Chapter 187: Tribulation
In the huge basketball hall, the UCLA starters are playing a confrontation game with the substitute players, of course, games like this are mainly for positional warfare drills and looking for loopholes in the team's defense, Larsson keeps directing the players in the court to intersperse the running positions and looks a little anxious, while the assistant coach on the side is constantly evolving on the tactical board, recording the players' change of position!
"Taylor, you've been moving back and forth at a 45-degree angle of the right three-point line, don't let the opposing small forward out of your sight, Malcolm, when you get the ball past the midfield, you immediately slip into the inside from the low corner of the left three-point line, ready to step forward at any time!" Larsson asked the players to stop the offense and began to set up his new tactics, which was a decision made by Larsson after thinking about it for a long time, and the smooth return of Honeycutt's team also made the implementation of the new tactics more idealistic, of course, the ultimate benefit of this tactic is our Winnie the Pooh, which strengthens his shooting times and shooting percentage from the outside!
This set of tactics was born from the Timberwolves in the Garnett era, called the 4-turn tactic, by Luo Yun, who served as the No. 1 position, took the ball to the front court and chose to break through from the left three-point line 45 degrees outside the three-point line and look for a passing space, at this time, UCLA's two major interior lines were all pulled to the free throw line near the position, the was a little lower on the left side of the free throw line, and the Gordon hero stood in the high post ready to cover Luo Yun, and at the same time, after Luo Yun came to the left three-point line, Malcolm, who was ambushed under the basket, immediately ran back from the inside to the perimeter at a 45-degree angle to receive Luo Yun's pass! Next, our little guy has to go around Gordon after passing the ball and then insert himself into the free throw line to the front of the penalty area!
Malcolm got the ball and immediately made a move to prepare to shoot, and at this moment the had to stick the opponent's power forward behind him, and the little guy came to the low post and immediately ran back to the outside 45-degree angle. Of course, you'll have to wait until Malcolm is ready to pass the ball before you can act! The old man said as he ran around the pitch explaining to the players. In fact, this set of tactics still sounds more cumbersome, but the advantage is that it can make the opponent dizzy in positional warfare. Once successful, UCLA will get 2-3 open shots, one is Winnie the Pooh at a 45-degree angle outside the left three-point line, and the other is Malcolm who pulls to the bottom of the right three-point corner! Or Honeycutter who can get rid of the defense and get to the top of the three-point arc!
However, many people here will ask, isn't Malcolm holding the ball on the left side? Weishenme will be pulled to the bottom corner of the three points on the right, but don't worry that our Winnie the Pooh will explain it to you, in fact, the most critical point of this tactic is in the and Winnie the Pooh, a qualified power forward in addition to excellent rebounding and mid-range shooting also has a beautiful response ability, which is the best in the NBA is Shi Buddha and Wolf King, but although our rebounds well, the mid-range shooting is really bad, but his passing vision is okay. That's why Larson made such a decision! It has been mentioned earlier that Malcolm who passed the ball back from the penalty area and ran back, and at this moment Luo Yun will come to the low position to stand, but Malcolm who takes the ball is just pretending to attack to attract defense, what he really has to do is to give the ball to the below the free throw line and then run to where Honeycutter is, on the contrary, the rookie needs to run to the top of the three-point arc, so that there will be 1-2 open shooting opportunities and then pull the opponent's defense away, At the same time, Loyun can go from behind Gordon to a 45-degree angle outside the three-point line the moment Malcolm starts to avoid a collision with Malcolm!
With the three perimeter players in their respective positions almost in a matter of seconds, all Gordon needs to do is be ready to scramble for rebounds. You can imagine what happens to the opposing team defending with cumbersome runs and unexpected passes, and it's better to be dizzy. If it's bad, it's stupid, just wait to be shot!
Of course, the most fatal weakness of this tactic is the position where the is located, Winnie the Pooh needless to say that he can get rid of the opponent's defense regardless of whether he has the ball or without the ball, but it does not rule out unexpected situations, and the is different, he lacks the ability to shoot in the middle distance, and he lacks offensive means, once he is blocked from the passing route, he can only let Gordon give up the basket, so the suddenness and change of this tactic in the running position are very important, but once successful, the power should not be underestimated!
Larson did this for two reasons, one is to strengthen UCLA's outside offensive firepower and the other is to improve Loyun's three-point shooting percentage in the game, of course, by the way, bring Malcolm and Honeycutt, because Loyun is about to face the draft, his Chinese status and 23 consecutive double-doubles make his draft ranking close to Kyrie Irving, although Larson knows that Loyun can now be ranked seventh in the first round in the prediction, but he is not reconciled, Because both he and the fans think that Winnie the Pooh is at least in the top 3 in the first round, and should not be ranked 7th! The identity of Chinese can bring him huge commercial value, but it can also bring great disadvantages to his draft ranking, Asian physical fitness, this is the best magic weapon for the sports media to criticize Luo Yun now, and the other is his three-point shot, because a point guard does not have a beautiful three-point shot, it is really a little unreasonable!
In terms of physical fitness, Larson won't say anything now, because he has Luo Yun's annual physical test report in his hand, and if he takes it out, it will definitely shock everyone, but he is unwilling to do it, because once the secret is revealed, it will inevitably be used by some well-intentioned people, and he needs Luo Yun to prove it himself, and make those who criticize him speechless in the physical test center!
The other is a three-point shot, according to Larson's observation that Luo Yun's three-point shooting rate has actually been rapidly improving, but because of habitual problems, he rarely uses outside offensive means such as three-point shots in the game, and more often uses mid-range pull-up jump shots and scores under the basket, of course, this is also because he was affected by the answer, but all this is not an excuse, Larsson needs Luo Yun to shoot more three-pointers in the game, and gradually become familiar with the shooting rhythm outside the three-point line, After all, even if your shooting rate off the court is 100%, but if you can't shoot a single shot on the court, it doesn't matter, he wants Luo Yun not to have a psychological burden and boldly shoot three points!
As long as Luo Yun can liberate his three-point shot that he has been practicing hard for a long time in the next game, his draft ranking will definitely rise again, because when Yao Ming's injury seriously affects his career, the NBA urgently needs a Chinese American to stand up and stabilize the Chinese market, and the big forward Yi Jianlian from China obviously can't carry this banner, although his physical fitness is already very good among Asians, but the style of play has been floating outward, and his influence is not enough! As for the talented student at Harvard, that kid obviously hasn't adapted to the rhythm of the NBA, and Stern will definitely not bet on him, but Larson obviously doesn't know that this Chinese kid who is unknown in the NBA will blow a huge basketball storm in the United States a year later, making many people stunned!
But I have to admit that at this time, Winnie the Pooh is definitely Stern's first choice to stabilize the Chinese market, and Liang Haode's own image and excellent basketball skills have made him a household name in the United States! And Luo Yun also has the majority of female fans as the backing, such a boy is like a gold and silver mine for Stern, and everyone who sees it is greedy! (Although Vera's incident made Luo Yun fall off the altar, in the hearts of fans, Winnie the Pooh is still the same as before, the younger guy is not very old, and it is normal for him to have emotional deviations, and compared to most American boys, Luo Yun is already very good)
This is Larsson's second purpose, after all, once he enters the NBA, there will be no more pure basketball, although Luo Yun only wants to win the NCAA championship, but the people who care about him are also beginning to plan a way back for him, of course, if he wins the championship, it must be better, if he can't win the championship, then where should Luo Yun go, was selected by the fish belly team to become a tool to make money or was selected by the giants to become the successor, these questions flashed in Larson's mind one by one, But in the end, he found that as long as he entered the NBA, his fate was no longer in the hands of Winnie the Pooh, and everything could only be left to fate, but Larson also knew that there was no way to break this state, but it was too difficult and too difficult! Because even if the answer is such a legend, it can only leave Philadelphia sadly!
How to change your destiny, only strength, this is an eternal truth, no matter where in which bad environment is the case, as long as you have the strength to make changes to your destiny!
However, the current Luo Yun is obviously not good, because he is still too far away!
In the arena, Luo Yun carried out the tasks assigned to him by Larsson one after another, the three-point shot kept shooting in his hand, and the sound of thumping iron made his face even more ugly, but Winnie the Pooh was not discouraged, because he had the goal he worked hard for, even if he fought to Zuihou for a moment, he did not hesitate!
However, at this time, Luo Yun obviously didn't know that a new ordeal was slowly kicking off in front of him, even if he hadn't even overcome the current difficulties!
Larson couldn't help but sigh as he watched Luo Yun sweat in the arena, the little guy's first goal after entering the NCAA is to help the team reach the round of 64 and get Collison a high pick, and the second goal is to surpass the results of the Collison era during his tenure as captain, he has done both of them, and then he not only has to complete a seemingly impossible addition, but also face a huge test, is a person's success really accompanied by many tribulations? Or when he chose basketball, this path was already doomed! (To be continued......)
