Chapter 23 The Importance of the Tactical System to the Team

The old K, Wojciechovski, Collinson, and James sat in the spectator on the sidelines, observing the state of the players so that they could decide on the starting line for the next game.

When he saw Zhang Zifeng of the second team shooting continuously, Lao K said: "Chris, that Chinese boy Jack has a good shooting hand recently, and his score has increased a lot!" ”

Collinson nodded and said, "Yes, Jack's shooting rate during this period has been 41.7%, which is barely qualified in the scoring guard position!" ”

James, who has always liked Zhang Zifeng, said with a smile, "Hey, Chris, you don't have double standards. With a 41.7% shooting percentage in the game, it's not just passable, but it's very, very good! ”

The other two people laughed and joked about James for a while, and Old K sighed, "The hard work of the Chinese is really praised, no wonder China can develop so rapidly, which is inseparable from their hard work." Take Jack, for example, when he first arrived, he was really weak, and his physical confrontation was the worst in the team, and I wasn't even interested in watching him. I didn't expect that in just one and a half months, through hard training, I became an important member of the team, and now I have the strength to become a starter! ”

Wojciekhovski looked at Zhang Zifeng, who had been running on the court, and said: "Mike, I admit that Jack's current strength can be a starter, but I think we should take another look." Now it's almost February, the team's tactical system has basically been finalized, and if it changes, I'm afraid it will make the team chaotic and need to start running in again! ”

Lao K sighed and said, "You're right, now the team's tactics are basically set, and if you change it rashly, I'm afraid it will affect the preparation for the championship." This Jack is really going to give people problems. If he had this kind of quality a month earlier, I would have started him. ”

James knew that what Wojcherkhovsky and Lao K said was the truth, and although he had the heart to say a few words for Zhang Zifeng, he was silent in the end. After all, there is only a little more than a month left before the championship, and a stable and mature tactical system is the most important thing.

A team's tactical system is not something that can be formed by a coach saying two or three words.

Basketball is a team sport, and it is impossible to go long in a fierce league with the starting five alone.

Not to mention reality, it doesn't even work in the unreal.

In the well-known "Slam Dunk", Xiangbei did not even pass the third round in the national competition, and the biggest reason is not that the substitute strength is weak, and when the main force is injured and physically exhausted, no one can top it.

So the starting XI is key, but the benches are also important.

When the main team is resting, the substitute lineup has to play a role, even if it can't help the team establish an advantage, at least it must be able to bite the score and not let the point difference widen.

When the main force comes back to catch its breath, it doesn't need to spend more energy to fill the hole.

But who will be the starters? Who will be the substitute?

Whoever has more possession of the ball has more attacking opportunities in the game. Who needs to make sacrifices to reduce possession.

And in the distribution of the ball, we need to consider the mentality of the players.

Why let him start, let Lao Tzu be a substitute.

Why let Lao Tzu reduce his offensive opportunities, why not let him reduce them.

Hudken refuses to be a substitute, will he resist?

After he becomes a substitute, can he adapt and show his strength?

These are all problems.

Everyone is a person with thinking ability, but it is not just a matter of who can solve the problem with the head coach's words, even if the old K with high prestige can't do it.

Everyone wants to go to the NBA, and everyone knows that they need to perform well in the game to have a chance to go to the NBA.

Lao Tzu wants to go to the NBA, and wants to perform well under you, so he obeys your command.

If you can't realize your wishes, Lao Tzu won't bird you.

When the players do not cooperate, this is the time when the coach needs to come up with dry goods, and the combination of grace and power can integrate the team.

For example, when you are a substitute, you will be given more offensive power to ensure that you have a chance to play!

For example, do you want to play?

For example, do you want a full scholarship?

For example, do you still want a graduation certificate?

It's all decisions that the manager needs to make.

Although letting Zhang Zifeng start, it is more conducive to the team's offensive and defensive balance. But this is only an assumption, and whether it is suitable or not can only be verified by competition.

And the team's tactical system takes time to run in, just like now that Zhang Zifeng wants to replace Hood as a starter, the coach must first redesign the tactical system.

There is only a little space in the half, and the offensive lines of the five players cannot overlap, otherwise they all run together, which will only cause the team to fall into chaos.

Zhang Zifeng needs to be familiar with his offensive line, and then point guard Cook and the team's core Parker need to know Zhang Zifeng's offensive line.

Because once they get into the inside line and encounter obstacles, it is impossible for them to have a long time to think, and they have to pass the ball out at the first time.

It requires them to know where their teammates are, where they are going to run when they attack, and where they should pass the ball.

A tactical system is not a single tactic, that is, there are N tactics to deal with different situations.

After a certain amount of training, the players can become fully familiar with this tactical system.

It is often seen during games that the head coach of an NBA team will pull a few pieces of paper out of his pocket and look at it.

It's because there are so many tactics that sometimes they need to watch them to remember.

After changing the starting lineup, not only the offensive system, but also the defensive system must be changed, whether it is two-three defense or two-one-two defense, or man-to-man, etc.

And most importantly, whether this tactical system can succeed or not depends on the fact that it can be verified by the game to determine whether it is feasible or not.

Finding out the problems in the game, making adjustments to the tactical system, and then verifying it in the game, and then running in, this can really take shape.

Just like many teams make major trades before the season and change the team's starting lineup, although the strength of the team is strong on paper, it generally fluctuates greatly at the beginning of the season, and the team has not yet been successfully run-in.

Even changing the lineup has the potential to lead to the team's failure throughout the season!

It's like the 10-year Heat, teaming up the Big Three, but after 17 games at the beginning of the season, the Heat's record is only 9-8, which makes people fall through the glasses.

In the middle of the season, the team slowly ran in, the tactical system gradually matured, and the Heat's record soared.

However, although the Heat made it to the summary game that year, who is the core of the team, James or Wade? Who gives the ball to when it matters most? It's been bothering the Heat.

In the final moments of the game, the Heat's offensive system fell into chaos and could only rely on singles. It gave the Mavericks the opportunity to stage a comeback many times and won the championship with a total score of 4:2.

It took a season to run in and verify that the Heat finally determined James as the core of the team, which made the Heat's tactical system really take shape and won the championship in the 2011-12 season.

It's like in 2012 when the Lakers acquired Howard and Nash through a trade to form a new "F4" combination.

However, due to run-in and tactical problems, the performance of the new "F4" combination was disappointing, and they were swept by the Spurs with a score of 0:4 in the first round of the playoffs.

In 2013, with Howard's departure, the new "F4" failed.

A stable and mature tactical system is very important for the team!

Zhang Zifeng didn't know what the coach on the sidelines thought, otherwise he would have run over and plead loudly, and then patted his chest and assured that I would definitely make the team better and not make the team chaotic.

It's a pity that he didn't know that he was still continuing to shoot and continue to work hard to get the team's start!
