Jeremy Lin on the Rockets Part I: Running the Pick-and-Roll
By Sebastian Pruiti on August 14, 2012 12:40 PM ET

林書豪在火箭之一：執行擋拆戰術

After having Jeremy Lin pre-Linsanity, the Houston Rockets made up for
cutting him before last season by agreeing to pay Lin around $25 million over
the next three years. While that may seem like a lot for a player who had
success for just 36 games as a New York Knick, Lin is coming in as the
presumed starting point guard for the Rockets, ready to prove that those
games weren't a fluke. As it turns out, Houston wanting to make up for their
mistake might be the best thing for Lin, because when looking at the tape and
the numbers, the fit seems pretty good, especially when you look at Lin's
play in pick-and-roll situations, and especially in comparison to how Kyle
Lowry — who ran point for Houston last season and is now on the Raptors —
 played in the pick-and-roll last season.



If there is one play that defined Linsanity, it was the pick-and-roll. Lin
coming off of a screen and finding a way to get all the way to the rim or
hitting a teammate, whether it be the roll man or a player spotting up
outside of the pick-and-roll, for the open shot. The pick-and-roll was a big
part of what made Jeremy Lin successful; as he ran it on 42.5 percent of his
possessions, it's only natural to expect that the Rockets will use Lin in
that way as well. It's not going to be much of a change for the Rockets, who
ran PNRs (10.9 percent of possessions) almost as much as the Knicks (12.9
percent of possessions). When the Rockets do use Lin in pick-and-rolls, they
aren't going to have to change much of their offense because Lin and Lowry
both use ball screens in an almost identical way. Let's start by looking at
where these screens were used.


（12.9％）低多少。火箭隊並不需要改變太多也是因為林書豪和Lowry利用掩護
的方法幾乎是相同的。讓我們先來看看這些掩護發生的位置。

Synergy Sports uses three locations to define where a pick-and-roll takes
place: the left side, the right side, and the top. Comparing Lin and Lowry,
and looking at where they both used ball screens last season, you see that
they favor the same spots (with point guards, a large chunk of your ball
screens are going to be set at the top of the key). Once the screen is set,
the next step is looking at how the ball handler uses the screen. Does he
dribble off the screen or does he go away from the pick?

Once again, the numbers are pretty similar. Both guys like to use the ball
screen, doing so at a pretty high rate. With that being said, both are
willing to go away from the screen, mixing things up and reading the defense
to take advantage of a defense overplaying them. Once they use the screen,
what do Lin and Lowry do with the basketball? Again, it's pretty similar.



http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2012/0814/grant_h_pass_cr_576.jpg

Both guys like to look for their shot, but they also like to get their
teammates involved more than they score. The numbers from Synergy Sports show
that. The willingness to defer to teammates in pick-and-roll situations
forces the opponents to be somewhat honest when defending ball screens. When
that happens, you force the defense to start thinking, and this is what
allows a point guard to have success in the pick-and-roll. For the Rockets,
being able to replicate pick-and-rolls in the same fashion Kyle Lowry
executed them is very important. It means the Rockets won't have to change
much of their offense. You can teach Lin the offense and you don't have to
deviate from what you do or what you had success with last year to maximize
Lin's value.



Is Lin an upgrade from Lowry? It's tough to say. According to the numbers,
Lowry was one of the best scorers in pick-and-roll situations, posting a PPP
of 0.969, placing him in the top 10 percent of all NBA players. Lin's PPP?
0.797. Still above average, that PPP places him in the 63rd percentile, but
not as good. However, when you look at each player's use of all ball screens,
including pass-out situations, things get a lot closer. Lowry's total
pick-and-roll PPP (including both scoring and pass-out situations) was 0.919,
placing him in the 63rd percentile. Lin's was 0.893, placing him in the 53rd
percentile.



What makes Lin so successful in the pick-and-roll? It's his ability to keep
the defense honest by mixing things up. He simply takes what the defense
gives him.

是什麼能讓林書豪的擋拆配合如此成功？是他能夠打亂對方防守的能力。他很會
利用對方的防守。

Lin doesn't force things. If he doesn't have a lane in pick-and-roll
situations, he knows that he should have a teammate open and works to try to
get them the ball. In addition to that, he keeps his dribble alive, forcing
the defense (especially the hedging big) to stretch out, prompting a tough
decision: Either the big continues to hedge and he leaves his man open, or he
returns to his man and creates a scoring opportunity for Lin. Now, Lin did
struggle with turnovers, especially when being blitzed, giving up the ball on
about 26 percent of possessions, but I think those numbers will naturally
improve. This will be the first camp that Lin comes into as a starter. He's
going to get starter reps in practice, and he's going to be much more
comfortable with how defense will attempt to stop him. If he can get that
turnover rate down to the 15 to 10 percent range, Lin's efficiency will only
improve. This means that when Houston runs pick-and-rolls next season, the
sets will look quite similar to last year's sets. That's a good thing — and
with Lin's decision making, the Rockets should have success in the
pick-and-roll next year.
