??Chris Paul was full of confidence before training began.

Why, because he is one of the best point guards in the league and perhaps even one of the best point guards in history.

Paul has absolute confidence in his stadium insight, stadium wisdom and tactical understanding.

Paul has been involved in basketball since he was 3 years old.

I took the two basketballs my father bought for myself and went to the basement of my home to practice ball.

Like many basketball stars, Paul is also a versatile sports expert before determining the basketball path.

He is a rugby master, and there are more people on the rugby field than basketball, and his tactics are more complicated.

Paul is able to be at ease on the rugby field, which shows how smart and leading he is.

Although his height limits him.

When he arrived in high school, Paul's height rose sharply! He rose to 183...

Then he started his basketball journey and always served as the team's point guard, and he could only play as a point guard.

During his years in college, Paul learned various basketball skills and tactics in Wake Forest, and these things were enough to be used in NBA.

Because of many more complex tactics, NBA will not be able to use them, and NBA's offensive time is much shorter than NCAA.

So for Paul, playing in NBA, commanding tactics is much simpler.

When Negro coached in the first two seasons, the team's tactical system was relatively open, and Paul and other players could fully utilize their offensive talents.

The disadvantage of course is that it lacks resilience. Whether it is offense or defense, it cannot reach the level of a strong team.

Paul favored Rivers in the hope that Rivers could bring the system and resilience that champion teams had, like the Celtics.

From 2008 to 2012, the Celtics have been the benchmark for league team basketball.

They play in a regular and strict manner, and the players perform their own duties, making them one of the most difficult teams in the league.

After Rivers joined the Clippers, Paul was looking forward to what system Rivers, Gentry and Hill would build for the Clippers.

And what role can you play in this system?

Between his confidence and his relationship with Rivers, he was sure that he must be the team's tactical core, without a doubt.

Although Li Liang is really strong, Paul has played with him and was eliminated by the Lakers, he knows that this kid has a terrible energy.

But Paul, who is unwilling to give up, just signed the team's highest salary contract, how could he be inferior to Li Liang in tactical status?

I never thought about it.

The team's tactical training began soon.

Rivers briefly introduced the team's tactical system design to the players in the new season.

For the NBA team, it has long passed the era of a tactic that conquers the world.

Just Mike Brown is not very good at brains, and in order to cope with the season, he said he would play Princeton.

Princeton’s routine, which team will not use it now has the chance to use it? It’s just about using it more and using it less.

The coaches are learning more and more, and with the development of big data, the tactical systems of each team are converging.

But in the final analysis, we still need to design the main tactical routines based on the characteristics of the players.

For example, if you have Kobe, you need to design a one-on-one single tactical routine for him.

How to make your star players comfortable singles is a very knowledgeable tactic.

After careful consideration, Rivers designed three main tactics for the Clippers on offense.

First, the pick-and-roll-breaking system with Chris Paul as the core.

Paul's passing, organization and attack ability are the basis for the Clippers to survive, so Rivers must highlight Paul's status and operate the offense with him as the core.

The second is the empty-handed running tactic with Li Liang as the core, mainly box placement.

Li Liang's empty-handed running position is not the top, and his C&S has always been a bit strange (the reason is that his strength is empty shots rather than catch shots), but his three-point shooting ability is really epic.

Rivers believes that Li Liang's playing style is quite consistent with Paul's playing style of the ball, and it is a perfect match.

His firepower on the flanks can allow Paul and Griffin to gain more space for activity in the middle.

Just like Kobe and Nash when they were in the Lakers, the two elders of Xuanming had Li Liang's space, which was like fish in water.

The third is the low-level singles system with Griffin as the core.

This system is relatively simple, and Rivers chose this as the second choice before Li Liang came.

After Li Liang came, Rivers used it as a supplement to the Paul Li Liang system.

Griffin's ability at low posts cannot support the offensive tactical system of a strong team, but it is more than enough to supplement it.

It should be said that Rivers' design is still very regular, and the team's tactical training is also carried out in this order.

Li Liang did not raise any objections and participated in the tactical training in accordance with the coach's instructions.

This made Rivers relieved and felt that Li Liang was still very professional as a player.

Li Liang, Paul, Griffin, Jordan Jr. and Caron Butler, as scheduled starters, began to practice basic tactical routines.

As he practiced, Rivers discovered that the difference between people's brains was really a bit big.

Butler, as a supporting role and a free agent, and as a veteran, performed in a very modest way.

Griffin's reaction was a little slow. The coach had to remind him twice before he could get it in place for each tactical running position.

But overall, the performance is still very good.

Jordan Jordan was not good at all. At the beginning, he played two routines well. After more routines, he began to fall into a state of confusion.

For example, in the middle pick-and-roll cooperation, there are four main changes in theory. Jordan can still accept these four changes after practicing.

But in addition to these four changes, six to seven other changes can be derived.

These changes are all reorganized tactical adjustments when an attack fails.

Jordan was confused about these things, and often stood near the three-second zone and didn't know what to do.

At this time, Chris Paul would loudly remind Jordan Jr. how to go.

But the problem is that Li Liang will also guide Jordan Jr. But the direction he guides is different from Paul’s!

For example, the simplest pick-and-roll is the pick-and-roll in the middle coordination between the two sides.

Paul at No. 1 was on the right and passed the ball to Butler on the left wing.

After receiving the ball, Butler directly broke through from the left to kill the basket. Griffin and Jordan Jr. on both sides of the three-second zone, one went to the bottom corner of the left to open space for Butler, and the other went down to the inside, preparing to grab the frontcourt rebound or catch the ball and attack directly.

Butler can choose to attack by himself, or pass the ball to Jordan Jr. or Griffin.

But if Butler's attack or pass is blocked, he will probably return the ball to Paul on the outside.

At this time, Paul asked Jordan Jr. to move out to make a pick-and-roll for himself.

However, Li Liang, who was ambushing the right bottom corner to attract the attention of Li Liang, believed that Jordan should move to the left and empty the right wing, so that Li Liang could open up the space to conduct a one-on-one attack.

Paul believes that Jordan Jr. should still pull out to make a pick-and-roll, and then Li Liang chose to cut the basket at a free throw.

In this way, Paul can hold the ball in his hand, choosing to attack by himself or pass the ball to Li Liang who cut the ball.

"This is also an offensive method, but I think it is not conducive to the team's tactical offensiveness. This kind of play is not aggressive enough, we have lost a chance to cooperate with the scoring, and there will be less time. We need a more concise and effective scoring method to break through the opponent's defense line. Can you understand?"

"There is no problem with this style of play. This is the safest and most capable of playing the player's ability and effectiveness. This is a team style of play."

There was some dispute between Li Liang and Paul.

However, the dispute between the two remained at the tactical level and the words were not intense.

Rivers was a little worried. It seemed that the two of them were really competing.

Subsequently, the two had more and more disagreements.

Paul hopes that he is the absolute controller and starting point of the team's tactics, and he tends to implement some more complex tactical changes.

Li Liang is different. He believes that once the tactic fails, the ball should be sent into the basket in a simple way as possible.

Whether it is a one-on-one eating or a small cooperation between two or three people with a clever inspiration, it is a good way to solve the problem.

Any excellent player will have his own stubborn side.

The two of them argued more and more, their words were always restrained, but their tone became more and more violent.

Rivers had to stand up and mediate, saying that the specific tactical implementation also required the coaching staff to arrange the preseason situation.

Jordan and others didn't seem to understand it when they heard the two guys quarreling.

What are they talking about? Is playing basketball so complicated?

After Rivers mediated, Paul didn't say anything else. After all, this was the coach he found himself and should obey.

Li Liang was not polite. After the tactical training, he said directly to Rivers: "I think the off-ball running tactics you designed for me are not suitable for me. I need the tactics of holding the ball. I don't need to transport the ball around a lot, but I have to have the ball in my hand, instead of running around empty-handed. Doug."

Rivers was a little confused. Unexpectedly, Li Liang proposed a tactic that he didn't like in his first training class.

What should I do?

Rivers looked at the boss Ballmer who was on the sidelines and watching the training with great interest, and had to say, "Okay, I will discuss it with the coaching team."

Rivers sighed in his heart, thinking that this nm is a ball boss.
