James + Triangle Offense = GOAT? James previously analyzed: Triangle Offense is not suitable for modern basketball

September 13 News Recently, McGrady said on the show that if James came into contact with the triangle offense when he was young, he would have no suspense to become the best player in history, which has sparked widespread discussion.

It is worth mentioning that this offseason, James happened to talk about triangle offense in his podcast program "Brain of the Field". He said that due to rhythm space and unlimited defense swaps, it is very challenging to play triangle offense again:

"Rhythm and space. The current strategies of unlimited defense swaps by each team make it very challenging to execute triangle offense. Of course, triangle offense is great, that set of Pinch Post's play style, and Gaggle running in the rear, can read and react according to the situation on the field. The cooperation between the two and the cooperation between the three, I think this system is really great. I just think the position on the field is so scattered today, the current three-point shooting ability and shot times, and the space on the field. When they played the triangle offense, everything happened within the three-point line. Bill Cartwright, Luke Longley, and Hores Grant are mixed styles. He will shoot many two-pointers, but no one often makes three-pointers, including Dennis Ronaldo. Deman. So they created a system that fits perfectly with their lineup. But the game has changed so much now that you want to play triangle offense now, it will be challenging because of the style of play and defensive strategies of today's game. You can take away a lot of things through a lot of defense swaps. Of course, this has a lot to do with staffing.

"I think triangle offense works very well in its era, but I don't think it can - you can learn from some of these things, there are still some elements, you will use '21', for example, you throw the ball in advance and then chase it, that's almost an extension of triangle offense. You intercept some elements from it and use it. In the past, Jordan would start from the bottom line and use the "Chicago screen" made by Luke Longley or a center to catch the ball in the middle. If you watch our game, you'll find that some small details from the Triangle offense are still there and teams and players are still taking advantage of them. So it still affects our game, but it is not the case in general. ”
