2-3 DONT WORK because no one trains SB, trust me. Managers much smarter than I have concluded this, I am just relaying what I know to be true. Try to break out of the prevailing opinion from many many seasons ago, and try to apply it to what other people are doing. This game should and is about competing against your opponents, so in my mind the only thing that is a waste of money is something you dont need to beat your opponents. That said, if you are losing to LI, you need to train to beat that.
Who are them,exactly?
I know people always say well 2-3 sucks compared to 3-2. Think for a second. It is immensely harder to make a 3pt shot than to make a layup, so obviously a 3-2 zone is going to work better in principle than a 2-3 zone. People are so hung up on comparing totally different defenses that are used against totally different offenses as if they need to be equal or something. They dont, they arent, and they wont be.
The game of the Holland manager expalins that with a similar evaluation between attack and defense,his adversary shot 47%,and if we take out 3-pointers that are penalized because of LI(another stupid thing,if you take a 3-pointer with an inside tactic it should be a forced shot because time is running out or a shot with high percentage because your player is SO free that he can easily score,such low percentages from 3 with a LI are unacceptable),they shot more than 50%.That's a lot if you consider that 2-3 should be the best defense available.How much should a LI shot,60%?
I got nothing else to say though. If you want to stop LI, go SB + ID. OD also helps, a lot.
Thank,you,Mr.Obvious.We all know that ID+SB+OD stops LI,but at what cost?What is the salary/performance ratio of those skills?The salary/performance ratio of SB is terrible,comparable only to rebound for guards
