Naturally, people from Tianchao Sports Station also came to the first game, and they came to record the latest episode of NBA Charge Line. The leader was naturally Zhang Lili, an old acquaintance, and Zhang gave guidance.
"Xiao Tang, congratulations on receiving your second championship ring in your career. What do you think of the new season?" Zhang Weiping loves Tang Qian 1.2 million times. Especially when he leads the national team in history
When he broke into the semi-finals, he was even more excited at home for a while. This little old man is also an athlete, with a very strong body. He flies around the country and abroad without showing any signs of fatigue. "Director Zhang, the new
This season we are still the same, championship, Larry O'Brien Cup." Tang Qian's answer did not meet Zhang Weiping's expectations. He smiled and continued to ask about the hot topic at the moment: "But this year's Western Conference situation is very chaotic.
, the Rockets have formed a lightbulb combination, and after a complete pre-game training camp, it should not be underestimated. Especially the Golden State Warriors, who recruited Durant, the peak scorer for many times during the offseason. In addition, the Spurs are as stable as ever.
team and the other powerful players in the Western Conference, do the Lakers have the confidence to defeat them?"
"Of course, Director Zhang, they are very strong, but we are the strongest."
"Oh, that's a very Tang Qian-like answer. Let's talk about tonight's game. What are your plans to face the Rockets in the first game?"
"It would be a mistake to send them to open the door." Tang Qianyan said concisely and comprehensively.
"What do you think of the Chinese player Zhou Mowang of the Rockets? Are you looking forward to his performance tonight?" There is no answer to this question. Now that both teams have Chinese players, it would be remiss not to ask. And Wang Mowang will not be able to play in the new season.
He was cut off in the first three days, so he was not included in the NBA roster. Now there are only three Chinese players who are fully qualified, Tang Qian, Yi Jianlian, and Zhou Qi.
Tang Qian was a little speechless. He didn't even get a few minutes of performance time in the preseason. I guess he was even more worried during the regular season, so he just casually spoke a few perfunctory words and ended the conversation.
…
"Tomorrow's exclusive interview will require your cooperation, Xiao Tang." The staff behind Zhang Weiping turned off the camera and began to speak to Tang Qian in a private capacity. "Well, I can do it, Director Zhang." Tang Qian finished.
After shaking hands with Zhang Weiping, we entered the formal warm-up phase.
Zhang Weiping then went to interview the Chinese player Zhou Mowang on the other side.
Unsurprisingly, there will definitely be some kind of China Derby in China, but in fact, Zhou Mowang was lucky enough to be included in the official team roster. Why? Because there are a few people on the Rockets who were a little timid during training.
He was injured and entered the injured list, so he gave Demon King Zhou a chance to play for the first time tonight. Unlike Tang Qian, Demon King Zhou said a lot, but from the looks of Zhang Weiping, he was not as good as No. 29 opposite him.
Calm. To put it simply, it is a little "floating".
To be honest, from Zhang Weiping's point of view, he really doesn't know what Demon King Zhou has to do now.
You haven't even sat down at the water cooler, have you? You're still trying your best to bring a wonderful derby feast to the domestic fans.
This is really...
This means that Demon King Zhou has just come to the United States and is still high-spirited, and the outside world still has certain expectations for him. After these expectations are gone, it will be time for him to suffer. At that time, look at his interviews to see how dull
Mainly negative.
In fact, there is no need. It’s just that his positioning in the NBA is too high. In fact, it would be good to work hard to be in the rotation. It is not easy to break into the starting lineup. Of course, the domestic media must be exaggerating.
, saying that he is the inside model that the Rockets need most now, but in fact, don’t the coaches and management know about it?
They couldn't believe that this player could make the same rapid progress as the Nuggets' "Teacher Yue".
In that case, they will definitely spare no effort to create stars. A Chinese player with the potential of Yao Ming or Tang Qian is the key to truly maximizing the Chinese market. It is not like now, just a "mascot" bought with money.
.However, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, and Tang Qian did not play particularly well when they first came to the NBA. It would take at least a few games or more than a dozen games to adapt. This is not impossible. Now the Rockets management does not want a stick.
Beat him to death. After all, Demon King Zhou’s physical hardware is still very good.
Coupled with the Chinese market behind it, it’s not impossible to have a little more patience.
Today's Staples Center is very lively. The opening game + the awarding of championship rings + the opponent is the Rockets. Many people are willing to come and pay for it. Of course, Staples Center has never lacked attendance. This is absolutely amazing.
No problem. It doesn't matter if it's the former Great Western Forum or the current Staples Arena.
On the Rockets side, Harden began to mobilize: "Starting from today, we will make the Rockets red all over the league! This is the first game of the new season. Everyone must go all out and not let the Lakers look down on them.
Killed us!!!" After Howard left, Harden began to enjoy the majesty of the boss more and more. Paul came this time as a nominal dual-core, and he is absolutely recognized as the team leader. So when it comes to talking,
Very proud and full of power. "We are also going to break the record of not winning against the Los Angeles Lakers for 2 seasons! If we do it, I will invite everyone to a nightclub in Angeles City tonight to have fun!!!
"
In fact, it's Harden who wants to go... After he broke up with Kardashian, he is currently in a gap period. Although he left the latter, he immediately felt that his waist was no longer sore, his legs were stronger, and walking was not easy.
I have asthma, but it’s still not good if I hold it in for a long time. Although people in the United States don’t know the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, they also know the principle of “too much is not enough”.
Damn it, I've been so empty during this period that I'm about to have a nocturnal emission, okay?
I am a bearded bin Laden, no, no, I am a bearded nightclub denizen. How could it be so miserable, right?
Because these words have "substantial temptation", don't say it, but they are quite contagious. It seems that Harden's leadership skills have also improved a lot.
D'Antoni also had a brief communication with Tang Qian before the game: "Tang, congratulations on your success in reaching the top."
Tang Qian also said: "Congratulations on finding a new job. Last time we were only a little bit close. We will win even if we don't call a timeout in the finals." D'Antoni shook his head and smiled: "There is nothing to regret.
Yes, it’s not like I haven’t won a championship with the Lakers, so it’s just a bit regretful at best. But this season, you won’t have it easy.”
"I'm sorry, Mr. D'Antoni, the Rockets can't beat us." When it comes to this issue, Tang Qian has nothing to be polite about, he is just rude. Friendship belongs to affection, and others belong to farewell.
should not be confused with each other.
"That's what I want to say, hot."
…
The Lakers' starting lineup is still Tang Qian + Randle + Ariza + Butler + Rondo. After a year of cooperation, now is the time when they have a chemical spark with each other, and the tacit understanding is very good. The Rockets have arranged
A lineup of Harden + Gordon + Clint Capela + Ryan Anderson + Chris Paul. This is a typical D'Antoni lineup. Although there is Nene on the bench, the German coach still chooses Ryan.
.Anderson. Because Ryan Anderson has range and is a strong large shooter.
This alone can make it stand out.
For such a player who has only averaged 12+ points per game in his career, even if he is very accurate in three-point shooting, it is only now possible to catch up to 20 million a year. And to be honest, at this price, he is not worth it. Because besides
Three-pointers are not outstanding in other categories, but in D'Antoni's hands, he is still valuable. Although he has a tendency to become marginalized in the end, this is not the case this season.
The inside man is still the "Cake King" Capela. Capela seems to have gotten a lot stronger this season. However, from Tang Qian's point of view, he is still a "little skinny chicken". And he is only 208cm tall. No matter how powerful he is, he is just like this. Independent
If the problem of weak offensive ability is not solved, it will basically not cause any trouble to you. And if you want to hit him, you can do it with your eyes closed.
You say he is tough? How can Cousins be tougher? Now Cousins is no match for Tang Qian. Capela is nothing.
From the beginning, the Rockets made completely different changes from last season.
Pick-and-roll, pick-and-roll, pick-and-roll, a lot of pick-and-roll, and then create mismatches before shooting and attacking again.
This is completely different from the past. The previous Rockets did not have such a decisive and obvious strategy. Until last season, Houston was dominated by "blind hits". The Lakers were a little lax at the beginning.
So he was beaten 8-2 by his opponent very quickly. Two three-pointers and two free throws, and he scored 8 points all of a sudden. The shot was very decisive and fast, which is very typical of D'Antoni's playing style.
This team looks like it's going to score like crazy this year.
But it’s not unusual for Tang Qian, because he also knows D’Antoni’s style of play, which is like this, using offense instead of defense, scoring points quickly and losing points just as fast. So just attack well and strengthen the defense.
.But the Rockets' surprise to the Lakers is not over yet. On the defensive end, they actually... kept switching defenses???
This is, unlimited defense changes???
Everyone on the Lakers is a little surprised. In fact, the only ones in the league who are actually playing this game and playing it well last season are the Lakers and Warriors. Rockets? Is it possible? Are you kidding us? But the purple and gold will be here soon.
The army discovered that the opponent's defensive tactics were really not fake. They were well-organized and executed very smoothly. This shows that the pre-season training camp did not neglect them.
But, how could D'Antoni get involved with defense??? This is because Tang Qian didn't live long enough in his last life. If he had lived long enough, he would definitely know that D'Antoni later implemented unlimited defense changes in the Rockets and was quite successful. Defense
The efficiency skyrocketed, and in the playoffs it was even as high as the top three defensive efficiency in the league. It almost brought down the Universe Yong with this method.
Moreover, D'Antoni invited Jeff Bzdelik. This guy is a master at adjusting the team's defense. The original "Hellfire Unlimited Defense" of the Space-Time Rockets was the product of his cooperation with D'Antoni. And
Naturally, the former has much greater credit in this regard. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Rockets' defense has improved this season.
A defensive D'Antoni? This is still a bit powerful.
The Lakers were a little slow and confused in the first quarter, which led to the Rockets scoring 38 points all of a sudden, which many Lakers fans said was unacceptable. They lost 38 points in a single quarter, and the opponent didn't have the referee to take care of it on purpose. What's going on?
ah?
Are the Lakers too obsessed with championship rings?
Rockets fans were a little overjoyed and felt like they had seen a new world.
But the Lakers will also make adjustments. Larry Brown is not a fool. Last year, he led the Lakers to a record of 70 wins in the regular season and a complete victory in the playoffs. His coaching ability and qualifications are both good.
He said he wanted to beat D'Antoni, so he quickly made the first wave of adjustments during the bench time. He used the bench time to vigorously attack the opponent's defense.
Gasol takes the lead on the inside, and the rest of the team plays on the outside when they have the opportunity. With the substitute lineup, the Lakers' defense is very strong, even surpassing the defensive ability of the average team's starting lineup. When they play like this, they will soon start chasing points.
It's really not a lie. Look at the Lakers now. Gasol protects the basket. He also blocked 2+ shots last season. Although the Eastern All-Star insider is one year older this season, he has not deteriorated.
High, so both offense and defense are good. Needless to say, Beverley + Covington are all defensive generals at the defensive level. In addition, Josh Smith has basically restored 70 to 80% of the defensive level of the year. This is equal to
There are few points that can be easily eaten. Besides, the Rockets do not have many offensive personnel on the bench this season, and they were quickly suppressed by the Lakers. D'Antoni did not panic, and immediately replaced Paul to lead the team.
As a team, with Paul controlling the overall situation of the system, the Rockets will at least not have no offensive firepower.
The points are being eroded by the Lakers, but they haven't caught up yet, giving the main lineup a lot of rest time.
Besides, the teams under the German coach are very good at attacking in waves. Once they go smoothly, the score will be opened again. And don’t forget, in D’Antoni’s system, as long as the controller is not controlled
, then it can bring extra offensive firepower to the players of the whole team. Paul naturally meets this condition. As a generation point guard master, he forced the bench lineup to start to resist the Lakers' bench lineup. The Lakers' first bench time
The team chased the points, but did not reach the imagined standard.
The Rockets are currently 48-35, still leading the Lakers by 13 points.
Didn't expect the Rockets to have this ability this season? In addition, the Lakers started to get a bit of a "slap in the face", so the current situation is that the Houston Rockets have the advantage on the court. It seems that the German coach will take charge of this Rockets team.
It’s really not an ordinary fit. It’s okay, then I’ll feel relieved.
Mr. D'Antoni, even if we let you down earlier, now it's time to fight hard.
Tang Qian said a few words to Larry Brown, and then the latter nodded in agreement, and the Lakers changed formations and started again.
ps: Thanks to the leader of Fat Paper Mr. Sen for the reward~Thank you~
