"What are you doing?" Larry Brown shouted loudly when he came down. He didn't know why he still had such a voice despite his age. He seemed to be a famous NBA coach and his physical fitness was different from ordinary people: "
In these recent games, have you been bullied at the beginning? Do you really think you can catch up easily no matter how many points you are behind? Tell you, be more serious immediately, otherwise you will not get any good fruits!!!!
!!!" No one said anything, because everyone knew that they had indeed underestimated the Thunder a little, and also underestimated their execution ability from the beginning. But everyone was also holding back a ball of anger, because no one really felt that
, the Lakers can't beat the Thunder.
Go up and destroy them!
As soon as the Lakers came up, they played a hard kill in the middle after a pick-and-roll. This is also one of the common tactics of the Lakers this season, and its lethality is amazing. Many teams have been overwhelmed by this move. Larry Brown based on the ball
Due to the characteristics of the team's player composition, such an offensive tactic was specially arranged. The purpose is very simple, which is to get the opponent's inside line into foul trouble early. It will undoubtedly be much easier if the starting lineup is continued and then substituted. Larry.
Brown has coached so many teams and has gone through the great changes in the NBA for decades. What haven't you seen? Do you really think he can only arrange defense? Look at the teams he leads, do they only emphasize defense? No.
in this way.
It's just that his defensive attainments are the most profound.
How strong is the impact of the Lakers' starting lineup this season? To put it simply, there are three obvious manifestations. Tang Qian + Randall + Butler. These three are all extremely tough representatives in their respective positions. There is no doubt about their lethality.
.Look at the Lakers' average number of free throws per game this season. They are first in the league and far ahead of second place. This is the best example. And this is not something that relies on "reasonable use of rules" or "reasonable porcelain". But in general
If a fake fan uses this to talk about something, they will be scolded and laughed at by the fans who actually watched the game. Because these statistics of the Lakers are all real. There are no bells and whistles at all.
These three people, if you just look at their names, you should know the lethality they possess. Randall and Butler are already lethal. Add Tang Qian to the mix, do you really think the opponent will be better?
So the Lakers came up with a hard kill from the middle. Randall caused a personal foul on Steven Adams and made 1 of 2 free throws. 10-4, still 6 points behind. The Thunder still wanted to
You have to use a false block to move down quickly, but this kind of move cannot last long. After being guarded by the Lakers, you can't use it immediately. You can directly force the pick and roll, and the Lakers' ability to switch defenses will quickly change it.
The opportunity is not good. Moreover, the Thunder still have the same old problem of poor tactical continuity. Of course, it is much better than before. There was even a period of time when there was no tactics at all. However, they are facing super strong teams this season.
, a super defensive team. So without subsequent tactical changes, it can only become an embarrassing hard play, and the shot by yourself, when~, missed, the Lakers got the rebound.
I know that the Thunder defend the pick-and-roll and are not afraid of moving the ball and cutting without the ball, because their lineup is actually very bulletproof. Of course, it is not a problem with the tactical system, it is simply a matter of strong personal ability and good personal fitness.
If they really start to attack, the dominant Spurs team with such a style of play may overturn. However, they also have problems, such as they are more afraid of powerful ball-handling attackers. They are more afraid of shooting insiders who can be ejected if they are left open. Look.
Looking at their pick-and-roll points loss data, these two aspects account for the largest share. The Lakers' ball-holding attacker after the outside pick-and-roll averages 20 points per game. Butler, but the opponent is not just for show. There used to be Sefolosha and now
Here comes a stronger Andre Robertson. This man is almost the same as Sefolosha before. His statistics are very unremarkable, but his defense is very strong. It will not be easy for Butler to beat him hard. It seems that the Thunder
He is also very aware of his own shortcomings and has made corresponding supplements. After Butler played a few times, the effect was average. The Lakers quickly changed their tactics. Randall's physical fitness was a bit declining, so he replaced him with an easy player who can be pulled out to shoot.
Key lotus.
The Thunder are also focused on pushing quickly, and they are actually very unsuitable for positioning and attacking, because when playing this kind of ball, they are nothing more than a few simple small coordination runs. If they can't play, they will have to solve the problem. Even if
It is these two people who attract the defense and pass the ball, and it also starts from their side. The starting method is just that, don't think about the rest.
The Lakers also quickly realized that the Thunder's quick push was mindless. Westbrook, in particular, had a skill that allowed him to pass half court in three or four seconds and hit the basket. This speed is so fast for a single player.
, it is estimated that no one in the league is more ruthless than him. Therefore, unlike the quick push against the Warriors, against the Thunder, there is less time to position and judge. If you force someone to match, the number of mistakes will increase.
So Larry Brown also quickly made arrangements. Don't think about other things, just be simple and crude. During the retreat process, defend nearby, and whoever's turn it is, go directly.
Needless to say, the Thunder suffered a huge blow right away, and their brainless quick push was curbed.
However, this is because the Lakers have a very high defensive configuration. Otherwise, even if you want to do this if you change the team, the effect may not be good. Tactical effects often need to be matched with the team players to be effective.
.If there is no coordination, or the player's ability is not enough to execute this tactic, no matter how good the response tactics are, it will be in vain. This is the real situation, not the kind of coach Y亣Y in the novel, who just needs to find a few tactics.
You can eat it all over the world.
Do you really think these NBA professionals are fools?
It’s so easy to make money, why don’t I see you making it?
Tang Qian missed a goal from the Thunder team, and boos broke out in the away game. This made Tang Qian more energetic. He pointed at all sides of the court with his right hand, and then made a motion of knocking the volleyball away. This is a typical provocation. Provocation.
All the Oklahoma fans.
The scoldings, boos, and boos now only made Tang Qian more excited and more motivated. He is no longer the Wu Xia Amon he used to be. He is a tyrant on the court. The powerful tyrant Tang.
Because the Lakers were too lethal and the Thunder did not have a good defensive system to support them, the number of fouls inside quickly reached the upper limit. The first quarter was not finished until chief center Steven Adams
It was his third foul, how could he fight? Billy Donovan also felt a little regretful. He just hesitated for a moment, but the opponent actually killed him again.
For the sake of the next game, we had to quickly replace Adams, who had committed three fouls. Otherwise, the Thunder's inside line would become extremely weak in the second half. After all, Adams is still very fierce, hard, and positive. With him, the Thunder's inside line is strong.
It won't be too much of a disadvantage. Ibaka is still a 4-position physique. There is no need to say that he is very strong in assisting defense. He just defends the real 5-position, which is a big disadvantage. And the Lakers happen to have one.
We can only replace Enes Kanter. This guy has 211cm after all, which is barely enough. However, this inside man can average close to a double-double per game. His offense is indeed very good, very sharp, and his skills are good.
There are also many. But on the defensive end, apart from rebounding, you shouldn’t expect anything else from him. Because he has nothing and can’t do anything. In addition, in the future, ESPN made a data model analysis that annoyed Kanter. According to the data model,
Look, Kanter's true defensive on-field plus-minus is minus 3.87. Many people will ask, what is the concept of minus 3.87? Well, it's not high. Among the 71 center positions in the league with statistical statistics, he is ranked last.
Even if it is placed in the entire inside line, it is still at the bottom level. And there is another stat that is very shocking. When he is on the court, the Thunder loses as many as 110.4 points per 100 possessions. Once he goes out, the Thunder immediately loses points.
It's a full 7.1 points less per 100 possessions. This is a young prodigy who even the help defense expert Ibaka can't save.
With Ibaka partnering with him, the Thunder will also lose 107.5 points per 100 possessions. This is true that even Ibaka despises him.
For comparison, look at the combination of Ibaka and Adams. They only gave up almost 100+ points per 100 possessions, which is the best in the league.
This way you can see how much of a black hole Kanter's defense is.
Among centers, he is the last in the league. This is not an injustice to him.
Tang Qian had no reason to let such a person go to defend him. If he didn't defend against such a scumbag, would he still be a human being? He was not a human being. So there was nothing to say. When Kanter came up, Tang Qian
Qian immediately waved for the ball. Looking at his expression, it seemed as if he was saying: Give it to me quickly, give it to me quickly, there are opportunities everywhere here.
Bet one and lose ten, the more you pass, the more you earn.
This guy Kanter is too easy to beat. If he doesn't fight hard, he will be disrespecting the people and the party.
Then there was a series of explosions from the Thunder basket, which made Ibaka unable to stand it anymore. He snorted and said, "Dude, are you playing defense or are you deliberately undercover? Isn't this too much?
Can't you defend more seriously?" I thought there would be any dissatisfaction or complaints from Kanter, but in the end, there was none. With a sincere face, he complained with tears in his eyes: "I really defended seriously.
?Why don’t you believe me? I’m really serious and working hard.”
Seeing his expression, Ibaka didn't know what to say. What should he say? He was very serious and didn't hear him?
It's just that the defense is terrible, and the center position ranks last in the league.
Ibaka can only increase the intensity of assisting defense, because for No. 29, your light assisting defense is useless. You can only increase the assisting investment to have some effect. It has even formed a assisting defense several times.
Even though he was holding the ball, he still hit hard and forced the basket. Ibaka was really speechless for his teammate. He didn't help defend like you, did he? Are you helping to defend? You don't deserve to be with me at all.
.You are even suspected of causing trouble.
Have you never learned defense at all?
I’m so lucky!!!
Ibaka really wanted to yell at this time, "Go away, I'll do it by myself, please don't get in the way, okay?"
The Lakers violently attacked the inside and almost got blown away. There was no other way. At the beginning of the second half, the Thunder returned to the simplest style of play. The two young men showed off their power and took turns to carry. As a Thunder team, it is easy to play against strong teams and headwinds.
The tactical execution is very low and has basically not changed after so many years. This is why the Thunder has been a strong team in the Western Conference for many years, but it has always been difficult to reach the top. It finally made it to the finals once, and was swept by the Big Three of Miami.
Out.
This problem is one of the root causes.
Because the Lakers have Tang Qian inside, Westbrook's breakthrough power has been greatly reduced. Westbrook's own shooting is also a twitchy type. Sometimes, he is awesome when he is playing well, and he is crazy when he is not playing well.
.So for the sake of stability, Durant is usually chosen to implement star tactics at this time. Durant is very strong. Although he has been slightly weaker than before after a serious injury, there is Westbrook beside him to attract firepower.
It's not obvious. But since he was injured, his physical problems have become more prominent, which makes the Thunder always less able to breathe at critical moments.
It's very simple. Look at how much his performance with the Thunder in the playoffs is different from the regular season. And then look at the last critical moments and how much he is different from usual. You will understand clearly. Leading the team alone, less
He has other outside stars to restrain him. If he really has to do it all by himself, he is really not that magical. His physical fitness will not last until the end even if he does not integrate offense and defense. So you think he can still compare with James? It is really high.
looked at him.
In terms of personal ability, Durant is inferior to James by an unknown amount.
Forget about defense, it's 18 points behind. Offense? Do you really think he is much better than James in scoring?
How many points can he score if he puts his arms aside and is alone? Oh, I forgot, Durant is not good at scoring high scores at all. I have mentioned before that his shooting data of more than 30+ are very bleak. Secondly, his highest
How many points? Only 54 points. Not to mention the playoffs, just over 40 points. Therefore, Durant is strong, has a lot of flaws, and has many flaws. If he had not left the Thunder, he would have stayed like this.
Went down.
Just looking at the offense, do you know how Durant's defense is at critical moments? Basketball is all about offense and defense. What's more, Durant's efficiency at critical moments in the playoffs is much lower than you think. At least in the Thunder, that's the case. He shoots
After scoring a few goals, the Lakers immediately arranged for him to break through with the ball. At the same time, they replaced Covington, a tall and flexible man with long arms, to single-handedly follow Durant to shoot, and the rest of the team was responsible for breaking through and delaying the shot at any time.
And breakthrough steals. Durant's effect of holding the ball to break through heavily defended defenses is quite average. The Lakers are all "ghosts" on the defensive end. Coupled with the blessing and care of Larry Brown's system, Durant soon fell into
He was in a dilemma. He wanted to pass the ball out after breaking through, but failed because the Lakers specially arranged interference and rotation for the weak side of the cross pass. However, there must be a price to pay for this, that is, both sides
The bottom line will be appropriately weakened.
At this time, it was time to test Tang Qian.
What Duncan has to do in the Spurs is what he has to do now.
Durant was targeted. Not only did his shooting percentage drop, but he also made several mistakes. The Lakers played steadily and continued to attack the inside. Soon they allowed the opposite center Steven Adams to take a break after committing 5 fouls. Seeing that the Thunder changed
After playing Enes Kanter, the Zijin Army just mindlessly pushed a large number of balls to the inside, allowing Tang Qian to seize every opportunity to attack.
There really is no such a bad defender at the fifth position. He is truly the worst defensive center in the league.
Tang Qian made a fierce move and Kanter was completely beaten. In the whole game, Tang Qian only missed one or three shots. According to statistics, he never missed a single shot against Kanter. Sports War 11
With 11 field goals and a large number of free throws, Tang Qian's shooting percentage reached over 90% tonight. He easily scored 50 points, 20 rebounds, 7 blocks and 1 assist.
Compared with the difficulties on Durant's side, Tang Qian's side simply had to get wind and rain, and it was very pleasant.
The Lakers defeated the Thunder 99-85. Tang Qian alone accounted for half of the team's points. Regarding this point, Tang Qian himself was a little embarrassed. There was nothing he could do about it, mainly because his opponent was too
It’s easy to fight, but I can’t do it if I don’t do more. I don’t even score points, and I guess even your Western Gods won’t forgive me. These words made Kanter, who was completely blown away tonight, not want to come out for an interview, but,
Adams spends most of the time off the court. It's not your problem, but who is it? The inside is looking for Kanter to score points. This is a starting point from here.
The remaining 49 points were divided among the others. No one on Tang Qian's side really complained that he took too many shots, because this was a tactical need. The opponent was so bad at position 5 tonight, how could you not play? Do you have to specifically pick him?
Is it difficult to fight? It doesn’t have to be, right?
For the Thunder, Durant scored 25 points and Westbrook scored 20 points, which is in line with the Thunder's game mode. However, Durant's consecutive mistakes in the third quarter completely buried the Thunder. At this moment
But in Durant's mind, it seems that my second brother's ability to attract defense is not enough. It would be great if my third brother Harden is also there. Alas, otherwise, I can better utilize my scoring energy by looking for people.
The place?
Alas, it’s all your fault, second brother. If you had been stronger, wouldn’t I have such thoughts?
It's all your fault.
The Lakers defeated the Thunder and increased their regular season wins to 69.
If they can defeat their last opponent in the regular season, then they can join the honorary club with 70 wins this season. Two teams with 70 wins in one season are probably the only ones in the entire league so far.
That's why many people say that this season's competition in the Western Conference is equal to the devil. Any team in history will never get anything good.
