Chapter 376. Chapter 377. Overthrow Strategy (Part [-])
As soon as the second quarter came up, the main lineups of both sides basically sat on the sidelines to rest, and it was completely a contest between the substitute lineups.
The Clippers and the Bobcats have one thing in common, that is, the depth of the lineup is relatively deep.
So this also allows the main players to get more rest time off the court.
But when it comes to the bench lineup, I'm afraid the entire league can't find a few teams with a deeper depth than the Bobcats.
With the in-depth confrontation between the two sides, the Bobcats gradually gained the upper hand.
This made the Clippers head coach Dunleavy Sr. have to take his main lineup ahead of time.
Seeing Deng Lewei's substitution, Liu Rui didn't hold back on the sidelines. By interspersing, he gradually brought back the main players who had rested for a long time in the first quarter.
Throughout the second quarter, the two teams can be said to be evenly matched, and the score has always been leading up and down.
This made Liu Rui have to sigh that the overall strength of the west is indeed half a grade higher than that of the east.
The Clippers, who can barely qualify for the playoffs in the West, have already caused themselves so much trouble.
If you put this strength in the East, there will definitely be the Clippers in the top four in the East.
The strong teams in the East can be said to be ahead of the West temporarily, but in terms of overall strength, the East is indeed far behind.
With the main lineups of both sides basically returning, the two teams are also continuing the tug-of-war on the field.
Due to the excellent defensive ability of the Bobcats, the Clippers can only rely on Brand many times on the offensive end to attack in the low post.
Otherwise, the other points will not take much advantage.
The Bobcats were not comfortable on the court, although Liu Rui put most of the offensive burden on Joe Johnson, allowing other players to relieve Joe Johnson's offensive pressure through off-ball pick-and-rolls.
But the person who defended Joe Johnson in this game was the old cat Mobley, a player with excellent defensive ability at the second position.
So this also caused a lot of trouble for Joe Johnson.
Even in 1v1 singles, they faced strong defensive pressure.
In addition, Brand is not slow to move on the field as a power forward, so the Bobcats still do not take much advantage in the defensive counterattack.
This also caused both sides to feel uncomfortable on the field, and the scores fluctuated and staggered each other, which perfectly explained why it is inextricable.
At halftime, the Bobcats were on the road with:
47:48
Instead, it fell behind the Clippers by one point.
Commentator Jing: "At the end of halftime, we can see that the two teams played very anxiously in the first half. The number of times they led each other and overtook the score was as high as 14 times at halftime."
"Since the start of the season, this situation is actually quite rare on the Bobcats, because the Bobcats' offense is very fast, so we have adapted to it always playing high-scoring games."
"And a stalemate situation like this game is actually quite rare. On the other hand, the Clippers are the same. They also struggled throughout the first half."
"As for who will take the lead in opening up the situation after returning from the second half, it depends on what changes the head coaches of the two sides will make in midfield."
Partner: "That's right, in this anxious state, every decision made by the head coach can have a great impact on the trend of the game."
"Deng Levy can definitely be called a famous coach in the league, and Liu Rui is one of the representatives of the new generation of coaches, so the score on this field is also like a battle of wits between the old and new generations of coaches."
"So this game will be interesting next."
Facing the situation in the first half, Liu Rui also frowned and thought for a long time.
Although the Clippers' players in various positions are not top-notch, each player has no particularly obvious weaknesses.
And take one out alone, and throw it to any team can still secure the starting position.
And this kind of team with very average players and stable players is one of the existences that Liu Rui hates the most.
Just like losing to the Pistons in the playoffs last year, the entire Pistons don't seem to have any particularly famous traffic stars.
But the whole team wins in unity and stability, so the Bobcats have nothing to target.
In Liu Rui's view, this is even more difficult than the Heat.
So the more this kind of moment, the more it needs a leader to open up the situation for the team first, and then drive the offense of other teammates.
Once there is no one in the team who can tear apart the defense, the situation on the court will become a non-stop transmission of the ball between the players, and finally they will have to make shots under the pressure of 24 seconds.
Thinking of this, Liu Rui arranged more pick-and-roll offenses for Joe Johnson in the midfield, trying to replace Mobley who was defending Joe Johnson through pick-and-rolls.
Let Joe Johnson try to misplace Cassel as much as possible.
After returning from the second half, the Clippers' lineup remained unchanged, but Liu Rui took the lead in making adjustments to his lineup.
As soon as he came back in the second half, the lineup Liu Rui sent to the field were:
Mo Williams, Joe Johnson, Wallace, Okafor and Jefferson.
Different from the first half, Liu Rui chose a relatively conservative style of play in the first half.
Although Christie's play can limit the Clippers' offense, it also limits the Bobcats' own offense.
Although Christie's presence also made the entire Bobcats team perform very well on the defensive end, but faced with this mutual leading situation, Liu Rui obviously couldn't feel satisfied.
After all, unlike the Clippers, the Bobcats are playing away games. The longer the delay, the more dangerous it is for the Bobcats, even though the Bobcats still have a big heart, Mr. Joe Johnson.
And because Brand beat Wallace in the low post many times throughout the first half, and the Bobcats' own offensive and defensive transitions were restrained throughout the first half.
Therefore, Liu Rui also put Wallace in the small forward position again, and it is definitely the best choice for Okafor to defend Brand in the low post.
In addition, since Liu Rui chose to give up the competition on the defensive end, of course he will make changes on the offensive end, so Jefferson's playing is also very important.
This is the difference between Liu Rui and Skiles. If it was Skiles, he would only find a way to become better on the defensive end, so as to limit the Bobcats' offense as much as possible, and then find opportunities to score by himself.
So the Bulls also lost to the Bobcats without any suspense.
The half-court competition with the Clippers has proved that the Bobcats are at most half a catty with them on the defensive end, and it is difficult to achieve a real lead.
So Liu Rui boldly overturned his previous tactics and chose another extreme method to actively open up the situation on the court.
Although I don't know what the result of this adjustment will be, this is the coaching philosophy shared by Liu Rui and Montgomery.
I would rather fail than stand still.
A microcosm of the game as a reformer of the era...
