Explain: how Natalie Nakase fixed the Valkyries' defense vs the Sky

Last press conference, Coach Nakase declined to explain the game winning adjustments GSV made and told us to watch the video instead. So after getting a lot of requests from you all, I made a short video analysis of the game plan changes. And yes I also did a traditional celebration analysis.

We break down how Chicago repeatedly exploited the Valkyries’ initial game plan and how Coach Natalie Nakase made adjustments to fix the defense to allow the Golden State Valkyries to come back to blow out the Sky. The video explains pick-and-roll basics and the defensive terminology (over/under, drop, deep drop, swiping/walling up) as well as analyzing the changes that forced tougher shots and disrupted Chicago’s rhythm. Plus an analysis of three-point celebrations.

By the way, I’ve started a new YouTube channel called Eric Apricot Jam. It would really help if you subscribed to it (for free!). This would tell YouTube that there is an audience for women’s basketball and that YT should share out my videos about the WNBA to more people.
