215. One win, one loss, the situation is stable_2

Carlisle had stepped into Bickerstaff's shoes while watching the video, thought for a day, but besides hoping for a player explosion, he really couldn't think of any strategy.

Just like in the 02-03 season when he coached the Pistons during the Eastern Conference Finals and faced Kidd, he was out of options and got absolutely schooled by Kidd.

However, what he considered a dead end, Bickerstaff miraculously managed to turn around!

The way Bickerstaff played tonight greatly reduced the gap between the two teams in terms of lineup structure, postseason experience, and other aspects.

Carlisle was deeply shocked; so, the game could be played like this...

Of course, if it were up to him, he still wouldn't be able to play as wildly as Bickerstaff, that wasn't his coaching style, but there were worthwhile lessons to be learned.
