"The Lakers need to change this period. The Rockets' mismatched pick-and-rolls are so good. I have to say that D'Antoni is really an experimental maniac and can always bring me new surprises." ESPN Live Room
Here, the old coach K lamented that after all, any innovation requires courage, which is what D'Antoni admired. "I think the Lakers can temporarily replace Rondo, so that Harden's misplaced singles will not be used."
The method went smoothly." McGrady suggested.
However, if Rondo is really replaced, what should Paul do? Has no one considered this issue? Without Rondo's restraint, Paul's offensive power will explode significantly. And Paul is only 180cm tall.
His height, speed and agility are very high, and Paul is the league's signature figure because he can play small and big, so if you replace a player with a height of more than 2 meters, you will basically be beaten.
This is where Team Rocket goes crazy.
Replacement with shorter players, except for Rondo, lacks defensive skills and is of no use, and Harden still plays the same.
This change was actually tried in the last game. When both Rondo and Beverley were misplaced to defend Harden, the effect was very poor. Harden's size and strength are too big on the back line, and you have too much advantage in these aspects.
If you don't go up, you will be beaten under pressure. D'Antoni's approach is really not simple, and many teams will start to learn from it in the future.
To pursue efficiency as much as possible in singles, this is really... very D'Antoni.
China Sports Channel is also worried, wondering how the Lakers will respond.
At the Staples Center, the Rockets attacked again, and it was still a misplaced pick-and-roll after falling into position. It seemed that the ball was still going to Harden. Because the Lakers did not come to help defend and attack on the line. In this case, Harden
How could it be possible without playing? Although he is not playing indiscriminate singles now, Harden is already familiar with mismatched one-on-one singles, which is also in line with his style of play.
Without that kind of strength, Harden would not be so enthusiastic. Although he often hangs out in nightclubs and likes big breasts and buttocks, his brain has always been very clear. He knows how to exploit his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.
So the Lakers don't double attack, so good, they do it themselves.
Harden still asked for a pick-and-roll, wanting to attack with a different defensive target as before. He had done this in the previous few shots, and the effect was good. But, this time... he asked for a pick-and-roll and then broke through, but suddenly found that his own
In front of him, it was Jimmy Butler of the Lakers! This surprised him a little. Didn't he ask for a pick-and-roll? Why...
Yes, he asked for the pick-and-roll, but Anderson's pick-and-roll was too fragile. Although Anderson is 208cm tall, he weighs only 240 pounds. At 240 pounds, he is only 10 pounds heavier than Butler. Because he is 7cm taller, he looks as strong as
Butler is not at the same level at all. His confrontational nature has never been very good. This is a key reason why he was obviously good offensively, but was eventually abandoned.
Apart from offensive shooting, he seems to know nothing else.
Such a contract is really poisonous. Harden is naturally unwilling to play hard when facing Butler, because in comparison, it is much easier for him to play Rondo. Butler is too hard and normal offense will not be effective. But
He asked for high pick-and-rolls twice, but failed to stop Butler, preventing him from mismatching singles.
Butler is also holding back a lot of anger. He will keep an eye on Harden no matter what tonight. His subjective initiative is amazing.
Harden didn't have much time left, so he could only pass the ball to Gerald Green in the corner. Green made a hasty three-pointer and missed. At the same time, he thought to himself, don't imitate the Cavaliers' No. 23, don't
Give me this bomb ball.
Although you all have the name "James" in it.
The Lakers offense caused the Rockets to foul and made 2 of 2 free throws.
The Rockets tried hard for a three-pointer, but still couldn't score. It seemed that they didn't feel good yet.
It's a pity that the Lakers didn't score this ball. Butler's three-pointer hit the neck of the basket and bounced high. Although Tang Qian touched the basketball, he was limited by his position and couldn't get the ball. The Rockets
After Paul asked for a pick-and-roll, he made a direct three-pointer, but he still missed.
The Lakers gave Tang Qian a pass, and Tang Qian made a low pass. Randall received the ball and directly stepped up, 2+1.
The Rockets' Paul didn't change the ball in the pick-and-roll. Rondo also directly grabbed it and used his super long arms to create a lot of trouble for Paul. At least there was no problem with the high-quality delay. After Paul came in, he was separated because of the separation.
Xin was struggling with Rondo, but the ball was barely strong, and the angle and time difference were not good. Tang Qian directly blocked the shot.
The Lakers hit the ball in the mid-range, Tang Qian got an offensive rebound, the offense was violated, and he made 1 of 2 free throws from the free throw line.
We can't play like this. Outside shooting is not online. We need stars to continue to support and wait for everyone to feel better before making other plans. Otherwise, the magic ball will not be available right now. And the Rockets' most stable point is No. 13 Harden.
, it’s normal to give it to him.
D'Antoni also directed the same way off the court. He asked Harden to take the initiative to attack.
Harden also forced a shot against Butler, but this was not the beginning, because Harden's shooting rate throughout this period was not high and relatively sluggish. Butler's performance was extraordinary tonight, and his defensive performance was
The Flames were a bit dazzling for everyone to see. In the next round, Butler actually intercepted the pass to Harden and then made a quick push alone. Even Harden retreated quickly, but he still underestimated Butler's goal.
Determined to score. Just stand up and go up, fight physically, and then hit, 2 points are valid, and 1 free throw is added.
After scoring the goal, Butler also let out a bad breath, shook his fist at Harden, and yelled in celebration.
After seeing Butler make a free throw, the Lakers began to retreat, but Paul walked up to Harden and said:
"Fight him back, don't let him be so arrogant!"
Harden said directly: "Of course, and one is not enough. If you offend me, the consequences will be very serious."
On the offensive end, Harden still used a high pick-and-roll. He wanted Capela to come out to block one, but in the end Anderson came up. Why did Capela seldom come up to pick-and-roll tonight? You know, in normal times, he is very active in setting up pick-and-rolls.
Ah. It turned out that when I looked at the camera, I realized that it wasn't that he didn't want to come out, but... that he had some trouble tonight and couldn't come out.
Can't come out? What's the situation? The Rockets initially designed a pick-and-roll strategy where Capela deliberately came out to pick-and-roll, and then "drove the tiger away from the mountain". They wanted to use the pick-and-roll to open up the Lakers' No. 29 to the ball carrier.
A chance to go straight to the basket. As it turned out, the plan was to do this, but when I got on the court, I realized that it was a bit... wishful thinking.
Because the Rockets' No. 15 is a bit unable to get out now.
No. 29 of the Lakers is pressing hard against him, making it very difficult for him to move. No. 29 is really powerful. These broad shoulders make Capela a little at a loss. Every time he wants to wait for him to go out, Daylily
It's already cold, isn't it?
The attack time is limited.
Harden saw this and knew that he couldn't be the game-breaker tonight. He just couldn't come up if Capela couldn't come up, and he just played by himself. He's just a Butler. Do you really think you can defend yourself alone? What does Harden think about himself?
Even if he is very confident in his offensive ability, it is not false to be infinitely close to a super scorer, and let alone Butler, the same will be true when James is at his peak.
It is a false proposition that a single defense can defend oneself.
A super scorer-level player is almost impossible to defend alone, which is why Harden is so arrogant.
There is nothing wrong with Butler being a defensive player. Tonight, Harden was also sluggish in front of him, but that is all "past tense", and now it is considered "in progress". The two sides are separated, because there is no more pick-and-roll call.
Therefore, the area from the top arc to the free throw line is a one-on-one offensive and defensive stage. Butler is also unambiguous, just bending his waist and bending his knees, opening his hands to welcome Harden's attack.
Harden beat Butler in isolation. Butler's defensive steps were very good. Of course, it was also related to his desire to stop Harden. He had suffered a lot from Harden recently and was even sent off for 6 fouls.
So there is something in the consciousness... that we need to guard against.
The concentration is very concentrated, which makes Butler's defense a little stronger than usual.
Twenty seconds before the Rockets' offensive round, it was definitely a wonderful offense and defense. Harden faked a retreat, and Butler immediately chose to lean forward, without giving Harden any space or face. Harden took off his left foot.
, seemingly about to turn over and break through, Butler retreated again, opening up the defensive space. Harden immediately collected the ball and moved backward again. His right foot, which was the pivot foot of this offense, pulled back again and turned his body.
He was about to shoot. Butler immediately followed up with small steps, but he didn't expect that the Rockets' ball on No. 13 was a fake move. In fact, it was to "worship the Buddha". Harden charged, the rhythm was good, and the use of his body was also quite exciting. But, this
The ball was actually blocked by Jimmy Butler. After a physical confrontation, Harden's breakthrough momentum was severely curbed.
It's really good. Butler's defense tonight was like a miracle.
Harden's breakthrough was unfavorable, so he could only take a big step back, then raise his hand and shoot.
This ball reflects Butler's defensive skills. Harden wanted to use the rhythm to find an opening, as if Butler would fall into the trap tonight, but God failed. Butler concentrated on defense throughout the game, making it difficult for him to take action.
.
People don’t eat much if they fake it. What can I do?
Harden really wanted to shoot one directly, but reason told him that you can't do this. The Rockets are still lagging behind. It's too casual to play like this. The Rockets' magic ball is not running smoothly tonight, and someone needs to buy time.
, Harden also had to restrain himself a little, and stopped his desire to raise his hand and shoot.
Breakthrough after a fake move? Butler didn't take it and still didn't lose his defensive position.
The whole audience was cheering for Butler, wanting to see No. 13 defeated, but what a pity... someone used a big move.
After Harden changed his rhythm a few times, he made a strong breakthrough against Butler. Butler was confident about this shot and would not let the former succeed. His defensive status was also excellent tonight. Harden didn't want to score a few goals.
!
But he ignored it. Harden opened the door too loudly and hit the target.
There are many things that make Harden better than others. He is also a little sudden, natural and not artificial. He has perfect scores in many details. Of course, you can also call it a "perfect performance". Otherwise, why is it called
Here's the "King of Porcelain". When Butler saw the opponent coming, he still defended seriously. But a few seconds later, the referee blew the whistle. Butler committed a defensive foul and made two free throws.
Forget it, the main reason is that Butler came again soon afterwards.
Another foul occurred, Harden made a solid free throw from the free throw line, and the Rockets narrowed the score difference.
Butler was careful with the ball, but he still couldn't escape. Harden's skills in this area are incomprehensible to Jordan.
Not long into the first half, Butler committed his fourth foul, which made Larry Brown frown slightly.
It's a pity that for the Rockets, you don't dare to help defend and double-team easily, otherwise it will give Harden and Paul a chance to revitalize the team.
Beep beep ~ Another foul??? Butler was so angry that he punched the chair where he was resting.
At this time, the Rockets' outside touch finally returned and began to compete with the Lakers.
It's either that Butler's defense isn't good enough, or that Harden's move is too strong and no one can stop it. It's estimated that even if Jordan comes, under the current rules, he will be defeated on the defensive end. What's even more irritating is
Yes, there was a ball that Tang Qian just touched Harden slightly while moving, and Harden flipped it over, and then he had to take a free throw.
Maybe Harden himself knows that if he wants to play against a historically strong defensive team like the Lakers, he should not hide his magic skills, but should use them extensively. Only in this way can he get good data and lead the team to win.
possible.
How to prevent Harden from "making a mistake"? I guess everyone around the world wants to know, but under the existing rules, there is basically no solution in the regular season. There is no way to stop it. Harden's use and understanding of the rules is the NBA
Possibly the first person in history.
At halftime, the Rockets were still tied with the Lakers, as if it was a replica of the game five days ago.
After Harden made the free throw, his score in the first half reached 25 points. He glanced at No. 29, as if to say:
Did you see it? Hot, this is the era now, and there is no solution for my trick.
In this era and under this rule, I am invincible.
No one can stop me from playing porcelain, not anyone!
He has a very crazy look in his eyes, but he also has the capital to be so crazy. This era is indeed suitable for him.
Even if you don't like him, you have to admit that he is just doing things within the rules.
Bow and assimilate? Or...
Tang Qian took one look at the score difference and already made up his mind when he walked into the locker room.
He didn't want to do this, but in order to completely suppress the Rockets No. 13, he had to do this...
Otherwise, he is very clear in this era. The Internet era has expanded the concept of the winner and the loser. If you want to promote some of your own theories, first of all, you cannot be a loser. You cannot be a loser.
the identity of the person.
Because in today's general context, talking about losers is equivalent to farting.
Doesn't affect anyone.
If he loses again, it will greatly increase the arrogance of Harden and Harden's style of play. He doesn't want to see the arrogant face of Rockets No. 13 again. So when Tang Qian returned to the center of the field again, he
He took a deep breath, then pulled up a big hat. After the Rockets rushed to the basket this time, he stretched out his hand to reach the lane: "Rajan, give it to me, pass~"
ps: It seems that no one guessed it, hey, hey, what a pity~hehehe~
