Chapter 243: Cole is guessed again
The Timberwolves players are excited.
But at this time, Su Chen was not as easy as a player.
Although they now lead the Warriors 10-3, as long as the Warriors find the right way to play, the seven-point gap can be recovered by three rounds.
Before Kerr called a timeout, Su Chen had already given the drawn offensive tactics board to Milosevic and asked Milosevic to arrange the offensive tactics first.
As for him.
【Eagle Eye】Activation!
Su Chen retreated behind everyone, seemingly next to Milosevic, watching Milosevic arrange tactics from the sidelines.
However, in fact, Su Chen was looking at the tactical board in Cole's hand.
Before the start of the game, Su Chen had already put this mark on Cole.
The next defensive round is quite crucial!
As far as the Warriors are concerned, without Thompson, they can't break the box-one tactic at all.
Coach Nurse proved this with the Raptors.
The current lineup of the Warriors, excluding Thompson, is not much better than the Warriors who were defeated by the Raptors.
Brewer's three-point is shaky, Draymond Green's three-point is mediocre, and Chandler doesn't have any three-pointers at all.
Except for Thompson, everyone else's three-point is a level that can be put down.
Now Kerr wants to break the box-one tactic, and Thompson is the only weapon in Kerr's hands.
How Kerr uses Thompson and how Su Chen defends Thompson can be said to be the winner and loser of this series.
Compared with putting the winner and loser on Curry, Su Chen is still willing to choose Thompson.
Peak Curry's use of box-one is still good.
And if Curry doesn't handle the ball on the offensive end, Curry on the defensive end is a relatively weak defensive point.
Curry's defensive awareness is in place, but it's still not strong enough.
Why does Curry want to gain muscle, even if he knows that gaining muscle will make his three-point accuracy decrease, he still chooses to gain muscle.
It's because Curry is on the defensive end, even if he judges some defensive options correctly, he can't play against other players.
After gaining muscle, Curry only entered the defensive line.
But there are already two people targeting Curry, and there are fewer resources to call on to prevent Thompson.
At this time, the use of [Eagle Eye] is extremely important.
"So that's the case, it seems that Cole has really improved a lot."
After seeing Cole's tactical board, Su Chen smiled in his heart.
At this time, Milosevic was talking about the layout of the offensive end, and Su Chen immediately took over the tactical board when he saw this.
The whole movement is smooth and looks very natural.
"I'm going to lay out the defensive point, Rondo, you have to pay more attention to this point, this is Thompson's most comfortable point, whether he runs forward or backward, you have to pay attention to this is probably the landing point of Thompson's run."
"George, you have to keep an eye on Curry all the time, you have to watch Curry wherever he goes in this game, and I will always see him sit on the bench and come back!"
"Batum, you don't get involved in wrapping Curry, but in this position on the right side of the free throw line, you have to always pay attention to the passing down."
Su Chen took the tactical board and laid out a strategy to counter Cole according to the schematic diagram of Cole's tactical board.
Compared to last season, Kerr's current tactics will add a few more confused runs, which will deceive defenders.
However, as long as you know where the opponent's tactics are located, no matter how complicated and confusing the layout is, it is actually meaningless.
Hearing Su Chen's arrangement, Rondo glanced at Su Chen in surprise.
In fact, it was the first time that Rondo had seen Su Chen's ability.
This kind of tactical arrangement, Su Chen's previous players also know what to say and what not to say, although they are shocked, but without Su Chen's permission, they will not talk nonsense about the coach's coaching methods.
Su Chen is either in charge of the Timberwolves or the Clippers, and belongs to the top coaches in the league.
These things will offend Su Chen when they say them, they have a good relationship with Su Chen, there is no need to offend Su Chen because of a quick mouth.
In order to recuperate, Su Chen did not use Hawkeye, an ability that consumes mental power, in the regular season.
And the first two wheels are also considered easy, and there is no need to use them.
The other players were puzzled when they heard this.
But Rondo was not puzzled at all, but was surprised, surprised by Su Chen's ability.
In fact, Rondo can sometimes see through some of the opponent's tactics, including when he later asked Cousins to find a no-man's place to guard, that is, he guessed the landing point of the opponent's tactics.
Su Chen's arrangement obviously guessed the other party's landing point.
Rondo can guess some tactics, but only some tactics that are not so complicated, or the kind of tactics that are very common.
However, Su Chen's description that Cole's tactics were not simple tactics, and they were also deceptive.
Can you guess where this falls?
With Rondo's unruly character, after being surprised, he just didn't believe it.
Rondo has some arrogant and arrogant character, even if it is some famous handsome, Rondo should not accept it.
He and Carlisle have different coaching philosophies and can be conflicting.
Originally, Rondo was quite tolerant of Su Chen, mainly because winning the game could cover up a lot of contradictions, and the team did get very good results under the leadership of Su Chen.
Even in the playoffs, there are no losing games.
That left Rondo at least not in trouble.
But if you want to say that Rondo is really convinced by Su Chen, there is not much.
In the case that Rondo was not really convinced by Su Chen, hearing that Su Chen actually predicted the landing point of such a complicated pass, made Rondo feel that Su Chen was a little too arrogant.
But Rondo didn't immediately express his displeasure.
It's not that he instigated Su Chen, he wants to express his dissatisfaction, and he will express his dissatisfaction with Su Chen after Su Chen's prediction of the ball fails.
So Su Chen arranged it, and he listened.
Besides, it was such a high-level competition now, and he didn't want to lose in this place, even if he was right, a conflict with Su Chen would make the team lose.
It's time to pause.
Many of these people, like Rondo, have not experienced Su Chen's tactical arrangement.
But this time is already about to play.
They are also not as rebellious as Rondo, thinking about theorizing with the coach.
Get back on the field.
Warriors possession.
Curry had possession of the ball past half court, but just after halftime, George had already stepped up to stare at him.
Just like Su Chen said, no matter where Curry goes, George is responsible for targeting Curry.
Curry was guarding the ball and wanted to rush over, but George came so early to press because he wasn't in Curry's shooting range yet.
Curry did shoot in the midfield during the training warm-up, but this is the game, it's still different.
So George, who stepped forward in advance, only needed to defend Curry's breakout, not Curry's shot.
Pulling back while grabbing the ball, George didn't lose his defensive position while grabbing the ball.
This is the strength of George's defensive formation, and it is really difficult to find a balance between pressing and not losing position if someone else is replaced.
Two steps away from the three-point line, it's almost within Curry's shooting range, and it's hard for George to press and not lose position at the same time.
At this time, Jeff Green also rushed over and forced Curry to steal.
But by this time, Thompson was already starting to make a run.
Green and Chandler made a two-way pick-and-roll directly to Thompson.
In the face of this kind of double blocking, the Clippers should also be surrounded by three people at this time.
But at this time, there are two people on Curry's side, and if three people are sent to defend this Thompson's double block, then the Clippers will have no defensive resources.
Then the remaining Brewer can choose an open three-pointer, or a stable two-point inside basket.
So the Clippers can only send two people to defend against this wave of Warriors' three-person cooperation.
Rondo and Batum are the candidates to serve as the three-man pick-and-roll, while Jokic is looking at Brewer, a range that he can take care of when it comes to passing to Brewer.
Jokic's selection is still very exquisite, scoring three points in the bottom corner and retreating to the protective frame.
In the face of the Clippers' formation, the Warriors must play this three-man blocking and dismantling cooperation.
Rondo himself is installing around this block, and he is afraid that he will not be able to go around it himself, so he directs Batum to go to the other end of the block.
At this time, Thompson made a direct counterrun according to the tactics.
Through the cover of two inside lines, a rhythm is stuck.
Kerr, who was on the sidelines, had a relaxed expression on his face when he saw Thompson's movement, and Thompson deserved to be a top off-ball shooter.
This off-ball feint is beyond the original tactical effect.
After Curry saw the pick-and-roll activated, he threw the ball directly towards the landing point in the tactic.
But just before Curry could throw him out, Rondo changed his path and moved towards where Thompson landed.
Cole on the sidelines watched in disbelief as he watched what was happening on the field.
Didn't Rondo go around the block, according to tactical expectations, even if Rondo saw Thompson's counterrun and then ran over.
That's an explanation, Rondo didn't go around the block at all, and his goal was to run towards that landing point in the first place.
Thompson, who was on the court, saw that Rondo had moved to this position, and hurriedly reminded Curry.
However, Curry was being caught by two tall forwards at this time, and Jeff Green deliberately blocked Rondo's direction.
At the same time, Jeff Green and George kept shouting.
Originally, Curry and Thompson were far away, and Curry was blocked by two forwards and interfered by the roars of the two.
Curry's ability to shake the ball from the middle of the two to the tactical landing point is already a top-level playmaker.
No matter how much you ask of him, you can't do it because of Curry's height.
That's why Jokic is so hard to target at the core, and top-level playmaking and the height of a big center will hardly face a situation like Curry's.
Unless Jokic's is clamped, it's two big Yao who are holding his long arms high in the bag.
The ball was already thrown out, and Thompson knew that he couldn't catch it like this, so he simply rushed over to grab it.
But Rondo had the advantage of position.
At the same time, Rondo's arm span is 2.06 meters long, and his palm is very large.
Don't look at Thompson is taller than Rondo, but Thompson's arm span is also 2.06 meters.
With Rondo already in the front position, Thompson couldn't grab the ball even if he wanted to.
On the contrary, because he ran too fast, Thompson and Rondo tried to jump up and stab the ball into the hands of their teammates, but the ball fell to the ground instead of stabbing it.
Rondo intercepted the ball and launched a fast attack directly on the spot.
Rondo, as a breakout point guard, was so fast with the ball that Chandler and Draymond Green simply couldn't keep up with him.
Rondo, who is far ahead, doesn't show any dunks, after all, his defensive pressure in this game is still quite high, and he retains more physical strength.
An unpretentious layup.
Warriors 3: 12 Clippers.
Kerr's first timeout didn't work, but was hit by the Clippers on a fast break.
It was very quiet in the arena and it was too demoralizing.
Cole was furious on the sidelines, wanting to scold something, but couldn't.
Scolding whom?
Scolding Thompson?
Thompson just executed the tactics perfectly, and that feint counterrun was simply textbook-level, and he was still praising it just now, and he immediately scolded it for being inappropriate.
Scolding Curry?
Curry is caught like that, and he can pass the ball to the tactically designated place, which can't be more than that.
Scolding Chandler?
Scolding Draymond Green?
Their cover is of high quality, and they are all executed according to tactics, what is this scolding.
You can't scold Brewer, right?
People just stand honestly in the bottom corner, can this also be blamed?
That Cole thought about it, no one is easy to scold, he can't scold himself on the sidelines.
It's not appropriate to think about it, and although he is furious in his heart, Cole still holds back.
Cole is so aggrieved.
The Warriors players who played on the floor had a feeling that Su Chen had guessed Kerr's tactics.
But that's outrageous.
I did it once last year, and Su Chen came again this year?
It's not just the Warriors players who think it's outrageous, the Clippers players feel outrageous.
When Su Chen was arranging just now, to be honest, they didn't believe it.
It's just that the professional went to execute this tactic.
"The tactical landing point is actually there!"
Even Rondo, the core of this tactical defense, felt surprised at this time.
He can understand guessing tactics, after all, he can also guess tactics, but how to guess an unfamiliar and complex tactic?
Even now Rondo doesn't want to play, so he wants to ask Su Chen on the sidelines how this happened.
But just think about it, as a professional footballer, the task now is to play this game.
Rondo suddenly wanted to continue to look at the other arrangements arranged by Su Chen next, whether he could continue to guess correctly.
Cole on the sidelines hesitated, but still didn't call a timeout.
The ball just now was already very demoralizing.
If he calls another timeout now, it means that the Warriors have been called out twice in a row.
Cole still wanted to take a look.
Cole, who was on the sidelines, made a gesture to signal a change in tactics.
When he arranged the offensive tactics, he didn't just arrange the tactics just now, and Kerr could have avoided this timeout when there was still room for tactical changes.
The game went on.
Curry advanced with the ball, but as in the previous round, he was immediately surrounded by George and Jeff Green.
At this time, the Warriors are like repeating their old tricks from the previous round.
Still in the same formation, Thompson, Chandler, and Draymond formed a three-man pick-and-roll.
This time, though, the Warriors had a change, and instead of running back, Thompson made a real pick-and-roll no-ball three-point threat.
Rondo was very witty, and after seeing Kerr's gestures on the sidelines, he knew that the ball Warriors were going to change formations.
Although the coach's tactical gestures are usually encrypted, what can be seen by the opponent will not be simply seen.
But when Su Chen arranged the defense just now, didn't he already guess the derivation of the warriors' tactics?
Rondo's superb ball quotient at this time showed its effect at this time, and there was no need for Su Chen to command on the sidelines, Rondo put one hand behind his back to command Batum.
Su Chen, who was on the sidelines, originally wanted to make a response gesture, but seeing the command gesture that Rondo quietly made behind his back, Su Chen didn't continue.
As a coach, even if he uses encrypted gestures to command the players, the coach is still too conspicuous on the sidelines.
Just like Cole just now, even if he can't read what the encrypted gesture means, he can know that the other coach's command is giving instructions.
In this way, even if you can't read it, you can be careful.
This tactic continues.
But Curry's landing point this time is not the positive Thompson, but the Chandler who cuts inside.
There was nothing wrong with Cole's tactic.
The opponent has two defenses and three defenses, or in the face of the league's top off-ball shooters like Thompson, you can't always defend three, right?
In the case of two defenses and three, the opponent's restriction on Thompson will cause an emptiness on the inside.
Don't look at the place where Jokic stands seems to be very clever, retreating can protect the frame and enter the defense.
But when Chandler did break through, Jokic could only play a two-and-one defense between Chandler and Brewer in the bottom corner.
As a league veteran, Chandler is not known for his organization, but he can still do this level of response.
In fact, it was not a reaction, because the tactics had been arranged in advance, and Chandler could complete this tactic by passing the ball according to the tactics or playing by himself.
As long as this tactic is completed, then Su Chen's box-1 tactic will be self-defeating.
But at this time, Chandler, who was cutting inside, was just trying to determine whether Curry's passing position was accurate, when he saw a big bald head in front of him.
Batum jumped straight up and intercepted the pass halfway.
Just like just now, George and Jeff Green were making loud noises next to them, and even teammates couldn't accurately convey them to Curry.
Curry is surrounded by two tall forwards, and his passing is actually more based on his ball sense.
Kerr was able to deploy such a tactic because he felt that through the containment played by Thompson, there should be no defenders in the place where the pass was made.
With what he knows about Curry, Curry can accomplish such a task.
But Su Chen not only guessed his first tactic, but also guessed the derivative tactics of his tactics.
Batum on the field did not pause and immediately passed the ball to Rondo.
Rondo runs wild with the ball again.
Only Thompson and Draymond managed to return to the defense, and the front court formed a three-on-two of Rondo George Jeff Green.
Curry stumbled in the confrontation with George and didn't follow.
Rondo rushed to the basket, and George and Jeff Green spread out at the three-point line.
Draymond Green chose to retract to the basket, and Thompson chose one of two outside to defend George, which left Jeff Green free at the three-point line.
Rondo is not greedy for credit, and as an assist master, he easily sent the ball comfortably to Jeff Green's hands.
Jeff Green was very comfortable receiving the ball, and he didn't even need to adjust it, and directly made a coherent catch-and-shoot action.
Brush!
The ball goes in.
Warriors 3:15 Clippers.
