When we watch NBA games, the players' cooperation is just right, the ball moves smoothly, and the scenes are really beautiful. This is all because of the superb tactical arrangements of the coaches and the strong execution of the players. However, we often only watch the games but don't Do you know what the tactics are? Now let's explore some of the famous NBA tactical systems so that we can better understand the game in the future and enrich our deeper basketball knowledge.
["Zen Master" Phil Jackson's triangle tactics]:
The triangle offense is also called the trinity offense or the sideline triangle offense. In short, it is an offensive system that includes a "triangle" of three players on one side of the offense and two players on the other side.
A player with post-playing ability serves as the pivot Two aggressive outside and pivot players form a triangle position This way, if the inside is not double-teamed, you can play alone! Double-teaming the perimeter will give you a chance and the weak side will also have a chance to cut! But this tactic requires that the awareness of the axis players is quite goodsuch as Jordan beforeGasol now
The tactic of the triangle offense became famous with the Bulls dynasty in the 1990s and the Lakers dynasty at the beginning of this century. Although this tactic was promoted by Phil Jackson, who served as the head coach of the above two teams, Jackson was not the originator of this tactic. If you trace back to the roots, the idea of ??introducing the triangle offense to the Bulls came from assistant coach Tex Winter, Jackson's partner when he was the team's head coach. Winter's understanding of the triangle offense began when he was at the University of Southern California ( USC coach Sam Barry in the 1940s.
"The triangle offensive system is not only a basketball tactic, but also a set of philosophical theories. It is a valuable asset that has been thought and refined and can help the team win the game. When the team switches from defense to offense, ensure Players can get into position in the opponent's half with clear thinking and purpose." - Los Angeles Lakers head coach Phil Jackson said.
Each player should be separated by 4.5 meters to 6 meters (this is the standard for NBA players, the distance between high school students is 3.6 meters to 4.5 meters, and the distance between college students is 4.5 meters to 5.4 meters), whether on the strong side (defense) The side with more players) or the weak side (the side with fewer defensive players) looks like a triangle. But regardless of the defender, forward or center, their positions are not fixed. The players' positions can be exchanged without destroying the triangle. Once positions begin to change, that's when the triangle offense begins.
As Jackson said: "The biggest misunderstanding about the triangle offense is that it is tailor-made for talented players. The true role of the triangle offense is to help teams that do not seem to be outstanding to enhance their offensive capabilities. Strength." Still, there are a few things you need to successfully use the triangle offense:
1. Breakthrough. Players must be able to break through the opponent's defense, and the best way to do this is on the fast break.
2. Pull open. The distance between players is crucial to the effectiveness of the offense. Phil Jackson believes that a reasonable distance between players should be maintained at 4.5 meters to 6 meters. This will not only help to see the defensive players clearly, but the offensive players will also have a wider field of vision.
3. Running without the ball. Although the audience always focuses on the players on the team, the impact of running without the ball on the game is far beyond the imagination of the audience. Reasonable running without the ball will give the ball carrier more time and more options.
4. Offensive rebounds. When a shot is missed, players must be strong enough to fight for rebounds, so as not to allow the opponent to counterattack with a fast break because the attack failed. As Phil Jackson said: "The moment you grab an offensive rebound, another offense begins."
5. Screening is a kind of tactical cooperation between offensive players. Counter-covering is a tactic in which the offensive ball-carrying player passes the ball and then covers for the player who is covering for him; double cover means that two people take turns to cover the ball-carrying player;
6. The closing is when two defensive players reasonably flank an offensive player.
7. The triangle offense means that the offensive players form a triangle! It's not just about pick and roll, but the principles of space, isolation ability, passing concepts and skills, free-handed positioning ability, empty-handed and empty-handed positioning ability and concepts, etc., are the essence of the triangle.
The triangle offense consists of three players forming a triangle on one side and a "two-player game" on the other side. It is not like those fixed routines, full of free movement in the offense. Depending on the defense, the triangle offense will have various response methods. According to the words of the old Winter, it is "read and react".
However, the triangle offense is not a completely free offense. It is a structural system that requires precise spacing and positioning. Every player must know every position on the court. And we will never be able to understand all the tactics of the triangle offense.Transformed.
1. Establish a triangle:
The triangle offense begins in a 1-2-2 position, where each player is 15 feet (about 4.5 meters) apart. This distance can open up the opponent's defense and prevent the occurrence of double teams. It also facilitates concise passing and reduces the risk of being intercepted by the opponent.
There are many ways to form an attacking triangle:
? 1. The point guard (1) can pass the ball to the small forward (3), and then cut into the bottom corner from the inside;
2. The point guard (1) can also pass the ball to the small forward (3), and then cut into the bottom corner from the outside
The triangle offense also allows defenders to occupy the low post. That way there are several different ways to form the attacking triangle. For example: The point guard passes the ball to the small forward, then the center (5) pulls out to the corner, allowing the offensive guard to move down low.
There is another option to obtain the offensive triangle by dribbling. For example, the point guard dribbles to the small forward position, and the small forward moves to the corner, so that they and the center form an offensive triangle.
2. Run the triangle offense:
Once the offensive triangle is established (we take the point guard cutting into the corner as an example), then a "battle line" consisting of the ball (small forward), the offensive axis (center) and the basket is formed. This means that the opponent defending the center must stay between the basket and the center. As long as that "front" exists he cannot leave.
Once this situation is formed, people can see that a clear channel for passing the ball into the low post is opened. The small forward can easily pass the ball inside or "feed" the ball to the center.
In order to prevent the ball from entering the inside or passing to the center, the defender of the center must stand on the same side of the center or move forward. If he goes forward, then he loses his position between the basket and the center, and it's the center who gets the high pass,
Or the opportunity for a quick pass from the same side to directly face the basket.
If we wanted to demonstrate the importance of pass play and options in the triangle offense, we would be practicing on the playboard all day long. Compared to some other offensive plays, the triangle offense has countless ways to get the ball into the "triangle point (offensive axis)." Therefore, it will be very difficult to defend or disrupt the triangle offense.
Proper position spacing greatly increases the chance of getting the ball in the low post and creates one-on-one opportunities. Likewise, any player in the triangle offense can help his teammates get open shots.
Here are other offensive options after catching the ball in the low post:
1. Low pick-and-roll:
When the small forward passes the ball to the inside, he sets a screen for the point guard, giving him the opportunity to directly receive the pass from the center.
2. Mobile cover:
After the small forward passes the ball inside, he moves to the other side to cover the power forward (4) and gives him a chance to get rid of the defender. At this time, the point guard can look for the backdoor to break through the baseline.
3. The ball is passed to the bottom corner:
This option starts with the small forward passing the ball to the point guard in the corner. After the ball is passed, the small forward uses the center's screen to cut in. If there is a chance, the point guard can pass the ball in from behind.
If the small forward fails to shake off the defense, the point guard can use the center's screen to directly dribble for a layup.
3. In the triangle offense, the weak side also has a lot of offensive opportunities.
1. High-profile backdoor:
If the center has no chance to catch the ball, the power forward can quickly move to the side with the ball. If the opponent's defensive player moves between the ball and the power forward to prevent the ball from being caught, the power forward can change direction and turn toward the basket. Move down, then catch the high-profile ball and score a layup.
2. Angle position:
Another offensive option is to pass the ball back to the offensive defender, and then pass the ball to the angle of the weak-side elbow (the junction of the free throw arc and the free throw line). There are two options for this tactic: one is for the offensive guard to use the power forward's screen to cut in; the other is for the point guard to use the double screen of the center and small forward to move to the corner position, and then receive the pass from the offensive guard. Get open for a shot.
3. Cover breakthrough:
This is when the offensive guard relies on the power forward's screen to dribble and cut to the basket;
4. Attack the back door of the defender:
When the offensive guard's receiving route is blocked, the power forward moves quickly to receive the pass from the small forward. The attacking guard on the other side can get a "backdoor" opportunity for a direct layup. Of course, the quality of the power forward's passing is very important.
Every change in the triangle offensive tactics tells us that the use of basic skills such as passing, dribbling and shooting is the key to successful tactics.
About the triangle offense:
?It is well known that the Lakers' triangle offense (triangleoffense) and the Rockets' Princeton offense (princetonoffense) are both derived from the pick-and-cut tactic (motionoffense).
The principles of triangle tactics defined in the book "Bulls Dynasty" published by Phil Jackson in 1995 are:
? 1. The holding player must need three threats such as cutting, passing, and shooting to break through the defense.
2. The offense must cover the entire half.
3. The offense must have the principle of space.
4. The offense should ensure that the player and the ball are moving toward the same goal (seeking gaps or attacking the basket).
5. Every time a shot is made, other players should be properly positioned for offensive rebounds and fast breaks.
6. Every time the ball is passed to prepare for an attack, it will create a gap that the defender cannot take into account.
7. The offense should be designed according to the characteristics of the players.
The triangle tactic has helped Phil Jackson win 11 NBA championship rings (including 6 for the Bulls and 5 for the Lakers). He is working hard for his 12th ring, so the triangle offense is the most threatening tactic!
[Jerry Sloan¡¯s pick-and-roll tactics]:
For example, if you are a guard and you are working with a center or power forward on the pick-and-roll,
When you dribble to the position where you need to block (of course you have someone guarding you, and the center is also guarding), the center comes up to block the side of the person defending you, and then you pass by the side where the center is blocking. , at this time the person guarding the center will come up to cover you. The center will quickly turn around at this time and a gap will appear, and then the defender will pass the ball. The center throws the ball in.
This whole process is the pick-and-roll.
The essence of pick-and-roll tactics is more about dismantling, that is, dismantling the ball. Splitting and dismantling the opponent's defense. I mentioned the block before, so the dismantling starts from the block. When my teammates block and carry people for me. I choose to dribble the ball in another direction. Then if we are in a one-on-one defense, another player of the opponent will definitely follow up to make up the defense. And our players are stationary, because according to the basketball rules During the pick-and-roll, the covering player is not allowed to move. So if I am in possession of the ball, I will face two defenders, or cause a double-team. And when I attract two defensive players to defend, our By moving quickly and running, players can get open shooting opportunities. At this time, I will give him the ball in time to make his shot. This is the ball split. In the NBA, many situations use a shot. One-on-one defense and zone defense are rare, so pick-and-roll tactics are often used. The performance of pick-and-roll tactics directly depends on the ability and level of the ball-controlling player. Generally, the ball-controlling players must belong to the league. Top level ones. Such as Nash, Deron, etc.
In the past Suns, Nash and Stoudemire's classic pick-and-roll were already well-remembered, and their pick-and-roll tactics and the final tactical terminator were basically Stoudemire. This is to make full use of both the pick-and-roll and the roll. .As for watching Lakers games, Kobe and Gasol also cooperated in pick-and-rolls. But more often, they relied on Kobe's superhuman ability to get out of the way and make a layup or directly hit a shot. Gasol got it. There are very few opportunities. This kind of pick-and-roll is the incomplete pick-and-roll often used in amateur basketball games.
But speaking of the pick-and-roll, the most successful pick-and-roll combination in NBA history was the "Utah duo" of the Jazz in the 1990s: Karl Malone & Stockton. The two took the pick-and-roll tactic to the extreme. The Jazz's German Long and Boozer have the shadow of Malone and Stockton in them, which also gave Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan hope, and decided to use the two to form the core of the team to build the future Jazz. , for this the team¡¯s former top star Kirilenko was very angry. Sloan almost reached the top 10 years ago, but failed in the end. I don¡¯t know what the fate of the current Jazz will be, but I feel that 07- The Jazz in the 2008 season have been ignored. In fact, they are the real ruthless players. After 10 years, they entered the Western Conference finals again, which also proved Sloan's determination to restore and his nostalgia for the past.
It is unrealistic to completely prevent the pick-and-roll.
The purpose of pick-and-roll is to actively create opportunities for mismatched singles. The offensive side is the active side. As long as someone takes the initiative to do the pick-and-roll, and another offensive player digs his shoulder with him, a mismatch will definitely occur.
The only thing the defense can do is limit the pick-and-roll as much as possible.
When defending, you need to look at the opponent's technical characteristics. If the opponent's point guard is a very accurate shooting type, you cannot bypass it when guarding the pick and roll. You must squeeze through. You must always stay in front of the ball carrier and cannot let him Easily get the chance to take action.
If the opponent is a breakthrough player, then of course it must be bypassed, and it must not be switched, and the small guard must be small. If the big guard is small, it will easily lead to a two plus one layup.
[Gregg-**Veach¡¯s Twin Tower Tactics]:
??Twin Towers Tactics: As the name suggests, it is based onA tactic that relies on two big men to take charge of the interior. Defensively, the two heights can complete the task of intimidating offensive players and blocking shots; on the backboard, the rebound control of the two heights can be imagined to be more advantageous than a center; offensively, the twin tower tactics It has considerable advantages in high-lifting situations.
The offensive tactics of the Twin Towers:
First, a big player A stands in the high post, and another big player B asks for the ball inside. A sends the ball directly to B. Then A cuts directly inside, and B chooses to pass the ball to A, which is completed by A. Score a layup or dunk. Or B chooses to isolate the defensive player, and A quickly moves towards the basket when B takes action, and uses his height to gain the advantage of offensive rebounds; secondly, A stands high near the free throw line, and player B wants to position inside, and B suddenly moves toward the baseline Move to get rid of the defensive player, and A uses the height advantage to directly bypass the defensive player in front of B and send the ball to B's hands. B directly lays up or dunks and scores, and A also rushes to the inside at the moment of B's ??shot to get as much as possible Offensive rebounds; thirdly, A stands in the low post and receives the ball from outside players for singles. Player B stands in the low post on the weak side. When A is double-teamed by a player, pass the ball to B to complete the score, or B directly moves to the basket in a semicircle. From the front, after receiving the pass from A, he shoots and scores. After B gets the ball from the front of the basket, A quickly moves to the original low position without the ball. B returns the ball to A's hands, and A completes the score.
The defensive tactics of the Twin Towers:
First, big defensive player A is guarding the offensive player alone. When the offensive player attempts to get rid of player A with fake moves or leaning on his feet to complete the attack, big defensive player B steps forward to cover and complete the block; secondly, , when A is defending, B directly steps forward to double-team, taking advantage of the two heights and relative limb lengths to cause the offensive and defensive player to make mistakes; thirdly, A on the ball side adopts a defensive position in front of the defensive player, while player B is weak. The low post on the side is relatively close to the basket. Once the offensive inside player gets an overhead pass from the outside and avoids A, B has already stepped forward to double-team; fourthly, A on the side with the ball will stand in front to defend and attack the defensive player, while Player B is positioned relatively close to the basket in the low post on the weak side. If the offensive team attempts to bypass player A and send the ball to the penalty area, player B immediately steps forward to double-team and interfere with the two big players A and B. The offensive player wants the ball inside, which directly results in being unable to catch the ball or making a mistake in catching the ball.
The basic positioning of the twin tower tactics is one person each in the left and right low positions, or one person each in the high position and low position. The two complement each other. In addition to the composition of the basic tactics, the twin tower players use their height and wingspan advantages to complete the penalty area advantage in the game. An indispensable factor in the twin-tower tactics is the offense. At least one of the heights needs to have high-position capabilities. Otherwise, it is just two big positions inside and lacks the depth of offensive tactics. Then the offense will be very difficult. It is difficult to get open; in addition, skilled passing ability and rebounding awareness are also two important factors necessary for the twin tower tactics.
This double-tower tactic is also a team-wide tactic, but it is mainly based on two insiders and also pays attention to the running position of the whole team, just like the {{Robinson and Duncan}} twin-tower tactic studied by **Vitch:
? 1. When attacking the basket, they always stay on the left and right of the basket, never crowded to one side, so as to control the scope of the basket to the maximum extent. (commonly known as "the hooligan tactics under the basket");
2. Keep one person in the low post to catch the ball, and the other person moves out from the basket. One of them retreats directly to the free throw line. If the opponent's defensive player follows, the player with the ball in the low post will play in isolation. If he is double-teamed, he will get a free throw. The other player on the line makes a mid-range shot. If there is no chance, he will distribute the ball to the outside to find a three-point opportunity, or make a breakthrough from the outside. The outside player's position is usually at a 45-degree angle and the bottom corner of the weak side. The other is to go inside to the bottom corner of the weak side. The baseline on the other side wanders, and then through the pick-and-roll, a player cuts in from the middle to catch the ball and layup. If there is no chance to cut in, the wandering center returns to the free throw line and performs the tactics just mentioned.
3. The center walks to the basket first, suppresses it first, and suddenly raises the free throw line to catch the ball directly opposite the basket, or at a 30-degree spot on one side. The purpose is to pull out the opponent's center and evacuate the basket. At the same time, another person Quickly press from the weak side to the basket, forming an offensive advantage situation where the big one takes advantage of the small one. If the opponent's center does not follow up, he will make a jump shot from the free throw line.
The above three are the most basic and common Spurs twin-tower tactics, but players on the field will also adapt. For example, in tactics 2, the center walks out from the baseline and then moves to an angle between 30 degrees and 45 degrees on the weak side. At the same time, the person holding the ball in the low post distributes the ball to the top of the arc, and then quickly moves to the person swimming out on the weak side to attack.
The most basic tactical idea of ??the Twin Towers is to use one insider to empty the basket, so that the other insider can form a more favorable situation for physical confrontation (commonly known as using the big to fight the small).
Tactics are always tactics, and they need capable players to complete them. Since the Spurs twin towers have the ability to attack the basket and make mid-range jumpers, this tactic was born. If they lack mid-range shooting ability, the opponent's center will not be able to do it. Come out, in this case there will be no so-called twin towers. Boss used this twin tower tactic specially tailored for Shi Fo and the Admiral to win the first two games of the Spurs.??Overall champion.
[Rick Adelman¡¯s Princeton tactics]:
Introduction to the "Princeton Offense" rule: ¡ñAlways think about changing direction. ¡ñEvery defense can be broken.
¡ñFive players must work together, and not being selfish is more important than brains. ¡ñPlayer positions are no longer divided according to the traditional number 1-5, but a fixed position player + four other players.
¡ñThe core of the offense is cutting, passing and hand-to-hand passing. ¡ñThe essence of offense is cutting, not covering, but running to where no one is. ¡ñPass the ball to the open player by hitting the ground. ¡ñLet the center stand high and empty the penalty area.
¡ñDon¡¯t run in the direction of the ball. ¡ñEach attack may involve 5 or 6 sets of tactics. ¡ñIf the player you are guarding makes a 3-pointer and you can't guard him, cut from behind him during the offense, which is equivalent to kicking his ass.
¡ñAlways read your opponent¡¯s defense and go to the back door when you have the opportunity.
Simply put, the Princeton offense was invented by former Kings assistant coach Pete Carrier, but it was later developed by Adelman! This style of play refers to moving without the ball, cutting and running back, constantly passing the ball, adhering to the overall basketball and team spirit, focusing on inside passing and inside command. This tactic pays great attention to the four links of "space, reality, observation, and execution", among which reverse running is the signature of Princeton's style of play. The Princeton tactic is the tactic that the Kings used to be famous for, and it emphasizes overall cooperation.
To be more specific, Princeton is a famous university in the United States, famous for its academics. The "Princeton Play" was invented by Pete Carrier. He used this style of play to lead Princeton University, a school where no student has an athletic scholarship, to win 500 times in the NCAA and set the record for the lowest points allowed 14 times. record.
The motto of the "Princeton Play" is "The strong can take advantage of the weak, and the smart can take advantage of the strong." The essence of this style of play is "people move, the ball moves, and in coordination." People move means moving without the ball. , air cuts and reverse runs, the ball moves with fingers and constantly passes the ball and shares the ball. Among them, counter-running is the signature of Princeton's style of play.
¡°The Princeton style of play¡± attaches great importance to the four links of ¡°space, timing, observation, and execution¡±. 1. Space refers to: the position and distance between players on the field; 2. Timing refers to: the timing of passing, running, and counter-running; 3. Observation refers to: observing the opponent¡¯s defensive position; 4. Execution refers to: executing the basic technology.
This style of play focuses on inside passing and inside command. The center who practices this style of play is called an organizational center. On the court, all five of them can pass the ball, shoot, love organization, and adhere to overall basketball and team spirit.
Princeton¡¯s offensive tactical system, developed by former Kings assistant coach Pete
Founded by Carril, it was named after his iconic "backdoor" tactics when he was coaching the Princeton University basketball team. This tactical offensive system is mainly positioned at constant passing, blocking and conscious running without the ball. Through a series of cooperation, it creates space under the basket, allowing the attacking side to score easily.
The motto of this tactic is "Don't turn your head, otherwise you will open the back door!" This offensive tactic is divided into two types: low attack and high attack. The first part will mainly introduce the low attack:
The first step in tactics: find the center. The concept of Princeton's offensive tactics is based on giving the ball to the center, and then letting the center become the offensive organizer. So whether it is in the transition between offense and defense or in positional offense, the most important thing is to "find the center", which is the No. 5 player on the field.
The second step in tactics: positioning. The offensive formation will begin with the center in a 2-2-1 position on the ball side. The deciding factor here will be whether your outside players can move better toward the middle. This tactic will be even more beneficial if your players are all guys who can dribble and pass on both ends of the floor.
The third step of the strategy: the first cut. Player No. 1 passes the ball to No. 3 on the wing, and then cuts to the bottom corner in the opposite direction. Note: Each such solo cut must be at full speed and make the opponent feel threatened. At this time, player No. 2 will move to the top of the three-point line, a key part of this tactic.
The fourth step of tactics: The offense will be launched at this time. Facing different defenses, there will be different offensive combinations:
1. The first backdoor. If the center (5) is facing the low post and cannot receive the ball to organize the initial offense, then No. 3 dribbles to the elbow (the joint between the free throw line and the free throw arc). If the opponent defending No. 2 is close to No. 2 to prevent No. 3 from passing the ball or he turns his head to watch the ball, then the back door of No. 2 will be open. At this time, No. 3 is required to be able to pass the ball with one hand, because this kind of passing speed is faster and delays the defense of the No. 2 defender.
2. Counter-position to catch the ball. When the center is in position in the low post, No. 3 passes the ball inside and moves toward the bottom corner to wait for the open three-point shot opportunity that appears when the defender double-teams the center. If, there is no packageThis gives the center a good space for one-on-one singles. Of course there is another option, which is the change of No. 2.
3. Another backdoor cut-in. After the center receives the ball, No. 2 cuts to the opposite corner. At this time, No. 4 moves to the open space at the top of the arc, and then No. 1 takes the position of No. 4. If the defensive player No. 4 goes to watch the ball or stays close to No. 4, No. 4 can run in the opposite direction to receive the quick pass from No. 5 and get the back door. At this point everyone should understand why this tactic requires a center who can pass the ball.
4. Cover the cut. When the center holds the ball, he can also choose another way to pass the ball to No. 4, which is to use the screen of No. 2. This requires No. 4 to always pay attention to the opponent's defense. If the defender is deceived by No. 2's cover, then No. 4 will also have the opportunity to run in the opposite direction to catch the ball and score.
5. Cut + dribble. When the ball is passed from the low post to player No. 2, No. 2 dribbles the ball toward another outside player No. 4. When the defensive player No. 4 pays attention to the ball, No. 4 can run back and cut in to receive the pass from No. 2 and score a layup! In this offense, if No. 4 has no chance to catch the ball in an open position, then No. 1 will move up to receive the pass from No. 2, then No. 4 will drop down low, No. 5 will move up high to block the ball for No. 2, and then No. 2 will receive the pass from No. 1. No.'s pass gave him a jump shot.
6. Another kind of air cutting + dribbling. When 5 passes the ball, pass it to No. 3 in the low post. At this time, No. 2 has moved to the bottom corner, and No. 4 has taken his place at the top of the arc. Dribble from No. 3 to the elbow to create a cutting opportunity for No. 4. Or after 1 replaces No. 4, 3 passes the ball to 1, and then No. 5 is raised as a screen for No. 3, thus allowing 3 to 1 to pass the ball and get a jump shot opportunity. Tactics 6 here is actually a low-level variation of Tactics 5.
The key to this tactical change: If the outside offensive player cannot seize a passing opportunity at any time, his best chance is to take advantage of the opponent's defensive player's intention and change direction to cut into the basket to score. Summary: Obviously, this tactic is based on the attacker's good vision and the ability to read the game (understand the defender's intentions), thereby choosing the correct attack method. This tactic has been repeatedly proven to be able to offset the strong personal abilities of opposing players. Finally we end up with Pete
Carril¡¯s words to end this part: ¡°In this tactic, the big man always has to get the ball from the small man, but remember, the most exquisite passes come from the hands of the big man.¡±
[Don Nelson¡¯s run and gun tactics]:
"Run and gun" refers to a basketball tactical idea that takes high-speed and smooth rotation as the main tactical feature, emphasizes the speed of offensive and defensive transitions, and partially sacrifices the offensive and defensive capabilities of the half-court position. In fact, it all adds up to speed and jump shots.
??Run and gun: It is called runandgun in English. It is roughly an open offensive system in the half court. Players constantly create opportunities through movement and conduction. Any player can choose the shot they think is appropriate at any place and at any time. Such teams mostly rely on outside touch, and most of the 4th positions can shoot. Players who are good at fast breaks, such as Marion of the Suns and Jamison of the Wizards, can shoot as far as the 3-point line and have excellent running and jumping abilities. Let¡¯s take the Suns as an example. Let¡¯s play Yi Tang-Nelson¡¯s run and gun tactics:
In the 2006-07 season, the Suns used Amar'e Stoudemire, who has a standard power forward body and playing style, to play center. Nash was responsible for the backcourt alone, and the frontcourt was equipped with fast offensive players such as Marion. The performance of these five starting main players is amazing. They can jointly contribute 90+ points per game, ranking first among the starting five of all teams in the league. They also drive the entire team's offensive ability, making the Suns It has become the best scoring team in the league.
The Suns' tactical routine is not complicated. In short, it can be summed up in one word: "fast". The Suns led by Nash do not pursue complicated passing coordination to create open shooting opportunities, but try to keep the ball in motion and never miss any shooting opportunity. Every player may be the initiator of the offense, and at the same time, They may all be the terminators of the offense, striving to create the most efficient blitz in the shortest time. This tactic is called "run and gun" in English, which means run and gun. This tactical style undoubtedly complements the Suns' personnel. They do not have a center player in the strict sense. They are a group of bloodthirsty shooters roaming the court relentlessly. Even if the opportunity is fleeting, they can seize the opportunity in time. Murder your opponent in the simplest and most direct way.
Nash is naturally the engine of this team. With his speed, breakthrough, vision and passing ability, the Suns' starting lineup has broken the conventional boundaries. Just like hungry sharks that are always accustomed to hunting for food while swimming, the four swingman players are running non-stop throughout the game. In this way, not only the explosive offensive energy is released, but also the opponents There was no time to catch their defensive holes. The Suns' creed is: "Play offense against attack, and win with firepower." This style of play is almost universal in the regular season. But it is not suitable for the intense playoffs.
As a prot¨¦g¨¦ of Cardinal Auerbach, Nielsen has obviously never disgraced his teacher's name. The terrifying run-and-gun tactics he developed with the Warriors have influenced the league for two decades and are still continuing. There is a small ball whirlwind in the league today. Nelson has never led a team to the finals in his career, and his winning rate in the playoffs is also at the bottom among all coaches on the famous coaching list. This shows that the run-and-gun style is good but not practical!
Small-ball tactics are like the Suns' fast-playing whirlwind style of play, where they play on the run, which is called small-ball tactics; like the Rockets and Spurs, which focus on defense and attack in the half-court, they are called big-ball tactics, but they generally don't seem to be called directly. What kind of big ball tactics? This kind of play usually requires a strong center or power forward!
The so-called small ball does not mean that the ball is smaller than usual, nor does it mean that the court is full of small people playing, but a style of play, a style that is now popular in the NBA. It can be called a small ball team. There is definitely no dominant center on the court. Therefore, the team basically does not play slow-paced half-court offense. If it must play half-court offense, the five players on the court must play half-court offense. The players are relatively spread out and use passing, pick-and-roll, and running positions to create shooting opportunities.
The prevalence of small balls in the league has a lot to do with the fact that there are fewer and fewer excellent centers in the NBA. Among outstanding centers such as Olajuwon, Robinson, Ewing, O'Neal, and Mourning, only O'Neal is left on the court. There are more and more all-round players in the league. Each of the five players on the court can dribble, break through, and shoot long distances from the outside. This is the representative of the popularity of all-round players.
In the past two or three seasons, increasing speed has become a common pursuit of many NBA teams. Teams that loved running and bombing in the past, such as the Suns and Warriors, still hold the banner of running high even after changing coaches; while teams that loved controlling speed and lowering the rhythm in the past, such as the Spurs, Rockets, Pistons, and Celtics, Also forced by the changes in their respective situations, there are new requirements for speeding up.
The new season has just begun, and the changes in the Spurs are a microcosm of the changes in the league's general environment. It can be seen that run and gun has become popular all over the world and is a prosperous era!
