Tang Qian wanted the ball as soon as the second half started. Capela was too light for him. What can he do with 240 pounds? No matter how stable you are in the next game, that's all. Not to mention the performance of physical confrontation, Tang Qian is better than anyone else.
I won’t be afraid. If he falls back again, Capela almost staggers backwards. This is absolute power. O’Neal said that in this era, he can eat “bbq” grilled chicken every day. It doesn’t seem fake. And it’s true.
In this era, he does not need to gain weight at all. He can maintain the tonnage of the Magic era, and his body flexibility and physical burden will be greatly reduced.
After getting the ball, the Rockets were very tough, but they didn't help defend or double-team. Anyway, D'Antoni's point is to defend seriously and try your best. There is nothing you can do if you can't guard your opponent. Who in the league can guard him? Yes.
Well, so, if you can't guard against it, it's okay, just find it on the offensive end. Under this guiding ideology, Capela's psychological pressure is not so great, otherwise, he really feels that he can't guard against others. He will be beaten by this
No. 29 scored countless points on his body.
At least 50 points start in a game.
No joke, if you don't help defend, the possibility of this is very high, unless the opponent No. 29 is not in good competitive shape.
However, defense still needs to be defended. He is a strong defensive player. This is also the capital that allows him to gain a foothold in the Rockets and even the league. If this is gone, he will not be far from being eliminated. So D'Antoni's statement is not
Letting Tang Qian score is just to reduce joint defense as much as possible. Individual defense should still be done well. Otherwise, there is no need for him to keep Capela on the court.
Taking a closer look at the entire Rockets team, the one who can cause defensive damage to Lakers No. 29 is Capela.
None of the other players are possible. The Rockets have already established a Magic Ball team, and there are not many tall players.
The Brazilian hunk Nene is not in the best condition right now. He is also older and has had one of his balls removed, so his competitive state is not as good as that of the "Cake King" Capela. If he were replaced, he would be even more beaten by Tang.
The sneak attack failed. So D'Antoni didn't make any substitutions at all, and just used Capela to defend alone. He knew that the Lakers' independent offensive firepower on the outside was not that good, so the Rockets had an absolute advantage on the outside. As long as they didn't let
By activating the entire team inside and outside on the 29th, the Rockets can rely on their advantage on the outside to compete with the Lakers and fight to the end to decide the winner.
This is a very D'Antoni approach, because normally he is thinking about how to defend his opponent and interrupt the state of the opponent's star player. D'Antoni is better, and he simply thought of making money. If he can cash it out, it does not count as a loss.
Don't tell me, his idea made the Rockets fight the Lakers until the end in the first two games of this season. Compared with other teams that were defeated by the Lakers by a big score, the Rockets seem to have a better winning rate.
.
Otherwise, three quarters or even halftime will be wasted, and the winning rate will be 0.
After all, the Rockets don't have as luxurious a lineup as the four-star Warriors, so doing this can be regarded as a new approach.
In addition, the Rockets also have Harden's ability to draw fouls, which is the first in history. The lethality is amazing. If Butler on the opposite side is also involved and gets into foul trouble, the Lakers' independent offensive ability from the outside will drop to the bottom. In that case, the Rockets
This will give you an absolute advantage in terms of firepower on the outside.
The Rockets have a very targeted arrangement before this game, that is, if the situation is unfavorable, Harden will be asked to use his "porcelain" magic skill to kill Butler, so that in the Lakers' starting lineup, there will be one who can play.
The perimeter defense of the Lakers is gone. The Lakers' perimeter defense is extremely strong and there is nothing wrong with it, but when it comes to offense, it's not the same thing.
Kill Butler and the rest, D'Antoni is no exaggeration to say that Harden can stand up to 2 to 3 of them!
Even one person can defeat the entire outside firepower of the Lakers without any pressure!
Even more than some!
This is true, and it’s not D’Antoni’s imagination. Just look at the scoring average. Harden’s scoring average this season is close to 30 points per game. The Lakers’ outside perimeter, except for Butler who has 20+ points, Rondo + Ariza combined.
It's less than 20 points. If the Lakers replace Nick Young, who is a better scorer, they can tie with Harden, but the defense will be greatly weakened. Harden's scoring ability will be strengthened in a different direction, and D'Antoni will be happier.
, don’t forget, they also have a peak Paul.
It doesn't matter if the Lakers replace defensive-type players. The one-on-one ability is tested in singles. Coupled with Harden and Paul's ball-playing ability, the Lakers don't dare to overdo their defense against double teams.
The players on the team continued to play as usual. However, because the Lakers replaced three average offensive players, the outside offense was even weaker. This situation occurred, and that was where the Rockets had a big advantage.
So D'Antoni's idea is that as long as Butler is eliminated, no matter what, the Rockets will begin to tilt the balance of victory. At least at that time, the Lakers' absolute advantage inside can definitely be offset.
If we fight to the end, then everyone has a chance, and D'Antoni is not afraid of taking a gamble.
No, as soon as the second half started, Butler got another foul. This shot was also incredible, and Harden just scored. Butler felt something was wrong as soon as he stretched out his hand, and immediately retracted his arm. I thought this would be okay, but it didn't happen.
Let's meet Harden. The result was very different from what Butler thought. The Rockets' No. 13 still made an "injury" action. Both hands and feet flew up, the basketball rose above his head, and then the referee blew the whistle.
Butler is going crazy this time. Damn it, I didn’t touch him at all. This guy is acting!!!
It's a pity that he was still fouled five times, and he could only see Harden walking to the free throw line and slowly taking free throws.
Harden's ability to use rules is number one in history, but there is another thing that is also number one.
That's his acting skills! This thing is also well-deserved to be the first! Speaking of this, the original time and space Curry had something to say. He just touched Harden's beard. The funny result was that Harden delayed 2 seconds later.
Inertial reaction, the body was immediately "hit", and then he got a chance to foul and free throw.
So when it comes to ability, acting is also a key factor. Even the referees who have to act can't tell.
Butler, an old-school player with tough defense, was really unlucky when he met Harden. He was eaten to death and was extremely frustrated. Well, since Harden's great success, who can compete with him?
Aren't you going to be extremely cautious when you fight?
If you are a little tougher, the other party will start to show off, and you still have to be convinced.
No wonder people say they have to defend Harden with their backhand. This guy's porcelain skills are unparalleled in the world.
Larry Brown of the Lakers thought about it and replaced him with Covington. It can be seen that he is indeed a defensive head coach, and all his thinking inertia is still based on defense. This suddenly made the Rockets even more powerful.
The intensity of singles play, because doing so can disintegrate the Lakers' overall defensive capabilities and make them unable to use their strength.
Singles are singles, just one-on-one, and any overall defensive bonus you have is useless.
This is also the simplest and crudest way of attack.
As for the Rockets, they really have the capital to play like this.
Infinitely misplaced singles, try to find an opponent with an advantage to attack. You also need to pay attention to efficiency in singles.
The Lakers were beaten a little confused, mainly because their perimeter defense was a bit unpreventable, and well... the offensive end was also weak.
Rondo + Ariza + Covington are all good defenders and very good 3D players, but if you want them to attack with the ball, forget it. Can you believe that among these three people, the one with the best offensive ability with the ball is
Is it Rondo?
Rondo's opponent is Paul. Paul is still in an integrated offensive and defensive state, with one defense in the original time and space, so you don't expect Rondo to stand up and contribute much independent firepower. Three functional players are not enough to afford independent offense.
's burden.
Things seem to have gone in the direction D'Antoni expected, and major commentary platforms have begun to discover this problem.
espn live room.
"The Lakers are in danger. The Houston Rockets play as if they are not afraid of any strong team. They have defeated the Warriors. If D'Antoni is in the NCAA, I really want to compete with him." Coach K said so
, He said this from the coach's perspective. McGrady said from the player's perspective: "The biggest mistake the Lakers made tonight was that Butler got into foul trouble, which completely eliminated their outside single points, and the Rockets could take the opportunity to make big moves.
If we counterattack, it depends on what Tyrant Tong can do. I think it will be very difficult."
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"Director Zhang, the current situation is not good for the Lakers. Is there any way to break the situation?"
"With Butler out of the perimeter, the Lakers' internal and external attacks have become unbalanced. It depends on whether Tang Qian can perform amazingly. Otherwise, this game... will be dangerous. It's hard to count on independent offense from the perimeter.
"
Yes, they are all right. Larry Brown is also frowning a little. He has actually arranged this in advance tonight. Some people may have the impression that Larry Brown said before the game that he wanted Bart.
Butler controlled fouls. But now it seems that he has not done this at all. He overestimated Butler's ability to control fouls, or it can be said that he underestimated the ability of Rockets No. 13 to create fouls.
I didn't expect the Rockets to be so difficult to beat, and he, as the head coach, must bear some responsibility.
In fact, Larry Brown is a bit self-critical, because this Rockets team is recognized to be difficult to beat. Even the Universe Yong is not that easy to win in the regular season. There are always a lot of hard and fierce battles. So he should think more about how to win.
Just focus on the ball, instead of just thinking about crushing and suppressing the opponent as before.
The Rockets cannot be suppressed that easily.
Especially in the regular season.
At this time, Tang Qian asked for the ball, and then he turned around and hit Capela hard. Capela tried his best, but he was still a little unable to stop him. The guy opposite was too fierce and brutal. He was a little kid.
In terms of size, he is no match for him. But Capela's fighting spirit and toughness are still very good, which is one of the biggest reasons why he can win D'Antoni's favor.
D'Antoni himself has no defensive team-building ability, so he needs players to have defensive tenacity on the court. Even if the Rockets now have an unlimited defense system to support it, most of them are single defense, but they are not so easy to lose.
Position. Capela has such an advantage, he can hold on all the time, anyway, it is not easy to be defeated.
D'Antoni is already very satisfied with such defensive characteristics.
He knows that the Lakers No. 29 is so powerful that it is impossible for anyone to defend him alone, so he can keep holding on and not be broken by his opponent. Maintaining normal defense throughout the game can always make No. 29 fly away.
Tang Qian's offensive feeling in the first half is actually average. So far, his shooting rate is only 50%, which is not bad for others. Even the inside players are just like this now. Many people still touch 50%.
Less than that. But this is not so good for the Lakers No. 29. It can even be considered a failure.
If Capela can maintain the whole game, there is no doubt that he will be a major contributor to the Rockets tonight.
Tang Qian played with his back. After reaching a position, he deliberately slowed down for a moment, and then without turning his head, he directly picked the basket with his back in the air. This is Zhang Dashuai's stunt that Tang Qian has practiced hard during the offseason, the.finger-roll
, that is, the overlord picks the slide. As soon as he took the ball, Gasol frowned and whispered: "The speed of this ball is not enough, what's going on?"
He and Tang Qian had a lot of confrontations in intra-team games, so they were very aware of No. 29's ability to perform this move. The suddenness is a huge highlight. Because the attack is performed directly from behind, so you don't know it at all.
When will he take action? During the intra-team game, Gasol was once made nervous by Tang Qian's move. Often the latter would just take off with a simple shake.
Even if you watch old videos, you will find that when Chamberlain uses this move, the opponent basically has no time to take off, so Gasol subconsciously thinks that suddenness is the essence of this move. Yes, it was true before, but
In modern basketball, another possibility appears. When Tang Qianqian was practicing this move, he discovered that if the current body hair rules were followed, this move... would be a real foul-making weapon!!!
Because you can hit the opponent's hand with every ball, and you can have huge physical contact. In the past, you were pressing and hiding. In this era? There is no need to hide at all. Chamberlain's balls are now placed close to the defense.
If the opponent's arm goes up, it will be a proper hand and contact. If the opponent does not reach out, then fine, just shoot easily without interference, and the hit rate will be off the charts.
It's just that Tang Qian doesn't like this very much, because he hates porcelain, and this style of play is the new generation of porcelain magic.
His ambition is to change the current atmosphere of the NBA. If he takes the lead in doing this, wouldn't he be the next Harden?
This is something he absolutely refuses.
But against No. 13 of the Rockets, there is no such concern. We know that you are awesome and we can't stop you. Well, let's see who is more vulnerable to fouls. I will put it tonight
You fight until you collapse!
Want to compete with me on a cylinder? I will make you cry tonight!!!
So Tang Qian's delay was intentional. He was really afraid that Capela wouldn't be able to react.
With Gasol watching, Tang Qian took the ball. Capela jumped up immediately when he saw this. Then he saw Tang Qian's long arm stretched out directly, grabbed the basketball firmly with his right hand, and then moved toward Capela.
Pella's arm touched it. Beep beep ~ This is an undoubted foul. No matter from any aspect, it is a thug.
And because Tang Qian was well prepared, and his upper body strength was even more terrifying, his palms were big enough, and he could hold the ball very firmly with one hand, so even though he was beaten, he still shot the ball... into the Rockets' goal.
Inside the basket.
2+1.
Tang Qian missed the free throw at the free throw line. He couldn't actually see anything from the ball. Capela was just a little depressed and didn't take it to heart. The finger-roll, like the sky hook, is occasionally used by people. Although
It's not as standard and lethal as Tang Qian, so it can't be routine, but there are times when inspiration strikes. Capela still feels that he didn't block the ball, which is a bit regretful.
As a result, in the next round, Tang Qian came again, still in the same place, the same position, playing in the low post. After reaching the appropriate position, he started directly. Again, he deliberately slowed down a little to give Capela time to react. As a player
A strong defender will of course block shots when he sees an opportunity, so... another thug, Tang Qian made 1 of 2 free throws.
Capela still didn't feel anything. It wasn't until the next ball when he was fouled again in low post defense that he finally felt something was wrong. Tang Qian made 2 of 2 free throws. That had been 4 times. Tang Qian looked at the card.
Pella knows the number of fouls he has committed.
Rockets Harden also committed a foul and made 2 of 2 free throws.
Tang Qian attacked, still in the low post, still on the right, with his back + the finger-roll half a beat away. Capela paid special attention to this shot and did not wave his hand to block the shot, but he still saw the opponent's long arms and his own.
, perfectly collided together.
OK~, such an obvious foul, what else are you going to say? A foul, and Tang Qian scored the ball, 2+1.
and.one!!!
Capela was like this. He committed 5 fouls all of a sudden, and then had to leave the game to rest in a daze. If he didn't leave the game, he would commit 6 fouls. The Rockets still need him in the back. D'Antoni replaced him in advance to rest. He replaced him.
Nenei will temporarily support the No. 5 position.
Did any situation change after Nene came up? Nothing at all. Tang Qian still played like that, with obvious arm collisions every time, and then watched No. 29 go to the free throw line or 2+1!
4 minutes later, Nene also counted 5 times. He had just been replaced not long ago, and the Rockets immediately called a timeout.
At this moment, someone seemed to realize something. Harden looked at Tang Qian, and Tang Qian looked at him. Although there was no conversation, sparks were already flying.
So do you want to compete with me? Oriental Hot??? Very good, come on!!! I'm still afraid of you!!!
When Tang Qian saw Harden's expression, he knew what this guy was thinking. He didn't hesitate, turned around and walked towards the Lakers substitute.
Because he knows very well that Harden is no match for him in a fight. His success rate is much higher than the latter's. Yes, it's a big jump. Even if you don't jump in the end.
, I can also touch porcelain.
Tonight, I am going to punish all of you who dare to confront me, so that you can taste what it feels like to die in a fight.
See if you feel happy or not.
If you are unhappy, you can continue next time until you dare not use it on us.
Just wait and see, the show is just beginning.
Tang Qian smiled with a chill on his face.
ps: I came home late, and I wrote another big chapter, so it’s a little late~ The handsome overlord’s unique skill of picking pulleys and hitting porcelain, Harden, are you convinced?
Xiao Zi will post the screenshot in the group. Let’s see how easy it was back then to make physical contact and directly create a thug. As long as you have the physical condition of a handsome man, you can basically hit the mark nine times out of ten.
.Unless you don’t reach out at all, not at all, standing still with your hands stretched out is useless, unless you don’t reach out at all.
The cylinder of this move is too easy to be violated by the defender. It is a magical skill, but unfortunately no one can use it, and it has been lost like the sky hook.
People in Dashuai's era were too naive, even if they had such amazing skills, they didn't use them.
