“Is this guy this type of player?”
From the kickoff to the martial arts three-pointer, it only took a short four or five seconds. Old Coach K saw the Oak Hill players who had just crossed the center line and ran a short distance and started to retreat. Looking at the martial arts, he couldn't help but murmured.
In his coaching career, he has actually seen players like Wu Dao.
In high school, I had a good basketball foundation and had outstanding talent that surpassed the average person. When I got to the basketball court, after playing a few games, I felt that I could do anything.
Then he became a lone wolf, taking away most of the offensive ball rights, ignoring the team, and only letting himself play happily and smoothly.
Such players, without exception, will never go long in basketball.
After developing a habit, some people met talents who were more outstanding than their own talents. Some people met strong teams with rich coaching experience and tacit team cooperation, and were locked up by zone defense. Some people were promoted to college. Then his talent could not support his ambition, and he was lost to everyone.
In Coach K's long coaching career, he has seen too many such players.
Therefore, when he saw Wu Dao's handling of the ball, Coach K was disappointed.
It is true that just looking at Wu Dao's body shape and the physical test data provided to him by Coach Smith, Wu Dao can definitely be regarded as a person with outstanding talents.
But in the opinion of old coach K, this way of playing has destined that martial arts will not be able to continue on the road of basketball.
Maybe someone will use Kobe as an example to show that a lone wolf can also play in the NBA and become a superstar.
However, the fact is that Kobe averaged 5.4 assists per game in the four playoffs, which is not low among players of the same type.
The impression of the little blacksmith is only because he occupies most of the team's shot rights, which gives people this feeling. Kobe's playing can't be said to be selfless, but when it comes to being a lone wolf, it really can't be called a lone wolf.
During the Lakers dynasty, the most efficient offensive method of the OK combination was actually the Sharks' high pick-and-roll followed by the pass. Kobe had many options after using the pick-and-roll to break through.
It was only after the explosive locker room conflicts and Kobe's words "Shaq did the same thing" that the dynasty began to fall apart.
In the eyes of an academic coach like Coach K, he doesn't like the style of martial arts.
On the court, Bethel High School advances very quickly, perhaps because it once had players like Iverson, and the overall rhythm of Bethel High School is quite fast.
In just a few seconds, the basketball has been passed into the frontcourt. Wu Dao's defensive position is relatively outside. Bethel High School seems to know that Wu Dao has a large radiation range on the defensive end and deliberately avoids his half zone.
Then using the pick-and-roll inside, Bethel High School's point guard directly invaded Oak Hill's inside line and shot the basket.
However, what greeted him was a huge blow from Oak Hill's inside players.
Overall, the average height of Oak Hill is higher, and in terms of player talent, it is also ahead of the opponent. This is especially obvious on the forward line.
The blocked basketball directly gave Wu Dao an advantage. Just as he was about to start a fast break, he was surprised to find that the Bethel High School players had begun to retreat quickly.
"The quality of the players is quite outstanding."
Wu Dao passed the ball to the team's defender, then slowly slowed down his pace and slowly pressed towards the frontcourt.
Coach K, who was already preparing to leave the table, slowly sat back down after seeing Oak Hill slow down the rhythm.
It's hard to come here, let's watch it for a while.
With this in mind, Coach K watched the players from Oak Hill High School enter the frontcourt one after another.
Perhaps Coach Smith wanted to give Budao some opportunities to show his personal abilities. He stood on the sidelines and shouted to the players on the court:
"Play T tactics! Play T tactics!"
Others don't know what Coach Smith's T-tactics are, but Oak Hill High School has already made changes in running on the court.
Wu Dao sank directly towards the basket after being helped by a teammate's off-ball pick-and-roll.
At the same time, basketball quickly fell to martial arts.
Budo caught the ball with his back to the basket, and the next second he took possession of the basketball, the Bethel High School players who didn't understand why were double-teamed by Budo.
This directly led to an opening on the outside of Oak Hill.
Without any pause, Wu Dao got the basketball and passed it directly outside the three-point line.
After his teammates got the basketball, they made a slight adjustment and then directly shot a three-pointer.
"Dang~~"
After a crisp sound, the basketball jumped directly out of the basket, and Wu Dao, who had already entered the basket, quickly got stuck. Relying on his excellent physical condition, he pushed the ball toward the outside when the basketball fell, and the basketball was given to him again. In the hands of teammates.
Adjust with the ball, then shoot and send the ball away.
This time, there were no accidents. The basketball went directly into the net, and the scoreboard on the side of the court also read 6:0.
The substitute players in the Oak Hill dugout cheered loudly after seeing their teammates score.
"Um?"
This round of Oak Hill's attack made Old Coach K, who was watching the game, couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Oak Hill's offense in this round was very strange.
In this round of attack, Oak Hill already has two strikers inside. Moreover, Bethel High School also had two inside players standing inside, but in this round, Martial Arts still sank into the inside.
This makes an already small area extremely crowded.
If entering the inside is just to attract the opponent's defense and give outside players a chance to attack, the best way for Oak Hill is actually to reduce one inside player and let Budao directly play power forward or center.
In this way, Wu Dao's personal ability can also be brought into play to a certain extent, and in the opinion of old coach K, with Wu Dao's physical condition and current technical level, Bethel High School will definitely double-team him if they want to guard him.
But now Oak Hill's style of play has made the entire inside area very bloated.
There is no extra space.
For the offensive side, it is very important to maintain the offensive space. Only the defensive players need to reduce the space as much as possible to reduce loopholes.
Although Oak Hill scored this goal, this team played very strangely.
Coach K couldn't figure out the way for a while, so he sat back on his seat and looked carefully.
The offense and defense alternated. After Bethel High School failed to break through the inside, it tried an outside attack. After receiving the basketball, the point player relied on his excellent personal ability to directly drop the ball to break through after continuous feints.
Then he took a step inside the three-point line and shot directly from the high post.
The whole series of actions was quite good, and the basketball also hit the net, breaking the scoring drought for Bethel High School.
When the ball was exchanged, Coach K also cheered up.
Oak Hill's tactics remained unchanged. After entering the frontcourt, Wu Dao did not stay on the outside and ran directly towards the inside. Although the defensive players were very tight, Budao stopped directly when he was still about one meter away from the paint area.
Then he turned around, stuck his opponent behind him, and reached out for the ball.
While Wu Dao was in position, his teammates at the top of the arc also noticed, and gently tossed the ball directly to Wu Dao.
Wu Dao caught the ball with his back to the basket, held the ball high in one hand, and turned his head slightly to look in the direction of the basket.
At the same time, Oak Hill's two inside players had already vacated and left the basket. One went to the mid-range in the reverse direction of Martial Arts, and the other ran towards the free throw line.
The player who was originally standing at the top of the arc also went to the bottom corner on the same side of the martial arts at this moment, and another player moved to the 45° corner position on the same side of the martial arts.
The entire team's movements revolve around martial arts.
"Triangle offense?"
"It's a little different, but it should be a change from the triangle offense."
"Is it based on the tactics specifically formulated by Wu, a player?"
Just as Old Coach K was thinking this, he saw Wu Dao on the field make a wrong step. The next second he turned around with the ball, he directly connected with a hip change, then raised the ball and made a fake move, leaning forward slightly. The ball was put into the basket.
With his skillful and deft low-post steps, he directly flew the Bethel High School power forward and easily put the ball into the basket.
Coach K was not surprised by this. He just glanced at Martial Arts twice and then didn't pay much attention to it.
The footwork is very basic. If you ask him to say it, the defensive players are too impatient.
Soon, Bethel High School launched a new round of offense. The previous outside single score gave the shooting guard of Bethel High School some sweetness.
This time, it was still a singles game with the ball, but this time he held the ball a little too long. Oak Hill was double-teamed when he broke through.
Forced the opponent to pass a pass and grabbed the basketball.
The offense and defense alternated, and Oak Hill repeated its old tricks. The basketball was still given to Wu Dao in the mid-range position. This time, Wu Dao was slightly further from the basket.
In order to be able to see clearly whether someone was being double-teamed, Wu Dao quickly swept the ball frame after getting the basketball, and after a tentative step, he directly took a pull-up jump shot.
The basketball hit the board directly into the net at a 45° angle, causing another burst of cheers to erupt in the Oak Hill dugout.
Seeing this, Coach K's face finally changed slightly. From the beginning to now, Oak Hill's offense has always revolved around the player Wu Dao.
And Martial Arts actually scored 7 points in such a short period of time. This kind of terrifying offensive efficiency is really amazing.
After looking at these rounds of offensive and defensive transitions, coach K also saw some tricks.
Martial Arts' height condition is very good. Even if he faces the two insiders from Bethel High School, he will not suffer at all. And compared to the two insiders, Wu Dao is very fast, and his hand movements are also very dexterous. He has shooting, footwork, and speed, and can completely control his opponent.
At the same time, it is impossible for Bethel High School to let a small forward in the same position play the same position as Fang Wu Dao, because the small forward of Bethel High School is only over 190cm tall, which is less than half a head taller than Wu Dao.
It's impossible to guard against the opponent at that distance.
Of course, Bethel High School can completely use double teams to surround Budo, but similarly, the movement of other Oak Hill players is also to allow Budo to have enough passing options when holding the ball.
Given his height, double-teaming by outside players will have very little effect on him.
Moreover, when Wu Dao attacks with the ball, he is very fast and has a wide range of movements. When he drops the ball and hits hard, it is difficult for other players to follow up and double-team.
If you want to form a double-team, the first thing to do is to allow the team's inside players to put a considerable amount of pressure on Wu Dao.
Let Wu Dao hold the ball longer, so that there is the possibility of double-teaming.
but
No matter which one of Oak Hill's two insiders is, it seems that they do not have such ability at present.
Under the watchful eye of old coach K, Oak Hill High School and Bethel High School had several rounds of quick confrontations. Oak Hill seems to have made up its mind to play martial arts. With the efforts of Bethel High School players, martial arts took 9 shots and easily scored 7 of them.
Counting free throws before and after, the score has reached 17 points.
At this time, it was only six or seven minutes before the game started.
The outstanding offensive efficiency has already made the Bethel High School coach very anxious on the sidelines.
Budo who gets into the low post is very difficult to defend, and their team doesn't have the kind of players to stop Budo's offense. Bethel High School also tried several double-teams, but the effect was not good. Wu Dao's vision is very wide, and he is tall and has long hands, so he can easily pass the ball.
Not afraid of double-teaming at all.
After a few attempts, Bethel High School gave up on the double-team idea.
The coach at Bethel High School realized that traditional defense for a star player like Budo might not be effective.
After calling a timeout, the Bethel High School coach asked the players to play "tough" and use their bodies reasonably within the limits allowed by the penalty.
After such an instruction, Wu Dao obviously felt that his offensive pressure suddenly increased a lot after returning to the court.
The defensive aggressiveness of forward players from strong American high schools is simply not comparable to those of Neon players. Not to mention the major centers in Kanagawa Prefecture, even the national-level Masashi Kawada is physically worse than these people.
Although Wu Dao is very powerful, he cannot be as hard-hitting as a traditional inside line. If he plays like this, his physical energy consumption will be very large.
After the opponent's movements became larger, Martial Arts also quickly signaled the players to change formations.
Bethel High School seems to have forgotten that Wu Dao is not actually an inside player!
The catch point changed from low to high.
The two Oak Hill insiders who usually created space did not leave the basket for a moment.
The offensive methods of martial arts have also been changed, adding more projections and reducing some breakthroughs.
In a normal person's mind, shooting can't kill someone.
Under the current basketball rules and competition intensity, the shooting percentages of outside players are generally not high. For example, the shooting percentages of the four major shooting guards in their peak period are basically in the 40-45% range.
When the competition is intense, it's not even 40.
Like high school students, even worse.
Therefore, in this era, the center is what every team pursues most.
only.
The projection of martial arts seems to be different from what others have in mind.
His physical condition prevents him from encountering much defensive resistance in shooting.
Therefore, by the second half, Oak Hill already led its opponent by 26 points, 63:37.
Wu Dao alone scored 37 points in the first half alone, which was a level ahead of all other players.
