If the previous two weeks are just an appetizer for a devilish schedule, then the next two weeks are basically the real hellish schedule. We have to play the Clippers twice, the Warriors twice, and the Rockets once again.
, and secondly, we have to fight against the strong players in the East such as the Green Army. This is really... It makes people peel off their skin. And it has to be back-to-back, which is really enough. But this year's arms race in the West is too powerful, and everyone is too
There is no way. In the regular season, we have to play about 4 games each with super teams such as the Warriors, Lakers, Rockets, and Clippers. You say how pitiful the teams in the Western Conference are. Seeing this schedule, even the big brother in the Eastern Conference
The Bucks are all taking a breath now.
Fortunately it's not in the west.
Before that, I have to go to San Antonio to play a game with the Spurs. This game feels easier now. After all, the Spurs are now close to disintegration and reconstruction. Leonard is gone. Parker is gone. There is only one DeRozan and one
Aldridge is said to be dual-core. But this combination is completely different from the previous double-German combination. So their record this year is quite ugly. Even now, everyone thinks that the playoffs will be difficult. Pop
Vicky has completely broken up with Tang Qian. Last time he publicly said that the Lakers were actually a one-man team last season. If they had given him a good lineup, they would have won. Pretending? Then you are pretending to be on my head.
?Tang Qian directly bombarded Popovich, and then Popovich told the media after trading Leonard, we just want to add some trouble to the Lakers. This is crazy... I finally met the Spurs today.
Tang Qian couldn't wait!
He said publicly before the game:
We must beat the Spurs tonight! This year we will sweep the Spurs! They don't even want to win a game!
Popovich did not show any weakness. He was worthy of being a hawkish old man. He thought he was humorous when he spoke:
Superstars are of course very powerful, but they are not invincible. I will try my best to make the tyrant uncomfortable. Although it will be very uncomfortable for any team to play against our Spurs. Some things have not exploded yet, so the Internet is still full of them.
"The old man is long" and "the old man is short". Many people in China are fans of Popovich's basketball, but they don't know that they don't take you seriously at all.
He is a white American, a standard white man with a hawkish military style. Do you want them to think highly of you? In their hearts, they actually look down on everyone. Especially people who are not white-skinned. Tang Qian also felt more and more that this old man was not economical.
Deng, I kept recruiting myself before, but now I have no chance at all, so I changed my attitude. Drunk? Drunk? I don’t care about you! If you insult me, you will have to pay the price. I am now
A respectable person.
Wherever you want to say it, you can say it.
It's okay, the mouth is on you, but it's not up to you how to fight back.
I have the final say.
Duncan came to the scene to watch the game tonight. He saw Tang Qian and wanted to say hello, but Tang Qian wanted to beat the Spurs tonight, so naturally he didn't have much patience for the old Duncan. After saying a casual word, he dismissed him.
This made Duncan feel like, how long has it been since he retired? Doesn't he have any cards now? Tang Qian didn't care what the Spurs star wanted to do. He repeated what he said in the locker room at the scene: Go beat the opponent! Let's
The other side knows how powerful we are! Don’t forget it! Don’t hold back tonight! Defeat them completely!!!
Our goal is... a bloodbath!
Westbrook asked Tang Qian why he didn't like Popovich. Tang Qian made Westbrook stunned with just one sentence:
I don't get along with him.
Eight, eight characters? What is this? When Westbrook was confused, Tang Qian explained it to him a little, and then said in a different way, you can understand it as, his zodiac sign and I don't deal with each other. We are born to be in conflict.
Can this be like this? Westbrook is really an honest man. Do you believe this? Tang Qian didn't explain much. Anyway, he was ready to perform well tonight. Otherwise, he would not be addicted to playing against the Rockets at all.
Enough. I happened to bump into the Spurs tonight, so let’s settle the old and new grudges together. The Spurs’ lineup is DeRozan + Aldridge + Rudy Gay + Dante Cunningham + Bu
Lin Forbes. Even if this lineup is placed in the previous league, it is average. It is not easy to win the championship. The main reason is that their core lineup is said to be dual-core inside and outside, but the core personal ability is really not ranked in the league.
No. DeRozan and Aldridge are not the kind of people who can be the boss and instigate the entire team. They are just average All-Stars who are above average. They are not even superstars. The top All-Stars are barely. This way
It seems that they are still suitable to play as deputy. However, because the Spurs really can't find anyone at the moment, they can only force the two of them together, hoping to join forces to keep warm.
As for the Lakers, they have 4 stars who are in peak condition. They have superstars, top offensive and defensive all-stars, and they have everything you need. So even if you look at the lineup on paper, it should be a sure win.
In addition, Larry Brown is concentrating on the strong playoff opponents that the Lakers may encounter this season, so the Spurs, who are already in a precarious position in the playoffs, do not pay much attention to him at all.
Yes, you said that he doesn't care about the Spurs this season, is arrogant, takes it lightly, is too trusting, etc., etc., etc., that's okay, because he is indeed not thinking about the Spurs right now and is too lazy to spend time.
Let’s study this year’s San Antonio natives. Without the GDP combination, even the double-German combination is just like that. Some people always think that Popovich is one of the strongest coaches in history. At one time, he still wanted to
Letting his historical ranking surpass Phil Jackson, the "Zen Master" who has 13 rings. This is complete nonsense. Look at how many rings this so-called "old man" can get without the GDP combination.
What else can he do? It was GDP that helped him, not him.
The key is that he now feels that he is a master.
This is scary.
The Lakers originally wanted to attack Tang Qian at the beginning, but many people immediately surrounded and suppressed them. It seems that Popovich also made key arrangements before the game. In addition to the Spurs' role players, he has trained them well, so the Lakers
The team forced the ball to the low post inside, but the effect was not very good. The Spurs played a 2-2-1 positioning, then a horn change followed by a triangle change, and DeRozan took a shot after getting the ball. Tactical execution
The level is really good. Compared with the Raptors, it is obviously improved. Although Popovich is definitely not comparable to Zen Master, he is also the coach near President Hill, so he still has skills. Of course.
, if it weren’t for Duncan, he might not be where he is today. But there’s nothing wrong with his strength being at a historical level.
Excellent tactical execution, which has always been a symbol of the Spurs.
It has been like this for so many years.
But in the final analysis, this root was laid down by the old man Larry Brown when he was coaching the Spurs. Then Popovich followed Larry Brown's "rigorous military management" style. During this period, he gradually adopted it
Carry forward. The Lakers quickly made adjustments, and then Tang Qian began to support and attract. The current Lakers are not like last season. Tang Qian, you vigorously encircled and suppressed so many that others could attack. Tang Qian did a beautiful support in the middle.
, he and Westbrook had a small cooperation and passed the ball continuously. Westbrook gave him the ball first, and then immediately accelerated without the ball. Tang Qian immediately covered and blocked the person, and then accurately passed the ball in. Westbrook rushed up
It was just a dunk. The Spurs' center is Aldridge. Although Aldridge has stated many times that he does not want to play the C position, there is no way. Now the Spurs have no one available. Aldridge is an All-Star.
Yes, he is inside, but his power is mainly on the offensive end. He has always done a very average job in protecting the basket. His athletic ability has never been his strongest point. When Westbrook dunked the ball, he was not able to block it. On the contrary, he was
Pay a foul and go up.
Westbrook yelled after the dunk. He has always been a passionate player and is more likely to be contagious.
The style of play is also a violent flow of outside attacks.
The Spurs want to do partial two-on-two, and then use DeRozan and Aldridge to work as a double team. This is equivalent to taking out the two strongest people, which is the only capital they have now. Unfortunately, there is one thing
, their expectations were not quite in place. Even this is what the Lakers will target from the beginning, that is... their three-point point is a bit weak. Therefore, the style of play relies more on tactics and ball transmission, and the game
Lakers, you can't open up space. Especially if you can't open up the Lakers' No. 29, then you will have a big problem. And if you can't open up space, your offense will become more difficult. This is why the previous NBA
, the reason why offensive scoring is so difficult. In addition to defense and rhythm, the fact that three-pointers are not so widely used is also a big factor. If you look at the Spurs, you will know. Aldridge has mid-range, but no three-pointers.
The ball can be stretched out, but it is impossible for a center who can shoot three-pointers to stretch it that far. DeRozan basically stopped shooting three-pointers when he came to the Spurs, and turned into a completely classical split play.
It's more classic than Kobe. It's basically the point of the Jordan era.
Kobe was still shooting three-pointers, but DeRozan knocked him down and stopped shooting completely.
It seems that both their forwards, Rudy Gay and Dante Cunningham, can shoot three-pointers, but the latter's three-pointers are very unstable. He only averaged 0.9 shots per game in his career and only averaged 1.0 per game this season.
The third three-point shot was made. Therefore, the three points could not be completely opened. In this way, Tang Qian easily stayed inside. To be honest, since the small ball storm swept the entire league, and he started the Lakers' three consecutive championships
Times, in order to pull themselves out, they basically adopt a 5-point three-point play style. In this way, there is no way for them to stay inside. No matter how hard Larry Brown racks his brains to make substitutions, he can't
Keep.
Therefore, why Tang Qian's blocks have decreased recently. His strength is improving, but his rebounds and blocks are decreasing. This is the key.
Either there is something wrong with his strength, or the teams in the league have begun to deliberately target him.
To be honest, Tang Qian has not experienced the Spurs' situation where three people cannot pull away for a long time. So, he suddenly came up with the idea tonight to accumulate a wave of rebounding and block data. The Spurs did indeed
Tactical execution is very strong. After coming to the Spurs, Aldridge's ability to support and pass has also been greatly improved, which is not reflected in the number of assists. Mainly in support, tactical understanding and implementation, it is better than when he was in the Trail Blazers.
At that time, it was a lot stronger. This ball is a seemingly back screen, but DeRozan's use of the pick-and-roll to cut inside is just a cover. This ball is for him. It is for the Spurs' center position. Aldridge wants to take a shot
! But the Lakers' defense is not about blocking. With so many strong defensive players, someone quickly came over. This is George. George touched the ground very high, and this ball caused a lot of interference to Aldridge. You have to know that Aldridge
Delich himself only has a standing height of 270+, so forcing a shot is not a good thing. But he is experienced and experienced, and this shot is only one point. George rotated from a distance and had no center of gravity, so he was suddenly touched.
, Aldridge immediately cut in. Don't underestimate him. Although he is a 211cm big man, he is an insider with very delicate skills.
But as soon as the ball went in, it was slapped out of the air by a big yellow hand.
It hit the ground hard and went straight out of bounds.
Yes, now is the era of free movement rules. You can cut everywhere, and it becomes difficult to delay the block, so the number of attacks on the basket has also increased relatively. Without delay, the ability to protect the basket inside is also a problem.
A huge test. Magic ball, magic ball, now the entire league is being affected by this concept, and magic ball is more than just three-pointers. Another thing is, the basket.
Three-pointers + basket. This is a complete magic ball system.
Therefore, why is it said that protecting the rim is the best defense for the magic ball besides switching defenses. If the rim protection is strong and the shooting percentage of the magic ball at the basket is low, then it will naturally be lame. Remember what is the key to the magic ball? It is efficiency!
It's highly efficient! A three-pointer is more cost-effective than a two-pointer! He has a high shooting percentage when hitting the basket! If you make his hitting rate low when hitting the basket, his fatigue will naturally show.
Especially Tang Qian, a rim-protecting insider with athletic ability and high agility, is now the rarest and most sought-after type.
In the 19-20 season, the Lakers had three rim-protecting generals, Big Eyebrow + Warcraft + McGee. These three even combined for nearly 20 blocks in one game... What is this concept? These three people averaged blocks per game.
5~6 blocks! This is an average per game! Add those interferences and high-quality shocks, and you will know how scary it is in this era. Tang Qian doesn't need so many people at all, he can overcome it by himself.
He is a real shot-blocking god! If you can pull him out, forget it, it's beyond your reach! If you can't pull him out... this slap is just the beginning.
Then, their lineup also lacks athletic ability. In other words, there is almost no point of strong athletic ability. This makes it easier to protect the basket. That is, Rudy Gay plays heartlessly.
As soon as the guy found the opportunity, he wanted to dunk Tang Qian. For this kind of thing, Tang Qian was of course not one to reject anyone. Tang Qian's Overlord hat slapped Guy's hat directly, and then the whole team started to speed up.
Charge. 5 on 4, the Spurs can no longer defend now. How many more points have they conceded per game this season than last season? 11 to 12 more points! Still an average per game! You know what this concept is! The last time the Spurs lost a game
When did the average season scoring average reach three digits? That was still the 1994-95 season. The last time the scoring average exceeded 110 points, it dates back to the late 1980s. So, you have to
Think about how much the Spurs' defense suddenly dropped.
To put it simply, this is the first time in Popovich's coaching career that the team has lost more than 100 points. And in one breath, it has allowed you to lose more than 110 points per game! Such a team, 5 against 4,
There was no pressure on the defensive counterattack. The Lakers are very athletic. It ended with Butler's attack to the basket.
The Lakers quickly began to gain the upper hand. Popovich quickly called a timeout and wanted to play tactical ball, especially now that it was substitute time. The opponent's main force went to rest for several times, which meant that a tired 29 was still left.
At this time, Popovich thought it was time to narrow the score difference and chase points. So he paused.
After returning from the timeout, it is indeed time to play tactical ball. This is also the choice that the Spurs have basically never changed in the bench round.
If the Argentinian Ginobili was still there, then there might be some changes, but now... it's almost impossible.
Because the Argentines have retreated.
Parker is gone too.
Yes, Popovich may want to say that my training ability is not fake, and my tactical ability is not fake. Tang Qian naturally agrees with this, and his strong execution power and free movement rules also make him
Interpenetration without the ball is more convenient and accurate. The Spurs' tactical play is indeed very subtle and powerful. Even if these people are just substitute players.
Neither Aldridge nor DeRozan are great physical players, so it is normal to go down and rest.
At this time, Popovich considers himself the proudest place.
Strong tactical execution allows role substitute players to stay calm and play steadily, giving the main players a lot of rest time. This is indeed a very capable performance. But again, they cannot put on a 5-3 performance.
At points, there is no way to achieve a huge three-point containment like the Houston Rockets' ultimate magic ball. Their three-pointers are now a flaw. The substitutes are better, but they can't open up enough. The Lakers' three-pointers are now weak.
Substitute Duan didn't play very well and felt a little cold, but the Spurs scored two three-pointers. At this time, Larry Brown quickly adjusted and asked people to go up and force the defense. The Spurs have nothing to do now.
Masters of three-point shooting with the ball are almost all three-point fixed-point turrets that require a lot of shooting space.
Therefore, as soon as the defense changed, the Spurs' three-point shots from the outside suddenly became less accurate.
Popovich seemed to have expected this. After all, he has been practicing it for so many years and countless games. He did not have to pause because it had been arranged before to prevent this kind of situation. The tactics
After the operation, Patrick Mills, who was in possession of the ball, nodded slightly and then made the same gesture to the Spurs players.
This tactic is a V-shaped inward cut from the top arc, which tests the penetration of the flanks and the containment of the outside line. Mills handled this ball very accurately. While giving the ball, he also penetrated it. Then a baseline cut from the weak side, and the flank immediately gave the ball.
, this time Davis Bertans got the ball and took three steps directly. European big men are all very tactically literate. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to come here.
But this ball also suffers from a common problem among European big men, which is lack of athletic ability.
If this ball had been played by an angry black man, he would have probably dunked it immediately. Tang Qian was attracted by the running of the weak side. If it had been a black man, he might not have been able to help defend in time. But if it had been a white man, he would have been a European white man.
, that's different. He took a big step, then jumped up, straightened his arms, and slapped him.
Bang~~~Hat, it’s a hat?? This can be a hat??? This guy is so heavy, he can still jump like this???
But the Spurs got the ball again, and it was Mills. Mills was relatively small, so he was quick to maneuver. The Lakers took advantage of the fact that the Lakers were still grabbing rebounds and didn't adjust. He rushed in and wanted to catch the ball.
Small projectile! But, you should make a big projectile. Small projectile, after all, the range is a bit small. In addition, he is not tall to begin with. After taking off his shoes, he is only 180cm at most. No matter how high the shooting point of such a person is,
So high. Tang Qian stood under the basket with the ball, quickly adjusted his center of gravity, bent his knees, and then took off.
Moreover, it is still a standard Rockets block. To be more precise, it should be a Rockets block.
This, caught??? This is a small projectile of mine??? Shouldn’t this be an offensive method to avoid inside blocks and protect the basket? Did I play a fake basketball??? It’s been too long
You have never had Tang Qian stay in the basket like this. The Spurs will definitely pay the price tonight.
When Tang Qian feels comfortable, his opponents generally feel uncomfortable.
The key is Popovich. He seems to want to fight with Tang Qian. He still does not focus on flying kites from the outside. Instead, he calls a timeout and continues to draw symbols on the tactical board.
But is this new height of the Great Wall of China so aggressive?
This is the first year that Popovich steps down from the altar.
Tang Qian kicked him down with his feet.
