Chapter 429: The Strongest Strategy, Chris Webb

(Ask for a commuter pass)

"Coach, I really didn't expect that our triangular offensive tactics, which are only half-finished, could have such an effect."

In a café at a high-end hotel in Sacramento, Stephen Green smiled at the Chinese in front of him with a freshly baked newspaper this morning, and the Chinese only smiled slightly after listening to the Boston Celtics assistant coach, and then took a sip of the coffee in front of him.

"It's normal, haven't they been looking forward to it for a long time?" Zhuang Fei put down the coffee cup in his hand and said with some playfulness, if Zhuang Fei used the triangle attack before the Christmas War, then the ratings of the Christmas War Zhuang Fei would never think that he would lose to the battle between Jordan and Carter, the discussion about which of Zhuang Fei's triangle offense and Phil Jackson's triangle offense is stronger is actually in essence who is stronger in 1996 Wake Forest or 1996 Chicago Bulls, this is an inconclusive judgment in the hearts of both experts and fans in the American basketball world, With the recent rise of Duncan and Carter and others, there are more and more people who think that the Wake Forest is stronger than the Chicago Bulls, but there is no evidence, and now Zhuang Fei is here to provide them with some evidence, although it is not the so-called direct evidence, but it is enough to make these people crazy, this is the answer they have been looking forward to for five or six years. Therefore, Zhuang Fei picked up the triangle offense again in the last game, and it became the focus and headline of all sports media in the United States on the second day, and even these media are already looking forward to the next battle between the Lakers and the Celtics.

"It's just that the next game may disappoint them. Because our team has not honed the triangle offense into shape" Looking at Zhuang Fei's indifferent attitude, Stephen Green has also become a little more relaxed, the team's tactical system is now built by him, and the outside world's attention or affirmation of the team system is naturally also an affirmation of him, so this assistant coach is actually quite happy.

"It can't be said that what they need is a gimmick, and they don't care too much about what is inside this gimmick. As long as our results don't show up, it's good to play a slippery slope," Zhuang Fei shook his head with a wry smile after listening to Stephen Green's words. Originally, the media has been chasing Jordan and Carter recently, and now it seems that the Boston Celtics will be in the spotlight again, which is a trouble that Zhuang Fei didn't expect.

"Hmm. If that's the case, it's really a bit of trouble, we wanted to keep a low profile, but we couldn't keep a low profile," Stephen Green also shook his head, not a little helpless.

"yes, we're trying to hide down or behind it. They alone will always carry all of us to the front, and some teams want to stand in front but don't have this opportunity" When Zhuang Fei said this, he suddenly thought of the next opponent of the Boston Celtics, the Sacramento Kings, after Zhuang Fei's Timberwolves disbanded, this team is already one of the most gorgeous teams in the league, and the style of play of this team is definitely no worse than the Mavericks led by White Chocolate and Nowitzki. And in terms of results, this team based on the Princeton system is now ranked third in the West, not much different from the Lakers who are first in the West and the Timberwolves who are second.

It's just surprising that compared to the results of this team, the popularity of this team is not very good, and this team in the United States seems to be completely unpopular. It's just that when Zhuang Fei finished the previous sentence, Stephen Green in front of him directly gave him a roll of the eyes. In the assistant coach's mind, he was thinking: If it weren't for you, how could the team be so attention-grabbing? It's just that this assistant coach didn't say what was in his heart. …,

Now the outside world is very concerned about the Boston Celtics' triangle offense, although this has caused some difficulties for Zhuang Fei and them, but Zhuang Fei and Stephen Green have not taken these difficulties too seriously, compared with the pressure created by these people, Sacramento will create more trouble for the Boston Celtics.

The King's Princeton is now very sophisticated. After all, Adelman has been coaching this team for nearly four years, and it can be said that in these four years, the strength of the Kings has been moving forward bit by bit, and even improving by leaps and bounds every year, but this team has a natural enemy in the previous years, a natural enemy they have never defeated, if the Utah Jazz in the last game hated Zhuang Fei very deeply. Then compared to the Utah Jazz, this kind of hatred is deeper than the Sacramento Kings, and even this team has an extreme fear of Zhuang Fei.

Have they lost to Zhuang Fei more than a dozen or twenty in a row? They can't remember clearly, anyway, this team has never won against him since Zhuang Fei came to the NBA, and Princeton's offensive system is also restrained by the interior combination of Garnett and Xiao Ao and is completely unable to exert its power, Garnett and Xiao Ao have excellent movement ability, excellent defensive awareness and excellent defense are Princeton's natural enemies, and there is really nothing that can be done about this natural enemy of this team.

It's just that the difference in previous years is that this year's Zhuang Fei no longer has Garnett and Xiao Ao at the same time, which is too important for the Kings, for the current Kings, a Garnett or a Little Ao has no way to restrain them, not long ago the King used Princeton tactics to defeat the Timberwolves, and at the same time, it also made his team end the more than a dozen consecutive defeats with the Timberwolves after a lapse of four years, Now this kind of Kings team also hopes to get back from Zhuang Fei after defeating the Timberwolves, Adelman is desperately hoping that his team can get back the confidence that the team lost in Zhuang Fei and the Timberwolves, when the Kings regain these confidences, Adelman also believes that this team will beat all the teams in the league, and the team will be able to attack the final championship.

So in the pre-game press conference before this game, Zhuang Fei always felt that Adelman was staring at him, and even the head coach of the Kings said every word to Zhuang Fei when he spoke before the game, of course, most of these words meant that Zhuang Fei was going to be defeated in this game. Obviously, Adelman has the confidence that Zhuang Fei, who no longer has the inside combination of Garnett and Xiao Ao, is confident that he will win, although Zhuang Fei used to beat him very badly, but he will not think that Zhuang Fei will defeat the king with Xiao Ao alone, not to mention Xiao Ao, even Garnett alone has not done it this season, he doesn't believe that the Boston Celtics can find another Garnett and Xiao Ao to partner. It's just that Zhuang Fei doesn't have any refutation of all this about Adelman, and there is also not much explanation. It's just that the whole time is accompanied by a smiling face, and no one knows what this 'cunning' Chinese is thinking.

"Hmph, three inside lineups? That's it."

When Adelman saw Zhuang Fei's lineup, he thought with some disdain. Without two interior players like O's and Garnett, there is no way to really block the basket and the restricted area, so there is no way to really restrain Princeton's counterruns and cuts, and it is a good decision to stuff people under the basket or shrink the defense at this time. In the first round of the playoffs in 1999, the immature king at that time was played to death by Zhuang Fei's shrinking defense, the king couldn't run back after the Timberwolves contracted, and the pass in the three-point line was also gone because the number was too dense, and because of Garnett's existence, their cut was gone, and the last king could only be forced to shoot three points outside, and what made the king even more tragic at that time was that their three-point shot at that time was too miserable, So in the end, it was swept by Zhuang Fei and the Timberwolves, and it was also in that round of the series. Zhuang Fei's words of 'I'm already thinking about the next opponent' have become classics, and he and his king have been nailed to Zhuang Fei's book of shame forever, and Adelman remembers this humiliation clearly. …,

"The current Kings are not going to be able to put a bunch of people under the basket and I'm going to ask you to send back all the things you took from us in this game," Adelman thought as he looked at the young Russian forward who replaced Jackson on the court, and the Kings head coach was full of confidence.

Only finally when the game actually plays. The head coach of the Kings was really stunned, especially when he saw Yao Ming sitting under the basket, and Xiao Ao and Kirilenko were separated from each other, sweeping all the areas below the Timberwolves free throw line. Before this game, he didn't think that the Russian kid would respond to such a strong defensive and defensive ability, and the movement speed was even more against the sky than Garnett, he and Xiao Ao plus Yao Ming basically occupied all the areas in the free throw line, and even the current Kings of Princeton had no way to hit the ball below the free throw line. It can be said that the King's backrun and inward cut are tragic again, and even the three-point shot that Adelman is extremely proud of has become a little difficult to shoot under the crazy sweep of Maddy and James Posey at the free throw line.

The current Boston Celtics are covering the whole court defensively. Of course, the Boston Celtics once again restrained the King's Princeton offense, which also made the team have to rely on McBibby and Chris Webber's blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation again, but a little more favorable for the Kings is that the Boston Celtics' offense is really bad, Zhuang Fei's offense in this game is still a triangle offense, after Kirilenko replaced Jackson, the team's triangle offensive tactics have dropped a notch again, Although Jackson has no way to compare with Kirilenko in terms of defensive range, his tactical ability on the offensive end is not comparable to this young Russian player, so this makes the Boston Celtics never able to pull the score away, and the two teams have been very anxious on the score, and when the game reached the seventh minute, Zhuang Fei removed the team's center Yao Ming and replaced the team's guard Jackson, Zhuang Fei is ready to play conventional offensive tactics, and after Yao Ming is off the court, Xiao Ao and Kirilenko's defense can still restrain Princeton's offense, it can be said that the defensive range and ability of these two people are not much worse than the Timberwolves' former combination of Xiao Ao and Garnett.

"Well, it's a bit of a surprise to see Princeton for the first time," Zhuang Fei said to the stunned player as he looked at Yao Ming next to him with some shock as he looked at the king on the court.

"Well, I think this king's tactics are so similar to our team's triangle offense?" After hearing Zhuang Fei's question, Yao Ming also woke up slightly, and then asked with some doubts.

"It's very similar, in fact, the triangle offense and Princeton are originally the same root" Zhuang Fei smiled and nodded, Yao Ming is not the first to think so, four years ago, the head coach of the Jazz Sloan mistakenly regarded a Princeton match played by the Timberwolves at that time as a triangle offense match, but there is a big difference between these two routines, Princeton pursues selflessness, and the triangle offense is the most selfless after the singles are not good, the triangle offense has one more step than Princeton, that is, the team's offensive core is alone, When the offensive core can't do it alone and starts to attack the rest of the team, it becomes another system that is very similar to Princeton, and then both systems are based on passing, running and cutting, so they are also very similar in routines.

"I really didn't expect this" Yao Ming shook his head with a wry smile after being a little stunned, one source but out of two different directions, one is absolutely selfless team cooperation, and the other is above the team.

"Da Yao, you can take a good look at how Webber responds to the ball now, you can take a good look at how he seizes the timing and route of the pass now, at this point you can copy him or learn from him" Zhuang Fei looked at Yao Ming, who was a little surprised, and said with a smile, while Yao Ming nodded.

What surprised Yao Ming a little was that Chris Webber's strategy was basically the same as his passing strategy when he was a triangle offensive tactic, which made Yao Ming believe that Zhuang Fei just said that Princeton and the triangle attack were of the same origin, and Yao Ming also watched Chris Webber from the sidelines to slowly become fascinated, and then fell into it.

Zhuang Fei on the side also nodded with a smile when he saw Yao Ming like this, sometimes it is useless for some players with high ball intelligence to say too much to them, only when they are immersed in the scene can they feel something that they will never touch.

Zhuang Fei desperately hoped that Yao Ming could learn something from Weber. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
