Chapter 294: Let's Look at the Three Minutes of Rain

The essence of Princeton's tactics is "man movement, ball movement, coordination". Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Human movement is movement without the ball, air cutting and reverse running.

This is also emphasized in other tactics, but it does not take "human movement" as the core of the core like the Princeton tactic.

And the reverse run is the signature of Princeton's tactics.

Ball movement refers to passing the ball and sharing the ball without stopping.

This is first based on the first point of "human movement", and secondly, everyone is required to have a good passing ability, once the opportunity is made, the ball can be immediately in place, and the defender does not have the opportunity to adjust the defense at all.

Among them, there is also a very important point, which is easy to overlook, that is, everyone must have a good finishing ability, otherwise they will run out of chances, get the ball, and can't throw into the basket, which is all for nothing.

The reason why when you think of the Kings is that you think of the Princeton Tactics, and when you mention the Princeton Tactics, you think of the Kings because they have taken this tactic to the extreme, and they are as famous as Phil Jackson's "triangle tactics".

Later, Adelman went to the Rockets, and the Rockets also played Princeton tactics, but not as good as the Kings.

In the final analysis, no matter how good the tactics are, in the end, it is up to people to execute them.

On the offensive end, Princeton's tactics are theoretically impossible to defend, but its requirements for players are also very demanding.

First of all, you need to have a center forward who is very good at passing the ball, who can spot opportunities in time, and who can pass the ball comfortably to his teammates in time.

This is not so simple, you need far more than passing ability, because when you pass the ball, you also have to face the opponent's strict defense, which requires the center to have a certain ability to break through with the ball, and the ability to shoot from the middle distance, so that the opponent will neither dare to stick up to defend, nor dare to shrink to the basket to defend the defense.

Secondly, the outside players must have a good three-point shooting.

Since Princeton's tactics emphasize air cuts and counterruns, the opponent will of course guard the three-second zone, and only by using the three-point threat from the outside to open up the space will the defender take care of one or the other.

The Kings fit the bill.

Webber has always been their interior fulcrum, when the opponent implements man-to-man tactics, or even substitution defense, the Kings' offense, of course, is not so easy to run out of the vacancy, at this time, Webb's single strong attack has become the King's killer feature.

And Webb's passing ability, in the NBA's interior line, can be described as one of the best, between wrapping him and letting him play alone, which one to choose is poison.

In previous years, their center was Divac, and although O'Neal complained about his fake falls, his mid-range shooting and passing were probably one of the best among the centers.

Miller, who replaced Divac, except for being a few centimeters shorter, is almost a copy of Divac.

Let's take a look at the three players on the outside of the Kings, Stojakovic, Christie and Bibby.

Stojakovic is a notorious three-point shooter, a two-time three-point contest champion in 2002 and 2003, and the Kings' most trusted scorer from the outside.

Christie, on the other hand, is a standard "3-and-D" player who can be used to limit the opposing swingman and open up space for attack.

Although Bibby is not a star-level point guard, he can both burst and shoot, and his three-point ability is also the highest among all point guards in the NBA, and it is almost a perfect fit in the Kings' tactical system.

The perfect configuration of personnel is the fundamental reason why the Kings have taken Princeton's tactics to the extreme.

Therefore, Butler, a good defensive player, also seems a little helpless in the face of Stojakovic.

Stick it up, he suddenly ran back, and Butler had nothing to do but foul.

If you don't stick it up, he's two meters and six meters tall, and he throws the ball when he catches it, and Butler can only pray to God, hoping that he won't feel too good tonight.

Fortunately, before the game, Butler was mentally prepared, and was made a backrun layup by Stojakovic, and he was not frustrated, and immediately ran to the front court when he saw the ball go in.

The game had just begun, and Odom, who picked up the basketball, did not hesitate at all, and directly came to a fast baseline.

Lu Xiaofeng rushed up after receiving the ball, since the inside line was not dominant, of course he chose to attack quickly.

And the players of the Kings must have done their homework, and they had expected the Lakers' rapid offense, and all five of them quickly turned around and ran to the opposite half.

Therefore, when Lu Xiaofeng ran all the way and rushed to the three-point line, although he had left Bibby behind, Webb was already waiting to block him in the three-second zone.

However, Lu Xiaofeng did not mean to forcibly challenge Weber, he kept at his feet, still rushing to the basket, but the basketball in his hand had already flown out to the left.

Butler's aggressive movement paid off when he was empty outside the three-point line on the left!

Butler received the ball and shot, and Stojakovic, who caught up, hurriedly flew to block, but he didn't expect Butler to feint, he put the ball away, waited for Stojakovic to fly over, and then dribbled to the right and took a step, and immediately jumped and shot.

Under the basket, Lu Xiaofeng was already entangled with Weber, ready to scramble for rebounds.

This routine is already very familiar to the Lakers' players, so Butler did not hesitate and shot very confidently.

Because he believes that even if he doesn't score, Lu Xiaofeng will grab the rebound, and even if he can't grab it, he will shoot the ball out, so what else is there to worry about?

Sure enough, success comes from self-confidence, and Butler's three-point hollow net lived up to his long practice.

"Caron! Good shot! ā€

Lu Xiaofeng, who had been arguing with Webb for a long time under the basket, turned around and gave him a thumbs up.

Butler also gave a thumbs up and smiled, and the little depression that had just been attacked by Stojakovich disappeared in one fell swoop.

The king still fought their positional warfare.

This time, Stojakovic is not so easy to get rid of Butler, who has just scored a goal, is hot in his heart!

However, the king still found an opportunity, and this time it was Lu Xiaofeng who missed people.

Bibby didn't dribble much, and when he got to the frontcourt, he gave it to Christie, and then Christie gave it to Webb, who was in the middle position.

Webb took the ball and made a gesture to single Odom, while the others didn't stop to watch.

Christie suddenly ran to the top of the arc, blocking Lu Xiaofeng at once, and Bibby took the opportunity to cut to the basket.

Kobe Bryant's reaction was fast enough, and he immediately changed his guard and chased after Bibby.

But at this time, there was a scene of tacit understanding.

Lu Xiaofeng did not immediately change the defense of Christie, but chased to the basket, and when he realized that something was wrong, he quickly turned around and wrapped Webb, and was about to cut off his pass, it was too late.

Christie crept back into the bottom corner, and Webb's pass was on point.

Christie made a decisive shot and hit a three-point shot.

At 8:5, just over a minute after the game began, it rained three points on the field.
