Godfather of the NBA: Cutting Curry and creating a dynasty

Ibaka grabbed the ball with both hands and smashed it hard into the basket.

Atkinson and Uduka looked surprised, and turned their heads to look at Yang Li at the same time.

I didn't expect him to really understand tactics.

Yang Li noticed the eyes of the two and smiled at them.

The high-position double-screen tactics can create opportunities for inside players to run down.

But if it is only given a chance to go down, then Jordan can also complete this tactic.

And Yang Li's double-screen tactic is certainly not that simple.

In the next round, Livingston held the ball again and prepared to break through, and Harden and Ibaka also stepped forward to cover again.

Millsap read the rookie team's tactical intentions, made up for the restricted area in advance, and prepared to intercept Ibaka.

After Ibaka got the ball, he smiled at Millsap, and then threw the ball to Artest in the corner.

Millsap, who was supposed to be man-marking him, is now in the paint, completely leaving him open.

Isn't that a shooting practice for an unguarded corner three-pointer?

Artest went up and down, and the rookie team scored three points.

At this time, Atkinson and Udoka suddenly realized why Yang Li wanted to play Jordan and let Ibaka go to the center position.

Because Jordan doesn't have the coping ability, but Ibaka does!

The veteran team called a timeout, and Udoka took out the tactical board and began to arrange defensive tactics.

Just let me see how you look.

Yang Li looked at Uduka with a smile, looking forward to his coping strategy.

Udoka has his own unique understanding of defensive tactics. In his previous life, the Celtic youth team relied on defense all the way to the finals.

The timeout ends and the veteran team has the ball.

It was still Kaman, facing Ibaka, who was 5 centimeters shorter than him, and scored two points with a direct bukkake shot at him.

The rookies attack.

It's the same high post double screen tactic again.

However, the defensive players have changed.

It's up to Lowry and Crawford to guard Curry and Artest in the corner.

Richardson went to the top of the arc to defend Livingston, and the man who defended Harden was replaced by Millsap.

As a stocky No. 4, he has quick feet and can keep up with Harden.

Yang Li nodded. This defensive tactic is right, because Millsap's ability to read the game is very strong.

Before Ibaka made a second screen, Millsap signaled Kaman to make up.

At the same time, he also pushed Richardson, who wanted to chase Livingston, and asked him to turn around and stare at Harden, who was about to catch the ball and make a long shot.

He himself withdrew into the penalty area, which could completely block Ibaka's route.

At the same time, if Livingston passes the ball to Harden or Artest, he can also protect the rim when they catch the ball and force a breakthrough.

"What a good player!" Yang Li couldn't help sighing.

This summer, the Clippers spent a lot of money to sign Millsap, which is definitely a very correct decision!

It's a pity that Millsap is not Yang Li who has a vision beyond the times after all, he still missed a little bit.

Facing Kaman's defense, Livingston directly passed the ball back to Ibaka who had just helped him cover from outside the three-point line.

After Ibaka got the ball, he glanced at the basket and remembered what Yang Li said just now.

"You just shoot, the opponent will definitely not guard you from shooting three-pointers, just treat it as shooting training!"

Millsap in the penalty area was preparing to welcome Ibaka's arrival, and suddenly saw Ibaka grab the ball with both hands outside the three-point line.

What does he want to do?

Millsap couldn't believe it. He would never have thought that Ibaka would shoot a three-pointer!

Swish!

With the exclamation of Atkinson and Udoka, the basketball shot into the net.

A 2 meter rookie power forward actually made a three-pointer?

The point is, it's still getting in!

"Good luck." Yang Li said to himself with a smile.

In fact, Ibaka's current actual three-point shooting ability is almost zero. It is pure luck to be able to shoot this time.

However, this is enough.

After this three-pointer was made, the rookie team successfully overtook the score.

Fearing Ibaka's shooting ability, Millsap had to give up the penalty area.

This also gave Harden and Artest the opportunity to hit the basket in turn.

At the same time, Curry, who was ambushing on the outside, also got a lot of three-point shots after the two of them attracted the attention of defenders.

In the end, the rookie team won the training match 96-88.

After the game, everyone stood in front of Yang Li again.

This time, the veterans put away all the previous disrespect towards Yang Li, and were as docile as a group of lambs stared at by shepherd dogs.

Originally, they could have reversed and won the game with their own ability and experience.

But Yang Li's tactical arrangement in the last quarter completely defeated them.

The high-position double-screen tactic is not so unsolvable, but once the buff of the three-point ability of all players is added, it immediately undergoes a qualitative change.

You can't let go of anyone other than the ball handler.

Once you give them room to shoot, they will immediately teach you how to behave with a three-pointer.

So in the final analysis, whether it is tactics or system, they all serve the players.

Players have no ability, no matter how clever your tactical system is, it is futile.

Similarly, if your tactical arrangement is contrary to the player's ability, it will not be effective.

You let "Shark" O'Neal pull to the three-point line to shoot a three-pointer, and let "Answer" Iverson play bottom line singles, isn't that purely sick?

Yang Li naturally knew this very well, and said to himself: "Let the stinky shit with no three points deal the cards at the top of the arc, isn't that purely sick?"

Seeing everyone looking at him in confusion, Yang Li smiled awkwardly.

"Remember, from today onwards, I will be your head coach." Yang Li cleared his throat and said.

"Maybe you think I'm too young, maybe you think I've never played professional basketball, but..."

Yang Li stood up suddenly, and pointed to the NBA logo hanging above his head.

"You are all professional players. Professional players have to do professional things. On the court, it is your job to obey the head coach's arrangement!"

In his previous life, Yang Li worked as a securities broker in a financial company on Wall Street, and he also led a small team of about twenty people.

In his opinion, it is essentially no different from being a coach in the nba: they are both the leader of the atmosphere team who beat his subordinates.

In short, Yang Li's aura was directly pulled into place, and he immediately suppressed these restless guys.

"Yes, coach!" All the players shouted one after another. It seems that today's training match had a big impact on them.

"After today's training match, I want you to understand a truth." Yang Li said and glanced at Millsap, "Paul, do you have anything to say?"

"Space," Millsap said thoughtfully.
