It's not that Iverson's technology doesn't support the Princeton system. After all, the requirements of this tactical system for players are quite low
What really constrains Iverson is his character!
It can be said that to integrate Iverson into Princeton system, the first thing to do is to change Iverson's character!
Is that possible? Iverson is not the kind of three-year-old whose personality has not been finalized. Now he is an 18-year-old adult. Richard has no confidence that can affect the rebellious little man.
Besides Iverson's incompatibility with Princeton system, Big Ben is also not suitable for Princeton system, mainly because he has no basket
So, the Princeton system is definitely not suitable for the current lineup, unless Richard lost his mind and was willing to bury Iverson and Big Ben completely, not to give them any tactical position
In fact, Richard's idea now is to make Iverson the starting point of the team's attack.
“Ai-cut?! No...... " Richard thought
This tactic named after Iverson, translated into Chinese, is called Iverson's empty cut tactic. The origin of this tactic is sure that the fans all know that it is Iverson's exclusive tactic when he is in the 76ers.
"Double horns? No way. The team doesn't have a player like Anthony with Iverson... " Richard soon rejected another idea.
The two bullhorns are Iverson's tactics when nuggets and Anthony partner, but because there is no such attack kaleidoscope as Anthony in the team, this tactic is not very suitable.
If these two tactics are used, they can also be used together, but if we really want to play like this, then the final result may be that Iverson took off by himself, and then Big Ben and Miller still can't escape the fate of the draft
And Richard doesn't think these two tactics will definitely help them win the championship in the future.
"Come on, let's wait for October to see the situation. I can't think of a good way now..." For the tactical insomnia of nearly a week, Richard finally decided to put it down for a while and wait for the training in October.
……
In the blink of an eye, the October expected in Richard's heart arrived!
The contents of the training are almost the same. Richard has several years of teaching assistant experience, so he is very handy and has no trouble.
What really bothers him is tactical!
In September, after all the tactics he envisioned had been put into practice, Richard found that the effect was quite unsatisfactory.
For a while, Richard was also a little flustered. He suddenly found that it seemed that the coach's work was not as simple as he thought!
Once upon a time, Richard thought that he had mastered so many tactical systems and could definitely build an invincible division. Now it seems that his idea is too naive.
It's true that, even if they don't use any tactics and rely on Iverson's single work, Richard feels that their performance this season will not be very poor, and they can almost maintain the level of the last season's top eight
But if he can't win the championship, Richard will not be satisfied even if he is in the top four.
……
"Lee, do you really want to play a warm-up match with that VIRGINIA United University?" Old Philip asked Richard with a bitter face.
Richard nodded. It's already settled. He traded a warm-up match for a big one. It's not a loss in any way
"OK, but we won't lose..."
"If we lose, it's a shame in our team's history. We've never lost to a second tier team..."
"Well, we haven't played with a league level team at all..."
Old Philip was garrulous and talkative, but he was out of kindness.
"Philip, don't worry. Don't underestimate our players. They will give you a surprise!"
……
McGee center, the stadium of Purdue University.
The first game of the new season, although it's just a warm-up match, and the opponent is VIRGINIA United University, which no one has heard of at all, but relying on the golden signboard of boiler workers, the scene is still crowded, with more than 14000 seats almost full.
Several new players are playing for the first time on this occasion. It is inevitable that they are nervous
"Guys, take it easy. The opponent is just a second tier league team. This is the best warm-up target I can find for you!"
"I don't think you'll make me lose face, will you?" Said Richard with a smile.
"Absolutely not, such a junk school team, I can blow them up by myself!" "Big Ben is in high spirits," he said.
Richard was shocked. If not for Richard's appearance, it would be his alma mater
"Brad, Ben, Brent, Allen, Jerome, you five are starting!"The game is about to start, Richard began to arrange the starting lineup.
"Regional joint defense, remember, regional joint defense! This is the most basic defensive tactics. If it doesn't work well, I will keep you on the bench forever! "
"No matter what kind of attack system the other side has, give me a deadly regional joint defense!"
The gentle young man with yellow skin, who is now incarnating the evil tiger, is extremely stern!
The match will start soon. Richard is in a rush for no reason
"Doodle doodle!" The referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the match, the starters of both sides began to play, Richard sat back on the bench.
The first few attack and defense rounds of the game, the strength gap between the two sides reflected incisively and vividly!
One is the top first-class league team and the other is the unknown second-class league team. It's no exaggeration to say that even Jerome green is the absolute first-class person in the other team, and may even impact the history records of various teams!
In this case, the boiler team firmly occupied a huge advantage at the beginning.
In particular, Iverson's performance on the offensive side is quite outstanding. The breakthrough on the field is like a ghost, which makes the opponent unable to defend!
Richard looked at the game off the court and nodded his head with satisfaction. What's more, now Iverson's offensive strength is absolutely crushing the existence of NCAA. It's not unexpected to hang a second level league team!
Seeing the situation on the field, old Philippe was finally relieved.
After 20 minutes in the first half, the boiler man won 23 points by 47:24!
Iverson scored 19 points in the first half alone, which was quite brilliant, and directly let tens of thousands of local fans remember the name of the little player.
The game went well and Richard was quite satisfied with the situation.
However, in the second half of the match, Richard was directly watered with cold water, which made him realize that the situation might not be as easy as he thought.
In the second half of the boiler team's competition, there is one word to describe it, that is chaos
In the first half, they were 23 points ahead. By the end of the game, they had only increased the difference to 25 points!
That is to say, the boiler workers won only two points in half against the garbage team like VIRGINIA United University!
It's a shame, no doubt!
