Although the key is to cut down the Tang Dynasty, the time and timing are completely different.
Cole did a lot of data analysis and model research before the game. For example, if you look at this, it is a very simple processing method. When the Lakers' outside shooting is a little smoother, it feels like it is starting to gain momentum, which is good.
, directly go up to chop Tang and interrupt his touch. For example, Butler played well before, but after interrupting him, the touch did not continue. During this period, Alian, who was replaced, originally shot well, and because of this, he shot well for several rounds.
There was no chance to touch the ball, and the touch was also reduced.
This made the Lakers feel extremely distressed, because they never expected that this would be the case, and they never expected that their opponents would dare to "cut Tang". This has been something that has disappeared for many seasons. However, this is what Cole did,
That's what the Warriors did. Why? Because...
Because our team has unparalleled offensive ability and space-opening ability, as well as the ability to flow in waves!
So any point where the opponent's rhythm stagnates or interrupts can be used to our advantage!
The previous offensive ability may not have been enough, but now the five-star peak is connected, and the most important thing is that Cole has felt the terror of Curry and Durant this season. The state of the two is more than hot? Even if the playing time is not the same
Not much, they still averaged 30+ points per game in the first two rounds! Still two! If they didn't clock in three quarters or even two quarters so quickly, this data would be better!
Why? Isn't it because the two of them have blocked the dignity of their careers this year?
So far, can you believe that Durant's shooting percentage is even more than 50%! Three-pointers are even more than 43%! This has already reached the efficiency of the season when he first came to the Warriors! What if the comparison
The ratio of output to output, he is even stronger than that year! This is simply a monster! And both monsters have woken up!
The Lakers' continuous humiliation has stretched their patience to the limit. This year, they couldn't wait to get into trouble and exploded wildly.
George is going crazy. He simply thinks that this year's playoffs are a nightmare! Except for the first round when he misplaced his defense against James Harden and was very successful in defense, then... he entered the defense and no one could guard him.
Feeling. Against Leonard, this year's Leonard was as good as Jordan. He couldn't hold it down at all. He was overwhelmed by singles. He finally got past the Clippers. Very good. His opponent changed again.
Became Kevin Durant! If George's standing reach is the top level in history among outsiders, then great, Durant is here and has become the top level in history. Whether it is wingspan or standing reach
, even surpassed him. At the same time, Durant's shooting ability has now become a well-known thing in the league, unless you get someone like Antetokounmpo or Tang Qian who has both athletic ability and height and wingspan.
Body monster, otherwise, you wouldn't even be qualified to interfere with him.
Durant is a typical anti-aircraft gun. You need certain hard conditions to be qualified to defend him.
It's not an exaggeration to say this, it's a fact. George has great defensive talent, and there are very few people whose defense is completely ineffective. Unfortunately, the person in front of him falls into the "rare" category. It doesn't matter what Durant's status is this year.
Whether it is the original time and space or this time and space, they are both amazing existences, and their efficiency is invincible. In addition, the ring has not been touched here yet, and the desire for the ring has taken up a strong driving force.
Do you think they don’t know that this opportunity is only available to them once?
Is this the last time?
They all understand that this time, everyone in the Warriors is in a desperate mood and will never have any other thoughts! Right now, they are united in their will to win! What sowing discord and trash talk?
It's useless to attack the mind. At this moment, they have indeed reached what Steve Kerr calls the strongest coach.
This is true both in terms of lineup and mentality, there is no fraud at all.
The Lakers were playing a little weak, and it seemed that they still underestimated their opponents' desire to win and to defeat themselves. Durant used to shoot a furious shot, and he shot it even though two people were separated. It didn't matter at all.
There is every trace of hesitation.
Every time the Lakers made a slight improvement, their opponents would immediately attack Tang, interrupting their momentum. Forget it, there were other opportunities on the basketball court. For example, Tang Qian broke out! Haha, Cole
With a wave of your hand, chop him!
After a few rounds, Tang Qian also lost his energy and momentum at the free throw line.
Seeing this, the Lakers chose to stick to their guns, preparing to rely on defense first, then wait for the opponent's touch to decline and stagnate, and then overtake them in a wave! This is a method, and Larry Brown also thinks it is good, but even so, it has been defeated.
The Warriors' second grader was as expected!
Do you want to wait for us to chase points when we don’t play well? Yes, it is inevitable that no matter how strong a team is, there will be a trough period. Let alone the Golden State Warriors who rely on shooting to establish themselves in the league. Such a situation occurs
, it’s not surprising, it happens often. Let’s see if it’s the same tonight. This time, it really happened. When the Warriors were on their bench rotation time, they started not scoring in a row, and Cole didn’t plan on playing a second game.
Just let the five-star starters play the whole game. If things go well in the first half, they can come on the bench, and that's no problem. If it's a stalemate in the second half, then it's OK not to make any substitutions throughout the game.
Moreover, as a second-year undergraduate, I have a magic weapon in my possession, so I am not afraid that things will go wrong like before and the cooked duck will fly away.
Of course, the Lakers are also waiting for the opportunity. During the live broadcast on ESPN, Pierce once again loudly said:
The Lakers now need to withstand the pressure, and then a big man like me at the critical moment can take the lead. Just like when I suddenly broke out in the Lakers playoffs in the 14-15 season. Now the Lakers, as you know, are lacking.
Well, it's a pity that I don't play ball anymore.
Otherwise, the Tyrant’s rebounding ability would be wasted. Alas.
What do you mean, Tang Qian is just a rebounder? I dare you to say that. This made another guest commentator, Ray Allen, suddenly ask:
Remember, you only scored ten or so points in the playoffs that year. As a substitute, you were pretty good.
The key point here is, ten points and substitutes.
What does it matter? I have many rings. I said, Ray, how many rings do you have? Ray Allen is a little depressed because he only has 2 NBA championship rings. And he does not have the heavyweight honor of FMVP. This
He is also a flaw in the American basketball circle. Lao Mi really likes to talk about rings at all times, but Ray Allen is not as good as Pierce in this aspect. He is also a bit depressed. Why can he sign a pension contract with the Lakers?
With three rings, he is also known as one of the players with the most successful transformation. What about himself? Could it be that his transformation has not been successful? Damn some critics, they only focus on the rings!
I worked my butt off and managed to get only 2 of them. Wasn’t the last one lying down???
It’s so irritating. Now his historical status is completely inferior to Pierce. This is a fact. Ray Allen has to admit it even if he doesn’t admit it. He lost the ring, lost the FMVP, and he doesn’t have an MVP. That’s nothing.
Being crushed is a sure thing. Even because of these three rings and Pierce having the Finals MVP, his historical status is now higher than KG Garnett.
But you have no choice. What are you competing for after retirement? If it’s not about honors, then why are you fighting for honors? Why are you still selecting for honors?
Friendship comes first and competition comes second? That’s nonsense, isn’t it? This is a competitive sport, and the core of competition is to transcend and strive for the top.
So Ray Allen could only complain sourly, not knowing whether some people were from the Celtics or the Lakers.
But he underestimated Pierce's loud mouth and adaptability. Pierce could prosper on ESPN, but after retiring, he would still make various overseas comments without some brainstorming. Therefore, when Pierce faced this problem, he directly refused to comment.
Vaguely, he opened his mouth and said:
My peak period was with the Green Army. The fact that I won the Finals MVP with the Green Army is proof of that. Everyone in Boston loves me.
My role player period was with the Lakers. I helped the Tyrants win three consecutive championships with the Lakers. I think people in Los Angeles also liked me during this period. I can't decide the trajectory of my career. I naturally want to stay in the Celtics forever.
But they didn't give me this opportunity, so I could only fulfill the spirit of a professional player.
Let me go, why didn’t I find you so eloquent before? What you said is so accurate that the fans on both sides are not offended. It even makes people think that he is a very professional owner. Then I think about the fact that my new autobiography did not sell well.
, Ray Allen also looked melancholy. If you are not someone who can win the FMVP, then choosing the right boss is sometimes a skill.
Alas, people are more annoying than others.
Pierce ignored Ray Allen's "little melancholy" and continued his analysis: The Lakers not only need to withstand now, but also need the opponent's low point to come. Even the Cosmos team does not have such times.
It's coming when it arrives, take a look, it's coming.
This is the Lakers' opportunity.
The opponent started to miss consecutively.
What Pierce said is actually very pertinent. Although he is indeed a bit loud-mouthed and likes to add fuel to the fire, many things he said are still correct. For example, now is the opportunity for the Lakers. Hold on and wait for the opportunity. Now, the opportunity
Here it comes. Tang Qian leads the team hard and always sees opportunities. Their non-five-star peak lineup is still not that stable. Even if it is a full five-star lineup, there will be low periods. It depends on time and depth. Look.
Can you grasp it? Otherwise, you can still hit the maximum hit rate???
Tang Qian seized this opportunity. It seemed that he was going to lead the team to counterattack. However, at this time, Cole did not make a substitution. This seemed to be a tactical error. Because as we all know, the opponent's core players are not in the best physical condition.
The strength is that there is no physical monster. After being dragged behind, the Lakers actually have an advantage. Just like the last round of G3 against the Clippers.
However, Cole smiled at the side, raised his mouth, and looked at the court, unmoved at all.
Are you showing off again? No, definitely not this time. Even if it is a showy operation, it will only have a positive effect this time.
Because Cole feels that with this lineup, he has found the key to dismantling the seemingly invincible Los Angeles dynasty.
At the Staples Center, it looked like the Lakers were about to counterattack. Bill McDonald, the commentator on the scene, also shouted loudly:
Our opportunity has come! The tyrant has led the team and sounded the clarion call to charge!
Then... everything came to an abrupt end.
There is no charge horn anymore, because Tang Qian, No. 29 of the Lakers, has been sent to his own free throw line by his opponent. Yes, it is another free throw, allowing you to score free throws. In any sports battle, the ball that needs momentum is given to you.
Go for it at the free throw line.
Anyway, it's your ability to punish, isn't it?
We didn't say we wouldn't let you score.
Green also started to rant angrily, taking advantage of his big mouth, using all kinds of provocative and unpleasant words, with one purpose: to prevent the Lakers' No. 29 free throws from going in. Because now the Lakers' sports battles are going on anyway.
Although he can't play well, Green is still very good at defending at the free throw line and relying on language.
All kinds of slang and American dialects popped out suddenly, and Tang Qian really felt that this guy's mouth should be changed into a machine gun.
However, the fact that he thinks so actually proves one thing, that is... he has been affected.
Although he doesn't want to admit it, this is a fact. Tang Qian is not stupid. He has already discovered this. The opponent relies on his free throws and is now trying to cover the goal. In many places, this "cover" is used to deal with. Even
Now, there is already a feeling of "one mask can defeat all methods". Tang Qian himself has also become a little bit more burdened. Nothing else, just one thing, as mentioned before, that is, he is not so concerned about his free throws.
Great self-confidence.
If you don’t have the strength to back it up, you will naturally feel guilty.
This is an obvious thing. What, you are saying that there is such a person without a guilty conscience without having the strength? Okay, that is a big fool. If you have no strength and can still mess around, what is that called? Yes, now a sentence
It's a popular saying that's very apt to describe it.
That is - honey confidence.
The key is that this is the most critical point, that is, Tang Qian knows very well that he has obtained this "different space" and obtained the Chamberlain body template, which has greatly increased the upper limit of his talents. However, it is not
There is no one thing that is weakened at all. That is the free throw, and his free throws are also imprisoned in this. Of course, it seems that from a historical point of view, beyond the psychological quality, the free throw is Chamberlain's only problem. No one is perfect.
Not all the benefits are taken away by you.
And this little problem is not worth mentioning compared to what you gain.
Only now does amplification occur.
Tang Qian's free throws were actually not bad tonight. He gritted his teeth and made a lot of free throws, but for the Warriors, this is not bad. At least the opponent's defensive counterattack and momentum are difficult to get up. The key is to see 29
No. 29 was cautiously shooting free throws. In everyone's mind, no one was right. The Lakers were used to playing with No. 29 as their backbone, but now they find that their always-reliable backbone has become "unlucky." In their hearts, the Lakers players
They are all a little "frightened".
It is difficult to fully focus on the enemy.
The Warriors' offensive slump was brought back by Tang Qian's free throws. Soon Durant came back and immediately broke the scoring deadlock. The Lakers failed to seize this opportunity.
Then there is the biggest problem in the second half, which is also the fourth level of Cole's "one cover that can defeat all methods".
When your team starts to launch a wave of flow, when the offensive state is good, immediately... also carry out the tactics of killing Tang!
Why is this? It’s unscientific. Isn’t it only done if you don’t play well? If you play well? Why do you do this? It doesn’t make sense?
No, it makes sense. This is the biggest reason why Cole thinks he has found a magic weapon that can definitely target his opponents.
The offensive ability of this lineup is huge, and even the one-wave ability is unparalleled in the world. So when they play a wave, the best amplification effect is to prevent the opponent from keeping up with the score during this period. So
The Lakers' scoring ability is very strong, especially their inside line, which is almost dominant. Even if the Warriors have so many inside lines, they are still at a disadvantage. Therefore, when attacking, it is easy for the opponent to withstand it. Once it is withstood, it will
The effect of the wave flow is wasted.
So what Cole wants now is to amplify the effect of this extreme wave flow.
As long as Tang Qian's free throw goes slightly wrong during this period, the game will be over in a few minutes.
No. 29 on the previous floors has been held up, and the Lakers have been held up. This shows that this team is not in vain. The dynasty team is indeed extraordinary. However, if you can't find a solution.
The only way is to resist and endure, then there are limits to endurance and resistance. Being passive is always a situation of being beaten. It just depends on how well you can withstand beatings.
But the result will not change.
Jordan told him personally that if he had not practiced strength and confrontation back then, he would not have been able to find a way to deal with the Pistons. Even though he lost several times and wanted to change, some people still said that he was a "thoroughbred."
, There is no need to do this, this is to destroy your own strongest point. However, if you don’t find changes, you will just resist passively, and you can’t see the future.
And right now, the Lakers are in this situation, passively supporting, supporting, supporting, supporting, but there is no complete solution.
Number 29 is powerful and has strong endurance, but how long can you last?
Even if you can bear it, it doesn't matter, I still have the fifth level.
So Cole didn't panic at all and just casually gave directions on the sidelines. This was probably the easiest on-the-spot direction he had played against the Lakers in recent years. Never before had his head and brain not been overloaded until the end.
Sure enough, he finally waited. On the 29th, the Lakers missed consecutive free throws. The Warriors suddenly came in waves and scored 4 consecutive three-pointers and a 2+1. The score difference was suddenly overturned.
It opened to more than 23 points!
The game was hard to come back from, because the Lakers had almost no chance to counterattack defensively or push the offensive climax. As long as there was any sign of it, they would be wiped out by their opponents. Up to this point, Tang Qian also led the team to the limit and was bitten.
At half-time of the game, when we got here, the game had already slipped away as soon as we took a breath.
This game is irreversible.
The Lakers couldn't catch up again.
PS: Continuing the playoff data journey, 2015 was also the first year that Tang Qian led the team alone.
Data are as follows:
2015 vs. Rockets: Game 1: 26 points, 26 rebounds, 7 blocks, 1 assist
Game 2: 20 points but he had 29 rebounds and 12 blocks.
Game 3: 29 points, 27 rebounds, 14 blocks, 2 assists
