Chapter 1431 A Substitute Lineup Urgently Needed

"Our starting five, plus Foye, Brewer, Butler, Landry and Robin, our ability is definitely better than last season~!!"

"Our starting players must have made great progress this summer, they must have become more tacit, and our overall strength is improving~!!"

"So, of course, the team's goal this season is to unswervingly pursue the championship~!!!"

At the Clippers' season mobilization meeting, Lan Shengli once again proposed the goal of "chasing the championship".

Although the goal set last season was also a championship, it was not "clearly stated".

Now Lan Shengli has stated the goal of "chasing the championship" very straightforwardly.

It shows that Lan Shengli has greater confidence and hope for the team to become stronger.

The mobilization meeting is over, and the next step is the preseason.

"We must be more involved in the preseason. Although the outcome of the game is not important, the process is very important, especially for the new players. I hope you can show that you have integrated into our Clippers. ~, and then there is running-in~!!, running-in is very important. After a few training games within the team, or teaching games, I found that the running-in situation of the substitute players is not very good. This is something I don’t want to happen In the current situation, everyone should try to understand each other more and be familiar with each other's style of play, this is very important~!!"

Lan Shengli said before the first game of the preseason.

"Don't forget the tactics I set up for you before, okay~!!, the hand-to-hand pass must be strong, the screen must be fast, and then return to the defense quickly, do not foul easily, if you can return to the defense , just don’t foul, accumulating too many fouls is not a good thing for us~, okay~!!”

Lan Shengli continued to remind.

The team members also listened carefully.

The Clippers' first preseason game is against the Memphis Grizzlies, and the game is not played at either team's home court.

Instead, it takes place at the basketball gym at UC Irvine.

Although it is said to be in a neutral position, it is in California after all, so it is still the Clippers' home court.

Billups, Harden, George, Love, Jordan Jr., the Clippers' starting lineup is still unshakable.

The game starts soon.

"Swipe~!!!"

"Swipe~!!!"

"Yeah!!!!!!"

Here the Clippers quickly took the lead in entering the state, making consecutive outside hits, and the cheers on the scene were much louder than when the Grizzlies scored.

"I'm not worried about the situation of their starters at all. They have been playing together for four years, and even if they are short, they have played together for two years. The tacit understanding should be enough~ The next thing to consider is the first The second team~"

Lan Shengli watched the game and thought to himself.

"Dum~!!!"

Soon, Lan Shengli took the initiative to make adjustments.

It was directly a wave of "five ups and five downs" substitution adjustments.

Foye, Brewer, Butler, Landry and Robin came to the court together.

Several of these new aids are also playing for the Clippers for the first time.

"The team's current bench seems to have players from all positions. It seems that the lineup is relatively complete, but in fact it is not the case. The position of point guard is very weak. Foye's outside shooting ability is not bad, but his organizational ability is really good. I can't compliment him, he is more of a No. [-] role, and can't reflect the role of a No. [-] position, so this second lineup, the offensive organization of the position is a more troublesome problem. Newcomers can be activated~"

Lan Shengli thought to himself.

"Clang clang~!!"

"Clang~!!"

Sure enough, the offense of the second team did have a relatively big problem.

Because of the lack of a core defender organization, and several players wanting to express themselves as much as possible, the offense is mostly piecemeal, and it seems that there are not many methods, and naturally the efficiency is very low.

Continuous strikes made Lan Shengli frown.

"Beep~!!!"

While speaking, the Clippers made another mistake.

Foye broke through and passed the ball towards the bottom corner, thinking that Brewer would ambush there, but Brewer had already rushed into the inside line, and the incomprehension between the two made the ball go directly out of the bottom line.

"Dum~!!!"

Lan Shengli saw that the cooperation was not ideal, so he immediately called a timeout.

"Our defensive end is very good. Everyone is working hard. I feel it. We must keep going and do a good job, but there are some problems on the offensive end. We must pay attention to it~!!"

Lan Shengli said.

"The first problem is that the offense is too rigid and not smooth at all. I deliberately passed the ball twice and then shot it. An offensive round~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak in a rapid tone.

"Next, play high cover tactics~"

"Landry got the ball near the top of the free throw line, Foye went to the basket and screened for Robin, and then Butler asked for the ball on the left side, Butler's feint, Robin came out on the screen and got the ball, and then Blue Erik cuts, takes away the defender, Foye goes back to the baseline, just play like this, everyone communicate more, I want to see what we emphasize in training, forget your previous style of play as much as possible, okay Well~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to remind loudly.

The previous lineup in the second stage was the Clippers' advantage time. Livingston and Bass made an incomprehensible mid-range shot and helped the Clippers take the lead many times, but now this situation seems to be gone. After returning, the Clippers' second team not only has no advantage, it may even become a disadvantage.

Game back.

The tactical execution ability of the players is not bad, every step is played according to the previous arrangement of Lan Shengli.

After Brewer made an air cut, the Grizzlies' defense was still tight and there was no chance.

Seeing this, Robin directly gave it to Foye near the bottom corner.

Foye directly shot a three-pointer.

"Swipe~!!!"

The ball goes through the net.

The tactic Lan Shengli arranged was effective.

At least the first attack can be scored, which is a good start.

"Quickly return to defense, return to defense~!!, fall to defense~, 2-3 defense~!!"

Lan Shengli still didn't dare to relax, and told the team members with a focused expression.

Here, the Clippers returned to defense quickly, and the position of the zone defense was quickly formed.

"Beep~!!!"

However, the referee's whistle blew quickly.

"Defend for three seconds~!!"

Landry and Robin didn't make it clear that they were defending the same person in the paint, so there would inevitably be three seconds of defense.
