The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 165: gauntlet

There is no perfect defensive formation on the pitch.

Teams that like to push the line will lose defensive rebounds;

The team in the zone defense is afraid of the opponent's big man catching and shooting at the free throw line and missing two corners;

And like the Blazers, the "L-S-K" formation, which focuses on high-position defense and guarding the penalty area, also has flaws.

Louis did not point it out directly, just wanted the players to judge the situation by themselves. Once they found the answer, Louie would call a timeout to reinforce their impression.

"Our opponents are very targeted, but I believe you have already seen that the short corners of the left and right flanks are the dead ends of the defense line."

Louis emphasized.

Laimbeer, who just made a mistake, said: "They know this, the ball is not easy to pass."

"It means that you should hone your passing skills well, and I don't want to talk about that pass." Louis lazily focused on the short corner, "If they can still draw defensive resources to influence us The passing of the ball only shows that the attacking pressure we gave is not enough."

Louie specifically said to Bird and Thomas: "Strengthen our long-range offense and pull their defense further outside!"

The focus of the attack was arranged, and the short pause was over.

"I didn't expect such a clever change in the L-S-K formation," Tomjanovich said.

The reason the Celtics didn't attack the L-S-K backdoor before was that the backdoor wasn't the weak spot of the L-S-K formation in the first place.

The L-S-K formation was originally designed to guard the penalty area, and there is absolutely no chance that the back door will be left wide open.

If Ramsey doesn't change his players, the L-S-K formation is a replica pocket formation that isn't much of a threat to the Celtics who have made the most 3-pointers so far this season.

Ramsey did not impose a defensive system, but changed the tactical intention of the defense according to the characteristics of the Celtics.

From guarding the restricted area to protecting the restricted area, but at the same time pay attention to controlling the three-point line.

In this way, they are destined to be impossible to take care of behind them unless someone can teleport.

It is already the limit to arrange people around to cut off the Celtics' rumors.

The Celtics are no longer giving a passer like Laimbeer the ball that goes through the defense.

Laimbeer has become a kite floating on the perimeter, and the Blazers can't follow all the way inside.

So Thomas took the initiative to pass him the ball.

Laimbeer suddenly became the Celtics' main point of attack, making 2 of 3 shots in a few minutes.

12 to 7

The Celtics reversed the offensive and took the initiative, much to Ramsey's surprise.

In his opinion, the Celtics only have two 3-pointers that need serious attention. One is Bird, who averaged 5.4 3-pointers per game and shot 39 percent.

The other is John Long, who is averaging 4.8 3-pointers per game on 40 percent of his shots.

Bird is always at a high position, and the trajectory can be judged;

Long, who initially shot from the corners, has developed a forty-five-degree angle between the left and right flanks in recent seasons, and has also gained a tactical position under Louis that was impossible under Fitch. But most of the time, for the team's space, he will stand in the corner as a tool to attract the opponent's attention.

The three-point shot has only been implemented in the NBA for four seasons today. It is a headache to have such two space points, but because their movement trajectory can be predicted, the Blazers can defend and limit their shooting.

But now, Laimbeer, who can also shoot three-pointers, but only hits 33% of his shots, hits three goals and two goals.

Suddenly there is an extra three-pointer, and the athleticism of this modified L-S-K defensive network on the field is not enough.

Mychal Thompson plays Sampson in the low post.

The two fought fiercely, but Thompson made a terrible mistake by turning around and making a pullback. Before the shot, there was no confrontation for Sampson, which allowed the latter to jump on the spot and cover his ball.

Lang picked up the floor ball and passed it to Thomas.

The latter's defensive counterattack is unbeatable.

14 to 7

"Beep!"

This time it was the Blazers' turn to request a timeout.

Blazers veteran and home announcer Bill Schonely described the situation truthfully: "The Celtics' strength is unquestionable. If the media's evaluation of LittleLu is credulous, Dr. Ramsay will It sucks."

"Not enough energy!" Ramsay was very dissatisfied, "We don't have enough energy on the court!"

"Probably not athletic enough," said one of his assistants.

Ramsey looked at his assistant coach, and the person who spoke was Bucky Buckwalter, who was not only an assistant coach, but also the team's chief scout. Layer recommends Sam Bowie of the University of Kentucky. He claimed that child would be the second Bill Wharton.

Buckwalter knew that Ramsey wasn't going to be fooled, but any player associated with Walton would make him lose his mind.

"Jack, maybe we need to strengthen the defensive quality and find a way to 'step on the brakes'."

Another of Ramsay's teaching assistants, Rick Adelman, suggested.

"Yes, we have to do it!"

Ramsay is good at taking other people's opinions, and if he thinks the rest of the coaching staff is right, he will take it immediately.

So he called out a great name from the bench: "Clyde."

"Glider" Drexler out.

Ramsey has always seen Drexler as a power forward, and Buckwalter insists he can transition to a swingman, and the University of Houston's system has hampered his development.

Put a flying swingman at power forward? Does a coach really do that?

Ramsey doesn't believe there are coaches that are so stupid. There must be a reason for Drexler to play power forward, and now he needs the young man to show his physical quality to strengthen the team's defensive quality.

"Clyde, you have to get your energy, I want you to sweep Boston's perimeter, I don't want to see any of them making 3s with ease, you have to drive them in from beyond the arc !"

Then he gave another order: "We need to be more energy and efficient! Also remember, give up offensive rebounds, listen, no offensive rebounds! I repeat, no offensive rebounds!"

The Blazers are a special team, their effective field goal percentage is at the top of the league, but at the same time, their opponents are also at the top of the league in effective field goal percentage. The problem is, they're third in the league in their ability to let opponents turn the ball over.

This is a contradictory statistic, because a high effective shooting percentage means that your defensive intensity is not strong, causing many opponents to make mistakes, which seems to prove that your defensive intensity is very strong?

The answer, the Celtics already know.

The energy that Ramsey emphasizes is the tacit understanding and consistency on the defensive end. He does not like to let players play man-to-man with their individual abilities like other coaches. He hopes that the defense of each round is five people defending one of the opponents. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

Because it is a coordinated operation, facing the Blazers' defense, even if they give people little pressure, the turnover rate is very high.

And tonight their strategy was reversed, and they gave the Celtics a lot of intensity.

And, Ramsey is giving up another advantage -- third in the league in offensive rebounding.

Use Drexler's athleticism to increase the range of the L-S-K line of defense and, at the cost of giving up one of its strengths—offensive rebounding—limits the Celtics' counter-attack.

Ramsay presents Louie with a problem.

They did this to compete with the Celtics for tactical literacy, chemical reactions, and finishing efficiency after completing the tactics.

Only a truly established team would dare to raise such a challenge.

The "gauntlet" issued by Ramsay with this, Louis could see clearly within two rounds after the timeout. </div>
