Tang Qian saw that Harden was dying. To be honest, he was quite disappointed. Because such a strong super scorer was actually stumped by a simple double team? It was not a double team without the ball.
You got the ball, okay? Your performance is a bit too good. Even Tang Qian has to say that before this era, several super scorers couldn't play one against two? This is basically the case for super scorers.
It’s a standard ability. But now, there are several super scorers who can’t play well in one versus two. I don’t know if times have changed or what.
You don't have to integrate offense and defense, but you can't say that you can't handle the burden of scoring.
This is a serious injury.
Harden can actually be pressed down on the offensive end, and this is especially obvious in the playoffs. In the regular season, there are not too many double-teams that keep you in trouble. But in the playoffs, it is very likely that when the intensity increases,
Your teammates just can't hit, so you need to hit. At this time, people also know that you are going to hit, so they will definitely increase the intensity of defending you. If nothing else, just free throws, Harden will be the best in the playoffs.
It dropped by about 1 to 2 points compared with the regular season. Some series dropped even more. Then compared with the regular season, the points dropped, seriously. This is based on the fact that the number of shots does not drop. If you take a large number of shots
For example, when Kobe Bryant had a 35-point season and scored 27+ in the playoffs, his shots dropped from 27+ to 20+. If his shots dropped by 6 to 7 times, it would be impossible for your score not to drop. Another example is going to
In James' first year in Miami, his postseason regular season statistics have dropped significantly compared to the Cavaliers' period. This is also caused by the drop in shot numbers. It is not that they suddenly changed their skills. There is a reason for this. If you give them
The original number of shots will never drop like this. As for Harden, you can see that there is almost no change in the number of shots in the regular season and playoffs, so if he doesn't play well, that is entirely his own problem.
Therefore, this is one of the simplest answers why his style of play cannot lead the team to a breakthrough in the playoffs.
The simplest example is that the Rockets made 0 of 27 shots in the tiebreaker. That period of history must be regrettable for all Mosaic fans. If it were more accurate, wouldn't it be a win? Wouldn't it be a victory over the Universe? Otherwise, it would be a championship.
Oh? Well, it's a pity that it's not allowed. But here we have to single out Harden and talk about it. When the team was going crazy for three-pointers, he didn't even think about standing up and taking over the game. What he did,
He also missed three-pointers. Even though he scored 6 points in the last five minutes of the fourth quarter, he was already ten points behind. And Durant scored 8 points with a 100% shooting rate in the last five minutes.
points, Harden can only rush.
But there is a problem here. Harden shot 13 three-pointers in this game and scored 2 three-pointers. He made 12 of 29 shots in the game. Very good, here comes the simple math question, 29 minus 13 equals 16.
Then among these 16 2-pointers, he actually made 10. What is the shooting percentage when 10 is divided by 16? 62.5%! This is Harden's 2-pointer. But he just wants to compete with himself, but he just can't.
If he stands up and plays two points, he will lose three points. Then he will watch the team fail in the tiebreaker. This is a situation where the Warriors ignore him and have no high-intensity restrictions. If there is a double team, beating the Jazz is a typical example. The Jazz is the favorite
One of the teams that is pinching Harden, so playing Mosaic No. 13 on the Jazz will greatly reduce efficiency and data.
Right now, Harden is also being driven crazy by two people. He feels that his state is getting away from him little by little, but he doesn't want to pass the ball at this time. Of course... no one in the entire Mosaic team wants Harden to pass the ball.
When the ball comes, they all go to cut and intersperse, or they open up at fixed points and serve as a tool for Harden. This is a place that is also ignored. Harden's singles require mobilizing the resources of the entire team. To put it simply,
, Take Harden playing against the Jazz, the most classic singles scene is that Harden holds the ball in the top arc and then dribbles. He doesn't like triple threats so much. At this time, what are the other Mosaic players doing? Ariza stands
On one side, Tucker stands on the other side, and Paul stands at a 45-degree angle. Generally speaking, it is a 45-degree angle on the weak side, which is also pulled away. Then, you will see Capella or simply pull away and get out of the way.
In the middle, or if the opponent wants to double-team Harden, then Capela's job is to go up and pick-and-roll, and then use his ability to attract the opponent's double-team players away. Or he can use the pick-and-roll to give No. 13 a mismatched single.
Did you find any problems here?
If you have never played a formal game, or if you have never heard a coach lay out on-field tactics, it may be a bit difficult to think of this question. Because you have no concept and awareness of this aspect. But for those who have played, or have been coaches themselves, then they
You will definitely see something. Yes, that is, although this team seems to be a strong singles team, but... it is the entire team that is working hard for the Mosaic team's No. 13. In other words, on the scene
The entire team, everyone except Harden, has become functional.
And their functional purpose has only one purpose, and that is... to allow a certain great Magneto No. 13 to maximize his so-called super singles ability. But as mentioned before, singles should be the least resource-intensive.
This is an offensive method. Generally speaking, it is the team that cannot open up, so this person is the final and final solution.
Even Jordan's triangle offense didn't do this. They played as a team in the first three quarters, and finally solved the problem with the so-called "let Jordan do comfortable singles". But this team is just the opposite. Harden is on the contrary.
He played very fiercely in the first three quarters, but in the critical fourth quarter, we often didn't see much of him in singles. Isn't this contradictory? It's not contradictory. People's triangle offense is a flowing triangle. Even Jordan is the same.
What is inside this triangle is just the largest end point.
It's because the team can't play, so he needs to answer the question.
What about Harden's singles? That's completely different. What's his situation? The whole team has to follow him and maximize the configuration for him. That's why you have a player who is so strong in singles, but he always
It’s the feeling of not being able to exert strength at critical moments. This is simply a paradox, because normally, the stronger you are in singles, the less you need to use equipment at critical moments, and the more you can stabilize your military morale. But Harden lacks all-round capabilities.
After the team's configuration supports him, his singles will fall into a situation where he is not working well. After all, Kobe only has the magic spell of tiebreakers. He almost loses the chain at critical moments. Because he is too big and takes over the team's ball rights too much.
Let me tell you if you don’t believe it. Harden’s singles play does not rely on assists at all. Specifically, his assist rate is pitifully low. It is only more than ten percent. What is this concept? Here is an example.
In the season where Kobe averaged 35+ points per game, he also had a terrifying number of singles. Including post-up singles, the number of singles is basically the highest in the 21st century. But even so, Kobe's scoring assist rate this season is still as high as 43.8.
%. To put it simply, it is 2~3 times that of Harden. What does this mean? Isn’t it that the lower the better, the stronger it proves? NONONO~ This is definitely not the case. This data actually means that Harden is basically
…
No ability to score off the ball.
In other words, apart from playing with the ball, he has no offensive threat.
He can't move without the ball to break the defense, nor can he use teammates' passes to double-team, which is why this data is so pitifully low.
Kobe's assist rate was around 40% in his peak period, and his career rate was around 30% to around 45%. No idea? Look at Curry, a master without the ball. You know his assist rate.
What is the power? In fact, it is about 40%. Therefore, those who keep saying that Kobe is not good without the ball have not really studied these real high-level data. They are all talking without evidence. And these are all
It is a purely natural, pollution-free, non-artificial formula, so the credibility is 100%. There is no subjectivity. It is what it is. So if nothing else is mentioned, if you really add a strong ball-free environment to Kobe, you can definitely tell
You can 100% plug and play. Refer to the efficiency of Kobe and Nash without the ball in the 12-13 season. Although it was only a dozen games, it was because Nash was injured, and it was later proven that the data was good, but he couldn't win.
Ball, so I changed my play style back on the 24th. But I can still get a glimpse of the situation. In the first dozen or so games without the ball in the early season, I averaged 26.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 52.8% and a three-point shooting percentage of 40.5%.
, the free throw percentage was 89.4%, and he averaged 9.4 hits in 17.8 attempts per game. During that period, No. 24’s assist rate was even more off the charts.
If you combine Kobe's career assist rate, you can get the answer very clearly. Kobe is definitely a strong player without the ball that has been delayed. There is absolutely no incompatibility problem like light bulbs. Why do you think light bulbs are incompatible? Ugh,
Let’s not talk about the reasons for the two people’s falling out. Let’s talk about the data. James Harden’s assist rate is so low, which shows that he doesn’t want to play without the ball at all. There is also a data that intuitively describes Harden’s playing style on the court.
.That is, once James Harden does not play with the ball, he is basically not very good at playing. The proportion of his shots without dribbling is 9.2% of the total shots. And the proportion of his shots that he dribbles 7 times or more
, you see clearly, the proportion of shots that were dribbled 7 times or more accounted for 50% of the total shots! The exact number is 50.4%. So, do you still feel wronged and shocked?
Jordan's off-ball ratio and assist rate are higher than Kobe's. What do you think?
As I said, in one-on-one situations with the ball, Beard is indeed the outside king under the current rules, and there is nothing wrong with that. But when he is not holding the ball, whether it is offense or defense, he is a "telephone pole". He is a bit fat.
"Telephone pole". That's it. Don't, don't, it's really not bad. Look at James Harden's off-ball mobile data. He has been among the top three slowest moving players in the league since he came to the Rockets. Okay.
, to be precise, it is not the top three, it has been the top two in the past four or five seasons. This is accurate enough. Very good, many people said, oh, our brother Deng is just lazy on the defensive end, but he is still good on the offensive end.
Extremely sharp. He relies on offense to make a living.
Well, let's talk about offense. In the past few seasons, Harden is still the top three defenders in terms of offensive speed.
Well, they are just the top three. The Original Spacetime will be the first to win this honor next season.
The exact figure is, 3.86 miles per hour.
So, what do these cold, non-artificial formulas and artificial data illustrate? It illustrates that James Harden is almost "James-like" as long as he doesn't hold the ball. Even more so than when James doesn't hold the ball.
James.
At least he will recover in the playoffs, but he will only be worse in the playoffs.
Therefore, a season has passed, and Tang Qian and Larry Brown have slowly figured out the offensive routine of No. 13. Basically, as long as he can master his so-called face-to-basket singles that is unrivaled in the world, he will be useless.
Moreover, his so-called unparalleled singles performance in front of the basket cannot be played one on two or more than one. In this way, if he is angry and unable to play, the Mosaic team will definitely die.
It's just that it's still his first season, and Harden hasn't recognized himself yet. He has also been deceived by his so-called average of 37+ per game. So so far, he still thinks that he has reached the level of Djoko's guard scoring.
Personally, I can't stop myself. At least if I have to fight, I can definitely fight. But the result is so cruel. Without the support of the whole team, if he doesn't play reasonably, his scoring efficiency will plummet.
. His one-on-one shot is amazing now, but his one-on-two shot has never been that good. There are very few such shots. If you don’t break through, his one-on-two shot will be a disaster.
I remember that there was a very popular post called Harden should practice one-on-two skills. It was posted by Harden fans after Harden was eliminated. This should be a more realistic portrayal. So Harden, Tang Qian
I still thought it was quite confusing before. I felt a little bit intimidated by this guy's average of 378 points per game. In addition, his magic ability extended to beyond the three-point line. For a while, I really had no clue. But after one season,
, Tang Qian slowly peeled off Harden's halo coat, and he saw something different. And this thing immediately made Harden become ordinary in front of him.
Let me tell you something that Time and Space No. 24 has not said yet, that is...he can't win the championship if he plays like this.
The probability is too low.
Because of his scoring methods, he ate up too many resources from the team, because his singles were not the kind of singles that did not consume resources. Instead, they became the most resource-consuming singles in history. In this way, the meaning of singles,
Where? Moreover, his one-on-two ability was so poor, which further strengthened Tang Qian's judgment on his future prospects. Tang Qian scored another one-on-two, turned around, and hit the basket with a sky hook.
With his body tonnage and area occupied, two such insiders from your Mosaic team can't stop him at all. Capela is too light, and at 240 pounds, he is just a paper man in Tang Qian's eyes. As for Griffin, he is athletic
The ability is good and the tonnage is okay, but... his hands are too short. The standing reach is 267CM... only the level of Jordan Kobe. Tell me, is it a tragedy? He is not a defender.
There is no human shield, so it is even more difficult to block.
And now someone has finally discovered this problem, that is, Tang Qian's hook, including the sky hook, is more stable and confrontational than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. This is because his tonnage is larger, his wingspan is longer, and his reach is higher.
High, the confrontation and bullet speed are even higher. Combined, Tang Qian is in his first season with Skyhook, and his Skyhook level is already close to catching up with the peak of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in actual combat.
It's not that Jabbar can't do it, it's that Jabbar doesn't have the physical condition of Tang Qian.
The body is the guarantee of skill. This is not a casual saying. Sometimes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar looks at this kind of physical fitness and feels that if he could have it, what would others have done? Jordan would call himself Sky Gou Daddy.
Therefore, with the addition of his body, although Tang Qian has not practiced for that long now, his stability is catching up with the peak sky hook. It has not surpassed it, but this level is scary enough. After Tang Qian scored this goal, he returned
When I was guarding, I happened to miss No. 13 of the Mosaic team. I opened my mouth and said:
You have let me down too much.
This simple sentence suddenly triggered Harden's nerves. He suddenly became angry tonight and shouted hysterically: "Aren't you just in better physical condition than me? You have
"You can beat three with one." It was originally a popular saying, thinking that this would make the opponent stop being so crazy and make myself feel better. But who knew... the other party seemed to hear it, and turned around and said it to James Harden.
:"Okay."
Okay? Ah? What's okay? One versus three? Harden was a little stunned. He made a direct dribbling error. Fortunately, Paul led the team to retreat early, and then suppressed a quick counterattack by the Lakers. Of course, it was also the Lakers.
The team's Westbrook went to rest, otherwise, Paul retreated early on this ball, and it probably wouldn't have been a big deal. After Tang Qian passed by, he positioned his waist and started to ask for the ball. Almost at the same time, Mosaic team's No. 13 seemed to
Like a sharp sword, he rushed over, then looked at No. 29 and said: "Then just give me a beating and see."
"Tyrant Tang~ You should give me a beating!"
One-on-three is indeed very difficult to play. Even if you lean back, your hit rate will drop significantly. If you use a sky hook, there is almost no room to use it. One-on-three, if you don't go deep into the basket and play under the basket,
Even Tang Qian would find it difficult to fight. If this is easy, it would be abnormal. Unless he opens...
Well, Tang Qian is preparing for this now. You guessed it.
It's the last game, and there's the last ability card. Using it up just puts an end to a perfect regular season.
Harden and the others are also "humanitarian", and they even let Tang Qian get the ball before double-teaming him. Of course, this is not because they have good intentions and suddenly become kind, but because Harden wants to let Tang Qian get the ball.
Tang Qian made an ugly appearance! He has already acquiesced that his scoring is no match for No. 29. He has never been a determined person, but he is a top super scorer and should be ranked high in history.
Damn it, you can't be done like this without saying a word of bullshit. After all, if the gray wolf escapes, you have to shout, I'm going to come back, right?
It's so shameless.
Then in Harden's expression full of malice, he saw what it means to be extraordinary.
Don't talk about him, the whole audience was excited by this man's beating. They have never seen such a fierce beating.
Harden is going to lose this ball in the ditch.
Double-teamed by three people, Tang Qian forced the shot... and entered.
Three people double-teamed him, and Tang Qian forced a hook...in.
Three people double-teamed him, and Tang Qian forced a fadeaway jumper... and it went in.
Three people double-teamed, Tang Qian dominated the tackle from a distance... entered.
Three people double-teamed him, and Tang Qian was forced into a corner and made a few blind shots at a negative angle... Go in, go in.
Then, amidst Bill MacDonald's crazy shouts, Tang Qian scored all kinds of incredible goals one after another. There was a ball that three people bumped into, knocking Tang Qian out for about a meter and a half.
They still... called in.
Let me go...what's going on here? The tyrant becomes braver as he fights! The tyrant responds with great energy!!!
Quanmi Live Broadcast said directly:
Needless to say, this battle, the regular season tyrant proved one thing, he and James Harden are not the same level of scoring players.
Harden averaged 37 points per game, but he can only get so much. But what about the Tyrant? He can get it whenever he wants, and he can get more at any time.
One on two, one on three, even if he was amazing tonight, he did it by himself. Why didn't the opponent do it? This is the gap in ability. There is no need to fight for the scoring king in the regular season. Who can
If you have any objections, I suggest you stick your face to the screen and take a good look at the game.
Harden's score tonight was only in the early twenties, and it is certain that he will be doubled by the tyrant again.
No, are you sure it's just a double kill? I think it's a triple kill.
I, my God, what you said is really... I really feel a moment of silence for Houston No. 13.
In China, there is a unified barrage. If Tang is born, why should Zhan be born?
Wait, wait, why Zhan? What do you mean by Zhan? Are you talking about one Zhan, or two?
There's no way around it. In a word, the Chinese language is broad and profound.
This game will be the epitome of Harden's season, and it will also be Harden's nightmare this season.
Well, the nightmare has just begun.
