Easily defeating the Thunder, the Lakers take the lead in the playoffs at home. - Los Angeles Times.
Pick-and-roll tutorial. The Thunder were stunned. - Bleachers.
Winning by accident, Dongfang Tong said he didn't even break a sweat against the Thunder. - Lakers Nation.
T.N.T also gave several key factors why the Lakers beat the Thunder: The tactical quality is more than enough, mainly reflected in a large number of pick-and-rolls, and the Thunder were led by the nose. The Thunder's personal ability did not play a role last night.
Secondly, targeted defensive tactics + overall tough attitude. The Thunder were like unprepared children who got a big slap in the face in the first game. They were fooled.
ESPN was analyzing how the Thunder should win, and the expert reporters there provided many different opinions. However, it is unclear how effective some of them are. As the game progresses, some regular season awards
Also released one by one. The All-Rookie Team is announced. The first team is led by Karl-Anthony Towns, followed by the Knicks’ Kristaps Porzingis and the Suns’ Devin Booker.
, Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets, Jahlil Okafor of the 76ers. The second team is Justise Winslow of the Heat, and D'Angelo of the Clippers.
Russell, Emmanuel Mudiay of the Nuggets, Myles Turner of the Indiana Pacers, Willie Stein of the Kings. The best rookie undoubtedly belongs to Karl of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Towns. He can contribute 18+10+2+2 data this season. Looking at the data, it seems that he is a combination of offense and defense, but you will know after watching the game that this is not the case at all. His style of play is relatively soft, but he is still a rookie.
During this period, everyone was more tolerant of him.
On the same day, the Cavaliers also defeated the Pistons 106-101. Among them, the Big Three performed well. Irving scored 31 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. Love scored 28 points and 13 rebounds.
With 1 assist and 1 steal, James scored 22 points, 6 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Although the defense was still a mess, he easily defeated his opponent with 5 points thanks to the overall performance of the Big Three.
Won the first victory. In addition to them, the Heat also beat the Hornets 123-91, beating the Hornets completely unable to parry. In the Western Conference, the Spurs also beat the Mavericks 106-74. Although the Mavericks have stumbled this season, they barely made it.
They are in the playoffs, but they are basically spectators and do not pose much of a threat to the Spurs. Their core is old, and it is difficult for King Notre Dame to resist the magic of Father Time.
In addition, the Trail Blazers lost to the Clippers 95-115. The Clippers' Howard and DeAndre Jordan performed well tonight, dominating the inside basket during their respective playing time. Since the Trail Blazers left Aldridge, the inside
The strength has plummeted. It is difficult to win just relying on Lillard from the outside. The next day, the Most Improved Player, also known as MIP, was announced. This season's Most Improved Player belongs to the Trail Blazers who lost yesterday, C.J. McClure.
M. It should be said that he received this award without any merit this season and deserved it. He has evolved from averaging 6.8 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game last season to averaging 20.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game this season.
assists, the increase is so large that it makes people raise their eyebrows. It is unreasonable not to give it to him. Compared with him, the others are not competitive at all. However, there is also something funny, that is, there are still people on this list.
The name of Stephen Curry of the Warriors appeared, and it seems that Curry's improvement is not small. He was ranked fourth in the original time and space, and is even higher in this time and space, ranking third, second only to McCrum and
Kemba Walker. There is also a joke here. Some people claim that this is the peak of McCollum and Kemba Walker's life, and Kuritian is no match for them.
Of course this is purely a joke, just adding some off-court gossip. No one will take it seriously.
At this time, ESPN selected a ranking list of the top 100 centers in league history. This ranking list also happened in the original time and space. In this time period, the top ten were Olajuwon, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Russell, and Chamberlain.
, O'Neal, Moses Malone, David Robinson, Patrick Ewing, Bill Walton, and Willis Reed. Yao Ming is ranked in the mid-twenties, and Tang Qian is currently ranked 17th. This
Many people expressed dissatisfaction, because some people above clearly felt that he was not as good as Tang Qian. When it comes to leading the team, doesn't Ewing also have no championship? ESPN's explanation is that Ewing still has to surpass Tang Qian in his career.
So there is no problem in ranking higher. Naturally, Tang Qian will inevitably be interviewed. Tang Qian said half-jokingly: "My career accumulation is indeed very short, but maybe the situation will be different after this year? No one can say this.
Isn’t it clear?”
These words excited many Tang Qian fans, because they represent the ambitions of the Lakers No. 29 this season.
Without ambition and ambition, you won't be able to survive in the NBA environment.
This is all a digression. The Lakers continue their playoff journey and will play the second game of the Western Conference first-round series at Staples Center at 7:30 pm. The Thunder made a lot of adjustments before this game.
After all, Billy Donovan is the coach of two consecutive NCAA championships, and he has some real skills. In the pre-game arrangement, he made these few modifications, strictly guard against the opponent's pick-and-roll, and remember not to follow the trend, and stay steady.
situation, reduce the routine and attack mode. This is tantamount to indirectly admitting that our Thunder team is not as good as your Lakers in tactical routines, so we simply reduce the competition in this aspect and simplify the complex to fight. Increase the team's tactics at the 1st position
The initial effect is to reuse Westbrook. Billy Donovan is very good at activating the personal abilities of guards in the college league. Westbrook indeed averaged a triple-double in the first year he coached him.
come out.
At the same time, I added one point, if it really doesn't work, just give up defense and attack with the opponent. Use the firepower of your team second only to the Warriors in the league to attack the opponent's strongest shield in the league. This is the team's advantage.
Maximize it, and at the same time point out that the Thunder's defense is not good, so everyone should not bother to defend well. We averaged so many points per game in the regular season that we cannot change it all at once. In this case, it is better to just purely
It’s more cost-effective to strengthen your strengths.
This is a bit of an extreme way to add points in the game, but it can also be regarded as a way to change the formation.
Otherwise, if there is no change at all, it will definitely be another scene of being easily beaten. That is something Billy Donovan cannot accept. He can accept that he cannot reach the finals or conference finals in his first season, but
He definitely cannot be eliminated in the first round. That would be a huge blow to his self-esteem and face. After all, when he came, he still came with a halo. He was "invited" by the Thunder team. If the first
If you can't get through, you will indeed have trouble getting through in face.
And he also knows what the Thunder's biggest advantage is, which is to fight quickly and chaotically. The faster and chaotic the stronger they are. On the contrary, this kind of rigid style of play is not the rhythm they are good at. He arranged for No. 1 position tonight, which is
Westbrook's increase in tactical initiatives is also for this consideration, to maximize the team's advantages. The Lakers are not a weak team and cannot be looked down upon any more.
You must face the enemy 100%! The mental state of the last game is not advisable, and it is reasonable to be beaten violently.
Before this game, Billy Dovanno particularly emphasized the need to play tough and not be afraid of the opponent. It seems that everyone's psychological preparation is much better than the last game. This game should be slightly better. If you win
There is still hope for the ball. Billy Donvanno looked at the Thunder players in the locker room and thought. The Lakers locker room was completely different. After arranging the basic pre-game procedures, Larry Brown had only one sentence:
Kick your opponent's little balls.
Damn it~ I really can’t believe that this is actually coming from the mouth of someone who is known as one of the top ten coaches in history. It’s a bit awkward no matter how you listen to it.
However, everyone has been together for so long now, and they all know what kind of person Larry Brown is, so they don't talk nonsense. This private behavior is more in line with everyone's taste.
"Sweep the home court and defeat the opponent~" the home team's locker room roared, and the players filed out.
…
The starting lineup of both sides has not changed. The Lakers' Tang Qian + Randle + Ariza + Butler + Rondo, and the Thunder's Westbrook + Durant + Ibaka + Adams + Andre Robertson. Good guy, Tang Qian started.
I saw the "tough" light in the other party's eyes.
Hmm, that's interesting. But how tough can you be?
At the beginning of the second game, the opponent changed. In the last game, they were beaten by the Lakers. In this game, the defensive strategy was different. They no longer wanted to defend perfectly, so Ibaka was alone.
It can't match everyone, so let's make a big change. Directly switch to blocking the opponent's pick-and-roll and passing routes. Of course, there is a price. After all, the Thunder is not a strong defensive team, so the price is not small. It must be
Giving up a lot of delays will inevitably increase the number of out-of-position situations. However, the effect is also there. The Lakers did not hit the first ball well and were almost intercepted by their opponents.
Then with the ball in hand, the Thunder launched a "Westbrook Blitz."
What is a "Westbrook Blitz"? People who are familiar with Westbrook know that his ability to dribble the ball across the court is the best in the league and is invincible. To put it simply, he can dribble the ball across the half court and shoot in four seconds. It is not unconventional.
Tactical ability. This ability, Westbrook can easily unleash. It's very simple. I don't believe it. Just look at the playoffs this year in the original time and space, how Westbrook started playing frequently under the coaching of Billy Dovanno.
"Westbrook Blitz". The so-called blitz is 4 seconds.
This is a tactic designed by Billy Donovan for the Thunder based on Westbrook's characteristics.
The above is absolutely true and is not an exaggeration. Friends who are interested can go and watch the playoffs of that year to see what the "Westbrook Lightning Tactics" is. This is a common tactic when playing against the Spurs in the playoffs.
.
By teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, Billy Donovan is no longer a mediocre coach. His years in college were not in vain.
The Lakers were a little confused by this wave at first, because it was indeed too fast. It was rare to see such a starting point in the No. 1 position before. Rondo was also a little embarrassed. He is actually still very young, just now
It hasn't been long since he turned 30, and he hasn't gained any weight, so there's no reason for his speed to slow down too much. 30-year-old is the golden period for NBA players. However, Rondo just can't keep up, well, don't be too slow.
, just couldn't keep up with the opponent. Westbrook, who was running wildly, was really an animal.
too fast.
No wonder it’s called the “Westbrook Lightning Tactics.” This tactic is basically impossible to copy.
The physical requirements for initiators are too high.
If the Lakers are directly hit, their footing will be unstable. If their footing is not stable, the defensive line will not be in place. In this way, the Thunder can find gaps, attack directly, and win in chaos. This is also the rhythm that the Thunder needs. In the first quarter, they were defeated
The opponent scored 17 points with this. Larry Brown expressed his displeasure and quickly called a timeout to adjust. During the timeout, ESPN also loudly praised Billy Donovan's coaching ability. He said that he is indeed a super player in the NCAA.
The famous coach is so talented in making adjustments to break the game. The Lakers' wish to win 2 consecutive games at home may be in vain.
Tianchao Sports Station also used replays to make some statistics on the Thunder's attacks just now.
For example, at 11 minutes and 45 seconds, Westbrook held the ball in the backcourt and pushed. After forcibly passing Rondo, he did not pass the ball. He went straight in and hit the Lakers inside. Although he did not get a free throw, he relied on his strong
With his balance ability and touch, he still scored this goal. Look at the goal time, 11 minutes and 41 seconds. Another example is at 8 minutes and 44 seconds, Westbrook made a quick push from the backcourt, and it was a three-pointer from the bottom corner.
.The Lakers did not retreat in time and were hit by a three-pointer. When the person in the bottom corner took the shot, the time was 8 minutes and 40 seconds. In addition to these, there were many other 5 seconds, 6 seconds and 7 seconds. Compared with him,
The German coach's "7 seconds or less" seems to have become a bit slow.
This is not really because the Lakers retreated quickly, it was just that the Thunder were too fast.
Even Weiping Don Bryant marveled at the power of the "Westbrook Blitz". Compared to our country's No. 1 position, it was simply beyond a dimension. It was too strong. Of course, there were a lot of mistakes.
, but the Thunder have already calculated this. It is impossible to play so fast and keep the turnover rate low. That is really superhuman. If Paul plays like this, he will probably not be able to get a favor.
Also because Westbrook played like this, the Thunder started to speed up. This is the rhythm they want.
Both sides have their own advantages in substitute time. Although the Lakers also kept Butler on the court, they were still no match for Durant. Coupled with Nick Young's average touch tonight, the Thunder led 28-19, 9 in the first quarter.
Leading the Lakers in the away game. In the second quarter, the Lakers relied on Pierce to score two goals, but the opponent felt good tonight and missed a wave of three-pointers. This made the Lakers' substitute time not advantageous at all.
On the contrary, it was suppressed a lot.
In addition to their aggressive and aggressive use of targeted passes and pick-and-rolls in this game, the Lakers also made a lot of mistakes. At least compared to the last game, there are already a lot more. Larry Brown also
Adjusting immediately, the Lakers reduced their investment in offensive rebounds, which allowed the team to retreat faster to curb the opponent's "Westbrook Blitz Tactics." Then the offensive end played a few wide-range passes, but it was a pity that
Unfortunately, the ball didn't even go in. Perhaps it was also because the opponents interfered and destroyed the pass very hard, resulting in the quality of passing and receiving being not very high. On the contrary, the Thunder played harder and harder, and the more they played, the smoother they became. Once a team like them
If the car is driven smoothly, it is very likely that the accelerator will be stepped on hard, and when the time comes, even if you want to ask them to brake, they will not be able to brake.
Relying on this, the Spurs were beaten many times by them back then.
Seeing that something was wrong, Larry Brown called another timeout. This time, he directly pulled the Lakers' No. 29 and said: "Hot~ Wait for it, you come and fight. Fight to death."
Don't you want to rely on breaking passes and pick-and-rolls to defend? You can, but I want to see how you can defend the long-distance shooting on the weak side after sacrificing delay and defensive transition? Bully our current three-point shooting.
Not online? Okay~ Do you think my old man has nothing to do? Nonsense! Can I just play singles?
Let's see how long you can last like this.
It’s not like there aren’t people we can play alone with.
Hot, it'll be up to you later, don't hold back, just beat them to death!
Let’s see who is more anxious, them or us!!!
PS: I’m so late tonight. I’m really sorry. Xiao Zi has no choice but to work overtime temporarily~ It’s not a big company after all. Most of the time it’s just the above sentence. Alas, it’s sad. In fact, there is no overtime pay.
