NBA: At the beginning, the Polish star was so angry that he was reborn

Compared with the past, the Lakers' training progress this year is a bit slow.

Mike Brown's coaching staff is still helping players adapt to Princeton's offensive system.

To be honest, even a player like Yi Tian who has enough brains and experience has not fully grasped the essence.

Not to mention those comrades who are not very smart.

In this tactical system, the commonly used positioning method is: four outside and one inside.That is, two guards are positioned at the top of the arc, two forwards are positioned on the wings, and another player is positioned low or high inside.

At the beginning of the play, they will use a high frequency of passing and cutting and screens to create easy scoring opportunities.

The Princeton offense requires players to read and react to the defense, cooperating to get the best scoring opportunities inside and out.

During this period, to achieve this goal, it is likely to take 4-5 transfers to break the defense.

Otherwise, it is very likely that mistakes will be made due to eagerness to make a shot, or an offensive opportunity will be ruined due to hasty shots.

When implementing the Princeton offensive system, it is necessary to control the rhythm of the offense through quick cooperation or continuous transfer of the ball.

In this way, it will be difficult for the defender to grasp the intention and rhythm of the attack, so that they will not know how to start, and dare not make some defensive decisions hastily, which will increase the difficulty of defense.

The motto of "Princeton Play" is "Strong takes advantage of the weak, and smart takes advantage of the strong."

The essence of this style of play is "people move, ball moves, and coordination".

Human movement refers to movement without the ball, cutting and counter-running. Ball movement refers to continuous passing and sharing of the ball. Among them, counter-running is the signature of Princeton's style of play.

If you just learn and practice casually, it will be difficult for the players to fully understand this set of tactics. When they use it, the coordination will be tacit, the movement positions will not be clear, and the rote will only play the appearance of Princeton, but not the essence of Princeton.

To put it simply, Princeton's offense is not a quick-start offensive system. It requires a lot of practice, and players need to cooperate a lot to play the role of Princeton's offense.

It is like the Chinese internal exercises, which require a lot of time to practice.

If a young team in the rebuilding period has enough time to grow, then it is definitely worth a try.

But this is the Lakers. They exchanged draft picks for two superstars, not for the purpose of slowly developing.

What the Lakers need is to quickly form combat effectiveness, and then go to defend the championship.

Looking at Mike Brown, who was standing beside Eddie Jordan with a smirk, Yi Tian even wondered whether his head coach had fully understood the so-called Princeton himself.

Damn, who will dismiss the get out of class if you don’t dismiss it?

Yi Tian thinks it is enough to give the ball directly to Nash during the offense. This is a two-time MVP. Let Nash dominate the offense. Is there a problem?

To say that Mike Brown decided to let the Lakers play Princeton because of "Warcraft" Howard is even more wrong.

After three days of practice, Howard was the least suited to Princeton among the Lakers' starting five.

Princeton requires everyone to be able to read the defense and move the ball.

But the reality is that Howard's overall view and passing are relatively average, and the ball often stagnates in Howard's hands.

Mike Brown also found this problem. The Lakers players didn't seem to adapt to Eddie Jordan's Princeton.

But Eddie Jordan was invited by Mike Brown, and he gave up after only 3 days. Will it damage his image as a champion coach?

Moreover, Jenny Buss was not easy to explain. Thinking of that aggressive woman, Mike Brown couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

……

On October 10, the Lakers' first preseason game began.

In Staples, they will face the challenge of the Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors sent away their boss Monta Ellis in exchange for Australian center Andrew Bogut who took on all the pain.

Although Bogut's quality is poor, his strength should not be underestimated.

Their core Stephen Curry has also fully recovered from surgery. Judging from the lineup, the Warriors are a good team.

But obviously no one thinks they can be compared with the luxury battleship of the Lakers.

Only Yi Tian knows the later achievements of this Warriors. Now their lineup has been formed, and there is only one Iguodala away from the Warriors in version 1.0. (2.0 has Durant)

Since it was a preseason game, both sides were relatively relaxed, and the pre-match interviews were harmonious.

Today's Staples is full of seats as usual, and the Lakers have the hottest ball market in the league.

In particular, the arrival of Nash and Howard made it hard to get tickets for the Lakers. Even Jenny Buss raised the ticket price by 30% and failed to stop the enthusiasm of the fans.

The game starts soon.

Lakers starting lineup: Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Yi Tian, ​​Pau Gasol, Dwight Howard;

Warriors starting lineup: Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Harrison Barnes, David Lee, Andrew Bogut.

Howard and Bogut jump the ball in the middle circle.

Although Howard is affected by a back injury, it is not difficult to beat Bogut.

Howard dialed the ball to the backcourt with his fingertips, and Nash got the basketball.

Nash advances with the ball, his speed is not fast, Nash is waiting for his teammates to move.

In the past, the Lakers would usually give Kobe a single opener for the Lakers' first goal, and of course sometimes it would be Yi Tian.

But since the so-called Princeton is going to be practiced, naturally we can't go down the old road.

If you don't practice tactics in the preseason, do you have to wait until the regular season and playoffs to practice?

Howard settled inside, and Gasol and Yi Tian also pulled to the sides.

Kobe is on one side of the top of the arc, and such a basic position is formed.

Nash passed the ball to Bryant, and then ran to the inside.

Klay Thompson guarding Kobe, he was a little nervous.

But Kobe did not attack as usual, he distributed the ball to Yi Tian on the left wing.

In front of Yi Tian was Harrison Barnes, Yi Tian faltered for a moment, and directly shot a three-pointer.

The basketball crossed a beautiful arc and hit the net!

3 to 0!Yi Tian feels good today.

Yi Tian looked at Nash who was waving at him, and suddenly remembered something.

"Oh! I just voted when I saw the opportunity." Yi Tian said with some embarrassment.

"In the next round, I will definitely remember to play Princeton." Yi Tian promised Nash.

But in the Lakers' next round, there were still problems.

This time it was Nash who lost the chain. After he handed over the ball, he ran to the wrong position and overlapped with Kobe.

As a master passer, Nash needed the ball in his hands to be at his best.

Running off the ball and cutting is not his forte.

Fortunately, this has no effect. After Yi Tian passed the ball to Howard, "Warcraft" had no idea of ​​passing the ball.

He shook Bogut away with his footsteps and completed a "small hook".

The basketball hit the backboard and successfully fell into the basket.

Staples was boiling, and the audience cheered for Howard.

Mike Brown off the court was not happy. He glanced at Eddie Jordan and found that the latter was also frowning.

well!Mike Brown sighed.

What about Princeton?too difficult!
