Phil Jackson, Triangle Offense.

Once upon a time, they were two terms that terrified the entire alliance.

And now, Phil Jackson, who is stationed in the Kings, has completed the transformation of the triangle offense in the Kings team?

The answer given by most people is probably no.

"Triangle Offense ......" After listening to Coach Zhang's words, Yoga repeated it in a low voice, and then went to see the end of the timeout, and the two sides switched back to the starting court, puzzled: "Coach Zhang, I don't understand, what the Kings are playing now is a triangle offense?" ”

"Why not?" Director Zhang asked rhetorically: "On the offensive end, try to give my cousin, the strongest one-on-one attack point, to make the ball, so that he can have a chance to play singles in the ribs." With him as the axis, the whole team runs the strategy, and the rest of the players open up subtle spaces, and then place the second point of attack on the weak side or near the top of the arc as a second offensive option. This is the iconic triangular offensive positioning. ”

"The placement is indeed the placement of the triangle offense, but Director Zhang, I remember the triangle offense tactics of the Bulls and Lakers in the past, how to say it......" Yoga scratched his head and said: "I don't know how to describe it, I just think that Phil Jackson's triangle offense didn't seem to be so ...... before"

"Hehe, it's not so messy?" Director Zhang asked.

"Yes, yes, yes! It's just not that messy! Yoga nodded frantically.

"This is normal, because the Kings' triangle offensive transformation has not been completely completed." Director Zhang said with a smile: "It's no problem to settle down, but the most important thing about the triangle attack is the space, and the second is tacit understanding." These two points are things that need to be accumulated over a long period of time before they can be gradually formed, and they cannot be achieved overnight. Look at the previous Bulls and Lakers, before reaching the top, they also experienced a run-in period, and they were both beaten stupid in the playoffs. ”

"Space and ...... Tacit understanding? Yoga looked at Director Zhang with a thirsty expression on his face.

"The spacious, triangle attack doesn't ask the players to 'must' follow what line to run or what they 'must' do at certain moments. But players are always asked to stay about one-third of the width of the pitch from their teammates, especially the main point of attack with the ball. ”

Director Zhang explained: "This distance is scientifically calculated, and within this distance, the speed of passing the ball will be just a little faster than the speed of people running to make up for defense. That's just the right amount of time for the players to make a shot. The essence of the triangle offense is not the star single, but how to make good use of this delicate space after the star single attracts the defense to shrink. ”

"As for the tacit understanding, I don't need to explain more. Without understanding, players have no way of knowing when their teammates are and what choices they will make. Should you run to catch the ball, rush to the inside to rebound, or go straight back to defense? These things need to be matched for a long time, and only after having a tacit understanding can they be understood. ”

"Huh!"

On the court, Durant, who returned to the battlefield, continued to firepower, and a sideways jumper who dribbled on the wing and turned to the middle, hitting the basket accurately, finally stopped the bleeding for the Thunder.

"As for the Kings, it's a new roster, and the players have almost never been exposed to the triangle offense before. The only person who has ever played under Phil Jackson is Bynum, but ah, this Bynum is a dead brain, in his eyes, the triangular thing, probably only a bowling pin, haha! ”

Director Zhang's mouth is not ambiguous, and he said: "If I guess correctly, Phil Jackson's idea must be to use about two years to establish a tacit understanding within the Kings team and an important concept of space, and then produce results." But this year's situation is a bit scary, the Kings rushed to the Western Conference Finals all the way to the Western Conference Finals, and the traditional tacit understanding establishment method must be too late, so Phil Jackson will have frequent strange moves on the road to promotion, and the opponents he played were a little confused. ”

"Director Zhang will use the words of this new human being." Yoga smiled and nodded.

"Well, I'm a good friend of the young basketball fans, and of course we have to understand their language!" Director Zhang shook his head proudly, and then suddenly stunned, as if he felt that his action was inexplicably a bit like Gu Yu, and hurriedly said: "In short, the basic system of the Kings has been built, but the Thunder team has not." So in this round of the series, the Kings are not as hopeless as everyone says, and the importance of the system is far more powerful than everyone thinks. ”

As for Phil Jackson, when he is going to start actually teaching the Kings players the triangle offense, and what else Phil Jackson will do if the Kings continue to go along, that's not something that Coach Zhang can predict.

Here, Coach Zhang and Yoga are doing popular science for the fans, and on the court over there, Kevin Durant, the Grim Reaper, began his Jedi counterattack.

"Smack!"

The Kings' offense finally turned the ball to Green, and a breakthrough layup missed, and the rebound was directly picked up by Durant.

Seeing Durant protect the rebound, Evans felt a little relieved, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask for the ball: "Kevin, the ball ......"

"You, run." However, before Evans's words fell, Durant retracted the ball to his chest as if a child wanted to protect his toy, and waved it with one hand, directly past Evans's thoughts.

“…… I see. Although Evans was not angry in his heart, but in this game, he really drove high and low, and he was not qualified to ask Durant for anything, so he could only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and turned back to run.

What a stinking fart!

While running, Evans scolded his mother in his heart, came to the front court to settle down, and at the same time commanded Cousins, who was angry to explode, to stay cool. Looking back at Durant, the appearance of the contractor made Evans more and more angry.

really just got out of the tiger's den and entered Longtan, when he left the Kings, Evans was happy in his heart, and he was relieved. can finally ignore Gu Yu's face, and finally come to a team that advocates free play more, and can display his talent without scruples.

In Evans' cognition, Durant is a rather low-key boss, although the offense is also very strong, but it is different from Gu Yu's stormy offense. Durant's offense is more calm and spicy, cold as ice.

This kind of star can even be tolerated by a point guard like Wei Shao. Evans asked himself if he was a more disciplined point guard, Durant's personality will definitely give him a lot of room to play, right?

However, it didn't.

Brooks's tactical system is indeed quite open, and whoever gets the ball in the Big Three can play arbitrarily, and it doesn't matter if they score or not, what they pay attention to is a superstar effect.

Most of the time, Kevin Durant is indeed quite humble, not very good at competing for the ball with his teammates, just standing silently on the sidelines, and he will take over the game himself when he can't run tactically.

But at the critical moment, in Durant's genes, the obsession that belongs to scoring maniacs, can no longer be hidden.

"Bang bang bang!"

Dribbling the ball in the face frame, Durant has gradually adapted to this new intensity in the face of George's defense. Even though George continued to make physical contact and wanted to upset Durant's balance, Death Du was still at ease.

With a tall body, long hands and feet like a giant spider, the tiny basketball is ever-changing in Durant's hands, has no fixed form, and seems to appear in any corner.

Defend against ...... Hold on!

Beads of sweat broke down George's forehead, trying to keep his mind as steady as possible, gritting his teeth to catch Durant's pace.

In the previous single defense, Durant also tried to get rid of George, and since George adjusted his mentality, there have been few times when he has succeeded.

George is confident, and every day he goes head-to-head with a dribbling master like Gu Yu, and against an explosive jumping man like Wei Shao, he can definitely keep up with Durant's rhythm.

But what he didn't expect was that Kevin Durant's dribbling, sometimes, wasn't meant to shake.

“…… Call! ”

It's just to find and shoot the rhythm.

"Huh!"

“…… I rely on strong investment!! ”

Forcing a pull-out jumper, Durant completely ignored George's defense and shot directly at a height that George couldn't reach. The basketball is like having eyes, directly into the frame, and the net is not even flipped over.

"Good running, keep it up." Returning to the defense, Durant swept the scoreboard with both eyes and high-fived the boss's unhappy Evans, not even knowing what he was talking about.

Behind by a big score, the team fought to the death, the playoffs, the Western Conference Finals.

All the key elements are all gathered together, and Kevin Durant, who was once ridiculed as "Mr. Unreliable", has already evolved at the speed of light and entered a state of selflessness.

In the words of a fantasy basketball anime:

DURANT ENTERED HIS ZONE.

"It's kind of interesting."

Just when George was amazed by Durant's miraculous performance, another Super Saiyan burned with a fighting spirit on the corner of his mouth.

Gu Yu.

"There are three minutes left in the third quarter, Diao Min, and next, the ball is given to me."

When the baseline ball was issued, Gu Yu looked at Durant with both eyes and said with a smile: "These three minutes are no longer the level you can reach, let me give Kevin a little love education." Three minutes...... Enough for him to fall into hell. ”

After speaking, Gu Yu ran straight to the front court, leaving the rest of the king's players looking at each other, a little stunned.

Three minutes, destroy the Thunder, destroy Durant.

...... with offense!

"My cousin catches the ball, the frontcourt is single, and both sides don't engage in any tactics, it's just a tough encounter!" Yoga also saw the clues, and said excitedly: "Audience friends, please keep your eyes open, don't go to the toilet, don't drink water, don't eat spicy tang and popcorn." Because of the next few minutes of competition, you will never want to miss it in your life!! ”
