Chapter 1442 Brother, don't compare yourself to this kind of person
But Tang Qian's violent beating of Tucker would not make the headlines in the sports section. The headline is still Westbrook, another 40+ triple-double. This season he seems to have started the "triple-double for free" model.
It's so fierce. It's already a quarter of the season, and he still maintains this triple-double average? It seems that after the season, even with a period of weakness, there will be an almost triple-double.
The average data per game is really good enough.
However, no one knew that what they wanted was not a near triple-double. It would only be after the All-Star Game that everyone would finally realize it.
It was also the time when celebrity "Big O" completely fainted from crying in the toilet.
Because Westbrook used less time and higher efficiency to average a triple-double per game, his myth was shattered.
There were also some things during this period. For example, James became the only player in history to rank in the top ten in total points and in the top 20 in total assists. This is a good indication of James' versatility and durability. As expected, none of the top ten players in history is a vegetarian.
In addition, there is also a post about Durant. According to joint statistics from ESPN and Sports Illustrated, Durant has been extremely efficient since joining the Warriors, with a shooting rate of 60%!
He is taller than James of the Heat! He is an outside player. Even if he only has 1/4 of the schedule, that is too exaggerated.
Ordinary fans are naturally confused by the data, but some famous players have stood up and said that this is just the inevitable result of "huddling together at the top to keep warm". It's not that Durant has really become stronger and evolved, it's just that his offensive pressure has suddenly decreased.
I don’t know how many reasons. In this situation, for an undifferentiated singles player of his level, improvement is the most terrifying. So it seems as if he has suddenly been sublimated to the extreme and is invincible.
Of course, Durant's super efficiency also proves that he can do what James can do, and he can do it better than James. This is where it starts.
In the beginning, you rarely saw James fans boasting about James' various finals efficiency, because he was not on the same level as Durant. Instead, they started to boast about other aspects, such as being at the forefront of the team in all-round statistics.
Anyway, Durant and the Warriors formed a four-star shining team this time, completely telling the world that for players of their level, as long as they don’t have to face the top to team up, there are not many who can’t play. If he takes shortcuts, his ability is also
No worse than anyone else.
James' unparalleled efficiency and statistics in the Heat were reflected by Durant, and suddenly his thoughts became a little dim and devalued.
After beating the Raptors, the Lakers played back-to-back games against the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies have gone downhill this season. They barely managed to maintain a 50% winning rate at the beginning of the season. This is okay in the East, but in the West, they are a bit into the playoffs.
The game is difficult. This season, they seem to have completely given up on their original defensive focus. The head coach has become David Fizdale, and they are playing differently. The most obvious thing is that the Grizzlies have begun to shoot three-pointers like crazy.
In the previous few seasons, they had averaged around 15+ three-pointers per game. This season, they suddenly jumped to an average of 26-27 per game. In other words, from the bottom of the league in three-pointers, they suddenly became the league's top three-pointers.
The number of three-point shots in the mid-level has almost doubled. Unfortunately, this approach has no miraculous effect, because the Grizzlies' own personnel configuration is not mainly three-pointers. That is to say, starting from this season, Gasol and the main goalkeeper
The coach was conflicted and decided he didn't want to waste any more time with the Grizzlies.
After playing against the Grizzlies, the Lakers discovered a problem. Sure enough, the Grizzlies this season were very bad and easy to play. In the past, when playing against the Grizzlies, even if they won, who wouldn't want to shed a layer of skin? What about now?
This is not the case at all. Because the Grizzlies began to design a lot of outside shots, it was much easier to defend. Because they did not have a top ball-handling single player, they opened up the space, that is. Can you believe this team
The strongest scoring point this season is... Mike Conley??? It's not that he is a bad player, but if he wants to be the team's first scoring point, it seems a bit insufficient.
He could barely score 20 points if he was stretched to death. No matter how much space you gave him, it would be of no use.
In a word, the ability is there, there is no need to underestimate it, and there is no need to expect too much.
It's enough for Rondo to defend him alone.
The scoring ability of the rest is just like that. Gasol's inside offensive ability is much inferior to that of Gasol, but his shooting range is farther and larger. Randle can just follow him. Gasol is also an inside post that can't kill anyone.
They couldn't even average 20 points per game against the odds. Coupled with the fact that Randolph, the original offensive point inside, was getting older and older, the Grizzlies began to decline as a whole.
Tang Qian intimidated the inside and didn't allow strangers to score. There was no need for many routine changes in this game. He just had to do normal offense and defense. On defense, it was almost a one-on-one defense. After the Grizzlies picked and rolled, the Lakers also directly substituted one-on-one players.
Defense basically does not involve flanking or joint pressure. This is because the entire Lakers team thinks it is not necessary. When playing against a "four different" team like the Grizzlies, there will be no trouble at all. Single points cannot break the defense and cannot penetrate inside.
The team's offensive and defensive system is in chaos, coupled with forced three-point shooting, the team's cohesion is not as good as before after the coaching change. It would be crazy if they can still win.
The Lakers are now a "Hulk". If you want to fight him, first see if you can break the defense.
One netizen is right, the current Lakers are a big boss. Teams with low attack power are given away when they come. Only when the attack power can break the defense can they compete with the Lakers. Moreover, you also need to have high defensive power.
Only with high offense and high defense can we defeat the Lakers. Otherwise, you won’t even be able to pick off their hair. Otherwise, God appears and the whole team feels explosive, a lottery-winning situation, otherwise... it’s like...
Deliver food.
The Lakers also know that the Grizzlies' interior offense plays a very important role, so they are more rogue and simply use defensive tactics to empty out the inside, deliberately inducing the Grizzlies' interior to attack. The result of the offense is that Randolph was blocked.
Well, he is really old now, and his speed is getting slower and slower. He only had 4 big blocks by Tang Qian in the whole game, which made it impossible for him to have a mentality tonight without exploding. Even the Grizzlies originally had
One of their special magic weapons has become somewhat difficult to use in the hands of new coach David Fizdale. The center support near the free throw line, namely Gasol, has also been dismantled by the Lakers.
The team just went around without even making a substitution, and then put Conley, who was holding the ball, into a low post deadlock. The Lakers quickly shrunk in the low post, and then made a mistake.
When the Lakers passed by, Tang Qian made the same support in the middle and blocked the ball. Gasol's eyes immediately went straight when he saw the ball. Because he is also a master of inside pivots in the system and has a strong golf quotient.
Just like his brother Gasol, he is an extremely good inside pivot, so he must be proficient in off-the-ball support. He is definitely a master at this. When the Grizzlies were strong in the past few years
, this move allows a team without super players, or even a first-class scorer, to reach the fourth district in the Western Conference. Any strong team will lose its skin when it encounters it, and Gasol is indispensable.
But what he had just seen was that this Oriental center's positional sense and positional judgment for cover and support had reached a point that far exceeded him. The last time he saw such a person, he was retired from the Spurs.
No. 21. Generally speaking, an inside player can survive in this league if he masters one of offense, defense, rebounding, eating pie, and organization and coordination. If he masters two of them, he can now become a powerful star. Mastered
3 is definitely the cornerstone of a team. 3 or more... To be honest, it is rare in history. At present, Gasol has not been seen among the players in the new era. Otherwise, it is impossible to compare with the current insiders.
As mentioned before, basic data is only one aspect, and there are many things that cannot be reflected in basic data.
It seems that he has thick eyebrows, but Gasol himself does not seem to be that way, because his organization and coordination are not good, and the passing is just for the sake of passing, and the effect is very poor. Therefore, his ability to lead the team is not enough.
This is a flaw. Garnett and Duncan are all this type of players, but they all play like a power forward, a real inside player... The last one should be the era of the four major centers in the 1990s. The four major centers
...Except for O'Neal. Haha. It's so ironic.
O'Neal's partial subjects are too perverted, and he is more versatile than him, which is not his cup of tea.
As for the one who was truly both comprehensive and sophisticated, the last one was Hakeem Olajuwon, who was omnipotent and omniscient, so if you look at the current T.N.T commentator Kenny Smith, he will be there for a lifetime.
Olajuwon blew it. It has never changed. Kenny Smith can silence others with just one sentence. "Big Dream" won't pick his teammates to win the championship. How many lines are there?
This is too scary. Having strong personal ability is one thing. Not choosing teammates means...basically you have to be good at everything, be strong at everything, and can make up for any tactical points temporarily. This guy...could he be
...the next Olajuwon?
In addition, in this era, the world is completely dominated by Tyrannosaurus Rex with athletic ability, and they can be slaughtered on the inside.
In terms of external conditions, it is indeed what O'Neal said. The competition inside is not as fierce as it was before the 21st century. That means external conditions are also strengthening people like them. As long as you can keep up with the small ball, then you are this
A symbol of invincibility inside the era. But what really surprised Gasol was not Tang Qian's personal offensive and defensive abilities. That was not what he envied. Under the influence of European basketball, he still yearned for Sabonis who could lead the team.
Insider. This is also his pride.
Now, No. 29 seemed to have surpassed him, which surprised him the most.
When what you consider your strongest point is not as good as the other person's, that's when you really feel desperate.
Listen to the somewhat helpless voice of our home commentator: Oh my god, he blocked two of our players in the middle of the field. We have no choice about this ball. We can't defend this ball.
You know, this feeling is gloomy. Gasol bet that the previous No. 29 did not have this ability. Although he was strong on the ball last season, it did not have such a strong strengthening effect on the whole. Now...he
He has reached the limit of an all-around center. Looking at history, he can arm-wrestle with any great player.
No wonder...the four-star Warriors have a hard time playing with them.
No wonder... the outside world said that the Yongcai of the universe is worthy of competing with them, they are not joking.
Our own Grizzlies are not a rival, not a rival at all, they are too far apart. Too far away.
In this game, the Lakers defended the Grizzlies and almost failed to score 25 points at halftime. The Grizzlies had their throats completely choked and could only be slaughtered. Gasol was very frustrated, but... this is the fact.
When the Lakers put on the bench, Gasol saw his brother's expression, and he suddenly took advantage of the gap and said:
Don't compare with this kind of people, just follow our own path. They are born eagles, born to constantly challenge high altitudes.
Be yourself and focus on the present. Comparing with them will only make you lose more and more confidence, brother.
Seeing what Gasol said, Gasol struggled a little at first, but when he saw the score of this game, he fell helplessly into silence.
