The next day, Junxin didn't have such a leisurely free time. Coach Peake forcibly pulled him out of the boundless sea of information and came to the training ground that Penn had prepared for Princeton.

"Jun, Penn's lineup has come out, and there is no change in their No. 1 to No. 5 positions, but the bench lineup has changed slightly, strengthened the No. 4 position, and put the original substitute No. 5 position on the No. 4 position, which should be to increase the height of the inside line."

"It's not surprising that Carlisle is the tallest of the two teams, and it would be strange if he didn't step up to the No. 4 position in terms of basketball as a long-man sport. However, since it is the substitute No. 4 position that has changed, it means that their main interior twin tower tactics have not changed, so the main tactics we face have not changed, but we need to pay a little attention to their bench lineup. My guess is that they might take a rotational approach, and maybe one of the players in the number four and number five positions will stay on the court all the time, which will both preserve energy and increase the team's fighting power. ”

"Do you have any countermeasures?" Coach Pique had already noticed this problem after seeing the game comparison table, and now he heard that Junxin had also made such a judgment, and he suddenly seemed a little worried.

Jun Xin touched his chin and said with some uncertainty: "Well, it's not that there are no ideas. The inside twin towers must occupy most of the inside advantage, so relatively speaking, the strong inside line is Penn's advantage. However, we are not without advantages, compared to Penn, our tactical system is more advanced, faster, and the tactical transition and offense and defense will become faster. ”

"In general, it is necessary to play to our strengths, to switch between our fast attack and fast defense, and always form a tightly defended system, we must always play our strengths, and use the advantages of the whole system to offset their advantages, which will be a very good strategy."

"However, we may be at a disadvantage in the early stage, won't we have a problem?" Coach Pique asked.

"Our players at Princeton are born with big hearts and don't have to worry about their confidence taking a hit. Okay, coach, let's analyze some of the targeted tactics for tomorrow, after all, it's useless for us to worry about it now, isn't it? ”

Coach Pique nodded when he heard this, and then began to analyze it with Junxin word by word.

Basketball, as a major sport in the minds of the United States, has a status somewhat equivalent to European football. However, the slight difference is that the biggest sports in the United States are football and baseball, and basketball did not really occupy the status of the third or even the second largest sport in the United States until Jordan and other 84 generations appeared in professional leagues.

Although basketball has long been called a black man's game by wealthy people in the United States, there are still many people who like basketball because of its fierce confrontation game that stimulates male hormones.

So by the time Junxin followed the team to the competition venue, there were already a lot of people in the stadium. The stadium that can accommodate 20,000 people, as far as Jun Xin can see, at least about 15,000 people can be seated.

However, Junxin was not surprised at all, after all, Penn reached the final four two years ago, so the stadium attendance and team support rate in the past two years have been relatively high.

"Jun, do you need to say anything?" After Coach Pique made the final tactical arrangements, he turned his head and asked Jun Xindao, who was holding a notebook in his hand and watching it carefully.

"Well, no, Penn isn't a great team, you can do better!" Jun Xin waved his hand without raising his head, and said in a relaxed tone, "It's time for you to perform!" ”

"Roar!" Seeing Junxin's carelessness, I don't know what's going on, the players are more confident.

The start of Junxin's design was dominated by Carlisle's offense, so after Carlisle jumped the ball successfully at the beginning, he passed the ball to the No. 1 position, and quickly ran under the basket by himself.

The virtual No. 5 tactic, which combines Princeton and the triangle offensive tactics, is characterized by the unbreakable characteristics of the No. 5 tactic, in addition to retaining the flexibility of the triangle offense and Princeton's reasonable distribution of the ball. Because the core of itself is the virtual five, but the five-position is a position that changes all the time. Maybe this time it was still on the inside, and the next moment it ran to the outside. If you can't choke the virtual No. 5 position, then it's hard to stop Princeton's offense.

In the first five minutes or so, it was already clear that the sheer power of this tactic was revealed. Carlisle in the fifth position played steadily, as the core of the team's players, scoring four points, but the response and assist reached four times. Among them, Youngk scored four points because of the burden of the inside transfer, and the outside scoring guard also opened up the absolute high space on the inside and easily sent two three-pointers. The pair scored 16 points in five minutes, while Penn on the opposite side only scored 8 points.

The opening game was 16-8, doubling the Pennsylvania. At the beginning of the game, after Carlisle scored a goal, Penn began to surround and defend Carlisle in a targeted manner, and the core of the number five quickly moved to the outside, which led to a collective anger on the outside, and they were not powerless players.

As a last resort, Penn's head coach, Coach Bobby Wickdole, had to call a timeout. In just five minutes, it not only interrupted Penn's offensive rhythm, but also silenced Penn's home game, which is a very demoralizing style of play.

"Guys, well done, now we have to quickly enter the state of the No. 5 tactic, although the No. 5 tactic is not divided into inside and outside, but the No. 5 tactic in the inside state is the greatest power of this tactic. Here's what Carlisle and Jank need to focus on, as the two of you will be at the heart of this game. ”

"Alright, guys, let's take away the boos that belong to the victors at Penn!" Coach Pique, who was very satisfied with his performance at the beginning of the first quarter, laughed and encouraged.

As soon as the timeout passed, Princeton returned to the court, and as expected, Coach Victor began to focus on defending the perimeter, at this time, Carlisle and Youngk on the inside were collectively powerful, and the No. 5 tactics continued to pass and cut together, completely hitting Penn's waist. At the end of the first quarter, the margin stretched to 24-14, with Princeton leading by 10 points.

At the beginning of the second quarter, because the quality of Princeton's bench players was far inferior to Penn, at the end of the second quarter, Penn chased the score to 33-30 with a deep lineup. However, after Princeton's main force came on the court again, the No. 5 tactic was once again powerful, with perfect passing and cutting coordination, violating the conventional rhythm and offensive routines, and unpredictable offensive methods, and the score difference with Pennsylvania suddenly opened up again. By the end of the game, Princeton had a 30-point lead at 101-70 over Penn.

The game was over, and the crazy shouts of ABC basketball commentator Michaels echoed everywhere: "This is the team that has always been used for show, oh my God, their offense is so beautiful!" ”

For the first time, the word SHOW was used on the head of the Princeton Tigers, the league's underdogs.
