http://0rz.tw/563Zg Cavs Overload on Defense Leaving Rondo to Beat Them As we say all the time, playoff basketball is all about adjustments and I really like what Mike Brown did defensively tonight in the Cavs win over the Celtics. They decided to have Delonte West overload the ball side leaving Rajon Rondo completely open. 就像我們一直在說的，季後賽籃球就是有關調整，而我很喜歡Mike Brown今晚在防守上 所作的。他們決定過度地用 Delonte West去持球邊防守(overload)，讓Rajon Rondo完 全空檔。 The premise being that the Cavs feel that they can live with Rondo taking open jump shots until he proves to them that he can knock them down consistently. A gamble? It sure was, but down 2-0 it was a calculated risk by Mike Brown who really had nothing to lose, and it payed off big time. When Doc Rivers countered by having Sam Cassell sub in for Rondo, things didn't get that much better. In fact, both Rondo and Cassell played terrible shooting just 3-for-10 and 0-for-6 respectively and combining for just 2 assists in over 40 minutes of combined floor time. Here were a few sequences from that crucial 1st quarter in which the Cavs used to jump out to that huge 20-point lead, 這裡的假設是騎士隊覺得他們可以承受 Rondo空檔跳投，直到他證明自己可以持續地投 進。賭博？當然是了，但是以 0-2落後時，這是沒有退路的Mike Brown經過計算後的風 險，而它在重要時間取得成功。當 Doc Rivers以換上Sam Cassell回應，事情並沒有變 的比較好。事實上，Rondo和 Cassell兩人差勁地投10中3及投6中0，合計在40分鐘的上 場時間只有 2次助攻。這裡是一些從殘酷的第一節汲取出來的片段，騎士隊用此打出20 分的巨大領先。 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hh-meZOAGj0 Defensive Overload: It was basically the same concept of tilting the floor that we saw the Lakers use against the Nuggets in the first round. Choose 1 defender (the one defending the worst offensive player) and have them play help-side exclusively, 這跟我們在湖人用在金塊身上的「傾斜球場」的概念相同，選擇一個防守者 (那個防守 對方進攻最差的球員)，讓他們專門打幫忙邊。 http://0rz.tw/8347y http://0rz.tw/eb44M A couple of times, Delonte West took the charge which discouraged the Celtics from driving into the lane. Later in the 2nd half, Rondo and Cassell were taking the open jumpers and weren't hitting them. 好幾次，Delonte West切入上籃，重重地打擊了Celtics。在第二節後段，Rondo和 Cassell都在投空檔跳投，但是都沒投進。 Summary: Now that the Cavs have made their adjustments, it's up to Doc Rivers to come up with something that will keep the Cavs defense honest. It's really just a numbers game, like in football, on defense, you load up the box to stuff the run. So now on offense you have to turn the edge or throw over the top to keep them honest. What will the Celts do to adjust?? Though Sam Cassell did struggle tonight, I think he is a better scoring threat and through the later 3 quarters, the Celts did stay pretty even with the Cavs. Expect to see more Sam in Game 4 in a 4-out spread. 現在騎士隊已經作出他們的調整，輪到Doc Rivers想出點東西讓騎士隊的防守誠實點。 這真的只是數字遊戲，就像美式足球，防守時，你把禁區塞滿跑出點攻勢。所以現在進 攻時，你得挫挫他們的銳氣，或者從他們的頂上扔球，讓他們誠實點。 Celtics會作什 麼來調整？雖然 Sam Cassell今晚很掙扎，我認為他是比較好的得分威脅，同時經過三 節，Celtics仍然保持跟騎士隊相當。期待在第四戰在4-out spread時，會看到更多Sam。 --
