Chapter 1099 The thigh wave and the danger that still exists
The Lakers also played poorly at the beginning of the second game. Although Jeremy Lin used a lot of pick-and-rolls to run the system a little more comfortably, it was still not enough when facing Paul and the Clippers. Because excessive pick-and-rolls will cause many problems.
The problem is, first of all, not every pick-and-roll will be successful. Secondly, if you succeed in the pick-and-roll, if the opponent is a defensive master, he may break your pick-and-roll. Thirdly, after the pick-and-roll, there is a possibility of being double-teamed by the opponent. Not to mention that excessive pick-and-roll will still cause damage.
It is easy for the team's system to become mechanized, the overall routine to be fixed, and the tactical movement to be rigid. Even if they are as strong as the "Utah twins" Stockton and Karl Malone, they don't always play pick-and-roll.
, it’s just that they use it more frequently and it’s more reasonable.
Anyone who really does everything in pick-and-rolls is definitely a fool.
And Paul is very good at defending pick-and-rolls. He has mastered the four major methods of breaking pick-and-rolls: grabbing, penetrating, bypassing, and switching. Otherwise, do you really think that his years of mastery of first defense is a joke? He is only 183cm tall.
Ah. With this height, even if he is placed in the No. 1 position, he is still short, right?
So although the Lakers have done a lot of high pick-and-rolls, the effect is not without effect, it just doesn't achieve the effect that D'Antoni wants. Of course, in addition to Paul's problems, Jeremy Lin's own problems are also very serious.
Important. What is the problem? One problem is that he is not strong enough. If he had the ability of peak Nash, he could still have a great effect. You must know that the same method is used on different people, and the results are completely different.
of.
It's a pity for Jeremy Lin. The upper limit of his strength is there. He has actually played his strongest season this season, but when he bumps into Paul, everything will return to the original point. Especially in the playoffs, Paul made him miserable.
In the first quarter, the Lakers worked hard to score 27 points. The opponent scored 24 points without adding any touch, and was only 3 points behind the Lakers. In the second quarter, Tang Qian was not there, and the Clippers
A storm of inside attacks suddenly set off. With Chris Paul as the core leader, the "Lob City" kept exploding at the Staples Center.
Thackeray was almost stunned. His height was pretty good and his tonnage was solid, but... his athletic ability and agility were too poor. Under such circumstances, he was really overwhelmed and caught off guard.
It feels like. In these 6 to 7 minutes, including the last 2 minutes of the first quarter, he has been caught in the air by the Clippers 4 to 5 times. Without Tang Qian, the Los Angeles Lakers have gone from being the strongest team in the league to
The inside defense has hit rock bottom, and Yi Jianlian can't do much on the defensive end, because compared to these people, he is the real "younger brother in the playoffs". He has many unspoken rules for intensity in the playoffs.
I'm still adapting. It's not obvious when playing against the Rockets. That's because the Lakers suppress their opponents as a whole. The 4-0 sweep is the biggest manifestation. But when playing against the Los Angeles Clippers, this is not the case. They lost first.
After one game, the entire Lakers team is now feeling the pressure. To put it simply, it is no longer a tailwind game but a headwind game. Yi Jianlian was fine in the tailwind game, but he immediately felt a huge pressure in the headwind game.
Not adaptable. He still needs some time to adjust and adapt.
There is no other way. Tang Qian can only play early, otherwise, the game will be wasted. I have to admit that everyone on the Lakers team is too optimistic about sweeping the first round. They saw the Clippers play a tiebreaker in the first round.
, so there was unspeakable contempt in my heart. Even Tang Qian was not mentally prepared.
I didn't expect the Clippers to be so difficult to beat.
I didn't expect that the Clippers would contain the Los Angeles Lakers' "Purple and Gold Storm" from the source.
Jeremy Lin is relatively frustrated, but Paul's defense is not that strong. He has no choice but to talk big. Even if he encounters the first seeded team in the league this year and faces Stephen Curry, he will not feel so uncomfortable.
. Because Curry’s defense is just a little bit worse than Paul’s.
The difference is not that big.
So this round, the Lakers as a whole paid a huge price for their lack of preparation.
Jeremy Lin really wants to work hard to play well and adjust, but unless he enters the "Linsanity" state, otherwise, his strength is not enough to face Chris Paul, it is not enough. There is nothing to belittle him, it is
Any point guard who is injured by Chris Paul will be put to a huge test. The integration of offense and defense for many years is not fake. It is not something that just any star player can do. Jeremy Lin’s level, and his
, a bit far behind.
If the current controller of this team was peak Nash, he would definitely not be in this situation, but unfortunately not.
As for D'Antoni's system, once the No. 1 position is restricted, the entire system will be restricted, and the team's strength will decline greatly.
Who told him that this system is all about the ability to occupy the No. 1 position? If the ball handler is not good, the system will not be good.
Tang Qian came on the field early and attacked, and the effect was good, but it could not turn the situation around. Paul is truly a master at the No. 1 position. His control over the team and his ability to find flaws in the enemy are history.
Top. With him, the Clippers rarely fall into disadvantageous attacks. In one-on-one situations, he will also use his vision and passing ability to pass the ball to the teammate with the most advantageous position, thereby maximizing the
To improve the success rate of attack.
Therefore, in his opinion, the Lakers, a team that relies entirely on individual defensive capabilities, has many problems and is not a strong defensive team at all. It is not obvious in the regular season. In the playoffs, the intensity changes with the scale.
Changes, the Lakers' defense can be played by him. This is also the role of a truly powerful number one position. He can control the team, and at the same time, he can also gain insight into the defense. You can't see many opportunities, but it doesn't mean they can't.
I can’t tell that for a powerful No. 1 position, the brain is sometimes more important than the body. For example, at this time, the Lakers always missed people and were easily cut by the Clippers, but you
To say that the Lakers didn't defend seriously? That's not right, that is, they couldn't defend.
Paul is not that kind of offensive star. He does not need to take action himself. He can rely on the strength of the entire team to break the game and tear apart the enemy's defense. The Rockets do not have such a person, or rather they do, but now
It hasn't been stimulated yet. But the Clippers have. This will be a huge test for the Lakers' defense.
Including Tang Qian, everyone was a little confused by the opponent, because no matter how strong you are, you are only one person, and they are using the whole team to attack you. What can you do? Once you are slightly distracted and attract a little attention, then it is an opportunity to defeat you.
Reese Paul will definitely not be wasted. In this aspect, the gap between Jeremy Lin and him is revealed. In terms of seeing through the opponent's loopholes and then commanding the whole team to break the game, Paul and him are like the difference between the stars and the moon.
All of a sudden, the Clippers are playing better and smoother, while the Lakers are becoming more stagnant.
We can't play like this, we have to make some changes. Obviously, Jeremy Lin, basically don't have too much hope in this series. It's not easy for him to persist under Paul's high-pressure defense. So, it's my turn.
.
Tang Qian also did the same, but Jordan is not a vegetarian. He was in good condition tonight and had a determined attitude, which made the former feel a little uncomfortable during the fight. After all, he is the first defensive player of the season in the original time and space. It is really not a boast.
His defensive ability is not very strong. If Tang Qian hits him, his hit rate will also drop significantly.
Therefore, his shooting percentage was average, and it was even more difficult for the Lakers to catch up. At the end of the half, the Los Angeles Clippers actually led into the second half with an unexpected score. The Lakers had 47 points, and the Clippers had 59 points.
In other words, in the second quarter, the Los Angeles Clippers scored a total of 35 points. Although this is not as exaggerated as 40+ in a single quarter, it is absolutely efficient and absolutely eye-catching. What about the same Lakers? They only scored 20 points in the second quarter.
When I entered my account, I suddenly lost 15 points.
In the locker room, the Lakers were a little dull. It seemed that the sweep of the first round was still in front of them, and they were suddenly beaten like this. They were still a little too naive and naive about the playoffs. As a ball player,
The team boss, Tang Qian, stood up and proposed changing the overall style of play, but he did not get D'Antoni's approval, because D'Antoni believed that the reason why the Lakers scored less in the second quarter was not because of system problems, but because of poor outside touch.
As long as the outside line adjusts in the second half, everything will be fine.
D'Antoni has his own considerations. He believes that a sudden change in play style is unrealistic and would make it easier to defeat.
During the halftime break, China Sports Channel also conducted an analysis. They all believed that the Lakers were in trouble. The Clippers brutally suppressed the starting points of the Lakers' system, and the Lakers devoted too much energy to helping Jeremy Lin.
Breaking the situation, this is actually a relatively vicious cycle. But what is the solution? No one can tell. If they could tell, they would not sit here talking about the game. They would have gone to the NBA to find a "official position".
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Lakers' feeling was indeed smooth for a while, but there was a problem that D'Antoni ignored. That is, your Lakers' feeling is good, no problem, but if the Clippers' feeling is also good,
Woolen cloth?
What is the result that is good for both sides? It is that the scene is extremely lively, but the score difference has not changed substantially. At this point, D'Antoni miscalculated. The Lakers did not have a defensive system, and they encountered Paul and suffered a big loss.
.D'Antoni's offensive system is also very powerful, but unfortunately, the level of the controller is also a bit lower. If there is a strong open position, the situation will be completely different.
For example, if D'Antoni's team is Paul, who is both offensive and defensive, then the Lakers will play like this and can definitely compete with any team. There is no doubt at all. But Jeremy Lin's ability shortcomings have become a problem in this series.
The situation was greatly magnified during the game. It even caused the Lakers to fall into the crisis of losing two consecutive games at home.
We can't continue like this. Seeing that more than half of the third quarter, the Lakers are still behind by about 10 points, Tang Qian is a little anxious. He wants to attack with the ball by himself, but the effect is really not obvious enough. In the playoffs,
Under the standard, Jordan's defense is very good, which makes Tang Qian's offense hit rate not too high, even a little low. Therefore, this game seems to be the Clippers seeing hope. They will take a breath.
In the first two games, the series lead became 2-0.
At this time, Chris Bosh stood up. He continuously pulled out and hit 3-pointers from outside the three-point line. This made Griffin of the Clippers very uncomfortable. He did not like to run outside the three-point line.
Defense, and his defensive attitude and concentration are not enough. This is why he has such good physical fitness and such a strong physique, but his blocking and defense are not very good. It can only be said to be above the league level. Fast.
In the team's games, he is often distracted on the defensive end.
If it weren't for DeAndre Jordan and his defense, the problem would be further amplified.
Coupled with Butler's continuous defensive success, the Lakers played several rare defensive counterattacks, and the score difference was only at the last moment when the Lakers chased them. In this game, both sides fought until the last moment, not until the last second.
, it is impossible to tell who will win in the end. At this juncture, the shooting percentages of both sides have begun to decline, the defensive concentration has increased, and the scale of confrontation has become more relaxed. At the moment, it is the players or the stars who decide the game.
time.
At this time, if the Lakers still have No. 24, it won't be a problem at all, and they have a great chance of winning.
Unfortunately, now, there is not enough chance of winning. Tang Qian also came on the field too early and had insufficient rest time. As a result, his physical fitness has declined seriously, and his overall efficiency has also been rapidly weakened. At this time, fortunately, someone stepped forward. He just won the
As for Chris Bosh, who is on the first team of the All-NBA Team. He really played a "thigh" role tonight. At the last moment, he made 3 of 4 shots, 2 three-pointers and 1 2-pointer. He used a super high
The shooting percentage scored 8 points, helping the Los Angeles Lakers win by 3 points, defeating the Los Angeles Clippers with a total score of 101-99, 2 points, and successfully won the victory at home.
In this game, Bosh also put a lot of thought into proving himself. He wanted the outside world to be convinced of him. So, there was such a sudden strong performance. This one-point explosion, let alone
Rivers, the head coach of the Clippers, didn't expect it, and even Mike D'Antoni of the Lakers was just as happy.
If Bosh hadn't scored 36 points tonight, the Lakers would have been doomed in this game.
Bosh tonight is undoubtedly a true giant.
At the post-match press conference, everyone expressed their appreciation for Bosh, which made Bosh look very happy and happy.
However, Bosh broke out once, can you still expect him to break out every game?
In the next game, Bosh can't explode, so what should we do?
While Tang Qian was enjoying the victory in the game, he couldn't help but fall into a certain degree of thinking.
How to successfully break through this series?
It seems that it is not easy to handle.
PS: I have had double and bigger chapters for the past two days in a row. I have a day off tonight and will continue with double and bigger chapters tomorrow~
It will break out tomorrow~~~~~~~~ Let’s fight together~~~~~~~~~
