The past and present of the Three-corner offense

For Springman, the biggest difference between the old Winter and Phil Jackson is that the former "walked" out of the NCAA.

Old Old Winter was under 30 when he started coaching in the NCAA in 1952. He was the youngest NCAA coach at the time.

After nearly 20 years of coaching in college, he entered the NBA to start his coaching career and became Phil Jackson's assistant coach in 1985, starting the great era of triangle offense in the NBA.

Now, the 84-year-old Winter is no longer an assistant coach for Phil Jackson, but a team consultant for the Lakers.

There are two reasons why Springman chose the old winter.

One is that the aged Winter is a native of Texas, and he will naturally have an extra interest in the Texas team.

Which means that their opponent in the next game will be Kansas State University.

Although Kansas State University is not as famous as the University of Kansas, it is more famous than the University of Texas.

The ancestors said they had a Hall of Fame player, Mickey Richmond.

Domestic fans should not be too familiar with him.

This is a star who is contemporary with Jordan. A brief list of his achievements

member of the 1996 Dream Team, member of the 2002 Lakers championship team, career point average of 21

Compared with the previous "Batman," Tony Barty of Texas Tech, this is a very dazzling existence.

But even for a legendary player of this level, the influence of Kansas State is still not comparable to that of the old Winter.

Old Winter started in 1954 and left the NCAA in 1969. He coached at Kansas State for 15 years.

He has led the team to eight NCAA Elite Eight appearances and two Final Four appearances in the last 15 years, and he has been named NCAA Coach of the Year twice.

It can be said that Kansas State was the absolute tycoon of the NCAA during that period, and it was always at the top of the power list.

So, through the opportunity of playing against Kansas State Interchange to get in touch with the old Winter, coupled with the identity of the Texas team, it should still be possible to meet.

Three days later, the University of Texas played at home against Kansas State University.

Kansas State University's current strength ranks among the top in the Big 12 league, and the star is junior Kadir Martin.

Martin was named to the Big 12's second team last season and has strong scoring ability.

In history, Martin participated in the draft after four years of college and failed in the draft, but he played in the NBA with his own efforts. He is also an inspirational figure.

The game was fierce, but Durant scored consecutively at the critical moment, and the University of Texas won the game 71-61.

In the game's technical statistics, Durant had a maximum of 27 points, while Lin Ying had 13 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 assists.

After the game, Springman found the head coach of Kansas State University and contacted the old Winter through his phone.

Old Winter is more enthusiastic than he thought.

The triangle offense is very successful in the NBA, but now no one except the Lakers is using this tactic. Not even Kansas State is using it.

Because this tactic has very high requirements for team configuration and tactical literacy,

In a sense, it means a single pass.

So someone is willing to learn. Old Winter is naturally very happy, because it means that his life's hard work can be passed on.

The communication was very pleasant, and the two were scheduled to meet in two days.

After confirming the time, Springman found Durant and Lin Ying, and he was going to take the two to meet Old Winter.

If you can solve Old Winter's "karma," it will undoubtedly help the two of them master the triangle offense.

Lin Ying was still a little excited when she heard that Springman was going to take him to see Old Winter.

There is a saying that seeing it is better than hearing it.

Before, his triangle offense was just a noun, no different from Princeton, running bombing, and pick-and-roll tactics.

But I watched the Lakers and Bulls game before, and after really looking at it with a research attitude, I discovered the awesomeness of this tactic.

It is like seeing a great painting, and you are going to meet the painter who painted it now!

And the place where Springman and Old Winter agreed to meet is also very interesting; it's an indoor arena in Los Angeles.

This means that Old Winter is going to teach Durant how to play triangle tactics!

Old Winter has gray hair and a swollen and wrinkled face, just like a western man in his 80s should have.

But his spirit still seems very vigorous.

In history, this man lived to be 96 years old, nearly a century old, and is considered an NBA player for life.

As for Springman's direct behavior, Old Winter said, "I like it very much!"

He had the heart to teach. Springman also brought the players, which is much more convenient.

And I have heard of him, Durant. The top three high school students in the United States have shown their top-scoring talents this season. It is hard not to be noticed.

He was a little surprised when he saw Lin Ying. He thought that Springman would bring the traditional big center forward.

However, in the next chat and presentation session, Old Winter had a new understanding of Lin Ying.

And another big man soon appeared in his mind.

Kukoc, Tony

"They are very suitable for this tactic."

After realizing this, he also gave Springman some reassurance.

Then, he started to teach.

A triangular offense is a systematic offense.

According to the old Winter's explanation, it is an offensive tactic based on "interpretation and reaction".

This is a bit difficult to understand. To put it simply, read the opponent's defense, and then establish a reasonable triangle to find a chance to score.

This is a concept, and then, based on different positions and end points, it can be roughly divided into four types of offenses, namely: Low.Post, Pinch.Post, Corner.Pnr, and PnrBlind.Pig.

Translated into Chinese, it means low position singles, weak side horns, corner picks and rolls, and blind pigs.

Of course, these are the four basic tactics. Just like the concept emphasized by the old Winter, the triangle offense is not a fixed position; it needs to be read and reacted to.

So many detailed tactics have evolved from these four basic tactics, which are endless.

Then the old Winter, based on Durant and Lin Ying's technical characteristics, paid attention to Low.Post, which is the tactics of low singles.

Lin Ying saw Jordan fall in the low post, and Kukoc's style of holding the ball at the top of the arc is actually one of the evolutionary tactics of low post singles.

The only difference is that the original low position has been changed from an inside line to an outside line.

Like Lin Ying thought before, this tactic is to play Jordan's destructive power in the low post.

Of course, what Old Winter said was not just what Lin Ying thought of; he talked a lot about the details of this low-post attack alone.

Because, as he said at the beginning, the core of the triangle offense is reading and reacting, so reading is the prerequisite.

Just like ordinary people playing basketball, the first thing to do is to first think about what technique to use to launch an offense, and the one with a high level is to choose which technique to attack based on the defense.

So when will Durant sink to the inside? This is a very detailed question.

Then if you can't play this tactic, it doesn't matter; the triangle offense can be switched at any time.

Old Winter went on to talk about the corner. PNR, which is a corner pick and roll,

Corner pick-and-rolls are generally a tactic that requires the coordination of the first and third positions.

This requires a certain amount of breakthrough and shooting ability in the first position, and good passing ability in the third position.

For more specifics, refer to Pippen and Cole of the Bulls and Odom and Fisher of the Lakers in history.

This tactic is launched at a forty-five-degree angle. The first position gives the ball to the third position, and then the third position pick-and-roll picker passes the ball to start the offense. You can go to the corner to shoot three-pointers or borrow the basket. The pick-and-roll at the fifth position breaks and scores, or goes inside to directly break the score.

Still, press the sentence, read and react, and choose the most reasonable offensive line according to the opponent's defensive focus.

Then, like the low post attack, this tactic does not necessarily have to be the first and third positions.

Augustine can, and he is also the best.

But the role of the third position can be played by Lin Ying in the fourth position, because Lin Ying's passing ability is better.

And he also has a stable outside shooting ability, which can create more offensive space for the first position.

The feature of this tactic is that Durant does not have to participate, and it can be used when Durant is resting off the court.

It was just a few simple explanations of tactics, and Lin Ying felt that the door to her new world had been opened a lot.

And he also realized that the conclusions he had obtained by watching the video analysis before were still one-sided.

The true triangle offense is not just a superstar singles tactic; it is far more complex and advanced than imagined.

Teaching karma to solve puzzles is really different from simply reading a theory book.

Lin Ying wishes that time could be slowed down.

But the old winter is getting older after all, and explaining to them all that the afternoon consumes almost the same amount of energy as the morning does is not possible.

And when he finished explaining, his view of Lin Ying was completely different from when he first came.

This thing is just like a real class. After the teacher finishes the class, the students will be able to distinguish whether they are good or bad.

Specifically, when he was parting, Old Winter not only gave Lin Ying a copy of the book he had brought, but also wrote his own mailbox on it.

If you have any questions, you can email me.

This is Chi Guoguo's preference.

But there is nothing wrong with it; gold always shines.

Springman's appreciation of Lin Ying before, and now old Winter's preference, are all proofs.

Or you can understand it as a kind of talent, a tactical talent.

Just like in many fantasy novels, Lin Ying's technology tree is different from others.

But there are a few people who practice in different science and technology fields, and naturally, it is easy to get the favor of people of the same kind.

I have a theory and an understanding, and then I have training.

Triangle tactics are not so simple to master.

Just like in history, after a series of failed teaching assistants, Phil Jackson once said that he was not surprised.

Because the triangle tactics require a lot of basic training, to improve the players' ability to read the game, pass the ball, tacitly understand and so on,

This is by no means as simple as "being chased, falling off a cliff, not dying, and acquiring magical skills" as in the novel.

However, half of the training content for Lin Ying and Durant is basic training, so they get started much faster than others.

Barnes's sophistication is also reflected at this time.

The team is training the triangle offense, but he just doesn't use it, just plays it, he doesn't.

He is not in a hurry to apply the team's new tactics to the game, because he knows that if the new tactics are used to lose, it will be very damaging to the players' motivation to train.

This is the same as holding a big move. You can't let the progress bar come out if you don't hold it well.

Barnes also has the capital to make big moves.

The University of Texas has a good record recently and can't beat Kansas, but it is still very sure when facing other opponents.

Time flies, and one month later,

In the past month, the University of Texas played a total of 6 games, including 2 invitational games, with a record of 5 wins and 1 loss.

As the tacit understanding of the new starting lineup has increased, the team's competitiveness has continued to improve.

And with this wave of good records, their ranking in the Big 12 division also rose to third place.

At this time, Barnes began to play the triangle offense.

In the first game in February, the University of Texas and Texas Tech ushered in the second encounter of the season.

This time it is at the home court of Texas Tech.

What is this game? The fans who arrived had seen the triangle offensive tactics again in the NCAA arena after many years.

Although this triangle offense is a little different from what they had seen before, it is equally effective.

All of Lin Ying's passing ability, Augustine's three-pointers and breakthroughs, and even James' air-cut ability, have all been very well displayed in the game.

Of course, what gives the fans the most visual impact is Durant's huge lethality in the low post.

Originally, because the NCAA has a small venue, it was difficult for you to feel comfortable in low-post singles like in the NBA.

But the triangle tactic solved this problem.

After Wendell blocked the Texas Tech center, Durant got a lot of low singles opportunities at the basket.

With the NCAA's absolute height and wingspan at the fifth position and a significantly improved confrontation compared to the beginning of the season, he has a lot of advantages in playing opposing forwards and guards.

Even if Wendell doesn't get stuck there sometimes, Durant can easily kill the opposing center after turning around.

"He played like Michael Jordan!"

Even the home commentator couldn't help but sigh after seeing Durant's performance.

In the end, Durant scored 35 points and successfully avenged Texas Tech with a season-high scoring rate.

"He called me Michael! Michael! "

In the passage back to the locker room after the game, Durant shouted at Lin Ying with excitement.

Durant's excitement can be understood. In the minds of basketball players, Jordan is a god-like existence.

Although the commentator may say that more because he thinks of Jordan's low singles scene when the Bulls played.

But no matter what it is, it is already very high praise to compare you with Jordan.

Lin Ying couldn't hide his excitement and nodded.

There is still a month to go before he fights Kansas again, but he is already a little impatient.
