Chapter 1399 Refuse to open the door and kill the black tyrant!
New tactic? Ultimate move? What is it? The answer is...
Infinite misplaced singles.
Yes, this move is also a big factor in the rapid rise of the original space-time Rockets. D'Antoni uses 2 to 3 shooters to open up space for Paul or Harden, and then breaks the game alone. They were the original time and space in those seasons.
Which team has the most mismatched singles? To what extent exactly? So much so that the second place player can’t even see their taillights.
This is a brand-new singles mode, at least it has never been so comprehensive and routine.
At the beginning of the second half, the Rockets began to compete with the Lakers continuously, alternating with each other. Regarding this, even Tang Qian felt a little surprised, because it was obviously full of so many singles proportions, but they could still compete with the Lakers.
Can't stand a stalemate? This seems a bit unscientific. After all, it is a tactical model that has never been popularized before. It is normal that the Lakers did not react for a while. They all feel that singles can only be played in hand-to-hand combat and fierce playoff battles.
will highlight the importance. And many times, even hand-to-hand battles and playoffs can only last for a short period of time. For example, the triangle offense will only rely on singles for a period of time in the last quarter. Therefore, the Lakers have a bit of inertial thinking.
They think that by doing this they are "suicide" and they won't be able to hold on for long.
Both Tang Qian and Larry Brown thought so, but... until the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides was still only 2 points apart. At this time, no matter how you looked at it, you felt that something was wrong. Larry.
Brown looked at the former Lakers coach on the Rockets side, pondered for a moment, then began to face it seriously and analyze it carefully.
Judging from what they mean, they should insist on fighting like this in the future. If so, they are either confused or... full of confidence. I don't like the latter, but it is very possible. I feel that we all have a little
The Rockets' singles players are underestimated. Both Paul and Harden are good singles players, especially Harden, who has made rapid progress this season and is really a bit of a super scorer. And a super scorer is difficult to stop by one person.
Even if you have to try to defend alone, you need at least one defense to create some trouble, but it will only be some "trouble".
If you want to really have a significant effect, you should at least have a strong person who has primary defense or dpoy all year round.
Otherwise, let’s skip the discussion and hope that the opponent feels bad tonight.
Perennial primary defense represents rich experience, and dpoy represents hard ability, but there are too few such people. So once singles can solve the problem, it is very difficult to defend. Harden is also really fierce enough, with a lot of
With his combination of hitting the porcelain + rhythm breakthrough + three-pointers, Butler couldn't stop him. It's really not that Butler's defense is not good, but he has practiced "eighteen years of falling". You can't touch him easily, he breaks through
, you have to learn to... hide.
If you don’t hide, well, please go to the free throw line and enjoy my wonderful performance.
This is what is called creating psychological deterrence for you before attacking.
For example, Jordan and Kobe are like this. Before they even move, their momentum has already dwarfed their opponents by half.
The same goes for Harden, but more because everyone is too concerned about his "rules basketball" and are afraid that he will foul easily and leave the game. Butler is still too honest, so he was fouled several times very quickly.
I was so angry that I wanted to curse, but judging from the slow-motion replay of the scene, most of them were really fouls.
Within the rules, there are certain balls that Harden will find your hand to pass.
And now you think that this is the ultimate power of the "King of Porcelain"? The future Harden will give you a big slap and tell you in a loud voice. You are thinking too much. Where is this?
Oh, my future brother is the "god of porcelain".
But looking at it right now, it's true that no matter how hard you defend, you can't stop Harden, and you have to pay the price anyway.
As soon as you are timid and slow on defense, it's embarrassing and he will pass, or he will just make a three-pointer.
With Paul on the side to help him attract firepower, Harden is on the verge of becoming a super scorer this season.
Tang Qian also doesn't like this bearded man, and thinks he is too "dirty" in playing and "teaches bad things to children." However, there is one thing you need to admit, that is, Harden's scoring ability is under the existing rules.
Very strong.
Very scary.
This matter is not conflicting, and you cannot deny his ability just because you don't like him.
As for the failure in the playoffs, that is the standard and matter of the playoffs. Now it is the regular season, let’s just talk about the firepower of the regular season.
Harden's growth is still very obvious, and he is especially good at upgrading his playing style according to the league rules. This is also a disguised "progress". As for popularity? He also knows that he is not high, but it doesn't matter, he can be stable.
Just stay in the league and make a lot of money. Harden is also true about this.
After all, a nightclub is not a place where consumption is very low, right?
And what's very shameless is that when the Lakers' defense is strong, they use pick-and-roll substitutions. If it doesn't work once, they make a second substitution. The Rockets are also trained well by D'Antoni, so the pick-and-roll is very solid and I don't complain.
In this way, you will often see Harden trying to beat Rondo. Although Rondo is very good at defense, he is far behind Harden in terms of tonnage. Harden is a stable and heavy defender, and his upper body strength is excessive.
People, whenever Rondo exerts his strength, he will be unable to resist it.
Are they all good at defense? Then you have to choose someone who is relatively easy to play.
For example, Harden hitting Rondo hard is a typical example.
What about Paul? He specializes in making misplaced pick-and-roll balls that are small and large. This is also something Paul is very good at.
So, the Rockets really played well.
Has been suppressing the Lakers' defense.
Larry Brown wanted the Lakers to double-team or even shrink, but he fell into the Rockets and D'Antoni's plan. What should I say? As soon as D'Antoni saw the Lakers doing this, he immediately smiled slightly off the court.
Said: "Very good, that's it. I know that your Lakers team has a strong defensive system and a good defensive understanding, so... it just serves as a touchstone for our new system."
"Don't think you are the only one who is stronger. This season's Rockets are definitely not just a sidekick or a foil."
"What we want is to bring down the emperor."
What does D'Antoni mean? Is he too crazy? No, this is indeed the result of his careful optimization of the Rockets lineup. Moreover, the Rockets' pre-game training camp started very early this year in order to perfect this new system.
.
Run and gun? Small ball? Come on, the entire league has entered a fast era, so this is not an innovation.
One of the results of D'Antoni's optimization is... the team implemented the "dual commanders" strategy for the first time.
What is "dual commanders"? It means that the Rockets team is allowed to have two system controllers. How is this possible? How to do it? Paul is okay. He is originally a point guard master. Who is the other person?
?
Everyone knows that if the German coach's system is to be promoted, it needs strong players at the No. 1 position.
He is... James Harden.
Harden? He, isn't he a point guard? How is that possible? Point guard can also play the role of system controller? The answer is... yes. To be honest, if this matter does not come from the future, it is impossible to know. And for those who have already
It is Tang Qian who lives in 2016. He has become a "present person" in this time and space and is no longer a "future person". Therefore, it is not surprising at all that he does not know this matter.
This change was so successful that no one expected it. Who dared to say that he was not shocked at that time?
James Harden, who was a serious point guard before, suddenly turned into a strong point guard or combo guard, and he was extremely successful. This really has to admire the magic of the German coach. This is also the story of Harden's life.
A huge leap. From then on, he has completely embarked on the road of "taking over everything". What data did he get in the original time and space? Data exceeding 29+8+11+1, how terrible is it?
Maybe Harden himself also has this potential, but he hit it off right away, so as soon as he saw the Lakers adopt a defensive strategy of assisting defense and double-teaming, the Rockets immediately took the ball on the 13th, and took a three-point shot from the outside. This...
If it's a coincidence once, then it's not a coincidence at all if it happens several times in a row.
Even when Harden was in good shape several times, even if the Lakers adopted a small amount of semi-double-teaming and semi-encirclement, they still paid a heavy price. This was not 10 years ago. At that time, he was good at three-pointers.
There are not many people, so the space operation is relatively much smaller. What now? There is no problem for a team to accumulate a bunch of three-point shooters, and that is the case with the Rockets. Even the German coach directly let the Rockets' three-pointers take the shot and seize the way.
hurricane.
The Warriors? How many three-pointers did the Warriors average per game before this? That is, they averaged 31+ per game. In the 14-15 season, they only averaged 27+ per game. This season, they only averaged 31+ per game so far.
What now? What about the Rockets? They have already conceded more than 30 three-pointers, and there is still such a long time in the game. In the original time and space, they will concede an average of 40+ three-pointers per game this season!
The tone surpassed last season by a dozen or so, and even left the Warriors far behind.
The "Ultimate Magic Ball" was promoted and developed.
Significantly reduce the number of long 2-pointers, or even stop shooting 2-pointers. Those who can shoot 2-pointers should switch to 3-pointers.
This is a typical "Money Ball Theory". Note that this is not the famous book "Money Ball Theory" by Michael Lewis. The so-called "Money Ball Theory" here is the result of countless big data analyzes by Rockets General Manager Morey.
. He believes that instead of shooting 2-pointers, it is better to shoot all 3-pointers, which can maximize the efficiency ratio between scoring shots.
This season, D'Antoni took a fancy to this theory and promoted it vigorously. Unexpectedly, it caused a lot of trouble for the Lakers in the first game. Regardless of whether it was because the Lakers had never dealt with such an attack method, so they were a little panicked.
, anyway, it is quite impressive to score such a high score on the head of a team that swept all the way to the playoffs last year and won the championship.
Just these three points...are you losing too much? Are you crazy? Don’t you want to win?
As a result, when I looked at the score board, I realized that the Rockets unexpectedly overtook the score difference.
The Houstonians actually fought the Lakers to an inseparable situation in the first game, which was really unexpected. Everyone originally thought that only the Universe Yong could defeat this invincible Purple and Gold Army in the playoffs.
.Who would have known that the Rockets caused big trouble for the Lakers in the first game? Because they have never dealt with this style of play and mode, and Harden has undergone a huge transformation in the team's positioning. Various factors combined.
, making the Lakers' defense a bit confusing tonight.
But...you want to win? I won't agree!!!
I also knew that the team's defense could not adjust at this moment, so I simply started to compete with the opponent for superstar balls, using one of the most traditional NBA methods to decide the outcome. We were caught off guard by you tonight, and we were caught by surprise, but...
...You think you can defeat us like this? Are you going to open the door to us?
Beautiful thought!!!
Because for us, your inside line and the basket are both in a mess.
Then it depends on who can last until the end. As for the Lakers' adjustments in subsequent games, we will wait until they win this game.
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"The score between the two sides is very tight. This game was unexpectedly good~"
espn broadcast room.
"The Rockets are very strong. This season, they are likely to be a dark horse."
"It all depends on whether their performance tonight is a flash of inspiration or whether they can become routine. If it is the former, it doesn't matter. If it is the latter, it is estimated that the entire league will start a bloody storm again."
"D'Antoni is very good at doing this kind of thing, isn't he? The previous run-and-gun storm, the small ball era, started from him. This time it's him again, and I don't think there's anything strange about it."
Larry Brown is also carefully observing the Rockets' playing style in this game. He is silently calculating something and recording something on the shorthand board from time to time. However, this will not have an immediate effect tonight.
.They need to survive this game.
In this case, Superstar Ball is the best choice.
The Lakers dispersed in a wave of top arc, and then Rondo desperately fed the ball to the inside. Otherwise, he is a multiple-time assist king. The accuracy and speed of this pass are countless times better than the Chinese team's outside line.
Grade. After Tang Qian quickly got the ball, he immediately made an offensive move. He wanted to hit the Rockets' inside line, which was completely crushed. Capela was beaten into a "biscuit" tonight.
Became the "alternative cake king".
The Rockets are all "short insiders", which are completely inadequate and not good enough to deal with Tang Qian. He can kill one by one, sometimes a pair, and he can kill a pair. This Dongfang center is too cruel, who can stop him?
You have to hold him back. Harden was secretly stunned when he saw this, but since he is on the outside, he has less direct confrontation, so he is not too afraid or affected.
After all, tonight, he himself found a new breakthrough point, okay?
That is... to take over everything and make Harden the point guard.
With both of them unable to defend themselves, it all depends on who can't hold back first and whose superstar can't breathe first. Tang Qian fights Harden and Paul alone. As long as both sides don't double-team, it's a singles game.
No one is convinced!
Because it is not the playoffs, there is no need to be so serious. Harden hopes to defeat this Oriental man with his own strength.
Harden caught the ball on the left wing and passed it to Gordon, who was crossing the arc. Then he immediately asked Gordon to pass it back, separated the defender and started to play singles again. The Lakers now don't dare to double-team because
It's the last moment, and we can't afford to lose three-pointers. Besides, the Rockets were so decisive in their three-pointers tonight. Although their shooting percentage is relatively mediocre, you can't resist them shooting so many shots. What if this happens again?
One, the Lakers are done.
So just don't double-team Harden and let Harden play alone.
Harden broke through and caused a foul. He went to the free throw line and made 2 of 2 free throws.
Tang Qian ran a high pick-and-roll, followed the ball and hit the ball, 2+1, and hit an extra penalty at the same time.
Harden of the Rockets still came up with it himself, hit it again, and hit the ball. The defensive players seemed to have a little psychological shadow, and they were a little afraid to defend the ball. This is the added value of Harden's "touching skills", making the opponent invisible to him.
There was a huge "sense of panic" for a while. I was afraid that if I did something wrong, I would be given a defensive foul by the Rockets' No. 13.
The shadow of a famous tree, the current Harden, really gives people this kind of extra allusion.
The Rockets are still Harden, dribbling the ball behind the top arc, handing the ball to Paul who is lifting up, and then cutting in from the air. At the same time, the Rockets give Harden a support screen near the free throw line. This is also the German
What Anthony brought to the Rockets, Houston in the past did not have these meticulous tricks. Then Harden took advantage of the situation and cut to the right. Unfortunately, the Lakers made substitutions quickly, so they made up for it all at once.
But the Rockets didn't give up on Harden yet. Harden continued to walk around the baseline and finally found a chance to get the basketball.
As soon as he got the basketball, he directly bumped into the defender chasing behind him.
Seeing the slightly frightened expression on Ariza's face, Harden knew that he had succeeded. Beep, whistle, extra penalty, and at the same time, he threw the ball straight in.
It's also a 2+1! Harden's upper body strength is really nothing to say, and James is not much bigger than him.
In the rookie physical test, the bench press can reach 17 times directly! An absolute monster!!!
This is why he can commit fouls without any scruples, because his upper body strength is too strong and he can withstand confrontation.
The Lakers still used Tang Qian to attack again, grabbed the offensive rebound, and tipped the ball directly into the net.
The Rockets' insiders also dealt with him, and there was no good solution they could think of.
The score reached the last minute. Harden was a little careless with this breakthrough. After misplaced pick and roll, he originally wanted to rely on his strength and tonnage to continue to bully Rondo, but at this time Rondo just retreated and actually got out of the way.
. Turn sideways and let Harden break through directly. No, it doesn't count all the way. Halfway through, he suddenly made a move, but this time the hand was very clear. In addition, it was still from the back side, and Harden didn't find a particularly good one.
Chances are good.
This ball could only be forced to be thrown once, because the Lakers did not choose to double-team or help defend, so he did not have many choices. The singles started and the singles ended. This ball was finally caught by the Lakers' No. 29.
, suddenly moved sideways, took a big step, raised one hand, made a strong blow, and flew out.
After the Rockets restarted the frontcourt, there was only 2.7 seconds left. Harden missed the shot and the Rockets were still 1 point ahead. The Lakers attacked and Rondo slowly dribbled the ball across half court. This was stalling for time and he was ready to play.
The last attack leaves as little free time as possible for the Rockets. This is also a very standard professional basketball play.
Looking at the time, Rondo took a high pick-and-roll, and then only traveled about 1/5 of the way. Before he could reach the free throw line, he hit the basketball in his hand to the ground, and then passed it to Tang Qian, who was cutting through the air.
.On this ball, Ryan Anderson originally wanted to delay the Lakers No. 29, but as soon as he made contact, he realized that he was not enough to delay him.
This guy, like a locomotive, whizzed past. During the air-cutting process, he directly knocked away Ryan Anderson's delay. Then after getting the ball, everyone on the Rockets jumped at him as soon as he saw it.
Coming over, what should Tang Qian do? Attack? The view in front is basically blocked. Pass the ball? It's hard to say whether the outside can withstand such high pressure. Shooting the buzzer-beating ball is not fun for ordinary players.
Sometimes, according to big data statistics, there will be an obvious decline in the open shot rate.
In addition, Tang Qian is an old-school player, so... I decided to do it myself!
How to do it by yourself? There is no way ahead. So many people from the Rockets are rushing over. It is almost impossible to dribble past them. It is difficult for an outside player to do it. To break through, you have to bypass people.
Too much.
But now the 24 seconds of attack time are running out, what should we do?
Tang Qian's mind suddenly flashed with an elegant figure of the Magic's No. 1, and then he decisively pressed the release button. At this moment, after seeing the ball released, everyone was lamenting, especially the Celestial Dynasty.
The sports station was filled with "sad cries":
Oops, my hand slipped on this ball. It was a fatal mistake.
It’s actually Tang Qian, I really don’t dare to...
His words actually expressed the thoughts of many people. Unfortunately, Tang Qian still had follow-up actions. After his "blind moves" deceived everyone's attention, he suddenly exerted his strength again and suddenly
He squeezed through the gap in the crowd with brute force, and then flew over the Rockets player's incredible face, jumped up, caught the ball that bounced off the backboard, and violently dunked it into the net with both hands.
The ball~went in!!!!!!!!!
There is less than 3 seconds left for the Rockets.
There were a lot of shouts at the Staples Center, and Bill McDonald even shouted excitedly:
Tyrant Tang succeeded with a self-throw and dunk! Tyrant Tang killed the game! Tyrant Tang killed the game!!!
…
Although the Rockets shot a long-distance three-pointer after the timeout, due to the Lakers' defensive interference, there was no "miracle" on the shot. The Houston Rockets lost to the Lakers by 110-111, 1 point in the full game.
.
The Lakers' first game of the 2016-17 season on the 29th turned out to be a game-winner.
He used his strong performance to perfectly lead the team to defeat the opponent and preserve the Lakers' good start.
But this game still made many people in the Lakers feel the pressure silently, because this style of play is very difficult to defend. This is not an ordinary D'Antoni run and gun small ball system. This is a brand new D'Antoni system.
.Dual commanders, double brains + misplaced singles + breaking double teams and scoring three-pointers.
This style of play incorporates a lot of things and has a lot of innovations. Larry Brown needs to digest it carefully and then come up with a way to deal with this new Rockets system. The Rockets tonight, the first game of the new season, this is a wake-up call.
Played very well.
I almost became a guest.
However, this also made the Lakers' previously a little anxious and slightly arrogant mentality calm down a lot.
This alliance really never lacks capable people.
The Lakers won their first game and are currently losing 1-0.
