Chapter 1113 Leading the Western Championship for the first time to break out~
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.
Kobe also saw that Tang Qian was very interested in studying the video and was not bored or perfunctory, so he agreed to Tang Qian to come out and analyze it together. If you change someone else, you will see if he can dump you. Of course, Tang Qian helped him achieve the biggest success in his career.
It's a pity that he treats the latter differently. For the rest, he can just say some official words on Twitter. He wants to study basketball alone with him. Among the newcomers, no one has such a big reputation.
He also felt that the ball was coming, so he successfully executed it. It may have been a bit stiff, but when it came suddenly, Jordan and Griffin were unprepared. It was considered that they had fallen into Tang Qian's way. And don't forget.
Well, when it comes to rebounding ability, Tang Qian has already surpassed Rodman. This is what Rodman envies, the limit of his physical talent.
In this regard, he is indeed incomparable to these monsters.
Therefore, Rodman can only get stuck on the strongest super rebounder, but he can't make any more progress. If he has a body like Chamberlain Russell as support, the rebounding limit will definitely not be 18+. His body,
limits his upper limit.
However, Tang Qian does not have this problem, so even if he is not yet proficient in using it now, he can still rely on his current rebounding ability to win the ball. Then, he did not hesitate and took off directly.
DeAndre Jordan, who completely turned around, went directly to the basket for a layup. This kind of non-frontal body contact, DeAndre Jordan was still in the process of turning around, unless there was a black whistle, otherwise it was basically a definite defensive foul. Tang Qian's shot
, the rebound went into the net, the referee blew the whistle, and he had to go to the free throw line again to take an extra free throw.
Unfortunately, the free throw missed, but an offensive rebound and a 2-pointer still extended the Lakers' lead to 6 points.
At this time, Tang Qian's physical fitness had also reached its limit, and he began to slowly decline. There was no way. His playing time was now close to 40 minutes. Beyond this time, every additional half minute of playing was torture. The two sides entered a tug-of-war.
The game was very difficult, but they were all racing against time. The Clippers obviously wanted to speed up and increase the number of rounds in the game, while the Lakers did the opposite.
Tang Qian's physical fitness declined, and so did his offensive and defensive status. As the game progressed, the Lakers still led by 4 points when 3 minutes entered. In order to tilt the situation slightly towards the Lakers, and to save time, more
Regarding the number of offensive rounds of the Clippers, Clippers head coach Rivers made a decision that he thought was safe.
And this decision, just like the Rockets' decision, pushed his team into the abyss.
This decision is to "cut Tang Qian". After all, the last time the Rockets "cut Tang Qian" there was only one sample. In the big data sample, Tang Qian was still the master of missing free throws in the playoffs. Moreover, he lost a lot of money once he dropped.
This is also a method that any Western Conference team will adopt against the Lakers when it enters the playoffs and has no choice but to do so. D'Antoni frowned when he saw this, as did the two people from Tianchao Sports.
Because now everyone knows that Tang Qian is very poor in free throw shooting in the playoffs.
Much worse than the regular season.
It's all polite to say bad things.
Some netizens also said on the Internet that they should take quick-acting heart-saving pills as soon as they see Tang Qian going to the free throw line in the playoffs.
Although it was mostly ridiculed, it also shows that no one is optimistic about Tang Qian's free throw shooting in the playoffs.
Well, so, I have to prove myself, and I just go to the free throw line to take a breather.
But due to his decline in physical fitness, Tang Qian made 0 of 2 free throws for the first time he was cut. It seemed that everything was going according to Rivers' expectations. And Rivers was more cunning than McHale. When he wanted to cut Tang Qian,
So I replaced Jordan to avoid being taken advantage of by the opponent. Yes, they all look perfect, without any leaks.
That is, the source is wrong.
Paul caused a foul on Jeremy Lin on this shot and made 1 of 2 free throws from the free throw line? It seems that Paul was really "back" tonight.
Paul flicked his wrist in annoyance. He was also very dissatisfied with his 1-for-2 free throws. In his opinion, he should have made 2-for-2 free throws. But it doesn't matter. Your number 29 won't go down anyway, so just wait.
Just wait and get chopped. Go down and wait for our crazy impact. Anyway, you will make money. As a result, Tang Qian was sent to the free throw line this time. Tang Qian adjusted for a long time before taking action. Anyway, the free throw does not take too long.
If you are anxious, just take out the penalty within the prescribed time, and you will get 2 out of 2 free throws.
"Oh, I said, do you really want to kill me?" After Tang Qian scored 2 free throws and the Lakers led by 5 points, he turned to Paul and asked.
"Do you think you can be proud of yourself just because you were lucky enough to score two free throws?" Paul sneered: "You're going to cry soon."
The Clippers attacked, Paul made a sudden pass, Redick made a three-pointer, Ariza made a timely save, and the ball interfered enough.
When the basketball hit the iron, Tang Qian received the defensive rebound, and as soon as it hit the ground, the foul whistle sounded. It seemed that in the 1 minute left that could still be fouled without the ball, the Clippers were ready to try their best to grab it.
The rounds were counted. The wave of offense just now took them less than 8 seconds. It was a typical "D'Antoni play". Tang Qian went to the free throw line and made 1 of 2 free throws. He nodded and thought to himself, okay
, not bad. This hit rate is much better now than when it was affected by "Inner Demon".
Paul was unhappy when he saw Tang Qian still smiling after making 1 of 2 free throws. He dribbled the ball quickly and passed the ball quickly to Barnes in the right corner. Barnes didn't even make a three-pointer. Not that anyone made it.
It interfered with him because he didn't make a shot in the open position. His open shots were not that accurate. In the regular season, he was fine. In the playoffs, the three-pointers fluctuated greatly. When he was accurate, he could reach 40% to 42%.
When is it accurate? It has been 16% several times in a single season. So where has his three-pointer fluctuated in the playoffs this season? Is it good or bad? The answer is...not good, very bad. So far, his three-pointers
The three-point shooting rate is only around 26%, which is basically the same as the three-point shooting rate of Yuanshikong in the playoffs this season. Such three-pointers are still open three-pointers, and they still miss more than 4+ times per game. Quick
It would be strange if the Clippers didn't give him a hard time at critical moments. He and Crawford both have over 20% three-point shooting in the playoffs this season, but average 4+ to 5+ shots per game. The Clippers
It's not unreasonable that the team was blocked from the Western Conference Finals in time and space. Such a large amount of shots and such ironcladness made people desperate at a critical moment.
The most depressing person is, of course, Paul. As the No. 1, passing the ball is his top priority. If he passes the opportunity, what can he do if his teammates fail to make the shot? At critical moments, he can only rely on others, and of course the ball
The team was at a disadvantage in the tough confrontation.
You said you want him to fight on his own. When a chance comes up for his teammates, will you give it to him? If he were Jordan, Kobe, or Iverson, then there would be no need to worry about it and he could just do it by himself. But, he is not, he is
For a No. 1 position who mainly focuses on passing the ball, if he sees that his teammates are empty and you don't let him pass the ball, he will feel uncomfortable and will not adapt to it at first instinct.
This is the first attribute of the court. Paul is passing the ball, not scoring by himself.
It was a long rebound, but Butler didn't react slowly and got the ball. Before he could warm up, he heard the referee's whistle blowing. Lakers No. 29 was fouled without the ball and sent to the free throw line.
There are still more than 13 seconds left. It should be possible to steal an offense and then commit another one. Within 2 minutes, a foul without the ball will be too costly.
If you continue to do this at that time, you are seeking your own death.
But just as the Clippers were preparing to grab the rebound, everyone was stunned because there was no rebound to protect. The basketball went into the Los Angeles Clippers' basket. Once again, 2 free throws were made.
This time Tang Qian couldn't help but shake his right hand and said: "Well done, it's time to give those who look down on you a hard slap in the face."
"If we continue to look down on us, this game will end."
When Paul heard this, his expression was gloomy. He passed the ball to Redick on the outside, but Redick did not take the ball, and the basketball was passed back to Chris Paul's hands. Now the Lakers are leading by 8 points. If they don't score, they will soon
The Clippers might have to kneel down. In order to gain time, the Clippers gritted their teeth and made an emergency stop on No. 3. The basketball finally penetrated the Lakers' net.
There's still 6 points left, a foul is imminent, it should be too late.
That's what Paul was thinking. Tang Qian also went to the free throw line. As a result... this guy made 2 of 2 free throws again.
What...what are you doing??? Are you kidding me???
After looking at the remaining time, Paul's mentality finally became unbearable. Stable God's "godhead" was no longer there.
Tang Qian also got a rebound and was beaten in the attack. Although he made 0 of 2 free throws, the overall situation has been decided. The rest of the Clippers are being targeted by the Lakers. Only Paul can have the ability to attack independently to break the game. But today, he
It's not the same game as last night. His key attacks have never been sustainable. This intermittent scoring of goals cannot help the Clippers.
In the final 10 seconds of the game, the Lakers still led by 4 points. Unless Paul could hit 3+1, otherwise, the Clippers would completely lose. They would definitely lose. Of course, Tang Qian could not let Nash hit 3+ last year.
1 Extension of life happened to his own team, so he made it very clear, let Paul take the shot, and don't reach out to foul.
In fact, Paul did not make the shot. Basketball struck iron, Tang Qian collected the rebound, and the game ended.
The Lakers defeated the Clippers 100-96 by 4 points, with a big score of 4-2, and advanced to the Western Conference Finals.
Tang Qian said something to Paul at this time: "I say goodbye to you in this year's Western Conference Finals. Let's make an appointment with them next year. The number of people is full~ It's a pity~" Paul's anger that he had been holding back for so long finally broke out.
, he directly hit the game ball hard on the ground, only touched Tang Qian's hands briefly, regarded it as a courtesy, turned around and walked quickly towards the Clippers locker room.
Tang Qian relied on these people to score his own blessings in this game and scored 17 points. The rest of the data also included 17 rebounds, 6 blocks, 2 assists and 1 steal. Although it cannot be compared with the data against the Rockets in the previous round, but
In this series, it was pretty good. In the end, the game was won and the Lakers advanced to the Western Conference Finals. His sacrifice was rewarded.
This was enough to comfort Tang Qian.
The rest, Jeremy Lin, scored 7 points, 5 assists and 1 steal, Bosh scored 17 points, Butler scored 8 points, and Nick Young scored 10 points...
For the Clippers, Paul only made 6 of 19 shots, and only scored 20 points including free throws. Even if he had 9 assists and 4 steals, it still couldn't close the gap. The core battle between him and Tang Qian,
Series, at a disadvantage.
Because he lost. Losers have no mercy in basketball.
You are the boss of the Clippers. If they lose, you will have the biggest blame.
If you don’t say you lost, does it mean that the leader of the Lakers lost?
Among the rest of the Clippers, Griffin had the best performance with 22 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block. Jordan also scored 4 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks. Redick scored 17 points, which is considered complete.
The main reason is that the Clippers' Barnes and Crawford played too poorly and their shooting percentage was too low. Especially the latter, he only made 4 of 14 shots, with a shooting percentage of less than 30%. Three
He even made 1 of 6 shots from the field. In this way, he simply failed to fulfill his role as the sixth man.
If he was normal tonight, the Lakers wouldn't win.
Because it was the Western Conference finals, there was also an award ceremony for the Western Conference championship. Tang Qian looked at the silver round trophy, and he suddenly felt, oh, this is the first major team honor he has won under his leadership.
.This award is worth remembering.
When the Lakers won the Western Conference Championship Trophy, Kobe turned off the TV in his office, lowered his head and regained his workaholic nature. It was just the corners of his mouth, the slightly raised arc, that seemed to say, oh, Ben Mamba's mood today.
not bad.
With a big score of 4-2, the Los Angeles Lakers advance.
