Harden was completely confused. He was blocked, and his turnover rate was extremely high when passing the ball. It was as if his opponents had seen through his behavior pattern. Of course, in fact, the behavior patterns of people who play Ultra Money Ball are not at all
It's hard to guess. It's just a few. Three-pointers and baskets. Even if Harden can pass the ball, it's easier to judge and limit because one person is now playing alone. The Jazz can even make it in the playoffs.
Isn't it enough for the Lakers, a so-called super team, to limit him?
So tonight, Harden was completely confused. In this quarter, he started his most usual "playoff chain" behavior, receiving countless shots and making mistakes again and again. The score difference had been widened. The Mosaic team called a timeout.
, and immediately someone was asking Paul what he should do, that he should stand up. He was completely different from the last game tonight. He was too negative. But Chris Paul was not salty while drinking water.
He said calmly: "They don't need me, and I don't need to join in the fun. Besides..."
"It's already 0-3, and some people don't even think about creating a miracle. Of course I, the second best, have to cooperate fully, right?"
"You have to be ignorant."
In fact, Paul didn't lower his voice or turn down the volume when he said this. He has figured it out now. Since he is leaving, he doesn't need to worry about so much anymore. He can just say whatever he thinks in his heart, and he doesn't need to think about the overall situation anymore.
Harden naturally heard these words, but since he played so poorly, he couldn't say anything. He could only lower his head and feel very depressed. At this time, Griffin, Paul's old teammate of the Mosaic team, said: "It's really
Can't you try to make a move? It's so shameless to lose so miserably. You should lose in a good way."
Yes, after all, the promotion at the beginning of the season was that they were a super team on a cosmic level, and now they have lost like this, which is indeed a bit depressing.
Since the general situation cannot be reversed, then it’s okay to just have a few and good-looking ones.
But, what’s the way? There’s no way. Even the strongest point can’t be opened. The Mosaic team is a team that relies heavily on the “light bulb combination” to hold the ball and attract points. It has been used to it for so many years, so the team’s independent offensive ability
, except for Griffin, they are all a bit weak. And Griffin's attack at the basket is not very smooth. The intimidation of No. 29 at the basket is really... It's hard to describe in a word.
Anyone who has tried it knows this.
Wouldn't it be stupid to be blocked on the 13th tonight? Griffin is the "third leader" in this team. The boss has been blocked. He is not in good condition either. It is better not to force himself to take the lead.
Moreover, in terms of connecting and organizing the team, he is definitely incomparable to the "Light Bulb Team". He hasn't taken the blame much in a season, so naturally it's the last game. He doesn't want to be screwed up because of being too strong.
I have spent an offseason. I am the "third child", so I just have to do the things that the "third child" is assigned to do. The matters of the "eldest child and second child" should be left to the "eldest child and second child" to solve by themselves.
Don’t wade into this muddy water, and your contract is only for one year. It’s not a pity to give up the player option. With your own strength and age, it is more than enough to sign a top-level contract. Therefore, if the Mosaic team disintegrates this year,
Then, he will definitely not stay and be "buried". This is something that has been decided a long time ago. With so many star teammates, you still want to indulge in singles. Do you think we are just decorations? Or do you think you are Jordan?
So Griffin, who was about to run away, was too lazy to go up by himself.
All he can think about now is to lose in a good way, that's all.
"Of course there is. I'm afraid some people and Mr. D'Antoni won't bother to do it." Paul's words attracted the attention of many Mosaic players, because now, they are in a scoring panic and need someone to step up and score.
Break the situation. Otherwise, it will completely collapse.
"Then tell me quickly, Chris." someone urged.
"Wouldn't it be great if the mid-range shot broke the game?" Paul smiled, but his smile was a little cold, and said: "The entire basketball court has an effective shooting area, and the mid-range is the largest and most common. You don't use it, what should I do?
?" These words are actually scolding both Harden and D'Antoni. Needless to say, Harden has an obvious grudge. D'Antoni's words mean that Paul feels that if this is the case now, the head coach can't escape the relationship because of the coach's connivance.
And stubbornness is what makes these goals so weak to lose.
He was beaten so hard that he didn't feel evenly matched at all.
They are all humiliating losses. Just like what Griffin thinks now, they are all losses, but for them, there is also a difference between losing and losing. This kind of being beaten to death is really a little bit
I can't find any excuses. I'm so thin.
Harden didn't speak, and neither did D'Antoni. The atmosphere of the Mosaic team suddenly became strangely quiet, but at this time Paul didn't say a word anymore, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
When Mike D'Antoni came back on the court after the timeout, he didn't even talk about Chris Paul's suggestion. You can tell that he was not going to compromise on this issue.
It’s not that he doesn’t have a ring, but what he wants is a ring that belongs to the essence of his own coaching brand.
Obviously, the ultimate magic ball is now the coaching mark he wants. Therefore, D'Antoni, who has never lowered his head in his life, cannot lower his head at this time. He has ideas and persistence, but he is also very stubborn. Seeing this, Paul also
I'm too lazy to talk nonsense, as if I already knew the result. Anyway, just play as usual, wait for the game to end, and go home to fish.
But surprisingly, some people were unwillingly forced to adopt the advice of their No. 3 teammate in the remaining time period, in order to increase their points and make their statistics look better. A crotch
Next, I am still good at it, and then immediately follow up with a smooth underhand breakthrough, and then, near the free throw line, make an emergency stop. These are very familiar routines. Under normal circumstances, the following should be going in. So Tang
Qian was already ready to go over at any time and help Harden's ball fly to the sky with one palm.
He was also very happy tonight. He hadn't been so happy for a long time.
Harden's persistence in scoring points and the Lakers' own performance tonight have both made this possible.
Live broadcast across the country.
"Harden is here again? If this ball goes in, I bet it will be blocked again! After cracking his offense, he really is no longer as brave and magical as before."
"There's nothing you can do about it. For ordinary teams, even if they can strangle him with a step-back three-pointer from the left side of the perimeter, the wide openings in front and on the right will make Harden's breakthrough even more difficult.
Easily. There is almost no obstruction. With his destructive power, you don't dare to touch him during the process. The more people there are, the easier it is for him to touch, so the moment when he is required to protect the basket is very important.
If you can't do this well, you still can't stop him. But unfortunately, the Lakers' last link has no problem at all, and may even be the strongest in history. Coupled with Harden's own offensive intentions
It’s too obvious, creating this vicious cycle.”
"The top super scorer who averaged 36-37 points per game, but his scoring was suppressed so bleakly without any big changes in his shots. I think this is the number one in history. At least after 1984,
It’s definitely gone.”
"Yes, it's the only one. Harden is going to be kicked to death tonight. Oh, wait, this ball is..."
Who is this ball? Tang Qian was also a little surprised at the Toyota Center, because this ball, No. 13, did not attack the basket with force like before. This, according to the magic ball routine, shouldn't be, and it's not quite right, right?
Magic ball, why did it hit the target???
Yes, James Harden finally shot this shot from mid-range. As soon as this shot was made, everyone was shocked.
Because I really didn't expect it. When Tang Qian saw this, he had no way to interfere, because the Lakers' defensive strategy was to pinch the magic ball and let go of the mid-range. That's why Paul did it after Paul broke out in the last game.
With so many points, Harden wants to shoot? This may be a bit troublesome, because everyone knows that Harden used to be able to shoot from mid-range.
What the hell, why did you wake up? Tang Qian was thinking about it, but a "Dang" sound brought him back to his senses, and he immediately grabbed the rebound. The Lakers went over and missed the attack. When they came over, it was Harden again, and the Mosaic team all
The team separated, and Harden held the ball in singles. This time, it was the same old routine, and then after entering, he took a mid-range shot!!!
Damn it! He really started to hit the mid-range shot??? Tang Qian cursed in his heart, but there was no way, it was impossible to fly over. In the mid-range area, the Lakers are giving it to Harden. It depends on him. Of course~
Did you get in? Good luck, good luck. The Lakers played again this time. Tang Qian supported George to come out to catch the ball and follow the former's screen. He made a jump shot and hit it.
Come back and continue playing, still... mid-range shot!!!
All of a sudden, Quanmi Live Broadcast was no longer calm, and everyone began to say that this is the solution.
Yes, this is the solution. There is nothing wrong with Paul's words. They are not false, but... Paul looked at the bearded man who finally started to shoot three-pointers frequently, but his expression was still cold, even a little cold, and slightly...
Some fun:
What I'm telling you is that there is no solution to the problem, but whether you can get in or not depends on you.
As a result, just as I was thinking about it, there was a "dang" sound, and the iron was struck again!!!
This made the whole audience sigh, but you can't say anything, because the opportunities are indeed very good, almost all shots are taken without any defensive pressure. These are all opportunities. Therefore, they can only be regarded as the 13th of their own team.
No. My hand feels bad.
Yes, Tang Qian of the Lakers felt the same way at first.
He feels that with Harden's touch and shooting like this, the touch is not good, and the offensive choice is very correct. The Lakers still cannot take it lightly. After all, their own touch has also declined during this period. It has entered a period of low touch. But time
After a while, he started to have other thoughts, because so far, this guy has made 6 consecutive irons. It was the seventh! And every opportunity was very good, and there was no problem at all.
There's nothing wrong with the posture. It's Harden's usual shooting posture, so it shouldn't be right.
Harden used to be considered a very good mid-range player. Before 2016, he maintained a certain percentage and shooting percentage of mid-range shots, but you also said...that was before. Paul looked at this and called himself a "light bulb combination"
No. 13's eyes are full of ridicule and sneer, because others don't know it, but he knows it very well. Now No. 13 is very likely to disappoint people in this project.
The reason is one, lack of practice.
Yes, the current No. 13 follows the principles of the Mosaic team and basically does not practice mid-range shooting. And in the game, the proportion has now dropped to a proportion that cannot be lower. In the future, it may be even less. In this way, it is not
In actual combat and without training, do you really think it is so easy to "sign a long-term contract" with you in the mid-range? Paul himself is a master of mid-range shooting, so he knows very well that because there are too many shooting points in the mid-range, you simply can't
You may have to rely on the method of training three-pointers to quickly build it up. The muscle memory method of training three-pointers is very effective, but mid-range shooting is difficult. This requires talent and time.
It is a high-investment, low-efficiency offensive technology. At least compared with magic ball, that's it.
Therefore, if you don’t practice, or if you haven’t practiced much for several years, once the intensity of the game increases, you will no longer be able to maintain the previous feel. Mid-range shooting requires hard training, and the amount of training can only be more than that of three-point shooting.
The benefits are sometimes not proportional to the investment. Do you think you can pick up such a difficult technology casually after having put it aside for so long?
You treat us as CIC masters for free.
Do you think the mid-range shot is a three-pointer?
Brother, you are thinking too much. Mid-range is much more difficult to maintain than three-pointers.
Harden only has one mid-range shot in many games now, especially the emergency stop mid-range shot. It is estimated that he can't find one in dozens of games. In such a situation, he suddenly has to use it on a large scale. Under the intensity of the playoffs, it is simply impossible.
It doesn’t work. So, do you think Chris Paul cheated him? Yes, but it is indeed this solution. Paul also tried it in the last game, and it was no problem. But if it doesn’t, then what is it?
Harden was going crazy, because his opponents also began to see the problem, so they began to spray taunting skills at him crazily:
Do you still want to make a mid-range shot? You go ahead and make a mid-range shot if you have the ability! We will stop the mid-range shot and let you play!!!
If you invest in it, we'll recognize it, okay?
You're just afraid of yourself, you don't have the ability to catch it.
Harden became popular because it is true that as long as there is a two-point emergency stop, it is the opponent's defensive blind spot, a vacuum zone. As long as he does not hesitate, then it is an opportunity. When he sees the opportunity, it is not wrong to shoot. But... he just doesn't go in.
.And the more he doesn't go in, the crazier Harden is getting now.
And unknowingly, he had already begun to move towards a great data record.
