Chapter 1694 Beat the Raptors to the point of ignorance~~~
In recent seasons, the Raptors have actually had a pretty good record. Maybe everyone has no impression of them. They have been a top dog team in the Eastern Conference since the 2013-2014 season. Until this year, they are very likely to overtake the Celtics.
, won the regular season honor of being the first in the Eastern Conference. Although to be honest, Tang Qian only has the playoffs in his eyes now, but for such an ordinary team that has never won a championship, the first seed in the regular season
Honor is still enough.
Gimmicky.
That is... no playoffs.
However, under the standards of the regular season, they can still do it. Otherwise, they will not be able to reach the number one in the Eastern Conference.
For the Lakers, Rose is absent tonight, so on the bench, Wade will temporarily serve as the sixth man.
Needless to say, fighting for the ball, everyone is used to it now. After Tang Qian got the ball, he gave it to Thomas, and then he came over with a pick-and-roll. Thomas liked this kind of pick-and-roll play, so he went in with a pull-up layup.
, It's a pity...it didn't hit. Thomas was a little upset about this ball. He should have gone in, but it didn't matter. The basketball was soon in Tang Qian's hands. The Raptors' center inside is Jonas Valanciunas. In fact,
He is still a decent traditional center. But in this era, he is too slow and loves core play. If you give him the ball, he can produce almost 20+10 data. However, in this era, this data is not so
It’s valuable. In the era of big data, the most indispensable thing is data.
Moreover, in front of Tang Qian, he couldn't use any of his core playing advantages.
Tang Qian pressed him, won the rebound, and dunked directly.
"It's okay, don't get upset, just keep fighting." Tang Qian comforted Thomas, turned around and went back to defense. He is really becoming more and more mature now, knowing when to encourage and when to spray.
Trash talk is exciting. When Lowry saw Thomas, it was like seeing a ball of carrion flies. In this era, it is difficult to see anyone with worse physical fitness than him. This is not dynamic, but static.
Physically, he is already very short, but this guy is even shorter.
When Lowry came up tonight, he was like, "Give me the ball, brother, I want to go all out."
However, the Lakers don't expect Thomas to be able to do anything good on defense now. They just need to have good offensive firepower. Then, they can just apply a few defensive tactics. The Lakers' inside line is still one of the league's top defensive strengths.
The Raptors' regular season tactics are still very strict. It is said that Casey will not adapt to the situation in the playoffs, but he plays strict tactics and his level is still acceptable. Otherwise, how could he lead the team to this point? Although the Raptors star
There are two in name, but everyone knows that for the same stars, there is a huge gap in ability. Unfortunately, the Raptors' "trash brothers" have personal abilities that are in the NBA.
Among the stars, they are not very good.
Not to mention the lower reaches, at least the middle is the limit, so they don't have much advantage in playing superstar ball. And this will become a huge problem in the playoffs, especially when the playoff tactics fail. Lowry too
I was so excited that I just wanted to play against Thomas to show his performance, but Thomas didn't learn anything else, but he learned quickly by letting people go inside the basket. As soon as Lowry came in, Thomas immediately started to block his pass from behind.
Line, ready to steal interference.
After entering, Lowry rushed to the basket, and then was slapped down.
Damn it, why did you forget that there is a tyrant among them, so be careful.
However, this attention sometimes leads to excessive hesitation. Thomas used Tang Qian's pick-and-roll and pivot to score consecutively. The Raptors did not have a rim protector like Tang Qian, so they frequently failed.
.After Thomas played for a while, he immediately switched offense. After Tang Qiang made a hard blast under the basket, he quickly began to organize in the low post. He held the ball with one hand in the low post and waved with straight arms to support the Raptors.
It's a bit helpless. You don't know who he will pass it to or who will take the ball. Even in the words of the Lakers' own players later, in fact, they themselves don't know whether they can take the ball. They have the right to decide.
, all in one person on the 29th.
If he said he would give it, he would give it; if he said he would not give it, he would not.
Tang Qian started his own extremely gorgeous performance from this ball.
It's not about scoring, but other aspects. His coverage and support have reached a terrifying level. Combined with his personal offense, he deliberately draws people over to isolate him deeply. This is completely the play style of Duncan + Magic. Behind the scenes.
If you don't come over, I'll fight by myself. If you come over, I'll wait for you to come over. I won't have time to go back before I can hit the ball. Tang Qian has really mastered this speed right now, which makes tonight's game even more difficult.
The Lakers got a lot of open shooting opportunities from the outside.
Everyone is excited to shoot. No NBA player will miss an open shot without interference. This is not a key goal or a goal that must be scored under heavy pressure. If the shot is open, what are you waiting for? Just take the shot. This
Anyone who doesn’t invest in the space age is a fool.
Regarding the importance of projection around Tang Qian, it is now fully reflected.
What is the best team player? What is the best teammate? Does it just mean more assists? Does it mean that one person holds the ball for 23 seconds and then passes the ball? Wrong! Only when you can make the people around you significantly better
He is truly the best teammate. Tang Qian is like this now. His appearance has greatly improved the smoothness of the Lakers' overall play style. It looks like...the opponent's defense is extremely poor, which has given the Lakers a big blow.
The chances of stacking vacancies are the same.
Actually? Raptors head coach Dwayne Casey knows very well that this is not the case at all.
The real situation is that this No. 29, he revitalized the entire Lakers team, completely revitalized it. If you look at this ball, it is a seemingly simple Kuzma breakthrough and layup on the left side that caused a foul. However, if
In the eyes of professionals, this ball will look like this. The Raptors have already contracted the ball in the middle, and even DeRozan's judgment of the ball is accurate and he can help defend quickly in advance. He should be able to suppress the Lakers' passing ball.
.However, Kuzma still passed through easily and let center Jonas Valanciunas come back from the basket to cover up the defensive foul that was not timely enough.
What's going on? It's very simple. After the high post pick-and-roll, No. 29 just went down to the side. After seeing it clearly, he first challenged Jonas Valanciunas in the low post on the right, and then
He immediately moved to the center and provided Kuzma with another small screen without the ball in the center! It seemed that he didn't touch the ball once in the whole process, but if it hadn't been for him, Kuzma would never have been as good as he was.
If there is an impact opportunity, his breakthrough in the middle will definitely be blocked by DeRozan. Once the speed slows down, it will be impossible to get in so smoothly. Even if he barely gets in, he will be blocked in time by Jonas Valanciunas.
Arrive there and then defend with high probability.
This guy... forget it once or twice. If he can do this for the whole game, it will be terrifying.
Because role players can't open up and score inconsistently, there are only so many easy shooting opportunities in a game. Therefore, when they take non-easy shooting opportunities, their shooting percentage will drop significantly. For example, if you blame them,
, their shooting percentage must be uglier than that of normal stars. The larger the base number, the greater the probability. People like Horry are very rare, and the probability of them even appearing is higher than the probability of a superstar.
Even lower. But... if the presence of one person can greatly increase the team's number of easy attacks, wouldn't this... be scary?
Duncan was this person for the Spurs from 2013 to 2014. Although their passing skills have reached a certain level, you should pay attention to how the Spurs played when Duncan was off the court.
How did the Spurs play at that time? This is a priceless treasure without data. Now, this No. 29, he actually knows it. And, it seems, he is even better than Duncan!!!
Not only is he awesome, but coupled with his terrible physical fitness this season, this is simply a BUG!
Casey quickly made a calculation in his mind. If his team had him now, he could guarantee that he would be the favorite to win the championship every year. This person has already reached a level that is almost as great as the Sun for the overall improvement of the team.
To a certain extent. With him, everyone seems to be able to find their own position in the team, and everyone can shine.
Being able to shoot and break through is naturally the best, but if not, he can also assign you court positions and give you the most comfortable shooting opportunities and shooting spaces. This is basically... a master of court control. He is also an inside man!!! He
If you want the ball, you can double-team him if he holds the ball. Then the question is, what if he doesn’t have the ball in his hands at all? How do you do that???
This question was first posed to the Raptors, and the Raptors' answer was... If you ask me, how do I know?
Tang Qian saw Yi Jianlian slide down and hit the ground with a backhand directly from the middle. Yi Jianlian successfully got the ball and pressed Jonas Valanciunas behind him for a one-handed dunk!!! Look at him again!!!
Long-distance shot, is this Yi Jianlian? Isn’t this a star inside space on the offensive end? Kuzma, for example, also performed in various ways tonight, scoring like an efficient scorer, scoring easily
.The most frightening thing is that even Beverley started to play on the offensive end. This...
How else to fight???
By the way, don't forget, he himself is a top low-post killer in history.
The Raptors were caught off guard by the Lakers.
This offensive routine is nothing like the Lakers team I remember.
