The general idea is exactly that.

As we know, fast pacing tactics tire your players faster
Thats is just a guess, and i never saw any BB mentioning something like that, or any prove about it. Even if its true, improving the stamina is not that hard isnt?

Check out this game: (27553503)
I played against team that plays almost all games FCP.. I didnt choosed fast or slow, i took standart BO.
Well i can say his pressing didn't worked very well he got more TO than me.. i had much better ratings at offensive flow, so i guess thats why i got good game.

PS. But something is very wierd still he got 17 blocks in game.. thats hight i think..

I have built an all around passing team, and i say that i prefer motion over RnG 99/100 times. I am using that route for the last 2 seasons. Result? 2 cups and 1 'ship, and the 2nd one is just a matter of time to come.


It's easy playing Motion when noone in your league knows how to play against it (hint hint: 1-3-1 absolutely kills it, that's why I prefer R&G or Push the ball)

Well no. 1-3-1 zone is the 2nd worse D on the game after FCP in my eyes. In that case my big men who have good JS will get lots of shots, rebounds, and lots of fouls. I can understand the 3-2 zone, but 1-3-1 is a desperation move on a try to steal a game.

I agree. 1-3-1 should only be used when the opponent's rebounding is horrible because otherwise they'll steal many offensive rebounds and score more points from that.

the only case in which 1-3-1 zone would be effective (or at least not destructive) is against RnG. 3-2 zone is most suitable against Motion or if you have a really very strong defense, Man to Man is recommended in almost all cases.

I'm not saying you should play 1-3-1 if you have a C with low rebounding skill. Maybe 1-3-1 works against Motion in lower leagues like mine, where C and PF don't have good secondary skills and/or jumpshot. But every time I played 1-3-1 against Motion, I won even much stronger teams than mine. Motion is a series of passing until you find your best shot; so a lot of them are quality shots and some of them are atrocious ones. I think 1-3-1 presses your opponent so much that he makes a lot more "atrocious" shots that he would normally.

Since RnG is not about finding that best shot like Motion is, but rather having the majority of shots be at least decent, I'd rather play 3-2 against RnG. Problem with 1-3-1 against RnG is also RnG players make so many shots that even if your defense prevents most of them, there are still a lot of chances for offensive rebound, which is not the case with Motion as there are less shots taken.

If you want to play motion you need good offensive flow (passing), and good jump shooters on every position. A good example is my cup finals, against the 2nd best team in CBBA (someone can argue that is the 3rd, but again very strong league team for Cyprus), using motion my PF killed his PF, with very good %. We got also almost the same rebounding rating. The same happened on our league game: (27349736) and this: (27349616), If you also go on last season the results are similar. So a zone, especially 1-3-1 zone could have huge effect on those games, plus the lack of the OD that most big men have could put them easily on early foul troubles. You can see that with my C who doesnt have OD all, and see how much is fouling against good JS big man.

Also one very good reason that i am using motion offense instead R&G, is exactly that is giving lots of JS on the big men.

So the reason that 1-3-1 works against motion is more about the bad execution from your opponents than the D.

I guess he has really bad OD, but on his 1st year he really killed me: (22678718), but now looks like Sciamenna is 2 much for him to handle :)

Hi,

my rival will play against me FCP and run and gun. Hims players faster tire becouse its very FAST tactis. So, if i set patient and pressing, my players must force on my rival players get tired more quickly. However, if my players will tire (becouse they defence FCP), they will be rested in offensive tactic - patient. Will this works?

Sorry for my english, im polish.

Regards, szybki
