"Breakthrough, yes, good, pass, right, good!" Coach Guo applauded twice and nodded in satisfaction.
On the court, Zhang Guan completed a breakthrough, and then passed the ball to Yao in the moment of defense from the inside player. Yao then shot directly and easily hit a mid-ranger.
This is the most basic cooperation to break the ball and is a set of tactics that Zhang Guan and Yao have been practicing and familiar with. At present, it seems that the effect of this tactic is quite good. At least for Yao, as long as he can receive the ball more comfortably, he can score smoothly.
"Zhang Guan, when you pass the ball, it can be a little higher. I'm not afraid of your high pass. I'm afraid of your low pass. If I lowered my stoop to pick up the ball, I will lose the opportunity to score" Yao said."
"Okay, I will try not to pass the ball too low." Zhang Guan said.
On the sidelines, coach Guo said to Yunas, "I think the cooperation between Yao and Zhang Guan has become more and more tacit."
"Yao is the world's first center after all. He can be familiar with tactics in such a short time. I'm not surprised at all. On the contrary, it is Zhang Guan. His perception is very good. He has been able to use breakthrough points skillfully. Coach Yunas continued, "Some of Zhang Guan's breakthrough should be able to restrain the Yao's forward defense better. Zhang Guan's breakthrough is too sharp, it is difficult to prevent one-on-one, it must be used to assist the insider if it is only necessary. If your opponent uses forward defense, it will not be easy."
Coach Guo nodded, and Coach Yunas continued, "Zhang Guan's progress has exceeded my expectations. I think it is possible to implement the second step of tactical training. Let's generally participate."
"Is it a little too fast? After all, Yao and Zhang Guan only had a few days to train together, and this tactic of breaking the ball, for the defender, the pressure is still great." Coach Guo said.
"The Olympics is almost here. It's not time for me to stay. It must be faster." Coach Yunas finished and picked up the tactical board.
...
"Zhang Guan, in this set of tactics, you are the one who holds the ball to break through, so you are also the most important link." Coach Yunas said while drawing on the tactical board.
Zhang Guan has fully understood this new tactic. This tactic is very simple. Yao is outside the three-second zone. The other three players are all outside the three-point line. Pull out space inside and let Zhang Guan make a breakthrough. Once the opponent comes up to help defense, it will inevitably cause When the defender's opponent is neutral, Zhang Guan passes the ball and the open player completes the attack.
Of course, Yao should be the first receiving point. The opponent who is facing Yao is the center of the other party. In the face of a breakthrough, he must be the first person to come to the defense. Therefore, Yao will have a greater chance of being open. Yao's shooting percentage in the three-second zone, as long as he can receive the ball more comfortably, is a two-pointer, and with better luck will cause a 2+1.
It is roughly the second catch point. To open space for Zhang Guan to break through, he generally needs to stand outside the three-point line. The approximate three-point shooting rate is very high, and with his height, it is difficult for outside players to interfere with the approximate shot, so the opponent will inevitably send a tall forward player to mark roughly, so that the rebound is more empty, making Zhang Guan's breakthrough easier. When Zhang Guan breaks through, if the opponent dares to come up to help defense, as long as the ball passes to the general hands, it will be a good three-pointer opportunity.
So the core of this set of tactics is still to see Zhang Guan. Zhang Guan needs to choose a breakthrough at the best time. He needs to attract the opponent's players to defend. He needs to judge whether he is passing or directly attacking the basket. If he passes, he still needs to watch the pass. To whom, if you pass it to Yao, you should try to ensure that he can receive the ball comfortably, and if you pass it to point guard, you should be as fast as possible to avoid the opponent defending the player from being seated again.
Whether the whole set of tactics will work or not depends on Zhang Guan, the ball-breaker, and this is also a big test for Zhang Guan. Basketball is not only a technical sport but also an empirical sport. Especially for attackers, experience may be more important than technology.
In addition to this, execution is also a big problem. Some players have a strong ability to understand tactics but lack tactical execution, and tactics will fail.
Yunas knew Zhang Guan's tactical literacy was high, but he didn't expect Zhang Guan to be familiar with a set of tactics in a short time, but Zhang Guan's performance was far beyond Yunas's expectations, he only used half a day and can already use this set of breakthrough tactics skillfully.
Looking at Zhang Guan on the court, Yuans sighed, "Perfect, the timing of the breakthrough, the choice of the ball, Zhang Guan's ability to perform tactics is perfect. I have never seen such a talented player!"
"Yeah, Zhang Guan is the best athlete in our country." Coach Guo turned his head and said, "Coach, maybe we can raise the Olympic goals a little bit more."
...
"Zhang Guan, drink water!" Yao handed the water bottle to Zhang Guan. He also sat next to him. After drinking a sip of water, he said, "I received a call yesterday from the Capital Olympics Organizing Committee. They asked me if you would like to be a flag bearer at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games?" I refused, and I recommended you to them."
"Recommended me? Why? That's the flag bearer for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games!" Zhang Guan said.
"I am not the flag bearer of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. I was not the flag bearer of the national team during the Athens Olympic Games! I went back and forth to the rehearsal, and I was very tired." Yao said.
"Thanks to your rehearsal, I can stop by and buy a lottery ticket. The first pot of gold in my life!" Zhang Guan sighed.
"You won't have a chance to buy a lottery ticket this time." Yao showed a signature smile, much like the future meme, and then he continued, "Actually, my leg injury is not good, I was going to prepare for the NBA playoffs. After the end, I will take good care of the wounds, but I am about to go to the Olympics. I want to take a rest so the Olympic rehearsal is a waste of time for me. If I have that time, I might as well go for several physiotherapy sessions."
"Is the leg injury important?" Zhang Guan looked subconsciously at Yao's legs.
"It's okay, it's not crippled, it's all stressful old injuries, rest more and rest, I'm fine!" Yao patted his thigh, and then said, "I have to seize every opportunity to rest now, so I directly recommended you to be the standard-bearer. Your body is full of energy, I know it, and your popularity is higher than mine. You are most suitable to be the opening standard-bearer!"
