DOC RIVERS finally letting GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNPO COOK

The Bucks finally do a fantastic job in this game of just clearing away from Giannis the closer you are to Giannis the closer a help Defender is the closer a help Defender can help and recover so on this sequence here in transition Giannis is a freight train we know this

We do not want multiple Defenders on the strong side of the floor first of all Patrick Beverly does an excellent job here he creates all of this because he’s going to Sprint his LAN run his Lane and transition offensively get to the corner then secondly Malik Beasley we know we don’t want multiple

Defenders on the strong side of the floor so Malik Beasley does what clears out clears out you load up the weak side of the floor get all those Hawks Defenders out of there get dejon Murray out of there so now if bogdanovich is wants to come help well Patrick Beverly

Is going to have a practice shot if Patrick Beverly doesn’t run his Lane and stop at the Wing bogdanovich can help and recover if Beasley doesn’t clear out well then dejonte Murray can just easily rotate on Beverly and that’s not an open three so now when the Hawks help you’re

Going to really pay for this this is Patrick Beverly taking a jump shot before a game for fun the guards in this game and Damen Lillard really struggles with this Patrick Beverly creates all of this you run the pick and roll the Hawks are in their stupid drop coverage I have

To make Clint capella guard me I have to look at the space how many times does Damen Lillard pull up in this situation Patrick Beverly three four five solid dribbles as long as I’m heading downhill with my dribble alive capella has to guard me and that’s just gonna open up

Giannis’s role look at Beverly all the way in the paint Capella’s got to guard you with the rim and Giannis is wide open now the Hawks are in a Zone we saw this in the Lakers game the middle of the zone is where want to attack especially especially when it’s Giannis

If they are going to give up the middle of the zone and Giannis is going to be wide open in that middle of the Zone he better get a touch or nobody on the floor should be in in the game after this possession look at Giannis right in

The middle of the zone right in the middle of the Zone get dejon Murray Patrick Beverly does a great job dribbling out so Deonte Murray can’t rotate down now you just attack the middle of the Zone look at the space Giannis has now in the middle of the

Zone there’s nothing anyone can do easy lob Over the Top Again clearing out you’ve got Giannis in the post and Giannis does a great job being patient waiting for Chris Middleton to get the heck out of there get out because that means vit Brook Lopez is facing the

Floor but now vit kie has to stay with Chris Middleton stay with Chris him pull his dribble back now look at the space we have there’s no one clogging anything up we’re all cleared to the three-point line and that happened pick and roll there’s no reason ever for

A Milwaukee Bucks defender on a ball screen set at the sideline to be in that strong side corner Malik Beasley goes to the weak side corner Beverly to the wing nobody in that strong side corner Giannis is the greatest lob threat ever maximum space if I’m standing in the

Corner and I’m Malik Beasley that means my Defender stands in the corner but now everybody clears out so now when Giannis slips this screen and rules there’s no one same thing if a team is going to run drop coverage there is no reason ever look at the books perfect job everybody

To the weak side of the floor nobody on the strong side of the floor if the Hawks are running drop coverage you may as well just put two points on the board all three bucks players on the weak side of the floor so when the Hawks run their stupid drop coverage there’s zero

Backside help zero and poof here we are again in transition great job of spacing Pat conon way away way away way away AJ Green Way Away Giannis is a freight train in transition nobody can stop him in transition look at how clear the floor is he has the entire

Strong side of the floor to himself with a full head of steam downhill and there’s no help defense how do you think that’s going to end Chris Middleton throws the ball down low to the Post post so we’re not going to spot up on the strong side of the floor cuz all

That means is kie gets in the middle of this post up there’s no chance Wesley Matthews has to guardi Giannis right here there’s no chance pretty much anyone has to guardi Giannis in the post isolated so Chris Middleton’s going to do what get to the weak side of the

Floor bring your Defender to the weak side of the floor and just let Giannis cook look at the space he has here look at all that space that is two plus one every time every time if they don’t send a double and they don’t

The Bucks finally giving Giannis Antetokounpo space to dominate
