Budo recognized that Coach Anzai's tactics should be the Suns' bombardment and cover shooting tactics in the mid-1990s. But what Budo didn't know was that there were actually some deviations in his perception.
Because in this era, Nash, known as the Son of the Wind, has not yet joined the Suns. Coach Anzai's reference team for this set of tactics is actually the Warriors from 1989 to 1991.
That is, the classic tactics of the Warriors under the coaching of Nelson, the run-tmc combination.
run-tmBA stars Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond and Chris Mullin.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, these three players played for the Warriors at the same time and formed the famous "RUN-TMC" combination.
In the peak season of 1990-91, Mullin averaged 25.7 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4 assists per game, Richmond averaged 23.9 points, 5.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists, and Hardaway averaged 22.9 points, 4 rebounds and 9.7 assists. The three of them led the team to 44. Won 38, eliminated the Spurs 3-1 in the first round of the playoffs.
But in the second round, they lost 1-4 to the Lakers led by Magic.
The Warriors may not have been the strongest team of that era, but they were definitely a very capable team.
The legendary coach, Don Nelson, is the coach with the most wins in the entire NBA league. This coach not only used bombardment tactics in the 1990s when big centers were rampant, but also the famous shark-cutting tactic. Invented by the old man, his method of dealing with Shark O'Neal was later used by many other team coaches.
One of the cores of Coach Nelson's coaching philosophy is positional modeling, which is also the basic concept of small ball play.
The so-called position modeling means that players on the court do not stick to their own position, but set a predetermined framework for themselves. To give a simple analogy, if you are a center, you don't need to just stand in the paint or grab rebounds. You can also appear in other positions on the court, and even shoot three-pointers.
Coach Anzai, who is now explaining tactics to the players on the bench, actually wants to integrate this style of play into the offensive system of Shohoku High School. This sense of dislocation across time and space can't help but make Budo stunned.
Is the small ball method useful? Different eras, different teams.
There is a reason why the bombardment style of play that existed in the 1990s did not flourish in this era, but only became popular in the NBA decades later.
There are many reasons, including changes in defensive rules and the lack of future big centers. But the biggest reason is that there is no big center.
Coach Anzai's tactics actually don't fit that well with Shohoku High School.
Maybe in the eyes of others, a big center with the height and condition of Takenori Akagi cannot be considered a "big center", but the reality may be different from what everyone thinks.
Even though Akagi is less than two meters tall, he, Akagi, can really be considered a big center in high school. Akagi's moving speed is not very fast, at least compared with Budo, Mitsui Hisashi, Miyagi and others. Even Chiba Oishi is a bit faster than Takenori Akagi in moving. .
If Shohoku wants to play Coach Anzai's tactics, mobility must be guaranteed. Quick pick-and-roll cooperation is the core of this offense. Akagi, who is slow-footed, obviously does not meet the requirements.
"Do you all understand? I don't have anything to ask?" After Coach Anxi explained the tactical requirements to the players, the players remained silent. When Coach Anxi saw this, he couldn't help but ask.
Coach Anxi was puzzled as to why the players were silent. Could it be that his coaching skills were already so strong? Is there any doubt that the team members understood a new tactic so quickly after hearing it?
"No problem! Coach!" Miyagi Ryota's reply was the fastest, because in terms of tactical arrangements, he required relatively few operations. Dribbling the ball through the half court and allowing the ball to reach the designated position smoothly after passing the half court are all the requirements of this tactic for Miyagi.
It was not very difficult for Miyagi.
"Um...Coach, you mean, you need me to pull to the outside to pick-and-roll Mitsui, right?"
"But if this happens, won't the offensive power inside be gone?"
"Normally speaking, wouldn't it be better if the offense should revolve around the center? Being closer to the basket, the success rate of scoring can be higher."
Takenori Akagi looked at the tactical board in coach Anzai's hand and came to his senses. Although this was the first time he heard this tactic, Akagi was not a stupid person and he immediately understood the significance of this tactic.
Coach Anzai is planning to build a new offensive system around Mitsui Hisashi and Budo on the outside.
Before Budo joined Shohoku High School, Shohoku's offense was built around Mitsui Hisashi and him. In terms of ball rights, Mitsui Hisashi and he could be said to be evenly divided. But as soon as the martial arts came and the practice match with Lingnan High School started, Takenori Akagi's ball rights were greatly reduced. Not only him, but also Mitsui Hisashi's ball rights were greatly reduced.
At that time in the practice match, Akagi didn't feel much, because Budo's offensive efficiency was pretty good and helped the team win, and he didn't feel much about the reduction in his ball rights.
But if Coach Anzai's tactics are implemented, it means that his ball rights will be directly reduced from a strategic point of view. This is the delegation of status in the team, which will give Akagi a completely different feeling.
Although Akagi said it tactfully, he still wanted to fight for some rights for himself through this method.
"On offense, there is only scoring and no scoring, there is no inside or outside."
"No matter where you attack, scoring is the team's main goal!"
"Akagi, you need to adapt to the team's tactical changes."
Coach Anxi explained briefly, then looked at the others and asked again: "Where are the others? Is there anyone who doesn't understand?"
Akagi lowered his head silently after receiving Coach Anzai's answer. He could not refuse the coach's arrangement, but in his heart, he was still a little unwilling. In Akagi's view, this kind of offensive method is better than giving the ball directly to his hands and drilling inside.
Akagi is full of confidence in his own strength. He feels that with his strength, no player in the county can guard him. He was somewhat invisible in the game against Lingnan, mainly because he didn't have enough ball rights.
Mitsui Toshiwa and Budo have quite a lot of basketball experience and are quick to adopt new tactics. However, the other first and second grade students had many questions. After Coach Anzai answered them one by one, the gym became quiet again. down.
"In that case, let's conduct tactical drills for the rest of the day."
"For the rest of the afternoon, what you need to practice is this set of tactics. At the same time, you also need to develop a tacit understanding of switching defenses."
"I will break up the players and divide them into groups of five for tactical drills. While simulating an attack, the defender needs to make timely rotations to defend the attacking group."
Coach Anxi said and began to divide the players into groups. Takenori Akagi and Hisashi Mitsui formed a group with several second- and third-year players, while Budo, Miyagi, and Chiba Oishi formed another group with two players. The other team members also formed a team of five.
The tactical drill in Xiangbei began directly.
Yasuharu Yasuda was placed in Budo's group and played the role of ball control, while Budo and Miyagi stood on both sides of the three-point line and took on the role of initiating offense. On the inside, Tsunoda Satoru and Chiba Oishi, one acts as a power forward and the other acts as a center, practicing in pick-and-roll roles.
The entire court in the Xiangbei Arena is divided into two training areas, with two or three groups of players training in each half.
Budo and his team were divided into two groups in this half. Facing them was a temporary team composed of freshmen and second-year players. Shiozaki Tetsuji and others were all facing off against Budo and his team.
Yasuharu Yasuda is a new player who joined Shohoku in the same generation as Budo. Although he is a new player, his basketball foundation is quite solid. At the very least, his ball holding and passing skills are passable. He can find good passing opportunities and pass the ball. Give it to Miyagi or Budo.
During the half, Miyagi Ryota quickly broke into the paint after taking advantage of his teammates' pick-and-roll. When the defender rushed up to block Miyagi, Miyagi Ryota passed the ball without looking at anyone and directly passed the ball. The ball was given to the side, and when the ball reached the player, Wu Dao accurately received the basketball in the inside, and after one step, he stood up and dunked.
The smooth attack took only three or four seconds in total, and the group of players defending Martial Arts and his team didn't even react.
"Good pass, Miyagi!" After the slam dunk, Budo and Miyagi high-fived and praised. Miyagi's passing awareness is really good, and the amount of advance he gives is just right. The position of the martial arts ball is just with his hands in front of his chest, which is also very comfortable.
In general, although the two of them did not cooperate that much in sports battles, they already had a tacit understanding.
Next, the two groups began to communicate repeatedly. After Wu Dao and his group attacked ten times, the two groups switched offense and defense. On the offensive end, Budo and his team played very smoothly, giving the impression that this tactic is very simple.
But when the offense and defense switched and another group started to attack, those people knew that they were overthinking.
Wu Dao did not let go at all on the defensive end. Although the Xiangbei players who faced him used pick-and-rolls to get past Wu Dao, Wu Dao's pursuit speed was terrifying. Players who wanted to lay up were repeatedly blocked by martial arts. They were blocked three or four times in a row, which made it impossible for the training to continue.
The covered first-year student still wanted to let Wu Dao let loose and not pursue so fast, but what he received was Wu Dao's slightly scolding words: "After the pick-and-roll screen breakthrough, I didn't just let you go for a stupid layup. After a breakthrough, you still need to observe your opponent’s movements.”
"It doesn't mean that everything will be fine once you break through!"
"Also, when you dribble the ball, don't keep looking at the ground and the ball. This shortcoming is very serious and must be corrected. Your eyes need to look elsewhere, to observe your opponents and teammates!"
"When you encounter difficulties, don't look for the reason from others, look for the problem within yourself!"
Jinguji Martial Arts doesn't let things slip during training. If you don't train hard and let things slip, it will become a loophole when it comes to the competition field.
Budo hopes to lead Xianghoku High School to win the national championship, but if there are only five main players, the national championship is obviously unrealistic!
Their other substitutes in Xiangbei also need to train well to make themselves stronger, so when faced with the opponent's request to release, Wu Dao retorted mercilessly.
"..." The team member who was spoken to by Wu Dao felt a little ashamed, blushed, lowered his head and said no more. Wu Dao's merciless words also made the training atmosphere a little awkward.
Fortunately, Chiba Oishi was considered a qualified senior and came out to smooth things over, so the training continued.
The player whose problem was pointed out by Wu Dao was not a piece of mud who couldn't stand up to the wall. After Wu Dao finished speaking, he was obviously paying attention to his own problem and observed the situation on the court as much as possible when dribbling.
However, his dribbling foundation was a bit weak, and he repeatedly made dribbling errors, which made their team's offense stumble and greatly slowed down their training progress.
Regarding the opponent's mistakes, Wu Dao was somewhat tolerant. He did not say anything because of the opponent's mistakes. Instead, he took the trouble to accompany him in training over and over again.
Martial arts are not the kind of unreasonable people. Attitude issues need to be pointed out. Ability issues are just a matter of practice. No one is born with the ability to play. And Chiba Oishi is really considered a qualified senior. He does not complain when the team members make mistakes, but instead encourages the team members loudly.
For a time, the training atmosphere in this half became harmonious, and the players were all focused on practicing the new system.
The other side of the field. Hisashi Mitsui led the team members to conduct tactical drills. He was partnered with Akagi, Konobu Kigure and others. Konobu Kingure and Hisashi Mitsui served as the initiators of the attack. As for the ball control task, it was performed by a third-year player.
Takenori Akagi on the inside is one of the pick-and-roll players.
Unlike their relatively smooth training in martial arts, Mitsui Hisashi's training was really stumbling.
"Hey! Akagi, can you move faster and improve the pick-and-roll!"
"The defender is stepping on the three-point line, what are you doing standing over at the free throw line?!"
On the court, Hisashi Mitsui received a pass from his teammate outside the three-point line and dribbled the ball for three or four seconds. Akagi's pick and roll was delayed. Mitsui Hisashi felt a little impatient and shouted directly at Akagi. .
After being called out, Akagi slowly prepared to take the position, but at this time, Mitsui Hisashi broke through quickly before Akagi picked and rolled. The next second, the players guarding him and the players who were supposed to defend Akagi in the interior quickly surrounded Mitsui Hisashi and completed the attack on Mitsui. Double teamed. Helpless Mitsui Hisashi could only pass the ball back.
It's back in the hands of the point guard.
At this time, the point guard Akagi moved quickly towards the basket. The player in charge of the ball saw that Akagi was in a good position and passed the ball to Akagi with a long pass. Akagi easily made a layup.
After scoring the goal, Akagi couldn't help but feel a little proud. Sure enough, he is still quite important!
"Mitsui, if you can't score, pass the ball to me!" Akagi said to Mitsui Hisashi, then picked up the basketball and threw it to his teammates on the outside, allowing them to organize a new round of offense.
Mitsui Hisashi, who was originally annoyed because Akagi didn't follow the tactics of the pick-and-roll, suddenly became angry when he heard Akagi's words.
"Before you say this, please understand your running position first!"
"If I still don't have a chance to take a shot after you pick and roll, and you are open, I will give the ball to you!"
"Of course! The requirement is that you show me the running position first!
"
"If you can't do it, don't play! You know, I'm the captain and I have this right!"
Mitsui Shou's voice was not high when he spoke, and it seemed that he lowered his voice deliberately. Mitsui Hisashi was actually able to understand some of Akagi's little thoughts. While taking into account Akagi's face, he also did not forget to remind Akagi.
"Hmph! I hope you can score the ball well!"
Akagi is not a fool. Mitsui Hisashi's words are both a threat and a reminder. Although Akagi is dissatisfied with Mitsui Hisashi, he does not dare to resist Coach Anzai's tactical arrangements.
In the next few rounds of offense, Akagi would strangely go to the designated position to perform pick-and-rolls. Hisaya Mitsui was very stable, either making a layup or passing the ball to the open Kimugure Kimibu for the opponent to finish.
During this period, Takenori Akagi also had an open mid-range opportunity. Hisashi Mitsui gave the ball to Akagi's hands. Akagi shot from an open position. The basketball hit the backboard and popped out directly, wasting an offensive opportunity.
Hisashi Mitsui also seized this opportunity and said sarcastically: "You can shoot so crookedly when you are open, you should practice shooting!"
"If you can't practice well, you can come and ask me for advice! After all, I am the captain, so I should help my teammates!"
Mitsui Hisashi's words made Akagi blush, which stung Akagi's self-esteem and also gave Akagi a deep sense of shame.
"Damn guy, isn't it just shooting? I will definitely practice it, and my shooting will definitely be more accurate than yours!"
