Chapter 1405 Warcraft provokes sharks ~ ask for support~
But it's useless to be green. Howard's offense is the "three-point ax". When he was young, it was indeed based on his "superhuman" physical fitness. He felt unstoppable. The "three-point ax" can also average 22+ per game.
However, he has never had any technical upgrades or changes, and has always rested on his laurels. As his body has weakened, his firepower has naturally declined.
When you play against other teams, you can also say that they are double-teaming you, making you unable to perform well. You find an excuse to muddle through. When you play against the Lakers, they are on single defense the whole time. What else can you say? You just can't get in.
What?
The Lakers' No. 29 is also strong offensively and defensively. Now that Howard is confronting him, among other things, he feels a bit...fatigue in the second quarter. How long have we been playing for? I'm tired.
?
How is that possible? I am a "Superman" who didn't even know what fatigue was before.
This is actually not bad. As he gets older, his physical fitness will not be as good as before, which is normal. In addition, he is not the kind of person who pays special attention to his off-field and private life. If he does it randomly, his energy will definitely be greatly reduced. The more critical point is
However, Tang Qian gradually discovered that the Atlanta Hawks' No. 8 seemed to no longer have the ability to build his own defensive system.
Even though Howard's blocking data was not particularly outstanding in the past, his defensive system was absolutely strong.
With four players whose basic defenses are all average, and some even have defensive holes, he can actually defeat James in the Eastern Conference and reach the top all the way? This ability is really extraordinary. How old was he at that time? Absolutely
It's the so-called "one god with four legs". It was said that he could replace James alone, but it was not a lie.
As for the construction of the defensive system, during his time, it was definitely at the peak level in history.
Until the Rockets, although they were declining, they were still there. The Hawks asked him to come over. Do you think it was because of Howard's offensive ability? Isn't that nonsense? The reason was to let him build a perfect defensive system and then be able to play in the playoffs.
Against all the strong teams in the Eastern Conference. The Eagles also suffered from not having a defensive system and defensive barrier in the playoffs in previous years. The regular season was okay, but once they got to the playoffs, their true colors were immediately revealed and they were criticized by outside fans and
Experts jokingly call it the "pseudo strong team".
Of course, this statement sounds unpleasant, so the head coach and management of the Atlanta Hawks are also thinking about making some changes to change the situation of this "pseudo-powerful team". And the fastest one has the best effect.
The way to improve is to build a defensive system. This is a real good medicine for the fierce playoffs. But it is easier said than done, because how to put it, a good defensive system involves too many things
, the coaching ability of the head coach is also a big factor. Although Mike Budenholzer has also won the honor of the best coach, he has built a strong defensive system. To be honest, he does not feel that he is very successful. Anyway, he has built a strong defensive system.
So far, he has not been particularly successful in the NBA. Although he is from the Popovich faction, he has not done a good enough job in terms of defensive construction.
So since the head coach can't easily build it, then just go the way of the players. A strong player who can support the defensive system or even a player with his own defensive system is a shortcut. But such a person
, it must be an inside line. No matter how strong the outside line is, it cannot be built around a defensive system. Needless to say, there is no precedent for this at present. And such inside lines are not a big deal. There are only a handful of them at one stage.
.
If you think about it carefully, in this year's free market, only "Warcraft" meets the standards.
Thinking of this, he acted immediately. After acquiring Howard, Eagles head coach Mike Budenholzer was ready to go big. However, the reality seemed to be a little different from his vision.
Because the current Dwight Howard has basically lost that energy.
Although the data looks okay, it only stays in the data. The real most valuable asset has been lost. This also makes the Eagles defeat their own wishful thinking. A team that does not have its own defensive system
, how much value is left for Dwight Howard who cannot build a defensive system around him? Can it be half as much?
As far as his enthusiasm for pick-and-roll screening is concerned, basically don’t expect much on the offensive end except for rebounding and singles. Even a super point guard like Nash doesn’t want to cooperate with the pick-and-roll. How can the others match it? Can he still be able to shake it?”
The heart of "Warcraft"?
He has long had no worries about pick-and-rolls and screens.
No matter who tries to persuade him, he always says: I won’t listen, I won’t listen, I won’t listen.
It's just so tough.
So now, the head coach of the Eagles is also a little depressed, but he still has illusions about Howard. After all, these are only the first few games, and there is still room for improvement. Besides, Howard also performed well in the previous few games, and his statistics are good.
Well, until he met Tang Qian, Howard was about to "leak out" immediately.
The efficiency of low-post singles was exposed again, and the beautiful illusions in the past disappeared immediately. The facts proved that it was not that Howard had really recovered or improved much, but that the team in front was too fragile inside. That's all. Howard's performance is so impressive
The anxious low-post play made the fans at the scene unable to stand it, and someone shouted loudly: "Hook! Hook! Don't just hit it like that! Your strength and tonnage are not as good as Dongfang Tang!"
Maybe Howard heard it, so in the next round, he used Tang Qian to go out to cover up the defense and got an offensive rebound. At this time, as soon as he hit, he found that he was pushed by Randall in front, and then successfully delayed the block, and immediately
, change! Do you see, this is the system, this is the technology! The operation technology of the entire team! The Lakers have done so many details this season that they can be called a textbook level. Larry Brown is known as the "Detail Madman"
The head coach also began to express his approval of the team.
If you want to get his approval, you have to be at the level of a historically strong defensive team. Anything less will not work. Otherwise, people will just say a little bit, "It's okay." Then there will be nothing more.
Seeing Tang Qian in front of him again, Howard was also angry. He was bullied badly tonight, and you still come? Don't you know how to give in a little bit, or play "league brother basketball" a little bit? See Howard's expression
, Tang Qian seemed to have guessed what he was thinking: "If you want to fight, then fight. I will never let him go."
"You are not qualified."
"No one has the qualifications to make me let go."
Howard was angry. He really thought that Tang Qian was provoking and looking down on him, but that was not the case. Tang Qian was just telling him what a real basketball player should do. Letting go of the opponent? That is what professional players should do.
?
That is the greatest humiliation.
It's a pity that Howard didn't understand. After he used a lame low post to squeeze several times to no avail, he could only remember the suggestion of the fan in the front row and hook up. But, he kind of ignored the hook inside.
You need to fight before taking action. If you can't resist, then the same is true... you will get hit!!!
Bang~ Tang Qian slapped Howard away with his volleyball hat~
This ball seemed to make the rest of the Hawks players a little bit dissatisfied with Howard, because just now, someone clearly ran out of an open space. Unfortunately, in Howard's eyes, there is only the basket at the moment, only the Lakers No. 29.
After getting the ball, Kent Bazemore of the Atlanta Hawks took the opportunity to break in and rush to the basket.
He thought this ball was an opportunity, but Tang Qian didn't give him a chance at all. The giant spirit palm rejected it with a single palm.
Even with one palm, it flew away.
Howard picked up the ball, and when he came back again, he turned left and right lamely, and then hit a zombie hook.
It's really stuck in the frame and has no aesthetic appeal.
"Get me...down!!!"
Bang~ Another big block~ The basketball flew straight out of the sideline. There were 3 seconds left for the Atlanta Hawks. After the baseline ball was served, the Hawks played a tactical ball, circled the inside line, quickly made a wall, and then let
The wing player went in and took a shot. The ball was relatively successful from the front, but Dennis Schroeder missed it from the back, and it was still... doomed.
A ball directly hit five rows of spectators.
And when the 24 seconds of attack time are up, the Lakers have the ball.
Seeing this, the Eagles' on-site commentator went crazy. He explained with some horror:
The Lakers' basket is like being guarded by Goliath and Godzilla. If ordinary people go there, they will never come back.
There is no return.
On the offensive end, Tang Qian got an offensive rebound, then turned around and pulled up for a violent dunk. This was Howard's cleverness. The "Warcraft" chose to move away directly, so he just avoided being dunked by Lakers No. 29.
Destiny. But in the eyes of others, this scene looks different. It turns into a sign of timidity and fear of getting into trouble.
When James angrily dunked on Vucevic, it was because the latter avoided it, and it turned into a huge mockery.
Being looked down upon is worse than being detained.
In the words of the famous ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith: Ability is ability, courage is courage. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have ability, but if the courage is gone, it’s just a joke on the basketball court. Why is Demon King Zhou being sprayed? He is known as "Zhou Hide"
"Hide"? Isn't it the same? The classic avoidance in the Olympic Games made everyone's senses about him suddenly hit rock bottom.
Especially insiders, if you do this, you will damage your dignity.
Even some famous "Tang Chu", such as Kate Malin of t.n.t, started writing articles in advance, with the title:
Tangyrant!
It means, my God Tyrant Tang is so awesome! Or God Lord Tyrant Tang!
Anyway, this is such a boast that Tang Qian will feel a little embarrassed when he reads the headlines tomorrow.
Abby Hornacek of Fox Sports also wrote:
Man snap! Boy back off! No joy here!
Obviously he was bragging about Tang Qian and satirizing Howard, the happy beast.
Although Atlanta Hawks head coach Mike Budenholzer later arranged a strategy of strengthening the low pick-and-roll on the offensive end and helping to defend No. 29 on the defensive end. However, because Howard was unwilling to pick-and-roll and cover at all, he was lazy, and the defensive end of No. 29
It was as if the number had been suddenly strengthened and upgraded tonight. It was invincible, hitting two people and hooking three people.
Therefore, even the slightest bit of futility cannot be produced.
Fortunately, fortunately, the Eagles were defeated quickly and were completely destroyed in the paint. Otherwise, Tang Qian would have had some incredible statistics tonight. Even so, he scored 50 points, 30 rebounds and 11 rebounds in 29 minutes.
One block and one assist also made people feel a strong sense of suffocation. Now many people are calling out that Tang Qian's dominance at the basket has surpassed O'Neal.
Well, peak O'Neal.
Regardless of whether it is an exaggeration or not, there must be a reason for saying this.
This efficiency is 50 points in less than 30 minutes, and it is a big triple-double. Who is not dizzy after seeing this?
Although O'Neal quickly said that the eras are different and cannot be compared. There are too many rounds in the game now, and the data should be devalued. But there is one thing that cannot be devalued, that is, the championship. He has 4 rings, so he still has to wait for the Lakers
Let’s talk about it after we get the number on the 29th. Otherwise there will be no comparison at all.
I knew it must have been suppressed by the ring theory, because the data could no longer be suppressed.
Of course, tonight's performance is due to the presence of Howard and the "Warcraft bonus", so if you want to blame it, it is the Eagles themselves who are unlucky.
It's like taking over the blame for the Rockets.
Although many people expressed regret that it would have been better if the Eagles had resisted more, but look at the goals that scored super high scores in 30 minutes. How many of them didn't lose the game in three quarters? Because of this
A single person's explosion cannot be stopped at all, so unless there is someone on your own side who explodes, or the team jointly suppresses it, otherwise, it will basically be defeated within 3 quarters.
Otherwise, how can I get 50+ points in a short time?
This fifty-point game also made Tang's ranking on the potential scoring list soar from tenth to seventh in one breath.
The momentum is quite fierce.
The Lakers defeated their opponents by 29 points in the entire game. Although Howard scored 15 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks, if you take a closer look at his data in the first three quarters, he only had 2 points, 1 rebound and 2 blocks.
In other words, during the period when he and Tang Qian faced off, they were basically "transparent people" with no sense of existence.
When Tang Qian was interviewed after the game, he was in a good mood and pretended to be crazy:
There was no way, the opponent fell down before I even exerted my strength. I feel sorry for tonight's data, it should have been more.
This is a good enough boast, but who can come out and say otherwise? Tonight’s number 29 is unsolvable.
O'Neal also watched the post-event video of the game at home. After a long time, his son came over to ask for money to go out to pick up girls. He found that his father had a dark complexion for some reason. He was so domineering.
The arrogant momentum has now disappeared without a trace.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? You saw a stroke while watching TV?" Sharif asked.
What? Damn it~ What are you talking about! You are still not my son! You curse your father like this? Bastard!!!
At this time, Sharif's eyes also shifted to the TV that was playing, and said: "Isn't this hot? I really like him, he is my idol. Dad, why don't you get his autograph for me?
Is it a star card?”
"What? You make him your idol? Are you crazy? Your dad is not better than him???" O'Neal said angrily.
Forget it if it's an outsider. Since it's his father, Sharif is not afraid. He directly said without giving any face: "When did you do this? Dad, I didn't watch you when you were playing awesome.
Where’s the ball? Nowadays, many people in school are obsessed with the Lakers’ tyrant. Is it so difficult to just get a signed star card?”
"How is he better than me?" O'Neal said even more unhappy.
As a result, the son's answer once again struck a chord: "Just because his partner is Taylor, just because he spent the night with the Victoria's Secret Angels in the same room, and just because he can win the favor of the goddess in our school, isn't that enough?
?Dad, you are not welcomed by so many people, are you? If you were, why would I bother chasing Alice so hard? Right? You said you..."
"That's enough!!! Shut up!!! I'm going to... break your legs!!!"
"Where are you running? Stop! You little brat who doesn't care about your father! Stop right there!!!"
Tang Qian didn't know that because of Sharif, he was disliked even more by O'Neal.
Alas, what a disaster.
