After two days of warm-up training, the Cavaliers began to enter the tactical training phase.
The traditional "One Star and Four Shooters" tactic revolves around a core player in the low post.
Olajuwon or Howard, when holding the ball in the low post, would draw a double team and then pass the ball out to the perimeter.
This style, primarily relying on posting up, requires relatively less stamina and easily attracts double teams, which in turn creates plenty of opportunities through tactical plays.
Hansen's threat in the low-post back-to-the-basket is also significant. If paired with four shooters, for instance, when Conningham is at the power forward position, they could utilize this method.
However, considering the team's defense, with Thompson as a mobile interior player excellent at help defense, the Cavaliers need him in the starting lineup.
So more often, a more accurate description of the Cavaliers' on-court strategy would be "One Star, Three Shooters, One Cake."
