Paul was a little anxious. During this period of time, the Lakers made it clear that he was allowed to play.

If he feels good, then Jeremy Lin's defense will be just like that, and it won't pose much of a threat to him. But what if he doesn't feel good after breaking through? This is a typical example tonight, his long shot feels very good.

Poor, after so many shots, I only hit 2 long-range shots. The rest were scored by killing the basket and free throws.

As for killing the basket, he really experienced the power of Dongfang No. 29 in this series. He didn't feel it in the regular season, but it is completely different when the intensity in the playoffs increases. When he breaks through, his shooting rate is really not high.

At critical moments, the harder it is to fight, because the referee will be more relaxed about physical confrontation. This will actually weaken the weaker side. However, your body is not as good as the opponent. After the professionalization of basketball, it is "

"You deserve it." After all, people's bodies have been trained. Even if they are talented, what can you do? The most important thing is that Paul faintly discovered that he didn't know from which game the Oriental center faced his team's fixed tactical cooperation.

There are always times when things "suddenly turn out right". This also gives him a certain amount of invisible pressure.

So, what should you do if you don't play? Give the ball to Barnes and Jordan? Then the Lakers will laugh to death.

The Lakers' instructions just now were very clear, to help defend Griffin, Ariza and Redick. When the scale of confrontation becomes more and more relaxed, the defensive actions can be larger than usual, which makes the two of them feel a little bit better all of a sudden.

You can't get away. This is the plan of the Lakers, forcing you, Paul, to attack and fight. If you don't fight, you will lose.

The balance also tilted in the scheming dispute between Paul and Tang Qian.

However, before the game is settled, he still has a chance to equalize the situation.

He knows that the further time goes by, the physical fitness of No. 29 will have problems, but now we must ensure that the team can last until then, right? Therefore, we must score and play.

Paul looked at Jeremy Lin who was very tense and concentrated in front of him. He first said "trash talk" to distract him, and then made a continuous crotch dribble. He looked careless on the surface, but in fact he had been looking for

Jeremy Lin's defensive center of gravity moved. Once he found it, it was the beginning of his breakthrough. 1 second, 2 seconds and 3 seconds, Paul finally found it. Jeremy Lin had a gap to adjust his footsteps, and he accurately caught it, and he rushed to the right in one step.

out.

Jeremy Lin followed closely, wanting to create more physical contact, because his body was now worthy of any No. 1 position.

With the increase in tonnage, the once "Lin Xuanfeng" has become a "Qilin Arm", and the dimensions of his arms have long been comparable to any outside. Therefore, in terms of defense, he has also changed from the initial footwork to focusing on body contact.

This is a very smart adjustment, but it is still a little bit worse when facing Chris Paul. Paul's ability is enough to resolve this problem.

A slight tip from the non-ballhandler during dribbling creates a clear breakthrough space for him.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Jeremy Lin increased the pressure on the space. Paul just sneered. Then, when he was not holding the ball, his left hand secretly bent during the breakthrough. His forearm immediately turned into the tip of his elbow to give Jeremy Lin a slap, and then he rushed directly.

After passing the former's defensive circle. Don't think there is anything wrong with this. In playoff confrontations, small moves are inevitable. This is also a kind of court art.

Used well, it can turn a crisis into safety at a critical moment, or even reverse the entire situation.

And again, if the referee didn't blow the whistle, then it was a legitimate action. Unless this was an obvious "referee-controlled game", it would be fine. It's just that Jeremy Lin himself has too little playoff experience and took advantage of Paul.

road.

You still want to compete with me? Practice for a few more years, Lin Crazy.

While secretly mocking Jeremy Lin, Paul suddenly found a person standing on his breakthrough line? This person was...

Oops, I can't stop, this ball...

Paul bumped directly into Tang Qian, and both fell to the ground. The referee blew the whistle and gave the Clippers a hit with the ball.

At this time, the Clippers' home commentator was not happy. He beeped a few times, seeming to complain that the referee was unfair. This ball should clearly be a blocking foul by the Lakers. But he only beeped for a few seconds.

Zhong immediately shut up, and the fans in the audience who were just about to be incited also stopped. The reason is not difficult to guess. The big screen above the head replayed the penalty. It can be clearly seen on the big screen in slow motion.

I saw that Tang Qian first stood in his position without any movement, and then Paul dribbled and hit him.

Therefore, unless the ball is within the reasonable collision area, it is definitely a foul. A foul on the offensive team's part.

So everyone kept their mouths shut.

Paul was a little dazed and said: Why is he there?

Could it be that he saw that I wanted to take this breakthrough route? No, no? How is that possible?

This is a breakthrough method and route that I have recently started to use more frequently.

Hey, don't tell me, it was because you used it more during this period that Tang Qian judged it, and Kobe and Tang Qian analyzed it in the video. Unexpectedly, he stood up and said

Block, you really made the right decision. Very good. Keep going, do it a few more times, if you don’t believe he won’t mess up.

The Lakers missed the attack, but Paul scored a three-pointer on the next goal. This goal was very difficult and there was no way to score it. The Clippers caught up with the score again and led by 1 point. But the situation did not change because of Paul.

This ball changed, but this was Paul's last score in the past few minutes. Continuous offensive strikes gave the Lakers a good opportunity. Ariza broke through first and caused a defensive foul. He made 2 of 2 free throws and went ahead by 1

Then Butler scored a 3-pointer, which was a rare highlight tonight. 4 points. Paul passed the ball OK, but during the second pass, Jordan's pass was touched by Tang Qian.

When the ball arrived, the basketball deviated from its original direction. Jeremy Lin made a contribution with this ball. He relied on his body, which was dozens of pounds heavier than Paul, to gain the upper hand in the confrontation, stabilize his center of gravity, and get the ball on the floor first.

Although his statistics were still not good tonight, this occasional outstanding performance was not considered without any achievements.

There is no shortage of Orientals in terms of playing attitude. It is not easy to survive in this league. No matter what outsiders say, they are also some of the best players among the yellow-skinned players. Tang Qian is naturally one of the "yellow heretics" in this league.

.

But Butler didn't hit the ball, and Barnes' fierce defense put tremendous pressure on him.

Of course, it may be that it was too easy to play certain first-point positions in the last game, so Butler hasn't gotten used to it yet.

"Rebound! Protect it!" Paul shouted loudly from the outside. He is only 183cm tall. Basically, he just grabs low rebounds to see how many people are there. Whether he can get in or not, it is of no use, so at this time

, we can only pray and place our hopes on others. Griffin and Jordan are indeed very good at blocking the ball. Both of them averaged about 13+ rebounds per game in the playoffs this year. The combination is

Being able to get so much together shows that they have control over rebounding in the playoffs this season. The Spurs were ultimately eliminated because they failed to protect low-post rebounds. This factor is very important.

Tang Qian can't say that he can easily win offensive rebounds by himself. After all, offensive rebounds are several times more difficult to grab than defensive rebounds. These two are not weak players in this year's playoffs. To put it simply, they are not only

Not weak, but very strong. The two of them ranked in the top three in rebounding average in the playoffs this season. Except for Howard who is better than them, the others are not as good as them.

The top three players in rebounding average in the playoffs are on the same team? This is also a relatively rare thing.

Therefore, it is difficult for Tang Qian to grab the rebound. The position is basically blocked by the two of them. The advantage of defensive rebounding cannot be underestimated. They can get into position in advance and turn around earlier to seize the golden rebounding triangle under the basket.

Tang Qian's shot seemed to have no chance. Meteor Shower on Tianchao Sports Channel said that the Lakers should speed up their defense to avoid being counterattacked by the Clippers to steal points.

Including D'Antoni, he thinks the same way, but as a star, at critical moments, he should do something impressive. This kind of wonderful ball is one of the best ways to increase fans. Besides, this is

The playoffs are the stage for stars. If there is no chance, there is nothing we can do. Of course Tang Qian will not let it go if he has the chance.

With this ball, it seemed that Jordan and Griffin had prepared a double-blocking strategy. However, Tang Qian, who was still brave and skilled in art, saw a flaw. That is, they did not have a wide enough range for the blocking position behind them.

, this gives me...

Tianchao Sports Channel.

"The Lakers should be retreating on this ball... huh? Tang Qian didn't retreat. Instead, he moved forward. Is he trying to grab a rebound? Director Zhang?"

"Uh, this ball, I think..." Weiping Don Bryant was still thinking, when he saw the purple and gold No. 29 jumping up. Yes, he had no position and no time to go.

He squeezed in from the reverse position. However, he was the first to jump for this ball. He jumped earlier than Jordan and Griffin. Both Jordan and Griffin were a little confused as to why. This ball

From their point of view, it's a completely meaningless scramble. And if you jump so early, can you catch the ball? It's impossible, okay?

This mistake must be taken advantage of, Paul thought, and the Lakers will use a defensive counterattack to narrow the score difference.

Unfortunately, his plan failed.

Yes, Jordan and Griffin's ideas are not wrong. If the ball jumps so early from this position, it is impossible for Tang Qian to catch the rebound. But... who told you that he was going to catch it. Rodman

One of his special skills, flying the basketball backboard, is the trick Tang Qian is using now. He has no chance to catch this ball, but what if he just touches it and flies the basketball again? Well, then he might have a chance.

"Tang Qian jumped up, he flicked the rebound away, and the basketball flew into the sky again."

Yes, the interpretation of the meteor shower is correct. Tang Qian just put the ball up in the sky again, allowing Jordan and Griffin to grab an empty space. The latter's rebounding rhythm was disrupted by Tang Qian's move. However, I think

To get this ball, it's still not enough. You need to do it again.

"Tang Qian, Tang Qian missed the ball again, and Jordan and Griffin once again took advantage of it. Oh my god, what is he doing?"

Meteor Shower still watched the ball for too short a time, and the "reasonable old man" reacted instantly in his heart. This is... "Flower Bug" Rodman's famous stunt, flying rebounds. It is specially used when there is no position.

Or it's a special rebounding method used when one opponent is against many. Zhang Weiping has been watching football for a long time. He stayed in Chicago the longest in the United States at that time, so he watched the Bulls games live.

The one who won the most. Apart from Rodman, few people could play this skill smoothly.

At most, it's just an occasional flash of inspiration. It's impossible to be like him and it happens in almost every game.

What Zhang Weiping remembers most is that once at the Bulls' home court, Rodman robbed five people by himself.

Yes, Nima read it right, and I made it right. He grabbed five offensive rebounds by himself, and finally grabbed the ball. Rodman used this trick at that time. Flying rebounds,

Point the rebound from a disadvantageous position to a favorable position on your side. When he saw this move, his mind went blank for a long time because he really didn't expect that someone could grab the rebound like this.

Chamberlain and the others didn't know this skill back then. Chamberlain and Russell were just too physically gifted and had too high a ceiling. They were unmatched in terms of rebounding. What about Rodman? He was only 201cm tall, weighed very little, and was a very good rebounder in the league.

Generally speaking, how did he break the limit and monopolize the rebounding title for 7 years in the 1990s when inside talents emerged in large numbers? Desire and hard training are on the one hand, and his unique skills also exist.

There are animated pictures of Xiao Zi. If you want to see them, you can join the group to watch~)

Zhang Weiping wanted to introduce this skill to China back then, but found that no one could learn it. In the end, he had to give up.

Unexpectedly, Tang Qian actually used it, and it was in the playoffs.

Tang Qian had used this trick before, but to be honest, he relied on his physical talent and ability to do it, but it was different now. After his rebounding ability reached this level, he felt that he could practice this stunt.

In fact, he hasn't practiced this very well recently. Since Rodman's "treatment" was completed three times, he can't get through the phone. If he calls for a long time, no one will answer or the phone will be turned off. And at the beginning, it was still there.

His attitude during the "treatment period" was completely different. At that time, he dared not answer Tang Qian's call? It was better now, this "flower bug" was really unreliable!

Tang Qian complained like this, but he didn't know that if he hadn't helped Rodman, Rodman wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to him.

Even if it is ordinary help, I guess this "big flower insect" will not take it seriously. Therefore, he should be satisfied. Have you looked at the "rebound improvement class" offered by Rodman during the summer vacation? Many people have gone in and claimed that

It's "cheating money", and there is nothing substantial taught at all. He just makes a living every day. From this, we can see how lucky Tang Qian is.

Without this guy's guidance, his rebounding would never have improved so quickly.

So he is learning and understanding this trick on his own. After all, he has now reached the realm of the "God of Backboards". Even if Rodman doesn't teach him many things, he can figure them out on his own, and then continue to dig deeper until he masters them.

.

Tang Qian has never been lacking in learning ability.
