Chapter 1003 The inside line of the knights is overturned
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"The Lakers are now lagging behind by a big score. Yang Yi, what do you think of the games during this period? Is there anything the Lakers need to improve or pay attention to?" Yu Jia turned around and asked while sitting in the live broadcast room.
"The biggest area that needs improvement is the protection of the inside. The Cavaliers have too much impact on any team's inside. The combination of James + Irving is no weaker than the previous James + Wade. The Lakers' combination
At one point, Thackeray was in foul trouble, and Ryan Kelly had no one to support him. His body couldn't withstand the impact of James. Standing under the basket, I didn't feel his height and length at all.
Attribute. But this problem is not troublesome to solve. Again, the best way is to replace No. 29 Tang Qian. You have also seen that during the time when Tang Qian was on the court, the Lakers actually had a lot of trouble with the Cavaliers.
The inside kills were controlled very well, and they were even ahead at one point. It was because of Tang Qian's absence during this period that the Cavaliers took advantage of the situation, and they were beaten like this." Yang Yi said for a long time in one breath: "Look.
It seems that the Cavaliers and James were well prepared for this game. They waited until Tang Qian came off the court and began to attack the paint. Looking at the data and the number of shots they took in the paint and at the basket during this period is enough to explain everything.
.”
"But you can't change it too early. The key is later. Tang Qian's physical fitness will be a big problem by then." Yu Jia seemed to be well aware of Tang Qian's shortcomings and shortcomings, so he expressed concern.
Oriental players seem to have insufficient physical reserves whether in football or basketball. No one has been spared this yet. Therefore, Yu Jia is not surprised at all by Tang Qian's problem.
"But now the Lakers have no choice." Yang Yi said: "They are already so far behind. If they continue, it is very likely that their opponents will break through by more than 20 points in one go. In that case, it will be a huge blow to the team's morale.
The Lakers don't need to push themselves to that point. Besides, at that time, what other key decisive games are there? It's already garbage time."
"Replacement with Tang Qian, this is both a solution and a solution."
"If you want to win, you should change immediately."
Los Angeles, USA, Staples Center.
Seeing that the score difference is getting bigger and bigger, home commentator Bill McDonald also feels anxious, but he can only worry. Now the Lakers' overall morale is low, and he can't solve the problem with just his voice.
There were so many problems. Without the strength of his team's players, he couldn't mobilize the atmosphere and attack his opponents. At this time, he suddenly saw a tall oriental figure in the Lakers who were back on the field. Suddenly, Bill
.MacDonald came and said spiritually:
"The Tyrant is back on stage~Come on~lead us to fight back~Your Majesty~" This sentence shouted by chance became a common commentator at the Staples Center later, and it is also the most well-known commentator of Bill MacDonald.
A sentence. But now, he doesn't know that this sentence will become his mantra in the future.
He just sincerely hopes that the Lakers' No. 29 can turn the tide and lead the team out of this predicament.
It has been exaggerated so much by the outside media. Now no one wants their home team to lose and become a stepping stone for the opponent. The Cavaliers don't want it, and the Lakers, who are facing the enemy at home, don't want it even more. Losing at home will affect the overall morale of the team.
In fact, it is a blow.
Tang Qian looked at his teammates on the court and suddenly raised his voice and said, "Okay, stop looking like this. It's our turn to perform."
"Are you ready? It doesn't matter if you're not, just follow me and go straight up."
There are many celebrities in the stands tonight. In a sense, this game is better than this year's Christmas game. After all, it is rare for a regular season game to involve so many things.
What is full of attractions? This is called full of attractions.
But this kind of words are actually just nice to say. Tang Qian's current qualifications and performance in the league are still not enough. He cannot be like Kobe, Jordan, James Bird, Johnson and others, who can stabilize the team and change the team with just one sentence.
atmosphere. However, can these "great gods" do it from the beginning? Of course not. They also came from rookies. How did they make the transition before? It's very simple. The answer is not complicated, just use a
Game after game, wonderful goals one after another, let yourself have this kind of prestige, let yourself go from ordinary to outstanding.
Therefore, what Tang Qian wants to do now is actually this.
In other words, No. 29 of the Lakers will now start to do his own thing.
Whether it's the defensive end or the offensive end.
He wanted to sweep away his previous restraint.
A wave breaks out.
Now that the overall morale of the Lakers has been suppressed, stars need to step forward to open up the situation. This is the true value of a star. When the Lakers attack, Tang Qian gets stuck in the paint and opens his hands to get the ball. Now let’s talk about the Cavaliers.
The inside man is not the starting center Russian Timofey Mozgov but James' "iron buddy" Tristan Thompson, known as the "Eight Wise King". Of course, speaking of this person, maybe his female companion
A little more famous than him.
What should I say about this guy? The female companions are all hotter than the last, but he himself is quite ordinary.
It’s not to say that he doesn’t have the ability to play in the NBA. In this era, the inside line is declining. His data last season was close to 12+10. As an ordinary starter, there is no problem. But this person’s ceiling is not high, and he deteriorates very quickly.
Yuan Shikong is known as one of the "most premium" contracts. He weighs less than 206,240 pounds and his body fat is getting higher and higher. If this kind of person is not a "direct descendant" of James, how can he sign such a big contract in the future? Really become a Cavaliers
Is the team owner a fool?
Such a person is now occupying the No. 5 position in the Cavaliers, which is really James' style. He does not need to occupy the big center inside, which will hinder his performance. The small and fast inside is what James has always pursued.
.
This is a good thing in an era when all the dominant players in the interior are extinct, including Howard, who is now in extreme decline, and the offensive end has long since lost its peak courage. Otherwise, just a peak Howard can make James' team's insiders complain incessantly.
But this is James' luck. Nowadays, super insiders are basically extinct. More insiders are space players, and their destructive power is actually far less impressive than what the data says. Typical examples are Love, Bosh, etc.
Cousins, such as Anthony Davis, their ability to attack the basket can only be said to be unsatisfactory compared with the previous generation of insider superstars. Therefore, when the league's top insiders are all at this level, using this kind of inside group
Team, of course the disadvantages will not be too big.
Otherwise, if one of the four major centers of the 1990s were to appear, it would make the Cavaliers' interior vomit blood.
But now, Tang Qian is an exception. His appearance gives the Cavaliers' insiders a taste of blood-like sourness.
Tristan Thompson also pushed Tang Qian, but his small body and tonnage were almost negligible in front of the 290-pound Tang Qian. What is the concept of a tonnage difference of more than 50 pounds? Even 10 pounds is obvious.
, 50 pounds? It’s basically a crushing level. Don’t forget that Tang Qian’s weight was gained through professional weight gain. He is not the kind of person who is fat or has high body fat. With his stable bench press of 435 pounds
In terms of strength, if you want to block the former in the blocking position, it is almost the same as opening your mouth while eating.
It looks like Tristan Thompson is pushing hard, but in fact, from the look of the scene, he is pushing back harder and harder.
What does it mean to push back further and further? It means that when he pushed up, his center of gravity was not fixed, so he was pushed back further and further by the Lakers' No. 29, getting stuck deeper and deeper. At this time, the basketball easily fell into Tang Qian's hands, and he turned around
It was just a step forward and a hard attack under the basket. Tristan Thompson didn't even jump because he was pushed away by Tang Qian at once. The feeling was not much more difficult than pushing away a high school student himself.
Scored under the basket.
With 15 points left, James of the Cavaliers passed the ball, and J.R. Smith missed a three-pointer and bounced out of the basket.
Tang's potential at the basket is different from the previous dominance of Sacre and Ryan Kelly. His tall and broad body naturally occupies a large amount of space under the basket. Coupled with his tonnage strength and positioning skills, Thompson
He was stuck again and didn't jump up. He could only watch No. 29 of the Lakers pick off the low rebound.
The Lakers attacked and Meeks made a three-pointer, but the ball was interfered by James's attack. Meeks' shot drifted, and the basketball naturally did not hit the net.
Love is ready to protect this defensive rebound. His rebound protection posture is much better than Thompson. Although he is the first "15+ non-confrontational rebounding leader in the NBA in so many years", his non-confrontational rebounds reached an astonishing 61.3
%" But that's not to say it's all luck. At least he's good at defensive rebounding, but it's just good.
This season, his rebounding has plummeted due to "less non-confrontation" and "less Timberwolves players to help block defense". The "rebound king" that James fans originally hoped for did not appear, but shrank to 10+ rebounds
All are gone, only 9+ rebounds are left. Especially offensive rebounds, this is less than 2 times per game. From the average of 4+ per game in the peak era to the current average of 1+, the gap is extremely large.
Obviously. So Love's rebounding ability is actually pretty good, and can be regarded as the top level in the current league. But historically, before the fiercely competitive 21st century, he will not be the same as he is now.
Such outstanding performance.
What about Tang Qian? I'm afraid I'll scare you if I tell you. He's averaging more than 7 offensive rebounds per game. If he can keep it up, he may even have a chance to beat his special training teacher, "Prophet" Moses Malone, who has maintained that no one can get close to him for so many years.
of rebounds per game before the season.
I'm not going to lie to you, averaging 7+ offensive rebounds per game, almost no one can do that except Russell and Chamberlain.
Isn't it just a matter of minutes to beat Love?
This is almost the same as Love's backcourt rebound average this season, right?
The difficulty of offensive rebounds and backcourt rebounds is at least 3 times greater. Just look at the ratio of offensive rebounds to backcourt rebounds for teams across the league. There is a high probability that there will be no problem. So...
Tang Qian immediately got the offensive rebound from Love's position, then got up from the ground and dunked into the basket with both hands.
Boom~ Just as Love turned around, he saw a 290-pound, 7-foot tall man flying in the sky. Then, he was pushed out by the huge impact. He took three or four steps back without stopping. He was extremely embarrassed.
"Hot~Money~Slam.Dunk~~~~~~~~~" Bill MacDonald shouted loudly.
There was still 13 points left, but the Cavaliers hit a mid-range shot on the next ball, widening the score difference to 15 points again.
But within 10 seconds, their inside line was ravaged again. The Lakers' No. 29 hit Tristan Thompson hard and succeeded, and at the same time caused a foul on the latter's thug. Extra penalty...hit!
There are 12 minutes left, and the game time is 2 minutes and 55 seconds before the end of the first half.
Tang Qian scored 7 points as soon as he started, which allowed the Lakers to curb the overall scoring decline just now.
James of the Cavaliers passed the ball, and Kyrie Irving made a layup. Although Irving is only in his fourth year, his scoring ability has risen to the league's first level, especially his finishing after getting to the basket, and his hand skills are very stable.
He is really a very strong person, but can you easily succeed in the inside line I am guarding like this?
Thinking too much!
The Lakers jumped up on the 29th and blocked Irving's ball. At the same time, he participated in the team's advancement. This athletic ability made Irving a little unbelievable. But James was not that strange. He was eliminated by the team in June last year.
The Oriental center had learned a hard lesson and knew that his opponent was extremely athletic, so he immediately directed the entire team to retreat and get into position.
With James' command, the Cavaliers' defense was not scattered, and they could barely hold back the Lakers' quick counterattack. However, the basketball once again fell into the low post area. Tang Qian opened his hand for the ball again.
Poor Tristan Thompson had no choice but to watch his opponent face the basket and attack into the net after being unable to defend.
He really didn't expect that a person who had been a blue-collar guy and a troubled offensive player in the past few seasons would suddenly become so powerful. Didn't he only average 12.2 points per game last year? How could he improve so quickly?
??
In short, the score difference was only 10 points, which made James of the Cavaliers take the initiative to take a shot. A mid-range three-threat fixed-point shot, brush~, hit, and the Cavaliers regained the 12-point score difference.
Tang Qian once again made a defensive foul on the offensive end, but only made 1 of 2 free throws. Then James of the Cavaliers made another one. The score was 13 points behind.
Seeing that the team was slowly stabilizing the situation, head coach David Blatt slowly sat down. He seemed to think that the Lakers' offensive counterattack was over. But Tang Qian told him that it was not over yet. He attacked
He took the ball and hit the basket, but unfortunately the ball missed. Before Thompson had time to rejoice, a huge force pushed him away from his position, then grabbed the offensive rebound and dunked with both hands under the basket.
J.R. Smith wanted to come over to cover this ball, but Tang Qian didn't seem to see him and continued to hit it with both hands.
BANG~ J.R. Smith landed unsteadily. If he hadn't reacted quickly and put his hands on the floor, he would have fallen flat on his face.
Beep beep ~ The offense is effective, one free throw will be added.
Tang Qian had no intention of helping J.R. Smith up, and turned around and walked to the free throw line.
This scene was criticized by many Virgins and Paladins after the game, but Tang Qian had no "regret" at all, because for him, this thing was unnecessary in the first place, and now that they are opponents, he has no regrets.
It is the duty of the court to help him up. Of course, it is not impossible, but Tang Qian is not in the mood for J.R. Smith.
At the free throw line, the extra free throw was made, and Tang Qian scored another 3 points.
The score difference is 10 points again.
The Cavaliers took a long three-point shot but missed. The Lakers got the defensive rebound and attacked again.
Tang Qian scored again, and Tristan Thompson was extremely depressed. This short few minutes was simply his "embarrassing exclusive time." Apart from the fact that his defense was broken, he had nothing to lose.
A way to restrain the big guy No. 29 of the Lakers. The former has absolute hard power, crushing him and making him unable to say a word.
With only 8 points left, the Cavaliers made a substitution and replaced their starting center with Russian Timofey Mozgov. Originally, Mozgov was expected to have a height of 216cm and a weight of 280+ pounds.
I tried to contain the Lakers' No. 29, but unexpectedly... I was simply overthinking it.
The Cavaliers Love broke through and shot inside, but was interfered by Tang Qian. Bosh got the rebound. The Lakers team made a fast break, but the ball was intercepted by LeBron James during the pass. He followed up with
He drove straight in, took the lead, and performed a standard James tomahawk dunk with one hand.
10 points, 10 points again. The Cavaliers seemed to want to hold on to this double-digit score difference and enter the locker room.
But this is a beautiful thought.
The Lakers missed a three-pointer, and Tang Qian blocked Mozgov again, grabbed the offensive rebound, and then took advantage of the situation. Mozgov and Love on one side pounced on Tang Qian.
The ball was blocked. But it was not over yet. Tang Qian moved quickly and got the basketball before the two people. Without hesitation, he made a second comeback.
This time the two people didn't have a tacit understanding. Love was hit by a thug on defense. He thought the basketball would not go in, but the next second, the orange basketball still hit the board and penetrated into the Cavaliers' net. The referee's whistle sounded.
, it’s a pity that Tang Qian failed to score due to extra penalties.
8 points.
There was one minute left at the end. James wanted to make a tactical air cut, but the effect was not good. The ball almost missed the pass. However, Irving still had quick eyes and quick hands and got the ball. Irving dribbled the ball under his crotch and changed direction to make an emergency stop.
When it comes to shooting, Hinrich is old after all, and he is unable to do this. Both his brain and body are unable to do what he wants.
"Oh, the Cavaliers have too many powerful independent end points. There is really no way...oh????This is...hot???"
During the commentary, Irving was also stunned. He did not expect that the Oriental center would move out so quickly. The scope and speed of this assisting defense were really terrifying. Tang Qian's ball was just a distraction, which made Irving mentally unstable.
Steady, he quickly moved back. This kind of anticipation and defensive interference was none other than Kevin Garnett's specialty when he was at his peak.
This is a very powerful defensive move that requires strong defensive awareness and defensive anticipation as well as physical fitness. It does not seem to have any data recorded, but this is considered a successful defense because it has reached the ultimate level of defense.
Purpose. When Garnett was in the Green Army, he relied on this defensive core ability to turn the Green Army into a terrible green hat. Well, okay, a green iron bucket that is hard to get into even if it drips water.
Both James and Kobe played extremely hard, and it seemed that there were basically no defensive blind spots.
And this kind of defense requires a defensive core with this kind of defensive ability, which even Duncan can't do.
It's not a matter of defensive awareness or anticipation, but Duncan's physical fitness and agility cannot support this.
Tang Qian moved back and immediately overpowered Love to protect the defensive rebound. Even with this ball, he didn't have time to get into an advantageous position to grab the rebound, but the rebound still fell into his huge palm.
Love really felt that this Oriental center was too scary. He almost lost the confidence to fight against him on the rebounding end.
There's no way, the gap is too big, isn't it?
Tang Qian dropped into position and then attacked again. Looking at Timofey Mozgov, who was both tall and tonnage, and listening to James in the distance shouting at the latter to guard the ball, he suddenly laughed in his heart:
Is it possible to guard against me, just you insiders?
impossible.
So I want this ball...
Dunk on you!
Face-to-basket dunk!!!
"The Hot faced Timofey Mozgov moved, and he broke through. Soon, Mozgov couldn't keep up, and the Hot took off, and dunked, dunk!!!!!! BNAG
!!!!!!YES!!!!!!!!!!!!”
After Tang Qian landed, he didn't look at Mozgov. Instead, he turned to look at Cavaliers No. 23 who was about to catch the ball and said: "Only 6 points left."
James said: "Aren't there still 6 points? It won't be this number soon. There are still 24 seconds left in the game, which is enough for us to conduct a complete attack again."
"Yes, I agree." Tang Qian ran past James and said, "It won't be this number soon."
When the Cavaliers attack, James still firmly controls the ball in the top arc. This is his usual style of play. He may not be the final shooting point, but he must be the final starting point. No one can compete with him in this.
Rob.
If you rob him, get out!
The Cavaliers began to use a running screen. Irving saw the opportunity and threw Hinrich away and went straight to the basket. However, Hinrich was easily thrown away by him, but No. 29 under the basket was not.
Irving saw that the opportunity was not good and immediately scored a point. The basketball was in the hands of Love, who was catching up. Love rushed in from the middle and jumped up from the ground with acceleration.
He had a good opportunity and space to jump and dunk this ball.
With sufficient acceleration and take-off, Love's ball also reached a good height. It is difficult to defend under normal circumstances.
Because the impact and speed are very fast, the accuracy of blocking is difficult to control and aim.
But... Love flipped over with a "pop". Not to mention he dunked in, he didn't even touch the edge of the basket with this ball, okay?
No. 29 of the Lakers was ruthless and accurate with one palm, knocking over Love's dunk.
Then he took the ball and threw it to the frontcourt, saying: "Quick break!!! Let's go!!!"
The entire Lakers team rushed over, but in the end Nick Young was so "willful" that he did not choose the safer direct 2-point layup. Instead, he reached outside the three-point line, adjusted slightly, and took off.
A three-pointer in a fast break!
Normally, this ball would be scolded if it missed the mark, but Nick Young had such courage and he just took the shot.
The basketball...with a "swipe" sound, fell into the Cavaliers' net bag.
The first half was basically over, leaving only 1.1 seconds for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
At this time, Tang Qian said to James: "It won't be this score soon, right? I keep my word."
James was stunned for a moment, and his face darkened.
58-61, the Lakers entered the locker room trailing by 3 points.
