Chapter 1206 Projecting the center? This is a bit interesting. The explosion is completed~
The Timberwolves also didn't play well in the second quarter, and the bench lineup was still defended. The Lakers' second lineup was not bad at all. They defended very actively and had good athletic ability. They could defend alone, top defense, switch defense, and chase to make up shots.
, the veteran experience is ok, even if Nick Young and Farmar are a bit inferior, the defense of the other three is enough. Because except for Shabazz Muhammad, the Timberwolves' substitutes are also average, and LaVine
He was originally supposed to be a good substitute, but unfortunately he did not appear in the team's roster tonight due to physical discomfort, so it is a bit difficult to rely on just one Shabaz Muhammad.
It would be nice if there was LaVine on the other side to absorb the firepower, but now the Lakers have to focus on guarding him alone. This season's Purple and Gold Army is not like last season. The defense is very systematic, unless Shabazz Muhammad
He misses big three-pointers wildly, otherwise, he will easily fall into the Lakers' defensive quagmire. And Muhammad's three-pointers are not good at all. This season's shooting rate is less than 30%. He is physically strong.
His breakthrough finishing style, but he still couldn't break through the Lakers' help defense.
At least the hit rate is low.
In the second quarter, the main players began to take the field one after another, and the Timberwolves had not yet scored 15 points. The Lakers' defense was really improving step by step as the season progressed. Because at the beginning of the season, Muhammad did not
Feeling so much defensive pressure.
This team's defense is so good that even if you want to attack, you feel like you can't do it.
The team with the first defensive efficiency in the league, and it is far ahead of the second place, is it true or not?
And... this is still a substitute lineup. If faced with the main lineup, Mohammed really doesn't dare to think about it.
Fortunately...I'm not the starter. He actually had this thought in his heart for a moment.
Wiggins came up first, and the Lakers made a sudden change of formation at the beginning, taking a pass on the former. Wiggins didn't notice, and by the time he started to resist, it was already too late. Because his body was too thin,
It is about 30 pounds lighter than Butler. It is too difficult to get back after losing the position. The ball was directly intercepted by Butler, or it was directly passed to Butler's hands. Butler attacked
, because Rondo hadn’t come up yet, so he dribbled over and played.
It's hard to beat other people, but Butler still has enough confidence to beat the "number one pick" in front of him.
This is really sad. The two No. 1 picks both became poor defensively in the Timberwolves. You must know that they were very good defensively in college. As a result, a team like this came to level up... The team culture quickly turned them into
Although now, "offensively strong and defensively weak" is a star trend in the league. How many stars are there who can combine offense and defense? So on the surface, it is not a big problem.
.But when they encounter an opponent who combines offense and defense, and the defensive system adds bonus, they will feel uncomfortable playing. Now Wiggins is accepting this unfortunate process.
He can't score, but others can beat him. They all have similar scoring abilities, and they are both at the threshold level of the league's top scorers. Why is there such a big gap? Wiggins really wants to cry, but he just thinks about it.
, he never thought about improving from the defensive aspect. Butler caused a defensive foul on Wiggins and made 1 of 2 free throws.
At this time, Wiggins began to gamble on three-pointers and threw in a back-up shot twice, which allowed the Lakers to widen the score difference even more.
The Timberwolves wanted to pass the ball inside, but it was cut off by Covington. Butler hit Wiggins again and scored again!
After such a series of consecutive games, Butler needs to slow down a little. After all, he still has to defend, unlike his opponent Wiggins, who only needs to attack and not defend. If he dares to do this, Larry. Brown told him to roll down to die within seconds.
The Timberwolves replaced their starting point guard Rubio again. Rubio led the team to a 7-0 spurt, and the team scored more than 20 points. It was really gratifying. At this time, the Lakers played Rondo. Tang Qian, the Timberwolves also replaced Towns. Now that most of the main players of both sides are back, the substitute time is slowly coming to an end. Rubio used the pick-and-roll to break through Rondo once, but he was eliminated before he could go far. The Lakers were double-teamed, and the Lakers were brave enough to let Wiggins go. Rubio struggled to pass the ball, because Butler came to defend, so only the 4th position was available to cover the ball.
Who is No. 4 now? It's not Bosh, but Robert Covington.
Covington has a good defensive sense for this ball, and he is also quick to break out of the defense. With a height of 206cm and a wingspan of 218cm, he has both speed and defensive radiation range. His timely appearance was something Wiggins did not expect. The ball was greatly disturbed, and you knew it wouldn't go in as soon as you took the shot. The Lakers attacked, Tang Qian cut in and passed out, and Ariza dribbled and stopped and made a mid-range shot.
The Timberwolves also wanted to play pass-and-cut, but they found that the Lakers gave them no gaps to exploit.
This lineup seems to be even more terrifying on the defensive end than the previous starting lineup.
I can't open the pass and cut. I can't speed up the speed. I want to use the pick-and-roll to break through, but I'm blocked by the Lakers. The latter team's switching defense ability has been upgraded again! This makes the Timberwolves The players on the team are starting to curse. Hey, hey, hey, please, this is the offensive era. It's really inappropriate for you to play like this.
Can't you just let us score a few goals?
The answer is, no.
Larry Brown watched from the sidelines. Although he did not take action, his mind was running rapidly. He was observing and thinking about the flaws and room for improvement in this lineup. To be honest, this lineup is just for... …
And he is currently studying a super defensive tactic. This super defensive tactic requires this lineup to support it.
Well, this guy with a basic salary is pretty good, but I underestimated him. His defensive potential is quite big.
Haha, the Houston Rockets actually let this kind of player go like this back then? Are you crazy?
But thinking about the Rockets' mistakes and mistakes in signings over the years, Larry Brown feels relieved. Morey is a typical data controller, and he himself has admitted this, so everything is just a matter of fact. Data theory. Morey is the founder of the "2k theory". He forced the Knicks to recruit Jordan Hill, but it turned out that Jordan Hill didn't have the strength he had in college at all. He was just an ordinary guy. Just substitute players. Then there are Jeremy Lin, Tyler Ennis, and replacing Battier with Hashim Thabeet, McDaniels, Ty Lawson, etc. There are countless others, and there is no Covington. What's not allowed.
But we have to watch a few more games to realize that the Timberwolves are still too weak after all and have not been regarded as a real opponent by Larry Brown.
It is a fact that there are many potential players and even potential stars, but if they are unable to produce, the team is in chaos as a whole. Larry Brown pays more attention to the actual situation. Players who have not produced, teams who have not performed well, and good cards,
He didn't take it seriously at all. Otherwise, how could he lead the "civilian Pistons" to defeat the "gorgeous Lakers F4" back then?
Just rely on being pragmatic.
After several consecutive rounds of hard work, the Lakers have widened the score difference to 19 points. Even if the Timberwolves sometimes convulse and score a few three-pointers, it cannot change the overall situation. And before that, the situation is broken.
As I said, this Timberwolves team shoots very few three-pointers, and their shooting percentage is not high. It is simply impossible to rely on three-pointers to recover from the situation.
Therefore, in order to hold on to the score and drag the suspense into the second half, we still need to find a stable scoring point to score.
Three-pointers are not a powerful weapon for a team that averages 15+ three-pointers per game and has a 33% hit rate.
On the empty side, Towns received the ball. Tang Qian looked at the Timberwolves' No. 32 and said, "What are you going to do? Rookie."
Towns just tried to face the basket to break through the pick-and-roll, pick-and-roll, post-attack and other shooting methods, but they didn't feel very good. So far, he has not scored 1 point. Is he also going to be blocked in the first half?
Want to become a miserable existence like Okafor of the 76ers? No, I am different from him. I will be the number one center in the league in the future, and my offensive methods are a hundred times richer than Okafor!
So he thought of a way, which ordinary centers can't do, and shot directly.
Attack with projection.
Brush~
Went in.
Tang Qian was a little surprised by him, because he didn't expect this guy to dare to play like this. The Lakers didn't score in the next round, and the Timberwolves' rebound gave it to Towns. This time, Towns directly dribbled the ball to the back.
Pull, I thought it was a breakthrough, but it was another mid-range shot.
Brush~
Come in again!
Score 4 points in a row!
The target center suddenly ignited with enthusiasm, which also made Downs feel that he had regained his confidence and said: "See? I am different from them, and I am different from you! I am a true all-rounder.
Center!" After saying that, he turned around and left. When he left, he made a celebration gesture towards the audience, which raised the atmosphere of the audience again. Tang Qian looked at the man's back and murmured: "Projection
So capable? Let’s see again.”
Covington missed a three-pointer and the Timberwolves attacked. Tang Qian obviously stood up a little more this time, but who knew that this time the Timberwolves' No. 32 dribbled the ball further back, and the ball was probably at 22~
At 23 feet, there is one more point, and it will be out of the three-point line. Raise your hand, the basketball will fly out, and then hit.
"Carl Downs!!!!!!!!!!!!" A shout came from the sound system at the target center, which was the voice of the on-site commentator.
You don’t have to look at it to know that I’m very excited, because Towns’ three consecutive goals were so crucial and boosted morale. In addition, the Lakers’ offensive miss helped the Forest team recover a lot of points. And the Lakers’
Bian, who would have thought that there would be a problem in the C position? This is a situation that rarely occurs so far.
Tang Qian is the defensive core of this team, the Dinghai Shenzhen. If he is defeated, the defensive system will be greatly affected.
Can he actually shoot from such a distance? And be so accurate? This guy has such a strong shooting ability.
It's normal for Tang Qian to be surprised. This season, Towns has taken close to 30% of his long-distance 2-point shots, and his hit rate is promising, as high as 50%. Yes, you read that right, it's an incredible 50%!!! No matter how you say it.
Yeah, it's too accurate!!! It has reached the top level of mid-range shooting among inside players in the league. Regardless of the difficulty of the shot, there are few outside players who can match him. Even Bosh is good at shooting.
, there is only one season in my career that I can surpass at this point, and the rest are all inferior.
And don't forget, he is taller than Bosh, and his shots are more difficult to be interfered with and blocked.
"Dongfang Tang, did you see it? This is my counterattack! This game has just begun!!!" Towns scored three goals in a row. It's normal to be a little bit pissed off. After all, he is still an American player and does not pay so much attention to "respect."
"Old and loving" and "modest and low-key". Of course, the most important thing is that Towns' projection ability is indeed strong and accurate.
He hasn't developed a three-point shot this season yet, and he will have even more invincible range in the future.
Larry Brown was about to call a timeout, because the core of his own defense was being scored consecutively. He thought he should call a timeout to slow down and adjust his condition. However, Tang Qian on the court looked at him and then made a move.
Waving his hand, the meaning is already very clear. Lakers No. 29 is saying, no need.
Really? Can you handle it? Then I'll give you another chance to see if your performance allows me to terminate this suspension.
Regarding the request of the core players, Larry Brown chose to take care of it once, but only this time. If it didn't work, he would immediately suspend it without discussion. He was not a head coach like "Zen Master" or "Kerr" and could not give such a request.
Opportunities to make mistakes.
This is Tang Qian. If it were anyone else, he wouldn't even think about it. He wouldn't even have a chance and would just stop.
Penguin webcast.
His shooting ability is so good? The longer he shoots, the farther he hits? He even hit 3 in a row! This Towns is really not easy. He is worthy of his No. 1 pick and is better than Okafor.
Is this an eye-opener? Have you suddenly become a striker?
No, let alone the striker, many outside players were not as good as those few goals just now. They are amazing.
It's hard for Tang Ji to play. He encountered such a freak. I hope the team can make adjustments as soon as possible.
It’s so cruel! Tang Si has awakened! Tonight he will not lose to Tang Qian! Tang’s short shot is dangerous~
You black man, get out of here. If Tang Qian doesn't fight well, you will be there. You'll be in trouble, right?
What? You're so bad that you don't allow people to spray? You Tang Mi, you are so anxious to clear the ground for Tang Qian. Are you ready to confuse right and wrong? How ridiculous! I have said before that Tang Qian is not that magical, as long as he comes
A center who can shoot can break what you call the "absolute defensive field." Unfortunately, such a person has appeared now, and he is Towns and Tang Qian's future nemesis.
Tianchao Sports Channel.
Yu Jia also said anxiously: "I didn't expect Towns to shoot so accurately. Now the Lakers are in trouble. Ordinary switching defenses won't work." Yangyi also nodded: "Yes, because Towns is too tall.
, when ordinary short players switch to defense, they actually don’t put much defensive pressure on the former. Only big men must come out to provide enough defensive threat and defensive interference.”
"If the Lakers can't guard against this, Towns may really lead the team to life."
"That would be difficult."
But Tang Qian didn't worry about these, because at this moment, he felt a little excited and energetic. The rookie center No. 32 on the opposite side finally prevented him from playing so easily and finishing the game without even breaking a sweat.
Contest.
When the Lakers attacked, Tang Qian reached the low post and suddenly said: "Okay, I remember your face. You are indeed better than the center of the 76ers." Just as Towns' face said "Then
With an expression of "Of course", Tang Qian continued: "I will be more serious with you, because you have the qualifications."
"Rajan~Pass~PASS~"
