Kobe's touch finally recovered, and it was similar to what Tang Qian remembered. In the last quarter and overtime, he turned into the "Black Mamba" again.
But tonight, I won't let overtime happen again.
Because I want to kill my opponent directly.
Otherwise, what’s the point of opening a silver rebound card?
As if they could see what Lakers No. 29 was thinking, David Lee and Festus Ezeli looked at each other and strengthened their rebound protection for the Warriors' basket. But this had no effect. Ci
After Shiping missed a three-pointer, Tang Qian withstood two people, then grabbed the offensive rebound. Then without any explanation, he rose up from the ground and hit the Warriors' basket with both hands.
BANG!!!
In terms of bullet speed, both David Lee and Festus Ezeli are not on the same level as Tang Qian.
It's too far gone.
In order not to waste the effect of the ability card and maximize its effectiveness, Tang chose to block the potential defensive rebound to help Jordan Hill, who came on the bench, get the rebound. And he himself would fully compete for the offensive rebound.
Because the value of offensive rebounds is now far greater than defensive rebounds.
This trade-off is not difficult to make.
When~
The Warriors' shooting percentage has also dropped. Even the Splash Brothers can't maintain the level of hitting 100% of their shots. This is the Lakers' opportunity. Kobe makes an air cut from the inside to the outside, and then shoots a three-pointer, swipe~,
Hit the Warriors basket.
In fact, Kobe's open three-pointers are very good, but in the Black Mamba's career, there were few open three-pointers. In addition, Kobe's shot selection was extremely problematic, so this led to his three-pointers.
The rate has never exceeded 40%. Of course, you can think so. In this case, X.J.B.T can still maintain a career close to 33% of three-pointers. It is the only one in the NBA, and there is no other semicolon.
But soon, the Warriors returned a long two-pointer. Tang Qian was powerless against this kind of ball. After all, he was an inside player, and it was difficult for him to take into account the defensive side beyond the penalty area. Even if he occasionally defended, that was
It is impossible for a small number to stay outside and defend all the time. This is the flaw of the center. It is not a question of whether you are flexible or physically fit, but it is determined by the definition of the center position. Their main task is to guard the inside.
It’s not just about defending the outside. If a center has strong inside defense but average or even poor outside defense, then he can be called a strong defensive center. But if the other way around is that the inside defense is weak, then no matter how strong your outside defense is,
He will also be labeled as an interior center who plays poor defense.
The center is the basket, the paint area, and the spokesperson for the inside. As for the rest, they are all additional and dispensable.
Don't use the clips of a few centers defending the outside line as an argument. That's called special, not universal. You can clearly know this by looking at the total defensive ratio. Olajuwon has the longest effective defensive distance among centers, but he
The proportion of outside defense is also extremely limited. Most of the time, they still guard the basket and the penalty area. If a team wants the center to frequently expand the defense and cover the outside, then this team must be a big bad team.
You can do it once, twice or three times. If you do it like this for the whole game, even Olajuwon will have a nervous breakdown and his defensive efficiency will be greatly reduced. Besides, where is the center's strongest defensive area? Of course it is the penalty area under the basket.
The outside is never an area that a center should pay too much attention to.
Are these guys really so accurate? Steve Nash couldn't help but think to himself when he saw the opponent immediately hit the ball in return. After all, as the originator of the league's run-and-gun tactics, his understanding of small-ball tactics is far more advanced.
Deeper than anyone on the Lakers.
Kobe once again ran and shot without the ball, but this time, the Warriors obviously strengthened their control over Kobe. Playing without the ball is completely different from playing with the ball. Once the opponent starts to stare at him regardless of the cost, it will always be difficult.
Find big open opportunities. Although Kobe's off-ball ability is top-notch, it is far from the level of the "Splash Brothers" who were the strongest in history.
This is not to say that Kobe is not strong. He can quickly switch modes after more than ten years of playing style, and he can also reach the top of the league. This is already a very impressive achievement. It can even be said that there are few ball-carrying stars in history.
No matter how strong he is, there is a limit. Only in the future will the "Splash Brothers" let the world know what it means to be the strongest without the ball in history.
To be exaggerated, the Warriors' No. 30 and No. 11 have directly raised the upper limit of the best without the ball in history.
Before them, the strongest representatives without the ball were Richard Hamilton and Reggie Miller, but as far as Tang Qian was concerned, they were indeed very strong, but compared with the "Splash Brothers", they were still far behind. This
This is not a matter of favoring the present over the past. Hamilton's off-ball tactics are mainly concentrated within the three-point line. His career average of 1.7 three-pointers per game is evidence of this. His off-ball style of play and limited range are not as good as the "Splash Brothers"
"The range is invincible. What about Reggie Miller? There is no solution for three-pointers without the ball. In the Eastern Conference finals that year, the three-pointer that pushed away Joe God was even more wonderful. But looking at the data, he is really worse than the "Splash Brothers"
Far away, whether it is the number of three-pointers or shooting percentage, they are not on the same level as the latter. What's more, the "Splash Brothers" relied on shooting to destroy the league and win the championship. This is Reggie Miller far away
Far from comparable.
Of course, talking about big-hearted shooting is another story. For now, I’m just talking about pure off-ball ability.
Moreover, even the "Splash Brothers" will be much inferior without the ball when faced with the real "defensive intensity of the Finals", let alone Kobe Bryant, who became a monk halfway. So this ball is forged.
"Damn! Rebound!" Kobe said.
"David, Festus protect the rebound!" This is the cry of Curry of the Warriors.
"Okay~ Leave it to us~" David Lee had just finished saying that Tang Qian gave him a "slap", flew directly to grab the rebound, and then passed it to Kobe again, and Kobe's three-pointer was open.
Take action, brush~, the ball goes in!!!
What???
Curry felt a little annoyed, so he walked to the team insider and said loudly: "What's going on? Can't you two just handle one person? Besides, he's just an Oriental!" After hearing this, David.
Li and Festus Ezeli really want to complain, what is "just an East"? This guy is obviously the league's "Mr. 40+", okay? This kind of person is so good at rebounding.
Got it done?
It really hurts my back to stand and talk!
The Lakers have also increased their defensive intensity. Although the effect is not very obvious, it is the attitude after all, right?
Kobe saw the opportunity and actually intercepted Curry's dribble with his own hands. Before the Achilles tendon was ruptured, Kobe concentrated on defense for a certain period of time, which was quite scary. Although he could no longer use "offense and defense" for the whole game.
, but he can still do it if he uses it for one to half a quarter. What's more, the Lakers' inside line is very capable of covering up defense, which also saves him a lot of physical fitness and energy throughout the game.
Furthermore, playing without the ball is much less labor-intensive than the original method of playing with the ball.
Jordan's later transformation was the transition from holding the ball to not having the ball, so he could use up a lot of energy on the defensive end.
Otherwise, even if Joe's body was abnormal, he would not have been able to dominate the league until 1998.
After all, humans still have limits, it just depends on how you delay them.
This is the tactical arrangement that Mike D'Antoni gave Kobe Bryant. The first three and a half quarters were dedicated to off-ball offense. In the last half quarter, he returned to normalcy and still allowed the "Black Mamba" to take over the game with the ball. Kobe is not stupid. After last season's
After the defeat, he began to realize the importance of physical distribution, and playing without the ball is the most energy-saving tactical play on the offensive end. Moreover, after he tried it himself, he felt that it was not bad, and his shooting rate and efficiency were better than
In the past, it even rose instead of falling. This can be regarded as a workaround to delay the decline of competitive status.
Therefore, at this time, he still has enough energy to display his "offensive and defensive" state.
Boom~ Kobe made a solo fast break and successfully dunked with one hand, and the Lakers caught up with another 2-pointer.
Damn it, the ball was intercepted! This damn black mamba!
Curry shook his head in annoyance, but the desire to fight in his eyes did not diminish at all.
So what if you score? What if I score one too? Anyway, right now, our Golden State Warriors are in the lead!
Curry quickly calmed down his mood, and then in the offensive round, he made an emergency mid-range shot.
What is the strongest shooter in history? In the past, no one could sit firmly on this title, but since Stephen Curry was born, there is no doubt that it has become his exclusive title. When Tang Qian saw this basketball shot, he felt vaguely
I have heard the heartfelt voices of the Lakers and Nets.
It’s so accurate! Whether it’s 2 points or 3 points, it’s so accurate!
It's terrible to know that this is not his peak state!
However, tonight, unless you maintain a 100% shooting percentage from now on, you will not win!!!
As if they discovered Tang Qian's rebounding status tonight, the Lakers shot more decisively. In basketball, especially professional basketball, the more decisive the shot, the easier it is to hit the basket. Especially when you feel that there is a rebound inside, this kind of shot
status will be further improved.
Nash also made a three-pointer, brush~.
The Warriors took a three-pointer from the bottom corner. Duang~, the shot was a miss. Curry saw this and shouted to the inside: "Rebound!"
I don’t believe it, I can’t even grab a single rebound!
This game made David Lee feel very frustrated, because he is also one of the league's "double-double machines". This season, he ranks sixth in the league in rebounds per game. And so far in this game, his
The number of rebounds was only 2, and one of them was obtained because he picked up a "floor ball". Therefore, David Lee felt very frustrated and humiliated. Tang Qian helped Jordan Hill block this ball.
He caught someone, but he didn't expect that David Lee accelerated with all his strength and rushed directly past his inside blocker. Finally, he took off diagonally, one step ahead of Jordan Hill, and hit the rebound. Then he rushed out with all his strength,
It was difficult to win this offensive rebound.
This guy is so determined, I really underestimated him!
Tang Qian saw this and thought to himself, because under normal circumstances with this ball, even if the opponent wants to break through his inside blocker, he has to go around a certain distance, and it is impossible to reach the rebound point in a straight line. This circle is enough
Jordan Hill collected the rebound, but David Lee was obviously desperate for his life just now. Not only did he use force to reverse the huge inertia, but he also made a diagonal jump.
He didn't stand firm and rushed out in a "丿" shape. Only then could he break Tang Qian's time estimate and get the offensive rebound before Hill.
The most important thing is that with such a big man inside, there is a certain risk of injury.
But he still chose to do this.
From this point of view, Tang Qian admired him very much.
However, admiration is admiration, and he will not give in to the area where he should be guarded.
This is also Tang Qian’s basketball principle.
If I admire you, I will respond to you with all my strength, and I will use all my strength to deal with you.
This is the so-called "court appreciation code".
David Lee took advantage of Jordan Hill's lack of time to turn around and quickly took the ball towards the Lakers' inside line. Unlike Howard, he is a player with considerable manual skills.
As long as he gets to the basket, he can get two free throws.
This is what David Lee was thinking in his heart at this moment.
However, his wishful thinking failed, because someone slapped the basketball cleanly.
"Hey~ man, I won't let you score easily."
"Because this area is guarded by me, Tang Qian."
The basketball was passed to Nash's hands, and Nash led the Lakers to quickly counterattack, making a ground-breaking pass close to half court. Kobe just appeared in the open space, and then a one-handed dunk flew towards the Warriors' basket. "Bryan
"Special, don't think it's so easy!" Klay Thompson stared at No. 24, his deep ambition burning like a dark fire. Since he was born in the basketball world, his father was the 1978 NBA No. 1 pick, Mitchell Thompson.
, so he has had strong basketball literacy since he was a child. This also determines that Klay Thompson is not the kind of basketball player who "works as a monk and hits the clock every day". His future positioning is very clear, and he is to be the league's first point guard.
Location.
His father and agent Bill Duffy have expressed support and approval for this wish. They all think that Klay Thompson has this potential. At least in this era of poor positioning, he can try to be a king.
So the first thing he has to do now is to kill the number one point guard in the current league, Kobe Bryant.
To be honest, Klay Thompson is not without self-awareness. He has watched Kobe Bryant step by step since he was a child and became a signature player in the league. If this was the Black Mamba before the age of 32, he would not have any thoughts of challenge and confrontation.
Without it, the difference in competitive strength is too big and too far. It’s not that Klay Thompson doesn’t understand this problem.
But the key point is that Kobe is now 34 years old and heading towards 35. Except for Michael Jordan, no one can lead the league at this age. Athletes are still human after all, and humans cannot resist this natural law, so
Taking advantage of Kobe's aging, it is a good time for him to take advantage of the opportunity to rise to the top. Competition and elimination in the NBA league are very cruel. Thompson, who comes from a basketball family, cannot be unaware of this. Therefore, you must become famous as early as possible. The sooner you kill Kobe, the better.
The sooner we can usher in our own era.
Kobe seemed to read something from the opponent's eyes. Without saying a word, he exerted all his muscles and pushed Klay Thompson into him. Although Kobe had lost some weight before this season to maintain his condition,
He is still much thicker than Klay Thompson. Klay Thompson is 6 feet 7 inches tall but only weighs 205 pounds. This is really a little thin. Besides, Kobe has played in the league for so many years and his strength is quite good.
Not to mention the three positions in the frontcourt, at least in the backcourt, they are top-notch. Therefore, Klay Thompson only felt a tightness in his chest, and then with a "swipe" sound, the basketball hit the board and into the net.
Not only that, but then the referee's whistle also sounded.
No. 11 of the Warriors committed a defensive foul, which counted as a goal and an extra penalty goal.
Klay Thompson was suddenly in a daze, because in this defense, he "lost his wife and lost his troops", helping the Warriors get the worst defensive result.
"Boy, you want to guard me?" After Kobe landed, he turned and walked to the free throw line and said, "That's still too early."
Brush~
He didn't miss a free throw, hit it accurately, and scored a perfect 2+1.
It seems that Kobe finally recovered in the last half of the quarter, so the Lakers have a greater chance of winning.
"Defend, defend!" Although Mike D'Antoni shouted, the Warriors still threw a pick-and-roll mid-range shot. Curry's off-the-ball running shot made defender Steve Nash quite uncomfortable.
Kobe Bryant of the Lakers forced a layup, but unfortunately it was a little short and the basketball did not fall into the Warriors' basket.
"Get a rebound!!!"
David Lee and Festus Ezeli swore that they had tried their best to grab it, but this low rebound still fell into the hands of Lakers No. 29. Tang Qian was strong inside, and Carl Landry thought
He wanted to come over to make up for the defense, but the huge height difference made his efforts in vain. After all, Tang Qian this season is no longer the Tang Qian last season. His tonnage and strength have improved to a higher level. Only Carl Landry
This kind of "pseudo 6-foot-9" pocket insider can't even think about causing any trouble to Tang Qian deep under the basket.
Bang~
Tang Qian succeeded in dunking hard with both hands. Carl Landry's thug fouled, the goal counted, and one penalty was added.
Brush~
Thank God, Tang Qian made the extra free throw and scored another 2+1.
If this continues, they will definitely lose! Mark Jackson, the head coach of the Warriors, thought silently in his mind. Because of their huge disadvantage in rebounding, the Lakers became more relaxed and decisive in shooting, while the Warriors were just the opposite.
The more you throw, the tighter you become, and the more you throw, the greater the pressure you feel. Therefore, this situation must be changed.
"Karl, you go inside and help grab rebounds." After some careful consideration, Mark Jackson issued a tactical instruction.
"Shall I go? But Mr. Jackson, there is already..." Before Carl Landry finished speaking, Mark Jackson interrupted him: "I know, but Carl, didn't you hear what I said? I let
You go in and help!" Mark Jackson is also from the "player school" coaching system. He was an All-Star and won the assists title during his playing career, so he is quite persuasive among players. "I understand, coach.
, I will do my best!" When Carl Landry heard Mark Jackson say this, he didn't ask any more questions and immediately nodded in agreement.
Now that the game has come to an end, the Lakers' man-to-man tactics have changed slightly.
Kobe will guard the opposing player, Stephen Curry, while Nash will guard Klay Thompson.
Ace vs. ace, if this kind of scene occurs in the regular season, it will definitely be a critical decisive moment.
For example, now.
Facing Kobe, who had 9 first-defenses, Stephen Curry was not afraid, but was filled with war inside, because he was also the kind of player with a strong heart. Therefore, facing stronger players, he would not
I will be afraid, I will only challenge, I will only collide.
Kobe Bryant, the former king of the league? I'm going to penetrate your defense tonight and then cum in your face!
Stephen Curry made a gesture to spread the audience, which made Kobe's eyes suddenly become cold.
From Irving to Curry, it seems like the newcomers in the league now like to practice with me.
Okay, then let me give you a lesson.
When Tang Qian saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat for no reason, because in his impression, Curry had a very classic singles face. He shot Kobe's ball. He wouldn't show up tonight, would he? Tang Qian's heart
Zhongmo thought. But the facts proved that Tang Qian was overthinking. Before Kobe Bryant's Achilles tendon rupture, Curry had never had an easy time. As for those facial shots in singles, they all happened after 2013.
Prior to this, there were basically no commendable scenes of Curry playing against Kobe.
Kobe blocked Curry from the front!
Just like that day when Kyrie Irving was blocked!
Old Mamba defended his dignity once again!
The 2012-2013 season was indeed the Lakers' No. 24, the final peak, because there were too many classic offensive and defensive scenes.
On the offensive end, Kobe leaned back and easily taught Curry how to behave. On the defensive end, after Kobe's Achilles tendon rupture, he really couldn't suppress the Golden State Warriors' No. 30. But on the offensive end, even if he ruptured his Achilles tendon, that's not the case.
There is no doubt that Curry can easily beat Curry alone. After all, Curry's physical condition determines that he will never be able to become a defensive gate. "Integrated offense and defense" is a must-have skill package for the older generation of stars.
It can't be seen on his body.
Therefore, Curry is a star player in the new era. His personal ability needs to be placed in the team to maximize it. However, he is not outstanding when used alone to attack with the ball and in one-on-one offense and defense. This is an irrefutable fact.
Compared with the older generation of stars, Curry is more dependent on the team.
So playing oo.one with Kobe, who is at his peak and tail, is really not a wise decision.
After all, in the 2012-2013 season, Kobe was still the Black Mamba, wasn't he?
Jordan Hill took an open shot. Although Tang Qian didn't know why he took the shot, since he took the shot, the latter was fully focused and began to prepare for the offensive rebound. After seeing Tang Qian's action, the Warriors' head coach
He immediately stood on the sidelines and shouted: "Go up, Karl, go and kill him!"
"Oh~ what did I see? The Warriors used three players to fight with the Lakers' No. 29! This is simply the treatment of facing the league's top rebounder!!!" Bob Gerrard explained loudly into the microphone.
Said, Jim Barnett next to him also said: "This kind of grand scene of fighting for the basket, I haven't seen it for a long time, I miss it!"
"Chinaman! We will not give you this rebound!!!" The three Warriors members shouted loudly.
"Give? Do I need you to give in tonight?" Tang Qian responded: "As long as I want it, it's mine."
"It doesn't matter how many of you there are, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."
The basketball was like it had eyes. After hitting the basket, it flew directly into Tang Qian's hand.
Overwhelmed three people and picked up this offensive rebound!
Then Tang Qian immediately passed the ball. Steve Nash, who had been waiting outside the three-point line for a long time, took the shot and the clear sound of washing the net suddenly spread throughout Oracle Arena.
The Lakers once again took the lead.
The Warriors called a timeout, and it looked like Mark Jackson was about to make final tactical arrangements.
"Good pass, hot~" Nash said to Tang Qian as he walked off the court.
"No, Steve, it's mainly because you shot accurately~" Tang Qian felt a lot happier after seeing the score turned over.
"Everyone has done a good job. Now that we have regained the lead, the next thing to do is..." Mike D'Antoni also continued to explain the next tactics on the tactical board.
Tang Qian took the time to look up at his statistics. Unconsciously, the number of rebounds reached 42 again.
This means that he once again completed 40+ rebounds in a single game, and it also means...
The effect of the silver ability card has been exhausted???!!!
"Hot~ You still did a great job tonight~ Hold on for one more minute, and then we will go home with 4 consecutive victories!" Before going on the court, Mike D'Antoni patted Tang Qian on the shoulder and smiled. "Well, okay.
Sir, I will persist." Tang Qian took a breath, nodded and replied.
The Warriors were equally excited and said:
"We have reached this level, are you willing to fail like this? If you are not willing, just score a few more goals, and then drive the Los Angeles people out of the Bay Area stadium in disgrace!!!" Mark Jackson stood in front of the five preparations
The player next to the player said loudly: "Stephen, especially you, as the boss of the team, you should understand what you should do now, right?"
"I understand, coach." Golden State No. 30 nodded and replied.
"Okay, then you prove it to me! Defend your status and dignity as the King of the Bay Area with victory!!!"
"Here are some tactics for later. Come and take a look..."
PS: Please vote for the big chapter~7000+, it should be considered a big chapter~hoho~
Regarding book friends’ questions, I can only say this: I really want Yi Yi to stay in the NBA!!! Even if it’s not the Lakers!!! Oh~~~
The Warriors were hacked, which was really unexpected. Xiao Zi originally thought they would be invincible.
