Pick Westbrook

Chapter 78 I'm Tired as a Coach (Please recommend a monthly ticket)

Trail Blazers attack.

Batum dribbled the ball across half court, Steve Blake on the right slid directly to the weak side, and Aldridge suddenly accelerated from the left and squeezed past Villanueva to the right waist.

"It's a classic low-post play around the screen, so that Aldridge has no one in front of him, and the defender behind him is Villanueva."

"If the Bucks dare to double-team, Roy and Batum, who are ambushing outside, will immediately give a fatal blow."

"If it's an inside double-team, Oden's current position is the waist in the same position in the opposite direction. That position is very destructive for a center like him."

Tylen Lu clenched his fists worriedly and said.

Just as he imagined, the Blazers seized the Bucks' inside weakness as soon as they came up, and prepared to use Aldridge to start indiscriminate bombing.

Although the opponent is far from becoming a superstar like Yao Ming and Duncan, and the inside lethality is not so terrifying, the Blazers still have a top defensive gate Oden and outside Roy.

Originally, Roy + Aldridge's internal and external star configuration was already very difficult to defend. The key is that the other players of the Blazers are still so strong.

Swish!
On the first ball, Aldridge turned over and made a shot.

It's easy to play!
Tai Lue looked at Li Lai again, and called anxiously, "Coach."

Li Lai raised his hand, signaling him to calm down and continue watching the game.

The Bucks attack.

Westbrook and Yi Jianlian have faced such inside opponents many times in previous games, so at this time, the two cooperated with each other in the high position to support the pick-and-roll.

This is a double-choice question, defending Westbrook's breakthrough or Yi Jianlian's shooting?
The Blazers chose the same defensive strategy as the Spurs, taking a step back from both the inside and outside lines to shrink the line of defense, giving Westbrook a chance to shoot a three-pointer, but not allowing him to break through.

In this way, the Bucks' offensive opportunities can only appear on Yi Jianlian.

Will he shoot [-]s or pull downs?
Nate McMillan, sitting on the Trail Blazers bench, smiled triumphantly.

As a player, he was once the NBA's steal leader and the best defensive team player, so he has a very delicate control over defense.

"Oden may not have Duncan's terrifying offensive and coping abilities, but in terms of defense, I can guarantee that he is at the same level as Duncan!"

So Nate McMillan is very confident that no matter what attack method Yi Jianlian chooses, Oden will steadily keep up and limit it.

really.

After Westbrook passed back to Yi Jianlian, Oden immediately defended himself with his nimble footsteps. When the latter held the ball and was about to break through again, Oden was firmly stuck in the path of travel and could not move at all.

"The Bucks offense is limited!"

Artest was in the low post and asked for the ball. The experienced man was ready to revive the offense.

Although Batum's defense is good, but in terms of size, the two are not at the same level at all.

Artest received Yilian Lian's high and low pass, and squeezed past Batum with a turn and was ready for a layup.

boom!
"what!"

"Too sudden and too fast!"

Oden returned to the defense in time and gave Artest an extremely exaggerated pegboard hat.

Steve Blake picked up the rebound and immediately made a fast break. Westbrook and Yi Jianlian returned to the defense in time.

The Blazers stabilized the rhythm and reorganized and began to drop positions. In a blink of an eye, it became Aldridge's inside singles against Villanueva.

At this time, the eyebrowless hero was about to cry inside.

In the past, Yi Jianlian was frequently beaten by singles in the interior, but he didn't think so.

It was only when he was singled tonight that he realized the bitterness of it.

"Aren't you going to fight Yi hand-to-hand? Why are you beating me all the time? It's so fucking aggrieved."

Aldridge repeated the same trick, another turnaround jumper.

boom!
This time it hit the iron!

boom! ! !
"No! Whose subordinate is that, why is it so fierce!"

All of a sudden, Oden overlord raised his tripod, took off from behind Yi Jianlian, leaped high, and sent a powerful tip-in dunk.

"Crash! Crash!"

"The inside of the Bucks is completely blown up."

Being scored by the Blazers twice in a row was acceptable to Li Lai, but it was beyond his expectation to be beaten so badly in the penalty area.

"It seems that I still underestimated the two insiders of the Blazers."

The Bucks suspended.

Westbrook walked off the court with an aggrieved expression.

"Coach, can I shoot a three-pointer in this game!"

Of course Li Lai knew what Westbrook meant in the first round.

At that time, the Trail Blazers chose a two-man retreat to defend. If Westbrook made a three-pointer at that time, the opponent would definitely not be able to defend in time.

In fact, not only in the round just now, but throughout the Devil's Western Tour this time, Westbrook was often put extremely far from the three-point line by his opponents, and he wanted Lee to unblock his three-point shots more than once.

But Li Lai clearly refused every time.

It's not that Westbrook didn't study hard under Reggie Miller's guidance, nor is it that his training effect is not good.

On the contrary, in Reggie Miller's evaluation, Westbrook's three-pointer has improved a lot, and it has reached the point where he can try it on the court.

It's just that the level is still below the average level of the league, and it only has a certain lethality.

So Li Lai still shook his head and said, "Not yet."

Westbrook said anxiously: "Coach, how long do we have to wait?!"

Li Lai continued: "When I think your three-pointer is good enough or it's a very important game."

After rejecting Westbrook, Li Lai rearranged his tactics on the field.

The Blazers' inside offense is very advantageous, and the Bucks' current inside lineup alone cannot be their opponent.

And obviously, the Blazers' offensive positioning is very good, and other players have been waiting for Aldridge's follow-up tactics after being double-teamed.

This gave Li Lai a feeling that one hair could move his whole body.

So at this time, he didn't intend to directly defend Aldridge's inside offense, but turned to another way of thinking to limit him.

"That's running!"

Hearing this tactic, the Bucks players were all stunned, and even Tyronn Lue, who thought he was an encyclopedia of tactics, shook his head.

"What the hell kind of tactic is this?"

Li Lai looked calmly at the field.

Aldridge's physical strength is not considered to be the best among the inside players. The best evidence is that his hands feel cold at critical moments in the playoffs.

Coupled with the fact that all of the Trail Blazers' offenses now have to go through Aldridge's hands, all his physical problems are even more of a great hidden danger.

"So Villanueva, from now on I want you to run Aldridge all over the court outside the three-point line, preferably from this corner to that corner, and then go back to the top of the arc. place."

"Then Aldridge has to come out and run with you."

"If he is tired, you will punish him severely with three points. If he is not tired, you will take him to run the whole game!"

Villanueva looked at Li Lai as if he was looking at a ghost, and he really wanted to say: Coach, I am also an insider, so I am tired from running like this.
