However, Ward didn't really want to play on his own, Iverson followed, and his mission was completed, and the ball "thumped" into the hands of Alan Houston, who was bypassing the screen.

As Chuck Daley said, there are no secrets in this league, and even though the Knicks are a team that has lost 21 in a row, their usual tactics are still recorded in the scouts of each team and then put on the desk of their head coach.

A week ago, the Knicks suffered a heavy loss to the 76ers, and the team was pinched the point guard the most, and it seems that Larry Brown has focused on D'Antoni's preferred V-shaped offense.

Li Wei let Ward hold the ball, Big Z and Oakley blocked and dismantled in the high position, and made a V-shaped offensive frame, the purpose of which was to say: Look, I'm playing V-shaped offense again, come and defend me!

Iverson really tried his best to chase Charlie Ward all the way to the penalty area, and at this time Ward passed the ball out, and the second point on the perimeter began to work.

What the Knicks really want is not to play a V-shaped offense, but to lure Iverson away and reduce the possibility of Garnett being trapped. After all, this kid is too fast, like a flea on the field, and he can't tell where he will jump in the next moment.

Of course, if Iverson doesn't fall for it, it doesn't matter, and the Knicks can also play this offense into a real V-shaped offense. If you come to help defend on the inside, you will pass the bottom line, and if you don't help defend Ward, you will go on your own, and there will definitely be more than one choice in the implementation of tactics.

Houston got the ball, lost it to the perimeter playmaker Garnett, and ran to cover Ward. On the other hand, Oakley is also blocking people for Big Z!

After a few tactical runs, the ball was in the hands of Big Z. The Knicks big center shot in the middle, and the 76ers center Montrose couldn't catch up and watched the ball fall into the basket!

2：2！

The 76ers offense, the Knicks defensive.

The Knicks played against the 76ers today, which is actually very advantageous, because the 76ers are back-to-back games, and they just finished playing the Nuggets yesterday, and they have no time to adjust today, and most tactics can only follow the old routine.

The Knicks spent the day yesterday in targeted drills, both offensively and defensively, and today's round paid off immediately. Because the tactics put forward by the 76ers are exactly one of the tactics that the Knicks have planned to target.

Iverson holds the ball, Stackhouse comes to block and then cuts out. Oakley, who was inside, suddenly pounced, and Garnett dropped Stackhouse to block Iverson's pass.

Iverson is not a person who loves to pass the ball, and when he saw that things were not good, he decisively shot against Oakley!

"Dang!"

With a crisp sound, it's iron!

Big Z receives a long pass after receiving the rebound!

Charlie Ward, who had been prepared for a long time, rushed to the front court and scored an easy layup!

2:4, Knicks lead!

Next, the two sides played back and forth for several rounds, and the score became 8-16, with the Knicks leading. Larry Brown called a timeout, knowing he had been calculated and that his tactics needed to be adjusted immediately.

NBA tactics can be broadly divided into three categories, basic tactics, derivative tactics, and temporary tactics.

Each coach has his own set of basic tactics, such as the eight major offensive systems of the Spurs that everyone is very familiar with, 37 tactics, and even the sweeping aunt can talk about it eloquently.

Each team will also print the basic tactics into a tactical manual, and each player will have a copy, and the whole training camp is to memorize the tactics, familiarize themselves with the system, and practice the system.

Laymen think that there are a lot of 37 basic tactics, but in fact, there are not many at all, and there are more than 37 poems memorized by primary school students in my country.

Of course, the more basic tactics the better, the more basic tactics of the team, the longer the players will learn and adapt, the NBA players change frequently, there is not so much time for newcomers to learn, thirty or forty tactics, just no more and no less.

The Knicks' current tactical manual, the offensive tactics part was co-written by Li Wei and D'Antoni, and Chuck Daley also put forward a lot of constructive suggestions, the main routines are running and shooting, V-shaped offense, and some playing styles of the Warriors in the previous life, which are refined into five systems and 30 tactics.

However, last month, the two made another major revision, some of the original tactics have been expanded, some have been deleted, and some have been modified, and now there are 32 tactics in six systems, which can barely cope with the situation.

Basic tactics are not a secret, everyone knows them, and if you want to win by surprise in a game, you have to play some derivative tactics.

Derivative tactics are based on basic tactics with slight modifications, and players will understand very quickly because of the basic tactics.

For example, as soon as this game opened, Li Wei added a No. 21 tactical V-shaped offensive starting style in front of their No. 43 tactic, and Charlie Ward and Big Z blocked and dismantled, making the opponent misjudge.

Aren't the Knicks currently in a total of 32 basic sets? How could there be a number 43?

That's because Li Wei is not in order when he is numbered, and the No. 3 tactic of the fourth offensive system is No. 43.

This kind of slightly modified, specious derivative tactics are common, and every coach arranges some. Li Wei modified seven sets of tactics yesterday according to the characteristics of the 76ers, and practiced with the whole team, and today the Knicks focus on these seven sets of derivative tactics.

As for the temporary tactics, they are the tactics that the coach designs temporarily according to the situation of the game, and it may not have anything to do with the basic tactics of the team, and is only used for a certain purpose.

On the offensive side, Li Wei made full preparations, and on the defensive side, Chuck Daley and others also made targeted arrangements, which made the 76ers feel very uncomfortable as soon as they came up.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Larry Brown decided to make a temporary adjustment to his tactics, and this temporary change of formation was also the moment when the coach's skills were most tested.

Worse coaches, it's hard to come up with effective ways to deal with them in a tight time, and some people even don't play at all, no matter how you play, I just follow the plan set before the game, because I know that after the change, the team can only play worse.

The problem with Larry Brown is that he's so smart that he gives a lot of instructions during the timeout and then the players are confused.

The 76ers are new coaches this summer, and everyone is a new Larry Brown system, and it doesn't hurt to play according to the script, but the sudden change is really damning!

This is an adjustment of the interval between the games, not the usual training, and there is no time for everyone to practice!

You have to be on the pitch and make those changes that the coach asks you for!

Especially Iverson, a sophomore, almost had to write the word unhappy on his face!

That's why Larry Brown hates newcomers.

Newcomers may be able to memorize the basic tactics well, but they can't be like the old birds, and immediately make temporary adjustments on the field when they hear them, you can't implement my tactics, what do I want you to do?

Larry Brown is even wondering if the team needs to trade Iverson as well.

In 2000, Brown did come close to trading Iverson, only to be aborted because Matt Geiger was unwilling to give up the veto clause in his contract.

Li Wei also fine-tuned the team's tactics during the timeout. He knows that the team is only familiar with the basic routines now, and if there are too many changes, everyone can't accept it, so it can only be self-defeating, so he only changed two points in a targeted manner.

The first offensive option of the No. 33 tactic was changed from Houston to Charlie Ward, and the second choice was still the same as Big Z. Because Houston has just scored two goals, Iverson will definitely think about making up for it.

Tactic 61 adds a link for Garnett to slip the bottom line, because judging from the previous rounds, the 76ers are relatively empty in the bottom corner when defending this tactic.

On the court again, the Knicks still maintained a good momentum, but the 76ers were a little messy, especially Stackhouse, who was caught in trade rumors, did not run according to Larry Brown's new tactics at all!

"A group of Adou who can't be helped!" Larry Brown gritted his teeth in anger.
