Chapter 101: California Schedule (6)
Run-and-gun tactics are both simple and difficult tactics.
It's simple because as long as you exercise, this style of play is successful, and the difficulty is how to really play well.
The so-called "running and bombing" refers to a kind of basketball tactical thinking that takes high-speed and smooth rotation movement as the main tactical feature, emphasizes the speed of offensive and defensive conversion, and partially sacrifices the offensive and defensive ability of the half-court position. In the NBA, the bombardment tactics are the most prominent in the Suns in the 05-06 season, and the run-and-bomb tactics have a lot to do with the old Nelson, although he did not invent it, but as we all know, the run-and-bomb tactics were carried forward by the old Nelson. He also took this tactic to the pinnacle.
Of course, it is undeniable that there is also a very good way to bombard the tactics with one person on this planet, and that is D'Antoni. He and Nelson Sr.'s run-and-gun tactics split the shelling tactics into two factions.
Old Nelson's run-and-gun is one word – crazy. One big belt and four small are his tactical thinking. As early as the 90s of the last century, the Warriors had such a set-up: Tim Hardaway, Richmond, Mullin, Teague, Higgins, the average height of the five is only 1.94 meters, of which Higgins, who is known as the "center", is only 2.01 meters. This is the "running and bombing" advocated by the old Nelson. Such a strange system has finally achieved the famous name of "TMC Group".
How crazy are they? This is a question that many people want to ask. Let's take an example, the tactics of the Warriors team that created the Black Eight Miracle in 2007 were just that. How would you describe the team's tactics? Larry Riley, then head coach of the Warriors, had the answer: "The perfect game for this team is that there is no strategy. ”
Some people like to describe the Warriors' fast break as running all over the court, and it's no surprise because it seems to be. Whether the opponent scores or not, the Warriors will run, Byron Davis or someone else will push forward at high speed with the ball, and the rest of his teammates will follow, the opponent will not know where the Warriors' offensive focus is, but the truly knowledgeable outsiders have seen that every Golden State Warrior has reached the designated position: if the opponent spreads defense, Davis rushes inside, and if the opponent keeps an eye on the handler, the outside has a chance. "Others thought we were running around, but everybody knew where they were supposed to stand," Riley said. ”
Running, positioning and shooting are the essence of Nellieball, but of course, you'll also need some all-around players and at least one star with incredible attacking power. In the 2007 Warriors, Byron Davis was the star, when the Warriors had to fall into the half of the court to attack, the old Nelson what he wanted to see the most was Davis holding the ball alone, either breaking through or shooting.
How many sets of half-court offensive tactics did the Warriors have at that time? "We have six sets of tactics, the average NBA team has about 25 sets, and we do have a lot less than them," Nelson said. ”
The 2007 Warriors were tailor-made for Nellieball, and in addition to Byron Davis, Barnes, Harrington, Jason Richardson, Stephen Jackson and Petrus were all all-around players who could handle the ball, shoot three-pointers, and dunk. They had never played basketball like this in the NBA, and Barnes said at the time, "We enjoyed the freedom that we never had, and I talked to players from other teams and they all said they liked the way they played." To be able to play under Neely and to play like that is a dream for any player. ”
There is also a run-and-gun tactic that belongs to D'Antoni, to Nash, and to the Suns - "7 seconds or less".
The central idea of this tactic is to complete an attack in about 7 seconds on average. That is to say, it takes 7 seconds to dribble from his backcourt to the frontcourt and complete the shot, or even 7 seconds, so that the camera engineer complains that he can't keep up with the offensive rhythm of the two teams.
Why did the Suns choose such a tactic at the time? Because they have the best offensive guard on the planet – Steve Nash. Nash couldn't defend too well due to his body, so running and shooting became their best option.
The Suns have the best engine and then a bunch of speed stars, and the Suns are in shape. Pioneered the use of small-ball tactics in the playoffs. If it weren't for the fact that the Suns were in the West, and the Spurs had "messed up" the Suns players in a dirty way several times in a row (once Parker directly broke Nash's nose, and another time when Duncan hugged Nash, and Xiao Si was banned in anger and lost), the Suns might have entered the Finals early, or even won the championship long ago.
But now neither of these tactics is well suited to the current situation of the 76ers.
Compared to the Suns in 06-07, the 76ers don't have as good an "engine" as you, although Allen has a high basketball IQ and a very good passing, but he is still not selfless to the extent of Nash, and he can't run at all without a selfless point guard Sun-like run.
And the old Nelson's version is even more irritating. Madness is not something that every team can succeed in. Old Nelson's method is to drive himself crazy first, and then drive the enemy crazy, but in fact, he hurts himself first and then the enemy (like a seven-wound fist), and if he doesn't do it, he will end up together. Furthermore, Nelson Sr.'s tactics require all players to be three-pointers, but in the 76ers, Big Ben's three-point ...... Uh, did he shoot a three-pointer? I don't know. So general tactics simply don't work.
It can't be helped, and Larry doesn't care. Only Luke himself figured it out. Luke is not a god now, and it is impossible to come up with a solution in an instant, so he comes up with a compromise.
He called all his teammates who were going to play to his side and said to them: "Now everyone is fighting against the water, everyone must show their own strength." In this way, Aaron and Aaron are responsible for possession of the ball at the back, and then attack after going to the frontcourt; I was on either side of Brian Cardinal and I was ready to take the pass and then break or attack, preferably to foul, whoever it was, it was good. Big Ben, I'm going to suffer you this time, you're going to be in charge of all the defenses on the inside, and you're going to be in charge of rebounding, and I basically don't come in when I'm on offense, so I'm going to give you the task of grabbing rebounds. And we're going to attack very fast, so you're going to have to waste a lot of energy on switchbacks. ”
"No problem, I haven't used up my power for a long time." Big Ben showed his 12 white teeth and his muscles again.
"Brian, you're under a lot of pressure this time, and the players across from you are very good." Luke looked at Brian Cardinal. "Don't worry, I'll do my best to prevent him." Brian Cardinal said.
"No, I want to blow him up in the attack! That's all that matters! Luke corrected.
"Yes, I'll blow him up!" Brian Cardinal yelled.
"That's what you want!" Luke said, "Good brothers, let's play!" ”
“go!” The 76ers started the final quarter.
