Chapter 1162 The season starts with 2 wins and 1 loss
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"The Timberwolves are playing faster. Are you trying to force the tempo to increase? Director Zhang?" After Meteor Rain said this, the Timberwolves almost made a mistake. Zhang Weiping immediately said with hindsight: "That's definitely the case, but it doesn't seem like anything to me.
A good thing. Because regardless of simply playing fast, playing fast requires a lot of support. Otherwise, it is just playing indiscriminately. The Timberwolves do not have the capital to play so fast. If the opponent is a fast-paced team, it will be okay.
If your opponent is a slow-paced team, it means you have to have a 'tempo battle', which is much more difficult. Because you have to keep yourself playing fast while also affecting your opponent. This battle is pretty good in the regular season, but in the playoffs
A game is about missing a ball by a hair or a thousand miles... Oh, look, if you look at this ball and say you can't play it like this, just say you should throw it away. It's so unreasonable."
T.N.T TV station also said: This decision of the Timberwolves is very problematic. They are mostly newcomers and young people. Playing at such a fast pace that exceeds the load of their own system is a "tip of the knife gamble". As long as it cannot affect the Lakers, then it is yourself.
Influenced by oneself, defeated by oneself.
Sure enough, the reality was similar to what they expected. After the Lakers were not affected by the speed increase at all, the opposite Timberwolves themselves could not hold on at first. A large number of mistakes and misplaced movements became fatal injuries. This ball made the Timberwolves angry.
The team's head coach, Sam Mitchell, was always jumping around and giving orders constantly on the sidelines. However, the more mistakes he made on the court, the more mistakes he made, and it became an irreversible situation later on.
The Timberwolves' rhythm and morale collapsed tonight.
But even so, Larry Brown still wants the whole team to continue to play slowly, not to rush the ball, and not to give the opponent any chance.
What a cruel guy, but if you look at the overall rhythm of the Pistons in those years, you will know that everything about Larry Brown is preparing for the playoffs. Some of his concepts are very similar to those of "Zen Master" Jackson.
There are some similarities, such as this. In the NBA, the most important thing is the playoffs. Because "Zen Master" even argued with Auerbach on this issue.
Larry Brown also agrees with this aspect.
He also feels that the regular season is a long period of "training" and these 82 regular season games are just preparations for the playoffs.
So that's what he asked for in the Pistons, and he still means the same thing in the Lakers.
Moreover, the Lakers are a team with many strong players in one-on-one defense. He believes that there is great hope to recreate the glory of the 2004 Pistons.
It doesn't matter if the rules change. As one of the strongest defensive coaches in history, he knows very well how to respond and adjust. Otherwise, if he started coaching in the 1970s, wouldn't he have been eliminated by the times long ago? Can he stay here forever?
Come down, this is an affirmation of strength.
Barkley bluntly said that watching this game was a bit "difficult to adapt to" because the league is now dominated by small balls, and it is really difficult to see such a slow team rhythm. Even in the 1990s, it was unprecedented to be like this.
, so few. Kenny Smith even announced directly after the overall situation was decided: A new slow-paced team in the league has been born. After 2010, the Bulls and Grizzlies will have someone to keep them company.
The game finally ended with 92-85, 85 points, which was something the Timberwolves coach never expected. Because in his expectation, this team's average scoring firepower should be at least 100 points per game. This is
Just scoring 80+ points in one game means that the entire team is held back. They are as unable to move as a "sick wolf".
In this game, the Timberwolves scored the most points and performed best with rookie No. 1 pick Lang Towns. He made 10 of 17 shots, a 58.8% shooting rate, and scored 28 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks. Even though
There were 5 turnovers in the game, which is nothing to hide. After all, he is still a rookie, right? This kind of debut is satisfying enough and exciting.
However, I have to say that for most of the Lakers' game, Sacre was facing him offensively and defensively. On the defensive end, because Sacre was weak offensively and had little offensive threat, Towns got the
With a large amount of energy reserves, the offensive end can be played perfectly. Otherwise, the defensive end will also be greatly consumed, and it is impossible for the rookie Towns to perform at this level.
It's totally a "big advantage".
But fortunately, it is different from last season. If this point was blown last season, it would basically be blown from beginning to end. The so-called help from teammates was in vain. Now, the situation has changed. Even if Thackeray is blocked by one person,
If Towns can't be guarded, the whole system will help him rotate and assist in defense. This situation is also the difference between having a defensive system and not having a defensive system.
And this is only the first game. With Larry Brown’s training and adjustment ability, we will definitely have a better and better understanding later on.
For the Lakers, Butler had the highest score in the game, because Wiggins was too good at this point and defended like an open space. This is the latter's defensive level. Because of Wiggins' defense, Butler scored 23 points in the game.
With 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals, including more than 10 free throws, it can be seen that Butler's ball-handling offense has indeed improved. The offseason was not wasted in vain. Bosh took the rest.
At 16 points and 7 rebounds, Rondo scored 7 points, 10 assists, 7 rebounds and 2 steals, Nick Young scored 11 points, Pierce scored 9 points, etc. The Lakers played their first game without Tang Qian.
It got off to a good start, which also surprised many "bricks and beasts".
Because everyone thought beforehand that without Tang Qian, the Lakers would be sluggish and their offense and defense would be ineffective, but they ended up winning. This was really a slap in the face to these "big guys". But Larry.
Brown believes that a slap in the face is not enough. He is stubborn. When answering a reporter's question, he said: It is best to have a slap, but if not, he also believes that the Lakers are a team that can squeeze into the playoffs.
, definitely difficult to deal with.
If you want to win, peel off your skin.
This sentence was mentioned repeatedly later, and it is also a very famous sentence of Larry Brown this season.
Of course, Towns also said in an interview with a local reporter in Los Angeles: It's a pity that he can't compete with Tang tonight. I hope he won't sit on the bench next time. Tang Qian didn't pay attention to this at all. For him,
He said that Towns is not qualified at all now. If any rookie responds, why don't he be busy? Let's wait until this kid produces stable data.
One game is nothing.
In addition to the Lakers winning, the Clippers also defeated the Kings. This year should be their best and last chance. If they cannot grasp it this season, it is estimated that they will not be able to stand out again for many years to come. The Pelicans lost back-to-back games.
The Trail Blazers still lost 94-112, nearly losing by 20 points. Anthony Davis, the second player in the league selected by ESPN before the start of the season, improved a lot in this game, which was better than the last game against the Warriors, 25
He scored 10 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks. At the same time, "Brother Big Eyebrow" has made a big change this season, that is, he has begun to have the ability to hit three-pointers! In this game, he made 3 three-pointers.
It can be seen that due to the trend of the league and the dominance of some people inside, some star insiders have begun to consciously strengthen the perimeter. Anthony Davis is just ahead of the curve. However, his performance cannot help the team win, because
Someone on the opposite side scored 37 points despite the sluggish performance of the star Lillard and the low shooting rate. He was C.J. McCrum, who was only promoted this year. This third-year student finally came through. In the first two seasons, he had no chance at all.
He didn’t have much playing time, and the average data per game was ugly. Who knew that this season would soar into the sky and become a blockbuster in the first game. The Mavericks defeated the Suns 111-95, and the Knicks slaughtered the Bucks in the first game. Unfortunately, this is it.
This is a rare bright spot for the Knicks this season. This good start does not mean good luck for the season. This game of the Spurs has also attracted the attention of many people. After all, it is a season when the GDP era transitions to the "Double Germany Era". The team
The introduction of All-Star post player LaMarcus Aldridge in the summer has been claimed to directly complete the team's era. Like last year's Lakers, it will be strong for a long time.
It's a pity that some things are hard to talk about. Now that I have said it, no one will believe it.
If you talk such nonsense in St. Anthony, you may even get beaten in vain.
Aldridge played very poorly in this game, shooting only 33.3% from the field. No matter how you look at it, it is extremely embarrassing and somewhat disappointing. "Facial paralysis" Leonard has stepped into the position of the future leader of the Spurs.
, scoring 32+8+3+2 in the game, absolutely integrating offense and defense. He is also an extremely rare young star in this era who integrates offense and defense.
The Thunder's two young players performed normally, their two stars shined, and finally took away the game.
Many Thunder fans feel that it's time, and the "kings" have matured. This year is the season for the Oklahomans to return to the finals. The future belongs to the Thunder. Well, think of it this way.
Looking at it at that time, it did make some sense. The "two young men" were both young, and James was already 31. They had a lot to do in the future of the league.
It's a pity that there is no if. Let's not mention it for now.
The Cavaliers defeated the Grizzlies back-to-back, their first win of the season. James was unwell and took a truce in this game. As a result, the Cavaliers defeated the Grizzlies. This did make KING a little "embarrassed". It seems that without him, the team's operation
It was much smoother than the previous game, but it was just a game. James claimed that he was proud of his teammates. At the same time, James was photographed appearing at Maverick Carter's home late at night.
He is James' good friend and close business friend. He has been partnered with James since high school. He has developed many of James' peripheral commercial values. At the same time, he also founded a film and television group Spri with James. James appears here as Maverick.
Carter is negotiating for the company's latest reality show production "d.Hustles". James is planning to make a guest appearance in this reality TV series, which will be broadcast on BC TV in the summer of 2016. James plays a local entrepreneur in Cleveland.
is the story of four young business entrepreneurs creating more local jobs and opportunities to realize their dreams.
In the 2015-2016 season, James spent too much time off the court, and this is just one of them, so it is not without reason that his shooting this season has dropped significantly.
The rest of the Rockets also knelt down in the first game of the season, losing to the rebuilding Denver Nuggets. This game was a microcosm of the Rockets' season. The "modern combination" was considered a "replica" in previous years.
The combination of O.K.'s first center + first point guard seems to have drifted away, become alienated, and is about to reach the end of its lifespan. After the game, Harden and Howard "rolled their eyes" at each other, which was also considered
It is one of the signs of "breakup".
The Lakers faced the Kings in the second game of the regular season. They lost miserably. Larry Brown was so angry that he said at the press conference after the game: This is really the most rubbish defense he has ever seen!!!
It's really rubbish. It was blown away by the Kings. Even without Cousins, it still gave up a terrifying high score of 133 points. Of course, any fool can see that in this game, all the players of the Kings were on the line, so this was the case.
It is very difficult to win the ball. Anyone who encounters it will be worried. But Larry Brown doesn't think so. He believes that no matter how good the opponent's hand is, you can still contain it. If you fail to contain it, it means that your defense is not strong.
!
This concept was his core concept in Detroit back then, so for him, the team was scored 133 points by the opponent, no matter what the reason, it is unforgivable. It is said that it is more than that, leaving the post-game press conference
Later, it is said that there was another fierce "screaming" in the Lakers locker room. Larry Brown used words richly in his old age, and all the Lakers players in the locker room could not hold their heads up. They were spat on.
Completely submerged.
Nick Yang complained to Tang Qian afterwards, saying that this old man was too scary. He just lost one game and made such a fuss. He didn't see that the opponent's hand was so good~ It's true~
Although Tang Qian did not refute Nick Young, he agreed with Larry Brown's approach in his heart, because he also felt that losing so much, especially the defensive team, really shouldn't be the case. At the same time, he believed that Larry Brown also discovered
In view of this, the cultural and traditional atmosphere of the Lakers team is relatively entertaining and easy to relax. Therefore, people must "crack the whip" and "yell" from time to time. Back then, Bill, the "King of Football King"
How did Simmons and Jeff Van Gundy evaluate the 2008-10 Lakers? The most frequently used word was Kobe’s “motivation”. They even directly said that without No. 24, this Lakers team would be just ordinary.
Generally speaking, there won’t be many changes even compared to 2006 (the original words are not fabricated). It can be seen that the word spur is such a weighty word in Los Angeles and the City of Angels.
This is not like Boston, nor is it like Detroit. The culture here is too luxurious, which is not necessarily a good thing on the basketball court. It is even more difficult to sell O.K. tickets and have the last laugh.
Therefore, although Tang Qian was not scolded, he did not stand up to refute Larry Brown. He has been in this team for so long and knows what this team needs to inject. Larry Brown is obviously also here.
Did this.
It's a good thing for the team, so why would Tang Qian get angry? Isn't that a mistake?
It is worth mentioning that in this game, Lakers rookie D'Angelo Russell finally got a chance to play, but he failed to seize it. It seemed that he scored 13 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, but he
He is a point guard. He is not put on the court to score. Moreover, his scoring ceiling is not very high to begin with. Larry Brown has long seen this. Moreover, when he comes on the court in "garbage time", he faces substitutes.
At the water dispenser, scoring 13 points is of very low value. If his assist and organization skills still fail to come out later, then Larry Brown will never give him more playing time.
For Larry Brown, average rookies are not worth spending a lot of effort to train. It is a waste of time.
Sure enough, after some scolding and slapping, the Lakers' performance in the next game was much better. Their defense against the Mavericks was very good. The Mavericks' strongest player this season is the aging Nowitzki. But despite his age,
At 38, he still maintains great star ability. Yuan Shikong can still average 18 to 19 points per game this season, and it will be even higher in the playoffs. So, Larry Brown thought of several ways to deal with this team.
The method was to use a short man to defend, a tall man to defend, and hold the ball to increase pressure. In the end, it was found that the effect was not particularly good. His "Golden Rooster Independence" is too terrible, and it has not completely degenerated, so it is difficult for you to stop him.
So in the second half, Larry Brown simply used the elbow protection tactic to strengthen the defense on the wing. This seemed to be an attack against Nowitzki's request for the ball from the wing. In fact, it was to suppress the entire Mavericks wing and let them
The attack was transferred from the wing area. And the Mavericks were really "succumbed". After moving to the mid-to-high area to attack, they were defended miserably. Larry Brown's defensive system restrained teams and players who mainly focused on shooting.
Nowitzki tried to stand up again at this time, but missed three shots, costing the Mavericks the possibility of winning.
This tactical change is very subtle. It takes advantage of psychological factors and the factors that professional players and coaches usually pursue. It sets up a game and waits for the Mavericks to drill. What if you break through the hole? Then use pull.
In Brown's words, you can only blame yourself for not defending well! Otherwise, who else can you blame? For him, a "stubborn old man", there is a very abnormal system theory, that is: scoring = not defending well.
A basketball game is not a football game. How can the opponent not score at all? Isn't this a joke? But people just want to take this seriously. Because in essence, what he said makes some sense. If you are scored, isn't it because of defense?
Not powerful?
If you defend better, can't you prevent your opponent from scoring this goal?
Well, it seems that you can't find any attack vulnerabilities.
This game was another one in which neither side had more than 100 goals, and it seemed that it continued to be an "anti-era" style of play.
And in this game, our "water puller" only had a pitiful 5 minutes of playing time. He only had 1 point and 1 rebound in the game, and the rest was zero. This makes this person think that he is very powerful, and regardless of the original time and space.
The guy with extremely low emotional intelligence in both time and space began to show a certain amount of negative emotions. He thought this would attract Larry Brown's attention, allowing him to take the opportunity to gain a psychological advantage and raise some conditions.
After all, that's what he did in college, and it's the same in the NBA. When James returned, Irving was actually not so obedient. James just took a "negative approach" and deliberately didn't play as hard, so that the team eventually had to pay him for it.
Compromise. But...
Is D'Angelo Russell James? Is Larry Brown such a talkative "good old coach"?
This guy who made all kinds of "jokes" frequently in the original time and space is still happening in this time and space.
Well, he is already ready.
Ready to perform.
