Loyola University's individual strength and talent may really be far inferior to Marquard's Wade-led University.

But this team is very technically solid under the tutelage of former UCLA head coach Larry Farmer.

Individual player skills, such as dribbling, passing, shooting, defending, etc.

The team cooperates with each other like blocking, covering, and running team skills and tactics, which are very proficient.

Especially the team's counter-running tactics, Chen Xiao sitting on the bench on the sidelines and the substitute from Marquette University were a little dumbfounded.

It may seem ridiculous to say, but Chen Xiao saw the shadow of Jay Williams of the Kings in the body of Loyola's little star point guard David Bailly, and it was also an offensive enhanced version.

When looking at the white center Turkovic, Chen Xiao always felt that he was very much like Divac.

Chen Xiao is very fond of watching the king's game.

According to Rogo, the players in the Kings team are all talents and play beautifully, and the Kings' games are very valuable for learning and reference.

Chen Xiao's current understanding of the various tactical systems of basketball is very average, but he is like Princeton's tactical system.

Recently, in the American basketball world, the Princeton tactical system has indeed been very popular.

"This is the Princeton system?"

Chen Xiao is not very convinced.

"No, it's a UCLA air cut."

Chen Xiao looked at the team's assistant coach Tim Barkley standing next to him in confusion.

He knew the Princeton tactical system, but as for the UCLA air cut, he didn't.

"The counter-run tactics and pick-and-roll tactics in the Princeton Tactical System have borrowed a lot from UCLA air cuts, and the two come from the same source, and now the assistant coach of the Kings and the founder of the Princeton Tactical System, Pete Carell, is the assistant coach of John Wooden, the legendary head coach who invented the UCLA air cut tactic for Bill Wharton, and Larry Farmer, who is now coaching Loyola University, was Bill Wharton's teammate at the time, and Bill Wharton executed the outside core of the UCLA air cut tactic together."

“……”

After Tim Barkley relieved Chen Xiao's doubts like a teacher, Chen Xiao was a little dumbfounded.

Tim Barkley, on the other hand, smiled disapprovingly.

It is the task of the whole team to supplement Chen Xiao with all kinds of basketball knowledge all the time.

Chen Xiao naturally didn't notice the smile in Tim Barkley's eyes, he was chewing on Tim Barkley's words that were a little explosive just now.

John Wooden, Bill Wharton, Princeton Tactical System, UCLA Air Cut......

Is there such a connection between these powerful nouns that he has heard of before?

John Wood created the UCLA aircut tactic for Bill Wharton.

The founder of Princeton's tactical system was an assistant coach to then-UCLA head coach John Wooden.

Larry Farmer, now head coach at Loyola University, was the teammate who played with Bill Wharton at the time on the UCLA Air Cut.

John Wooden is at the center of this string of nouns......

Previously, for Chen Xiao, John Wooden was just a personal name, a name that is often heard in the NCAA.

Now, he has a deeper understanding of the name.

Very little, not much, really just a little understanding.

But Chen Xiao still felt the old man's B anger coming to his face.

Just look at the irrepressible respect and adoration on Tim Barkley's face when he speaks of John Wooden.

"UCLA air cutting is just one of the offensive systems created by John Wooden at UCLA, the UCLA offensive system created by John Wooden is called the 'source of all laws' by the American basketball community, and most of the offensive tactical systems used in the NBA and NCAA are derived from the UCLA offensive system created by John Wooden."

"Awesome ......"

The source of all laws in the basketball offensive world?

Awesome, this old man is really amazing!

Chen Xiao felt that his strange knowledge had increased again.

"It turns out that he is the apprentice of old man John Wooden......"

Chen Xiao looked at Larry Farmer, who was standing in front of the bench at Loyola University, and his eyes were a little different.

No wonder Marquette University played so hard at the beginning of this game.

It turned out that he had met the master of the legend.

Now, Marquette University on the pitch is really uncomfortable beaten by Loyola University.

Loyola University has such an attack, and Marquette University has a hard time defending.

Marquette University has no interior defensive core.

The main center, Scott Merritt, is a rather mediocre average center with a bit of everything, and looks like a tall, dull piece of wood under Loyola's nimble UCLA air-cutting tactics.

Wade and Ron Howard's defense is good, but the key point is that David Bailly doesn't intend to go head-to-head with them.

David Bailly used the blocking and passing of tall teammates, kept running, kept cutting in the air, Wade and Ron Howard were really watching behind them, gritting their teeth and helpless.

Anyway, Loyola University's offense, Marquette University is a little helpless.

On the other hand, Marquard's offense, when it comes to Loyola's defense, is a little uncomfortable.

It's not that Loyola University is so clever defensively, it's not at all smart, it's the NCAA's most common 23-game defense.

The NCAA allows three seconds of defense, which means that the NCAA allows unlimited joint defense.

With the tall stature of Loyola University defenders, the 23 joint defense is out, and in the absence of a strong center at Marquette University, if Marquette University's shot is not open, it is really uncomfortable.

At the beginning of the game, except for Wade, Marquette didn't shoot at the university.

It should be said that except for Wade, the other players on the court at Marquette University are not so consistent in shooting.

Both Henry and Ron Howard's offensive characteristics are well-rounded and capable of handling the ball.

When it comes down to shooting, neither of them is considered a shooter.

In this game, Marquette University head coach Tom Crane put all three outside players who can hold the ball on the court in order to seek stability.

The final result was that Wade, who could hold the ball the most, became a shooter who broke the opponent's defense, do you say this game was awkward?

That's pretty awkward!

Chen Xiao off the field looked at the constipation-like uncomfortable look on Wade's face on the field and felt funny.

I thought this match between Marquette University and Loyola University was a one-sided match, who would have thought that it would play like this?

Wade and Marquette University players have such good individual abilities and talents, and they were directly suffocated by Loyola University's tactics.

In this game, Chen Xiao realized the strength of NCAA coaches for the first time.

Players as strong as Wade and Rogo who should be able to defy the NCAA can be held back like this.

"Perhaps, strong individual ability doesn't solve all problems in the NCAA."

Chen Xiao muttered to himself, the strange basketball is just +1 again.

While seeing Chen Xiao's appearance, Tim Barkley was very happy.

He likes this kind of player who likes to think.

In fact, after the game started, when Marquette University had problems both offensively and defensively, Tom Creon, as the head coach, discovered the source of the problem.

After making sure that the team was indeed in trouble because of the wrong tactics and not because of the players' poor personal form, after four minutes of the first quarter, Marquette University head coach Tom Crane called the first timeout of the game.

At this point, the score on the pitch was 12-6.

Marquette University played just four minutes and fell six points behind at home, a start that does not bode well for Marquette University who want to make a difference this season.

It's almost like a slap in the head.

Loyola University is not a strong team in the United States.

But tonight's Loyola University, their solidarity and excellent tactical literacy kicked Marquette University hard.

Fortunately, it's only now the start of the season, and Marquette University has been testing the squad for the season.

The start of this game was so embarrassing, but it was not without gains.

At the very least, for Tom Creon, Wade, Ron Howard, and Henry, the three strongest players on the perimeter of the team cannot be on the court at the same time in the future.

The offensive characteristics of the trio are too homogeneous.

The team's starting lineup in the future needs at least two players who can shoot consistently.

The team's two interior players, Merritt and Ennamarca, are lackluster offensively.

If there's only one consistent shooting spot from the outside, that's really going to tire Wade's rhythm.

Wade is the strongest player on the team and will definitely not change.

And Ron Howard, the team's tallest perimeter player and the team's second-best defensive player, is also unlikely to be taken from the starting lineup.

In this case, Marquette's three outside players can change, and the only one who must change is the team's big brother, Cowdel Henry.

Now that Marquette University has Wade and Ron Howard, both of whom can pass and defend, Henry's role in staying on the court is not so great.

The offensive ball possession has been greatly reduced, and he cannot be a goalscorer, and the defense is leaky, and the 1.78,72kg Caudle Henry is in an awkward position on the court.

So, after Tom Crane called a timeout, these starters from Marquette University came off the pitch, although they didn't look good, but the worst one was Henry.

As the team's main control over the past three seasons, Coddell Henry still has a sense of tactics.

"A little bit, a little bit over."

Kaudel Henry took the towel handed over by Chen Xiao a little depressed and sat down next to Chen Xiao.

If you are going to lose the team's starting game in the first game, can you not be depressed?

Not to mention Henry, the other Marquette players did not expect that Henry, as the team's big brother, would be incompatible with Wade and Ron Howard, the two new outside leaders of the team.

Caudle Henry is usually a rather cheerful big brother in the team, and he is a very good person.

So seeing that Coddell Henry was about to lose his starting position in the team, no one had a look of schadenfreude on their faces.

Still, Chen Xiao's afterglow caught a glimpse of the anticipation that flashed in Travis Diner's eyes.

Among the remaining guard players in the team now, he and Chen Xiao have stable shooting ability.

He's good at three-pointers.

Chen Xiao excels in the middle distance.

He can be a shooter from beyond the three-point line to open up space for Wade.

Chen Xiao is good at running and getting rid of it, disrupting Wade's defense through his own movement and mid-distance.

He has more advantages compared with Chen Xiao, such as ball control, such as passing.

But these advantages, it doesn't matter now, the team doesn't need him now.

Now that the team has Wade and Ron Howard, the team's third perimeter needs someone who can pull away from the defense.

And both he and Chen Xiao can pull off the defense.

It's just that the characteristics of pulling away from the defense are different.

It's up to the manager to choose.

Coach Tom Creon is a very smart manager, and in both ways, will definitely give it a try.

In other words, he and Chen Xiao have the opportunity to compete for the starter that Henry has conceded!

I thought I was going to sit on the bench for a season this season, but I didn't expect that there would be a chance to start soon.

Not to mention Diner, Chen Xiao was actually very excited in his heart.

After the pause, Tom Creon kept talking about tactics, and everyone else was listening carefully, Chen Xiao and Dina were also listening carefully, but the two would 'exchange fire' from time to time.

Don't get me wrong, it's not malicious, it's a well-intentioned competition, Chen Xiao and Dina have a good relationship.

"Who will Mr. Kerry choose first?"

"It has to be me!" x2

didn't let Chen Xiao and Travis Dina wait long, Tom Creon rearranged the tactics.

"Chen, wait a minute, when you go up, use your speed and explosiveness to get rid of it, intersperse the running position, and make more connections for Dwyane and Ron to open up the competition space."

When the dust settled, Tom Creon's priority was Chen Xiao.

Dina was a little disappointed.

Although going to Chen Xiao first does not mean that he has no chance, it also shows that in the coach's heart, Chen Xiao is indeed more valued.

In fact, for the starting position given up by Marquette University, it is definitely not only Chen Xiao and Dina who are most looking forward to now.

Loyola University on the other side.

When they saw that it was Chen Xiao who replaced Caudle Henry on Marquard's side, the look on everyone's face at Loyola University was more excited than Chen Xiao's.

"David, we made it!"

My teammates are really excited.

David Bailly was also excited.

"Yes, we succeeded!"

David Bailly clenched his fists and couldn't hide his excitement as he looked at the No. 11 Marquette University not far away, the traffic baby who was about to be opened by himself
