先說這篇我沒有翻譯 不過會大概解釋一下  反正明天要打G6 了

這篇想看的再看吧XD


I set the over/under on half court possessions during which LeBron would
guard Rajon Rondo at 12, and I suggested you take the under. Turns out, I was
right—for once.

By my unofficial count (i.e. I haven’t gone and re-watched the game yet),
LeBron guarded Rondo intentionally on just eight half court possessions in
Game 5. Six of those eight possessions came in stretch of about 3:30 spanning
the 1st and 2nd quarters. This was the only stretch in which the Cavs gave
the LeBron/Rondo match-up an extended audition.

And guess what?

It worked, at least by the numbers. And the fact that it worked means Mike
Brown must answer questions about why he never went back to it in earnest
after the 1st quarter, instead allowing Rondo to destroy Mo Williams as
Boston pulled away in the 2nd half.

The Celtics scored a grand total of one point on those six early LeBron/Rondo
possessions. During three of the first four, the C’s went into isolation
mode:

(1:47), 1st: The Cavs come out of a time-out with West, Moon, James,
Ilgauskas and Varejao. The West-Moon combination was an obvious signal that
the Cavs would try Rondo on LeBron, and it shows why Mike Brown isn’t
willing to commit to the LeBron/Rondo match-up in any serious way. He does
not like the idea of Mo Williams on Ray Allen and Anthony Parker on Paul
Pierce—match-ups he’d have to endure if he put LeBron on Rondo within the
context of Cleveland’s starting line-up. So he goes big with West (for Ray)
and Moon (for Pierce) and unleashes James on Rondo.

On this play, it works. The C’s isolate Pierce against Moon at the right
elbow and have everyone else clear to the left side or the baseline. Pierce
tries a step-back jumper over Moon (who is 6′8”). It misses.

I’ll accept this isolation play if Parker is guarding Pierce. But with Moon
in, this is the exact sort of shot Cleveland is probably happy to see.

(1:24, 1st): The C’s go isolation again, this time with Sheed against
Varejao on the left block. Sheed’s reach gives him a nice advantage, but he
slams Varejao in the chest with his left elbow as he backs Varejao down with
the dribble. Offensive foul. Two isos, two turnovers.

(58 seconds, 1st): The C’s get out in delayed transition, but Bron holds up
at half court to take Rondo. Rajon gives the ball up to TA, who drives into
the paint, finds nothing and attempts to kick the ball out to Pierce in the
corner. He throws it to Moon instead. Turnover.

(15 seconds, 1st): We should really throw this one out of the sample, since it
’s an end-of-quarter possession and the C’s therefore spread the floor and
let Pierce go to work. The Cavs use their last foul with 3.7 seconds left.
The C’s inbound to Rondo, and Parker takes him on a switch with LeBron.
Rondo shoots just after the buzzer. An empty trip, but one that really has
little to do with the LeBron/Rondo strategy.

A thing to notice about this stretch: Ray Allen is on the bench and Tony
Allen is in the game. The Cavaliers were comfortable throwing LeBron at Rondo
here because they could hide a weaker or smaller defender on Tony Allen. The
Cavs were reluctant to use LeBron on Rondo when the C’s had both Pierce and
Allen in the game. This puts Doc in position to dictate to Mike Brown and
quash the LeBron/Rondo match-up whenever he feels like it.

In any case, the C’s opened the 2nd quarter by attacking the LeBron/Rondo
match-up more creatively on back-to-back possessions:

(11:06, 2nd): Boston runs one of its favorite sets, with Rondo dribbling at
the top of the arc and a big guy at each elbow. Rondo has the option to pass
to one of the bigs and cut or use one of the bigs as a screener. He chooses
the latter and draws a non-shooting foul on his drive to the hoop.

The C’s inbound and run a Rondo/Baby screen/roll. LeBron can’t keep up as
Rondo turns the corner and launches a lay-up. It hits high off the glass and
misses, but Davis gets the rebound and draws a foul. He hits 1-of-2.

(10:40, 2nd): Rondo chills out in the left corner while Ray Allen and Big
Baby run a screen/roll at the top. Ray gets into the lane but the Cavs
deflect his pass to Tony Allen under the hoop.

The C’s take the ball out and attack this defense the simplest way they can:
By giving the ball to Rondo and having him drive at James. Rondo jukes LeBron
at the foul line with a nasty right-to-left cross over, draws the defense and
dishes to Davis for a lay-up. The Cavs contest it well, and Baby misses. A
good idea, though.

So that’s one point on six possessions. And yet we never saw this defense
again.

And the question Mike Brown has to ask himself is: Should we have seen that
defense again? Because the Celtics tore the Cavaliers apart once Cleveland
went back to its traditional defense, and they did it by attacking the
Cavaliers weakest defender: Mo Williams.

The Cavs went back to the Anthony Parker/Rondo and Mo Williams/Ray Allen
match-ups to start the 2nd half, and Ray Allen promptly made back-to-back
three-pointers over and around Mo Williams. So what did Mike Brown do? He
switched Mo Williams onto Rajon Rondo, who at that point had scored 0 points
on 0-of-2 shooting.

And Rajon Rondo went crazy. A lay-up, an assist to KG on a screen/roll, two
more lay-ups, a mid-range jumper, a trip to the line, a pick-and-pop to KG
and a dish to Ray for a three-pointer.  All of this happened between the 9:47
and 4:24 marks of the 3rd quarter, a stretch in which the C’s turned a
10-point lead into a 21-point lead.

In that 5:23 stretch, Rondo scored 9 points and dished 3 assists, one of
which led to a three-pointer. That’s means Rajon accounted for 16 points in
5:24.

That stretch effectively ended the game. They say you should dance with who
brung ya, or whatever. Mike Brown did that, and he paid the price.

簡而言之，筆者閱讀一下比賽，發覺其實由LBJ 去守軟豆的確是有效果的。

筆者在文中列出6個Rondo/LBJ 對到的點來檢視 。

第一節開始是由LBJ仍舊守 PP 、不過雷槍由Mo守、軟豆由AP守。

直到剩下2分鐘左右換成小西上來時，LBJ開始防守軟豆，小西守TA。

值得注意的是TA此時在場上，所以防守不會那麼辛苦，LBJ也可以看軟豆。


而第二節開始也是由LBJ看管軟豆、Mo防雷槍、小西守TA。

至此時軟豆都還是在被掌控中 (被騎士看得不錯)

上半場軟豆只有FG 0/2的0分 1籃板的表現

而軟豆算是直到下半場開始換成Mo防守以後才開始爆發。

不過為什麼上半場守的有效，但是Mike Brown卻在下半場把防守策略調回來呢？

筆者認為Mike Brown這個調度，讓他付出了代價。

說真的看上半場的感覺是...Mo守雷槍好像效果沒有說很差..

但是AP/LBJ去守住軟豆就真的...XD

不過下半場就換回Mo去盯軟豆 一切都變順了!
