Chapter 1276 The strong suppression begins with the Spurs in a big chapter~
The new kids don't understand. Don't the people here in the Lakers know? With No. 29 here, no one can afford to make trouble. It's so tough. Because everyone knows his fighting ability.
Not to mention one-on-one, no one will intervene in one-on-two. Watching the boss "training and training the prickly boy" is actually a very interesting "leisure and entertainment", isn't it?
Watching the excitement is not just a trait of Chinese people, it is the same for people of any country in the world.
Especially Americans, they will definitely not lose.
"You don't have to be afraid of me, but..." Tang Qian looked down at him and said, "I am the boss of this team, no problem. Do you know?" "You are too arrogant, you really think everyone...
Before Lance Stephenson could finish speaking, he was interrupted impatiently: "Why do you talk so much nonsense? You just don't like it. Just tell me directly, how can you be honest? Play ball? Or fight?"
Damn, you guy, are you so direct? Have you never seen a Hollywood blockbuster? Shouldn't you talk to me more?
"Speak!" The impatient expression on Tang Qian's face intensified: "I still need to practice after I finish it. Don't waste everyone's time, okay?" This is not giving yourself any face at all. If you back down,
Don’t you think that I, Lance Stephenson, am a “softie”?
"Then I'll fight you..." Lance Stephenson originally wanted to say fight, but when he saw the figure and expression on the other side, he suddenly thought of this guy's "stainful deeds", and the words suddenly came to his lips.
While turning in a circle, he said: "Play ball! Yes! Play ball!" Tang Qian said with an indifferent attitude: "Then let's start. Don't waste time, 10 balls, start directly, let you attack first." "I don't need it.
You give in!" After Lance Stephenson said this, Tang Qian glanced at him and walked towards the defender's position: "I won't let you go, it doesn't mean anything at all, and you can't be convinced. Hurry up, start.
."
"Blackie" Beverley was watching on the side. He vaguely heard some Lakers players around him talking and laughing: "How many goals can this guy score? He will definitely lose. It's best not to challenge the basket. Too many goals."
Shooting, maybe there is something to behold." Unfortunately, the situation has not changed at all. Lance Stephenson is one of those players with extremely strong bodies, so the basket has not been refined too much. A 196cm person averages three points per game.
The three-point field goal percentage is less than 30% this season, and it is less than that in his career, so what can be said? The mid-range shooting is not reliable either, and the mid-range shooting is passable, but it is only 38% in his career, and it has not reached 4 this season.
Cheng Shang. However, his breakthrough and killing abilities are very good. With his height and tonnage of over 230 pounds, he is definitely very strong. His muscles are very prominent and his arms are also very thick.
But like this, it was impossible to beat Tang Qian, and his shooting touch tonight was not good. After hitting the iron continuously, he began to attack the inside to improve his shooting percentage. At this time, the rest of the Lakers couldn't help laughing as they looked at it:
"The show has begun, and the big pot will appear soon."
"Idiot, why are you going in with the hot ball? Throw it, throw it to death, maybe there will be some miracles."
"Forget it, let's just look at the one-sided killing. Generally, you won't be too cautious about hot balls."
At first, Beverley thought these people were bragging, but after a few minutes, he became a little stupid. Lance Stephenson was almost losing his mind after being blocked. He even started to get angry and just wanted to score in the No. 29 basket.
Just hit one in. In this way, it becomes an even more vicious cycle. When Tang Qian once blocked a shot with a little force and knocked Lance Stephenson away, the latter got up and was about to explode. This was also a "black brother"
"His unique momentum exploded. But before he could make a move, Tang Qian used his long arms to take the lead, treating this guy like a paper man and pushing him away.
He couldn't even stand firm and fell to the ground and rolled a few times, making him look miserable and ugly.
"Get up, keep going." Tang Qian looked at him and didn't intend to spare him at all. Instead, he continued: "Get up. Be a man." Beverly was speechless when he saw this, and he turned around to look
The Lakers players, who looked like they were watching the show, asked: "Why don't you stop it? Are we really going to make a big fuss?" Little did they know that Nick Young took the time to answer him: "What a big fuss, we have to stop it even if we want to.
Newcomers, but not now, wait and see, see first."
What's the answer to this? Beverly immediately knew what it meant. In a unilateral killing, Tang Qian used his own tonnage and strength, including his amazing explosive power, to chase Lance Stephenson into the fight. After the beginning
The player could still counterattack a few times, but in the mid-term, he was just passively beaten. In the end, he was directly knocked down by No. 29, and he was pinned to the ground and couldn't get up.
"Tch~ I didn't perform well this time, I failed, I failed."
"Yes, I'm in such a bad state that I actually let this new guy with the thorny head jump up and fight back a few times. I shouldn't, I shouldn't."
What do these people mean? Lance Stephenson has already been beaten, right? Don’t you think it’s enough? Who are you? Are you addicted to being abused? They don’t know, Tang Qian
This does not include any ability cards or off-field cards, so it does appear to be much more "difficult" than usual, which has caused a series of "bad reviews".
But after all, we are teammates, so we can just teach him a lesson, there is no need to really get mad, right?
As a result, Tang Qian told Lance Stephenson, whose right eye was bruised and swollen, very clearly: If you want revenge, come to me anytime, but before you can't take revenge, play more honestly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude. Listen.
understand?
Shi.t~ People have to bow their heads under the eaves~ You, the king of brute force in the East, just wait for me, and when I am ready, I will come to you and fight again!
Tang Qian does not reject Lance Stephenson's fighting spirit and toughness. The team needs such a person. He can train him carefully and use these qualities against the enemy. As for whether the training can be successful,
Tang Qian has no doubt at all. Because no one is really looking for torture. If one torture is not enough, then do it twice. If two times is not enough, then three times. If three times is not enough, then three times. Until he is honest, this kind of thorn in the head,
It should be dealt with in such a simple and crude way. Maybe convincing people with reason is enough, but Tang Qian doesn't have the cultivation and moral skills to think that he can make people surrender with his simple personal charm. So, let's do something direct and the most direct.
good.
Athletes are all passionate. If you can hold yourself back, it's not a bad thing if you have a stronger sense of competition within the team.
Catfish need effects, let alone people?
If things like thorns are not solved, it will naturally disturb the locker room, but if they can be solved, it will be another matter. Their enthusiasm and hard work on the court are actually not possessed by other players. At least they must be high.
came out. Although the Lakers did not recruit any star players this time, Tang Qian was not disappointed because the team's shortcomings were made up for. This is what he values most. For ordinary players,
He said that if you give him time and a beautiful sword, it will be enough to trap him.
He believes that this team is enough to challenge anyone, no, to defeat anyone.
Hoarding stars and playing basketball with brothers was not his original intention and long-cherished wish. The right one is the best.
Tang Qian didn't know that it was actually because of him that Larry Brown was so open-minded about finding people. Otherwise, he would really have to consider what would happen if there were too many thorns and bad tempers in the team.
Now, you don’t have to worry about it at all. You can just choose the one you think is most suitable. It saves a lot of trouble. Therefore, having a team boss with a high force value and a reputation is not all bad.
During this period, before the free market closed, many teams also made final transactions and fine-tuning. Then, the sprint to enter the playoffs officially began. The Lakers' first game was a focus battle.
At home, we face the team with the second-best record in the league, the San Antonio Spurs. There is no way around internal friction. The Lakers, Spurs, and Warriors are indispensable for their attrition and melee, but they are also the best touchstone.
Larry Brown looked at the coach on the other side, his former disciple Popovich, and thought to himself: Greg, the real strength of the Lakers this season starts with you. I hope you are ready.
Popovich certainly knows that the Lakers are not good-natured. Like his teacher Larry Brown, in fact, selection is not just for the purpose of stacking stars. Reasonable selection and maximizing the system are the primary considerations. He weighed
At first glance, the Lakers' deal seemed to be a loss, no profit, not a single star, and a rookie who had just shown his potential. However, a previous shortcoming disappeared without a trace.
Wanting to attack the Lakers' No. 1 position from the bench time has become a thing of the past. It is no longer that simple. However, he is also confident in his team. This season's Spurs are not bad either, and their record is not good yet.
Is it on the Lakers' head? The Lakers have lost 12 games, and they have only lost 9 games now.
In addition, the team atmosphere is very good, and he believes that his own team is better.
Of course, as a head coach, this is what I think. Isn’t the Spurs going to win the championship this season? Therefore, neither side will easily admit defeat in this competition. After a brief greeting, the game started at the Staples Center.
, the Spurs' lineup is Parker + Aldridge + Leonard + Duncan + Green. To be honest, this lineup, if it were pushed forward a few years, it would be an invincible lineup. Unfortunately, now, everyone who should be aging is
As I age, I am no longer so invincible. But even so, it is still difficult to deal with. This team is difficult to beat. It has basically no shortcomings. It has strong tactical execution and the star players have the ability to play in singles. They can combine both internal and external defense.
It's also strong, no wonder it has only lost 9 games now, second only to the Golden State Warriors.
On the Lakers side, they lined up Tang Qian + Randle + Ariza + Butler + Rondo. There was nothing to say about the fight for the ball. The ball was in the hands of the Lakers and they started the first attack. It was a very classic matchup from the beginning.
Fighting, between strong teams, after the All-Star Game, the ambition came out, and the enemy who should be attacked in terms of momentum would be absolutely merciless. The Spurs attack with the ball, and the Lakers target the ball carrier. The Spurs want to
In order to break out, run, pass and hit the three-point attack, the Lakers quickly increased their defense outside the three-point line. The Spurs wanted to use tactical pick-and-rolls and partial screen cuts, so the Lakers made quick substitutions and selected opportunities to attack. This was a fierce fight.
Ah, the Spurs changed a lot of "offensive postures" in the first quarter, but the Lakers took over all of them. Their defensive strength is eye-catching. The Spurs' main offensive point with the ball in the first quarter tonight, Parker was pinched.
It was almost hard to breathe. He felt that no matter how he moved in the first quarter tonight, he seemed to have a purple and gold figure following him. He took 6 shots in the first quarter and only scored 1, which was evident. Popovich was also energetic,
He seemed to want to tell Larry Brown that I am stronger now. From the end of the first quarter to the middle of the second quarter, he substituted a bunch of players who could run, and suddenly started to switch offense and defense, trying to play
The Lakers' landing was unstable. This move came very suddenly, but Beverley completed the task quickly. He was much smarter than Lance Stephenson. He immediately restrained himself after knowing that the Lakers were a team ruled by a "tyrant".
Because of his temper, he laughs and laughs inside the team, but he is fierce to the outside world.
His strong defense also satisfied Larry Brown. The Lakers' biggest problem in the first half of the season seems to have been solved. He used Beverley to directly block the opponent's offensive starting point. Beverley is very suitable for this.
For this reason, he actually cannot fully utilize his abilities in the Rockets, because the Rockets are still a non-defensive team as a whole, with a relatively high proportion of offense, so his defensive role has been weakened a lot. Come to the Lakers
Team, the situation is different. Larry Brown will give him a lot of opportunities for single defense and leading defense. This allows Beverley's "mad dog attribute" to explode with all his strength and stalk Patrick Mills with all his strength. Several times, Mills almost missed the ball.
It's all bad luck, this guy is completely "crazy" in defense.
Is it necessary to work so hard? He was complaining in his heart, but he didn't know that this was Beverly's rule of survival.
Even if the Spurs replaced Parker, it would be of no use. Beverley is young, energetic and willing to spend a lot of energy on the defensive end. In addition, he has excellent defensive skills, so the Spurs' Popovich setup failed again.
.I couldn't make quick pushes and transitions at all. On the contrary, I made several more mistakes. I didn't expect Larry Brown to break his own arrangement so easily. He was just Beverley, who was inconspicuous in the Rockets before.
Five to six million people seemed to have risen to a higher level in the hands of Larry Brown, and their sense of existence suddenly soared.
The more this happens, the more "crazy" and fierce the defensive champion Beverley becomes! He likes this feeling very much!
The feeling of being noticed and focused! How could I have had such a chance in the Rockets before? Or the defensive master would use me!
Thinking of this, Beverley completely had the idea of integrating into the Lakers. I am afraid that only here can he realize his greatest value and maximize his abilities. By then, getting a bigger contract will not be a problem. The Lakers' defense is the first
Yes, it's not like he hasn't had the opportunity to fight for more playing time. This has also put a certain amount of pressure on Rondo. The defensive end has been obviously much more active recently than in previous trainings. Healthy competition and healthy stimulation are good.
Popovich replaced Aldridge in the post, asking the team to switch to quick transmission + singles with the ball. Larry Brown also quickly replaced Tang Qian, who also interfered with the passing route throughout the process, cut the defense, and destroyed
The overall conductivity of the Spurs. Popovich did not believe in evil, so he replaced the French fat Diaw to increase the team's conductivity and break through the Lakers' defensive tactics. But soon the Lakers used a
The seniors and juniors deal with it. Tang Qian sits inside and in the low post, relying on his strong defensive ability to defend Aldridge alone and help defend the low post area. The other four outside lines are constantly interfering with the passing route, and even deliberately let the opponent pass the ball in.
Aldridge attacks. The passing ball that the Spurs have been proud of in recent seasons has really been suppressed! They have been passing the ball for a long time, and the opportunities are not particularly good. Give Aldridge a single inside, facing Tang
Hidden, Aldridge's inside singles shooting percentage is a bit outrageous.
Force a breakthrough? Yes, just delay the attack and allow Lakers No. 29 time to react, which is considered a success.
Compared with the beginning of the season, after more than half of the season, the defensive understanding of the entire Lakers team has improved a lot. The overall defensive system around No. 29 has basically taken shape. In various situations, even if Larry Brown does not
Even without warning, the players on the court know what to do even if they are broken through by their opponents.
There will be no backup plan.
Bang bang~ After Tang Qian blocked 2 shots, the Spurs' outside breakthroughs became smaller and they did not dare to attack so wantonly.
Seeing this, the Lakers immediately continued to increase the pressure. Even on the bench, at least Beverley + Covington are defensive-level defenders. Josh Smith + Pierce, one is physical and the other is experienced.
Experience, so after adding Tang Qian, the Lakers still overwhelmed the Spurs. After the Spurs gradually replaced their main force, they only scored 15 points. There were countless irons and mistakes. Pop
Veach finally discovered the problem. He went a little off track and was led into a pit by Larry Brown. This is not the Spurs' rhythm. It needs to change.
After Duncan came on the field, the Spurs ran several waist-position off-ball screens, and finally scored some points. There was no way, Duncan was too experienced, and his coping ability and consciousness were abnormal, so the Lakers could only
To make it like this, the substitutes are still the main ones, right? The Spurs replaced Aldridge, and the Lakers also replaced Tang Qian. Tonight, Larry Brown asked Tang Qian to guard Aldridge. Duncan is old
When he gets older, he can still shine in defense and coordination, but his individual singles ability has seriously declined. As long as he is physically stronger and keeps applying pressure and interference, Duncan alone cannot save the Spurs.
He also couldn't break down the Lakers' defensive iron wall.
The Spurs only scored 28 points at halftime. You have to know that the Spurs can average 103+ points per game this season. They only scored so many points at halftime. Basically, they scored about half of their normal points at halftime.
After entering the second half, the Lakers were even more focused. The Spurs were also having a hard time attacking. If they tried to use tactics and cut down the field, the success rate was too low. So Popovich saw the situation clearly and could no longer play like this.
When breakthroughs and pick-and-rolls cannot be opened, entering rashly can easily lead to the Lakers quickly assisting in defense. Simply, just play in isolation and strengthen defensive response at the same time.
There is nothing wrong with this. After the singles are opened, the offensive end can minimize interference from the Lakers' defense. However, the Spurs do not have an outside singles player who can really win the game with singles. Inside, Tang Qian and Aldridge
It is useless. Even if he is pulled out, Duncan's success rate in low singles is not high now. This is Duncan's last season, and his ability has deteriorated even more obviously. Duncan's body cannot last more than a few singles with the ball.
The ball, Randall's strong physical confrontation is not fake, and it will not be easy for him if he can't guard Duncan. Besides, Tang Qian can sometimes help, playing inside is not a good decision. Therefore, outside singles are the best
Choice. But as I said before, Leonard has just started to take the lead this season, averaging only 21 points per game. With such scoring ability, if you want to kill Butler, the defender who swapped with Ariza, in singles, it is simply impossible.
It's impossible. If Leonard relies on the team's overall offense, he can still destroy Butler. Just open one-on-one, Butler will never admit defeat. The latter is a "short-handed monster", but his fighting spirit and defense
The toughness has always been top-notch.
How many goals can Leonard score? In fact, if Leonard can beat Butler, the Spurs will still be saved. Just like the Spurs used Bowen, who was still in the defense, to defend Kobe alone in the 2008 playoffs, and the rest
People are strangled to death. If Kobe can't beat his opponents with an average of 2+ free throws per game, he will be unable to guard against anyone who comes in the end, and the Lakers will definitely fall into a passive position. Bowen was a solid first defense that year, and he was consecutive
After five years of primary defense, in terms of pure defense, it is still better than the current Butler. Butler has never touched the primary defense once in his career. He has defended the first defense for five consecutive years, and the gap is still obvious.
If Leonard could defeat Butler in a singles just like Kobe Bryant did to Bowen that year, it would indeed disrupt the Lakers' defensive formation. But he cannot do this. This season, he
When his personal offensive ability needs to be improved, it is definitely not a problem for Butler to defend him alone, not to mention death, and his efficiency will decrease one-on-one on the flanks.
As a result, the Spurs fell into an endless loop.
You can't get going in isolation, the system can't get going, and the ball movement isn't working well. Are there still problems for the opponent to gain the upper hand? Of course, the Spurs' defense is also very strong. This season, they only allowed their opponents to score 92+ points per game.
This is already a strong statistic in a league with rising scores. The league is firmly in the top three. Unfortunately, the Lakers don't talk nonsense to you, they just play in low singles, leaving you with nothing to do. Popovich made a mistake here.
, he should not have pulled out Aldridge and Tang Qian just now and asked Duncan to play in singles with the ball. This consumed a lot of old Duncan's physical energy. Now if he wants to block Tang Qian, even if he wants to "dive", he will have to step forward.
slow.
So the Spurs just watched helplessly as the Lakers opened up the score and then lost the game.
The Spurs scored 69 points, which made Popovich very dissatisfied. He criticized the whole team, saying that the team's focus has not been raised to the maximum and must be adjusted as soon as possible. Then about the Lakers, he said this
Said: A super strong team in the Western Conference is about to emerge. How to break the Lakers' defense will probably become a headache for the entire league's head coaches.
Well, in fact, Popovich really just said that. Maybe he also thought so, but he never thought it would really become like this. At least, it would become like this so soon. Right away, from the start of this game
, his words became an "advance prophecy" that everyone admired.
The Spurs are pretty good.
With three consecutive wins, the Lakers got off to a good start in their first game after the All-Star break.
