Chapter 1956 The strange defense on the left side is coming
not to be trifled……
They didn't know this. Tang Qian also said the same thing before the start of the second game. And it was even more meaningful when it came from the mouth of the winner. Tang Qian's original words were, we will definitely play in the next game.
We need to let them know that we are not someone to be trifled with! It feels like the Los Angeles Lakers lost before. However, they actually won by 20 points. This can be considered as putting the game into garbage time.
Of course, the Mosaic team also felt that this was contempt, which added fuel to the fire, so some people stood up and said:
The Lakers are just putting on a show and deliberately teasing us! We won’t be fooled!
Having said that, the body is still very honest. If you look at their players' Twitter, you will know that they have actually been "fooled". As a team with two defenders as the absolute core, at least the calmness cannot be lost.
Because their position in the team is not pure scorers like Jordan and Kobe. They need to take on the organization and connection tasks of the team. How can people who do this kind of thing be hot-headed? Being hot means playing indiscriminately. Tang
Half of what he said was because he was really dissatisfied with the team's first game. He was very unhappy when they lost to the Clippers. The second thing is... he also meant that he wanted the Houston Mosaics to mess up their own situation.
.
For this kind of team where the defenders control everything, you only need to warm up their defenders and it will be much easier to play.
Except for the Lakers, the results of the rest of the games were also decided that year. In the Eastern Conference, the 76ers actually lost the first game to Detroit. Although the Pistons also entered the playoffs, well, if they were not in the Eastern Conference, they would be
It is absolutely impossible to get in. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the combat power at a glance. It is really weak. As the second seed in the Eastern Conference, it should be defeated. Unfortunately, the 76ers told you that it is not that simple. Well.
After Bede entered the playoffs again, he played a very mediocre game. He scored 22+15+4+5 in a single game, including 5 blocks. It seemed as if everything was perfect. Unfortunately, there were
One thing that cannot be ignored is that his 22 points were obtained by taking 18 free throws. As a result, his shooting percentage was very low. He only shot 33.3% in the whole game!
As a big center who scored almost 28 points in the regular season, this is really a bit unsatisfactory. The key is that even if he doesn't perform well, at least he is very strong on the defensive end. Another core player, Simmons, only scored 9 points.
The data of 7 rebounds and 3 assists. This is too much. Everyone knows that Xidi cannot score, but at least you can defend and assist. However, in this game, he was not only beaten by the defensive end, but his passing was also a mess.
He played more like a substitute than the team's substitute. Both core players played like this on the offensive end. It was really not easy for the 76ers to win. In the end, they lost to the Pistons in an upset 102-111.
People were shocked. The other game was between the Celtics and the Magic. In this game... unexpectedly, the Celtics lost!
The Bostonians lost to Orlando by 3 points! It’s a bit strange to see it this way. Stevens’ tactics actually achieved the effect in this game, which was to suppress the opponent’s inside center. This season he can score 20+12+4+
1 Eastern All-Star center Nikola Vucevic. Their players have also done this. Tonight, Vucevic only made 3 of 14 shots, a 21% shooting rate. He only scored 10 points in the game.
The score reached single digits. However, you couldn't stop them from breaking out at other points. Augustin, who only had 11 points in the regular season this season, was forced to do his best in this game because his opponent allowed him to shrink, and he made 6 three-pointers in one go.
He directly scored nearly 30 points in the game. He helped the Orlando Magic defeat a strong opponent in an away game and became one of the famous talking points in the past few days.
The Eastern Conference... is really a strange place. The teams that everyone thought would win with certainty ended up losing. Tang Qian also expressed his disbelief at this result. The next day, these teams had no big problems.
. First of all, in the first game of the playoffs, the five-star Cosmos Warriors used a little strength and the game was wasted. They beat the Timberwolves to the point where they almost vomited blood. They won by a full 47 points! They won more than the Clippers yesterday! The Timberwolves said
It means that he is dual-core inside and outside. Towns is also an All-Star with 25+12+4+1. No matter how hard Wiggins soaks in water, he still averages 20+5+3 in the regular season. It shouldn’t be so miserable.
.However, these two talented men will demonstrate to you what "losing the chain in the playoffs" means, and it is a scene of falling together. The two of them combined did not score 25 points in this game...added together
Hit the iron 27 times! With such a performance, do you still want to win?
I really don’t know why two such talented players would play like this as soon as they entered the playoffs, as if they were completely different people. This made Curry say in an interview after the game that this game was better than him.
Imagine it's easier.
What this actually means is that the Timberwolves are too weak. They were useless before they really entered the state.
So far, these two people have suffered the worst star statistics among the players who have played in the playoffs. If they cannot fight to clear their names, they will probably be labeled as playoff softies and they will not be able to take them off.
In addition to the Warriors, the Nuggets also defeated the Grizzlies by 8 points. Jokic played very hard and scored a terrifying 14+14+14+2 in this game! Don’t look at the score.
Not much, but 14 rebounds + 14 assists are enough to make this data a bit abnormal. Except for Tang Qian, it is too difficult for the inside to achieve this data. His passing support helped the Nuggets win tonight.
They were playing the Grizzlies, so it was reasonable to win. All the top teams in the West won. In the East, the Bucks finally did not let the upset continue, directly trampling Joe's Charlotte Hornets to death 121-86.
Team, there was no resistance throughout the process. Antetokounmpo only played 23 minutes and got the data of 24+17+4+1+1. With this efficiency, if it weren’t for the fact that he only made 5 of 14 free throws, it would have taken 23 minutes to get it.
The next data is close to 30+20. The Nets also defeated the Pacers, narrowly winning by 1 point. "Water Pull" Russell finally had the unlimited firing rights he dreamed of here, with 25 shots in the game.
In 10 shots, he scored 26 points based on the number of shots. It was almost one point per shot. The total field goal percentage was only 40%, and the true shooting rate was only over 40%. Fortunately, he won, otherwise it would have been his own fault.
A day later, the Clippers once again wiped out their opponents. James scored 16 assists in the game. The team blossomed more and beat the Jazz to the point where they were almost out of shape again. James continued to teach the No. 1 rookie who performed well last year at the No. 1 position.
Mitchell is a human being. Although Mitchell scored 19 points in the whole game, he also scored in the same way as Russell of the Nets. He scored 19 points in 18 shots and only shot 38.9% from the field. He also struggled with James throughout the game.
Fighting, my head was so hot that I forgot that I still had the pass button. There were zero assists in the whole game. In this way, the Jazz's originally weak scoring firepower was hit hard again. They lost to the Los Angeles Clippers in the whole game.
40 points, score 140-100, 40 points to kill the Jazz, beat the Jazz to the point where they would belch before even letting out a fart.
The series score is 2-0. In this series, they have firmly established their momentum. They won the first two games and averaged almost 40 points per game. It is conceivable that their playoff capabilities are far better than those in the regular season.
James, Leonard, and Davis are all people who are eager for the championship. So they played very actively and were not loose at all. Davis even almost got into a fight with Gobert because of a flying save.
Although fighting is not good, it is also a display of the player's bloody spirit. It shows that the Clippers are fighting for this game. James said after the game that this is the feeling he wants in the playoffs. He feels that he
The team has entered the playoffs, and that's when they really start to perform. This is their stage.
Tang Qian became even more depressed when he saw this, so tonight he must ask the team to teach Houstonians how to behave.
Otherwise, the Clippers and Warriors both played so vigorously, and our team only won by 20 points? Wouldn't it be too embarrassing?
So no, you have to come back with a bang! Otherwise, you will feel uncomfortable all over!
Feeling the aura of the Lakers No. 29, the entire Lakers team has made a decisive statement this time. They will definitely go all out in this game and beat the opponent. Otherwise, their entire team's extra practice time will be doubled tonight!
Seeing this, Tang Qian felt a little more comfortable. He is no longer the same person he was before. He is now the winner of three consecutive championships, the truly dominant player in the league, and the first person! The more he wins, the more he will naturally have a higher vision.
, so the basic arrogance will not be less.
He is just a little unhappy that his team is being suppressed. Forget it last year, it was a team full of injuries. There is no excuse this year! The 76 wins in the regular season are now in the past, and everything is a matter of not playing well in the playoffs.
It’s all in vain. That’s why the scene on the court tonight happened. The Houstonians felt that every player on the opposite side was rushing forward as if they were on gunpowder! This physical confrontation and fighting state made the Houstonians feel a little helpless.
I got used to it. I almost lost the first 5 minutes! Fortunately, Paul played his role as a steady No. 1 at this time, slowing down the team's rhythm. After a little adjustment, the score began to increase normally.
If the Lakers get beaten right from the start, then why bother?
This is the second game. We have to fight hard. Otherwise, wouldn’t all the talk before the game become nonsense?
Harden may not care, but Paul does, so he stepped up and stabilized the wave. But just when the team was about to score, the Lakers opened fire directly on their core players. This person is James.
Harden. Tang Qian, in order to achieve the purpose of bloodbathing his opponent tonight, began to use the left position defense method to defend the so-called number one scorer on the outside, James Harden. This is also the original Jazz of the original time and space Bucks.
The team also followed the same example and defended very well. They only guarded Harden but not the others. What about the Lakers? This is what Tang Qian and Larry Brown asked the team to practice long ago. It is to make the playoffs.
The game targeted No. 13 of the Mosaic team. The person responsible for doing this was George. Because George is a technical defender, his skill is undoubted. Years of defensive formation is the best evidence, and George's standing high touch is history on the outside.
level, it can also give Harden the maximum burden and interference for his shots.
In the last game, Harden made too many step-back three-pointers. Including the one in the last ten seconds, there were seven or eight in total. This was too many in the playoffs. Tang Qian was not very satisfied.
So tonight, George is also trying his best to guard Harden and gain a high enough status for himself in Tang Qian's heart. Otherwise, he can't say whether the Lakers will sign him with the maximum salary after 1+1.
Myself. Now even the blind can see that this team is the Los Angeles Lakers’ team of No. 29. Whatever he says, that’s what he says. That’s the real truth. So, for yourself, for the beauty, for the sake of
In the future, he will be hugged from left to right, and played with endless meat buns, but tonight he also showed a 100% or even 120% defensive attitude.
Even if he lowers his scoring energy tonight, he still has to capture the Mosaic team's No. 13.
Harden's head hurt a little when he saw this defense. He didn't expect that the step-back + jump shot skills that he had painstakingly developed would be targeted like this. The key is that he is really difficult to break.
Well, it just can't be broken. Because even if the Jazz used it, his efficiency would be greatly reduced. It was just his teammates trying to cheer him up and help him leave the venue. Otherwise, he would really end up with the Bucks after the game.
However, we have to fight, what if we are afraid, we won’t be able to live with the situation. It’s just that it’s easy to force the attack...dang dang dang, it’s just blacksmithing.
This makes Paul very depressed, but he is the boss of this team and the super scorer. He can't say anything. He can't score a few goals. This is not uncommon for Harden. Mosaic
Although Team No. 13 claims to have an invincible true shooting percentage, averaging more than 35 points per game, he has the highest true shooting percentage among outside stars. However, that is calculating the true shooting percentage of free throws. If you don't look at this, just look at the sports shooting percentage.
, you will find that it is normal for James Harden to hit the iron continuously. Especially in the playoffs, his shooting percentage was not even 42%. It was only 41%. The three-pointer rate has been more than 20% for several years.
.
With such a hit rate and continuous hitting, what's so strange about it?
Seeing that it was working, George became more energetic and began to attack Harden with trash talk. Harden seemed to be very enthusiastic except talking to big ass femurs in nightclubs, but otherwise his tongue was not very sharp. Of course, if he could act
It is meaningless to say whether it will be solved. The key is... Harden, he can't solve this problem by himself. In fact, he has never really solved this problem in the original time and space. Faced with this routine, he is really
He can't use his step-back skill. And you also know that Harden's three-point shooting rate when he steps back is much higher than that of ordinary three-pointers. Last season, he made three-pointers when he stepped back.
The shooting rate is as high as about 48%! This season, the number of shots has been increased. According to the principle that the more shots are taken, the shooting rate is easier to decline, and it has also stabilized at around 41%. Yuan Shikong has taken a total of 527 step-back three-pointers this season.
, nearly 220 shots were made, which is amazing. Let’s look at Harden’s career step-back three-pointers. As of this season, he has made about 970 shots, which is about to exceed 1,000 shots. The shooting rate is also over 40%. So, comparison
His regular three-point shooting percentage and his step-back three-pointers are indeed more accurate. Much more accurate.
His three-point shooting percentage has skyrocketed from a good three-point shooting percentage to a superb level in one breath. More than 40%, that's it for Curry.
In addition, Harden has already taken more three-pointers than Curry, so how to defend his step-back three-pointers has become a big problem. Unfortunately, the Bucks used a weird defensive method to perfectly crack it.
Under this sideways defense on the left side, Harden is basically unable to throw a step-back three-pointer. Because he is not a player like Kobe, Jordan, and Bird who can shoot with both hands. He is left-handed, so you
If his left side is guarded, he won't be able to shoot. If Harden can shoot this kind of ball with his right side, he can actually shoot it. Unfortunately...his right three-pointer is inaccurate when he steps back. So, just
It could have been a perfectly accurate step-back three-pointer, but it was immediately scrapped.
First cut off one of the opponent's strongest points, break one of his legs, and then slowly work on the rest.
To deal with the Wolf, you need to do this. No matter what, Harden is still a top scorer averaging 36~37 points per game. If you don't like him, his abilities are still there. You can't really treat him as a fool.
However, Tang Qian also knows that in order to prevent Harden's step-back three-pointers and jumpers, the price you pay is not small. So he is contemptuous strategically, but in terms of the specific implementation of tactics, he still
It's very important. Harden is not a fool. Seeing that there are not many opportunities like this, he simply looks for opportunities to cut inside. Anyway, if you stand like this and defend in front of you, the door will be 100% wide open. Keep it up.
When the ball player enters, it is called a smooth sailing, and it is as easy as one wishes.
Therefore, this is also the most critical part of whether you can guard James Harden.
The Bucks did this part well, so they could hold down Harden and win at the same time. The Jazz didn't do this part well, so they fell short in the end. Tang Qian was waiting for the bearded man to start the breakthrough kill.
Come in.
But Tang Qian immediately knew his worries...
PS: Also, I came back late. Today, my supervisor organized some kind of boring dinner party and heart-to-heart talk. It was meant to be good, but it turned out to be a group of people talking nonsense together just to make the supervisor happy. Damn, is this a heart-to-heart talk?
Or is it a flattery conference? It’s really hard to say. Anyway, let’s continue, there is still one more chapter~~~
