Chapter 1101 In order to win, not be a king and be a Transformer
On May 6, US time, the third game between the Lakers and the Clippers started. This is the home court of the Clippers, but it is still the Staples Center. It just changed the floor. There is nothing substantial.
The change.
In this round of the series, the players on both sides spent almost no physical energy on the journey. Therefore, both sides worked hard to defeat the other and advance to the Western Conference Finals.
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"Viewers, welcome to turn on your TV and watch today's broadcast, the third game of the Western Conference semifinal series between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers. The two teams had previously tied with a big score of 1-1.
"Yu Jia said and asked: "Pang Yi, the Lakers haven't played very smoothly in these games. They don't have the excitement they had against the Rockets before. What do you think the problem is?" "I think it's the problem?"
There are many problems." He pushed up his glasses coquettishly and said: "First of all, look at this place. The Lakers' interior scoring data and interior defense data in the two rounds of games have dropped a lot compared to the Rockets.
cut?"
"Hey, that's true."
"This shows that Tang Qian has fallen into a low ebb in these two games against the Clippers. In the first game of these two games, he had 19 points, 17 rebounds, 4 blocks, and 1 assist. In the second game, he had 15 points, 14 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 1 assist.
assists, to be honest, to be honest, it is actually not bad. If this data were given to others, I would be happy to death, but he is Tang Qian, and this data is not up to standard. The Lakers still need him to contribute more
That's it, otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to win 31 games in a row this season, and they wouldn't have been able to achieve an excellent record of being second in the league and second in the Western Conference without their main generals for a period of time." Yang Yi paused and relaxed.
Xu said: "Anyway, Tang Qian's performance is crucial in this game. If he can perform better, the Lakers will have a greater chance of winning."
"As for Jeremy Lin, there's nothing we can do about it. There's really nothing we can do about it. Either he doesn't play hard, or he's not as strong as Chris Paul. There's no way. The last game also proved that too many pick-and-rolls make the Lakers themselves
The game was very chaotic, and the positioning formation was a mess. So how well Jeremy Lin can play tonight is also a question."
"Do you think the Lakers have a good chance of winning this game?" Yu Jia asked.
"It's really hard to say." Yangyi said again in his Beijing accent: "The role of Paul of the Clippers in this series was too great. He alone suppressed the operation of the Lakers' entire system. This
It’s really something that no one expected before the game.”
"Well, the game is about to start. I hope the Lakers can have good luck tonight."
"Look at the lineup of both sides for tonight's starting lineup. The Clippers still have the lineup of Paul + Redick + Barnes + DeAndre Jordan + Griffin. As for the Lakers, in order, Tang Qian + Bosh + Ariza + Butler
+Jeremy Lin…”
Los Angeles, Staples Center.
"Hot, you were lucky in the last game. This game will definitely not be like this at our home court." Paul spoke harshly to Tang Qian from the beginning, and Tang Qian retorted unceremoniously: "Stapple
Since when has Staples been your home court? Look up and see why you have to cover up the championship flag there. Don’t you have a point in your heart? Staples will always belong to the Lakers."
Tang Qian still won the ball easily. The Lakers wanted to push quickly and score first as usual, but Jeremy Lin was directly blocked by someone. This person was Chris Paul. Paul used "trash talk" when he saw Jeremy Lin.
"Interference: "You think you are my opponent? The gap between you and me is like an adult and a primary school student. You can't get past me."
Jeremy Lin hesitated because he knew that the other party was not lying, and it was indeed difficult for him to get rid of him.
And there is a huge gap in ability.
Paul's "trash talk" worked. With Jeremy Lin's hesitation, the first wave of offensive opportunities was fleeting. The Lakers fell into a situation of stopping the ball from the beginning. Charles Barkley, the host of the broadcast on T.N.T.
In other words, this is not a good sign. It means that Jeremy Lin still has no way to face Paul.
This is indeed the case. The Lakers' offensive continuity was lost, and they made a few meaningless passes, and then forced a shot against the defense from the outside. Butler did not score the goal. J.J. Redick had a good defensive attitude and a flexible mind.
, otherwise the "Backhand King Defending Harden Method" would not have been invented in the original time and space. Butler should have hit the ball inside. It is actually not a good thing to shoot from the outside at the beginning. His three-pointer top
His shooting ability is not very good, and this season is not the time for him to really succeed in three-point shooting, so he has to give up.
The ball bounced very far and was a long rebound. The Clippers got it and gave Paul a quick push.
Paul's ball is a typical direct run and gun, because he now knows too well what will happen if the Lakers are on the 29th. The deterrent force under the basket is too strong. Why was Tang Qian's defensive data so "sluggish" in the last game? Isn't that the case?
He doesn't slow down at all. Sometimes he would rather not have the chance to attack quickly instead of waiting for Tang Qian to come over and take position? Besides, the Clippers can't mess up with him. No matter how fast they are, there is always someone in control. This is super
The benefits of position 1.
He can control the rhythm of the whole team by himself, so that even if he plays crazy, there is still a degree that can be adjusted.
At this point, Jeremy Lin is far behind. His success this season comes more from the bonus of D'Antoni's system. His own strength is actually not up to this level. The sixth man is his best
A good choice. Being a starter seems a bit too high and too low. It's a bit embarrassing and ordinary.
If you look at this series, you have encountered Chris Paul, who has been a super No. 1 offensive and defensive player for many years. Even if he has the blessing of D'Antoni's system, he will not be able to use it. On the contrary, it is because he controls the entire Lakers system, which leads to
The team fell into a situation of "rhythm intermittent" and "rhythm chaos". The Clippers did not score the first goal, but Barnes who followed behind made up the goal. Barnes' attitude has always been
He is known for his positivity, which is also his magic weapon to establish himself in the league. Positivity is better than inactivity. Look at this ball. If Barnes didn't choose to play quickly, it would be because he was not the first or even second shot point of Paul's choice.
Being passive and slow in his work, he had no chance of scoring this goal.
The Clippers took the lead right from the start.
Clippers fans were also happy and gave the home team players a shout of approval.
"Did you see it? Hot, you won the last game just by luck." When Paul retreated, he crossed paths with Tang Qian and immediately seized the opportunity to spit. When the Lakers attacked, Jeremy Lin made a direct mistake and was beaten by Paul.
A single player quickly scored another 2 points. Jeremy Lin seemed very frustrated. He actually felt that the gap between him and Paul was too big, which made it impossible for him to use his strength normally.
"Lin, take good care of the ball, don't be anxious, reducing mistakes is the key." As the boss, Tang Qian naturally wanted to comfort his teammates at this time. Jeremy Lin nodded and said, "Well, do you want to play more inside?" Who knows that Tang Qian didn't.
He expressed his affirmation as before, but instead opened his mouth and said, "You can give more to Chris depending on the situation." After that, he went to the front court.
Huh? What do you mean by this? To Chris? What about him?
The momentum of the Clippers started from the beginning. They played very fast under the leadership of Paul. In short, they took advantage of every opportunity to attack the situation where the opponent was not on a firm footing and the defense did not have time to position itself. Even if the opportunity was not good, they still had to fight.
This strategy was jointly discussed by Paul and Clippers head coach Rivers. In fact, if you attack like this in large numbers, the rhythm will be messed up and the game will be messy. But it is because of Paul that this strategy can be tried. Until
Now, a huge success.
It's very simple. The faster you play, if you have to seize such fast opportunities even if there is no chance, it will be easier to make mistakes.
If there are too many mistakes, no matter how strong the team is, they will fall to their knees, but... they have Paul who is a stable man, who can control personal mistakes like a god, so they dare to play like this. If nothing else, Paul's control of personal mistakes,
In a very abnormal situation, if you look at the point guards who also hold the ball a lot, Magic has committed 3.9 turnovers in his career, and the highest is almost 5. Nash has averaged almost 3 turnovers per game in his career, and the highest is almost 4.
In the playoffs, there are times when it is close to 5. Even better than Stockton, he has averaged more than 4+ turnovers per game in the playoffs. Curry and Westbrook have nothing to say. Only Paul, in his career
There were less than 2.5 turnovers, and the playoffs were not very good except for the previous few years. But after 12 years, they have completely entered the realm of success, often averaging only 1+ turnovers per game. Come on, this is the playoffs.
None of the big guys above can do it well. You, a person who holds the ball a lot, can actually do it to this level. Do you have a machine controlling your brain?
That's why Rivers dared to set up such a team series play style that was almost "quick and chaotic".
Of course he was worried at first, but it turned out that doing so was extremely effective and had the effect of stopping his throat.
The Lakers' strongest interior defense has been greatly diluted and weakened.
At this time, when the offense cannot be opened and the system cannot be rolled out, D'Antoni knows the benefits of having a complete defensive system. They can at least position themselves in an orderly manner, delay the opponent's offense as much as possible, and wait for Tang Qian to have enough time to come back.
.
But what's the point of thinking about this now? It's impossible to change it now.
You can only fight hard.
"Hot, why don't you attack anymore? This is not your character. Are you scared?" Jordan also started to challenge, because there are really not many opportunities like this. How come he was beaten by this man in the last two games of the regular season?
Damn it, he still remembered it. But he was not the kind of person who would bow his head. He just wanted to get it back, and he had to give Tang Qian a blow.
He didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon, and he felt his blood boiling.
Even he felt in excellent condition tonight and was not afraid of the attack from the Oriental opposite him.
Anyway, if his shooting percentage drops significantly, there is no problem at all. He has this confidence. The first two games also proved this.
I, D'Antoni Jordan, may not be as good at defense as you, but my reputation is not in vain. If you want to hit me, you have to pay the price!
If this were a normal situation, Tang Qian might have wanted the ball, but after analyzing the pros and cons with Kobe in the video room last time, he didn't say much. He just stayed in position and didn't want the ball. Seeing the Lakers' No. 29, he didn't want the ball.
Being fooled, Jordan wanted to continue, but before he could say anything, he saw a Lakers player coming in. He immediately prepared to move over to help defend, but... there was a muffled "bang" and he was completely
"nailed" in place.
Is this...a low post screen? This guy!
Yes, Tang Qian started to increase the diversity of his playing style in this round. Kobe was right. As the core, the ultimate goal is to lead the team to win. As long as he can win, he can make various changes.
Sacrifice. Why is Duncan of the Spurs so old and still playing the role of "Optimus Prime" in the team? Why does the Spurs' offense become smoother when he is on the court? The reason is that when his personal ability declines,
He immediately changed and used other methods to help the team and lead the team to victory.
Now the Lakers have made it clear that they can't beat others at the No. 1 position, or they can't beat them on both offense and defense. Therefore, if he doesn't seek changes, the team's chances of winning will really be worse than their opponents. This is the first change. Tonight, his changes,
It's more than that.
The Clippers are still playing very fast, but there is a problem with playing this way. The opponent is not on a stable footing, and the same is true for you. The shooting rate will be somewhat unstable. The Lakers are not a vegetarian here in single defense. If you judge it, you will interfere with a few
No problem. Therefore, at this time, we need to solve the problem on the offensive end. The essence of basketball is to score goals.
"Hot, come on, I'll wait for you." Jordan deliberately seduced, but Tang Qian was not fooled. He also saw that the former had a strong revenge on him in this series. Such a mentality made
His competitive state is obviously much better than normal. If he plays hard like this, the situation will not be better than the first two games. And what he said on the 24th was right. There is a big difference in his current physical fitness.
The disadvantage is that if both sides output high power, the result is faster power consumption, and at the same time, the control of both sides is unstable. If you lose the sesame seeds, you will also lose the watermelons.
In this game, he wants to make changes.
Only he can make such a big change now. Tang Qian still ignored DeAndre Jordan and just kept moving in the low post, looking for opportunities to cover his teammates and cut to the basket to score. Suddenly, it really made the Lakers' offense come alive.
Quite a bit. At least the movement of the players and the movement of the ball have become a bit smoother. But this alone is not enough. The Lakers still have a way to catch up with the score difference.
So what else should be done?
Tang Qian immediately gave the answer.
He definitely doesn't want to be the kind of king who can only fix his own system and have the rest of the team cooperate with him, but wants to be a Transformer who can attack and defend, ah, no, he can adjust himself at any time according to the team's situation.
In this way, when you can't open the game, the team won't be unable to open the game.
Only then will we not waste our teammates and turn the team into a "one-man show" that relies entirely on ourselves.
During this game, Kobe was sitting in the office of the president of his company, looking up from time to time while working. He also wanted to know whether his words that day had any effect, or whether they were completely useless.
nonsense.
Dongfang Perm, now, let me see what you will do.
Kobe looked up at the high-definition TV and thought quietly in his heart.
PS: The explosion has lasted for several days, and Xiao Zi is a little overwhelmed. She will take a rest tonight and have a holiday tomorrow. Xiao Zi promises that if she continues to explode with 10,000 words, she will sit at home and type. Let’s see Xiao Zi’s sincerity tomorrow.
Xiao Zi will definitely not cheat~~~will continue to explode with 10,000 words tomorrow~~~
