Chapter 301 DDM Tactics
Patrick's jump ball lost again, allowing Kentucky to claim the ball.

Andrew Harrison controls the ball. He is 198 cm tall, the same as his brother Aaron Harrison, and the same as Devin Booker. In terms of their respective position distribution, Andrew is the No. 1 position, and Booker is the No. 2 position. Aaron is the 3rd position, Stein is the 4th position, and Towns is the 5th position.After Andrew came to the frontcourt, he passed the ball quickly and gave it to Booker.

Booker took the ball and didn't wait for his teammates to come up to help him pick and roll, but directly broke through, and the others opened up. Andrew and Aaron were both outside the three-point line, Stein was on the right side, and Towns was on the weak side on the left. The space in the middle is wide open, showing a huge gap, providing Booker with enough space to break through.

I saw Booker speeding up, then quickly dribbled the ball under his crotch, and changed direction, but he didn't speed up immediately, but there was a pause, which made Andy pause for a moment subconsciously.

At this moment, Booker found an opportunity, suddenly lowered his center of gravity, accelerated, and took advantage of this change in rhythm to suddenly rush past Andy.

As the team's "sixth man" this season, Booker averaged 10 points per game. Like Towns, it can be seen that his scoring ability is very strong.

When passing Andy, Booker jumped up and made a throw, avoiding Patrick's block.

Swish!
The goal was scored and the score became 40:38.

Davidson College quickly counterattacked, Meng Yun came to the frontcourt, Andrew pounced on him, baring his teeth and claws, looking fierce, interfering with Meng Yun, but Meng Yun didn't care, he protected the ball with one hand, directed his teammates to run with the other, and then flicked his wrist, Passed the ball to Ronald, Ronald took the ball and shot, but failed to score.

When Davidson College retreated to the defense, the University of Kentucky killed, and Booker broke through with the ball again, but this time Davidson College was prepared and did not let him succeed easily.

Booker didn't force himself, he distributed the ball outside and passed it to Aaron. Aaron didn't hesitate after taking the ball.

One step inside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the right, Stein raised his hand and shot when he got the ball.

Swish!
Also entered, the score was 42:38.

"Something's wrong." Meng Yun frowned, always feeling something was wrong. The opponent's two attacks were obviously very different from the first half.Moreover, the opponent's offensive methods are all breakthroughs. The center is on the weak side, and the others pull away, leaving a gap in the middle for the ball holder to break through.The first attack Booker made a layup directly after breaking through, and the second time he scored the ball outside. After consecutive points, he made an outside shot.

Both attacks were quick, neither taking more than 15 seconds.

This is very different from the first half. In the first half, the opponent mainly played the inside line and sent out the twin towers. Almost every attack would find a way to give it to the inside line. It is normal for an attack to consume more than [-] seconds.

But now.
On the sidelines, Danny Climans frowned, and suddenly had a strange feeling that these two University of Kentucky offenses made him feel familiar, but he couldn't figure out why they were so familiar.

"It's a DDM tactic." Mason Carr said suddenly.

"What?" Danny Clemens was stunned for a moment, his mind was pounding, and he suddenly understood, "The four outside players are ready to attack at any time, and the center is always on the weak side. There is no center high to support the outside players. Make space. Peripheral players use the ball to break through layups, mid-range jump shots and three-pointers as the main scoring methods. There is no pick-and-roll, no cover, and every attack pursues to end the battle in the shortest time. No wonder I feel familiar, this It's DDM tactics."

The so-called DDM tactic, the full name is Dribble Drive Motion, which is the "dribble breakthrough tactic". The abbreviation of "Attack-Attack-Dodge-Attack-Attack".

The DDM tactic was invented by Vance Wilberg, but it was carried forward by John Calipari.

In the 2007-08 season, John Calipari was still the head coach of the University of Memphis. At that time, Derek Rose was the core player of Memphis Dawei. Derek Rose's lightning speed and excellent breakthrough ability made John -Calipari has won the treasure and established DDM tactics as the core tactics of the University of Memphis.

John - Calipari, DDM tactics, Derek - Rose, the combination of these three makes the University of Memphis sweep the United States with its whirlwind speed.

In that year, the University of Memphis won 38 games in a single season with DDM tactics, becoming the most in the NCAA.

Looking at John Calipari, Danny Klemans' face has changed. In the first half of the game, the opponent relied more on the inside, which was a positional battle. He suddenly forgot that DDM tactics are the most important. John Calipari's fame stunt.

"I vaguely guessed it when the opponent sent Towns, Stein, Harrison Brothers, and Booker." Mason Carr sighed: "But I still didn't expect that the University of Kentucky could execute DDM tactics so well. .”

Danny Klemans raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then what should we do now?"

Mason Carr said: "Call a timeout first."

When the ball is next dead, Davidson College requests a timeout.

The players came down, Mason Carr said: "The opponent is using DDM tactics."

Everyone was shocked and understood.

"Sure enough." Meng Yun thought to himself. Coach Carl mentioned the DDM tactics two days ago when he introduced University of Kentucky head coach John Calipari and explained it. But for players, what they need to know is The opponent's player, so Mason Carr also stopped talking and didn't talk about it in depth.

Later, Meng Yun was curious, and searched online, but he didn't know much, just some written descriptions, and he was still a little uncertain until he saw it just now.

It turned out that this is the DDM tactic.

"Coach." Evan frowned and asked, "Then what should we do?"

"Yes."

"Coach, what should we do now?"

Patrick, Andy, and Ronald also asked.

Mason Carr waved his hand to signal them to be quiet, then spread out the tactical board, while drawing, he said: "DDM tactics are not a panacea, it mainly relies on outside players to break through layups, mid-range jumpers and three-pointers. If outside players Without these scoring means, or the scoring efficiency is too low, the DDM tactics will collapse. Their space is too wide. Except for the center, almost all other players are on the periphery. Once they fail to score, then they will also Can't grab a rebound."

"That is to say, as long as we can limit their peripheral players to score, then we can have many opportunities to counterattack. This is the way to break DDM tactics."

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Meng Yun suddenly thought of a question and asked, "But coach, how do we do this? The opponent's outside scoring ability is not weak."

The others also reacted, and Qi Qi looked at Mason Carr.

The perimeter of the University of Kentucky is not weak. The Harrison brothers, as well as Devin Booker, including Stein at the 4th position, Stein's defense is a bit worse, but his scoring ability is better than Cauley-Stein.
