The Green Army is defeated!

In 82 regular-season games in one season, the impact of losing one goal is not too big, which is not an unacceptable thing.But Celtics coach Arnold felt very embarrassed to lose today.

Vincent became the superstar of ten years ago, killing the four sides in the game, and the Celtics' ample No. 2 position went on the field, and then the rounds were blasted by Vincent.

Even if the human being is even more powerful, how can he be the opponent of "Half God"!

What upset Arnold most was that Vincent was a player abandoned by the Celtics.

The deal before the All-Star break, Vincent was sent to Boston as a balance salary deal, and after the trade, the Celtics bought Vincent directly.It’s like telling Vincent: We don’t need you, the old guy!

The talent in the Celtic team is very good, especially in the second and third positions is even more overcrowded, and the appearance does not seem to be bad for Vincent as a veteran.

However, in today's game, the Celtics were blasted by Vincent, the "abandoned general", and they were proud of the number two or three, and no one could stop Vincent.

A person who was abandoned by his own team, turned over but hit the team to explode, this face is too fast, recalling the situation of buying Vincent after the original deal, can be called a textbook "buying beads", the entire Celtic management, presumably will feel very embarrassed.

...

Vincent's presence has raised the Clippers' rotation to a level, and now the Clippers' rotation is even stronger than the starting of some weak teams.

And with the continuous running-in of the lineup, the victory seems to become a very easy thing for the Clippers.For the Clippers, as long as two people feel good enough in every game, they can win the game, with the number of stars of the Clippers, two of them are in excellent condition, it is a rare and ordinary thing.

Players who can become superstars, maintaining a stable state is a must have the ability, without that star player, there will be a relatively large state of ups and downs in a short period of time.Stars have a strong ability to self-regulate, even if a certain ball is not good, through self-regulation can quickly get back to the state of the game, basically the state of the NBA star will be relatively stable, a state of unstable players, a good fight, also do not deserve to be called stars.

Three sections of playing cards after work, has become the daily life of the Clippers, continuous victory under the posture, Li Dai as the head coach, the work is also a lot easier.

The coaching staff of the NBA team already has an assistant coach who specializes in offense and defense, and the coach certainly does not have to be a parent.Li Dai now the most important task, but has become a regulation of the relationship between the players, so that the players can live together more harmoniously.

A team, the strength is weaker, more losses do not matter, the most afraid is the infighting between the players, even if the champion level of the team, if the players are not harmonious, and even fight each other, it is possible to fall apart in an instant.

Lee didn’t want that to happen to him.

Now the Clippers can be described as stars, so there will inevitably be a problem, that is, the distribution of ball rights, star players are hoping to get the ball, if the ball is unevenly distributed, there may be really awkward between players, and even insatiable.

There have been similar things in the NBA, such as when the key ball, a star player is not passing the ball, always do it alone, the effect is not good, and then the teammate ball began to complain, let him pass the ball to himself, the result of the two sides so a big quarrel, and finally someone was banned by the team penalty.

Once this happens, even if the two sides are finally calming down, but also the face and heart are at peace, the nail in the heart is buried, and when it comes to the game, there will be no problem.

After all, in the NBA, the players are still a very small number of people.

Or when arranging a key attack, star A said that it should be played like this, star B said that it should be played like this, star C gave a different view, and eventually everyone felt that they were right, everyone wanted to play according to their own ideas, and the situation was really messy.

Sometimes, the team's superstar is big enough, and the coach may not be able to control him.Similar things have happened in the real NBA, such as when the key ball, the team's superstar and coach have differences, and when the coach arranges tactics, the super giant simply came to the side and put a "I don't listen to me" look.

And the media is also afraid of the world is not chaotic, sometimes the virtual things can be said to be true, there are a little contradiction between the players, the media will fan the flames, pick things without limits.

Of course, Li Dai should avoid these situations.

Fortunately, these stars of the Clippers are Li Dai personally recruited, but also with the help of Li Dai, in order to be able to return to the game, with this, Li Dai in their hearts has established a prestige, let them listen to Li Dai's command, Li Dai on the team's control is no problem.

As for the relationship between the players, it really needs Li Dai to adjust it well.The distribution of ball power in the Clippers is indeed a big problem, and Li Dai's arrangement is often who feels good about who will fight.In any case, playing the star ball, to the field, even if it is unreasonable to play, as long as the ball is in, others will have nothing to say.

These players of the Clippers are not young boys anymore, they will not be like young people, a little more exciting like playing chicken blood, playing so many years of balls, one by one, know what to do and what not to do, know how to control their emotions, will not be so impulsive.

These Clippers players have all experienced career troughs, and these players who have grown up from setbacks are not in the same mentality as other players.

The kind of superstar who has been at the peak, no matter which team is "boss" mentality, let them be substitutes, even if they are not the tactical core of the team, they will be awkward, and there will often be incompatible situations between the stars and the team.

Clippers are different, they have stood at the top, but there is also the experience of falling from the peak, or because of injury, or because of age, they have changed from a star of all eyes to a scum, this big ups and downs, is a kind of training, but also let people grow.For them, being the boss of the team is not a problem, it is not a tactical core or a problem, at least they can stand on the court to enjoy basketball.

Sometimes, older players may not have the sharpness of their youth, but they know how to share, not only to share basketball, but also to share the joy of basketball.

With the progress of the game, the running-in between the players deepened, the Clippers gradually formed their own tactics, and the cooperation between the players became more and more tacit understanding.

But the Clippers play the star ball, the so-called cooperation, in fact, is to find ways to make a one-on-one singles opportunity for teammates, this kind of high school players will be a thing, for NBA players is a piece of cake.

...

March is a particularly important month for teams that hit the playoffs.

Throughout March, the Clippers race schedule is very good, and easy to do so, the Clippers actually achieved a total victory in March.This is also very rare in the NBA.

Many strong teams can win in February, one is less days in February, and the other is that the All-Star weekend tends to be arranged in February, which makes the game less than a week.Less game days also means that the game is less, naturally it is easier to get a full victory.

March is the team's impact on the playoffs in the golden stage, many teams will be in March, this time want to win the full victory, is really the embodiment of the team's strength.

The Clippers also caught up with the first Warriors in the West, and at the end of March, there were only 0.5 wins between the two teams.

The second place in the West, close to the first in the West, is certainly no problem to advance to the playoffs, and Li Dai is not satisfied with a Western second, he will set the goal of this season in the West first.Not just for the honor of a regular-season Western champion, but for a playoff home advantage.

Entering April, the Clippers’ first opponent was the first Golden State Warriors in the West.

The difference between the two teams is 0.5 games, as long as the Clippers win this game, the inside and outside are equal to winning two, the record will rise to the first position.

...

Warriors challenge the Clippers.

There are still 8 minutes left before the end of the game, but the Warriors are 20 points behind, and the coach of the Warriors team has simply changed the main force, which is also announcing that the Warriors have given up resistance and committed to the vote.

With the Warriors' offensive firepower, chasing 20 minutes in 8 minutes is not a difficult thing, but in today's game, Warriors coach Nicholas can't see half the hope.

“Good game, split into one-on-one singles!”Nicholas muttered.

The team's tactics did not play out, but instead became a star singles, which is the last thing Nicholas wanted to see.Nicholas can't help but think of last year's Western Conference final, the Warriors against the Rockets, the game will often be split into one-on-one singles, and sometimes even become a shooting war between the two sides, completely in the shooting feel.

For Nicholas, a tactical master, this kind of hand-worked shooting is almost like gambling luck, too much technical content!

The Clippers are very good at creating one-on-one singles opportunities, such as when attacking, everyone stops, opens the space for the ball holder, and forcibly creates a one-on-one singles situation.After trying to attack, the owner found no chance, and then passed the ball to another person, and then an attempt at a singles, a 24-second attack, enough to go back and forth three or four times.

Imagine that basketball is five people playing the game, if each attack let four of them try a singles, there will always be a chance to score.In fact, it does not take up to the last second, the Clippers players also have the magical ability to end, and forced throwing a whistle can often enter.

This kind of one-on-one star ball play, the competition is nothing more than two points, one is the individual singles ability of the star, and the other is the number of stars.The Clippers are better on both fronts, so as long as the game is split into one-to-one singles, other teams are necessarily not Clippers rivals.

“This fleet is ready!”Warriors coach Nicholas sighed.

From the performance point of view, the two teams are the first in the West and the second in the West, so when the two teams are not eliminated in advance, they will inevitably encounter the finals.At that time, the Warriors and the Clippers had to fight a seven-game and four-win battle.

“How will we fight then?”Nicholas’s face was full of worries and worries.

...

The regular season enters the final month, and Li Dai has begun to prepare for the playoffs.

Li Dai began to emphasize the team's defense.

The intensity of the playoffs is much larger than the regular season, especially in terms of defense, not a level at all, many stars to the playoffs stage, the data will drop, of course, the playoff stage, the team's overall data will also decline.

Historically, there have been many more attacking teams, relying on this strong defensive ability, in the playoffs, and even finally won the championship.But there has never been a scum-defensive team that can go far in the playoffs.Basically playing the third round of the playoffs, that is, the eastern and western finals, the remaining four teams are the top ten teams in the NBA with defensive efficiency.

So if the Clippers want to go further in the playoffs, playing star ball alone is not enough, but also need strong defensive ability.

The NBA's defense is mainly based on people's staring, relying on the individual ability of athletes.The former NBA was not allowed to use joint defense tactics, and the joint defense was even regarded as illegal defense at that time, which was to be blown foul.Later, with the integration of the NBA and international basketball, the rules of joint defense were gradually changed to allow teams to use joint defense tactics.However, the NBA still retains the rule of defending for three seconds, so the NBA's joint defense effect is far less than the joint defense effect under international rules.

How to break the joint defense, once an international problem, but with the development of basketball, the method of breaking joint defense is no longer a secret.European basketball coach with practical action to tell the world, want to break the joint defense is very simple, either the top breaker, or there are accurate three-point shooter, both have one, can easily break the joint defense tactics.

American players are physically and technically better than European players, so this method is also very effective in the NBA.Therefore, the NBA game, joint defense tactics are limited to the use of, only to see the opponent's lineup is not a good shooter, they can also control the defense in the penalty area, the team will sacrifice the joint defense tactics.Once the opponent has changed into a three-pointer with accurate pitching, the joint defense tactics will also be discontinued.

The defensive strategy used by the Clippers is the unlimited defense strategy of "changing people under cover", which is also the most popular defense strategy in the NBA at present, and there is a more demanding requirement to use this defensive strategy, that is, the team's No. 5 position should be agile enough, if the No. 5 player is slow to swallow, when it comes to blocking and tearing cover, it is impossible to change defense in time.

The vast majority of teams do not have this agility of the No. 5 position, so can only retreat to the second, choose the No. 1 to 4 position unlimited defense, the No. 5 position of the big man encountered the opponent block, only the defense and not change the defense.

The No. 5 position of the Clippers, whether it is the starter or the substitute is agile enough, so it is also one of the few teams in the league that can use unlimited defense.

And the Clippers players are still all-stars, even former superstars, this level of players, their own defensive ability will not be very bad.

It is often said that an All-Star player defends poorly, similar to the defense of the eye, the defense with the mouth, and the defense of the idea, is also from the star player.In fact, this is not because the star player will not let go, but because the player does not use his mind to defend, to put it bluntly, there is no defensive attitude.

Defensive such things, the most important two points are the body and attitude, the second is the defensive technology and defensive consciousness.

If the player is not strong enough, even if there is a shadow-level acting can easily deceive the offensive foul, it is impossible to become a defensive leader.Similarly, if the player has no defensive attitude at all, even if he is physically well, technically good, and conscious, he will still become a loophole on the field.

Players who can enter the All-Star Game are naturally first-class, so as long as they are willing to think about defending, the effect of defense will not go anywhere, at least better than the league average.

In the process of defense, the defensive attitude is the most important, but the defensive attitude is the most difficult thing to have.

...

The NBA's regular season ended in mid-April, so there were not many games in April, and the Clippers had only five regular-season games in April, and it was obviously impossible to improve the team's defensive strength through five games.

Li Dai put more hope in the first round of the playoffs, the West first to the West eighth, the possibility of capping is not great, Li Dai is hoping that through the first round of the playoffs, can make the team adapt to the intensity of the play earlier and the rhythm of the game.

At the same time, the selection of various awards in the NBA regular season has also begun, and Li Dai has once again won the nomination for the best coach, unlike last year, the possibility of Li Dai winning the award is the greatest.

Last year's Clippers didn't even make the playoffs, and Lee Dai's best coach nomination was more like a consolation prize for Lee's entry into the NBA.

But this year's situation is completely different, the Clippers' record is the first in the west, and this record alone makes Li Dai a strong contender for the best coach.

Li Dai did not care about these honors, and he put all his thoughts on the playoffs.

On April 12, the Clippers ended the final game of the regular season, also securing the first position in the West.

At the same time as the team won, Li Dai's system also received two huge experiences, one is the first time to lead the team into the playoffs reward, the second is the regular season Western champion reward.

“The system has been upgraded!”Li Dai's face showed an inconceivable joy, and he finally upgraded to the senior stage of the famous coach.
