Chapter 23 The importance of the tactical system to the team

Old K, Wojciechowski, Collinson, and James sat in the auditorium on the sidelines to observe the players' status so as to determine the starting lineup for the next game.

When seeing Zhang Zifeng of the second team making consecutive shots, the old K said: "Chris, that Chinese guy Jack has a good shooting touch recently, and his scoring has increased a lot!"

Collinson nodded and said, "Yes, during this period of time Jack's shooting percentage was 41.7%, which is barely qualified for the shooting guard position!"

James, who has always liked Zhang Zifeng, said with a smile, "Hey, Chris, don't double-standard. A 41.7% field goal percentage in the game is not only qualified, but very, very good!"

The other two people laughed and joked with James for a while, and the old K sighed, "The hard work of the Chinese people really has to be praised. No wonder China can develop so fast, which is inseparable from their hard work. Yes. Just take Jack as an example. When he first came here, he was really weak. His physical confrontation was the worst in the team. training, became an important member of the team, and now has the strength to become a starter!"

Wojciechowski looked at Zhang Zifeng who kept running on the court, and said: "Mike, I admit that Jack is capable of starting at the moment, but I think we should look again. It's almost February now, and the team's The tactical system has basically been finalized, if it is changed rashly, I am afraid that the team will be confused and need to start running again!"

Old K sighed and said, "You're right. The team's tactics are basically finalized now. If you change them rashly, I'm afraid it will affect the preparations for the championship. This Jack will really cause problems for people. If a month earlier If he has this kind of strength, I will definitely let him start."

James knew that Wojciechowski and Old K were telling the truth. Although he wanted to say a few words for Zhang Zifeng, he remained silent in the end.After all, there is only more than one month left before the championship, and a stable and mature tactical system is the most important thing.

A team's tactical system can't be formed by just two or three sentences from the coach.

Basketball is a team sport, and it is impossible to go long in the fierce league with only five starters.

Don't talk about reality, it doesn't even work in fantasy.

In the well-known "Slam Dunk", Xiangbei did not even pass the third round of the national competition. The biggest reason is that the substitute is weak. When the main force is injured and physically weak, no one can stand up.

So starting is the key, but the substitute is also very important.

When the main players are resting, the substitute lineup must play a role. Even if it cannot help the team establish an advantage, at least it must be able to bite the score and prevent the point difference from widening.

When letting the main force come back after a breather, there is no need to spend more energy filling the hole.

But who will be the starter?Who will be the substitute?

Whoever has more ball possessions will have more offensive opportunities in the game.Who needs to make sacrifices and reduce the ball.

Moreover, in the distribution of ball rights, the mentality of the players needs to be considered.

Why let him start and let me be a substitute.

Why should I reduce my offensive opportunities, why not let him reduce them.

Will there be resistance when the main force becomes a substitute?

Can you adapt, can you show your strength?
These are all questions.

Everyone is a person with thinking ability, and it is not just the head coach who can solve the problem by saying whoever goes up and who goes down, not even the old K who has a very high prestige.

Everyone wants to go to the NBA, and everyone knows that they need to perform well in the game to have a chance to go to the NBA.

I just want to go to the NBA and perform well under your command, so I obey your command.

I can't realize my wish, why should I follow your command.

When the players don't cooperate, at this time, the coach needs to come up with dry goods, and the team can be integrated by combining grace and strength.

For example, if you are a substitute, give you more offensive power to ensure your chance to play!

For example, do you want to play?
For example, do you still want a full scholarship?

It's a decision for the head coach to make.

Although letting Zhang Zifeng start is more conducive to the team's offensive and defensive balance.But this is just an assumption, and whether it is really suitable can only be verified through competition.

Moreover, the team's tactical system needs time to adapt. Just like Zhang Zifeng is now going to replace Hood in the starting lineup, the coach must first redesign the tactical system.

There is only so little space in the half court. The offensive routes of the five players cannot overlap, otherwise they all run together, which will only cause the team to fall into chaos.

Zhang Zifeng needs to be familiar with his own offensive line, and then point guard Cook and the team's core Parker need to know Zhang Zifeng's offensive line.

Because once they get into the interior and encounter obstacles during the offense, it is impossible for them to have a long time to think, and they must pass the ball out immediately.

This requires them to know the position of their teammates, know which direction they will run when attacking, and where they should pass the ball.

A tactical system is not just a single tactic, there are N kinds of tactics to deal with different situations.

After a certain period of training, players can be fully familiar with this tactical system.

It is often seen during the game that the head coach of an NBA team will take a few pieces of paper out of his pocket to take a look.

It is because there are too many tactics, sometimes they need to look at them to remember.

After changing the starting lineup, not only the offensive system, but also the defensive system must be changed, whether it is a two-three defense or a two-one-two defense, or man-to-man and so on.

And the most important point is whether this tactical system can be successful or not, it must be verified by the game to determine whether it is feasible.

Find out the problem during the game, make adjustments to the tactical system, verify it in the game, and then run it in, so that it can really take shape.

Just like many teams made major deals before the season and changed the team's starting lineup. Although the team's strength is very strong on paper, there are generally relatively large ups and downs at the beginning of the season, because the team has not yet successfully run in.

Even changing the lineup may cause the team to fail for the entire season!

The Heat formed the Big Three in 2010. As a result, after 17 games at the beginning of the season, the Heat's record was only 9 wins and 8 losses, which was surprising.

During the season, the team slowly adjusted and the tactical system gradually matured, and the Heat's record soared all the way.

However, although the Heat made it to the finals that year, who is the core of the team, James or Wade?Who will the ball be given to at critical moments?Has been bothering the Heat.

At the last moment of the game, the Heat's offensive system fell into chaos and could only rely on singles.Only then did the Mavericks have the opportunity to stage a reversal many times, winning the championship with a total score of 4:2.

It took a season to run-in and verify that the Heat finally determined James as the core of the team. This made the Heat's tactical system truly take shape and won the championship in the 2011-12 season.

It's like the Lakers acquired Howard and Nash through trades in 2012, forming a new "F4" combination.

However, due to running-in and tactical problems, the performance of the new "F4" combination was disappointing, and was swept by the Spurs with a score of 0::4 in the first round of the playoffs.

With Howard's departure in 2013, the new "F4" failed.

A stable and mature tactical system is very important to the team!
Zhang Zifeng didn't know what the coach on the sidelines was thinking, otherwise he would have come over to explain loudly, and then patted his chest to assure that I would definitely make the team better and not make the team chaotic.

It's a pity that he doesn't know it at all, he is still continuing shooting training, and continuing to work hard for the team to start!
