Hill replied: "This kind of tactical adaptation is something we rarely managed to execute before, it's a huge improvement. Although Jack is the key to the adaptation, without your strategic insight, Brad, it would be difficult to execute. It's a great start for the progress of our system."
Zhang Yang: "I think so too. I heard Randy say that these tactical adaptations were something Rick had thought of when designing the system, but we couldn't execute them before.
Like tonight, Raymond's high cut and pass is an adaptation within the Princeton system, requiring a long-range shooter with enough threat like Peja, or a forward with Webber's mid-shot and attack-the-basket abilities. The timing of passing from the strategic point, the judgment of positioning for screens, and the point guard's ability to attack the basket with the ball must all be significant enough."
