Y13 [EN]: Chapter 151

Y13-151 Final (Final)

This tactical drill began under the direction of Coach Terry Stotts, who devised the tactic himself.

“Now, we’re going to practice the ‘Staggered Screen’ play. Unlike the original 2-2 pick-and-roll, this play uses two screeners. The order and position of the screens are both important. The other players practiced it yesterday, so they should know it well, but Yoon is new, so let’s get him familiar with it first. I heard you got the explanation from Barea?”

Youngjae knew that the word ‘staggered’ meant ‘with a time difference.’ He understood ‘time difference screen’ and had heard a simple explanation of the players’ movements.

“Yes. I heard that Nowitzki and Chandler set a double screen with a slight time difference. And the two screeners move to the outside and the paint, respectively, and the ball handler looks for an open player. It’s to induce the opponent’s rotation defense to get tangled up. If I’m not handling the ball, I can move through the curl or move to the strong side.”

Coach Terry Stotts nodded, saying that was it.

“That’s right. Barea explained it well. Miami is a team with strengths in pick-and-roll defense. So our team’s simple pick-and-rolls were often blocked. The key is the opponent’s trap defense. It’s a way to put maximum pressure on the ball handler and suppress the rolling. Joel Anthony and Udonis Haslem are used to trap defense, but Bosh is not. Miami’s backcourt defense is strong, but their frontcourt is relatively short, so they have no choice but to use trap defense. Perhaps the opponent will be confused at first about whether to block Nowitzki or Chandler, and then a hole will open up in one of their rotation defenses. Then an open chance will come out of there. If we mix this tactic in, the opponent’s bench and players will have a headache.”

Stotts explained the background in detail for Youngjae, who had only heard a brief explanation. In addition to the framework of the tactic, he also gave the reasons for using the tactic and analysis of the opposing players. This is because players who can make plays like Youngjae can improvise when the tactic is blocked and create unexpected derivative plays.

“That’s enough explanation, now let’s move on to practice. Yoon will defend directly and then execute it. First, Kidd, Terry, Peja, Nowitzki, and Chandler will attack, and Barea, Yoon, Brewer, Marion, and Haywood will defend. This time, Nowitzki will set the first screen on the left, and Chandler will set the screen on the right immediately after. We’ll see how the defending team responds to this. Let’s start!”

[Dallas Mavericks! They are overwhelming Miami with a completely different performance from Game 1! Only 15 seconds left in the 3rd quarter! The score is 86 to 77! The home team, Dallas Mavericks, are taking a 9-point lead!]

Matt Devlin of TNT commentated in an excited voice, and Kevin McHale, who was sitting next to him, nodded in agreement.

[The Dallas Mavericks didn’t have a proper attack in Game 1. They are a team that develops their offense around jumpers, but the jumpers just weren’t going in. But today, the team’s field goal percentage is over 50%, so they are showing a really strong performance!]

Youngjae glanced at Kidd, who was giving him the last attack, and nodded. He judged that it would be good for the team’s victory to entrust the final attack to Youngjae, who had a good shooting touch today.

[Youngjae Yoon receives the ball at the top! 1:1 against Mike Miller!]

Youngjae stood still with the ball, then took a step back. Mike Miller was aware that Youngjae often used step-backs, so he rushed forward without realizing it. Youngjae smiled and bounced forward elastically.

[Youngjae Yoon breaks through by using the step-back as a feint!!!]

The Dallas home fans stood up and started shouting at Youngjae’s tremendous breakthrough, and Mark Cuban, who was sitting in the front row, started shouting Y13 at the top of his lungs.

[Miami is rushing to help! Chris Bosh and Udonis Haslem are trying to cover into the paint!]

Dallas responded very flexibly to Miami’s defense, which was determined not to allow the last possession. Tyson Chandler and Dirk Nowitzki simultaneously tied up Haslem and Bosh with screens, creating a straight path for Youngjae for a moment.

“Haaah!!!”

Before the path disappeared, Youngjae quickly penetrated to the low post and jumped. Haslem barely shook off Chandler’s screen and jumped with Youngjae at a slightly late timing.

[Udonis Haslem! As expected of Miami’s captain! He breaks through the screen with his body and jumps up to block the path of the arm!]

[It’s an easy layup, but if it’s blocked like that, the 3rd quarter could end without even getting a foul!]

Youngjae broke down his layup posture himself, brought the ball in, grabbed it with both hands, and shot it up with his arms in a proper posture, as if he were shooting a spot-up shot while floating in the air. The shot, which was shot with his upper body and arms crammed into the shooting mechanism as much as possible even though his body was leaning forward, went up lightly on the rim, albeit uneasily.

Thump thump-

Swish!

Beeeep-

[KABOOOOOOM!! OH MY GODNESS!!!]

[Buzzer beater!! Youngjae Yoon widens the gap to 88 to 77, an 11-point difference, with an amazing shot! With this, Youngjae Yoon has played 20 minutes in today’s game until the 3rd quarter, scoring 19 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, and 1 turnover!! He is showing a play that washes away the regret of the first game!]

[It couldn’t be helped, but blocking Yoon with Miller was unreasonable from the start. Blocking a player with quickness and a good first step with these two slow players is no different from a mismatch. Perhaps they thought Nowitzki would make the last attack, and Yoon would only take off-ball movement. Yoon has been brilliant this season, but most of the clutches have still been handled by Nowitzki or Terry!]

Matt Devlin matched Kevin McHale’s commentary and naturally turned the topic to the final 4th quarter.

[If it’s like this, it seems like they can definitely avenge Game 1?!]

[Of course, basketball is a sport where you never know what will happen, so you shouldn’t let your guard down, but momentum is really important. Dallas until the 3rd quarter is literally a ‘perfect’ and extremely strong offensive team, to the extent that the Miami Heat can’t use their strength. In the first game, the Miami Heat broke through Dallas’ zone defense with Chalmers’ explosion, but today they are struggling to block Dallas’ attack using the staggered screen. The Heat players and coaching staff are all visibly embarrassed because they are using a tactic that makes good use of players with perfect pop and roll options like Nowitzki and Chandler in a surprise attack.]

[It’s really amazing. It’s no exaggeration to say that they are reversing the disadvantage of individual ability with thorough strategy and unconventional lineups. When the attack didn’t go well in the first game, they brought out a new tactic in the finals that they had never used during the season. In addition, they greatly increased the screen ratio of Chandler instead of Nowitzki. As a result, the Heat players are confused about defending Nowitzki and the opponent’s pick-and-roll defense. It’s Coach Carlisle paying back the tactical defeat in Game 1.]

With Kevin McHale’s brief prediction, the players prevented their bodies from cooling down while listening to the instructions of the coach and coaches with excited expressions ahead of the final 4th quarter.

“Okay! It’s the last quarter now! We’re going to repay the 3-point loss in Game 1 with a complete victory! Everyone has been doing well so far. Now that the opponent has adapted to some extent, we will reduce the frequency of using new tactics. Don’t panic even if it doesn’t work. We do what we used to do! Create space and keep passing!”

Coach Dwayne Casey’s paradox made Coach Carlisle, who was listening, clap and draw the players’ attention.

“Miami scores 2 points? Then don’t be frustrated that you failed to defend. We just have to score 2 points as well. If they score 3 points, score 3 points. Then, the current lead can never be narrowed. You guys all have a knack for shooting, right? Big 3 or whatever, there’s no team that can beat the shooting accuracy of a runaway colt.”

At Coach Carlisle’s words, the players shouted ‘Of course!’ and shouted their final fighting cry and went onto the court.

[The 4th quarter is already halfway over, the score is 98 to 88, and the Miami Heat are unable to catch up with the 10-point difference!]

[It must be really frustrating for the Miami Heat. It’s clear that there’s not much difference between them and Dallas in terms of offensive success, but the difference in a few possessions in the beginning, as well as the difference in the number of 3-point shots and the accuracy of free throws, have gradually accumulated to create a 10-point lead. Miami is confident in their offensive efficiency, but Dallas today is no less so!]

As soon as Kevin McHale’s commentary ended, Dallas’ Tyson Chandler slammed Udonis Haslem’s layup with all his might, and the bounced ball went into Youngjae’s hands.

[WOW!! AMAZING BLOCK!!! Youngjae Yoon receives the ball after Tyson Chandler’s block! Youngjae Yoon slowly moves across the half court to the wing. He looks at Coach Carlisle for a moment and nods, then makes a play call to the players.]

[When Kidd is not there, Yoon is mainly in charge of Dallas’ play calls. Barea has no problem carrying out Coach Carlisle’s calls, but he lacks the creativity to make his own calls. On the other hand, Yoon can read the flow of the game himself and adjust the tempo and change tactics. That’s why Yoon has no choice but to do the main reading. If he leads too uptempo, Dallas, which has a relatively high average age, will get tired first. It’s a good idea to slow down the tempo when the fast break doesn’t work. Dallas has no reason to rush at all.]

As Kevin McHale said, Dallas had no reason to rush at all. Youngjae passed the ball to Barea, who was positioned at the top after crossing the half-line, and slowly moved to the right wing.

[Barea, his breakthrough is pretty good today, right? He often made breakthroughs that Mario Chalmers, who was standing in front of him, couldn’t do anything about, but I wonder if he will now!]

Barea dribbled the ball slightly offbeat, then skillfully intervened at the timing of Nowitzki, who was slowly coming out of the low post to set a screen, and attempted a concise and quick breakthrough. Chalmers was constantly paying attention, thinking that Nowitzki would put up a screen, but he was flustered and tried to catch up with Barea, perhaps because he didn’t expect Nowitzki to do a 1:1 isolation when he hadn’t even put up a screen yet.

Thud!

“Ugh!!!”

[Dirk Nowitzki!!! Amazing screen! A screen that is difficult to pull off unless you are a really veteran player has come out!]

[Barea’s breakthrough today was all dribble breakthroughs derived from 2:2 pick plays using screens! Rather, he broke through as if it were a 1:1 isolation, and Dirk Nowitzki, who expected Mario Chalmers to follow, set a screen on Mario Chalmers’ path of movement from the back where he couldn’t see! It’s really amazing! At the same time, Joel Anthony, who was also dragged along, is also tied up by Nowitzki!]

The Miami Heat players were momentarily embarrassed by Barea and Nowitzki’s sense-filled play. LeBron James, who was blocking Peja on the opposite side, couldn’t leave Peja Stojakovic, who was a sharp shooter, and Chris Bosh was competing with Chandler in the paint. In the end, Dwyane Wade, who was standing in front of Youngjae, had no choice but to help block Barea with a bug-chewed expression.

“Tsk!”

At the same time, Chris Bosh in the paint also helped Youngjae, who was empty, as if he couldn’t give up 3 points, and LeBron James was attached to Chandler, and Peja was empty again. Barea threw the ball to Youngjae, and even if Youngjae passed it to Peja with all his might as soon as he received the ball, there was a high risk of stealing in the middle.

[Do you see that! Miami Heat is doing the best defense they can do even in this situation! Under the organically rotating defense system, the Miami Heat can exert all their strength! Youngjae Yoon, he catches the ball and soars, but Chris Bosh is already helping!]

Whoosh-

[Oh, oooo!!! Youngjae Yoon! He pretends to shoot and passes to Dirk Nowitzki, who ran to the baseline while his body was floating in the air!!!]

The Miami players thought, ‘Oops.’ Everyone knew that Nowitzki didn’t enjoy pick-and-roll situations, but he was a player who could do it well enough. Moreover, the one blocking Nowitzki was Joel Anthony. Even though he was a defensive center, he was a center optimized for trap defense, not a center who was good at 1:1 defense. There was no way he could block Nowitzki’s jump shot in the 4th quarter.

Swish-

[BANG!!!]

[It’s out again! ONG LEGGED FADEAWAY! With this, Dirk Nowitzki scores a whopping 8 points in just 6 minutes of the 4th quarter!!! And Youngjae Yoon, who gave an amazing pass! It seems like we’ve seen the pinnacle of Yoon TO Nowitzki!]

＠Game 2 is skipped briefly and goes to Game 4.

＠Play calls are sometimes delivered by the player who leads the coach’s instructions, but they also give instructions themselves. It’s similar to the catcher in baseball. They deliver bench instructions, but they also adjust the ball mix themselves without bench instructions. So, if the team’s point guard has good creativity, the bench has a low frequency of offensive tactical instructions, and if they lack creativity, the bench has a high proportion of offensive tactical instructions.

＠From Game 2, Dallas begins to reverse the individual’s capabilities with the power of team tactics. It’s almost to the point where they won a complete victory in the coach’s strategy fight. As I will describe in the novel in the future, Coach Carlisle is the number one contributor to the Finals victory in reality at this time, even more than Nowitzki. He shows his ability by changing the lineup through appropriate player substitutions, changing the game roster according to condition, introducing new tactics, and succeeding in detailed tactics in important possessions. With the appearance of Youngjae, the difference in individual capabilities has also narrowed, and the number of tactical cards has increased.

h0h///lol late-night convenience store snack lol. I’m often like that too lol

-DarkANGEL-///lol Joara midnight server’s atrocities lol

Ultra10///We also like organic pass play teams rather than superstar-oriented one-man show teams

Kingdom Brothers///Ah, the government changed its policy so that Toto support funds cannot be used for national teams. It was changed this year, so until 2014, we received decent support even if it wasn’t great. Well, it’s not been one or two years since our national team didn’t have an analyst;; Youngjae has a great desire to win, but he is also surprisingly not too idealistic. From the beginning, he doesn’t even think about getting a spot in the Olympics and reaching the quarterfinals or higher. The Asian Games are enough to win with Youngjae’s current skills with a hard carry. Since Youngjae is in the NBA, he prefers to receive help from the team rather than overwhelming alone, but at the Asian level, there is no Jordan separately. That’s how much the Asian basketball level is… A team composed of D-League All-Stars, which is the NBA’s minor league, can compete for the championship. It is also a Korean national team that was completely털렸던 by Barea. First of all, until the 2014 Asian Games, he will be able to play for the national team without any complaints even if support is poor. In 2015;;;eum…I don’t know if it’s the answer.

Thank you for your comments today, 사라질영혼, CountOfDark, 오마리온, 파이넨시아!! Have a happy 불금 tomorrow too~~

Yaebes/// The significance of zone defense is that kind of meaning. It is to control breakthroughs as much as possible while keeping the rim protector in the paint for as long as possible. We succeeded in forcing LeBron’s jumper. The problem is that it is also a tactic that forces shots on players other than LeBron, but the meaning disappeared because Chalmers exploded too much. It won’t be like that every game lol.
