"I've finished analyzing, the tactics of the rocket, it's as simple as that."

After Lowry's analysis, everyone in the locker room fell silent, and Cheeks was not in a hurry to give a conclusion, but looked at Chen Mu expectantly, as if waiting for his most proud disciple's opinion on Lowry's analysis.

"Stereotyped induction, it turns out that this is ......!"

Chen Mu did not live up to Cheeks's trust, thought about it for a while, and immediately understood the connotation of Lowry's statement, and nodded heavily: "Kyle, if that's the case, then you don't blame you for Battier's vacancy, this is a deep-rooted thing, and it can only be said that Adelman is too cunning." ”

"Good."

Cheeks let out a sigh of relief, although most of the players still haven't fully understood what Lowry meant, but as long as Lowry and Chen Mu understand, it will be easy.

Because excluding Iguodala, Lowry and Chen Mu are the two strongest defensive players in Philadelphia's current team.

And to solve the tactical puzzle of the rocket, what is needed is the defensive ability of Lowry and Chen Mu.

"Let me summarize, Lowry's statement is a bit too complicated and not graphic enough, and you can understand if I say that."

Cheeks put on the video again and said: "Maddie is on the strong side, and the cover change of Scola and Mutombo is clear to everyone, so I won't go into details." ”

"The key is what happens on the weak side at this time."

On the screen, Maddy's signature one-handed ball on the strong side of the court is watching the inside run, and on the weak side, Alston is near the top of the arc, and Battier is waiting for an opportunity outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the weak side.

Then Scola began to run, Chen Mu was involved, Maddie took advantage of the situation to go further to the bottom line, and the 76ers' defense was completely flattened on the strong side. The range of movement of the two strongest assistant defenders in the team, Iguodala and Chen Mu, was completely locked in a narrow space below 45 degrees on the strong side.

Meanwhile. On the weak side, Ars made a 45-degree run and made the first off-ball screen for Battier.

"This was the first point where Kyle's train of thought was fixed, and Battier bypassed Alston's cover and took the most traditional pitcher run without changing direction and running back. Kyle followed well, bypassing Alstom and catching up immediately. Battier and Alston switched positions and there was no space to shoot. ”

Alston's body is relatively small, even if the cover is strong, from the height of Korver, Battier's movement is clearly visible, this time there is no problem with the defense.

By this time, Scola had already finished his run and came to the outside of the three-second zone on the weak side, and Durham Porter chased after him with all his might. Maddie didn't pass the ball.

Als then ran to the inside line, and after the cover was over, he went down like a pick-and-roll in a pick-and-roll, and came to the flanks to stand near Scola.

The two stood in a diagonal line, facing Maddie's direction and making cover moves at the same time.

"Wall", appeared.

"Here, after the wall is done, Battier starts to cut inside from the outside. Run through the position between the wall and Maddie. It was their most crucial cover, with Kyle chasing after him. He couldn't get through the human wall formed by the two of them, and he could only run through the area behind him, that is, the area of the stadium that was completely empty and there was no one at the moment. ”

"It's ...... here!"

The footage is frozen by Cheeks, which shows Battier running around the human wall. When he came to Scola he stopped and turned around to make a third wall.

At this time, Korver, who had been predicting Battier's running speed, happened to come behind Scola, who was much taller than Alstom, for a moment. Basically completely obscured Battier's figure. If you put yourself in their shoes, it is completely impossible to know what is happening on the pitch from Korver's position.

The only thing he could be sure of was that Scola was standing in front of him, Battier was going around cover, and that was it.

Kyle Korver, in this moment, was completely isolated.

"See, what happened in this moment, we all saw it clearly, but from Kyle's point of view, it was an absolute blind spot." "The blind spot was so small and so short that I didn't even realize there was a moment that completely isolated Kyle, and it was my mistake," Cheeks said. ”

The footage continued to play, and something surprising happened.

Alstom, the "wall" that was originally part of the human wall, started at this moment when Korver chased after Battier under the basket, turned over and walked to the basket.

Between the wall and the basket, Damham Porter was defending, but there was no need to worry that Alston would catch the ball and go to the basket. But the tall Dalham Porter invisibly added more visibility to Korver, making him even more unable to judge Battier's movements.

Als cut inside and formed a right-angled form with Scola to make a wall of Battier, who bypassed Battier and burst out of Scola's side.

Alston had only a split second to rush out, just enough for Korver to see him. At this moment, it was impossible to judge who this player was or whether there was the ball in his hand, and Korver, who was sure that Battier would definitely bypass the cover directly according to the pitcher's running method, naturally stepped forward to defend.

And what about Battier, who made the wall?

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he ran back and ran 45 degrees to the weak side.

From a high angle, Alston pretends to be Battier and rushes out of Scola's side, Korver chases after him, Alston appears alertly, and then runs to the top of the arc.

Battier rolled over and ran past Scola on the other side of his body and headed straight for the bottom corner.

Korver caught up a few steps and realized that it was Alston who was chasing, and when he turned back, Scola had moved laterally, completely blocking the view between him and the bottom corner.

So, in Korver's eyes, Battier disappeared.

Finally, it was Maddy's pass, and after Battier received the ball, he either made an easy shot from the three-point gap, or ran to the basket again, catching the ball and throwing.

"In other words, Sean Battier, at that moment, was circling Scola's body and playing 'hide and seek' with Kyle." "It's obvious from the heights that Kyle and Battier are basically running a lap on the 180-degree diagonal of Scola's body," Cheeks said. ”

Very, very, very shrewd tactics.

Every detail was taken into account, the individual characteristics of each player of the Rockets were used, height and body width were used, Alstom's alertness was taken advantage of, Maddy's vision was taken advantage of, Scola was used to contain mid-range shots, Korver's defensive habits were used, and ......

Take advantage of everything that can be used on the pitch at this moment.

That's team tactics.

If at this time, the Rockets used offensive tactics instead of Battier, but Maddie, with Iguodala's reflexes and physical speed, this tactic would not have succeeded.

If Scola were to use this tactic, due to Chen Mu's physical talent, the Argentines would have to admit that it would be impossible to get a completely empty seat even if they didn't believe it.

It's Battier, it's Korver, it's just such a pair of physical talents, and the Rockets even have a slight advantage in the counterpoint. The Rockets took advantage of the only matchup that could make the tactics successful, and played a wonderful tactical combination. If you don't have a certain tactical foundation and don't have a lot of experience playing on the court, you may only find it strange if you just see this scene on TV:

It seems to be just a slightly more complicated run, why would Korver be deceived like a fool, as if he had lost his IQ all of a sudden, and somehow completely empty Battier, whose running route is not complicated?

After all, from a high vantage point, Battier only did three things: one was to change positions after covering the outside, but to rush to the inside to borrow two people to cover, and the third was to turn around and make a cover for Alstom, and immediately ran out.

If Battier's route is connected from a high place, it basically runs out of a triangle on the course.

It was this simple triangle that played Korver, who had an absolutely high basketball IQ, completely lost his direction and looked like a clown.

"No wonder the Rockets can win 22 in a row."

After seeing all this, Chen Mu had a little more respect for this rocket team in his heart.

Previously, on the original timeline, Chen Mu watched most of the Rocket's 22-game winning streak. But at that time, he was just an amateur, and no matter how deep his understanding of tactics was, he did not reach the world's top professional level today.

At that time, Chen Mu was looking at the excitement, but now from the perspective of the doorway, he has to sigh at the magic of Adelman.

A group of players who are absolutely not outstanding in terms of personal attack power, even if the biggest name Maddie has reached the middle and late stages of his career, and his impact has dropped significantly, but he can still play a strong winning streak under Adelman, which is inseparable from the tactical strength of the old coach.

For each player, Adelman has developed a different strategy to help them minimize their technical shortcomings, and to use ingenuity to make a difference, which is the core of Princeton's strategy.

Perhaps this content may seem a bit boring to fans who don't like to watch the doorway and don't like to watch tactics, but it is definitely the most valuable asset for true fans.

Chen Mu is not just a true fan now, and the nutrients he draws from it are naturally more abundant and sweet.

Basketball tactics can be meticulous to such an extent, every action of every player, every person's rhythm, habits, and body shape can be used in tactics.

Cheeks will not be able to reach such heights for the time being, and it is estimated that it will be difficult in the future.

But what if Carlisle ......?

"Okay, their tactical analysis is over, and the solution is very simple." Cheeks clapped his hands and said, "In the second half, the counterattack ......!" (To be continued......)

PS: This tactic is really complicated to say, and it took two chapters to explain it clearly.

If you have a heart, you can find a video, the Rockets have won 22 consecutive victories, but they have really used this tactic. At that time, after seeing the dragon bone porridge, he threw himself to the ground with the admiration of Ah Shuai, which was really amazing for his tactical arrangement ability.
