Game 3 of the series, location, San Francisco Municipal Auditorium.
The San Francisco Warriors want to win three consecutive victories on their doorstep, then eliminate the 76ers in one fell swoop and win the championship trophy in the 1966-67 season.
"Chamberlain! Tonight is the day when you start the hanging moment! I, Rick Barry, will use all my firepower and show no mercy!" Tang Qian knew that the number 24 in front of him had always been at odds with Chamberlain, so he opened his mouth and said: "Come on.
Well, if you have the ability, come and score in front of me? Otherwise, you can fly a kite outside and don’t show off to me!"
"You..." Rick Barry really didn't dare to agree easily and score points in front of the peak Chamberlain? He asked himself how high his success rate would be. "No need to say such things! You and I are not the same
Why do players in your position want to score in front of you? All I need to do tonight is shoot you!" Rick Barry said.
"It doesn't matter." "Tang Qian" said: "Let's talk if you can win. The championship is not won by words."
After a simple exchange of words, the two sides fought for the ball, the referee blew the whistle, and the third game of the 1966-67 NBA Finals officially began.
"Sure enough, it's another pick-and-roll tactic from such a high position!" Rick Barry said: "But, do you think you can still beat us with the same trick? Jim, change people immediately, you go and defend Greer!"
Sure enough, Bill Salman is not a vegetarian, and he has developed a preliminary suppression method so quickly, but... I'm sorry, everything has just begun.
Hall Greer passed the ball to "Tang Qian". As he passed down, "Tang Qian" was strongly blocked by San Francisco Warriors No. 42. With Rick Barry approaching from behind, he loomed into a package.
Clip trend.
"Look where else you can run!" Rick Barry thought he had defended against the 76ers' offensive tactics, but unexpectedly at this moment, Philadelphia No. 13 used his height to pass the basketball to the outside. Chet.
Walker made a mid-range shot.
"Don't worry, I won't run." Tang Qian smiled and ran towards his own half.
Damn it! This guy! It’s really annoying!
Turning around, Rick Barry made a goal, which offset the score just scored by Chet Walker of the Philadelphia 76ers.
And soon, the 76ers scored again. This time it was the pick-and-roll cooperation between Chet Walker and the team's No. 1 Hall Greer.
Once again, the San Francisco Warriors failed to react immediately.
Is this... another new tactic?
Bill Salman sat in the audience, thoughtfully.
In the first half, the 76ers played smoothly and led their opponents by 11 points. However, after returning from the locker room, the San Francisco Warriors significantly strengthened their defense against pick-and-rolls. This made Tang Qian have to admire these things.
The famous marshal's insight and analytical skills were clearly that of an "ancient man" from the 1960s, but it only took him half a moment to see the problem and come up with countermeasures.
This ability alone makes him a famous commander.
The San Francisco Warriors went on a 9-0 spurt.
At this moment, Philadelphia's No. 13 stood up again, and he used a new pick-and-roll tactic: Pid.fade!
It is also commonly known as the "fake pick-and-roll" tactic. He brought out the Warriors' giant Nate Thurmond inside, and then let the ball handler Hall Greer and Jim King play one-on-one. This is
A very good outside single-kill tactic, because the 76ers have a great advantage in the No. 1 position. At least Jim King can never stop Hall, who averages close to 28+ points per game in the playoffs this season.
Greer.
Therefore, a pattern of continuous successful attacks has been formed.
Bill Sharman called a timeout, but it did not change the final game situation. With the Philadelphia 76ers' new tactics in full swing, the Golden State Warriors could only swallow the bitter pill again and lost to Philadelphia 119-104.
76ers.
The total score of the series also became 2-1.
However, Tang Qian felt a little uneasy, because the look in Bill Salman's eyes before leaving made him feel a little "thumped" in his heart.
And this is only the third game. Everything that can be "surprised" has been used. What should we do in the remaining games? Will it be as smooth as tonight? Tang Qian's worry is not unreasonable.
At the beginning of the fourth game, the opponent's firepower was fierce, directly pressing on the heads of Philadelphia players.
In particular, No. 24 Rick Barry was in an even more exciting state, taking more and more decisive shots.
Wally Jones was completely beaten! In the four games he has played so far, he has not been successful on defense in any one game! The defense is worse than every game, the defense is terrible! It’s only the second quarter tonight, Rick Barry
He made the 20th point shot, which also made the latter's condition and feel almost completely open.
When the scoring champion comes, it is difficult to stop him, let alone a scoring champion of Rick Barry's level. He alone makes Philadelphia's defense tense.
On the defensive end, the San Francisco people also made changes. They no longer followed Philadelphia players around the court like they did in the previous three games. Bill Sharman ordered that man-to-man tactics be implemented throughout the game, even if they were blocked.
Other players also try not to switch defenses to avoid being taken advantage of by their opponents. This may seem funny and stupid, but it is indeed the most effective and reliable defensive mode for San Franciscans at the moment.
Thoroughly implementing man-to-man tactics will make it less likely for loopholes and misalignments to occur. The team's overall defense will also tend to be stable and difficult to be disrupted by a large number of interspersed runs. Compared with frequent defense changes and frequent defense changes, it will be difficult to
This seemingly simple primitive defensive tactic can also improve the defender's defensive enthusiasm and eliminate dependence on his teammates.
You ask, what should I do if I take a shot if I am really going to be blocked?
Bill Sharman's plan is very clear, but if he really can't keep up, then-Gouhepick, which is also called a release shot, allows you to make unmarked shots in a short period of time. Of course, this is only limited to outside the free throw line.
If he gets in, No. 42 of the San Francisco Warriors will teach the Raiders how to behave. Bill Sharman is very confident in Nate Thurmond's interior defense.
And when it comes to "shooting", in fact it is also selective. For example, Rick Barry was easily pick-and-rolled by Philadelphia players because he was not active enough on defense. At that time, there were many of his opponents, Wally Jones.
Wally Jones has been a player without a basket in his career and has poor shooting skills. Just look at his shooting percentage. Whether it is the regular season or the playoffs, the total is about 40%.
.This is really not a good look for a main player.
Then Wally Jones especially likes to take difficult shots, and the probability of assists is not high. This also allows Bill Sharman to see "taking advantage of the opportunity." Therefore, the latter will consciously "shoot" Philadelphia No. 24, with the purpose of
Let the 76ers' shooting points always be in the hands of the worst players.
In this way, the defensive pressure on the San Francisco Warriors will be reduced, and the defensive success rate will be greatly improved.
Of course, this is because the Philadelphia 76ers have not practiced their own "pick-and-roll system" well, otherwise it would not take much effort to beat the opponent. Obviously, the "different space" will not give Tang Qian such an opportunity.
Problems with the new tactics and new system were also quickly exposed, that is, they were too mechanical and too unfamiliar to use. The downwind ball was okay, but once the situation turned into a reverse, problems immediately emerged. As Wally Jones repeatedly failed to shoot,
In the middle, Rick Barry on the opposite side seized the opportunity and scored consecutively. He hit three goals and actually turned the score over!
The San Francisco City Auditorium suddenly erupted!
"Did you see it? Philly guys! The championship belongs to us! You are destined to fail!" Rick Barry was also infected by the atmosphere at home, so he shouted to the opposite side with a high-spirited expression, as if the situation was under control. This made the 76ers
The morale of the team suddenly dropped a lot.
Another missed shot. The San Francisco people seemed to have tasted the sweetness of guarding Wally Jones, so they intensified their efforts. Unfortunately, our Wally Jones just failed to live up to his expectations and couldn't score. His offensive shooting percentage was low.
The problem of inaccurate shooting is getting bigger and bigger.
Brush~ Warriors Rick Barry passed the ball to Jeff Mullins, who succeeded in the mid-range shot.
The score difference began to gradually widen.
"Admit defeat! Philadelphia guys! You're going to lose!!!" After saying that, Warriors No. 24 shook his head again, looking arrogant. This is also the way Rick Barry plays. If you have a little advantage, you will be poor.
Chase and fight fiercely, destroying the opponent's dignity.
Alex Hannum called a timeout, but this era is an era of crazy main players, especially in the playoffs and especially the finals. Head coaches always want to put the best players on the court, not
Substitute player. Besides, replacing Matt Guokas will solve the problem? His shooting percentage in the playoffs is about the same as that of Wally Jones, or even worse than the latter. It really blinded him.
That's 8cm taller.
"Wilt, why don't you attack? Even if you have to suppress the offense this season and allocate more shooting opportunities to us, there is no need to not take any shots at all. If you take action, it will be much easier for us." Someone finally couldn't help it.
He asked the question, but "Tang Qian" could only smile bitterly, because facing the strongest low-post defender in history, Nate Thurmond, "Sky Hook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was beaten to a pulp, not to mention that he was not "Wilt."
Chamberlain”?
In the matchups in these games, it was okay to follow up from down the line. In singles with the ball in the low post, Tang Qian never scored once.
Although he didn't have a few low-post singles shots, he was enough to understand the terror of Nate Thurmond.
Either blocking shots, or defensive interference and pressure, bringing the attacker to the verge of collapse.
Tang Qian has never seen such an excellent defensive inside player. Even if his rim protection is not as good as his own, his single defense ability... is far from his own... or even far from what Wilt Chamberlain can match. As for Bill
Russell, he has not played against Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, so it is still unclear about the former's specific defensive ability. However, from the perspective of limiting Chamberlain, his single defense should be inferior to Nate Thurmond. But assist defense
Nate Thurmond can't even catch up with the former in terms of complementary defense and defensive core role.
But when it comes to inside and defense alone, Nate Thurmond is really a "terrible" existence.
The overall momentum was obviously in favor of the San Franciscans. Bill Sharman ordered to play as fast as possible, increase offensive and defensive rounds as much as possible, and use defensive counterattacks to defeat the Phillies in one breath. This scene looked very similar to Tang Qian, because in the 1970s
Among the championship Lakers, Bill Sharman did the same thing. It's just that the San Francisco Warriors were replaced by the Los Angeles Lakers with a more upgraded lineup.
Nate Thurmond was also replaced by Wilt Chamberlain, whose defense was comprehensively strengthened.
Again, the one-on-one defense against Nate Thurmond may be the most invincible inside presence in the league, but the entire defensive core ability and defensive core deterrence are still the strongest with Chamberlain and Bill Russell. One-on-one defense is only defensive.
Part of it is not directly equivalent to the word defense.
Seeing the situation becoming more and more "smooth", Rick Barry's arrogance factor finally exploded. He was only a second-year student and thought that he was pretentious and the future leader of the alliance, so he laughed and said: "Wilt,
Thank you for your best record in the regular season. With your record as a stepping stone, the value of my championship will skyrocket! SO, thank you so much, hahaha!"
Another missed shot, and the San Francisco team went on a fast break. Rick Barry broke through, hit Philadelphia No. 13 hard, and then shot. Beep~beep~swipe~. Unexpectedly, the ball hit the net before it hit the ground.
, this made him very excited, and he waved to the audience, indicating that it was time to cheer.
Originally, Kerry Barry was a 35+ scoring champion this season. Even if there is a serious decline in the playoffs, the lower limit is still there. The touch is coming, the state is coming, and it is enough to penetrate the inside of the penalty area of the Philadelphia 76ers.
There was no way, Tang Qian's competitive state was weakened by 29% due to "Inner Demon" in this game. As he was weakened and strengthened, he was completely unable to defend his opponent.
This is a really fucked up moment!
Obviously his strength is more than that, but it is limited by the "inner demon" and cannot be used at all.
After getting to the free throw line, Rick Barry made an action that made Tang Qian instantly angry. In addition to the thumb, four fingers of his right hand gently popped out from his chin. What did this mean? It was "get out" and "get out"
"Open", "Go home" and "Don't block the road" with sign language, doing this outside the court, stirring up trouble every minute and making the situation chaotic every minute.
Brush~ Rick Barry used his "classic urine pot" to score this extra free throw. When he turned around, he didn't forget to say: "Do you understand? Wilt? This is the most popular sign language among white people recently.
, Hahaha!" In that era, there were no radio equipment or high-definition cameras on the court, so the seriousness of trash talk and even insults was far beyond imagination. Otherwise, do you think why players in the 60s and 70s always had conflicts?
Is it a fight? Who would do such a thing normally?
This will only happen if you are overly provoked and overly irritated.
Well, even in later generations, where high-tech equipment is readily available, don’t you still have to scold? Westbrook and Durant later had a 10-second fight on the court, which is an example. If a person is really angry, how can he care?
So many? It’s a subconscious reaction, regardless of the three thousand and twenty-one!
"This guy... is so arrogant!" Hall Greer said angrily. However, Rick Barry is indeed very powerful and has super scoring ability. There is no argument for this. Although Hall Greer is also a perfect
A star player, but compared to his opponent, he is actually several levels behind him. All-Star starter + scoring champion + 1st team + Western Conference champion, this is the power of second-year Rick Barry.
"Really..." "Tang Qian" suddenly raised his head, then his whole face became cold, and said with a strange smile: "Congratulations to him, he succeeded in irritating me." Howl Greer was stunned, and then seemed to see something
What? Suddenly he said in shock: "Wilt, what's wrong with your eyes? Why do they seem to be red?"
"Oh, it's okay, I guess I just got hit." "Tang Qian" explained: "Don't worry about this, we have to win the next game."
The Philadelphia 76ers attacked, and after a high pick-and-roll, Hall Greer broke through. The San Francisco team did not choose to change defense, but instead let the opponent enter the inside. Why? Because they believe in Nate Ser, the inside gate.
Mond's defensive power. Nate Thurmond's performance is crucial to their ability to enter the NBA Finals this season. It can even be said that without him, the Warriors would not be able to reach the finals. Bill Sharman's tactics
The system could not be fully utilized. Thurmond lived up to expectations and prevented Hall Greer's inside layup.
The San Francisco Warriors attack again.
Jeff Mullins took a shot in the penalty area...pop~ and was mercilessly blocked by a big hand.
The basketball was severely slapped down, Nate Thurmond picked up the rebound and made a second attack.
Philadelphia No. 13 took off again, stretched out his arms, and shot in the direction of the former.
It is actually a bit exaggerated to say that Nate Thurmond is a blue-collar man through and through. It is just that before the 21st century, there were too many great inside players, especially in the 1960s and 1970s, when ancient Warcraft emerged in endlessly, so he is relatively
He can only be regarded as a "blue-collar" player. But if in later generations, the peak data is close to 20+20, coupled with super flexibility and single defense energy, then I am afraid that Howard will have nothing to do. Don't believe it? Howard's
The highest scoring average in a single season in his career is not much higher than Thurmond. To be serious, Howard only scored 20+ points 4 times in his career, and Thurmond had 5 20+ seasons, let alone rebounds.
With the ball and endurance, do you think Howard can defend "Sky Hook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, causing the latter's matchup shooting percentage to plummet by 17%?
This season, Nate Thurmond's scoring ability has not yet reached its peak, only 18+, so Tang Qian was given the opportunity to kill him. If a super scorer explodes with explosive power and a low-level rage increase, it is really not possible.
It can definitely be controlled. After all, the influence of the "inner demon" is not fake.
2 blocks in a row! This gave the 76ers a chance to counterattack! The 76ers succeeded in a fast break!
The Warriors attacked again and Tom Mecheri was also blocked. Hall Greer took the ball and ran towards the opponent's half.
However, the ball was interfered by Jeff Muslin of the Warriors. Hall Greer did not score the goal. When the latter was annoyed and was about to blurt out a curse word subconsciously, a "bang" resounded throughout the Warriors.
on the team's basket.
Greer looked back and said with surprise: "Wilt! You..."
"Don't worry, I will help you handle the rest." Tang Qian faintly exuded a champion temperament. This made Howl Greer nodded hard, and the depression just now was gone.
And Kong. At this time, the influence of champion temperament comes out. He can bring mental relief and calmness to players who have never won a championship.
Then both sides stepped up their attacks, which became a "big test" for the interior defenders.
Wilt Chamberlain or Nate Thurmond, who is the better team defender?
The shooting percentages of both sides dropped sharply, but in the end the Philadelphia 76ers had the upper hand. "Tang Qian" made Rick Barry miss five consecutive inside attacks. In the end, the balance of victory finally favored the Philadelphia 76ers. 101-99
, the Philadelphia 76ers took the lead with 2 points and won the game.
In an era without the three-point line, shots near the basket and paint area accounted for the vast majority of shots, so having a strong inside defender was crucial.
Nate Thurmond also made Philadelphia's overall shooting rate poor, just over 40%. Especially Hall Greer, who hit the inside the most, made 11 of 29 shots, and only scored 29 points including free throws. 37.9
% shooting rate, the offensive efficiency is definitely not high. But Rick Barry, who can't stand the shooting maniac, took 40 shots, but in the end he only scored 39 points!
A closer look shows that the scoring efficiency in the second half of the second half, with a shooting percentage of 2, is unmatched by Chengdu.
"Tang Qian" won the best of the game in the fourth game with 16 points, 16 rebounds, 8 blocks, 4 steals and 3 assists.
This also reduced his gold ability card fragments to two.
Rick Barry almost broke Philadelphia No. 13's neck when he shook hands, of course, if possible.
The series score is 3-1. The Philadelphia 76ers are in the lead and have the match point. They are only one step away from the championship trophy.
But what really concerned Tang Qian the most was that through this game, he seemed to have grasped something vaguely.
It seems to be the secret of "Rage".
