Chapter 580 Times have changed. If the triangle attack tactic cannot be used, then don’t do it!
Atlantic Forum, the training base of the Lakers.
Tactical Conference Center.
The management room and coaching staff met with Kobe, Paul, Gasol and Su Bei to study what tactics the Lakers will use in the new season.
If it was just about defense, this meeting would be unnecessary.
That's head coach Mike Brown's special skill, what kind of zone defense, what kind of strong side accumulation, quick defense, rotation and change of positions, against the pressing...
Defensively, Mike Brown is capable of all kinds of skills.
Offensively, let's put it this way, Mike Brown, who has the reputation of "defense relies on bread, offense LeBron James", drives a Mazda, and is not qualified to hold this meeting.
Attack!
It's nothing more than pick-and-roll tactics, DD tactics, run-and-gun tactics, one-star shooting, blind Jiba chaos... Well, these five are all suitable for Chris Paul.
The rest is the most familiar triangle offense tactic.
Kobe, Gasol, and Su Bei are all familiar with it, but Paul is not.
"Jordan retired at the age of 36!
I'm 34 years old, how many more years do I have left in my basketball life?" Kobe shrugged calmly.
“So, just be direct!
It's the triangle offensive tactic.
Under this tactic, I won 6 championships, and Jordan did the same.
Me, Gasol, Su Bei, and Artest all know this tactic very well, so there is basically no problem in adapting it. We just need Chris to adapt it to us.
If we use other tactics, four people are needed to suit Chris, and I don’t have much time to adjust to the new tactics."
"Chris, what do you think?"
Everyone looked at Chris Paul, and he calmly replied: "I don't care what tactics you use!
As long as I like playing brother basketball, I am willing to join the Lakers. As long as I can win, I have no objection."
There is a rumor that the triangle offensive tactic is useless for star point guards.
Point guards like veteran Fisher mainly play without the ball. To control the ball, they only need to dribble the ball across half court and hand the basketball to their teammates.
A point guard without the ball is like a tiger without teeth.
It still takes a lot of courage for Paul to be willing to challenge his own weakness.
There is nothing wrong with the layout.
Kobe nodded with satisfaction.
This is not the cp3 I am familiar with, it is unreasonable!
Su Bei was strange, but he put forward different opinions.
"Now that we are playing brother basketball and getting together, I naturally wish you well, me well, and everyone is well.
I played defensive counterattack with the Heat, run and gun with the Suns, DD tactics with the Mavericks, and blind bully tactics with the Thunder.
Of course, with the Lakers, I also played the triangle offense.
The tactics are different, but the same thing is that in the end, my team won the championship, so I can do whatever tactics I use."
"However, if we use the triangle offensive tactic, don't blame me for being too honest. The position of head coach must be Phil Jackson!
But now the Lakers already have Mike Brown. Due to various reasons, if they want to invite coach Jackson back, it may not be possible.
If you can't do it, then don't use the triangle offensive tactic."
"Su, what do you mean?" Kobe looked at Su Bei seriously, not expecting that Su Bei stabbed him in the back and was an old man.
But Su Bei waved his hand to signal him to be okay, and then said with a smile.
"Times have changed!
The triangle offense tactic is not necessarily our only option.
We can have both...no, three, four, etc."
"..."
Everyone looked at Su Bei in surprise.
I didn't expect that Su Bei was so ambitious.
If a triangle offense cannot be implemented, then other offensive tactics should also be implemented.
Moreover, what Su Bei said seems to be very reasonable. Without Phil Jackson and only relying on the "dog-licking" Mike Brown, the stars will do whatever they say. Can the Lakers play an authentic triangle offensive tactic?
In other words, if they cannot play an authentic and threatening triangle offensive tactic, can the Lakers, who aim to compete for the championship, have the last laugh?
If not, it's not a bad thing to have various weapons on hand.
The Lakers have added hundreds of millions of offensive weapons. When encountering different opponents and different defenses, they can adapt to changing situations and come up with the most suitable and threatening offensive weapons to attack their opponents. This is the most efficient tactic!
Practice is the only way to test truth.
Next, the Lakers conducted tactical simulation training.
…
On the basketball court, there are two groups: the main players and the substitutes.
The main five are naturally Gasol, Artest, Su Bei, Kobe and Paul.
Substitute lineup, Hassan Whiteside, Jordan Hill, PJ Tucker, Jamison, Blake.
When the tactical training begins, the first main tactic is naturally the triangle offensive tactic.
Paul plays the role of Fisher, controlling the ball in the frontcourt to find teammates.
At this time, Gasol and Artest have formed a shuffling movement and substitution.
Movement, space, and change! These are the three major elements of the triangle offensive tactic.
By moving, dislocation can be created.
"Gasol came from the left to the right, and the defensive player changed from center Whiteside to Jordan Hill.
Artest played the power forward position, and Jordan Hill, who was originally facing him, became Whiteside..."
This mediocre inside player moves and changes positions, and his operations are as fierce as a tiger's. When he looks at his height, he is nothing?
If we were playing against the 2012 Spurs, Gasol was facing Duncan, and by moving and changing positions, Gasol would be facing Diaw, and the borrowing advantage would be very intuitive.
On the sidelines, Mike Brown and assistant coach Dalvin Hamm looked at each other and recognized Phil Jackson's triangle offensive tactics very much. This small detail is enough for them to learn for a lifetime.
At this time, Gasol came to the right and immediately pulled up to the high post to catch the ball. Paul turned the basketball to Gasol and then cut inside to the basket.
Blake followed closely, but was blocked by Gasol.
"Gasol, as the pivot, blocked Blake and formed a pick-and-roll without the ball. Then he passed the ball to Paul hand-to-hand, instantly creating a mismatched situation where Jordan Hill was singled out..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Paul changed direction and accelerated, easily passed Jordan Hill, and sent the basketball into the basket with an ordinary lob.
Swish——!
"pretty!!
This tactical coordination is too confusing.
Gasol and Paul made a pass-and-cut cooperation, and Su Bei, who moved from the right corner to the 65-degree three-point wing on the right, formed an offensive triangle.
Su Bei shoots a three-pointer, Gasol can turn around and shoot a two-pointer, and Paul can get to the basket and layup, creating a three-dimensional offense..."
And this is just the auxiliary triangle of the triangle offensive tactic.
The auxiliary offensive triangle on the right can attract the opponent's defensive energy, and the offensive area on the left will form a short-term weak side. Gasol serves as the offensive axis, passing the ball to Paul, and can hit the opponent's back door.
Revealing Subei's card, you can use three-pointers to test the opponent's basket.
You can also pass the ball to Kobe on the left weak side to form a one-on-one situation.
Kobe keeps picking and drawing, which is the same as giving out points.
In other words, Gasol, Kobe, and Artest under the basket also formed another offensive triangle.
Up and down three-dimensional attacks, left and right strong and weak side attacks, internal and external space attacks, all attack the opponent's defense line at the same time. What can you use to counter it?
It’s really unworthy!
The threat of the triangle offensive tactic is so outstanding.
Of course, after all, the core of this tactic is unlimited star duels.
Whether it's Paul mismatched in one-on-one against Jordan Hill, or Kobe's one-on-one against Jamison, Artest versus white side Whiteside, or Su Bei and Gasol's respective matchups, it's all about fighting.
Kill in single combat.
And just by having the opportunity to challenge each other, the superstar will have an advantage.
The next training will still be based on Paul's tactical adaptation training.
Paul passes the ball to Gasol. In addition to cutting inside to the basket, he can also attack outside and switch positions with Su Bei to cover the pick-and-roll.
In this way, Su Bei will be mismatched against Blake, and Paul will be mismatched against P.J. Tucker, and they can directly challenge each other with the ball.
Of course, due to this dislocation, Paul will have a speed advantage against PJ Tucker. If he continues to cut inside, the effect will be better.
On the Jiangsu North side, when they faced Blake out of position, they also had an advantage in terms of height and physical confrontation. They chose to cut inside and go to the basket, which could crush Blake's body and receive Gasol's pass. It was easy.
layup opportunity.
Hong Kong's opponents are not stupid, and they will also make various defensive responses. Whether they are cutting inside or outside, they may not be able to solve the opponent in one go.
For example, Paul passed the ball to Gasol and cut inside to the basket. If he failed to get a chance to hit the opponent's backdoor, he could go around the baseline and reach the right three-point corner.
During this period, Su Bei had moved to Paul's position just now.
Therefore, around Gasol's offensive axis, it is impossible to score the basketball without a ball-free cut. If not, just try the second or third time.
When Paul and Gasol's passing and cutting cooperation fails, Su Bei can also copy Paul's work and cut inside or outside. Between them, they form a triangle, with the positions of the three points changing.
You can form a 90-degree triangle shape, you can also draw a 60-degree triangle shape, you can also change it into a 45-degree angle...
Of course, Paul's point is the axis, and there is basically no change.
After all, at this point, he has to create another shape of triangle offense with Kobe and Artest.
After 30 minutes of training, Paul was already familiar with this triangle offensive tactic.
In fact, it is essentially a kind of u-transfer.
It can be said to be the off-ball version of the pick-and-roll tactic.
Paul adapted very quickly, but of course, problems were also exposed.
"Chris, your performance is just a little bit perfect!" During the break, Su Bei and Paul chatted about a few cents.
"How close!" Paul asked!
"Your range is too short!
You have to develop your three-point shooting threat.
Otherwise, you can only cut inside, cut outside to cooperate, and pull up to the three-point line in the corner. The opponent will let go and double-check Gasol, and you will just make a lonely cut."
"Yeah!" Paul nodded, but he had a belief in his heart.
Even Kidd can hit three-pointers without attacking, and then win the championship. Is there any reason why a younger kid can't do it?
The drill of the triangle offensive tactic was actually very enjoyable. After all, Paul was the only one who needed to adapt to the tactic, while the other four were cooperating in the drill.
Next, Blind Jiba doesn’t need to learn how to fight randomly, he is born with how to fight.
Then came the run-and-gun tactics.
Paul is a short man with a height of 183cm, so he is certainly not unfamiliar with him.
Then, there are the DD tactics and the one-star four-shot tactic in positional warfare.
In fact, the principle is very similar.
They are all tactics of core defenders dribbling the ball through.
In addition, Su Bei, Kobe, Gasol, and Artest all have jump shooting abilities, and these tactics are simple and easy to implement.
Basically, the triangle offensive tactic and other offensive tactics are nothing more than the difference between whether Paul plays without the ball or with the ball.
We are both veterans, not newbies. We are no strangers to these tactics, so we naturally adapt very quickly.
