start with scouting

Chapter 734



Chapter 734

The official updated the schedule accordingly. The finals are scheduled to start on the 27th, and the Kings have six days to prepare.

Su Yang took a rest for a day and rushed to the training base early on the 23rd to have a meeting with the coaching staff and scouting team.

"Today's meeting will take a long time. We will divide it into morning and afternoon. We will discuss the characteristics of the Cavaliers' offense and defense in the morning, and discuss how to play against the Cavaliers in the afternoon. Everyone can say whatever comes to mind, without worrying about the order of speeches..."

The regular season played against the Cavaliers twice, and the Kings lost twice. Among them, the Christmas game was still a disastrous defeat. It can be said that those two games lacked reference value. In addition, the 4-3 reversal of the Spurs took too much time, and the 4-0 sweep of the Rockets came too soon. , The various plans have not been prepared, and the scouting team has not watched the video in advance. To fully understand the Cavaliers, the Kings almost need to start from scratch.

"To maintain efficiency, we take a 45-minute break every 10 minutes, and the staff will take care of the coffee delivery..."

Su Yang roughly explained the various matters of the meeting, and Mike Brown and others joked that it felt like going back to school.

After the chat was over, Blatche, the director of scouting, began to introduce the situation of the Cavaliers, starting with the most basic staffing.

"Before the deadline, the Cavaliers defeated the Raptors to advance to the finals. The 13-man roster commonly used by the Cavaliers is Irving, Butler, LeBron, Anthony, Tristan Thompson, JR Smith, Shumpert, Korver, Wade, Jose. Calderon, Sadie Osman, Antezizic, and Channing Frye, with Perkins and Perlanz among the options..."

During Blatche's narration, Su Yang stared at the report and browsed at the same time. The basic information of the fifteen people made his mind swell.

Although many people have a general image, but the process that should be followed must be followed. The first reaction is that the two positions of the Cavaliers inside power forward and center are weak. Except for Anthony and TT Thompson, the other players in those two positions are either not large enough. , either older or younger, which is standard equipment for a multi-giant team. After all, the giants take most of the wages, and most of the substitutes are basic salaries or rookies.

"They won 65 games in the regular season, and in those 65 games, the Big Four + Wade all played, and the other lost games did not play with the Big Four, that is, they never lost while maintaining a complete and healthy lineup. ball…"

Just listening to the introduction is full of oppression.

It’s normal to think about it carefully. The Big Four + Wade play together. Irving, Butler and Anthony’s three-pointers are not bad. LeBron and Anthony can also attack with the ball in the low post. Germany, all are breakthrough players.

Any form of defense is going to be tricky.

In other words, it is impossible to adopt a certain main defensive strategy for a long time, and it must be adjusted according to the situation on the spot. It is not difficult for the Kings coaching staff, but it is a great challenge for the players, not to mention that the Cavaliers must take turns to single out Curry.

While Su Yang was thinking about it, Blatche finished a brief overview of the Cavaliers lineup and various statistics in the regular season. In addition to the points allowed per game, the Cavaliers' overall shooting percentage, three-point shooting percentage, rebounds, steals, blocks, etc. Data, almost all of them rank high.

Retired celebrities such as Pippen and Barkley are also after the formation of the Cavaliers' record in March. Various praises for the Cavaliers are very rare in the entire NBA history. The Lakers F04 in 4 was even more exaggerated. After all, Malone and Payton were about to retire at that time, and the Cavaliers' F4 was the real year of the year.

What Wade, JR Smith, Korver, Shumpert and other substitutes are also very strong. It is not the Clippers' lineup with luxurious starting and garbage substitutes in the past few years. If you have to find an analogy, it is a bit like getting Paul two years ago. George's ultra-luxe king.

At that time, Su Yang was busy dealing with the investigations of the Commerce Commission and the Ministry of Justice, and did not pay attention to the highest call for the Cavaliers to win the championship.

In short, it is strong.

Feng Shui also turns around, three years east of the river, three years west of the river.

Now that the king's lineup is no longer luxurious, it's the Cavaliers' turn to be awesome.

"OK, let's move on to the next session, and learn about the main offensive and defensive characteristics of the Cavaliers. The recording time will be quite long. As I said before, after watching a part of it, everyone thinks of what needs to be paid attention to, and directly discuss it..."

Su Yang waved his hand, assistant coach Di Brown pressed the play button, and the content made by the video coordinators began to play.

Starting from the heads-up part, Irving, LeBron, Anthony, Butler, and even Wade's heads-up thinking will be shown one after another. In addition to setting up the formation with the starting hand and directly positioning, there are also a lot of slice screens and ladder screens to create singles. Pick space.

In terms of creating heads-up opportunities, the Cavaliers obviously don't like to use multiplayer running routines such as lower screens or STS screens. They like to stick in place to do screens. The core idea is probably who is singled out and who runs, which means taking turns to save energy. .

Looking at Anthony's low-post turnaround jumper, Su Yang thought that Antetokounmpo's chasing cap had already been arranged. Looking at the idea of ​​combining energy saving and reviewing the average playing time of the Cavaliers, he found that the four giants of the Cavaliers actually did not play more than the average playing time.

Looking at the overall average moving speed of the Cavaliers and the individual averages of LeBron and others, they are also ranked at the bottom of the league.

A number of statistical statistics + observation with the naked eye, Su Yang naturally came up with an idea, that is to play fast break.

In the world of martial arts, the only thing that can't be broken is fast!

Playing fast seems to be omnipotent. Even Pelicans rookie coach Willie Green asked his players to play fast, hoping that the players can run the ball and not let the offense stagnate, but it is only for the sake of fast and fast. The record is true.

While thinking about it, the video display of the heads-up part of the Cavaliers' attack ended, and Su Yang signaled the audience to express their opinions.

"The Cavaliers have less running screens. We may not be able to switch defenses infinitely, and even the effect of single defense is biased, but we can delay a lot, prolong their attack time, and then reduce their scoring efficiency as a means of winning..."

"Compared to the Cavaliers scoring easily after the overall linkage, I think it can encourage or induce the Cavaliers to play more singles, which is also the efficiency problem that Di Brown talked about just now. In particular, Irving's character can be used. He likes individual performances, especially in this game. In the regular season, Irving did not cooperate with Anthony to break the three-point record, so we can carry out in-depth development..."

"From the perspective of defensive resource allocation, I also agree with Mike Brown and Di Brown's views, that is, to encourage or induce the Cavaliers to play more singles. We have Giannis at the power forward position and Brogdon at the shooting guard position. With Covington as the starting small forward, because LeBron's true singles are the least in the Cavaliers, the effect will not be bad..."

From the ease of use of defensive operations to the rationality of defensive resource allocation, the coaching staff is divided into three angles to emphasize why the Cavaliers should be encouraged or induced to play heads-up.Su Yang nodded while listening, and by the way, looked back at the percentage of points the Cavaliers got through heads-up.

Statistics show that the Cavaliers averaged 31.6% of their points per game throughout the season from heads-up, and in some anxious games, the proportion of heads-up scoring soared to 47.2%. In those games, the Cavaliers lost more than they won. Guarded.

But how to prevent the Cavaliers from using a lot of heads-up is a difficult problem, and you have to slowly watch the videos of other teams to learn.

Fortunately, in the era of big data, the analysis is very fast. If you change to 90s, you have to rely on inspiration and watch videos repeatedly to get this kind of thinking. Su Yang can't help but sigh in his heart: This is why the former Rockets boss Alexander chose Morey, who focuses on data analysis, succeeded Dawson. Although the Rockets did not succeed, data analysis did gradually prevail in the league.

Between thoughts, the discussion paused.

Summarize various viewpoints first, and think together in the afternoon.

Everyone continued to watch the video, and it was the turn of the Cavaliers to play the joint offensive part, which was also relatively simple and less running. LeBron and Butler took turns to organize, and the two led the second team to play in the second quarter and early fourth quarter , but the record is very good.

The meeting in the morning ended with cups of coffee. In the afternoon, Su Yang led everyone to watch the intense games of the Cavaliers, observing and analyzing how the Cavaliers’ opponents pushed the Cavaliers to such a point. Brother Antetokounmpo and others also came Onlookers participate.

Preliminary conclusions were not reached until [-] pm.

But it is a conclusion, but there is no clear main strategy, Su Yang still decides to make adjustments according to the situation on the spot.

Anyway, it's a bit like the HGT team playing a team, there is no specific idea, wait until the team battle starts, and watch the fight!
 I am worried that some veterans will feel that this chapter is a waste. Let me explain that the Cavaliers have changed a lot this season. There is no prototype to use as a reference. The plot of the regular season matchup does not have a specific play. This chapter is mainly to establish the basic operation of a Cavaliers , In fact, you can also explain while writing the game, but that will explain too much and destroy the reading experience.
