Because Larry Brown's position this season is to run the whole team, he is also a head coach who emphasizes the team. The biggest thing Popovich learned from him is here. Usually, the team is greater than the individual. This is also
The Pistons in 2004 were known as the most "shabby" championship lineup in history. What they relied on was definitely not individual ability, but overall performance.
Because those people are just like that if they are taken alone, they won't be too outstanding.
Including Ben Wallace, without the overall support of the Pistons, what will happen to him? He fell off a cliff and quickly disappeared from everyone.
Although there is a superstar player like Tang Qian in the team, Larry Brown also asked him to lead the team. Tang Qian listened to Kobe's words and deeds, so he was happy to do so. All he wanted was victory, and
That golden Larry O'Brien Cup. Kobe's style of play when he led his team to three consecutive finals, and Jordan's style of play for six championships. This is what he is learning and doing now.
But what if the team can't open up the situation? What should we do? Should we still play like this? No, that's called "passing the blame". When your teammates can't open up the situation, you, the team leader, should be responsible for it.
It's time to stand up.
At this time, it is time to fight to death.
Use your personal abilities to solve a wave of problems.
But now, when the Lakers have reached this point, Tang Qian should take action.
Didn’t you, the Hornets, start to play really well? Didn’t you bully our team that they can’t guard you now at the 1st position? Well, then I will come and destroy your team’s inside line and dominate your team’s penalty area.
.Just when the Hornets fans were satisfied with the excellent performance of the home team, someone came out to wake them up from their sweet dreams. The Lakers' No. 29 insider asked for the ball. After receiving the ball, they started to attack.
Tang Qian really didn't pay attention to the people who defended him. Cody, who averaged 8+6 per game, averaged less than 1 block per game. Even if such a person was twice as strong, he would not take advantage of Tang Qian.
There is no potential for any impact. With a push and a squeeze, a wide space will appear, and then you can easily take a low shot.
The Lakers tied the game.
The opponent still plays Farmar, brush, and then go in~ In this game, Kemba Walker scored 40 points in the original time and space, so it is not surprising that it is good. Farmar is indeed not his opponent.
There's nothing much to say about Tang Qian coming here, just playing. Because it's too easy to play, many people feel that their team's main center is "doing the work but not putting in the effort."
But Cody Zeller was really wronged. He swore that he defended carefully, but he just failed to defend.
He only weighs about 240 pounds. How can he fight in the low post with his opponent's "behemoth center" who weighs close to 310 pounds?
Doesn't this cost his life?
What's more, in addition to tonnage, Tang Qian's strength is also the strongest in history. Cody Zeller is not a "strength hero" at all. So such a result is simply expected. The Hornets
The team also did not adopt a strong defense, because they knew that the Lakers were just waiting for them to pass, which would allow the entire team to open up.
Tang Qian's passing and shooting are not at the level of ordinary insiders.
Therefore, the two sides entered into a mismatched offensive battle between core players. That is, Tang Qian on the inside and Kemba Walker on the outside faced off against each other.
Both sides are succeeding in succession. Tang Qian was surprised by Kemba Walker's state tonight. After all, this guy is averaging over 20 points per game this season. This state tonight is obviously a bit "over the top"
Okay. But, so what? Tang Qian didn't feel worried at all. Instead, he became energetic and said:
Then let's see who can't hold on first.
Until the first half, the score difference between the two sides was still close, only 2 points.
What can you do if someone is playing your No. 1 position in isolation? In addition, Butler, another defensive general of the Lakers, is also absent tonight, which reduces the chemistry of the team's starting lineup. If Rondo and
Butler is here. Let’s not talk about whether Kemba Walker can still break out. Even if he breaks out, he can still suppress the opponent through continuous pressure, corner defense, or setting up defensive traps. But these two are missing.
Personally, the Lakers' perimeter defense immediately dropped. Ariza's defense is still OK. Although Farmar and Josh Smith have good attitudes now, there is still a gap between their defensive capabilities and the first two.
Those two people have shown their ability to defend properly this season.
If Farmar + Josh Smith could do it, they wouldn't be here.
That's why Kemba Walker, who was in explosive form, took advantage of a loophole.
But Tang Qianqian's words in the locker room are: don't bother to change the defensive formation. This will make the mixed lineup that is not tacitly compatible become even less tacit. The opponent is basically waiting for us to change the lineup and increase the intensity of defense.
, so that their No. 1 position can easily play the ball and connect the entire team. Therefore, the best way now is not to make any changes.
Play hard against them. As long as their No. 1 position fails tonight, the situation will change immediately.
That's true, but what if it hasn't been used up? Wouldn't that be...
Larry Brown asked this question directly: Can you outlast him? Can you change the opponent's defensive formation before he does?
Of course there is no problem. Tang Qian is very confident: As for their inside players, I can easily defeat them.
Seeing what Tang Qian said, Larry Brown agreed with Tang Qian's opinion and did not change the formation and not vigorously help defend the opponent's No. 1 position, which was Kemba Walker who performed extremely well in the first half.
.This made some people on Tianchao Sports Channel feel dissatisfied at the beginning of the second half: Why haven't we changed our defense? The No. 1 position was already beaten in the first half.
What is Larry Brown thinking?
Although they are professional sports hosts and senior commentators, compared with real NBA head coaches, they are just like "laymen". If everything is as they think, then the owner of tens of millions of dollars will
Isn't it easy to get a coaching contract? Moreover, many things in official competitions rely on a little bit of "gambling". If you want everything to be smooth, it is simply impossible.
People like Popovich often take risks and gamble, and Larry Brown is not stubborn.
Because he also thinks that what Lakers No. 29 just said in the locker room is no problem. Now whoever starts to change the defensive formation first will be at another disadvantage on the defensive end. If the rest of the opponent
If the touch is also open, then the game will be irreversible. Regardless of whether it is a strong team or a weak team, one of the teams that are most afraid of playing is...
If the opposing team's hand is turned on, no matter how weak the team is, it will become difficult to match.
The Lakers are a slow-paced team, and they are even more taboo about this, so Tang Qian's suggestion is not a whim or a hot-headed one.
Tang Qian started squeezing and squeezing, forcing down the opponent's center defense. He didn't even bother to change his moves at all, he just did it all with one move. This made the Hornets' No. 5 position really want to cry. I've never seen anything like this, you
Isn’t that too bullying? If you do this, do you think I am an NBA player???
Finally, a few minutes later, Kemba Walker began to see a decline in his shooting percentage. This is normal. Even if his shooting percentage in this game exceeded 55%, close to 60%, so what? This is just Tang Qian's basic shooting percentage.
Even Tang Qian's basic shooting percentage is not as good as that. Compared with stability, are you sure you have played with the Lakers' No. 29?
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Lakers were widening the score difference, and the Hornets' head coach Steve Clifford began to change the defensive formation, no longer using the team's 7-time big man Cody Zeller as a defense.
First, let the rest of the team increase their defensive efforts. In this way, the rest of the Lakers can be freed up. Tang Qian and others came over, and as soon as the ball was passed, Bosh took the ball.
Brush~
Nice assist.
"Well done! Chris! Kill your opponent!" Tang Qian also loudly encouraged his teammates. In this game, he felt that he had to be more stable. The head coach Larry Brown off the court also nodded slightly when he saw this, seeming to think that the Lakers were 29
No. 1 showed quite a bit of lust tonight.
This is not only reflected in the dry data, but also in the Lakers' control of the overall trend and team strategy on the 29th. If the Lakers had just taken the lead in changing, then it is very likely that the opposite situation will occur now.
.
The chemical reaction between Bosh and Tang Qian is getting better and better now. If the two of them work well together, they can cause the opponent's inside line to collapse. You said you were too tight on guarding Tang Qian. When someone passed the ball to Bosh, Bosh was really timely.
That's accurate. You said you can't help defend the Lakers 29. Well, this ball the Lakers 29 will immediately hit the team's 5th position.
This is really a dilemma, and I don’t know how to prevent it.
Kemba Walker saw that the score difference in the game was getting wider and wider, and he was a little anxious. The Hornets had not scored several goals. He must help the team score a point now. After the long-range shooting feeling declined,
He doesn't have many options anymore, he can only break through inside. His breakthrough is still very good. Although the ending is very problematic, the breakthrough process is not ambiguous. The Lakers' Farmar was a little bit late tonight.
It felt like being beaten, so Kemba Walker only had a slight shake, and he had a big overreaction, and then he was easily broken through.
But this time the Lakers' No. 29 had already judged Kemba Walker's intention to take action. He made a cover and immediately forced Kemba Walker to change his dribbling route. After all, Walker only weighed more than 180 pounds and
Tang Qian's touch, without any additional movement, can make the Hornets' No. 1 lose his balance. Tang Qian is not the kind of fat and weak person. His strength and confrontation are both inside.
Super powerful existence.
Seeing that the Lakers' No. 29 made the save quite quickly, Walker tried to use his speed to quickly change direction and pass the Lakers' No. 29. But as soon as he moved, he found that the opponent had also moved. This speed was really fast. But
, you have such a huge tonnage and height and you want to compete with me in lateral movement? Then you are really wrong! Kemba Walker made a reverse emergency stop and successfully broke through Tang Qian's huge body. Then
, the shot must be directed to the basket.
"This goal is beautiful." The Hornets' home commentator loudly explained: "The Lakers were passed by Kemba on the 29th. This goal was scored. It will definitely be selected as the top 10 goals of the week. This
But the points scored against the best defensive player in the league."
"With small things, you can make a big difference, perfect and beautiful!"
When he saw Josh Smith of the Lakers preparing to come over to help defend, he didn't stop because he had already thought of a countermeasure. I'm going to decide this ball!
But at this time, Kemba Walker saw a very strange thing. Josh Smith, who was moving towards him just now, suddenly stopped for some unknown reason. This is so strange? Could it be?
Give up? You shouldn’t. Could it be that you were shocked by your performance tonight? Your domineering aura is leaking???
Just when Walker was having some random thoughts in his mind, he suddenly realized that everything around him had turned dark. It was as if dark clouds appeared out of thin air and covered his side.
What's going on? Before he could recover, he felt as if his back had hit a boulder with a "bang". The other person was still in the air, and he couldn't restrain himself from suddenly losing his balance and falling forward with great force.
Go out. Naturally, it is unlikely that this ball will go in. But Walker still threw it out blindly, just in case he encountered a "dead rat", right?
You still have to have a sense of luck.
But someone gave him no chance of encountering a "dead rat". He simply slapped him away with a powerful slap.
The basketball hit the Lakers' backboard hard.
Chasing the cap! This ball is undoubtedly a chasing cap! James likes to play this the most, and Tang Qian is not to be outdone.
He just knew that his lateral movement was definitely not as good as that of Walker, who was only in his early 180s, so he had an idea and simply let him go, then accelerated with all his strength and performed the "Chasing Master". This was a test of his physical fitness.
, an extremely confident performance. James is like this, and so is Tang Qian.
"Ah~ The ball was blocked. What a pity. Well, no, there is still a chance. The ball is in the hands of our team's center Cody Zeller! Very good! Cody! Come on!" Cody Zeller
Le finally got a chance to score tonight. Of course he didn't even think about it, so he dunked the ball with one hand under the basket. He thought the ball was a sure shot, so he didn't use too much force.
result……
"Dongfang, Dongfang Fang, Dongfang Fang took off twice, moved over and blocked Cody's dunk! This ball, this ball is still in Cody's hands! There is still a chance! Don't give up! Cody, you can do it!
Come on! Fight your opponent hard!!!" This kind of words can naturally improve the morale of the players in normal times, but tonight, he "hurt" Cody Zeller greatly.
Because as soon as Cody Zeller took the shot, he received another big block.
The ball was blocked and was still within the control of Cody Zeller. The Hornets' on-site commentator continued: "Don't give up! Don't give up! Cody! All you have to do is score this goal!"
No need to worry about how many hats you got in this round!"
"The key is to score points in this round! Come on! You can do it!!!!!!!"
Well, Cody Zeller, who was "bewitched", took action again, and with a "pop" sound, he pressed down with his palm again, and the ball was blocked again!
Damn it! I still don’t believe it!!! You are so stubborn! Could it be that I can’t even score a ball???
I have to try it!!!
Thinking about it, Cody Zeller is back! This ball is a bit angry! It was hit by the body of Lakers No. 29! In fact, it is no longer a chance! How could Tang Qian be polite about this ball?
Just press it with one hand.
4 hoods!!! And they were all given to one person!!! Just within 5 seconds!!!
"Oh~ my God~ Covered again~ Covered again~ This Oriental perm has made Cody look like a middle school student~~~"
Damn it~ I don’t believe it~~~~~~~~~~I can’t score one~ This round, I will fight you!!!
Oriental hot!
Still coming??? Tang Qian himself was a little surprised when he saw it. Firstly, he was surprised that the ball was still in the opponent's hand, and secondly, he still had the courage to continue to shoot directly at him from behind the basket.
How do you really say this? Courage is commendable?
Okay, okay, but, ball, I still won't let you in.
So, come down~~~~~~
There was a "pop" sound, and another big block hit the basketball that Cody Zeller had not had time to throw. It was precisely because the ball had not had time to be released that Cody Zeller was directly blocked.
He stumbled a lot and accidentally fell hard to the ground.
5 shots in 6 seconds~
Cody Zeller really feels like he is going to become an immortal.
