NBA: Starting CBA system

Lao Hu also used this in his previous life, attacking the inside line.

The defense changed from 3-2 to 2-3, the iron bucket formation changed to man-to-man, and so on. Many of these tactics are used against the big foreign players in the CBA.

When the big foreign players come, they will set up a iron bucket formation in front of them. When the big foreign players' playing time is over, they will instantly switch to man-to-man when they are all local players. Every team in the CBA is very good at this. Compared with these, he wants to practice the running formation that the main players are practicing now.

Of course, the NBA must be different, and the tactical details and gestures are also different.

But Jiang Hao's understanding of basketball is still very strong. He memorized all the common tactics of NBA teams in a few days.

And he also got along well with the young assistant coach who accompanied them in tactical training, and successfully got the Heat's tactical manual, which is also the tactics that the Heat players will practice in the next season.

Because later Jiang Hao also helped to call for movement and replaced the point guard to make tactical gestures at the front, which saved the assistant coach a lot of effort.

Jiang Hao would read the manual whenever he had time in the training hall, trying to memorize all the content to be practiced in a season within a few days.

This also allowed him to get in touch with the "real stuff" of the Heat: the back was actually full of tactical dry goods handwritten and copied by Riley and Spoelstra.

These were top tactics set for the main players in recent years, and the Heat coaching staff obviously didn't think that rookies would study them.

"Positionless basketball, so advanced!"

After seeing the name, Jiang Hao knew the value of this tactical manual, because this was the tactical system that the Heat had been advocating for more than a decade, and it was also the trend of modern basketball. It was really Spoelstra's specialty!

With LeBron James' The Decision last year, the "basketball fire" of this eastern coastal city was rekindled, and the "positionless" basketball advocated by Riley and Spoelstra was also implemented.

"Positionless Basketball" (I): 195-205 forward swingman + inside is the key

The joining of LeBron James has greatly lowered the threshold of the concept of positionless basketball.

In his first year in Miami, James averaged 26.7 points, 7.5 rebounds and 7 assists per game, with an assist rate of 34.9%.

The offensive threat provided by James and the smart passing choices have given Miami the capital to play more complex tactics.

Since both Wade and Bosh have the ability to play one-on-one, James' passes may not necessarily be directly converted into assists.

But James's tactic of breaking through with the ball, attracting the defense, and then passing it to Wade, and Wade's tactic of dislocation and single-handedly challenging the defender, is the Heat's "trump card skill" on the court.

However, because the current strong teams have a good set of inside configurations, Spoelstra's "positionless basketball" cannot completely abandon the inside.

After the entire league had no meat shield inside, the Heat used the small mobile center Reba to use this theory to the extreme. The civilian lineup relied on this tactical system to make it to the finals, and then met the Nuggets, a team with top inside configurations, and they were directly forced to stop.

Jiang Hao recorded it in a small notebook. This tactic is afraid of the big core inside.

"Positionless Basketball" Concept (II): Defensive counterattack + transition offense is the core

On the offensive end, the Heat are strong enough but not perfect.

Due to the overall lack of strength in the interior, Bosh has developed towards a space-type interior.

They lack the ability to dig hard in the low post and eat opponents through strong singles.

If they can't get rebounds, they have to rely on the high success rate of James and Wade.

The Heat's power on the offensive end is based on the super strong personal offensive threats of James and Wade.

Under the situation that the interior cannot establish a solid defensive barrier, the Heat focuses on the layout of the outside line: using partial double-teaming to create pressure and force the ball holder to make mistakes.

By double-teaming, the opponent is forced to transfer the ball in a large area, and James or Wade will launch a fast break after completing the steal.

"Isn't this a guillotine?"

This move was later called "guillotine" by fans. Why later? Because the Big Three are now working together. There was not much chemical reaction last season. It seems to be in 2013. The Heat's defense was so strong that they often "guillotined" their opponents and then connected with James and Wade.

"No wonder it was not used much last season. It was too tiring for James and Wade to attack and defend."

Jiang Hao, who watched a lot of finals videos, nodded.

The Big Three probably still had a stern attitude last season. After the loss, they lowered their posture and carried forward such an integrated offense and defense tactical system.

If only outside stars like James and Wade were used to build a system close to "positionless basketball", then Spoelstra's coaching ability would be questioned by the Big Three team.

After all, this kind of outside combination is rare, and it can be put to good use in the hands of most coaches.

The Big Three probably thought so last season. We are superstars. What kind of players on the opposite side need us to double-team and steal? ? These things are left to the blue-collar workers, and we should focus on offense.

The result is that the blue-collar workers don't have that ability, and they can only do as much as they can with the money they have. The Big Three almost occupy all the team's salary space, and defense can only rely on the Big Three.

Therefore, the Miami Heat in this second season of the Big Three era will be the first bold attempt of "positionless basketball" led by Spoelstra.

The lineup has strong hard power, with James and Wade attacking the inside, and the outside shooters ready to receive the ball.

On defense, Spoelstra allowed the Big Three to also adopt the strategy of "partial attack, making mistakes and counterattacks", which instantly achieved miraculous results in the game.

Jiang Hao knew that this move was successful, and history proved that he could do it without relying on the Big Three. Butler + Reba + Lowry could do it.

So regardless of whether he can grow up to stand at the core of this positionless basketball, Jiang Hao is eager to memorize various tactical movement charts first! ! !

He even had the consciousness to teach Bo Yang a skill, just in case he had the chance to stand in the pitcher's position.

Bo Yang recently gave Jiang Hao a bicycle as a gift before the preseason. Jiang Hao is secretly trying his best to help him, hoping that he will not follow the same path of wandering in his previous life.

Chapter 46: Preseason begins, unknown players from the Development League

Chapter 46 46: The preseason begins, and the rewards brought by unknown players in the Development League

Early October.

NBA preseason begins.

Due to well-known reasons, the Heat did not take any overseas preseason games this year to prepare for the start.

Otherwise, according to the nature of the NBA, it will definitely arrange for a traffic team like the Heat to come to the Tianchao Game or the London Game or something.

Star meeting, new season media day, fan appreciation day, giving back to the community day

These arrangements have nothing to do with Jiang Hao. He and Bo Yang were transferred to the Development League while preparing for Development League games. They rode bicycles to and from the Development League team and the home team's training hall every day.

The night before the preseason starts.

Heat conference room.

All members of the uniform team also reported and summarized the training camp results of the 15 players.

When JIANG's name was finally mentioned, only two staff members reported.

Scout Jaylen Williams reports to Pat Riley:

"This JIANG has been transforming, his training is among the best, and his physical condition is much stronger than when he came here."

"Okay, it's a hot guy." Riley nodded.

Then the young assistant coach who was responsible for the tactical positioning of the newcomers last week also gave a brief report:

"He has a high golf IQ and a good understanding of tactics. He should be able to become a plug-and-play player tactically. He is likely to be the X factor of our team."

Spoelstra, who has been busy training the main players, raised his head. Did he understand the tactics well? ?

This is considered a very high-level word of evaluation in a reporting meeting. Generally, such positive words are not used, otherwise Riley will curse when the player's performance is slapped in the face.

Si Bo, who had a high regard for tactics, became energetic towards Jiang Hao because of these words.

So he rubbed the dark circles under his eyes and said:

"Well, he will be a good reserve. I will personally see his training results when I have time."

Jaylen Williams breathed a sigh of relief next to him. In fact, he still had a lot to say, such as Jiang Hao's attitude on the team, overtime hours, dietary rules, personal life and health, etc. But this is not suitable to talk about at the conference.

It is suitable for big guys like Sibo and others to "turn a deaf ear" when they pay attention to Jiang Hao alone, and they may give Jiang Hao some opportunities.

Although Jiang Hao is the youngest in the team, for some reason, Jaylen Williams always feels that this young man who always looks calm will be very effective when he comes on the court.

Jiang Hao didn't know what the uniform team said in the report meeting, and he didn't bother to ask whether there was any given playing time like other players.

Anyway, he was completely busy during the preseason window after the conference.

Because he is a two-way contract player, he has to go when the Development League wants someone, and he has to sit on the sidelines in the preseason, oh no, watching the game.

So I often go to Sky Force (Heat Development League team) to play games during the day, and go to preseason games with the team at night to sit on the sidelines shaking towels and handing out water.

The Development League games were different from any games Jiang Hao had played before and after. It was a completely eye-opening experience for Jiang Hao.

The intensity is not high, but there are many fouls and no calls, and the game is fast and chaotic.

The most important thing is: it’s so unique!

From position 1 to position 5, the ball is all played in singles, no pick-and-roll required!

There is really no one who takes the initiative to pass the open ball, they are all here to brush up the data.

Moreover, even the coaching staff of the Development League is here to help the players brush up their statistics. There are no tactics at all. Every time they pause, they say: Who should I give the ball to now! Let him play the key ball!

Jiang Hao and Bo Yang came to the conclusion: the Development League is for the home team to complete tasks.

Just like the few games they played, they directly stated the requirements before the game: pass the ball to Eddy Curry and let him play in isolation.

Eddy Curry was forced to average 20+10 per game in the Development League.

Although he is a talented player in the NBA, playing in the G-League at this level is just a chore. In one game, he got 40+13+4 blocks and was featured in the NBA and Knicks news.

It’s self-evident why.

I just want to increase his transaction value. To put it bluntly, I want to sell him at a good price. Otherwise, a veteran like Eddy Curry who the Heat can't use at all will be rotten in his hands. Wouldn't it be nice to tempt the Knicks to trade for a second-round pick?

Therefore, Jiang Hao and Boyang "helped" complete the tasks assigned by the home team.

After all, in everyone's eyes, they are trained by the home team, and the Development League is just for the home team to let them find a feel for the game. Compared with other Development League players who do not have contracts in the NBA, their data is not important.
