It must be adjusted quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to hit the ball, and the Lakers will have no home field advantage in this series.
Tianchao Sports Station, Zhang Weiping quickly said that the Lakers also made adjustments immediately, because the two sides have played against each other many times in the playoffs, so... at least for the Golden State Warriors, whose lineup structure has not changed much compared to last season.
team, the Lakers have a better idea of how they will play. Larry Brown quickly reminded on the tactical board:
We played too tightly in the first quarter, and if we didn't feel good, they would let us take a step to defend. Don't be anxious at this time, look for opportunities, clear the low post, and look for the tyrant to attack. If it doesn't work, we should try to let him pass the ball. We must remember
, not being able to open No. 29 is our biggest advantage, we must use it, we must use it, don’t hit it blindly, it doesn’t feel good, slow down, remember!
Larry Brown paints quickly, and he doesn't seem to be a man in his 70s at all. It seems that this year's chance of three consecutive championships has completely stimulated him. He is also an old man who is chatting like a teenager, and he is starting to feel deep in his heart.
Things that have been missing for a long time are gradually burning up. A man is still young until he dies. Even if he is old, he is still passionate. It depends on whether he can be activated. And this opportunity for three consecutive championships has obviously activated Larry.
Brown's full body functions.
He felt that his mind was very clear and his tactical arrangements were timely. This adjustment really paid off. When the Warriors saw the Lakers' poor outside touch at the beginning, they immediately took a step back to defend. Even if it was a collision,
When it comes to the pick-and-roll, the same is true, adopting a wall-circling mode to defend. The wall-circling success rate is high and there will be no misalignment, but the timeliness of defense will be much worse. The Warriors are obviously bullying the Lakers, who are not comfortable on the perimeter at the beginning.
Online, so target it immediately.
At the same time, Cole also arranged during the timeout to take one step of defense. Remember, take one step. You don’t have to worry about this until the Lakers’ outside touch is restored. The focus is on their midfield position. You all give it to me.
Watch out, No. 29, you must watch out for the center. He will most likely move down the middle after seeing that the pick-and-roll cannot be misaligned. Everyone knows his instinct and power, so it is difficult for one person to stop him. In this way, we
You can go around the front and back, directly shrink around the former, and use the method of delaying the block with the original defender, and be sure to guard his pass. In this case, the Lakers will definitely not have much time to attack, and the only thing left is to force
Take action and bet on the feel.
Cole's summary of the Lakers' first quarter was also very good, and the arrangement was also targeted. The head coaches on both sides were prepared from the beginning. No one was willing to lose to anyone easily. One side wanted revenge, and the other side wanted three goals.
Even if they win consecutive championships, they will never give in to each other.
Oakland, Oracle Arena.
"Our defense is very good. The Lakers didn't have a good chance to attack the outside this time. We also chased the screen around the wall. We just didn't make substitutions and didn't give them a chance to misplace! The Lakers took the opportunity to pass on No. 29. Yes
Tyrant, beautiful kill! Green and Thompson directly formed a timely contraction in the middle of the ball, causing the Lakers to lose the opportunity to pass the ball to No. 29. The Lakers did not have much time to attack, so they could only force the shot. Rondo
Force the shot, miss, protect the rebound, push quickly!!!”
The on-site commentators at Oracle Arena were also very passionate. They also wanted to get back on track this year after losing for two consecutive years. After all, in the beginning, they were the ones who suppressed the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference.
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"Tang Qian and Rondo's connection down the middle was seen through. There was no chance for this ball. Alas, the forced shot failed. The Warriors pushed quickly. This time the Lakers did not retreat in time enough, and the opponent made a quick defensive counterattack.
Get in!" Meteor Rain said anxiously: "You still have to pay attention to defense. Even if you can't get in, you have to defend well. The score is pretty close now, so we can't make any more mistakes."
This time the meteor shower was right, Larry Brown immediately adjusted and replaced with dual point guards???
This change seems a bit weird, Deron + Rondo, what are they trying to do? It turns out to be to increase the ability to pass the ball to No. 29. Because when the perimeter is less open, the Los Angeles Lakers actually rely more on it.
The offensive ability inside. Therefore, we must let No. 29 get the ball. The first thing to solve now is the offensive problem. For this, the defense can temporarily sacrifice some. This substitution really has an effect. There are two people on the left and one on the right.
, one strong side and one weak side, with the ability to pass the ball to Tang Qian in time. Tang Qian also lived up to expectations, just get the ball and do it! McGee of the Warriors is like McNuggets, bullied by Tang Qian in the low post.
Everything will explode on the spot!
His physical fitness is very good, and he even claims to have touched the top edge of the backboard. Before Tang Qian was born, he was the most popular center in the NBA who liked to catch shots. His physical fitness is definitely needless to say, because his physical fitness is so good.
There is even a joking saying that he is super giant under his neck. But again, Tang Qian is not a simple athletic center now, he is also an absolutely powerful inside man. When facing McGee, who has excellent athletic ability,
, there is no need for him to choose to compete with athletic ability. The team is still lagging behind, and it is still necessary to narrow the score difference as soon as possible. Improving offensive efficiency as much as possible is the key.
The rest of the things are not the top priority for the time being.
McGee only weighed 252 pounds before, but now it seems that he has deliberately increased it to 270+ pounds to deal with the Lakers' No. 29. Because his playing time will not be too excessive, there is nothing wrong with it. Of course, he himself has asthma.
It is impossible to fight for too long. However, with 270+ pounds in front of Tang Qian, it is still... too fragile. Especially the Warriors' inside line. Except for McGee, there is no real inside line now, so he blocks
If Tang Qian is not contained, the Warriors' inside line will also be destroyed.
McGee's strength has never been outstanding.
Tang Qiansheng ate him, one after another, which made Cole unable to sit still. He replaced McGee and replaced him with Bogut, who had gained 280+ pounds. This time the effect was better than before, and Bogut came up to act as a meat shield.
Yes, the Warriors are a team that aims to win the championship this year, so they have made sufficient preparations for the Los Angeles Lakers. They definitely did not come unprepared.
As soon as they saw that the Lakers' outside shooting couldn't start, they immediately forcibly cut off the connection between the Lakers' outside and inside lines, because all fools knew what would happen if the Lakers' outside shooting couldn't start. It must have been given to the inside. They're not like the Warriors.
With such a stable outside scoring combination, the inside line must be the first choice if the outside line is misfired. Cole made good adjustments in this wave, but Larry Brown is not a fool. He also started to make quick moves and replaced Thomas.
, and then gave Thomas a task to score by himself when No. 29 was surrounded.
And don’t hesitate! Be decisive!
Thomas Jr. is also very motivated, and he is having a great time with the Lakers. Although it is very likely that this will be the year that he will jump ship to get a big contract, but he is very happy this year, and his statistics are also up.
He can also take revenge on his old club, so why not? If he plays happily, he will naturally be in a better state than if he plays unhappy. He started to score goals in a row during this period, and finally loosened the Warriors' key inside control.
Thomas has been the king of the final quarter in recent years, and his scoring in the final quarter of the playoffs is among the top in the league, so there is no need to question his offensive ability. It’s hard to say on the defensive end, but if you help him cover and let him concentrate on scoring, then
It's something he's very good at. Cole really wanted to know if Thomas just broke out all of a sudden and it was a short-lived situation, but the situation was different from what he expected. Thomas was a quasi-super scorer last season.
He averages almost 29 points per game. Do you think it's a joke? Give him the right style of play and opportunities, and he can produce amazing scoring results.
And some familiar people found that this scene seemed familiar.
What do you mean? Yes, that was the NBA 17 or 18 years ago, and it was the same short man, No. 3, Iverson.
This change is due to Larry Brown treating Thomas as Iverson. Yes, when it comes to the use of small scorers, Larry Brown is known as second, and few people dare to say that he is.
First. That year, he allowed Iverson to lead the 76ers to the NBA Finals. That was also the only finals in Iverson's career. So this wave of changes allowed the Golden State Warriors to reach the NBA Finals.
The team was a bit unexpected.
Does the old man still have this skill? Can he still play like this? In order to suppress the opponent's offensive, Steve Kerr directly went to Iguodala to block Isaiah Thomas. But... you forgot, little one
Thomas was able to reach the ranks of quasi-super scorers in the NBA and once became the king of scoring in the final quarter. That is, his super ability to make small plays and make big plays. After all, there are basically not many "big plays" for people of his height.
"Small" chance.
When playing small against big players, the most important thing is to rely on screens and use your own lateral movement and center of gravity to adjust your speed. In this regard, Iguodala, who is dozens of centimeters taller, cannot stop him at all. The main reason is that his flexibility is much worse.
It turned into a small fight and a big punishment. When Tang Qian saw this, he immediately provided enough attack containment and attack attraction for Thomas, because he knew very well... If he wanted to defeat such a cosmic team with a strong desire for revenge,
It is difficult for one person to win. Therefore, any advantage must be fully utilized. The stupid idea of one person trying to defeat five opponents is simply a fool's errand.
Otherwise, do you really think Team Cosmos came here just to brag?
In the original time and space, if Durant was not injured, then the Raptors would not be their opponent at all. You will know it just by looking at the short quarter when Durant came back. He can suppress the opponent's small card by himself. His scoring firepower is simply
They are invincible. And they still reached the finals before losing due to numerous injuries. If not, they would have a high probability of completing three consecutive championships for the second time in the 21st century. Therefore, this team definitely has three consecutive championships.
Strong. So if you want to win, you must not miss any opportunity. Thomas Jr. is the first surprise attack of the Los Angeles Lakers.
At least it was something the Golden State Warriors and others didn't expect before the game.
The special attacker deployed by Larry Brown is specifically used to deal with the opponent's strong blockade of the Lakers' No. 29.
Iguodala was at a disadvantage defending Thomas. Although he was very fast, he had to perform lateral movements and changes of direction with a player who was actually not that tall at 175cm to adjust his center of gravity. That was not a level off.
Thomas was like the Allen Iverson he was back then, scoring consecutive points and taking shots, making his opponents defensive and unsure of how to defend. In this way, the pressure on Lakers No. 29 to receive the ball was suddenly reduced.
, Tang Qian got the ball and started to attack, which meant that Thomas relied on his personal offensive ability and the team's full cooperation to liberate the Lakers' No. 29.
The Lakers' offense is back on track.
The score difference quickly narrowed, and the double-digit difference was only 9 points.
Cole also called a timeout and quickly adjusted. He was actually surprised that Larry Brown could still play like this. Originally, he thought that this old man would adopt traditional tactics or make substitutions and adjustments. As a result... they came directly.
He hired a star player to attack alone with the ball to solve the problem. It was really unexpected. It is really rare for this kind of approach to appear in a traditional academic school. However, think about it after so many years, Larry Brown now has three championships.
The coach at hand also has an opportunity to fight for three consecutive championships. If it were him, he would probably force himself to keep up with the rhythm and make various changes. Besides, he may have forgotten that he was very good at it back then.
A scorer with a small body.
It's just that it was overshadowed by his defensive coaching talent.
No matter it doesn't matter, Cole is also very excited. He feels that it is also very satisfying to be able to directly intercept the opponent's three consecutive dreams. It is similar to the time when the Dallas Mavericks intercepted the Lakers' three consecutive championships and then the Heat's three consecutive championships.
It feels like this kind of victory is even more legendary. And after so many years, do you think I will still be inferior to you?
I'm a genius in the coaching field. Don't overthink it, old man!
This year I will show you how powerful young people are! Zen masters have retired, so it’s time for you to leave too!!!
The Warriors came up and used Durant for singles! This is a challenge to the Lakers! You know how to play singles with the ball handler, don’t we, the Cosmos team, not know how? Is it possible? Then come and try it and see.
Whose singles player is better?
Durant started a series of performances. At this point, not only the Lakers could not defend him, but no team in the league could defend him. Maybe Tang Qian would be useful if he went up. But compared to going out, it is still
The value is greater under the basket, otherwise Durant's efficiency will be reduced but the basket will be blown up, which will only lead to a more miserable loss. After Durant scored, the Warriors team did not celebrate much. Tonight
They really seemed to want revenge and had to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers. Otherwise, they probably wouldn't have celebrated much.
The Lakers also called a timeout. When Kuzma came down, he asked: Du Qiqi, the god of death on the opposite side, is too strong. We can't stop him at all. How should we defend him later, Mr. Brown? I originally thought Larry Brown.
He would talk about defensive methods, careful defensive movements, and meticulous defensive targeting as usual, but who would have thought that tonight Larry Brown would speak differently.
Dao: What to defend against? Can you defend now? If you can’t defend, then attack!
Yes, attack??? No, it’s not defense??? Hasn’t the head coach’s soul been replaced by an alien???
Kuzma was confused when he heard this, but he didn't know that there was no way. If the defense of last season, the defense of last season, had the kind of comprehensive and excellent defensive resources from positions one to five.
. Then Larry Brown will definitely not do this, but now...are there still Lakers? No more. In this case, if you can't defend, if you still play defense, isn't it a sure loss? At least not
The entire game relied on defense to win, especially against a Cosmos team whose offensive firepower was unstoppable.
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"I wonder what defensive adjustments the Lakers will make after this timeout? Oh, well, the Lakers didn't make any substitutions to strengthen defense. Thomas is still on the court, and Rose is also on the court at the same time??? This is
What style of play? Director Zhang?"
"This is obviously about strengthening the offensive ability. Rondo and Deron have played for too long before, and now they also need to rest and adjust. This period should be about attacking. Of course, it may also be deliberately deceiving the other party. It is just a cover.
.Let's see, oh, after a continuous movement, Rose took away the defender. Is there a chance? No pass??? This... turns out to be to create an opportunity for the Lakers' No. 29.
Tang Qian played one on one in the low post, a beautiful attack, and it was too easy to defeat Bogut alone. Now Bogut is like an old and slow kangaroo in front of Tang Qian, and is of no use." Look.
When Director Zhang reached a happy point in his explanation, Meteor Rain knew that this passage would definitely be included in the "Reasonable Quotes" again. However, when singles come to face singles, this is to show that... we are not afraid at all, you want
How about we just accompany you?
Very tough.
You have the unsolvable Du Qi Chi, don’t we have the unsolvable Tang Batian???
Compared to singles, do you think we will be afraid of you???
Just do it!!! Who is afraid of whom!!!!!!!
This adjustment made by Larry Brown off the court really makes people feel excited. Who knew that the head coach, who is always known for his traditional calmness, would actually do this tonight? This is really... so irritating. Yes,
If you, the Warriors, want to play in isolation, we will play with you. Do you really think we are noobs? We also have many good scorers.
And if we just talk about the top scoring arrow in the team, now Tang Qian can suppress Durant by himself, because the shooting rate of the inside is always higher than that of the outside. Moreover, the more critical it is, the less sensitive it is. Secondly, Tang Qian is
In the modern era, Chamberlain ranks first in field goal percentage and points per game. The relationship between efficiency and output is an unparalleled proportional combination. Durant's performance during this period was really frustrating. After all, before this,
He really has never been afraid of anyone in terms of scoring! Even No. 24 of the Lakers and No. 23 of the Cavaliers, he has never failed. Especially after coming to the Warriors, his offensive pressure has been greatly reduced, and his efficiency has been overwhelming.
The first two guys. This, whether you believe it or not, is a fact. Durant's data in this regard is really too good. This is true whether it is the regular season, the playoffs or the finals. In the Warriors
, he is like a fish in water.
At least there is no one who can suppress his scoring efficiency head-on. After coming to the Warriors, there is no one who can suppress him in the original time and space. Pay attention and see clearly, even if it comes close, there is no one. He is so strong, he is so tough. The efficiency in the finals is reversed.
Damn James, even in the face of his unparalleled efficiency, seems to be weaker. However, when he encounters No. 29, he will be defeated every time. Unless he has a super explosive state, otherwise his own
The shooting rate is not enough for opponents to treat him equally. Yes, you read that right, even the cosmic brave Durant is not good enough in front of Tang Qian. Tang Qian's offensive efficiency is basically at the level of a nuclear bomb explosion.
Playing like this, the score difference gradually narrowed. Durant was feeling depressed. I thought my shooting percentage was not bad at this period, but why was I still suppressed by my opponent? This is really... a mess, isn't it?
?In a head-to-head confrontation, the Warriors' No. 35 was shifted to No. 29. Finally, the two of them faced off one-on-one offensively and defensively for the first time in this game. And the two seemed to have a clear understanding of each other, and directly let the team pull away, and then the two of them engaged in a one-on-one attack.
Hit one.
Durant's shot was hard enough. He forced a three-threat pull-up, and with a backwards look, he directly hit the Los Angeles Lakers' basket with a difficult and high parabola. The Lakers were not weak either. Tang Qian turned his head and set a high screen.
After receiving a ground pass from Rose, the ball was actually not of high quality, but Tang Qian still relied on his long arms to catch the ball. At the same time, Tang Qian glanced at the ball and directly moved towards the left side of the Golden State Warriors.
The basket was forcibly taken off and blasted away. The Warriors' defense is basically one big and four small. Although Durant is an outside shooter, he is tall and has long arms. His defensive efficiency has also been greatly improved this season. His blocking data and defensive efficiency have both hit records.
It has reached a new personal high in his career, so if you watch the Warriors' basketball this year, you will find that Kevin Durant basically stands in the low post. At least when defending, this is the case most of the time. Because he
This is true whether he is paired with a lineup of one, four, or five. He is a jack-of-all-trades character who can combine height and perimeter.
They relied on this in the first round and almost overwhelmed the Spurs. The rotation was too fast, and Durant was like Spider-Man, with a pair of long arms that seemed to be everywhere. But this was not enough for Tang Qian, who was strong and physical.
, it’s not a problem at all. His ball actually gave Durant time and space to take off and exert force, but... it was just naked contempt!
Pressing the latter's long arms in the air, he dunked violently into the basket, and also got an extra penalty opportunity!
Durant's ball almost fell apart due to the impact. With his small arms and legs, it's not of the same magnitude.
Tang Qian looked at Durant who was about to get up on the ground and said with a smile: Your long arms are not worth mentioning in front of me.
Do you know, Du Qi Chi?
From my perspective, when you are in a low position, you are just an airy person.
If I want to beat you here, it won't be much more difficult than beating your father's father.
Tang Qian walked to the free throw line, adjusted slightly, raised his hand and added the penalty into the net. The Lakers quickly retreated to prevent the Golden State Warriors from quickly launching a defensive counterattack.
