Chapter 19: Difficult Passing Tactics
On the second day of the preseason training camp, the Spurs were still practicing their physical fitness in the morning. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the afternoon, after eating a nutritious meal, Popovich gathered all the players and prepared to start tactical training.
After winning the championship in 2007, the Spurs have played soy sauce in the playoffs for four consecutive seasons, either easily killed by the Lakers, or blocked by the Mavericks, the sworn enemy of the same state, and even the Grizzlies last season.
Last season's blackout was actually a necessary pain in the transition, but the first place in the regular season made Popovich decide to continue the team's transformation.
In the locker room, Popovich took a large tactical board and began to explain the team's offensive tactics.
"The first set of offensive tactics, the point guard moves to the side with the ball......" Popovich wrote and drew on the strategy board, looking up at the reactions of all the players from time to time, Anxi felt as if he was back in his student days again.
"The big man inside receives a pass from the point guard and passes it directly to the defender who is ambushed on the other side, and then launches the offensive ......"
"The second set of offensive tactics is that the point guard runs to one of the two wing players with the ball, and then the wing player arcs out in the direction of the penalty area to the top of the arc to launch the rest of the offensive tactics, and the third set of offensive tactics is a blocking attack on the weak side, where the ball handler passes the ball to a wing player in front of him, and then the arc goes around to the other side, and the wing player passes the ball to the big man near the top of the arc, and then the big man passes the ball to the point guard to reorganize the offense or shoot the ......"
Three sets of offensive tactics can derive countless offensive routines, which can be regarded as Popovich's hard work in the past two years.
The English name of this set of tactics is "motion-offense", which is generally translated into Chinese as blocking and cutting offense, which literally means cutting in after blocking and dismantling, so the wing players in this set of tactics are also players in Anxi's position, and the role is still quite large.
However, Anxi was a little stunned when he saw this series of tactics, the wing players held the ball and cut out?
Without waiting for Anxi to come up with a solution, Popovich announced the start of tactical training.
Anxi was placed on the bench alongside Gary Neal, Cory Joseph, Kawhi Leonard and Thiago Split, against Tony Parker, Manuginobili, Richard Jefferson, Danny Green and Tim Duncan.
Tactical training begins, with the main first team attacking first and the substitute team defending.
Anxi faced Danny Green, because of the presence of Tim Duncan, the first ball, the main team used the third offensive routine.
Once Tony Parker had advanced to the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Manuginobili and then curved past Richard Jefferson to the other side.
This is the first step, and at this time it has nothing to do with Anxi on the defensive end.
Then, Danny Green suddenly stepped up and made a cross-screen with Tim Duncan, so that Anxi suddenly became Tim Duncan's defender.
And that's not all, Tim Duncan continued to go up after the cross screen, and he made another cross screen with Tony Parker, and at the same time, through this screen, he also attracted the help of Kawhi Leonard, and almost instantaneously, the inside of the bench team was full of people.
Previously, the cross-cover of Danny Green and Tim Duncan caused substitute center forward Thiago Split to leave the penalty area, and in this way, the middle of the box was wide open.
Manuginobili passed the ball to Tony Parker, and Gary Niel, who was originally defending Manuginobili, had to choose to go up, and just like that, the bench defense was torn apart at once.
Several members of the main team are veterans of the Spurs, and they are also very skilled in the use of this set of tactics, Tony Parker's cut makes Manuginobili's outside line empty, and the inside line is crowded, and the next offensive options are very simple.
Tony Parker's return pass allowed Manu Ginobili to get a chance to open the outside line, and Manu naturally did not waste the opportunity, and the long-distance two-point shot was successfully hit!
"Stop!" Popovich called a stop, Popovich was quite satisfied with the offensive drill in this round, he focused on praising Tim Duncan and Danny Green's running in this round, and then let the players on the court switch offense and defense, the bench team switched offense, and the main team switched to defense.
Corey Joseph dribbled to the frontcourt, and a little overwhelmed, he made a two-to-two gesture, which meant that he was going to play the two-in-one tactic.
Anxi's commute was immediately bitter, the No. 2 tactic, this is the tactic that most needs the flank players to hold the ball, overall, the three sets of tactics are indeed the No. 2 tactics are the simplest, the least routines, but this set of tactics is a tactic that requires wing players and defenders to take the ball and cut in constantly, and then the remaining players continue to arc out, which is a test for Anxi.
As soon as Corey Joseph came up, he ran to Anxi with the ball, and Anxi was even more bitter, which meant that he wanted to let himself cut in the second!
Sure enough, Cory Joseph is about to run to Anxi's side!
At this moment, there was a sudden roar from the sidelines: "Ann! What are you doing!
An Xi reacted at this time, at this time, he should cut out in an arc, and by the way, try to take away the defense of the inside line.
But here's the problem, Anxi was yelled at by Popovich when he cut out, the main team already knew Anxi's movements, how could it be taken away by Anxi to defend?
So Anxi, who was bitter, quickly received a pass from Corey Joseph at the top of the arc, and he needed to cut in.
Crappy with the ball, An Xi had to rush into the inside line hard, against Danny Green's defense, and dropped the ball without dribbling a few steps, so there was another roar on the sidelines: "What's the matter with you, can't you dribble the ball? If you are not lucky, you will be slower, won't you?"
A little slower? An Xi suddenly realized that this set of tactics does not care about speed, as long as the players can cut in.
So, Anxi, who had come again, held the ball again and cut in, this time his speed slowed down, but what he didn't expect was that several old fritters of the main team exchanged glances with each other, and then when Anxi slowly burst into the penalty area, they suddenly formed a close encirclement of Anxi...... It should be said that it fell again......
"Ann! You're so slow! I slowed you down, not so slow!"
Anxi was helpless, and Popovich was also angry, but there was no way, Anxi's dribbling was indeed very lame, but even if it was lame, he had to practice.
So next, the substitute team continued to practice three sets of offensive routines, and Anxi was also yelled at by Popovich, and Anxi spent the whole afternoon in torment.
