But in the end, Tang Qian still didn't score many points because he won too many games, so he basically had no chance to play in the second half. This is why it is always said that if you want good data, you also need the cooperation of your opponent. If
The game has been ruined and you want to force it to continue. Then it is a naked behavior of brushing data. This is much more serious than stealing a few 2-pointers and a few rebounds at the end. It can also easily cause conflicts on the court, which is an unspoken rule of the NBA.
It is also not allowed.
This can be known from the conversations of countless NBA players.
So in the second half, Tang Qian only played a symbolic 2 minutes, scored 3 points and 3 assists, and then was completely replaced. There was no chance to play again. Tang Qian was gone, and this was the Rockets.
Taking a breath, Harden made 1 of 10 three-pointers in the first half, which was really cold. But if you look at his career resume, in recent years, such statistics are actually not uncommon. It doesn't count at all.
Qi Qi. Now he relies too much on his three-point shooting touch, and then if it doesn’t work, then...
Dangdang~ You will find that Harden’s playoff shooting percentage is only 41%. To be honest, it is really not comparable to the so-called little blacksmith Kobe’s nearly 45%. But you will find that few people say
Harden is iron. He is the real iron god, okay? If the extremely efficient playing style of the magic ball hadn't given him a fig leaf, then he would have been a super iron god.
Shooting three-pointers to gain points and go in and get fouled, this is what the previous super scorers could do. After all, you have to know that three-pointers are relatively the most labor-saving offense.
.There is basically no physical contact. After all, the so-called 33% three-pointers are 50% two-pointers, right? 33% three-pointers are relatively easy to shoot. And after taking into account a lot of special training, the shooting rate is still
It will be higher. This is why there is such a strange scoring situation.
The scoring seems high, and the efficiency is really high, but in the playoffs... the team cannot win too many games. Why do you think it is?
Guess why?
Well, it happened. If the three-point shot is not enough, then start the magic ball breakthrough. As his singles began to pick up, Paul also began to take advantage of the absence of the Lakers No. 29 to direct the team's offense. In the second half, Paul
He had 7 assists, 5 of which were passed directly to the basket. But the Lakers are also very calm. After the battle with Yu Yuyong, their team has also been sublimated to a certain extent.
, after all, fierce battles are the best teacher for a team’s chemical reaction. Some things cannot be trained just by training. So Larry Brown adopted a very targeted tactic, that is, Harden is
Okay... ok, I know that your offensive ability is awesome, and you are also a super scorer this year. To be honest, no one on our perimeter can stop you. Therefore, is it okay for us to specifically target you?
I'm going to... play Harden exclusively. This is also a weird tactic, but it will undoubtedly increase Harden's physical consumption. You have to know that Harden has always been a superstar with not particularly good physical fitness. The Warriors are in the original space
This is how the Rockets do it. There is no problem if they can't guard you for a period of time. After all, they are super scorers, but we can't guard you for the whole game. If you consume your physical energy, then you can be behind and attack.
The threat of attack rate has dropped sharply. This is also a way.
So there was such a weird scene. Rose of the Lakers used the pick-and-roll to rush Harden. Harden was still able to defend low-post and out-of-body guards. However, his ability to change directions has always been his shortcoming.
.Because of his lateral movement, he has always had a big problem. Moreover, he needs to accumulate strength on the offensive end, and he will not be so serious on the defensive end. It's okay to guard a few at critical moments, but if you guard too many, you will be relaxed. Rose is finished.
, Rondo then passes the ball from the outside and directly allows other players to attack him.
The big man has to hit him even if he doesn't hit him. Anyway, it will consume Harden and double his physical energy.
At the same time, Rondo is indeed having an explosive year this year. He used a classic half-arc conduction tactic in the top arc. He broke through and then passed the ball to the bottom corner. Yi Jianlian in the bottom corner then passed the ball to Forty
People at the 5-degree angle and 45-degree angle attract Harden to come over and pass the ball again. At the same time, the person who has passed the ball cuts in, making the other side form the weak side. In this way, in order to take into account the defense of the strong side
, Harden is isolated here and has to chase hard. Harden himself feels exhausted after one or two times. But if you don’t chase, it’s really impossible. People’s fans will think there is something wrong with your professional attitude. Conventional
Forget it, this is the playoffs. If you are still like this, are you seeking death? The most disgusting thing is the Lakers. They don't even take a shot when they have the opportunity. They have to let themselves come over before passing the ball. Damn,
This is playing with me.
Fortunately, the ball didn't go in, so Harden felt a little better.
Turning around, Harden scored, and he felt relieved. But turning around, the Lakers still used pick-and-rolls, screens, and then substitutions, trying to find the Rockets' No. 13 to attack. Even if they couldn't attack him directly, they still had to use pick-and-rollers.
Create a physical confrontation with him and consume No. 13's physical energy. What a... cruel move. When D'Antoni saw this, he immediately understood what the Lakers meant, but he has no choice now. In fact, D'Antoni this year
It is a 7-8 person rotation, and the team's physical distribution is very tight. But he has to do it! Of course he knows that the light bulbs are the most powerful when they are on the court together. However, the problem is that if they are not separated to lead the team, the Rockets will
These people may become constipated within a few minutes.
Then the Rockets' greatest magic weapon would be gone.
In the third quarter, the Rockets still relied on Harden's 15 points and Paul's threading to catch up a lot. After the third quarter, they fell behind by 30 points to only 18 points. It was equivalent to one quarter.
Chasing for 12 points, which is a lot. If you work hard in the last quarter, you may have a chance to regain the suspense of the game. But at this time, Harden lost his chain. He came up with a wave of continuous strikes. In the third quarter
His wonderful performance seemed to be short-lived. After entering the fourth quarter, especially when we were chasing points at the end of the fourth quarter with only 8 points left, No. 29 on the opposite bench obviously started to stand up again and was ready to warm up.
Saved the game. As a result, No. 13 of the Rockets made 1 of 6 shots, made 4 turnovers, and committed an offensive foul, ruining the Rockets' point-chasing momentum. When Harden slumped on the Rockets' side, that basically meant
It's not good at attacking, and a lot of the ball is concentrated in the hands of No. 13. If he doesn't score, who can do it?
So after Harden did this, Tang Qian could only sit down obediently because there was no need to do it.
Paul didn't even have the ball in his hands at the end.
Why did Paul finally break up with Big Beard? One of the important news at the time was that Paul said that Harden...
Holding the ball too much, playing too much in isolation, and taking over too much. According to the so-called internal information released by ESPN, the two almost got into a fight in the locker room because of this. So, if Harden slumps in the end, it will be the Rockets.
The team can't play anymore. The probability of losing is extremely high. Harden's idol is Kobe. He also wants to inherit the old-fashioned style of play from the point generation and stand up to solve problems himself at critical moments. But, Harden and Kobe don't
Similarly, Kobe did a mess in the tiebreaker, and there is a tiebreaker curse. But Kobe said before the tiebreaker that he would make up for it from other places. If you look at it carefully, except for his poor scoring in the tiebreaker, Kobe Bryant did not score well in the rest of the game.
Both were the Lakers' top performers that night. And except for the Game 7 curse, Kobe's performance was still passable.
This point should not be ignored by a so-called tiebreaker.
In fact, except for the tiebreaker, many aspects of the game are key, and Kobe Bryant played well. Otherwise, you would really think that Gasol, Odom, Bynum, and Fisher led the team to play those key points.
The situation? It’s just that Kobe’s Game 7 has been mentioned repeatedly. In fact, compared to Kobe’s most famous 1747, James played poorly in many games with a low shooting percentage, such as the famous 2-for-18 shooting in the playoffs.
The hit rate is almost 10%. Look, how many people mentioned it? So zooming in on a certain point, this is what the media and the sunglasses are good at. However, their original excellent ability is ignored.
Harden is quite... bad in this regard.
It's not anything else. In fact, if you look at the data, Harden is pretty good in this aspect and seems to be very good. But if you really watch the game, you will know that Harden is... daily diarrhea. And he didn't suffer from diarrhea at critical moments.
There were too many examples of physical fitness, loss of chain, inability to hold on, and inability to end the game in the playoffs, which is why Paul had a big quarrel with him. It was the same tonight. Harden once again had physical problems, and the last wave of "personal
"Show" helped the opponent team take away the game. This is really Harden's regular operation in the playoffs.
Oh, by the way, in the first game of the Western Conference Finals, Yuan Space also deceived his team in this way.
So, it's really nothing unusual.
Harden's final statistics were 9 of 24 shots, 3 of 15 three-pointers, a base shooting percentage of 37%, and a three-point shooting percentage of just 20%. Including free throws, he scored a total of 27 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 assists.
Data of 3 steals and 5 turnovers. The performance in the first half was very eye-catching. He only scored a pitiful single-digit score and took more three-pointers than he scored in the first half. If not for the third quarter, Tang
He dived in and brushed hard. It is estimated that his data will be even more ugly tonight.
Tonight, Paul scored 20 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 1 turnover. He is also a master of passing. You can see that Paul's assist-to-turnover ratio is truly historic. The Rockets scored all the points.
At 101 points, it was very low. Even this was their lowest score so far in this year's playoffs. They only hit 10 three-pointers in the game, which was also very sluggish.
The Lakers easily scored 118 points tonight. Although they didn't score well in the second half, they still relied on reasonable tactics and hard defense to give their opponents a heavy blow. They cut off the possibility of their opponents making a big comeback tonight. Tang Qian only played tonight.
After about 26 minutes, the result was a terrifying 65 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks. These statistics were simply incredible, setting a record for the highest score in the shortest time. But Tang Qian still
Very modestly, he said this in the post-match press conference: In fact, I didn't play very well. I just hit the ball that should be hit. As you know one-on-one, this is because the opponent takes care of me. I don't
It's embarrassing to score these points. Didn't you see that my head coach kept criticizing me on the sidelines, saying that I still didn't play enough or played too little. Here I express my deepest gratitude to Mr. Larry Brown.
I'm sorry. Indeed, your command tonight was right. I should have scored more points. It's my problem that I missed those two shots. It's also my problem that I missed so many free throws. I'm here
Deeply review and reflect deeply on my own shortcomings and mistakes.
Try to make corrections in the next competition and learn from experience and lessons.
Damn it...are you talking in human language???
You scored so many points and only missed 2 shots. You still want to say that you didn’t play well? You need to review and reflect on yourself??? What? If it were better, how many points were you planning to score in the first half tonight?
Ah. Are you going to heaven???
Can the tail be raised higher???
This is not the end, Tang Qian also added:
Of course, I didn't expect tonight's victory to be so easy. I think the Rockets are still somewhat capable. They won't be so vulnerable.
Look, look, look at these words, "somewhat capable", "not so much" and "vulnerable". Tell me, which of these words is a good word? Isn't this why you have to be arrogant after winning?
???As for Harden’s evaluation, Tang Qian only said: Maybe it’s because his three-point shooting touch was not good tonight, but he scored more points when he was a little better. He scored quickly on three-pointers, right?
Who has better scoring ability between me and him??? No, you still have to ask this question now??? Are you serious? I think tonight’s game has been very clear. Let’s use an analogy.
Ah, if I get this data tonight, and I only get 27 points tonight, what do you think everyone will say about me? So, don’t ask this question, he is not bad, well, that’s it.
Naturally, there is a second half to this sentence, that is, he is not bad, but there is no way to compare with me.
It's better to forget it compared to me.
Don't talk about him alone, he alone plus Paul, isn't it just a few points? It's just that I want to be low-key, a little low-key. Except for Tang Qian, the rest of the Lakers score very averagely, and the highest is Rose.
’s 19 points, followed by Alian’s 14 points. Overall, it was still in full bloom. Although the overall team’s shooting percentage was lowered in the second half tonight, overall, it still outperformed the opponent by a large margin.
Intercept. This is naturally a huge contribution from Tang Qian in the first half. His super shooting percentage makes people know what it is to defend a super monster center alone.
Without a human shield, no joint defense, and no double-teaming, it's just giving away points.
If the Rockets perform well tonight, who knows how many points they will score.
For example, Kobe Bryant scored 62 points in three quarters, Harden scored 60 points in three quarters, Thompson scored 60 points in three quarters, and Iceman George Gervin and Karl Malone all had such scoring miracles. But the problem is, basically it was all wasted because the opponent didn't do enough.
Tonight, Tang Qian's 26 minutes, 49 seconds and 65 points surpassed Thompson's 29 minutes and 60 points, becoming the first person in NBA history to score 60 points the fastest. He and Klay Thompson are also the only two players in NBA history.
60+ score in 20+ time.
Many Tang Qian fans feel a little regretful and can't help but criticize their opponents. Why can't you work harder and struggle more? Then maybe the highest score in the playoffs will be broken again. It's all your fault.
The garbage Rockets team is not good enough.
It has delayed our great emperor Tang.
Houston Rockets fans are in tears at this very moment.
To be looked down upon like this after losing is really painful in my heart.
Some fans said they wanted to raise a flag before, but it turned out that they didn't even have any hair, and the problem was solved so easily. Even Tang Qian was hampered by his opponent's inability to continue to score high points tonight. This is really, too
Difficult.
Tang Qian really wants to say something. It's not that I don't want to set a flag. It's that... my opponent doesn't give me a chance.
The Los Angeles Lakers won their first victory in the Western Conference Finals 118-101, with a maximum score difference of more than 30 points.
