Tang Qian plays as soon as he gets the ball. He doesn't have as complicated technical moves as Towns. He just tests the center of gravity, then cuts inside, and then attacks the basket. Towns saw how "simple" the former was in this ball.
He was immediately overjoyed. He thought he could completely block the ball. After all, he was also 7 feet tall, with an extraordinary wingspan and height.
This kind of ball is too easy to play. Look at me...ah, let me rub it!
Towns wanted to slow down Tang Qian's offensive speed after physical contact, and then block the shot. As a result, he was directly pushed away by Lakers No. 9, and then watched the latter layup into the basket with one hand and score.
It's very simple, without too many steps or tricks, but he still scored under Towns' defense.
Towns will be the last defensive center among centers in the future. Although he can protect the rim well, he is also famous for being "soft". Against physically strong inside players, he is often unable to do anything on the defensive end. Not to mention Tang Qian.
This behemoth center?
He was almost knocked away with that push just now, and the weakness of unstable lower body strength was instantly exposed here.
However, Towns doesn't care about his failure on the defensive end at all, because he feels that he can just recover on the offensive end, and it is a good situation. At least in this league at the moment, it can be regarded as a "big trend" and "big trend".
Trend”.
So he gradually became indifferent, as long as he attacked and scored.
Yes. Towns's scoring is indeed very good, his skills are comprehensive, he seems to be able to do everything, and his shooting ability is incredible. Among the 7-footers, he is undoubtedly the top shooter. This season, he has also created an incredible player in the original time and space.
A big season record, that is, among players who have shot more than 1,000 times in the entire league, he is... the most accurate! Unfortunately, as King Notre Dame ages, Towns is definitely the strongest inside shooter in the league.
It's among the best.
His mid-range shooting rate from 10-16 feet exceeds 41%, and his long-range shooting rate from 16 feet exceeds 50%! The sum of the two items combined makes his mid- and long-range shooting shots account for 40% of the total shots.
Around! He can maintain such a shooting percentage on such a large base. He definitely has top-notch confidence in his own shooting.
In addition, he can also use the ball-handling style of the forward or even the defender to play by himself, which makes his shooting threat even higher.
Why is it that when defending other players, the Lakers can rotate others and let Tang Qian stay as close to the low post as possible, but this method is not so easy to deal with Towns. The main reason is that Towns is too tall, reaching 7 feet.
1cm, coupled with his long arms, ordinary players have very little interference with his shooting. This is also the reason why he can often play out of position.
Towns also has the advantage of being born with misalignment. Those who are taller than him are not as fast as him, and they cannot defend him. He can easily shoot to death and break through to death. What about those who are shorter than him? Suppressed by height and skill.
, there is also shooting suppression. Because he is shorter, the interference to his shooting will be reduced, making his shots more stable.
This guy is also the champion of the All-Star Skills Competition!!! This is the first time in history that this guy has won the champion of the Skills Competition!
So in terms of skills, Towns actually has nothing to say. Looking around the league, there are not many insiders who are more skilled than him.
To say that he is an "offensive kaleidoscope" inside is not to make fun of him.
He has the potential and qualifications.
Therefore, this natural dislocation advantage, or shooting advantage, allows him to come and go freely in the offense, and his offensive techniques are extremely rich, making it difficult for defenders to judge. Therefore, this kind of ball must be played by Tang Qian himself.
A misplaced inside shot, right? Yes, since no one can guard you, I will do it myself.
The Timberwolves used a tactical cover to cut out the ball. They walked inside to the wing and immediately reached the corner to catch the ball. This tactic can be regarded as one of the few good tactics tailored by Timberwolves head coach Sam Mitchell. Towns
This is the most difficult end point of this tactic to defend, because he can attack no matter where he is. This point is simply incomparable to ordinary insiders. The Lakers just saw Towns go out, and they all followed
In the original routine, Tang Qian didn't move, stayed in the low post, and quickly switched defenses to defend. Don't get me wrong, it's not that the Lakers failed to switch defenses in place for just a few balls. Except for one ball, which was not disturbed, the rest were defended by defenders.
When he got in front of him to block the shot, he was... too short.
Whether it's Butler, Rondo, Ariza or Covington, they can't take advantage of this at all.
If you really pounce too hard, people will instantly move sideways and dribble, move away and then shoot. Don't forget, Towns is a person who has the dribbling skills of the front line and even the back line, so he has too many ways to break the defense.
In addition, this guy's touch is indeed extremely soft, which caused the Lakers to suffer a lot of losses. Just now, when Larry Brown called a timeout, this factor must also be involved.
At this point, Towns feels like he is going to break the Lakers' defensive front.
Looking at it, Larry Brown also felt that this newcomer was not simple. He was so proud and had capital. He was not just fooling around.
However, since Tang Qian said that he would be given another chance to defend, Larry Brown would not refute his face. He just watched the change on the sidelines of the ball.
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"You have to pay attention to this ball. The Timberwolves' No. 1 rookie is indeed very good. As a big man, his shooting ability and dribbling skills are so good, which allows him to still be able to face the Lakers' defensive system with ease.
."
"Yes, Towns is not a traditional inside player, or even a space inside player. He is an outside player wearing the skin of a center. Some people say that he plays softly, but that is based on the inside standard. If you use the outside standard
If you look at it, you will find the difference. It is difficult for this player to defend, and any deficiencies in any aspect will be exploited by him. The Lakers already have many defensive heroes, but they are still hit by him with continuous shots. All I can say is, this
It's really a talent. It's normal for him to be drafted higher than Okafor."
"Na Yangyang, do you think traditional centers are lonely? A decathlete like him is the way to go?" Yu Jia asked.
"It's hard to say this aspect, because the most important purpose of playing basketball is to put the ball into the basket, choose the most suitable way to play, and then dominate the game and win. It's all nonsense about being lonely and being best. The key point is
, just to see who can have the last laugh. In this alliance, the winner takes all."
There is nothing wrong with what Yang Yang said. No matter what you do, winning is the last word.
There is no right or wrong, it just depends on whether you can be the winner.
In this league, winners define everything.
Just as he was talking, something changed on the broadcast screen. The Lakers' No. 9 suddenly lifted up from the middle of the road and stood in front of the Timberwolves' No. 9. This forced Towns to interrupt his attempt to take action.
.
Because the person in front of him is taller than him and has a longer wingspan than him, so when he projects like this, the interference he receives is completely different from just now.
So Towns wants to choose a breakthrough attack, because his ball-handling skills are very good, and he is always invincible against big guys on the outside. Beating a small man? Can't throw him away? Come on, you don't have to throw away a small man, break through
Once inside, he can force himself at will, and it is difficult for the opponent to block him anyway. To be honest, Tang Qian can't dribble to this extent. He can admit this openly. This guy's ball control ability is really incredible.
Like a 7-foot man. This means that under the intensity of NBA-level competition, he can still play like this, which shows that it is indeed extraordinary. If he is downgraded, then Tang Qian will still be very good at dribbling. It depends on what
Only below the level.
Towns really has some skills. Much better than that guy from the 76ers.
But...that's what makes it interesting. Let me see your real skills.
On the Internet, the barrage was also very popular:
Two 7-foot centers go to the high post for a one-on-one duel. Damn it, what are they doing? I read that right.
I bet this would be the beginning of a bad show in China.
It should be that Towns' shooting mismatch ability is too strong, and it is difficult for the rest of the Lakers to switch defenses, so Tang Qian has to come out by himself. Is it just like this, will it be self-defeating? Tang Qian is a bit self-defeating in his martial arts by being pulled outside like this.
I mean. Everyone knows that Tyrant Tang’s greatest strength is in the paint and under the basket.
Don't tell me, these people's analysis was very clear and logical, but they didn't get to the key of the problem. As for the problems they were worried about, you can find out just by looking at it. Towns looked at the Lakers No. 9 who had reached the high position, and he suddenly felt something in his heart.
I felt like "it's finally my turn" for a while. After being pushed down for so long, it was finally my turn to feel proud!
I have never lost against a big man in a high position. Just wait until you are knocked down by me.
Towns broke through, and indeed he dribbled very well and very quickly, but he was unable to get away from Tang Qian. Towns also knew that it would not be easy, so for this ball, he actually made a "butterfly through the flower" under his crotch, and then converted
In order to break through, he rushed from the left to the right. This action is really not something that an ordinary 7-foot man can do. Anyone who sees it will be amazed at "amazing". As the champion of the original Space-Time Skills Competition, you can often watch
Towns started to hold the ball from the point line, and then the 7-foot tall man who was playing against him was completely disorganized and his steps were messed up. The dribbling movements and layup movements of various defenders were all at his fingertips.
So just this point alone has turned many people into fans.
So different.
He hit the ball diagonally from the right wing. Even if Lakers players came to help defend him, he had full confidence in scoring after rushing up.
"Karl's shot was completely a guard move! He is so powerful. Although the Lakers' Dongfang Fang is dominant in the interior, but when he comes to the high post and outside, he has to bow to our new wolf king."
What the on-site commentator said made Wiggins on the side suddenly unhappy, because he just thought, Towns is the "new Wolf King", then who am I? I remember when I came last year, you called me that too.
Mine, right? Damn it! Did you fall in love so quickly???
Many people think that Towns' dribbling ability is too strong in this game. A center who can shoot from the high post and break through with skill is definitely a future superstar. There is a reason why he attracted so many fans in his rookie season.
, compared to Okafor's pure low-post play, his is obviously more entertaining.
After Towns saw the Lakers players who came to cover the ball, he switched hands for a layup, shot the basketball, and waited for the wonderful friction sound of the ball and the net. But the friction sound did not come, but he waited for the sound of a big shot hitting the ball.
, his ball was fanned across the air and landed directly outside the Lakers' baseline.
"I said, you don't think you can score so easily, right?" After Tang Qian blocked the ball, he said to Towns. This made the latter quite unhappy, thinking about such a good goal.
The ball was destroyed again! The Timberwolves sent a baseline kick, pulled left and right, and passed to Towns who ran to the outside.
But this time, Lakers No. 9 followed quickly, which made Towns "exactly what he meant". He made a small change of direction in front of Tang Qian, and then quickly cut in + turned + shot.
The basket. But at the moment of taking the shot, he still felt a cold wind blowing from behind.
This guy is really slow and can keep up with me. However, you underestimate me too much.
Take a good look at my strength, Dongfang Hot, right-hand pull-up layup!
Yes, it’s a pull-up layup. This action is also what Towns often does! As we said, he is a player with multiple forms. It seems that there is nothing he can’t do such as center, forward, and defender. He is known as the "Offensive Kaleidoscope".
Not for free.
Just this, I don’t know how many people will be stunned.
But about a second after the ball was played, he still heard the sound of a palm hitting the ball spike board. Towns turned around while he was still in the air. He saw his shot and pulled the lever for a layup. He didn't know when someone had given him a shot.
Pinned to the backboard.
When the Lakers attacked, Rondo hit a fast ball. After Bosh went down, the team's speed increased again. This ball seized the opportunity and hit a defensive counterattack. In the end, Robert Covington hit the ball from the right.
Side three points into the pocket.
"Do you have any other tricks?" Tang Qian smiled at Tangs who didn't have time to get back on guard.
Downs said solemnly: "There are plenty."
Tang Qian also said: "That's good."
The Timberwolves attacked and hit a screen. The ball did not go in. The Lakers got the basketball, but they were careless when passing the ball, allowing the Timberwolves players to intercept the ball. The Timberwolves got another offensive opportunity. This kind of
Of course, the ball also resulted in a yell from Larry Brown. Because the mistake was too low, he had to yell to remind the players to keep their minds sharp.
Both Wiggins and Towns of the Timberwolves started to ask for the ball, but Rubio gave the ball to Towns on the right, which made Wiggins feel a little embarrassed on his face. He is in the same grade and came to the Timberwolves last year.
, why does the team’s status seem to be inferior to that of a first-year rookie?
Towns holds the ball, still in a high position, one step inside the three-point line. This season, because he has not developed a stable three-point shot, his shooting range and attack range are still within the three-point line. But as long as he comes in, there will be firepower everywhere.
He can strike at will. This is also one of his major advantages. His firepower covers a wide area, far exceeding the normal C position.
This time Towns broke through again, but when he took action, he felt bad.
Could it be...that the other party let me in deliberately these few times?
Isn’t this self-confidence too strong? If you are determined, can you chase me?
Towns wanted to take a gamble, but he had just been blocked again. This made him rationally overcome his emotions and pass the ball. Wiggins shot after getting the ball. Butler defended very well, and Wiggins shot.
Missed.
Shi.t~ If you don’t have time and can’t figure it out, just give it to me??? Do you think I’m a garbage picker???
Wiggins was unhappy with Towns' passing performance.
He thought the latter should have been passed to him earlier.
The Lakers attacked and missed an outside shot. Tang Qian grabbed the offensive rebound, and then directly attacked the basket. Not only did he score the goal, but he also caused defender Karl Towns to get a foul. On the free throw line,
Tang Qian missed the free throw and the Timberwolves hit again.
Towns played the ball in the high post and said directly to Tang Qian: "Don't let me in anymore, can you be more serious? I don't like others to underestimate me!" "Oh?" Tang Qian nodded: "Okay, then.
Then I’ll do as you say.”
Then Towns felt tremendous pressure when he broke through. He had just cut in easily and no longer existed. He wanted to use his skills to restrain Tang Qian, but as he moved, he suddenly realized that he was not close to the Lakers' basket at all. Instead, he found that he was not close to the Lakers' basket.
It feels like it's popping out a bit.
This... isn't this the method and scenario for foreign players to deal with domestic players?
Domestic players just encountered European and American players with better bodies, so they couldn't use their skills, so they could only protect the ball honestly.
The result of forced adjustment is...an unstable center of gravity after the confrontation and dribbling errors.
Tang Qian actually intercepted a ball from Towns at a high position. Towns became unstable during the dribbling confrontation, and his dribbling collapsed. Tang Qian took advantage of the situation and made a touch. Towns fell to the ground and tried to save the ball.
But it was already a step too late. No. 9 of the Lakers took the lead and got the ball. This was also a rare solo fast break opportunity for Tang Qian since he started playing in the NBA.
If the center wants to make a fast break alone, there are really not many opportunities. Tang Qian doesn't want to miss this opportunity.
So, when he looked back and found that no one was following him, he turned around and made a 60-degree dunk!
O'Neal could play it back then, and so can Tang Qian. Now is not the era when Chamberlain suppressed his desire to perform. Now, what he wants is to perform. If you have this opportunity, why miss it? Tonight, including this dunk, is destined to be a success
Quite a perfect night.
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"Tang Qian stole the ball from Towns. He went down alone and was very fast. No one could catch up. He dunked. It was not an ordinary dunk. This was a 60-degree turn dunk~ Oh~~~~~~~!!!!
!!!!!!!!!! Go in!!!!!!!!!!! Turn around 60 degrees and dunk, center Tang Qian from the Los Angeles Lakers!!!!!!!!!!!!” Yu Jia
shouted loudly. Yang Yang also said with a smile: "It seems that one of this week's top ten balls must be booked in advance. For such a big man and height to do this action, how good the body function is, it is really amazing
This ball can lick the screen, it’s so cool~~~~~~~~~~
At the target center, Tang Qian followed the feeling and made a muscle-flexing gesture after landing. This made the boos at him in the target center instantly become more intense. But Tang Qian didn't care. His highest score in his career was in
The score scored here is also the highest score in a single game in the history of the entire Timberwolves home game, 64 points. Therefore, boos and other things will only make his blood more excited.
PS: I have been back very late recently, and I have to finish the quarter and start the new quarter. Sorry, Xiaozi will still break out on time on the weekend, and please give me more votes~ Good night~ I wish everyone a good dream~ (Unfinished
