against the front

Chapter 349

"It seems that there is really something wrong with my tactical arrangement!"

On October 2010, 10, at the AT&T Center Arena in San Antonio, the Kings' away game against the Spurs was drawing to a close. Looking at the 31-81 score on the scoreboard, Reggie Troyes became more and more suspicious of his ability to transform the team's tactics The choice is wrong.

Because it is back-to-back consecutive away games, and they are facing strong teams like the Rockets and Spurs, so before the start of this game, let alone the media who are not optimistic about the Kings, even Reggie Toyes himself There is no confidence. Even when he was arranging tactics before the game, Reggie Troyes was already prepared to lose in his heart.

However, after the start of the game, Reggie Troyce discovered that this was not the case at all. Even if he hadn't been very clear about the reasons for the previous few games, Reggie Troyce would have suspected that these guys were Play yourself.

Although the GDP is one year older, the Spurs this season have changed from last season's decline. At the beginning of the new season, they defeated the Pacers, Clippers and Hornets one after another, temporarily ranking first in the Western Conference with a wave of three consecutive victories. , At the same time, compared with last season, the Spurs this season, while the overall defense has not declined, the offensive firepower has also improved a lot.

However, in today's game, the Spurs fell short on both offense and defense. Tim Duncan, who was dubbed "Yan Hua's nemesis" before, may be troubled by injuries. None, just in the first quarter, Yan Hua scored 15 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 blocked shots, dominating the game on both offense and defense.

In desperation, Popovich had to double-team Yan Hua crazily. However, the outside players of the Kings stood up when Yan Hua was crazily double-teamed, especially Danny Green, who scored 3 times in the game. He made 9 of 7 shots from the field, as if he was cheating.

In the end, under the circumstances of internal and external loss, the Spurs only lasted for three quarters before giving up completely. What was thought to be a tough battle was easily passed by the Kings.

Although the entire fourth quarter was garbage time, Reggie Toyes, who was sitting on the sidelines, was not idle. After all, after this game, the Kings will play back-to-back against the Hornets and Mavericks.

And what Reggie Toyes has been hesitating about is the next tactical arrangement, whether to continue to implement the tactical transformation of the team, or to give up this plan and simply implement the superstar singles tactics to the end.

There are many disadvantages of superstar singles tactics, but the victory lies in the low threshold for execution. As long as the core player is strong enough, he can achieve a good record by playing casually. The king's tactical core is strict, rich in offensive methods, and has a strong team. Deterrence at the basket, so even if the King is X**D, the record will not be bad. The consecutive victories over the Rockets and Spurs are good examples.

However, as an academic head coach with "noble pursuits", Reggie Toyce does not want to be branded as a "nanny" coach, because once he is branded with this mark, Reggie Toyce will completely stay away from the United States. The top coach circle is stronger than Phil Jackson and Pat Riley. After being branded as a nanny coach, there is no way to enter the upper coach circle, let alone a small fish like Reggie Troyce Small shrimp.

However, the current situation of the Kings is forcing Reggie Toyes to make choices and concessions. The departure of John Salmons completely collapsed the combination of internal and external tactics that helped the Kings win the championship. Whether it is traded to replace John -Salmons' James Posey, or the team's top outside scorer Kevin Martin, can't afford the gap left by John Salmons.

Attacking with the ball and sorting out the team were not originally Kevin Martin's strengths. In addition, due to Yan Hua's strong rise, Kevin Martin's style of play has become more and more inclined to spot-up shooters. Therefore, Kevin- It is really difficult for Martin to hold the ball on the outside like John Salmons.

And James Posey, who was traded this season, can't be counted on. James Posey, who is only 34 years old, has degenerated to the point where he can hardly even start. In two games, Reggie Toyes pushed him to the bench and replaced Danny Green.

As for Danny Green and Jrue Holiday, who have been promoted to the starting position in the new season, although they have already experienced the baptism of the finals, the two young men have no way to do it, whether it is technical play or current ability. Take on the heavy responsibility of the outside core.

Although the victory was already decided, Reggie Hawes, who was getting bigger and bigger the more he thought about it, kept scratching his head with his hands, with a helpless look on his face.

"Hey, there is." I don't know when he turned his attention to Reggie Toyce who was on the Spurs bench, looked at Tim Duncan who was sitting on the bench blankly, and suddenly came to inspiration.

"If the combination of inside and outside can't be achieved, let's just have one center and four pitchers!" After muttering to himself for a while, the expression on Reggie Toyce's face slowly relaxed.

Strictly speaking, the one-center four-pitcher tactic is also a kind of superstar tactic, but the one-center four-pitcher tactic is a tactic that has broken away from the low-end tactics of the X**D tactic. The Rockets back then relied on Hakeem Olajuwon and this tactic have dominated the league and won two consecutive championships. The current Orlando Magic also relies on Dwight Howard and the tactic of one center and four pitchers to become the top power in the vertical and horizontal league. Even the current Spurs will come up with a center and four pitchers from time to time, but as Tim Duncan continues to degenerate, the Spurs have fewer and fewer opportunities to use this tactic.

Moreover, the one-center four-shooter tactic does not have high requirements for the point guard, as long as he can dribble the ball across the court and deliver the ball to the center forward, and he still has a certain shooting ability.

A powerful center who can attract opponents to double-team, and a group of players with shooting ability from the 1st position to the 4th position, isn't this the current king?

Thinking of this, Reggie Toyce almost laughed out loud, he really had nowhere to go, and it took no effort at all!
It's just that, in this case, Tony Allen, a defensive champion, becomes dispensable to the Kings. His shooting ability is Tony Allen's shortcoming, and this kind of player, in In the one-center four-shooter tactic, there is no position at all.

"It's difficult!" Thinking of this, Reggie Toyce muttered.
