I agree that you have a shot in this game. I wouldn't recommend playing Full Court Press, unless your players have unbelievable stamina. Otherwise it will tire your players very easily and end up leading to a lot of easy baskets. If you have a look at his stats, he has only hit 4 3-pointers in 4 league games, so I would go with 2-3 zone to counter the "Look Inside" which he seems to use more often and to get a boost in rebounding.

As for offense, you'll know your team's strengths and weaknesses better than anyone of us, but if you want to slow things down I would suggest the Princeton offense. You have a reasonable 3-pt % and good inside players, so it could work. If you can't decide on outside/inside focus go for a neutral stance (Push the Ball or Patient) and let your players make the calls. (Boa Sorte!)

Sorry about the double post, just wanted to say I don't know why someone rated your answer with one basketball, I found it useful. Gave it a 5, hopefuly someone else will do the same to raise it some more :)

Cheers!

er...just for correction. I do not believe there is a TO characteristic for LI when someone is playing FCP and I have not seen any evidence of this hypothesis. Your best bet against someone playing FCP is to play a fast paced tactic like LI/PTB/RNG so your guys have a shoot first mentality rather than a pass the ball and try find the right shot mentality which could result in more turnovers.

Run and Gun is an outside orientated outside tactic. But if your guard's best shot at the time is an inside drive than he will still take it. Player try to take the best shot available for them at the time. You might want to scout your opponent a bit and see what is his most likely tactic for defense and play something to exploit it

Ahah, this is the "good confusion" kind.

Just to be sure: what would you consider a decent amount of stamina to pull a FCP off? Currently, the lineup I fielded for the match has an average of 7 - respectable stamina.Too low?

Obrigado rcvaz, boa sorte na taça também! :)

Well, you do have a bunch of backups. 7 is a bit too low but as long as your reserves play some minutes too it shuld be fine.

Not necessarily. That also depends on your bench and whether you have a good enough backup for that player for your starters to take a rest.
