NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The first time, the second time.

Chapter 36 Big Four and One Small, Run and Gun Tactics?

New Fox Sports.

“It’s not a good start, brothers. The five-man team of the University of Kansas is very strong. They took the initiative and gained the advantage in a short time.”

“It’s mainly because the outside line group is a bit disadvantaged. Kirk Hinrich and Gislanford on the opposite side are both RSCI players.”

“The draft prospects are bright, but the outside line group of the Wolf Pack team looks a bit unbearable.”

Being behind at the beginning, Bai Yang couldn’t help but worry, and discussed with the fans in the live broadcast room.

——【I’ve watched the Wolf Pack team since the divisional finals, and it’s similar to what the anchor said. The opening is basically balanced or with a small advantage. It’s really the first time I’ve seen them fall behind. 】

——【However, today’s whistle was outrageous. Wang Song was held by his opponent several times when he asked for the ball in the low post, but no foul was given. 】

——【Offense has never been Wang Song’s strong point. His role on the court for the Wolf Pack is mainly off-ball support and defensive deterrence. But today’s opponent is very special. It’s not one or two stars, but five people. All five players of the Kansas Jayhawks have personal scoring ability, which is very exaggerated. 】

···

Sidelines.

Herb Sendek was stunned when he heard Julius Hodge’s suggestion.

Hodge, who usually plays the 2/3 position, actually took the initiative to propose to play inside with Wang Song.

The forward-guard swingman suddenly became an inside swingman.

Herb Sendek looked at Jim, a little confused.

Jim also shrugged, indicating that he didn’t know.

Although this kind of scientific research tactics is often thought up by his imaginative assistant.

But this time it’s really not him!

It was not until Julius Hodge himself said the key to this arrangement that the two suddenly realized it.

···

“Julius, do you mean to open up space for Wang to play this offensive point in the low post? But you have to think clearly, you will need to fight against Simeon or Collison next.”

“You have seen the offensive level of those two guys in the regular season.”

“Yes, Assistant Coach Jim, don’t worry. To put it bluntly, there is only a difference of about five centimeters between me and them, so don’t worry!”

Hodge looked at the other side of the player’s bench and raised his head.

“Besides, don’t I still have Wang behind me?”

Jim confirmed Hodge’s thoughts again and received a very affirmative answer from the other party.

To be honest, Jim was a little surprised when Hodge first proposed this idea.

Including other people in the coaching team.

This arrangement is really too crazy!

The lineup of four small and one big has not become popular in this era.

Because the current three-point shooting rate is generally not as high as expected.

On the contrary, it is easy to expose problems in defense, and the opponent’s success rate and offensive efficiency of mismatching will be much higher.

On the side, Herb Sendek listened to the conversation between the two, judged from the amount of information obtained, and agreed to this bold idea.

It’s better to treat a dead horse as a living one!

At the moment, the Wolf Pack team has no better way.

Instead of being obsessed with perfection in defense, it is better to change the strategy and attack aggressively.

Do it as soon as you say it, and the game continues.

Replace the original power forward with a team’s fixed pitcher.

The personnel changes on the North Carolina Wolf Pack team caused quite a stir at the scene.

“What are you kidding? Four dwarfs with an Asian big fool?”

“Come on, this is a basketball game, not a football game.”

“That bald old man in North Carolina is really confused by losing. He even dares to arrange such a lineup in the finals.”

···

The noise and ridicule in the stands came one after another.

On the side.

In the commentary booth on the sidelines, two TNT frontline commentators also expressed their opinions on this.

“Kenny, this is definitely the funniest lineup I’ve ever seen!”

Barkley laughed out loud, and he couldn’t hold back when he saw the Wolf Pack’s weird lineup.

Kenny Smith also smiled.

But as a TV host, his remaining styling made him regain his seriousness and analyze it seriously.

“Charles, maybe the Wolf Pack’s strategy is worth a look. I think the North Carolina Wolf Pack’s lineup has something to say. Maybe it’s a super trump card that will be hidden until the finals.”

“Four small and one big, all the outside players have three-point ability, it looks like a very novel way of playing.”

Seeing this lineup, Kenny Smith was down

The consciousness immediately thought of the running and gunning tactics that some NBA teams are trying out now.

By emphasizing the speed of offense and defense conversion, the rhythm is played based on high-speed and smooth conduction.

The 5th position protects the rebounds, and the 4th position counterattacks with the speed advantage.

The prerequisites are relatively harsh, requiring the center to have a relatively stable long pass and the ability to protect rebounds.

The 4th position needs to have the threat of 3 points and counterattack speed at the same time.

And now on the court.

The North Carolina Wolf Pack has such conditions, but the execution effect… remains to be considered.

Kenny Smith has a new look at the coaching team of the North Carolina Wolf Pack.

Dare to use the latest offensive routines developed on the market in this nature of the game, must be a tough character.

“What’s going on? The main power forward was replaced by a three-point shooter?”

“Wang Song is alone in defending the twin towers of the Kansas Jayhawks. It’s a bit difficult!”

···

Even Roy Williams’ face is full of questions.

Being familiar with the tactics of the court, he naturally knew the prototype of the run-and-gun style, but under the pressure of the Jayhawks’ outside line group.

Can the North Carolina Wolf Pack really support this not-quite-systematic style of play?

“Retreat quickly when the transition is coming!”

He stood on the sidelines and called out to the players.

The Jayhawks also put aside their contempt and raised their spirits.

Only by being cautious can they go further.

Backcourt.

The Wolf Pack guard advanced to the frontcourt slowly.

Then.

After calling a screen, he brought the defense to the left.

But the other three outside teammates also took the opportunity to lurk on the left.

As a result, the space on the left became extremely narrow.

The Wolf Pack guard had no room to break through at all, just when everyone was a little puzzled.

A figure suddenly flashed on the weak side, and he blocked the defender behind him and took the initiative to position.

The ball was passed to him out of the blue.

When the other four players of the Jayhawks saw the face of the offensive ball handler, they subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

···

Wang Song received a pass from his teammate in the right corner.

Facing Collison’s defense, he could clearly feel that the opponent was very nervous.

Especially the hands that had been on him, exerting pressure from time to time, trying to make him retreat.

“Come on, Asian boy, let me see if your courage is scared… broken!”

Before Collison said the word broken, his speech speed and time.

seemed to be stagnant at that moment.

His heart, which was beating violently in his chest, suddenly stopped moving when Wang Song touched him.

Then, he lost control of his body.

The whole person was in the air, completely unable to control his actions.

The Asian on the opposite side was like a barbarian. It seemed that it was a very tentative round of physical contact.

He directly pushed himself into the air.

Then, the whole person jumped into the air and dunked!
