I was determined to be bad, but I went straight to the Basketball Hall of Fame

Chapter 298 I Decided to Play Chuanqie (Part [-])
"Mr. Smart, have you sorted out all these?"

"Yes, I sorted out the tactical characteristics of each era in the NBA, and recorded a few typical teams."

"It's amazing...but...why do you seem to be recording bad teams?"

"Uh... Well, we Chinese have a saying that if we learn from history, we can know the ups and downs, and if we understand these bad things, we can avoid them."

"But, isn't it okay to know the good things directly?"

"So I didn't ask you to bring the data of the Kings! The Kings were very good, right?"

"Yes, it used to be very powerful. But now..."

Ada and Min Congda were sitting in the living room, helping to sort out the recorded drafts, while asking questions to open their minds.

When Min Congda first crossed over and knew nothing about basketball, Ada often answered questions for Min Congda.

Later, Min Congda knew more and more, and his learning ability was even stronger, so Ada's NBA know-how was less useful.

Now, Min Congda needs some inspiration and brainstorming, and Ada is a good helper.

Min Congda flipped through the autobiography "The Smart Take from the Strong" (Smart Take from the Strong) by Pete Carell, the founder of King's once famous Princeton tactics.

"There is my name in the title of the book, which means that it is destined for me, but the name is not well named. Wisdom comes from being strong, and defeating the strong? I don't believe it."

While reading a book, Min Congda thought about the significance of Princeton tactics in the current environment.

"Ada, what do you think of Princeton's tactics?"

Ada thought for a while and said: "Princeton tactics have only played a good role in the Kings, and apart from the Kings, other teams have not used this tactic as a basis, but only introduced some tactical ideas and routines. This tactic There's a big flaw in the NBA."

"What are the flaws?"

"The original intention of Princeton's tactical design is to allow teams with mediocre physical fitness to obtain the best open scoring opportunities through air cuts, back-running, and opening the back door. But in the NBA, players are generally excellent in physical fitness, and it is very difficult to obtain space. , It’s not just a simple movement to get a vacancy.”

"Also, as you said, in the first decade of the 21st century, the return of superstar singles was very high, and Princeton did not provide good opportunities for superstar singles like the triangle offense. In the high-intensity games of the playoffs, Princeton tactics Overly cumbersome passing will increase the turnover rate, which is fatal in the playoffs where every offense is important. On the contrary, the triangle offense that relies on singles is less prone to turnovers.”

"After all, the league is a place where stars are admired. Princeton's tactics are destined to be non-mainstream. Some of its tactical ideas will have a positive impact on the team, but I am afraid that it will not achieve good results if this strategy is applied across the board. Kings No team has used this tactical system since then.”

Min Congda nodded, satisfied with Ada's answer, and basically hit Princeton's Achilles' heel.

After Adelman, who became famous in Princeton, coached the Rockets, many ball critics and experts believed that the Rockets would play Princeton offensively.

But in fact, the Rockets during the Yao Ming-Adelman period couldn't beat Princeton at all, and Yao Ming didn't want to beat Princeton either.

The Rockets in 07-09 were actually more of a triangle offense to create one-on-one opportunities for Yao Ming.

That's why Yao Ming was able to score a peak of 25 points in a single season, which is quite high for a center.

It's a pity that Yao Ming's body is too fragile and frequently injured, and his dominance in the low post is not up to O'Neal's level.

Simply thinking that Adelman is playing Princeton is very stereotyped. He didn't play Princeton when he was in the Trail Blazers.

An excellent NBA head coach will not be obsessed with a set of tactical systems, but will look at the dishes based on his own experience and team configuration.

Just like when Riley went from the Lakers to New York, people had unrealistic fantasies that there would be Show-time in New York. As a result, Riley accurately grasped the Knicks lineup and the NBA trend in the 90s, and created an iron-blooded defensive version of the Knicks. Touch the championship.

The lineup of the 02 Kings is indeed very suitable for the Princeton system, but it is a pity that the version is wrong. It has encountered the era of the highest singles revenue and the Los Angeles Lakers, plus various factors such as luck, it can only be a flash in the pan.

Min Congda took out the lineup of the Kings in 02 and pondered over it, thinking: "Isn't our Clippers' lineup similar to the Kings? A center who can pass the ball, a powerful power forward, and a small forward who can shoot three-pointers , a very strong point guard. And our Clippers are still a low-profile version! The low-profile version of the King, using the King's outdated old tactics, is proved to be unsuitable for this tactic version, this is not a match made in heaven!"

Thinking of this, Min Congda slammed the table, which startled Ada.

"What's the matter, Mr. Smart?"

"Well written, this book is really well written."

"You mean this book by Mr. Pete Carell?"

"Yeah, I don't know if Mr. Carell is still here. I really want to invite him to the team to guide the team's tactics."

"Mr. Carell passed away in 06."

"Really? That's such a pity."

"But... why do you want to play Princeton tactics? This has proven to be unsuitable for the current tactical system. Most teams will not focus on Princeton, but appropriately intersperse some small tactics like this to enrich the tactical pool. That's all."

Ada is very puzzled. Just now she clearly said that Princeton is not suitable for the current NBA. Does Mr. Smart have any unique insights?

Sure enough, Min Congda waved his hand and said, "Ada, as a girl, you should understand that fashion is a reincarnation. Let me tell you, tactics are also a reincarnation. I think the NBA is about to enter an era that is most suitable for Princeton's tactical system!"

Ada became very curious and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Min Congda said: "Because the space and three-pointers are more fully utilized, the passing and cutting system represented by Princeton will usher in the best period of performance. The court space will be larger, and the players' shooting ability will be stronger. There will be more back doors, so…”

As he talked, why did Min Congda think it made sense?
No, Princeton is a reverse version strategy, how could it be suitable for the present?
He just made up a cover and said a few casual words to deceive Ada.

Space and three-pointers are also good for inside-out. Is it only good for Princeton to pass and cut?
"So what, Mr. Smart?" Ada asked again.

"So, the Clippers are going to start playing pass and cut tactics on the offensive end!"
