This video is more personal attempt to beat a double team not the team strategy I was looking for. However I will be looking to see how individual use the techniques. The one pass Harden uses IMO a bit too much is the behind the back pass While it gives him distance from the double team and make it less likely they will intercept the pass . . .. however it is a slower pass and recovery is easier - and the third man waiting on the pass has a better chance of gettting the pass I was looking for more things on the 4-3 He says something that I have notice at the 47 second mark "They are going to wall up, They are going to lean on me THE OFFICIALS AREN'T GOING TO CARE WHAT THEY DO AT THAT POINT THEY ARE DOING TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER" Still is not exactly what I was looking for Anyone know any videos that show how the team should beat the double. When Harden (or anyone) gets trapped The throw to the top of the key may happen If this person is Capela or Tucker - I have low low expectations. They are neither great passers or dribblers. Westbrook is probably our best player in that position. We have to make the other team always trap off West's man . . . I *think* spacing is how you do this (when he does the behind the back pass I think this is more an indicator that the second person maybe to close making the tramp more effective . .. need more spacing) Just Strategies. . . no character assassinations Rocket River
You left the rest of it out...the way the Rockets do it. ...passing the ball. Someone is open. You'll get an open shot. You brick the open shot. You give up a fast break layup on the other end.
That's on the defense. Last night they were 17-47 from 3... 36%. In 2020 NBA, you want that to be a little higher. Certainly doesn't help that all your starters sucked shooting. On the season they're 21st in 3 point fg%. Again, not great, and worse for a team shooting so many threes. Still, the bigger issue here to me isn't that they are missing relatively open threes, when they could be either making them or doing some faster, immediate cutting to force the defense to rotate more... ... but that they're fast break defense is horrendous. Harden almost never gets back, despite being the back guard much of the time - instead opting to try and steal a pass. The rest of the guards and wings, even when they try, are ho hum at it. It should be basically all they practice ever, lol.
or if you are Harden, run the coveted 2 on 1 until there's seven seconds left on the clock and then make an errant pass while jumping in the air. He's reinventing seven seconds or less.
