Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 64 The Construction of Death Five Begins

"Zhao Hao, your ultra-long three-pointer is really strong." Tang Shuai, who had watched Zhao Hao's shooting practice secretly, came out of the corner and sighed.

"Hey, actually everyone said that." Zhao Hao replied as if he didn't want Bilian.

"Coach Hamblen and I rearranged your off-the-ball running and fixed-point shooting positions, so that you can shoot more long-range three-pointers near the top of the arc." Tang Shuai said seriously.

Oh?Changed tactics?

Zhao Hao quickly figured out the reason.

joke!In the last game, my ultra-long three-pointer was too arrogant, and it could indeed open up a lot of space for Kobe and Butler. How could Tang Shuai not take advantage of it.

At this time, the good old Hamblen sensiblely took out a tactical board from his hand, and enthusiastically explained the new tactics to Zhao Hao.

After all, even off-ball running masters like Curry and Ray Allen have studied it. Zhao Hao quickly understood the new tactics and said with a confident look.

"I totally understand."

Tang Shuai nodded in satisfaction. After all, he already knew about Zhao Hao's super high basketball IQ, so he knew the tactics as soon as he talked about it, so there was no surprise at all.

Then Tang Shuai started chatting with Zhao Hao about the most important thing, the last 4 minutes of the last game.

Zhao Hao naturally didn't hide it. He knew that he could sign a contract with the Lakers. Tang Shuai had spent some effort, so he explained them one by one.

After winning the championship, the five dead warriors of later generations were imitated by various leagues, but in the end, they only imitated a superficial imitation.

There are basically no teams that can perfectly replicate the success of the Warriors. In the final analysis, this is because the rest of the teams lack two key figures.

Curry and Thompson.

Who was the most accurate three-pointer in that era? — Curry.

Who was the most explosive three-point player in that era? — Thompson.

Curry in a good situation, soup in a desperate situation, this sentence is definitely not a joke.

With two of the best three-point shooters in the league, this is the capital for the Warriors to dare to play a small lineup.

Think about how terrifying it is for a duo that averages more than 40% of their three-pointers per game and can throw 3 three-pointers per game.

In a game, if Curry and Thompson can hit 100 of 40 three-pointers, that's 120 points.

And the same shot 100 two-pointers, how many do you need to score?

The answer is 60!
That's a 60% shooting percentage. How many centers in the league can hit such a shooting percentage?
This is why the Warriors disdain any team with a big center in the league, because their perimeter offensive efficiency is enough to beat any center in the league.

Of course, this alone is not enough to make the Warriors dominate the league. What is really scary is that the Warriors have never regarded three-pointers as the only magic weapon to win the game.

Think about the Mosaic team of later generations, and you will know that only shooting three-pointers will end up, that is really too extreme.

Back to the point, when the Warriors put up a lineup of the five dead, Curry is on the left and Thompson is on the right. Which one are you defending?Shrink the basket or follow the defense?

If it is a shrinking defense, then Curry and Thompson's three-pointers will punish you crazily from the outside.

And following the defense, you will have countless defensive loopholes. After all, as long as Curry runs outside, he must follow a lot of defenders behind his butt.

So you are not following, and you are not following.

It is true that no team can defend perfectly with such an offensive system.

What's more, the Warriors still have a lot of off-ball cuts and inside runs after Curry and Thompson are involved, which also brings them higher inside offensive efficiency, even more terrifying than some teams with star centers.

This. This is the fear that each team in the league was dominated by the Warriors' dead five.

This is Steve Kerr's offensive system, and it is also the reason why the Warriors' five small lineups can be so dominant.

Therefore, no team in the league can perfectly replicate the Warriors' five small offenses.

But the five small defenses can!

This is also a point that most teams in later generations can learn from and learn from.

Take down the center, lower the average height, increase the rotation speed on the field, form a partial double team, force the opponent to pass the ball, and fall into endless perimeter isolation.

Simply put, it is an evolved version of zone defense.

After listening to Zhao Hao's entire explanation about the small lineup, Tang Shuai was first amazed and then thoughtful.

Because this set of offensive play and defensive rotation is a complete system, it is not like a hot-headed impulsive move at all, and it cannot be completed in a short period of time.

In other words, Zhao Hao had studied this style of play many years ago?

Tang Shuai didn't believe it.

However, after listening to the essence of the five primary schools, Tang Shuai obviously had some insights, and of course there were still some things he didn't want to understand.

Like who's holding the ball in the high post?

Who runs off the ball on the perimeter?

Who is involved in the inside cuts and pick-and-roll rolls?
How many minutes does it take for such a small lineup of five to play a game?
These questions have to be thought about and solved slowly, and even after some experiments in the competition, the most correct answers can be obtained.

Hamblen on the side was completely confused, but he probably understood a little bit, that is, this style of play is very powerful.

"Of course, this lineup also has great shortcomings. If you encounter a real super insider, you will probably be hammered to death." Zhao Hao reminded again.

After all, even the Warriors, the most perfect five-small lineup in later generations, almost died in the hands of the twin towers composed of two super centers.

From this point, it is enough to see that it is the center forward who can restrain the five small lineups.

This is also the truth summed up by the major coaches of later generations. If there were big inside killers like O'Neal, Olajuwon or Malone in the league at that time.

You see, this five-small lineup is still open to change.

A few days later, Washington.

"Did you watch the top ten goals in the preseason game a few days ago?" Jamison said while he was training on the court, looking at Arenas beside him.

Although Jamison has just joined the Wizards this offseason, he and Arenas are in perfect harmony, so the two have a good relationship.

"Of course, but I think that except for the first place in the top ten balls, everything else is normal." Arenas said arrogantly naturally.

"That's a series of long-range three-point shots at the buzzer, which naturally stands out from the crowd. I didn't expect this to be done by a rookie player." Jamison said with a smile.

"It's nothing surprising. If it were me, I would have scored that winning goal." Arenas said confidently.

After all, in terms of shooting ability, Arenas has never been inferior to anyone, so he is confident in this point.

While the two were talking, another Wizards star, Larry Hughes, came over from the other side of the court.

"Come on, Arenas, you just like to talk about it. That kid has six three-pointers and all ultra-long shots. Are you sure you can do it?" Larry Hughes said provocatively.

If an uninformed person saw this scene, they would think that the two had some serious conflict, or that they were fighting for the leadership of the team.

After all, Larry Hughes is also a player who averaged 18.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game last season.

But in fact, the relationship between the two is very good.

It is precisely because the relationship is so good that Larry Hughes dared to tease him like this.
