Tang Qian's fatal singles directly defeated the opponent. Harden was able to keep up in the third quarter, but in the fourth quarter, he suddenly declined visibly. And with the change in penalty scale, Harden was obviously not used to it.
.This is also the most criticized aspect of his playing style. Being too dependent is clearly not what a superstar should do.
In the third quarter, Tang Qian destroyed his opponent with a wave of 27 points in a single quarter. During that period, Tang Qian scored 16 points in a row in singles, and Harden only scored a pitiful 3-pointer. In this way, the game was already lost.
Suspense. After the overall situation was decided, Larry Brown immediately replaced Tang Qian, otherwise he would be really afraid that his core general would be madly surrounded and suppressed by his opponents. Anyway, they all lost. What if one loses and gets jealous?
But it's terrible. This is not something that has happened before in history. Moreover, Tang Qian basically played more games in the playoffs than not. Usually it's not a sluggish game. He clocked in three quarters in advance. He basically played
It won't come down. How can I say this? Although the Lakers are indeed short of players now, they also need Tang Qian's absolute advantage in increasing substitute time. Professionals will conduct a close physical examination on Tang Qian before each game and after the game.
,but……
Larry Brown is still a little worried.
After all, he was afraid that if Tang Qian only seemed to be okay but was actually holding on with gritted teeth, he would be in trouble. Up to now, Larry Brown has regarded this Oriental center as his most proud disciple. 2 consecutive
Championship, this alone allows him to firmly occupy the first place. Not to mention that he is still on the way to three consecutive championships, which makes Larry Brown full of "mentor-disciple feeling". If possible, of course he is
I want Tang Qian to rest more, otherwise he will feel that he is a bit "eager for quick success" and a bit "too selfish". Therefore, even if Tang Qian still wants to stay, he sees that the overall situation has been decided and the Lakers are already 15 points ahead.
, Larry Brown "wanted" him without any explanation. No matter what, he was made to sit on the bench and drink.
If the general trend doesn't change, don't go up.
As a result, the Rockets failed to live up to expectations, and in the end Tang Qian was not allowed to go up. Harden also consumed too much physical energy. In the end, even if Tang Qian went down, his singles efficiency was still not high. Well, it seems that Tang Qian was originally pulled
Out, so Tang Qian is not inside. In fact, except for the occasional flash of inspiration and the occasional gambling-style cutting inside to help defend, Harden basically has no time to attack and defend against the Lakers' No. 29, so he only has physical fitness.
No, Tang Qian is just as efficient on the court, and he's just as efficient off the court. Seeing this, the Lakers naturally stopped defending him alone, and instead defended him alone. At the same time, the offensive end was to dislocate Rose.
Pick and roll, find him to fight! Further consumption will make him unable to breathe.
Offensive end consumption, to be honest, is actually a very stupid trick when facing a superstar with particularly good physical fitness. You see a few people using good offensive ball handlers to consume Jordan, Kobe, O'Neal, Duncan, Olajuwon and the like.
Even Magic and Bird, who are not top-notch defenders, have never lost their physical fitness. So if you spend so much, in the past, it would be weakening the energy of your own ball-handling attacker. The head coach of the opponent team will see it.
Laughing to death. Unfortunately, things are different now. For example, Harden, Curry, and even Durant are all actively attacked by their opponents in order to consume them. To be honest, it was extremely rare in the past. Why?
?Isn’t it just because they look...oh, no, isn’t it because their physical fitness is not good enough? If they are good enough, how is it possible? Even if the defense is not good, the opponent will not be so stupid. The body of a star
Generally speaking, it is better, so it is not cost-effective to play. It can only be used for physical consumption, which is the key to this move.
Harden is now being squeezed off the court by Larry Brown until he is close to collapse, but the Rockets actually lack the final attack method and want to learn from the Bulls to rely on superstar ball to solve the problem in isolation. There is no problem with the Rockets' lineup.
After all, the ultimate magic ball has amazing three-point lethality, and role players dare to take shots under D'Antoni's training, so the singles space is not a big problem. But in the area of singles executor, even though the Rockets have super scorers,
He is not a player like Curry who is relatively weak in singles ability, or even the king of singles in the regular season according to the statistics. However, after the intensity in the playoffs increased, he could not score the final goal. In addition, Larry Brown's targeted
After deliberate consumption, his final physical strength was on the verge of collapse.
In the end, Harden made 0 of 3 shots and the game time was completely exhausted. The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Houston Rockets 128-120. The series score was 2-0. Tang Qian scored 75 points in the game.
Tied the NBA playoff scoring record he set last year. And coincidentally, the opponent team that set the record last time was also the Houston Rockets, and it was also in this G2 game. It was just in the Western Conference semifinals. Plus
With 18 rebounds, 4 blocks, 4 assists and 1 steal, Tang Qian undoubtedly became the best player of the game tonight. Although the rebounds and blocks were not improved because the opponent had a five-shooter.
The method was pulled out most of the time, but it still couldn't stop Tang Qian from still leading the playoff rankings with these statistics. Except that the position of the assist leader is now replaced by the Lakers' No. 1 Rondo, the rest,
It is still their Tyrant No. 29 who is firmly in control.
Especially the scoring, it's soaring all the way, and beating the Rockets is a total scoring team.
Guarding him alone...I really don't know what D'Antoni is thinking.
He is so confident in the team's offense that he succeeds and loses.
However, as Tang Qian, he is naturally very willing to encounter this kind of one-on-one defense situation, because he has a huge advantage, and at the same time... he has no physical problems like James Harden at all. So he couldn't be more happy to play like this.
So far in the last game, he scored 65 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks, and this was achieved in just over 26 minutes. Although he played 30+ minutes tonight, but after careful calculation,
, compared to Tang Qian's "normal playing time" this season, it is simply very little. Therefore, his efficiency in this round against the Rockets is simply unbelievable. In a very small unit of time, he scored extremely high data, and also
Is there anything more amazing than this? This made me eliminate the letters at home and record something in a small book while reading:
To improve your efficiency, you must explode the maximum energy in a short period of time!
When I need to stand up, I will explode in large numbers. At other times, I will not compete with the rest of the team for data. This can fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the whole team.
Well, I still have to study and continue to study.
There is indeed a lot for me to learn from No. 29.
Except for Tang Qian, Rose scored the most points with 23 points, followed by Alian with 11 points, and everyone else also scored. However, Tang Qian was the main attacker in the second half of tonight, and the Rockets were stubborn tonight.
Blocking the Lakers' three-point line. Therefore, there are not many long-distance three-pointers. As a result, outside scoring is not as good as usual. But in the playoffs, you need to be flexible. People block your three-point line.
Isn't it stupid if you still have to fight hard? Even the Warriors will use passing and running + mid-range to break the game. What's more, the Lakers also have the largest inside advantage in the league.
Wouldn't it be a big fool to use it?
Therefore, tonight's score was not outstanding among the others.
But everyone understands that this is caused by the opponent's defensive strategy, and it does not mean that the Lakers' No. 29 is really a "lone force". For the sake of tactical service, this is something that professional players can accept in their hearts. Let's talk about winning.
, can cover up all problems. Now that everyone has defeated the Warriors, their morale is high. No matter what the future holds, whether they are still on this team or not. But no one is willing to work hard for the only three consecutive championships in life.
. When you see hope and when you don't see hope, the motivation is definitely completely different. Now that the biggest obstacle is gone, everyone naturally feels that hope has come. Especially against the seemingly powerful Houston Rockets, the playoffs are uncharacteristically
"Not strong", in this way, I am even more confident about winning three consecutive championships. Because in recent years, as long as you break through the Western Conference, you will be...the championship.
Now that Toyota Center has won both away games, the hope of advancement is simply great.
According to ESPN data, since the 7-game 4-win system, so far, after a 2-0 start, the promotion probability is as high as 93%. Even including the previous 5-game 3-win system in the first round, the promotion probability is still 85%.
Therefore, even if ESPN no longer likes the Los Angeles Lakers, they have to adjust the probability in the latest prediction. It is said that the Lakers can advance to the next round at least 70%. Damn... so conservative!!! I only gave 7
OK! It seems like you really don’t want us to advance successfully.
It's a pity...your ideas are useless.
James Harden, who scored 40 points in the game, said after the game: We haven't lost yet! We haven't played real Rockets basketball yet!!! We are the top seed in this year's regular season!!!
Yes, yes, you scored 40 points tonight with a shooting percentage of about 40%. What's so awesome about it? What? True shooting percentage warning??? Bullshit! You Harden has the best true shooting percentage.
, after all, Jordan is not your opponent, right? There is just one thing... you can't win the ball. You can't have the last laugh. Why is the true shooting percentage of the king of outsiders so miserable?
Paul still regularly scores close to 20 points, and then seven or eight assists. After he came to the Rockets, Harden took away most of the ball control, and naturally his data will decline. But for his first Western Conference Finals, he
Still decided to cooperate with the whole team and follow the command in all actions. The next day, the Cavaliers, who returned to their home court, finally sounded the clarion call for counterattack, and the strategy changed dramatically. Well, whether you are coached by Lu or James wants to change
, anyway, the Cavaliers were under huge pressure at the beginning of G3, and then they started to counterattack. The first thing is defense. The Cavaliers have never cared about defense this season. They are the worst defensive efficiency team in the history of the league. You think it is fake.
?This is all true, so the Cavaliers subconsciously felt that they had no chance of playing defense and had to suppress the offense to win. This idea dominated their entire season until they were forced to 2-0 by the Green Army again.
, they finally started to wake up. After changing their previous lazy defensive style, they began to strengthen their defense in the first quarter. In addition, neither the joke nor the league wanted James to be eliminated, so they were slightly paralyzed and the home court was given more space.
Some, the Cavaliers tonight immediately caused the Green Army's offense to fall into constipation. Remember what the state of the Green Army is now, missing two star players, Irving and Hayward, and now everyone is playing, so
They all played relatively hard and relied on tactics. However, the Cavaliers' defense was really bad before, so this problem did not break out. Now the Cavaliers have strengthened their defense, and at the same time, the defensive scale is obviously biased towards the Cavaliers. Suddenly, the Green Army has no star support.
The player's problem immediately broke out. Then James of the Cavaliers also led by example and defended with all his strength. He made the Green Army's outside line, which had performed well in the previous games, completely misfire at the beginning of tonight. In the first quarter, the Green Army
The army actually only shot more than 30% from the field and only scored 17 points. This was 17 points against the Cavaliers. It was too few and too few. I am afraid no one would have dared to believe it before. The Cavaliers had James
Direct the attack in an all-round way and play fast break, and the momentum immediately overwhelms the opponent.
Then, the tone of the entire game didn't change much. Thompson stepped up his playing time tonight. Although he made the Cavaliers' offense worse, the improvement on the defensive end was immediate. In addition, the Celtics already had the ball.
His hands were not very good, and his offense suddenly failed, and he was overwhelmed by the Cavaliers' constant counterattacks. Tonight, the Cavaliers had an attitude of going crazy on counterattacks, regardless of whether they made mistakes or not. This shows the coaching staff of the Green Army.
Some were stunned and didn't expect it.
Tonight, the Green Army only scored a total of 80+ points. This is a score that cannot be watched in modern basketball. The Cavaliers gloriously scored 116 points. They were finally proud and proud. They defeated their opponents tonight and ended the series.
The big score of the game was tied at 2-1. Although there was a hint of league interference, it was still done. James had more than a dozen assists in the game, but they were not blocked.
His strength is still strong and he is really stable and strong this year.
Then James said that we can definitely defeat the opponent. Well, he started to fire bombs again. It happens every year. Grandma Nian has this routine.
