After re-adjusting the overall team status, the overall operation of the team is indeed much better. There is still nothing to say about D'Antoni's offense. If you don't admit it, then you are definitely cheating on him. In the league, it is better than offense.

, there are few people in history who can beat him. This is the basis for him to establish himself in the NBA. So after the Lakers started to play against the Thunder, the situation slowly changed, and there were about 7 games left in the fourth quarter.

At the minute, the Thunder team's problem came.

A series of consecutive mistakes ruined them.

It’s strange to say that the Thunder’s players have been working together for so long. Why is the turnover rate still so high? Are they missing out at critical moments? This is an unsolvable problem. Many teams use this to grind against the Thunder.

In the end, when they make mistakes, they can counterattack and win. Among them, the Spurs are the first to use this trick against the Thunder. The Thunder have suffered this kind of loss many times against the Spurs. Tonight, there is less

Without Durant, they were a little unstable in controlling the court.

This is the difference between Westbrook and the real master of the No. 1 position. His ability to assist and pass is not weak, it can even be said to be very strong, but the responsibility of the No. 1 position is not just this, connecting the team, controlling the scene, and mastering the rhythm.

, offensive and defensive command, this is what a true master of the No. 1 position should do. At the same time, controlling mistakes is also a very important aspect, and the turnover ratio is especially critical.

Especially the turnover ratio at critical moments, this is so important.

If you make a few mistakes at critical moments, the team's morale will be depleted in no time.

At critical moments in this regard, if you check the data, you will know that No. 24 of the Lakers is so abnormal that he had to call it a blow. In the last five and two minutes, No. 24 controlled assists and made mistakes at a abnormal level. What is abnormal? Turnover ratio

4.75! What is the concept? 4 times better than James' 1.2! Nearly 5 times better than Wade's 0.93! How much better than Durant's 0.67? 6.8 times! Better than Westbrook's 0.17... 27.941 times!!!

Do you think this is regular season data? NONONO, this is the playoff conference finals + finals. So you have also seen this data. It is really not that LeBron and James are not strong, but that Kobe’s data is too strong, so strong that it is reversed.

sky.

What? You said that the sample size of the conference finals + finals is too small...Okay, let's take it to the extreme. In the last 2 minutes of the entire playoffs, Kobe Bryant's score difference was within 3 points. This is critical enough, or the entire playoffs.

, the Lakers' No. 24 has this stat as high as 4.2 times. Seriously, for such a reliable person, who would you give the ball to at critical moments?

You wouldn't really think that he was in the top ten in history by forging iron, right?

First of all, he ensured that there were very few passing mistakes.

You say this is because Kobe passes fewer passes at critical moments? Well, then we need to educate and popularize science.

During the entire playoffs, Kobe was 5 points behind in the last 5 minutes officially set by the NBA. His assist data in 48 minutes was much higher than that of Durant, Curry, and Westbrook, and only lower than James. If it were

In the more critical last 2 minutes, with the score difference within 3 points, Kobe's assists were basically the same as James's. If it comes to the finals... I know you want to ask this, very good, very good, don't count 48 minutes, it's too humiliating

Man, the data difference is too big, it looks fake. Just look at the assist data in the last 2 minutes when the team fell behind by 3 points and 36 minutes. But let’s be optimistic, Kobe’s assists were 7.5 in 36 minutes, and James only had 3.7.

This is unscientific. The more crucial games Kobe gets, the more reasonable he becomes. The data tells you that it is true. It is absolutely reasonable.

Looking at it this way, you can see how terrifying Kobe's assist-to-turnover ratio is.

As for Westbrook... everyone has looked at the data, and they don't know how many times he was beaten by Kobe.

Therefore, if the Thunder fails at a critical moment, he has to bear a lot of responsibility.

At critical moments in the playoffs, the assist-to-turnover ratio is more than 20 times worse than Kobe's. Can the Thunder avoid capsizing?

So tonight, it was the same. The Thunder made 4 turnovers at critical moments, and Westbrook accounted for half of them. The Lakers seized the opportunity to counterattack, and went on a 9-0 spurt, destroying the menacing Oklahoma City at home.

The Thunder won the final victory with 4 points, 122-118. The Lakers' team record also improved to 54 wins and 15 losses, and they are still on pace to catch up with the Golden State Warriors, who are first in the Western Conference and first in the league.

.

In this game, Westbrook still scored 30 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists and 4 steals. Of course, his 7 personal turnovers were also quite eye-catching. However, this feeling of "crazy data collection" still made Westbrook win.

After being poisoned, he looked at Tang Qian and hugged him after the game and said: "Next time we meet, he will win 4 pairs." Tang Qian was speechless after hearing this. Damn, you have become a super data controller? But it is true that the data is high.

It's very cool, and Tang Qian himself doesn't deny this. Besides, among the great gods in history, how many of them have bad data? How many of them are not data masters?

Including Tang Qian himself, if he can balance data and victory, he is very willing to ask for data.

Because winning is good, but the data is also good, it’s just a double feeling.

It feels much more satisfying than simply winning, with average statistics.

However, this game also exposed a lot of problems. The Lakers are no longer the dark horse at the beginning of the season. They have been leading the record rankings for so long, and they have been studied and targeted for a long time. For example, you have a lot of goals.

This is something that the team's coaching staff pays careful attention to. If the team's No. 5 position can shoot mid-range shots or even three-pointers, it may be more suitable to play against the Lakers than No. 4 position with this ability.

Their defensive system cannot support such frequent dislocations and defense changes.

This is an absolute breaking point.

Sure enough, in the game on March 25, when facing the Minnesota Timberwolves, something went wrong.

Although their starting center and starting power forward are both people who don't have any baskets, but... there are people on their bench. As the veteran coach of the Timberwolves, Phillip Sanders has played more than 1,200 regular season games.

He still has some discernment. So he knew that under normal circumstances, the Timberwolves would be beaten by the opponent without any ability to fight back, so he simply gave it a go and made a big change. He spent more time using the substitute 5

The team's Justin Hamilton is standing on the court at No. 4, and then paired with Budinger at No. 4 to form a team with one senior and four juniors. Andrew Wiggins + Zach LaVine + Sean Gilpatrick +

The lineup of Chase Budinger + Justin Hamilton played against the Lakers.

There was no gap in the first half. The Lakers were also suppressing the opponent. It was normal to lead 35-25 by 10 points in the first quarter. They lost a little more points in the second quarter. Tang Qian was away for most of this period.

, is also a time when D'Antoni can accept losing points in a wide range. But after Tang Qian came up, he immediately re-established the offensive and defensive advantages of the inside. Our Canadian No. 1 pick is young and has excellent physical fitness, so he has a strong desire to perform.

He had just taken advantage of Tang Qian's absence to perform a 180-degree turn and dunk inside the Lakers' paint, winning huge applause from his home court.

This also made him a little dizzy. Seeing a good opportunity, he broke through the defender Wesley Johnson, so as soon as he rushed in, he pulled up one leg and flew high to the basket for a dunk. This man's physical fitness,

It's really good. During last year's draft, he was praised to a level that was rare in the world. But Tang Qian doesn't think that he will have much future in the past few years. The first is his personality.

It's true that he is not reserved, but at critical moments, he is not willing to stand up at all. This does not mean that he can stand up and shout a few times after the game that he does not have the ball. It is just watching the game. This aspect of his desire is not

Too strong. This is likely to become an obstacle that restricts him from reaching higher heights. Secondly, his emotional intelligence is very problematic. In the future, he did something that was despised by all agents. Before signing, he was temporarily fired.

His own agent. Why? It’s not just because of the US$148 million. He wants the remaining 2-5% of the agent’s commission. It doesn’t seem like much, but in a big contract worth hundreds of millions, that’s the most it can do.

Reaching 7.4 million U.S. dollars. This amount of money is still taken from his after-tax salary. Of course he will feel a little heartbroken. However, if you save money, you will also offend the entire brokerage world. What do you think about future operations?

If you want to do it yourself, then what is nonsense? Besides, at least for now, this guy is still a player with "big thunder but little rain". There is no problem in being a star player, but being a superstar or even a super star is a bit too much.

.

You have no defense, and you have no intention of improving it. As a person with a low offensive ceiling, your defense still contributed negative value per 100 possessions in 2018, -1.49, 443rd in the league, and 90th among small forwards.

No. 83 defense. With such a defensive attitude, there has been no big improvement in several years. Who can blame him? His physical talent is there. With not many shots, he should have enough physical fitness to be responsible for defense.

It was a serious matter. The fact was that he didn't even bother to think about it.

For example, this is the kind of person Tang Qian absolutely does not want to recruit. You must know that in ESPN's "Season Alternative Award", Wiggins was elected as the player with the worst defensive efficiency. Not to mention the advanced analysts.

Wen, a simple statistic, you can calculate it even if you don’t watch basketball at all. When the entire NBA is unguarded, the player’s effective field goal percentage is 56.4%. Hmm, remember this number, and look at our Wiggins

When he is defending, what is his opponent's effective field goal percentage? Well, 56.1%. This means that when he is defending, his opponent is just like shooting in the open.

Just hold it in your mouth, just suck it.

So tonight, his defender scored a lot of points in the first half, which made the head coach of the Timberwolves couldn't help but shake his head in his heart. Your Wiggins' offensive limit is currently limited, and your defense is a super black hole.

, the future trend of the league will still be the combination model of giants. Do you still want to be the boss? It would be better if you are not allowed to be the third player in the team.

You can't even keep the second boss. (Don't think too much, there is no ambiguity, it's just the second boss, hehe.)

Tang Qian jumped up and gave the Canadian champion a solid hot pot, almost slapping him down.

Looking at the staggering Wiggins, Tang Qian ran past him and said, "Sophomores, be polite to seniors."

"And if you just dunk in front of me, your feet will be injured easily."

What makes Tang Qian less optimistic about him the most is his anger. People who don't defend will not become superstars, but if you don't have anger, you will be hopeless. If this ball is replaced by someone else who has anger,

The young man must have gritted his teeth and held his breath to fight back next time to let the opponent know how powerful he was. However, this guy started to rarely enter the inside line, and even started to avoid the inside line a little. In addition, he

The desire to protect rebounds is very weak, and when the offensive end is not strong, the Timberwolves' Flip Saunders doesn't know what else to do on the court.

With your physical fitness, height and wingspan, you average 3+ rebounds per game without even fighting for rebounds. Are you embarrassed?

Any guard should have higher rebounding numbers than this one. Besides, the Timberwolves are not a slow-paced team. Their rebounding is so poor, which is really a waste of their height and physical fitness. It’s just desire, too poor, and they are not worthy of him at all.

talent.

But in the second half, Sanders finally got a chance. If you observe carefully, the Lakers are playing a back-to-back game.

They only beat the Thunder on the 24th, and they came non-stop to beat the Timberwolves on the 25th.

And it’s a continuous away game, so the level of physical fatigue is definitely there.

Tang Qian can use the "Recovery Crystal Brick" to recover his physical strength after sleeping, but others can't. For example, Jeremy Lin, the starting player of the Lakers. He is a bit overwhelmed now, and his recent state is not very good. As a player who averages playing time per game

A man whose career only lasted more than 20 minutes. Suddenly he was asked to average close to 40 minutes per game. The intensity consumption, physical energy consumption, and energy consumption were all huge. He increased the intensity without any transition at all. Jeremy Lin felt that he had a bit of "backache" recently.

Back pain and leg cramps.”

The decline in competitive status is a very intuitive thing.

But D'Antoni's system needs the No. 1 position, so he can't fall down casually, let alone rest casually.

The rest of the players were similar. The back-to-back was somewhat affected. Looking at their physical fitness, they were not at the top level. Therefore, in the second half, the Lakers suddenly felt out of touch with the game. This situation is very common, but it falls to their home team.

It was very depressing. At this time, the Timberwolves counterattacked and showed off their power from the outside. They changed to a full three-point lineup and it had an effect. Tang Qian was substituted because he had to take care of many balls in the paint and did not go out.

Justin Hamilton fired several shots angrily. This guy was drafted by the NBA because of his three-point shooting skills. Although it is inevitable that he will be criticized for his style of play, he will be demoted from the NBA to play in the CBA in the future. This is an example. Obviously the tonnage is not bad.

His height is also pretty good, and it's enough for him to be like this.
