James disappeared a bit after this game, because he didn't touch the ball very much, and the most terrifying thing is that the punishment techniques he used to use in the past were to make his teammates obediently give the ball to him to save his life. In this team, tonight, there is no
It has an effect. Because Leonard is not like Irving and Isaiah Thomas this season. If you really give him the ball, he can really hit it. It is also possible for one person to attack several people. Therefore, James wants to play this
It doesn't matter to him. As a member of the league, he knows what James can do for the ball. So, it doesn't matter. You can just stand aside and be dumbstruck. Just watch my performance.
That’s it.
Although Leonard's PER is not high, he is really the type who can attack tough situations, and defensively, he is probably the strongest perimeter defender in history. At least one of them. Therefore, James will disappear on one side.
Then he will take over the game by himself. That's enough. On the court, Leonard will still do what he says and will never be timid. The most frightening thing is that in the eyes of this man who does not seem to have a high presence in the league, James
, he saw a hint of coldness and a degree of firmness. This feeling can't be explained clearly, but the feeling it gave him was something that few people in this era could possess.
Of course, what shocked James the most was that he didn't give up on him at all. You can do whatever you want, I'll just hit mine.
The key is that he performed it so calmly and focused, as if it didn't matter to him whether he was there or not.
This guy is probably a more terrifying teammate than Wade at his peak. He has even exceeded his control.
Don't talk about him, even the Lakers are a little confused about the Clippers' current routine. What's going on with this guy now? Leonard, isn't he a defensive engineer? He's not a defensive master, and he mainly attacks without the ball.
What? When did it become like this? What has it become? Has he become such a fierce offensive guy with the ball? Kawhi Leonard, because he made his defensive debut with the Spurs, and because he is usually more
Low-key, with a very poor sense of presence. In fact, he has already had a 25+ season with the Spurs. He is definitely a first-class scorer, but everyone still subconsciously ignores this problem. Coupled with the injury last season, the data is a mess.
So his scoring ability is not remembered by everyone. This season, he has transformed again.
Compared with before, I don’t know how many levels his offensive ability has improved. If the Spurs were at his current level, the Heat would not be able to beat them. They might even establish a small dynasty. So for his underestimation, not only
Not only the Lakers, not just the Clippers themselves, but fans all over the world, and the entire league, have somewhat underestimated him.
He relied on the defensive masters of the Lakers to forcefully score a goal. He didn't jump very high, but he had good strength and confrontation, and his shots were extremely stable, such as this ball. Facing the zone defense of George and Butler, he actually
They all forced their way in, leaning into a space with their bodies, and then using a posture that was not flashy or good-looking at all, they shot and scored from the basket.
It doesn't look exciting at all, and the action even has a little bit of frame failure, but it can still score goals.
And you have to know that the ones who defended him just now were two masters of defensive level, George + Butler. But he still hit it in unhurriedly. He also had a poker face after scoring the goal. When he saw that the referee did not blow the whistle,
He turned around and went back to defense. Here, to use Kobe's original words in the details program, he knew very well how to score, and his basic skills were surprisingly good, which allowed him to always throw the ball in in various ways.
In the basket. To a certain extent, he is the Tim Duncan of the small forward position. He is the basic skill of the forward.
Kobe was praising Leonard for honing his basic skills even though his body was not that powerful. He had honed his basic skills better than others. Then the gap in his physical running and jumping abilities would be offset to the greatest extent.
It's similar to the No. 21 pick of the Spurs back then. He didn't have enough athletic ability at the back and had to make up for it with basic skills. As long as the basic skills are solid enough, he will have a chance to put the ball into the basket if you don't block him.
Kobe also said in the T.N.T live broadcast room: His growth and learning abilities are phenomenal.
He has a unique shooting and attacking rhythm, which makes those who defend him uncomfortable. When he first joined the league, this little guy didn't know how to shoot. Especially when shooting with the ball in confrontation, it was very bad. Chapter 2
A year's mid-range shooting percentage of more than 30% is a good illustration of all this. But look at it now, he has become one of the best mid-range shooting masters in this era.
He is definitely the most underrated superstar in this league!
As if to confirm these words of Kobe, Leonard's personal performance can be called a classic, especially since he does not do everything, but after playing for the Spurs for so many years, his tactical quality has already reached an extremely high level.
.You will see that for some goals that cannot be solved, or goals that must be scored and chased, you will see that he takes them and plays them without hesitation. This kind of calmness, decisiveness and determination are definitely something that Leonard did not have before. Tang Qian is not
I haven’t seen how Leonard played in the past. The two of them actually entered the industry at about the same time, both in the 11-12 season, so this guy has changed so much that he can afford the saying of "taking a look at each other after three days apart".
A classic Chinese ancient saying.
Especially the huge improvement in his attacking ability, which allowed him to completely sublimate this season and become a person who does not need to rely on the system, the team and the environment, and can score by himself. This type of attacking ability
The offensive mode that ignores the environment, the terrain, and the opponent's defense is Leonard's biggest improvement. So all of a sudden, the backbone of the Clippers team has been transferred, and this guy can also deal with teammates' blame balls in an orderly manner.
Or to put it more directly, this guy's style of play is a typical old-school classical style of play.
It's completely unlike the style of outside stars in this era.
This allows the Clippers to always find someone to attack when they encounter some offensive balls that cannot be solved. The key is that this guy doesn't even have to worry about it. Give him the level he will reach. This is probably the same as last year.
James in the playoffs can be compared with him. King in normal times is a bit far behind. Leonard has unconsciously begun to maximize his mental attributes. Therefore, Kobe said that he is a forward Duncan, which is not a lie.
Yes, at least on the court, he can bear this title.
There are breakthroughs in physical strength every year, but people often ignore it. It seems that there are only two FMVPs in the original time and space. You have to know that James, the so-called second player in history, only has three. And he is only 28
~29 years old. If one day, his championships and Finals MVP will surpass James, don't be surprised. Because he is such a low-key, except for the offseason transfer turmoil, it seems that there is not much about him.
There is no trace.
In this wave, the Clippers and Lakers were playing inextricably. Even though their team's Akron King seemed to be invisible, it did not hinder the emergence of this fierce battle. During a dead-ball timeout, Larry.
Brown arranged a play to suddenly help defend and double-team Leonard, but... this guy turned out to be so stable. He first attracted the ball and then released the ball. He made a tactical cut and then broke out. Pope in the bottom corner opened fire and scored.
.Then, with the outside attack on the outside, he overcame the Lakers' help defense, and using his slightly stuck rhythm and posture, he shot into the net and scored smoothly.
Then came the substitute time, which meant that during this period, the Lakers didn't take much advantage.
The substitute time passed quickly, because both sides quickly replaced the main players for the victory tonight. It seems that for the two teams, this game is what they want. To be able to win today
If they win their opponent late, they are willing to lose one or two games later. In a city derby, both sides are determined to win.
During a timeout, Nick Young complained: Why is he suddenly turning into Jordan Kobe?
Is he so good at attacking the ball now? I didn't see him play like this in the Spurs before.
Weird!
Not surprising, this is because he has grown up. Tang Qian has finally come out of his slight shock. He still made too many balls for his teammates before, thinking that everyone's performance would be enough to destroy the opponent. What is James thinking? He
I can see it too. I thought the winner would be decided easily, but how did I know that a frame-stuck version of Jordan suddenly appeared?
The key is Leonard.
Is this still Leonard?
Tang Qian looked at the guy who was almost having an interview, and suddenly became very interested in him.
You must know that in the past in this team, he was only interested in No. 23, Brother Big Eyebrow, and he didn't have many cards here. But tonight, he completely saw a different side of No. 2. Now
He was enough to make Tang Qian pay attention.
Tang Qian went up and spat some trash talk, trying to disrupt his rhythm and mentality, but found... it had no effect at all.
This No. 2 is as if he is deaf. Whatever you say, he is...
The "..." I typed is what Leonard said and responded to the trash talk.
Peat, you really are as good at this as that Dudu.
This is no joke. Leonard was incredible in this year's playoffs, and he even changed teams and won the championship. All kinds of key goals, all kinds of difficult shots that were surrounded and suppressed, if it weren't for him
He finally won the championship, but I'm afraid not many people will take a serious look at his superb performance this season. To a certain extent, he is better than James in 2018, or at least on par. After all, basketball is
A winner's game. If you lead the team to win to the end, then you are awesome.
I have to blame you, James, for not sticking around for one more year, so that he would have a chance to defeat Yu Yuyong head-on.
It's a pity that the opportunity was given to others. Of course, it is also possible that the Cosmos team will not be able to see it. The Eastern Conference was greatly strengthened that year and was a level better than James' opponents in 2018, so it is hard to say anything. Leonard's ability to attack tough situations is his
The biggest change of the season is that without this, he would not have been able to lead the team to win the championship in the original time and space. During the timeout, Butler of the Lakers was known as "Little Leonard", and he was very depressed and murmured: "What's wrong with this guy?"
Has he evolved again? Have you made a mistake? Why are you so far behind Leonard, even though we are both human beings?" Butler didn't feel that he was much worse than Leonard at first, and he even always felt that the scoring abilities of the two were almost the same.
, Leonard was seriously injured last year, and he even felt that the gap between himself and this man would be narrowed. You have to know, among contemporaries, if you are called "little XXX", it is not a compliment. How do you hear it?
uncomfortable.
But the rapid evolution of his attack ability made Butler feel a chill in his heart.
He knew that he might not be able to improve to this level of attack ability in his lifetime.
They are all professional players, he can't fool himself.
Tang Qian patted Butler on the shoulder and said: "Don't be frustrated Jimmy, you have to remember that you have many more core rings than he does. If he doesn't have a ring, you can lend him one to play with."
Said, Butler immediately felt much better and thought to himself, yes, so what if he is better than me? Isn't it that he can't win the championship? Isn't he not a winner?
Just spray him with the ring!!!
Having said that, the situation still made Tang Qian feel a little unexpected. Mainly because when he calculated the combat effectiveness before, he still ignored this Spurs-type facial paralysis, thinking that this was the Clippers' third scoring point.
.But now it seems that my views need to be readjusted.
Leonard suddenly turned his back and cut inside to break through. He is the kind of person who squeezes people's bodies to get in for layups. And he doesn't jump high. He just relies on the rhythm and feel of his shot. He can hit it in. Here he is.
The Lakers were a little intimidated by his momentum, and Westbrook was a little over the top again tonight. There is no way to avoid it. If you want to use Westbrook, then you have to take the above factor into consideration. Tang Qian called a
After a short pause, he went up and established his core style of play.
At this time, it is not the time to be humble and revitalize the team. You must suppress this guy's momentum, otherwise the opponent's momentum will be boosted. Now the time for ability to be stuck has long passed, and you must force yourself to defend.
Tang Qian's Jordan felt a huge impact all of a sudden, but the force was used just right. It didn't make him roll over, it just made his center of gravity unbalanced. Then he turned sideways and broke through directly along the baseline. Then he pulled out
Get up and dunk!
It's not that easy! As a top helper in protecting the basket, Davis, one of his tasks tonight is to keep an eye on No. 29. With Tang Qian coming like this, he naturally quickly went over to help defend. At the same time, Leonard
He quickly took up his position to prevent No. 29 from passing the ball in and out. Leonard's defensive talent and defensive awareness are so good, and his position is exactly the best position for Tang Qian to release the ball. Plus
With his pair of super long arms, the possibility of interference in passing the ball is very high. Even if he passes it reluctantly, the effect will not be very good. But Tang Qian didn't even think about passing the ball! He seemed to have a handle on the ball.
The giant axe! With a "bang", it hit hard. Davis failed to block the ball and was hit by a one-handed slap in the face from his opponent!
Fortunately, at this time, there were no more whistles. Otherwise, according to the previous standards, I might have to pay a foul.
But Leonard didn't pay attention at all. He still wanted the ball for himself, and then faced the defense and shot directly in.
Of course, Tang Qian didn't waste any time. He asked for the ball, turned around, and then shot a skyhook against Jordan's defense. The basketball hit!
Leonard faced George at a 45-degree angle on the wing and made a somewhat stuck version of crossover. The action was a bit strange, but it was effective. When George was defending, he felt that the rhythm made him uncomfortable. But he still played the ball
Very smart, he immediately blocked Leonard's offensive line, and then asked his teammates on the other side to come over to help defend and encircle him. But Leonard suddenly exerted force with his right foot, just like this, he withstood George's defense, using his body
The confrontation opened up a space, then he took one step to protect the ball, then two steps, his right hand was almost straight, and then he made an underhand throw. The basketball passed Tang Qian's defense and hit the board into the net.
This kind of ball is very difficult. It requires a very strong feel when shooting. Without strong basic skills, it is either impossible to stick to the three or extremely crooked. It seems that this guy really has a set of basic skills on the outside. Really.
, a bit interesting. Tang Qian went over, forced the basket, and made 2 of 2 free throws! Jordan and the referee said, Brother referee, this is a whistle, he should be sentenced for a foul. The referee ignored it because the signal above was
, give this No. 29 enough care and first-class treatment.
The joke is that he is such a two-sided person. He wants to please the big boss of the league and introduces rules to restrict Tang Qian. At the same time, he wants to continue to consolidate the Chinese market and continue his god-making plan of this era. Everyone
The presidents of the league all want to leave their own mark on the league. David Stern has already created many stars of his era, including Black and White, Air Jordan, Jordan's successor Kobe Bryant, and the favorite LeBron.
James. If you look carefully, more than half of the top ten in history were sent in by this former president. This is his mark of the times. Joke wants to create his own, so first he will do the big data era, and then the universe.
Team, now it is naturally Tang Qian's turn. In fact, James has not been as good as before since he came to the joke era. Because after all, he is a star-maker in the previous era, no, he is a god-maker. And he is already a
It is declared that the attack on Jordan has failed, so unless he can defy nature, he will not be able to live an extremely comfortable life in this new era of presidents. Because of the joke, his combination of the Big Three is now a mess, and he can't take much advantage.
.
The original goal of Time and Space Joke is to create a super dynasty, and this goal is Team Universe.
He has not given up on the Space-Time Cosmos Team. Making several moves has always been a common problem for him, but right now, his main focus has been on creating the "new god" of his own era, that is, No. 29 Tang Qian of the Lakers. Tang Qian
From being a substitute to the present, his potential has been solid step by step without any tricks, and he has no tattoos. The main negative news is that he does not have many laces, but he is considered an international high-quality idol. In addition, he has huge market potential behind him and has won three consecutive championships.
The impressive results are enough to make people laugh and tilt the league's resources towards him. And no matter how good James is, he is the product of David Stern, not his own.
So even if he couldn't withstand the joint pressure from his bosses and introduced Tang Qian's rules, he still wanted to take care of Tang Qian. It was such a contradiction. Of course, it was not that he really liked and cared about Tang Qian, it was just that he really liked and cared about Tang Qian.
For him, Tang Qian is now the item that he has the best chance of successfully creating a god. As long as it is strong, he will continue to praise it. If one day he finds that it is no longer working and a new potential newcomer appears, then he will also
He was abandoned very decisively. He has a business mentality and is very good.
So it's not really a favor. After all, the NBA has been taking care of the league's appearance for so many years, so it's nothing special.
Leonard asked for the ball from a wing waist position, and then blocked George behind him to hit the ball in the middle.
There are three post-up positions, one is a high post, one is a mid-post, and one is a low-post. The English corresponding to them are High-post, Mid-post, and Low-post. Leonard except the first type
, now the latter two have been practiced to an extremely strong level when everyone is not mentally prepared. This ball is a typical mid-post, stuck in position, receiving the ball with your back, relying on the body to squeeze out space, allowing the opponent's
After the center of gravity was knocked away, he suddenly turned around with the ball, turned his back heel, and then took a big step with his front foot. In an instant, the front foot turned into a back foot during the rotation, and then with the help of the force and inertia of the confrontation, he jumped up.
The whole person usually leans back and shoots from mid-range. This is definitely one of the old-school main outside superstar plays, and now it has become a killer move for Leonard. It is still a frame-blocking rhythm, not too fast, but it is
With his own range of habits and his super long arms, ordinary opponents are unable to block the shot. They can only try their best to interfere with their hands. George did this, but the basketball was still under the former's expressionless face.
, responded to the network.
That's great, this guy, I really underestimate you, but... you still can't win.
Tang Qian's main position was to hold the ball near the free throw line to provide support, but it was just a cover. Suddenly, he changed from a support hand to a sideways skyhook that directly got up! Davis had no time to come over to help defend this ball. Basketball
Directly hanging the basket into the net. After Tang Qian scored, he glanced at the Clippers' No. 2, said nothing, and retreated. Because for this kind of facial paralysis man, talking is a waste of words, and you can only defeat him with facts.
, the war of words is basically meaningless.
Since it was meaningless, Tang Qian didn't bother to complain and just played ball.
After Leonard held the ball, he did a standard Jordan-style back-up, one-handed, straight-arm grab. This action was once one of Kobe's most envious moves. No. 24 can also play it, but he requires a relatively long preparation and has a high turnover rate.
Gao cannot be regularized. But the former can use his big hands to play this trick and do whatever he wants. George is also angry. He doesn't want anyone to come to help, he just wants to defend alone. After all, Leonard's attack ability was not very good before.
, I can’t say that I can eat him like this. Seeing George gesture like this, the entire Lakers team has not passed. Stars have their own tempers and self-esteem. It’s just the regular season. It’s not good if you don’t give others face. It can easily affect the locker room.
The atmosphere. George looked at the eyes of Clippers No. 2. Although these eyes were looking at him, he could hardly see much emotion in them. This guy and Duncan are good at psychology, so you can't see it at all.
It's different from the "emptiness" where you can't see things. He has a calm and even frozen feeling. It seems that he is really a robot without human emotions. It's not like Duncan who makes you unable to see through, but
He just doesn't have much human emotion.
Damn, you look down on me??? George was also angry. This look made him feel extremely uncomfortable, as if he was a transparent person in the eyes of the former. After all, he was also a forward defender for many years.
Master! Do you really think you are facing some high school student cabbage? But his seriousness did not help him block the robot in front of him. Leonard seemed to have no heartbeat, just like a designed program, with one collision and one step,
Then there is another frame-stuck version of leaning back!
Don't think about... me, fuck!!!!!!!
It turns out that the moment he pounced, he was in trouble. The opponent was making a fake move because the frame was stuck, so it was difficult for you to judge. George was hit by the move and was directly pushed forward by the opponent. The referee blew the whistle and the ball almost went in.
The stability of shots after confrontation is really high.
This is the most standard way to cause damage and create a foul, and it has nothing to do with the porcelain. If you jump up, it means you made a defensive mistake and deserved to send your opponent to the free throw line. It is a technique that can be used in any era to create damage from outside.
.2 made 2 free throws. James looked on, not knowing what to say, or in other words, now everyone has forgotten that the Clippers also have a historical super giant LeBron. James is there. All attention is on James.
On Nader.
Tang Qian attacked again, and Jordan left the field with six fouls. He made 1 of 2 free throws.
Leonard made an emergency stop from mid-range.
Tang Qian would not hesitate and continued to play. He held the ball in the low post and then turned around to attack. And because Jordan had already gone down, no one could come over to resist Tang Qian. Davis came over to help defend this ball.
He was directly grabbed by Tang Qian and angrily dunked from the front. He fell to the ground! A goal was counted, and a foul was added as a penalty!
Without a human shield, Davis suddenly felt his own desolation. He couldn't stop this guy when he charged, and his defense was almost useless. Going up front? Then his tonnage and strength were too different, and he was still being held up by his opponent.
It's easy to score! So this is what Kobe Bryant suggested before. The Clippers only have one young Jordan as a human shield, which is not enough. They must have another big center with physical fitness to support him. Otherwise, Jordan will be gone as soon as he goes.
It's time to take a break.
Jordan's departure became a turning point in this game. Tang Qian continued to miss no goals in sports games, so no matter how strong Leonard was, he was unable to recover. The Lakers ended up scoring 139-134 in this game.
Scored 5 points.
Tang Qian scored a season-high 58 points, 20 rebounds, 7 blocks and 7 assists in this game. The last wave of superstar ball taking away the game was the key to the Lakers' victory tonight. On the opposite side, Leonard scored
He scored a high of 41 points, and the final offensive and defensive confrontation between him and Tang Qian became a classic scene tonight. As for James, there was almost no sense of presence in the fourth quarter.
His punishment was of no use to Leonard.
Tang Qian said something after the game that made James tremble with anger:
The teammates King has found this time are very strong. I admit they are very strong, stronger than ever before. They are so strong that he can continue to lead the team against us even if he becomes invisible. Congratulations to him, he has become a great contributor to open up space for Leonard.
made a huge contribution.
I hope that next time, Leonard can lead the whole team to have a good battle with us. Without a superstar, it is still close.
This is not to say... I am not the boss tonight! He is???
I am... the second child???
I, King James, am the second child???
James was so angry that he couldn't sleep well all night, because he didn't know if he had recruited such a strong teammate and was showing good intentions or not.
