The Spurs actually played well tonight. Overall, the touch was on point. The Lakers didn't let the ball go too far. They did play well overall. They made all the shots they should have made, and some that they shouldn't.
Those who went in were also shot. The toughness is still good, at least he did not give up easily. DeRozan scored a few three-pointers tonight, which is a very strange thing. After all, his three-pointers are known to everyone.
Everyone understands. Dang, dang, dang, is normal, and swish, swish, is abnormal.
The key is this section. The Lakers' outside touch is not good, and the Spurs can be regarded as Popovich's arrangement. They play very patiently on the offensive end. But when the opponent's outside is inaccurate, they can't control the rebounds.
Ah! Isn’t this terrible?
The Lakers' No. 29 used his height and rebounding skills to continuously destroy the Spurs' low-post rebounds. At this time, Spurs fans knew the significance of the existence of No. 21. Blocking and defensive rebounds, without Duncan, the Spurs
It is already riddled with holes. It is impossible for Aldridge to stabilize this situation. Moreover, Aldridge was born in 1985. Think about it, how old is he? Already 34 years old! Rebounds are declining.
Among them. He is not like Duncan. Except for the last season, he is just paddling in the regular season to prepare for the playoffs. If he really wants to exert his strength, he still has energy. In terms of rebounding, he really wants to exert his strength.
That's it. 8~9 rebounds is his current rebounding ability. The offensive rebounding ability that he is proud of has become worthless and meaningless because the opponent has No. 29. Seeing the Lakers'
On the 29th, he continued to perform well on the offensive rebounding side, and some people on the national live broadcast joked:
Aldridge now looks like an old man about to retire in front of the Eastern tyrant, his legs and feet are no longer agile enough.
No one in the entire Spurs team could stop No. 29 from running wild inside, especially when their No. 4 Davis Beilstein left the court with six fouls. The inside was even more empty, and Tang Qian's low-post rebounding talent was clearly visible.
.This kind of thing cannot be resisted by tactics. Unless you suppress Tang Qian, then you will not be able to control the rebounds in other places? The entire three-point line is so big, how do you know where the ball will fly? If
If you try to suppress Tang Qian, your ability to control rebounds in other areas will plummet, and the probability of other Lakers players getting rebounds will be greatly increased.
The Spurs are a bit concerned about one thing and the other. If you have a little more people and try to suppress No. 29's rebound, others will grab it. You should guard against the others. No. 29 shows off his power at the basket again. In this situation, it should have been Pop.
Vicky hoped, but instead gave the St. Anthony Spurs the final blow. Tang dived under the basket to get another rebound, and then took off for a dunk. Aldridge had no choice but to foul, and then went off the court with 6 defense. Then
The Spurs were completely empty inside. The Lakers made a wave of critical attacks. Westbrook, Tang Qian, and Butler jointly attacked the basket, a wave of 29-5, and the game completely entered garbage time. In the end, the Lakers scored 131-101.
, 30 points bloodbathed the opponent. Tang Qian scored 68 points, 31 rebounds, 9 blocks and 2 assists in this game. He won the game with abnormal data. This game also made his average points per game suddenly break through.
He averaged 30 points per game and surpassed James Harden's 35 points in the previous game, which was eclipsed by Tang Qian's side. This lead in scoring was nearly doubled! It was shocking to those watching.
All of a sudden, the media began to exaggerate the battle between No. 29 and No. 13 for the scoring champion. Then various media analyzes and various programs were quickly arranged. Don't tell me, the American emperor is very quick and sensitive in this regard. Not at all.
No procrastination. After the game, Larry Brown was interviewed. He didn't care what the regular season was like. Anyway, the Lakers were firmly in the playoffs, so he wouldn't interfere much with how the regular season was played on the 29th. Meaning, he
If you want to increase your statistics and compete for the scoring title, I don't care. I'm only responsible for the playoffs. In the regular season, our tyrant can play whatever he wants. You have the ability to contain him. Don't talk to me about these useless things. I won't care about it.
Something. And the atmosphere within our team is very good. If you say so, we will not be affected at all.
Harden also seemed to be stimulated. He also faced the St. Anthony Spurs in the next game and actually scored 60 points! At this time, the outside world exploded. Harden also directly accepted an interview and said: 60 points does not count.
What, I can get it if I want it. The Spurs are really unlucky, and Popovich found that in order to maintain the popularity of this topic, the league directly gave Harden more whistles. Why? This is for
Make this tit-for-tat drama even more impactful and topical. What’s the point of something that is one-sided?
That would also be bad for the ratings.
In this game, Harden made 17 of 18 free throws, 19 of 30 shots from the field, 63.3% from the field, and 5 of 14 from three-point range, scoring a game-high 60 points. In fact, Harden's touch was really good at the beginning.
It can't be said to be good, but later because the league began to give more whistles, Harden, who is so sensitive to whistles and scales, immediately reacted and began to take advantage of it, and the Spurs' defensive formation was almost collapsed.
, Aldridge, who performed well in the first quarter, got directly into foul trouble, and then nothing happened. Harden also felt it coming, and the opponents were afraid that he would continue to make mistakes, so they all shrank. Now the Mosaic team's No. 13 suddenly
Zi became more aggressive. His condition improved significantly, he hit consecutive hits, and finally took away the game.
No wonder Popovich was so angry after the game. He became the punching bag and human punching bag for Lakers No. 29 and Rockets No. 13. As an old guy with a high self-esteem, how could he tolerate this? He immediately got angry loudly,
He roared directly after the game: The league is deliberately allowing some people to brush up data! This is not a fair game at all!!!
But all he was given was a fine of $50,000. Of course, this was not the first time Popovich had roared, nor was it the first time he had been fined. It would not have happened. He dared to complain.
, that is, he is ready to pay. When Tang Qian heard this, he said directly: Anyway, he has earned so much money that he can't use it all, so it is better to spend it early.
Popovich was extremely angry, but now his team couldn't win, and he was the current hegemon of the league. If you were the first person to say anything, you would be criticized and regarded as a clown. He could only secretly swear
, saying that he must form a strong Spurs team, and then go back with revenge! He can break the three consecutive dominance of his O.K combination, is he still afraid of an Eastern player?
Thinking about him, I started thinking about poaching and trading people during the offseason.
Because he really has no hope for the Spurs this season. Neither DeRozan nor Aldridge is a superstar, let alone a historical giant like Duncan, and his magic power as the number one coach in active service has long been
As the Spurs' record continues to decline, more and more people are questioning whether they can win the championship without Duncan. This argument has gradually become more and more popular.
Especially this year, if the Spurs still fail to make the playoffs, it will definitely be inevitable.
But no one knows that the most fatal blow is not here at all, but...
An interesting data also came out. James Harden scored a 47-35-60 this week, currently averaging 47.3 points per game per week. Normally, there are 3 to 4 games in a week. As for Tang Qian, he played 47.3 points per game this week.
After two games, the third game against the Mavericks has not yet begun. At this time, the outside world has introduced this topic just to add fuel to the fire and make the duel between the two people even more heated.
Now that this is happening, everyone in the United States is almost paying attention to this matter. Tang Qian and Harden will fight even if they don't fight.
It's already possible to ride a tiger.
Tang Qian didn't talk nonsense. Facing this year's leveling tank team, the Mavericks, he showed his strong desire to attack from the beginning. Facing the Mavericks' center, he directly broke through from the flank and passed cleanly.
Remember the dunk. The center of the Mavericks this season is Salah Mejri, who is 218cm tall and from Tunisia. Even though he is only in the third grade, he is already very old. He is currently 32 years old and is only a member of the Mavericks.
There was really no one left, so I went to the European League to dig him up. This player is a typical European player. He protects the basket well, but is too slow and has poor athletic ability. Therefore, the Mavericks came to make up the number, etc.
They have completed their reconstruction, and it is definitely impossible for this person to stay on the team.
Averages of 3+3+1 per game are his statistics. If he could stop Tang Qian, then that would be awesome.
Furthermore, this guy is also a paper man. His height of 218cm is actually less than 240 pounds. To be honest, with this tonnage and this height, Tang Qian doesn’t need any technical moves at all. Just like playing rugby, he can just rush in and hold up.
Come on. Not to mention that this guy is very slow. It's a miracle that he can play in the NBA.
Salah Mejri can't stop this No. 29 at all. This guy's offense is just like hitting a middle school student when he is mainly defensive. And he doesn't use the legendary sky hook or single shot at all.
With his hands back, he just keeps hitting to the end, a simple breakthrough, a simple back-up, and then he can score. He has no choice but to foul. Even if he fouls with his strength, sometimes people will do it to you.
Go in.
If you want to flank him, two people will continue to fight. You can only make changes with three people. The key is that Dongfang No. 29's passing is so good, which makes him really impossible to defend.
When Tang Qian hit him, he just seized the opportunity, pushed it away, and then used his strength on the spot to slam the basket with both hands. He couldn't stop him, and the others couldn't stop him. They could only go up to the so-called twin towers to defend.
, that is, 211CM Dwight Powell. This guy's career statistics of 7+4 have reached the peak of 10+5 this season. He is good at finishing at the basket and finishing in front of the basket, but there is a problem... he is soft!
Very soft! When he entered the NBA, one of the scouting reports was that his style of play was soft and weak in confrontation, and needed to be improved. But after the four-year rookie contract, you will find that he still has the same style of play.
In order to maintain his mobility, he still did not improve the confrontation and style of play. Therefore, the two soft-pressing insiders combined did not cause much trouble to Tang Qian. Even the so-called 218+211 twin-tower lineup
, and he didn't take it seriously. Because O'Neal had already set a good example back then. If there was no human shield to withstand him, he would break through as many of them as they came. Look, there are more than a dozen O'Neal.
As you can see from the video, without tonnage, you will only be defeated step by step when facing such a powerful beast, without the ability to fight. You will be beaten to the point where you can’t stand still, and several people are useless.
.Unless you double-team without the ball, but double-teaming without the ball is not the last gamble. Who dares to do it? You really think that the rest of the Lakers are just decorations.
There are still three giants outside. If you fight like this, you will be beaten to death by the remaining people.
So you can only double-team with the ball, double-team with the ball, and you give him a chance to break the game. At this time, Tang Qian received an overhead arc pass from Westbrook, although Covington ran away from him once.
, trying to attract and take away the defender, but the person next to him did not leave the vicinity. When Tang Qian got the ball, he immediately shrank away. Tang Qian's ball directly showed his "king's dominance"
"Qi", turned around violently, like a big roller, knocked away the defense, exploded at high speed, jumped up from the ground, and dunked again!
BANG~~~~~Goal!!!!!!! And the whistle was given, a foul.
Tang Qian went to the free throw line and missed the extra free throw, but immediately gave the Mavericks' Doncic a breakthrough block. Doncic's so-called change of pace was of no use in front of Tang Qian. Because he found that no matter what
No matter how you change the rhythm, this guy just can't get up. Yes, the Rockets block shots and take advantage of the situation, which is a magic weapon to deal with this kind of rhythm. And players with this kind of rhythm generally don't have that strong physical fitness, otherwise they wouldn't be able to do it.
Choose this style of play. To be honest, there are only a handful of young people in the entire league who are in great shape and still choose to play in a healthy way.
Not everyone is like Wiggins.
Forget this goal, the key is the next two goals, which completely destroyed the confidence of the Mavericks players and made their defense against Tang Qian tonight completely chaotic. One of these goals was an alley-oop. You can see clearly.
Now, in order to curb Tang Qian's scoring, the Mavericks have directly added three players with a height of 211cm or above. They are Salah Mejri with 218cm, Dwight Powell with 211cm, and the newly replaced Maxi Koleber.
This is a German player, but he is a big shooter who does not like physical confrontation. He is 211cm tall, but his tonnage is only pitiful... 220 pounds!!! What is the concept of 220 pounds! This is completely a piece of paper.
Ah. These three people, Tang Qian, didn't force it, but suddenly asked for an alley-oop, turned around and went in the baseline, and there was an alley-oop dunk that threw everyone away!
Bang~~~ The three of them turned into idiots, completely unaware of what they were defending.
The second ball was even more extreme, and it was also a ball that completely hit the opponent head-on. Tang Qian gave the ball to Westbrook, and then went to the middle to provide support, but the support was false. He immediately retreated, accelerated, and threatened
The young master understood what he was thinking and hit the ball very quickly. There was a time lag in the ball, so that the rest of the Mavericks team had no time to delay Tang Qian. However, fortunately for this ball, their three-tower lineup was currently in the low post.
Nearby, you can rush over as quickly as possible to protect the basket.
But it was Carlisle's voice that directly deceived these three players tonight.
No. 29 did not slow down when he got the ball, but accelerated. Therefore, the ball hit the basket without any delay. You need to know the impact equivalent of No. 29 with no delay at all. Look at the next step.
You'll know it in seconds. In front of these three paper man insiders, Tang Qian's ball... was overwhelming. Then with a loud roar, he jumped into the air with one hand and slashed down with his tomahawk!!!!
!!!!!!!!
The ball was smashed into the heads of three people at once. Suddenly, everyone was dumbfounded. These three people didn't even have a chance to react. Unexpectedly, without the speed of the bullet, they became three idiots.
Large background board.
Suddenly, the whole place was excited, and there was almost no suspense about the game.
