Since every re-challenge is in "clearance mode" and everything starts over, Tang Qian's attempt to instill new things into head coach Alex Hannum may not necessarily succeed. In this way, losing the first game
, is necessary. Otherwise, the latter cannot be allowed to understand its changes and the severity of its form.
In the first game, the 76ers, who had the home court advantage, lost, and the Philadelphia Convention Hall Arena was booed.
Because the team lost to the Warriors by a full 31 points! This made the originally confident Philadelphia fans find the gap too big and difficult to accept for a while.
Head coach Alex Hannum was furious. He almost spit at the training ground and yelled at everyone from beginning to end. "What are you playing? Have you forgotten how to play basketball? Yesterday
What was that? What was it??? Was it a piece of shit basketball? You were brutally slaughtered for 31 points by your opponent in front of your own home. How dare you???"
No one dared to answer the question. Even though Alex Hannum was not strong in body or had thick arms, he was known for his fiery temper. When he first came to the 76ers at the beginning of the season, he dared to "toughen" the team members.
Wilt Chamberlain, who shouted "If you don't accept it, challenge him". This kind of person, after one season, has long established the team's absolute authority.
Even Chamberlain had to obey him.
There was no way, who could tell them to have the best record in the league right away, and then help the 76ers destroy the Boston Celtics, the absolute hegemons at the time? Just these two points, Philadelphia players can't help it from top to bottom.
Take it orally and heartily.
But now, someone is about to stand up and challenge his authority.
He is No. 13, "Tang Qian".
"What??? Wilt, are you kidding? You actually want to discuss new tactics and new systems with me??? Just you???" Alex Hannam said directly after hearing this
He answered his own doubts and said, this is also his style. He speaks when he has something to say and never hides it. Of course, there are enough reasons for his doubts and doubts. Who made Chamberlain in history have an ordinary work attitude towards basketball?
He is even more devoted and passionate about track and field than basketball.
Needless to say, Chamberlain's personal ability stands out from the crowd, and he is undoubtedly one of the strongest in the NBA. But when it comes to discussing tactics and system issues, is this something that the former can do? With all his brains, how can he figure out such a thing?
It’s no wonder that Alex Hannum questioned it. Who among Philadelphia players doesn’t know that Wilt Chamberlain will never touch anything related to basketball again after he gets off the court? Because the aspects he has to take into consideration are far from this long-term goal.
A small venue that is 94 feet wide and 50 feet wide can accommodate it. So Alex Hannam’s attitude and tone are really normal.
However, Tang Qian still explained patiently. After all, this situation was not encountered by the Lakers last time in the 1970s. If you want to instill this concept that surpasses basketball for nearly half a century into the head coach, it is indeed indispensable.
It takes some effort.
"High pick-and-roll? What does that mean? And mention the pick-and-roll above the free throw line? What the hell is this? Wilt, is this the new tactic you came up with???" Alex Hannum
Just as he was about to refute, Tang Qian took the initiative to give a demonstration. He asked a teammate to fully defend the team's main outside offensive point, Hall Greer, and then suddenly lifted it up. With a "bang" sound, the defender
After being blocked by him, Howl Greer was completely left unguarded. Even if someone tried to defend him again, the former would have sufficient space to accelerate and cut in, and his destructive ability would greatly increase.
this……
Alex Hannum is no ordinary person. As the biggest enemy of the Boston people, he once successfully blocked the Celtics dynasty during its most prosperous era and led the St. Louis Hawks to win the championship. And the real historical space
In the 1966-67 season, it was him who played the role of the Green Army's terminator. Therefore, his coaching ability is quite strong, at least for the existence of President Hill in this era. A head coach of this level only needs to have seen
After a complete demonstration, he immediately spied "Buye". He quickly asked "Tang Qian" and Hall Greer to do it again, then nodded slowly and said: "I didn't expect that it really has good combat effectiveness.
But it’s still too one-dimensional, and if the opponent blocks Hall, it will become useless.”
"No, sir, if the opponent chooses to double-team Hall, then he can do this..." Tang Qian asked Hall Greer to cooperate with him to make a ball. After getting the basketball, Tang Qian quickly started to play with
Like a Nordic giant, he accelerated with strides, rushed into the paint, and then violently dunked the basket to finish!
Bang~
In this era, dunks are relatively gentle, because for them, dunks are just an offensive method, and there are not as many amazing tricks as later generations. Otherwise, you can say that a modern guard can violently smash the basket with both hands and weigh 300+ pounds.
Will the athletic monster Wilt Chamberlain not be able to do that? Will he be able to only make soft "crisp buttons"?
Of course it's impossible. It's just because of the limitations of basketball development in that era. If we put it in later generations, it would definitely be violent dunks one after another. After all, he is the first Big Mac in NBA history that can maintain a body size of 300+ pounds. No point.
Strength, what the hell is that?
this……
"Wilt, is this also a trick from the Harlem Basketball Team? I have to say, it does look good and makes defenders afraid!"
Tang Qian was too lazy to explain and nodded: "So after being double-teamed, as long as the news comes out, I can take the opportunity to move down and use my athletic ability to solve the problem." Alex Hannam finally felt a little moved.
Said: "Yeah, with your athletic ability, as long as you charge up, how many people in this league can stop you? I'm afraid even Bill Russell will be choked, right?"
This is the truth. Let’s not talk about the NBA. If you play normally, as long as your opponent really rushes with all their strength, even if the opponent’s physical fitness is not as good as yours, it will be very difficult to defend. This is the power of impact and acceleration, not to mention
Let’s talk about the use of this aspect by professional players. If outside players want to fight against inside players, this set of help is indispensable. The center of the 76ers is a "moving mountain" with extraordinary athletic performance. If he has full horsepower
Come on, Alex Hannum estimates that there are not many people in the league who can forcefully block it.
Even if Bill Russell managed to defend against a few, he would be exhausted after too many times, and the defense line would be riddled with holes.
So... this is indeed a novel and good tactic! I just don’t know how effective it will be in actual combat. Many seemingly fancy tactics are not easy to use in actual combat, or even a complete mess!
"What? Is this just a part? Wilt? Have you really put together a complete tactical system???" After listening to "Tang Qian" continue to talk, Alex Hannam was finally completely surprised.
Because although he has not been exposed to these "new things" before, based on his coaching experience and coaching vision, it is easy to roughly judge whether they are good or bad.
"Pid.roll? Pick-and-roll?"
"Pid.pop? Pick-and-pop?"
"Pid.split? Pick-and-roll?"
"Oh~my~god~Wilt! You really impressed me! With your new tactical system, I estimate that our 76ers can lead the league for several years!" Wait until you finish listening to "Tang Qian"
After the introduction and presentation, Alex Hannam's expression gradually became excited. He was neither a fool nor a mediocre person, so with a little thought, he understood the feasibility of this "new tactical system"!
How many years ahead? Tang Qian smiled slightly when he heard this and said, this is the crystallization of basketball wisdom in the past half century.
"Start trying it right away, start practicing right away. Everyone stops and lets Wilt explain and provide guidance. If you have any questions that you don't understand during the training, ask him and me questions! OK! What are you still doing??
?We can’t start right away???” Compared to Bill Sharman, Alex Hannum is a completely different style of head coach. He is impatient, hot-tempered, passionate, yelling, and excited.
Coaching is the key word.
He is just like a standard "player-based coach".
Of course, Alex Hannum obviously enjoys his coaching career and head coach status more than his boring and fucked-up playing career.
"Then, sir, what should we do with our previous tactics? Are we not going to practice?" Several Philadelphia players asked, a little confused.
"What else are you practicing? Come and practice this!" Alex Hannam said: "Compared with this tactical system, my original tactical system is simply a kindergarten toy. Do you still want to practice backward things?
Compared with the rigorous and theoretical pick-and-roll system of later generations, the basketball tactics of the 1960s were pitifully rudimentary. This is why Alex Hannum started to use it as soon as he figured out this "new thing".
He immediately gave up the reason for his original efforts. Because he secretly compared it in his heart, the latter and the former were not at the same level at all, oh, no, they were not in the same dimension! So, he quickly made up his mind.
Two days passed quickly, and the second game was still held at the Philadelphia Convention Hall, because the 76ers, who had created the best record in the history of the regular season this season, undoubtedly had the home court advantage.
Before the game started, San Francisco Warriors head coach Rick Barry showed off his power and made a move to go home against the 76ers, but soon, the whole of San Francisco felt the pain.
Huge suffering.
The tactical system of the 1960s was even worse and cruder than that of the early 1970s, so with the Phillies' constant high pick-and-rolls, they quickly fell into panic, panic, panic, and finally lost the second game inexplicably.
Game. Tang Qian scored 29 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block in this game, with a shooting percentage of over 80%! This completely stunned the San Francisco Warriors.
Although the "inner demon" still deducted 16% of his competitive status, Tang Qian still obtained good data on the offensive end because of the new tactic's unexpected attack. He was selected as the best player of the game that night, even though Tang Qian
Qian thinks that Hall Greer, who scored 35 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, deserves this honor.
The series is tied at 1:1, and the game will be played at the San Francisco Municipal Auditorium on the third day.
Tang Qian also received the "welfare" of this time and space as the best player that night, a golden ability card fragment.
In the past three days, Philadelphia players have been seizing the time to train new tactics and new systems. Last time they just took advantage of the unexpected, which does not mean that they themselves cooperated more skillfully. In fact, it is up to Tang Qian himself to see, cooperate and execute
, they were all pretty crappy, but this tactical system was too advanced, which made the San Francisco Warriors lose their minds and lost the game in a daze.
But he has no doubt about Bill Salman's coaching ability. He will be able to coach a championship coach with 33 consecutive victories in the future. Is his reputation in vain? So Tang Qian and Alex Hannum discussed it carefully.
Decided to use a new tactic in the second game.
He wants to defeat the people of San Francisco in one fell swoop through constant "surprises and attacks."
