Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

The Clippers still suppressed the Timberwolves at the end of the fourth quarter, relying on the personal ability of the star.

Paul hit two consecutive mid-range shots at the critical moment, both of which were covered by Li Lianglai.

When Li Liang is in the pick-and-roll, whether he withdraws or cuts in, he is quite a threat.

This gave Paul more room to shoot. Paul made two mid-range shots to stabilize the situation.

Subsequently, the Timberwolves made a mistake at a critical moment, Li Liang misplaced to defend Kevin Love, and a [Death Coil] broke Love's ball.

This mistake was fatal, and Love had to foul Li Liang and send Li Liang to the free throw line.

Going to the free throw line is to send points. Li Liang made two free throws and widened the gap between the two sides again.

Subsequently, Martin hit a three-pointer in the counterattack.

But this three-pointer came a little late.

After that, Griffin missed a layup and gave the Timberwolves another chance to counterattack.

In this case, Li Liang fouled Brewer on the counterattack and sent Brewer to the free throw line.

Rivers seemed a little dissatisfied with this, and walked to the sidelines and said to Li Liang: "Why did you foul, this is to give them points."

But Li Liang said: "Two points are better than three points. We have more leads. When the time comes, both sides will make free throws. They won't be able to chase the points. Trust me."

When Rivers heard it, it seemed to make sense.

At this time, Brewer's first free throw was not hit.

So, Rivers replaced Jordan with Crawford.

With Paul, Li Liang, Crawford, Griffin and Butler on the Clippers field, they all have good free throw percentages.

Among them, Paul, Li Liang and Crawford are all amazing players with accurate free throws.

With these three on the court, any free throw is enough to reassure Rivers.

Brewer made the second free throw, and they only recovered one point.

Time was running out, and the Timberwolves had to foul.

In the end, the crime fell on Li Liang.

Li Liang is tall, catches the ball steadily, and is accurate in free throws.

When I was in college, I did this specifically, and it was not stable.

Another two free throws were made, not giving the Timberwolves a chance.

Time was running out, the Timberwolves called a timeout, and wanted to arrange a tactic.

As a result, as soon as he received the ball from the outside, he ran a few times tactically. When the ball reached Brewer, Li Liang fouled again.

Adelman was speechless, who the hell is this?

He has coached the NBA for more than 20 years, and he can be regarded as a veteran coach in the NBA. He has never seen such a person.

Foul by the leading side at the last minute against the trailing side?

What kind of tactic is this?

As a result, Brewer stood on the free throw line and made another two free throws!

After the calf, this is still a cat.

Fouls are all about buying time. It is best to score three points, or even two points.

If you score 1 point, the point difference is getting bigger and bigger!

The Timberwolves players still faithfully implemented the foul tactics, but this time it was committed on Paul.

Paul also made two free throws to further widen the point difference.

The Clippers no longer foul here, it's unnecessary.

As Love missed a three-pointer from the outside, the Timberwolves gave up resistance, and the last minute was consumed.

In the end, the Clippers defeated the Timberwolves on the road by 8 points at 110:102 at home and won two consecutive victories.

As soon as the game was over, Paul stepped forward and asked Li Liang, "Where did you come up with this tactic?"

Brother Pao can be regarded as a tactical expert. All kinds of offensive, defensive, and key ball tactics are memorized in his mind, and he can pull them out at any time.

But this is the first time he has seen such a tactic where the leading side commits fouls.

Li Liangdao: "I figured it out in college, it's very useful."

Li Liang was at the University of Kentucky at that time, as the end of the bench, the free throw executor of foul tactics at critical moments, thinking about it when he had nothing to do.

He told Calipari that he tried it in some games, but it didn't work every time.

Because there is a premise that one's own free throws must be very stable.

If one or two free throws are particularly bad, like the Lakers Howard, it is best not to use this tactic.

The Clippers are different. Except for Jordan, who can't make free throws, everyone else's free throws are very good.

Anyway, just replace Jordan, or let him not catch the ball, this trick really works.

Paul nodded, "Not bad, you can be a coach now."

Li Liang also agreed, "I also think that the boss is so rich, he should hire me as a coach and give me a raise..."

The two laughed and left the locker room.

After Rivers shook hands with Adelman, he silently recorded the tactics at this critical moment in a small notebook.

It seems that, as Mike Brown said, Bruce Lee is indeed a treasure trove.

...

The Clippers beat the Timberwolves at home without any risk.

However, the team's defensive problems have not been resolved, and in the end it was hard to rely on the strength of the players.

The potential of the team has not been brought into full play.

After the game on the 11th, the team got a day off.

On this day, Mike Brown completed his contract with the Clippers and officially became the assistant coach of the Clippers.

Because Brown was fired by the Lakers, the contract is still valid, and there are two years left on the four-year contract.

So the Lakers need to pay Brown a severance package, which is about $9 million.

And this time, he signed a contract with the Clippers, and the period after negotiation is one year.

Because the Clippers really have too many assistant coaches, another one was added out of thin air, in fact, for Li Liang.

Mike Brown already took the salary of the Lakers, and he doesn't care if he gets another salary in the Clippers.

Although the deadline is only one year, Ballmer is very generous, and the annual salary given to him is quite high.

Brown readily agreed.

He thought that although the contract was only for one year, with the Lakers' contract, he didn't have to worry about money for the time being.

And even if he leaves the Clippers next year, there are still plenty of opportunities waiting for him.

At his level, employment is no longer a problem.

In addition to these, there is another important question. He doesn't know whether Li Liang will make another choice next year?

Li Liang signed a two-year contract with no options. It stands to reason that he will definitely play in the Clippers for two years.

But Li Liang has never played cards according to common sense, so it is really hard to figure him out.

Brown thought, if the cooperation is still happy this year, won't it be over by hugging Li Liang's thigh by then?

When such thoughts came out, Brown himself felt that he was worthless.

Tangtang is the best coach. Brown has achieved what he is today because of his superhuman courage and hard-working spirit.

How did he become like this after being the coach of the Lakers for one season?

Brown himself can't figure it out, so let him sign the contract first.

After signing the contract, Brown participated in team training at noon and afternoon.

Putting on the Clippers sportswear, Brown looked a lot more energetic.

Before training, Rivers convened a meeting with the coaching staff to discuss the construction of the team's defensive system for the next period of time.

In response to the situation in the last game, Brown went back and looked at the team's game video of this season and gave a few suggestions.

"First, Caron Butler is going to retire from the starting position. My suggestion is to go to Barnes and let Barnes play shooting guard;

Second, the rotation needs to be changed. Bruce Lee cannot be allowed to play with the second team for too long. Although the effect is not bad, it is a waste. My suggestion is to let Griffin lead the second team more, let him rest in the middle of the first and third quarters, play at the end, finish the single quarter, and start the double quarter;

Third, Bruce Lee should appear in the fourth position more often. I even had a bold idea last season to let Bruce Lee play the fifth position. But this still needs more verification, he can play a greater role in the fourth and fifth positions.

Fourth, it's about defensive focus..."

Brown put forward several opinions at once, the first three of which are mainly solutions to some difficulties in the current Clippers defensive system.

The latter is Brown's views on the team's defensive strategy and the league's defensive trends.

The first three items are highly operational, while the latter ones are highly conceptual.

As soon as these suggestions came out, Rivers felt that Mike Brown really had something.

His defensive ideas and strategies are very different from traditional hardcore defensive coaches like Tom Thibodeau.

Of course, Brown was also a representative of the hardcore defensive coaches in the Eastern Conference in the Cavaliers. For some reason, his thinking began to change.

Rivers asked this question, and Brown said: "Always thinking, always discussing, you know, Bruce likes to discuss tactical issues on the bench. Some of his ideas are often very interesting, very advanced, and very inspiring."

Rivers thought of the "penalty kick tactic" that Li Liang came up with in the last game, and felt that Brown's statement made sense.

And Tai Lunlu on the side was stunned for a while, feeling that he had learned a lot.

For a while, some ghostly thoughts emerged in his mind.

One day, he will also be a real head coach.
