The Bucks lost to the Raptors 100-106. DeRozan performed well and scored 30 points. Antetokounmpo was restricted and made 9 of 24 shots, with a shooting percentage of 37.5%. He admitted that he should be fully responsible for this defeat.
The Bulls once again defeated Boston, the first seed in the Eastern Conference. Will the Eastern Conference seed team be eliminated? The Windy City is about to stage a black eight miracle?
The Rockets defeated the Jazz 99-91. The light bulb duo showed off their power and scored 50 points together to lead the team to victory.
On April 19th, the NBA has scheduled three playoff games to start on this day. The first game is between the Wizards and Hawks, the second game is between Thunder and Spurs, and the third game is between Lakers and Trail Blazers. Again.
As soon as we entered the Staples Center, the home court of the Lakers, we felt the "murderous spirit" coming from Lakers No. 29.
How can you tell this? Not just expressions, just expressions. Almost everyone in the NBA is an expression king.
This is nothing.
It still depends on the action.
When Tang Qianqian was warming up, he kept dunking. The intensity looked a bit scary.
This made the Trail Blazers feel that No. 29 was not easy to mess with tonight. At the same time, everyone in the Lakers team also "whispered":
Look, I said, he is not prepared to be kind in this manner tonight.
Poor Trail Blazers big man, just wish yourself luck.
Amen.
The Trail Blazers' insiders are a little confused. They don't know what the Lakers people are doing when they look at them from time to time. If you want to say it is arrogant, it doesn't look like it. If you want to say it is scared, let alone not wanting, it's more like
Is it...a slight sympathy?
What the hell, sympathy? What kind of airplanes are there?
When I looked at the lineup, I saw it was really awesome. I don’t know if he had tasted the sweetness of the previous game, but Terry Stotts actually played with the same lineup as the previous game. In other words, there is still no
Let’s look at their real insiders. Look at the five players in the starting lineup. Two are in their early 190s, two are in their early 20s, and the tallest one is Noah Vonleh. This is really, okay.
As soon as Tang Qian saw the lineup on the opposite side, he couldn't help but snorted heavily. The cold air made Nick Yang next to him afraid that he would catch a cold. Seeing Tang Qian's expression, Nick.
Yang also knew that the Trail Blazers' interior team would suffer collectively tonight.
You are really capable, tyrant, I am offended by you, aren't you?
Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to you.
The Lakers' lineup is still the same, Tang Qian + Randle + Ariza + Butler + Rondo. Before going on the court, Larry Brown said with a serious face: If you play like the last game again, you will all give up.
I practiced harder after the game until I vomited. If I didn’t vomit, I would never stop! Do you hear me clearly? I’m not joking! I’m not discussing this with you either! If you’re in the same state as in the last game again, you’ll all be with me.
accept punishment!!!!!!
Larry Brown aside, the Lakers are actually a little angry. Even though they won the game, it seems that except for Butler, everyone else has been criticized. Especially the double backcourt.
Rondo's gun exploded, because he did not make the final shot and failed to redeem himself, so he was scored by Lillard for nearly 40 points, which was completely embarrassing. Los Angeles
Fans in Chengdu are very venomous and will leave no room for criticism.
You know how Rondo spent these two days. The fire was so intense that his stomach hurt!
Rondo has been depressed for the past few days. This time he made up his mind to defend well, otherwise he would really let Lillard go to heaven?
Besides, he still has to secure his starting position for the Lakers. He is not just bragging about the "Mad Dog Beverley" behind him. His defensive energy is already better than his own. His defensive skills seem to be... also better than his own.
This season's state is better. So it's really hard to say if I continue to be so pretentious.
Larry Brown also told him alone before the game, if you are beaten by Lillard by about 40 points in this game again, then I'm sorry, Mr. Assist Wang, please sit on the bench in the next game.
, calm down and calm down your mind. Let you know how many people are trying to get the starting No. 1 position for the Lakers.
These words made Rondo "shocked". How could he be like this? He still has to work hard for the next contract.
Stop joking, okay!!!
The game started, and this time it was different from the last time. The Lakers took it more seriously and made detailed arrangements. Although they won the last game, but... winning in such a way, Larry Brown didn't like it.
Look at what he said after the game. It seems funny and humorous, but it actually means that the old man is very dissatisfied:
Winning with a buzzer-beater? Of course it is good to win, but it is better to keep this kind of buzzer-beater to a minimum. I am old and can’t stand this kind of excitement.
He is so old that he can't stand the excitement. This is definitely an excuse. He has been coaching in the professional basketball field for about 50 years. What big storms have he not seen? So what you say that you can't stand the excitement is bullshit. It's nothing more than him.
I want to use this to express my dissatisfaction with the level of victory over the Trail Blazers.
The subtext is, you still want to kill the Blazers, are you all eating shit?
The old man has never had a particularly good temper. His bad temper and tough temper have always been a major characteristic of him.
The layout of the Trail Blazers is still the same, shrinking the inside, interfering with cutting balls, using a small lineup to mainly defend No. 29's passing and receiving, and reducing frontal force. At the same time, the Trail Blazers' head coach Terry Stotts
We also made a screen squeeze setting on the side to prevent the Lakers from cutting from the side. There are two reasons why we only did it on the left side. The first is that the left side of the Lakers was a hot zone for scoring in the last game.
The second one is to defend both sides. The Blazers' defensive system and defensive capabilities simply cannot support it. Therefore, this choice is actually the best.
It looks like Terry Stotts has put in some hard work.
However, the Lakers didn't engage in any forward play with them at all. The situation in the last game is already a thing of the past. They wanted to beat the Blazers to death with their heads! Don't think this is a joke.
, This is the fact. The Trail Blazers are also a bit confused. Didn't you win the last game? Why do you still act like you lost. Is this appropriate?
Regardless of whether you are suitable or not, the Lakers opened fire. Tang Qian didn't show any mercy at all this time. He directly asked for the first ball, turned around and went in with a dunk. This also made the Trail Blazers
Head coach Terry Stotts reminded the players to do a good job of defensive control in the low post. Here when the Trail Blazers attack, they are still doing the same thing, calling pick-and-roll, and then holding the ball with two guns in the backcourt, looking for opportunities and then deciding whether
Attack by yourself or pass the ball to your teammates.
Yes, look at their starting lineup. Apart from McCrum and Lillard, the highest scorer among them is Morris Harkless, who averages 10 points per game. And such a person wants to
It's basically impossible to beat Ariza. If you force yourself to beat Ariza, your shooting percentage will definitely be very worrying. So the Blazers' offense actually starts with two shots.
This season, they rank sixth from the bottom in the league in assists per game, averaging only 21.1 assists per game, which fully reflects this problem. It can be said that among the teams that have entered the playoffs, except for the Thunder, no one is better than them.
There are even fewer. The reason why the Thunder captain is small is because Master West controls everything, and the tactical setting is like this. There are few of them, and they are simply at this level.
They neither have guards like Westbrook, James Harden, Paul Rondo, who have to control the ball, and then allocate everything, nor do they have an operating system that can make the overall game better and better. So watching them play, it is actually simple tactical coordination and dual-gun display.
Most of them. In addition to the substitutes being pretty good, they managed to barely squeeze into the playoffs this year.
With such a tactical team, it's no wonder that Larry Brown feels that winning a game with a buzzer-beater is not something to be happy about.
This game couldn't be that easy. Both Rondo and Butler used their strength from the beginning, pinching McCrum and Lillard hard. In fact, to be honest, these two people are physically stronger than each other.
The opponent must have an advantage. Don't forget that Lillard is a little taller than Rondo, and his wingspan is about 203~204CM. What about Rondo? He is 185CM and has a wingspan. Sorry, my brother is 213CM, which is more than his height of 28CM! So!
Lillard's height is nothing in his eyes.
In addition, he has better flexibility and a lower center of gravity. He was beaten in the last game, which is actually a shame.
Because next season in the history of time and space, Rondo made Lillard cry out of the game.
Butler has a physical advantage over McCollum. Unless his opponent is as explosive as the last game, and can hit top shots no matter what, otherwise, Butler must let him call him "Dad Ji" tonight.
Okay. In this case, you can see the dilemma of the Trail Blazers with two guns in the backcourt from the beginning. McCrum wants to rely on breakthroughs to defeat Butler, which is simply a failure. Butler had not won the game in the last game.
Redemption, he will definitely be sprayed as a dog.
So he was also very angry.
It doesn’t matter if you were beaten to death by a super giant. You are a McCrum, why???
Still scoring 40 points on my head!!! Do you really think I was made of mud???
Tonight, I will give you a full confrontation. If you have the ability, just do the same as the last time, shoot me directly and shoot me to death!!!
If you can't do it, just give me GG tonight!!!
Sure enough, McCollum's magic is gone tonight. He is a guard who averages over 20 points per game. Although he is good at shooting and has good ball-handling skills, you have to ask him to score 40 points per game.
Still facing Jimmy Butler's tough defense, all I can say is that you are dreaming.
Because it's impossible.
He hit the ball continuously at the beginning of tonight's game, which proves that if you can't break in, you can only shoot, but the shooting touch has also lost the magic of the previous game. Butler's defense is not only short-handed, but also defensive pressure and positional awareness are very good.
Okay, it’s rare to lose your position and be scored. So when playing against Butler, you either have a very strong ability to work alone, you can score against the defense, or you can shoot over the top of the pitcher and explode. As for the other things
, don’t expect to score easily.
Daji's defense is really tough.
As for the offensive end, Butler actually followed Larry Brown's instructions to kill without the ball and shoot without the ball. His efficiency is actually so good this season, which is much higher than before. It is because he has slowly found his way now.
He has found the most suitable method and mode of playing next to Tang Qian. That's why this year's various hit rates have reached career highs. Now let him play like this, he quickly got into the role and used this to attack his opponents.
McCrum still has a big problem right now, which is that he is not good at defending without the ball, so he was exploited by Butler in this game.
Besides, Butler's cut without the ball is to open the way with his body, push away McCrum and then catch the ball, which fully amplifies the latter's disadvantage in this aspect.
As for the other Lillard, it seems that the situation is similar. He wanted to attack Rondo alone tonight, but the efficiency was very poor. Rondo also used his footsteps and experience to break through, and he couldn't get rid of it even if he forced his way in.
The latter. Instead, he would be trapped in the Lakers' heavy defense. Lillardelli's coach was a little annoyed. He wanted to make a difficult shot, but what he got in exchange was Rondo's long-arm interference and... bang
~The sound of iron striking.
No, do you really think you are Jordan? So stable?
I'm going to guard you tonight! Let you know the name of my Director Lang, and it's not for nothing!
The two-gun attack was unfavorable at the beginning, so they had to pay attention to defense. In fact, the Trail Blazers did not have many players and tactics. Since the current situation is like this, head coach Terry Stotts took a step back.
, if you want to stop the Lakers' inside scoring, it's just the same as the last game.
A dime a dozen? It’s a dime a dozen, so I’ll let you guys be the same dime, OK?
When Tang Qian saw that the opponent was still defending him in the same mode as in the last game, he suddenly became energetic, his eyes turned slightly red, and he directly tried to hit the ball hard. What is a monster center? Larry Brown just saw the opponent in the last game.
With this defensive intention, he reduced the delivery of shells to the inside. As a result, the outside touch was not very good, and he almost lost. In this game, Tang Qian directly told Rondo, your special girl is... to die.
My ball!!!
We are not afraid of mistakes! As long as they come in and I get it, I will kill them!!!
So this is equivalent to saying, I know you want to defend me like this, but I still want to fight like this, let's see what you can do.
Rondo also nodded. Therefore, although the Lakers made a lot of mistakes in the first quarter, after all, the passing target was taken care of, and the purpose of the passing was too obvious. Even a strong point guard like Rondo could not make it.
It is impossible not to make mistakes. The key is still that, forget about the missed balls, we should look at the balls without mistakes, right?
As long as he got the ball, Tang Qian would turn around and kill him, like a monster, unable to hold back the ball.
How do you pull it? Who pulls it? Noah Vonleh with a tonnage of 245 pounds, Morris Harkless with a tonnage of 210 pounds, or Evan Turner with a tonnage of 216 pounds? In other words, what do you think of Mike Lure?
What can Tom and Lillard do with their small bodies of just over 190cm? There is not even a 250-pound person. When Tang Qian gets the ball, he just hits it to death!
Boom boom~ Just like thunder, the Blazers' basket began to play a continuous rhapsody of smashing the basket.
Performer: Lakers No. 29, Tyrant, Tang Qian.
PS: First update, more to come~~~~~~~~
I didn’t expect the Bucks to be so fierce. It looks like the Bucks will be competing against the Bucks this year?
