Chapter 183: A Battle of Two (3)

In fact, Wang Xiaomu has realized the main problem in his team and himself, that is, the lack of tactical literacy.

As an old powerhouse, the Knicks have been hovering in the 7th or 8th place in the playoffs, and the lack of tactical literacy is the biggest drawback and shortcoming.

A team without tactical literacy plays like this: the ball is about to make a mistake! What a mistake for this goal...... this ball still throws!? Sure enough, I didn't make it......

A tactically literate team plays like this: the opponent is pressing tight (is that a good word?). It's going to be a mistake! this ball can still be passed like this! this ball and continue to pass?! The ball is empty again!! It's another three! Hang and beat! it, it seems that the opponent just chased 5 points, and the head coach took a timeout!? Damn, this pause is awesome! It's back to 10 points......

Tactically literate teams tend to be consistent and can even achieve very good results when stars rotate or get injured. The most obvious representatives are the Bulls and Spurs.

The Bulls' ability to win back-to-back victories over tough opponents despite the injury to their number one star, Rose, is a testament to the importance and tactical acumen of team basketball, and the Spurs are widely regarded as the most tactically literate and best-maintained team in the league.

More importantly, how far the playoffs can go is often related to the overall tactical literacy of the team.

Tactical literacy is such a thing, to put it bluntly, it is good to run in position, and to put it bluntly, it is strong tactical execution. The organizer raised his finger, and the 4 people on the field immediately knew how to run, how to get rid of the defender, and ran without hesitation, and for the organizer and coach, know how to interpret the opponent's defense and offense. Know which tactics to use.

Tactical literacy is reflected in defense, but in strain, and in rotation.

Thibodeau's Bulls embody defense. Team defense, everyone spares no effort to pay!

The Spurs, on the other hand, showed that the ball was fully rotated, and everyone was taking the initiative to ask for the ball.

Therefore, the first item that Wang Xiaomu asked to reflect the Knicks' tactical literacy is when anyone gets the ball. Everyone else has to move, watch the ball, and be ready to wait for the ball to get to them.

"In the first half we said that whoever can score high points will have a chance to start in the next game, and I've studied with Coach Woodson and other colleagues about the more scientific scoring method, you just need to be the best you can be and you can play at the highest level. I need you guys to build your confidence when you shoot. You think the ball has to go in! When you're defensive. You have to think you're going to be able to defend the ball! Wang called a long timeout for the team. Carry out your intentions to the players. In the long season of the NBA, it is normal for teams to train and train with battles.

Watch the players come on the pitch with great momentum. Wang Xiaomu put his tactical board aside, and he understood. As long as the coach gives the order, the truly literate team will immediately be able to play the assigned defense, the bag in place, the right rotation, and run out of the designed offensive line without missing a step. It's like a well-trained army, where the commander commands.

But it's the result of the usual training. In some teams, the coach called a timeout but it didn't work, it's not that the players didn't want to play, because there wasn't enough training and they couldn't execute it effectively.

Wang Xiaomu actually pays attention to the cultivation of tactics at ordinary times, but after all, the Knicks are a team dominated by a new army, and the general tactics can still be tried, but when it comes to slightly complex tactics, everyone is a little frowned. What's more, the team has two unreasonable freaks who also score, Cameron and Stoudemire, which adds to the tactical difficulties out of thin air.

In all fairness, many of the fans who come to watch the game are pseudo-fans, that is, they don't come to see the reasonable and unreasonable, but to see their favorite stars to have a convulsion. It's like Maddy's 35 seconds, Kobe Bryant's 81 points, there are reasonable factors, but they can just become classics.

Wang Xiaomu's definition of the team is to have both regular play and convulsions. So when the star is in crazy form, he will let him shoot more, and when everyone is in average form, he will ask the players to pour the ball more.

In the third quarter, the starting centers of both teams were a little tired, and Howard only came on lazily in the 6th minute. But the Knicks' bench was clearly a bandit, and they scored 20 points in the first six minutes of the third quarter, forcing Big Van Gundy to send his main force on the line.

"Obviously, the Knicks are in better shape at the moment, and the second team played the Magic 20-8 on the court. In fact, the data shows that the Knicks are a third-quarter team, and often they already know their fate in the third quarter, either they pull their opponents down by 20 points, or they are pulled down by their opponents by 20 points. The commentator on the sidelines teased.

The Magic's play in the first half of the second half did dig a deep hole for themselves, and even if Magic Howard chased the points hard, the two teams only maintained a tie. To say that this draw was not easy to come by, if Wang Xiaomu hadn't given Oden a promise, Howard might have collapsed long ago.

As early as before the start of the game, Auden directly told Wang Xiaomu that he wanted to face off with the monster and compete face-to-face. Therefore, Coach Wang Xiaomu gave up the wheel battle and completely handed over the Warcraft to the uncle.

Judging from the first 30 minutes, the uncle performed well, and he was relatively successful in curbing Howard's play. As the No. 1 center in the league, Howard only scored 10 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks. And Warcraft has not finished in the third quarter of this game, and has already committed 4 fouls.

What's worse is that Oden attacked this time and won the referee's whistle again.

"Oh, no, it can't be!" The head coach yelled at the referee from the sidelines, and the ball was awarded a foul on the defender's beater, and Howard was one step away from graduating early because of the ball that he had already committed five fouls.

The referee can ignore the head coach's complaints, and even signal that if Big Van Gundy is BB again, he will directly award a technical foul and make two free throws.

Big Van Gundy, who kept his mouth shut, could only replace his biggest card with anger in his heart and wait for the miracle of the substitutes.

Howard's downfall was obviously worse for the Magic, who had fallen behind by 16 points, Wang Xiaomu did not replace Oden, but used his height and skill on the court, frequently signaling the defender to hit the ball inside, and eating the Magic with height and strength.

The players and coaches of the Magic are not to mention how awkward they are, thinking that back then, this was their trick to clean up others, but they didn't think that feng shui took turns, and they also had the tragic fate of returning the other.
