Chapter 257: They Actually Play Princeton!

Vincent's dispatch of the limit "one big and four small" is really out of helplessness, the height of the Chinese team on the field has made the Philippine team suffer, if it is not for the vigorous performance of Ping Grace in that period, the gap between the two teams will be even greater. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The Philippine team has such a lineup, which really surprised Sun Xiaotian, isn't this looking for death?

"Don't be careless! It's a lineup they've used before, and it's very efficient in scoring. ”

In the face of the adjustment of the Philippine team, Giannakis responded to all changes with the same. However, he also had some worries in his heart. The height of the Chinese team on the field is not said, but if such a strange lineup as the Philippines accelerates with all its might, it will be a big problem for the Chinese team to retreat. Even so, Giannakis is reluctant to follow his opponent's rhythm.

Dohit, the only commanding height of the Philippine team, did not go to the basket too much at this time, but mentioned the top arc and played the role of center in response.

Tenorio held the ball over the half court and handed the ball to Dohit, on the left and right sides of the baseline, Jeff Chen and Norwood slipped to the bottom line and crossed the run, and the new Castro made a cover for Jeff Chen at 45 degrees on the left side. However, Castro's cover was purely an illusion, and taking advantage of the moment when Wang Shipeng stared at Chen Jiefu, he suddenly turned around and ran back, cutting directly to the basket.

Dohit saw the right time, a high lob ball, it was in the hands of Castro, at this time Yi Jianlian's attention under the basket was completely attracted by Tenorio and Norwood on the other side, and he didn't see Castro who cut inside at all.

Castro, who received the ball, easily made a layup and hit!

"The Philippine team's tactical movement just now was very good, and it had the flavor of Princeton's style of play."

The Philippine team's attack just now, although the basketball passed through the hands of three people, if Tenorio is not counted, in fact, it only passed through the hands of Dohit and Castro. Coupled with the habitual distraction of the Chinese team's defense, in the next few rounds, the Philippine team almost copied the same, using the same tactics to play several, scoring points again and again, and returning the Chinese 7-0.

The Philippine team's tactics in these rounds have a taste of Princeton's style of play. Dohit is located in the top arc as a response center, because there is a mid-range shot, so Wang Zhelin, who defends Dohit, does not dare to retreat rashly. The other four members of the Philippine team have no height advantage against the Chinese players, but they have obvious speed advantages, especially Norwood can frequently create gaps when facing Yi Jianlian. The four of them frequently use air cuts to create handroom.

Princeton's motto is "Strong takes advantage of the weak, and smart takes advantage of the strong." The essence of this style of play is "human movement, ball movement, coordination." "Man-to-man refers to moving without the ball, cutting in the air and running back, and ball movement refers to constantly passing and sharing the ball. Among them, the reverse run is the signature of Princeton's style of play.

The "Princeton Style" pays great attention to the four links of "space, timing, observation, and execution". Space refers to the position and distance between players on the field, timing refers to the timing of passing, running, and reversing, observation refers to observing the opponent's defensive position, and execution refers to the execution of basic techniques.

To put it bluntly, Princeton's style of play is to use groups against the enemy to form a 1+1 greater than 2 effect.

……

The Philippine team's use of this style of play is Vincent's intention, and it is also what he calls "teaching students according to their aptitude".

It is recognized that the Philippine team members do not have an advantage in height, and I am afraid that all disciplines will have to explain this reason. Perhaps because height is not dominant, Philippine basketball players are accustomed to using tactical cooperation to weaken their height disadvantage.

In the PBA, many of the biggest names are small defenders who are extremely good at taking advantage of their physical condition. Not only that, in the game, in order to be able to gain a foothold in the league and enable themselves to get space to shoot, tireless reverse runs and air cuts have become commonplace.

As the first professional league in Asia, it is also the oldest professional basketball league outside the NBA. The PBA League's contribution to the Philippine national basketball is unparalleled.

Back then, in order to establish a professional league, Filipinos did not hesitate to break with the National Basketball Association and even FIBA, and were even willing to pay the expensive price of being deprived of the right to participate in international competitions for more than ten years. Nowadays, there is no longer a basketball association in the Philippines, and the PBA is run by the professional league management association.

In order to protect the growth of local players, participating clubs are prohibited from bringing in foreign players who are more than 2.05 meters tall in the league. Moreover, for foreign players participating in the Governor's Cup, the height limit is stricter, and the upper limit of the required height is only 1.95 meters. In the Philippine Cup, foreign players are not allowed to appear at all.

Filipinos in order to play basketball more colorful,

Not only that, but the Filipinos have also invented a lot of "down-to-earth" rules and games, such as the "B6BL League" - a basketball league that is less than 6 feet tall (about 1.83 meters) and does not allow older players to participate.

The efforts of the PBA league have protected the growth of local defenders, so in the Philippine national team squad that participated in the Asian Championships, there are 7 people who have played the guard position in the league before.

Compared with the Chinese team's defenders, the Philippine team's defenders have a very high tactical literacy, and they are good at using speed to fight against the Chinese team. Vincent saw that the Philippine team's defenders had such qualities, so he tailored such a set of tactics for them as a secret weapon against the Chinese team.

Moreover, this tactic had an immediate effect, and the Philippine team gradually caught up with the score by constantly passing and cutting the ball.

At the end of the first quarter, the two teams were tied at 21-18, and the Chinese team's lead was only 3 points.

Of course, the Philippine team has suddenly increased its air cuts and counter-runs during this period of time, which makes the Chinese team really uncomfortable. The lag in thought and action is the main reason why the Chinese team is gradually catching up by the Philippine team.

"Don't be afraid! They're not the Kings, they don't have Webb on them. Giannakis admonished the Chinese team.

The meaning of Yannakis is obvious, the Philippine team played Princeton's tactics inherently insufficient. One of the most important aspects of Princeton's tactics is to have a strong interior command and play with the center. Vincent's appointment of Dosit as the center forward is somewhat difficult for a strong man. However, in addition to Dohit, the Philippines can't find an inside line with height and vision. Therefore, as soon as Dohit came off the court, the Philippine team immediately returned to the previous style of play. (To be continued.) )
