Triangle attack is different from other offensive philosophies in basketball, because the offensive players are more dispersed than normal. There are many options designed to be centered in the attack to get the ball and placed in the low position. Fast passing and cutting into the corner are the characteristics of this attack. In addition, the player is instructed to move to a specific position on the floor and know the position of other teammates on the floor. Usually defenders will choose to cut in and/or they will choose to pass the defensive triangle to the attacker.
Critics of the triangle offense say it is too difficult and time-consuming to learn. However, the Chicago Bulls, led by head coach phil jackson and assisted by assistant coach Winter, won six NBA championships in the 1990s, playing in a triangle offense, and the Lakers won three championships since Jackson and Winter cooperated with the Lakers coach and taught them to attack. NBA superstars like Michael Jordan, Pippen and shaquille o'neal never won an NBA championship before their teams adopted the triangle system.
Personally, triangle offense is the most overrated thing in NBA history. The triangle attack is essentially a tactic of running around the player with the ball and dropping the ball to get a free jump shot. It is the product of American college basketball, and was ridiculed by Jordan and Pippen as "a white man's tactic". As you can imagine, the triangle attack emphasizes that by constantly covering the game where the players who are open can shoot, it will lead to the equal distribution of shooting opportunities for the whole team. This is a tactical system that excludes superstars. At least at the critical moment, the bulls of that year relied on Jordan's personal ability to break the deadlock, not what triangle attack. I never thought Jordan really knew the triangle offense.
On the Lakers side, the triangle offense is even more outrageous. Isaiah Ryder and Richmond are both considered unsuitable for triangle offense, that's all, but it's doubtful if Peyton can't integrate into a tactical system, at least it's plain. The so-called triangle offense needs pitchers most, so Jackson once thought that Allen Houston was the most suitable defender for triangle offense. Three consecutive championships are not a triangle attack, but the absolute dominance of O 'Neill and Kobe Bryant's all-around performance. With the perfect combination of OK, as long as we are United, no tactics matter.
Jackson is a great coach with insight into people's hearts, but he has never been a tactician, so the 80-year-old Venter is still there. I don't think Jackson ever understood the triangle offense. In fact, the triangle attack is a slogan, a statement and a signboard. If you have a super combination like Jordan, Pippen and OK in your team, triangle attack, prismatic attack or hexahedron attack will always be invincible. Freud's triangle attack experiment on bulls is a farce with limited tactical value. Shaq+Wade didn't make any triangle attack, just as fierce. And Shaq is not the same now.
