Chapter 792： It's a show, it's a heritage

Run and bomb.

Fans after 2015 may be relatively unfamiliar with this term, because at that time, this term was no longer popular in the league, but it did not mean that this style of play was extinct in the league, but at that time there was a more Obvious title: "Small Ball".

Of course, small ball and running and shooting are two different things. Small ball is a basketball concept, while running and shooting is a tactical system.

Small ball refers to avoiding the impact of height and formation on defense to the greatest extent through rapid offense and defense transitions, that is, switching from defense to offense. Due to the high mobility of players in this way of playing, the executors are mostly Small players have more flexible styles, so "small ball" has become the conventional name.

Running and shooting is just one of the small ball tactics, an offensive tactic created by D'Antoni based on the characteristics of the original Sun players. This is a series of tactical content including horn attack and quick positioning in the frontcourt.

In other words, run-and-gun is an implementation of small-ball tactics.

OKOK~ I know this is very boring. After all, it is not a coach or a player. Who would care how much difference there is between the two, so everyone can take a look at it.

You just need to know that as the inventor of the run-and-gun strategy, no one understands the run-and-gun better than D'Antoni, and no one has such a deep affection for it.

After coming to the Knicks, D'Antoni did not completely replicate the run-and-gun tactics he used in the Suns. Because the team has so many tall and powerful insiders, forcing a run-and-gun approach will only have the opposite effect, so D'Antoni had to change. his tactics.

Fortunately, after Zuo Li arrived, D'Antoni could also use Zuo Li's excellent athletic ability to formulate some run-and-gun tactics.

In fact, Zuo Li is very suitable for running and shooting. There is a paradox in the running and shooting tactic itself, that is, it requires players in the backcourt to press forward as much as possible on the defensive end, so as to advance to the frontcourt faster after the transition from offense to defense, and also requires the protection of backcourt rebounds. , in order to start the first form of the offense-defense transition.

But the two themselves constitute a contradiction. How to protect the backcourt rebounds while the backcourt players press forward, and how to defend the vast middle area?

You can see it very clearly in the Suns. In those years, the Spurs seized this point and pressed the Suns hard. If you protect the backcourt rebounds, you won't be able to run. If you don't protect them, I will give you them directly Well, you still can't run.

But Zuo Li doesn't have this problem. His ability to protect rebounds is too strong, his speed is very fast, he can dribble the ball well, he can pass the ball, and he can start a counterattack as soon as he wins the rebound. This is something most insiders do not have. ability.

It's just that because the Knicks are still in a position, it is more appropriate to switch occasionally, otherwise Randolph will be wasted.

Therefore, in the past two seasons, with the decline of the Suns, there has been a voice from the outside world, that is, the running and gun has declined, and it is about to be eliminated by the times. This season, with the Suns only winning 15 wins and 15 losses in 30 games, ranking in the West The ninth record, and the fact that everyone except Nash couldn't play the run-and-gun situation that caused the sun to slow down overall, this sound reached its peak.

Now, most people feel that even if Nash is still in the sun, because of the departure of Stoudemire and others, the era of running and shooting will come to an end.

By the way, they haven't forgotten the black wave of running and gunning, saying that this tactic is not good, the shortcomings of this tactic are too obvious, and it is too easy to target Yunyun.

Although this topic has nothing to do with the Knicks, everyone seems to have forgotten that, as the founder of the run-and-gun strategy, D'Antoni would feel like when he heard this voice.

In short... In this game against the Suns, D'Antoni made an unprecedented proposal to play a full-scale run-and-gun strategy.

The entire team did not express any objections, but agreed with the arrangement of the German coach very much.

Zuo Li even discussed the tactics with De Shuai for a long time.

In fact, in the current sun, the Knicks have too many methods. The easiest way is to press the rhythm and grind it slowly. But they did not refute and would not refute De Shuai's decision. They can understand D'Antoni's mood. A tactic is like a coach's child. You say this child is not good, and you say this child is going to die!

This can be endured! Isn't this a slap in the face!

So in the face of such a meaningful opponent as the Suns, D'Antoni finally couldn't stand it anymore!

Zuo Li, Anderson, Danny Green, Dragic and Curry, the Knicks once again replaced everyone except Zuo Li after a game.

Fans and commentators said they were used to it, while the Suns were a little more square.

The sun was also prepared for this game. In order to limit the left standing, he was on Robin Lopez and Turkoglu.

Yes, it was the former helmsman of the Magic, but now he is a homeless man in the Alliance, and his level is not as good as before. Gentry obviously hopes that Turkoglu can use the help defense to limit Zuoli's strong inside play. After all, his subordinates choose Not really much.

But unexpectedly, the main attacker tonight is indeed Zuo Li, but it is not the way they imagined.

From the opening jump ball successfully landed, he quickly killed the front court without the ball. Zuo Li even completed the dunk without the camera lens following up When the camera slammed over, it was facing the only one who had just caught up with the basket. Richardson, this old man wants to cry, but he was almost detained just now...

Richardson: Why do you think I'm running so fast!

And after scoring the goal, Zuo Li even made a gesture to Curry and Dragic in the backcourt, meaning... it could be faster!

Nash didn't know what the gesture meant, but he couldn't be indifferent to his brother being blocked.

Get the ball, put up three fingers, it's a sign that the Suns are playing fast this season. Nash, the former "Son of the Wind", only took 5 seconds to kill the half court. After shaking his shoulders and making Curry lose his position, Nash looked back...

Come on, Lopez hasn't crossed halftime yet...

So it is said that Stoudemire and Nash have achieved each other. Without Nash playing the ball, Stoudemire would not have been able to kill the Quartet in the playoffs with such a rare scoring method. Without Stoudemire, an insider who can keep up with his rhythm, Nash's threat is also greatly reduced.

This kind of breakthrough to this position, either do it by yourself, or spread it quickly, you must not wait, it will be bad if you wait.

Nash was blocked inside, Dragic completed the steal, and the Knicks counterattacked again!

6 seconds!

This is the time it takes for Zuo Li to finish scoring.

"Today the Knicks played more than the sun, too fast!" Smith said.

"What are you talking about?! D'Antoni is the coach of the Knicks. It's normal for him to play run-and-gun." Barkley said.

Running and shooting is orthodox in New York. For the Knicks tonight, running and shooting is not only a show, showing the Knicks' running and shooting strength, but also a kind of inheritance. They want to prove that running and shooting has not disappeared in the league!
