"Mr. Smart, did you sort it all out?"

"yes, I've combed through the tactical characteristics of the NBA in various eras, and I've also recorded a few typical teams."

"That's amazing...... But... Why do you seem to have a bad record of teams? ”

"Uh...... This, we Chinese have a saying, we can learn from history, and if we understand these bad things, we can avoid them. ”

"But can't you know the good things directly?"

"So I'm not asking you to bring the Kings profile! The king used to be powerful, right? ”

"Yes, it used to be very powerful. But now ......"

Ida and Min Congda sat in the living room, helping to sort out the recorded drafts and asking questions to open their minds.

When Min Congda first crossed over and didn't know anything about basketball, Ida often answered Min Congda's questions.

Later, Min Congda himself knew more and more, and his learning ability was even stronger, and the role of Aida NBA know-it-all was small.

Now, Min Congda needs some inspiration and brainstorming, and Ada is a great helper.

Min looked at the autobiography "The Smart Take from the Strong" by Pete Carell, the King's once-famous founder of Princeton's tactics.

"There is my name in the title of this book, which means that it has a fate with me, but this name is not good, wisdom comes from being strong, defeating strength? I don't believe it. ”

Min Congda read the book while thinking about the significance of Princeton's tactics in the current environment.

"Ada, what do you think of Princeton's tactics?"

Ida thought for a moment and said: "The Princeton tactic has only worked well in the Kings, and except for the Kings, other teams have not used this tactic as a basis, just introduced some tactical ideas and routines, and this set of tactics has great flaws in the NBA." ”

"What are the flaws?"

"Princeton's tactical design was designed to allow teams with mediocre physical fitness to get the best open scoring opportunities through the combination of air cuts, reverse runs, and back doors. But in the NBA, the physical fitness of players is generally excellent, and it is very difficult to obtain space, and it is not a simple run to get an open position. ”

Also, as you said, the first decade of the 21st century was highly profitable for superstar singles, and Princeton didn't offer great opportunities for superstar singles like the triangle offense. In the high-intensity games of the playoffs, Princeton's overly cumbersome passing can increase the turnover rate, which can be lethal in a playoff game where every offense is important. On the contrary, the triangle attack that relies on singles is not prone to mistakes. ”

"After all, the league is a place where stars are admired, and Princeton's tactics are destined to be non-mainstream, and some of its tactical ideas will have a positive impact on the team, but if you apply this tactic completely, I am afraid that it will not achieve good results. No team has used this system since the Kings. ”

Min Congda nodded, satisfied with Ada's answer, and basically hit Princeton's Achilles' heel.

After Adelman, who became famous for Princeton, coached the Rockets, many commentators and experts believed that the Rockets would play Princeton offense.

But in fact, the rockets in the Yao-Adelman era couldn't beat Princeton at all, and Yao Ming didn't want to beat Princeton.

The 07-09 Rockets are actually playing more of a triangle offense to create one-on-one opportunities for Yao Ming.

That's why Yao Ming was able to score a peak of 25 points in a single season, which is quite high for a center.

Unfortunately, Yao Ming was too fragile and frequently injured, and his dominance in the low post was not up to O'Neal's.

It's very stereotypical to think that Adelman just played Princeton, and he didn't play Princeton when he was in the Trail Blazers.

A good NBA head coach will not be obsessed with a set of tactical systems, but will look at the dishes based on his own experience and team configuration.

Just like Riley went to New York from the Lakers, people unrealistically imagined that there would be show-time in New York, but Riley accurately grasped the Knicks' lineup and the NBA trend in the 90s, created an iron-blooded defensive version of the Knicks, and almost touched the championship.

The Kings of '02 are indeed very suitable for the Princeton system in terms of lineup, but unfortunately the version is not right, and it can only be short-lived when it comes to the era of the highest single returns and the Los Angeles Lakers, plus various factors such as luck.

Min Congda took out the lineup of the 02 Kings and pondered it repeatedly, thinking: "Isn't our Clippers' lineup, TMD similar to the King?" A center who can pass the ball, a great power forward, a small forward who can shoot threes, and a strong point guard. And our clippers are still low-profile! The low-profile version of the king, with the old tactics of the king expired, in the version that proved to be unsuitable for this tactic, this is not a match made in heaven! ”

Thinking of this, Min Congda slammed the table, startling Ada.

"What's wrong, Mr. Smart?"

"Well written, this book is really well written."

"What do you mean by Mr. Pete Carell's book?"

"yes, I don't know if Mr. Carell is still there, I really want to invite him to the team to guide the team's tactics."

"Mr. Carell died in '06."

"Really? That's a shame. ”

"But... Why play Princeton tactics? This has proven to be a tactic system that is not suitable for the current era. Most teams will not be dominated by Princeton, but will appropriately intersperse some of these small tactics to enrich the tactical pool. ”

Ida was puzzled, just now he clearly said that Princeton is not suitable for the current NBA, does Mr. Smart have any unique opinions?

Sure enough, Min Congda waved his hand and said, "Ada, as a girl, you should understand that fashion is a reincarnation." I'm telling you, tactics are also a cycle. I think the NBA is about to enter the era that best suits Princeton's tactical system! ”

Ida was intrigued and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Min Congda said: "Because the space and three-point shooting are more fully utilized, the passing and cutting system represented by Princeton will usher in the best period of play. There's going to be more space on the pitch, there's going to be more projection on the players, there's going to be more back door on the pitch, so..."

Talking and talking, Min Congda thinks it seems to make sense?

No, Princeton is a reverse version of the tactic, how can it be suitable for the moment?

He's just making up a pretense and saying a few random words to deceive Ada.

Is space and three-pointers good for Inside-out, but only for Princeton?

"So what, Mr. Smart?" Ada asked again.

"So, the Clippers are going to start playing pass-and-cut tactics on the offensive end!"
