Yao Ming tapped the ball, Glory began their first offensive play of the match.
After Porter took over the team, Glory's offensive system didn't change much compared to the past.
However, Princeton was used less and less by Glory because this strategy demands high offensive intelligence from the players.
After veterans like Jordan and Ewing retired, Glory's overall offensive intelligence declined significantly; relying on a high point like Ah Gan alone wasn't enough.
Besides, Porter isn't exactly a tactical mastermind, so Glory started building strong defenses and playing passively.
They used UCLA's starting strategy more, establishing the central corridor of Ah Gan and Yao Ming, with two 45-degree angles for Miller and Wallace to play strong post-up moves, and Bell roamed as the shooter, occasionally delivering cold weapon three-pointers.
This system is simple and practical, and once the basics are solid, there's quite a bit of variation, though not much.
