Chapter 820 [Of Course I Have the Final Say]
The regular season continues, probably because the Clippers are so strong that many teams have no hope of winning the championship. After the All-Star Weekend, not only did the team fail, but there were also many internal strife incidents.
Nuggets veteran Andre Miller and head coach Brian Shaw had a complete falling out. The two had quarreled several times. The conflicts were irreconcilable. The things scattered in the wind have evaporated, and the noise has become hoarse.
Miller had no intention of continuing to play for the Nuggets, and was eventually traded to the Wizards, a strong team in the Eastern Conference, to reunite with his old teammate Nene. The Wizards just sent out the weak inside man Vesely, which obviously made a profit. They have been struggling to find a point guard who can serve as a substitute for Wall.
The Cavaliers are at odds with each other. In the loss to the Pacers, LeBron James and point guard Mario Chalmers had a conflict on the sidelines. The cause was Chalmers' mistake that led to the Pacers' fast break. Make a three-pointer.
In the past few seasons, Chalmers has been playing the role of a "punching bag" because he was the weakest in the starting lineup. Once he performed poorly or made a mistake, he would be "talked about" at a small level or yelled at at a large scale. Not only James, but also the coach also yelled at him.
This time James suddenly broke out and roared at Chalmers. Unexpectedly, Chalmers was possessed by Hongwen.
I can endure it, I can endure it! I have to endure it even more!? I can’t bear it anymore. I don’t need to endure it anymore!?
Chalmers fought back without fear. The "Emperor" was even more angry when he was hit. He rushed forward and tried to fight with Chalmers' "Shadowless Kick" using his "Rooftop Masturbation Punch". A, fortunately, my teammates pulled me away in time.
Although James immediately apologized afterwards, there was also a gap between the two. The Cavaliers do not plan to trade Chalmers in the mid-term. They are already weak at the No. 1 position. If they trade Chalmers, they will be eliminated in the playoffs.
The Lakers' Pau Gasol had a falling out with the management. The clay figure still has a three-pointer, not to mention a 200-pound insider like Gasol?
The trigger was simple. Gasol was put on the shelf again by Kupchak in the mid-term. In recent years, he has been listed on the Lakers' trade list, and he stayed with the Lakers each time, making him unsellable. Goods seem to be available. The good news is that Gasol will become a free agent this summer and he can leave the Lakers.
The Lakers have already failed. Even in November, Kobe snatched the tactical board from head coach Mike Brown in the last quarter, explained the tactics to his teammates, and even pushed Brown to the side. The Lakers have not waived Brown yet.
The Lakers couldn't find a better head coach in the free market, so they simply let Brown lead the team.
The Clippers locker room is very harmonious. Griffin's character advantage is that even if he is emotional, he will not show it excitedly, let alone be passive on the court.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Griffin only got angry once and hit a staff member of the team's equipment department. Then he fractured his palm and was out for more than a month. I really don’t know how the future best defensive player in the league "Kendou" fell in love with this guy...
With Parsons back, the Clippers have strengthened and lost only one game this month, a 110-120 away defeat to the Spurs.
Duncan scored 21 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists. Diaw also scored 14 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists. The substitute point guard Mills had 25 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.
Griffin won the Western Conference Player of the Month in February, averaging 25 points, 10.3 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game. His performance was more stable than Curry, and he also had an All-Star Game MVP extra point.
Griffin, who is in good form, continued to use James's point-forward style in March to attack the basket head-on, attract double teams and then distribute the ball to his teammates. His style of play is very efficient and his personal shooting percentage is guaranteed, but Yang Rui doesn't like it because this style of play easily makes teammates dependent and reduces team coordination.
Basketball is a sport for five people, and the style of play that Griffin is good at will have adverse effects in the long run. Just like in campus basketball, someone suddenly appears who is obviously better than others, and then everyone watches him play alone. They will take his sudden points and score some open shots, but there will definitely be no coordination.
Some of his abilities are also unable to be used.
This is why James gives people the impression of being a waste of his teammates. If he were on a weak team, everyone would applaud Griffin for playing like this. But the Clippers have Gay, Curry and others, so this style of play is unacceptable. Not quite right anymore.
For the sake of the playoffs, Yang Rui talked to Griffin alone and asked him to reduce the number of times he hits the basket. After screening, he waits for opportunities from the outside to make mid-range shots and coordinate passes. He controls the number of ball-attacking shots and gives some to the returning Chandler. .
Griffin was a little unhappy. After he won the Best of the Month, he saw the hope of surpassing Curry and winning the regular season MVP. If he didn't continue to play like this, the data would probably decline, and the MVP would be out of the question.
"Jerry, our winning rate last month was very stable. Stephen (Curry) can also play without the ball. Why can't he reduce the ball-handling offense to cooperate with me?"
Yang Rui said calmly: "You misunderstood one thing. I mean you gave the ball to Tyson (Chandler), not Stephen. Otherwise Tyson will be useless on the offensive end. Our The formation can't be spread out. I arranged it like this for one reason. Tyson lacks shooting ability, but you have it. This is why I repeatedly ask you to practice three-pointers. That way the formation will be wider, and you know the tactics."
This play is much more reasonable, because Chandler is someone who can let go easily without cutting after going out to screen. If the two of them go to the basket together and the inside is too crowded, it will be easier for the opponent to defend and they can just shrink into the penalty area.
Chandler first screens Curry off the ball from the side. Even if Curry doesn't have a direct shot when he catches the ball, it's easy to create a mismatch.
Last season, the Clippers had the best regular season record in history. In addition to the strong star ability, they relied on frontal pick-and-rolls and side off-ball screens. Paul attracted the inside to switch defenses and passed to Griffin. Griffin had no chance to organize a pass to Curry in the middle. Take a shot, or Curry attracts the inside defender to switch and then passes it to Chandler for an air cut.
This is a simple and effective way to play, and basically has no solution.
In Yang Rui's previous life, although the Rockets did not win the championship due to poor defense, the offensive end relied on this kind of screen to play extremely smoothly. While Harden scored super statistics, he was also able to assist his teammates. In the 17-18 season, Capela, a blue-collar center who relied on air cuts, easily scored a double-double in less than 30 minutes, with a super high shooting percentage.
Griffin wilted as soon as Yang Rui talked about tactics, because the Clippers' tactics are to beat the opponent and hang up their white bottoms as a white flag. He can't object to Yang Rui and make a simple win complicated, right?
Yang Rui smiled and continued: "My tactics are aimed at ensuring victory, not against you, so you have to calm down. I asked Stephen to take more shots because three-pointers are more efficient. 6 shots Both 3-for-6 and 2-for-6 scored 6 points, the same scoring efficiency, which is why the shooting rate is more than 40%. Stephen is a god-level shooter, and the guy next door is a blacksmith."
Griffin sighed and asked directly what was on his mind: "Then what should I do to become the team's number one core?"
Yang Rui smiled and said: "Play as I ask, practice mid- and long-range shooting, or go to other teams to be the boss and play like James, it's that simple."
"Hey, can't the Clippers build a team with me as the core?" Griffin sighed. The atmosphere of the Clippers team is to speak directly and not hide anything.
"Unfortunately, we can't." Yang Rui shook his head.
"Why?"
"Because I am the coach and will be the team owner in the future, and you are just a player. Of course, I have the final say."
