Chapter 1960 Isn't it normal for him to lose followers in the playoffs?
He immediately knew what the so-called "difficult" meant. Tang Qian started the whole game and asked the team to kill Harden hard. At the same time, the mechanization of Harden's offensive routine was slowly exposed. The simplest routine in history.
The super scorer is none other than James Harden. He is indeed very powerful, but there are also heavy traces of routine. Tang Qian has completely analyzed him. As the strongest defensive superman in history, his mind
It has never been a problem. This is not something given by another dimension, but it is something he is born with. His learning and analysis abilities are excellent, but he was previously trapped by his terrible height, so no matter how much he studies and analyzes, he has no problem.
It's useless. After all, the domestic basketball environment was like that back then. Without extraordinary height, you couldn't be selected. In China, there is no such thing as a small potato or the strongest one on the planet.
Without height, you will always be a field player. The door to the professional level will not open to you. It will not even give you a crack.
If you are not given the opportunity, which delays the best time for progress, you will reach your limit.
If you keep playing wildball, your improvement will be very limited. Even if you are a genius, you will be forced to hit the ceiling.
So in the past, if he had this talent, he didn't have it, and he didn't even realize it. Now it's different. His physical condition has improved, and all his soft skills can follow. This is how the shortest board of the barrel has been made up.
As a result, after Tang Qian started to open up and score a goal in the paint, he asked the whole team to pre-defend Harden. What do you mean, Harden didn't defend much when he held the ball in the first five or six seconds.
In the future, there will be sudden double-teaming and assisting defense.
This is a decision based on Harden's playing habits, and this data has not yet been calculated. Tang Qian discovered this problem himself first. This is your defensive judgment. If you can do it in advance, your opponent will
If there is no preparation, the offensive rhythm and offensive habits will be disrupted. Once disrupted, it will be difficult to make temporary adjustments. James Harden is not wrong at all. Tang Qian is indeed very fond of long-term goals.
Hold the ball for a while, and then take the shot. According to statistics, 50.4% of the shots are dribbled more than 7 times!
The rate of shots taken after 3-6 dribbles is also as high as 25.7%. Add this up and you will know that shots taken after holding the ball for 3-7 seconds account for more than 75% of James Harden's total shots. So.
, this rhythm was directly controlled by Tang Qian.
Then the entire Lakers team followed Tang Qian's words, especially on the defensive end. This guy's defensive talent and defensive acumen were so terrifying that no one was dissatisfied. So many rebounds, blocks, and best defensive players are not fake.
, and the defensive core was originally supposed to direct the defensive operations of the entire team, so Tang Qian's words were immediately implemented by everyone.
In addition, Harden basically does not shoot out of hand range now, so once his offensive line is calculated in this way, it is easy to touch. In the past, it was actually easy to touch, but you can't stop Harden's ultimate magic ball play. This is
He can still maintain the image of a scoring master to some extent. But if you look at his playoff and regular season data comparison, you will understand that the decline is still obvious. It shows that he is indeed out of the ordinary in the playoffs.
The game is fierce. It is normal to score 20+ points in a series. And the shooting rate is generally ugly. Now his outside killer is being targeted by the Lakers' left side guard, and then another one comes
With the precise contraction of time, and Tang Qian still staring at him, ready to protect the basket at any time. With the three-pronged approach, Harden suddenly entered a huge crisis in his life. He could just play ball in the original time and space, and at least face the Jazz's attack
The defense still averaged 27+ points per game in the series, which is at least considered a first-rate scorer. But when they met Tang Qian's Lakers, now...
The biggest scoring crisis in my life since I started leading the team began to appear.
He started to feel a little unable to score the goal.
This is really the feeling that he can't score. It's not that it feels like it's harder to score, but that all of a sudden, he doesn't know how to score. His three-point step-back skill and fadeaway jumper? Sorry, left side.
You are completely pressed. Then according to the magic ball play method, you should choose a more efficient way to get to the basket, but... this basket is not easy to hit. The No. 29 who went in basically gave him cover every time.
It was up, so it was extremely difficult to face him head-on. In addition, he wanted to make a projectile and dribbled a little more, and the opponent's help defense and double-team came up immediately. He happened to be stuck near his own shooting rhythm.
.
This hit made him extremely suffocated. For the first time, he felt like, holy shit, it’s so difficult to score in the playoffs.
In the past, the decline was a decline, but I have never felt like this before.
Tang Qian's defense was so successful. In fact, there is another problem that has been ignored, and that is because Houston No. 13's own breakthrough and finishing speed is a bit slow and unpleasant. Harden is a master of rhythm breakthroughs. There is no problem with this, but the rhythm
Masters often have a problem, that is, his legs, feet and explosive power are not superior. Kobe's late breakthroughs also followed the path of rhythm breakthroughs, which made many young fans think that this is how Kobe broke through. In fact, he won the championship as the boss
In the past, Kobe's breakthroughs were very fierce, and he was in the explosive and rapid style. But Harden will never be able to follow this style in his life. Without him, his talent is limited. He has no talent in this area, so he can only follow the rhythm style.
Fortunately, he is very good at this aspect, and with the Pengci body protection, he can be considered very offensive.
But it's completely different when it comes to defending a monster like Tang Qian. If you are slow, you will give him the conditions to fly into the sky. In addition, Tang Qian has obviously begun to focus most of his attention on Harden.
Therefore, Harden made a wave of 4 consecutive irons and 1 turnover, and was beaten wildly by the Lakers. You have to know that this team's defensive system, perhaps under the guidance of Coach Bush, is much better than when D'Antoni led the team alone.
, even considered a leap. But unfortunately, their team's defensive system is aimed at space teams, and the Lakers are not exactly that. They can play extremely fast, or they can play extremely slow, all because of No. 29
Caused by the abnormal existence of.
The super center is the overlord of positional warfare. There is no argument. Even James, if he does not open up, most of his balls will hit the positional defense. The series against the Pacers and Bulls is the best example. Even if
If he can win, his efficiency, the so-called invincible efficiency, suddenly fell from the altar. Of course, in the past two years, James has opened up the Rendu line and has stable shooting, which can be regarded as solving this problem that troubled him.
A big problem for more than ten years.
But playing hard position and using a super center is the best solution when tactics cannot be used.
Especially a 7-foot tall man like Tang Qian who has almost unlimited physical strength and can easily keep up with the extreme speed. His attributes are simply perfect. In the last Olympics, Tang Qian led the team to win the top four in the world and beat ordinary players.
The team even exclaimed repeatedly, saying that if we have a tyrant Tang, we can also enter the top four. When we saw Tang Qian starting to rack up points, the Mosaic team's defensive system was completely disintegrated by the No. 29 leader.
After the timeout, Harden began to attract points. Now Paul is temporarily going to rest. After all, he is too old. He can only output about 32 minutes in the regular season. In the playoffs, the time is forcibly increased, which means he can only last 36 minutes.
Minutes or so. No matter how long it is, it won’t work. Unless there is a big explosion, otherwise, the efficiency will drop significantly. So now Paul goes down to take a rest, and No. 13 has become the Mosaic team’s only passing organization point at the moment.
D'Antoni hopes that when Harden is being targeted, he will revitalize the whole team. By opening up the whole team, he can get better shooting space, shooting opportunities, and score more points. These are mutually reinforcing.
matter.
Harden also nodded and obeyed, but tonight's Mosaic team was different from the last game. The outside basket never felt good, so Harden took a few shots and the position was OK, but the Lakers' rotation did not keep up. But
, just missed the shot! This time the score difference was even bigger. Tang Qian was no longer ready to be cautious anymore, because he discovered something, something that he thought was impossible before. That is the No. 13 of the Mosaic team,
In fact, the playoffs...
very common.
The fight was pretty average.
It is true that this is for No. 13's own ability, which may be very strong for ordinary stars, but for a top scorer who can average 36 to 37 points per game in the regular season, there are only two words.
...Too bad. In the last game, the Lakers failed to make some targeted decisions. In addition, Harden himself also felt explosive, and the three-pointers went in crazily, disrupting the Lakers' defensive rhythm for a while. Therefore, they scored high.
Harden also allowed Tang Qian to persist in this "misunderstanding".
Until now.
But after the game began to focus on No. 13, he suddenly realized that his worries... were all superfluous.
This guy is just an ordinary star in the playoffs. Such a person is not qualified to be his opponent in the playoffs. Even in just one aspect. A super scorer who averages 36~37 points per game? Averages 36~37 points per game.
Will the super scorer be suppressed so easily? Will he be unable to break the game so easily, or even be unable to move? What are you thinking? Even if Tang Qian is protecting the basket and his magic ball is difficult to penetrate, he can still use it
There are other ways to play, at least to see if the Lakers don't immediately double-team and help defend him according to the pattern. So what is he doing at this time? Why not playing?
And now is the era of free movement. Movement without the ball basically cannot provide too much confrontation and delay. As long as you think about it, a scorer at your level will not have no chance to score. But Harden directly told Tang Qian, I
Brother Deng wants to teach you a lesson! There are top super scorers like me. They can be easily frozen and frozen at their peak.
After seeing through this problem and seeing through the bluffing appearance of this guy who actually only averaged 36-37 points per game in the regular season, Tang Qian has lost interest in No. 13. And it turns out that you made him lose interest in you.
You will be miserable. At this stage, because the Mosaic team is not strong on the perimeter, your star must step up and play. Paul is resting again. If you, a top super scorer who averages 36~37 points per game, don't play, who will play? And you
He is the recognized No. 1 point guard in active duty. At this time, it is time for you to take over the responsibility and go it alone. If you are humble at this time, it will make people think that you are not useful. Harden was forced to have no choice but to
I kept doing it myself, and then started making crazy mistakes and making mistakes.
To be honest, this game will be the beginning of Harden's most unforgettable series, and it will also be the beginning of Tang Qian's complete disappointment with this guy.
As a strong person, you naturally want to go head-to-head with strong opponents on a high-standard stage, and the playoffs are a good stage. But after you sharpen your sword and prepare carefully, you find that the person coming is Nanmen Chui Dan.
Xiao, this gap will make your whole life bad. So now Tang Qian just wants to vent his depressed anger on No. 13.
This also caused Harden's so-called top scorer outerwear to be crazily torn apart.
There was no underwear left.
In this quarter, he made 0 of 6 shots in a single quarter, plus 4 turnovers. In addition, his outside teammates were not strong enough, and he did not even get an assist. An absolute core player, a top super scorer, only
I got 1 of 2 free throws and got 1 point. Think about how it feels. It feels like it's getting dark here in Houston, but there is still a glimmer of hope. After all, many stars didn't feel good in the first half and went crazy in the second half.
It's normal to have strength. But Tang Qian and the Lakers told Houstonians that your ideas are too naive. We will not give you such an opportunity.
Of course, given it, No. 13 can’t do this.
Because in the playoffs, he just wasn't a superstar.
Harden once again found himself in an embarrassing situation. He was unable to shoot a three-pointer from the outside while dribbling. He forced a top shot. George didn't score many points tonight because he was determined to hold him down. He was 120% committed to defense. And George
His standing reach was too strong and he couldn't break through. He forced a shot and it was blocked. Then you rarely see him shooting three-pointers from the outside tonight. He was also blocked when he went into the basket, plus
There were several big blocks in the first quarter. His 3-for-15 shooting in the first half has now become 3-for-17. His shooting percentage has already dropped below 20%. He doesn't even know how to play or rhythm anymore.
It was completely gone, dribbling a little longer, and the feeling came, oh, the opponent's defensive double-teaming was just right again. Another angry strike!
Made 3 of 18 shots.
When Tang Qian faced this guy, he only had a look of disgust on his face. He really didn't expect that he, the number one center in the league and currently the number one player in the world, would fight for the scoring title with this guy in the regular season. It's really crazy.
...is an insult!!! What a fuck!
Tang Qian has now scored 40 points without the ball + with the ball. His free throws tonight were good, which further strengthened his positional lethality. Capela was in foul trouble again, and he went down in the middle of the third quarter. This
The Mosaic team once again fell into a situation where they had to use the old-fashioned Nene inside. It was not that Nene didn't work hard, but he really couldn't do it anymore and was completely beaten by Tang Qian. The Mosaic team's unlimited defense changes are just for one-on-one.
If I put one person aside for you, this defensive system is really giving food to Tang Qian.
It's okay to defend others, but to defend him is to seek death.
You double-team, Tang Qian passed the ball. Tonight, the Lakers' outside touch is still stable, and the three-point shooting rate exceeds 35%. It is definitely incomparable with the Mosaic team when the magic ball broke out, but it is stable, then
That's enough. Because Tang Qian is not Harden, he will do the same thing if there is a chance for one-on-two. And when the outside feels bad, he will take the initiative to stand up and get the ball.
An absolute core is cutting melons and vegetables, and an absolute core is struggling to move forward. Unless the rest of the Mosaic team explodes, otherwise, the chance is slim. Tonight's Mosaic team is still not accurate from the outside. The shooting team is in the playoffs.
It's not surprising that there have been a few inaccurate shots. The Warriors have shot more than 20% of three-pointers. Your Mosaic team is even more unstable. What's so surprising about the shots? And the more you hit from the outside,
If you don’t go in, then the absolute core needs to be beaten in even more.
As a result, Harden is in a situation where he can't do anything without playing, his three-point stunt is blocked, his success rate at the basket is low, and he often dribbles a little too slowly and has to hit more than once. All of these are undesirable.
In his favor, if this happens, he will naturally be beaten into pieces.
The rhythm state is completely gone.
The commentator on the scene, Bill MacDonald, also laughed loudly:
Wow~ Can you believe it? The famous super scorer Harden has only scored 3 sports goals in this game? How many points can he score tonight? Can he score 20 points?
Stu Lantz also answered the question and said with a smile:
In order to achieve this great goal, James Harden still needs to work hard and work hard.
Oh~ It’s too bad, another iron was struck. How many irons were struck tonight? 20 irons, right?
Seeing Harden struggling so hard, being so ineffective, and fighting against the worst of the worst... Tang Qian was so dissatisfied that he shed tears.
I am actually called the "Yu Liang" on the scoring end with such a person in the regular season? Damn, he is also considered a "Yu"? He is just a Jiang who has worked hard to the end! It's really depressing!!! It's really a price drop!!!
Tang Qian's ball blocked James Harden's inside attack, and then threw the ball to Westbrook. Westbrook rushed out, and there was no need to pass. There is no such thing as offside in basketball, only Westbrook's impact speed
, it was impossible for the opponent to keep up with the ball. So Tang Qian stayed where he was, watching Westbrook succeed in a one-arm flying dunk, while looking at No. 13, he couldn't help but say:
You are such a loser. In the playoffs, you have no chance of letting me take action.
You let me... so disappointed.
After talking about this match, Tang Qian never paid attention to this man who liked big butts.
