Jazz has suffered three consecutive defeats, but they are still one of the best teams in the West.

During the offseason, the team had just sold Mitchell and Gobel, and Ange tore down more than half of the starting lineup last season, everyone thought that the Jazz’s task was very clear-for the sake of wenbanyama.

But Anji didn’t seem to think so (it should be because they had already held a lot of picks in their hands). Then at the press conference, Anji told the big guy that the new coach didn’t think so either.

At the press conference when Will Hardy took office, Ange once said Hardy was the best young coach he had ever seen since Stevens, and Hardy also said in front of the media and Ange:

“I will make good use of all the knowledge I learned in Spurs, Bucks and the Eastern champion Celtics last season to build my own system for this team.”

At that time, we didn’t take this sentence seriously, but obviously, Hardy said it was done.

Looking through the list of jazz players: Conley, Horton Tucker, who can’t sell, Horton Tucker, Sexton, Beasley, Jordan Clarkson, notorious ollinick, vanderbilt and so on who have no ability to attack independently.

It seems that the only one who has received favorable comments is malcanin, who killed the four sides in the European Championship.

But it is these players who have become a sharp sword to kill their opponents.

“I teach students according to their aptitude.” Hardy said in an interview. (Shit, this damn sense of familiarity.)

Looking closely at this list, although these players had many slots last season, they also had many advantages:

Healthy Conley is still the engine of the team. He can take off the line with the weak side. Clarkson and others have a good ball holding and three-point projection on the outside, so malcanin will not say anything, after the European Championship, he has been recognized by everyone.

Therefore, Hardy cut off all the teams and the complicated ground combat attack of former coach Snyder.

He pushed Clarkson, the winner of the best sixth person, into the first line, and then told the first five people:

We have to fight fast! You all stand outside for me!

In this way, Hardy created his own starting lineup for the Jazz team:

Conley + Clarkson + malcanin + Vanderbilt + Olinick

A standard “5-Out” lineup was born.

Later, Hardy took Out a set of opening tactics for the Jazz, which are the simplest and most suitable for 5-Out: Early-Off 3

We observed jazz’s transition, except Vanderbilt, when others pushed the transition, they all fell on the three-point line.

At this time, the bearer found insider pairs. If the opponent didn’t jump out, he directly drew three points and didn’t drop the position for the opponent. Vanderbilt covered dunk point and grabbed the offensive rebound. If he couldn’t get it, it is laid-back but does not affect the stadium space.

For switching attacks, jazz is also the first to seek opportunities for three points:

Conley did not hesitate to take the ball to the bottom line, making the opponent feel that he would turn to the ground for a moment, and then malcanin took a three-point shot.

Both offensive rounds took only 7 seconds.

For Hardy, the advantage of him and even the team lies in mobility and projection. If you don’t make good use of these two points and play positional warfare with your opponents, Jazz will not be able to open the situation sooner or later.

However, not playing often does not mean Hardy can’t play. In order to cope with the key moments of the regular season and when opponents suppress our counterattack speed, Hardy has created a simpler set of things:

Paid Cutter (in short, diagonal null tangent)

No matter whether the team is landing or fighting back, when the player holds the ball on one side and breaks in, the player on the opposite side must have someone to cut out.

Old and simple, but especially effective.

I broke through, my opponent contracted, then I scored the ball, and my teammates put on the basket.

In Hardy’s eyes, he does not pursue complicated arrangement and control. He allows players to show themselves in personal strength. Therefore, the simpler the tactics, the more acceptable the players are, the more freedom the players play, the more comfortable the players play, and the more empty shots on the outside line are based on tactics-jazz’s three-point shots rank fourth in the league this season, empty cut utilization also ranks in the top five in the league.

In addition to these, Hardy also drew various cover tactics for malcanin, the most promising player in the team to impact the All-Star at present, making full use of the offensive ability of this European Championship killer, under the addition of a well-experienced guard like Conley, malcanin’s mobility is reflected. When it comes to relieve a garrison of his opponents, Conley can find malcanin, who has already succeeded, to complete the attack frame on short stature:

As we said just now, Hardy will give full players improvise, so when they meet more experienced opponents in defense after covering, Conley can also hold the ball and find the chance to throw:

Yes, with Hardy’s simple but extremely useful tactics, jazz has become the team that makes everyone shine at the moment this season:

They once ranked first in the West;

They once scored 112 points in three sections against the top five teams in the league;

They also occupied the top five positions in the league offensive and defensive list.

Although jazz has fallen to the third place in the West, compared with the first place in the West, the third place in the West seems to be not as good as the latter. Jazz is still a team that cannot be underestimated in the league.

Looking back, this is another team that Anji has built with all the soldiers, a young coach and a large number of picks, but the location has been changed to Utah.

So will-Hardy become the new Stevens?
