Chapter 146 The Bucks version of the triangle offense, the Lakers attach great importance to it! (big chapter)
Lakers video room.

At this time, a video of a game is being played on the projector.

Take a closer look, it is the video of the game between the Bucks and the Pacers not long ago.

Now that the regular season is coming to an end, the Lakers, as the third and fourth teams in the West, logically should study their opponents in the West.

But today, the big shots of the Lakers coaching staff, Zen Master Phil Jackson, Tex Winter, and Kurt Rambis are all here.

And he watched the video intently, studying the game meticulously.

The content of the game in the video was not over yet. Zen Master pressed the remote control in his hand and paused for a while when he saw the third quarter.

"Tex, do you have any thoughts?" Zen Master looked at Tex Winter and asked him.

"Triangle offense?"

Even Tex Winter, the founder of the triangle offense, watched the first half of the game between the Bucks and the Pacers, and the old Winter was not sure whether the Bucks played a triangle offense.

Triangle offense, the most basic point guard, small forward, and center form a triangle position, open up space for each other by passing and cutting, creating a large number of singles opportunities, and even open cell phone opportunities.

This requires point guards, small forwards, and centers to all have good offensive and passing abilities.

Simplified or more realistic triangle offense, the outside player passes the ball to the player on the wing, and the latter holds the ball and breaks into the inside or corner of the strong offensive side.

The last point is the inside player, which is mainly used as the end point, of course, it can also be used as the axis to re-transfer the ball.

When the flank breaks into the inside line or corner of the strong side, there will be two situations.

If the wing player attracts double-teams, he can choose to pass the ball to the outside guard or the inside player.

Because at least two players are attracted to double-team, there are two defensive players around the outside player, and the ball can be given to the inside player who has only one defensive player around him.

vice versa.

In the other, the supplementary defense did not keep up, and the wing player got the first close shot at the basket, or an open shot from the bottom corner.

Even if the switching players catch up in time, at least it is a chance to hit and shoot.

In this case, the tactical core of the triangle offense is the wing player.

Tactics require the wing player to be both the pivot, the starting point of the attack, and the end point of the attack on the other hand.

While ensuring the ability of the wing players, there is a second offensive strength in the triangle offense, so the team's offensive efficiency under the triangle offense system will be very terrifying.

The triangle offense can be Bulls mode.

Pippen at the small forward serves as the "guard" who serves the ball, and Jordan, who plays off the ball, serves as the wing player who breaks into the inside and the corner. Of course, the two also switch each other.

As for Rodman, although he doesn't have a strong finishing ability inside, he has a pretty good high-post support ability.

Rodman can pull out in time when Jordan and Pippen are rushing in, catch the ball and pass the ball out.

You can also screen for Jordan and Pippen on the outside, making it easier for Jordan and Pippen to score.

As for the Lakers model, the triangle offense is easier to execute.

With O'Neal's inside killer, the Lakers only need to use the triangle offense to attract double-teams, plus the ability to open up space and maintain a good passing line, and pass the ball to O'Neal.

The Lakers' triangle offense is more like an upgraded version of "pass the ball to James".

Under this set of triangle offense, Kobe, as the core of the tactics, that is, the wing ball holder, will naturally benefit a lot.

Under the premise of the triangle offense, Kobe has a lot of singles opportunities with the ball, and the opportunities to make shots also cultivated Kobe's pass organization ability.

Of course the latter is not very important.

It's just that Kobe seized the first two opportunities, and relying on his talent, unremitting efforts, and unyielding spirit, he was quickly promoted to the league's top outside ball handler and singles strongman.

Having said that, after Kobe finished training, he also made great contributions to the Lakers' consecutive championships through the triangle offense.

In the end, judging from the results, the OK combination is mutual achievement.

In the triangle offense under the OK combination, the point guard who passed the ball at the beginning was just a tool man.

Therefore, people are more familiar with calling the OK combination, not the Big Three of the Bulls like calling the Bulls.

In the video, in the game between the Bucks and the Pacers, He Li and Kassel are also achieving each other.

He Li took the initiative to run towards Kassel without the ball, which is not a triangle offense.

The triangle offense requires space between players.

The triangle offense doesn't mean much if it doesn't open up the floor in a triangle shape.

The offensive space is small, and the defender can quickly adjust and supplement the defense, so the offensive player under the triangle offense will still be blocked.

The cooperation between He Li and Kassel was indeed not the same at first.

But after He Li regained possession of the ball, Cassel quickly sank into the inside and corner, connected with He Li, Joel, and the subsequent backup center Battelle, presenting a triangle position, which has the taste of a triangle attack.

Later, Kassel received a pass from He Li, and with the help of He Li to attract double-teaming space, he easily connected inside and outside, which also seemed to be the effect of a triangle attack.

On the surface, the Bucks' style of play is neither like the Bulls' triangle offense nor the Lakers' triangle offense. Although it is not like it, it has the essence of the triangle offense.

What is the essence of the triangle offense?The first point is to break the double-team, and the second point is to get the chance of superstar singles.

Jordan had no choice but to be targeted by Jordan's rules, so he changed his style of play, from the beginning with the ball to the later off-the-ball style.

O'Neal originally had a lot of trouble in the paint, but when he met Malone and the Pyrenees double-team, and Duncan and the general double-teamed, he played very hard.

If it wasn't for the triangle offense to help him break free from the shackles, how could O'Neal sit back and watch Kobe grow rapidly under the enhancement of the triangle offense until he threatened his status?

It is because the superstars play better and better under the triangle offense that the superstars will adopt this tactic.

In the game between the Bucks and the Pacers, the Pacers imposed Jordan's rules on He Li from the beginning, which can be said to squeeze out He Li's shooting space.

He Li played very uncomfortable, so the Bucks replaced Kassel as a ball-handling point.

If it were another team, they might try to set up a pick and roll for He Li.

But He Li is a power forward, and it's okay to pull down the outside shot, but if he runs out and someone picks and rolls for He Li, then the ball is too comfortable to play.

The Bucks did not serve alone, which is also expected.

It's just that He Li didn't accept his fate, and took the initiative to run to Kassel to catch the ball with the help of his not-so-strong off-the-ball ability.

It is impossible for the Pacers to double-team He Li when he runs without the ball. You must know that the Bucks still have three Musketeers.

He Li took away two people, and the Pacers had a tall man guarding the penalty area inside. The Bucks had three musketeers, and they had a three-on-two, or even three-on-one advantage on the outside.

So, is it necessary to implement other tactics?Pass the ball to the open man and just shoot.

The Pacers don't have the ability to double-team without the ball, so there is really no problem.

Relying on this wave of excellent ability to read the game, He Li easily ran in front of Kassel, and after catching the ball hand-in-hand, he won the superstar singles opportunity.

Or a chance to pass the ball to Cassell and play the Bucks' version of the triangle offense.

Of course, when Cassell received the ball, he didn't just pass the ball to the basket. Cassell also passed the ball to the big dog and Ray Allen on the weak side of the offense.

Kassel has a high golf quotient, strong ability to read games, and strong organizational skills.

Before Isiah Thomas figured out a way to solve the Bucks' sharp offensive style of play, the Bucks quickly knocked the Pacers to the ground under the organization of Cassel.

Originally, the Bucks' lineup was not as bad as the Pacers. Now, the Pacers were even more pulled away by the Bucks and collapsed in an instant.

Offensive tactics can improve the offensive ability of players under the tactical system.

The most perfect offensive tactic is the Princeton system, or the ultimate pass and cut system.

If there are five superstars who can attack, pass, and cooperate with each other to play the Princeton system, they will be invincible and the entire league.

But in reality, this situation is impossible. Let alone five superstars, it is also very difficult to find five stars and five strong teams that can cooperate well to start.

Therefore, the Princeton system eventually became the winning formula for civilian teams.

Because under the blessing of the Princeton system, the starters of strong teams will be promoted to star-level offensive capabilities.

But even with five stars, in the playoffs, they don't have the ability to win teams with multiple superstars, and they can't even do it in a [-]-[-] split.

Therefore, whether it is the Princeton system or Cole's passing and cutting system, it is difficult to really win by tactics.

True tactical masters, veteran coaches with real talents in the league, all play superstar singles tactics, pick-and-rolls, and triangle offenses, which are relatively simpler, easier to implement, and more effective tactics.

To be honest, if there are superstars playing and relying on the strength of superstars to win, is it ashamed?

It would be embarrassing to have a superstar lead the team and play complicated passes and cuts, and lose in the end.

The Bucks also pass a lot, but the play is not complicated, and the ball flows towards the star.

Originally, the Bucks still played superstar singles tactics, but they lacked real superstars.

This time, by coincidence, he played a triangle offense by mistake. Originally, He Li's offensive ability touched the superstar level, but this time he went directly to the superstar.

Kassel was originally a star player, and with the help of tactics, he entered the superstar field.

With the cooperation of the two playmakers He Li and Cassel, the Bucks' two outside pitchers, Big Dog and Ray Allen, have also improved in offense.

As for the center forward who originally only needed to act as a blue-collar, he also enhanced his offensive ability a lot and gained a lot of scoring opportunities.

The Bucks were promoted as a whole, so they defeated the Pacers in just the first half.

Even though the Pacers are still barely picking up the mess and maintaining the game situation firmly, they still can't prevent the Bucks from attacking.

Zen master saw the third quarter and pressed the video to pause, because he felt that there was no need to continue watching the remaining videos.

"I also think it's a triangle offense."

After confirming the answer in his heart from Old Wen Te's mouth, the Zen master said this.

Tactics are announced in front of the world, and after a long time of research, they will always be thoroughly studied.

However, the tactics are alive, but the team configuration is fixed, and it is difficult to adjust.

The triangle offense changes a lot, but the triangle offense can only be adjusted to suit the team.

George Karl, as Zen Master's old opponent in the Bulls' three-game period, would study the penetrating triangle offense, and Zen Master did not understand.

In this view, the Zen master expressed his views to everyone.

"He Li used Scotty's method to play Michael's effect."

The Zen master believed that after George Karl studied the triangle offense of the Bulls, he copied this set of triangle offense to the Bucks.

Thinking about it carefully, the three Musketeers of the Bucks also stood in a big triangle.

Ray Allen's bottom corner, Cassell and the Big Dog two wings.

However, Cassell is in the center and can make a two-way pass, but the Big Dog and Ray Allen can't pass each other.

First, it is far away, and second, there are many people in the middle. In this case, if you make a long pass, you will make a mistake.

The Bucks lack players who can support the triangle offense in the interior, and before the arrival of He Li, George Karl tried to cultivate the talented Tim Thomas, but it is a pity that it has become a garbage contract in the past few years.

It is because there is no candidate who can really support the Bucks' triangle offense. In recent years, the Bucks can only play outside, can only use star singles tactics, and use fast breaks to speed up the offense.

But now, He Li has come to the Bucks, and He Li can not only serve as the tactical core of this triangle offense, but also is perfect.

"That's God's gift to George Karl, to the Bucks."

The Zen master soon sighed again.

It is also the tactical core of the triangle offense. His own Kobe only averaged 7.6 points per game in his rookie season. Looking at He Li, he averaged more than 26 points per game.

Of course, Zen Master didn't think Kobe was bad either.

The superstars cultivated by themselves are still very fragrant. Last season, Kobe averaged more than 28 points per game.

However, incubation time is an issue.

It took Kobe four seasons to gradually possess the current ability.

Of course, for other people, even if they train for eight seasons, they may not be able to obtain Kobe's ability.

It can be cultivated, first of all because Kobe is worth cultivating and has enough talents.

But how to cultivate strength?It seems to be more profitable!
Right now, He Li is too shining, too sharp.

In just one season, He Li has been constantly improving and making rapid progress, but he has also quietly learned, understood, and adapted to the triangle offensive tactics.

Although the triangle offense is prepared for superstars, the brains of ordinary superstars can't understand the triangle offense.

Maybe it's okay to be one of the endpoints, but as the core of tactics, there are not many people who can do it in the entire league.

In the eyes of the Zen master, He Li's growth speed, learning ability, and adaptability are really terrifying monsters!
"Next, we are busy! There is no doubt that the Bucks will break through the playoffs, and there is no problem at all!"

Zen Master is about to end this meeting, and there is no point in continuing to analyze the Bucks game video now.

After all, the playoffs haven't started yet, and the Lakers don't know what cards the Bucks are hiding.

The Lakers didn't pay much attention to the Bucks before because they didn't know that the Bucks would still play their best triangle offense.

From the perspective of fans, the reason why the Lakers can win two consecutive championships is because they have an OK combination, a good starting lineup, and a substitute lineup.

But from the perspective of the coaching staff, it is still because the triangle offense played well under the Lakers configuration.

Now I know that the Bucks have a good understanding of the triangle offense, and they can also play the triangle offense. They play well, can smoothly display the abilities of the players, enhance the abilities of the stars under the tactical system, and make the offense play more smoothly.

Ah... this!

After waking up, the Lakers really have to pay attention to the No. [-] Bucks in the Eastern Conference.

The Bucks have superstars who can support the triangle offense, and a starting lineup even more gorgeous than the Lakers!
If the two teams meet in the finals this year, the Lakers will not be so easy if they want to defend the championship and establish a dynasty.
