Chapter 24 Princeton Tactics
Subsequently, the opponent followed up with an inside score.

The opponent suddenly changed to a tactic initiated by the center forward, and Xia Tian saw through what kind of trick the opponent was going to use at a glance. Princeton tactics, this tactic is actually too familiar to Xia Tian. If you can shoot and shoot, you are already omnipotent.

So when the opposite center took the ball in a high position to support him, Xia Tian understood that the opponent was going to play Princeton.

This is a good tactic. The opposite center holds the ball, and at the top of the arc, the other four move back and forth. All four of them are sports students, so they have advantages in terms of physical strength and endurance.

After the first quarter, the score was seventeen to fifteen.

Princeton's tactics were very effective. In the last 4 minutes of the first quarter, the sophomore (17) class successfully chased the score back.

Xia Tian walked from the court to the court and observed his players. Cao Ben, Wang Dawei, Yu Hao and Wu Zhen were all panting for breath. In the first quarter, he was dunking and fast break again. I used too much force, and now I feel slightly powerless.

He felt that it was necessary to remind them that they should not fall into a passive situation.

Xia Tian took a bottle of water, walked up to his teammates and shouted: "The opponent is playing Princeton tactics".

"What is the Princeton tactic?" Wang Dawei asked suspiciously. He had only heard of the triangle offensive tactic. The triangle offensive tactic is so famous. The reason why Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant won so many championships back then was actually related to The triangle offensive tactics are inseparable. The triangle offense fully liberates the shooting guard position. Two other teammates participate in the triangle offense. It can not only share the offensive pressure of the shooting guard, but also resolve the opponent's attack on the shooting guard defense.

"I know Princeton tactics, but I don't quite understand what's going on?" Yu Hao said.

Xia Tian asked about the time, there are still 5 minutes before the second quarter, and he can fully explain it.

His understanding of tactics is that he must thoroughly understand the cause and play of the tactics from the root.

"Princeton tactics are a tactic invented by American coach Pete Carell. He once used this style of play to lead Princeton University to 500 victories in NCAA games, and created a record of 14 times the lowest number of conceded points. About Princeton There is a saying that the strong can take advantage of the weak, but the smart can take advantage of the strong. The essence of this style of play lies in the coordination of all aspects of human movement and ball movement. Human movement refers to the state of moving without the ball. Next, your own players perform an air cut back run, etc. The ball movement refers to the continuous sharing of the ball and uninterrupted passing of the ball. The most important thing to pay attention to is the back run. Our physical strength, through continuous back running, reduces our concentration"

"Fuck, Xia Tian, ​​they are so tall, can they play together?" Wu Zhen shouted.

"In fact, this kind of tactic is relatively simple. The most important thing is physical strength, and Princeton's tactics pay great attention to the four categories of space, timing, observation, and execution. Space refers to the space between your own teammates and the opponent's players on the field. This is the most basic requirement. Timing refers to the timing of passing, running and counter-running. Observation refers to observing the opponent's defensive position. Execution refers to the execution of basic techniques.

Princeton's style of play focuses on inside passing and inside command. "

"Inside command, I don't think the opposite center is very good," Wu Zhen said seriously.

"Yeah, don't look at their offense is not very good, but this kind of center is called a playmaker. They don't aim at offense and rebounds, but they demand to revitalize the whole team. After all, the center is one of the two tallest players on the court. , with a wider field of vision than anyone else. On the court, if the center forward acts as the actual initiator of the offense, and if all five of them can shoot, then the space for the game will be infinitely large. If the other four He is also good at running, so, sorry, the defensive team may have to run with the team using Princeton tactics throughout the game.

Princeton's offensive tactical system has a motto in the NBA, which is "Don't turn your head, or you will open the back door!"

This kind of offensive tactical score first requires a center who can handle the ball, pass the ball, and shoot the ball.

The philosophy of Princeton's offense is based on giving the ball to the center and letting the center be the playmaker.So whether it is in transition or positional offense, the most important thing is to "find the center".

"So that's how it is," Wu Zhen said, "Then how to crack it?"

"Hmph, don't worry, the opponent has only learned a little superficiality, without long-term cooperation and a lot of training, they can't play this kind of tactics at all, at most they are just copying cats and cats," Xia Tian disdainfully said.

In my previous life, I and my teammates studied for several weeks in order to understand Princeton's tactics. Coupled with day and night, day and night reversed training, they barely entered the threshold of Princeton's tactics.

The Kings of the NBA team relied on Princeton tactics to survive in the strong NBA. There are indeed some key players who rely on tactics and perform gorgeously, such as European center Divac and power forward. Reese Webber, super pitcher Peja Stojakovic, alternative point guard Mike Bibby, and later Brad Miller, they all played their worth in the Kings, but after leaving the Kings, they never Difficult to show their previous level.

"When we get on the court, pay attention to the pass from the opposite center, and remember that any time his family is attacking from the outside, if he can't seize a pass opportunity, then his best opportunity is to take advantage of the opponent's defense. Intention, by changing direction and cutting to the basket or running in reverse to get a shot opportunity to score.

We are still not sure whether the opponent has a basket. From the first quarter of the game, we can only see that the opponent’s shooting hand is not bad. We know too little about them, so in the second quarter, Yu Hao, you are better than Wu It’s really faster, you defend the opposite center, remember, you must try your best to interfere with the opponent’s pass, so that he can’t pass the ball at the first time, and the rest follow him. There will not be too simple scoring opportunities. In this tactic, the big man always has to get the ball from the small man, and the most exquisite pass is from the big man.So the four of us can relax a little bit, save more energy, communicate well at the first time, and then switch defenses, remember to make up defenses in a timely manner." At the same time as Xia Tian finished explaining, the whistle sounded, and the referee entered the field inside, signaling the game to continue.
