Chapter 929: The Art of Rotation
"In the Finals battle of Tianwang Mountain, the Los Angeles Lakers gave a rather interesting rotation strategy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½foβ
Within the Philadelphia 76ers team, they reflected on the loss of the battle of Tianwang Mountain and looked for their shortcomings. Public opinion from the outside world also praised the rotation strategy given by the Lakers in Tianwang Mountain.
"As we all know, when it comes to personnel rotation, the average team will have several strategies. The most conventional strategy is to rotate 7 players, 8 players rotate, and 10 people rotate. β
Major TV stations also conducted special programs to study and discuss the rotation strategy given by the Lakers.
"The seven-man rotation is represented by a lot of coaches who lean towards the old school. Jerry Sloan, for example, likes the rotation of about 7 people. The seven-man rotation here is not just about having only seven players on the pitch from start to finish. Rather, most of the game was occupied by the best seven players of the team. A small part of the time, the physical strength can't keep up, so I will consider other role players. β
Former NBA coach Jeff Van Gundy is naturally the most appropriate to explain this kind of problem.
"As for the eight-man rotation, I myself am one of the biggest fans of this rotation routine, Yao and Tracy should still have an impression."
Speaking of his "great achievements", Van Gundy was still a little embarrassed, and sneered: "At that time, the most common rotation combination I used was to play three players on the bench in addition to the traditional five-position five-man group in the starting line. A two-way guard who can play in the first and second positions, a swingman in the second and third positions, and a frontcourt player who can play in the fourth and fifth positions, or simply a number five position. β
"Like Deacon Bay."
The moderator added.
"That's right, although the seven-man rotation can basically guarantee that the players on the field are all players with starting or quasi-starting strength, which can allow the team to basically maintain a considerable degree of competitiveness within 48 minutes. But the disadvantage is that it will be difficult for the players' physical fitness to be guaranteed. β
Van Gundy nodded: "Even Larry Brown, when he was coaching the Pistons, and D'Antoni when he was coaching the Suns, would even use a more exaggerated six-man rotation for a period of time. It's basically about having 6 starters, and they can hold up the whole game. β
"The eight-man rotation that I admire, while not allowing the team to maintain a starting level of 48 minutes, does allow the players to maximize their playing time. Personally, I believe that this multi-rotation strategy is the future as the average strength of NBA role players continues to rise. β
"That's a good point!"
After the battle of Tianwang Mountain, Carlisle was ignited by Chen Mu's words, and said that he would never let the players participate in the tactical arrangement again. As a result, Chen Mu, who originally liked to mix in the tactical arrangement, had nothing to do after the training, his body was tired, but his brain was very active.
"Well, I also think Van Gundy is right, the future is likely to be a world of more than 8 people in rotation."
Iguodala agreed.
"Not necessarily, once the cardinal also advocated multiple rotations, so didn't the grizzly bear still play five up and five down for a while? In the end, it didn't form a real trend, and it was overshadowed by the superstars of the super team. β
Iverson doesn't particularly agree.
"I think Boss Aaron is right."
"It's still what the boss said."
"The two don't contradict each other, right......?"
Not only Chen Mu, Iguodala, and Iverson, but all the players in Philadelphia watched the tactical analysis of the TV station in the preparation room.
The manager is not there, but the players take the initiative to conduct tactical analysis?
This is rare.
Philadelphia generals, what's going on......?
"We have to have a general idea of our own, right? Otherwise, if Coach Carlisle doesn't find the best plan, when we have to make suggestions, everyone doesn't agree on their own ideas, and they still mess around. β
Iguodala was a little helpless, everyone's ideas were very different, and there were those who supported either option.
The key is to have an idea.
An idea of how to deal with what kind of fantastic rotation in Los Angeles.
"Actually, Brother Yao sent me a text message, he had an idea, he really wanted to solve this situation, and that method was very effective."
Chen Mu spoke, and everyone stopped arguing.
"What's the solution??"
Iguodala asked.
"Follow their rotation."
Chen Mu's answer was concise and to the point, but after hearing it, everyone's eyes lit up, and they each frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
"We all know that when it comes to the playoffs, especially on a stage like the Finals, the playing time of superstars is bound to increase. This means that the playing time of other players has shrunk, so there is no need to keep the previous rotation. β
On the TV, Van Gundy was still doing his analysis.
"Especially with a large rotation of more than nine players, the regular season is to preserve the fitness of the supergiants, while allowing players with less playing time to practice and stay in shape. When it comes to the playoff finals, unless it's an injury, it's generally a rotation of up to 9 players. β
"And in yesterday's game, the rotation given by the Los Angeles Lakers was a big surprise."
When the technical statistics table came out after the game, not to mention the outside media and fans, even the Philadelphia players themselves were shocked.
Lakers...... Did all the players in the 12-man roster play......?
A 12-man rotation super strategy, Phil Jackson, who is always criticized for being a super-giant coach who "relies too much on superstars" in terms of on-the-spot command and detailed tactical arrangement, gave an answer that shocked the entire world basketball community.
"From supergiant Kobe Bryant to Adam Morrison at the very end of the bench, all the players on the Lakers' 12-man roster have played, and everyone has played more than five minutes."
When he said this, Van Gundy himself shook his head with a smile of disbelief: "The result of this rotation is that the Lakers' on-court lineup ratio will show completely different chemistry and tactical play basically every three minutes." The total number of possibilities for the lineup to be produced is already astronomical on the basketball court. β
"The most terrifying thing is that all these lineup rotations have worked very well, and they also basically restrained the Philadelphia lineup at that time."
As he spoke, Van Gundy raised his head and said, "In other words, the Lakers have practiced all the possibilities of cooperation." Philadelphia's rotation rhythm was once again mastered by Van Gundy. β
12 people rotate, if it is five up and five down, and then two people come on the court for a while at a certain time, in fact, it is not unusual.
But a rotation like Phil Jackson's, where substitutions are made all the time, is really rare.
Almost every dead ball, every timeout, every intermission, Phil Jackson was making a substitution. The idea that "too much rotation will shred the team's offensive and defensive continuity", which is regarded as the truth by many coaches, was broken by Phil Jackson overnight.
Who said that this coach who is good at attacking hearts does not have real kung fu on the court?
Fans who are familiar with basketball tactics will probably understand how terrifying it is to be able to do this.
The Philadelphia 76ers are already quite bullish, and when the opponent constantly changes their offensive and defensive methods, and their own side needs to adapt repeatedly, they can still basically bite the score, and finally only lose by 6 points.
But if you lose, you lose, if you lose 10,000 points, if you lose 10,000 points, if you lose a point, you will lose, there is no essential difference.
Phil Jackson's ultra-meticulous rotation strategy seems to be making tactical adjustments, but in fact, it is still aimed at attacking the heart.
Do you think that in addition to being inferior to me in terms of strategy, you already have the ability to be on an equal footing with me in terms of tactical arrangement?
Rick Carlisle, you're so naΓ―ve.
The Zen master is sending such a message.
"Rotate ...... at their pace"
After Chen Mu said Yao Ming's suggestion, the players fell into deep thought.
"They got the hang of our rotation, and that's why they came up with this way of rotating with all sorts of ratios that looked like random combinations. We don't know the rhythm of their rotation, how do we follow it? β
Lori asked, a little puzzled.
"I think what Brother Yao meant, it shouldn't mean that it really has to be corresponded one by one, and every rotation like a master's move is 'on top'."
Chen Mu shook his head and said, "Brother Yao should have said, let's use the same 'rhythm' to rotate." That is to say, if they change people, we will also change people, and we can talk about whether they can match it. β
"The solution is yes, but you didn't hear it just now, the Lakers have carefully practiced various proportions, and we don't. Just a pat on the head decides, and the actual effect may not work. β
Korver had some doubts.
ββ¦β¦ So what if we're just putting on a show? β
Iverson spoke suddenly, his eyes wide.
"What do you mean...... We didn't really know who would have the effect of combining with whom, but we pretended to know very well, and we went up with a bunker on our face and followed their rotation. Whoever goes up and who fights, fights well and watches the sky? β
Curry's summary, everyone was stunned when they heard it, and then suddenly felt ......
This seems to be a good idea!
"Just do two things well!"
Chen Mu even seriously came up with an operation plan.
"Number one, at any time of the game, you have to make sure that one of the two people, me and Aaron, is there."
"Infinite Core Continuity, yes, yes."
Iguodala nodded.
"Second, generally speaking, don't care about the position, just play in the way of who is in good shape and play less when in bad form, the fifth position is ready to play the fourth position, and the third position may be sent to play the first position. If you still stick to the position, there is no way to go down. β
"So there's a chance that there will be four defenders or something?"
Iverson asked with interest.
"It's not like we haven't done it before!"
Chen Mu responded with a smile: "Anyway, it's just taking advantage of the chaos, everyone is disrupting the war, we are here, but there are a bunch of masters of the chaos war, ......!" (To be continued.) )
