Chapter 2125 The Lakers have been fierce against rookies
How to defend Tang Qian has become the biggest problem for a Dallasite.
Tang Qian alone changed the direction of the battle. Obviously, in G1, the Dallas people controlled the rhythm very well. There is still hope. Unfortunately, it was all because of Tang Qian's unsolvable single sky hook, which directly caused the defeat.
Faced with this problem, the Dallas people obviously made adjustments in the second game and wanted to double-team Tang Qian. But the effect was really not good. Tang Qian's ball speed was too fast, and the Lakers played very patiently.
, without the anxiety of the first game.
Doncic is still vigorous, and indeed the outburst in the first game is no joke. Tang Qian saw the back and forth with the Mavericks in the first quarter and expressed... quite dissatisfied. He took the following measures. Center circle
Leading the defense, George and Covington were used to drain him, but Doncic played in a very good rhythm. He also withstood such a wheel battle and continuously helped Dallas score.
Tang Qian immediately changed and increased the area contraction at position 1, forcing Doncic to play the ball.
However, Maxi Kleber, the forward on the opposite side of the ball, was not accurate during this period. Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Lakers made a wave of contraction in the high post area. After all, Doncic was still a rookie, playing in the playoffs for the first time, and encountered this situation.
He was a little panicked. But he also knew how to pass the ball out and use the pick-and-roll to mobilize the team.
He is a future talent. Tang Qian also found it a bit interesting. He set up defensive traps more carefully to let this young genius accept the "test of quality".
The opponent's defense against Tang Qian was much stricter this time. Tang Qian did not fight hard. He began to focus on rebounding. Tang Qian's rebound was very skillful and did not compete with the Dallas people. Instead, it was a wig.
With great force, he immediately reversed his position and got to the front, then got the ball and attacked twice, causing damage.
Scoring is not just about singles.
There are many ways to score points.
The Lakers played relatively fluently and their opponents were also fluent, which was not interesting. What Tang Qian wanted was not the competitive routine of "Hello, I am ok, everyone". What he wanted was a "dark competitive mentality". So he started
He carefully directed the team's defense.
Since it is the playoffs, it must be very different from the regular season. Otherwise, it cannot be said that the playoffs are the big stage for superstars.
The control of details and the precise response of more rounds are the beauty of the playoffs. In the regular season, one routine may take a long time, but in the playoffs, the key rounds may have changes and targets in every round. Since this guy is so
Awesome, worthy of the terms "Young Bird" and "Nowitzki II". Then, I can also "arrange a meal" for him.
Poor Doncic didn't know what the opponent was planning, but after passing by, he suddenly saw a strong double-team coming from the opponent. However, he was calm, double-teaming and so on. As a star of this level,
Of course he had to face it. He was used to it in Europe. He was about to pass the ball easily to break the game. But he saw that the opponent immediately changed. The route he wanted to pass had someone stuck on it in advance.
The opposite wing ran without the ball and was stopped by the Lakers.
Doncic had no choice but to dribble the ball a few times, trying to force his way in. But after entering, he attracted the ball, but the Lakers quickly blocked the two bottom corners. This made Doncic
Qi was very embarrassed because he had already started the ball. During the three-step layup, he had to shoot or release the ball. Otherwise, it was a violation. However, several points where he wanted to pass the ball had been blocked.
He had no choice but to make a forced shot. There is no doubt that he took a shot under the basket and was rewarded with a spicy hot pot shot by Lakers No. 29.
As soon as Doncic came over and dribbled the ball, he was targeted again by the Lakers, controlled by the triangle, and then allowed Doncic to single out from the mid-range.
Doncic wanted to play the ball and revitalize the team, but he fell into a trap. The ball was not played smoothly and he started to make consecutive mistakes.
Carlisle immediately paused. He was still very cautious. He is not lacking in experience in the playoffs.
After the timeout, Doncic came back up and started to play a high 1-5 pick-and-roll according to Kalide's instructions. This mainly allowed Doncic to attack Westbrook in large quantities. Because his height and tonnage are better than the 191cm Westbrook.
Westbrook is naturally dissatisfied, but on the defensive end, he really can't stop Doncic. Because Doncic is so good at drawing fouls. Even in this year's playoffs, he absolutely averaged 10+ free throws per game.
unambiguous.
Westbrook is too easy to take advantage of. Although it looks scary to show his teeth and claws, in fact, defense is very limited. If you go head-on, the effect may not be good, after all, his physical fitness is there. However, Doncic is obviously gone, right?
It was a head-to-head fight, with such a sticky feeling that Westbrook couldn't even use his strength.
Especially now, in the era of big data, defense has been weakened repeatedly.
Beep beep ~ Westbrook didn't know why he stretched out that damn arm, and Doncic was like a magnet, sucking him in immediately, and then, the whistle sounded, and he made a free throw.
Doncic made 1 of 2 free throws. It seems that his physical energy consumption is also relatively large. After all, he is still a young rookie playing in the playoffs for the first time, and the distribution of physical energy is not as skillful as in the regular season. On the offensive end, Tang Qian of the Lakers
Porzingis tried his best to get the tip-in, but the gap was too big and he couldn't withstand the Eastern giant.
That big butt is so sexy and sexy.
The opponent continued to play a 1-5 high pick-and-roll, but Tang Qian still did not pull out. The Lakers quickly switched defenses to allow Tang Qian to stay in the team's low basket as much as possible.
Don't be stunned, go to defense immediately, the opponent will use a pick-and-roll mismatch!
Then Tang Qian naturally made a move toward the free throw line. Just as Doncic came in, he was pushed out again. His center of gravity was unstable and he violated the rule of dribbling and walking.
The ball is easy to turn.
Dongcic originally wanted to say something, but when he saw the person in front of him clearly, he stopped immediately and returned to defense honestly.
Los Angeles Lakers No. 29, the most untouchable person in this league, it’s better to be honest.
The Lakers are picking up speed.
The opponent wanted to take advantage of the absence of Westbrook of the Lakers to seize the opportunity and take the lead, but the Lakers' arrangement was very clear. Under the command of Tang Qian, everyone shrank in order to hold down Doncic's shot.
Doncic scored 40+ points in the last game. Tang Qian also made it very clear that this game is absolutely impossible.
It's the joint blockade that makes Doncic's game very difficult. Don't try to connect the team easily.
Seeing that it didn't work, Carlisle immediately changed his tactics again, hoping to open up the offensive space for the team, and set up a four-shooter lineup. This was to alleviate the embarrassing situation where the team was greatly reduced by the Lakers and could not break the game. Tang Qian laughed.
, knowing what Carlisle is planning, if the team spreads out to defend, then it can create a chance for their "future star" Doncic to breathe a little.
This is a two-step game of light and dark.
Generally speaking, in order to prevent the opponent from opening a three-pointer at this time, they will disperse to defend. Normal coaches should do this. Larry Brown originally meant this, but Tang Qian refused. Tang Qian said: Since the opponent wants to
If he wants to do this, then we can just follow his wishes.
Let them shoot from the outside, and we can just keep an eye on No. 77.
At first, Larry Brown didn't understand what was going on. After all, his one-star shooting, no, it should be five shooters, took effect in an instant. The Lakers were hit by two consecutive three-pointers. But.
, Gradually, he understood the meaning of Los Angeles No. 29. This was to draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron.
He wants to fundamentally defeat the people of Dallas.
Why? Didn't they get a few three-pointers? The key is, they scored, and the Lakers also scored. In the era of confrontation, this is normal. Tang Qian hit the rebound, and Dallas' inside line was too weak.
A Porzingis is useless. I don't dare to replace Boban, otherwise he will get a lot of kicks. At the same time, Boban does not have the ability to open up space.
After being defeated by No. 29 of the Lakers in the first game, Carlisle gave up on this inside combination.
After a quarter of fighting like this, because the score difference was not completely widened, Doncic, the soul of Dallas and the engine of the backcourt, did not dare to go down. Otherwise, once he went down, the entire team's offensive rhythm would be disrupted.
. This is the disadvantage of taking over the team. If you are used to controlling the overall situation, if you go down, everything will be chaotic. This is why Tang Qian ignores the opponent's five-shooter lineup, even if he is challenged with a three-pointer.
Continue to insist on the reasons why rookie No. 77 is obsessed with him.
Doncic really feels that he has never felt refreshed in front of him until now.
There are big men covered in sweat everywhere, wandering around, and even if he initiates a high pick-and-roll, they don't care about the others at all.
At first, Doncic thought that the opponent's defense had made a decision-making error, but as he continued to fight, he discovered that something was wrong. Because even though his side scored a lot, the score could not be caught up at all.
.
On the contrary, I am tired of facing all kinds of entanglements, and my physical fitness has seriously declined.
Then No. 29 seemed to realize his fatigue and began to defend himself in more areas. Doncic began to feel that his ball was a little unstable.
What a great opportunity, everyone, come on together, that rookie is tired.
At this time, the Lakers directly let go of the mid-range and let the opponent hit, seemingly everyone... In fact, it was the rookie No. 77 Doncic. Because you will find that Doncic is attacking.
It was very strict, with heavy traces of learning. It had not yet formed its own unique style. Therefore, the Lakers directly adopted a large number of ferocious attacks on the line and began to attack the poor and helpless rookie Doncic.
No matter what Curry's second brother is, no matter what Terry Burke is, we will let you fight and ignore you.
Anyway, we just want to stop little brother Doncic.
Doncic was panting, he was too tired. Seeing that his teammates were obviously in the same position but no one was guarding him, he was so envious that he almost became red-eyed. But he could only be red-eyed because the Lakers didn't change in the whole game.
The focus of defense.
He has to feel that by defending himself like this, he is a superstar, not a rookie playing in the playoffs for the first time.
Doncic walked to the side, went up and pressed him.
Dongcic broke into the middle and flanked him.
Doncic breaks through the pick-and-roll, ignore the person who is doing it, and go directly to surround No. 77.
In this way, in the second half of the third quarter, Doncic's physical fitness began to obviously fail. The Lakers, under the command of that damn No. 29, just kept squeezing himself. He didn't even have a chance to breathe.
several times.
Once again he couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Can't you just let me take a breath?"
"No." The answer was basically unanimous.
There are black lines on Doncic's head.
Under the Lakers' high-intensity "special care", Doncic gradually lost his physical strength, and then began to make passing errors, dribbling errors, steals, etc. His legs and feet were very tired, but the Dallas people did not.
Dare to replace him. Because if he does, the entire Dallas offensive system will collapse in an instant. As the head coach, Carlisle must understand this better than anyone.
There was a ball, and Doncic almost fell over. Damn, there were several Lakers players running towards him as if they were anxious.
This... is this how you treat a rookie who is playing in the playoffs for the first time?
Dongcic really wants to look up to the sky and scream.
Yes, that's how we do it, welcome to the playoffs, Mr. Diamondback.
Just as he was talking, Doncic made another mistake. Because of his weak foot, the ball turned from a basketball to a football out of bounds.
The playoffs are games with all kinds of weird tricks and various adjustments. Compared with the mechanization of tactics in the regular season, they are completely incomparable. Doncic was also in a bad situation, and was targeted by Tang Qian, who commanded the entire team's micro-operations.
He, no matter how talented he was, couldn't last long. After he had made 11 mistakes, Carlisle had no choice but to replace him.
Otherwise, he would be so afraid of the future Son of Dallas that he would not even be able to lift his hands.
This year, Dallas didn't want to go far at all. It just served as a training partner for the whole team. If 77 was injured, even if he was the coach, he would never be redeemed. Besides, such mistakes were too many, so he had to rest.
Come on.
Doncic was replaced due to a large number of mistakes in the late period.
And this time, it fell into Tang Qian's pre-game calculation. Without Doncic, the Mavericks team was really out of touch and fell into a one-on-one fight. This is why he wanted to strangle Doncic to death.
The reason is because this team relies too much on one person as a whole, and this style of play is too limited in the playoffs. You really can't play without several giants.
Didn’t you see that one of the strongest players in this style of play, LeBron James, also needs a giant partner to have a chance to win the championship?
Doncic doesn't have such a big name next to him, just a three-point inside lineman Porzingis who has just recovered from injury and has not yet returned to his best form. This is really not enough. Besides, his ability is not as good as James. Although the data
, is already much better looking than the second-year James. But the strength is far behind. Because in today's era, there is more space, higher rounds, and worse defense, so it is naturally easier to increase the data.
When Doncic left, Dallas immediately fell into a situation of a lot of random singles. Porzingis proved that he could not stay in New York. In addition to "running around" too frequently, his personal leadership ability was also quite poor.
Tim Hardaway II + Seth Curry all started to take action independently, and neither of them was good at connecting the whole team.
This is indeed far different from the second-year Doncic.
Then the Lakers easily beat their opponents 29-5. The final score was 120-99, and they won the second game of the series by 21 points. But because there were no spectators, it felt very much like a practice match.
No one was watching live, and Tang Qian also felt that something was missing, a little less exciting.
