Westbrook's lightning tactics are indeed a wonderful change. They took the opportunity to gain momentum. The Lakers were a little out of shape due to their poor outside touch. I have never seen such a fierce advancement speed. It's too fast.
It's a bit explosive. This is the first time Rondo has encountered such a point guard tactic, and he is still confused. But Larry Brown has changed his tactics, and he has adopted a superstar ball method to deal with it. The Lakers' 29
No., he was the basis for dismantling the Thunder's tactics.
How to disintegrate? Step by step.
Rondo passed the ball in, Tang Qian held the ball in the low post, and he hit with his back. After pushing away Adams, he easily scored. Because the opponent invested too much in defending the pick-and-roll and passing the ball, the Thunder team, which was originally average in defense,
The whole team didn't care about Tang Qian. After the Lakers scored, Westbrook wanted to tell him to push quickly and end the offense in 4 seconds. However? He hit a wall this time. How should I say? Because he had just passed by the Lakers.
The team had already taken a position, leaving him no opportunity to take advantage of it.
Westbrook had no choice, he hesitated, the rhythm slowed down, the positional attack failed, and the Lakers got the rebound.
The Lakers are actually still in a period of excessive substitute time and main force time, so the defense cannot be stronger than before. So why couldn't they defend just now, but now they are perfectly retreating? The Lakers gave Tang Qian, and Tang Qian was in the low post.
After eating again, Adams tried his best, but still couldn't stop him. The opponent's huge butt made him suffer repeatedly. After squeezing in, he raised his hand and hit the board with a low post to score.
Westbrook pushed again, but this time... it still didn't work???
What's going on? Is the defensive power of this mixed lineup really better than the main lineup? Of course it's impossible, then... Thunder head coach Billy Donovan looked at it from the sidelines and saw the problem. No.
Why does the opponent's mixed lineup have stronger defensive capabilities, but the opponent retreats earlier? To put it simply, except for Tang Qian, the other four people started to retreat very early, and they didn't even have the slightest intention of going in to grab offensive rebounds.
. It was just used as a containment. After seeing No. 29 take action, he immediately retreated. In this way, it does feel a bit like "one person is playing and four people are watching the show", but it also ensures the team's retreat to the maximum extent.
speed.
However, do you really believe in that Easterner?
If he doesn't attack well, you'll just have to wait for us to constantly fight back on defense.
That's what Billy Donovan was thinking now, but immediately, his expression changed a bit. Because the Easterner's offensive singles in the interior and low post were a bit unstoppable. He really wasn't the team's Steven Adams.
If you defend well but don't defend hard enough, you just...can't guard against your opponent. You can't imitate the ease with which your opponent attacks you one by one.
It was as if Steven Adams, who played wildly, was like a high school student, crushing his body, then shooting, waiting for the basketball to hit the net.
Steven Adams was so angry, but whether he puffed out his cheeks or not, he couldn't change the situation. The Lakers' No. 29's personal offensive ability made it a bit difficult for him to withstand. He even doubted that if he kept doing this
If you keep defending, the opponent can easily score 50, 60 or even higher points.
I can't help it, these thick shoulders, this huge butt, these strong triceps, mommy, compared with him, I am just an ordinary human being. You must know that compared with ordinary people, in the NBA
All the players are already "non-human". This only shows how much psychological pressure Steven Adams is under now. It's so fucked up.
It feels like it reminds me of the time when my sister ravaged me when I was a child.
Can you give me some dignity?
Tang Qian's answer is, no.
Steven Adams is not considered to have lost weight in this era, he is 255 pounds, but it is still not enough. Tang Qian can still crush and fight easily, with a very high success rate. It also got Adams into foul trouble very quickly. In addition,
The "Westbrook Blitz" tactic was also suppressed. The Thunder did not play well during this period, and Billy Donovan chose to time out. He immediately thought of a way. Didn't the opponent just want to rely on the No. 29 offense?
Well, it seems that they have curbed the "Westbrook blitz tactics", but in fact they are treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. After no one can score on the 29th, they will no longer be able to maintain this retreat speed, and that will be their own ball.
It's time for the team to pursue and fight fiercely. So, just consume him and adopt wheel tactics to see how long No. 29 can last.
This tactic makes sense. If the superstar ball cannot hold up, then this section can just push through. There is no need to change it at all.
Now this is what Billy Donovan means, he wants to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.
As for the Lakers, they are also very tough. If you don't change the tactics, you will still defend alone, right? Then we will continue to attack this point. See if we can beat you to death! Tang Qian was also unambiguous and beat Adams.
Playing Kanter again, there was no pressure at all. In fact, when the Thunder replaced Kanter, Tang Qian scored more easily. It was like going to the 17th or 18th floor in one breath, without any effort at all.
Well, he is indeed the worst defender in the league when playing the fifth position. It is so comfortable to play. If he had to keep guarding me, I would probably lose 60 minutes tonight. It is equivalent to using defense.
For the worst defender to defend Kobe Jordan and a super scorer, he is really committing suicide. How far has Tang Qian scored now? In fact, he has never really exerted himself in the regular season, so he doesn't know his own ability.
What level of scoring energy is it at? But it is definitely much better than before. Let’s check it out tonight.
By the way, thank you to the Thunder for the warmth.
Can you beat someone in singles? Then look at the level of the person who performs singles. If it is a super scorer level, or even just a quasi-super scorer level, then forget about it and use one-on-one defense unless the defensive point is really
Very powerful. Otherwise, it will allow the opponent to score high points. O'Neal, do you dare to use someone to defend alone? Even if it is any of the four major centers, it is impossible. It is better than the shot-blocking king Olajuwon, alone.
He also couldn't stop O'Neal on the defensive end. He was able to narrowly win because of the combined offensive and defensive ends. If he were purely defensive, he couldn't stop O'Neal. These are the four major centers and Olajuwon.
What about the rest? The current Thunder insiders? Isn’t that looking for death?
Tang Qian's score continued to improve, and his condition was slowly improving. This made the Thunder's assistant coaches a little anxious, and asked: "Billy, do you really not want to do some targeted defense? This Eastern center
It's unusual." Billy Donovan thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "One person can't defeat the overall situation. And I would rather be killed by one point than be fully activated by the opponent. That way, it would be more difficult to deal with.
Have you forgotten the last one?"
There is nothing wrong with Billy Donovan's words, and his considerations are reasonable. Besides... he really doesn't think that the physical fitness of Eastern players can last for long. This point is the same so far, whether it is Yao Ming or Jeremy Lin.
He is not good at fighting for a long time. After fighting for a long time, his physical fitness will definitely decline. Therefore, he wanted to use a "stupid" and "more traditional" method to drag down the Lakers. When he failed on the 29th, Westbrook's lightning tactics were launched again.
You can definitely defeat the enemy with one blow.
Even if the opponent will carry out detailed targeting, this time it will be too late.
The possibility of the Thunder winning the game is not small. Going back to Goose City with a big score of 1-1, the psychological advantage will be different from going back 0-2.
Seeing that the opponent had not changed in the second half, Larry Brown thought to himself: Hey, he is quite persistent and tolerable. It seems that he has made up his mind to fight us to the end at this point? Okay, we will accompany you.
ah.
"Tang, are you in good physical condition for the second half?" Larry Brown asked.
"Okay, I didn't play much before the first half. Now that I have rested for so long, there is no pressure at all." Tang Qian said with a smile: "And the opponent's defense is of such a low level, what should I be afraid of? Even if my physical fitness declines, I can easily play against each other.
"It's a slingshot." "I like what you said." Seeing the team's boss confident, Larry Brown nodded and said, "Then let's fight to the death and see if our superstar ball can be blown away."
Their patience.”
Tang Qian also lived up to expectations and continued to score. It didn't take long for Steven Adams to commit 4 fouls and had to be dismissed again. Then Tang Qian faced off against the defensive scumbag Enes Kanter. Seeing Kanter, Tang Qian
Diving is a sight that shines before your eyes. When will you encounter such a fat and oily prey in the playoffs? Or will you focus on one-on-one defense?
If you don't defeat the opponent and score more points, you really don't know what God has given you for this opportunity.
On the offensive end, Kanter can't beat Tang Qian at all. No matter how good his hand skills are for an insider with no shooting range, he is just like that. When he comes up, he becomes a human sandbag. In addition to being beaten, he is still beaten. The other functions are,
It's all a waste of time. Even Kanter himself felt that his days were like a year, but their head coach Billy Donovan still didn't give up.
Donovan was still gritting his teeth and insisting. He didn't believe that the opponent could really kill him with one point.
Beat your own team.
In fact, there are not many tricks that the Thunder can play. This is the same as always, so the score difference has been slowly overtaken by the Lakers. They must be tired, they must not be able to do it, and they cannot give up at this time. Persistence!
Billy Donovan was hypnotizing himself to give himself the confidence to persevere. He also asked the assistant coach on the side to calculate how much playing time he would have on the 29th tonight. According to the regular season calculation, 38 minutes is the limit.
, the confrontation intensity in the playoffs will be greater, and the physical consumption will be even higher. During this period, the Lakers are still relying heavily on No. 29’s individual singles. Billy Donovan thinks that it can only last 35 minutes at most, and Tang Qian will start to get physical.
Slumping, his ability began to decline. Well, the calculation made sense, but they didn't know that Tang Qianqian broke through his physical fitness crystal brick in the last game of the regular season, so now, he has more than this physical fitness.
"How long? The playing time of No. 29!" Billy Donovan turned around and asked after seeing Tang Qian score another goal.
"It's been 34 minutes," the assistant coach replied.
"Yeah." Donovan nodded. He felt that the Lakers were about to reach their limit, and then his tactics would be a great success. Persistence is king. Donovan's persistence actually had an effect in the original time and space, and it was still called
Miraculous effect. He blocked the Spurs' goal and didn't let go. In the end, even though Aldridge scored 41 points, they still lost.
This is indeed a realistic version of persistence and victory.
However, that is Aldridge, that is not Tang Qian. The two of them are not on the same level now in terms of offensive power and physical fitness. And now because the Lakers retreat very quickly, the Thunder cannot counterattack at a high speed and are defending themselves.
There is no need to waste too much energy on the end. Are you talking about the Thunder's inside line? Just ask if Adams can play? After Kanter was blocked a few times by Don, he was a little timid and did not take the initiative to attack in the future.
.In this way, Tang Qian can have more energy for attacking.
The Thunder's inside line was in darkness.
"Billy, are you still holding on? Enes has already committed 4 fouls." The Thunder assistant coach said worriedly. Donovan just turned around and asked: "How long? Played on the 29th?" "It's been 38 minutes.
!" The assistant coach said: "Are you going to continue?"
"Continue!" Billy Donovan gritted his teeth and said. He had no way out now. He could see that the Thunder team had been waiting for this. Charge, charge, charge...
Waiting to give the Lakers a decisive counterattack.
However, No. 29 is still scoring, and he has already been in great form. If he continues like this, Jordan's playoff scoring record will really be lost. The Thunder will soon pay for their stupid comeback. When the Lakers
After the team directly killed Adams and Kanter on the 29th, the Thunder's inside line completely collapsed and they could only rely on the power forward to defend. This made it easier for Tang Qian to score.
When Tang Qian's personal score increased to 55 points, the Thunder finally collapsed, and the score difference widened to 10 points. Westbrook was anxious and struck a blow, and the game ended. Tang Qian finally scored 58 points. 18
He had 3 rebounds, 5 blocks, and 1 assist. His shooting percentage was close to 90%, completely destroying the Thunder's inside line.
Kanter and Steven Adams only scored 10 points in this game. They were directly destroyed by Tang Qian alone.
Billy Donovan watched the Lakers take away the victory at home, and the audience cheered, and he was a little lost:
This Easterner has so much offensive firepower? Is it a coincidence tonight, or is he really that strong? He is so strong only to average 25 points per game in the regular season? You are not a veteran, why are you so deceptive? Billy Donovan
He is fully responsible for the Thunder's defeat tonight. Because of his mistakes in tactical decisions, the Lakers scored a super high score on the 29th and directly defeated the Thunder.
Charge, charge, charge? Then the Lakers didn't even give them a chance to punch again on the 29th.
Accumulating strength... almost suffocating themselves to death.
This win is really refreshing. It would be great if the Thunder defended themselves like this every game.
Then your scoring data will go to heaven.
But just think about it, the other party is not a fool, there is no way he will not adjust.
When being interviewed by tonight's best player, Tang Qian said directly:
Our goal is to go to Goose City to end the battle, and we don't plan to come back again.
Regarding this, I want to apologize to all Los Angeles fans.
This guy is so direct. But he's also very to the point.
Larry Brown pushed up his glasses and walked into the players' tunnel.
The Lakers defeated their opponents 98-92 at home, with a 7-point victory, and the series score was 2-0.
