Chapter 45 Main Tactic: Defensive Counterattack!

American Airlines Center.

The Heat practice on the court.

At this time, the Heat are divided into two teams and are practicing offensive and defensive tactics.

On the field, Alston is holding the ball to organize the offense. As the blue team, he is the side of the substitute players.

Malik Allen, Haslem, John Wallace, Samaki Walker are all in the same camp as Alston.

The main players are defending, the formation is shrinking, and the inside line is strictly guarded.

Wade is oppressing Alston who is holding the ball, and Ye Feng is also assisting in defense.

The other main players, Jones, Odom, and Brian Grant, all three put pressure on the side with the ball.

"Raff, you don't care about making mistakes, if you get hit by the zone defense, just pass the ball to the weak side.

The main players can steal the pass, but don't use your personal ability to steal the ball. The difference in strength between the two of you is too great.

Now it's just a training exercise, mainly to practice running positions and familiarize yourself with the essentials of tactics.

Substitute team, feed the main players as much as possible,

But also play with all your might and don't pretend.

If any of you perform well, you have a chance to fight for the starting position. "

"..."

Alston was speechless.

Feed the ball and run tactics?
How can you really fight?
Gritting his teeth, he can only pass the ball to Haslem on the right. Now that he is being defended by the zone, breakthrough is not a good option.

Alston pushed with both hands and divided the basketball to Haslem at 75 degrees on the right.

Snapped.

Suddenly, Jones stretched out his big hand and flew the basketball racket out.

At this time, Ye Feng rushed out, and Wade also strode forward, his body rushed up.

In an instant, the main players switched to an offensive rhythm, galloping like mercury pouring down the ground or a volcano erupting.

Fight back!Fight back!
Fast break, rush up.

Ye Feng took the lead, got the basketball, rushed to the frontcourt, and threw the basketball into the sky.

Wade, who was following behind, jumped up, and with a bang, he dunked with both hands and scored the basketball.

……

On the sidelines, head coach Stan Van Gundy applauded, smiled and said to Riley, "This is the Heat's main defensive counterattack tactic.

On defense, still refer to Jeff's defensive tactics, the Heat players shrink the inside line, use mobility, and perform a pseudo-zone defense against the ball holder.

If the offensive team passes the ball, as long as we are fast enough, we can switch defenses, even unlimited defenses.

Also, you can try to steal the ball and then play a quick counterattack. "

Riley nodded, knowing that this was a way to protect his own basket and not expose the weakness of the Heat's inability to protect the basket inside.

Now the Heat's starting center can only let Bryan Grant go up.

That guy played power forward, and his height was a bit disadvantageous, but now he has to play the center position.

If the Heat do not shrink the inside line, it is very likely that they will be bombed to death by the opponent's high-altitude bombing.

You know, Brian Grant is only 2 meters tall, which is the same height as the Pistons' Big Ben.

Odom is only 2 meters tall, and it is also difficult to play the center position.

Therefore, it is extremely important for the Heat to use mobility to defend.

Riley said lightly, "I'm still very relieved about Jeff's defensive tactics.

However, don't forget that our advantage is physical talent and player mobility, which is very important. "

Stan Van Gundy nodded, and continued, "Defensively, if you shrink the inside line, you may be killed by the opponent's three-pointer.

However, compared to blowing up the opponent's inside line, the Heat can still afford the loss of the three-point shooting percentage.

I will arrange defensive tactics for different opponents.

If the opponent's shooting is accurate, the Heat can expand to defend. In terms of mobility, the Heat's advantage is still very obvious.

Then, there is the counterattack after the defense.

The counterattack players are mainly Ye Feng and Wade.

The speed of both of them is very good, especially Wade, who is simply a sharp blade born for counterattack.

Ye Feng's shooting and speed can also share the offensive pressure of Wade's counterattack.

If Ye Feng's shooting is good, chasing three-pointers will definitely make the opponent feel better.

In addition, Odom and Jones are mainly responsible for passing the ball.

They have rich experience, wide vision, and can handle the ball. They should be able to smoothly transport the basketball to the frontcourt.

If the opponent's return to defense is fast, Odom and Jones can also rush back to the frontcourt and participate in the team's offense. At that time, there will definitely be a situation of more play and less play, which is beneficial to the Heat. "

Riley nodded, and there was nothing to criticize.

Even as the head coach of the current Heat team, what he can do is almost the same as what Stan Van Gundy is doing now.

"You can do all kinds of plans, which is very good.

Let's practice the defensive counterattack tactics like this first!
Also, how do you arrange the team's starting lineup and substitute lineup? Riley saw Ye Feng and Wade, two rookies who were put into the starting lineup at the same time, and raised his own doubts.

"Butler hasn't come back yet, I let Jones play small forward, isn't he known as Pippen's successor?
Playing the position of small forward should not be a big problem. Wait for Butler to come back and then look at his state before deciding on the final starting list.

Also, the Heat's current bench lineup still lacks a core player who leads the team to lead the offensive scoring.

Ralph Alston, certainly is difficult to take on this task, my thoughts are Butler or Odom, one of the two.

The rookies Ye Feng and Wade are playing the sixth man. I am a little worried. "

"..."

Riley was speechless.

Are you worried?

Can also put two rookies in the starting lineup.

Don't worry?
Do you really think the NBA league is so easy to play?

If the two rookies can withstand it, it will be a big joke.

However, he wasn't going to say it.

Wait until the preseason is over, look at the situation, and then think of a solution. If the two rookies can't play, maybe he doesn't need to talk too much, Stan Van Gundy can see the problem!

"Then let's wait and listen to Butler's thoughts at that time, and also see if our two rookies can withstand the impact of starting in the NBA."

……

Next, the Heat will conduct tactical training according to the current method to polish the team's defensive counterattack tactics.

Occasionally, I also practice positional warfare and practice how to break the positional defense.

Of course, the personal single training did not stop.

Tactical training is always boring.

Time flies, and it will soon be October, and the preseason will start soon.

The Heat's list of [-] players has also been confirmed.

Next, at least three or four players will be cut.

Whether they can survive or not depends on their performance in the preseason.

The list of players is as follows:

Point guards: Dwyane Wade, Ralph Alston, Smash Parker, Bimbo Coles.

Shooting guards: Eddie Jones, Ye Feng, Kirk Penney.

Small forwards: Caron Butler, John Wallace, Udonis Haslem, Matt Barnes.

Power forwards: Lamar Odom, Malik Allen, Samaki Walker, Jerome Beasley.

Centers: Brian Grant, Lauren Woods, Tyron Hill.
