"I didn't expect the Lakers to be in a tough fight. In the first game, we can clearly see the progress of the Rockets." Yu Jia, a commentator on Tianchao Sports Channel, said. "The offensive firepower has improved significantly, but this is also expected. The thing is, D'Antoni's magic weapon is this. The Rockets have a point guard master, so this is not the key. The key is their defense. I don't know if you have noticed, but this season the Rockets have an obvious defensive system. If you read it correctly, this should be unlimited defense changes." Yangyi said: "The Rockets don't look simple this season. The arms race in the NBA cannot be underestimated. The Rockets now have a super guard, and the backcourt has already They are invincible. This season's Western Conference giants should have their share."
"Then do you think the Lakers can adjust?" Yu Jia continued to ask.
"It's hard to say. The strength of the Lakers is still one of the best in the league. Last year's 16-0 invincible sweep and strong championship is the proof. The main thing is to see how they respond and adjust." As Yang Yi was talking, he saw in the broadcast signal, the Lakers The team's No. 9 started to take the initiative to ask for the ball. He didn't have too much aggressive desire in the past, and connecting his teammates was what he wanted to do. But now that the situation is unfavorable, it's time for him to stand up.
"Give it to Tang Qian. Tang Qian took the initiative to ask for the ball. This is probably the first time this season that he has taken the initiative to ask for the ball to attack." Yu Jiandao: "It is said that Tang Qian has grown a lot this offseason. I don't know why. Is it true? At this level, how much can he grow?"
"Super stars can always bring unexpected surprises to the world." Yangyi did not give the answer directly. He also learned after last season that he would not speak out easily to avoid being slapped in the face. But in his heart, he also I want to know, already at this level, can it really be improved?
The answer is... Tang Qian got stuck inside and wanted the ball. Capela came over to push him, trying to interfere. At this time, the latter seemed to see the former... seeming to be shaking slightly??? Shaking? Why are you shaking? Afraid. Stage fright? How is it possible? Even the "Cake King" Capella himself wouldn't believe it when he said this.
Who is this person? He is the core boss of the Lakers. He is a tyrant. How can he still be afraid of himself?
Isn’t this nonsense? It’s not like you’re dreaming now, right?
So this is...the tremor of excitement. People are afraid of having this feeling. They will also feel it when they are excited.
Tang Qian is just excited. His hard training in the offseason has now made him close to success in many aspects, such as tonnage and strength, back-up skills and back-up rhythm, etc. Therefore, he is actually very eager to know, in real life In the regular season, what kind of offensive power or destructive power can you produce?
He wasn't too proactive just now. It was to activate his teammates to take care of them, not because he didn't want to.
Now, the opportunity has come.
After Tang Qian got the ball, he didn't hesitate at all. He turned around and found that the place in front of him was empty.
What's going on? Forget it, let's dunk! With a bang, a one-handed dunk went into the Rockets' basket.
As for why it was empty, where was the "Cake King" Capela? Where was the center position of the Rockets? It turned out that Tang Qian turned around and was knocked down directly to the ground. With just one turn, he was knocked down. Tang Qian was knocked down. Qiandu hasn't deliberately sought out him to exert force. Of course, this has something to do with Capela that he didn't expect, but... it's enough to explain a lot of things.
What kind of strength does this guy have? If you take a closer look, he seems to be even stronger than last season. He worked hard to gain 10 pounds of muscle in the offseason, and he looks good. He seems to have more than that. And he went from 0 pounds to
It has increased to 40 pounds. Is this guy's starting point? He started at close to 09 pounds, okay? The difficulty of gaining 10 pounds of muscle is completely different. Moreover, Capela now suspects that he has not only gained this little
.
Sure enough, while fighting for the board position, Capela found that he couldn't stand up to this oriental man at all. Apart from meaninglessly "twisting" behind him, Capela did not know what else he did. On the offensive end
Tang Qian turned around again, and Capella gritted his teeth and lowered his waist to resist, but... she still couldn't stop it once he touched it.
What can't be stopped? I can't stop falling to the ground.
How much lighter is he now than Tang Qian? A full 85 pounds or more. Even if this is converted into ordinary high-fat fat, it is a bit incredible, not to mention it is basically pure muscle? Plus there are
The muscle strength of various parts has improved, my dear, now Tang Qian really feels like he has to hit a space inside from behind, and it is as easy as eating and drinking.
Bang~ Because Capela fell down again, Tang Qian did not hesitate, jumped up and hit a two-handed dunk, once again helping the Lakers score. Bill McDonald's shouts also rang out at the Staples Center.
: "Slam.Dunk~Tyrant~Don~~~"
To be honest, Tang Qian felt a huge sense of accomplishment and pleasure when he heard his standard Chinese name rang out at the Lakers' home court. This made him even more energetic, and he became more powerful on both offense and defense.
As several Rockets failed to score, the Lakers almost caught up with the score relying on Tang Qian alone. On the offensive end, the Rockets relied on Capela, which had no good results at all. But the original D'Antoni system
The main purpose of the game is to replace defense with offense, so it doesn't matter if you can't guard No. 9, just hit it yourself. Now that you can't play well in this section, you can only choose to call a timeout. As soon as D'Antoni came up, he quickly arranged a
After the new tactics were put on the court again, the Rockets' offense took the lead in making some small changes.
Team Rocket actually started running wildly.
Damn~ It’s really chaotic, but Paul can stay calm. No matter how chaotic it is, he can channel it in place and find open teammates as soon as possible. This is the ability of a master point guard. The Lakers’ situation is a bit led.
Chaos, this tactic can't actually be called a tactic, because it is basically taking advantage of the ball handler's connection and organizational ability. If the ball handler is not capable enough and has insufficient vision, then he is waiting for a mistake. The German coach is very concerned about the No. 1 position.
There really is a way to activate it.
It is said that if the No. 1 position cannot be played in his hands, then it cannot be played.
Paul is now different from the original time and space. He has exploded a lot, and his personal ability is closer to his peak. In this way, he can forcefully hold back the second team and give the main force, especially Harden, more rest time. This is also
There is no way around it. Although James Harden is now the No. 1 point guard, his physical fitness has always been a big problem. Whether it is the regular season or the playoffs, physical fitness is a shortcoming. This is still his defense.
The maximum amount of time he can contribute when he is not paddling hard. If he were to play a combination of offense and defense, it would probably be even worse. Looking at the playoffs, after averaging more than 40+ minutes per game, the efficiency of the entire playoffs can be said to be
It's a crazy decline. The only two times in my career so far, I only had a shooting rate of 8-9%.
In addition, he was born with asthma, so he has more physical requirements. D'Antoni made arrangements for this very early.
In addition to the opening, stagger the playing time of the light bulb combination, and then reunite at the end to use their strength together to kill the opponent.
A good plan. D'Antoni is still capable after all. Compared with the former coach of the Rockets McHale, he is simply in the sky and on the earth. But it didn't last long. In the next round, the Lakers stabilized the situation. Tang Qianqian
The inside basket directly gave orders: Don't worry about these people running around, just defend as close as possible, if not, switch defenses, as for the inside...
I'll take care of it.
D'Antoni sighed a little when he saw the Lakers quickly stabilized the situation. He had witnessed the personal growth of No. 9. Unexpectedly, until now, he still felt that he still underestimated him. This person, if he is still
With this Rockets team under his own hands, D'Antoni has great confidence in winning the championship. Even the Universe is not afraid of it.
Paul + Harden + Tang Qian, this inside and outside combination, plus a little D point that can shoot three-pointers, is enough.
It's a pity that this only exists in fantasy. Now No. 9 has become an iconic figure of the Lakers. He led the team to win the championship and won the playoffs. This series of honors is enough for him to be in the Staples Center.
, hang up his jersey. Unless he suffers a huge injury or regresses, the Lakers will never let him go. But right now, this lineup is fine.
No need to be greedy anymore.
D'Antoni made a tactical gesture on the sidelines. Paul quickly understood it after seeing it, and directly changed from the top arc organization to suddenly asking for a pick-and-roll breakthrough. Then after entering, he suddenly stopped and put half of the basket into the net. It turned out that just now "
"Running tactics" can also be connected with this change, which is indeed different from the previous Rockets. However, Mr. D'Antoni, do you think you can win like this? Do you really think that our invincible sweep last year was just for show?
Tang Qian saw that the Rockets' defense has improved this year. In addition, the Lakers took a "blow" from the opponent at the beginning of tonight. Now the team's feel and momentum are not able to develop, so he simply forces it himself. Tang Qian
How to do it? It's nothing more than entering the Rockets' interior early and beckoning for the ball. The Rockets have just been beaten so many times that they have to come to help defend, otherwise Capela in the pub will be beaten tonight.
This time, Tang Qian was given a chance. After assisting Crystal Brick to break through last year, his passing has reached a super-class level inside. Even a master of inside passing like Gasol is no match for Tang Qian now.
So he was almost quick, accurate and ruthless and moved the ball in his hands immediately. The Rockets were ruthless enough and immediately switched defenses and another person went to defend.
It's a pity that Tang Qian is not the kind of outside pass master who directly passes the ball to assists? He does more to organize and connect the team, so as soon as the Rockets came over, Beverley passed the ball.
It was given to Covington on the other side. Covington shot a three-pointer and hit the basket. Because it is still the second quarter, it is still in the transition stage between substitute time and main time.
People will only slowly change. This is the regular season after all, not the playoffs. It needs to be reasonably arranged to reduce season consumption.
Paul wanted to break in this time, but was entangled by Beverley. Beverley seemed to have the ambition to get back into the defense this season, so he has been working particularly hard on defense since the preseason. Of course,
Perhaps for him, apart from defense, he doesn't have many selling points on the court, and he still knows this very well.
Therefore, this bright spot must be maximized, otherwise the Lakers will one day no longer want themselves.
Substitute players are very risky, and even many of the main players are. Except for star players, the rest are not so safe. The mobility and elimination of the NBA are very scary, and even star players will be eliminated at once
This kind of thing is by no means rare. Paul wanted to pass the ball, but he was surrounded by Butler, who had just been replaced by the Lakers.
Yes, it was a double attack on the line, but Paul is a master of point guards. He quickly found the vacated player and wanted to let this player shoot. However, he suddenly discovered that the opponent's encirclement had just dispersed as soon as the ball passed by.
, Butler quickly returned to his position and made a very timely defensive interference. The shot missed and the Lakers protected the rebound.
On the offensive end, the Lakers still passed the ball inside from the top arc, spreading the ball from all sides, and then let Tang Qian lead the offense.
There was no other way, the Rockets had no choice but to come up to help defend. Then Tang Qian repeated his old trick, throwing the ball out of the basketball. This time Butler received the ball from the outside corner and raised his hand to shoot. Originally, the Rockets players were still thinking of luck.
I feel that Butler may not be able to score this goal. After all, Butler was in the Lakers' starting lineup last season and was a good blacksmith, and some people even gave up on him tactically in the series.
But this matter also caused some headaches for the Lakers. Now, Butler is confident and decisive in his shots.
Brush~The basketball hit the net~Butler hit a three-pointer.
Many Lakers fans were a little nervous at first, but they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the ball hit steadily. Unexpectedly, within a few seconds, Butler actually performed again, stealing a Rockets pass, and then ran over.
Just play. Someone on the Rockets inside was not slow to return to defense. By the time Butler came over, he had already entered the three-point line in advance.
This is to block Butler's fast break layup.
But who would have thought that Butler would actually... pull up and make a pull-up three-pointer?
I'm dizzy. Is this a shot? Do you really think you are a shooter?
Many Lakers fans who had just breathed a sigh of relief suddenly raised their hearts again, but it turned out that all their worries were in vain. Butler made the ball with a knife in his hand, and with a swipe, the orange basketball broke through the air and entered the net.
Get points again.
The score was so bad that it was completely evened out.
Butler's recovery is indeed not due to the low intensity of the preseason, but because he has really regained his focus.
At this moment, countless Lakers fans were filled with tears of joy.
There is no way, mainly because the scene last year was too heartbreaking.
After the second quarter, the Lakers overtook the lead and entered the locker room. Tang Qian also expressed praise for Butler's progressive attitude and said that he finally dared to pass the outside ball to Butler boldly. He passed it before and felt panicked.
ah.
Butler also said arrogantly, last season I just took a nap, now my sight is back, let's see who will attack me again!
Hehe, it seems that the collective complaints from netizens last year also caused a certain amount of "psychological damage" to Butler.
This is good now, Tang Qian encouraged, with this, your probability of entering the All-Stars this season will be greatly increased. Brother.
Butler also said, "If I don't get in this year, I will write a letter to scold the league office, scold the fans who don't support me, and scold the head coaches who didn't choose me. Are you all blind?"
There is a lot of resentment, but the military morale is available. Butler has become the biggest player on the Lakers after Bosh left, and he can be said to be an offensive and defensive presence. His improvement on the outside is a huge help to the team. So.
The Lakers have become a lot stronger this season.
At this moment, in the Rockets locker room, Mike D'Antoni also came up with a tactical plan:
Stop playing those complicated shots and play simple ones. There is really no way to defend us against the Lakers' No. 9. This is a fact and you don't have to admit it. However, we can also make them unable to defend us.
James, you should do something next, right? You said yourself that after breaking up with Kardashian, you feel that your strength has greatly increased.
Playing the new tactics we practiced in training camp before the game? Harden asked.
Of course, when dealing with the Lakers and the defending champions, we don’t have to hide it. D’Antoni said:
Use your ultimate move directly.
PS: It will break out tomorrow, let me give you a preview~ It will break out tomorrow~~~
Let's see how the Lakers get off to a roaring start this season~~~The first game is the Rockets with the lightbulb combination, which is a good stepping stone.
I also saw a book friend asking Xiao Zi if she had a holiday. Xiao Zi could only say not yet, we won’t have a break until the 1st. Let’s make it clear here to avoid misunderstanding. (To be continued)
