Super Role Player

On the second day of the pre-season training camp, the Spurs in the morning were still practicing their physical fitness.

In the afternoon, after eating a nutritious meal, Popovich called all the players and prepared to start tactical training.

After winning the championship in 2007, the Spurs have played soy sauce in the playoffs for four consecutive seasons. They were either easily eliminated by the Lakers or blocked by their rivals in the same state. Last season, they were even defeated by the Grizzlies. Consecutive playoff losses gave Popovich the idea of ​​transforming the team, so since last season, the Spurs have consciously transformed into an always-offensive team.

Being hacked last season was actually a necessary pain in the transformation, but the first record in the regular season still made Popovich decide to continue to promote the transformation of the team.

In the locker room, Popovich took a large tactical board and began to explain the team's offensive tactics.

"The first set of offensive tactics, the point guard moves to one side with the ball..." Popovich wrote and drew on the tactical board, looking up from time to time to see the reactions of all the players, Anxi felt as if he had returned to the student again era.

"The big man in the paint takes the pass from the point guard and passes it directly to the guard on the other side of the line and starts the offense..."

"The second set of offensive tactics, the point guard runs to one of the two wing players with the ball, and then the wing player arcs out to the penalty area and circles out to the top of the arc to launch the remaining offensive tactics; the third set of offensive tactics, Pick-and-roll attack on the weak side, the ball handler passes the ball to a wing player in front, then arcs out to the other side, the wing player passes the ball to the big player near the top of the arc, and then the big man The player passes the ball to the point guard to reorganize the offense or make a shot..."

Three sets of offensive tactics can generate countless offensive routines, which can be regarded as Popovich's hard work in the past two years.

This tactic is called "Motion-offense" in English, and it is generally translated as pick-and-cut offense in Chinese.

However, when Anxi saw this series of tactics, he was a little confused. The wing players cut in and out with the ball? Wocao, how can I have the ability to hold the ball?

Before Anxi could come up with a solution, Popovich announced the start of tactical training.

Anxi was assigned to the bench group, with Gary Neal, Corey Joseph, Kawhi Leonard and Thiago Splitter, and his opponents were Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Richard A group of Jefferson, Danny Green and Tim Duncan.

Tactical training begins, the main team first attacks, and the substitute team defends.

Anxi faced Danny Green, because of the presence of Tim Duncan, the first goal, the main team used the third offensive routine.

After Tony Parker advanced upfield, he passed the ball to Manu Ginobili, then arced past a Richard Jefferson screen to the other side.

This is the first step. At this time, it has nothing to do with Anxi on the defensive end.

Then, Danny Green suddenly raised and made a cross-screen cooperation with Tim Duncan. In this way, Anxi suddenly became Tim Duncan's defender.

This is not over yet. Tim Duncan continued to move up after the cross screen. He made another cross screen with Tony Parker. At the same time, through this screen, he also attracted Kawhi Leonard's defense. It was almost an instant. The interior of the bench is packed.

The previous cross-screening of Danny Green and Tim Duncan made the substitute center Tiago Splitter leave the penalty area, so that the center of the penalty area was wide open.

Manu Ginobili passed the ball to Tony Parker, and Gary Neal, who was originally defending Manu Ginobili, had to choose to go up. In this way, the defense of the substitute team was torn apart.

Several members of the main team are veteran players of the Spurs, and they are also very proficient in the use of this tactic.

Tony Parker's cut left Manu Ginobili empty on the outside and packed inside, and the next offensive option was very simple.

Tony Parker's return pass gave Manu Ginobili a chance to open the outside line. Naturally, Manu would not waste the opportunity. He made a long-distance two-pointer and made a successful hit!

"Stop!" Popovich called to stop. Popovich was quite satisfied with the offensive drill in this round. He focused on praising Tim Duncan and Danny Green's running positions in this round, and then Just let the players on the field switch between offense and defense, the substitute team switches to offense, and the main team switches to defense.

Corey Joseph dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and a little at a loss, he made a two gesture, which meant that he was going to play the second tactic.

Anxi's team was suffering immediately. Tactic No. 2 is the tactic that most needs wing players to hold the ball. Generally speaking, of the three tactics, Tactic No. 2 is indeed the simplest and has the fewest routines. It is a test for Anxi to use the defender's uninterrupted cut-in with the ball, and then the remaining players continue to cut out in an arc.

As soon as Corey Joseph came up, he ran towards Anxi with the ball, and Anxi was even more troubled. This meant that he wanted to make a second cut!

Sure enough, Corey Joseph was about to run to Anxi's side!

At this moment, there was a sudden roar from the sidelines: "Ann! What are you doing! You should have cut an arc at this time!"

Only then did Anxi realize that at this time, he should cut out in an arc, and take away the inside defense as much as possible by the way.

But here comes the problem. Popovich yelled at Anxi when he cut out. The main team already knew Anxi's movements, so how could Anxi be taken away to defend?

So the sad-faced Anxi quickly received a pass from Corey Joseph at the top of the arc, and he needed to cut in.

Poorly holding the ball, Anxi had to bite the bullet and rush into the inside line, facing Danny Green's defense, and dropped the ball after a few dribbles, so there was another roar from the sidelines: "Ann! What's the matter with you, the ball is gone. Is your luck bad? If your luck is not good, why don’t you go slower?”

Go slower? Only then did Anxi realize that this tactic doesn't care about speed, as long as the players can cut in.

So, Anxi, who had come back again, cut in with the ball again. This time his speed slowed down, but what he didn't expect was that several old fritters from the main team exchanged glances with each other, and then when Anxi slowly broke into the penalty area, , All of a sudden formed a siege on Anxi! Then, in the encirclement, the ball in Anxi's hand accidentally dropped...it should be said to drop again...

"Ann! Your speed is too slow! I let you slow down, not so slow!"

Anxi was very helpless, and Popovich was also very angry, but there was no way, Anxi's dribbling was indeed lame, but even if it was lame, he had to practice.

So next, the substitute team kept practicing three sets of offensive routines, and Anxi was yelled at by Popovich again and again. Anxi spent the whole afternoon in torment.
