"I said you didn't give me any pre-game talk today? This is not your emperor style." Tang Qian stood on the center circle and looked at Embiid in front of him and said something, but Embiid was just embarrassed.
, but didn’t say anything more. First of all, he felt that he was indeed not as good as No. 29. He couldn’t beat him and was shot in the head again and again, so there was really no need to look for slaps in the face. When would he be able to regain his position?
Let’s talk about it. Embiid likes to talk, but that doesn’t mean he likes to be abused.
And he has already vaguely felt a problem. His voice in the team is decreasing.
He has complained several times that he should hold the ball in the low post more, but the team did not seem to pay attention to his opinions. Instead, they straightened Simmons up. Forget it, he still needs assistants anyway. Although Simmons
There is no three-pointer, but other aspects are still good. But...if he becomes the first core, it will be a big problem.
Embiid absolutely cannot accept this. This is his bottom line.
Seeing such an honest Embiid, he was really not used to it. To be honest, he was originally prepared to quarrel with this Embiid, but his soft-playing style left a very unpleasant feeling in Tang Qian's mind.
A good impression. But the other party didn't give him this opportunity, because Tang Qian didn't feel the slightest pleasure in criticizing Embiid like this. Instead, he felt a bit like bullying.
Let’s wait and see when he makes himself hairy again.
The referee threw the ball, and Tang Qian got the ball immediately. The Lakers' fast break was simply unstoppable. Westbrook has become more and more familiar with the team's system. So as the No. 1 position, he controls the team's system.
He is very handy. And because of him, the Lakers' counterattack speed ranks first in the league. The feeling of rushing out like a cannonball is really unreal to people watching. Otherwise, how would he be called Westbrook?
What about Blitzkrieg? You thought the name was a joke.
Tonight, Tang Qian also gave Westbrook a task, to torture to death that second-year rookie who doesn't know the heights of the sky. What's the use of being tall? You don't dare to shoot at all. In that case, Westbrook will not die.
I'm sticking to you. Playing with the body, even if Simmons is a lot taller than Westbrook, it's just like that. Westbrook's impact and speed are not comparable to Simmons.
Moreover, Westbrook's speed is too fast, his center of gravity is low, and Simmons is too tall. Naturally, his lateral movement and center of gravity changes are not as good as Westbrook's, so he was beaten into a sieve by Westbrook time and time again. At the same time, Tang Qian had to face
He spat: "How about I ask Russell to slow down a little? Give you a little buffer?" Tang Qian's words made Simmons very angry. Being selected as an All-Star in his second year has already made his confidence explode. He thought
We are all star players, why are you treating me like this? If Simmons wants to play, the Lakers will defend in a targeted manner. Westbrook steps on the parallel defense to bully you without a basket. And you can see that when Simmons plays, the entire Los Angeles
The Lakers' defense has obviously shrunk a lot. What does this mean? Isn't the meaning very clear?
I'm just bullying you for not having a basket.
If you want to break through, how many breakthroughs can you make? The Lakers have a tough defensive team and the rim-protecting devil Tang Qian is inside. You can do whatever you want. Anyway, as long as you don't take long shots,
Then you can come as much as you want. Westbrook also praised last year's No. 1 pick and said, "Come and give it a try. You are so tall, you don't even dare to do this!"
Simmons was relatively calm at first, but after being beaten too many times, his mentality became a little unbalanced.
He wanted to defend Westbrook well, but unfortunately he couldn't stop him one-on-one. Westbrook's rush was not something that a small Simmons could stop. Compared with the explosiveness of his body, he was not even a little bit worse than the latter. Tang Qian even deliberately pulled away to let Westbrook teach this little rookie a lesson. As for Embiid, he could actually go up to provide cover, but I don’t know what he thought, but he didn’t do so. He just stood there. In the low post inside, he doesn't take the initiative to go up. This makes the one-on-one situation between the two sides fall into a one-sided situation. Simmons can actually easily hit a half-volume basket or a three-pointer from the top. Westbrook is more than ten centimeters shorter than him. , this can be completely ignored. But because there is no basket, he cannot take full advantage of this dislocation.
Isn't he famous for his versatility? In his rookie season, he had almost 16+8+8 data. He seems to have unlimited future, but it is a pity that this data is in front of the former triple-double king Westbrook. That is a gadget worth mentioning. A accurate three-pointer. A double? A quasi-triple-double with such a low score, don’t talk to me. I’ll teach you a lesson every minute by averaging a triple-double in a season. If you compare this aspect of the No. 1 position with me, then you’re asking for it. What a shame. Westbrook saw that the opponent was trying hard to defend himself, and the team opened the door for him. No. 29 also arrived outside the penalty area, preparing to receive the ball, so he had to hit the ball. If you vote, that's all his own business.
Westbrook also imitated Tang Qian's style and said domineeringly: "Why are you so serious? You can't guard against me anyway."
Simon's eyes were on fire. He was a young man in the second grade after all, and his desire for survival began to radiate from his face. However, this did not have any effect. I saw Westbrook break through with a big stride, and followed suit. When he took a step forward, there was no change of direction. He just passed by Ben Simmons in a flash. Westbrook is so horizontal. Some people even asked this question, why does Westbrook rarely change direction when dribbling? Is it him? I'm not very good at dribbling. This... how should I put it? Actually, it's nothing else. You can pass it in one step. Why do you have to do so many tricks? This is a professional game, not street basketball. Look at James. Does he also change direction? Why does he just rush straight into the tank? In terms of threat, isn't he the most lethal outside line?
Westbrook's finishing touch was still poor, but if you look at his passing, there is a very vivid metaphor. He directly uses a supercar to violently overtake the family car in front of him in a straight line. There are no skills. He just kicks the accelerator. , and then you are thrown away, so when you look at his ball, it feels like his breakthrough speed is always a few gears faster than others. Even as many people say, Westbrook has so many breakthroughs, but not much at all. Use a change of direction. Generally, it means a quick stop and a quick start, one more prayer, and then... the defender will have no position.
Why don't you change the direction? To put it bluntly, if you can just go in, why bother?
This is a professional competition. If you don’t go in directly, they will let you in directly. At this time, the simpler, the better.
Therefore, Westbrook's ball was just a pause while holding the ball, and then with a "bang", he passed Simmons completely. This speed, this simple breakthrough without any fancy, completely treated the defender as nothing. Even Tang Qian was secretly stunned when he saw this speed. If he were to defend him from outside the three-point line, it would probably be an offense that would make his center of gravity and lateral adjustment useless in one step. If it weren't for his shooting talent It is really limited, this guy will probably be terrifying. Sure enough, God is still fair. Generally speaking, internal and external linemen like Jordan Chamberlain are not easy to produce.
"I passed it in one step. Can you give me a sense of accomplishment?" Westbrook easily scored the goal. When he attacked, he was not afraid of confrontation at all. Unless he was blocked, he could only pray for him to make a layup.
Didn't score. After all, compared to those top guards, Westbrook's finishing ability at the basket is still a bit worse. He is only 59% in his career, and only 53% in the playoffs. This shows the problem. Generally speaking,
With his one-step breakthrough ability, this shouldn't happen. The problem can only be attributed to Westbrook's hands being really hard.
But this season the Lakers have many offensive threats, and the space and system are perfect in creating space. Therefore, Westbrook's breakthrough shooting percentage this season has reached a career high of 68%. Perhaps he still has to finish the basket with some top monsters.
It can't be compared, but compared to himself, it's already a lot better. Simmons was a little unstable. Westbrook felt that the ball was being passed and directly stretched out his hand to steal it. Then he saw him alone and under his feet.
As if it was lit on fire, he immediately rushed out.
The rest of the Lakers were too lazy to pass. Anyway, no one can match his speed in this regard.
It's too fast. Don't waste your energy.
Boom~ another dunk.
Not to mention, Westbrook was probably excited again, so even though he saw that the opponent was coming to help defend him, he still chose to continue to break through. The rhythm of holding the ball changed, and he suddenly kicked the ground with his right foot.
The whole person was like a supercar, soaring directly to 120 yards!!! Damn! Simmons was also going crazy. He was counting on his teammates on the other side. As a result, before his teammates had time to encircle them, they were already rushing forward.
Go in, then take off to attack the basket.
The speed of this ball is too fast, just like a slingshot, it shoots out with a "swish". Compared with this naked shot, there is no fancy shot at all. Looking at the entire history of the NBA, there are probably not many people who can compete with him.
On par. Even just the first step of acceleration, he will be the best in the league, unrivaled by anyone in active service.
It's a pity... Westbrook is like this. He kept hitting, but the ball suddenly stopped going in. It was obviously a good opportunity to attack the basket. Although Embiid jumped, the interference was not great. With his ability
Enough to resist. However, I don’t know if I rushed too fast and forgot to hit the brakes. This time, I was thrown out for a layup. The Lakers fans immediately exuded "Oh" after watching this ball.
"The voice. But when you watch Westbrook play, you should be used to it. Instability is Westbrook's biggest problem. And he can dunk often, how do you expect layups to be as stable as a dog?
This makes it a little difficult for you to make things difficult for our Dawei Shao.
Westbrook was about to get upset and was about to land and look for an opportunity to interfere with the ball, but he only heard a loud bang on his head, and someone appeared on the scene. No. 29 from the Lakers, Tang Qian succeeded with a two-handed dunk.
At the same time, you can hear that Tang Qian said to the former before the basket: crooked ~ I said brother ~ Tonight, you don’t want to grab me.
