Can it be done? Westbrook looked confused and doubtful, especially when he was facing LeBron James, who has been in the Mega League for more than ten years. He was so amazing last year that he was defeated by Tang Qian in the finals. This guy, himself
Are you going to attack him? Or use him as a breakthrough point to attack? This is not a joke, right?
Over the years, James has indeed accumulated a kind of power, and he used to be an offensive and defensive player, so everyone is very afraid of him. Similar to Kobe's first season back after his Achilles tendon injury, everyone was still worried about him.
He has lingering fears. They are things that have accumulated over the years. Westbrook does not think he is weak, but it depends on who he faces.
Rose, who was at his peak, suffered a lot at the hands of James, and he probably won't be much better.
With this uneasiness, Westbrook attacked at the beginning of the third quarter. Of course, he did not just play with the ball. Instead, he adopted... off-ball tactics and screen tactics. He cut through the air and attacked the basket.
, causing a defensive foul on Brother Big Eyebrow, and he made 2 of 2 free throws from the free throw line. The wing slipped to the bottom, and with the help of the screen, he hit the ball without the ball and scored the goal against Jordan. Not long after, another defensive foul was caused on Brother Big Eyebrow.
, all of a sudden, the thick eyebrows were raised 4 times and had to go down. Therefore, even if Westbrook made 1 of 2 free throws, it gave the opponent a huge impact. And these 4 minutes and 39 seconds suddenly turned the situation of the game.
Because the big eyebrow brother was gone, the Los Angeles Clippers, who were originally protecting the basket and assisting with the top defense, were suddenly greatly reduced in power. Westbrook's attack + Tang Qian's attack, the two people immediately brought the scene to life. The momentum suddenly reversed.
.As for the Clippers' problem, the biggest problem is No. 23, LeBron James' defense.
Maybe Westbrook himself couldn't believe it, how could he suddenly attack the famous LeBron and James without the ball?
I find it extremely tricky. This is a man who even Rose can beat at his peak. However, many people have forgotten that James has not appeared in the best defensive team for a long time. For example, Jordan's last defense was 35
When he was 3,334 years old, Kobe last defended against a team, Pippen last defended at about 35 years old, and Paul last defended at about 32 years old. As for James, he should have been around 28 or 29 years old. That was long gone.
Age is the most powerful moment for an offensive and defensive superstar like them. It is known as the golden age. But James, known as the King, left the embrace of the defense early. Especially after returning to the Cavaliers to play basketball in his hometown, his defense is straight
The decline, especially in off-ball defense. Walking, eye defense, and akimbo defense are extremely obvious. By this season, his defensive movements are already one of the slowest and laziest in the league. I am not making this up.
ESPN data shows that defensive end James moves at a speed of 3.23 miles per hour, or 1.45 meters per second, which is almost the level of an ordinary person taking a walk after a meal.
But that season, the 41-year-old King Notre Dame moved at a speed of 3.28 miles per hour. It is conceivable that James' defense in the regular season has become lazy and saves effort on the offensive end. Why?
Are you saying that he is accumulating energy for the offense? There is another strong warning from the data. This season, James' original fast break scoring is the best in the league! The first level!
The defense is not as good as the 41-year-old veteran who is willing to move, but the fast break is more active and faster than the young guys. Tell me, why is this? These are all basic data, and there is absolutely no artificial formula. This kind of data is the coldest.
.
Therefore, as a person who has always beaten James, Tang Qian has no respect for James at all. In this way, he can judge the opponent's flaws more calmly and clearly. Yes, at least now James still seems to be in full swing. Last quarter
The continuous excellence in the post-game prevented many people from thinking too much about this. Therefore, the Lakers were the first to try something new. Tang Qian became the first to reveal all of James' defensive flaws.
And why talk about the regular season? Because it’s not like he doesn’t have this ability anymore. In the playoffs, his two statistics were both good. This is a typical defensive and healthy basketball performance. James has been accustomed to playing like this for so many years.
, so he has long become a defensive loophole in the regular season. In fact, there is a statistic that many people have not faced, that is, since the regular season of last season, James' defensive efficiency has been at the bottom of the league. He averaged 10 points per game.
With the gorgeous all-around data of 27.5+8.6+7.5, all of this was covered up. The defensive efficiency ranked 286th in the league, and was once the league's worst, with a defensive efficiency of 110.9.
Therefore, James has aged for another year this season. In order for James to be in the playoffs, he naturally needs to "close his eyes and rest his mind" and "recuperate" during the regular season. This is something that can't be helped. In order for James to have good data, he
He has begun to gradually sacrifice defense a long time ago. Because the defensive data is the last to be seen from the basic data. Even if it is counted down, so what? How many people know? This is also the shrewdness of James' game.
He knows that if he fights too hard in the regular season, it is likely to intensify his consumption and reduce his reserve energy for the playoffs. In this case, he might as well start defending in advance. Anyway, under the overall situation, he will also
The data will not be ugly. In this way, it is equivalent to killing two birds with one stone. He started to play on the defensive end at the age of 28 or 9. It is estimated that James was the first to do so. Then, he started this trend, and everyone can see
The fans don't blame much, they just focus on the basic data and the so-called high-level data. Then, the defense will naturally be thankless. In addition, the league is desperately suppressing this aspect, which makes it even more unnecessary for the players to waste in this aspect.
strength.
Just keep your strength on the offensive end.
The data looks good, the fans brag about it, and the contract is huge, so why not?
And why should Westbrook be the breakthrough point? Isn't that simple? The obvious thing is that Russell Westbrook is the number one player among the Los Angeles Lakers perimeter players in terms of impact, speed and flexibility.
Therefore, it is perfect for him to tear apart James' regular season defensive fig leaf. In fact, Tang Qian did not expect the effect to be so good. He just wanted to get the situation back and then make his offensive space less
Such a perverted blockade. But sometimes, just doing something will lead to chain reactions. As the saying goes, the flowers planted with intention will not bloom, but the willows planted without intention will be shaded. This change in tactics suddenly changed the entire battle situation. Not only
James' points loss was mainly due to the failure of the inside barrier. Jordan alone would never be able to suppress Tang Qian. Therefore, the game was immediately turned upside down in this quarter.
It can be said that Tang Qian is becoming more and more courageous as he fights. It is not a problem at all to beat Jordan. Even if the Clippers now want to let people come to defend themselves and help defend themselves, the effect is far less than that of thick eyebrows. In this way, the Lakers
The team immediately gained momentum, and with people like Westbrook being crazy, three-pointers were immediately thrown into the net, and the score difference was immediately widened to 15 points.
Jordan definitely did not work hard to defend Tang Qian. He tried his best. In this game, he was sent off for six fouls. Tang Qian turned his back on the ball. He immediately sank down to increase the stability of the bottom plate. However,
Tang Qian immediately turned back. This was a typical sky-hook action. However, after Jordan jumped hard to pounce on the ball, he found that No. 29 was just letting him jump, and then took an easy step.
The basketball licked the basket and entered the net. It also caused a defensive foul on Jordan in the air, a standard inside kill.
When Jordan saw No. 29 calmly walking to the free throw line, he suddenly thought of the time when this man had just joined the league. At that time, he was obviously a blue-collar player like himself. Why did he change so much all of a sudden? Blue-collar—
—Blue-collar superstar—physical flow and violent super scorer—combination of technical flow and violent flow???
It's really annoying to compare people to each other.
How to guard against this person? Guard against hair!
Jordan was completely beaten by Tang Qian during this period. He tried his best and couldn't defend himself. That was the most shocking thing.
The Clippers lost the game in a confused way, and they, who had been dominant in the early stage, were immediately counter-pressured. Even if Leonard scored 9 consecutive points in the end, it was of no use. The score difference ended at 129
-119, the Los Angeles Lakers won the first Los Angeles Derby this season with 10 points. Tang Qian scored 40+25+8+6+1, especially after the thick eyebrow brother came off the field in the second half, he scored a wave of 8
He made 7 shots and combined with defense, he defeated his opponent. After Jordan was knocked down, the Clippers had no barrier at all inside the basket, so there was a series of attacks by Westbrook and George Butler.
At this time, I couldn't hold him anymore.
The Lakers' bench played very poorly in this game and only scored 10 points in total. This is one of the reasons why this game was difficult. But in addition to Tang Qian, the other three giants also scored 79 points at the same time.
! Tang Qian is absolutely reliable as his right-hand man. As for the Clippers, they are also a giant in basketball, but tonight because Brother Big Eyebrow got into foul trouble early, they only scored 14 points. The rest, James, still had a brilliant 28+6
The data of +10+2+1, at first glance, the data is really as stable as a dog, and there is no fault at all. Leonard scored the Clippers' highest 37 points tonight. His continuous personal ability in the end was really impressive.
People think, wow~ His personal ability to harvest games seems to be no worse than James last year.
Very strong. It's a pity that some people's "1.45-meter walking defense" on the defensive end tonight ruined the key to the Clippers' possible victory.
Even the substitute Clippers' Lakers, who outscored tonight's score, were not able to save the main star's "watering performance."
After all, the NBA professional basketball hall is still a stage to watch the performance of core players.
Role players can only contribute, but they absolutely cannot influence the final victory.
Yes, the sample size is extremely small.
James was naturally very unhappy after losing tonight. He said that if Big Eyebrow hadn't left the game too early tonight, the victory should have gone to the Los Angeles Clippers. He never mentioned his defensive problems. Big Eyebrow also did it for the team.
Regarding the overall situation, there is not much to say. If you want to say anything, you have to tell James privately, not now. After all, Leonard performed well tonight and scored the highest score in the Clippers. Moreover, losing a game is normal for professional players.
.So I just said some polite words. After all, the two teams will compete again soon. Because this is the Western Conference, the Devil's Western Conference, and the two teams have to play 4 times a season.
So he is not in a hurry to regain his position so quickly.
Tang Qian directly said thank you to Russell for his wonderful performance that opened up the situation. Of course, the other teammates are also great. Moreover, I think we should also thank the No. 23 KING on the opposite side. It is not his perfect defensive undercover performance, nor do we.
It's so easy to find a way to break the game. It's a pity that Kawhi's 37 points and last minute performance were a pity.
Finally, I would like to say that we will not be afraid if Davis does not end the game. At most, winning is not that simple. Some people should not overthink it. As for whether it is true or false, won't we know the answer in four days?
A reporter also asked: When do you think LeBron can beat you?
Tang Qian also said humorously: Didn't he beat me long ago? He could have done it before I had fully grown up.
Then a reporter from Lakers Nation came out to ask questions. After all, Los Angeles Staples is officially home to the Clippers tonight, but all fools know that in terms of foundation, fan base, and number of media mouthpieces, this is the world of the Lakers. Tang Qian nodded.
, he has always been kind to his own people.
The Black Mamba said he would analyze James the day after tomorrow. Do you think he was trying to help you? After all, everyone now knows the viral power of Mamba’s details.
Haha~ I think it’s good. After all, Black Mamba is still a star of our Lakers team. Isn’t it normal to help us? By the way, and congratulations to Black Mamba’s magical novel for reaching the top of the New York bestseller list.
~To be honest, I think you should stop playing basketball. Aren’t you good at anything else? Let’s play basketball for those of us who can’t write books.
PS: To be honest, Xiao Zi doesn’t even think this is true. A few days ago, Kobe Bryant recorded a New Year’s greeting to the Chinese people. Yesterday, he also said on Twitter and other social software that he wished James to surpass himself in scoring and encouraged him.
Is he going to pursue the position of the second person in history? This... In that case, let's talk about it. Today, one of Xiao Zi's book friends sent Xiao Zi a message, "Old Zi... Black Mamba passed away.
..." Then Xiao Zi took a look and thought that this was some kind of international joke. But when she turned on her phone, a message was pushed on the homepage, a black and white picture and text 1978-2020. Damn, this is really not a joke, right? He's 41 years old.
. Xiaozi wrote him a speech about his retirement battle before, but now there is no one left? Accidents are as fierce as tigers and as strong as Kobe's tenacity. Aren't they also so fragile when accidents come? After all, flesh and blood is
Flesh and blood. To be honest, Xiao Zi has said it before, I am really not a fan of Kobe. As a loyal Tuyao fan, it was Tuyao that introduced me to the NBA. But at that time, as Kobe Bryant of the Lakers,
He was a nightmare for the Rockets. So it was too late for me to hate him at that time. What do I like about it? But let’s write this book. Since I am with the Lakers, I will look into the information of No. 24 in depth. Writing about No. 24 of the Lakers is
This is something that cannot be avoided. The more I write about it, the more I understand. Now Xiaozi can really laugh at herself. It is estimated that many Kobes don’t understand Kobe as well as Xiaozi. So does this count as becoming a subtle Kobe fan? Xiaozi
Zi didn’t know either. But after Kobe’s performance after retiring, Xiao Zi understood that people with what kind of characteristics can definitely succeed. 3 to 4 years after retiring, he won an Oscar, an Emmy Award, and the best-selling novel
Location, plus a lot of investment... To be honest, even if you are reborn, if you don't open the system cheat, it is estimated that you will be able to get so many things across borders in 3 to 4 years.
It's surprising. So if you think about it carefully, what you really need to admire and learn from is the Mamba Mentality that Kobe has always talked about. This is probably the reason why countless Kobe fans love Kobe the most.
I believe that at the last moment, he held his daughter and said, don't be afraid, your father is here.
One last thing, this year is 2020. Maybe in the NBA draft in 2038, a re-young Kobe will come back. 18 years later, let us all look forward to such a moment. Use Kobe to express my love in basketball.
I will end with a paragraph of my own - No matter what I do next, I will always be the kid who rolls his socks into a ball, stares at the garbage can in the corner and dreams of basketball. Mamba.out.
