NBA: I am the card dealer

Chapter 36 Tactical Analysis!

Early the next morning.

The old man Kelin did not arrange training, but led everyone to watch the UCLA game video.

This is pre-match practice.

As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight without danger.

If you don't have a good understanding of your opponent's playing style and usual tactics.

So what do they do in response?

After reading several paragraphs.

"UCLA's playing style is very unique. They use a slow-moving forward as the axis to carry out tactics, with pick-and-roll moves on both sides. The center sits at the basket and the shooting guard waits for opportunities. This kind of coordination and coordination tactic is not common at present, but It has had a miraculous effect on UCLA. In the entire Big-12 district, they are ranked second, second only to Kansas, and they are very strong."

Old Man Klin took the lead in making a summary, paused, and then asked, "Let's talk about it, how to deal with it?"

No one spoke.

All of them had their heads lowered, looking like they were racking their brains for thought.

Xue Liancheng seriously doubted that everyone was already cursing: How did they know this?

They are just players, and it should be the coach's job to study tactics.

Old man Klin did not give up, and asked questions one by one, starting with captain Harsh, "Harsh, tell me."

After being named, Hash was obviously in a daze, he stammered, "This... that... I think, we need to increase our aggressiveness and prevent Kyle Anderson from easily receiving the ball, so that we can interrupt them offensive fluency."

"Then what? Is there anything else you want to add?" Old Man Klin asked.

Harsh quickly shook his head, "No more."

Old Man Klin turned to look at Feng Lai again, "Noa, what about you?"

"I?"

Feng Lai's scalp was numb, but he reacted quickly, "I think Hash is right."

Old Man Klin glared hard, obviously dissatisfied.

I asked a few more people, but they all talked about him and said some irrelevant things, but they didn't get to the point anyway.

Finally, he set his sights on Xue Liancheng, "Xue, what do you think?"

"This kind of tactic based on a slow forward is indeed rare, but it is not unheard of. He remembered that the Odolan Magic used this tactic a few years ago." Xue Liancheng pondered for a moment and said.

In the NBA 08-09 season, it was an era where princes competed for hegemony. The Magic adopted a power forward-centered coordination tactic to stand out from the Eastern Conference.

Point guards Alston and Nelson control the ball but are not organized. They specialize as attackers and are used to tear apart the opponent's defense.

Forward Hedo Turkoglu is not fast either, but he serves as a support organization and initiates almost every attack.

Center Howard guards the basket, dominates the paint, and dominates the paint.

Then add Rashard Lewis, an elevated three-point turret, to open up the space.

Then equip a group of gangsters who can defend or have three-pointers, such as Michael Struss, Courtney Lee, and JJ Redick.

That year, they defeated the defending champion Boston Celtics, beat the crap out of my peak James, and advanced to the finals in one fell swoop, shocking the entire league.

Finally, in the finals, they met Tianke's top three lineup and Kobe Bryant at his peak. As a result, they missed the championship and were swept by the Los Angeles Lakers.

But actually Gentleman Sweep is an illusion.

First of all, we must admit that the Lakers' overall strength is stronger than the Magic, and their lineup is restrained. This is for sure.

Bynum, one of the Lakers' top three players, happens to be a flexible center with a large tonnage. Howard has limited offensive methods, so this type is what he fears the most.

The Lakers' top three, Gasol, even beat Lewis to the bone.

Odom, the last player in the three highs, also made Turkoglu very uncomfortable.

This is the perfect restraint of the three highs.

Coupled with Kobe's powerful lethality, the Magic are unstoppable.

But even so, it is definitely not strong enough to win the championship.

Two of the four games the Magic lost went into overtime, and they had many chances to win the initiative in the Finals.

If Courtney Lee's classic reverse layup could be made before the end of regular time in Game 2...

If Howard makes one of his two free throws 11 seconds before the end of regulation in Game 2...

If Van Gundy directs his team to decisively commit early fouls and prevent Fisher from taking a three-pointer...

If Nelson could have pressed Fisher on that last defensive play instead of retreating to the three-point line...

But, there is no if.

All this has been written into history.

What is certain is that the magic back then was definitely not as weak as imagined.

The Boston Celtics were eliminated because of Garnett's injury.

But the knight who defeated my great Emperor James is actually powerful.

How weak can it be?

Just when people thought that the era of Howard of Warcraft was coming.

Howard's wing is broken!

Before taking off, it crashed on the spot.

Because Hedo Turkoglu, the key to unlocking Dwight Howard, left for the Toronto Raptors.

Looking back afterwards.

In fact, the real offensive core of that Magic team was Hedo Turkoglu, not Howard, or to be precise, Howard was the core of the defensive tactics.

True.

Howard is very strong, but he is strong on defense. One person weaves the no-fly zone, and one pillar guarantees sky-high rebounds.

In fact, his offensive methods are very limited. He only has three axes, namely a small hook, catching the ball and dunking at the basket, and using his body to dig in and his flexible footsteps to turn and layup.

Other independent offensive capabilities and low-post skills can be completely ignored.

He desperately needs someone who can pass the ball to him, and someone who can pass the ball to him comfortably.

And that person is Hedo Turkoglu.

same.

Hedo Turkoglu lost his magic system and tactical status and was abolished on the spot.

Today's UCLA is somewhat similar to that Magic team back then.

Sledgehammer Kyle Anderson provides high-position support and organization, and is an important starting point for the offense.

Zach LaVine uses his speed and explosiveness to assume the role of rusher.

Jordan Adams is a three-point turret with richer offensive methods.

Drew II in the paint, although not as dominant as Howard in the paint, is still very good in defense and rebounding.

Small forward Waltzman, who defends full-time, shoots three-pointers when there is an open opportunity.

By analogy, the tactics of the two teams are indeed similar, but UCLA is a simplified version. They do not have dominant inside players.

Hearing Xue Liancheng's words, Old Man Klin's eyes suddenly lit up, but then dimmed quickly, "Continue."

The lineup that can restrain this tactic is the height of the inside and the stranglehold in the penalty area. The Lakers have already demonstrated it.

But the problem is, this is Indiana's weakness.

Except for Feng Lai, their inside players are not very good.

Even Feng Lai is not good at crushing the penalty area. He is even a little afraid of confrontation. His finishing ability and defensive ability are average.

This is terrible.

"Winning the game is actually very easy. You have to play fast, break through, and have a good success rate." Xue Liancheng continued to express his opinions.

"Ok?"

Old man Kelin frowned and asked, "How?"

"UCLA's two aces, Anderson and Adams, are not fast. This is their flaw. If we play fast, it is equivalent to hitting them seven inches."

“Breaking through is good for killing, and as long as they get into foul trouble, that means our chance is here.”

"Our high success rate means that they have no rebounding advantage. Without the rebounding advantage, their attacking frequency will be reduced, and this tactic will be greatly compromised."

Xue Liancheng gave reasons one by one.

of course.

In fact, there is another reason he didn't say, it is convenient for him to scan data.

Play fast.

He can use vision to give assists.

Hit breakthroughs and hit success rates.

To put it bluntly, these two proposals have the same effect.

—Let him let go.

You know, the entire Indiana Mountaineers team, just his and Hash's breakthroughs are absolutely intimidating and have the ability to tear apart the opponent's defense.

However, due to Hash's height and limited explosive power, his finishing ability is very average, and his scoring efficiency is actually not high.

Then.

He was the only one left.

He should be Indiana's most assured scorer.

If he was the team's first offensive option, wouldn't his scores keep rising?

There is no need to arrange a lot of tactics like before, who to play pick-and-roll, when to move, who to respond, pass and cut cooperation, how to open up space when Hash launches an attack, and how to cover Vonlei, and so on.

Xue Liancheng has always been embarrassed to say that Old Man Klin's fancy things are actually complicating simple problems.

As for whether his proposal is effective and whether he can lead the team to win, he doesn't know.

Only after trying it can you know the difference.

"Hmm...not a bad idea."

Although old man Klin's expression was dark, his eyes were piercing. He paused, and then glanced at everyone, "Do you have anything to add?"

There was silence.

"Since no one has any other suggestions, let's practice tactics as Xue said." Old Man Klin finally made the final decision.

Xue Liancheng raised his eyebrows, feeling extremely happy.

Old man!

You are finally enlightened!
