Chapter 1183 7-game winning streak and 15-game winning streak chapter ~ continue to break out tomorrow~
On November 22nd, US time, the Lakers played against the Portland Trail Blazers.
This season, the Trail Blazers lost All-Star big man Aldridge, and their strength has been severely damaged, at least yet. It has not recovered yet. The starting record of 5 wins and 9 losses is evidence of this. This is just the beginning, in fact, they are not very good this season.
It's better. Lillard has been liberated and his scoring ability has entered the realm of a first-class scorer, but his offense still has old problems and is not stable enough. With a three-point shooting rate of nearly 38%, the overall shooting rate is only 40%.
1. This means that, except for three-pointers, his other offensive methods are not particularly efficient. Breakthroughs are not enough to cause damage. His future is not as big as the Blazers management imagined. The Blazers' starter
The lineup is Lillard + C.J. McCrum + Mason Plumlee + Al Aminu + Noah Vonleh. The main insiders are 211CM Mason Plumlee and 206CM Al Aminu
.
Of course, in terms of height, Noah Vonleh is taller, so the two of them can take turns on defense at any time.
However, this is only Noah Vonleh's second season. His statistics are very dismal and he has not really gained the trust of the head coach. Although he is a starting player, looking at his average playing time per game this season, there is only one label, then
It's a false debut.
These two are also the most ordinary starting players in the NBA. There is nothing to look forward to, they are quite satisfactory.
Starting center Plumlee doesn't have to count on his own offense. He's very poor. He basically relies on picking up the pieces and scoring on the second offense. Occasionally, he has a brilliant hook shot. His rebounding ability is good, and he can only get 8 rebounds in 20+ minutes.
Unfortunately, physical fitness is a problem and there is no way to support it on the playing field for a long time. The biggest improvement this season is that the coordination ability has been greatly improved. Now it has temporarily become the first tactical pivot point in the Trail Blazers. At its peak, he can get on the court.
He has nearly 4+ assists, and he can be considered a top-notch pass supporter in the paint. But that is in the future, not now. He has just developed his ability in this area this season. He plays very actively and is not afraid of physical confrontation.
, graduated from Duke University, with very good basic qualities in this area.
However, he is also a space-based inside man. His main means of survival on the court is to provide pick-and-roll support and cut into the basket. His body is not thick and large enough, and his upper body strength is weak, so he often suffers when dealing with players with poor bodies.
At about 240 pounds, his height of 211cm is really very light. Like Tyson Chandler, if he were placed in the 1980s and 1990s, he would probably be more likely to defend the opponent's power forward rather than the power center. Plus
Basically, he has no shooting ability. He almost doesn't need to think too much about scoring tonight. It just depends on his luck and whether he can make a few mistakes.
Another royal member, Al Aminu, the "richest man in the NBA" who can play both the power forward and small forward positions, has excellent rebounding ability, but he is also too light at 215 pounds. This tonnage is basically just for rushing.
Rebounding or protecting mid-to-high rebounds, getting stuck under the basket in the penalty area and grabbing hard, it won't be a good thing if you run into someone with a strong body.
However, this man's basketball playing should be one of "pure recreation" or "real love". Money is not a problem for him at all. To put it frighteningly, he is qualified to inherit the throne of the entire country! What if?
Don't think it's too strange that the king of Nigeria becomes him one day. Do you think it's a scam? Look at what his father said to him before he went to the NBA: Son, if you are unhappy in the NBA, go home.
, no need to suffer, go home, inherit the throne and continue to create new glory.
As the country with the largest population in Africa, this father’s words are really domineering.
It’s no worse than “set a small goal first and make a small profit of 100 million”.
So he doesn't care at all how much money he can make, he just plays for his ideals or happiness.
Arnold Vonleh currently only averages about ten minutes per game. He is nominally a starter, but he spends a lot of time on the "bench" studying and observing. With an average of 3+3 per game, I don't know if he can compete for the worst in the NBA.
Starting player's throne.
Because All-Star insider Aldridge went to the Spurs, this team is now similar to the Toronto Raptors in the last game. The core style of play this season is based on double outsiders. Lillard + McCrum. McCrum is
He only played this season. As soon as Aldridge left, he was given ample room to display, and then this guy soared into the sky. He was the most improved player in the original 15-16 season, which is the MIP award.
All. From the 6+1+1 data in the 2014-15 season, it suddenly jumped to almost 21+3+4+1 data. The improvement is so large that it is staggering.
This is a typical inspirational example. In high school, he helped the school team play with a height of 158cm, and he played very vigorously. If this height were placed on the other side of the ocean, he would probably say "I want to play basketball" and then be treated as a "dog" by his family.
"Legs" must have been broken.
He has played in college for 4 years and has good tactical skills, but he also has weaknesses. He is not very strong and can easily be suppressed offensively and defensively by defensive masters who are strong and can keep up with him. He is also a character who will be hated by countless "Du Mi" in the future.
, because he publicly quarreled with Durant on Twitter, claiming that Durant's decision was soft, and the famous "surrender theory" was also carried forward by this guy.
I know that decision was soft, but I respect his soft decision. For example, it's like you and your brothers were beaten up by a group of people, and then 2 months later you joined that group.
Those who beat you have forgotten your brother and the experience of being beaten. Anyway, I can't do this kind of thing.
He was drunk when he said this. No wonder Durant and him never dealt with each other.
This kind of double outside core, when facing the Lakers this season, the first thing to do is to break the one-on-one defense.
Rondo and Butler are not vegetarians, and their defense is at the defensive level. The Raptors' two-shot perimeter shooter was overwhelmed by them. I wonder if it will be better tonight against the Trail Blazers. In the first quarter, it turned out to be true.
The Trail Blazers were in trouble with their two shots from the outside. Lillard was a little better, but the thin McCrum was nearly beaten to death by the strong Jimmy Butler's defense.
His 190-pound body compared to Butler's 230-pound body this season is basically a collision between a small three-wheeler and a pickup truck. Butler is indeed a famous "short-handed monster" in the NBA, and his wingspan is only higher than his height.
A little taller. Among black players, he has the wingspan level of a "third-level disabled". But he also has his own advantage, that is, his tonnage has always been maintained to a large extent. Especially now that he plays the No. 2 position, he is even more tonnage superhuman.
, Generally speaking, there are few people in the league who can compete with him.
He was beaten to death by Butler several times in singles, and his breakthrough was at a disadvantage. Butler is also very fast. So unless he breaks through in the first step, otherwise, if he breaks through in physical contact, his body movements will only become more deformed as he breaks through.
, either Butler pushed him into the Lakers' defensive circle, or he made mistakes, wasting a lot of offensive time. Even a breakthrough was directly blocked by Butler with a slap in the face.
Since singles breakthroughs don't work, we can only use singles shooting. Unfortunately, McCrum didn't feel good from long range in the first quarter tonight, so his iron sound in the first quarter was "dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang."
Edge isn't much better. Rondo is very fast and has extremely long arms. Lillard is taller, but his wingspan is much longer than Ron's. His wingspan is not shorter either, exceeding
He is about 13cm tall, but he is still not as good as Rondo. After all, Rondo's height-to-armspan ratio is one of the strongest in history. How much bigger is Lillard's wingspan? A full 10cm!!! So
It's not easy for him to break through and beat Rondo in singles. Rondo is shorter, and his steps and lateral movement are more flexible.
Even if Lillard managed to break through once, like this ball, the Lakers' inside line still had Tang Qian waiting for him.
This made the Trail Blazers play terribly in the first quarter, and both breakthroughs were suppressed. Fortunately, "Nigerian Prince" Al Aminu made two three-pointers, which made the Blazers' single score in this quarter
The score in the quarter barely reached 10 points. The Lakers performed well and felt very good. They scored 29 points in a single quarter and beat the opponent by 19 points in the first quarter.
It’s not that the Lakers’ scoring in a single quarter was brutal, it’s just that the Trail Blazers scored too little.
29 points in a single quarter may have been okay before 2010, but in the era of comprehensive small ballization after 2010, it was really not that good. If you look at any game, there are countless 30+ points in a single quarter, so this one
It can be said that for the Lakers this season, they played well in a single quarter. Tang Qian scored 10 points in this quarter. I really don’t blame him, because the Trail Blazers are so good inside. After Aldridge left,
, there is just a 240-pound Mason Plumlee, no matter how active the defense is, it is useless.
Now Tang Qian finally understands why when the four major centers were in power, every team was trying their best to accumulate muscle.
Because if you don’t accumulate muscular players with large tonnage, just these space inside lines are not enough for a “behemoth center”. The strength and tonnage can directly break the defense. No matter what defensive skills you have, the defensive skills are useless and will not be given to you.
Take advantage of the opportunity. Look at this quarter of the game. Didn't the Trail Blazers defend the No. 5 position seriously? His defensive enthusiasm has always been very good. But, is it useful? Like Tyson Chandler, he has a small tonnage.
As an insider, no matter how much you know, it will be useless.
A single collision will cause your defense to be out of position and the chassis to be soft.
During the second quarter, the Trail Blazers' substitute player, third-year student Allen Booker, went crazy. He is also a player who has improved significantly this season. He has improved from averaging 3+1 per game to the current average of 10+ per game.
2+1. And this guy has the attribute of convulsion. It feels like he can score 30 to 40 points. This guy from Yuanshikong once scored 41 points in 15 shots! Yes, you read that right, 41 points in 15 shots.
Points! The shooting percentage is 80%! The true shooting percentage is 108.1%! With this number of shots and this score, the current league is estimated to be the "Porcelain King". The Rockets can try it out on the 13th. So he can score a lot of points for a period of time.
It's commonplace, but it's probably not long-lasting.
Pierce still did not come back in this game, but Nick Young was beaten a little confused, which also made Larry Brown very angry. He directly replaced "Young Young" and asked him to think about how to defend well on the bench.
.The current Lakers team is not focused on offense, but poor defense is the biggest sin.
The Lakers played very poorly for most of this quarter. Randall was a little sluggish tonight and took too many mid-range shots. However, Josh Smith personally scored 5 points in a row and an assist for a 3-pointer, which was equal to the Lakers during this period of substitute time.
All 8 points of the team were related to him. When Tang Qian came back on the court, there were only 3 minutes left in the game, and the Lakers were still 9 points ahead of their opponents. Nick Young had been asking Larry Brown to play, but Larry
Brown was extremely stubborn at this time. He felt that even if the bench lineup lacked outside firepower, Nick Young would have to teach him a long lesson and could not let it go easily.
Otherwise, where is the majesty and prestige of his head coach if he goes back on his word?
Veteran coaches seem to be disgusted with "going back on their word", so they would rather get the team into a little trouble than play with a player who just made a mistake. Even Nick Young is the most powerful scorer on the Lakers bench.
There is no room for negotiation on one point. In this regard, he is completely different from his predecessor, Lakers coach D'Antoni.
Tang Qian changed the situation as soon as he came up. He first hit the Trail Blazers' Ed Davis in the low post, and then forced the Trail Blazers to quickly replace Mason Plumlee on the court. Plumlee
In fact, Leigh's physical fitness can only last about 20 minutes in a game. His physical fitness has always been a big problem that limits his growth, so after this morning, his game status will definitely decline significantly due to physical problems.
But don't worry, Tang Qian didn't want him to wait until that time at all.
Because for him now, is there any essential difference between Ed Davis and Mason Plumlee?
No. It’s just a matter of pushing away with a few “bang bang bang” sounds, and then looking for an opportunity to take action from a low position.
Tang Qian scored every goal in this quarter, making 4 of 4 shots from the field. Although he made 0 of 4 free throws, which was relatively unlucky, the success rate and certainty of the offense made the Trail Blazers scream inside.
.The Trail Blazers' defense this season was already very poor, and head coach Terry Stotts is not a famous coach. Now that they have lost All-Star insider Aldridge, they are losing more points per game than last season.
That's nearly 6 points per game! This result means that the Blazers' defense has suddenly gone from the middle of the league to the bottom of the league.
Defense is completely downgraded.
At the beginning of the second half, the Trail Blazers stepped up their attack on the basket, seemingly in order to cause enough damage to the Lakers' inside line and put them in a foul crisis. This strategy was also very common when it was used against "Big Shark" O'Neal.
Method. However, Tang Qian is not O'Neal. First of all, his defensive ability is much stronger than the former. Furthermore, his blocking and interference methods also make him less likely to be troubled by foul trouble. Therefore, playing like this is the Blazers.
Wrong person.
Tang Qian slapped away Noah Vonleh's low shot, and then in the next round, he first interfered with Lillard's successful shot through the basket, and then pounced on the "royal kid" Ai who wanted to pick up the ball and dunk it.
El Aminu was a hot pot. Not long after, C.J. McCrum was also blocked by the Lakers' No. 29. It seemed that as long as the Lakers' No. 29 was still inside, the team's restricted area under the basket was impregnable.
, extremely difficult to defeat.
Because Tang Qian's continuous defense at the basket was successful, at the end of this quarter, Trail Blazers center Plumlee went for a step-back + mid-range shot. Do you think this was Plumlee's own idea? No, he didn't The solution is to just rush in and take shots from the low post. The success rate is too low and the shot rate is too high.
Originally, the Trail Blazers this season were severely damaged, their system was seriously damaged, and they were in the process of being semi-reconstructed. Now that they have been hit so hard, they will soon be in trouble. Even if their head coach wants to arrange any tactics, he will not do it. It's very stiff, but it leads to more mistakes, and it's common to make hasty moves after running out of time.
The game started to be one-sided. Tang Qian was replaced after just over 3 minutes in the fourth quarter. Because he was already leading by almost 18 points, and the Trail Blazers' lack of morale, a comeback was basically a luxury, so the Lakers They removed their main players one after another. It was not until the end of the game that Lillard exploded slightly, but there was not enough time, so it felt a bit futile.
What's more, some people even said on the Internet that Lillard was using his garbage time to brush up data. He didn't get angry when he played as the main force, but he was more impressive when he played as a substitute. He was really "awesome". Lillard's nose felt a little bit when he saw this news. Angry, he directly said in an interview: If these people play a game with the Lakers, they will know how difficult it is to score. It is not just a matter of talking. It is my fault for losing this game, but I will definitely There is no intention to refresh data at garbage time!
Tang Qian scored 28 points, 17 rebounds, 7 blocks and 1 assist, almost reaching 30 points. It seems that 30 points is a hurdle for him this season. ESPN also called Tang Qian "a beast" His scoring has become much more stable this season, but his scoring ceiling is limited and he is not the protagonist who can help the team turn the tide at critical moments.
Tang Qian felt funny when he saw this, and replied: It seems that I can't do it if I don't get 30 points. Some people's skin is just itchy and needs a beating.
This "brick-minded beast" even bit back and said: Wait until you do it! Don't talk nonsense! We all know what level you are!
I'm so excited. Do you know what my level is? What's my level? You know? I don't even know myself, okay? You idiot, the next game will definitely not go so smoothly. It's just for me. Look at where I am right now. Oakland, that team is a huge hurdle that has to be overcome this season.
But before that, the first round of confrontation had begun unknowingly.
From November 16th to November 22nd, the fourth Best of the Week this season will also be announced tomorrow.
The predicted candidates for the Eastern Conference are James and Drummond. What about the Western Conference? Naturally, Tang Qian and Curry are the candidates.
Coincidentally, one day after the Player of the Week was announced, the next day was the Lakers vs. Warriors game.
So far, the Lakers have a record of 10 wins and 3 losses, 7 consecutive wins, and are fourth in the third Western Conference. What about the opposite team?
14 wins and 0 losses, 14 consecutive wins, oh no, the latest game report came out, shortly after the Lakers won, the Golden State Warriors also defeated their opponent Denver Nuggets, 118-105, a 13-point victory. So, It should be 15 wins and 0 losses, starting with a 15-game winning streak. Carrying the prestige of not having a single loss this season, the Warriors will play the Los Angeles Lakers at Oracle Arena in two days.
One of the most popular teams in the Western Conference this season, the grudges and grudges of last season's Western Conference Finals will be revealed for the first time in two days.
This season must be the season for the Lakers and Warriors.
Both sides are shining brightly, it depends on who shines brighter.
PS: Please vote~it will continue to explode tomorrow~~~~~~~~~
