Data Basketball In The Black Basket

Chapter 48: Outdated Tactics

The day passed quickly.

After a day of rest, Teikō went out to play at Tokyo Stadium again.

Today, their opponent is a team from the same region. They have been ranked second in the region by Teikō for 5 years, and their strength is considered strong.

Teikō's coaches are not worried at all because they know the opponent's lineup and tactics very well.

The opponent's head coach is a stubborn old man who is 60 years old.

He is somewhat similar to Jerry Sloan, the legendary coach of the NBA Jazz.

Since I entered the coaching profession, I have always played the same tactics, which have not changed in thirty years.

Of course, what the old man is playing is not Jerry Sloan's pick-and-roll offense, but the twin-tower tactics.

He can't play without two centers inside.

Therefore, Teikō's opponent today has always been known as a center's paradise.

As long as your model is outstanding, even if your skills are poor, you still have a good chance of playing.

Or maybe the model is poor, but as long as you are an insider, you can still appear when there is a shortage of people.

Wayne collected information about his opponents early on.

Today's opponent is tall on the inside and short on the outside.

The main area is impregnable, and the outside is as flexible as a monkey.

64% of the points are concentrated in the penalty area. This is a team that is quite good at scoring in the paint.

Their style of play is somewhat similar to the in-out style of the Rockets' Hakeem Hakeem and Glider Drexler's days.

Just call out and call in, call out and call in again, focusing on an internal and external connection.

Because they are all flexible little men on the outside, they will not be defeated by the opponent's fast-paced offense.

In the past, when Teikō played against this team, they always followed the height, engaged in a lot of physical combat with the opponent on the inside, and then relied on the advantage built by Nijimura on the outside to accumulate advantages bit by bit until they won the game.

The Teikō coaching staff planned to do the same thing this year, but Wayne came up with another plan.

Aiming at the shortcomings of the opponent's short outside line, blast directly from the outside line.

In the past, Teikō did not have such conditions, but this year he and Midorima have two more marksmen.

Shirogane Genzo thought for a moment and decided it was worth a try.

In this era of Japanese basketball, it is not as superstitious as in the past. After all, the era of big centers in the NBA is far behind.

However, there are still many conservative coaches who care about stability and make great efforts in the game.

Both sides are well-informed teams, so as soon as the game started, it immediately entered a bayonet-like duel.

Because the first game was close to a quadruple-double, special emphasis was placed on Wayne's defense today.

The opponent obviously knew the weakness of the ball-carrying core, and planned to let Wayne in from the beginning and then attack them.

Facing two big insiders who are over 1.9 meters tall, Wayne really didn't score well in the opening game.

However!

Just when the opponent thought there was hope for the game to continue, Wayne started the mid-range shooting king mode.

The opponent's small forward is shorter than him. He has agility and speed, but he is inferior in terms of confrontation.

Wayne's weight of more than 60 kilograms is not to mention outstanding at this height, and it can be regarded as one of the top ranks.

I saw him speed up to the free throw line, pass the first defender, and then pull up on the second defender who came to help.

He can't be called a gibbon. The difference between his wingspan and height is not an astonishing 20 centimeters, but it is still 12 centimeters, which is on the same level as Gang Leader Qiao.

It can be regarded as a golden ratio, because Jordan's body is the strongest body of a shooting guard.

Both in terms of height and body type, he is a perfect No. 2.

His calves are thin, his shoulders are thick, and he is explosive even in confrontations. He has a body built entirely for scoring.

But Wayne is not a defender, he is a striker, and his body should be strong enough. This is why his strength is about the same as his speed.

A strength attribute of 80 points, placed among junior high school students, is completely at the level of an inside player.

Opponents faced with such a shot from him can only sigh with excitement and are powerless to stop it.

Basketball hits through the heart!

As the referee raised his hand sign that the goal was valid, Wayne's female fans started cheering again.

In the last game, Wayne was poisoned and knocked unconscious by Satsuki, which made them worry for a long time.

Tsuchiya also punched hard on the sidelines.

Wayne's mid-range shooting must be so stable, he must have some credit.

This was all earned by him sacrificing his nap to practice hard with Wayne!

He even now has a sense of accomplishment that his stupid boy has finally come to the fore.

Tsuchiya even suggested, "Mr. Shirogane, I think it's okay to continue playing guard?"

Shirogane Genzo pondered for a moment and did not nod immediately.

Teikō's back line is not very abundant, but it is also lacking in forwards.

"No, let's continue to let him play the 3 position. His statistical basketball can strengthen our wing defense. Moreover, even if he does not play point guard, he can still hold the ball. Our tactics do not necessarily have to be initiated from the defenders."

On the court.

Wayne once again dribbled past the defender, and his breakthrough was like a scalpel, which was sure to find the opponent's weakness and kill him with one strike.

The opponent's defense was immediately cut open by him.

Wayne easily avoids entering the penalty area and works near the free throw line.

The opponent's center is tall, but they also sacrifice flexibility in exchange for it, otherwise they would all be Atsushi Murasakibara.

Turn your back and lean back.

Wayne floated and scored the ball again.

His shooting is as steady as an old dog as always, giving people the illusion that he is going to score nine times out of ten.

The strength and arc of the basketball thrown are just right.

Even if he is a good shooter, it is the problem of the basket, not his poor shooting.

This is how the enemy coach gets his feelings now.

Only 4 minutes into the game, he had a premonition that something was not going to happen.

Teikō's outside firepower was particularly fierce today, and any outside line he carefully selected and trained was no match for him.

This is the result of paying too much attention to the penalty area and neglecting the outside.

Moreover, modern basketball tactics are constantly improving and growing.

Twin Towers?

It’s long out of date!

The first half of the game is over.

Teikō led by a full 25 points 65:40.

Wayne and Midorima Shintarō made 9 of 12 shots and 7 of 10 shots respectively.

The former scored 20 points and the latter scored 21 points. The two scored 41 points together, which was more than their opponents combined.

It can be said that the opponent was completely killed.
