Chapter 1444 Insider? Houston's three-point hit team arrives~
The Rockets actually use Harder to top the paint???
You read that right? What the hell kind of trick is this? But don’t tell me, the effect is really good. It actually made Larry Brown’s arrangement ineffective. But what the hell is Ha going to the top of the inside line?
?Is this still possible???
, Don’t tell me, Harden’s defense has never been very good. Although he is no longer defensive this season, he is still at a mid-level level. If you say he can strangle anyone, that is impossible. But there is data to prove it, ha.
He is a good player in the interior and in the low post. I'm not lying. Harden is the strongest defender in the data sample at defending low post guards. Of course, it doesn't matter if it's just a few games. This is calculated for a normal entire season.
Data. ESPN later published a special article and analyzed it. The reason why the Rockets were able to push the Warriors to that point is because their Harden can directly hit the low post and Capela can defend the perimeter. They are extremely flexible and extremely weird.
This is a special ability that all players under 2 meters tall cannot possess.
It's especially useful against short and stocky insiders. You can't directly hit him with your head high, but they can be effectively interfered with and hard-topped. People are not afraid of this. This move made the Lakers a little confused again.
Not to mention the Lakers, how many people in the world are not confused? Even Kobe couldn't help but nod to Harden when he saw this on TV.
Well, you are indeed the sports drink spokesperson signed by our company, okay, okay.
However, the Lakers still won the game well.
Griffin was even beaten by Harden in the low post, and this special talent frustrates Randall.
This period of trouble also allowed the Rockets to seize the opportunity again and blindly throw in a three-pointer.
Damn it, are all today’s teams playing like this? Larry Brown is also a little speechless. If this happened in the past, he would have been scolded to death. But the Rockets don’t care at all. Everyone can shoot, just shoot.
I dared to vote even if I had the slightest chance. And I voted very decisively, without showing any signs of sloppiness.
Nonsense, the Warriors can't even compete with the Rockets in three-point shooting.
This is the three-point team that the NBA likes most and dares to shoot three-pointers the most since its establishment.
There was a ball that was shot directly against his own head. Ariza was speechless. This was too daring to shoot.
Suddenly the Lakers fell behind by 9 points. Seeing this situation, the Lakers reacted and had no time to think. They had to score stably first, and then find opportunities to take action and regain the situation. This kind of reverse situation is naturally
It is better to give the most reliable player to solve the problem. Tang Qian is also unambiguous, he just plays with the ball. Capela doesn't care how flexible your defense is or how daring you are to fight, that's all for space insiders.
Yes, for myself, it is just a plate of food.
It just depends on whether it is a side dish or a hard dish.
But essentially, it’s still a dish.
Tang Qian raised his heel, looking like he was about to exert his strength. Capela immediately tensed up his muscles, preparing for the tank collision, but who knew that Tang Qian's ball slipped past him with a clever hit, and then
When he pulled it up, it was a slam dunk. Bang, the Rockets' basket suffered the first heavyweight baptism of the night.
Capella is also speechless. You are so strong, but you still need to be resourceful? You are... not giving people a way to survive.
The Rockets also expected this. D'Antoni's method is still the same. It doesn't matter if he can't defend. Anyway, just make up for it on the offensive end. They score and we score. In the end, we just need to score more than them. This concept was his when he was with the Suns.
Just like that, there haven't been many changes now. Although the team now has a defensive system that can supplement the entire system of the German coach, it is just a supplement. Of course, what he values more is the offensive end.
This is my handsome style.
Let's talk about the Lakers' No. 29, which team can guard him now? Since there is none, and since he can't guard him, then he is not inferior to him, just calm down. Don't tell me, what is D'Antoni doing to him?
In terms of losing points, I'm really considerate.
The Lakers still want to have both sides of the ball in this game, that is, guarding both the inside and outside lines, but it seems to be difficult tonight. Because the Rockets' outside lines are simply at the level of "making a few random shots" of three-pointers. I don't know.
Is everyone used to it, so the shooting rate can always be maintained at a level? Even Larry Brown discovered that this Rockets team, even if it is a substitute water machine, dares to directly shoot three-pointers, against the
It is not uncommon to invest.
This is really... an abnormal head coach!
A head coach like Larry Brown is almost at the opposite end of the spectrum from D'Antoni. Seeing D'Antoni "fooling around" like this, he couldn't stand it. He even secretly thought in his heart: This guy led the Lakers to win the championship.
To win the championship? I’m really drunk.
, this is why Larry Brown thought too much. He won the championship that year. Anyone who knows the inside story knows that it has little to do with D'Antoni. After Nash came back later, he did play a good game, with Nash taking the lead and the others running and gunning.
Keeping up, Kobe, who is at his peak, and Tang Qian, who is extremely athletic, can indeed play like this. But in key games, superstar ball basically solves the problem.
During the previous period, Nash and Gasol were both injured, and so was Randall. It really meant that after Kobe finished throwing, Tang Qian started throwing again. Otherwise, the team members would not be able to slowly return. Ji
The same is true in the playoffs. The invincibility of superstar ball is the key to the Lakers winning the last game. In addition, Tang Qian came down from heaven in the first playoff game, and he was born to beat James in the finals. Many factors added up to achieve the total victory that year.
Champion D'Antoni's most common thought at that time was that he was a soy saucer.
I won this championship by myself, without any trace of coaching.
The Lakers in the latter season and the Rockets now are the style he wants, a strong D'Antoni style.
He wants to use his own style to win a championship. This is his biggest idea at the moment.
They can't play like this, they have to pinch their perimeter, and there's no way to give them room to break through. This team's three-point shooting is simply crazy. Larry Brown is really afraid that if they surrender, they will kill the Lakers in one shot.
.Larry Brown adjusted the team's defense. He no longer had to do everything, but only focused on the opponent's 3-pointers. The effect was immediately apparent. After all, the Lakers' defense this season is still the absolute best in the league.
.
After expanding to defend three-pointers, opponents should not try to take shots so easily. Otherwise, do you think the Lakers are in trouble?
The Lakers took the opportunity to close the score, and the Rockets' offense began to show signs of fatigue. However, as an offensive madman, D'Antoni would not give up so easily on the offensive end. He immediately started a misplaced pick-and-roll and continued to score. This move is indeed difficult to do.
They don't just give up once they don't block, they will conduct continuous pick-and-rolls until they find mismatched opportunities.
Although the Lakers tried their best to protect Tang Qian from getting out, there was no way Randall could not get out. Paul was a master at attacking big players with small amounts of money. Randall suffered several pick-and-roll mismatches in a row, which really made Randall a little bit.
I want to cry without tears. The Lakers also immediately made adjustments, replacing Randle and replacing him with Covington, directly forming a super infinite defense lineup. Under such circumstances, the Rockets want to easily play small and big,
It's not that easy.
Rondo + Butler + Ariza + Covington are all players who can defend the perimeter. They have quick legs and feet and strong abilities. Unless you are like Universe Yong, who blasts indiscriminately at a single point, otherwise, you will not be able to easily find mismatched singles.
It's not easy to have gaps. Don't forget, the Lakers also have unlimited defensive lineups, and they are one of the originators of this system.
Seeing that Paul's small play and big play were suppressed, the Rockets did not intend to let Paul directly go to one-on-one, and quickly adopted a breakout play. They had two breakout masters, and the Lakers were unable to fully utilize it.
Limit it. After all, the pass can be passed to four people. Unlike shooting, there is only one direction. The route and time of the pass are also more difficult to judge. You can completely block the pass, but that is impossible.
What's more, Harden and Paul are both masters of breakthroughs with the help of pick-and-rolls. It's hard to say whether they can score when they break through, but passing the ball out is still no problem. Do you think the assists they have so many are fake?
This can restrict death, so there is no royal law.
Not playing basketball anymore.
However, the Lakers also had a way. Not long after, they directly released Capela. Whether Harden or Paul came in, give them the middle and let them face Tang Qian head-on. If the ball was passed, they would immediately scatter and fight for the best chance.
Quickly expand the defense to make up for it. Pressing Impossible every time can have the effect of reducing the opponent's efficiency, which is enough. Because the Lakers still have a big advantage.
Tang Qian on the inside made a hard kill, and they absolutely couldn't stop him.
Capela has been knocked over countless times, but he didn't dare to reach out too much to avoid getting into foul trouble early. If he went down, it would be a major blow to the Rockets' defense. Tang Qian also
It can be seen that the Rockets' overall shrinking and assisting defense effects are very average. Their defensive system has unlimited defense changes, which is just for simple defense changes and to prevent offensive players from having empty baskets in front of them.
It's not that this defensive concept is wrong, but it doesn't work well when faced with a super scorer who is one-on-one.
You can blow up this point and blow up their inside line.
As long as the defense keeps their efficiency down, they will win for sure.
The Lakers are also different from the first game. They no longer want to defend everything inside and outside, otherwise they will be disrupted by the Rockets. This team's backcourt is indeed an offensive tandem, No. 1 in the league. Compared to the defense line, the Splash Brothers
None of them are as strong as their comprehensive abilities. After all, the Splash Brothers' passing support is not very good, and it is impossible to compare with Harden and Paul. Of course, it is different with the addition of the Tsunami Brothers as a striker. That kind of outside strength is not available this season.
A transcendent one.
The Rockets have indeed become a complete D'Antoni style team. If you blow up our inside line, just blow it up. We just need to continue attacking. The Lakers obviously have the advantage during the bench time, but the Rockets Paul comes up to lead the team.
The team, similar to the first game, managed to hold on, and because of two magical three-pointers from the outside, it actually outscored the Lakers' bench by 1 point. This really gave Larry Brown a headache. Three-pointers
The ball's destructive power is indeed very strong, and with the point guard master Chris Paul forcing the connection, the effect is remarkable.
To be honest, Larry Brown has never encountered a team that likes to shoot three-pointers so much in his life. He thought that last year's Warriors were exaggerated enough. They were already the best shooting team in history. But as a result, if the three-pointers were compared in a single match,
, there is no comparison between the Warriors and this season's Rockets. Last year, the Warriors shot so many three-pointers, which means they averaged about 30 three-pointers in a single game. What about the Rockets?
This season, they are averaging 40 points per game. Even because they formed a light bulb combination in advance, their three-pointers have become more explosive earlier. The original time and space has just reached 40 this season, and now... it has been
It’s approaching 45+.
This also needs to be calculated. Sometimes they don't throw much, and it's garbage time, etc. If it's a little more, it will go up to 50, but it won't stop at 60.
Just ask, where has there been such a crazy three-point team before? It's normal for Larry Brown to have a headache.
He obviously played well on the bench and was ahead for a while, but in the end, the opponent made two consecutive three-pointers, and the point difference on the bench was basically zero. The ability of the Lakers to chase points with three-pointers is really scary. But the Lakers
The field defense was pretty good, and everyone who should be guarded was basically guarded, which at least made the Rockets not very comfortable.
For example, Ryan Anderson, who had a very eye-catching performance in the first game, was held back by the Lakers and was a bit unable to perform tonight.
He is actually a very obvious space 4 position, but unfortunately, as soon as the Lakers' unlimited defensive lineup comes out, everyone can keep up with him, making his pulling out strategy completely invalid, and Capela cannot be pulled out to shoot three-pointers.
, so the destructive power of unlimited defensive lineup changes for the Lakers is far less than that of Universe Yong. The five points on Universe Yong's side can be pulled out to shoot three-pointers, and they are all accurate. This situation is different, and the single points are also more important.
Only if you are strong will you be in a situation of destruction. Don't even think about the Rockets.
Not everyone is brave, and if one day the Warriors miss one of the five points, it won't be so difficult to deal with. You can't say for sure.
But what makes Tang Qian a little depressed is that the Lakers are always unable to widen the point difference, because every time they open up a little bit, their opponents forcefully catch up with them through three-pointers, and they shoot more.
, the shooting rate is okay, but you can't hold it all down. Again, shooting is one of the most difficult offensive techniques to hold down completely, especially three-pointers, and you basically have no way to help defend and shrink.
For defense, it depends on whether a single defensive point can reduce the hit rate.
And the Rockets have two point guard masters. A little bit of space will be captured, no wonder it feels uncomfortable to play.
It's a bit similar to the Grizzlies in the past. The defense wears you down and it's not easy for you to win. Now the Rockets are just the opposite. They don't rely on defense, but offense. No matter how you play, we can pass three
Score the ball, quickly reduce the score, keep the game in suspense, and prevent you from relaxing at all.
And there is one area that has been overlooked, and that is the unpredictability of the Rockets' offense. This is an area that has been discussed a lot on the original time and space network. It is claimed that the Rockets actually do not have many specific offensive routines at all, because they have 2
As a point guard master, there is no need for these things at all. Not needing too many tactical routines means that it is impossible to predict. Everything is Harden and Paul temporarily deciding who to pass to and how to play. How can you predict?
The best person to do this is the Lakers legend "Magic". To paraphrase his old rival the Celtics, all the offensive routines of the Lakers are actually "Magic" himself. This may be a bit exaggerated, but
It also makes sense. This kind of point guard masters pass the ball after reading the defense. And when passing the ball like this, they often don't know how they will pass it next time. It all depends on the feeling at the time.
In this way, how can you prevent it in advance? So there are still traces of the passing and cutting system. There is really no way to do this.
There are two more of them, which makes people speechless.
D'Antoni now has an initial version of his offensive stunt, which he saw in the first game, running around the whole court.
Anyway, if you find an opportunity to get rid of people, if you really run out of position, the ball will definitely come to your hand.
So confident!
We have two point guard masters who are not just for show. No matter how chaotic the situation is, they can forcefully divert it. This is something that no team in the league can do. And this kind of random running without rhythm
, is often the easiest to mess up the defensive formation and defensive rhythm of the defender. The Warriors suffered a big loss from this in the original time and space. They are obviously the league's best perimeter defense, but they are still a little overwhelmed by this.
With this move, D'Antoni made it clear that I want to take advantage of the team's point guard ability. Can you compare?
Go ahead and be jealous. Apart from anything else, D'Antoni is truly one of the boldest players in history when it comes to tactical experiments.
Larry Brown doesn't like him on this point, and he must admit that he is not as crazy as this guy, and he is not as bold as this guy.
In this way, the Lakers clearly have the advantage on the scene, but they are always being caught up by the opponent. This kind of alternative Grizzlies style of play makes the defender prone to anxiety. After all, defense is still passive.
That is to say, the Lakers can stay in control with Tang Qian, but if it were the Warriors, they would be in chaos.
It is really difficult to defend this Rockets team. Their various weird playing styles and offensive modes make people speechless.
The game thus entered the fourth quarter.
