Tactics

From BBguida

f you have already seen skills of your players and you know their best role, now you have to choose offense and defense tactics. From BB rules: If you don’t set your tactics, your team will likely lose most of your games, even against inferior teams. Choosing your tactics to optimize your team’s performance requires careful thought; much of this ability comes from trying out varying strategies and different player combinations, analyzing the resulting box scores, and talking with more experienced users.

Therre isn’t a better tactic if it is not applied in the proper manner and with the right players. We have to choose the right tactics according to the opponent (player and usual tactics) and according to skills of our players.

Before going into detail, it’s a good idea telling something about tactics. The main characteristics of the tactics are 2, pace and distance shooting/defence. A fast pace increases number of shootings, a slower one, precision.

[edit] OFFENSE

Base Offence: Normal pace, normal distance shooting, use this if you don’t know yet your player.

Push the Ball: Normal distance shooting, fast pace. Your players will be to shoot in less time, increasing possessions. It is recommended to use this tactic only when you are sure to be superior to the defense, having more security to succed in your actions.

Patient: Normal distance shooting, slow pace. This tactic will decrease the possessions, but allow your players to have better accuracy shooting.

Look inside: Short distance shooting, slightly fast pace. Use this tactics if your opponent has bad inside defense. Be sure to have player with good “inside shoot” skill.

Low post: Short distance shooting, slow pace. Like look inside, but slower.

Motion: Normal and long distance shooting, normal pace. Using this tactic you have a lot of 2point and 3 point shoot. Be sure to have good “jump shoot” and “jump range” skills

Run and Gun: Long distance shooting, fast pace. Use against opponent with bad outside defense. Be sure to have good “jump range”

Princeton: Short or Long distance shooting, slow pace. All shooting skills are essential in this tactic.

[edit] DEFENSE

Man to man: Base tactic, use it if you don’t know yet your players.

2-3 Zone: More Inside Defense and rebound, slow pace. Use it against strong inside attack.

3-2 Zone: More outside defense, slow pace. Less rebounding than normal

1-3-1 Zone: More and more outside defense. But bad tactic if you have good rebounding.

Full Court Press: Increase stolen balls, very fast pace. To use this tactic your players must have very good stamina
