Denver Nuggets flex offense, Jokic revitalizes team attack

In recent years, the Denver Nuggets have become a Western Conference champion under Jokic and have won the championship for 23 years.

Jokic is the absolute core of this Nuggets, and the duo of Jokic and Murray is the tactical starting point.

This Nuggets team has rich offensive tactics and fully absorbs European styles of play, and flex offense is one of their core tactics.

What is a flex offense?

Flex attack is a tactical system derived from flex cut, that is, a system that obtains offensive opportunities through a large number of cross cuts and horizontal and vertical covers.

This system relies on the team and does not rely on stars. Anyone has a good scoring opportunity; the running position is relatively simple, the mode is easy to remember, there are many offensive choices, and the ending mode is rich, which is especially suitable for breaking people and staring at people.

This is a basketball offensive strategy invented by Rene Herrerias during his coaching at UC Berkeley in 1967; Reuben Magnano used this system to lead Argentina to win the 04 Athens Olympic gold medal.

flex cut initial definition refers to the player using screens to make horizontal empty cuts along the bottom line. With the development of NBA tactics, oblique empty cuts are also included in flex cuts.

Magnano pointed out the key points of a flexibly attack, and appropriately used basic techniques, including one-on-one, passing, shooting, and facing and back-to-back basketball techniques.

2. When breaking the attack, players at any position need to have the essential skill of moving without the ball.

3. When using basic techniques, you must grasp the reasonable spacing and pay attention to the choice of timing.

4. Be able to play roles in multiple positions.

5. Take an opportunity to act according to the response of the defender: understand the defense and take corresponding actions.

6. Cover for the coverer - because, covering a teammate who has just finished covering usually gives you a good chance of space.

7. Emphasizes that there are two types of cover for outside players, namely vertical cover and rear cover.

8. Play more and less on one side of the court.

In his philosophy, when changing offense and defense, we must first seize the opportunity to push a fast attack.

When the fast attack is not good and the positional warfare is turned into, the bend offensive tactics are implemented. The basic idea of

The basic idea of shaking offensive is as follows:

The Denver Nuggets have the conditions to shaking offensive.

Since Jommu formed the team, the Nuggets have been equipped with a large number of players with no ball movement ability. The two team leaders Jokic and Murray have experts in unball combination (even if they play with the core ball like Westbrook, they are forced to practice empty cuts when they arrive).

This is a necessary condition for breaking the attack.

The Denver Nuggets play relatively slowly, but Jokic's long pass helps the team to get off the fast break is an important system.

The following picture shows a typical Yomu line fast attack.

When the conversion cannot be implemented, the Nuggets will enter the positional battle, and at this time the twisted attack is a good choice.

The following is the basic twisted attack:

Jokic dribbled into the inside, and at the same time, Braun used Jeff Green's cover to make a flex cut into the slam dunk.

When the team has Gordon, the ghostly monster, it is even more difficult to defend against.

When the opponent's eyes are all focused on the strong side Jokic, Gordon's chance comes, and he often catches his opponent off guard with a flex cut.

Of course, Jokic has the ability to combine the ball without the ball. He can not only play the axle, but also play the score without the ball.

Murray and Jokic's duo are the team's tactics, making the team's tactics more complicated, and the same is true for the flexibly attack.

The following three pictures, after Murray passed it to Jokic, he made a vertical empty cut (first cut inward and then outward) tore through the defense line, and at the same time helped his teammates cover it. Jokic holds the ball as a shaft.

This method can score by yourself and help teammates score. The following three pictures represent three scoring scenarios: teammates score, Murray score, Jokic score

The Nuggets' twisted offense allows the offensive team to maximize the player's ability. Of course, players need to improve their ability to combine the ball. Core players like Westbrook also need to take the initiative to change here.
