The so-called "running and bombing" refers to a kind of basketball tactical thinking that takes high-speed and smooth rotation movement as the main tactical feature, emphasizes the speed of offensive and defensive conversion, and partially sacrifices the offensive and defensive ability of the half-court position. In the NBA, the run-and-gun tactics are most prominent in the Suns in the 05-06 season, and the current Rockets and Warriors also have a slight feature. In the long season, the concept of "running and bombing" has been repeatedly emphasized and respected by some people, and it seems to have faintly developed into a trend and trend of public opinion.

It is probably an open offensive system in the half, players constantly create shooting opportunities through movement and conduction, and any player can choose the right shot at any time in any place, such a team mostly relies on outside feel, and the No. 4 position is mostly a player who can project or a speed type that is good at fast breaking, like the Suns' Marion Wizard's Jamison is projecting as far as the 3-point line and has excellent running and jumping ability.

Tactical features

1~ Pursuit of speed

The first goal of the "run and bomb" is speed. Running tirelessly is a weapon that drags down your enemies - at least when you're bombarding all the way. Very few people can keep up with the rhythm of a "run-and-shoot" team, unless it is also "run-and-roll". This offensive-defensive tactic often leads to spectacular games and big wins over opponents - which is also a strong guarantee at the box office. In the regular season, this tactic works – no traditional team would change lineups for a sprint win, and once you disrupt their rhythm, you've already won two-thirds of the way. But while appreciating the heat of the game, it's easy to forget that speed is also a double-edged sword, dragging down your enemies as well as your own. When the wind is good, fatigue is often overlooked, and the physical problems of the pursuer are always the first to manifest themselves; However, if the opponent is prepared for it, if you use a tenacious defense to suppress your attack speed from the start, and make the fast attacker reduce the frequency and change the pace, then the "Run-and-Bomb" team will be the first to collapse. The series of the playoffs are long, and opponents have plenty of time to adjust to your rhythm and make targeted adjustments. For the sake of victory, they deserve it.

2 ~ mid-range shooting

Secondly, another key point of "running and bombing" is "boom", that is, the dependence on medium and long range investment. Shooting is a fun thing, sometimes you have a good position, a good space, a good rhythm and a good timing, and at the moment you shoot, even you have to applaud your supple hand, but when the ball bounces out of the frame, we call it "bad luck". It's common for a person to be unlucky, and when a team is all in this situation, the nightmare becomes; And the bad thing is that this situation seems to be contagious, often the slump of a main player will drive all the teammates to slump together, how to shoot and how not to have.

3 ~ Personal Technique

Most of today's "run-and-gun" teams have reached a point where they have gone crazy in their pursuit of speed, and they strive to finish every ball before the opponent is in position. They think too much about how to get the first chance and how to disrupt the opponent's rhythm, but they forget that there are five opponents too. Most of today's "run-and-gun" teams don't know how to deal with the defense of five players, and after the opponent is in position to complete the defense, they play more with individual technical ability than with organized offensive coordination. Five-man offense, five-man defense, five-on-five, that's always the most common sight on the basketball court, and you can't always rely on one or two or three guys to defend a five. The same thing happened on the defensive end. "Run-and-shoot" is not good at defense, which has almost become a common problem. Physical strength is the main reason for this: when you use 70% of your strength on offense, you can spend a lot less on defense. And in my experience, it always seems that defending is more tiring and physically demanding than attacking. Yes, the "run-and-bomb" team is not afraid of the opponent to score because they are confident of getting more. But, like I said, what do you do when you have a bad hand wind? What to do when the rhythm is disrupted? Traditional teams can use tenacious defense to reduce the gap and adjust the tempo, but what about the "run-and-hit" team?
