"Jeff, did you see that? It's the video of ESPN's live broadcast of the 76ers vs Suns yesterday. Early the morning after the game, Tyron Corbin found Coach Jeff Hornacek, who came to the stadium early, and reminded him that Hornacek was the first head coach this season, and Xinguang took up three positions, so he has been the first coach to come to the stadium every day.

"Huh? No, we beat the 76ers very easily yesterday, and where do I have time to watch that now, if I want to watch it, I can watch the replay. Hornacek laughed happily.

The team's record has climbed from last year's bottom in the West to third in the West after Hornacek took over, and he himself is currently the favorite to practice this season, so he is full of passion and red face when he is working, which makes Abby's mother, Mrs. Hornacek, wonder for a while if the old guy has a second spring.

"Well, that's right, yesterday Van Gundy made some suggestions for our lineup, and I think there is some truth to that." Coach Tyrone hesitated, but gritted his teeth.

"Oh? I see, I'll see it later. Originally, Tillon Corbyn was only a physical trainer and was not responsible for the team's tactics, but Tyron is a veteran of the Suns after all, as the head coach of the Suns, he has a certain reputation in the uniform group, and Tyron Corbyn is usually very reliable, so Hornacek decided to give him face and take a look at the content in the video.

"One big and four small semi-circle tactics?"

"No, Rudy Gobert is still not as dominant as Howard in my opinion, especially on the offensive side, so when he was on the Magic team, the tactical core was Howard, and Tetkoglou was for Howard although he was a playmaker. But the Suns' primary and secondary relationship can be reversed. ”

"How?"

"So far, Rudy Gobert has played in 29 regular-season games for the Suns, including just four starts, and he averaged 6.4 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game while averaging 26.4 minutes per game, which shows his defensive potential."

"I seem to understand what you mean, you mean that the defensive end uses Gobert's height and long arms and excellent athleticism to create a defensive system similar to the one that the Magic created for Howard back then, but on the offensive end, they can rely more on Li Mojie, using his playmaking and offensive talent and the team's group of shooters for them to open up the situation."

"Oh my God, isn't that the equivalent of the Suns having both Howard and James?"

Seeing this, Hornacek fully understood what Van Gundy was saying, so he turned off the TV, silently turned on his computer, and fell silent.

In 09, the Magic swooped up, defeated the defending champion Celtics, defeated the surging James, and only lost to the Lakers led by Kobe, almost achieving hegemony. The success of the Magic is due to the big Van Gundy's tailor-made one-four-small semicircle strategy for Howard: the big forward position is replaced by a tall three-point shooter, completely freeing up the interior position and allowing Howard to run and jump. With Howard in the center of the circle and four other teammates in the mid-to-long range shooting position, the main point guards on the Magic's guard line that year were Nelson and Alston, who averaged about five assists per game, but the two were not the core of the team. Because in that Magic team, the core of the team is the 2.08-meter-tall Teteglu, if you watched the Magic team at the time, the general situation is that the guard dribbles the ball to the front court and hands the ball to Tekoglu at the top of the arc first. Tecoglu and Howard's pick-and-roll system is the engine of this tactical system, and it realizes the magic inside and outside.

Eighty percent of the Magic's offensive options were made by Turkoglou, who doesn't have a strong matchup, but has a strong passing ability and an open vision. And as a big forward, he is bound to transfer out one of the opponent's interior lines, which only gives the peak of the demon beast a lot of room to play. In addition, Lewis, Nelson, Bogans, and Redick on the team all have outside offensive capabilities, so this system was extremely dominant in the league at that time.

Make the most of Howard's mobility on the offensive end and avoid Howard being too rigid on the inside. Let Agent Turkogru and Howard block and dismantle, giving full play to the Magic's lineup advantage. On the defensive end, he made full use of Howard's strengths to build a defensive system, using a defense similar to that of the Spurs, and the outside players forced the opponent to go to the baseline and let Howard help defend.

However, this lineup has two fatal flaws: 1. Howard can't block super centers, such as Yao Ming, which were few at the time and are now extinct. 2. Since the Magic's big forwards are all thin and weak, they are easy to be blown up in the face of offensive big forwards, such as Gasol and Garnett, and the Suns' current big forwards have sufficient reserves: Markieff, Marcus Brothers, PJ Tucker, and Channingfrye can all play big forwards.

"James + Howard?" Hornacek muttered, in Hornacek's opinion, although Li Mojie's impact is slightly inferior to James, but his physical flexibility and agility are better than James's, and Li Mojie's shooting touch looks much softer than James in the early stage, and it is also a lot more accurate, and Tillon Corbyn feels that Li Mojie is more like a strengthened version of Pierce in the future with offensive ability.

And what about Gobert? Truth be told, Hornacek doesn't pay much attention to him more than you do, but from the assistant coach's lips and Gobert's sometimes brilliant defense, Hornacek can also see his potential.

So if it were to be as Van Gundy put it, because Li Mojie also has the ability to shoot, plus once the team finds a suitable group of shooters.

Hornacek suddenly felt his goosebumps rise, if this is the lineup, then how should the tactics be arranged?

"First, the offensive end can take advantage of Li Mojie's excellent individual singles ability and overall view, the outside shooter pulls away, and once Li Mojie is caught on the opposite side, he can share the ball, the shooter shoots in groups, and Gobert on the inside can grab the board. Second, once you encounter a single defense master to reduce Li Mojie's singles efficiency, you can also let the shooter group intersperse the running position, carry out outside blocking and dismantling, so that Li Mojie can attack the misplaced single, just like the last time the Warriors did, I thought that if the Warriors can find a No. 3 position with very strong single ability, that No. 3 position is like Li Mojie, who can shoot and protect the frame, then the day when the Warriors are invincible in the world is not far away! ”

"So, will you be able to finish that lineup first? "Hornacek had never felt the O'Brien Cup so close to him, and his breathing grew heavier.......

Hornacek's eyes were like torches, staring at the two figures in the video, one white and one yellow, and said word by word: "Now let's see if our James and Howard can reach the height we want in the future!"
