The 76ers all know that this game is not easy to play. With an average age of less than 30, the Kings are almost all at their peak, and they are all extremely athletic players who fit the Princeton system well. They can all run, and they are their strong point in counterattacking fast offense, but on the other hand, the situation is not so good on the 76ers' side.

Tony Kukochi and Tyrone Hill are thirty-two years old after all, although they are at their peak, their vitality is far inferior to the king's group of "children", especially when the opponent is still very strong, Tony Kukochi is tired, and Tyrone Hill went straight to rest. There was no way, the 76ers were short of "population" at the power forward position, and Larry had to play Luke again.

After Luke came to the power forward, he knew that he could not defend him in the way of a power forward, but must defend in the way of a guard, and this "guard" was very tall, half a head taller than Luke, and his arm span was longer, which was very difficult to defend.

After Luke stepped up to play power forward, Reid came to the court as a shooting guard, plus a long-time absent George Lynch, and this is the current lineup of the 76ers.

At this time, the 76ers obeyed Larry's arrangement, "Slow down their speed and let them fight with us in a positional battle!" Larry instructed, "Lock them up with a joint defense, remember that one person has the ball and the people around him go up and grab, wrap the trap, get them as far away from the basket as possible, and gamble on their luck!" And try to let Webb into the box as little as possible, so that he can float outside. ”

Luke nodded after hearing this tactic, this can indeed limit the Princeton system. But Larry and Luke underestimated the Princeton system.

The Princeton system is very focused on counterattacks, but their positional warfare is not bad, and at this time, the Sacramento Kings began to seriously fight positional warfare with them. In fact, to be honest, the Princeton system is really suitable for positional warfare.

The first is to look for a centre-forward. Princeton's offensive strategy is based on giving the ball to the center and then making the center the playmaker. So whether it's in the transition between attack and defense or in the positional attack, the most important thing is to "find the center".

Then start running and responding. This is a test of the player's basketball IQ, the route of the bare hand, the movement of teammates, the route of the defender must be calculated, and the ball must be passed safely without the enemy's sight.

The last is to score, of course you can choose to shoot yourself, but what the Princeton system requires is selflessness, selflessness in passing, learning to share the ball, the ball does not stay in one person's hands for too long, everyone else will pass the ball, they can score, which makes the defenders a lot of headaches, even in a rich team, it is impossible to put players with very good defense in all five positions at the same time, there are always a few positions where the defense is poor, as long as the defenders in your position are not good, they will score. That's how it is with the 76ers now.

Allen's defense is not good, and Jason Williams on the opposite side is also an ankle finisher, Allen can only complete the mutual explosion with the opponent at most, although his attack is stronger, but the whole team can't prevent it, then this is equal to zero. The direct conversation between Luke and Webber was also very unsmooth, Webber's physical fitness was too perverted, and he was more violent than Paul Pierce in the back, and he was said to have forcibly eaten the Lakers' interior line. Now Larry's idea of limiting Webb to the outside is completely shattered. Luke still has some results, at least now Webber is not as unscrupulous as he was at the beginning of the game. Most of them are mid-range shots and passes, and the interior only scores once in a while to remain a threat. But that's still not something the 76ers can afford.

Seeing that the score was about to expand to 20 points, Larry finally couldn't help but call another timeout.

"Coach, that's not going to work." Luke said as he sipped his water.

"Yes," Aaron also answered, "Positional warfare is also good at it, this defense can't be helped." ”

"Ouch......" Larry sighed, shaking his head.

"Otherwise, let's take a different approach." Luke said through gritted teeth.

"How?" Aaron asked.

"Since the Kings can play fast break and position, then let's play fast break too!" Luke said.

"You mean artillery tactics?" Larry's eyes narrowed.

"Yes, now we have no advantage in positional warfare, if we don't change this game now, we will definitely lose, if we run and run, we still have a chance to win!" Luke said.

"Hmm...... I'll think again......" Larry said.

"Coach, I can't think about it anymore, I don't have much time, let's decide." Luke said excitedly.

"yes, Larry, make a decision." Aaron also said.

"yes, coach, I'm just waiting for your words." Reid said.

"Make a decision, Coach!" ……

The other players started talking.

"Alright," Larry said as if he had made a big decision, "we're going to bombard!" ”

"Allen, Aaron (Aaron McGee), you guys go up and play guard, Luke goes up to power forward, Big Ben goes up to center, as for small forward......" Larry glanced at Tony Kukoc, but saw that he still didn't put him on the court, and looked at Reed, but after thinking about it, he was still too short, and decided to give up, and finally he looked at Brian Cardinal at the end of the bench, a player drafted in the second round of this year who rarely played except for preseason and some garbage time, However, he never slackened in his training, and he worked very hard, always taking on the work of the administrator such as cleaning the field and cheering the ball, and was called "administrator". And there is a very good three-point song, the height is also good, the breakthrough is okay, it is suitable for the role of this small forward that the 76ers need now, "Okay, just let him try, give him a chance, see if he can take it." ”

"Alright, Brian Cardinal, it's up to you to decide the small forward!" Larry said.

But Larry's remark shocked the entire 76ers,"

"Teach...... Train...... Coach, are you talking about me? Brian Cardinal said with some surprise.

"That's right, that's you! Get ready to play. Larry said with a smile.

"Yes...... Yes!" Brian Cardinal said excitedly.

Brian Cardinal has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, as a second-round pick he knows that he doesn't have many opportunities to play, and he came to the 76ers, and now the team has four small forwards, and two of the positions are almost unshakable, and it is difficult for him to play. But Bryan Cardinal didn't get frustrated, didn't give up, took on cleaning the pitch every day, cheering the ball up and helping other players do what they could, and now he's finally paying off. But he's not sure if he's going to have the right to shoot now, and he's still not recognized for not scoring.

At this time, someone patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, someone will definitely help you." ”

Brian Cardinal turned around and saw that it was Aaron, and said, "Captain, who are you talking about?" ”

"Luke, of course." Aaron said with a smile.

"Why him?" Brian Cardinal asked.

"Because." Aaron paused, "He chose you." ”
