Chapter 1550 Don't underestimate people, there are no underdogs in the west
The Rockets and the Lakers fought, and the Rockets were obviously well prepared. They adopted Harden and Paul's strong and weak side play. This has not been used often by the Rockets before. It may not have been well adjusted.
, maybe he deliberately kept a trump card or something like that. Anyway, even if two people were present at the same time, they would fight alone for a while. The same is true for organizing and connecting in series. There are not many cases where they are connected. But now, they seem to have changed.
, the two people began to interact.
This is something that the Lakers did not expect. After all, the Rockets have basically never done this before. How can a chemical reaction between stars occur where one plus one is greater than two? This is a test of the running-in between the head coach and the team. The Heat basically did it before
Of course, if the three people fight separately, the effect will still be there. After all, it is the individual abilities of these three people. One-on-one is basically more successful than failure. But this is not enough. How did they get killed in the first year's finals? That's it.
Because of this style of play, it is very difficult to play against a truly resilient team. Between the stars, there is actually a one plus one or even less than two effect.
So after the failure in the first year, the Heat chose to adjust. Wade retreated to the second line, and Bosh also stepped outside to be the star shooter. James was allowed to take the lead again and control the overall situation. Although it seemed that Wade had sacrificed a lot,
But for the whole team, this will improve the overall strength of the team. This is what is called the James Way connection, high speed, defensive counterattack.
The Rockets had the feeling of Miami's Big Three in the first year, and Paul came to the Rockets after last year's All-Star Game. It was also a similar pattern. The two people controlled and swung separately. One swung the other and basically looked at the offensive end.
It's a joke. At most, you can focus a little, open up the space, and be a fixed threat point. With this kind of play, at most, one plus one equals two.
There can't be more.
Basically, the Rockets have come up with so many tricks in the past, but they still beat the Lakers, taking them by surprise and attacking them unprepared. When the Lakers adapt, they will find countermeasures in these ways. The situation will be different immediately.
In the last matchup of the regular season, the Lakers basically figured out the Rockets' tricks and were no longer at a loss. So in that game, the Lakers were crushing the Rockets. Everyone thought that the Rockets' tricks were finally
It's over. If we enter the playoffs, it won't be too difficult. Just be prepared for their ultimate magic ball explosion.
But in the first quarter tonight, Mike D'Antoni told everyone on the Lakers team one thing, that is... I still have the bottom of the box waiting for you. In the regular season, we don't have all the tricks. In the playoffs, we don't have all the tricks.
, we are not afraid of you.
Also, in the past few years, the Rockets were known as the Hellfire in the original time and space, and they were the only team that almost broke up the universe. That year, they were almost dead, and Harden missed the chain again at a critical moment. Maybe,
It really was a win. According to the actual words of Warriors owner Joe Lacob that year, if they lost to the Rockets in the Western Conference Finals tiebreaker, he would consider dismantling the Tsunami Brothers and let the Golden State Warriors enter a rebuild.
So this Rockets team is really extraordinary.
Don't underestimate him.
Even in the past few years, Warriors fans have said in the forum:
We are in the Western Conference, and only the Rockets are our opponents. The rest are not worth mentioning.
And from a God's perspective, it seems that there is nothing wrong. After destroying the Rockets, the universe is brave, and it is smooth sailing, unstoppable. The finals? It is just a game that costs people's lives. So during this period, every year in the Western Conference
The series between the Warriors and the Rockets was filled with smoke and smoke, and it looked like a lot of fun. Sometimes you even felt that it was more exciting than the finals.
This is the power of the magic ball rocket built by D'Antoni himself.
If they hadn't come across the Universe Yong Era, to be honest, it was very possible that they would have the potential to create a dynasty.
It's a pity... In this era, the Warriors are too bright. Even the Hellfire is still short of breath.
But this does not mean that they are easy to deal with. If you despise them, you will pay the price with blood.
The Lakers had not targeted this style of play before the game, and Harden and Paul were both passing masters. Now, the Lakers were playing in a bit of confusion. Look at this shot, Harden broke through and hit the ground, and Capela couldn't
He cut over to get the ball, and then he didn't attack by himself. Instead, he made a support in the middle and handed it to Ryan Anderson who cut out.
Anderson raised his hand and made a three-pointer. Capela's pick-and-roll was still very active and of good quality. Randall was unable to catch up with the ball in time and was blocked. Looking at his defender, he hit a top-arc three-pointer.
Ball. Anderson is a powerful shooter at the 4th position. In addition, the Rockets have specially set up tactics for him and the pick-and-roll quality is high. Randall played a little tight in the first quarter.
The pick-and-roll is the foundation of this Rockets team. Their ultimate magic ball, except for Harden and Paul, who play the ball by themselves and rely on their personal abilities to operate and operate, is pick-and-roll, pick-and-roll, pick-and-roll, screen, screen, screen.
.The Rockets have completely learned the Warriors' previous routine of a large number of mobile screens.
Coupled with D'Antoni's own design and improvements, combined with the Ultimate Magic Ball, they complement each other.
In terms of offensive training ability, if D'Antoni gives him the right person, he is the best in history. However, the defensive end is too biased, which has caused him to always stop in the Western Conference Finals in the Western Conference. Now the Rockets have found him a famous player.
Defensive assistant coach and Coach Bush, the two of them immediately combined seamlessly. The strength of this team is far beyond imagination. After all, if the universe had not blocked the road, this Rockets team should have become a more dazzling star in this era.
.
In the original time and space, only this Rocket Team almost broke up the Universe Yong, and there was no one else.
Look again, there is another air cut from the right wing. Harden releases the ball in time. Lou Williams, who was traded by Rockets players midway, quickly drops down and catches the ball. Lou Williams has a strong scoring ability.
, so no one dared to ignore him. But he came in as a guise. In fact, after attracting the defender, he quickly passed inside and gave it to the moving "Cake King" Capela.
Capela scored the goal with a low throw.
Don't tell me, Capela's "pie-eating" ability is really good, and he has a good sense of smell, which also makes him a fish in water in the Rockets. Because the Rockets have two passing masters, his "pie-eating" ability
You can also maximize it. After all, you have reached the top five or six in the MVP rankings because of your "pie-eating" ability. This kind of "pie-eating" ability can be considered outstanding.
This is not an ordinary "cake-eating man".
However, the Lakers are also adjusting. After all, this team's defense is still the best in history. Even the Rockets, unless the magic ball touch explodes, don't try to overwhelm them easily. Just beat the game. See Butler's goal
After the shot missed, the Rockets immediately pushed quickly, without stopping the ball or observing, and ran forward first. This is also the style of the German coach, seven seconds or less, it is not a block. Tang Qian himself has also done this
Having played in this system, I have a deep impression of it.
So for this ball, Tang Qian decisively judged the Rockets' offensive intention, gave up the fight for rebounds, and turned around with high-energy counter-running and high-energy retreat. It can even be seen that Butler's ball has just been struck.
In an instant, Lakers No. 29 began to turn around and return to defense. That's why the scene happened now. Lakers No. 29 chased after him and slapped him... and blocked Williams, who was about to go down from the Rockets.
But the ball was not over yet. Not long after, the Rockets made another offensive and defensive transition, directly pushing quickly. Harden's ball showed the passing energy he inspired under the German coach. This season, averaging 11+ assists per game is not a cover.
Yes! If it weren't for Rondo, he should have been the assist leader this season. So it was a long pass in the backcourt, and Capela made the pass very early. This is also one of his advantages in his "sense for eating cakes". As long as there is
Opportunities, not his rebound protection, then he will immediately participate in the team's offensive attack.
Rondo of the Lakers also retreated immediately, but Harden passed the ball well, allowing Capela to directly form a big fight with Rondo during the impact. If Capela hadn't rushed up,
Fortunately, he can still rely on his own defense and long arms to interfere with dribbling and steal, but Capela has already charged, and Rondo is a little at a loss. Tonnage and size are not of the same level. If he is hit by a collision, he will be pushed away.
Lifting his body, he then watched Capela attack with a one-handed chop!
But what Rondo didn't expect was that the next second after he was knocked away, there was another figure rushing towards him at high speed, passing by him. When he looked up, it was No. 29 of the Lakers, Tyrant Don.
Yes, Capela was bound to win with a quick one-handed dunk. At the last moment, No. 29 caught up with him in time and staged the drama of chasing the master. This ball was forced to fly out.
Capella has m.m.p in his heart, how can you cover it up? Have you opened the eyes of God?
Tang Qian doesn’t know whether God’s Eye is turned on or not, but he has played in D’Antoni’s system for several years and has also been the absolute core and main force, so he has studied some details very thoroughly. After all, it was back then.
D'Antoni also boasted that Tang Qian is the most suitable C-position candidate for his tactical system, and there is no other man.
Therefore, it is not surprising that there are some empirical predictions in advance.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in the NBA. Many players have played in this head coach's tactical system and have thoroughly understood it. Then when they face it again, they will be able to grasp the details and predict the offensive routine. The typical example is the Blazers back then.
In the Western Conference finals between the Lakers and the Lakers, Pippen was a person who knew the process of the Zen Master's triangle offensive system. He once caused a lot of trouble to the dynasty Lakers.
But after blocking the ball, Tang Qian was not very happy, because he found that this Rockets team was far from as easy to play as he thought. Compared with last year, the Western Conference teams seemed to be undergoing a major "
"Capacity upgrade". If I treat this year's Western Conference with last year's mentality, big problems are likely to occur.
At this time, the Lakers called a timeout, and Larry Brown needed to make some adjustments and tactical modifications.
