Tyronn Lue was a little confused when he saw the content of this note, and he read it again, making sure that it was Gasol Jr. who controlled the ball, not Gasol Jr. who organized.

It's normal to let Gasol Jr. organize the offense, he is already an excellent playmaker, averaging 5.3 assists per game in the regular season, second only to Curry and Harden in assists on the team, and one of the Clippers' big three passers.

In the playoffs, Gasol Jr.'s assists declined, and in the finals, it slipped to 2.1 times, halved.

Because he's going to put a lot of energy into fighting Dwight Howard, it's a big drain on him.

Moreover, the Clippers took the path of winning defensively, and the pass-and-cut offense was intermittent, and Gasol Jr. did not have much room to play.

Another point is that Randolph is suppressed, and his performance will also be affected.

Overall, in the first two games, the Heat did a good job on the inside, so that the two heroes played unsatisfactory.

It's the right idea to let Gasol Jr. play, but what the hell is it to let him control the ball?

Gasol Jr. is a center forward, how can he control the ball? It's hard to let a center dribble across the half-court.

If you change to another coach, you will not be affected by the general manager's life, and I will listen to the advice given by the general manager, and I will not listen to it if it is too outrageous.

But Tyronn Lue pointed to the small note, last time a blank note turned the tide, this time gave clear guidance, how could he not listen?

So, when Director Lu paused, he talked about this arrangement, "Next... Ahem, give possession to Gasol Jr., let him Mark dribble through the half court and organize the team's offense. ”

It sounds a bit outrageous, but the Clippers players are expressionless and seem to be saying, "Okay, no problem." ”

Even Mike Malone didn't react, standing aside and listening silently, silently taking small notes in his heart.

It was Director Lu's turn to be calm, and asked, "Uh... Mark, I said let you keep the ball through the half court and organize the attack, you're all right? ”

Little Gasol nodded and said, "No problem, I can, I've practiced this." ”

"Practiced? When? ”

"Uh... In the regular season, there was one game against the Timberwolves and another game against the Pacers, and that's how we played. Stephen handed me the ball, I dribbled through the half-court playmaking, one big and four small, running, it worked well, I knew how to handle the ball. ”

Tyronn Lue was a little surprised, how did I not know? Why can't I remember? Have you ever fought like this?

What kind of magical personnel arrangement is this, let the center go to the dribble organization, what's wrong with this world?

The timeout ended soon and players from both sides re-entered the game, with Tyronn Lue quietly asking Mike Malone, "Did we really let Marc Gasol control the ball?" ”

Mike Malone said, "Oh, sometimes they do. The blurring of player positions, the comprehensiveness of functions, and the integration of offense and defense have been the focus of the team's tactical strategy experiment this season, and letting the center forward play the ball is also part of this experiment, and we have been doing it. ”

"Oh... Is it? That... So we're going to let Curry play center as well? Let him go to the basket to grab a rebound? ”

"This... He doesn't have that ability for the time being, but Harden probably could, and he did a good job defending today. ”

Tyronn Lue can be said to have been confused for a whole season, and he doesn't know what the whole team is doing, and the team is winning anyway.

The advantage of Min Congda's handing over the note is that the Clippers' rich staffing and system can be reactivated.

There are so many people who can play and there are so many tactics, because he is conservative and safe, and the score has become a defensive battle in the 90s and 00s, no wonder it is a pain for him.

The Clippers' sideline ball, Harden passed the ball to Gasol Jr., and Gasol Jr. ran the ball directly to the center circle to receive the ball.

It was a problem for Howard defensively, who had to pull to the three-point line and leave a large area behind him free.

Harden came over to block Gasol Jr. at this time, Curry cut the basket in the air, Gasol Jr. suddenly made a diagonal pass, to George in the bottom corner, George directly made a three-point shot and hit!

The Heat's defense line is obviously circled and chaotic, what kind of offensive routine and formation is this TM?

Guards cover for centers, which is not to say that there are no ones in NBA history, but there are.

At the beginning, Marlon Stockton was said to be a Utah double brake block, and people thought that Malone covered Stockton, and Stockton passed the ball to Malone to score, which is logical and obvious.

But in the playoffs, finals, and high-intensity confrontation games, Stockton will also find another way, as a coverer, to cover Malone or other teammates, and shoot three points by cutting the ball outside.

But then, the Heat were even more confused.

The Clippers hit a three-pointer to bring the deficit back to eight points, and Nash held the ball and missed a mid-range jumper after consecutive covers.

Nash's hand in this game is far worse than the previous one, and the veteran is easy to be ghostly and unstable.

Gasol Jr. grabbed the backcourt rebound, gave the ball to Curry, and dodged the opponent's cut.

Curry dribbled a few times and returned the ball to Gasol Jr., who dribbled across half court to the top of the arc to organize the offense in a decent manner.

What did Howard do? Sticker or not? Can't go back to the three-second zone? I can only stand at the three-point line to defend.

Someone else to help defend it? I'm sorry, Gasol Jr. came out with the ball very quickly, and the Clippers players had a lot of space.

You're coming to help defend and you're going to run a long way, which will give your defense a lot of space.

One big and four small, the other four are all characters who can shoot three-pointers and attack with the ball.

If the Clippers' power forward is a forward who doesn't have the range and the ability to attack independently, the Heat can use the rotation to press Gasol Jr., but not now.

Leonard has already cut into the interior in one step, stirred up the Heat defense, and crossed with Curry to switch positions, George covered Curry, ran to the bottom corner, and was empty again.

When the ball arrived, Gasol Jr.'s ball was passed diagonally, and Curry received the ball and shot a three-point shot, and then hit!

The Clippers made two three-pointers in a row to stop the Heat again!

The ball was undefensible, the defensive strategy on the field was completely out of order, and Spo had to adjust.

Otherwise, the game will quickly go into the Clippers' three-point practice game.

Tyronn Lue is very excited inside, this is the Clippers' offense!

Why didn't I think of it before the game?

It's not that you didn't think of it, you just didn't know it.

Malone and the other assistant coaches knew about it, but they didn't dare to use it.

It's too bold, it's too risky, but it works.

The Clippers have this resource to play like this, one big and four small, the defense can not suffer, and there is a center like Gasol Jr. who is very organized and dribbles.

But if you change to an ordinary center, this set can't be played, and you have to think of other ways.

Spo had no choice but to replace Bosh first and replace Odom.

Subsequently, the team's defensive strategy changed to pure man-to-man defense.

The Heat's use of pure human markers is definitely good for the Clippers.

In the first two games, the rotation of the Heat, Howard's high-coverage defense, and Wade's repair of the backcourt all had a good effect.

As a team with obvious holes on the defensive end, cooperative defense and defense assistance are the best way to make up for it.

It can be used to mark people, and it will be difficult to fill the hole, and Spo also had to replace Nash in advance and replace it with Kerr.

Wade missed a mid-range shot, Howard got the rebound under the basket, and Gasol Jr. fouled Howard to the free throw line.

Howard missed two free throws to the cheers of the fans, and Leonard got the rebound.

The ball was given to Gasol Jr., the backcourt of the Heat immediately came to interfere, Gasol Jr. dodged the ball with a beautiful back dribble, immediately passed the ball to Harden, Harden accelerated and broke through in the middle, and the Heat man marked, but Wade did not follow, Harden rushed directly to the basket, empty, and made a layup!

This pause is in vain.

In just three minutes, the Clippers stretched the gap between the two sides to 13 points.

Spoo hugged his chest on the sidelines, a blank expression on his face.

How to defend the Clippers' open-and-close offensive play?

Either it's purely human-staring, and then it's like just now, it's easy to be torn open.

Either it is to further speed up the change of defense and use the speed to make up for the cracks in the space.

But how can a senior team like the Heat speed up again?

At the end of the first quarter, the Clippers were 35-24, leading the Heat by 11 points.

35 points, the highest score in the first quarter of the Clippers' three games in the Finals.

Gasol Jr. controlled the ball over half court as a setter and overwhelmed the Heat.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Clippers entered the second team rotation, and Tyronn Lue took the lead, and the substitution became bold.

Livingston, who didn't get a chance to play in the first two games, came on the field, faced Kerr, dribbled with his back and carried it inside, and hit a mid-range shot after turning.

Among the Heat's point guards, neither Kerr nor Nash have the ability to lock up Livingston.

Nash aside, Kerr still performed very well in the first two games of defending Curry.

Small, energetic, good at dogfighting, constantly pestering Curry.

In the second game, he pestered Curry for almost the entire game, and Curry's key shots in the final moments were also defended by Kerr.

However, Livingston is different from Curry, his technical characteristics are completely different from Curry, it is a traditional genre, and he has an absolute advantage in height and arm span.

Cole is facing such a alignment, how to defend against it? You can only top the plate, or take a risk before grabbing.

The top and bottom plate is likely to be unbearable, and the result of grabbing before the risk is out of position.

One-on-one man-to-man defense, out of position is very dangerous.

On the outside of the Heat, Ray Allen missed.

Gasol Jr. won the rebound again, and Tyronn Lue thought this trick was useful, so he simply didn't let Gasol Jr. go to rest.

Continue to play in the second quarter! Gasol Jr. almost didn't die of exhaustion, but he could only grit his teeth and continue to play in the finals.

Dribbling over the half, Livingston sank directly to the low post, asked for the ball with his back, and Gasol Jr. quickly passed.

Livingston received the ball, dribbled inside, turned around, and hit a mid-range hit to score 4 points in a row!

The Clippers stretched the margin to 15 points, the largest margin since the Finals.

The Heat began to be a little anxious, and in the subsequent offense, Wade held the ball and rushed to the basket, and the referee gave the whistle and fouled.

Wade hit both free throws to close the score slightly.

Then on defense, the Heat repeated their old tricks, strengthened their physical confrontation, and it was Haslem again, who pushed down Butler in the defense under the basket.

Butler was young and energetic, but he learned his lesson and did not clash with Haslem and went to serve.

The Clippers' offensive tempo took a bit of a hit, with Butler missing a jumper after receiving the ball.

Bosh won the rebound, the Heat counterattacked, Wade broke through, and the ball was distributed to Bosh who kept up.

Bosh used his feet to dodge Anthony Davis' defense and scored a pick-and-roll with his left hand.

When Bosh moves to fight, he is obviously more powerful than sitting and fighting.

Relying on the strengthening of this wave of defensive confrontation, the Heat played several counterattacks in a row, narrowing the gap and chasing 8 points.

Tyronn Lue immediately called a timeout, he knew, he could look at the tips again!

It's just relying on the stratagem of Manager Smart, and it's impossible to figure it out on your own.

There is no way, not at all.

Director Lu took out the second ball of paper and glanced at it: "Let Milicic kill Howard." ”

Tyronn Lue understood and put away the paper ball, replaced Gasol Jr., and brought Milicic on the field.

Before the game, Tyronn Lue whispered a few words in Milicic's ear, and Milicic nodded, understanding his mission for tonight.

Since you are playing with the heat, then my clippers can also redeem with you.

And we're the top spot, and we won't let you suffer too much.
