In NBA history, the organizational styles of Kidd and LeBlanc are probably the most different among those who have helped over ten thousand.
They didn’t mention their similarity, nothing more than those old words:
Broad Vision, accurate passing, excellent rhythm, and so on, praise other excellent organizers.
Both of them are experts in defending the transfer. Although LeBlanc’s theory of comprehensive defending the transfer threat-personal attack and passing-may be the only one in history, Kidd may be a better organizer of defending the transfer:
Running up and pushing back, he could almost approach the magician.
The difference is mainly positional warfare.
It is also related to their playing style.
Kidd’s famous offensive ability was bland. It was said that he had no basket. In fact, his career also had the 1988 three-point goals of the 15th in history, and he also had more than Dirk, Reddick, Durant, Changxi, Kobe and Nash.
-Yes, Kidd has more three-pointer than Nash……
But watching his ball naturally knows:
Kidd’s three points are more than receive the ball fixed-point baskets, so it is better to hold the ball and throw it. What’s killing is not three points — 35 percent of his career — but the hit rate of two points in his career, which is only 40 percent: he has a loss of less investment and more investment, even if the hit rate is still lower.
Needless to say, LeBlanc, the other extreme: History total score king, History level attack basket monster.
Therefore, during half-time attack and defense, in the early years, LeBlanc’s first choice was to find a block and split the ball. After arriving in Miami, there were more weak sides cross-cut the back receive the ball and then find the empty side to cut the teammates, after returning to the Knight, a large number of space arrays were configured. Therefore, after starting arch top, you can directly find downtown teammates or internal teammates. After the Lakers, they started at 45 degrees on one side because they were with heavy eyebrows, there are more team mates looking for internal cutting and cross cutting.
But in general, because of LeBlanc’s breakthrough ability + Vision + long pass, as well as his need for space lineup to clear the space for him, and the need for teammates to cover him for breakthrough, which led to LeBlanc’s attack, priority is given to arch top sudden points.
Therefore, the shooters in his team are like clouds, but most of them are fixed-point shooters, and there are few stacking cover empty cutting tactics like Corwall, Ray Allen, clay and curry, it is not too much to clear one side inside and outside.
After all, the cover Wall is preferred to start a breakthrough for LeBlanc. The key point of the shooter is not to interspersed with the position but to throw the ball from LeBlanc.
When he holds the ball at Arch top instead of breaking through the basket to attract the opponent’s defensive tilt, LeBlanc will give priority to finding the counterball holder who does not occupy the right of the ball and launch receive the ball attacks on the weak side-Wade, Owen, rondo even Reeves of this season — to launch the attack. Of course, he can also directly use his incredible vision to directly transfer the weak side:
But more, after he destroyed the opponent’s defense, he found his teammates in the bottom corner:
One data:
In NBA history, the season with the most 3-point assists in a single season was LeBlanc in 2016-17: 161 rounds.
The first four assists in the bottom corner of this century have the most three seasons. LeBlanc has three exclusive seasons, and the other belongs to harden in the 2014-15 season. Nash in the 2004-05 season ranked fifth: his first MVP season.
What we all know: to assist the bottom corner three points, we need a broad vision, and we need to destroy the defense system of the other side and empty the bottom corner.
This is the typical style of LeBlanc:
During the Battle of the position, arch top, it was cleared, destroyed, and spread greatly. It was necessary to find the bottom corner shooter, find the inner leader, and find the weak side counterattack.
Where’s Kidd?
As mentioned above, Kidd lacks destructive power, so……
16% of LeBlanc’s career assists give three points to the bottom corner, Harden 13%: they are models of space basketball and ball-holding destruction.
Paul 10%, Rondo 9%.
Nash 8% — but in the first season of The Sun, it was as high as 17%.
Kidd career assists bottom point three points accounted for the total assist ratio: 5%.
That is, Kidd basically can’t rely on fengshui ball to move or break through, forcing the other side to empty the bottom corner shooter……
But Kidd has other advantages.
This century’s passing straight to the basket of a single season assists, 2016-17 season Harden most: 481 times.
In the first six best seasons, Nash accounted for three: we all know that Nash’s shield was removed and Stoudemire’s end.
Passing the ball straight to the basket, in addition to the teammates eating cakes, it also tested the vision and reaction of the eyes. For example, yokedge’s underside assists accounted for nearly 50% of the total assists, 678 assists this season, 358 straight to the underside: so everyone thought yokedge’s passing was incredible.
Kidd gave 443 assists to the basket in the 2001-02 season, the fifth of this century.
He did not have a pie feeding object similar to Stoudemire to Nash, nor did he have the flexibility of Nash/Paul in fengshui ball, nor did he have the amazing breakthrough destructive power of LeBlanc and Wade.
It all depends on a moment’s speed.
So Kidd is very good at finding his teammates in the basket in sideline ball or chaos:
If you have noticed Kidd’s position in the ground war, you will find that he likes the length of the freethrow line extension line very much, which is about 60 degrees.
In that position, he can choose to pass the ball to his strong team-mates (Kenyon Martin/Vance Carter/Dirk Nowitzki), you can also choose to make a ball for your weak side-cut teammates (Richard Jefferson/Vincent Carter/Jason Terry).
Compared with LeBlanc and Nash, Kidd prefers to make a big deal in arch top. Kidd likes to do things on one side:
His attack power is not enough to destroy the opponent’s formation, so he expects his opponent to make defensive mistakes: he takes advantage of the strong side threat of his teammates, looks at the opponent’s weak side mistakes, and gives the ball.
In the 2010-11 season, Kidd averaged 8.2 assists 2.2 mistakes, which was very low. But coach Carlisle claimed that the most important data for the defender was not assists, but victory; He also chanted, kidd is the player of the team.
Watching the Dallas game, you will know: in that season, Kidd played few goals in the ground battle. He was the coach on the court. At first glance, he looked like a 3D player.
On the strong side, you can basically find Dirk to play, or arrange the weak side Terry/Barya to cut out; On the weak side, you can basically wait for receive the ball to cast a vacancy, or receive the ball to directly pass.
Therefore, Kidd’s ground warfare command, from standing position to playing style, is more like a pendulum division that allocates resources. Compared with LeBlanc, Nash and Harden, he has less ability to create attacks out of thin air.
Of course, this involves a hidden advantage of Kidd:
Compared with the new generation of ball holders, the common problem of sticking the ball-the one of Trey Yang and Lucca-Kidd is quite non-sticking the ball-probably because he can’t get out of the gap after sticking the ball……
So……
1996-2001, the Sun where Kidd is located, assists the first six of the alliance every year, including the first three times.
In 2001, Kidd left the sun, and the Sun assisted immediately to the 11th alliance.
In the previous season, the 26th net of league assists came the third in Kidd’s first season.
After that, three four five six turns all year round.
After Kidd left the internet in 2008, the next season: the 26th of the Internet assist league.
Next season, assist 30th.
Kidd is not only high in his own assists, but also in his team, the whole team has high assists. He can’t attack, but he is willing to pass and transfer a lot, making it convenient for his teammates to pass.
Therefore, Kenyon Martin and Van Horn all played the peak of their career and even entered the finals. Carter and Jay played the masterpiece of their career around him McPherson, and Dirk could win the championship beside him.
Even when he went to the Knicks, melon got the only scoring king in his career.
So:
You throw a space lineup for Kidd. He can’t sprint to the top like Nash, Harden or LeBlanc.
But if you have a team with good internal and external configurations, he can pinch it up for you:
Relying on the top counterattack in history and the simple but effective transfer of the ball in the battle. He didn’t use the ball right or even the real station guard position:
When Dallas won the championship in 2011, he was a non-stick ball 3D with the command attribute on the court. He shot three points, fought for defense, set the table and let Dirk let go of the attack. By the way, he only assists 8.2 per game.
