It's not that Iverson's skills don't support the Princeton system, after all, this tactical system can be said to be quite low in terms of player requirements......

What really restricts Iverson is his character!

It can be said that in order for Iverson to integrate into the Princeton system, the first thing to do is to change Iverson's character!

Is this possible? Iverson wasn't the kind of three-year-old with an undefined personality, he was now an eighteen-year-old adult, and Richard didn't have the confidence to influence this unruly little man.

In addition to Iverson's incompatibility with the Princeton system, Big Ben is also not a good fit for the Princeton system, mainly because he doesn't have a basket......

In this way, the Princeton system is definitely not suitable for the current lineup, unless Richard is crazy and willing to bury Iverson and Big Ben completely and not give them any tactical position......

In fact, Richard's idea now is to make Iverson the starting point of the team's attack.

“Ai-cut？！ No......" Richard pondered......

This tactic named after Iverson, translated into Chinese, is called Iverson's air cut tactic, which must be clear to fans, and it is Iverson's exclusive tactic when he was with the 76ers.

"Double-horned tactics? No, the team doesn't have a player like Anthony to partner Iverson......" Richard quickly dismissed another idea.

This two-horn tactic is Iverson's tactic when he partnered with Anthony with the Nuggets, but because there is no offensive kaleidoscope like Anthony on the team, this tactic is not very suitable.

If these two tactics are used, they can be used together, but if they really want to play like this, then the final result may be that Iverson himself took off, and then Big Ben and Miller still can't escape the fate of losing the draft......

And Richard doesn't think these two tactics will necessarily help them win future tournaments.

"Come on, let's wait until October to see how it goes, I can't think of a good way to ...... now" Richard, who had been insomnia for nearly a week for tactical reasons, finally decided to put this matter aside for the time being, and waited for the training camp in October.

……

In the blink of an eye, the October that Richard was looking forward to had arrived!

The content of the training camp is almost the same, and Richard, because of his years of experience as a teaching assistant, is very handy and has not encountered any trouble.

What really troubled him was the tactical problem!

After the tactics he had envisioned in September and the team trained them all, Richard found that the results were quite unsatisfactory.

For a while, Richard was also a little panicked, and he suddenly found that it seemed that the coach's job was not as simple as he thought!

Once upon a time, Richard thought that he had mastered so many tactical systems that he could definitely create an invincible army, but now it seems that his own ideas are really a little too naïve.

Admittedly, even if they don't use any tactics, with Iverson alone, Richard feels that their results this season will not be bad, and they will be able to maintain the level of last season's elite quarterfinals......

But if the squad under his hand can't win the championship, even if he reaches the semifinals, Richard will not be satisfied.

……

"Lee, are you really going to play a warm-up game against that Virginia Union University?" Old Philip asked Richard with a bitter look.

Richard nodded, this matter has already been decided, he exchanged a warm-up game for a big book, no matter how you look at it, it is not a loss......

"Okay, but we're not going to lose......"

"It would be a shame in our history to lose, we've never lost to a team in the second division......

"Well, we haven't played against a team at the level of the Second Division......"

Old Philip chattered a lot, but he did have good intentions.

"Philip, don't worry, don't underestimate our group of sub-players, they will surprise you!"

……

McKay Center, Purdue University's arena.

The first game of the new season, although it was just a warm-up game, and the opponent was Virginia United, which no one had heard of at all, but relying on the golden sign of the boilermaker, the scene was still crowded, and the more than 14,000 seats were almost all filled.

Several newcomers were playing on this occasion for the first time, and they were inevitably a little nervous......

"Guys, take it easy, it's just a League 2 team, and this is the best warm-up target I've found for you!"

"I don't think you're going to disgrace me, are you?" Richard said with a smile.

"Absolutely not, such a garbage school team, I can blow them up alone!" Big Ben was in a very high mood and said loudly.

Richard was stunned, the garbage school in Big Ben's mouth, if it weren't for Richard's appearance, it would be his alma mater......

"Brad, Ben, Brent, Allen, Jerome, you five starters!"

As the game was about to begin, Richard began to set up his starting lineup.

"Regional joint defense, remember, regional joint defense! It's the most basic defensive tactic, and if that doesn't work well, I'll keep you on the bench forever! ”

"No matter what kind of offensive system the opponent has, give me a stubborn zone joint defense!"

That gentle yellow-skinned young man is now incarnated as a vicious tiger again, and his tone is extremely harsh!

The game started immediately, and Richard felt a wave of impatience for no reason......

"Doot toot!" The referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, and the starters for both sides began to come on, with Richard sitting back on the bench.

In the first few offensive and defensive rounds at the beginning of the game, the difference in strength between the two sides was vividly reflected!

One is a top Division I team, the other is a little-known Division I team, and it is no exaggeration to say that even a player like Jerome Green, placed on the opposing team, is an absolute first-class figure, and may even hit various team history records!

In this case, the boilermaker team has a huge advantage from the start.

Especially Iverson, who is quite outstanding on the offensive end, and the breakthrough on the field is like a ghost that makes the opponent unprepared!

Richard watched the game from the sidelines and nodded with satisfaction, not to mention anything else, now Iverson's offensive strength is definitely crushing the existence of the NCAA, and it is not unpredictable to beat a second-tier league team!

Seeing the situation of the game on the field, old Philip finally put his mind at ease.

At the end of the 20 minutes of play time in the first half, the boilermakers won by a huge advantage of 23 points at 47:24!

Among them, Iverson scored 19 points alone in the first half, and his performance was quite eye-catching, which directly made tens of thousands of local fans at the scene remember the name of this small player.

The game went quite smoothly, and Richard was quite satisfied with the situation.

But in the second half of the game, Richard directly poured cold water on him, making him realize that the situation may not be as easy as he thought.

The second half of the game for the Boilermakers can be described in one word, and that is chaos......

They led by 23 points in the first half, and by the end of the game, they had only extended that lead to 25 points!

In other words, against a garbage team like Virginia Union, the boilermakers only won by a measly two points at halftime!

This is undoubtedly a shame!
