Chapter 1280 The 10-game winning streak explodes the Eastern Spurs! Wan~~~
At this point, the battle situation has begun to become fierce. I don’t know what happened this season, but even the Eastern Conference is completely in darkness. There are 10 teams that can squeeze into the playoffs. This is
But this has rarely been the case before. Although the overall record is far behind that of the Western Conference, it is still fiercer than it has been in so many years. Not to mention the Western Conference, the Warriors, Spurs, and Lakers occupy the top three, and they are also the league's top three.
The top three. Except that they basically sit back and relax, the people behind are basically likely to go up or down. No one is safe. And because there are too many super strong teams in the Western Conference this time, there are three in one, which makes the Western Conference’s winning rate
The polarization is serious. Except for the three teams above, the following are all teams with more than 30 wins. The Thunder have overcome the previous wave of injuries and are now starting to pursue the pursuit. Although the Clippers have a good foundation in the front, but
After all, the team completed a big deal, but now the morale of the team is still unstable, and there has been a losing streak recently. The teams behind are competing crazily, and no one is safe. Including the Rockets, they were originally going to give up this season.
, but after the big trade, the team has rekindled its desire to enter the playoffs.
But they were still getting used to it, but it was better than the Clippers. The Rockets' team atmosphere suddenly returned to normal, and it was no longer as boring as before.
What's interesting is that during this period, the team's biggest thorn in the side, Lance Stephenson, was a little abnormal. He began to deliberately please the team's coach and Tang Qian. He also practiced very hard and did all the dirty work himself.
When he came down, he looked like "I'm not afraid of hardship or tiredness." This is of course the hope that he can get playing time, otherwise his contract year will be wasted and the team will not choose his contract option. In that case,
He will probably become a real "tramp" or even worse, fade out of the NBA. Such a situation is unacceptable to him.
Of course, the main reason is that he has seen that Beverley, who came with him, has gained the team's trust and integrated into the team. His playing time has gradually increased, and... this team seems to be very strong even if he does not. This,
It was very embarrassing. After thinking about this, Lance Stephenson did not get angry with his money, and took the initiative to bow his head and submit.
Larry Brown was business-like and did not immediately give Lance Stephenson a chance, because the latter still had many technical and tactical things that he had not memorized. That kind of casual style of play did not meet his requirements. He wanted
In addition to toughness and iron-bloodedness, proficiency in the team system and technical and tactical requirements is also a key point. If you look at the strong teams he led before, which one is not a combination of the two? So Lance Stephenson wants to
It will take time to get a chance to play and be recognized by the team.
Tang Qian looked at the newcomer who was drooping his head, smiled and said: "Don't be discouraged. Just master it quickly. You have to show the enthusiasm you had on the first day of team training. You are like this, but it is impossible to challenge
Mine." The latter nodded, but he never thought about challenging the former. These days, he has already seen clearly that this guy of the Lakers is the absolute boss, the kind who talks about everything. If he
If the Lakers take the lead in provoking trouble, several NBA teams may dare to fight against them.
Well, the beating mentioned here means beating literally, grams!
This kind of person has too much influence in the team. Everyone follows him. Even players who were not very courageous before are now confident. Once others use any drastic measures, they will definitely be punished in the most direct way. Damn. A team like this is too tough. Even if Lance Stephenson thinks he's pretty good, he still can't be great in this team.
In this case, it is better to join them early and become their "criminal gang".
On the contrary, you are free and at ease with the outside world, right?
At that time, I could blow in the ears of whomever I wanted. Who dared to get angry with me? There was a big boss behind me!
On March 2nd, they played back-to-back against the Nuggets. This team was in a mess this season. No, it has been in a mess in recent years. The Lakers blossomed inside and outside and easily defeated their opponents. Tang Qian didn't play for too long. He went down after more than a few minutes, but he still scored 20 points and only lost one goal in the sports game. It was just that there were a few rebounds in this game and there were too many high rebounds. There was nothing he could do about this situation. The overall situation was decided. After that, the main focus was on training. Larry Brown tried several different tactics to play. He wanted to test a variety of tactical strategies in advance for the playoffs.
But if you do this, you must have capital. Just like the old saying that the Spurs take turns to rest and adjust the bench lineup, that means they have capital, right? They basically make it to the playoffs every season. This is what they say. The reason why they can do this. Otherwise, why don't you try another team in the Western Conference? Last month's Best of the Month came out, and it turned out that it was Curry. The Warriors' record is too abnormal, and Curry is so accurate, plus four The big media also like the Warriors, at least more than they like the Lakers, so the Best of the Month goes to Curry again. Tang Qian can't say anything. The Lakers actually played well last month, but they still lost. The opponent did not lose the ball, so naturally he is weaker. In addition, his personal statistics are also very explosive, and your record cannot be beaten, so it is difficult to say anything.
Two days later, the Lakers faced the Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks were no longer the Hawks before. Ever since they were defeated by James in the playoffs and swept out 4-0, they have been in a lot of trouble. The contract, the atmosphere, and the locker room are all in trouble. It is no longer stable, so the record that was good at the beginning is now in jeopardy. With only 33 wins and 28 losses, it is okay to enter the playoffs, but the position will not be very good. It is very likely to be in the bottom four and lose the playoffs. home field advantage.
Even though their head coach has been earnestly shouting slogans like "Come on~ Cheer up~ We can do it~ Cheer up~", the effect is really not good. The Eagles are now on the verge of falling apart. That kind of grand event where several people are squeezed into the All-Star lineup may only become a flash in the pan. Eastern Spurs? It sounds a bit ironic now.
The biggest feature of the Spurs is their stability for decades.
If you fall apart so quickly, why call it the Eastern Spurs? The Eastern Spurs are pretty much the same.
Because everyone in the team now has different thoughts and is not united, so the tactical execution ability is also much lower. This makes the team's head coach Mike Budenholzer can only eat the team's money. He can't come up with any new tricks. If he continues like this, he doesn't know how long he can stay in this position. He originally thought that this was the place where he could realize his ideals and ambitions, but now it seems that it was probably him last year. The peak of his coaching career with the Eagles.
In the next few years, it is estimated that there will be a downward trend.
Oh, that's too bad.
He has no choice. Now that his execution ability is not good, he can only engage in some activities on the sidelines to shout slogans. Unfortunately, these are not what he is good at. For example, tonight, he should not continue to "encourage" them like this.
The team's inside line should take more shots and attack more. Al Horford is good, but he is a short inside line and his tonnage is not big. Let him take more inside shots, which is basically asking him to be shot naked. Millsap
It's the same, too short. If you go in and play in the low post, you'll get too much interference. At this time, the two of them have been guarded and are a little embarrassed, but the head coach is still saying: "Cheer up! Don't give up, guys!"
The Lakers are not that scary! You are all strong! Don’t be afraid of anyone!”
It sounded good when I said it at first, but now I still say it like this. Isn’t it nonsense? It sounds ironic no matter how you sound.
Especially Horford, what he was thinking was, I've been hit several times, and I'm still playing like this? Can I change my offensive ideas?
Also, I really can’t guard him in the low post, okay? If you shout a few words, “Come on! You’re strong! You can do it!”, it’s really OK. If you don’t play yourself, you don’t know how powerful this Oriental center is.
.Is the joint defense bad? I am really under a lot of pressure, coach. There is no way. The Eagles seem to be falling apart this season. Their tactical execution is not enough. If they play a lot of help defense, a series of problems will arise, such as now.
The late three-point long-range shots that kept coming from the opponent's outside were an example.
So Mike Budenholzer really doesn't dare to help defend too much. The team's defensive flexibility is not enough to help defend and then immediately switch out without losing position. It didn't work last season, let alone this season. The Eagles don't have an absolute strong point in the middle.
The style of play can easily be disrupted when encountering someone with such outstanding personal ability. James set the best example last season. Tang Qian is just following suit now. The Eastern Spurs really regard themselves as
Spurs?
Of course, there are still detailed adjustments, such as replacing the defensive champion Thabo Sefolosha. However, Sefolosha is an outside shooter, and it is impossible for one person to support the entire team's defense. In addition, the Lakers are now an inside player.
Lord, you can't guard the inside, you can't open it at all, and you can't suppress it. Attack? Mike Budenholzer tried this in the second half. Jeff Teague rushed forward and wanted to make a sudden stop for a horseback archery shot.
But he underestimated Rondo too much. Rondo, who gradually regained the defensive status of the Green Army, defended a small defender like him. He was accurate in one defense and coupled with the interference of his super wingspan, he actually touched the ball directly.
"Little guy, your hands are too short~" Rondo's poisonous mouth is also a characteristic that he grew up with in the Green Army.
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been with Garnett for a long time. Anyway, I’m very unreasonable.
Jeff Teague was also speechless. How many smaller people can compare with your hand length? You really can't handle anything.
The Eagles pass and cut from the second and third posts. Last season, they relied on strong tactical execution and smooth and selfless team passing to achieve 60+ wins. But this season they no longer have the ability to do this, and their passing and cutting ability has declined.
, allowing people like Korver to quickly fall into the encirclement of the Lakers, and then... make a mistake.
Tang Qian and Butler made an alley-oop, catching the Eagles off guard.
The Hawks made a quick push, Millsap cut in from the high post, threw the ball, and the ball... was slapped down by Lakers No. 29.
The Lakers scored a defensive counterattack goal.
The morale of the Hawks almost collapsed, and then Tang Qian seized the opportunity in the low post to force a back-up shot, pushed into the basket, and dunked from behind. With a "bang", Horford was dunked away, and the penalty was 2+1. The Hawks' rebound
They seemed to be trembling slightly.
This operation was so shocking that Bill McDonald, the Lakers commentator on the scene, felt a little distressed and said:
It's so pitiful. I heard the figure being knocked away by the force. I can only say to Horford, you are welcome under the Staples basket.
The Hawks have lost their temper. They are all flying kites from the outside, and they are still flying kites without any tactics or purpose. Several times you can see that Horford and Millsap have no intention of competing for rebounds.
Horford also started flying kites with the team. He has practiced three-point shooting this season, and he has scored a lot of points relying on this.
Damn it~ What Ibaka said is right. Now facing the Lakers, if the inside players can't make mid-range and long-range shots, they will be beaten to death by the whole audience. I didn't take it seriously at first. Fortunately, I practiced, otherwise
Can I still see tonight’s data?
Hey, I heard that everyone is looking for a new home, otherwise I should start taking action. Atlanta is not a place to stay for a long time.
Eagles, the hearts of the people are really scattered. How can we take care of the people once the hearts of the people are gone?
There is a saying that goes well: if the people's hearts are scattered, it will be difficult to lead the team.
The Eagles are like this now. After this season, most of the key players from last season will all go their separate ways.
Atlanta really can't keep people here.
Their head coach is also a little helpless. Last year, they were still ranked first in the Eastern Conference. Why did they change so much this year?
My best head coach hasn't even gotten wet yet.
The Lakers easily defeated the Hawks 99-89. In the fourth quarter, the Lakers' bench was all talking about which place in Atlanta had the best food and which nightclub had the cutest girls. They might try it out next time they go to an away game.
Of course, I'm just talking about it. I've had a taste of it. Everyone knows that the Dongfang boss on the 29th has a bad temper. Now is not the time to do this thing anymore. Therefore, I can only talk about it. No matter how itchy my heart is,
We have to hold it in and wait until the season is over before talking about it. Otherwise... the ending probably won't be too good.
With 10 consecutive wins, the Lakers have begun to enter the quasi-postseason acceleration mode.
Of course, the next game is what Tang Qian and the whole team are paying attention to. For the current Lakers, it is natural to win against weak teams and ordinary teams. Only when they win against strong teams can they have a sense of accomplishment. Tang Qian finished the game
After the news was released, he looked at the schedule of the next game in the locker room, narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered: "Come on, it's the last regular season game of this season, let's see who is stronger!"
