When the two coaches face ordinary opponents, they let the players play by themselves, and if they encounter trouble, the players themselves can rely on the usual tactical training to find a way to deal with it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When encountering a really strong team, tactics or strategies are useless, and at that time, it depends on the players' own performance to see who plays well.

At this time, Popovich and the difference between Zen masters and ordinary coaches are reflected, they will calculate the opponent from the psychological aspect.

For example, when the Spurs played against the Warriors in the 12-13 season, Curry hit consecutive three-pointers, and Popovich called a timeout every time Curry hit a three-pointer, and kept calling until the timeout was spent.

As a result, Curry looked a little irritable, and developed a blind trust in his scoring ability, thinking that he scared the opponent, so he made a strong shot.

But Curry couldn't win the game by shooting alone, he kept shooting until the third quarter because of the decline in physical strength and began to not score, and in the fourth quarter, he threw three non-sticks, and the Spurs took the opportunity to chase the points again and again, and finally the Spurs won the series.

In fact, the Spurs just played according to the usual tactics in that game, and it was the Warriors who collapsed.

In the past two years, when Popovich dealt with James in the Finals, he always used a strategy to put James in the middle of the shot, except for this, the Spurs just played as usual.

James saw that even the opponent didn't care about his mid-range shot, and he didn't dare to shoot because he was not confident in his mid-range shot.

The pass couldn't be passed, and the shot didn't dare to shoot, and the Heat's offense was dragged down by complete James' hesitation.

At this time, the head coach of the Heat has no way to prevent James from continuing to hold the ball?

That's even more unlikely, James who doesn't hold the ball has seen it in the 11 Finals, playing that badly.

The Heat have been toyed with by Popovich in the Finals for the second year in a row, and if it weren't for Leonard's missed two free throws in the summer of '13 and Ray Allen's three-pointer worth a championship ring, Popovich's Finals coaching career would have been perfect.

Bickerstaff, a veteran coach for so many years, has also figured out something in this regard, and if this game wants to break the deadlock between the two sides, it will have to start with Crawford.

There are a lot of things involved in this game against the Clippers, first of all, the new owner of the Clippers Ballmer began to clamore for the name of the King of Los Angeles to change hands on them.

The second is that the Clippers are likely to be one of the Lakers' biggest opponents in the playoffs this year.

After studying the games before and after the rise of the Clippers, Bickerstaff and D'Antoni found that the Clippers can change dramatically, and in addition to the big three of Paul, Griffin, and Jordan Jr. playing better, it is equally important for Crawford to lead the second team to open the score!

But although Crawford has good statistics before, he has also won the best sixth man and even scored 50+ points in a single game, but his efficiency has been very low, and the winning and losing points are very low, at most the substitute is not pulled away.

It wasn't until the Clippers brought in Kim Terry late last season that Crawford followed a new style of play that turned the Clippers' arguably most expensive bench roster into a real fight.

So Bickerstaff asked the team's related media to contact major media before the Lakers started their road trip, and began to attack Crawford from Twitter or on the small page of the website and the small section of the newspaper that is not the headline, and the language is not too fierce but very targeted, as well as sarcasm, while saying that he used to play alone, and on the other hand, saying that he is old, not good at scoring, and the position of singles king is another Los Angeles player.

In the game, Nick Young was used to deliberately provoke heads-ups, a streetball player like Crawford was easy to ignite, and Nick Young successfully provoked Crawford.

Obviously, it worked!

Crawford's mind right now is all about proving that he's better than Nick Young, and he's thinking about attacking the basket with the ball.

Bickerstaff whistled and made a contraction gesture to Whiteside and Antetokounmpo.

Whiteside and Antetokounmpo nodded, Antetokounmpo came to the elbow zone and Whiteside began to direct his teammates' defensive positions.

This gesture, a fairly simple tactic, is to defend the line and force Crawford to go to the bottom line.

Bickerstaff's ploy succeeded, and Crawford fell into the trap!

If Liu Ren is desperate to prevent Crawford from breaking through, then Davis only needs to block him, but Liu Ren's kind of is equivalent to letting Crawford break into the inside, Davis doesn't know what to do, and he may block his teammates in the past.

Liu Ren defended like this, making Davis's blocking and dismantling useless, Liu Ren just stuck to the line and put the bottom line, and Crawford wanted to go on the line to directly hit Liu Ren. Blocking and dismantling is to stop the defender on the offensive side's forward path, if Davis is blocked on the line, it is useless, Liu Ren directly bypasses and blocks in the middle, such a long distance, even if Liu Ren is blocked by Davis, Antetokounmpo can also make up from the elbow area.

If Davis is going to stop Liu Ren from the bottom line and let Crawford break through to the bottom line smoothly, this is exactly what Liu Ren wants, with Antetokounmpo and Whiteside waiting!

Crawford was smoothly suppressed to the bottom line, and immediately faced Antetokounmpo and Whiteside to intercept, followed by Liu Ren who chased the defense, Crawford forced a mid-range shot and missed, and Liu Ren chased in just to grab the defensive rebound.

Counterattack!

Liu Ren defended the rebound by himself and counterattacked with the ball!

No one can catch up with him, Famar is the best runner in the Clippers lineup, but he is only physically good and can run, his speed is first-class, but compared with Liu Ren, Rondo, James and other top speed players, it is not enough to see at all.

Liu Ren ended the attack with a simple gliding one-handed split, and there was nothing fancy in the action, just one word - stretch!

Crawford was a little paranoid and stubborn to go on his own, falling into the trap set by Bickerstaff, and the Lakers scored one after another on defensive counterattacks.

If the Clippers return in time, they will hand over Nick Young to a one-on-one forced Crawford to arouse Crawford's competitive spirit.

Sometimes competitiveness hurts, and the better Nick Young plays, the more points he scores, and Crawford wants to play better and score more points than Nick Young.

What can the Clippers do?

Crawford is the boss of this bench lineup, Crawford's lack of cooperation made the Clippers offense mired, and the defense could not play, and the Lakers took advantage of this to play a 14-2 scoring shockwave, and Rivers quickly called a timeout.

50-32, in just a few minutes, the Lakers widened the difference to more than 15 points!

The Lakers have the upper hand!

It's important to be the first to take the lead in the battle for power!

This scoring blaster, which exploited Crawford's weakness, allowed the Clippers to be on the catch-up side from the start of the game, with the Lakers taking the lead.

It is a constant truth on the basketball court that the team that executes the strategy successfully never changes its strategy first.
