The Lakers' No. 12 hitter fouled, and the Thunder's No. 23 made two free throws!!!
Just three minutes into the fourth quarter, Howard was forced to take a rest due to five fouls. The Lakers' weak perimeter defense put a huge burden and pressure on the team's interior. It cannot be said that Howard's defense is not good, it's just that
The Oklahoma City Thunder's impact is too fierce. The nickname "Birds and Beasts Brigade" is not for nothing.
It is understandable that Howard's defensive effectiveness was not good due to his back injury and mood problems.
Swish~78-95, the score difference between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger.
Okay, it's almost time to start.
Tang Qian glanced at the timer, then decisively entered the "different space" and activated a bronze power amplification card.
This bronze power amplification card is Tang's "reward" when his potential power crystal bricks break through to six. Now ability cards are becoming more and more difficult to obtain, so he must use them on the edge every time. Strive for the "highlight" in the national live broadcast
Moment", fighting for the weight of the team in Mike D'Antoni's mind, this is what Tang Qian should do now.
Although it is difficult to get ahead in "Luxury Battleship", it also means great incentives, great challenges, and great excitement. If this competitive pressure from within the team can be properly used, the players' personal abilities will be rapidly improved.
And transformation. Kobe back then and Harden now are both typical examples. The reason is very simple. If you don’t work hard and make progress, you will be eliminated.
Replaced by latecomers.
The team boss can be driven out of his position, and the ordinary bench is rotated, so how can there be anything "not for sale"?
Tang Qian wanted to use this kind of pressure to forcefully catalyze and transform, so as to unleash the greatest potential in the shortest time.
People who understand this kind of mood naturally don't need to say much. People who don't understand, even if you talk to them for the first time, they will only think that you are a fool, an idiot and a three-level idiot.
Tang Qian's current total statistics are 3 blocks, 4 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists. He is still 3 blocks, 1 assist, 10 rebounds and 16 points short of the "Dashuai Zhang" data challenge. It seems to be out of reach.
But using ability cards is not completely impossible.
At least the bronze finish is guaranteed, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
This is enough for Tang Qian. As long as he does not fail the challenge and deduct two ability crystal bricks, then any degree of completion is good and acceptable.
But now that Howard is off the court and replaced by Jordan Hill in the paint, Tang Qian has been provided with further opportunities and space to "brush up data". How could he miss such a good opportunity? So there is nothing to say, and he immediately
The bronze power amplifying card was activated in the "different space".
With a flash of light, the bronze power amplifying card was successfully activated.
Within five minutes, increase body strength by 0.5 times.
Immediately, Tang Qian felt that his body was as hot as if it had been filled with flames.
Seeing that he was behind by so many points, Kobe lost his temper and gradually began to enter the "take over the game" mode.
But tonight, he exerted a lot of physical energy, because obviously compared to last season, Russell Westbrook has greatly improved and grown, and what about Kobe? Although the vitality of the knee seems to be temporary
He has recovered a lot, but his physical fitness and physical function are both slowly declining. Compared with last season, he has made no progress but retreated. So it is not only half as difficult to restrict the Thunder's No. 0 than last season?
And the most direct consequence of reluctantly doing it, reluctantly using "offense and defense", is that Kobe's physical fitness dropped sharply in the fourth quarter, and he could no longer maintain his former title of "Mr. Key".
Duang~Kobe Bryant jumped sideways and stopped to shoot. Although he got rid of the defender, the ball did not enter the basket as expected.
"Damn it! Rebound!" Kobe shouted loudly as soon as he landed, but it was very difficult to get a rebound for this ball.
Because the Thunder's inside line has already set up a defensive lineup, the golden triangle area under the basket to grab rebounds is tightly locked, giving the Lakers no chance to cut in or rush for the ball. But this ball cannot stop Tang Qian now.
Tang Qian made a hard squeeze and broke the position of "meat forward" Kendrick Perkins. Then under the nose of Serge Ibaka, he dunked into the basket with both hands.
With a "bang" sound, the Thunder's basket made a sound like it was falling apart.
Tang Qian's strength this season is much stronger than last season, and with the blessing of the Bronze Strength Amplifier Card, he simply destroyed the Thunder's defensive rebounding position. At this moment, Kendrick Parkin
Si was looking at Tang Qian with a confused look on his face, looking at the Lakers No. 29 from the Eastern country.
What just happened? Was my weight of 288 pounds fake?
80-95, the Lakers' offensive opportunities in this round were not wasted.
When the Thunder attacked, Westbrook broke through the basket, faked a layup, and passed the basketball to Kendrick Perkins on the side. After Perkins got the ball, he hesitated slightly and did not make a layup.
The shot was released in one shot.
what's the situation???
When Westbrook saw this situation, he immediately shouted: "What are you doing??? Shoot immediately!!! Shoot!!!"
After Westbrook called him this, Perkins also reacted and quickly shot from the bottom line on the left side of the basket.
Pa~
As a result, Tang Qian suffered a huge blow.
But Westbrook reacted very quickly, and because of his short height, he bent down and picked up the ball on the floor that Tang Qian had blocked.
Take decisive action.
This is to beat the Lakers without a response.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for Westbrook to play like this with his height, but the second attack is conducive to the offensive side's time difference, so Westbrook did not hesitate and chose to take off in an instant. Standing in front of him was Jordan Hill.
I couldn't react at all. I didn't even jump, and just watched the Thunder's second offensive shot under the No. 0 basket.
Westbrook's offensive awareness is indeed very strong, but Tang Qian has already noticed this. After blocking Kendrick Perkins, he immediately turned around and moved towards the other side of the penalty area.
The moment Westbrook's basketball just left his hand, Tang Qian raised his right arm and slapped him with a palm.
Pa~
Once again, the Thunder's offense was blocked.
Kobe Bryant of the Lakers shot straight into the penalty area and caused a defensive foul on Serge Ibaka of the Thunder.
Swish~ Made two free throws, and the basketball hit the net accurately~
82-95, the score difference is still 13 points.
But this season's Thunder are no weaklings. In terms of personal abilities, both Durant and Westbrook have reached new peaks in their lives, especially Kevin Durant. So far this season, his shooting percentage has exceeded 54%.
, the PER efficiency value has also reached 28+ for the first time. This is almost sufficient preparation for the "top" next season.
You must know that in the NBA, the average efficiency value is about 15, and those who can reach 20 are basically star players. Although this calculation formula still has huge flaws, for example, all-round players generally have a higher PER."
The type of "being a father and being a mother" has even more explosive PER values, but for amateur fans, it is already a more authoritative method of calculating efficiency values.
So it goes without saying that Kevin Durant hit a 2-point ball on Metta Shiping's head.
Brush~
The basketball is accurately dropped into the pocket.
82-97.
As expected of Kevin Durant, he is sure and ruthless, but tonight, I want to win!
No one can stop me!
After the Lakers made a few passes, the basketball flew into the hands of Jordan Hill. Although Hill will be known as the "Central Shooting Boy" in later generations, his mid-range shooting ability has not been fully developed this season.
So even if he was open, he couldn't throw the basketball into the basket.
When~
It hit the front edge of the basket.
"Get a rebound!"
This ball is absolutely impossible to lose!
The Thunder's Serge Ibaka and Kendrick Perkins looked at each other, and then formed a "one block and one grab" combination with great tacit understanding. This rebounding defense method is almost the current league's standard.
Mainstream, due to the scarcity of big centers and the rise of outside players, this seemingly "ridiculous" inside combination emerged.
However, this usually tried and tested method of grabbing boards was easily broken by Tang Qian.
There was no blocking or counter blocking, just a brute force squeeze, and the Thunder's rebounding defense immediately collapsed.
Then Tang Qian got the rebound, dunked and hit the ball into the net.
Bang~
84-97.
this……
"Kendrick! What did you do! Why didn't you block his path to grab the board???" Serge Ibaka also said with a look of resentment after being repeatedly picked off the board and dunked in the paint. "I, I
I don’t know, this Chinese guy’s power is really too strong~” Faced with Kendrick Perkins’ explanation, Serge Ibaka was obviously dissatisfied. He opened his mouth and said: “He has a lot of power.
What's the use? Blocking people at the basket is mainly about tonnage and skills. He can't just push you away, can he? Do you really think that your 288 pounds of flesh are in vain?"
"You must defend the next ball well and block him on the route!"
"Okay, I get it." Kendrick Perkins said, but there was another voice in his heart:
It’s impossible to just push it away? What if I tell you that this is the truth?
Would you believe it?
M.D! Maybe I don’t even believe it myself!
"Bryant, you focus on attacking, and the defense adopts the strategy of guarding against shots. As for if they want to break through the inside and get to the basket, just give up one side and I will help you cover up." Tang Qianqian.
When retreating from defense, I told Kobe that after all, he is just a center inside, and he is not suitable for quickly chasing points when behind by a big score. Moreover, if the second attack just made one or two times, the opponent will be on guard.
It becomes extremely difficult to score an easy goal every now and then. Tang Qian wants to win this game, so he must choose a plan with the highest success rate.
No matter how strong the Bronze Power Amplifier card is, it has its limit. It is impossible to push and dunk every ball, otherwise it will be easily targeted by the opposing team. If it becomes a defense, with Tang Qian's inside offensive ability, it will not be possible at all.
I can't afford to overturn many storms.
So staying close to the basket is Tang Qian's first choice right now.
In this way, you can play a second offense when entering, and you can grab offensive rebounds when returning, killing two birds with one stone.
"Get aside and break through? Are you sure?" Kobe is no stranger to this defensive tactic. This is an advanced defensive technique for dealing with breakthrough masters. To put it simply, the defender takes the initiative to select the opponent's offensive line, and then
A defensive strategy in which tall teammates on the inside are used to cover up the defense. However, to implement this defensive strategy, the ability of the players on the inside to cover up the defense is extremely high. If you are not careful, it is easy to "steal the chicken but lose the rice", and instead become
Taking the initiative to "lead the wolf into the house".
In the O.K. era, Kobe and O'Neal had engaged in this kind of defensive cooperation, but not many times. Because their personal abilities were both at their peak at the time, the pride in their characters made them instinctively refuse to do so.
&o.One is the defensive style they like.
Therefore, the San Antonio Spurs are the best at using this defensive tactic in the league right now.
Although Duncan's dynamic physical test has never been particularly good, with his abnormal static physical test and super judgment, his blocking numbers have always been at the top level for insiders under 7 feet. Even at the age of 40, his average blocks per game are still maintained.
At a good level, this defensive tactic undoubtedly makes a huge contribution.
Originally, the Lakers also had the capital to play this. After all, "Warcraft" Howard's physical talent is not covered by it. Unfortunately, Howard is trapped by a back injury and cannot exert his full strength, and the overall tacit understanding and chemical reaction of the Lakers have also caused
It is difficult to implement this defensive tactic. So Tang Qian suddenly proposed to do this, and Kobe inevitably had to ask a few more questions.
If this defensive tactic is played well, it is a bunker, but if it is played poorly, it will bring humiliation to oneself.
Kobe couldn't help but be cautious.
Faced with Kobe's question, Tang Qian shrugged his shoulders and said: "This is the best way to defend now, isn't it? Otherwise, you don't know how bad the Lakers' perimeter defense is. If you want to win, you want to overtake."
, the only way to take risks is to take risks." Tang Qian's words actually included Kobe, because the Lakers' No. 24 also counts as an outside defender. But Kobe didn't get angry immediately. He just looked at the Oriental in front of him.
Then he said in a deep voice: "Then try it. I hope you are not talking nonsense."
"Don't worry, Mr. Bryant, I will do my duty." Tang Qian and Kobe said.
The basketball was passed to Serge Ibaka. Ibaka made a layup from a long distance. "Pa~", he was rejected by Tang Qian again.
Tang Qian's current block and defensive crystal tiles are at the level of six and a half. If you want to hit him head-on like this, it is almost suicidal and courting death. Especially with the skills of Serge Ibaka.
He was not a very good player, and his success rate was extremely low, so Tang Qian took this opportunity to add another statistic to his technical statistics column.
"Grab the floor ball!!!" Kobe reminded loudly on the other side, but these outside players on the Lakers field almost all have old arms and legs, and no physical agility, so the basketball is given to Westbrook, who has quick eyes and hands.
Touched it. This season, Westbrook's physical fitness has obviously improved to a certain extent, and his instantaneous explosive power has become even more powerful.
Seeing Westbrook get the ball, Kobe immediately ran over to defend, but Westbrook has the kind of "fearless" personality, he doesn't care whether you are Kobe or Jordan, labor and capital are just one word, do it!!
!And he has great confidence in his hard training during the offseason.
Kobe Bryant? You're another year older, right? Do you think you can still block me every ball with the current situation?
I tell you.
That's a dream!!!
Westbrook took a breath, then forced a breakthrough under Kobe's nose, and then made a "violent layup", easily ending the offensive round. 84-99, the point difference was widened to 15 points.
It can be seen from this defensive ball that Kobe Bryant in the 2012-2013 season could no longer control the Thunder's No. 0. Even if he forced a break, the latter could take advantage of the offensive and defensive duels.
Kobe, starting from this season, has indeed gradually been unable to defend top breakthrough players.
Especially for players like Westbrook, who don't rely much on skills, but rely on physical fitness to break through, it has been difficult for Kobe to completely defend him this season. For players who use skills to break through, Kobe can also rely on experience and excellent predictions to make breakthroughs.
It's restricted, but facing a breakthrough player like Westbrook, his body can no longer keep up with his defensive awareness. It may sound a bit mysterious, but people who play basketball know very well what this means.
Especially some "old boys" who are getting older know better what this feels like.
Maybe everyone can feel it more clearly if I change it to a four-character idiom.
Out of power.
After Kobe saw Westbrook break through his defense and score, his expression looked a little surprised and a little numb. His expression seemed to say, how could I not defend this kind of ball?
Are you... really old?
After Kobe was silent for a few seconds, he turned to Tang Qian and said, "On the 29th, I will do as you say."
"As long as we can win in the end...that's fine!"
