Chapter 302: Person-to-person

Welcome to your visit, please remember the address of this site:, mobile phone reading, so as to read the latest chapter of the novel "Ballmaster's Black Technology System" at any time...
Li Liang did not expect that Adolph Rupp came to teach him this time.
When he was playing football in Kentucky, Li Liang knew this old man, the monster of Kentucky basketball.
He led the University of Kentucky to the first ncaa championship in team history as early as 1947-1948.
In the four years of 1948-1951, he led the Kentucky Wildcats to three championships and founded an era belonging to Kentucky in ncaa.
He taught at the University of Kentucky for 41 years, starting in 1930 and retiring in 1972.
Forty years in ncaa, Rupp led Kentucky to four championships, entered the finals five times, and entered the national competition 20 times, with countless honors.
But if you open the list of players Rupp has coached, you will find that there are no super players.
The most famous ones are Pat Riley and Dan Issel (Li Liang followed the story).
Riley is not well-known for playing football, but because he is a coach and manager.
In other words, Rupp's players have never been a big genius.
He didn't have Jabal and Bill Wharton like John Wooden, nor Jordan or Worthy like Dean Smith.
He coaches some relatively mediocre players.
During Rupp’s 41 years at the University of Kentucky, 80% of the players he recruited were Kentucky natives.
Of course, a state's basketball talent can't be compared with the whole country.
In this case, such achievements can be achieved, which is enough to show the level of Rupp coaching.
He is therefore well-known in Kentucky.
Because I knew Rupp in the Kentucky Basketball Hall of Fame before and knew that it was the grandfather of my school, Li Liang entered the system and was a little more nervous than the previous classes.
As you can see from the name, Rupp is a German. He has a good face. Because he always likes to wear a brown suit, he is called "brown man".
Seeing Li Liang, Rupu stepped forward and reached out and shook hands with Li Liang.
Each coach has his own style of coaching, Bob Knight is grumpy, John Wooden chicken broth, Don Huggins is tough, Rupp is cold and precise.
This is different from the coach who likes to yell, Rupp doesn't like to yell at players.
But Rupp's requirements for players are very, very high, especially in terms of basic skills and details.
This is why Rupp has no talented players but can succeed.
He pinned every technical and tactical detail to the extreme, using precise tactical cooperation to make up for the lack of talent in the players.
Li Liang heard something about this, so when I saw Rupp looking at him up and down, I didn't know why it was a little hairy.
"Did you wear a pin?" Rupe asked suddenly.
Li Liang was stunned, what's the problem, pin?
Li Liang scratched his head and said, "No."
Rupu said: "The next time you come, bring a pin, this time will bring you good luck."
Li Liang is full of black thread, why do pins bring good luck?
Later, Li Liang figured it out. It turned out that coach Rupp, like many nba players, is also a superstition.
He believes that if he can find a pin or a card on the field on the game day, it indicates good luck.
Also, on game day, he will put a horse chestnut leaf in his suit pocket, which is his lucky thing.
Regarding his brown suit, he kept wearing it until the suit was very old.
Because once he changed a new blue suit to coach the game, the team lost terribly.
Since then, Coach Rupp has never changed his suit and has been wearing an old brown suit.
It can only be said that in the basketball world, feudal superstition has a wide spread foundation.
After that, Li Liang followed Rupp to the training ground, and unexpectedly met Pat Riley.
Li Liang and Riley's fate is really not shallow.
In reality, I have met chattering and joking, and they are doing counterpoints together in the nba mission.
In the tactical training mission, he met Riley, a young college student, the foul king.
Li Liang joined the Kentucky Wildcats training in 1966.
The Wildcats are called rupp\'srunts, or Rupp's dwarf team, because there is no player in the team whose height is more than 6 feet 5 (1 meter 95).
But it was such a dwarf team that even reached the ncaa finals that year.
Kentucky’s opponent that year was Don Huggins’ West Texas United, the first all-black starter.
The last time Li Liang learned the tactics of double-packing, he was studying at West Texas United and Hudgens.
Unexpectedly, when I came to learn to mark people today, I met Rupp. This system must be intentional.
Unlike West Texas United, Rupp is a firm executor of man-to-man defense.
He has been coaching Kentucky since the 1930s, insisting on simple but effective man-to-man defense, and resolutely not using other defensive strategies.
Even if his team always suffers in height, he still uses a tough, confrontational man-to-man defense and has achieved good results.
Rupp has a deep understanding of the seemingly simplest and least technical defense method of man-to-man.
"Using good man-to-man defense, everything else is actually not important." Rupu said to Li Liang.
Li Liang thought, Mike Brown did not say so.
Coach Brown likes playing defensively best on defense. Anyway, the league can now defend, and all kinds of tossing Li Liang.
After a while, the midfield swept away, for a while, 1-4 defenses, for a while, the side was blocked, and for a while, the center was flapped.
Li Liang was bothered by Mike Brown.
But Mike Brown's defense does have two brushes. When the Lakers' overall defense is aging, using strategies to compensate for weaknesses and tactics to compensate for physical strength is indeed useful.
Unlike Rupp, the team he coaches is a college team, and students have no physical problems.
However, the players have their own characteristics, and the general characteristics of Kentucky college players are short.
How can this be done by one-on-one defense?
Before the training started, Li Liang took the initiative to ask, "If you meet a tall opponent, would you just use one-on-one staring?"
Rupp looked at Li Liang and said, "If we encounter a tall team, we will use 1-3-1 defense."
"Ok?"
Li Liang said hello at one end, you just said that using good guys to man defense is not important.
I thought you would always have a high opinion, and as a result you will also use joint defense!
Rupp saw Li Liang's thoughts and said: "I am the first coach kid to promote the use of joint defense in ncaa. People must learn and improve continuously, and they cannot limit themselves to death. But man-to-man defense will always be The foundation of nba defense, the cornerstone, do you think this is a problem?"
Although Rupp was a firm man-to-man defender, he also kept pace with the times and began to learn and introduce 1-3-1 defense in 1963.
Otherwise, "Rupp's dwarf" could not reach the finals.
Li Liang listened busyly: "No problem, Ning is right."
Facing the grandfather, Li Liang's attitude is still very good.
Then, formal training began.
The content of the training is also very clear, do not practice technology, because that is the task goal in [defense ability].
The main practice in Rupp is the consciousness and cooperation of person-to-person.
Li Liang's perimeter defense skills are already very good, and his basic skills in college were good.
After tempering and upgrading in missions and real games, speed, confrontation and experience have risen across the board.
Li Liang thought that he would practice defensive tactics again, and Nima could go back and become a coach.
Man-to-man seems to be just "staring at his opponent", but in fact there are routines and cooperation.
In the first lesson, if one-on-one, two-on-two, and three-on-three were performed, if the defense was not lost, they could cooperate and help each other.
Because the opponent's offensive tactics must revolve around disturbing man-to-man deployment, with misalignment and gaps.
Therefore, a man-to-man defense player must have a good defensive ability.
At the same time, we must pay close attention to the movements of teammates and opponents, predict in advance, and rotate in time.
These things were studied in Kentucky before, and later in the Lakers, Li Liang.
But entering systematics is still a bit different~EbookFREE.me~ That is to say that Lupu is really too meticulous.
He gave clear rules on when and when players should move, when they should cross-transpose, and when they should assist in man-to-man defense.
The distance between players is appropriate, Rupp is almost using a ruler to measure.
During the training, the distance between the players is not properly controlled, and the timing of the transposition is inaccurate, and Rupp will stop to correct it.
After half an hour, Li Liang felt a headache.
In the nba coach, it is not so detailed, the nba coach who does this in the impression is only Larry Brown.
He built the Detroit Pistons in 2004.
Li Liang thought that none of these famous coaches in the basketball world is a fuel-efficient lamp.
Each of them has their metamorphosis.
Think about it this way, or Mike Brown is better.
