Chapter 74 Fatal Vulnerability
Orson didn't see Rappers' plan, but he knew that it would be impossible not to change to a small lineup now.If he doesn't use the small ball tactics to charge, the point difference may be 20 points, which is unacceptable to him.
You must know that before the start of the game, he vowed to tell the players that Arizona has an absolute advantage in this game, but he did not expect to be beaten by the opponent at the beginning of the game so that he could not take care of himself.If you lose the game in the end, you will really slap yourself in the face, which is not a fun thing.
In desperation, Orson called a timeout, ready to let Terry play.Although he firmly believes that the team will regain the advantage on the court after changing to a small lineup, he always feels a little aggrieved.After all, I usually take the initiative to change into a small lineup to take away the opponent in waves, but now I have to make an early substitution under the pressure of the opponent. The result is the same, but the mentality is completely opposite.
So during the timeout, Orson seemed a little irritable. He waved the tactical board and shouted at the players: "Run, all of you! Run! Do you understand? We're going to let Opponents are eating dust behind our ass! You must always remember that we are the best small ball team in the entire NCAA. The guys at Villanova are just imitating us. There is nothing to be afraid of !"
Orson's big mouth seemed to have some effect. After the game restarted, Arizona's offense was still playing vigorously, and the rhythm of the offense was slowly raised.But soon Orson discovered a big loophole in the small ball tactics that the team has been using very smoothly, and that is rebounding.
In fact, for most teams that play small ball tactics, rebounding cannot be called a problem at all.Although they will remove the center to improve the rhythm of the game, the opponent's center often cannot keep up with their rhythm, so that there is time and space for rebounding.If the opponent also withdraws the inside line in order to adapt to the rhythm of the game, then the average height of the two sides will be almost the same, and each should rely on its own ability when grabbing rebounds.
But Villanova is different. They also use small ball tactics to compete with Arizona, but they still put an insider on the court, and that is Brand.Normally, when Brand was playing inside, he would be bullied by his opponents with his height advantage from time to time, but now he has become a monster inside, grabbing rebounds for a second offense is simply a piece of cake.What made Orson even more horrified was that Brand was able to barely keep up with the ultra-fast offensive rhythm of both sides. It was hard to imagine that he had such a burly body with such a speed. Subverted.
Why has the center always occupied an important position on the basketball court?The reason is that they can grab more rebounds by virtue of their height advantage, and rebounding is undoubtedly the lifeline of the team.Maybe a game can be won by losing rebounds, but it is impossible for any team to win in all games that lose rebounds, because they have fewer offensive rounds than their opponents, and their shooting percentage is obviously not enough. Always maintained at an extremely perverted level.
Although Arizona's small ball tactics helped the team open up the offensive end, they couldn't guarantee their shooting percentage or rebounds. The seemingly sharp offense was just a tree without roots and water without a source.
Sure enough, Orson's worries soon became a reality. The zone defense itself is not a very easy defensive system, coupled with the elite-level movement speed of McGrady and Battier, it is simply a nightmare for all offensive players.Villanova made a solid wall around the paint while harassing Arizona's players from beyond the arc, forcing them to solve problems with mid-range jumpers.
Although the "magic ball theory" has not yet been born, many people know that mid-range is actually the least cost-effective offensive method.
Arizona's players are obviously not used to scoring in this area. Except for Bibby and Terry, the other players are completely reduced to blacksmiths. The sound of "bang bang bang" is continuous, and the rebounds are all laughed by Brand. up.The tallest Arizona player on the floor, Bennett Davidson, a swingman at the third and fourth positions, also tried to get a piece of Brand's money, but got nothing but two long bouncers near the three-point line. Rebounds, this is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.
With Brand collecting rebounds at the basket, Villanova's players simply fired unscrupulously from beyond the three-point line. Anyway, they now have an absolute advantage in the interior, so why not make full use of it?
Putting aside the fact that Villanova's outside shooting percentage in this game is amazing, even if their outside shooting is average, it doesn't matter. Brand can always return most of the balls they miss.If he feeds like this crazily, no matter how inaccurate the three-pointer is, he will be raised abruptly. This is the benefit of having an advantage in rebounding.
Looking at Villanova's small ball tactics, Orson almost cried. He wanted to stand up and shout: "You cheat!" In his view, small ball tactics are fast offense and defense without the participation of insiders. What's up with Brand blasting our bigs out there?Can you still play small ball well?
But he can’t say such brazen words. No one stipulates that small ball tactics can’t play inside. Look at Villanova, put Brand in the fifth position of small ball tactics, it’s not the same. water up?
If Chang Wei knew what he was thinking, he would definitely laugh three times. It was his idea to let Brand play the fifth position in the small ball tactics, and he also made a targeted training plan for Brand.Before traveling back, Chang Wei, as a trainer and fan, was very clear about the development trend of basketball. The small ball trend will come soon. Against this background, a large number of new centers who can play both inside and outside As the times require, there are still a large number of players who were originally hovering between the third and fourth positions without hesitation in taking the fifth position in the small ball tactics. Now Chang Wei is at best planning for a rainy day.
In fact, at the end of the 20s, the small ball tactic was still a relatively advanced tactic, which is why the University of Arizona often blocks people and kills Buddhas this season.It's a pity that Chang Wei brought a new type of center that is more advanced and more in line with the historical trend to the stage ten years in advance. Facing the so-called small ball tactics like Arizona, which still has a lot of room for improvement, it is properly crushed.
