Chapter 1850 The Green Army's White-faced Handsome Thoughts
Winning the Mavericks is nothing, because this is what everyone expected. The Warriors also won the opening game. Although Cousins' integration is not good enough, it is not as slow as expected. The key is the arrival of Cousins
It adds inside confrontation, inside support and attack to them, which are the things that the previous Warriors lacked the most.
Even Thompson said in an interview after the game: Yes, we feel very good. Today we only played 30% of our power at most. We still have a lot of potential that can be tapped.
This is really pretentious, but they are now a veritable five-star team, and Cousins' recovery and comeback are much better than before, so it is really hard to refute. The starters are all star-level, and in the end
The scary thing is that they are still at their peak. This is something that has never happened in the entire history. Some of the so-called F4s in the past have been dead for a long time, or they were injured and could not show their strength at all. Similar to this
All of them are in their prime, which is really... unprecedented.
It's really too scary.
The next day, the Clippers were defeated and the Rockets also lost, which was a bit incredible. However, they are both giants and need to get along, so everyone is optimistic about this.
The Lakers faced the Magic in the second game, and it was another massacre without any suspense. Tang Qian is also slowly adapting to the so-called new rules. Basically, the scale is where you knock someone over. This place
The whistle will be very strict. Similar to last year's one-turn-over, it is basically unrealistic. But if you don't let him fall to the ground and control the intensity, you will not be whistled. If you touch this rule
After his joint bone, Tang Qian gradually became more comfortable playing. But the Lakers were too strong. They beat the Magic and scored 80 points in halftime. You have to know that although the Magic started at center,
Nikolas Vucevic was not able to play and was still injured, but he would not have been massacred like this. The Lakers' dunks and counterattacks were just one wave after another. Tang Qian finished Westbrook's dunk.
, Westbrook finished dunking, George dunked, George finished dunking, Butler dunked, Butler finished dunking, and Covington also dunked. This is simply crazy.
The key is that their counterattack is too fast. After Westbrook replaced Rondo, the Lakers' counterattack speed was as fast as connecting to fiber optics, and their success rate increased significantly. As the engine of the backcourt, Westbrook's ability is unparalleled in the world.
Westbrook's blitz is no joke. It's really just one word, fast.
Then Tang Qian didn't even have time to exert his strength, and he didn't have a chance to show off the effects of his offseason special training, and then... he was replaced, and he could only watch his teammates continue to show their strength on the court.
The key is that the Lakers' bench lineup is not bad, which means that the score has never slowed down and increased. It's just that they have lost more points, but they are still scoring. In the third quarter, they scored 110 points.
He scored 140 in four quarters. This was because the Orlando Magic were defeated too quickly, so the Lakers' star players basically didn't play for long. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare think about it. After the game, Tang Qian just smiled and said: Look
It seems that it is difficult for me to maintain my data this year, so what I have to do is to improve my efficiency, otherwise I may not be able to maintain my number one data in the league. Alas, it is all my fault that my teammates are too good and the team is too good.
Strong.
Damn it~ Another wave of naked pretense, this is simply going to make people angry.
Of course, some people seriously said: If Tang Qian's statistics continue, he will probably lose his No. 1 spot in the league. After all, there are many people with strong statistics this year.
The third game is against the Green Army. This year’s Green Army also looks menacing. With the super coach + the return of Hayward and Irving, plus the team from last year’s Eastern Conference Finals, everything is unmatched. Their current record is 3 wins and 1 loss.
They started off well, at least before Irving started to commit suicide and messed up the team's locker room, they played very well overall. No wonder this year is said to be the Eastern Conference year for the Celtics. James is gone.
After the Raptors disintegrated, it felt like they were the one. There has never been a strong team in the Eastern Conference. Antetokounmpo had no results in leading the team before, so it seems that public opinion is still on the side of the Green Army.
The Green Army also said they are looking forward to this game. After all, they also have a luxurious lineup and will not be afraid of anyone.
Especially the Los Angeles Lakers.
"Feud" is really no joke. Almost every Green Army player who comes in has their heads washed.
Coupled with the public opinion guidance at the beginning of this year, they really feel that they are the Eastern God this year.
When I came to Boston, I saw that this team, which is known as the God of the Eastern Conference this year, is indeed in good momentum. The two major stars are back, and I feel that the momentum is like a rainbow. However, Tang Qian was not ambiguous at all. He told the whole team that they would defeat their opponents tonight.
, because he feels that the head coach of the Green Army likes to show off too much and actually has no real results. This is of course a joke. At least Tang Qian still doesn’t know how Stevens will line up next year. If he knew,
He will no longer just say it in the locker room, but will openly bombard his opponents. When he says this now, he is deliberately finding a reason to replace seriousness with jokes. It also meets the needs of the current Lakers. They are all new teams.
There are many big names on the team, so being too serious is unnecessary. It can easily lead to a tense situation in the locker room. Moreover, the Lakers have already won three consecutive championships, and they are all ambitious people. If there is no need, he will not be so direct.
A dynasty team should look like a dynasty team. They were the absolute rulers of the league in the previous three years.
Even if they are role players, they are role players for a dynasty team. He wants to give these people a sense of identity.
Of course, all of this must be based on strength and record, otherwise, it is meaningless.
At the beginning of the game, the Lakers' lineup was still Tang Qian + Covington + George + Butler + Westbrook, while the Green Army's lineup was Irving + Tatum + Horford + Aaron Baynes + Hayward. And from the beginning, they
The whole court opened up and hit the full range. Aron Baynes, who originally had no range, actually developed a three-pointer during this offseason. It seems that all the C positions in the league are under Tang Qian's terrifying pressure.
Next, I started to learn three-point shooting and three-point shooting more quickly. Otherwise, it would be impossible to play. Offense and defense would become a complete burden. Originally, Baynes was supposed to develop three-pointers next season.
This season has been developed in advance. It seems that the Green Army has also made a detailed plan for the Los Angeles Lakers this year.
Maybe they think, oh, we may have to beat them this year. Breaking through in the Eastern Conference is not difficult, and we must take good care of them in the finals.
At least for several teams in the Western Conference, Stevens has made special plans.
As a coach, his qualities and abilities are beyond words. There is nothing wrong with this. He is indeed capable. He is also good at coaching teams, and his coaching style is also very suitable for the Celtics. After all, the Greens have been
Team play, team style. If you look at the original time and space, their historical lineup cannot suppress the Lakers, and even the star power is far behind. How many Lakers are there in the top ten in history? If the Green Army can't hold on, it will be Bill.
. Russell. What about the Lakers? A rough calculation, Magic, Kobe, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, O'Neal, James, Chamberlain... the Lakers account for more than half of the top ten in history. But there are very few opponents. This is ball
Because of the team's style. Those in the Green Army exist more for the team. Their individual stars are far less colorful than the Lakers, and such a team is just right for Stevens. When he was in college,
He is very good at leading such a team. Only in this way can he be able to give orders like an arm.
He may not be able to control a superstar who has too strong personal characteristics.
But his tactics still seem a bit difficult in the Lakers' lineup tonight. The main reason is that the Lakers have too many people who can attack. And there are some points that you can't defend alone. Even if
In order to deal with the Lakers' No. 29, he deliberately put up a lineup with double inside and double centers. Horford + Baynes are not in a good situation either. One of them only weighs 255 pounds, and the other has gained weight to 270 pounds, which seems to be still good.
Yes. It's pretty good in this era, but you're facing the Lakers' No. 29, which seems a bit... not good enough. Tang Qian's strength has reached its peak this year, and he feels like he can hit him at will.
It is too difficult to defeat the opponent, especially someone who is not a heavy center forward. It is too difficult to fight against him now.
There is no other way but to try double-teaming without the ball to make it difficult for him to get the ball for the time being.
But in this case, the rest will become a three-defense and four-defense situation. The Lakers are not like last season. In such an attacking environment, Westbrook and George Butler will not let it go. Tang Qian does not need to deal with it.
To move, just attract double-teams without the ball in the low post, and then watch the show. The attack on the Green Army's side is obviously not so easy. After all, the Lakers now have no weaklings, and the starting five are
, all of them are physically excellent, at least they will not lose in the same position. In this case, the Green Army played so hard, and Larry Brown has gone through a complete pre-game training camp, and he has to restore the previous devil's defensive system.
Meaning. Even if the league wants to weaken the defense now, the weakening will be for the entire league. After all the weakening, the Lakers will still remain the strongest. The key is that their offense is still so smooth, which is a headache.
Moreover, it is obvious that the quality of the Green Army's stars cannot keep up.
As for Hayward, it is obvious that he has not fully recovered from the injury, so he did not play very well in the first two games. It's just that he came to join Stevens because of his reputation, so the head coach still gave him
He has enough patience. However, the question is, there is one thing now, that is, the other young people in the Green Army. Can they give him the same patience? This is the NBA! Not Jishantang! Everyone needs to strive to reach the top and make a living.
. If you can't? Then I'm sorry, please hand over your position! We want to go up!
Hayward struck, the Lakers passed by, Tang Qian immediately formed a low post to ask for the ball, and two Boston insiders came over to double-team him, but Tang Qian was just a cover, just to empty the basket and allow his own players to have enough shots to kill the basket.
Space. George singled out Hayward and made an easy hit. Hayward was a little out of shape at all. He was also a little impatient, so before the team had enough space for the ball, he forced his way in with the help of a pick-and-roll, and then...
...and received a big blow from Tang Qian who moved over.
The Lakers immediately started to charge. Westbrook made a lightning dash with the ball, and then a quick counterattack. After George shook Tatum with a fake move, Butler held the ball and hit a one-handed dunk! This year's Lakers dunk
, it’s really a bit much. In Tang Qian’s words, the main reason is that the opportunity is so good that I can’t help everyone if I don’t deduct it.
After a while, Irving came out for a one-on-one shot, dribbling the ball and making a sudden stop and hitting the ball backwards.
But on the defensive end, there is still a problem, that is, they can't do anything about the Lakers' No. 29. If you give them a chance, they will rush in and beat you with their backs. There is no problem if they don't directly knock you over with their backs. This level is too big.
Qian quickly began to master it, and sure enough, many things did not achieve the desired effect after being formulated. You can set the rules, but the effect depends on how the players do it.
We are not marionettes, and we will not follow suit.
Human beings are very adaptable.
It's far stronger than you think.
At this time, the young marshal of the Green Army was still smart. He immediately had an idea. After seeing tonight's referee, he immediately understood. He immediately called for a short pause, and then said to the two insiders: You will do this later.
...remember it?
After hearing this, the two people turned their heads and looked at each other, then nodded immediately.
