In the second quarter of the first half of the game, Tang Qian scored consecutively to reduce the score difference to 12 points. Then in the second half, the Pistons finally returned to normal and were not as hot as expected all night. In this case, then
You're welcome, Lakers. First, forcefully block the Pistons' scoring points that are still good, such as Reggie Jackson, which further reduces the opponent's firepower. Second, help defend both wings as a whole, single-player delay in the middle + Tang Qian protects the basket
That’s it. The third step is to strengthen the frontcourt rebounding, because the Pistons’ game pace is not fast, just 2 to 3 people can retreat and delay the block. Detroit is not a strong firepower team. The faster the game is played, the more mistakes will be made.
More and more followed. The offensive strategy arranged for Tang Qian to continue to attack. Zhuang Shen's defense was useless. If he wanted to stop Tang Qian, his biggest tonnage advantage also disappeared. In addition, I don't know tonight.
Why does Pistons No. 0 seem to have fallen into a "half-beat" rhythm since the second quarter? Looking at him talking to himself from time to time and frowning attentively, I don't know what he is thinking. This makes Tang Qian's offense even more
easy.
Little did Tang Qian know that it was just because of his casual advice that Zhuang Shen, a "rebounder crazy", became obsessed with thinking about rebounding, which caused his defensive and offensive concentration to decline invisibly.
This made Van Gundy so angry that he almost cursed people on the sidelines, but this couldn't shake Andre Drummond's "rebounder crazy" heart.
Then after the Pistons began to vigorously help defend Tang Qian, the Lakers immediately scattered their lineup, waiting for the ball to shoot.
Coupled with several pick-and-roll transitions on the strong and weak sides, the Lakers quickly changed the situation in the second half.
The suffocating defense in the third quarter prevented the Pistons from scoring more than 10 points, but the Lakers scored a rare 30 points in this quarter.
All of a sudden, the Lakers were leading the Pistons by more than ten points. The situation was reversed in an instant.
Larry Brown is more and more satisfied with the Lakers' defense, and the overall tacit understanding is also very fast. Of course, he can also see that this is because No. 29 is the core of the defense, so the team saves a lot of time.
The speed of improvement is naturally much faster than under normal circumstances. Otherwise, it would take longer to reach this level.
In the end, the Lakers actually ended the game with a 15-point lead. From being 22 points behind to being 15 points ahead, there were 37 points here and there, which shows that the current Lakers team is much more tenacious than last season. A tough battle.
Hard-fought battles are the "whetstone" that strong teams need. Why did Kerr's Warriors, who wanted to go smoothly, encounter some difficulties? It's because if he wants to go further, smooth sailing will not work.
It takes hard work.
This is the case for any strong team. It is best to develop the spirit of the team.
This team spirit is not an illusion, specifically it is the most obvious and intuitive feeling that the team gives to the outside world.
You can also say it is a label.
For example, when you mention the Lakers team in the 1980s, you will definitely hear "SHOW.TIME". When you mention the internal and external teams in recent years, you will quickly find the "Lakers Dynasty" and "O.K Combination" in your mind in the early 21st century.
For example, when you mention the Kings in the early 21st century, they are "Princeton". Another example is the Pistons in 2004, and you will instantly think of "suffocating defense." This is a manifestation of the team's soul, forming a kind of
Something you can feel all at once.
The current Lakers team is forming this thing, a label that will appear intuitively when everyone mentions this team.
The Lakers lead the team's defensive efficiency list this season. This is only the first step. Since Larry Brown has taken over this team, his ambitions do not stop there. Otherwise, there is no need for him to come to the Lakers.
There is no need to go out.
He has not been short of money at all for so many years. Besides, he is so old, what is the use of so much money?
What he has to do is to try his best to build a famous team while he can still move.
In that way, he felt that his life was not in vain and he had no regrets.
In fact, let alone him, how many of these older coaches still struggle for money? The "Zen Master" went to New York just to fulfill his "godfather and president dream". Otherwise, wouldn't it be better for him to find a strong team as a coach?
Good? So does Riley, so does Phil Jackson, so does "Cardinal" Auerbach, and so does Larry Brown.
As you get older, your pursuits will become clearer and purer.
The Lakers are the NBA team that Larry Brown thinks he will eventually coach, so he has poured all his efforts into it. The faster the Lakers grow, the happier he will be, and the happier he will be.
happy.
After winning this game, the Los Angeles Lakers' team record improved to 15 wins and 6 losses, and the team has won 4 consecutive games.
After beating the Pistons, the Lakers continued their back-to-back road trips in the Eastern Conference. Their opponent was the Toronto Raptors.
Before the game in the evening, Tang Qian of the Lakers stole Curry's Western Conference Player of the Week award. Curry's 35+4+5+2 data were not even snatched away. The two are now clearly between the Player of the Week and Player of the Month.
It's a bit of a fight, and it's hard for others to get in. The Eastern Conference Best of the Week goes to Reggie Jackson of the Pistons. Last week he averaged 27+3+9+2 per game, shooting.
The shooting percentage was 56.9% and the three-point shooting percentage was 52.9%. The team only lost to the Lakers last week. It is not a big problem for him to take this honor.
After the Player of the Week was released that day, due to the time difference, the Warriors finished the game first. Curry scored 24 points in a quarter and 15 points in 2 minutes. The whole game was forced to clock out in 3 quarters, with a wave of 40 points.
The points helped the team end the battle. Everyone can see in this game that Curry played with a bit of enthusiasm. If the Hornets were not so bad and went directly into "garbage time", it is estimated that Curry's score tonight would be at least as high as
50+. In addition to the nickname Curry, the nickname "Three-Point Jesus" also began to spread. Many American fans exclaimed that they just went to a small toilet, but when they came back, Curry changed from 12 points to 12 points.
It became 40 points.
Curry has also achieved a historical record. In just 20 games, he has already made more than 100 three-pointers in the season. To be honest, Tang Qian can't believe this. This, there is really someone
Can a three-pointer be shot like this?
2 minutes and 15 minutes, more than 3 minutes and 24 minutes, let me go... I'm not kidding.
The short burst of power is terrifying.
What Tang Qian doesn't know is that Curry has actually done this in this time and space. Considering that he is obviously in better shape this season, this is actually a "so-so" answer. Warriors No. 30
It should be done better.
If you look at Mr. Joe, the boss of the Hornets in the original time and space and the current time, with a "lifeless" face on the sidelines, you will know how terrifying the Warriors 30 tonight is. To be honest, the combination of "Splash Brothers"
, it really made Tang Qian put away his "prejudice" for the definition of "pure shooter" for the first time.
There is a saying that is right, anything done to the extreme is absolutely powerful.
A pure shooter is naturally the same.
Those in the past were not outstanding and had a low upper limit, so Tang Qian would naturally appear to be limited by the times. Now with the emergence of Curry and Thompson, it can only be said that... the previous ones are not good.
His abilities are not that outstanding.
This opponent can no longer be underestimated!
Tang Qian even felt that this kind of team would be one of his most difficult opponents in the future.
In the game against the Raptors in the evening, Tang Qian didn't want to fall behind. The Lakers made a strong defense and control at the beginning. How strong? Let the Raptors star DeMar DeRozan make 7 shots in a single quarter.
0. Kyle Lowry made 1 of 7 shots in a single quarter. The Toronto Raptors only scored 8 points in the first quarter! Raptors head coach Dwayne Casey felt the difference right away.
What's the difference? The Lakers in front of us are different.
Compared with when we met at the beginning of the season, the overall situation has been strengthened a lot.
This is the result of the team's tacit understanding and team chemical reaction improving.
The Raptors were poorly prepared and were hit hard by the Lakers at the beginning. If they could not recover, the game would be defeated. They would enter "garbage time" when they fell behind by a big score early. Of course, the Raptors' head coach made changes.
He wants to hit the breakthrough ball, but now there is a problem, who of them can easily break in. Lowry? DeRozan? If he goes in, the effect of connecting the team will be greatly reduced due to lack of vision. The Lakers seem to know
The Raptors will change their formation like this, and they have already been prepared. If the opponent picks and rolls to kill, they will quickly encircle the opponent and cut off the latter's passing line.
If this move was used against a powerful No. 1 position, it would probably be passed down as a dog. Unfortunately, the Raptors do not have such a person.
Both of them are aggressive, and what they need to do in this regard is to drive the offense. Now that their offense is so strong, it is more difficult to drive the whole team. The Lakers' defensive formation makes them feel like they are diving in headfirst.
In the pocket, in addition to a lot of arm waving, there was only a black eye. The turnovers began to increase. The Lakers played steadily and pursued the success rate, and the score difference was quickly widened.
The bench lineup seems to be an opportunity, but the Raptors' bench lineup is not strong. Except for Scola and Corey Joseph, the rest are little-known. There is no dark horse. The Lakers' bench lineup is overwhelming.
Scola also used his footsteps to cheat a few free throws. The rest of the tactics couldn't be used, and the single attack was not enough. It made Dwayne Casey's head grow bigger. The Raptors
Now with 13 wins and 9 losses, it seems to be at the forefront of the Eastern Conference, but it is not safe. The competition for the top four positions is still much fiercer than the bottom four, and the records are much closer.
The Raptors now have two All-Star players on the team, and they have been working together for so long, so the higher-ups are asking for results.
Management cannot wait forever.
But the gap between the lineup and the team's physical strength was too great. By the time the main players started to play again, the Lakers were already leading by 17 points. Dwayne Casey had to struggle again, and he began to let DeRo
Zan went to play solo. This was also the last method that could not open up the situation. It was a universal method. But if it was done well, it could still turn the situation around.
DeRozan only made two shots when he found that he had no mid-range shots because the Lakers had completely blocked his mid-range shots. In Larry Brown's defensive system, shooting is the most strictly guarded.
The 2004 Pistons are a reference. Shooters basically couldn't kill them and their performance was very poor. If you want to beat them and penetrate the defense, only breakthrough players are better.
Ginobili, Wade, and James are all typical.
DeRozan also thought about breaking through, but his breakthrough was not particularly strong. Butler's defense made him uncomfortable enough. He finally got in, and there was No. 29 waiting for him under the basket. DeRozan took action.
He made 3 breakthrough shots, but none of them were able to go in. He missed 2 shots and got a big kick from Tang Qian.
There was no other way. Seeing that the game was about to end, the Raptors head coach could only choose to speed up the game and see if he could find the Lakers' openings. The Raptors also tightened up on the defensive end, especially with several sudden zone defenses.
, so that the Lakers' breakthrough ball was in vain. The outside three-pointer was missed, and the Raptors Lowry seized the opportunity and missed one. Brush~, the Torontonian hit a big outside ball instead.
At this time, Larry Brown immediately asked the team to give up air cuts and breakthroughs, directly pull away from all sides, clear the low post, and then let Rondo pass the ball to No. 29 for No. 29's personal attack. This kind of ball looks like nothing
Technical content, but if you can’t stand it, it’s easy to use. Don’t talk about him. When Duncan was still at his peak in the Spurs and couldn’t open the ball at critical moments, didn’t Popovich also say: Give the ball to Duncan
.
Compared with the fault tolerance of complex tactics, star singles are actually sometimes simpler and more concise.
If tactical ball is a "conspiracy", then star players playing in isolation is a "conspiracy". You clearly know that others will attack, but you just can't stop them, right? Because the Raptors want to speed up, they changed the starting center to Bismarck.
.Biyombo. Biyombo is only 206cm tall and has an abnormal wingspan, which can just keep up with the team's accelerating pace.
However, this player is also a player who relies on form. When he is in form, he may be unstoppable. Without form, he will not be particularly outstanding. Tang Qian has no way to deal with such a short inside man who is only 255 pounds.
If you hesitate, just dig after the ball. Because the opponent is shorter and lighter, he will move faster than the real big inside line, so... it is better to fight for speed than to fight for strength.
Since Tang Qian mastered the method of body flow, he feels that it is much easier to deal with the game now, and there are more game modes to choose and switch. For example, when dealing with a short defensive type like Bi Yongbo with long arms, choose
Facing the basket is not as time-consuming and labor-saving as attacking from behind. Just relying on strength and tonnage can help him easily gain the absolute upper hand.
Believe me, Biyombo defended hard, but his body was like a boat that could be overturned by wind and waves at any time. Whether it was offense or defense, he had no advantage. Tang Qian was one-on-one in the paint, and he also
There is no good way to think of it. Maybe he has been imagining it in his mind, but he just can't figure it out.
The Oriental center in front of me is too big and powerful. How do you block him?
During this period when Biyombo was knocked unconscious, No. 29 kept scoring on his head. He kept scoring. He had no ability to stop the opponent at all. It is so cruel. How can you defend?
Skills are of little use now. As long as Tang Qian's condition is good and his physical condition is not in danger, it really won't be a problem for him to play alone against a short inside man.
Biyombo was so blinded that he even felt that he was not defending now, but "ticking" his opponent.
This is the first time he has encountered this way of playing, and he can't help but think of old fans who say that Lakers No. 29 is like a younger version of the "Shark." Now it seems that it actually makes some sense.
Swipe~ After Tang Qian pushed out of the space, he hit the target without any interference at all.
The number of three-pointers from the opposite side began to increase, which meant that the Raptors began to gamble on three-pointers. The offensive and defensive strength of the Lakers made this pseudo-strong team feel...desperate. So they could only take a gamble.
"Ding-ding-dang-ding" ~ With the continuous hammering, the game began to lose suspense.
Not long after entering the fourth quarter, the score difference widened to 20 points, and the Raptors decided to give up. They were originally a pseudo-strong team, and their resistance to pressure has always been criticized. Now it is just a regular season game, and the Raptors
Head coach De believed that there was no need to fight with all his strength. Tang Qian scored and the score difference continued to grow.
After the whole game, the Raptors only scored 74 points. DeRozan and another All-Star player Kyle Lowry were in a mess tonight, shooting less than 30%. They will lose a lot if they lose.
A big responsibility.
After this game, everyone began to continue to praise Tang Qian. Even his opponent Biyombo couldn't help but said: "That Oriental center, he is a monster. No one can defend him alone. I tried my best tonight."
Tang Qian thought to himself, do your words bring hatred to me?
But winning is the most important thing. With 16 wins and 6 losses, the Lakers have now won 5 consecutive games.
At this point, the Lakers also ended their consecutive away games in the Eastern Conference.
But people's concern soon turned to the next game, and a national live broadcast was also scheduled. This game...
PS: I have been home very late recently because I have to do work for the third quarter. Alas, Xiaozi will not be in debt. Please rest assured about this~ Let’s make an appointment tomorrow~
