"Oh, this is, the Thunder team suddenly changed their defense and turned into... encirclement and suppression of Tang Qian? This is a real encirclement and suppression! Look at their position, they are directly in the four corners of the penalty area. This is to maximize the
A shrinking defensive formation."
"Now, we have to see how the Lakers face it. At this time, if the perimeter can stand up, it can still easily break the defense. In fact, to put it bluntly, this joint defense requires the support of other teammates.
Enough support. Otherwise, it will be held down. Hey, look at this ball, if it misses the open space, it will be troublesome."
Yes, it will be a bit troublesome if there is no open space. Four people shrink together, which is really... quite acceptable.
Sure enough, you still used the old thief Bobo's routine, right? Okay, okay. Basketball is an ever-changing situation. It's very simple. How to put it, if you don't hit a few balls well, the opponent may turn the momentum over again. Now
It's a fast-paced era again, and the speed of scoring is very fast. At least it's much faster than before.
Two goals were not scored, and the Thunder began a full-scale counterattack. At this time, George became the offensive protagonist of the Thunder, with stable shooting, a height of 206cm and a wingspan of 211cm. Although the wingspan is not outstanding, he and Kobe Bryant
There is a common static physical measurement advantage, that is... his standing reach is terrifying. How much is it, 272CM. What is the concept? A simple comparison, Leonard's wingspan is terrible, right? He is more than ten centimeters taller than George.
, but his standing reach is not as good as George's. He is a full 3cm shorter, only 269cm. It can be said that his standing reach is basically invincible on the outside. Don't believe it? Don't believe it? Look at the rest of the people.
James is 2cm shorter than him, and Anthony is 4cm shorter than him. As an outside shooter, it seems that only Durant, who lied about his height, is taller than him. This is why Durant is so good at the pull-up. Because of the pull-up shot.
This attribute depends on standing reach. If you don’t believe it, Anthony Davis also has a super wingspan of 227CM. What’s the result? The standing reach is only 2CM higher than George. So although his wingspan is not
He is particularly outstanding, and cannot be compared with these monsters who are often more than ten centimeters taller. However, he is also different from Butler, a short-handed monster. His standing reach is extremely high. Therefore, the degree of interference in shooting will be greatly reduced.
And Butler... only has a standing reach of 258cm, which is really too miserable.
So George stood up and took shots continuously. He moved without the ball, quickly converted and went directly to the right side. Then he received the ball from Westbrook and took the shot without hesitation without pausing. Rondo had nothing to do with this ball. He was tall.
The gap is too big, and George's standing reach is also among the top in the history of the league. Of course it is from the outside. And his movement is very enchanting. If it were placed in the era of positional warfare, he may not have such strong off-ball shooting ability, but now this
In this era, the defense has been greatly weakened and hand tests have been cancelled. In addition, he has a lot of offensive and defensive transitions and mismatched plays. He plays so well. In fact, Josh Smith is the most suitable to guard him, with his athletic ability and
Same height, same wingspan, same standing reach. It's a pity that since Josh Smith recovered from injury this season, he has been showing off. Tonight was almost ruined by him.
Now Larry Brown doesn't dare to gamble on him. He can only let Covington defend. Unfortunately, Covington's wingspan is 208cm, but his standing height is less than 270cm. He is not the kind of spring man with outstanding athletic ability.
There is a big gap between George's and George's athletic ability now, so the effect of defending George's shooting is not very good. Moreover, George moves very well without the ball, specializing in finding mismatches and attacking mismatches. This is basically what happened after the rise of the Warriors and Rockets.
It is one of the standard attacking styles of this era.
If Josh Smith can give more energy at this time, then you can use Covington + Josh Smith to rotate to reduce the chance of George rotating to the wrong point. The effect will definitely be much better, at least George's off-ball shooting
, it can definitely be restricted a lot, at least not like it is now. Do you think you are joking? George is a master without the ball, at least his shot rate is extremely high. The data is here, it is this season, the original time and space is 17-18
This season, Paul George's shot percentage after 0 dribbles was as high as 42.5%. Excluding the second attack under the basket, the ball-catching shot rate alone reached 36.4%. Ranking in the top five in the entire league. Second only to Ray Ray
Dick, thick eyebrows, yes, thick eyebrows. I wrote it right and you read it right. With thick eyebrows, he is definitely among the top three off-ball players in the league this season. The only ones ahead of him are Curry and Klay Thompson, the splash brothers.
Therefore, the current defense emphasizes more on the integrity. It is very difficult to just defend one or two outsiders well. Unless you are a master of rim protection, that is another matter. Because one person can defend the rim against five people, and everyone can come in.
It's your cup of tea. For example, Gobert of the Jazz is a typical example. Otherwise, if you want to defend an expert without the ball, you need to defend as a whole. If Josh Smith is in good condition, plus a Covington, and a Butler three
The strikers jointly encircled and switched defenses, and George also had to peel off his skin. It would be difficult to find particularly good mismatch opportunities. Unfortunately, this lineup cannot be realized now.
This is the charm of basketball, not just the charm of the NBA, but the entire basketball game.
You need to figure this out.
George is really stable in this game. To be honest, among the Big Three, his attack stability is the highest. Although he also likes super gods and super ghosts, compared to Anthony and Westbrook at the moment, he is really
It's much better. There is no way, you have to do it yourself. Tang Qian saw that the ball from the outside here could not be opened, but the Thunder team seized the opportunity and kept scoring goals. If this could not continue, he started to exert force, asking for the ball in the low post, forcing
Positioning. This is a skill. The skill of positioning is also a big question for a center. Otherwise, if you can't touch the ball, how can you score and break the game? Sure enough, you still rely on No. 29. This is normal. The Thunder have no problem.
Not surprising, Billy Donovan even made a tactical gesture directly on the sidelines, and then the four corners began to shrink. To play this, you have to be fast. You have to... hit it high. Only in this way can you make full use of your height. Otherwise, you
As soon as the ball is thrown, it is easy to be taken away by these people. Tang Qian has a good habit of holding the ball high and hitting it high. This is something Yao Ming has been criticized for many times. He does not have this problem. After getting the ball, he shoots it quickly. Basketball has always been in a
The position above the backboard has never fallen.
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"What a beautiful lift and hit, this is ability, right, Director Zhang?"
"Yes, this is Super Giant's personal ability. Tang Qian's offensive habits are very good, but he should stand up at this time and play very reasonably."
Anyway, now everyone is very accustomed to bragging about Tang Qian with Zhang Weiping, so they don’t feel anything. Besides, for compatriots who are playing so well, it would be a shame if you don’t brag about it. Look at Tang Qian’s historical status in China now
Already second only to Jordan. This is something that is in line with the actual situation. Chinese fans still take good care of their children. As long as you can really play well, people will not be stingy with compliments. Of course, if you are a mess,
For parallel imports, such as Zhou Mowang who is now in Houston, everyone is not "unfriendly" to him at all.
Demon King Zhou felt unhappy, but he couldn't produce any good data. When he served from the baseline, he hit his teammate directly on the back of the head. There is no doubt that he was on O'Neal's "Top Five Embarrassing" list.
The first one.
Now that he's in Houston, he's really more of a mascot than a player.
He can even vaguely hear someone in the team complaining: Tell me, they are also Dongfang insiders, why is our team's Zhou Demon King so different from them? Not to mention Tyrant and Yao, you just
Let’s talk about Yi Jianlian, his data is much better looking and easier to use than his. Anyway, this year Yi Jianlian was personally fed by Tang Qian to fight against Capela, and he once occupied the fifth place in the MVP rankings.
This is the most incredible achievement that Yi Jianlian personally feels. Even now, many people are saying that this year Yi Jianlian may be selected for the All-NBA Team or get the chance to win the Best Sixth Man. After all, his routine
There is nothing to say about the game data. After the Lakers accelerated their play this season, the number of rounds increased and the points scored increased. Coupled with Tang Qian's priority in feeding cakes, Yi Jianlian's final score was fixed at 18.8 points, which is a perfect replacement.
He has replaced Randall. At least in terms of scoring, he has replaced him perfectly. He is even better and more compatible with Tang Qian's one-star and four-shooter system.
But he has always been very humble. In interviews with the outside world, he also said that he was lucky and could only produce such data in the Lakers. Half of his data this season should be No. 29 Tyrant Tang. So all of a sudden, Lian Yi
Jianlian has been fed this kind of data, look at how Zhou Mowang is not criticized by others? He is not looked down upon by others. Even Jeremy Lin signed a big contract with the Nets this season. Therefore.
No matter how you look at it, you feel that they are all yellow-skinned, and now our team’s Weekly Devil is just a pure mascot. The rest of them can all shine in the league.
As for Tang Qian himself, he has basically forgotten this compatriot. It is as if he does not exist in this alliance.
Of course, it is indeed difficult for people to remember Zhou Demon King's participation rate and playing time.
"Stop him and don't let him get stuck!!!!!!!" Billy Donovan shouted so loudly. Unfortunately, even if Adams tried his best, he still couldn't stop No. 29 from reaching a favorable position.
The ball was caught deep in the low post. Then he quickly raised the ball high, or made a fake move to shake someone up, and then hit the basket hard. Beep~~~ Another foul, Tang Qian made 2 of 2 free throws from the free throw line.
Sure enough, the Thunder are still in the same old style. Their tactics are too simple. Either Westbrook controls everything, or it's superstar singles, with a little coordination at most, and nothing else. But because the Lakers don't have this ball
There were enough defensive resources to limit George, so George used a teammate's high pick-and-roll to hit the ball, immediately ran to a 45-degree angle, and then caught the ball and shot a three-pointer. Hit!!!
Tang Qian didn't waste any time. He caught the ball and hit it high. After receiving the ball, he directly connected with a left-hand hook shot. With a swipe, the basketball hit.
This really made Billy Donovan anxious to death. He couldn't wait to be on the court. He shouted from the sidelines: "Stuck! Back up someone!!! If it doesn't work, go ahead!!!!!!"
!Be sure to prevent him from getting to a favorable position!!!!!!!!" But there was no problem with the shout, and the tactical instructions were correct. However... Even if Adams couldn't get stuck, he couldn't go around easily. Is this ball good?
It's easy to complete a pass. Tang Qian directly cooperated with Rondo, inserted from behind, and dunked into the basket with a strong alley-oop!
Didn't you say someone had shrinkage? Indeed, the person who shrunk came here, it was Jerami Grant, but he is too light, 203CM only 210 pounds??? He is almost the same weight as Westbrook, not much heavier.
.So, Tang Qian ignored the man's contraction at all, jumped up directly, forced his contraction, and dunked the ball. With this ball, Jerami Grant was pushed away by the huge impact of No. 29, and his whole body was shaken.
The bottom line popped up and went.
This guy is a monster!!! He must be Godzilla!!!
In this era, there are still behemoth centers, and there are still behemoth centers that can keep up with small balls. Isn’t this cheating???
In the small ball era, most of the inside linemen were under 250 pounds, and ordinary outside lines were even lighter. To fight him physically would be a loss of blood. Anthony finally couldn't help but fire, but in the iron, this ball was shot by Rondo.
The defense was very timely and made Anthony's offense misfire. He also interrupted George's series of personal scoring performances. To be honest, I should really thank Anthony for stepping in now. Otherwise, George would be in bad shape tonight.
, then I really don’t know how many points I will get.
The Lakers don't have many ways to limit his offense now.
It's not last season anymore.
Covington is a role player after all, and his physical fitness is still far behind that of a star. Basically, if you want to be a star, it is normal to play for about 36 minutes in the regular season. In the playoffs, you can increase it to more than 40 minutes, and occasionally play to 45 minutes.
Minutes are not surprising either. If you are stronger, you can play a few full games. The role players are different. In the playoffs, their playing time is not as good as in the regular season. This is not surprising at all, because of the competition in the playoffs.
More intense confrontations require more consumption, so stars generally have better physical fitness than role players. George is definitely aiming for more than 40 minutes tonight, but Covington cannot play for so long. In order
Allowing him to be in good condition to play later in the fourth quarter, Larry Brown quickly replaced him, even if no one on the defense could interfere with George. Larry Brown is still very smart about this.
clearly.
Because Covington went down, George was even more liberated. Unfortunately, Anthony was unwilling to be lonely and started to disrupt the situation.
Seeing that Anthony couldn't make a shot, the Lakers protected the rebound and pushed quickly, but it didn't come out. However, there was no rush. The Lakers turned to a positional battle attack. The low post was opened, the bottom line was cleared, and then the ball was given inside, and Tang Qian quickly attacked.
, the ball could not be scored, but it didn't matter. Tang Qian relied on his huge body and experience to judge. He pushed the ball away again and forced his hand to make up a basket. The basketball rebound returned to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The embrace of the basket.
Anthony shot again, but the ball still missed... To be honest, Kuzma felt that his defense was not very good on this ball. As a result, this guy, who is known as a kaleidoscope of scoring, still failed to score this goal.
Ball. This made Billy Donovan feel a little angry. You can't even hit this? What do you do for food??? That's a rookie. He looked at Anthony and finally couldn't help shouting
Said: "Play the ball, Carmelo, play the ball, give it to Paul, lead the team away."
What??? Anthony was not happy after hearing this. A guy whose highest scoring average in the regular season in his career is 23+ per game. You want me to give him the ball and I will pull away? Are you kidding me?
Brother, I have averaged 24 points per game in my career. Do you know? You asked me to give it to him??? Is it possible? I am the best singles player on this team and the first choice!!!
Are you out of your mind!!!
Apart from being a bit defensive, what good does this guy do offensively? When I was at my peak, I could easily beat him in terms of scoring ability.
Yes, Anthony is not wrong. Now, George has not averaged 28+ points per game in a season, and the highest point is 23+ points. Therefore, everyone thinks that this is the upper limit of George's scoring, and he will never become a first-class scorer.
Rank. So don’t tell me, Anthony really doesn’t think much of George’s scoring. Westbrook has averaged the average of a super scorer. This is also his team. Forget it, let me give him the highest score.
A person who averages 23+ points per game and is not a first-rate scorer is trying to open up the game. Are you looking down on me???
George was about to catch the ball according to Billy Donovan's instructions, and then...he found that the ball had not yet reached his hand. Anthony even made a gesture to pull himself away.
...Okay, then you have a good shot. George is just not that tough, so he is really not suitable to be the boss. If this ball were played by another person, he would probably force it.
Ignore Anthony's willfulness.
Besides, Anthony is averaging 1+ assists per game this season. It's too difficult for him to get the ball out of the way.
Billy Donovan overestimates some people.
When the basketball is in my hands, all I can do is run towards the basket. It's impossible for me to pass the ball and pull away.
Anthony just pulled it out, and then... struck the iron.
