Tang Qian was slightly shocked when he saw the various words appearing on the "calendar board", but he soon understood.
This is when "different space" starts giving out benefits.
As for the reason, there may or may not be one. Sometimes "different spaces" do not play their cards according to common sense.
Tang Qian decisively stopped, and then saw only one line of text left on the "calendar board":
In the remaining two challenge opportunities, the Phoenix Suns' three-point shooting percentage dropped by 10% in the 2004-05 season.
Me, let me go!!! This "warmth" is so warm!!! It is simply what Tang Qian wants most right now!!!
If you can press the Suns' three-point shot, your team's chance of winning will be greatly increased!
That year, the Suns' three-point shooting rate in the playoffs was close to 44%. What kind of concept is this? It was like piercing the sky! You must know that among the "Super Warriors" in later generations, there was no playoffs.
To this extent! In fact, they have never even shot more than 40% of their three-pointers in the playoffs, let alone 44%! Only through this comparison can you better understand the powerful firepower of the Phoenix Suns.
!
The three-point shooting percentage reaches 40%. In the NBA, he is considered a "sharp shooter", and this year's Suns... It seems that anyone with the ability to shoot from a distance is considered a "sharp shooter"! Can you believe it?
Is it? Steve Nash, who has always been known for his accurate shooting, his 3-point shooting percentage in this year's playoffs can only be ranked second to last on the team in the playoffs! Yes, yes, you read that right,
You are not dazzled, you are the second to last on the team! "Only" better than Walter McCarty who averaged 6.9 minutes of playing time per game!
In other words, Nash's three-point shooting percentage in this year's playoffs was "holding back the entire team."
Of course, Nash's intensity of being marked and his shooting opportunities are definitely not as loose as others, but if we only discuss shooting percentage, it is such a "cruel" fact. Nash averaged 38.9% of three-pointers per game in the playoffs that year, which was higher than the entire Suns team.
The average hit rate was nearly 5 percentage points lower! This also illustrates the power of the peak Suns!
It's not surprising that Tang Qian's improvised team was blown up.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the playoffs, or the fiercely competitive Western Conference playoffs, the 44% three-point shooting rate is simply a "super phenomenon". Three-pointers are shot with almost a certain rhythm. For this
With this kind of "abnormal level" three-point shooting percentage, Tang Qian almost wanted to die when he faced him.
It’s so difficult! This is not something that one person can eat!
Now the Suns' 10% three-point shooting percentage has been "cut off" at once. Although it is still close to 34%, it has reached the normal range. The Tang Qian team will not be so difficult to defend and will not be so easily defeated.
take away.
Well, 3-pointers are really easy to play in a "one-stop" game. Sometimes you are leading by 1 to 2 points one minute, then 3 to 4 points behind the next minute, and then the next minute.
It became 7~8 points. This kind of blow is absolutely significant to the team's morale.
Okay, since the hit rate has been weakened... Tang Qian came to the selection page again. Compared with the "random teammates" who cannot be selected, these "teammates" who can be "self-selected" seem to be re-allocated before the start of each challenge.
Tang Qian did not hesitate much. Kidd and Ray Allen remained unchanged. He just took Paul George, and then went to the Pistons in the 2003-04 season to replace "Big Ben" Ben Wallace.
.
During this period, Ben Wallace was at his peak. Not to mention winning his first championship, he won all the All-Stars, first defense, and second team, and he will win 2 more DPOYs in the next 2 years, that is,
The best defensive player. In addition to the rebounding and shot blocking leaders in the previous two seasons, Ben Wallace is already at his strongest. He also has good statistics in the playoffs, close to 10+14+2+2 games.
As a blue-collar player, he has reached a peak.
With him helping him on the inside, Tang Qian's team's inside line is absolutely impregnable.
If this is against the Suns, who are still shooting about 44% of their three-pointers at their peak, it is certainly not good enough and they will probably be shot again, but now... it becomes very promising. Even without Paul George's score
Yes, that doesn't hurt.
Because Tang Qian's goal in this challenge is to use an absolutely low score to "wear out" the Suns' small-ball style.
Of course, because of the lack of Paul George's firepower contribution, Tang Qian must shoulder more of the scoring responsibility in this challenge.
This is a test and a gamble.
Tang Qian only averaged 18.5 points per game in the last four games he challenged. In fact, this was due to a lot of data in the last game. If the last game is deducted, Tang Qian only averaged 15+ points in the first three games. This game
Forget about other teams, there are really too few games against the Suns. Because everyone knows that the Suns this season are a "defensive colander". They mainly rely on offense to win. While they averaged 112 points per game in the playoffs, they
You have to give up nearly 108 points, so if you can't score against this Suns, then your scoring ability must be terrible.
What changes will happen if your scoring ability is raised to "qualified"?
Tang Qian is also waiting to see what happens to him.
This time, Tang Qian guessed the coin correctly, and Tang Qian’s team gained home field advantage in this series. The first game will be played at the Staples Center.
Because Paul George was removed, Tang Qian's lineup was reorganized and became PG Jason Kidd, SG Ray, Allen, SF Jordan Hill, PF Ben Wallace, C Tang Qian. As for why SF's
Jordan Hill has to be replaced at the position, mainly because there is really no one in the team's bench. Either he is too short, or he is just a "water cooler", or he is not suitable to play in the NBA at all, half
He was "layed off" and sent home without even playing a season. Originally, Tang Qian wanted to consider Connor Henry. Although this guy was a fourth-round pick, he had good mid-to-long-range shooting. In the mid-1980s,
In the later period, he achieved a three-point shooting rate of more than 48%. Of course, the sample was very small, only 15 games, but a 44.4% three-point shooting rate in 39 games was already considered very strong. In that era, Bird
That’s just 2 to 3 3-pointers per game.
It's a pity that after being a teammate for a while, Tang Qian discovered that this person had no defensive awareness at all and didn't have much of a defensive attitude, so he couldn't play in the NBA and was waived after 2 seasons. It's not unreasonable to use this kind of person.
As a starter, he will definitely be targeted by the Suns, and Joe Johnson will definitely defeat him.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Tang Qian could only replace Jordan Hill at the No. 3 position. He was not required to have merit, but he was asked not to make too many mistakes. However, the specifics still depend on actual combat.
situation.
There are no changes in the Suns. They are still PG Steve Nash, SG Quentin Richardson, SF Joe Johnson, PF Shawn Marion, C Amar'e Stoudemire. As soon as the game started, Tang Qian
Entering the offensive state, Kidd's point guard instinct was to pass the basketball in his hand immediately. Then... with a "bang," Tang Qian dunked the Phoenix basket.
The Suns were still similar to the last challenge. Nash, as the backcourt engine, pushed the frontcourt wildly, and then looked for the open space. The basketball quickly slipped into the hands of Quentin Richardson. Quentin Richardson's bottom corner
The three-point shot was originally a good opportunity. Richardson's three-point shooting rate in the playoffs this season was over 39%, so he should rarely miss it, but...he just didn't make this three-pointer.
Basketball strikes, Tang Qian leaps high and collects the defensive rebound.
Kidd has no intention of playing fast break at all. This was discussed before the game, which is to grind out the position with every ball, compete with the Suns, and fight for slow-paced offense and defense. Otherwise, it will be a run-and-gun game against the Suns.
There is only a dead end.
There are many types of off-ball ability, and inside and outside are not exactly the same. Generally speaking, off-ball ability in positional sports warfare and off-ball ability in positional warfare. For the former, Tang Qian has almost mastered it, but it is impossible in one game.
They are all defensive counterattacks, not all sports shots, so even if there is a point guard master feeding the ball by the side, on average, the most is ten points per game. If you want to reach Marion and Stoudemire
That kind of peak scoring ability without the ball is simply impossible.
Tang Qian's ability to play without the ball in positional combat has always been an unresolved aspect of Tang Qian's ability to play without the ball. Compared with his ability to play without the ball in sports, his threat in the position is almost zero. Even if there is a master point guard feeding the ball, he will not
It may become a threat. Like Jordan, he mainly "picks up missed balls" and "does not take shots unless there are opportunities", so it is difficult to break through the 10+ limit in terms of points per game.
Don’t underestimate averaging 10 points per game. If you can maintain a high shooting percentage, you will almost reach the offensive level of a top blue-collar player. If you only score 4 to 5 points in this game, you will need 15 points or even more in the next game.
To make up for it. So once it comes to the scoring ability per game, those who can reach 15+ stably can become a certain threat.
Before Tang's potential score crystal brick breakthrough, let alone a stable score of 15+, even a stable score of 10+ seemed very difficult.
But tonight...
Tang Qian scored 17 points in the first half alone, shooting over 65% from the field. Even if he was still a thorn in free throws, his firepower contribution in the paint cannot be denied. In this way, the Suns' defense
It must shrink, and it is impossible to expand unscrupulously like in the last series. In this way, it also gives the opportunity to activate outsiders Ray Allen and Kidd.
You don’t have to count on Kidd’s three-pointers this season, but his two-pointers are still passable. After all, he averaged close to 20 points per game in the 2001-02 playoffs. You can say that his offensive ability is average, but you have to
To say that he has no scoring ability at all is definitely a lie. A person with no offensive ability can average close to 20 points per game in the playoffs? Do you think the NBA players are stupid, or do you think the fans watching the game are stupid? "Basically not offensive" just means that
It's just that he doesn't waste shots, it doesn't mean he can't score.
In the first half, the Suns only shot 37% from the field, including less than 30% from three-point range, only 29.7%. This caused the Phoenix Suns to suddenly lose the magic they had in the previous series.
.The Tang Qian team entered the locker room with a 5-point lead of 49-44.
This was also the reason why their substitutes had a 10-1 spurt, which shows the difference in long-range shooting percentage between the main starters.
In the second half, it was still this low-tempo style of play. No matter how much Nash increased the speed, Kidd remained unmoved. This is the hidden ability of a true point guard master. But obviously, Nash was not affected by Kidd. Both sides played "differently"
"Everyone", as if to see who can't hold on first.
For point guards, the matchup at the No. 1 position is not necessarily about statistics, but also about style and game rhythm. If you just have good statistics but are completely caught up in the opponent's rhythm, you will still lose. At present,
From the looks of it, both parties are on par, and neither is affected by the other.
Why do you say that? Because the Suns seemed to score low in the first half, it was purely because they had a "poor" three-pointer today. There was no obvious change in the number of shots and the rhythm of the game. But Kidd also stabilized.
The rhythm of the Tang Qian team will not be easily taken away by Steve Nash.
The Suns seem to be a little too excited. Not only did they not weaken their 3-point shooting in the second half, but they actually increased it. Nash also passed a lot of good shots, but... the shooting rate is not high. Although it is better than the first half, but
That is, just over 30%. This shooting rate obviously cannot meet the requirements of the Suns.
In the end, the Tang Qian team unexpectedly won the first game 97-94 with a three-point advantage.
Tang Qian scored 25 points, 15 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 assists in the game, but the best of the game still belonged to Kidd, because he contributed 11 assists, 8 rebounds, 15 points and 4 steals, a near-triple-double.
Moreover, his ability to control the entire field is excellent, and many indirect assists are his masterpieces.
The second game was a replica of the first game. In this game, the Suns got a lot of open opportunities, but their 3-point shooting percentage just couldn't go up! They took 32 shots and only hit 10 times! The shooting rate was only 31%.
!It seems that the weakening of "different space" is severe enough, without any compromise!
Tang Qian scored 27 points, 16 rebounds, 1 block and 3 assists, and was elected as the best player tonight.
The series score is 2-0, and it seems that the general trend has tilted towards Tang Qian.
On the second day of training, the atmosphere of the Tang Qian team became much more relaxed.
But were the Suns defeated so easily? Thinking too much! They just weren't accurate enough in their 3-point shots in the first two games, and they were a little obsessed with outside shooting. Once they adjust...
At the beginning of the third game, Nash saw Tang Qian and said: "It won't end so easily tonight. We will win."
Tang Qian was stunned for a moment, but quickly countered: "No way, Steve, if your three-pointers are not accurate enough, you can't beat us." "Really?" Nash looked up at Tang Qian and turned around.
In an instant, some sharp waves flowed in his eyes: "Then just watch."
"I'll let you know why we finished first in the league during the regular season."
At the beginning of the third game, in the first quarter, Tang Qian felt something was wrong. Because the Suns actually...actually made a comprehensive adjustment to their style of play. They no longer focused on 3-point shooting, but instead increased air cuts and screen attacks.
Stop shooting three-pointers? Then you are doomed! The inside is my territory! Ben Wallace and I are not vegetarians!
Ben Wallace and Tang Qian are both extremely mobile inside players. They can switch defenses or extend each other's defenses. This creates a strong defensive pressure for the Suns who are "inaccurate" in three-pointers.
In the first quarter, Nash passed several balls, but they were all suppressed by the Tang Qian team's inside line and did not score.
At the end of the first quarter, the Tang Qian team led 24-20 by 4 points and entered the second quarter.
I originally thought that things would develop according to my own ideas, but starting from the second quarter, the Suns No. 13, the man known as the "Son of the Wind", fully woke up. What happened? He suddenly stepped into
in "The.Zone Status".
This is no joke. The current Nash, but the peak Nash, you can't even let him explode, let alone "The.Zone"? In an instant, the entire stadium seemed to be understood by Nash, and every move was clearly understood.
the end.
The quality of Nash's passing has improved several times compared to the first quarter. The speed, suddenness, and trickiness have all become unpredictable. It felt like in an instant, everyone on the Suns team was connected to No. 13.
Like the "puppet string", it started to become... everyone's abilities improved.
This is the power of a super point guard master. Unless you conflict with his style of play, once his condition improves, you will directly benefit. During this period, the statistics of the Suns players are inflated. There is no doubt that, thanks to
Fortunately for Steve Nash. Because on their own, they would never be able to average this kind of season average.
Empty cut.
Slide to the bottom.
Open mid-range shot.
Open layup.
A series of scoring methods began to produce results. The Suns scored a 15-1 spurt in the second quarter during the substitute time. This forced Tang Qian to play again because Ben Wallace
It's a bit overwhelming for a person.
Why can’t Ben Wallace even hold his own when he’s at his peak? Is it because Ben Wallace has wasted his fame? No, of course not, it’s just...
Tang Qian quickly understood Ben Wallace's difficulty. These Suns players were obviously substitutes, but they still performed well beyond their own level. The reason... there was only one reason. The Suns' No. 13 was behind him, like a
Like a magician, he controls them invisibly.
This is a state of a top point guard. Ordinary point guards cannot touch this state at all. In fact, even Steve Nash has to enter "The.Zone state" before he can enter it. Ordinary times can also
cannot reach this level.
It's like all the Suns players on the court have become his limbs, giving the illusion of being commanded by his arms.
In the second quarter, the Tang Qian team was fooled by Nash's tactics. Not only did they lose all their lead in the first quarter, but they also trailed the Suns by 7 points after halftime.
51-44, both sides entered the locker room to rest.
"What the hell! Why did the Suns become like this all of a sudden? It's as if everything has been sublimated! I even let my opponent score several goals!" Jordan Hill complained loudly when he entered the locker room.
, it seems that his complaint attribute is higher than Tang Qian imagined. "This is Nash entering The Zone state." Kidd intervened and said: "Now other Suns players have become his hands and feet, he can
Take control at will." Kidd made a gesture of making fists with both hands and said: "Combining five into one, this is the state we pursue at position 1, and the sense of control can be significantly enhanced."
"Jason, why aren't you like this? Aren't you good at it?" Jordan Hill asked confusedly. Kidd raised his head, his eyes fell on Jordan Hill, and said slowly: "First
, even I have to enter The Zone state, the same goes for Steve Nash. Second."
Kidd said this to all the Tang Qian team members.
"Our team was formed in such a short time that I cannot control it as freely as Nash, so it is difficult to enter."
"The team's tacit understanding and chemical reaction are far more important to our No. 1 position than you think."
