Chapter 184: Discussion of Tactical Issues

"Coach, I remember in 1962, Kansas coach Tykes Winter published a book called 'TheBestofBasketballFromScholasticCoach,' I wonder if you still have any impressions?" Junxin asked.

"You're referring to the TheTriangularSidelineSeries article, right?!" Coach Pique asked affirmatively. Tex-Winter is just one of the many authors of that book who co-authored the paper, which translated into Chinese means Sideline Triangle Offensive Tactics, or Triangle Offense for short.

"Well, that's it, triangle offensive tactics." Junxin said affirmatively.

"Do you mean we're going to play a triangle offense?" Coach Pique asked hesitantly, not sure if it was a good idea. Because no matter how the triangle offense is transformed, the key to the core is to give the strongest players on the team to play strongly. This tactic was carried forward by Phil Jackson in the future, and it was successful with the Bulls and Lakers. It is also the tactical system of Phil Jackson, who has won eleven championships.

"Of course not!" Junxin denied, "At least not all! ”

"Tell me about it." Coach Pique was confused at this moment, he was not too used to Junxin's way of speaking.

Seeing this, Junxin said bluntly: "When I studied the two major systems of Triangle Offense and Princeton, I found a very interesting thing: Princeton and Triangle Offense have extremely similar tactical positions. Whether it's passing, playing, or running, there is a lot of similarity, but the difference is that Princeton's tactic is to attack through the enemy's back door in a constant run. The triangle offense is to tear the defender apart and hand it over to the strongest player. ”

"I wondered what would happen if I combined these two tactics? Both the Triangle Offense and Princeton have a center who can pass the ball, which is an advantage in our team. ”

"But doesn't this weaken the organizational role of the number one position? Isn't the position of the players on the basketball court all messed up? ”

"The role of the No. 1 position is not necessary, so the role of the No. 1 position is not as important as thought, although the No. 1 position is in charge of the rhythm of the court, but I have an idea, can we use the swing man of the small forward to replace the playmaking role of the No. 1 position, so as to form a concept of organizational forward?" Junxin asked tentatively.

"Organize... Striker? Coach Pique looked at Junxin blankly and asked unconsciously.

Jun Xin nodded and said, "Yes, organize the striker!" ”

"But the requirements for small forwards are very high, even harsh. He requires small forwards to be highly qualified in all aspects of defense, fitness, shooting and passing, almost like an all-around small forward, so that he can solve the problem of switching to Princeton and the triangle offense. ”

"But what I really want to do is to be a playmaker!" After hesitating for a moment, Junxin still said very decisively.

This time, Coach Pique already felt that the young man next to him was crazy, and he didn't even have the strength to complain.

"We have a very interesting big man in the number five position, he has good passing vision and passing ability and awareness, although his flexibility is not as good as the normal number one because of his height, but we can also try to see if we can give him the playmaking center, what do you think?"

In the end, Coach Pique still didn't say anything, although there are many tactics in the basketball world, but in general there are not too many systems. In the existing system, it is clear that the positions of the players on the basketball court are clear, and there will be no ambiguity. The system proposed by Junxin is clearly to blur the position of each player in the team's tactical system. In other words, the positions of the power forward, small forward, and center are no longer clearly defined. And this tactic is a big shock for Coach Pique, because he has never thought of it that way.

"Are you convinced? This is something that no one has ever done before! Coach Pique asked very solemnly.

"Not really!" Junxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that Coach Pique seemed to have somewhat agreed with his plan. "There have been a lot of players in history who have been part of the system themselves. For example, Chamberlain, Russell, Dr. J Irving, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the NBA league, these people are almost all centers, do you think if they are organizational centers, will they be incompetent? Now the black and white duo Larry Bird and Magic Johnson can also play center, and for them, there is no problem at all in the organization of the center. ”

"But with the kind of basketball skills and ability to read the game that surpasses everyone else, can our team of players do it?"

Junxin looked at the court and said for a long time: "I don't know if it can be done, but I believe in the wisdom of the students of Princeton University, after all, we use wisdom to play." ”

"We have a very good foundation, and the players left behind before Coach Carell left are very familiar with Princeton's tactics, and Princeton and the triangle offense are of the same origin, and I believe it is not difficult to master the triangle offense. The No. 5 position required for the tactics of organizing the center is not actually the actual No. 5 position, but a virtual No. 5 position, which is a tactic that is launched by combining Princeton tactics and triangle offensive tactics and organizing through the virtual No. 5 position. ”

"It's too demanding, I'm afraid they won't be able to play to their tactical strengths!" Coach Pique still said with some concerns.

"Well, I believe it is!" Junxin does not deny it, "But coach, any tactic is the same, no matter what kind of tactic has high requirements for players." And our Tigers players really can't get the most out of their tactics. However, I think that in the collegiate league, such a tactical effect is enough. We're not professional basketball players after all. ”

"Well, I guess we can try your tactics!" Coach Pique finally agreed to Junxin's request. Although he is skeptical of this tactic, he also knows that with the current team configuration, it is impossible to win without a strong tactical system to integrate. It forced him to change.

"Thank you!"
