As the score increased alternately, the Warriors have been implementing Cole's style of play, defending alone in the paint, not double-teaming, and strangling the rest of the Lakers. This is a typical "Jordan Law One", allowing your core star to kill alone
, however, you win the data, but you can't take away the victory. This approach was done in many of Cole's games, such as the finals between LeBron James and the Warriors in the original time and space. Cole adopted a large number of
Defending James with a one-on-one defense will allow you to score high, but your team can't win. Don't believe it? A set of data will make you convinced and speechless. In the 2017 Finals, James' double-team rate was 14%
, even in 2015, it was not much higher. In 2010, Kobe was the most double-teamed outsider in the new century. He held the ball for an average of 40 rounds, was actively double-teamed and assisted defensively 23 times, and the double-team rate was about 57%.
.And who has the highest outside double-team rate? Naturally, it’s the man at the top in Chicago. What’s the long-term double-team rate in the peak era? You really don’t believe it when I tell you, someone took screenshots of each game and compared them.
Statistics are absolutely unbiased. For example, in the years 87-89, what was the double-team rate in regular games? Not much, about 70-90%. Don’t believe it? Go search and see for yourself. For example, 53 against the Pacers in 1987
In that game, there were 46 offensive rounds with the ball, only 3 1-on-1 times, and the double-team rate was as high as 93.5%. So, Jordan is really powerful. This is an example.
Despite the extremely terrifying double-team rate, they were still invincible. In this regard, modern players are really far behind.
Cole played with Jordan, so he is very clear about the difference between modern stars and Jordan. You don't need to take the initiative to double-team James when holding the ball. He only needs to break in to help defend and double-team. It was enough in 2015.
The finals of time and space have explained everything. James takes high shots and hits high? Can one person break the game like Kobe? Overthinking. Facts have proved that even if James plays like Kobe, his shooting percentage will not be higher than 40%. What's more?
That year, perimeter defense was still mostly one-on-one with the ball. This was something Cole firmly believed in. In this era, there was no monster like Jordan.
Therefore, no one deserves that crazy double-team rate.
There is no need for James to double-team him. He can't beat a team by himself, and he doesn't have the ability to score consecutively. If the double-team rate is low, the high score in one game will inevitably drop sharply in the next game, so just
At this point, there is no need to focus on double-teaming. Kerr remembers very well that Jordan held the ball 28 times in the first game of the 1988 Eastern Conference semifinals, but only gave him one one-on-one opportunity.
The double-team rate is as high as 96.4%. To put it simply, whether it is the playoffs or the regular season, can you still find a player with a double-team rate of more than 60% in a single game? Kobe Bryant's highest was just listed, but it was only about 57%, 70%
? 80%? 90%? More than 90%? You really feel like you are bullying people when you say it. But it doesn’t matter if Kobe loses to Jordan. Anyway, no perimeter player in history can achieve Jordan’s level. In terms of double-team rate,
James is even worse, not on the same level at all.
That's why after every game, there are posts about XXX defending James alone, because for James, unless he kills the basket hard, otherwise, there is basically no need to double-team. Before 17 to 18 years, even shooting
It can be placed two meters away. Why double-team? Therefore, Cole has witnessed the strongest double-teamed perimeter in history and has a very intuitive judgment on this level. In today's basketball, he believes that no one needs to be treated like this.
of.
Tang Qian thought so too. After looking at Tang Qian's play style and data, including the previous two rounds of the series, Cole easily concluded that the Lakers' No. 29 simply couldn't kill anyone with a single kill. Add in the offense.
His methods are monotonous, his physical strength is insufficient, and he won't be able to fight much before he will defeat himself. Indeed, Cole is really powerful in analysis, and his analysis is basically the truth.
However, starting tonight, Tang Qian, from this old perspective, is no longer appropriate.
Cole will suffer a big loss for his judgment and persistence in this game.
When Tang Qian scored 30 points, the assistant coach asked Steve Kerr if he wanted to change his tactics and suppress No. 29 of the Lakers a little. Kerr shook his head confidently and said that it was not necessary at all.
It won't take long for the Oriental to give up on his own, because he can't hold on for so long and his limit is coming soon. When Tang Qian scored 35 points, Cole also smiled slightly and said, the Lakers' No. 29 is in great shape tonight.
Yes. When Tang Qian scored 40 points, the assistant coach came over again and asked if the Lakers should use tactical restrictions at the 5th position. Cole was still confident. He believed that Tang Qian had reached the end of his strength, and now it was just right to change the formation.
Let the latter's plan succeed and revitalize the whole team. When Tang Qian scored 45 points, the smile on Cole's face faded a little, but he was still relatively calm and said, hurry up, he played like this to let himself be in the end.
He exhausted all his energy and became an "invisible man" on the court. This was exactly what he wanted. The Lakers would definitely lose.
Well, as a result, when Tang Qian saw the opponent, he still insisted on defending alone. He was not reserved at all. He grabbed Bogut and continued to beat him violently. He did not treat the latter as someone who wanted to save face at all. When Tang Qian scored 47 points
At that time, the expression on Bogut's own face was a little numb. Let alone the ambitious "suppression plan" before, right now, we "Australian No. 1 pick" don't even know what we are still doing on the court.
Yes, is there anyone who bullies others like this? He does all sorts of tricks, but the other person doesn't care at all.
It's like saying that you are nothing more than child's play to me.
In fact, this is really not a lie. For Tang Qian, this is really child's play. He played in the finals in the "dark era" when NBA rules were not so civilized and sound. So this kind of intensity simply made him feel.
When it comes to "tickling", I don't take it to heart at all.
If Bogut asks now, can't you, old man, react to my little moves? Tang Qian will definitely answer like this... What? Did you just make a little move?
The Warriors were fouled by an off-ball player defended by the Lakers. Since the total fouls of the team had not reached 4 times, they sent a ball from the frontcourt. As soon as the ball came in, the Warriors chose to shoot a three-pointer, but this ball
Instead of shooting, Tang Qian hit Bogut and got the rebound. Then he entered the Warriors' low post and reached for the ball: "Give it to me." Jeremy Lin gave the ball to him without even thinking.
Going in, Tang Qian got the ball and attacked. At this time, Bogut looked like he was almost mechanized and didn't know how he should defend. When Tang Qian saw him in this state, he knew that the ball was going to be decided. He made one move
After breaking through in the low post, Bogut seemed a little distracted by the ball. He paused for a moment before being passed cleanly by the Lakers' No. 29.
"It's terrible. It seems that Andrew was completely knocked unconscious by Dongfang Fang tonight. He was not able to complete the breakthrough delay on this ball. In this way, the Lakers' No. 29 could fully accelerate and hit the basket." The Warriors' on-site commentary
As the player was talking, he suddenly saw a glimmer of hope and immediately said loudly: "No, there is still hope. Drummond's ball came from the wing. Can he interfere with the Lakers' No. 29 ball?"
"Dongfang Tang, don't try to score this goal easily, I will let you call me daddy~" Green is such a big mouth, he even subconsciously spews trash talk when he is defending. It seems that trash talk has really become a part of his body.
Yeah. However, this ball may be able to influence others, but for Tang Qian tonight, it is as funny as a child shouting.
"Both Drummond and Dongfang Fang jumped up. Although Drummond is average in height, he has a very long wingspan and has the wingspan and reach of a big man inside, so I think there is still some hope for this ball...
…oh~my~ Tong completed the dunk, and his ball dunked Drummond almost upside down. Although I am a loyal fan of the Warriors, I have to say that this ball is too beautiful and tough.
It means facing the defender head-on. If we lose tonight, it is estimated that the highest single score in the playoffs at Oracle Arena will be broken. Tonight will belong to that Eastern man."
Under the commentary of the Warriors commentator, Tang Qian looked down at Draymond Green, who almost fell to the ground, and said: "You still want me to call you dad? Look at how embarrassed you are, why don't you call me
Grandpa, I can dunk you later without dunking on your face." Green is a typical person who is very thick-skinned and is not afraid of being criticized, so he raised his head and retorted: "Dongfang Tang, come and fight if you have the ability.
In my opinion, your scoring ability is not worth mentioning."
Tang Qian smiled and said: "Okay, I like your unconvinced character, but... as long as you are an opponent, I will not show mercy to you. I will wait for you here later, remember
Come here, get ready in advance." This shot was obviously a foul by Green, so Tang Qian went to the free throw line. He hit the extra free throw. As expected, Tang Qian's serve felt good today. So far, his free throw shooting rate is quite good.
Tang Qian scored 50 points.
"Well, Steve, how about we change the lineup? The Lakers' No. 29 was in really good shape tonight." The Warriors assistant coach couldn't bear it when he saw that the Lakers' No. 29 scored 50 points.
Zhu made another suggestion. Cole refused decisively: "It doesn't matter. We all know his scoring ability. He can't kill anyone. I can't wait for him to continue like this."
"Just don't stop." Cole said still confidently.
As a result, Tang Qian seemed to have heard it and had no intention of stopping. He was a little surprised that the Warriors hadn't come over to send anyone to double-team to help defend him. He didn't know what they were planning. However, since you don't guarantee
Clip, then it’s a pity. I will definitely continue to get points. Wouldn’t it be a big waste if I don’t make good use of such a good preferential treatment?
Wouldn’t it be a failure to live up to your good intentions?
Wanting the ball, keep playing. Tang Qian held the ball and passed Bogut easier than before, and then he entered the inside. I thought he was going to dunk, but unexpectedly, the Lakers' No. 29 suddenly stopped. Instead,
Looking at the moving Warriors player on the other side, Green said, "I'm here, are you ready?" Green was annoyed when he saw that Tang Qian was actually here, and the position was basically the same as the ball just now.
He ran over and shouted: "You oriental donut, you are vulnerable, I will come over and eat you clean!" After hearing this, Tang Qian was not angry but laughed: "If I were a real donut, you wouldn't be able to eat it.
If you can get it, aren't you afraid of being caught?"
Tang Qian used his body to hit Green, then reached out and hit the latter's head to score the goal.
Green's arms and reach are not low, but compared with Tang Qian, they are at the level of a primary school student and not worth mentioning.
"Your hands are so short? Do you still want to cover me? Do you want to talk to you for a while?" Faced with a big mouth like Green, Tang Qian also had the temper to sneer, and he even had a strong one tonight
His desire is to overwhelm the former with "trash talk" and make him speechless.
"Otherwise, you can just go find Iron Man and get a steel simulation arm."
"Maybe with four arms you can have a chance to defend me, right?"
"Dongfang Tang, you will eat farts later! I promise!!!" As soon as Green's words came out, Tang Qian smiled even brighter: "You are right, there are people who eat farts, but it's not me, but
you."
"Oh, by the way, you just asked me if I can speak English, and I'm telling you now that I can, but do you know Chinese? No, then I'm going to scold you now, XXXXXXXXX, hahahaha~ You understand.
You don’t understand? This is the gap between you and top academics. Read more books, otherwise you won’t even know what I’m talking about if I scold you.”
"Oh, yes, I know you are not convinced, and I welcome you to continue to come to me. You are really welcome."
Tang Qian turned around and walked away, but Green became depressed. He was a little angry with the next ball and shot a three-pointer from the top arc. The basketball missed. Tang Qian protected the defensive rebound and shouted at Green: "You haven't eaten.
?Can you be on time? Are you short-sighted? I'm embarrassed if you ask me to rebound the ball."
At this time, off the court of the Warriors, the assistant coach said again: "Steve, there is really no need..."
Cole shook his head. He was actually angry with Tang Qian in his heart. He didn't believe that the Eastern center could hold on until the end tonight. As long as the latter's physical fitness was poor and his offense and defense declined, then it would be time for the Warriors to overtake the score. For
Kerr has always been full of confidence in the Warriors' ability to chase points instantly.
Furthermore, he really didn't believe that Tang Qian could kill the game by himself.
Lakers player Yi Jianlian missed the shot, and the basketball bounced high and turned into an iron backboard.
"Protect the rebound!" Curry shouted loudly from the top arc, but before Bogut had time to react, he felt himself jerking forward, and then heard a huge "bang" sound that resounded in his head.
head on.
You, you, what else do you want? I haven't even done anything, I'm already like this, why are you so fierce?
What else do you want!!!!
Tang Qian originally wanted to criticize Bogut a few words, but when he saw the latter's slightly "resentful" eyes, he couldn't say anything at all. He could only shake his head and give up, turning around and going back to the defense.
At this time, Tang Qian scored the 55th point of the game.
