They beat the Grizzlies in a small way and clocked out at halftime. Veterans Deron Williams and Joe Johnson performed well in this game. They both scored more than 15 points with very few shots. Deron
There was even a 2+1 attack against the Grizzlies' Conley, which was quite exciting. But it was a flash of inspiration. He was no longer the Deron who ate, slept and beat Paul. Facts have proved that he left the Jazz.
That's a huge mistake.
It turns out that Mr. Sloan's pick-and-roll was the most suitable playing system for him.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs in life. When he and Sloan broke up, he had already reached the trough of his life.
Now, he can only serve as a veteran backup on the Lakers' bench. In fact, he is only 33 years old.
As a point guard, he should still be at the tail end of his golden age, but he has died long ago. Now his performance can be criticized. In fact, for a player like him who has had great success, it is a kind of "torture".
Let’s see if Paul still plays a dual-core style with the Rockets. As for himself, it’s okay not to mention it.
105-75, 30 points slaughtered the Grizzlies, leaving the Grizzlies to swallow a bitter pill at home.
I originally thought that the Lakers would continue to win consecutively, but in the game on December 5th, they unexpectedly failed. The opponent they faced was the Jazz, who were not very strong. However, the Jazz exploded in this game.
The touch is invincible, even Jeff Vichy is a "killer", and he is no less capable of making strong and separated shots. You tell me how you want to do it. There is really no way to do this kind of ball, let alone the current Lakers.
Even the "Five-Star Shining" Warriors that appeared in the original time and space had nights like this.
He was defeated inexplicably and lost completely.
This game, including Tang Qian, was a little out of shape. The whole team was in a sluggish state. The total hits for the whole game were less than 30%. As for the opponent, the overall hit rate was more than 60%. It is unreasonable not to lose. For this kind of situation
There was nothing the Lakers could do during the game, and Larry Brown didn't criticize him too much, because as the head coach, he knew very well that on a night like this, it would be useless no matter who came.
How can we win when we are collectively booming and depressed at the same time? There is nothing we can do if we lose.
In this game, Hayward made 8 of 9 three-pointers, which were all very difficult. He scored 40 points in the game, which allowed him to show off his performance at the Staples Center. The Lakers lost this game.
After three games, the current record reached 21 wins and 2 losses. The Warriors actually took the opportunity to cash in and temporarily pushed the Lakers to second place with half a game.
It's like this again. Tang Qian lost the best player of the month. He was really drunk. It was as if the best player and Tang Qian had a grudge. Something went wrong every time at the last moment. Forget it, the key is to continue the back-to-back games. The Lakers
The team went to Houston to challenge the Rockets. When the two sides met for the first time, the Lakers narrowly won, but were almost defeated by the Rockets. What will happen this time?
Many people want to watch this game, so the level of anticipation has soared to the first place. Naturally, t.n.t broadcast it live across the United States. Whoever doesn’t broadcast it is a fool. This time the combination is Barkley + Kenny Smith.
.
Many Tang Mi people are complaining, and finally they don’t have to see the “fat guy” burying their idols anymore, which makes them depressed.
There is no way, now Tang Qian is not as good as O'Brien in terms of honor and status, so there is nothing wrong with this dissatisfaction. Just bear with it for now. This is also an unspoken rule in the NBA. If you are not qualified, then don't show off. O'Neal,
One of the top ten super giants in history is obviously qualified. He also likes to brag about his great achievements everywhere. If you are unhappy, you can't destroy him.
This fat man is also very good at adapting to the situation. Those who are better than him have more rings than him. He basically doesn’t complain. For example, Kobe, look at whether he still complains now. All day long he is “Oh, I regret it very much. We
"We should have won six or seven championships together." This kind of nonsense is now being said all the time. If you don't know, you think he and Kobe really love each other. In fact, before 2010, no one knew that the two
What's going on personally? So if you want this fat guy to shut up, just hit him with a ring without saying anything.
The Rockets are fourth in the Western Conference this season, and their record is only half a game less than the Spurs. If they win, they will be third. The light bulb combination appeared earlier than the original time and space, and its power is amazing. Magic Ball Theory,
D'Antoni has also been pushed to the maximum. In the first few games, they were relatively restrained. Now if they don't concede 40+ three-pointers in a game, they are not called the Rockets.
You can say that they rely too much on three-pointers, but you can't deny that once they surrender, they will be unstoppable.
Because the ability to continuously hit three-pointers is so strong, how persistent is this team for three-pointers? Historically, the record for three-pointers made by a team in a single game belongs to them, not the Warriors. The three-pointers shot in a single game also belong to them.
70+ three-pointers in a single game, just ask if you are afraid. The Warriors are nothing compared to the Rockets, who have entered the "Magic Ball".
He is a younger brother just by shooting three-pointers.
Before the game, the Lakers were no longer confused about the opening game. Larry Brown clearly analyzed the response method and wrote it on the whiteboard in the locker room. There were several reasons why we did not play well in the first game.
The problem is that the opponent's two combo guards were not sufficiently protected. Everyone knew that Paul would play like this, but Harden did not expect it. It must be admitted that D'Antoni activated Harden's point guard factor and took over the play style. Now
Harden also belongs to one. He is still the league's top assists leader. He cannot be treated easily with the previous methods. In addition, Harden's scoring ability this season is basically infinitely close to that of a super scorer... Pay attention, our first
The place where more points are scored is the pick-and-roll between Harden and Ryan Anderson who came over this season. Although they can also play pick-and-roll inside and outside, they mainly play pick-and-roll outside and three-pointers. Anderson has broken three-pointers this season.
40%, don’t let it go easily...Be careful about three-pointers...Butler pays attention to controlling fouls...
Note that on the defensive end, they also play an unlimited defensive lineup, which will greatly weaken the effect of our pick-and-roll...
The problem of misplaced singles...
…
Seven seconds or less + Money Ball Theory, let me see what level you can reach this time, let me see if your playoffs are worthy of my in-depth analysis. Larry Brown looked at the Toyota Center
Team Rocket pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said.
It's still the same on D'Antoni's side. He is mainly responsible for guiding the offense, and then the defense is handed over to the newly hired assistant coach "Bush Coach" Jeff Bzdelik. The latter is what D'Antoni mainly invited to focus on defense.
Anthony also knew that he was not very knowledgeable in this area, so he went directly to ask talented people to cooperate with him. He proposed to learn the Lakers' infinite defense change style of play, because this is the most suitable for the Rockets' current team theory, which requires seven seconds or more.
A very important point of less + magic ball theory, or simply "seven-second magic ball theory" is mobility. But if you want mobility and it is easy to have problems with the inside line being weak, what should you do? So, just switch to defense without limit, just go straight. What else can you do?
Don't tell me, this Jeff Buzdelik is really quite capable, and D'Antoni's ideas came true in his hands. Look at the original time and space, in the 18-19 season, when the Rockets started Buzdelik
Ke resigned, the defense plummeted, and the record dropped to more than a dozen places in the Western Conference. Later, after he returned at the end of November, the Rockets' record and defense improved dramatically. Therefore, this guy still has some skills.
D'Antoni said directly in the Rockets: Shoot when you have the chance. James and Chris are in charge. When the others get the ball, they have to take decisive action when they have the chance. If anyone hesitates, come down and sit on the bench. Superstar Ball tries to play pick-and-rolls before mismatching the singles.
Pick, reduce the situation of one-on-one with the Lakers.
What he did was right. Harden has not yet evolved to the point of playing indiscriminate singles, so this is very reasonable.
Then the defense, according to Bzdelik, operates normally and adjusts according to the situation.
In the end, D'Antoni passionately exaggerated: As long as we take the shot, no team on this earth can stop us. Everyone must have confidence in themselves and their teammates. We must make decisive shots, no matter whether we are leading or lagging behind, in one word
, Decisive! Did you hear everyone???
Everyone in the Rockets nodded. D'Antoni's offensive routine is naturally "the most popular" and he is decisive in attacking. Who wouldn't want to? The previous head coaches of the team always told them to be cautious and wait for the opportunity before shooting. How could they?
D'Antoni is so happy? Therefore, D'Antoni's joining the Rockets was extremely successful. It didn't take long for everyone to "submit to him" and "give orders" to him.
This is also one of D'Antoni's abilities. He can quickly gain recognition from players. Unless the place is not suitable for him to promote the system, such as the Lakers in the 12-13 season of the original time and space, then he has no choice. He needs to have the right players.
Only with the chess pieces in hand can you do all this. Otherwise, you will be an ordinary and mediocre coach.
And if you look at him, no matter whether you are ahead or behind, you are required to take decisive action. This is something that many head coaches cannot tolerate. Because if you do so, you are likely to throw away a good situation. But there is no way.
People don't care.
Look at the embarrassing three-point record created by the Rockets in time and space. In the tiebreaker of the Western Conference Finals, they were able to shoot 27 consecutive irons. And, as you can see, overall, there is nothing to be afraid of. It’s just you, right? I’ll keep shooting.
Yes, anyway, the coach said, be decisive. Whether you are leading or lagging behind, just vote, vote, vote!!! Don’t be afraid, I will vote!!!
Then he was killed by the Warriors.
This shows that D'Antoni really implements his coaching philosophy and is not just talking about it for fun.
After the two sides shook hands and exchanged simple greetings, the game officially started. It was still Tang Qian's battle for the ball. There was nothing to say about it. The Lakers attacked. As expected, the Rockets insisted on single defense + unlimited defense changes and simplified all tactics. In the words of Coach Bu
The only thing to ensure is to try to keep someone in front of your opponent. Someone is better than no one. Someone can always interfere.
Well, it sounds like it makes some sense.
When it comes to singles play, the Rockets also resolutely defend alone and do not make substitutions.
Because the Lakers don't have a first-class scorer on the outside, Butler has never been at that level. But tonight Butler was very impressive, and he got in from the beginning, which gave Lakers fans a piece of reassurance. But D'Antoni
Well, he doesn't care about this at all. For him, it's enough to overwhelm the opponent offensively. The Rockets' defense this season is already the best team since he coached the NBA, and he has nothing to be dissatisfied with.
He used to be a typical and famous "no defense system" head coach.
Now that the team has an unlimited defense system, he said he was very satisfied with it, 100 points.
The Rockets are still very confident in the backcourt. They formed a lightbulb combination a year ago, which means that Paul is more capable. They can be fearless from anyone in the league in the backcourt. This is very difficult. The two of them can directly pick and roll.
You don't know what to do. The Lakers' choice was to substitute, but Paul still scored the goal and half of the basket went into the net.
This is the personal ability of a star, and there is nothing you can do about it.
D'Antoni correctly figured out that Lakers No. 29 would link up with his teammates at the beginning and he would not be too offensive, so the arrangement was very proper. It seemed that he was strictly guarding the inside, but in fact it was just a false position. It was just a show, but in fact he was all focused.
On the outside. This can ensure that the defense can be expanded as quickly as possible. The Lakers attack. But the Lakers also have their own method, that is, the ball strongly cuts off the pick-and-roll between Harden and Anderson, allowing the two to start.
There were several mistakes.
Both sides played very poorly at the beginning, and there were many battles between each other. It was obvious that the head coaches of both sides were not idle.
It seems that the Rockets are ambitious this season. Larry Brown thought slightly when he saw this, because if they want to win the championship this season, not to mention the Warriors, the Lakers are also a mountain that the Western Conference team must climb. The Rockets
So actively preparing for war...
It's been half a quarter, but neither side has scored more than single digits. This makes D'Antoni a little annoyed. It doesn't matter that Larry Brown is a defensive team-building coach, but he is not good at it. If the game continues like this, even if the Lakers
The team's rhythm has changed.
This season, the Rockets' scoring is equal to that of the Warriors, which is enough to illustrate the problem. Their team has four shining stars, plus the super scoring champion Durant. Although the Rockets also have a light bulb combination, in terms of lineup and firepower,
That's still a long way behind the Warriors of the Universe. But their average offensive firepower per game is comparable to that of the Warriors. This cannot but be said about D'Antoni's power.
But this is also the reason why the Warriors have not exerted too much force, and the biggest problem for the Rockets is...their magic ball guiding ideology will make the team's state extremely dependent on the outside touch. If the outside touch is good, any team will
You can kill them all. If you don't feel good on the outside, you will kill yourself. Even though you have the insurance of the light bulb combination, the fluctuation range is still greater than that of the Warriors. Besides, the Rockets' lineup this season is not as good as the previous ones, and many players are not thorough.
As it grows, it is still not stable enough.
When encountering high-intensity defense or large-scale defense, changes will occur.
But that's a matter for the playoffs. It's hard to say now during the regular season.
Larry Brown specially designed a play at this time, specifically for the Rockets' lineup, which is not as good as the Lakers, so he believes that the former's unlimited defense will cause problems. That is...
Their lineup is too soft. They can use the 4th position to attack, especially after switching defenses. They are not as rich as the Lakers' lineup. Their size is a flaw. Except for Rondo, the Lakers don't have anyone under 2 meters tall.
. This point will give you a big advantage in unlimited defense changes, especially if you fall inside and are short, you will always suffer.
So in addition to Tang Qian playing inside, he also wants to use the 4th position to disrupt the Rockets' unlimited defensive lineup.
Normally, this tactical setting is very reasonable, but who would have thought...
What the hell is this even possible???
