Chapter 824 [Attack on the inside, perfect tactics]

Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Griffin pulled out the three-point line to give Curry a screen, helping him get rid of Irving.

Curry took the lead to the left, Jason Thompson changed the defense and broke through the route. Curry gave the ball to Griffin in front of the three-point line. Griffin hesitated in the middle and did not shoot immediately.

Whenever he sees this kind of cooperation with Griffin not shooting, Yang Rui is not satisfied. The tactics are formulated, but Griffin cannot execute it well.

When he was with the Lakers, Yao Ming was more threatening to take the ball in the middle, because he practiced three-pointers, and only one point in the middle was enough.

Griffin has been in the fourth year from 10 years to now, and he has neither practiced the three-pointer from the middle nor the three-pointer from the corner.

Yang Rui knows that as long as Griffin is willing to practice, he can shoot three-pointers, but he just didn't work hard.In his previous life, he began to transform after his quality declined, which was obviously late and inappropriate.As soon as Paul left, the team needed Griffin to play like James in the 17-18 season. The goods arrived. Most of the shots were mid-to-long-range shots, and the hit rate and efficiency hit a career low.

Griffin hesitated for just a second, Irving went after Curry, Thompson returned, and there was no chance to shoot.

On the side, Danny Green relied on Chandler to cover and moved from the bottom line to 70 degrees. Griffin passed the ball in the past. Cousins ​​did not switch defense, and McLemore was blocked.

Green received the ball without hesitation and made a three-pointer. McCollmore is 196cm tall and weighs only 88kg. Even if he has the jumping ability to participate in the slam dunk contest, it will take time to bypass the screen and pursue defense, and his confrontation ability is average.

Cousins ​​didn't come out, he turned his head and was ready to grab a rebound. Green easily shot hollow and went into the net 3-0.

This season, Green has reached the peak of his career, with a 43% three-point shooting rate in the regular season, averaging 27 points, 10.5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1.5 three-pointers in 2.2 minutes per game.

His statistics are not too beautiful, and he has not developed the offensive ability with the ball, but he is already a better 3D player than Tony Allen and Korver. The tactics are very useful, and it is not surprising to squeeze out those two.

The Kings attacked, the Clippers mixed defense, four-man defense, and Green defended Irving on the perimeter.

Yang Rui didn't arrange for Curry to guard Irving. Irving can break through and shoot, and it is difficult for Curry to limit it.Don't look at Curry's regular season MVP, Irving has never even been in the best team for three teams before, but it is definitely better than Irving.

Irving has a very rich offensive means, which can be called an offensive kaleidoscope, and can create opportunities with pure singles.Curry's skills are also good, but he is best at hitting the needle in the system and shooting threes.On the defensive end, both of them have to practice. In the regular season, Yang Rui used Curry to defend Owen every time, and the effect was average. Now is not the time to exercise.

Green's weakness is mainly in switching defenses. He is good at one-on-one frame defense. Irving dribbles the ball under his crotch and walks to the right to break through. He failed to pass the ball and passed the ball to Cousins.

Cousins ​​received the ball low on the right and leaned on Chandler. Middleton immediately retracted to the penalty area to form a double-team, and made a steal in the next three lanes.Cousins ​​passed the ball out to the perimeter, and Barnes caught the ball with a step inside the three-point line and scored a jumper. 3 to 2.

The ball was scored, but Middleton turned around and interfered slightly, and the defense was not bad.The coaching staff did their homework before the game and let the swingman retreat to the penalty area at any time. Because Barnes' three-point shooting was unstable, and he made very few shots, the regular season averaged only 1.8 and 2.4 shots per game in the two seasons. This season, only 34.7% hit rate.

The Clippers attacked, Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, the two inside lines were pulled out of the periphery, and the swingers were screened without the ball on both sides.

This time, Curry chose to pass to Middleton on the left side. This was his decision after observing the positioning of the Kings players. Because Cousins ​​was on this side, Yang Rui's tactic was to attack Cousins.

Cousins ​​stood a little farther out, Middleton feinted to catch the ball, changed his mind and took a step toward the middle, and Griffin made an empty cut.

It's not that Middleton can't attack with the ball at all. His basic dribbling skills are still very solid. In the team, he has been discussing techniques with his teammates.

There are three people in the Clippers who are good at guarding the ball with their backs. Middleton learned this trick. He first accelerated to get close to Cousins, then leaned on his back for a confrontation, turned around in the middle and found a gap to pass the ball to him. Empty cut Griffin.

The timing of the ground-hitting pass was just right. Griffin received the ball comfortably and started. Barnes could only follow from the side.

Thompson went back to the basket to form a double-team, Griffin gave the ball to the right side lightly, Chandler jumped up to catch the ball, and dunked the basketball with both hands. 5 to 2.

Thompson turned around again to prevent Chandler from jumping and blocking, and he didn't dare to foul. The King's interior defense was too poor. If he got into foul trouble early, the King would definitely not be able to win.

The Kings attacked, and Irving and Thompson played a pick-and-roll, attracting Griffin to switch and Green to chase and distribute the ball to the middle.

Thompson was empty, and a high jumper was aimed and missed the basket. The rebound was allocated by Chandler and Griffin won.

When he first came into the league, Thompson was a thin, seven-footer who could play in the post, finish offense, was inconsistent in shooting and free throws, wasn't strong enough at center, and wasn't quick enough at power forward.But then he was useful on offense, averaging double figures in points per game for two consecutive seasons.

10 years later, Thompson took a crooked path and began to gain weight. He was 211cm tall and weighed 113kg. He became a little stronger and a little more ruthless. The penalty area would not allow opponents to score at will, but his own offense became worse. .

Thompson increased the proportion of low-post offense, and there were fewer mid-range shots that were still alive, so the Kings traded for Eisen Ilyasova.Ilyasova's offense is excellent, his weakness is poor defense, and he comes off the bench most of the time.

The Clippers attacked, Curry brought it to the frontcourt, gestured for Chandler to cover, got rid of Irving on the outside, and Thompson switched defenses.

Curry dribbled the ball to the left at full speed and passed it to Chandler at 45 degrees.This is also a simple tactical move arranged by Yang Rui. Most teams will choose to let Chandler cover in the middle. He has no shooting ability.

Chandler took the ball and took three steps, Cousins ​​retreated to defend the basket, and Chandler scored the ball to the right baseline.

Griffin didn't go to the bottom corner and made a mid-range shot from the ball. 7 to 2.

The Clippers practiced for a full hour yesterday to strengthen their memory. If Griffin can shoot three-pointers, it will be more perfect.The Kings have an excellent offense, and the final record is only the eighth in the West. Because of the poor defense, no one is good at making up defense.

The Kings attacked, Owen and Cousins ​​played pick-and-rolls, moved to the left to attract Griffin to switch defenses, dribbled the ball under the crotch to force a breakthrough, the Clippers formation shrank, Green, Griffin, and Chandler arrived at the basket.

Irving divided the ball out, and Cousins ​​in the middle pitched in the open space. 7 to 4.

Yang Rui clapped a few times on the sidelines, and was not dissatisfied with the defense. Cousins ​​has not practiced three-pointers this season. It doesn't matter if he makes a mid-range shot, the advantage is on the Clippers side.

Yang Rui coached two sets of tactics yesterday, all of which were aimed at switching inside the line, which tested the center the most.

Kings coach Mike Malone is a defensive assistant. He knows the weaknesses of the team and does not arrange for Cousins ​​to switch to Curry. The Clippers' swingman is not very capable of holding the ball and attacking, and it is difficult to make fouls.

It's a pity that I can hide from the first day of the first year, but I can't hide from the fifteenth.
