In the second half, the Mavericks had no choice but to change their formation and adopt a conventional style of play, because facts proved that their 220+ twin tower tactics were unreliable. Carlisle adopted a positional slow-attack style of play. This was not only for the success rate, but also for the success rate.
It was to adjust the rhythm brought by the Los Angeles Lakers in the first half. Playing run-and-gun and small ball, they suffered a bit. At least they couldn't follow the same pattern throughout the game. They would be beaten to death.
The leader of the offense is still the 20-year-old Doncic. In this era of comprehensive data offense, it is basically impossible for you to completely stop your opponent. Especially for a person like Doncic who is born with superstar attributes, it is even more
In this era, it is difficult to stop. In the original time and space, under the outside defense combination of Leonard + George + Beverley, he still averaged nearly 31+10+9+1 all-round data in the series, and he made hits in 6 games.
The rate is over 50%. You say that he is a rookie playing in the playoffs for the first time. You are overthinking it. His future is really a bit like Nowitzki or even Larry Bird.
At least facing this kind of outside defensive combination, it is not easy to achieve this efficiency and data, even in the era of big data.
The opponents are all well-known defensive masters, and coincidentally, George and Beverley, the two former Clippers, are now on the Los Angeles Lakers. The only thing missing is Leonard, a super defender on the perimeter. The original Lakers
The team's plan is that these two people are enough to suppress the opponent. What can a rookie Doncic do? This is simply funny, isn't it?
Rookie, let us veterans tell you what the playoffs are!
Just when George and Westbrook showed a cruel expression, the guy opposite was not frightened at all. There was no change in his demeanor at all. He just continued to dribble steadily, then called tactics and directed the team's attack. It seemed that after the disaster,
He has become a lot stronger. He really didn’t just eat, drink and have fun. Domestic players really need to learn this. He also lives with his girlfriend, but it doesn’t slow down his progress at all. This is the key. You can’t just learn to eat, drink and have fun.
Don’t learn from others’ positive side.
Don't tell me, Carlisle of the Mavericks has been standing in Dallas for so many years. There is a reason. His tactical level is actually really good. Look at the Mavericks' style of play, high pick-and-roll, high pick-and-roll,
In the high pick-and-roll, I carefully found the opportunity to play again, and I was not anxious at all. On the contrary, the Lakers' outside line was getting a little impatient. Because I felt that I was a veteran being played by a newcomer, which was really unreasonable.
So I started to become more and more vindictive. When I am vindictive, it is a double-edged sword.
Some people use it well, and some people use it poorly. Not everyone is a person like Jordan and Kobe.
Doncic also took advantage of this wave, calmly using his dribbling to activate the whole team. Various meticulous pick-and-rolls also made George and Westbrook a bit confused. Westbrook's play was not clear.
It's not that I'm too aggressive, I actually got several defensive fouls by my opponent. I was too eager to kill my opponent, but I got myself into trouble. The key is that they don't go head-on with you, they follow the magic ball flow, and they pull them out to compete with you.
Shooting. Westbrook, the triple-double king, suddenly ran into trouble.
I suffered a big loss during the shooting.
Westbrook's talent is not on this level.
They are all possession points, and he was plotted by his opponents. Doncic's regular season shooting is actually pretty average, especially three-pointers. In this era of large space, he only scored over 30% in both seasons.
In this era, that would be considered ordinary. But in the playoffs, he was much more accurate. Not only his basic shooting percentage, but also his three-point shooting percentage also improved significantly.
This is something no one expected.
The Lakers didn't expect it, but Larry Brown quickly adjusted. He made the following changes. Considering that the Mavericks team was almost started by this 20-year-old brother. So, it was a matter of pinching him.
The top priority. According to the thinking of Larry Brown and even all the Lakers players, if they stop him, everything will be fine. The opponent will be left in the cold. And the opponent is just a second-year rookie, playing in the playoffs for the first time.
That’s it, what else can be done?
Larry Brown also told the Lakers players not to let this rookie, who is playing in the playoffs for the first time, underestimate the playoffs.
However, it backfired. Even if George was on board, it didn't seem to work. This little brother even led the team to hit an 11-2 shock wave. The Lakers became more and more anxious, and many of the balls given to Tang Qian were impatient and difficult to handle.
Mistakes. People did not expect that the Mavericks could push the Los Angeles Lakers to this extent in the first game! This is unbearable! Especially the Lakers fans have been "high appetite" for a long time, so they are all on the screen
He complained in front of him.
Larry Brown is also on fire. What's the matter? I can't stop you, a little brat, right?
Since one person can't do it, then it's okay. I can play with three defensive levels of players, so that's always okay.
Beverley + George + Covington formed the Los Angeles Lakers' perimeter defense, which was supposed to be invincible and should be able to completely suppress the 20-year-old Slovenian guy. But Doncic and the Mavericks broke out.
The energy is eye-catching. Carlisle's precise tactics + Doncic's support created a chemical reaction.
High pick and roll + high pick and roll + high pick and roll, a lot of high pick and roll to create as much space for Doncic to link up with the whole team.
Also use this one to deal with the Lakers' strong personal ability in one-on-one situations.
The key is that the Lakers want to suppress Doncic too much, giving him a painful lesson to let him know what the playoffs are. As a result, your defense pays too much attention to this side and misses some Mavericks.
The outside firepower of the Mavericks. Don’t forget that the Mavericks also have a one-star playing system. After they got Boban, their mobility increased, and the 221CM Porzingis can also shoot. And he is very accurate.
.This season, he averaged 7+ three-pointers per game, and his shooting percentage was about 35%, which is relatively stable. So by pinching Doncic like this, a wave of three-pointers broke out from the outside of the Mavericks. This made the Lakers very uncomfortable.
The score difference was almost reduced to zero. Although this guy is young, he played his own performance tonight. Facing George, he patiently attacked with his feet, relied on pick-and-roll operations, and drew fouls, which made George, who was a little impatient, play.
It was also very bad.
Facing Covington, he adopted a retreat three-point play, using pick-and-rolls, which made Covington feel that he was facing a white version of James Harden. Facing the shortest Beverley
, he adopted a tonnage-based approach. With a body of over 230 pounds and excellent static strength, Beverly was made miserable by him. Just like the original time and space, he almost graduated with six offenses.
Larry. Brown hair! This is it from above! Are you a brat doing this? Absolutely not!
Then came a set of terrible tactics.
When the opponent picks and rolls to find someone out of position, we use everyone except Tang Qian to switch defenses indefinitely. Anyway, there is no problem on the scene. Ingram is in the 4th position, playing one big and four small. On the defensive end, this is called unlimited switching from 1 to 4 to break the pick-and-roll.
When the opponent uses a double pick-and-roll, the Lakers use a strong delaying method, not only committing fouls but also increasing physical confrontation, so that the opponent's offensive operation cannot be completed in one step.
The opponent uses a high-low double pick-and-roll, and the Lakers adopt the strategy of forcing the strong side to squeeze and switch to the nearest defense on the weak side.
…
You can't say that you didn't target it well, you fought it carefully. Even from the perspective of other tacticians, there are not too many problems with Larry Brown's arrangement. It is almost targeted and suppressed at every level. And Beverly+
George + Covington, these are all defensive-level players. How can we say that we don’t pay attention to a second-year rookie who is playing in the playoffs for the first time? But what is really surprising is that this guy, this 20-year-old
The 20-year-old Slovenian guy actually faced this kind of defensive formation all by himself. He kept his face straight and shot across the ball. He didn't give the ball to anyone else, he just did it himself.
This guy really feels like a young hero.
The key is that the hit rate is still high.
The beating made Larry Brown and the Lakers' defensive perimeter group feel a little buzzing. Because of this, it was so unexpected. You could say you didn't expect it at all. This is Beverley + George + Covington.
A defensive-level perimeter lockup! He is a 20-year-old rookie who is playing in the playoffs for the first time... It's a pity that they don't have a God's perspective of the future, otherwise they would definitely know that this lineup... is nothing.
He is someone who can produce terrifying statistics against the perimeter lineup of Beverley + George + Leonard.
Both can produce 40+ accurate quadruple-doubles in a single game, and both can produce 30+ accurate triple-doubles in a series.
If nothing else, in this year's playoffs, Doncic is the real young boy king, full of energy, let alone Beverley + George + Covington, even if Covington is replaced by Leonard
, he scored more than 60% of the field goal percentage. Therefore, it can only be said that the Lakers and Larry Brown made a bit of a miscalculation. They did not expect that there would be such a strong young man.
Well, even if you are from the original time and space, there are still a few people who think that in the first playoff trip at the age of 20, facing the top perimeter blockade in history of George + Leonard + Beverley, you can produce such efficiency and data.
I'm afraid, not many people dare to think about it. Even in the era of big data, it is a bit unexpected. Therefore, it can exceed your expectations, and it can also exceed the Lakers and the Lakers coaching staff.
In this game, he also created a personal record in the original time and space, that is, the highest score of .42 points by a single player in the playoffs in the first game after the statistics of the 1980s are complete. Yes, it was his first game. Let’s look at it now.
, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a genius.
With one ball, he even hit all the defensive points of the Lakers' George + Beverley + Covington in the same round as the original time and space. Everyone was passed by him.
Then he pulled it up and hit a three-pointer.
It's a good thing there are no spectators, otherwise the Lakers audience would be extremely depressed and the Mavericks audience would be extremely happy.
This guy is in great shape, and even a fool can see it. He kills the Lakers' full-defense perimeter all by himself, and is not at a disadvantage. In fact, he is at an advantage.
It's really amazing.
In the fourth quarter, Larry Brown finally couldn't stand it any longer. Forget it, what's the point of saving face? Winning is the way to go.
How to do it? Ask for help from the strongest king in the current basketball world.
Um, Tang, do you have any good ideas for this situation? This kid is so crazy that even my hair is bald and I can’t stop him. Please give me a trick. This passage is probably
That's what it means. When Tang Qian heard this, he also gave his own answer. There was no way for him to get past the outside line. The defensive tone of this game was almost set. Don't make any unnecessary struggles on the defensive end.
Sometimes it's like this, you just can't guard against him, no matter how hard you try, it won't work.
This is possible when the giants explode. This is most obvious in Jordan's game.
He has also seen Larry Brown's adjustments and arrangements tonight. There is no problem. I'm afraid it won't be better if he replaces himself. The lineup is also laid out. It's just that he can't stop it. So, let's change the approach.
.
If you win this game, your opponent will almost have to give it to you.
Because the Mavericks beat the Lakers, and if they collapse in one breath, they will be exhausted again.
So Tang Qian moved his neck and said: "Don't go into the defensive lineup. The opponent's feet are slow. Go up to Russell and let him rush in to me."
"But he doesn't have a basket." And it's easy to get hooked.
"It doesn't matter." Tang Qian walked to Westbrook, hugged Westbrook's neck, and said kindly: "Don't make long shots until the next ball. Do you understand? Master Westbrook? Don't make me angry.
oh."
Westbrook has always had a bad temper, but unfortunately, in the face of Tang Qian's strength, which has dominated the American fighting circle, he can only retreat on his own initiative.
