Chapter 378 An Epoch-making Lineup
From the next day, Brown began to put out the lineup in the training session to be used in the finals.When he took out this lineup, everyone except Lewis was taken aback. There is no center in this lineup?
In this era, a pure lineup without a center will basically not appear on the court, and even if there is, it can only be played for a few minutes when the rotation lineup debuts.Even for the Nuggets, which were known for their crazy offense under Doug Mor, in addition to the two scorers Vandeweghe and English, there is also Dan Issel, who averaged 20.4 points and 7.9 points per game in his career. An excellent insider in rebounding, and this guy was successfully selected into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 1993.

But now Brown's lineup is a lineup without a center. The back line is still Iverson and Reid's partner, small forward Bell, power forward Lynch, and center Lewis.Although it is easy for everyone to judge their respective positions from their height, no one will think that Lewis is an inside player. There is no way, he has been floating outside for too long.

In fact, other assistant coaches on the coaching staff also have a skeptical attitude towards this lineup. They don’t think that a lineup without a center can play a big role. .While they wouldn't be praying darkly that this approach would fail, mistrust is absolutely inevitable.

In order to be responsible for the team, the opponent Brown arranged for them is the strongest lineup that can be formed among the remaining players of the team. Snow and McGee are in the backcourt, Hilgar Dalembert is in the inside, and the third position For the time being, use Arenas as a top. Although he is not tall enough, it is fine because Bell and Lynch are both defensive wings.

At the beginning, Iverson and Lewis naturally played awkwardly. Although they were old teammates who had been together for two seasons, it was the first time they appeared on the court at the same time.The most unaccustomed are undoubtedly Lynch and Lewis on the inside. One of them has never played a power forward, and the other is afraid of physical confrontation, which led to becoming the one behind from the beginning.

Moreover, Dalembert and Hill teamed up to control the rebounds, and they grabbed both offensive and defensive rebounds. This is largely because Iverson and their "main lineup" players have not yet developed. Habit of rebounding.According to Chang Wei's thinking, Iverson can just stay outside the three-point line and wait for a counterattack. Everyone else goes inside to grab the rebound, but it is nonsense for all five of them to be ready to switch offense. Who will do it? How about grabbing a rebound and launching a counterattack?

However, after Brown yelled twice, the situation began to change. Although Lewis still looked reluctant, at least he didn't have to grind when he needed to go inside to fight Dalembert and the others. He stood there motionless.Every time the side of the training partner made a shot, the five of them rushed towards the falling basketball like mad dogs, and there was even an embarrassing incident where they got together with their teammates, but it was a good start anyway...

The most important thing is that they don't need to find the touch at all. When Iverson is controlling the ball at the top of the arc, several others are constantly shuttling between the inside and the outside. Teammates make a cover, and their super mobility allows them to always run out of enough shooting space, and then catch and shoot, or catch a pass from a teammate and layup directly when they cut to the basket along the baseline. completely out of consideration.

This is also what Chang Wei envisioned at the beginning. Although the small players are at a disadvantage in terms of height, their movement speed is unmatched by the insiders.And a guy like Lewis who has both height and speed is obviously very suitable for the fifth position. When they all run, the inside twin towers that the Spurs are proud of may not be of much use.

In fact, this lineup will be the most trendy tactic in the entire league after ten years.After the center with three-point shooting ability covers, it is easy to attack the frame or pull the outside line to shoot. The wing players swing up to the fourth position to become a small power forward, which enhances the athletic ability of the lineup. Although Lynch lacks offensive means , but this position is enough, and strictly speaking, the 76ers have too few wing players, and there is no third one besides him and Bell.

Soon the simulated confrontation between the two sides played well, which surprised Brown. What he didn't know was that in order to quickly improve the tacit understanding of the entire lineup, Chang Wei exchanged a validity period from the system mall. It is a prop for three days—accelerated tactical board (small), and the effect of training in these three days will be increased by 30%, and the tacit understanding of the players will be increased by 30%, otherwise this unprecedented lineup will really have to wait until the year of the monkey to practice, that The day lily is cold by now.

Since only 24 minutes were played in the first half, the final score of the intra-team match was 62 to 60. The training team was slightly better, but Brown was very satisfied with the wonderful starting lineup suggested by Chang Wei.Although they are far behind in terms of rebounds, they are also offensive rebounds. The defensive rebounds of the two teams are almost the same. The main team is slightly behind by 21 to 24. The two inside big men who can grab rebounds the most!

Of course, whether this lineup can be used to deal with the Spurs twin towers still needs to be tested in actual combat, but judging from the performance of the match, they are not as easy to collapse as imagined. Of course, the shortcomings are obvious, but they are not without advantages. If you want to improve further, it's not a bad idea to try it in the first game of the finals.

However, this is only a preliminary result. Both the experienced Brown and Chang Wei, who made this suggestion, clearly see how much room for improvement.The most important thing is to grab rebounds. Although they did not fall behind too much in rebounding in the confrontation match, they couldn't bear to look at the process. Many times they rushed forward to grab rebounds without any strategy. Anyway, they just relied on the number of people , This is undoubtedly a weakness in official competitions.

In addition, Brown still has more work to do. He must design some reasonable, simple and effective tactics for this lineup.This is also the task of the head coach. Every lineup must have relevant tactics for the players to implement. Otherwise, wouldn't it be X**D?
