"Playing what Sacramento does best."

Running to the front, Gu Yu shouted at Wei Shao: "Chuan Che!" ”

Passing and cutting??

Wei Shao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he didn't keep up with Gu Yu's train of thought.

What the Sacramento Kings do best is passing??

"My cousin is right."

On the side, Green ran forward and nodded to Wei Shao: "Passing and cutting is the foundation of the Kings' life, and it is the core style of play that the Kings have changed over the years, and they have never changed. Do as my cousin says, and I'll cover for you! ”

“…… Okay, okay! Wei Shao refused to admit defeat, but deep down, he also began to think carefully about this problem.

With the Philadelphia 76ers in front of you, what have they always been best at?

From Moses Malone to Barkley, from Iverson to Chen Mu, Philadelphia's basketball has always run through three things:

Defense, rebounding, superstar heads-up.

It's just that sometimes, Philadelphia separates these three things and assigns them to different players. And sometimes, Philadelphia gets the pride of the sky, and it can completely hand over the three tasks to the same person.

At the moment, Philadelphia seems to have a gorgeous offense, and the team's firepower is terrifying. But at the end of the day, their core and tradition are still those three words.

Three or more blocking gates on the defensive end, at least one top rebounder in the league on the rebounding ball, and a super killer who can kill all sides with the ball on the offensive end.

No matter how times change, no matter how everything alternates, these three things in Philadelphia are the truth that will never change.

Even in some eras that don't lend themselves to this style of play, Philadelphia is sticking to this line of thinking. When the youth is not available, when the young guards are in the army, and when the veterans are supporting the field, any Philadelphia player must master these three core ideas and play according to this idea in order to truly survive in Philadelphia.

And what about the king?

As a Kings player, what cores do you need to master?

What do we have to do to keep our name on the Sacramento Basketball Wall of Honor forever, to keep our jerseys hanging in the arena, and to live well in Sacramento?

"Whoosh!"

"Oh, that's beautiful!"

On the court, Green made a no-ball cover for Gu Yu, Wei Shao passed the ball, Gu Yu held the ball on the wing, held the basketball in his hand, and aimed at Paul George, who opened up the space at the bottom line, and sent a direct pass over the top.

At the sideline commentary table, Director Zhang's eyes lit up, and he nodded frequently: "This pass is really exciting, George just wanted to open up space, but he ran out of position all of a sudden, and his cousin's pass was sent directly!" ”

Philadelphia's defense is no joke, the basket is instantly tightened, George takes the ball and wants to attack the basket, but Chen Mu and Plumlee, who are towering like iron towers in front of him, make him unable to shoot.

But the cut is only part of it.

The important thing is to pass on.

“…… Whoosh——!! ”

Passing the ball with a low hand, George looked at Green who was ambushed in the bottom corner of the weak side, but the ball in his hand was sent to the middle, and a pass was passed directly to Bynum, who was about to attack the basket after receiving the ball.

"Think beautifully!" Chen Mu turned around, a person under the basket was like a huge spider monster, the deterrent power was almost endless, his hands were spread out and he pushed forward, Bynum's mid-range shooting action was not finished, and he was already sealed without a chance.

"Andrew, behind you!"

Just when Bynum was about to be tackled by Chen Mu and made a mistake, a voice sounded behind him.

This voice appeared at this time, which really surprised Bynum a little.

And what this voice demanded made Bynum even more incredulous.

"Bang!"

hit the ground and passed back to the crotch, Bynum sent the basketball back in his hand, did not stop at his feet, and immediately stepped forward to the side, and took away Chen Mu with an arrow step.

The person who appeared behind Bynum was actually Dream Chaser.

"Green takes the initiative to ask for the ball and ?! basket"

No one could have predicted that Green, who has a very low desire for offense, would take the initiative to ask for the ball at the half-volley position.

What is even more unexpected is that Green did not hesitate after winning the ball, and actually made a direct shot with a throw.

Because he believes in Bynum and believes that this big man who has partnered with him for a lot of games will definitely be able to take Chen Mu away!

"Whew......!"

Basketball shot, even Chen Mu didn't expect Green to make such a move, he couldn't react at once, and he couldn't make any interference.

It's a pity that Dream Chasing Green is usually too persistent in passing, and when he really wants to attack the basket, even if he makes up his mind, there is no way to easily succeed.

"Dang!"

"Rebounding !!"

Chen Mu was taken to the bottom line on the strong side by Bynum, and suddenly he couldn't go back to the three-second zone to grab the rebound. And the rebound landing point in front of him clearly told Chen Mu that the landing point was in the three-second zone.

With a shout, Chen Mu anxiously called for Plumlee to protect the rebound. Butler and Iguodala on the outside also quickly returned to defend and wanted to rush for protection.

But the other one, faster.

"Rub!"

Gu Yu!

"the groove is cousin!!" In the media seat, many reporters couldn't help but burst into rudeness, and they all stared at Gu Yu with wide eyes, unable to believe that Gu Yu would be so obsessed with frontcourt rebounds.

"Smack!"

A little in the air, no matter how good Gu Yu's bounce is, it can't support him to take the ball directly above the heads of a large number of interior players. But this shot accurately sent the ball back to the free throw line.

There, Green hasn't gone yet.

"Good ball, cousin......!!!"

Receiving the ball without pausing, Green's previous annoyance at not being able to throw in his mind was instantly forgotten by him. This guy who is full of only "fight hard in the next round" rushes into the inside line with a step and lays with his hands open.

"Huh!"

Middle!

"Wow——!!!"

With a dazzling variety of one-handed passes, although the Kings are still lacking in offense, their understanding of the court space is amazing.

“NICE……！”

On the sideline bench, Phil Jackson couldn't help but punch hard.

He knew that his whole season's hard work would finally begin at this time and bear fruit.

"Beautiful! This attack is really beautiful!! ”

On the side of the commentary stage, Smith said loudly: "It's all a one-handed pass, and in a small space, the Kings have made extreme operations." With so many people in the basket, they can still find open space through non-stop passing and movement. These guys' understanding of space seems to have surpassed that of Philadelphia! ”

That's right, the cooperation in a small space is the most test of the players' understanding of the space on the court.

In this round just now, Green's running, Bynum's pulling, George's passing and air cutting, Gu Yu's instantaneous judgment, and Wei Shao's deliberate retreat, all of these combined to create vacant opportunities that Philadelphia could not prevent.

This is what the triangle offense does best, building the system and creating the players' detached understanding and judgment of space. Thinking about how to open up the space and how to make the most of the small space all the time, this process lasted for a whole year, and now, it is finally beginning to show its terrifying original appearance.

If this system continues for a while, another two or three years, the Kings' understanding of court space will far exceed that of all teams in the league!

In addition to the pass, the second of the immortal badges that the Kings have always adhered to in the team tradition has also appeared in front of everyone.

That is: space.

"Bang bang bang...... Call! ”

Philadelphia attacked, which had already chased a point, and the excellent opportunity to overtake was controlled by the king, and the score was stretched to 3 points again. Of course, Philadelphia will not give up, the cunning cooperation in the front court is successful, Curry leads again and again in the middle distance, Chen Mu catches the ball on the wing and jumps with the ball in one hand, and a throws to hit the board in the middle distance.

"Huh!"

Middle!

"It's still a 1-point gap! Philadelphia bites the score, and the two sides are anxious! ”

It's not enough.

Listening to the excited shouts of the commentators, Gu Yu gasped and wiped his sweat, and when he ran to the front court, his brain was also spinning rapidly.

It is not enough to have the two magic weapons of "transmission and cutting" and "space".

To win the game, the Kings also need to figure out the team's third badge.

That badge will be a combination of the first two golden badges.

The triangle is the most stable pattern, and only by gathering the power of this triangle can the Kings really take to the air.

The answer is in Gu Yu's own hands.

"Cross the sides, don't stand!!"

In the front court to control the ball, Wei Shao once again commanded the tactics in the positional battle that he was not good at, the running positions of his teammates were dazzling, and the space kept appearing and disappearing, but Wei Shao never sent that fatal pass.

Why?

Many people are wondering what Wei Shao is worried about and hesitating.

Gu Yu's very conventional running position activated Wei Shao's nerves.

"Bang"

Side cover, Bynum quickly turned around and went down after giving Gu Yu a no-ball cover, and Gu Yu bounced off and cut out, opening his hand outside the three-point line to ask for the ball.

"Whoosh——!!!"

The moment the ball was sent, a wonderful question appeared in Wei Shao's mind:

"How long has it been since we've shot a three-pointer??"

In fact, the answer is not so long ago, and it was impossible for a team like the Kings, which relied heavily on mid- to long-range shooting, not to shoot three-pointers for a long time.

Even Wei Shao himself often throws a three-point shot on his blood when the offense really can't be opened, try his luck and bet on whether a handful of balls will be scored.

But since the Kings began to consciously increase their passing and run away from space, there were more opportunities under the basket, and Philadelphia's restricted area defense became a little empty, and the players began to pay less attention to the outside shooting opportunities.

This is not right.

"Yo, the rhythm is fine."

On the wing, Gu Yu received the ball without pausing, his hands were raised quickly as if they were mechanical, and while Butler was crazy to grab and jump, his wrist was firmly flicked quickly.

The Sacramento Kings, who don't shoot mid-to-long shots, are definitely not a fully integrated Kings team.

The third immortal badge is in our hands.

“…… Swish! ”

That's shooting!
