00:00Welcome to The Advantage. Today we're talking about LeBron James and Tyrese Halliburton

00:06and exactly how they got buckets in the end season tournament.

00:10Alright, this is very much an IQ video and we're diving deep into how those buckets came about.

00:15Because this show is called The Advantage, we don't just play the game, we think the game.

00:21It's all about learning players' advantages, how to stop it, and how to utilize it.

00:27So let's go ahead and kick it off with Tyrese Halliburton. What are his advantages?

00:31Well, he can shoot it. He's a sniper for real. Shot kind of wonky, but he can shoot it.

00:37Alright. Number two, he can pass it. Point guard for real.

00:42Number three, he got a nice little handle on him. Point guard for real.

00:47Number four, he's patient. He's patient.

00:54Which, as young as he is, for a lot of guys in the league, just a lot of players period, patience is a virtue.

01:02Five, IQ. Dude is actually really smart if you pay attention.

01:08The biggest aspect that is on the scouting report for other teams is that he can shoot it.

01:13So throughout the whole game, they're sitting there playing a drop coverage.

01:17So drop coverage is basically this, where you see Brooke Lopez playing in that drop position.

01:24He's not hugging up on anybody. He's playing low.

01:29So if they come off of that screen, he's there to pick up Halliburton off the screen,

01:34but also be able to get back to his man in the paint.

01:38And the other defender is trying to come over the screen and stay with Halliburton on his hip.

01:45So this is what we call a lock and trail.

01:48So we lock onto that hip and then we trail over the screen. Lock and trail.

01:54The whole purpose of drop coverage is to make sure that they can't shoot it off the screen.

02:00They can't pull to Stephen Curry and pull up, even though Stephen Curry would still pull up.

02:05So this is the game plan for the Bucs. Clearly.

02:08Because they did it the whole entire game. They didn't switch it up.

02:11I want you guys to pay attention to two things.

02:15First thing is my corner shooters.

02:18Usually when you're coming off of a screen, once your feet hit the paint, you hit a corner shooter.

02:26And those shooters have to be respectable.

02:29So obviously those shooters in the corners are respectable because the Bucs are playing tight on them.

02:34So you can't drive and kick.

02:36And the second thing I want you guys to pay attention to is the roller.

02:39Because now it all comes down to the two man game.

02:42What is the person with the ball going to do and what is my roller going to do?

02:47So there's two things that always happen for the roller.

02:49The roller either slip the screen right away to force them to make a decision.

02:56So now Brooke Lopez has to make a decision.

02:59Am I going to guard the ball or am I going to guard my mans?

03:03That rotation has to be crisp.

03:06You can't just stand there and hesitate.

03:09Because he's slipping that screen so fast and heading straight to the rim, I have to hurry up and get back.

03:14You see what's happening.

03:16And the second thing that will happen, Tyrese will come off the screen.

03:21Keep the defender on his hip.

03:24Now the roller would space out.

03:30And here's what happens when you don't stick to the plan, Damian Lillard.

03:36Damian Lillard didn't go over the screen.

03:39He didn't do a lock and trail.

03:40He went under the screen not once, but twice.

03:43And guess what Halliburton gets to do?

03:46He got to utilize his advantage.

03:48Shooting it.

03:50So now you got to live with it, right?

03:52The other thing I also want to point out is that when the Bucs created this game plan,

03:58the drop coverage is like, yo, we are going to live with them not shooting threes.

04:04We are going to live with them trying to score points in the paint.

04:08We good with that.

04:10That's the game plan.

04:11But the Pacers did it so effectively that it's just like, yo, you take what you can get.

04:19Because once again, we're not just shooters.

04:22We're ball players.

04:23We can do more than just shoot the ball.

04:24We got the layup package on lock.

04:26We got the passing on lock.

04:27So that's the advantage to having multiple advantages.

04:31And by the way, I've gotten a B in workouts with Tyrese Halliburton.

04:34He's really like that.

04:36Like his shot is funky, but he's really like that.

04:39Now for my man with the plan, LeBron James.

04:43Okay, guys, I was at this game, all right?

04:45And when I say LeBron was really like that, like, come on.

04:50So what is LeBron's advantage?

04:52Well, first of all, he's big, right?

04:55Really, when he was coming through the paint, it's really like a freight train.

04:58Y'all see it on TV, but if you've never gotten to see him in person, he's really like, he's fast.

05:06And he's big.

05:07Move out the way on some ludicrous move.

05:11Get out the way.

05:13And of course, the game plan most of the time will always be pack in the paint.

05:17Because what would you rather have?

05:20Would you rather have LeBron shooting threes?

05:24Or would you rather have LeBron in the paint?

05:29Once again, he's a freight train.

05:31And no offense, I don't care how good LeBron shot is getting, I want LeBron shooting threes.

05:36Because we playing percentages here.

05:38We not just playing, you know, the percentages say you get this many points in the paint.

05:44And you get this many points from the three.

05:47And the team as a whole doesn't shoot great from three anyway, right?

05:52And you've got AD down there.

05:53So it's like we're going to pack in the paint as much as possible.

05:56And the game plan also was they're not trying to guard LeBron too far from the three-point line.

06:03So kind of like the game plan, how it usually is for Jokic, give him a late contest.

06:09All right.

06:10So it's kind of like a hesitation when you see people just standing there like a defender standing there.

06:14And they're not because it's like LeBron can decide to get the ball.

06:19You know how you look at the ball for a second.

06:21And then you just drive.

06:22Or he can look at the ball and decide he want to shoot it.

06:26Because when he shoot it, he'll shoot like a little leaner, a little fadeaway.

06:29Right?

06:30So it's harder to block anyway.

06:32So we're not going to guard you too far out from the three-point line.

06:35Right?

06:36And we're going to give you a late contest every time.

06:38The problem is that night LeBron took advantage of it.

06:41He hit three threes in a row.

06:43My man was balling.

06:45And there were two instances of how he was scoring his threes.

06:48So he would score it off a fast break where he just come down, shoot it in your face.

06:52Because it's a late contest anyway.

06:54Or he would score it off the rotation.

06:56All right.

06:57So once the defense has rotated, we swing, swing, pick and roll, swing.

07:01Right?

07:02The defense has rotated two or three times.

07:04Now I get a kind of late contest on top of the hesitation of the contest that you're doing anyway.

07:11I'm going to shoot it in your face.

07:14And of course, last but not least, the pick and roll worked very well for LeBron.

07:19You know, it was times where he'll come off that screen.

07:22And it's like, yo, the defender is on my hip.

07:26First of all, the person guarding me is too small.

07:30So I'm not going to play bully ball with Valanchunas or go up with Valanchunas.

07:35I'm going to stick right here with this little small dude right here.

07:38And it's going to be me and you.

07:40So you know he gets into his body and tries to get a nice little one-two for the one time.

07:45And then, of course, pick and roll with AD.

07:48You got Zion and Valanchunas.

07:50If they get the switch with Zion on AD, meet me at the rim.

07:54Throw it over Zion to where he can't jump.

07:56He uses athleticism.

07:58And meet me at the rim for AD.

08:00Either way, this in-season tournament has been fun to watch.

08:03And I'm super happy to break it down for you guys, first of all.

08:07But either way, I'm trying to get tickets to the last game right now.

08:11Just to see LeBron.

08:13Maybe if he gets his first trophy in the first in-season tournament.

08:20Or, shoot, I got to see Tyrese do his thing.

08:25Hopefully he gets his first trophy for the in-season tournament.

08:29Either way, it'll be very entertaining.

08:31So I appreciate you guys watching The Advantage.

08:34Peace out.
