The morale of the Rockets is high. After all, they were swept by the Lakers in the playoffs last season. I originally thought it would be very stressful to play, but I didn't expect the situation to change so quickly. The Rockets themselves have received huge gains this season.

Not to mention improvement, the Lakers are just the opposite, going straight into a trough.

As for competitive sports, there is no rationale for beating up the lost dog, it must be done.

Tianchao Sports.

"The Rockets still played very well. Although the Zhou Devils were sent to the lower league before this game, we can't watch the Chinese Derby for the time being. But the Rockets played very well in this game. From the beginning of the game,

Taking the initiative."

"Yes, the Lakers have too many injuries, and their starting lineup has gone to the Rockets. Their strength has been greatly affected. Furthermore, the new lineup is not very familiar with it, so some individuals often appear in the game.

A mistake that shouldn't have happened. The Rockets are another strong team in the league this season in terms of switching offense and defense. With a wave of magic balls, the score difference was instantly widened. If it weren't for Tang Qian scoring consecutively at the end of the first quarter to help the team hold off

With the score, it’s really hard to say now. Maybe there is no hope at all.”

"That's what I think." Yangyi said: "But it is difficult for one person to beat the Rockets now. If they want to win this game, the Lakers need to make more changes."

Although I didn't say it directly, the meaning has been made clear. This style of play will not work against strong teams. The same is true for the T.N.T national live broadcast, but it is more direct: it means that the Lakers only use a few people to play now, even if they have the league's third

Even one person cannot maintain a winning rate. Basketball is indeed for five people.

The Rockets' strategy for defending Tang Qian is still the same as before. Let you do it alone. We will admit you get the high score, but as a whole team, don't try to open it easily. Their strategy is, on the 29th, you will defeat us.

Forget it, there's nothing we can do about this. The Rockets don't have a human shield to resist inside, so they can't stop it anyway. Just relax a little bit and suppress the Lakers' 3-pointers. In this way, there are no three-pointers, and Tang Qian only has one.

No matter how many points one scores, it is impossible to win against the Rockets.

Moreover, the Rockets' scoring firepower this season is even stronger, and they are no longer afraid of the current Lakers.

Seeing the confident feeling of his opponent, Tang Qian was speechless. Last year's Rockets were shaved off by us. Why, this year even the defending champions are looking down on??? Damn it! They must know who

He is the real big brother of the West.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers made substitutions and replaced the lineup with Tang Qian + Yi Jianlian + Kuzma + Butler + Rose. Although this lineup has the defensive system trained by Larry Brown, it cannot be single-handedly

The defensive ability is very different from last season. So it is impossible to play defense like last season. I have been playing like this some time ago, but it is actually a forced push, and the effect is very bad. You can take defense into consideration, after all, Larry

Brown is a master of defensive training. There is no need to ask Coach Bush to coach the defense like the Rockets, but the overall situation still needs to be changed. Although Larry Brown has made defensive adjustments in the training camp before the game, from the previous defense

Position-based defense has become a space defense method, and more energy is placed on defensive transitions and defensive counterattacks. However, the plan cannot keep up with the changes. This season, the entire league is experiencing an injury frenzy, and the Lakers

It is the team with the most losses in the league. Within 4 years, it has been in 4 Western Conference Finals and 3 Finals. This has also caused the Lakers to suffer the biggest injury attack this season.

Therefore, it is really too late. We must change it directly.

Let’s forget about it for now. The defense has collapsed due to unlimited defense changes. How can we play without anyone? So in this section, just focus on direct firepower. The Rockets are stuck with the Lakers’ three-pointers, so Tang Qian

Just go up and agree with Rose to use more top-curve pick-and-rolls, and I will block them for you. You just go in and take decisive shots to score. Or you can score suddenly.

Nowadays, the team is in short supply of people who are aggressive with the ball. As a former MVP, you must still have this ability, right?

If you can't do it, then I'll try with someone else.

Rose took a deep breath. Don't look at Tang Qian's words that were not very tactful, but the meaning is: we need people now, and you, as the former MVP, have the most experience, you are the one to start. In fact, Bart should have been asked

Le Lai did it, but Butler is bound to get busted every time he plays Harden. He is so exhausted that he can't care about it. Besides, no one may have discovered that James Harden's defense has improved again this season. Not only

Only in low post defense, the rest of the defense has also improved to above the league average. This year Harden is really at his peak, and his scoring ability is becoming more and more proficient. Apart from his collision,

Porcelain magic skills and various technologies are also steadily improving.

I can't say that I am a defensive expert, but I am no longer holding myself back.

And super scorers are basically unstoppable by one person. You are not at the outside DPOY level, right? You name it. Even if the first defense is in front of a super scorer, it cannot achieve such perfect restrictions. Super

A scorer is someone who cannot be stopped by one person. That is called a super scorer. Otherwise, he does not deserve to be called this name. Basically, if you can reach this level, you must have your own unique skills. Otherwise, he may not be the scoring champion.

Super scorer.

Therefore, someone must stand up and take the initiative to attack. Kuzma is a rookie, and Yi Jianlian's singles ability with the ball is also very weak in the NBA. Therefore, Rose is the most suitable. Rose has always known this.

No. 29 doesn’t think highly of himself. Even when he came, he didn’t think highly of himself. Even when he was with the Bulls, they wanted to trade him out, but the Lakers refused because they didn’t like No. 29.

The possibility of their combination. Of course, it turns out that this guy's vision is quite good, and he is indeed getting worse and worse with each passing day. If he doesn't play well, he has no right to complain. But this season,

He feels that he has recovered well. At least compared to previous years, his physical condition makes him feel very good. In addition, the Lakers now give him sufficient rest time, which greatly reduces the chance of recurrence of his injury. Now he is needed

, he really wanted to stand up and give it a try.

After all, I have also won MVP before.

Remember, there is also a prefix to add, that is... the youngest MVP winner in NBA history.

Being needed by others was something he was used to in the past, but he didn't know when it started. It became a luxury. Yes, no one needed him anymore. He also gave in time and time again.

Disappointment, rose withered, this is now the most common adjective he has heard.

describe him.

So the opportunity was given to him, and he wanted to try it. This was also the first time he had the opportunity to truly fully control the offense in the Los Angeles Lakers. He did not need to distribute it with anyone. This feeling was familiar to him but also a bit unfamiliar.

.

"The Lakers are on offense. I don't know how the ball will be played. Oh, Derek dribbled past half court, pick-and-roll, high-post pick-and-roll tactics? Tyrant pulled him out and did it for him..." The commentary from Staples Center

Continuing, Rose was a little touched when he saw that No. 29 personally came up to do the pick-and-roll. After all, many big-name stars now would not waste their energy by doing the pick-and-roll themselves. Although Yi Jianlian has gained a lot of weight compared to the beginning, he is now also

The tonnage of 258 pounds is close to 260 pounds, which is more than enough in the space era. But Yi Jianlian's pick-and-roll is still not strong enough, and his strength has no advantage, so when it comes to pick-and-rolls, it is best for a big center to pick-and-roll. In the past, the Warriors' pick-and-roll weapon in 73 wins was

Who? Do you think it’s Green? No, Green is only ranked second. The number one ranking is Australia’s king center Bogut. Bogut is their best pick-and-roll player. Green himself said that it was Bogut who taught him

How should he do the pick-and-roll?

It was the same for Yao Ming back then. The quality of pick-and-rolls was surprisingly high. Tracy McGrady and the others had a saying to describe Yao Ming's pick-and-roll. It was like a wall. As long as it was blocked, the person would not be able to pass. The pick-and-roll was extremely successful.

High. This is because the big center has a large area and is blocked. It is really difficult for you to pass by. If you want to go around, the person will have disappeared. Tang Qian is even more different. First, he started as a defender. Secondly, he started with the Lakers.

, is the person who specializes in pick-and-rolls and screens for Nash. In addition, in the team now, he is also the No. 21 rookie of the Spurs. He does a lot of active off-ball screens and low-post screens, so Tang Qian's pick-and-roll quality is currently the best in the entire league.

, should be the first one.

Coupled with his nearly unlimited physical fitness and the strongest athletic ability in the history of a big man, plus the strongest body in the history of a big man, under the three-in-one, if you are blocked by him, you will almost not want to get past him for a short time. So he comes up.

As soon as he blocked, Team Rocket's round-faced Gordon was immediately blocked in place, unable to move forward.

Seeing that there was no defender left, Rose immediately broke through. Although Nene defended very actively, he still wasn't fast enough. Not everyone is like Tang Qian and Garnett, so Rose accelerated and rushed over.

Then... he went in and hit a layup. It was very fast. At least when there was not so much interference, Rose's speed was still a bit like it used to be.

Not long after, Rose had another chance. He still hit the big one directly after the high pick-and-roll. The pick-and-roll given to him by Tang Qian was too perfect. He just had to speed up when he entered. Even if Ariza suddenly appeared on this ball, he wanted to defend and delay it.

, Rose suddenly made a big sudden stop, Zola controlled the ball with one hand and changed direction, then accelerated again, and made an impact layup.

The next ball, I don't know if he felt it when he hit it, he directly intercepted the Rockets' cross pass, and then accelerated the impact. The Rockets returned to defense very quickly on this ball. Rose's absolute speed was still not as good as before, otherwise this

The ball had already rushed in and was hanging on the opponent's basket. However, he is only 28 years old after all, so he is not really completely useless.

Being impatient is one thing, but the extent to which his body has recovered is another matter. He actually got up with two Rockets players holding the ball, and then swung the lever in the air, and then two people

Under the aerial defense, he made a layup and hit the ball. And the referee also blew the whistle...a 2+1 opportunity!

"Nice layup!!!!!!!!! Derrick Rose!!!!!!!!!!!"

Hearing the shouting at the scene, Rose also felt a little shaken. People in the Bulls have exhausted their patience with him. The Knicks, a team that has been bad for ten thousand years, have never had a better record. The record is not good, and the fans don't have much thought to cheer.

The cheers were basically produced by the speakers. So...how long had it been since he heard fans and commentators cheering for him? It had been so long that he almost couldn't remember it.

"It's not bad, it looks like you still have some energy." Tang Qian was also talking about the matter. He really didn't like Rose in the past. He thought he was too glassy. He even disliked him when signing him. If it weren't for the free market this year,

None of the signings were successful. If the Lakers didn't have much salary space, he wouldn't have thought of using the mid-level to sign Rose.

To put it bluntly, Rose is just a backup option for him.

Before the start of the season, he even felt that he only needed Rose to score some points on the bench, and he didn't need to worry about the rest.

But now that the Lakers are in this situation, he has to start counting on this former Windy City Rose again. It looked good tonight. Rose is also much calmer than before. After going through so many things, he can't improve his character at all.

Nothing has changed. In the past, he would still be arrogant and pretend to be a fool. Now, he just nodded to the team boss, and then nothing happened. He didn't say much.

Extra penalty hit.

With Rose opening the gap, the Rockets' defensive attention was diverted to a large extent. Then, Tang Qian started his second strategic layout. Rose still broke through with the ball, but he began to catch the ball and pass down.

The Rockets alone could not stop themselves from attacking. After a few hits, Tang Qian entered another state again and provided support without the ball in the low post. This ball gave Yi Jianlian a chance, and he was a

, alley-oop!!!

If there is no strong confrontation, Yi Di's flexibility can still be guaranteed. In international competitions, you can see him frequently performing all kinds of flying dunks. He is also in the national team and is truly a rare player on the basket.

Players playing ball.

Tang Qian didn't record this ball in any statistics, but it was him who allowed Yi Jianlian to get the opportunity. Without his low cover, no matter how well the ball was passed, it would be useless.

But the Rockets quickly replaced Paul and asked him to control the court and attack with the bench.

Last year, Paul played as a substitute, so the advantage of many teams' substitutes was offset. As an excellent point guard master, the more ordinary a player can be, the more improvement he can get. His ability is too strong.

, on the contrary, it is not needed, but is a kind of constraint. This problem is not a problem at all for the bench substitutes. But there is also a point to look at, that is, the Lakers' No. 29 will not come off the game at all. So then

This means that you have to face Tang Qian's presence for 48 minutes or even longer. This feature was not available before. The previous Tang Qian's physical strength crystal bricks were not capped, so it was impossible to do it. We did it during the offseason.

After the physical crystal brick was capped, his physical fitness has completely reached Chamberlain's peak physical fitness. He can't run to death and is not afraid of getting tired. This is even the reason why he told the team that he does not need a substitute for the time being and will just wait for Gasol to recover.
To be continued...
