Chapter 1552 Touch the head and kill the superstar time
Killing by touching the head... This is what Paul dislikes the most.
He once had a classic saying: I don’t have much hair, so I’m not prepared to be touched casually.
This is really... a lot of nonsense!
Of course, this is all an excuse, because in the NBA, touching the head is a very common move. It is basically the same as patting the butt, and it is a sign of friendship. It does not have the same meaning as in ordinary life. As a result, Pau Gasol touched
After grabbing Chris Paul's head, the latter was furious and had to take it back. This incident caused an uproar at the time.
He even said after the game, I don't allow my son to touch my head!
Gasol even publicly apologized for this incident, but to be honest...Paul, you are quite dirty when you play. Why don't you reflect on yourself? Tang Qian was not prepared to do this before, but Paul twice
He was a bit too defensive. Especially the second time, Tang Qian felt that his attack was not as heavy as usual, so he was not angry at all. This was not the behavior of a useless person. Tang Qian had always been very tolerant of this, and he did not reject confrontation.
of.
However, this does not mean that he has no objections at all. Paul clearly went too far just now. When he jumped up to hug someone, he rubbed his cheek. Although it was not much, it was enough to make him feel angry. Tang Qian knew that Paul was like this
He wanted to establish his authority, and through this tough foul, he told himself that he was not someone to be bullied. But...
You are not easy to bully, am I?
So without saying a word, Tang Qian walked over and hit him with a slap on the head. Then when he went to the free throw line, he winked at Pau Gasol on the bench, which made Gasol understand immediately.
This is also the team boss trying to "revenge" himself.
Paul was angry. This was the thing he couldn't bear the most. He wanted to argue with him and get back like he did with Gasol, but Tang Qian didn't let him go at all. He opened Paul's hand and said, "You
Just remember, I don’t like people touching my head either.”
"If you touch it, I will become more and more handsome. I am already handsome enough. I don't need any more. If I do more, I will be very troubled."
"You..." Paul was stunned for a moment, and then got angry. He has never seen such a shameless person. He is getting more and more handsome. If he touches his head, he will become more and more handsome. Why didn't you say that if he touches his head, he will become smaller?
Tang Qian is getting longer and longer? You are really capable!
Tang Qian didn't care what Paul thought, he gently took Paul's hand away, and at the same time pressed him directly into the air with brute force, saying: "I don't like excessive physical contact with men, there must be some, or...
True friends and good brothers, or..."
"The Lord who wants to be spanked."
"I guess you're not my friend and brother, right? You don't want to be beaten, right? You don't have many hairy children's boots? Do you think I'm right?"
"Forget it, hot, don't be like this, this is a basketball court." As soon as they saw that the situation was not good, the Rockets people came over immediately, and the Lakers people were even more frightened, fearing that Tang Qian would get angry and violent at this time.
Beating up Paul would be a disaster. It doesn't matter whether Paul lives or dies. It doesn't matter whether he has a bruised face or a bruised face. The main thing is that if Tang Qian is suspended, it will be troublesome.
So you can see a situation. Whenever the Lakers have some "signs of something wrong" on the 29th, it is not the opponents who are more nervous and anxious, but the Lakers' own players. Including the head coach, they all have cold sweats on their faces.
After all, this guy has never gone on a killing spree in the playoffs, so don't mess around.
Larry Brown was relieved when he saw that the situation was calmed down. The disadvantage of being the head coach of the Lakers is that he often gets nervous because No. 29 is too tough.
If Tang Qian is injured for the current Lakers team, they will basically be out of contention for the championship. How can this work? Larry Brown still has his own dream of defending the title.
Seeing that Paul was still mumbling after being pulled away, Tang Qian shouted directly to him: "By the way, I forgot to tell you, you should wash your hair, you have a lot of dandruff on your head.
It’s really not good, you have to be clean.”
"You!!!" Paul pretended to go over and "fight the enemy bravely". In fact, he just saw that his teammates would pull him away, so he dared to be so "arrogant and domineering". Otherwise, he would be really awesome. Just now
Let's do it. Although the players on the Rockets kept comforting Chris Paul, someone was muttering in their hearts:
Okay, it's almost done. Why don't you just pretend? It's very tiring for us to cooperate with you, okay?
They won’t give us more salary, increase our salary, right?
That's almost enough. We all know that if I really want you to pass, you will definitely... be knocked out with one punch!
The tyrant's fist does not have eyes, so your acting is enough, don't go too far.
If Paul knew that his teammates thought so, he would definitely scold her directly.
What do you have to be afraid of, a bunch of cowards? We just roar and pretend, but we don’t really do anything. What are you afraid of? You are really worthless!!! What a group of guys who really follow their heart!!!
Yes, yes, we all follow our hearts, but you are the one who doesn’t.
In this little episode, the game still has to continue. Tang Qian continued to execute the extra penalty but...he missed the extra penalty. This also made Paul think secretly: I deserve it. Who asked you to touch my head? This is
retribution!
Tang Qian saw Paul's eyes, but was unmoved at all and retreated. In this round of confrontation, he obviously took a big advantage. This was enough. And because of the head-touching incident, he also somewhat angered Paul. As
It's not a good thing for a point guard to be overly emotional.
As expected, Paul chose to play the ball himself after a pick-and-roll. He cut in at a misplaced position, and then faced Randall with a throw.
Small but big, he is also one of the league's first-generation generals. Even before Curry, he was the spokesperson. As soon as he shot this ball, he felt... stable. It just earned himself a little face.
Pa~~~
But the voice in the next second made Paul a little confused. What's going on? Blocked, blocked the shot?
Is this sound a block? Yes, it is a block. Tang Qian expected that Paul would do this and kept staring at him. Moreover, Paul cut the ball too deep, so he gave the Lakers a chance on the 29th. Tang Qian looked
When Paul came in, he threw away his defender and rushed over, then slapped him and flew out from Randall's side, blocking Paul's goal and out of the game.
If you play well, you will definitely have to talk coolly. Paul is also the king of high-level statistics of a generation. He is a star at the No. 1 position and deserves to be criticized by Tang Qian. If he were an unknown person, he would not bother to talk nonsense. Just like
It's Jordan and Kobe, a small role player. He doesn't even bother to talk trash. Only big-name stars are qualified to bear it.
"Have you been touched by me and your brain has been wiped out?"
Paul was furious. As a point guard, what he is most proud of is his brain. Now that the other party said this, it was clearly...
But he can't beat this guy. This guy is not Gasol. If he is really bad, he will be disabled. It's not like he has never done such things. In fact, there are quite a few. Just ask the Nets
Lopez, you ask Green back then, and even a little further back there were the Nuggets xxx and his likes, and Howard... This guy is definitely a violent person with a full track record of misdeeds.
He doesn't want to lose the battle and be beaten live across the United States. It will probably be a popular video on the Internet for many years.
In fact, Paul has watched the video of Howard being bullied by Tang Qian in the national live broadcast many times, and it was very enjoyable, but...if the man in the background was replaced by himself, then forget it. Paul measured the huge power gap and decided
For the time being, "let Tang Qian go".
The two sides started to compete, and the substitute time was also inextricable. The Lakers' substitute lineup was gorgeous, integrating offense and defense, both internally and externally. The Warriors' substitute lineup felt like it was peeling off when they encountered it. But the Rockets, because
There are two passing masters here, and they are evenly matched with the Lakers. This is the power of the passing master. He can connect the entire team with his own strength and make the role players become chess pieces in his hands. Super power
Explode and confront the enemy as a whole.
The Lakers can't do this. Rondo goes to rest. Beverley is a good 3D player, but he can organize and connect, which is definitely not his strong point. He averaged 3.5 assists per game in his career, and that's the case this season, so he can't
Like Rondo, who takes on this heavy burden, his ability in this area is completely outshone by his opponent's.
To be honest, it's really foul to have two passing masters in hand. No wonder the Warriors had a headache for the Rockets back then, and their substitute lineup was also full of offensive power. In this period, the Lakers' lineup on paper is obviously better, but on the contrary
Lost to the opponent. Paul led the team, conducted a lot of conduct, fired the magic ball, and swallowed up the lead established by the Lakers' main force in just a few strokes.
At this time, Tang Qian applied to play early. Anyway, he basically has no major physical problems now and there is no pressure. Once he came up, he stabilized the situation and interrupted the Rockets' wave with continuous inside kills.
Magic ball climax.
At the end of the second quarter, Paul also played a very beautiful no., which is to pass the ball without looking at the person. The ball was directly inserted into the hands of Gordon who was following up on the other side. Gordon took a shot to attack the basket. It was indeed very beautiful.
The pass showed Paul's extremely solid basic skills, but he was still defended by the huge defensive area of No. 29. Gordon's attack was blocked and he was unable to shoot in. The near-basket attack failed. The Lakers got the rebound and went up.
Halftime is over.
The Lakers and Rockets tied at 45-46, but the other side was leading by one point.
The Rockets' score is a bit high for the Lakers, and also a bit low for themselves.
They are a team that averages more than 115 points per game. Such half-time points are too few and are not their season style.
The second half restarted, both sides made certain adjustments, but the opponent was still running and gunning. The Lakers immediately retreated and seemed to have anticipated the opponent's opening plan. The defense was precise and sharp. The two sides fought back and forth for several rounds, but they were all
It's a bit weak, and the iron is hitting hard, and this time is the so-called "tactical failure time".
"Tactical failure time" occurs in the regular season, but compared to the playoffs, it is far behind.
The reason why the playoffs are said to be more focused on star players and the head coach's ad hoc adjustments is because "tactical failure time" will occur more frequently. This is because the intensity of the game and the scale of the game become larger. The cause and effect are not in conflict.
And at this time, you still want to use tactical ball to make a comeback. Unless you can reach the level of the 2014 Spurs, otherwise, superstar ball is safer. The team metaphysics of the 2014 Spurs are not so easy to learn.
of.
Even they themselves find it difficult to repeat it several times.
In this case, star tactics, or superstar tactics, will become the main decision point.
Coming up again, the two sides really started to enter star time, because this is the NBA's trump card experience for so many years. It is the simplest and most effective way to deal with "tactical failure time". Tang Qian broke in, the opponent surrounded him, and caused a foul. 2 on the free throw line.
2 free throws.
Harden dribbled the ball and succeeded with a European step, but Butler was deceived by Harden's rhythm.
Tang Qian came again. Even though he was being pestered, he still forced himself to get the ball. After cutting in and pushing away his body, he got space to shoot and hit the net with a small hook with his right hand. Harden dribbled the ball, stepped back and quickly succeeded in a three-pointer. This move
Harden has always been very strong and very accurate. Some people have even calculated that Harden's step-back three-pointers are more accurate than his normal three-pointers. But no one may know now that Harden can go further with this move.
Evolved and eventually became one of his super trump cards.
But not now.
Butler was a little too nervous to defend Harden because he had suffered too much from Harden before.
For a "porcelain king" like Harden, what he is least afraid of is a person with a tough defensive style, because the latter's defensive style determines it and is easy for him to use "porcelain tricks". He suffered too much before.
Butler, who has many players, is also a little mentally sensitive now. For an attacker of Harden's level, this is an opportunity and this is an opening.
In any case, he is a quasi-super scorer. He is one step away from reaching the realm of a super scorer. That realm cannot be easily stopped by one person. Otherwise, what kind of super scorer is he called? Harden is now, because of "the magic of touching porcelain"
, it is also intimidating and difficult to defend him with all your strength.
Because the harder you work, the easier it is for him to win free throws and cause damage.
Yao Ming also said in the live broadcast room:
Now is the star's time. Both sides are not very open now, so it's up to the star to take responsibility.
Even if Harden plays, Paul will also come, and they are not the traditional one-on-one, they are mismatched screen pick-and-rolls, and then switch to their most advantageous point to conduct mismatched one-on-one. This is also D'Antoni's
It has been carried forward, and like the Warriors' mobile screen, it will become one of the styles of play that is imitated and learned throughout the league in the future.
For the Lakers, fortunately, Butler also stepped up. With his scoring ability and key toughness, Daji is not defeated by Paul. Unless Paul breaks out, the two of them are on the same level in this regard. The two sides are in a stalemate, and no one can win against the other.
To be honest, when the offensive rules are becoming more and more favorable, it is actually very disadvantageous to rely solely on defense to win.
The so-called generation of versions and gods is not just talk. If the rules are not consistent, it will really be greatly weakened.
Fortunately, the opponent's magic ball was not particularly good tonight, and the Lakers were able to hold down this aspect of their opponent's game.
How to defeat Paul + Harden is the same as how the opponent wants to contain Tang Qian + Butler. Both sides are conducting rapid analysis and various debugging.
There weren't too many weird scenes in this game, it was just that the traditional NBA style couldn't collide with the traditional style of play.
The team is playing smoothly, the stars are playing in a stalemate, and the score difference has been biting. This test between the two sides has also come to the end.
After this game is over, both sides will definitely make adjustments and refocus to varying degrees.
