Tang Qian passed the ball to McGrady, and McGrady quickly passed it to Ray Allen, who was open in the corner, and hit a three-pointer!
41-54, Tang Qian team is still 13 points behind its opponent.
The Bulls attacked, and Pippen hit a single against Tracy McGrady. Don't underestimate Pippen at the peak of the Bulls dynasty. He was also a player who averaged 21 to 22 points per game. At the peak of his career, he even played a super comprehensive game close to 22+9+5+3+1.
Data. This year was the last year of the Bulls' first three consecutive championships. And the year after Qiao Shen retired, he achieved this data again, so it was definitely not a fluke.
No joke, Pippen is the one who won the steal title. It is very difficult for a small forward to win this honor and should not be underestimated.
And the gold content of a steal leader with close to 3+ times is not comparable to that of a 2+ steal leader in later generations.
If you can get more steals per game in fewer rounds, do you still need to ask about the gold content?
This is one of the biggest criticisms of McGrady. Once he invests the energy of a super scorer on the offensive end, the defensive end will inevitably be weakened, much lower than his own level. Frankly speaking, McGrady's personal defense should still be
It's passable. I have created close to 2+ blocks in my career. You must know that among outside players, this is already a "god-level statistic". He averages 2+ blocks per game, which is the domain of inside players. Even if he is as strong as James,
The highest in a single season is just over 1+, 1.1 times. This shows that McGrady’s defensive ability, at least his blocking ability is still good, because in his position, blocking shots cannot be obtained by protecting the basket. But with the improvement of scoring ability
With continuous breakthroughs, McGrady's defensive ability is also constantly declining. If a player's strongest defensive career appears in his rookie years, it can only be said that he originally had certain abilities, but he failed to realize them.
Of course, there are problems with injuries, spine, and other factors, but if it is not fulfilled, it is not fulfilled. The basketball court is a realistic place, and there are not so many ifs. There was even a famous saying back then, "Let the defensive end
"Save physical strength for the offensive end" is McGrady's masterpiece. Rockets fans beat their chests a lot for this.
It can only be said that Tracy McGrady's physical ability is far from as good as Kobe Iverson's.
Tracy McGrady certainly unleashed his energy as a super scorer in this game. Otherwise, he would not have been able to easily break through Puffy's super-locked defense several times. And now that he has released his energy as a super scorer...then his defensive end is bound to decline.
It's lower than what he should be. At the peak of his career, Pippen scored 22 points, and his shooting rate exceeded 50%. It was enough to deal with McGrady's average defense.
This brings us back to the previous topic of offense and defense. McGrady's super scoring ability is limited by Pippen, and he can't limit Pippen on the defensive end. This is tantamount to two people cheating, and Tang Qian's team suffers a big loss.
If McGrady's defense was slightly better, this should have been a must-win matchup. Therefore, the ability to integrate offense and defense can improve a player's immediate combat effectiveness. The so-called defense can make up for insufficient points. This is the truth. Pippen
His scoring ability is far inferior to that of Peak Mai, but through his integrated offense and defense, he is actually suppressing his opponents. This situation is terrifying.
41-56, the Bulls expanded the score again.
Seeing that McGrady was a little depressed, Tang Qian ran past him and said, "It doesn't matter, Tracy. On the offensive end, you can just score a three-pointer. A three-pointer is one more than a two-pointer, right?" McGrady was greeted by the Lakers.
The team's No. 29 "encouraged" him to force a three-point pull-up after getting the ball on the offensive end. However, Pippen successfully defended and used his superhuman wingspan to interfere with Magic No. 1.
Damn! Why are this guy’s arms so long??? Is he an ape???
McGrady himself is a "long-handed monster", but in this series, he didn't feel that his wingspan was "qualified" at all.
The basketball hits the iron and flies high.
Jordan and Pippen were about to run forward and beat their opponents, but...the basketball was once again captured by Lakers No. 29. Then they heard Tang Qian say: "Keep shooting, T-M!" McGrady took action again.
, still missed! It can be seen that Pippen put great defensive pressure on him throughout the series.
"It doesn't matter! Shoot again!" The rebound was grabbed by Lakers No. 29 again. He grabbed 2 offensive rebounds in a row!
McGrady made his third outside shot and finally shot through the long-arm defense of No. 33 of the Bulls!
"Good job! T-M! Just keep going!"
Tang Qian didn't mention the fact that McGrady made one of three shots in this round, which made McGrady feel a lot more comfortable. Of course, the most important thing is that he beat his opponent into the net! This is a psychological recovery for the opposing players.
Very important! Otherwise, McGrady will be constantly suppressed by Scottie Pippen's defense. The more he plays, the more impatient he will be, and the more he plays, the less confident and organized he will be.
How to restore the self-confidence and confidence of a super scorer? How to activate the state and feel of a super scorer?
Tang Qian gave the most perfect answer in the second half tonight.
Feed the ball, keep feeding the ball until it comes out.
This is the way to feed a sharpshooter. It doesn't matter if you don't feel good, in bad shape, or not talented enough. As long as you are willing to feed bullets, you will always reach an average level. What's more, McGrady is originally a super talented type, but Tang Qian fed him the ball like this
, the more he shot, the more confident he became, and the more he shot, the hotter he became. On the offensive end, McGrady made another three-pointer, but this time he only took 2 shots.
47-60, because Jordan and Pippen also scored a goal each.
As Tang Qian said before, under the "Zen Master" triangle offensive system, Jordan and Pippen will get the most comfortable and sufficient singles opportunities. In this way, it will be difficult to contain the Lakers' perimeter players alone. Think about it.
The only way to make a comeback is to bet on a 3-pointer.
Because, three-pointers are worth one point more than two-pointers, right?
By the end of the third quarter, the two sides were only 4 points apart, because the Tang Qian team scored three-pointers in almost every round, and no matter what the shooting rate was, the offensive round had to end with a goal. The Bulls
The team's shooting percentage is also good, but compared with this situation on the opposite side, they lose a lot.
66-69, during the break, Pippen was scolded by "Zen Master" because he allowed his opponent Tracy McGrady to score almost 20 points in a single quarter in the third quarter. This is because he advocates high-intensity perimeter defense.
What Jackson can't tolerate. As I said, when Jackson was with the Bulls, he was a head coach who combined the Western coaching style and the Eastern coaching style. And the Eastern coaching style, he basically used it on the defensive end of the Bulls. On the offensive end, you stars
It can be fully one-on-one, and even being a little willful is not harmful, but if anyone dares to be "lazy" on the defensive end, he will definitely be scolded by Jackson.
It doesn't matter if you are Jordan or Pippen, it's the same.
In fact, Jackson used the "provoking method" against Jordan definitely a lot of times.
"Scotty, if you are beaten by that Magic No. 1 again in the fourth quarter, just wait to stay and participate in my post-game training camp. You know I never tell lies." Pippen faced
"Zen Master" could only bow his head and said that he would work harder in the future to try to block Tracy McGrady. In fact, the defense of No. 33 of the Bulls is already very strong, and McGrady's offensive end has entered "The.Zone".
Fake, as for Pippen, he is even better than McGrady. He has already become a "super god" on the defensive end. This is also the reason why McGrady couldn't open up and play smoothly at the beginning.
Without Tang Qian's strong intervention, it is estimated that McGrady will be prevented from falling out of "The.Zone" by Pippen in this game, and then completely suppressed. Whether it is an explosion or a seed, or "The.Zone"
" and "Super God", they are not a stable and solidified state. If the opponent continues to "explode" you, you will soon fall out and be unable to recover.
It's just a pity that no matter how good Pippen is, he is not as good as Tang Qian. If an inside man "covers the board", then for outside players, it is like a voice from heaven! This is not an exaggeration, because outside shooting requires a lot of conditioning and touch.
If the rebounding is not strong, the shooting will only get worse, and it will never get better. Under Tang Qian's almost abnormal rebounding competition, not to mention McGrady, who did not benefit from Ray Allen or Curry?
Who has not experienced psychological changes?
The feeling of shooting has skyrocketed! The accuracy of shooting has skyrocketed!
After training Pippen, Jackson turned around and said with a more serious expression: "And you, Dennis, you are the rebounding champion for 7 consecutive years. Could it be that you can't even beat an Eastern center? Even if you can't, then it's okay.
Could you please protect a few defensive rebounds, okay? Isn't this too much to ask?" Rodman rarely said anything because he knew in his heart that it was not Jackson's fault, but his own problem. He underestimated that.
Dongfang center, that Dongfang center's rebounding ability is much better than the four major centers in the 1990s! If I continue to be like this, I will probably be miserable!
"I understand, coach, it's my responsibility. I will do my best later." Rodman rarely calls the team's head coach this formally. Except for Chuck Daly, he has no regard for any head coach.
The coach always has a cynical attitude. But once he changes like this, it means that "Hua Da Chong" has to be completely serious. And the kind of seriousness that is absolutely without water. Phil Jackson was stunned for a moment.
, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again: "This is right, you are Dennis Rodman, the rebounding monster that the four major centers in the 1990s were afraid of! How could you lose to a young boy?"
"As long as you protect the rebounds and continue to implement the triangle offense on the offensive end, your opponent's gambling style of throwing three-pointers will definitely die!" There is no problem with what Jackson said. Unless you are that super warrior, otherwise, with three-pointers, you will definitely die!
A style of play that focuses on dividing the ball is self-destruction. Well, even if it is the super Warriors of later generations, it depends on who the opponent is. If it is Chicago, the peak dynasty, then it will not be able to please them.
"Zen Master" Phil Jackson has full confidence in his team and players.
Will the Tang Qian team change their style of play just because they are catching up? McCurry had this plan to give it up as soon as it was good, but he encountered strong opposition from Lakers No. 29. The latter directly said that scoring 2 points is not safe.
A 3-pointer is safe.
This kind of words sounds strange no matter how strange it sounds.
I’ve only heard of the saying that 2-pointers are insurance. When did 3-pointers become “insurance”? But if it weren’t for the crazy rebounding by No. 29 of the Lakers in the third quarter, it would have been impossible for them to catch up. Look.
Looking at the statistics, in the third quarter, the Tang Qian team took almost half as many shots as the Bulls! This is the guaranteed power of rebounds!
So it's hard for them to refute.
When McGrady came up, he hesitated and chose to break through with 2 points, but the ball was intercepted by Pippen. Pippen seemed to have lost his energy after being scolded by Jackson. His overall momentum seemed to be much higher than in the first three quarters.
.Besides, Pippen is the top wing defensive player in the NBA, and now he has become a "super god" on the defensive end. Do you think McGrady can be so easy to defeat alone?
"Protect the rebound! Dennis!"
When Tang Qian was about to move, a person had already jumped in front of him. His movements and speed were much stronger than before.
This feeling...Rodman's rebounding is "super"??? Let me go, how did "Zen Master" Jackson do it??? How did he improve the condition of two Bulls players in just one break?
???Is this the so-called ability to "control stars"???
After Rodman's rebounding "super god", he reached a perverted state. Tang Qian was completely suppressed whether he was blocked or moved. This is really not a joke. Rodman originally wanted to be as good as his rebounding ability.
Tang Qian was almost the same. After becoming a "Super God", he immediately broke through the sky! Tang Qian tried it, and the former's changes in back sensing and center of gravity application reached an unimaginable level. No matter how he fought for position, he couldn't.
It's useless, just hitting an egg against a stone.
It’s really amazing. You deserve to be my teacher. You are still so lively at such an old age! You can still win the league’s rebounding title at the age of 37 to 38. You are indeed not in vain! But... tonight you are "Super"
It’s no use even thinking about it, because the rebound is definitely mine!
In Rodman's disbelieving eyes, Lakers No. 29 jumped from behind and snatched the rebound first!
Without getting stuck in position, he also took away rebounds? Or offensive rebounds? This... how is this possible?
Tang Qian threw it to Curry outside the 3-point line and said: "Shoot, Stephen, I have the rebound!"
Talking like this is not just for the sake of being cool and second-rate. In fact, the more confident you are, the more arrogant you are. It will improve the confidence of your teammates on the court to a certain extent. Curry took a shot, hit a 3-pointer, and the basketball was hollow.
Access the network.
In the fourth quarter, the Tang Qian team tied the score in less than 24 seconds, 69-69. This had a great effect on improving morale.
Inspiring!
The next five or six minutes are the time when Tang Qian's team gradually takes advantage. Each round must score a three-point goal before it ends. The blow to the Bulls is not an ordinary big one. After five or six minutes, both sides
The score difference has changed from the Bulls' lead to the Tang Qian's lead.
85-76, a 9-point gap, it seemed that the balance of victory was beginning to tilt.
