Chapter 1655 The tyrant teaches you how to play basketball
Yes, yes, the Pelicans' lineup is really good. They did have a good start at the beginning of this season. After all, it is the combination of two data kings. This is the current No. 1 power forward + No. 1 power forward.
The combination of two centers. This really seems to be full of financial strength. Together, the two of them, Davis averaged about 28+12+2+2+1 per game last season, and Cousins 27+11+5+1.
+1 number. There is nothing wrong with both offense and defense, and the invincible inside combination. You have to know that from a data point of view, ESPN likes to play with data. The data says this: Since the beginning of the new century, inside players have eliminated Tang
Hidden, there are only 14 games with more than 50 points scored in a single game. A total of 10 people. Then Cousins and Davis each scored 2 times. And they all happened in the past few years. Think about it, such a combination
, is not terrible. There is no problem in blowing it up. Combined with the data, it is indeed the top in history. It is estimated that there have been few such powerful insider combinations in history.
To put it simply, ESPN Brian Windhus only wrote one sentence before the game started: averaging 55+24+7+3+2 per game!
It seems very inexplicable, but it actually shows how powerful this combination is.
This combination is actually quite powerful, but the head coach of the Pelicans... just can't do it.
How to knead superstars together is a science. At least before James's all-inclusive style of play begins, this is something that the head coach should consider. But although Alvin Gentry has coached for more than 15 years,
It’s been 20 years, but the winning rate in the regular season is only over 40%. The last time the winning rate was high, it was D’Antoni’s team who followed the same pattern. So the performance is not bad. The rest of the winning rate is quite dismal. The playoffs are over.
He has only entered twice so far. Can this kind of coach control such a unique combination in history?
Nonsense.
So if you watch the Pelicans' game, you will know that the two people have no chemical reaction at all, they just work on their own. This further illustrates the incompetence of head coach Alvin Gentry.
Both of them are new era insiders, both have baskets, and both have the ability to support, but they still can't play at a high level. Really, no matter how good the card is for you, that's it. The high ball touch rate of the two,
This is the evidence, they are all top five in the league. This is an important basis for whether a big man can be used as a high-position support point.
At the same time, both of them are in the top ten in the league in post-up play. Although it is a new era, they are still the masters of post-up play in the league in this era.
Do you think it’s not comprehensive? Well, let me tell you another data set. The pick-and-roll scoring data of the two players ranks among the top six in the league!
It is simply a double inside combination with no blind spots, offensive and defensive support, and proficient in everything.
Alvin Gentry is also on the back. If this team can have a reliable passing and field control master, the situation will be different. Unfortunately, there is nothing. The Pelicans only have one Holiday to use. If
If Rondo is let go, the combined combat effectiveness of these two people will be much stronger than now. In the original time and space, Rondo was the head coach, so that the Pelicans can show their strength in the playoffs. This even caused some trouble for the universe. This
Or their wings are not good, which is too slow. And Cousins is not here. If Cousins is still there, and Rondo is commanding the overall situation, who knows whether they will be against the universe. Unfortunately, this team does not have one now.
They have more Ron, so there's nothing to be afraid of. Their perimeter can provide too little support to the Twin Towers.
In fact, the Pelicans only have 48 wins this season, ranking 6th to 7th in the Western Conference at the original time and space. They are in the lower zone and have no home field advantage.
So it proves that these two people only look good in statistics, but their chemical reaction is extremely poor. At the same time... the two people have one thing in common, that is, they don’t know how to lead the team to win. They are good players if they use statistics.
, but the ability to lead a team to win games, the two of them combined are not as good as Duncan in his rookie year. Far from it.
There is a statistic that really slaps the faces of these ESPN pundits. With the twin towers in place and playing together, the Pelicans would have 27 wins and 20 losses. If Kao was out and injured, the Pelicans would have 21 wins and 14 losses.
What do you mean? Look at the winning rate, do you feel anything? Yes, yes, the fact is so cruel. Whether he is here or not, the Pelicans' record basically has no impact. They are all around 70%. This,
Isn’t it embarrassing?
The previous winning streak at the beginning was just because everyone was frightened by the name of "the strongest inside team in history", and then played a little nervously. When the alliance adapts, they will be given a blow to the confident ones. Okay,
In this time and space, it’s up to me, the Los Angeles Lakers, to strike the blow. Let your big bubble of so-called “the strongest inside combination in history” be burst.
Of course, Tang Qian was prepared for a tough battle inside at the beginning. After all, the data of these two people combined is really shocking. 55+24+7+3+2! Or is it average per game? What is this concept?
It's too exaggerated! Tang Qian couldn't help but be a little more careful. But once the fight started, the data was all fake. Tang Qian would feel the true power of the combination once he experienced it.
After all, the lineup on paper is just on paper, and basketball is not as simple as a simple stack of superstars.
Otherwise, Cole is still awesome. Do you think that just by joining the stars, he will be awesome? No one who can create a dynasty and become a dynasty coach is simple. Just how to deal with the court matching and coordination of these giants?
His style of play is enough to make an average head coach scratch his head. Look at the head coach of the Pelicans, he is a typical example.
Negative example.
His ability is not too bad, he still has some skills, but he is really confused and at a loss as to how to face such a multi-giant team. This team is really funny, no one seems to know
They play as a whole. Stars need it, but stars also serve the whole. Tang Qian had a fight with them in the first quarter, and basically no one took advantage. However, facing Cousin
Seeing Si's provocative eyes and Davis's expression, Tang Qian immediately understood that these two people... really didn't know how to play.
No, that’s not a good thing to say, it should be... I really can’t win.
The Pelicans are now the representative of a few blind plays this season. Without Rondo to guide them, they can only rely on these two people for output. And their wings are a mess. And Cousins and Davis do not have them.
Developing a particularly good team tacit understanding and chemical reaction, Tang Qian suddenly knew how to beat these two people.
It's really, really stupid.
"Mr. Brown, in the second quarter, let Paul come in and provide support in the high post. I will provide support in the low post. I will replace him with someone who has good touch on the outside. Just shoot well. Yes, sir, you are right. I want this quarter.
Solve the game. These two idiots are really stupid. Representatives of the fourth and fifth positions in the new era? Haha, someone should teach them how to play in order to win."
"If no one has taught me, I will teach them."
…
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"Oh, we can see that the Lakers changed to the lineup of Tang Qian + Gasol + Butler + Covington + Deron."
"Rondo played almost the entire first quarter. It's okay to let him rest now. Rondo didn't feel very good tonight either."
"Is this Twin Towers VS Twin Towers??? It's so exciting."
T.N.T live broadcast across the United States.
"The Lakers replaced Gasol. Is this going to be a tough inside matchup between the Twin Towers?"
"But I don't think the Lakers' lineup has any overwhelming advantage. Gasol couldn't be compared with either of these two people at his peak."
Yes, in terms of statistics, Gasol's best career is 20.8+9.8, and around 21+7.5 in the playoffs. This data is naturally compared with Davis and Cousins' 278 points and a dozen rebounds.
It's incomparable. With his age, many things will definitely decline, including attack and defense. This is irreversible. However, the Lakers did not replace him to do these head-on things.
Before going on the field, Tang Qian said to him: "You don't need to think so much. We mainly focus on inside support and organization. Then..." He patted Pau Gasol on the shoulder and said: "Teach these stupid young people
, how to play inside to lead the team to win."
"Tyrant, it's useless if you replace him with Gasol. How old is Gasol in 1980? Don't make us laugh, okay!" After Cousins said, Davis also said: "Tonight we
I can’t stand it anymore, you are very strong, and we admit that we are no match for you one-on-one, but in basketball, he cannot solve the problem alone."
"Haha, just in time, I want to tell you about this." Tang Qian also said: "It's not like two people are playing in the same team, they are a combination."
"What the hell? Don't talk nonsense to me! You can't beat us tonight!!! The two of us can score enough to suppress you!!!" Cousins roared. "Yes, so what if you score more than me?
What? Can you... win?"
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"The Lakers gave the ball to Tang Qian. Tang Qian made a back movement, which immediately attracted the Pelicans defenders to come over and help defend. Because he didn't help defend, no one could stop him. No matter it was Cousins or Day.
Even Weiss couldn't do it. He turned around? No, he didn't completely cut in. He stopped and then released the ball. The basketball went to Gasol's hands near the free throw line. Gasol didn't stop the ball when it reached his hands, and the basketball flew directly to
The three-point line in the bottom corner. The Pelicans players came to cover and were blocked. Tang Qian made a beautiful low ball screen! The quality was extremely high! The Pelicans couldn't get past it! The outside three-pointer
, big gap, Covington, hit!!!”
"The Pelicans still attacked Cousins. This ball missed. The Lakers protected the rebound. As long as Tang Qian was not pulled out, it was difficult for them to get low rebounds. This is a huge advantage for the Lakers.
Advantage. Even if the Pelicans have two big men inside, they can't change this thing. The Lakers gave Tang Qian, and Tang Qian went directly to the low post to support him with one hand and long arms. This move is really beautiful, taking full advantage of his wingspan and ball control.
The team's control over the movement without the ball. The ball passed by one person and was not passed to him. The second one was given to him and it was a layup! Beautiful!"
"When he was passing hands, he also had a small body that was not easily noticed to cover his body delays. This is ability and consciousness."
"The Pelicans hit a mid-range shot."
"Gasol of the Lakers supported him from the high post, and Deron cut in. Davis wanted to cover up, but was directly blocked by Tang Qian. The off-ball screen was very solid. Deron scored an easy layup."
"The Lakers took a three-point shot from the outside and made a big open shot."
"Lakers Tang Qian passed the ball low to Gasol, and Gasol took a shot directly near the free throw line and hit!"
"The Pelicans have been thrown around, and their defense has begun to be gradually led away by the Lakers. This has also affected their offensive end. Only two people are scoring, which greatly affects the enthusiasm of the rest of the team.
The Pelicans also want to learn the Lakers' current style of play, but unfortunately, their positioning is still too weak."
T.N.T live broadcast across the United States.
"Look at this, look at this, you are basically teaching Davis and Covington a lesson. Tell them that we can easily defeat you without scoring by ourselves."
"This is the biggest difference between Cousins and Davis compared to the Tyrants and Gasol. The data is good, but their overall impact on the team is still too weak."
"So he is the leader of the team that won two consecutive championships. These two people have basically not entered the playoffs several times. Cousins 0 times and Davis 1 time. Look at Davis's playoff data.
,31+11+2+3+1, isn’t it good-looking? Isn’t it comprehensive? No, it’s already very good. A great player like Tim Duncan, he has never had such a high score in the playoffs in his life.
We scored evenly. But so what? We can’t win.”
“What’s the use of data that can’t win games?”
"That's why I said that until they prove themselves in the playoffs, they are just pseudo-superstars. I still insist on this view."
Cousins' problem was also completely exposed by the Lakers' team-wide coordinated attack. He is not an insider like Davis. Although he is a kaleidoscope on the offensive end and can do everything, on the defensive end... I'm sorry. Never.
They are not on the same level. Larry Brown also saw this problem and directly asked the Lakers to start moving the ball continuously in a wide range, just to hit Cousins and bully him...it was impossible to defend him.
Cousins simply can't withstand such a large tonnage. Even though he has lost weight during the offseason, it is still too big. He can't afford it. He actually didn't have this problem when he was at Kentucky. Why did he come to the NBA?
Yes? It’s simple. The NCAA’s three-point line is shorter, and the range to expand the defense is smaller. In addition, the players’ personal abilities are not as good as NBA players. This has caused Cousins to become a player in the small ball era.
...the defense is flawed.
Cousins is also annoyed and wants to try his best to expand the defense, but the Lakers still have a way to do it. Even if they get angry and try to make up for it and defend well... it's useless. The Lakers now have two inside players.
There is also Deron on the outside as a passing master. The others are not just for show. The ball's transferability and space tearing are too good. This ball is a typical example. When Cousins wanted to go outside, he couldn't.
When he went out, the Lakers immediately launched a large number of off-ball screens, which made Cousins neither advance nor retreat. He was "nailed" in the middle of the court and hesitated.
It makes people laugh endlessly.
There is a big problem here. Cousins is not good at protecting the basket, and the Pelicans as a whole do not have a good defensive system to help him rotate. In this way, he will be stuck by the Lakers' passes, advancing and retreating.
No.
He didn't go out from the three-point line in time, and he didn't return to the basket in time to protect the basket. He suddenly became a big defensive sieve.
Larry Brown just did this first in this time and space. The original time and space was also a well-known problem after Cousins came to the Pelicans. As a result, Davis on the defensive end would have to run back and forth and change.
Having to put out fires everywhere speeds up the physical exertion.
After going back and forth like this for a long time, the mentality of the two people became chaotic. Even though their head coach kept shouting on the side:
Defend!!! Defend well!!! Pay attention to your position!!!
But defense cannot be solved with just a few calls. It requires a lot of practice. The Pelicans obviously did not do a very good job in this regard. If they were born in the early 21st century, players like Davis would
In fact, he is not as popular as Cousins. He can't hit anyone in the low post, and the low post confrontation is not very good. His shooting is not as stable as Cousins from beyond the three-point line. Although his three-point problem has gradually eased this offseason, it is still not good.
Such as Cousins. Even... his passing support is not as good as Cousins. However, he is indeed the darling of this era.
Because as mentioned before, Davis has none of Cousins' defensive problems.
This era is different from the past. In the past, we pushed forward, faced each other, one bridge and one horse, one move and one move, and it was obvious that Cousins had the advantage. However, in this era... what is needed is,
To run, what is needed is mobility.
Howard is a typical example. He is not as popular as the cake king Capela in this era.
In this era, even Tang Qian needs high mobility and agility to support him. The old era has not returned yet. At least it can only be possible if someone puts an end to this small ball era.
Of course, another problem is that Cousins is not willing to run back and forth so actively, which also has something to do with personal wishes.
Therefore, if he is still injured in the future, maybe the second center position will be handed over soon.
What's ridiculous is that Gasol is more willing to run than him, but this is also because Gasol's playing time is short, so there is no need to worry too much about physical problems and distribution. Cousins became a huge defense for the Pelicans in the second quarter
Loopholes. The Lakers tried their best to use all kinds of passes and cuts to make Cousins, an idiot, get stuck in the middle, unable to advance or retreat, and his advance and retreat were slow. Then, their fire captain, Davis, was exhausted.
.
It's not complicated, but the effect is amazing. The Pelicans lost more than 50 points in the second quarter, and they only scored 24 points. They were beaten by the Lakers in one breath. The Lakers contributed 20 assists in a single quarter.
The Pelicans have completely revealed their true colors. Cousins has become a wooden man on the defensive end, unable to move one, two, three. Davis has become a gopher, popping up everywhere, but getting no favors at all.
The problems the two had on the defensive end directly affected the offensive end, and then there was nothing more.
The Lakers defeated them in one quarter, and then Tang Qian resigned and walked away, hiding his merit and fame.
Seeing Cousins' angry eyes, he seemed to want him to come back and fight again, but Tang Qian smiled and said loudly on the sidelines:
It’s garbage time, I’m too lazy to do it, let’s go to the day after tomorrow. Yes, I’ll go to the Lakers’ home court the day after tomorrow to continue the showdown between the two teams.
In this game, Tang Qian played 24 minutes and scored 12 points, 13 rebounds, 9 assists and 5 blocks. It was another quasi-triple-double, and another 5X5 data. Gasol played this game due to his playing time.
More, scoring 29 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks. Although the opposite Pelicans teamed up to score 60+ points, it was meaningless. Because they only scored 100 points in the first half.
Less than 25 points. The rest were scored by the Lakers' bench in garbage time.
The Lakers outscored their opponents 110-80 in the game and continued their winning streak.
After the game, FOX gave a big headline:
Tyrant teaches you how to play basketball.
Seeing the surge in traffic on the other side, ESPN was unwilling to be left alone and immediately made a similar headline:
Tyrant teaches you how to win.
T.N.T official website is more direct:
Tyrant Jiaozuo Ren! Have you taken notes on the Pelicans' interior twin towers?
If not, you can make it up the day after tomorrow.
PS: Here comes the big chapter. It will probably be updated later these days. Xiaozi’s team is busy with a project~
But there will definitely be some~ I can’t wait to get up in the morning and watch it~~~
