Chapter 1140 What are you doing? Hit him, make up for it~

"The Lakers have been pushed to the cliff in this game. If they don't make some changes, they will fall in the Western Conference Finals and lose the qualification to continue to compete this season." Meteor Rain said: "This season the Golden State Warriors let
Everyone knows that they are not a pseudo-strong team like the opposite Hawks, and their true colors will be revealed once they reach the playoffs. They have proved one point with amazing strength. This season, they are the real league seeds and not a foil. The whole world
Those who underestimated them are now accepting their horrific and cruel punishment." Meteor Shower's commentary now seems to have become a bit more artistic, much better than the dry tone at the beginning, and the professional level is not to mention high, but
At least they are making progress. "The Lakers are basically two teams in the regular season and playoffs." Zhang Weiping also said: "We can see that the Lakers in the regular season attack mercury, averaging the highest points per game in the league, even more than the Warriors.
It was much higher, so their problems on the defensive end were also covered up. What about the playoffs? Except for the first round against the Houston Rockets, the rest of the season was a heart-wrenching experience, with ups and downs in every game, whether they won or lost.
How do you actually say this? Let's put it this way, the Lakers' defense has always been like this. Even if there is a gap between the playoffs and the regular season, it is not big. So what is their real problem? It's their offense. It's them.
There were problems on the offensive end, and the offensive magic weapon of the regular season was missing, so the problems on the defensive end were also exposed."
"It's a miracle that it can sustain until now. My previous considerations were too optimistic. When facing the truly strong teams in the league, it became apparent how fragile this team is and is not as strong as imagined. If this team is in
In the Eastern Conference, there may still be a possibility of entering the finals, but in the Western Conference, it is really difficult. This cannot be solved by Tang Qian alone."
"Tang Qian really tried his best, but the Lakers as a whole are not as good as the Warriors. If they want to come back and win, they need to do too many things. First of all, they need to have someone on the outside. This is the basic condition. Otherwise, Tang Qian will be alone.
Even if a person becomes Jordan, it won’t work.”
Seeing that even Weiping Don Bryant said this, many Lakers fans also felt that there was not much hope. The entire Lakers area, forum, and post bar felt lifeless. Opposite the Warriors area, forum
, the post bar is awesome, full of posts attacking the Lakers and ridiculing the Lakers. Take a look at the most typical example, NBA post bar, this is a game where the team has the upper hand and the star leads the team to win, they can conquer
The magical place of Tieba. When Kobe Bryant was awesome, this Tieba was basically filled with Komi. After James rose, it was basically all James. Later, it was occupied by the Warriors. It is known as the saliva post.
The most popular place. When the fight is fierce, you can see all the posts.
Oracle Arena.
Tang Qian, who was back on the field, pulled Jimmy Butler over and said: "Jimmy, I'll give you the ball later. You must take action decisively and try to grab three-pointers. You know? We need three-pointers now! Rebounds
I will try my best, don’t be afraid of not making a shot!” Because the usual starter returns in the third quarter, the current lineup of the Lakers is Tang Qian + Yi Jianlian + Ariza + Butler + Jeremy Lin. And the offense here
The most stable point is actually Butler. Tang Qian doesn't know what his future will be like, but looking at it now, he is the most suitable outside candidate for the Lakers to break the game.
All grudges and grudges have to be put aside now. The first thing professional players do when they go on the field is to win.
Otherwise, you don't even have basic professionalism.
Although Butler had done a lot of "little things" before, he became much more honest after being dealt with. When Tang Qian saw this, he was no longer someone who was holding on to his past grudges. Not to mention how they got along later.
They are harmonious, at least they don't get in each other's way. That's enough. Think about what Rodman said back then, he only fought with Jordan and Pippen on the court, and ended up going back to their homes to find their own mothers. In fact, this
This kind of thing is not uncommon in the NBA. Who said you have to have a very good relationship to play good basketball? There are constant conflicts and friction between the O.K combination. Didn’t they also achieve three consecutive dynasty achievements? So at this time
, everything must be considered for the team, for the whole, and for victory.
Because they are not wild players, they are professional players.
Butler was stunned when he saw Tang Qian like this. After all, since the last incident, he and Tang Qian have always been "respectful" and "too polite on the surface". Apart from training and games, there is almost no personal contact. Tang Qian
It was the first time in a long time that I talked to him like this.
"Me? Am I the main attacker? What about you?" Butler asked. He was not sure what Tang Qian meant.
"Yes, I'm stuck too tight now. Someone has to step up from the outside. Otherwise, I won't be able to attack and score."
"Why not find someone else?" Butler continued: "My relationship with you is not that good."
"I like how you tell the truth." Tang Qian did not shy away and replied directly: "Then I will also tell the truth, because you are the strongest individual in this team now, and Chris is not here, so you need to stand up.
What? Are you scared?" "You're just scared." Butler snorted and said in his heart: I'm only afraid of you beating me, but I'm not afraid of anything else!
"That's fine, let's do it this way. You are the key to whether we can win this game. If you can't complete the task and open up the outside situation, we are going to start our summer vacation and choose a fishing spot." Tang Qian finished.
Patting his body, he said: "Remember, believe in yourself, you can do it. I think you actually have a lot of hidden energy besides ambition."
"If we break out, we still have a chance. Okay?"
If Nick Young and Jeremy Lin heard this, they would definitely curse in their hearts: Why is this routine so familiar?
Did he also tell us the same thing at that time?
Is that right? Yes. Tang Qian wants to use this seemingly "metaphysical" thing to help them build self-confidence.
Otherwise, just using up ability cards like this is actually not cost-effective. It’s always best to bring something extra.
For example, Nick Young in last year's finals, or Jeremy Lin at the beginning of this year's regular season, he actually used ability cards to bring them extra confidence. This can be regarded as maximizing utilization. You said it was "
There is nothing wrong with the "mysterious Eastern Power". At the same time, Tang Qian activated this silver assist card, which is also his only remaining ability card. This thing is getting harder and harder to get. It is really a deep-seated routine of "different space"
Ah. Once you leave the "Novice Village", you won't have as many benefits as before.
The game restarted, the Warriors served, they played a pick-and-roll pass and cut. Curry rushed in and passed to Iguodala on the outside. Iguodala made a mid-range shot and hit the ball. The score difference was up.
It was expanded to 16 points by the Warriors. 38-54, the Lakers fell further and further behind. The five small lineups are really powerful, and their space containment is too strong. Without the support of a complete defensive system, Tang Qian
He can only be pulled away frequently and cannot stay inside for a long time.
Unless you don't care about other people's three-pointers.
But can you let go of the Warriors? You can't. They can shoot 3-pointers from 5 points. This is really fatal.
D'Antoni shook his head secretly when he saw this, not knowing what else to do.
This Warriors team, especially this "five small lineup", made him feel that there were many flaws in his small ball system, and many things needed to be upgraded. Otherwise, he would simply use the original set.
Being hung up and beaten. In the original time and space future, he really thought of a way, but now, he hasn't thought of it yet, and the Lakers have thought of it and have no conditions to implement it.
Tang Qian asked for the ball, but he was surrounded by the Warriors. Because the Lakers' outside shooting was so poor tonight and their morale was very low, the Golden State Warriors could confidently and boldly surround him.
It's very smooth, and I don't have to worry about being attacked outside. Anyway, with their "five small" mobility, they can get out in time with ordinary contractions. At least the interference can be effective, so that the opponent will not be able to shoot uninterrupted air.
basket.
Besides, the Lakers didn't open up from outside at all tonight, so that's not a big concern.
"Surround him and see what tricks he can do!" Big-mouthed Green is directing the Warriors' defense. Although he has a big mouth, his defensive IQ and defensive command ability are really strong, otherwise you would think
Who is the defensive core of the Warriors? Even Iguodala is used as a defensive leader, not the defensive core. The defensive core of this Golden State Warriors is not Iguodala, not Thompson, and not Bogut
, it is even more unlikely to be Curry or his ilk, or Draymond Green.
Whether you don't like his style of play or look down on him, he is such a person and his ability will not be obliterated by the words of the outside world.
"Fang, just admit defeat. You are very strong on your own, but there is no way to survive tonight! You are destined to be defeated by my men!"
When Tang Qian heard this, he deliberately broke through and attracted the Warriors' defense a little deeper before saying: "You come here alone, and I'll beat you until your big-mouthed mother doesn't even recognize you. In addition to encirclement and suppression, what else can you do?"
"In the Middle Ages, people like you were not worthy of dueling! Because you are not qualified to be a knight!" "Stop talking nonsense! Let me ask you, what should you do if you can't score points or score goals?" Green said
After Tang Qian finished, he walked out of the fairway: "Wouldn't it be better to let my teammates score the points? Are you talking too much trash in your head, and you are almost pretending to be stupid?"
The ball was passed very timely. After entering the realm of 7 assists crystal bricks, Tang Qian's passing has reached the league's first-class level. In addition, he attracted too much defensive attention tonight. This ball was passed suddenly, which is not bad.
opportunity. Thompson was careless with the ball. Before he could run out, he saw Lakers Jimmy Butler hit a spot-up three-pointer.
Butler actually felt bad tonight, no, in the entire series. The person guarding him was the same as Nick Young, basically either Thompson or Iguodala. The individual defense ability of these two people is better than the other.
Stronger and more stable than the last, he is now in the first year of transitioning from a blue-collar outside line. He is not used to the high-intensity and high-energy defense in the playoffs. When playing against the Rockets, Harden's defense goes without saying, especially now.
The "nightclub boarding mode" is even less effective, and it's not uncommon for Butler to beat the numbers. The situation in the last round was similar. His opponent was either J.J. Redick or Jamal Crawford. One of the two was defensive.
Attitude and experience, but his height is too short, only over 190+CM. One of them is famous for not being defensive, and only has the "word" in his eyes: offense. Therefore, Butler can play reasonably well. Only in this series.
, he played very poorly, and the intensity of defense has increased. Regardless of individual defense or overall defense, the Warriors are the strongest choice in the league. Except that the Lakers' interior defense can overwhelm them, what about the rest? Who dares to say
First?
It's true that he ranks first in defensive efficiency this season, so it's normal for Butler to be frustrated.
At least it was like this before this ball.
If you can't guard against that slippery move, Butler's shooting percentage in this series can't even be seen.
Brush~hits are hit rate~but it seems more like good luck. I missed so many shots and always had to "conservate my character". It didn't attract much attention from the Warriors. The Warriors didn't make any shots either.
, there is a chance, but it is impossible to hit 100% of the time. It is impossible to open the ball. After Curry missed this shot, he said to the Lakers: "You are lucky. You will not be so lucky next time."
.”
Really? The next ball Tang Qian turned his back to attract. After entering a deeper position, three people came to help defend. He immediately released the ball and the basketball reached the right corner. Standing there was Jimmy Butler. Thompson reacted
This time it was fast enough. With a twist, he flew towards the bottom corner, and then the moment Butler took action, it was perfectly blocked on his face. This is definitely an excellent interference. Under normal circumstances, such interference intensity
That's enough. Thompson doesn't have that extraordinary shot-blocking ability and flexibility. He can block a shot from a player of the same height from the front. Blocking a shot from the front is actually the most difficult kind. Anyone who plays basketball knows that.
, this kind of ball is much more difficult to cover than a layup, which hits the basket.
Not to mention the NBA. Butler has short hands, but that’s not what he is mocking.
Oracle Arena commentator Bob Gerrard said: "This is a very timely defense by Klay. His basic defensive skills are really good. If his physical fitness can be better, he should be able to compete for defensive positions."
Of course, it is enough now. With the Warriors' "five-small lineup", the mobility and defensive capabilities will be improved again. Therefore, it is not so easy for the Lakers to use outside baskets to shoot us.
"
"Of course, everyone knows this. How many long-range shots did they score tonight? They couldn't even get into the open space, not to mention this kind of effective interference. As long as they guard the defensive rebounds and then hit another one, they can beat them.
Hope is extinguished again." Another on-site commentator, Jim Barnett, said this.
Well, Thompson himself feels that the interference of this ball is enough. There is no need to overemphasize blocking shots. The true meaning of defense is not to block shots. It is enough to prevent the opponent from scoring. Thinking of this, Thompson did not look back to the inside.
, instead, prepare to start directly from the bottom line and rush to the frontcourt.
The Warriors' backcourt rebounding has always been what Cole emphasizes the most. They can do without low-post rebounds in the frontcourt, but they cannot do without low-post rebounds in the backcourt. Especially against the Lakers, they basically adopt a large number of squatting at the basket and rely on "people".
The method of "more power, more power" squeezes out Tang Qian's action space, and then relies on the characteristics of the "five small lineups" after getting the ball to force a start, and he can still counterattack defensively. This is also the "five small lineups"
What is difficult to contain is that after protecting the backcourt rebounds, they can actually initiate high-speed transitions between offense and defense again, and the probability of doing so is high, which is difficult for other teams to do.
Only five people who can quickly switch between offense and defense can have this confidence and strength.
"Little Kuailing" has really been developed to its limit by them.
Tang Qian is very strong, but when facing the Warriors' strong contraction of the basket, he also feels a headache. After all, other teams are so shrinking, basically the team's chance to play fast is gone, and he can rush back in time.
, positioned to guard the basket. But when it comes to the Warriors, the situation has changed. They can still play fast after shrinking, which completely feels like "cheating". No wonder they are obviously a fast-paced team that mainly focuses on small balls.
, but both defense and rebounding are excellent. The secret lies in these details. Cole found a solution to fill all the problems in this system. No wonder the Warriors were so strong when they came out.
The entire alliance is invincible.
It's not covered.
In addition, the Lakers lack the support of the defensive system, and they barely return. They are still in a state of unsteady footing and haven't had time to adjust. This way, it is easy for the Warriors to take advantage of it, seize the opportunity, and hit the ball into the basket.
But this time it was a pity that Tang Qian didn't even intend to run back. 1 to 2 seconds after Butler took the shot, a "swipe" sound was heard through the microphone near the basket and backboard, and it immediately spread throughout Oracle.
Arena. Needless to say, this sound has only one meaning on the basketball court, and that is, a goal was scored. Yes, Jimmy Butler scored another 3 points.
44-54, the score difference narrowed to exactly 10 points.
The Warriors passed and cut, and the baseline went around. Curry made a big circle, disrupted the Lakers' defense, attracted the pass, and the basketball went into Thompson's hands. Butler changed direction and pounced towards Thompson.
But when someone saw this, he passed the ball again, and the basketball was passed to Barnes in the bottom corner. Because the defensive formation had been disrupted by the Warriors, only Tang Qian had the chance to save the ball. Barnes took a look, and in the bottom corner
A three-point shot was made, but it was precisely because of this aim that Tang Qian rushed out from the inside and wanted to kill him with a slap. Barnes was also surprised by the speed and height of No. 29's save, so he sped up his shot and the basketball bounced
The shot from the frame was a long rebound, and Green got it. Green's shot went straight to the Lakers' basket.
"Oops, this ball gave the Warriors an advantage, and all their defensive efforts were in vain."
Zhang Weiping of Tianchao Sports said this. It can be seen that he also regrets this round. After all, the Lakers spent a lot of effort. Tang Qian even rushed out and finally blocked one, but still had this result. It was a bit of a shock.
The morale is unacceptable. At this time, someone decisively let go of his defender and assisted in the defense and pursuit. He was Jimmy Butler. Butler's ball appeared suddenly. Although Green wanted to stabilize it,
But after a physical confrontation, the basketball still came out of the basket.
The rebound was actually "stolen" by Curry, a little man. He happened to hit the ball's rebound path while moving. It was good luck and he got another offensive rebound for the Warriors. He directly basketed the ball.
He took a quick shot to end this chaotic round, but the basketball was halfway through the air when someone slapped him hard on the backboard.
It turned out that Tang Qian came back and gave Curry a nail plate hat.
"Great job." Tang Qian patted Jimmy Butler's butt and rushed forward.
What he said was not a lie, but the truth. If Butler's defense had not successfully delayed, Green's ball would have gone in, and Tang Qian would not have waited for Tang Qian to come back and nail the board to block "elementary schoolboy" Curry's quick shot from the basket.
Butler has been encouraged and his confidence has significantly improved. In recent rounds, he has made two three-pointers and successfully defended. It can be said that his presence on the court suddenly increased. And as soon as he has a sense of presence.
, Butler himself feels that his attention has been concentrated a lot. This sense of presence and deliberately seeking a sense of presence are two different things. One is to do well, and the sense of presence will naturally appear, which comes from the attention of the outside world. The other is to do well.
What about one kind? It’s entirely my own doing, with completely different meanings.
This is also a natural effect. Successful defense and successful offense can both bring about this situation.
Unexpectedly, after coming over, Butler just caught the ball and found that the defender had changed.
From Klay Thompson to Andre Iguodala, who is more courageous defensively, the latter's single defense has reached its strongest peak in this year's playoffs. He is known as the "FMVP who can defend" is not fake.
.James only has a shooting percentage of less than 40% under his massive single defense. It can be imagined that he is still the Jimmy Butler who transformed in the first year. Butler was also defended by Iguodala in this series.
, because except for the "five small lineups", under normal circumstances Iguodala is the substitute for the No. 2 and No. 3 positions.
It was normal for Butler to be targeted by him. This man with extremely clear muscle lines gave him a terrifying sense of defensive pressure in the series. This kind of pressure did not appear when facing the latter in the regular season.
Yes, it's normal. Since Cole took over the Golden State Warriors, Iguodala has been "dozing off" in the regular season, so of course there is no big feeling when he encounters him.
As for the playoffs, they are two completely different people.
The joke about Iguodala "playing only a dozen games a year" started when Cole coached the Warriors.
Just when Jimmy Butler seemed to be hesitating, a loud roar came from the low post:
"What are you waiting for? What are you thinking? Just take action! Fuck him!!!"
"Hit him!!!"
