No matter how much you hate your opponent, you can't always dismiss their victory as merely "a stroke of luck."
"Larry, I think the Warriors played well."
"They did," Larry Brown adjusted his glasses, "but it was all due to their incredible three-point shooting accuracy. It's like a gambler who wins a few hands and thinks they're skilled, but they're just lucky. Roy, how many gamblers have you seen with good outcomes?"
Roy Williams instantly understood why Larry Brown thought the Warriors' victory was luck.
Because he's a coach who doesn't trust the three-point shot.
A team with a well-rounded system will always maintain strong defense. The Pistons' defense won't suddenly drop to the bottom of the league on any given night; they can deliver top-notch defensive shifts from the first game of the season to the last.
A suitable tactic can consistently create easy scoring opportunities for the team. With such opportunities, a player cannot fail to capitalize tonight.
