Chapter 14 Tactical Drills

UCLA Bruins head coach Jim? Harrick has been annoyed lately because he feels his position is threatened, and his own admired assistant coach George? Krent actually carried him behind his back with John? Wooden got involved, he originally planned that he would enter the NBA if he could achieve success with the Bruins, and then he would hand over the head coach position to George, but he didn't expect that now it seems that he is in danger of losing his position. Jim? Harrick thinks it's all because of the Chinese guy.

The Pacific 10 League game is about to begin, and the Bruins are actively preparing for it. Liu Han, who has proven himself in front of most teammates and coaches with his excellent projection ability and tough defensive attitude, has made almost all teammates feel that the team should strengthen the practice of three-point shooting tactics and consider Liu Han's position on the court. The veteran players who have experienced many games are well aware of the importance of Liu Han on the field, and if there is such a stable marksman in the attack, he can effectively open up space, which is very important for both the center and the player who breaks through with the ball. In the positional attack, ten big men are crammed into one half, and if you can't open up the space, then the breakthrough and center tactics will be greatly limited. In defense, Liu Han, who has a tough attitude and excellent endurance, may not be able to completely freeze the opponent's main attacker, but it can definitely play a great limiting role. But what all the players didn't expect was that the head coach of the team had been ignoring Liu Han.

"Jim, I think you should consider Liu Han's role, he showed a good form and attitude in training, and the players also recognized him, I think if the team adds such a stable three-point point, it can definitely make a breakthrough in the round of 64." George in charge of training vs. Jim? Harrick suggested.

"George, please pay attention to your attitude, I'm the head coach of the team, not anyone else, so please respect my job. And do you think I'm ignoring that Chinese kid? I've been thinking about it, since he's so important, can he be used as a secret weapon, don't let him play in normal games. "Jim? Harrick said in what seemed to be a high-sounding voice.

"But if Han is not involved in the team's tactical drills, in case of an important game, it may make the whole team mess up."

"I didn't say I wouldn't let him be involved in the team's tactical drills, but I don't allow any random person to disrupt my team's overall strategy." Jim? Harrick shook his hand away.

George? Krent looked at the departing head coach Jim? Harrick was a little angry, he felt that Jim was a little too stubborn, which would affect his correct judgment in the future. George clenched his fists tightly, and he decided to hide it from Jim.

"Okay boys, let's gather together, and I'll say a few words." George decided to ignore Jim's arrangement and give the team a few sets of three-point tactics suitable for Liu Han.

American college players are basically mature when they enter college, and college basketball coaches are more about letting these enthusiastic young people understand the importance of tactics and allowing them to learn basic reading tactics. Therefore, George, the assistant coach who can become an NCAA strong team and is responsible for daily training, is no worse than the average person's tactical level.

"Boys, Han has been on the team for a long time, but we haven't officially welcomed him yet, so I don't think anyone of you wouldn't welcome a shooting 'machine', right?"

"Mr. Krent, I think I'll be confident that I'll be in contention for this year's assist title when Han joins." The main point guard Teyus welcomed Liu Han as the captain of the team.

"You're right, George, with Han joining, after those Trojan cubs have seen Han's shots, they won't dare to trap me unscrupulously if I break through." Obonno also welcomed Liu Han as the team's number one star, and in Los Angeles, the UCLA Bruins and USC (University of Southern California) Trojans are bitter rivals, and the two schools are looking to dominate each other in various competitions.

"Okay boys, it seems that you all like Han, so let's start a new tactical drill."

George has been thinking about Liu Han since he confirmed that he can join UCLA, and he hopes that Liu Han's ability can be maximized. Because Liu Han did not receive professional tactical training, and the time to join was too short, the tactics arranged by George simplified the complex running position as much as possible. In the offense, when the point guard or the second or third player dribbles the ball, the center or the fourth player is arranged to cover, Liu Han runs to the weak side, and the player with the ball relies on the cover to break through, at this time Liu Han runs from the bottom line to the bottom corner of the direction of the player with the ball to prepare to receive the ball, and the center or the player at the fourth position quickly sinks into the bottom line to Liu Han to be responsible for the cover, which can effectively delay the speed of the defender who is responsible for defending Liu Han, and if the defender chooses to change the defense, the player with the team will form a dislocation. And the players who are responsible for Liu Han's defense will also form a misalignment, and the tactics will have a high success rate. When defending, arrange Liu Han to defend the opposing player alone, do not change the defense, and give full play to Liu Han's ability to hide candy.

After explaining a few simple tactics, George asked the team to start a new tactical drill.

At the beginning, the team made various mistakes, and George found that when he placed Liu Han on the bench side, he replaced the point guard Hudson? White always doesn't pass the ball well, or passes too slowly, and the tactics don't play at all. After thinking about it, George arranged Liu Han on the main side, and he put James, who originally played the fourth position on the main side? Carl was placed on the bench side, and Obonor, who was in excellent physical condition and fast enough, was placed in the No. 4 position, and Liu Han was responsible for playing the No. 3 small forward position, so that although the average height of the team's main team has decreased, the speed has increased.

In the following tactical exercises, the main side relied on successful tactics to defeat the substitutes who were already slightly weaker.

Liu Han also began to think slowly during training, he just seemed a little "naïve" because he didn't go through the world, not really couldn't think. Liu Han found that his teammates were conscious every time they ran, their running position always echoed the player with the ball, and everyone was ready to receive the ball when they ran, and this ability to clearly judge the form on the field in the fast run made him envious. Liu Han has not yet developed this habit, and this ability to think and analyze in the running position can only be formed after long-term training and competition.

Liu Han gave full play to his ability to shoot amazingly and run quickly in training, and although his running position was still a little dull, he still hit many three-pointers with his amazing touch.

The main point guard Teyus is a little crazy about Liu Han's envy, this guy can shoot when he catches the ball, and he can hit it, Teyus is thinking, if he also has this kind of anti-heaven feeling, it is estimated that he can also kill into the small green house.

The team began to gradually integrate in the new tactical exercises, and the addition of Liu Han gave hope to some of the senior players, and the members of the NCAA championship team will add a lot of points to the NBA draft or other work.

After a day of training, Liu Han was still immersed in thinking about the team's tactics on the way home, and he hoped to repay these people who cared about him with a wonderful performance on the field. Liu Han grew up in discrimination since he was a child, and he has never had this feeling of numbness all over his body after shooting and hitting, which makes him feel that basketball, just like the artichoke rubbing made by his grandmother, is a good thing.
