Chapter 174 New tactics emerge!
After the game, Lin Yu hugged Kobe.

"You win this time, but you won't keep winning."

"Kobe, I'm actually looking forward to beating you in the playoffs, but looking at the current situation of the Lakers, it should be difficult."

"I will win the championship this season, and I will be waiting for your challenge next season!"

Hearing Lin Yu's confident words, Kobe wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to refute.

There are actually not many teams that have a chance to win the championship this season.

Except for the rising Suns.

Actually, it's the Pistons, Pacers, Heat, and Spurs.

Although the Mavericks, Suns and other teams are also strong teams, in general, the outside world is not optimistic about their championship prospects.

The Pistons, Pacers and Heat were all defeated by Lin Yu...

"Lin Yu, it's not easy to win the championship. Tim Duncan is definitely not a player that can be easily defeated!"

Tim Duncan!

There are so many legends about this man.

Not entering the NBA caused the entire NBA to fall into disarray.

The cardinal even gave up all the Celtics' honors for him.

"Whether I can beat him or not, we'll know only after the fight. I'm going to play against Duncan soon, and then you'll know the result, Kobe."

At this moment, Lin Yu's eyes were full of fighting spirit.

Kobe didn't say much when he saw this scene, or perhaps he was beginning to look forward to the contest between the two sides!
Rivers on the sidelines, celebrating the victory.

At the same time, I began to think about the five elements of death.

After using the Death Five today, Rivers unexpectedly discovered this lineup.

It’s really useful!

Although Hardaway is at the end of his career, he is still quite effective against some guards who are not good at breaking through.

Lin Yu can perfectly defend from the first position to the fifth position.

And the most important thing is that this lineup grabs a lot of rebounds.

In the second half, the Celtics grabbed 11 more rebounds than the Lakers!

But this is normal, as the average height of Celtics players is over 2 meters.

The shortest player, Hardaway, is 2 meters tall.

This height is particularly advantageous when competing for rebounds.

Rivers felt that he could give it another try in the next game.

Anyway, the regular season is just a time to fine-tune the lineup.

Barkley, who was in the commentary booth, also said with emotion: "I am here and I have to admire Coach Rivers' change of formation."

"Before the game started, I thought the Celtics would struggle against top defenders."

"But Rivers used a five-high lineup and ended up beating the Lakers easily."

"I have to say here that Coach Rivers is great at changing formations and coaching!"

Smith also added: "This lineup is really scary. The rebounding, defense and even offense made the Lakers unable to fight back. I wonder if this is the Celtics' secret weapon?"

"Perhaps Coach Rivers will reveal this secret in the next press conference."

And at the press conference.

Facing the interview of the reporter: "Coach Doug, what do you think about using a five-high lineup in this game?"

What do you think?

Rivers glanced at Lin Yu beside him.

He could say that it was Lin Yu who wanted to defend Kobe at that time, and then he tried it.

But we are also people who want to save face.

So… "I had this tactical idea before, and today I tried it out against the Lakers, a strong opponent, and it really worked well."

Lin Yu, who was standing aside, twitched his mouth slightly when he heard what Rivers said.

This is crazy...

When did you take us through the drill?
At this time, a reporter interviewed Lin Yu.

"Lin Yu, what do you think of this five-high strategy?"

"Let me start by saying that the name of this tactic is 'Death Five'. The concept of the tactic is also based on the concept of the future of basketball that the famous coach Pat Riley had at the time."

"I am very satisfied with this tactic, because many people criticized me before that an inside player did not fight in the low post but held the ball in the high post."

"If I'm in this system, I'm the point guard, holding the ball at the top of the key and starting to organize the offense."

Lin Yu was actually quite satisfied with the Five Deaths.

Even though the 76ers' death five failed in the future, it doesn't mean that this tactic was wrong.

On the contrary, Lin Yu believes that the Five Deaths can be successful.

The 76ers can't do it, but it's because their lineup is too distorted.

The Five Deaths! ?
Pat Riley's Future Basketball! ?

Rivers on the side looked confused.

I just tried a five-high tactic casually, and you even thought of the name and source for me?
There was excitement in the eyes of the reporters.

The Five Deaths!

What a great name!

The next day, Lin Yu’s words became the headline of the sports section of Meilijia.

ESPN: Death Five! Celtics win the yellow-green battle!

Sports Illustrated: The future of basketball? The Celtics' secret weapon!
Los Angeles Times: The Five Deaths! The tactical philosophy of famous coaches!

……

The outside world is also discussing the Celtics' lineup at this time.

After all, this tactic is really unique!

While the outside world was discussing this, the Celtics rested for a night and then came to Dallas.

According to Nelson's original history, he was fired by Cuban in the latter part of this season.

But according to history, old Nelson had already been fired.

The current head coach of the Mavericks is "Little General" Avery Johnson.

The main reason why the young general has been criticized by fans throughout history is his one-on-one tactics.

The Mavericks have a total of five sets of tactics: Driver singles, Josh Howard singles, Terry singles, Finley singles, and Stackhouse singles.

In addition to five sets of one-on-one tactics, the young general's tactic is the staggered pick-and-roll.

Take the driver as an example. After the mismatch, the driver can directly shoot with his height advantage facing the short guard.

If you are facing a slow inside player like Lakers center Chris Mihm.

An experienced driver can directly overtake his opponent by relying on his speed advantage.

The Golden State Gang's black eight can be said to be the predecessor of the future champion Warriors' death five small and one big four small.

The Warriors' regular season lineup is: Baron Davis, Ellis, Richardson, Wusheng Jackson, Biedrins, a typical lineup of one big and four small.
There are also a group of substitutes such as Barnes and Pietrus, whose ideas are very similar to those of the current Warriors. They give up low-post offense in the interior and play open offense, competing in speed, offense, three-pointers and touch.

By the playoffs, the lineup was changed to Byron Davis, Matt Barnes, Richardson, Jackson, and Biedrins.

The characteristics of the Warriors' player defending the driver are exactly in the middle. He is over 2 meters tall, neither tall nor short, and is very strong and is not at a disadvantage compared to bigger guys.

However, his mobility is the same as that of a smaller player, and his advantage of mismatch is reduced by his full-strength defense and the front defense of the driver.

In addition, the driver is immature and can only play facing the basket, but his ability to play behind the basket and assist is poor.

This is also the main reason why the Mavericks were eliminated in the black round.
