Chapter 1171 It's Another Singles' Day to Fight the Mavericks
The second half also became a unilateral suppression game by the Lakers. As the Magic's offense became more and more ineffective, they began to be directly defended by the Lakers. This team did not have a single scoring master, and the strongest
They are just second-rate scorers, and they were "dazzled" by Tang Qian's defense all the time. Relying on Victor Oladipo, who is only in the third grade, is completely nonsense. He only averaged a few points per game this season.
Points? With Rondo staring at him the whole time, it would be weird to have any outstanding performance.
The Lakers finally won the game 95-79. The entire fourth quarter was substitute time, uh, it can also be called garbage time. Although Tang Qian only scored 20 points in this game, his performance was eye-catching. In the second
The consecutive 15 points in the quarter were the highlight. The Lakers won 2 consecutive games, and their overall record is currently 5 wins and 3 losses, moving up one spot in the Western Conference rankings.
Although Tang Qian was not present in the previous MVP rankings, almost everyone believes that the next time the list is updated, the name of Lakers No. 29 will definitely appear. This is also a matter of course.
Experts from all walks of life believe that there is a lot of suspense about the MVP this season because many people have a chance.
On that day, Tang Qian was actually being interviewed when he saw some international students holding fan banners with "Happy Birthday 1111 Singles Day" to cheer him up. However, no matter how you looked at it, he was a little unhappy. This birthday is November 11th.
Is it what I want? I don’t want to either. Besides, I’m not a bachelor now. Wouldn’t it be better to just say “Happy Birthday”?
Back in the locker room, he also accepted congratulations and small gifts from his teammates. It seems that since Tang Qian's status in the league has become higher and higher, the treatment he has received has also improved. AND1's official Twitter and many famous players expressed their opinions
In response to his birthday wishes, fans also launched a like campaign online, which was very lively. It is difficult not to let everyone know about it.
At night, he received a lot of text messages. After checking them one by one, he shook his head with a smile, turned off the light and went to sleep.
His life trajectory has completely changed and is no longer ordinary.
…
On November 13, 2015, U.S. time, two days after the game against the Magic, the Lakers continued their road trip, this time to Texas to challenge the Dallas Mavericks. The Dallas Mavericks did not have a very good start to the season, and now have 4 wins and 4 losses.
The aging of the team and the unfavorable signings in recent years are the reasons for the decline of the Mavericks.
The Mavericks have also had a bad year recently. The trade of Rondo is not in sync with the team. They tried to get Jordan but the other party unilaterally broke the contract, ruining this verbal agreement. At this time, the Mavericks have fewer people to use.
A vague sense of "twilight" began to swirl in Dallas' head, and he didn't know when the next rise would be.
As far as Cuban is concerned, it is estimated that he will not make any plans to completely rebuild until Dirk Nowitzki retires.
He and Nowitzki have a good story, and no one in the NBA will forget it in a few decades.
Tang Qian also respects the Germans very much, but now is really not their era. A new era has come.
The Mavericks' starting lineup is Zaza Pachulia + Deron Williams + Dirk Nowitzki + Chandler Parsons + Wesley Matthews. This lineup can be said to be from scratch
There were no outstanding highlights in the end. Zaza Pachulia has always been a soy sauce character. He has already reached a career high with the Mavericks, but he still only has about 9+9 data. He is 211cm tall but blocks shots and
You don’t have to put too much hope in protecting the rim, because it really doesn’t look good. How can a person who blocks 0.3 shots in his career be any better? Deron Williams seems to be famous, but it’s not five or six years ago now.
He is no longer the "little fat guy" who can compete with Chris Paul. After he went to the Nets, he quickly began to deteriorate. Perhaps injuries were also involved. Unfortunately, if he declined, he would decline. He was only 31 years old.
He has fallen to the level of an ordinary starter. He averages 134 points and five or six assists per game. This is Deron now. He is no longer the star-studded player he was back then. Chandler Parsons, it seems that he
His form was exhausted in the Rockets. After coming to the Mavericks and getting a big contract, he became a little tired. Every year is not as good as the previous year. With his current data and ability, he is just at the level of an ordinary starter. Wesley Matthews can't say that.
It's not good, but his abilities are there, and he can only average 12 to 13 points per game. There is no need to count on assists, because he is basically an offensive type. As a defender, he only has 2.2 career assists. This is probably
It explains the problem very well.
So looking at it this way, it’s already the 2015-16 season, and the strongest point of this team is the Germans, which is really unreasonable.
The Lakers have already played against the Mavericks once this season, but they have not played against Tang Qian since his return. After he greeted Nowitzki, he entered the game mode. There is nothing to say about the fight for the ball.
If Zaza Pachulia can compete with Tang Qian, then it is probably because Tang Qian collected "black money". So the Lakers naturally grasped the opportunity of the first attack.
The Mavericks had a very poor three-point shooting feeling at the beginning tonight. This is actually inevitable by accident. Looking at the data, so far this season, only one of them, Parsons, has made more than 40% of three-pointers. What about the rest? All of them.
It was more than 30%. The team's three-point shooting rate was only 34%. With such a shooting rate, it would be a series of hits if it was even close to death. Seeing that the Mavericks' three-point shooting had a poor start tonight, Larry Brown immediately adjusted his tactics.
, shrinking the defensive circle inward little by little, which makes it difficult for the Mavericks to get closer to the basket and then take a shot. What about the Lakers? They continued to play a slow-paced half-court game, but Butler caught the Mavericks'
Wesley Matthews attacked. Matthews was only 196cm tall. Although he was strong, Butler was stronger, so at first Butler overran Matthews several times.
When Matthews started to defend with all his strength, Butler failed to attack, so he continued to play Larry Brown's so-called "passing tactics". Pass the ball patiently until there is a chance. The overall defense of the Mavericks tonight
The performance was good, and the Lakers could not find a particularly good opportunity to pass the ball. Instead, they relied on defensive counterattacks and made two long-range shots.
At this time, Tang Qian took action. He caught the ball and broke through facing the basket. Zaza Pachulia was far behind Tang Qian in height and weight, not to mention his athletic ability and coordination, so Tang Qian broke through.
Go in, collect the ball and fight, then jump up and smash the basket with one hand.
Bang~
This extremely fast elasticity and physical confrontation performance prevented Pachulia from jumping up. He could only watch Tang Qian dunk into the net under his defense. This was also Tang Qian's first goal of the game. This goal allowed the Mavericks to
The home commentator Derek Harper could only say that Pachulia tried his best, but his defense was indeed not enough for Lakers No. 29.
The Mavericks want to have a breakthrough + counterattack, but it turns out that this idea is not feasible. With the Mavericks' current perimeter lineup, how many people can break through? Come on, the three people standing on the Lakers' perimeter are all very good.
He is a famous defensive hero. Whether it is Butler, Rondo or Ariza, they are all very defensive. In addition, there is also Larry Brown's defensive system behind him. The Mavericks have a tacit understanding of the team and the team's perimeter.
Only ability can break through. Once, Wesley Matthews even plunged directly into the Lakers crowd, and then the basketball in his hand was cut off by Butler's palm.
Rondo wanted to make a fake fax shot with this ball, but he got it wrong. This ball actually deceived the defender, but the "old Dang Yi Zhuang" or "experienced" Nowitzki gave up his defensive position.
He came over to make up for it. This time, Rondo missed the shot and the basketball slipped out of the basket. Parsons of the Mavericks wanted to stand up and "ride the savior alone", but his peak ability really stayed in Houston, at least
Before the second spring broke out, it was not so easy for him to beat Ariza alone.
Ariza was once taught very clearly by Larry Brown in this team system. Keep an eye on the opponent's shots. After breaking through, there are remedies if you can't defend. The team as a whole will help switch defenses or supplement the defense. If that doesn't work,
There is also No. 29 guarding the last line of defense at the basket. In this way, Ariza has relatively less worries. She is very tight on Parsons' outside shots. This makes Parsons unless he hits someone and makes a strong shot.
Otherwise, with his dribbling skills, he will not be able to create a better shooting space.
So he wanted to break through, but he forgot that his speed and explosive power combined with his height became very ordinary. He could enter the inside with Ariza, but it was a luxury to completely break through. He didn't know that he had it all season.
There are not many times like this.
He just used his height to push Ariza in, and his ability to protect the ball was pretty good, but he actually walked into the inside.
When he got here, Parsons was about to raise his hand to take a shot. The ball passed Ariza, but he didn't pay much attention to adjusting the arc. Therefore, how could Tang Qian miss this arc? He jumped up and slapped him down.
Rondo picked up the ball on the floor and added a personal backcourt rebound. He played steadily and deliberately delayed time, waiting for all his teammates to pass the half.
This ball Tang Qian turned around without the ball after getting stuck. Rondo immediately understood it, and the basketball flew high. Dirk Nowitzki wanted to interfere, but he was already unable to do so. His height is good, but his flexibility
He had long since degenerated. Seeing how high the Lakers No. 29 was soaring, he instantly chose to give up. He passed by Tang Qian, acknowledging that the ball could not be defended.
Bang~ Tang Qian's dunk was so powerful that it made the Mavericks' on-site commentators feel a bit like "a giant is coming to the world". It's not their team's fault. Zaza Pachulia can't do it, and it's not Dirk's fault.
Nowitzki chose to give up and continue to interfere with the take-off. Even if this ball was one step too late, it was basically impossible to prevent it. The change in tonnage and the increase in strength made many of Tang Qian's technical moves simpler and more powerful.
This physical advantage is really effective in competitive sports. Jordan's higher shooting percentage than Kobe is largely not a technical issue. Kobe is recognized as the person with the best outside skills, at least not worse than Jordan. However, the physical
The disadvantage makes his shots, especially those after fierce confrontations, far inferior to those of the Flying Dutchman in terms of stability.
Therefore, since his body has become stronger and stronger, and his tonnage has been promoted to a monster center close to 310 pounds, Tang Qian feels that everything is much easier than before. For example, the confrontation moves in the inside, he did it before and now.
There is a very obvious difference when it is done. Tang Qian is a person involved, so of course he knows the secret best.
No wonder so many insiders want to be promoted to "behemoth center" or at least "heavy center". It seems that in the interior, large tonnage is a natural advantage. He feels that his ability to make waves in the interior is stronger.
Don't know how much.
Basically he is not a heavy center, he can easily and easily defeat him.
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"Wonderful dunk~ Tang Qian seems to be more and more aggressive this season~ He seems to have completely shattered the rumors that he relied on Mike D'Antoni's system to achieve this level. Facts have proved that Tang Qian
Even in a completely opposite slow-paced system, he is still unstoppable and has strong firepower!"
"It seems that we all underestimated him. His ability to improve and adapt is actually very strong."
The Lakers led by 10 points in the first quarter, 20-10, which made the Mavericks play very difficult.
In the second quarter, Mavericks head coach Carlisle arranged a substitute lineup to play zone defense, and at the same time gambled on a few three-pointers on the offensive end. Don't tell me, it worked. The Lakers' offense was a little sluggish during the substitute time, and the Mavericks' zone defense played well.
This team is so great, I almost forgot that Carlisle, the head coach of the Mavericks, was also a very good defensive coach.
Before Larry Brown took over the Pistons, he was leading the team and gradually building the team system.
There was also the Pacers team in the early 21st century, which he also led, and their defense was top-notch.
Including the season when the Mavericks won the championship, they also relied on defense, a lot of zone defense and overall defense, and only allowed 92+ points per game in the playoffs. This data is absolutely top-notch no matter what era it is in. Nick Young's period
He played with a bit of anger, and he struggled with his own touch, which allowed the Mavericks to catch up with the score difference during the bench time. Seeing that the Mavericks were about to gain momentum, Paul Pierce, a veteran on the Lakers bench, immediately relied on his own spirit
Hardness, he forcibly defended the opponent's breakthrough, and then, with the ball, he actually played a one-on-one shot behind the back and stepped back from the baseline. Basketball, he talked trash while asking the Los Angeles Lakers players to retreat quickly, and the defense was
Be careful and tough.
After all, a veteran is a veteran and comes from the Green Army faction. This is what the Lakers team needs.
Nick Young is still a bit young and cannot fulfill Paul Pierce's role on the bench.
With Pierce taking the lead, the Lakers' substitute defensive intensity has been restored, even if their own scoring is a little "slower". But as long as the opponent scores "slower" that will be fine. This point, this joint, Pierce can
He understands it much more clearly than Nick Young.
Pierce knows what the bench usually does, and he just needs to get the job done tonight.
After all, he is older. He can no longer stay as energetic and go all out as he did when he was 20 to 30 years old in the regular season. Furthermore, as a veteran, even if he wants to perform, it will not be now, but next year in 4
Playoffs start at the end of the month.
It is not a wise choice to waste the originally small energy reserves now.
Larry Brown has no objection to this. He is the kind of person who trusts veterans and famous stars more. So he also feels that the greatest power release occasion for veteran players like Paul Pierce is not here. He can drag down
If the score is poor, it will be considered as completing the substitute task.
Although the situation is unfavorable, Carlisle never intends to give up the game. He is the kind of resilient head coach. Otherwise, how could the Mavericks win to the end in 2011 when the outside world is almost not optimistic? Until the situation is completely clear and calm,
He would not choose to give up resistance easily. He designed a tactic, which was to use the No. 1 position to cut into the corner, and then the whole team began to falsely expand and cut in a vacuum. This shot was still a bit quick. Deron's ability has declined.
But his body is still better than Rondo's, and he is ready to use his own strength to push the ball out of space.
This ball was given to Parsons. Parsons cut inside but it was just a feint. He wanted to attract the attention of the Lakers' No. 29 defense, and then choose the opportunity to release the ball. But for this ball, he did a feint.
He tried to move, but found that No. 29 was not moving at all.
It was as if... he had no intention of paying attention to his fake actions.
That cold look in his eyes made Parsons a little angry, but no matter how many fake moves he made, Lakers No. 29 did nothing. This time, his eyes were more like watching, playing monkey.
It's like saying, when are you going to vote, please stop doing this stupid and stiff fake action, okay?
I was really embarrassed to see it.
Parsons couldn't stand such looks. After all, his nickname was "Gao Fushuai", so he would shoot in the low post after he looked up. This made the Mavericks head coach a little speechless. Parsons has never been that kind of inside man.
A player who is particularly good at attacking is usually just out of position when playing inside. If these advantages are used against Tang Qian, how many layers of scum will be left?
As expected, Tang Qian gave the ball a big block, and the basketball fell into Parsons' hands again.
This time, before he could take a shot, Deron from the outside was trying to pass him. Deron made a little trick with the ball, without any pause after catching the ball. The moment his palm touched the basketball, he exerted force with one foot, and the whole ball was thrown.
He broke through with all his strength. This breakthrough was the first time he successfully passed Rondo, who was unexpected. By the time Rondo reacted, he had already been taken away by the opponent.
Damn it! Wait for me!
Rondo wanted to force Deron to the area where Tang Qian was. Deron either stopped the ball or there was only one way to go to black.
When he saw the face of No. 29, it became clearer. Delong jumped for a layup. No, he had not taken the ball for a long time. It was actually a breakthrough ball under the basket? The basketball was sent to the direction behind Tang Qian, and someone was there.
Get ready to jump.
Well, what a beautiful breakthrough goal, but are you sure you are not harming your teammates?
Tang Qian seemed to smile a little at the passer Deron Williams when he played the ball. This smile made Deron Williams look uncomfortable. After doing this, he turned his head steadily.
No matter how fast or slow you are, your jump will be a tough one.
Nowitzki's ball was turned around by Lakers No. 29 and blocked by a rocket.
What do those chic and freehand gestures seem to be saying?
My basket is my decision.
If you want to score a dunk, ask me?
