Real quick today...
Here you have a video that speaks by itself. There's no much to say. Panathinaikos defense against Sada and Rubio during the first game of the Euroleague Quarter Finals was really interesting.
By giving these players that much space (watch the defender, he's always inside the free throw's circle!) they are looking for some goals:
1-Help against shooting guards and inside players (mostly Navarro, but also Lakovic when playing the SG, Morris, Lorbek)
2-Help in defensive rebounding.
3-Make them (Sada, Rubio) hesitate and invite them to try shots they wouldn't try quite often
4-Create confusion in Barça's offense.
As I've said, the video speaks by itself. And let's notice Barcelona's coach X.Pascual decided (nice decision by the way!) to place Lakovic as PG (so his team's offense wasn't bothered any more by this defense)
Can't wait for tonight's games...
