Guessing the coin, this time Tang Qian guessed correctly, and the Tang Qian team gained the home field advantage.
Staples Center, the second challenge begins.
Without Hand-G, Tang Qian's double shooters from outside were obviously activated. They scored three three-pointers at the beginning, which made the Bulls slightly confused. However, the large number of fouls and violations that Tang Qian expected did not happen.
It appears that the Bulls are playing basketball without hand-g, and their defensive and offensive actions are very "harmonious".
This is probably the so-called "default adaptation to the hand-g-free competition rules".
Even so, the game is still difficult to play, no, it is too difficult to play. Needless to say, Tang Qian's interior defense is extremely strong. In the first half, he blocked 6 to 7 Bulls. But at halftime
During the break, Phil Jackson obviously made adjustments and arrangements. Except for No. 23, everyone else reduced their direct inside attacks and instead used mid-range shots or throw-ins to solve the problem.
There is a recognized problem in the 1990s, that is, everyone has a mid-range shot. No matter what position you are, if you can't open the mid-range shot, then I'm sorry, you are not worthy of becoming an NBA player. Even if it is Rodman, you give him an open shot.
He also made the same shot from the mid-range. This was also restricted by the rules of the era at that time. When illegal defense and Hand-g were "prevalent", you had no chance to shoot a three-pointer because the interference was too great. As we all know,
The further away from the basket, the more difficult the shot is and the more unstable it is. Therefore, in the 1990s, there were very few players who mainly focused on three-pointers. Most of their shots were open.
In comparison, who is more stable under fierce defensive actions? Of course it is the mid-range shot.
Why? It’s the same answer, because it’s close to the basket.
In particular, Curry's "one-step shot" is more susceptible to interference from Hand-g. A slight squeeze or a small movement will immediately destroy the body's balance and make it more difficult to score. On the other hand, Choko's "two-step shot"
"Type shooting", under the confrontation of Hand-g, the degree of stability is higher, and there is more space and time for adjustment.
One kind of rules and one kind of god are not unreasonable.
The modification of the rules is the biggest weapon for the alliance as a whole.
In the second half, the Bulls strengthened their control over Ray Allen and Stephen Curry, and the defensive skills of Jordan and Pippen were demonstrated. Even if the rules have changed, they are still the strongest offensive and defensive duo in the league.
Ray Allen and Curry worked hard with them to run, and no major problems were seen in a short period of time. As time went on and the rounds became more frequent, the efficiency immediately dropped and the sound of iron became more frequent. Taking advantage of this time, Jordan of the Bulls suddenly appeared
A wave of 12 consecutive points took away the game. However, this game only lost 5 points. It can be seen that the cancellation of the Hand-g rule and the Bulls' super outside pressure defense still have a great impact, at least weakening it.
About half of it.
The "different space" did not push people to death, but it still gave Tang Qian a way to survive.
However, if you cannot seize the opportunity, it will be "given in vain".
The day before the second game, Jerry Sloan implemented a new tactical play on the team, which was the Kummer outside pick-and-roll.
What is called Kumai's outside pick-and-roll? It means using Tracy McGrady and Curry as both sides of the pick-and-roll. In this way, Curry can be activated and McGrady can have the opportunity to attack with the ball. It can shoot and play hard, making Jordan and Pippen tight on defense.
.Based on the principle of this, the main reason is that Jordan and Pippen both had average physical fitness of 41~42+ or more in their peak period, so they had very little rest time in the whole game, and they could even play the whole game occasionally. In this way
As a result, even if McGrady is placed on the bench, his role is not obvious. He might as well be promoted to the starting position and play a high pick-and-roll with Stephen Curry.
As soon as this tactic came out, it was like the "Doku pick-and-roll" of later generations. If there was a chance, Curry would shoot, and if there was no chance, Durant would attack in isolation. McGrady may not be as efficient as Durant in scoring, but he can attack in his peak period.
His ability is absolutely super strong. If he doesn't have to restrain himself to work alone, Durant is not as good as the Magic No. 1. People say that Durant is very efficient. In fact, to put it bluntly, he has had an All-Star helper by his side since the second grade. He will still be "" in the future
Triple-double king" MVP Westbrook helps contain him. If you give him no helpers and do the whole process by yourself, the efficiency will be the same as in the first season, and the shooting percentage will be a mess.
You said that the first season as a rookie does not count? OK, then there are games going forward. Look at the playoffs. Except for the 11-12 season, in which season did he have the scoring efficiency of the regular season? To sum up,
It's almost 45%. So once he went to the "73-win team", his offensive efficiency returned to the regular season level again and became seemingly terrifying.
A very simple example. It seems that the reason why Durant's field goal percentage in the 16-17 season is off the charts is really because of his overwhelming offensive ability? NONONO ~ Of course not! The Warriors also have the "Splash Brothers" on the outside to help contain him. What he got
Open opportunities and defensive pressure are much smaller than before, so the efficiency can soar. The same is true for James. Are you really sure that James can achieve record-breaking efficiency if he plays alone without the constraints of outside stars? A weak team may
Okay, what about strong teams? The finals of the 15-16 season are an example. Who said that high shots mean high scores? Try it without the constraints of outside star players. If you average 32+ shots per game, you will also be 35
points, not to mention that the Warriors that year were not strong inside.
In the future, with Durant's "behavior of surrendering to the enemy", the myth of the peak team-building model has been broken. Durant proved that as long as he is in a team of multiple giants, not only will his efficiency not be worse than that of James, but he will even be better than James.
Strong. Look at his playoff statistics and efficiency in the 16-17 season. In the first three years, the highest shooting rate was 46% and the lowest was only 43%. The highest three-point shooting rate was 34% and the lowest was 28%. Is it the same as in the regular season?
The efficient Durant in your impression is far from the same person at all? But once he went to the Warriors, he immediately changed. His shooting percentage increased from 43% to 55%, and his three-point shooting percentage increased from 28% last year to more than 10%.
44%. Looking at this set of data, you will understand that the so-called efficiency also depends on what team you are on and what teammates you are around. Otherwise, regardless of whether it is James or Durant, if you lack a super scorer to restrain you, then
They're all the same.
It is absolutely impossible to have the so-called "high shots, high efficiency and high scores".
You can also look at Kobe's 12-13 season. When Nash was healthy, the detailed average statistics of the first ten games were 26+5.7+5.4 per game, the overall shooting percentage was 52.8%, the three-point shooting percentage was 40.5%, and the free throw rate was 89.4.
%, a proper "180 Club". You must know that Nash is still 38~39 years old. Standing next to Kobe, Kobe can have this effect. What is containment? This is called containment. If
It's peak Nash teaming up with peak Kobe. Hey, can you imagine the efficiency?
Why did Stern use basketball reasons to stop Chris Paul from joining Los Angeles? I'm afraid he had already expected that once these two people got together, the league would be "crying like ghosts and wolves howling". Because Paul is still a No. 1 offensive and defensive player.
There is no Nash defensive "loophole" problem. Therefore, when watching the game, you need to consider it comprehensively. If you only look at one data, you will only be deceived by the data.
Without any outside star helpers, McGrady's playoff data were almost the same as those in the regular season. This was a strong display of personal ability. In addition, he single-handedly won the playoffs in many seasons, averaging 30+ points per game and hitting 30 goals per game.
The rate is the same as that of the regular season. There is no obvious diving. It is better than attacking alone and breaking the defense alone. Do you think James and Durant are better than him? What if McGrady had been paired with someone of the caliber of Westbrook, Curry, and Irving?
A superstar or quasi-star player, do you think his efficiency will soar? Will singles be easier?
This tactic worked wonders in the first quarter of the second game. The Chicago Bulls were caught off guard for a while. They led 33-24 in a single quarter, leading by 9 points. This is the best example. You must know that the Bulls have always been a strong defensive team in the league.
, in the 6 championship playoffs, the lowest average score can suppress the opponent's average of only 86+ per game, and it has been done in more than one season. This is the embodiment of super defense. The Bulls' adjustment ability is extremely strong. In the second quarter, "Zen Master"
"Just let Jordan and Pippen switch defenses, no longer as obsessed with "biting the opponent" as in the first quarter. In an instant, Jerry Sloan's "Kumai high pick-and-roll tactic" was curbed. Because whether it was Jordan or
Pippen is a super perimeter defender. As long as they switch defenses every time, there will be no embarrassing situation in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Tang Qian sat off the court most of the time. Due to physical reasons,
Jerry Sloan had to arrange it this way.
The Bulls scored 26 points in a single quarter, while the Tang Qian team only scored a pitiful 16 points. After two quarters, they entered the second half 49-50, one point behind the Bulls.
It’s really not that Jerry Sloan’s change of formation and tactics were not clever, the main reason was that the opponent was too scary.
Even if you are the Durant + Curry pick-and-roll of later generations, it looks beautiful and efficient, and the league is unimpeded. In the finals, the autumn wind swept the fallen leaves all the way, and defeated the Cavaliers 4-1. But if their opponents are Jordan and LeBron James
What about Peng? No matter how you pick and roll or cooperate, these two can switch defenders at will. There is no need to worry about whether their teammates will be unable to defend.
In fact, if nothing else, the offensive ability of James + Irving was no problem that year, and it was comparable to the Kudu combination, but what about defense? They couldn't guard it. Once the pick-and-roll was replaced, Irving was destined to be attacked. What's lacking?
The ability to integrate offense and defense is Kyrie Irving's fatal injury. If Irving was replaced by peak Kobe Bryant in that round of the finals, the situation would actually be different. With the difficulty of James' shooting becoming less difficult, it is inevitable that there will be more open opportunities. The main reason is...
Defense, defense, defense! Kobe and James can switch pick-and-rolls at will, just like Jordan Pippen. I don’t say they can completely defend them, but at least they will have a containment effect.
Curry and Durant, in fact, are not as strong as the data shows when they really play one-on-one. Otherwise, the former would have achieved consecutive championships or a dynasty, and the latter would not have fallen to the Warriors. The second
The season has become "Barkley" and "join if you can't beat it." The data shows that before the merger, their key offensive position in the playoffs was not outstanding.
Especially "Reaper" Durant, his shooting percentage in the 15-16 playoffs was only 43% and his three-point shooting percentage was only 28.2%. This is ironclad evidence. What's more, there is Westbrook around him to contain him. If not, this
The data will not be better, it will only be worse.
During the halftime break, Jerry Sloan walked up to Tang Qian and said, "Fang, you have to start working next, are you ready?"
