The Lakers had a completely different mentality tonight when they watched the Rockets. The whole scene was filled with cheers and celebrations, as if this was a farewell party for the Houston Rockets. Harden looked depressed, and Paul was not much better, although
They really want to try their best to change this fact. However, the fact is that it makes them breathless. The entire Rockets team seems to have participated in a funeral tonight, and no one has normal energy. Including head coach D'Antoni
, he was actually very frustrated. After losing the last game, he knew in his heart that this year's Rockets journey was over.
This group of people are not the kind of people who can fight such a counterattack.
From the core to the role players, they do not have this tenacity, so even though they have reached the Western Conference Finals,...
So there is only one slogan that D'Antoni put forward tonight, avoid being swept away! At least keep some dignity for yourself!
Of course it is a good thing to say, but it is more difficult to operate. Because they played very inactively from the beginning. Magic Ball, Magic Ball, what you want is efficiency. If you play like this and take shots absentmindedly, it is difficult to be efficient. But.
The whole team didn't have much faith and was just going through the motions. Harden also started to score points in singles throughout the whole process, just to score more points in the end and at least look better on his face. The Lakers didn't intend to push too hard at the beginning.
The other party, because it’s just a fight anyway, it’s just a matter of procedure. Don’t take it too seriously. But if you want to score points, you have to let me score points. At least you shouldn’t be double-teamed.
What you Rockets did was so unethical, you actually double-teamed me???
And then your main scorer is comfortable scoring in isolation? Tell me, is there such a good thing??? No.
Tang Qian just thought they were too funny. Why, you still want to score more than me in the last game? Tell you... no way! You are just dreaming! Tang Qian got angry, and he directly asked the whole team to double-team Harden.
It's two people playing together, so we see how many points you can score. The Lakers' single defense is still very strong. Now, one Rondo and one Beverley are joint double teams. Harden is really ruthless. Seeing this
In this situation, he still wants to make trouble??? This ignited the anger of the Lakers tonight!
Tang Qian saw the double-teaming of these people and yelled: Only two people are defending me? Give me the ball and I will kill them!!!
Forget it if there are two big centers and a big inside line. Similar to the Warriors, at least hard defense in the low post is still somewhat effective. Tang Qian also needs to use his athletic ability to drag down his opponents, so that the efficiency can be maximized. Of course, the scale has come up.
It's possible. But that's the premise that the Warriors have several big centers, and they also gained weight specifically to deal with the Lakers' No. 29. The Rockets don't have such a configuration at all. Tang Qian can play Capela alone.
It has nothing to do with Tucker. One of the two weighs 230 pounds, and the other weighs 260 pounds. Even if Tucker is shorter, it can increase stability, but... Tang Qian is too destructive now. Tucker is not as effective as in the playoffs last season.
, maybe he won't be directly pushed over by Tang Qian, but it will definitely not be easy. After a collision and confrontation, he will need a long time to adjust his center of gravity and stiffness. At this time, Tang Qian has already taken action to score.
And when you beat them, they are too short. They don’t even have a 7-foot big man. The Warriors have a bunch of 7-foot big men. You, the tallest Capela, is 208cm. He is still tall with shoes, and he is 205cm barefoot.
~206CM, and as for Tucker, he is only 198CM. This Tang Qian only needs to raise his head high to hit, and he can ignore the opponent's interference and take steady shots. His hook is not for show, and the two of them can't even touch the ball.
You can't touch it. Tang Qian's height and wingspan advantages are too great. If you attack like this, the opponent's double teams will have no obvious effect. And even if your double teams are extremely tight without the ball, so what? With Tang Qian's current strength
The physical strength is the same. He can't miss a heavy center. Just hit a ball. Tang Qian has gained so much weight, which is not a good look. That is real strength.
So you can see that Tang Qian used his height, weight and strength to still make a difference when being double-teamed by his opponents. As for the Rockets on the opposite side, No. 13, the situation is different. Harden has not succeeded in retreating three-pointers now.
, and he doesn't know how to shoot a three-pointer. Without these skills, he can only dribble and hit hard. In normal playoff standards, if the referee does not take special care, the success rate is actually not high.
Besides, if James Harden didn't have the free throw bonus, his shooting percentage in the playoffs would be really not good enough, and the protection of his true shooting percentage would be gone. So in the first quarter, it was Tang Qian who completely suppressed Harden.
, they were all attacked after being double-teamed. If Harden wanted to force himself to masturbate, it would be really not easy. Both Beverley and Rondo took pains to deal with this guy's various troubles. They can finally take revenge tonight.
They were all very positive and seemed to want to completely kill Harden.
This is Harden's style of play, which makes people hate him. He has no one to blame but himself.
Tang Qian kept spraying Rockets No. 13: Did you see it? How to score after two people double-team? Have you learned it? Otherwise, you pay the tuition and I can teach you.
If both of them can't figure it out, who do you think is a super scorer and who do you think is the first point guard? Don't lose the dignity of being the number one player in this position, okay?
You hit the ball, you scored, but you're afraid of one versus two? What kind of ball are you passing? Don't you want to brush up the scoring data? Come on, keep on, keep on doing it. I'll do it with you!!!
Damn it, you passed the ball? You idiot!!! Coward!!!
Tang Qian was making all kinds of comments. Who told the Rockets to be so shameless tonight and want to suppress me so that you can score more points? What are you thinking? With your team configuration, can you two suppress me?
It won’t have any effect at all! They’re all dwarfs and skinny guys, and I can still eat them alive!!!!!!!!!
Under Tang Qian's crazy rage, Harden played extremely sluggishly in the first quarter. He made 1 of 11 shots in the first quarter and was completely double-teamed by the Lakers. Harden was actually able to fight hard by himself.
Two, the effect is not particularly good, but the average team does not dare to defend him like this, fearing that his passing ability can activate the whole team. So this is also the reason why he has always had poor performance in leading the team in the playoffs, because the key
At the moment, he needs to stand up and show his demeanor as a super scorer, but he often appears inexplicably sluggish, just can't play, and can't exert his energy. There are too many games where Harden has played poorly in the fourth quarter.
If you are a cloud fan and just look at the data, you can find a lot. In this year's Western Conference Finals, he was the culprit in the original time and space. In the last five minutes of the first game, he made 1 of 5 shots and hit 20%.
In the second game, 2 of 6 shots were made in the fourth quarter, a 33% shooting rate, and the last five minutes were all played. In the third game, because we lost by 40 or 50 points, the fourth quarter was super garbage time. After scoring a few points, we left.
. The fourth game once again continued the previous performance, making 1 of 4 shots in the last five minutes and 0 of 3 three-pointers. The fifth game was even worse. In the battle of Tianwang Mountain, they made 1 of 6 shots in the fourth quarter, and all shots were made in the last five minutes.
.The fourth quarter of Game 6 was full of irons. Although the fourth quarter of Game 7 was achieved with a 75% shooting rate. However, the front was too hard. He made 2 of 13 three-pointers and the shooting rate was only over 10%.
In the second quarter, the shooting rate was 1 of 9 and in the third quarter, it was 2 of 7, so it was still a big gap. Harden is at this playoff level and has never really proven himself at critical moments. He has no masterpieces. He is currently in service.
The biggest regular season player is James Harden. No matter how many statistics he scores, he will basically turn into a trap at critical moments anyway.
So it's time for him to improve his score. When there are more than one dozen, he basically has no power.
Tang Qian was completely different in this regard.
Harden became more honest in the second quarter and started passing the ball, but... the Lakers still had two people following him, and they just refused to give up. What do you mean? It doesn't mean much. You stop when you say you want to? You say you won't.
Just quit? Are you talking nonsense to me? Have you ever asked me if I agree? Tonight, I will completely let the team double-team you! Let’s see what level you are!
Aren't you capable? Let me see if you break the double team and score.
Being double-teamed at this time and still missing a three-pointer on the outside is really... stupid! How much more accurate can you be with two people interfering? Tang Qian was really disappointed and speechless about Harden. This is really the first statistics with good-looking data.
One-pointer. As long as the three-pointers pass and the defenders with good rhythm can use a lot of three-pointers and hits, they can score a lot of points. What does it matter if the basic shooting rate is low? Anyway, we have a lot of free throws.
Isn’t the true hit rate higher? That’s enough.
What about Tang Qian in the first quarter? Under the full care of the two people, he still calmly scored 20+ points. At the same time, his shooting rate was close to 70%. He completely defeated the opponent's double team.
"Do you see? You are a true superstar, so you have to be able to stand up sometimes and do one-on-two or even one-on-three. Otherwise, if you only miss three-pointers at non-critical moments, what kind of giant are you?" Tang Qian said.
After finishing the game, he added: "If you play like this, you will never win a championship in your life. Of course, you can join a team, but that's another matter."
Harden is also speechless. He is not the kind of person who is good at playing more than one game, especially when his opponents adopt double teams without the ball. His ability to break double teams without the ball is really not good. Do you think the rest of the Rockets can play? Give it to the rest of the team.
Created an opportunity? Then who says it's not? The question is, so what? We are going to let you Harden tonight, but we can't score a few points, so what? If you don't accept it, come and bite us if you don't accept it.
This is a strategy to double-team Harden without the ball, and then let Paul and Tang Qian compete.
If Paul were not in St. Paul form, with the Rockets' interior defensive configuration, he would not be able to withstand Tang Qian's blows. Therefore, the score difference became wider and wider. By the end of the first half, the Lakers were already ahead of their opponents.
It's almost 20 minutes.
Tang Qian once again scored nearly 40 points in the first half. This is really a crazy pace for this series.
Team Rocket is really a team of money-giving boys.
