Philadelphia Lighthouse!

As soon as this tactic appeared on the court, not only Chen Mu, but almost all the players who had participated in the Philadelphia 76ers games in the past two seasons reacted, with a look of surprise, and involuntarily looked at the Spurs' bench and looked at the angry old drunkard.

Even Carlisle, the new coach who just came to the team this season, was stunned, and he didn't expect that the Spurs, the big demon king in the West for many years, would actually use such a "non-Spurs" tactic.

Although since the beginning of the 2007 season, the Spurs have been quite significantly accelerated, both offensive and defensive, slowly but continuously reducing Duncan's "role". Fewer back-to-back singles, fewer one-on-one knocks, less defensive stalwarts. Even in the past decade or so, one of the favorite things that Spurs perimeter players like to do is "guide the opponent's breakthrough player to Duncan and see how Duncan slaps them to death" has done very little.

However, at this time, the Spurs, after all, are still in the throes of transformation, and Popovich's own tactical skills are far from reaching the point of rebellion in the future. Everything is in the process of exploration, and the style of play, tactics, and style are constantly changing, and there is no definite number at all.

The tactic that is now appearing in front of the Philadelphia 76ers players is a bold attempt made by the aging Spurs during that time.

The core of this tactic is to stand at the free throw line with an interior player with sufficient passing and offensive ability. The remaining four will need to have a three-point shot and can cover each other, quickly traversing each other's positions and looking for open shots.

In this tactic, the interior player at the free-throw line is undoubtedly the most important part. He's like a giant beacon on the court, and the rest of the players are boats cruising around, endlessly moving, finding opportunities to shoot from a distance or cut through the basket.

Theoretically. This style of play is definitely not the original invention of Philadelphia, let alone the invention of Cheeks or Chen Mu. The ivory tower of basketball tactics NCAA is not to say, but in the NBA, there are not a few teams and players who use this tactic.

For example, Zhang Erwan, who everyone is familiar with, frequently used this tactic to attack in the Lakers stage in the middle and late stages of his career. Standing at the free throw line or holding the ball in the ribs, he uses his amazing reach to control the movement of the basketball, keep an eye on all his teammates, and deliver lethal passes.

Other than that. Bird Bird, who will be known to magicians for a while, is also one of the masters of lighthouse tactics. Compared to his predecessors, Big Bird has a better vision and more delicate passing techniques. The most important thing is that his mid-to-long-range shooting is BUG-level tough, and his personal attack power should not be underestimated. With a few points combined, Big Bird's lighthouse tactics are more agile and more difficult to guard against.

In addition, Weber, Garnett, etc., which are closer to our time. The all-round interior lineman with a wonderful passing strategy has more or less used lighthouse tactics.

But why, is it Philadelphia's lighthouse tactics that have the name of Philadelphia Lighthouse?

"Spurs attack. Philadelphia Lighthouse! ”

Smith saw the clue and stared at the court with full attention, constantly commenting on the game.

Duncan stood at the free throw line with the ball in his hands and held it high with both hands. A pair of emotionless eyes glanced around, constantly looking for space to pass.

Parker and Ginobili staggered at the top of the arc, overlapping Lowry and Korver's defensive paths for a split second.

This moment. Finley descended to the bottom corner on the right and landed into the corner with Bonner's cover.

Ginobili and Parker, who had completed the staggered process, also immediately moved on to the next step. Parker sprinted past Duncan and rushed to the basket, while Ginobili went into the three-second zone from a 45-degree angle on the left side to meet the outside-cut Bonner.

In the end, Bonner smoothly cut outside to the baseline to stand on the ground, and Ginobili also ran back, pulling away to the 45-degree three-point line, and the Spurs' offensive run was ready to end.

"Typical Philadelphia lighthouse, nice COPY tactics!"

Smith nodded in admiration, the Spurs' tactical execution was flawless, and this time COPY the proud tactics of the Philadelphia 76ers, how will the 76ers respond?

How do you deal with the tactics you are best at when they are used by your opponents?

Pass!

At the moment when Ginobili returned to the three-point line, Duncan sent a pass, Ginobili held the ball and directly transferred the baseline Bonner, Bonner held the ball and immediately passed to the basket.

Parker was in place, and after receiving the ball, he didn't need to make any adjustments at all, and went straight to the layup to score.

“NICE！！”

The fans finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after holding back for so long and not being able to play a beautiful offense, the Spurs finally suffered a lot. A wonderful tactical coordination, the Philadelphia side was dizzy, and there was no way to crack it.

The key is that the Spurs' offensive tactics this time are Philadelphia's proud tactics, and it feels so cool to use it so arrogantly in front of the opponent, and the opponent has no way at all!

"It's really beautiful, every time I see this tactic, I will sigh, basketball tactics, it's amazing!"

Barkley was also fascinated by the Spurs' exquisite cooperation this time, and couldn't help shaking his head and said: "At that moment just now, the Spurs got at least five possible vacant opportunities through a round of full running. If any team is changed to defend, it is impossible to completely seal the Spurs' tactical coordination. ”

"Oh......? Five?? Smith was stunned when he heard this, and said, "I thought it was four!" ”

"Hehe, because you're a stupid fork." The fat man always spoke so directly: "Tell me, which four opportunities?" ”

"Hmm......" Smith frowned and thought, "The first is Ginobili's inside cut and then the reverse outside cut, if Iguodala doesn't keep up, Ginobili will have a three-point chance." ”

"The second is Bonner's baseline, if Ginobili catches the ball and throws the ball directly in the direction of the bottom corner three-pointer, Bonner can retreat outside the three-point line early and catch the ball and attack the basket. Of course, the premise is that the defense on the Philadelphia side can't keep up, and the chicken is stolen by Bonner. ”

"The third is Parker's layup, which is the chance for the Spurs to actually score. If you have a good grasp of the time and the rhythm, this opportunity is almost unsolvable. ”

"The fourth opportunity is after Parker catches the ball under the basket, if Lowry is a little tougher on defense just now, so that Parker can shoot for less time. Then Parker alone can attract the defense of two people from Philadelphia in the restricted area, and when the shot is stunted, Korver, who is defending Finley near the baseline, will inevitably return to the basket. Then there will be a little space for Finley, Parker passes, and Finley can shoot an open three-pointer. ”

After speaking, Smith himself frowned and recalled carefully, and finally nodded firmly: "That's right, these are the four opportunities." ”

"Don't think about it anymore? Are you really going to turn in the papers? Barkley smiled playfully.

"I must have missed something, but the problem is that I don't know what I'm missing!" Smith was like a tongue twister.

"Haha, silly fork, listen, where is the fifth chance!"

Barkley just wanted to show off here, but Smith glanced at the court but exclaimed, and said loudly: "Let's continue to watch the game first, the Philadelphia 76ers counterattacked here, and the tactics given are exactly the same as the Spurs, Philadelphia Lighthouse!" ”

Philadelphia Lighthouse for 76ers!

The knowledgeable fans all exclaimed in surprise and gasped involuntarily.

Although the Spurs did a beautiful job, they used this run to score two points, which was very morale-boosting. But this tactic is someone else's, and we use it to attack stronger, but if people use it, can we defend against it?

Moreover, if we hadn't used this tactic to the death, people might not have thought that positional warfare could be dealt with this tactic! It's good now, we took advantage of a round, and when we come back, we have to be beaten back, isn't this more than worth the loss?

What's going on in Popovich's head?

"Chen!"

Philadelphia wants to run the Philadelphia Lighthouse, and Chen Mu is naturally the best candidate for the Lighthouse. Receiving the ball on the free throw line, Chen Mu quietly waited for his teammates around him to run.

Compared with the Spurs' personnel selection, Lowry and Iguodala at the top of the arc are the Spurs' Parker and Ginobili. Neither man can be considered a marksman at the level of a three-point shooter, but the all-around skills of the breakthrough and mid-range make them the key to completing the most complex part of this strategy.

Korver, who landed in the bottom corner for the first time, is naturally equivalent to Finley of the Spurs, and the sharpshooter is a threat as long as he stands there.

And Bonner's role, temporarily taken by Milicic, although there is no three-point shooting, Milicic has more comprehensive mid-range and basket attack skills, and is a better finisher than Bonner.

After the basic run is complete, start passing.

"Whoosh"

Chen Mu passed the ball to Iguodala, who cut outside, and the starting style was exactly the same as the Spurs' choice.

In fact, there are many different ways to really start this tactic, and it doesn't have to be started from the first passer.

But the boys of the Philadelphia 76ers are doing this now, and it is not difficult to think of the reason without much explanation:

Hit us with our tactics in front of us?

Then we'll fight back with the exact same tactics!

Initiate!

Iguodala received the ball and slid it into the bottom corner before passing it to Milicic.

Lowry has already gone from Chen Mu to the three-second zone under the basket by cover, Milicic did not hesitate to send a pass, and Lowry can attack the basket when he sees it.

Even if, as Smith expected, Ginobili in the bottom corner let Korver come to make up for it, Lowry could shoot an open three-pointer with a simple split.

That's the terrible thing about Philadelphia's lighthouse tactics: the almost limitless adjustment possibilities.

At this time, an unexpected person moved.

Tim Duncan, with a quick turn to face the basket, raised his long arm and slapped the basketball in Lowry's hand. (To be continued.) )
