Chapter 1440 What is the king of the north? You cast a three-point duck~cast a duck~
The Lakers' recent schedule has been relatively easy, and this is another Eastern Conference team. Sorry, although the Raptors are a playoff team in the Eastern Conference, but, the Eastern Conference team is now on the Lakers' side, unless there is an outbreak.
, otherwise under normal circumstances, it would not be enough to watch at all. The suppression of strength is too obvious. Now that your No. 1 in the Eastern Conference comes to the West, it will be fifth, let alone the Raptors with 12 wins and 8 losses? Come to the Western Conference, and the seventh
First name.
Although they have won the last few games and have improved somewhat, the Lakers still look the same.
The two outside star players look good, but in fact they are not particularly strong. Even if DeRozan has an extremely accurate mid-range shot this season, he will not be too afraid. Because Butler can defend him enough. This game is fierce.
It is held at the home court of the Dragons, so the Raptors have to take advantage of the home court. The Raptors made a very special arrangement tonight. In order to gain the upper hand and eat into the Lakers' advantage, they have put in a lot of effort. What?
Situation? That is, first of all, don't let the Lakers' No. 1 pass the ball easily, and then if he wants an outside shot, let him do it.
It seems to be a target, but unfortunately, this Rondo is no longer the same as before. Although he is still not good at strong shots and top shots, if you let him go, you are overthinking. Since he went to the Mavericks
After that, although he had a difficult time in Dallas, you can't deny that after he was "gilded" with the Mavericks, his three-point shooting skills have been improved. Just look at the original time and space, and you will know that since then, his three-point shooting rate has been all the way up.
It has risen and is basically stable between 35% and 37%. The same is true now. Although Rondo's three-pointers are only about 3 times per game this season, his shooting rate is as high as 37%. If you let him
, he can really shoot in. When the Big Three of the Green Army saw this, they really cried like dogs. If you were at this level back then, why would we lose to the Lakers and Cavaliers? Those three-pointers were like ghosts in Boston back then.
, he was directly placed two meters away.
If we had the current basket, it would definitely be one of the Big Four, and maybe it would even be the third consecutive championship.
It's a pity that there is no if.
Rondo has also had a sense of crisis recently, because his substitute Beverley is really fierce. He has made comebacks on his behalf several times this season, which makes him hold his breath. Watch tonight
The Raptors actually let themselves go like this. Damn it, they just threw the ball without saying a word.
After brushing and hitting, a three-point ball hit the net. Then he looked at the opponent and shouted: "Let it go again."
The Raptors still followed the tactics and still let go of Rondo on the defensive end. As a result, Rondo made 4 of 5 three-pointers from the beginning and scored 12 points in a row. He was screaming at the Raptors.
The trash talk forced the people of Toronto to pause. There was nothing you could do. If you let go, they would really come in. What else could you do? You could only pause and adjust. Raptors head coach Dwayne Casey still insisted.
The strategy of blocking the inside line is to retreat to the second best in outside defense. There is no other way. The Raptors' inside line is too fragile, with a first-year Pascal Siakam and a Jonas Valanciunas.
The former is still a first-year student and is very thin. He is currently 210+ pounds, which is still a little far from the 230 pounds in the future. Moreover, this person will join the nbdl strongly this year and help the Raptors 905 team win this year's Development League championship.
Champion, he was also elected as the MVP player in this season's finals. So... he is not worth mentioning now. He is just a soy sauce player averaging 4+3 per game. I guess his confidence still needs to go to nbdl and sweep fmvp this year.
, you can get a huge improvement.
Now he is, in one word, dish.
These two words are very bad.
It's a level that even head coaches look down upon.
The remaining Valanciunas is still a decent player, and his defense is also a typical European inside line. He is very disadvantaged against Tang Qian's violent physical movement. In addition, he only weighs 265 pounds, and he is not very fast.
, if he faced No. 29 of the Lakers tonight, he would probably be beaten. Now, Dwayne Casey also really wants a human shield to defend the inside, otherwise, he will not be able to defend the opponent.
Yes, it can only be blocked by a sea of people tactics. If you want to use more people to bully fewer people, then there will inevitably be problems on the outside. Dwayne Casey also thought of a defensive strategy before, focusing on encircling the inside and using Nuo on the outside.
Man. Powell went to defend Butler. Although Powell is only 193cm, his body is extremely strong, reaching 215 pounds. For his height, this weight is very good, and he is definitely at the level of a heavy defender. The most important thing is,
Don't look at his height, but he has long hands. He is 193cm tall but has a wingspan of 211cm, which is nearly 20cm above his height. This talent attribute also allows him to guard players much taller than him on the defensive end.
This really makes Butler, a short-handed monster, feel "humiliated".
What Butler hates the most is the "long-hand monster", because he himself...well, I won't say it, everyone knows it, so tonight he was also very successful. He shot Powell angrily, coupled with the forced breakthrough kill, the first
Only 5 minutes into the quarter, this guy committed three fouls. After seeing Powell go down, Butler complained bitterly: "It makes you have long hands~ It's not useless~ Cut~ scum~"
Well, it's really a short-handed monster's spiritual resentment towards a long-handed monster.
As soon as Powell went down, Dwayne Casey's pre-game defensive plan once again collapsed. Terrence Ross, who came on the bench, was too thin and could not suppress the strong Butler. However, the Raptors still have a few characters.
For example, "King of the North" DeRozan uses a small screen to come out and shoot after catching the ball. Swipe~hit the mid-range shot~
Sure enough, the style of play is very classic. The Lakers have implemented a misplaced defense, allowing the strong Butler to defend DeRozan. The purpose is to push him out of the mid-range area as much as possible and let him shoot three-pointers.
.If the "King of the North" wants to shoot a three-pointer, we just let him shoot it casually, and no one can defend it. Whoever defends will be aggressive.
DeRozan's mid-range shooting rate this season is close to 50%, which is ridiculously accurate, but his three-point shooting is quite pitiful. It's only just over 20%. Such a shooting rate is indeed enough for him. Anyway,
He couldn't score a few points. After DeRozan was entangled by Butler, he didn't have so many opportunities. He himself is not the kind of person with an explosive desire to attack. When he sees that the opportunities are not good, he gradually stops taking the initiative to ask for the ball.
Instead, he pulled away and helped his teammates cover.
It seems very selfless, but there is a problem. Now the Raptors need players like you to play in isolation. If you don’t want the ball, what will you do? Who will you give it to? Others are not as good as you in this regard.
Do you really think the Lakers' iron barrel formation is so easy to break? We are not the Warriors??? We have Tsunami Brothers and Four Star Shine? This is indeed a wrong move. The Raptors instantly entered an offensive drought.
Dwayne Casey is a good head coach, and he is very good at the operation of the tactical system. Otherwise, the original team would not be able to lead the team to the top level in the Eastern Conference. However, his problems are also obvious.
He relies too much on tactics and team systems. Once the tactics and systems are suppressed, it will be difficult to recover. This is also the biggest reason why the Raptors he led have been pseudo-strong teams every time in the playoffs. Ji.
The post-game will be more about adaptability and improvisation, and the star's independent ability will be infinitely magnified. This is exactly Dwayne Casey's current weakness.
That's why we had the tragedy of leading the team to first place in the Eastern Conference, but being fired that same season.
In this situation, he is the second person in history, and he is the same as Mike Brown of the Cavaliers.
DeRozan didn't take the initiative to break the game. He wanted to rely on the team's system to operate, but he was stuck by the Lakers, giving them no chance or space to make any tactical plays. In addition, the Raptors' starting outside firepower was limited.
, there are not many people who can shoot three-pointers, and there will be even fewer without DeRozan. Therefore, the Lakers' tactics tonight are very clear. Focus on their players who can shoot three-pointers, and let the rest go.
Outside shots, leave them alone.
This is too disrespectful, or it just looks down on you. If you don’t like it, just keep voting.
Well, I shot, but I missed, and the rebound was protected by the Lakers.
On the Lakers side, Butler just missed a three-pointer? It doesn't matter if he missed it. The rebound was taken by No. 29 and was given to Butler who came in. He cut directly in the middle and pulled it out for a one-handed dunk. This ball
It's so easy. The Raptors' defense is generally one aspect, and there is another condition, that is, after passing the ball on No. 29, he helped Butler set a screen to block people. This gave Butler enough space to take off and attack, completing this.
Remember the one-handed slam dunk.
The Raptors are playing very tangledly. The Lakers have made it clear that they want to target their own lineup. DeRozan is almost blinded by the ball. The Lakers just can't get over. They stand in the middle and focus on blocking him.
Breakthroughs and emergency stops. Three-pointers from the outside. He stood there, directly in front of him was the "three-meter no man's land".
Whether to invest or not, whether to invest or not, whether I should invest or not, I am so easy.
Hey, don’t be ridiculous. Once the 4-star Warriors in the original space and time lost Green’s three-pointers, the Rockets would use unlimited switching defenses to attack them. What about the Raptors? A team’s starting lineup didn’t even have three-pointers at three points.
He has the ability to score points and chop vegetables, but he still wants to compete with the Lakers? Let’s see how bad your starting lineup is with this move.
The embarrassing scene of the original Space-Time Warriors appeared in advance. There was no one in front of DeRozan, but after he got the ball, he seemed to be frozen and didn't know what to do. There is nothing to say about this ball.
Definitely. Should O'Neal still be grateful to Tang Qian and the Lakers?
So seeing the time passing by, DeRozan could only grit his teeth and shoot a three-pointer.
Then, in the eyes of the Raptors, who were looking forward to it, the ball hit the ground, bang~, the Lakers got the ball, Rondo passed the ball inside, and Don dived in and made a dunk. Jonas Valanciunas couldn't even follow up.
Come on. Oh, do you want to listen to your girlfriend and go back to work as an official if you can't survive in the NBA? That's... too unmanly, isn't it?
On the offensive end, he wanted to get one, but what he got was a big hat. Then on the offensive end, No. 29 and Rondo burst in, cooperated tacitly, and broke into the alley-oop. BANG~ The Raptors' pre-game targeting and strategies were all in vain.
Yes, the embarrassed Dwayne Casey wrote so many things on the whiteboard in the Raptors locker room.
In front of the Lakers, it was all a joke, and they were left half-dead without any effort.
