The Most One-Sided Chess Match in the NBA

The Most One-Sided Chess Match in the NBA

Who would have thought that this would become one of the best rivalries in the NBA lead Halton tries another three I know what time it is there probably unnecessary I can see it being a play grip quickly oh uhoh yis is going to the locker room fast forward a month where the Bucks

Would play the Pacers two more times and we would learn an insane deal about what these teams do and how they adjust initially I thought it took 43.1 minutes for the Pacers to crack the code for the bucks defense but it was this man who is seemingly searching for his hair found

Answers through the game the way the Bucks were matching up defensively was to switch everything basically now the execution here by each team is just ridiculous the Bucks switch the initial action at the top putting Beasley on Tyrese halberton the Pacers then try to pick on Lillard so Turner called buddy

Healed up for the handoff but the Bucks switch it again now Beasley accidentally fights over the top on this one as you can see Giannis is up to the level of the screener to switch Miles Turner is now wide open but lope has quickly rotates down now his man is wide open

But the one recovering Buck Defender scrambles to the corner executing a perfect rotation Pacer pick and roll again the buck switch Lopez comes down to take Turner and points for Beasley to scramble out to his men Beasley doesn’t communicate properly so Brooke is forced to close out on the perimeter that lets

Jaylen Smith attack but then Beasley is there again to switch back and Lopez reestablishes his position down low attened kopo almost gets caught ball watching and the Pacers are forced to reset High pick and roll met by another switch shot clock low which is rare for the Pacers and the bucks made Indiana

Work for this one the Giannis and halberton rivalry is a thing of of beauty Buck switch it yet again you know Tyrese wants to cook The Greek Freak as he waves Turner to get out and let him uh cook intensity once again heating up as we go jannis switches on to hie

Tyrese is so clever he knows that this might not be the best way to initiate the offense so Turner comes back and they get the matchup that the Bucks don’t want Lillard on Tyrese now this is embarrassing reminds me of when I press the wrong button on 2K Tyrese hardly

Pump fakes the ball up and Dame is in the air on this one then a drive Dame hilariously hits that jump button again but then Yannis is there to seal off the rim perfectly and then step over top of hii H Ricky boy still not very happy but

This little genius would start button mashing the exact same freaking play however after the timeout the Bucks would come out in a ball Denial on Tyrese and this announcer is going to insanely regret these words pretty much under control and and credit Malik Beasley but just the scheme and the team

Def as I say that yes and it will be spammed the Pacers thr an action what is called Blind Pig where you pass the ball to the big and then cut to counter the pressure the most important thing to understand at this point the Pacers are tired of the switching defense and they

Are going to begin the process of putting Brook Lopez into pick and roll is your defense in trouble next trip down still down big the Pacers do it the same way they have all three players not in the action standing on the weak side of the floor Damen Lillard is also the

Low Man’s so should be coming down to help keep this in mind it will be insanely important later happiness still lacking though Tyrese halberton is leading the league in pick and roll scoring averaging 1.15 points per possession my friends that is insane attacking once again Brook on the

Screen the Bucks are so predictable when Lopez gets put in the screen because he does not switch he stays in the drop the Bucks really made the Pacers work trying to keep the ball at a Tyrese’s hands notice the ball pressure as soon as he

Passes it away Beasley is way up in the Gap as he knows that he has bigger things to do than worry about help defense it’s like almost a contrast on every single I am going to need your help on this one is there any way that

You don’t see three steps here boy that was a he had to work for that to she must be right the problem solving here is just ridiculous look at Dame fighting so hard to compete on defense finally through the screens the Pacers enter into a split set with Lillard in a top

Lock still we get a beautiful back cut Tyrese is also getting denied so he takes one more step high and Turner drops the pass that he probably should have made on the first cut the Bucks know how to spam plays themselves the Bucks Run their famous double drag set

Dame feels the contact but there is no whistle the pass causes his Defender to relax nard now has to close out Dame collapses the defense and off the two superstars hooking up for an and one m a few minutes later they call out the exact same action but it’s actually a

Sneaky decoy the entire week side is preparing for the double drag to be ran meanwhile Malik Beasley ghost the screen and the Pacers have no help because of the double drag threat this is nothing though in comparison to the Bucks most simple yet for some reason Unstoppable

Play horns out great job by TJ okay my bad the Pacers stopped it one time one time if you’re under 30 you do not know what that movie is this play shouldn’t even be good but the Bucks Run it so often they score nearly every time again starting with a screen pushing Middleton

To the wing we also get another screen for Giannis but he does something only the most elite players do watch as soon as he notices that the Pacers are fighting over the top of this he just stops in his tracks back pedals and that’s a great anticipation as well by

Middleton exact same action the next trip down the floor this time the Pacers go underneath the screen the Bucks know that this will give Giannis a great postup position n Smith does a great job on this play but giannis’s gravity on this drive pulls three Pacers to the rim

And this modification could actually make babies this one combines the last two sets together we get horns out which then leads into a double drag ball screen the epically sneaky part of this play is actually Brook Lopez tiptoeing to set one more screen on halberton Beasley is actually shooting an NBA best

58% on the corner 3 this season remember those empty set pick and roll plays from before with the three players on the weak side well guess what the Indiana Pacers would go and do down the stretch every single time and the Bucks literally ran the exact same coverage

Yeah f it back that’s a spot right there and with the game on the line the Bucks finally try something new Yannis would pre- switch with Lopez so he could defend the screen but look at how he casually walks up combined with zero defense from number zero and Alberton

Goes past him and count the Pucket the flare for the dramatic oh the next match up is where we get to see insane details for why the Indiana Pacers have Elite coaching especially compared to the Bucks you could see this from the first play the Milwaukee Bucks are using the

Exact same tactics as before but Indiana is even more prepared as usual they switch up at the top Lillard is going to chip down and then rotate out to the perimeter this gives an insanely deep post up for Turner Pacers lob it inside here’s Turner fading again Pacers

Targeting guess who Brook Lopez Giannis pre- switches this to keep Brooke down low the Pacers though keep moving off of the ball and pull Lopez out his n Smith is shooting 38.5% from three this year and then you see they’re getting out now to nice job good read next trip down

They do the exact same thing step one hm put Giannis in pick and roll that gives Turner the mismatch swing the ball across to Jaylen Smith who went from 28% to 54% as a three-point shooter from last year and you already know the results be patient they got it again

It’s the same thing p is Ricky you’re insane but this is hardly anything compared to what we have for you guys next remember the play that makes babies will Rick can procreate a little bit himself this starts again with horns out then we hit that double drag but this

Time Bruce Brown anticipates that second screen and squeezes through Tyrese then calls out the next step and this time he just switches that screen rather than giving up the three that is beautiful the Pacers get knocked for their defense all the time but this game shows why

They know how to make adjustments two things I love about this one first check the hustle to get back toppen looks like he is complet completely out of the play giving up the five on four but he somehow Sprints back as soon as the coaches see they got a five on five

Listen to them from the bench Lopez is going to be slow to get to that would refer to the classic Giannis wall when they wall up and slow him down they all rotate back to their checks perfectly and I love this here Bucks Run the exact

Same play that killed them in the last game empty set pick and roll nasty screen by aenna Copo bruy can’t fight over but toppen comes up to switch not drop I like that Giannis should have the advantage inside but we’ve got multiple Pacers coming down to plug paint woo

Bucks Run their horns out again with the wedge screen at the bottom but the Pacers play it 100% different again we get a full switch pushing Giannis outside more then a switch right back as soon as the pass is being made we get a double team a rotation out and that is perfect

Defense cannot touch it again dude if you’re hiring just saying Pacers have a clear understanding of this game plan to beat the bucks on offense and defense I would not want this match up in the playoffs if I’m the Bucks to get that full picture of what makes Tyrese
