With old K's prudence, he will inevitably study the team's opponents in the next round. Colorado State University's characteristic of playing small ball tactics is naturally in his eyes.In fact, it's not that they don't want to use other tactical systems, but the height of the players is there. Apart from playing small balls that rely on speed, what other methods do you have?
As a head coach who has been in the NCAA for decades and has eaten more salt than many people have eaten rice, old K only needs to watch the video of Colorado State University to know what style his opponent is.And he quickly thought of a countermeasure, don't you like to play fast?I just want to suppress the speed and slowly grind the ground with you to attack. As long as you defend well, you can basically be invincible. No matter what small or big ball you have, you have to kneel and sing to conquer.
McKay is still in the dark here, and he is full of confidence in the next game after seeing Duke's regular starting lineup.In his eyes, Duke's starting lineup is relatively bulky, and there are no other advantages other than good frame protection. Maybe their tactical execution is good, but so what?Your own team can wear them down with speed.
And the opponent's main scoring points are also distributed on the outside. McKay is full of confidence in the team's outside defense. He firmly believes that the team can limit Duke's outside offense.As for Duke's inside line, there is no need to worry about it. Pulzbila and Caravel's independent offensive ability is not strong. If they block the outside line, they will not be able to make any waves inside.
But McKay forgot one thing, that is old K's attainments in tactics.Although the small ball tactic was only occasionally used by a few teams as a regular tactic before this, it does not mean that Old K is helpless about it. He is best at watching dishes, and he is naturally ready for Colorado State University. All packages for offense and defense.
Chang Wei naturally knew that Old K and his Duke were not easy to mess with, but he didn't expect that they could really let go of the airs of a strong team and insisted on turning themselves from the sharpest spear into the strongest shield.That's right, as the top offensive team in the NCAA this season, Duke did not attack across the board at the beginning of the game, but instead focused most of its energy on the defensive end.
In front of the Colorado State University is a 2-3 zone defense. Pulzbila, Caravel and Maggette lined up near the baseline, and Langton and Avery stood near the free throw line. , ready to grab at any time.It is reasonable to use zone defense against a team with strong firepower outside the three-point line like Colorado State University, but Old K did it. Except for himself and Duke players, no one knows what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd. .
Facing a 2-3 zone defense, the three-pointer is naturally the main offensive method, but before Palesio received the pass from McCances, Avery suddenly jumped outside the three-point line and directly hit McCans. Kans's pass was intercepted halfway.Although McCance has made such mistakes before, it is undoubtedly embarrassing to make a mistake at the beginning of the game. He chased after him with a low growl. Unfortunately, Duke had three players participating in the fast break. It is very simple to score a goal in one situation.
McCann, who was sitting on the sidelines, also frowned, but he didn't say anything. McCann's overall strength was not bad, but he made a lot of mistakes. The embarrassing incident of the opponent stealing, this time it is just a repeat of the same mistakes.But McKay forgot one thing. Those teams hadn't adopted zone defense before.
In fact, the zone defense is mainly used to limit breakthroughs. Whether you break through the center, 45-degree flanks or even the bottom line, the zone defense lineup can let you in first and then close the door to beat the dog. The team can also use zone defense to limit. The 2-3 zone defense has almost no disadvantages for the inside offense, but there is no way for players who can shoot three-pointers.In addition, the mid-range shot from the bottom line and the mid-range shot from the horn position are also areas that the 2-3 zone defense cannot take care of, especially for players who are quite good at emergency stop jumpers, the jump shots in these two positions are basically equal to open positions.
If you want to break the 2-3 zone defense, the three-pointer is the simplest and most effective way, and passing the ball back and forth quickly can also make the defensive side complain.Of course, the so-called 3-1-1 positioning can also break the 2-3 zone defense. The main thing is to let the point guard control the ball at the top of the arc. The power forward repeatedly slid the bottom line to attract the defense and create opportunities for teammates to break through, but obviously this requires a long time of practice and has nothing to do with Colorado State University.
How could the wily old K not know the shortcomings of the 2-3 zone defense?But he resolutely sacrificed this defensive system, obviously trying to make a wave of trouble.The sudden interception of McCance's pass just now is a reflection of his fine adjustments before the game.One glance at his playboard reveals another phrase he associates with the 2-3 zone: man-to-man.
With the tactical execution ability of the Duke players, it is a piece of cake to transform from a 2-3 zone defense to a man-to-man in an instant, and in the process of changing formation, they have a high chance of cutting off the opponent's pass, and then it is easy fast break points.This is the big meal that old K prepared for Colorado State University. He knows that this team likes to share the ball very much. This is their advantage, but sometimes the advantage is not that it cannot be turned into a disadvantage. Duke can take advantage of this opportunity.
After being intercepted for several rounds in a row, McKay finally discovered the opponent's routine, and the numbers on the scoreboard seemed to mock his hindsight. 11 to 0, this is Colorado State University's worst start to a single game this season, none of them, they have encountered other top teams before, but it is hard to imagine falling behind by double digits at the beginning.
The most important thing is that most of the three-point shooters in the Colorado State team rely on the assists of their teammates. In more detail, their offensive methods are running, catching, and shooting. Playing singles with the ball outside the line, shaking the defender and hitting a long shot, even the captain Palesio can't do it.
This also means that they have to pass the ball continuously to create opportunities for their teammates, and naturally they were hit by the old K's defensive tactics.If you don’t pass the ball, there will be no open space. If there is no open space, it will be difficult to shoot. If you make a forced shot, you can’t guarantee the hit rate. Then look at the big men inside Duke, especially the 2-meter Przybilla. Increase offensive possessions by grabbing more offensive rebounds?
Sao Nian, you are really living in a dream!
