Chapter 269: Hook You Didn't Discuss The Big Chapter~~
"Ramon, what's wrong with you? I asked you to control the rhythm. What are you doing? Go up and kill someone???" Mike Brown became angry and yelled at Ramon Sessions as soon as he got off the field.
Ramon Sessions didn't dare to say a word, because facing Russell Westbrook, he had no choice but to be beaten passively. It was still the kind of beating. Old people in the NBA often say that the NBA
The regular season and the playoffs are completely different things. Ramon Sessions didn't quite understand it before, but now, he finally understands.
He is also the kind of player who can only maintain the strength of the regular season. After entering the playoffs, he immediately appears weak and weak, and his overall strength seems to be in a straight downward trend. Of course, the decline in his own strength is false, and the increase in the opponent's strength is real. Using conventional methods
If you compete in the playoffs in a competitive state, it will only turn into shit.
No exaggeration at all.
In Ramon Sessions' 20 games with the Lakers during the regular season, his average field goal percentage was as high as 47.9%. He was very good and top-notch. Even many Lakers fans had high hopes for him. One game after another.
The No. 1 player who played 30 minutes each averaged 12.7+3.8+6.2, which is better than the "old fish" in any way. But the good times did not last long. After coming to the playoffs, Ramon.
Sessions' personal level has dropped by several levels. In the last round against the Nuggets, his shooting percentage dropped to 38.8%. What about his 3-point shooting percentage? It's even worse. Compared with 48.6% in the regular season, it was only 38.8%.
He dropped 19%. This shocked many of his fans. At first, people thought he had developed a fixed-point three-pointer. Now, they were instantly disillusioned. You must know that in the last round of the series, the people he faced were,
But Ty Lawson is only 180cm tall, but this does not bring him any statistical advantage.
As for some people saying that Kobe took away his right to take shots, that is even more nonsense, because compared to the 8.8 shots taken in the regular season, Ramon Sessions' shot number increased instead of falling in the playoffs, rising to an average of 9.5 per game.
shots. Moreover, the average shot distance only increased by a few tenths of a foot, which had no impact at all on outside players.
So in a very simple sense, Ramon Sessions is a regular season player, at least for now, that's what he is like.
After Mike Brown vented for a while, he rearranged his tactics and said: "I will execute tactics No. 17 later, offensive core, Bynum, everyone..."
But just one minute later, Mike Brown had to call another team timeout.
There is only one reason. Anzhu was in foul trouble. Just after he came on the court, he was successfully killed by Westbrook in the inside and received his fourth foul of the game. Now just 5 and a half minutes have passed in the third quarter. In order to prevent Anzhu from committing a foul.
After graduation, Mike Brown had no choice but to replace him.
"Hot, you go up, change the inside attack point, and play the No. 21 tactic. Paul is responsible for the low post attack, and Bryant takes the lead on the outside." Mike Brown had no choice but to urgently modify the on-court tactics.
"Strengthen defense, strengthen defense, don't forget it!" Before taking the field, Mike Brown stood on the bench and reminded loudly.
50-64, by the time Tang Qian came on the court, the Lakers were already 14 points behind.
When a person is in a strong state, the body's functionality will be better and less prone to fatigue. On the contrary, the opposite is true.
14 points. When seeing this score difference, the Lakers players always feel like there is a dark cloud hanging over their heads.
At this moment, the Lakers had a staffing crisis.
If possible, Mike Brown really wants to replace Ramon Sessions, but now the Lakers have limited number 1 positions. If Steve Blake is used, the defensive loopholes will be even greater, because only physical fitness
In this aspect, he is not as strong as Sessions. To defend the Thunder's No. 2 position like this, maybe Thabo Sefolosha can become an offensive point.
If this really happens, then there will be no need to play this game.
The Lakers attacked and Gasol played in the low post, but the effect was not very good because the Thunder and the Nuggets are different. They have a meat shield type inside. Kendrick Perkins and Gasol are not Bainer.
Well, he is not a heavy inside man and weighs only 260 pounds. But what about Perkins? Although he is only 208cm tall, 5cm shorter than Gasol, his tonnage has reached 288.9 pounds, which is more than 28 pounds more than the latter.
He is short in height, and his center of gravity and chassis are more stable than the Spaniard, so he can hold the ball in the low post and beat Perkins. Gasol does not take much advantage. Moreover, the Thunder also have Ibaka, who is ready to bounce at any time.
With the aid of defense and blockade, the Spaniards' situation was actually very difficult.
It's not that Gasol's low-post ability is not as good as that of An Zhu, it's just that "he specializes in skills" and can attack short and fat heavy insiders. The larger tonnage of An Zhu will undoubtedly have an advantage. After all, more than 20 pounds of muscle is nothing.
Yes, this is where it comes in.
Gasol missed the hook shot and the basketball missed the basket. Tang Qian's competitive state dropped a lot tonight, reaching 21%, so it is extremely normal that he could not grab this offensive rebound.
The Thunder launched a fast break. This is the benefit of a young team. What's more, the Thunder team in the 2011-2012 season was full of birds and beasts.
No one could hold him down. Durant received the pass from Westbrook and successfully hit the basket with one arm. Bang~, the score difference reached 16 points.
Subtle changes have occurred in the hearts of the Lakers players. The shadow of the last big defeat seems to have returned to their hearts.
Brush~
Kobe Bryant scored a personal single, but it was of little use. Turning around, Kevin Durant returned the favor. He passed Ci Shiping and hit a mid-range shot. 52-68,
The score difference is still 16 points.
Kobe played very hard in this game. It should be said that he has not played so hard in a long time. Defending Westbrook is almost not a job done by one person. The opponent's flexibility, explosiveness, and impact are all
Among the players he has faced, they are absolutely top-notch. This makes it extremely difficult for Kobe, who will turn 34 in more than three months, to defend.
Originally, tonight, his physical condition was very bad, but he also encountered a physical monster like Westbrook. Therefore, Kobe's physical fitness tank dropped rapidly. It was only halfway through the third quarter, and he already had a tendency to gasp for breath.
Kobe looked up at the scorer. He was a little annoyed. He thought that if it didn't work, he would force the individual singles mode to give the team one last try.
This was a common practice during his peak period, and the effect was simple and crude, but this season, he...
Tang Qian glanced at Lakers No. 24. Is he going to start fighting alone again?
No, I want to help him tonight! I want to help him change the adverse trend! I want to help him change the situation of the battle!
Tang Qian thought, then entered a different space and activated a white and silver ability card.
"Brian, I feel like we are about to win. What else do the Lakers have now except Kobe? The offense is weak at every point." Grant Landau, the Thunder's home commentator. "Yes, the Lakers have already
The sun is setting, and we are no longer the invincible and gorgeous team we were a few years ago. It is destined to lose to Oklahoma City." Another on-site commentator, Brian Davis, also nodded in agreement.
"The Lakers are dead. The future belongs to us in Oklahoma!" Grant Landau: "I think the Thunder can sweep the Lakers 4-0. What do you think? Brian?"
"4-0? That's too miserable, isn't it? I think 4-1 is more appropriate~ After all, we still have to give the people of Los Angeles some face~" Brian Davis replied.
"Yep~ Brian, when did you become such a gentleman? It's better to be more domineering on the basketball court!" Grant Lando: "Look at the Dallas people who killed the Lakers' three consecutive championships last year, and look at what people said, FO-FO
-FO! This is so awesome!"
"Okay~ That's true~" Brian Davis shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Momentum is also very important, isn't it? Grant."
"How many years have the Thunder been established? If they can successfully reach the finals, or even directly win the cup, it will definitely be a piece of league history and a good story in the league~"
"We'll do it, our boys have been great all season~"
"Bryant, Paul, pass me some balls later~ I feel like I have a good touch tonight~" Tang Qian walked to Kobe and Gasol and took the initiative to say. Kobe glanced at Tang Qian
, because the bench players take the initiative to ask for the right to take action, which is not common in the NBA. Let alone a key game like the playoffs?
"Tang, stop joking. Now we should pursue stability and hit rate, rather than winning by surprise!" When Gasol heard this, he shook his head and objected. It was not because he was afraid that Tang Qian would steal his ball rights, but it was just a situation like this.
, it is really critical. If they return to Los Angeles with a big score of 0-2, the pressure on the Lakers team will definitely be very high.
Kobe did not answer immediately. He looked at the Chinese man who was over 7 feet tall, rolled his eyes, and then opened his mouth and said: "Tang, are you serious? How sure are you?"
When Tang Qian heard this, he patted his chest and said, "Ten percent."
…
"Kobe, do you really want to do this? Give him a ball with someone who is not very reliable offensively?" Gasol said with some worry, because he is also an inside player, so he is really unsure about Tang Qian's true strength.
, quite clear. When it comes to rebounds and blocks, the opponent may be pretty good, but when it comes to scoring in singles... is this a joke? How many times have you seen him succeed in singles during training games?
When Kobe heard this, he turned around and said, "I said this was my intuition. Do you believe it? Paul?"
Kobe's answer made Gasol slightly stunned. After a while, he said: "Intuition? Kobe, is this too hasty?"
"No." Kobe recalled the scenes of Tang Qian's game in his mind and said: "A teammate who dares to spend his entire career just to block a ball is worthy of my trust."
…
The Thunder have made substitutions. This is the difference between Scott Brooks and Mike Brown. He will allocate the physical strength of the main players more reasonably to maintain the efficiency of the lineup. Mike Brown may be in the Cavaliers
Being used to it, being ruthless and manipulating the main force has become his basic habit. Now even if he wants to change it, he can't change it.
The current lineup of the Thunder is: PG Derek Fisher, SG James Harden, SF Kevin Durant, PF Nick Collison, C Serge Ibaka.
"Nick, help Serge defend Gasol later. As for No. 29, as long as he can't get to the basket, you don't need to worry about him." These words were spoken by former Lakers player Derek Fei.
Scheer said that he has been with the Lakers for more than 40 games this season and is quite familiar with some of Tang Qian's technical characteristics.
The entire Thunder team is very accepting of this veteran's suggestions. After all, he has five rings and has played in countless finals. In terms of playoff experience, the entire Thunder team combined is not as strong as him. So.
Durant thought for a moment and agreed to Fisher's suggestion.
But soon, the Lakers gave "Old Fish" a slap in the face, because on the offensive end of the Lakers, No. 29 turned out to be in the penalty area!
What is going on? The Thunder team is a little confused! "Old Fish" is also a little confused!
"It's just a bluff. It may be that the Lakers are desperate, so they resort to the 'surprise attack' tactic. Don't be panicked!" Fisher is Fisher after all. He has plenty of experience in the playoffs, so he immediately
He reacted and said.
Everyone in the Thunder team thought about it and thought it was true. How could an Asian center with a mere 2.9 points in the regular season make waves?
"Nick, don't be fooled by them. That Easterner has no ability to attack independently!" After hearing Fisher's words, Nick Collison nodded, because before the game, the Thunder had already studied the members of the Lakers.
Constituted. Hot money, No. 29 of the Lakers. In the last round of the series, three games were zero and only 2 points were scored in one game. The main scoring methods were air cuts, runs, secondary attacks, and alley-oop dunks. Just pay attention.
With these points in mind, you basically don’t have to worry about the opponent’s score.
Collison's defensive end is not to say very strong, but he is very resilient and good at "stalking". If an inside line with insufficient tonnage encounters him, he will definitely suffer a big loss.
"Come on, Asian guy, you can't score!" Nick Collison looked at Tang Qian's figure and size, and said with confidence in his eyes. He was not afraid of this slender center inside at all.
Especially since the opponent's scoring methods are declining, there is no need to worry. Collison is indeed not as tall as Tang Qian, but in terms of tonnage, he weighs 116 kilograms, which is 255 pounds, which is lower than Tang Qian now.
It's about 10 pounds heavier.
Therefore, Nick Collison has considerable confidence in top defense.
As long as the opponent can't get to the basket or reach the deep low post, then with his poor scoring ability, he can pinpoint him!
In fact? Under normal circumstances, there would be no problem with his judgment. But unfortunately, Tang Qian has been blessed with ability cards.
And it’s a silver-level ability card!
This is definitely not the usual Tang Qian!
"Really?" After Tang Qian received Kobe's pass, he suddenly said to Nick Collison: "You can't do it tonight."
What? Collison was stunned for a moment, then saw the tall yellow figure in front of him, suddenly turned around, faced himself, and made a straight-arm hook.
A shot? Or a hook shot? There's no way it's going in!
After Fisher saw the ball, he subconsciously shouted: "Prepare to protect the rebound, he will definitely not make the shot!"
Then the next second.
Brush~
The basketball easily got into the Thunder's net.
In? In???
Fisher felt his face turn red for no reason, because he had just said that Lakers No. 29 had no offensive ability, and immediately his opponent made a hook shot. What is this called? This is called a loss of face! This is
It’s called a slap in the face!
54-68.
The Thunder attacked, Fisher missed a three-pointer, and Tang Qian protected the defensive rebound.
Against Nick Collison, who averages only 4+ rebounds per game, he can still handle it easily.
Even if his competitive status drops by 21%, he can still handle the Thunder's No. 4.
Sessions held the ball for half the game. After the defender became "Old Fish", his steps suddenly became much lighter. Compared with the Thunder's No. 0, "Old Fish"'s defensive speed was more than 3 gears slower.
?After the pick-and-roll, the ball was passed to Gasol. Gasol faked a shot, attracting Ibaka to follow him. Then the Spaniard immediately waved his hand, and the orange basketball accurately inserted into the Thunder's inside space.
.
It’s the 29th again? What’s going on?
Fisher felt like his brain couldn't keep up with the rhythm, because when he was in the Lakers, he didn't remember such a No. 1 offensive tactic!
No, don’t be fooled, it was just good luck! This time, he will definitely...
However, before he could finish his thoughts, the crisp sound of hanging the net sent another shock wave to "Old Fish".
56-68.
Harden of the Thunder made a personal attack, but how could Kobe let him go so easily? He went directly from the top arc to the right baseline. Harden had no choice but to resort to the "porcelain trick" that was not yet fully developed. It's a pity.
, Kobe is still one of the top five superstars in the league, so in terms of penalty standards and star whistles, he and Harden, a third-year player, can't get their turn.
"Rebound!" When Kobe saw Harden take action, he knew it was impossible to score, so he loudly reminded the inside line.
Gasol got this rebound. Maybe Ibaka's athletic ability is much better than that of the Spaniard. He can rebound rebounds, especially protecting backcourt rebounds. He and Gasol are not on the same level. Gasol is 36 years old.
He can average 11+ rebounds per game, but what about Ibaka? His career-high season is only 8.8, which will not be achieved until the 2013-14 season. Now he is only in his "third year", and his average rebounds per game in the season has never been
Never exceeded 8+.
This is the absolute advantage of a 7-footer in the paint. The taller you are, theoretically speaking, the sooner you can hit the rebound. A short center like Ibaka, who is bouncy, cannot do this. In order to
To reach a higher control point, he must jump up. In this way, there is an extra step and a procedure, which slows down the best opportunity to grab rebounds.
The Lakers advanced quickly and handed the basketball to Kobe. Kobe held the ball outside the 3-point line at a 45-degree angle on the left, looking ready to attack at any time. "Keep an eye on Harden. He has lost his physical fitness now and his breakthrough speed is limited. Use
Don’t let it go too far!” This was another “suggestion” from “Old Fish” Fisher. It can be said that he knew Kobe very well.
Kobe glanced at Thunder's No. 37, but suppressed his desire to attack and waited for all Lakers players to be in position before starting to dribble.
In order to prevent Kobe from suddenly attacking, the Thunder's defensive side naturally shifted to Kobe's ball-handling side.
This is the "illustrious reputation" that Kobe has gained over the past ten years. No team in the entire league dares to say that he is not afraid of it.
But this time, Kobe chose to pass the ball, and the basketball... was passed to the hands of Lakers No. 29 again!
"What? Damn it!" Fisher saw Tang Qian holding the ball inside again, and quickly said to Nick Collison: "Hold him Nick, don't let him go deep!"
But his prediction was wrong again, because No. 29 of the Lakers had no intention of going further. He made a half-hook from the left side of the 3-second zone, and the basketball continued to fall into the net.
brush!
58-68, the Thunder seemed to be stunned. Tang Qian's sudden attack caught them unexpectedly.
Nick Collison was the most "wandering" because the opponent didn't even look at him when he was hooking. That kind of naked demonstration made him a little "at a loss" and didn't know what to do. His original defensive plan was
He stalked the opponent, relying on his own weight and center of gravity to resist the opponent, preventing the opponent from getting into the basket. But tonight, this Oriental man had no intention of going deep into the basket, and just raised his head high.
Fighting, with the advantages of height and wingspan, he was able to force a hook from behind him, leaving him completely helpless.
Nick Collison's athletic ability is average, so he can only watch Tang Qian's ball without any chance of blocking it.
"Nick, what are you doing? Watch out in front of you!" Nick Collison received the baseline pass and was about to pass it to Kevin Durant in front, when James Harden suddenly shouted and reminded Nick Collison.
Leeson looked "drowsily" and at some point, a purple-gold figure had already jumped between him and Kevin Durant's passing route.
Pa~
Nick Collison's pass was intercepted, and then a gust of wind passed by him, and he made an emergency stop at the Thunder's three-point line.
Brush~
Kobe Bryant made a steal and a counterattack three-pointer, and instantly the score difference between the two teams jumped to within single digits.
61-68, in just 4 minutes, the Lakers launched a 9-0 spurt.
Upon seeing this, the Thunder immediately called a timeout.
