NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 243 Cole was guessed again

The Timberwolves players were excited.

But at this time, Su Chen was not as relaxed as the players.

Although they currently lead the Warriors 10-3, as long as the Warriors find the right way to play, the 7-point gap can be recovered in three rounds.

Before Cole called a timeout, Suchen had already given Milosevic the drawn offensive tactics board and asked Milosevic to arrange the offensive tactics first.

As for him.

[Eagle Eye] Start!
Suchen retreated behind everyone, seemingly next to Milosevic, watching Milosevic deploy his tactics.

However, in fact, Suchen was looking at the tactical board in Cole's hand.

Before the game started, Suchen had already put this mark on Cole.

The next defensive round is very critical!
As far as the Warriors are concerned as a starter, it is impossible to break through the box-one tactic without Thompson.

Coach Nurse has proven this with the Raptors.

The Warriors' current lineup, apart from Thompson, is not much better than the Warriors' three-pointer that was defeated by the Raptors.

Brewer's three-pointers are unstable, Draymond Green's three-pointers are average, and Chandler has no three-pointers at all.

Except for Thompson, everyone else's three-pointers can be released.

Now that Cole wants to break the box-one tactic, Thompson is the only weapon in Cole's hands.

How Cole uses Thompson and how Suchen defends Thompson can be said to be the winner of this series.

Rather than putting the winning hand on Curry, Suchen is still willing to choose Thompson.

Peak Curry's box-one effect is still good.

Moreover, if Curry does not handle the ball on the offensive end, Curry will be a relatively weak defensive point on the defensive end.

Curry's defensive awareness is very good, but he is still not strong enough.

Why does Curry want to gain muscle? Even if he knows that gaining muscle will reduce his three-point accuracy, he still chooses to gain muscle.

It's because Curry is on the defensive end. Even if he makes some defensive choices correctly, he can't fight against other players.

After gaining muscle, Curry was above the defensive line.

But with two people already targeting Curry, there are fewer resources available to defend Thompson.

At this time, the use of [Eagle Eye] is extremely important.

"That's it. It seems that Cole has indeed improved a lot."

Su Chen smiled inwardly after seeing Cole's tactical board.

At this time, Milosevic was talking about the offensive layout. Su Chen immediately took over the tactical board upon seeing this.

The whole movement flows smoothly and looks very natural.

"Let me lay out the defensive points. Rondo, you have to pay more attention to this point. This is the most convenient point for Thompson. Regardless of whether he is running forward or backward, you have to pay attention to this. This is probably the landing point of Thompson's movement. "

"George, you have to keep an eye on Curry at all times. No matter where Curry goes in this game, you have to keep an eye on him until you see him sit down on the bench and come back!"

"Batum, you won't be involved in double-teaming Curry, but in this position on the right side of the free throw line, you must always pay attention to the pass down the line."

Su Chen took the tactical board and based on the diagram on Cole's tactical board, he laid out a strategy to counter Cole.

Compared with last season, Cole's current tactics will add more confusing movements and deceive defenders.

However, as long as you know where the opponent's tactics are, no matter how complicated the layout is or how confusing it is, it is actually meaningless.

Hearing Su Chen's arrangement, Rondo glanced at Su Chen in surprise.

In fact, this was the first time Rondo had seen Su Chen's ability.

With this kind of tactical arrangement, Su Chen's former players also knew what to say and what not to say. Although they were shocked, they would not talk nonsense about the coach's coaching methods without Su Chen's permission.

Su Chen is either in charge of the Timberwolves or the Clippers. He is one of the top coaches in the league.

Saying these things would offend Su Chen. They had a good relationship with Su Chen, so there was no need to offend Su Chen just because of a quick talk.

In order to recharge his batteries, Su Chen did not use Eagle Eye, an ability that consumes mental energy, during the regular season.

Moreover, the first two rounds are considered easy and there is no need to use them.

The other players were very puzzled when they heard this arrangement.

But Rondo was not puzzled at all, but was surprised and surprised at Su Chen's ability.

In fact, Rondo can sometimes see through some of the opponent's tactics, including later when he asked Cousins ​​to find an unmanned spot to guard, which meant he guessed where the opponent's tactics would be.

Su Chen's arrangement obviously guessed the opponent's landing point.

Rondo can guess some tactics, but he can only guess some tactics that are not so complicated, or very common tactics.

However, according to Su Chen's description, Cole's tactics were not simple tactics, and were also confusing.

Can you guess the landing point?

With Rondo's unruly character, after being surprised, he just didn't believe it.

Rondo has a somewhat arrogant character. Even if he is a famous coach, Rondo will still be dissatisfied.

He and Carlisle have different coaching philosophies, which can lead to conflicts.

Originally, Rondo had been quite tolerant of Su Chen, mainly because winning could cover up many conflicts. The team did achieve outstanding results under the leadership of Su Chen.

Even in the playoffs, there were no losing games.

This kept Rondo at least out of trouble.

But to say that Rondo was truly convinced by Su Chen, it was not much.

When Rondo was not really convinced by Su Chen, hearing that Su Chen actually predicted the placement of such a complicated pass made Rondo feel that Su Chen was a little too arrogant.

However, Rondo did not immediately express his dissatisfaction.

It wasn't that he was intimidating Su Chen. If he wanted to express his dissatisfaction, he would express his dissatisfaction to Su Chen after Su Chen failed to predict the ball.

So Su Chen arranged it and he listened.

Besides, it was already such a high-level game, and he didn't want to lose here. Even if he was right and had a conflict with Su Chen, the team would lose.

At this time the pause time is up.

Many people here, like Rondo, have never experienced such tactical arrangements as Su Chen.

But this time it’s time to play.

They are not as unruly as Rondo and want to argue with the coach.

back on the field.

Warriors possession.

Curry controlled the ball through halftime, but just after halftime, George had already stepped forward and stared at him.

Just like Suchen said, no matter where Curry goes, George is responsible for keeping an eye on Curry.

Curry protected the ball and wanted to rush over, but the reason why George came to press so early was because it was not within Curry's shooting range.

Curry had made a midfielder during the training warm-up, but this was a game, so it was different.

Therefore, George, who stepped forward in advance, only needed to defend Curry's breakthrough, not Curry's shot.

While grabbing the ball and retreating, George did not lose his defensive position while grabbing the ball.

This is George's defensive strength. For anyone else, it would be really difficult to find a balance between pressing and not losing position.

Two steps away from the three-point line, it is almost within Curry's shooting range. It is difficult for George alone to press and not lose position at the same time.

At this time, Jeff Green also rushed over and pressed Curry.

But at this time, Thompson was already starting to move.

Green and Chandler directly set up a double pick-and-roll for Thompson.

Facing this kind of double pick-and-roll, the Clippers should also have three people surrounding them at this time.

But there are two people on Curry's side at this time. If three people are sent to defend Thompson's double pick-and-roll, then the Clippers will have no defensive resources.

Then Brewer, who is left, can choose an open three-pointer or cut inside to the basket for a stable two-pointer.

Therefore, the Clippers can send two people to guard against the Warriors' three-man team.

Rondo and Batum are the candidates for this three-man pick-and-roll, while Jokic takes a step back and looks at Brewer. If this range is passed to Brewer, he can take care of it.

Jokic's position selection is still very subtle. He can defend the three-pointer from the bottom corner when entering, and can assist with the protective frame when retreating.

Facing the Clippers' formation, the Warriors must play a three-man pick-and-roll.

Rondo himself was equipped to go around this pick and roll, and he was afraid that he couldn't get around it, so he directed Batum to the other end of the pick and roll.

At this moment, Thompson followed the tactics and ran directly in reverse.

Through the cover of two insiders, a rhythm was stuck.

Cole on the sidelines saw Thompson's movement, with a relaxed expression on his face. Thompson is indeed a top off-ball shooter.

This fake move without the ball exceeded the original tactical effect.

After Curry saw the pick-and-roll started, he threw the ball directly towards the landing point in the tactic.

But just before Curry was about to throw it out, Rondo changed his path and moved towards where Thompson landed.

Cole on the sidelines watched what happened on the court in disbelief.Didn't Rondo go around the pick-and-roll? According to the tactical expectation, even if Rondo ran over after seeing Thompson's reverse run, it would not be enough.

Then there is an explanation. Rondo did not go around the pick-and-roll at all. His initial goal was to run towards that landing point.

After Thompson on the court saw Rondo move to this position, he quickly reminded Curry.

But Curry was being double-teamed by two tall strikers at this time, and Jeff Green deliberately blocked Rondo's direction.

At the same time, Jeff Green and George kept shouting loudly.

Originally, Curry and Thompson were far apart. While Curry was blocked by the two strikers, he was also disturbed by their roars.

Curry can throw the ball from the two to the tactical placement, which is already a top organizational ability.

If we ask him for more, he won't be able to do it due to Curry's height.

This is why it is so difficult to target Jokic as the core. With top organizational skills and the height of a big center, it is almost impossible to face a situation like Curry's.

Unless Jokic is double-teamed, the two big Yaos are raising their long arms to double-team him.

The ball had been thrown out, and Thompson knew he couldn't catch the ball like this, so he simply rushed over to grab the ball.

But Rondo had the advantage.

At the same time, Rondo's wingspan is as long as 2 meters, and his hands are also very big.

Although Thompson is taller than Rondo, Thompson's wingspan is also 2 meters.

With Rondo already occupying the front position, Thompson couldn't grab the ball even if he wanted to.

On the contrary, because he ran too fast, Thompson tried to jump up and poke the ball into his teammate's hand after a confrontation with Rondo, but the ball missed and fell to the ground instead.

Rondo intercepted the ball and launched a fast break directly on the spot.

As a breakthrough point guard, Rondo dribbles the ball too fast, and Chandler and Draymond Green simply can't keep up with him.

Rondo, who was far ahead, didn't show off any dunks. After all, he was still under a lot of defensive pressure in this game, so he should conserve his energy.

A no-frills layup.

Warriors 3:12 Clippers.

Cole's first timeout had no effect. Instead, he was hit by the Clippers for a fast break.

The stadium was very quiet, this ball was so demoralizing.

Cole was furious on the sidelines and wanted to curse something, but couldn't.

scold who?

Scold Thompson?
Thompson's execution of the tactics just now was perfect, and the fake counter-run was simply textbook level. He was praising it just now, so it's inappropriate to criticize it immediately.

Scolding Curry?

Curry has been double-teamed like that, and he can still pass the ball to the tactically designated location. This can't be asked for more.

Scolding Chandler?

Scolding Draymond Green?
The quality of their cover is very high and they are all executed according to tactics. What is this?

You can’t scold Brewer, right?

If someone is just standing in the bottom corner, can he still take the blame?

Then Cole thought about it, it was hard to scold anyone, he couldn't scold himself on the sidelines.

It was inappropriate to think about it. Although he was furious, Cole still held it in.

Cole is so frustrated.

The Warriors players playing on the field had a feeling that Suchen had guessed Cole's tactics.

But this is too outrageous.

We did it once last year. Su Chen is here again this year?
It’s not just the Warriors players who feel it’s outrageous, the Clippers players also feel it’s outrageous.

When Su Chen was setting it up just now, to be honest, they didn't quite believe it.

I just implemented this tactic professionally.

"The strategic point is really there!"

Even Rondo, the core of this tactical defense, felt surprised at this time.

He can understand guessing tactics. After all, he can guess tactics, but how can he guess an unfamiliar and complicated tactic?
Rondo doesn't even want to play now, so he wants to ask Su Chen on the sidelines how he did it.

But just thinking about it, as a professional player, your current task is to play this game well.

Rondo suddenly wanted to continue watching and see if he could continue to guess correctly in other arrangements that Su Chen arranged next.

Cole hesitated on the sidelines and still didn't call a timeout.

The goal just now was already very demoralizing.

If he calls another timeout now, it means the Warriors have been stopped twice in a row.

Cole still wanted to take a look.

Cole on the sidelines made a gesture to indicate a change in tactics.

When he arranged the offensive tactics, he didn't just arrange the tactic just now. Cole could have not called this timeout when there was still room for tactical changes.

The game continued.

Curry advanced with the ball, but just like the previous round, he was immediately surrounded by George and Jeff Green.

At this time, the Warriors seemed to be repeating the same tricks from the previous round.

Still the same formation, Thompson, Chandler, and Draymond formed a three-man pick-and-roll.

But this time, the Warriors still have changes. Thompson did not perform a counter run but a real off-ball three-point threat after the pick-and-roll.

Rondo was very smart. After seeing Cole's gesture on the sidelines, he knew that the Ball Warriors were going to change their formation.

Although the coach's tactical gestures are usually encrypted, what can be seen by the opponent will not be easily seen.

But when Su Chen arranged the defense just now, didn't he already guess the derivative of the Warriors' tactics?
Rondo's superb golf intelligence showed its effect at this time. There was no need for Su Chen to direct from the sidelines. Rondo put one hand behind his back and gave instructions to Batum.

Su Chen on the sidelines originally wanted to make a response gesture, but when he saw Rondo quietly making a command gesture behind his back, Su Chen stopped doing it.

As a coach, even if he uses encrypted gestures to direct players, the coach is still too conspicuous on the sidelines.

Just like Cole just now, even if he can't understand what the encrypted gesture means, he can still know that the opponent's coach gave the instruction.

This way you can be careful even if you don't understand.

The tactic continued.

But the target of Curry's throw this time was not Thompson, who was going forward, but Chandler who was cutting inside.

There is nothing wrong with Cole's tactic.

The opponent is defending two and three, but facing the league's top off-ball shooter like Thompson running around, you can't defend three on one, right?
In a two-on-three defense, the opponent's restriction on Thompson will create a void inside.

Don't look at the place where Jokic is standing. He seems to be very clever. He can retreat to protect the frame and advance to defend the three-pointer.

But when Chandler breaks through, Jokic can only defend Chandler and Brewer in the corner.

As a veteran of the league, even if Chandler is not good at organization, he can still respond to this level.

In fact, it doesn't count as a reaction, because the tactics have been arranged in advance, and Chandler can complete the tactics as long as he passes the ball according to the tactics or plays by himself.

As long as this tactic is successful, Su Chen's box-1 tactic will be self-defeating.

But at this time, Chandler, who was cutting inside, was just about to confirm whether the position of Curry's pass was accurate, when he saw a big bald head in front of him.

Batum jumped up and intercepted the pass halfway.

Just like before, George and Jeff Green made loud noises next to them, and even if their teammates reminded them, they could not accurately convey it to Curry.

Curry was double-teamed by two tall forwards. In fact, his passing relied more on his sense of the ball.

Cole was able to deploy such a tactic because he felt that through Thompson's containment, there should be no defensive players in the place where the pass was passed.

With his understanding of Curry, Curry can complete such a task.

But Su Chen not only guessed his first tactic, but also the derivatives of his tactic.

Batum didn't pause on the court and immediately passed the ball to Rondo.

Rondo ran with the ball again.

Only Thompson and Draymond successfully returned to defense, forming a three-on-two frontcourt with Rondo, George, and Jeff Green.

Curry stumbled during the confrontation with George and failed to follow.

Rondo drove toward the basket, and George and Jeff Green spread out at the three-point line.

Draymond Green chose to retreat to the basket, and Thompson chose one of the outside options to guard George, which left Jeff Green free at the three-point line.

Rondo is not greedy for credit. As a master of assists, he easily sent the ball to Jeff Green's hands comfortably.

Jeff Green's catching force was so comfortable that he didn't even need to adjust and directly made consistent catching and shooting actions.

brush!
The ball goes in.

Warriors 3:15 Clippers.
