"First of all, we have to give the ball to Lathew and let him organize the attack. ”

At the Grizzlies' training gym in Anaheim, Joe stood in the center of all the players, pulling Rasionestrovic and laying out the basic play of Princeton's tactics.

"Tactical positioning, we're 2-2-1 positioning, Lachai, as a center, you're in the top of the arc, get the ball here."

"Point guards and small forwards are on the side with the ball, and power forwards and shooting guards are on the weak side without the ball...... The simplest way to play, point guards and small forwards cut directly to the interior when the center holds the ball in the high post, and when necessary, the center can give one of the players a cover, as long as the player who cuts in the air gets the opportunity, the center player with the ball passes the ball directly......"

One of the most critical links is that the center is pulled to the high post, so that the opponent's interior line must also be pulled out, and the inside box will be emptied, and the team's small players who cut in the air have the opportunity to pose a direct threat to the basket.

Johi arranges for El Boykins and Sean Marion to cut into the air, as Boykins and Marion are more threatening than Rajabel and Roughly.

"If the point guard and small forward's air cut doesn't find an opportunity, then the weak side of the scoring guard and power forward will pull out and continue to empty the low post, and the point guard small forward will continue to cut low, at this time the center can pass the ball to the point guard and small forward who cut the air, or not pass the ball, and wait for the point guard and small forward to continue the air cut."

"If you still can't find a chance like that, then Lasiu, you pass the ball to the side, one of the point guards and the small forward cuts out, and the other goes around the bottom corner of the weak side without the ball, Lasiu, you cover the guy who cuts out, and after the screen, the player with the ball immediately passes the ball to the player who passes through the screen, cuts through the screen with the ball, and continues to look for opportunities."

"If you pass the ball directly on the first cut, the player with the ball can decide whether to shoot or continue to cut into the low post, depending on the situation."

"Shoot when you have the chance, pass the ball when you don't, and while the ball carrier cuts in, the other players have to keep moving, by constantly moving, pulling the space......"

This set of basic playing styles has various cuts and cuts, and in fact, it has not yet touched the essence of Princeton's tactics, but this set of playing styles is the simplest set of Princeton's tactics, so Qiao Hai directly arranged this set of playing styles and let the players participating in the summer league practice first.

With the addition of Princeton's tactical board, even the players of the Summer League can practice this simple style of play very quickly.

There must be problems, but with Qiao Hai on the scene to supervise, many small problems were solved on the spot.

For example, Rasiunestrovic couldn't figure out when he should pass the ball and when he couldn't.

Qiao Hai directly gave Nesterovic a simple set of passing times: "As long as the player who cuts in the air gets a certain amount of space to receive the ball, you can pass the ball......"

Indeed, as long as the player who cuts the air has space to receive the ball, it means that the player who cuts the air has the opportunity to face the basket directly, maybe the opponent's defense is very fast, and the player who can strangle the air cut, but as long as the opponent makes up the defense, the opponent's defense will always be in a state of being pulled, as long as the Grizzlies insist on running without the ball, cutting in the air, passing, the opportunity will definitely appear.

After a day of practice, the Grizzlies Summer United went to the battlefield.

Qiao Hai went to watch the game, but he didn't go to the coach's box, just bought a seat near the Grizzlies bench and sat on the sidelines to watch the game.

In this game, the Grizzlies' opponent is the Clippers, and in this summer's draft, the Clippers chose Lamar Odom, plus last year's champion Olowokandi, the Clippers' interior line is still very strong.

But in the opening period, Olowokandi was taken directly to the high post by Nesterovic, Lamar Odom was also moved out of the box, and Sean Marion scored easily with an empty cut.

Then, the Clippers also scored, but the Grizzlies played the same routine again, this time with Ear Boykins, and the Grizzlies scored one after another, and the offensive state improved at a visible rate.

Sean Marion was suddenly at home in this system, scoring all sorts of air cuts.

At the end of the first quarter, the Grizzlies actually led the Clippers.

You know, in the just-concluded Rocky Mountain Summer League, the Clippers were the runner-up, while the Grizzlies performed badly in the Rocky Mountain Summer League, and in the end they didn't even make the playoffs and were eliminated directly.

In the second quarter, the Clippers' summer league coach directly began to adjust, consciously blocking the Grizzlies' small air cut, and leaving Olowokandi on the interior through defensive substitutions.

Then, the Clippers finally played their runner-up style, and at one point suppressed the Grizzlies in the second quarter, but the Grizzlies' offense was still solid, and after halftime, they were still leading.

Sitting behind the coach's seat, Qiao Hai couldn't bear it, and directly called out to Byron Scott, making a small adjustment, wanting to reactivate the Grizzlies' Princeton tactics.

"Byron, tell Sean to add some anti-runs."

Running back is actually one of the core of Princeton's tactics, and if there is a counterrun, the opponent's defense will be even more caught off guard.

It was a simple adjustment, and Byron Scottra passed a player on the sidelines and took the new command to the pitch.

Soon, in an attack, Sean Marion cut the inside line, suddenly ran back, went directly back to the high post, received a pass from Rasiunestrovic, and hit a three-point shot.

Then, Sean Marion also made some changes on his own, and after the reverse run, with the help of Nesterovic's second cover, he found an open opportunity again and hit another shot.

In this way, through the counterrun, Sean Marion scored 5 points in a row, and the Grizzlies' offense turned on again.

For the Clippers, Sean Marion suddenly became difficult to defend, because Marion's off-ball running was unpredictable, and the players defending Sean Marion couldn't guess Marion's next move, whether it was an empty cut inside, an empty cut to the low post, or a reverse run back to the three-point line?

The offense turned on, and the Grizzlies upset the Clippers.

In this game, Sean Marion, who had been criticized before, exploded, shooting 11 of 18 and cutting down 28 points and 11 rebounds.

Joe Hai left Los Angeles after watching this summer league and he returned to Vancouver.

A summer league game, plus the paraphrases of Byron Scott, he is enough to understand the team's summer league performance, Sean Marion does not have the ability to attack with the ball, but his off-ball running is really top-notch, Elboygins has the ability to play off the bench, at least looking at his open cut shot.

Ragabel's shooting is not stable, but with fighting spirit, his one-on-one defense is excellent, so in the new season, Ragabel will play the role of Lakers Bruce Bowen last season, coming off the bench to defend the opponent's arrowhead player.

The rough vacant shooting is good, Rasiunestrovic's organizational ability is average, and he should only be able to play as a substitute.

Finally, Manu Ginobili has a lot of problems, the main one of which is defense, and Ginobili can't defend anyone.

After thinking about it, Qiao Hai contacted Manu Ginobili's agent and said: "Let Manu go back to Europe to play for another season, and next season, I guarantee that the Grizzlies will sign him." ”

After a pause, Qiao Hai added: "We will give Manu a training plan, let him train according to our training plan, and improve himself well......"

Qiao Hai's training plan is very valuable, after all, it is automatically generated by the scouting system, and it can always accurately find out the problems of the players and conduct targeted training.
