put on the lineup, and the Clippers played a one-big and four-small lineup.

Min Congda looked at the Clippers' lineup, and he turned out to be on Nick Young?

What's going on? Min Congda faintly felt that it was not good.

"This TM space is so open, targeting Tony Allen, you want him to run to his death, right?"

Sure enough, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Clippers' offensive formation was completely stretched.

Curry broke through with the help of cover, distributed the ball to Harden, Harden broke through again, Allen has three heads and six arms, and it would be good to be able to help defend two.

Harden gave the ball to Nick Young in the bottom corner, he really couldn't care about it, Nick Young hit a three-point shot!

This three-point shot sounded the horn of the Clippers' frenzy in the final quarter.

The Grizzlies want to punish Nick Young on the offensive end.

But Jordan Jr. didn't have the ability to attack on his own.

He's been misplaced on the inside.

A teammate passed the ball to him, and Paul George cut off the ball in his hand with a scramble.

Don't underestimate the intensity of the NBA, it's not easy to ask for the ball in a simple position.

The all-powerful center in ordinary games, when it comes to the NBA, he can't get the ball.

George steals, the Clippers fight back again, Curry pushes forward, and Gasol Jr. is behind.

Xiao Jia glanced at his eyes and made a long pass to Nick Young in the bottom corner of the right side, and Nick Young received the ball and shot again for three points.

Again!

Two consecutive three-pointers at the beginning of the fourth quarter stunned the Clippers.

also stunned Min Congda.

"It's... What kind of formation is this? Very 4+1, huh? ”
