Coach D'Antoni drew a new tactic on the blackboard that Koharu had wiped cleanly, centering on Yang Yiming's individual scoring tactics.

The circle represents your own Rocket team, and the fork represents the opposing Cavaliers. A basketball-style tile attaches to the board and can be moved around at will. Then use the arrows and horizontal lines to connect and block respectively, and the coach can draw dozens of tactical arrangements for this impromptu decision made at halftime.

But all the tactics, once simplified, can still be summed up in the three basic tactics that Team Rockets loves.

Abbreviated as the Rocket's One, Two and Three tactics.

Yang Yiming is of course very familiar with these three sets of basic tactics. But usually they are mainly designed for the team's scorer Harden or Paul, once they are used on themselves today, the rest of the teammates on the court must serve him, so how many points Yang Yiming can score in the end depends on his personal creation.

Tactic one!

1/

Tactic one, of course, is one-on-one singles.

But there is also a difference between singles and singles.

In the singles we see every day, most of them are one-on-one with the ball holder, and the rest of the two, whether it is two (3-on-3 at half-court) or four, are all pulled away on the weak side to create space for the singles. If the ball carrier can score, it is of course a good thing, which shows that the star is strong and also increases the team's points. But if you don't score in a single game, it will immediately show the weakness of the single tactics: not only will it be difficult for the team to organize a second offensive opportunity, but it will also infinitely magnify the situation of one person playing four people. The remaining players don't feel involved, and once they want to change tactics, it will be difficult for teammates who don't have a warm hand to adapt quickly.

But the Rockets' singles tactics won't be that simple. For example, the first goal of the second half was the execution of Yang Yiming holding the ball and playing a single. He started a little to the left from outside the top arc, also to facilitate the dribble with his right hand. The remaining four PJ Tucker, Ariza, Harden, and Paul are not lined up on the weak side of the right, but are ambushed by Tucker in the deepest part of the baseline and can stealthily cut inside; Paul and Yang Yiming are almost on the same side of the outside line, which seems to add crowding to the latter's singles, but in fact, as long as Yang Yiming breaks through and is blocked, Paul can answer at any time, and the two can work together to create a new fighter. The rest of Harden and Ariza, as accurate three-point shooters, do stand at 45 degrees and the bottom corner on the weak side, but they are also ready to move and adjust at any time to receive Yang Yiming's breakthrough shot.

Yang's breakthrough went well, as he relied on his speed and upper body strength to squeeze out Jeff Green and rush into the box. But the Cavaliers' defensive rotation did a good job, with LeBron James moving sideways to defend Yang Yiming's forward path and Tristan Thompson defending PJ Tucker under the basket.

If Yang Yiming rushes hard, he is likely to knock down Zhan Huang and be whistled for an offensive foul. Tucker's position was also blocked, and he couldn't pass back to Paul, Yang Yiming could only choose Ariza or Harden on the outside if he didn't attack, but they were actually blocked behind the Cavaliers defenders!

The good thing is that Harden has experience. In this critical moment, he flicked to the left, deceived his defender, found an opening, hit the three-point line, and moved to the basket at the same time!

This shaking distracted Emperor Zhan, who had just stood still. He moved his center of gravity slightly in the direction of Harden's breakthrough, and was keenly caught by Yang Yiming - after all, he has superhuman moving image analysis ability, which has been proven countless times to compete with the league's top players and even Zhan Huang - he borrowed Zhan Huang's center of gravity to move right in a few tenths of a second, broke through with European steps from the left side, and scored the ball!

The second tactic is to block and dismantle with the ball.

Blocking and pick-and-roll with the ball is also the tactic that the Rockets use the most. In general, in the ball-blocking tactics, Paul and Harden are the main ball-holders, and Yang Yiming, Tucker, Capela, Ariza, and Nene are mainly involved as blockers and pick-and-rolls. However, Yang Yiming was also arranged by Coach D'Antoni to serve as the No. 1 core guard at the end of the regular season, and the ball carrier he played at this time just played the effect of training at that time.

However, Coach D'Antoni arranged the ball blocking and dismantling tactics for Yang Yiming, which is more threatening than usual: this is the blocking and dismantling of the inside and outside lines!

Yang Yiming holds the ball, and Harden or Paul blocks it for him!

Harden and Paul's blocking, on the one hand, their defenders are relatively small guards, if Yang Yiming has an absolute height and weight advantage, he can easily pull out or break through. This is the advantage of blocking. On the other hand, Harden and Paul are a big enough offensive threat on their own, even if they feel cold in this game, they are a great threat as long as they get the ball. This is the advantage of demolition. The blocking and dismantling all have the upper hand, and Yang Yiming's attack is much easier.

He had already scored seven points in the third quarter, including two breakaways and one three-pointer. The Cavaliers specially called a timeout for him and replaced Zhan Huang himself to defend Yang Yiming himself. LeBron James' defensive alignment is certainly a huge threat, with advantages in terms of physicality, defensive skills, and strength, but Harden mentioned the line and blocked LeBron hard. Then Paul came up to do the second block, and Yang Yiming's defender suddenly changed from the one-man Zhan Huang to the relatively weak and thin "small" guard George Hill, and he immediately pulled out a two-point shot!

When the Cavaliers wanted to take a step, Yang Yiming also improvised and made the ball to Harden. Harden feigned a shot, attracted a double bag, and then looked at the gap where Yang Yiming inserted into the restricted area, and hit the ground to help the latter score inside!

Tactic 3 is to block and dismantle without the ball.

Pick-and-roll off the ball doesn't count as a regular Rockets tactic for the simple reason that the Rockets don't have a real shooter. The Golden State Warriors have Klay Thompson and the Cleveland Cavaliers have Kyle Korver, two of the league's top three-point shooters, and both teams have off-ball pick-and-roll tactics designed specifically for them to create space and space for shooters. But not with the Rockets, their closest to a shooter is Eric Gordon, a former three-point shooting contest champion, but Gordon himself is not the type to be good at running. He prefers to shoot from the ground or attack with the ball, so the Rockets don't have a pick-and-roll strategy for shooters.

But after Yang Yiming's personal attack, Coach D'Antoni had predicted in advance that he would encounter unprecedented resistance in attack, and designed the off-ball blocking tactics to relieve his pressure on the ball!

One of the off-ball pick-and-roll routes is along the baseline. Yang Yiming starts any time from outside the three-point line, along the baseline, usually borrowing center Capela or PJ Tucker to cover in the restricted area, which counts as the first barrier, and then the opposite bottom corner and the team's wing such as Ariza or Anderson will act as the second barrier. Yang Yiming bypassed them, received Paul's timely pass, and shot directly. Although the throw was missed, the opportunity was really covered.

A major disadvantage of running without the ball along the baseline is that the running distance of the blocked person is too long, and the continuous sprint changes direction, which is a great test of the shooter's physical strength after a few shots. In a high-confrontation environment, if it has already consumed a lot of physical strength to get rid of the defense, the final shot effect will be greatly reduced.

So the Rockets also have a second set of on-line off-ball blocking and pick-and-roll tactics: horn tactics!

The two blockers stand at about opposite ends of the free-throw line, like the two horns of a bull, as the name suggests. As the most popular off-ball blocking tactic in the entire league, there are countless variations, but all changes are the same, relying on the linkage of two horns to initiate tactics.

For example, the Rockets' horn tactic is that Paul handles the ball outside the three-point line, and Capela and PJ Tucker serve as the "horns". Yang Yiming crossed the court from the left side at 45 degrees, and just as Capela helped him delay the defense behind him, PJ Tucker cut inside and took the defender to leave him a path. The two horns were dismantled, but the Rocket's shooting opportunity was created! Yang Yiming stood firmly on the right side at 45 degrees, received Paul's pass in the vacant position, and shot a three-point shot!

This time it's in!

His personal 12th point of the third quarter!

The three sets of tactics that the Rocket midfielder temporarily arranged for Yang Yiming all began to work! ()
