What are basketball tactics?

This is a very broad thing.

According to written terms, basketball tactics is the general term for the offensive and defensive methods used by players in basketball games. It is the rational use of individual skills of players and the organizational form of collaborative cooperation between players.

But the purpose of basketball tactics is relatively narrow, and it mainly includes two aspects.

One is to send the basketball into the basket in a simpler way;

The second is to allow more players to participate in the offense and maintain enthusiasm on the court.

The second point is a point that is easily overlooked, while the first point is the most critical point.

Take the zone-breaking defense that Springman talked about.

The meaning of playing more and less locally is to create open opportunities, and then use methods including but not limited to three-pointers to send the ball into the basket more easily.

So why should we emphasize this point when breaking the zone defense?

This has a lot to do with the way of zone defense.

Zone defense is a defensive method in which players are responsible for defending their respective areas. This means that when defending, only the entire defensive formation will move, and the players on the left will not move to the right.

So how can we achieve localized treatment of more and less?

It’s also very simple. According to the characteristics of zone defense, as long as the offensive team’s inside line picks and rolls at a high position, and then the players in the center line or one side move to the other side, it will form a local overplaying situation.

This is why many times when there is a zone defense on the court, you can often see players going from the baseline to the other side to catch the ball and shoot open three-pointers.

Springman's example is very vivid.

Just like when you were a student and knew how to solve a problem and why it could be solved that way, the levels are different.

After Lin Ying listened, he looked at the basketball technical and tactical manual on the table, just like reading a martial arts secret book.

If he masters these tactics, it will definitely take his strength to a higher level.

"Coach, thank you."

Lin Ying looked at Springman, with heartfelt gratitude in his eyes.

First Durant, then Springman, this world is much better than the world before him!

Springman smiled and nodded to Lin Ying. The scene was very warm.

"Rose, where's mine?"

However, this warm scene was quickly broken by someone's words.

The person who broke it was naturally Durant.

Durant looked at Springman expectantly, just like a child asking his parents for candy.

Springman was stunned for a moment.

Ah, I didn’t ask you to come here before!

But looking at Durant's expectant eyes, he definitely couldn't say that directly.

"Kevin, you are already good enough."

Springman said with a smile.

Durant was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

Even though you didn’t get anything, why wouldn’t you like hearing the coach say you’re awesome?

As soon as he came out of Springman's room, Durant bumped into Lin Ying with his shoulder.

Although he didn't say anything, you could tell that he was completely happy for Lin Ying.

"It's Christmas in two days, how about you come to my house?"

Durant then extended an invitation to Lin Ying.

Christmas, in the United States, is equivalent to the Chinese New Year and is the most important day of the year.

Last year, Lin Ying was not particularly familiar with Durant, so this was the first time Durant had extended such an invitation to him.

"Don't worry, it's not a party, it's just me and my family."

Durant saw Lin Ying didn't react at first and then added.

Lin Ying nodded after hearing this.

During the Spring Festival, his "uncle" would take him with him, but last year he spent Christmas alone at the training ground.

Durant said this, which shows that he really wants him to go and he can't refuse.

After all, Durant is his only friend.

When Durant saw Lin Ying agreeing, he jumped excitedly and looked quite happy.

A few days later, Christmas 2006 arrived as scheduled.

On Christmas Eve, Lin Tian and Durant went to his home together.

A very ordinary small attic.

Others were already in the room: Durant's mother, Wanda Pratt, grandmother, Barbara Davis, brother, Tony Durant, and Michael Beasley.

Durant had more or less talked about Beasley with Lin Ying before.

Beasley's family situation is even worse than Durant's. Like Durant, his parents are divorced, but his father does not pay child support and his mother works multiple jobs to support the family, resulting in him growing up completely freely.

It is not difficult to understand why Beasley has so much trouble off the court.

It's just a melon vine. If you don't pull it, it will basically grow crooked, let alone a human being?

Fortunately, Beasley got to know Durant, and Wanda was a good person and adopted Beasley.

So in a sense, Beasley can be regarded as one of Durant's "family".

There were not many people, but we had Christmas food and the house was decorated in a festive atmosphere.

All of this was done by Durant's mother, Wanda.

Wanda was also very enthusiastic towards Lin Ying, and that maternal love made Lin Ying feel indescribably warm.

When eating, Wanda kept putting things on his plate.

Seeing that he didn't do much, she even got up and tore off the turkey legs and gave them to him.

Lin Ying felt like there was sand in her eyes, so she stood up and said she was going to the bathroom.

When he got to the toilet and closed the door, he couldn't control his emotions and cried.

In fact, among the three people, he may be the most miserable one.

Because the last time he felt this kind of tenderness was when he was very young.

It was really small, so small that he couldn't even remember what it felt like.

For a long time after that, he never had a chance again.

After waiting for a while, Lin Ying regained her composure, washed her face and left the bathroom.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Lin Ying's eye circles turning red, Wanda asked with concern.

"It's okay, a bug flew in."

Lin Ying opened his mouth to explain.

"I already told you to install a screen in the bathroom, otherwise there will be a lot of bugs."

Durant said after hearing this.

"It's December, there are a lot of bugs."

Tony Durant on the side said and knocked Durant on the head.

The two soon started arguing.

"Okay, let's eat first. Who wants the other turkey leg?"

Wanda spoke at this time.

"I want!"

"I want you to be an older brother, don't you know how to give way to your younger brother?"

"Brother also wants to grow taller, and I'm looking for a girlfriend."

…

Looking at the two people who kept bickering, Lin Ying's heart felt like a furnace.

Comparing it to his deserted environment most of the time, this is probably the atmosphere of home.

After finishing the meal, the room finally became quieter.

Durant was sitting on the balcony looking outside.
