How REAL MADRID UPSET the EUROLEAGUE favorites ANADOLU EFES and forced Game 5 (Part I)
„We never stopped believing, kept working, and never gave up” #RealMadrid C.F. Head Coach Pablo Laso did not stop repeating the mantra his team followed after another huge upset win against Anadolu Efes Spor Kulübü, forcing Game 5. After an extremely hard regular season marked by many events such as #Campazzo and #Deck leaving for the #NBA or the injuries of Randolph and Tavares, Real Madrid went on to force the final game after trailing in the series. What did Laso`s players never stopped believing in? Their daily work and the game plan, which I summarize in the video you can watch below. This is part 1, focused on the #Defense, and in part 2 we take a look at their #Offense. Some of the concepts you can see on Defense are: -Zone press. Real wanted to get the ball out of Larkin`s and Micic`s hands and force other players to make plays. “Pick your poison” and don’t overreact even if they hit some shots. -Heavy switching: The bigs switch onto Micic and Larkin without fear and do a pretty good job, while the smalls stand their ground against their bigs on the inside mismatches. -Rudy Fernandez elite anticipation skills. -Constant activity and #hustle from all sides, they literally do not stop and give up easy shots Part 2 following!

Boston Celtics offensive gameplan against Utah Jazz
The #Boston #Celtics had a clear plan against the Utah Jazz defensive coverage. It was not enough to secure the W, but it was nonetheless quite efective and worth analyzing. In the video we can see the repeated use of the following concepts: -Chicago action (pin-down followed by a handoff) -Re-screen on pick and rolls when the on ball defender goes under -Short roll when the pick and roll goes towards the side of 1 -Great execution against the drop from the handlers, especially from #Tatum and #Brown What did you think about the game, and about the Celtics`plan? #Scouting #NBA #Playbook #Coaching
