Pistons head coach Carter Bennett sat on the bench, not knowing what to say, and the Pistons looked overwhelmed. They didn't think the first quarter would be like this.

The Pistons scored 15 points in the first quarter, which is a relatively normal score, and 15 points in a quarter is 60 points in a game, and in basketball in the early forties, if a team could score 60 points in a game, it was considered above average offensive level.

Considering that there is only 24 seconds of offensive time under the new rules, which makes the team's offense hasty and the success rate of the offense will decrease, in this case, it should be considered a relatively good performance to score 15 points in a quarter.

It can be said that with 15 points in the first quarter, the Pistons also showed their offensive level. In normal times, both head coach Carter Bennett and Pistons players should be happy with this.

However, the Knicks' 27 points in the first quarter made the Pistons unsatisfied. This score from the Knicks means that the Pistons are on the defensive end and have been completely blown out by the Knicks.

If it is placed in the future NBA, scoring 27 points in the first quarter is a more reasonable result, especially after the second offense is changed to 14 seconds, and more than 30 points in a single quarter has become a regular operation for all teams.

However, this is only 1942 after all, and the 27 points in a single quarter is indeed too surprising, under the original basketball rules, the offense is so procrastinating, and it is almost as difficult to score 27 points in a single quarter, which is about the same as the difficulty of scoring 50 points in a quarter of the game now.

And even more important is the 12-point difference!

With a difference of 12 points, four three-pointers can be recovered, and Maddie can earn one more point in 35 seconds. However, in 1942, 12 points was already an insurmountable gap, and even if you were given three quarters, you might not be able to recover 12 points. Especially under the old rules, there is no limit to the time to attack, and if a team has a 12-point lead, it will definitely start to stall for time and try not to attack in order to maintain the 12-point advantage until the end of the game.

At this moment, the first quarter of the game has just ended, and the Pistons have dug a 12-point hole, and many players have already felt that there is no hope of victory, and they are a full 12 points behind, and this game is a loss!

And Carter Bennett, as the head coach of the Pistons, has more on his mind than the player.

"It's all because of that kind of tactic of dribbling and rushing to the basket quickly! This Chen Qiang, how did he come up with such a strange way of playing! Let him turn basketball into a sprint! Carter-Bennett said in his heart.

Carter Bennett doesn't know what words to use to describe the "fast break" tactic, he can only call it "dribbling quickly to the basket", but as a basketball coach, he has long been sensitive to the fact that the Pistons' defense is riddled with holes by the Knicks because of this new tactic used by the Knicks.

"New Yorkers have come up with a new tactic, so what should I do?" Carter-Bennett frowned, and for a moment, he couldn't even think of a way to deal with it.

At the level of the future, basketball coaches in the forties were also a real dish, and the basketball coaches of that era were more inclined to daily training than tactics. Therefore, in basketball in ancient times, tactics were very backward, and the development of tactics was also very backward, and many times the progress of tactics was far from keeping up with the degree of players' research and development of new technologies, which also led to a lot of new basketball techniques, because there was no suitable tactical matching, and it could not play its due effect in the game.

It is precisely because of the slow progress of the basketball system that most basketball coaches prefer to stick to the rules, they are not willing to let players create new tactics, and they are not willing to let players try to use new tactics.

Before "Cardinal" Auerbach, the tactical system of basketball has not changed for decades, and the skills used by players have not changed for decades, and the only improvement is the physical fitness of players, as the physical fitness of basketball players improves, players have become taller, faster, and stronger.

In the future, the NBA will carry out a round of innovation in a new tactical system in about five or six years, for example, in the past five or six years, the Warriors' small-ball style of play can be regarded as the mainstream in the NBA league; Pushing forward another five or six years, the model of the Big Three of the Heat leads the way, and the mainstream tactical system of the NBA also revolves around this multi-giant model; Push forward another five or six years, and the era of the Lakers' OK combination, the duo of super center and super outside line, was the mainstream tactical system at that time......

However, in the first 50 years of basketball's invention, the development of the tactical system was extremely slow, and in that era, if there were no major changes in the rules, the tactical system of basketball would only stand still, and there would be no progress.

This is also the reason why in the United States at that time, basketball could not do baseball and rugby, baseball and rugby were constantly updating and developing the tactical system, only basketball did not change.

At the same time, this is one of the reasons why basketball can't do football, early football, the tactical system is also a lot of changes, the football of the 1932 Olympic Games, and the football of the 1952 Olympic Games, are completely different sports, even if the outbreak of World War II broke out, but football is still making great strides. As for basketball, the basketball game of the 1932 Olympics is basically the same as the basketball game of the 1952 Olympic Games, they are all the same boring, and they are both the kind of scoring of twenty or thirty points in a game.

Early basketball is very backward, and this backwardness is holistic, from players to coaches, from techniques to rules, from tactics to the entire basketball system.

It is also because of this backwardness that Carter Bennett, as the head coach of the Pistons, was overwhelmed when he used a new tactic in the face of the Knicks, and he didn't even have the direction of tactical adjustment.

……

Meanwhile, at the Ulin Coliseum in Washington, a game was underway for the Washington Capitol team, who was facing the Baltimore Bullets.

Cardinal Arnold Auerbach looked at his players and encouraged: "You are doing a good job, after all, we are using a new tactic, it is normal to make mistakes, you can perform like this, it has been beyond my expectations." And we're in the lead right now, and our opponents can't seem to find a way to deal with a quick break! ”

At this time, the "Cardinal" Auerbach also began to use the tactics of rapid breakthrough.

The first to use the fast-break tactic in history was Auerbach in 1947, and now Auerbach is the head coach of the Washington Capitol team, leading the team to play in the professional league, so he naturally wants to perform well, so he brought the fast-break tactic to his own team.

It's just that Auerbach in 1942 definitely doesn't have the same understanding of fast break tactics as Auerbach in 1947 in history, so the fast break tactics he comes up with now are not so powerful, and there are even too many details that need to be improved.

It can be said that the current Auerbach is still groping for a rapid breakthrough tactical system, and the set of tactics with a winning rate of more than 80% in 1947 was still in the primitive stage in 1942.

But even so, Congress in Washington was still ahead of the Baltimore Bullets.

The Washington Congress is a newly formed team, and if it weren't for the fact that owner Miguel Yulin intends to use basketball to subsidize the income of the Yulin Coliseum, there may not be such a team at all.

The Baltimore Bullets used to play in the ABL League, although the ABL League is chaotic in management and the team is very mobile, but it is also a professional basketball league, and the team that can play the professional basketball league is not weak, no matter how weak it is, it can't beat the grass platform team that has just been formed in the Washington Congress.

At this time, Auerbach was still somewhat complacent about the new tactics he had created. As a young coach in his twenties, creating a new tactic that works well to keep the Baltimore Bullets at bay is enough to make Auerbach proud.

"Cardinal" Auerbach held the small notebook in his hand, and was recording every time the Washington Congress used the rapid breakthrough tactics, planning to go back to summarize the tactics, and then improve the rapid breakthrough tactics, he did not know that in New York, a few hundred miles away, Chen Qiang had already perfected the rapid breakthrough and should have it in actual combat.

……

Madison Square Garden, the game between the Knicks and the Pistons came to the second quarter, and the pace of the game was similar to the first quarter, the Pistons used their excellent individual ability to score, and the Knicks' fast break and breakthrough tactics can still easily tear apart the Pistons' defense.

Chen Qiang still did not play, and he planned to give the players more opportunities to familiarize themselves with the tactics. As the game progressed, the Knicks became more and more proficient in the use of fast breaks, and the cooperation of breaking through balls became more and more tacit.

Chen Qiang thought that in the face of a new tactic, Pistons head coach Carter Bennett would respond in a very short time, after all, the Pistons in this era are the champion team in the NBL league and can be regarded as one of the strongest professional basketball teams in the world, but Chen Qiang obviously overestimated Carter Bennett's ability and overestimated the ability of basketball coaches in this era. Until halfway through the second quarter, Carter Bennett still didn't make any tactical adjustments.

In the future, this is simply not going to happen, in the middle of the game, the opponent makes a tactical change, even if it is just two or three goals in a row with the new tactic, the coach will change the style of play, such as calling a timeout to tell the players, or making substitutions.

And now, the Knicks' new tactics have beaten the Pistons for a quarter and a half, but Pistons head coach Carter Bennett has not made the slightest move. Even if you don't know how to deal with it, at least try to make tactical adjustments in case it works!

Faced with this situation, Chen Qiang didn't know whether to be happy or depressed.

Happily, if the head coach of the Pistons does not make adjustments and continues to play like this, the game will definitely be lost, and the Knicks will definitely win the game.

And the frustration is that basketball in the forties is so backward, even if it is as strong as the Pistons, obviously being pressed to the ground and rubbing, still do not know how to change, this is no longer a problem of a player or a coach, such a basketball game, it is not enough to modify the rules, but also needs a complete revolution!

In the second half of the second quarter, the players' fitness had begun to drop significantly, and their running was noticeably less aggressive at this time. The defender is okay to say, as long as they stand in a good position, after all, the defender's movement range and distance are much smaller than the attacker's, but the attacker is different, they must move to open up space and create offensive opportunities.

At this stage, there was a brief stagnation in the offense of both sides, and there was a noticeable decline in offensive efficiency.

However, the decline in offensive efficiency of the two sides is not the same, the Knicks have a problem with the offensive rhythm, which is obviously not as smooth as before, and the shooting rate has also decreased; The Pistons, on the other hand, received three offensive three-second violations in just three minutes.

The physical exertion caused the Pistons to seriously reduce their mobility, which also caused the Pistons players to stay in the three-second zone for longer periods of time when they were offensive, which eventually caused the three-second offense violation.

The Pistons, an old professional team, are certainly not as adaptable to the new rules as a newly formed team like the Knicks, and the Pistons also use the original basketball tactics under the old rules.

……

In the stands, Dolph Seeyes, the star center at DeWitt Clinton Middle School, frowned.

"The rule of attacking the three-second violation has been expanded in the three-second zone, which does limit the role of the center in the offense, as before, standing near the basket and waiting for the ball, it is no longer possible, once the center gets the ball, there can be no hesitation, and the attack must be launched immediately. The requirements for the center forward are also higher! ”

Dolph Seeers has realized that if the center continues to play like before, he may end up being a goalkeeper who defends the basket, becomes ineffective when attacking, and even gives the ball to the opponent for three seconds of attack.

"With this new rule, the center has to change." Dolph Shayers said in his heart.

However, Dolph Seeers is only a middle school student, and although he knows that the center must change, with his understanding of basketball, he does not know where to change!
