Mike. Shashewski is a coach who pays a lot of attention to outside offense, and it can be seen from the center position in this men's basketball World Championships that he only brought Howard, who is better at defense. This year, the Blues also have only one true center, Zobeck, who is simply a miniature version of Howard.

He attaches great importance to the technical ability of outside players, especially three-point shooting, especially in the era when many college teams use regional defense more frequently, accurate mid-range shooting has become an important magic weapon to crack this defensive tactic. Fresh from being drafted by the Orlando Magic with the 11th pick, Redick, Duke's all-time leading scorer, is not to mention. Now the team's Paulus, Nelson, and Sun Yi are all outside players with strong long-range shooting ability, and even power forward McRoberts can occasionally pull out to shoot, and Henderson's mid-range shooting is very distinctive, and his two-point shot will be a useful addition.

Unlike many NCAA coaches who are obsessed with the evolution of pick-and-roll combinations, Coach K's offensive tactics are more concise. Usually the core with strong ball-holding ability to play alone initiates the blocking and dismantling tactics, after attracting the opponent's defense, according to the situation or passing, but this tactic has very high requirements for the player's individual ability. Once you have the right people to bring out the power of this tactic, it will at least be very useful in the college arena. The most classic example is having Grant. The Blue Devils, an all-around player like Hill, won the NCAA championship in '91 and '92 in a row. At that time, Hill was almost omnipotent on the college field, and he was hailed as Jordan's successor, and if he hadn't suffered a serious injury, his achievements would definitely not be low. The Blues, who won their third NCAA title in 2001, are star-studded, but the soul of the team is not the offensively and defensively Shaun. Battier, nor is Carlos, the inner fulcrum. Boozer, but the team's shooting guard Jay. Williams. The '02 NBA Draft, who was second only to Chinese giant Yao Ming, averaged 21.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 6.1 assists in his sophomore season. You know, the team's main point guard, Chris. Dujon averages just 4.5 assists per game. It's a pity that this amazing talent still fell under the famous Duke curse, because of an accidental car accident gradually faded out of people's sight.

Another negative example proves that if the core players are not capable enough, this style of play is not as good as some tactics that emphasize the whole as a whole. For example, last year's Blue Devils team with Redick as the core, although he can be said to be the best outside shooter in NCAA history, but his relatively average athleticism and ball-handling offensive level make him often unable to open the situation in the face of tough and orderly defensive teams, and last season's stop in the round of 16 is the best example.

In another time and space, the coaching staff at Duke University took a rare look away and invited Jon. Shayer and Lance. Thomas. It turned out that Shayer could only be regarded as a good player in the NCAA arena, and Thomas, who had high expectations, could not adapt to the intensity of the college game at all, and the former high school genius was reduced to a spectator on the bench. Limited by the ability of the players, Coach K led the team to only play a 22-11 record in the regular season, and if it weren't for the help of many media friends, he wouldn't even be able to get to the top 64 in the country. Even so, the Blue Devils were not able to be ashamed and were eliminated in the first round.

Speaking of which, many book friends must question that Lao K Kong has such a big name, and the level of leading the team is like this! Indeed, if you want to give him a bunch of garbage players, it is estimated that he will be a little better than the average coach. Because his tactics are relatively simple and rely too much on the individual abilities of the players. However, if he has a good hand, it is definitely better than the vast majority of coaches play. No matter how many super strong players there are in the team, he can knead these heavenly pride into a whole and play their true level without compromise. Some coaches are good at leading weak teams, and some are born giants.

Due to the appearance of Sun Yi in this time and space, Coach K locked his eyes on this sudden Chinese player early. After two years of follow-up inspection, all members of the coaching staff are confident in this choice.

Judging from the team's joint practice a few days ago, this Chinese guy is very adaptable to this set of offensive tactics, although he is still a little immature in the choice after the breakthrough, everyone believes that he will get better and better.

Although so far, the entire Blue Devils team's offensive run-in is good, but this is just training, and it has not been tested by real battles, and no one dares to say whether the Chinese player is the person the Blue Devils have been waiting for.

Coach K, who led the Dream Seven team to the runner-up in the World Championships this year, was praised by the American media, but he knew in his heart that other rankings other than the championship were meaningless to American basketball. There will be many journalists who dream of becoming famous overnight, and they have already secretly pointed their guns at themselves, and when there is a problem with the results of the Blue Devils, they will immediately press the launch button. Therefore, this veteran coach who has been famous in the American basketball industry for 20 years does not dare to put all his bets on the Chinese guy, and he needs a plan to prevent accidents.

Josh. McRoberts, a 2.08-meter white power forward, has been highly valued by the old coach K since he entered the Blue Devils. This typical team player, who can give up everything for the sake of the team's victory, made him the obvious choice for the captain of the team in his sophomore year.

In the NCAA arena full of talents, McRoberts's interior ability can only be regarded as an upper-mid-level level, and he is better at mid-range projection and high-post strategy. His passing IQ and vision are definitely rare among big players.

Using such a player as the implementer of backup tactics is exactly what the team needs to focus on at the moment. A common high-post tactic requires players on the inside and outside to switch positions frequently to find gaps in the opponent's defense. For example, an interior player can be promoted to provide an off-ball cover for an outside player's air cut, or to make a wall for a teammate who runs without the ball, and help the team's shooter get a good shot after getting rid of the defense, etc. It sounds and seems very simple, but when it is actually applied to the field, you will find that many players are completely instinctive and run, and no matter how Coach Woy explains in these few days of training, there will always be some ridiculous situations. Like two players because of the lack of tacit understanding, the scene of collision in the run often happens.

Although Sun Yi was not so embarrassed, he was not much better. In this set of high-post tactics, his open cut is arguably the best on the team, and his natural scoring sense always allows him to find the most dangerous running routes. However, in high school, he was used to attacking with the ball, but he was very bad at running without the ball.

No, after today's training, Coach Woy sent him an edited video to his mailbox, asking him to stop practicing at night and go back to the dormitory to study hard.
