Porzingis is caught in a dilemma. Now whether you shoot or not, if you shoot, the opponent's shooting percentage will be higher than yours. If you keep shooting like this, the team will definitely lose. But now, facing the Lakers, he is basically the only one who can shoot.
There is no defensive pressure, and the Lakers are not that easy to play at other points. The 4th position seems to be the weakest, but unfortunately the Knicks' 4th position is not very good either. Kyle was temporarily replaced.
O'Quinn is a blue-collar guy, averaging 6+ points per game, and only 5+ points in his career. You expect him to break the New York Knicks' game? What are you thinking?
Right now, Porzingis can't do anything without taking a shot, you're empty.
As a result, the psychological pressure will change. As for projection, unless you are really a pure shooter or a marksman, otherwise, a slight change in mentality may be fatal. Even for pure shooters and
When a sharpshooter's mentality explodes, let alone the second-year Porzingis? He actually hesitated before choosing to shoot.
If the basketball misses, the iron is broken.
The decisiveness and concentration in shooting dropped, and the shooting percentage also dropped. Because they could not guard Tang Qian, the pressure increased. The Lakers still slowed down and continued to play in the low post. Tang Qian played again, and Porzingis was directly
He took several steps with his back, and then watched Lakers No. 29 take a step forward and hang the basket with one hand.
"Keep shooting." Tang Qian said this phrase to Porzingis after scoring a goal. Porzingis was even more unstable in shooting on the offensive end. The ball... was too big. The Lakers protected the rebound, but Tang Qian still
Diving, causing a foul, and made 2 of 2 free throws.
We can't play like this. If we continue to play like this, we will definitely lose. We can't guard the opponent's No. 29 singles at all, so they can openly choose to let Porzingis shoot. It looks like a defensive pass, but it is actually a defensive trap. I know.
If the game continues like this, let alone a second-year player like Porzingis, even some people who are famous for their shooting will not be able to stabilize their mood.
Think about it, no matter how high your shooting percentage is, it’s just like that. People can shoot higher than you and pressure you to play. If this continues, you will definitely lose. Can you still maintain a psychological balance? Unless you don’t care about winning.
It doesn't matter if you are just a data brusher. If you don't care about the team losing, Tang Qian is willing to let you score 30-40 points tonight.
The question is...do you dare???
When Tang Qian came here, he looked at Porzingis like a wolf. How dare Porzingis...don't dare. He is still a sophomore, and the boss will have objections if he continues like this.
The reporter said that from the perspective of victory, the head coach would not allow a losing game to continue like this.
Something has to change.
How to change? The first thing is to defend. Otherwise, if you are behind now, you will not be able to guard your opponent, and your scoring will be fake. Here, Jeff Hornacek wants to shrink the inside to reduce the shooting percentage of Lakers No. 29. 2 people
, the normal situation is enough. According to the Lakers' past play style, the Lakers No. 29 should be able to play the ball, and then use the rest of the team to expand the defense.
Here he emphasized an issue of defensive flexibility, which is to ask the team to pay attention to No. 29's ability to play the ball inside.
Well, the arrangement was okay and it was targeted, but he never expected that the 29th would actually...
He still had to fight by himself, one hit and two hits, but the kill was successful. Fortunately, he only made 1 of 2 free throws.
Coming over here, it was still Porzingis, who made a jump shot that was basically unguarded.
Hornacek's idea is that if they are on guard, the Lakers should think about whether it is right to let Porzingis shoot. At that time, the initiative will be transferred to his own hands. At that time, it should be nerve-wracking.
It was Lakers coach Larry Brown. Little did he know that before Larry Brown started to worry, the Lakers made another overbearing impact on the 29th, and then faced two people with a dunk with his hands raised! This goal scored
Got it! 2+1!!!
Tang Qian stood at the free throw line, hit the extra free throw, and said at the same time: "Is two people enough? As for you, keep shooting."
Porzingis also hit the mark with this goal. He hit a 3-pointer. It seemed that his confidence had improved a lot. But not long after he turned around, the Lakers turned around with a back-to-back fight on the 29th. Between him and Kyle O'Quinn
In the double defense, score a hard kill.
He jumped up to block the shot, wanting to defend his dignity, but... not only was his dignity not defended, he was also forcibly slapped in the face with a one-handed face dunk! There was a bang that made his ears numb~
The referee blew the whistle~ Looking at the slow motion, it was indeed a thug~ Tang Qian once again got the chance of and.one.
He said at this time: "Two people are not enough, don't you understand? Do you understand English?"
Bang~ He missed the extra free throw, but it didn't affect anything. After such a ball, Porzingis's mentality was shaken again. The three-pointer almost missed. However, the ball was picked up by Anthony, and Anthony wasted no time.
Kill, Ariza's physical ability in this ball is still not as good as that of Anthony who is already a "fat melon". In addition, the "social melon" has a fierce name and a ferocious expression. This ball was found by Anthony to attack.
Take action.
Anthony is also the kind of person who likes to play hero ball, but unfortunately his ability is not as high as Djokojan.
In addition, talent and self-discipline are not enough, and now it has declined a lot. This ball... the rebound was not even touched.
When the Lakers came over on the 29th, a high-flying block was slapped directly away. He was completely merciless and successfully blocked the shot.
After being blocked as usual, Anthony looked at the blocker with some anger, as if this could vent his dissatisfaction and increase his power and domineering value. In the end, Tang Qian refused to accept this trick and said to him: "I got blocked."
Do you still have the nerve to look at me? Do you feel happy after being covered up?"
You... Anthony wanted to get angry, but No. 29 did not calm down the matter at all. Instead, he added fuel to the fire and said: "Why, you still want to scare me? Okay, come quickly, I will wait for you here. Otherwise,
I can wait for you near the team bus." Tang Qian's words were actually referring to Anthony's previous visit to block Garnett. It also showed that he was not afraid at all.
Fortunately, the referee came quickly, but Anthony still grabbed the ball and came over with the next ball. As expected, he was still like this... cute and stupid.
Then he was forcefully slapped on the floor of the Lakers' penalty area by Tang Qian.
He bared his teeth and grinned, it hurt so much.
Do you think it's over? It's not over. When Tang Qian joined the team's fast break, he actually stepped between Anthony's legs. At this time, the entire Big Apple City was boiling because of this... like
Iverson's jump was amazing. He had a bloody hat and gained the upper hand in the confrontation. Then he only crossed his legs, not his head. It felt just right.
Anthony exploded immediately and rushed over to push Tang Qian, but Tang Qian was frightened to death.
He actually reacted. After the Lakers scored the goal, he turned around and grabbed Anthony with both hands. His legs were suspended in the air. With the cold and chilling voice, Anthony suddenly felt
The body is cold.
"I said... you still think it was back then? I can kill you with just one hand if you are like this."
"If you don't accept it, let's fight in the iron cage. Do you dare? I'm a social idiot? Or will you attack me from behind?"
Anthony was stunned because he seemed to see... blood red in the other person's eyes.
What kind of look is this? Is he a beast? Is he a beast in human skin? This look... doesn't look like a human being. It doesn't look like a human being.
All of a sudden, the momentum completely disappeared and hit rock bottom.
Of course, the referee came over quickly. Fortunately, there was no real fight. They just received a technical foul from each of them, which was considered a warning. Otherwise, there is still such a long time in the game, and the top player has been sent off, so what are you watching?
?Tang Qian put down Anthony, then smiled and said: "Play hard, don't fight, don't seek death."
…
The Knicks finally launched a triangle offensive system. Anthony got an assist, but he had no way to pass the ball. It can only be regarded as a blind cat hitting a dead mouse. The Knicks adopted a direct three-person contraction inside.
Tang Qian attracted a double attack from the bottom line and then quickly released the ball. Then... he immediately wanted the ball, passed it back, took advantage of his unpreparedness, broke through the defense line, and succeeded in a split dunk.
"Your defense is really bad, really bad. Not convinced? If not convinced, just guard me. Don't use your eyes, they can't help you."
The Knicks Porzingis passed the ball out of the back, and Anthony had a chance to shoot and hit the ball.
"You still want to take revenge on me? In the next life, fat melon, you're done." After Tang Qian got the basketball, he spat, and then ignored Anthony and went to join the attack. The Lakers' corner pick-and-roll support,
Ariza caught the ball and made a small hook. The ball should have gone in, but it didn't. Ariza clapped his hands with some annoyance.
Then I saw Tang Qian jump up, surpassing everyone else's height, tip the ball in with one hand, and score again.
The game is already leading by more than ten points. If the Knicks don't make any improvement, the game will enter garbage time at halftime tonight. Unless they play particularly well in garbage time, they will have a chance to restore suspense to the game. But it is very difficult.
It's a pity that the Lakers' bench is not that easy to play. The Warriors are not even good, let alone the Knicks.
Against such a bad team, as long as it is garbage time and the 20-point advantage is guaranteed, it will be difficult for the Lakers' substitute players to allow the Knicks to find opportunities and seize the loopholes.
So the Knicks' chances are running out tonight.
I tried several tactics, but couldn't get them to work. The Lakers' ability to defend the ball with tactical balls has been recognized by the league as amazing. Even the Warriors have difficulty using tactical balls to take advantage. For example, if you want to use this high-post tactic, ato
.rop, that is, the essence of this tactic is that the shooter moves around and then turns into a covering wall during the air cut. Of course, because the shooter's size is limited, the wall is not solid enough and can be easily broken, but suddenly
If you do this, you can catch them by surprise and take them off guard. It can be regarded as a sharp and sudden tactic.
But the Lakers still blocked this tactic perfectly, and it was useless for Anthony to finally play a tactical cover. This made our Anthony even more angry, and he began to ignore any tactical instructions and come directly. This, too
One of Anthony's playing habits. It was effective when he was at his peak, because his personal ability is really good, even if it is not as good as Djokojan, it is not bad. But now he still does it... then
It's your own fault.
He cut into the penalty area and was slapped away by Tang Qian.
There was a direct three-way threat, but due to interference and reduced personal ability, he was directly beaten.
Even if head coach Jeff Hornacek was giving orders and yelling from the sidelines, it was of no use.
For example, this ball should have been a tactical ball after a timeout. It was launched from a high position. He and another forward cut the flanks, and then chose to throw a sudden pass according to the situation. If the first wave does not work, he can also pass the ball to the outside to clear the ball.
In the middle, let Rose, who is at the top of the arc, engage in a one-on-one duel. This is a relatively complete tactic. If it doesn't work like this immediately, there is still a backhand. Unfortunately, Anthony is not obedient here and just forces a low back to get the ball.
, and then asked the team to open the wing for him to play singles at a 45-degree angle.
This left Hornacek on one side speechless. This is enough for a star who doesn't listen to orders.
Okay, if you have to hit the key point, that’s fine.
I didn't say anything, which means you are stupid, right? But you... what the hell are you doing all the time to demonstrate?
When ~ three threats + test step + dry pull, then, strike.
Anthony's season has also been one of self-destruction, causing New Yorkers to gradually lose confidence and patience in him.
When Tang Qian passed by Anthony, he said a simple but heart-wrenching truth: "You are finished."
This statement has many meanings, and it all depends on how Anthony understands it. Anyway, starting from here, Anthony has officially started to downgrade in the NBA. He is no longer the scoring leader Anthony. And Anthony, who does not have the league's top scoring ability, is still
What's going on? He may not even notice it now, but in fact, it's going to be gone... soon.
Next came Tang Qian's performance time. He attacked continuously and shined in the low post. In the first half, he directly scored 5 fouls on the super rookie Porzingis who had high hopes on the opposite side. The same was true for another insider O'Quinn, who also had 5 fouls.
.Although it is not all because of Tang Qian, most of it is because of him. The low-level killer began to slowly reveal his true colors.
Everyone gradually discovered, oh, it turns out that this guy actually... didn't really exert his strength at all in his previous schedule.
Tang Qian scored 39 points in the game and had another triple-double. He played for 28 minutes. His efficiency was staggering.
As for Anthony, although he also scored 20 points, he took 30 shots. This kind of efficiency made his own people in New York begin to mercilessly bombard him, saying that he was not worthy of being a team leader. He and James
, it’s no longer on the same level for a long time. It’s actually quite ruthless to say, but it’s true.
Anthony was immediately angry and denounced the media on the spot, but he was far from Tang Qian, because again, in competitive sports, the winner is king, and the dish is the original sin. You are the winner, you play well, you
No matter how you fight, there will always be people who will support you, speak for you and serve as your mouthpiece, but if you don't play well and lose, then I'm sorry, if you do this, you are just preparing to be "pierced by thousands of arrows" by the media.
These people are not vegetarians.
Even for one's own people, it is impossible to be so generous and tolerant, not to mention... you lost.
As for Tang Qian, he said directly after the game:
I would like to ask Mr. Abbott whether the data tonight is enough?
They are both angry, but their reactions to the outside world are completely different.
ps: The first update, there will still be more updates today~Thank you to China Mid-term League Leader and Quiet Honor for the big reward~Thank you~
