Chapter 1984 On fire? Let me help you reduce the fire
Seeing that his opponent was so fierce, Tang Qian became more serious. After re-entering the court, he hit the ball as soon as he got it. His low post advantage was something that his opponent did not have. Especially when Jordan was tired, he directly replaced Howard.
.This super "nanny" gave Tang Qian a "super buff" halo effect when she waved her hand.
If Tang Qian was already very strong, this time, he became even more tyrannical. He started to make bold moves, killing one for one, or even forcing two for one with high efficiency. This made the Clippers coaching staff non-stop.
Shaking his head. There is no way, it's really amazing. I don't know what to say other than this. Howard's blue-collar strength is still online, and he is a heavy center. Coupled with Davis' defense, he is even more powerful. Logically speaking, no
That should be it. Not to mention guarding, at least give some restrictions. Otherwise, you still think it's Long Aotian, like in fantasy novels, crushing him at every turn and blowing up all the balls?
It has to be said that the combination of Jordan + Davis, combined with the current Tang Qian Rules 2.0, prevents Tang Qian from being able to get whatever he wants and score at will like the Mosaic team. The Twin Towers insiders must have limited abilities, and this
The combination is not an ordinary twin tower. In addition, with the weakened rules, Tang Qian will definitely have a lot more difficulty scoring compared to the first round. This is why Leonard wants to do this, because if No. 29 cannot do what he did in the first round and last year
That kind of invincible offensive efficiency, then, there is a chance to fight.
He is doing the same.
Although the combination of Howard + Davis is much less effective than the combination of Jordan + Davis.
But Rivers thinks there is no problem, and Davis has not changed, so the problem can only be with "Warcraft".
Howard saw the way the head coach looked at him, and felt very wronged. I really didn't work hard.
I don't know what's going on either.
Tang Qian hit a sky hook, and Leonard hit him back. Tang Qian came again, and the same thing happened on the opposite side.
And because Leonard was responsible for all the difficult shots, the entire Clippers team's offensive worries were lifted, and they played a lot more relaxed. Davis also started to score, because Leonard began to attract players.
The Lakers used more defensive resources to defend and pay attention. In addition, Leonard's explosion was indeed a bit disappointing, which suddenly made the Lakers feel a little suppressed.
Mainly the stars of the Lakers, now a problem has been exposed. Although the defense is very good, basically they are an integrated offense and defense, but... the opposite giant is also the same. And the level is even higher.
.Whether it's offense or defense. It's okay for James to suppress Westbrook offensively and defensively. It's okay for Leonard to suppress George offensively and defensively. It's OK for Davis to suppress the Lakers' No. 4 position both offensively and defensively.
?So, the Lakers have had this problem before, it appeared in the regular season, and now it has surfaced again.
That is the aspect of the superstar ball matchup. Against the real giants, except for Tang Qian, everyone else is a little weak.
The No. 1 position, which was supposed to have the advantage, had no advantage at all because the opponent was replaced by No. 23.
The most important thing is that the Lakers' outside shooting percentage cannot keep up with their opponents.
Although with the support of Tang Qian, these people have achieved a career-high shooting percentage, but because they are not particularly efficient players to begin with. So the improvement is an improvement, but it also depends on who the opponent is.
Needless to say, Davis, no one at the 4th position can keep up with his offensive shooting percentage. Even if Westbrook at the 1st position improved his shooting percentage to nearly 50% in the regular season this season, so far in the playoffs, it is still 4.
Compared to his field goal percentage of around 50% in the playoffs, which is 41% per game, I don’t know how much better it is. You have to know that Westbrook’s field goal percentage in the playoffs has been less than 40% for many years. This is
It's just a leap.
But his opponent, James, had a shooting percentage of close to 60% in the first round. This will definitely fall, because the opponent in the first round is also too weak. But according to James' average playoff data, there is no problem in the early 50%. This
It’s not like he’s just shooting alone, Leonard and Davis are there to attract and contain him, and the team configuration is also good, so his shooting will not be bad. The shooting has finally improved to Westbrook’s highest shooting rate in recent years. As for Westbrook, his shooting percentage has reached a new high in recent years.
Leonard... will explode this year. George has reached a career-high shooting percentage of 46% to 47%, but there is still a huge gap compared with Leonard this year. As of 2020, Leonard
Nader's playoff shooting percentage is higher than James Durant, you know.
Impression Flow will definitely not think so, but this is the fact.
Let alone George, Durant is not as good as him in terms of offensive efficiency. This is what the data says.
Moreover, in this round, No. 2 is about to explode, no, he has already exploded, and his efficiency is once again ahead of George!!!
Seeing this, the Lakers immediately paused. After coming up, Tang Qian started to attack on his own in order to stabilize the morale of the army. The effect was also very good. Howard was on the court and he played surprisingly well. Originally, this could destroy the will of a team.
, at least it was a blow. Because even though he tried hard to defend, he still couldn't stop it, which makes him easily frustrated. But because of the equally unsolvable presence of No. 2, the ball was deadlocked! Tang Qian was also a little surprised.
Because he knows very well that he is now in a "buffed" state, but this No. 2 can actually withstand it? Fight against him?
And Leonard's explosion is not one-sided, it is an explosion in all aspects. Role players are almost unable to attack in front of him. Whether it is Kuzma or Ingram, they faced Leonard in this year's playoffs.
Leonard's efficiency has dropped significantly, and his excellent performance in the first round no longer exists. This is Leonard's ability to integrate offense and defense. He reached out to steal another one, and then went directly to switch offense and defense. This ball was No. 23
I'm actually positive. He is indeed the oldest and fastest player, and he's not just bragging.
Seeing how active No. 23 was, Leonard also gave the ball to him. James received the ball and made a strong impact. His body pushed away Beverley who was chasing him, and then the basketball steadily entered the net. On the offensive end, both sides began to increase speed.
The physical confrontation has increased and the pace has slowed down, so it has become increasingly difficult to hit tactical balls, and the only way to do it is with superstar balls.
This is also the rhythm Leonard wants.
Leonard suddenly began to resemble Jordan and Kobe. He used to be just a little bit, but now he has everything. The harder the game is, the uglier it is, and the less able he is to play tactical ball, then for him, his own court value
, it will also be bigger. Because now, he is born to play this kind of solution and attack the ball. If he really wants to play fast push, transition, magic ball and small ball, he will actually be weakened. Many people will
More suitable than him. Playing this way, he is not irreplaceable. But the playoffs are playoffs after all, and such opportunities will definitely be greatly reduced compared to the regular season. In this way, if it is not better than the small ball and magic ball,
As soon as he started to fight hand-to-hand, his light began to shine brightly.
To be honest, as far as he is concerned this season, he is more suitable for the style of play before 2010.
Of course, it's not bad now.
Because his set of dragon-slaying skills is still a decisive force in the playoffs. Even in an era when defending small balls is all about playing small balls, his strong and indiscriminate singles means that the team can compete with other teams.
The magic weapon to open up the level. Tang Qian also increased his offensive intensity, but even if the opponent's efficiency is worse than him, it is still limited, and with the addition of three-pointers to make up for it, the gap is not big. This is what Tang Qian has been doing since the beginning of the universe.
Apart from Durant, he was the first to feel that there was an outside player who could compete with him in terms of offensive efficiency.
Durant has probably the best offensive space in history as a guarantee.
Leonard obviously doesn't have that.
In the current time and space, he only has Siakam, a third-year player who scored 7+ points last season, and Lowry, a former star player who scored 14+ points in the regular season this season and 15+ points in the playoffs. Gasol's defense is pretty good, but
Offense is also difficult for him. So after looking around, the offensive environment and offensive space of the Clippers No. 2 are obviously not as good as Durant. But he still played the best playoff super scoring offense in history.
Efficiency. This is ability. In this time and space, with the two top scorers James and Davis helping to attract defenses, Leonard's offensive efficiency will only be higher and better. The regular season is a career high of 53%.
, just because James's 54% and Davis's close to 54% suppress him, he is only third, so he is not so conspicuous. But in the playoffs, after everyone's efficiency began to decline, he did not
It goes down instead of up, this is the amazing thing.
And you can see that among the entire Clippers starting players, he has the lowest average points in quick downs.
This means that his scoring basically comes from his position.
Positional warfare obviously has a lower hit rate than transitioning between offense and defense. It's amazing that he can maintain this.
Therefore, people say that there is nothing wrong with playing superstar ball. He now has the capital, and in this way the Clippers can give full play to their team's advantages. The Lakers are inferior to their own team in almost every single point. And it just so happens that
During this period, the Lakers also felt bad from the outside. The shooters were temporarily unable to provide fire support to Tang Qian, and the firepower was widened. Tang Qian's offensive space also became gradually crowded.
Once crowded, the number of opportunities and space for shots will be reduced, and the team's ball-conducting errors will also increase.
That is to say, Tang Qian was ruthless enough and coupled with Howard's buff support, he was able to hold off the score and keep his opponent from getting away.
When the third quarter came back up, James also figured out that he had to win first. After all, he was not playing the Lakers in the finals. As long as he could not be suppressed by James' system in the finals, he would rely on his own comprehensive package and data to protect his body.
, there is a high probability that the FMVP is still very likely to belong to him. Thinking of this, No. 23 became active again, and began to cooperate with teammate No. 2, one on the left and one on the right, and began to work hard on the offensive end. After all, the Lakers' No. 1
No matter who the position is, he has an absolute physical advantage.
It can be blown up.
And after thinking about it, James also started to take mid-range shots against the opponent. At the same time, together with Leonard, he tried his best to interfere with the passing route on the defensive end, taking advantage of the opponent's mistakes and improper passing. The ability of role players is still not as good as that of stars.
, not to mention stars of this level. Even if the main force is now replaced, this problem has still not been improved. Compared with the opponents, the gap between the Lakers' forwards and guards is out. Especially now that they are playing alone, their scoring efficiency will be severely beaten.
.
In fact, the gap between the stars is not obvious in the regular season. The gap will not be too obvious, but once the playoffs arrive, the ranking will become clear immediately. Rivers was also surprised and happy. He did not expect that his team was still hiding
Such a big Buddha! Now, if someone can compete with No. 29, then the chances of winning will be great. Because so far, no one in the league can do this. Even the so-called regular season scorer
It is not possible to defeat the current first shooting guard who averages 36~37 points per game. In the playoffs, he was almost doubled by No. 29. So Rivers did not have this intention at the beginning. He faced No. 29 alone.
No, that's unrealistic.
But tonight, someone really did it, taking all the difficult solutions, and the efficiency was incredible. Is this really God's way of guiding me to end the opponent's 4-game winning streak? If it can be done, think about it, Rivers
They were all a little excited too.
It is a bit difficult to create a dynasty, but if you can destroy a dynasty, that is also good. For example, the Mavericks defeated the Lakers for three consecutive games and then the Heat for three consecutive games. As soon as you say it, you will be popular. Rivers is also a human being, and he must sign a proper contract.
It's a meal, so he also wants to take advantage of it.
After the Lakers made a three-pointer from the inside and outside, and then passed it from the bottom corner to the top of the arc, I was not happy for a few seconds. When I came over, facing the defensive formation that the Lakers had set up, No. 2 actually dribbled
The ball came over, and then...he suddenly pulled out his hand!
The ball went in.
At this moment, even the Lakers’ home commentator couldn’t help but say:
Tonight, No. 2 next door feels a bit like his body is on fire. It's really cruel and hot.
The Lakers called timeout again, because Larry Brown didn't expect that a person like this would suddenly appear next door, and he could actually compete with No. 29. He is also a perimeter player. It's really true! It's a bit like always
The Bulls, who had no solution when playing the triangle offense, suddenly came up with someone who could challenge Jordan. They were caught off guard and felt stunned. This is human nature. But when he came down, Larry Brown saw the look in the eyes of No. 29
There is not much frustration or heaviness on his face, but instead...a somewhat playful and interesting expression.
This prompted Larry Brown to ask, asking if Tang Qian needed to change his style of play and first help the team provide support and cover so that the rest of the players could get more and better shooting space. But this tactic, now Larry.
Brown is a little unsure, because the confrontation is obviously very fierce tonight, so the touch and shooting percentage of most Lakers players are not as good as normal. And the opponents are now determined to play superstar ball. The Lakers' game is too complicated.
It is easy to make mistakes and be caught by the opponent to counterattack.
The more critical the moment, generally speaking, the simpler and more direct the game is, the better.
If you make a mistake, you may suddenly lose the balance of the game.
In fact, the white-hot ball cannot withstand a few mistakes, and with tonight's mistakes, the Lakers are already one-third more ahead than next door. Therefore, Larry Brown himself is a little unsure about this tactic.
.After all, the best player of the team is not outside, but inside. And when playing outside, on both offense and defense, under normal circumstances, you cannot challenge the star next door.
Weakness by one gear or even several gears cannot be ignored.
Although no one talks about the difference in opponent strength on the surface, and comparisons are still about saving face, in their hearts, they cannot deceive themselves. They all know that their opponents have to overpower them. It is also a matter of pressure on both offense and defense. So if Tang Qian fights
No, then the others will feel great pressure, and it will not be beneficial to have a head-on confrontation with their opponents. But unexpectedly, No. 29 answered Larry Brown directly:
"Why change? There's no need to change. Our opponents are waiting for us to change. If we change now, I'm afraid it's just what we want. Their passing route control is very good. We don't need to make them play as desired."
"What do you think?" Larry Brown said.
"Isn't there a fire?" Tang Qian said, "Then I'll go help water it and put out the fire."
