Chapter 659 Is there really no hope? The outbreak is complete~
"Tang, don't always think about changing everything by yourself. The opponent is too strong and it's impossible for one person to succeed. It's useless even if Jordan comes." Jerry Sloan pointed out the misunderstanding that Tang Qian entered. "What do you mean?
"Sir? How do you defeat your opponent?" Tang Qian asked.
"We must use the essence of basketball to defeat our opponents!" Jerry Sloan said: "The essence of basketball is to use the team to defeat individuals."
"Using a team to defeat an individual? This..." Tang Qian looked a little doubtful, because in the United States, it is obvious that the critical moment is the superstar's personal stage. If you give other role players opportunities, they will be under too much pressure. Many times, even if they are open,
It can't produce good results. Huh? Wait? Role players? There are no so-called role players in our team.
Of the five people on the court now, who is not an All-Star? Such a team...
"I know your doubts." Jerry Sloan said: "But believe me, if we compete one-on-one with the team coached by Phil Jackson, and compete with the stars in singles, we will definitely lose. His tactical system, tactics
Concepts are all serving this juncture. So if we want to win, we can only rely on the team." "But our team strength is not as good as our opponents, sir, this cannot be ignored." Tang Qian's question was not
Jerry Sloan did not stump him. The old man smiled and said: "The team I am talking about is not just what you think. The team and the individual are always inseparable. Without individuals, how can there be a team?
"
"So what do you mean?"
"Have you seen the competitive state of Ray and Stephen?" Jerry Sloan actually enjoyed this kind of ultimate showdown, especially the ultimate showdown with Phil Jackson, which ignited his desire to win, and said
: "What you have to do is not only ignite yourself, but also ignite them! As the soul of a team, this is what you must master!"
"It's not enough to ignite one person, so ignite 2, 3, 4, and then the effect of the team will come out."
"Don't be superstitious about your opponent's historical status and honor. Victory or defeat is always determined by fighting, not judging!"
"Let us go up and kill them!!!"
Jerry Sloan spoke so domineeringly, which was beyond Tang Qian's expectation. In fact, he didn't understand the former. The former has always had such a "bad temper" since his days as a player. NBA life, famous sayings
, too many to count.
People who come from farms speak in such a down-to-earth manner.
Don’t play fake!
His coaching style and coaching school are completely different from those of "Zen Master" Jackson.
But these words reminded Tang Qian that it is impossible for one person to defeat this legendary Lakers team. It is like asking you to fight against the dream team by yourself. No matter how defiant you are, you can still win over a group of people.
Daniel? Do you think he is just a paper person in name only?
Therefore, Jerry Sloan's words played a great role in stimulating Tang Qian and this game.
In order to increase scoring points, Tang Qian asked Sloan to temporarily replace Ben Wallace and replace him with Pau Gasol from the 2005-06 season. At least the "Gasol" during the Grizzlies period was a stable scorer of 20+.
This is much better than Wallace. Of course, his defense and rebounding are far inferior to the latter, but now Tang Qian inside has a golden block card to support his defense, and his rebounding can also suppress Wilt Chamberlain, so he is the same as Jerry Sloan.
After discussion, they decided to take risks and make dangerous moves.
But as soon as he came on the court, "Add a Sister-in-Law" was a surprise. Not only was Chamberlain's hat-trick in the offense, but Kareem Abdul-Jabbar also blocked the rebounder. He didn't play the role that the 4th position should have at all. Sloan couldn't help himself off the court.
Tang Qian originally wanted to say a few words, but loudly reprimanded the Grizzly Gasol, but many images flashed through his mind:
Wait, before Gasol won two consecutive championships, his playing style was actually very soft, at least in the playoffs, it was very obvious.
He is really not a bad guy. He is a very strong second-in-command, with a high golf IQ, extraordinary height and wingspan, and his endurance and endurance are among the top among European big men. But, he cannot be the first-in-command.
Not to mention leading the team to 12 wins and 0 losses in the playoffs, the main reason is that the average data in the playoffs dropped significantly during the period when I was leading the team. You said it doesn’t look much different from the regular season? No, look at the data comprehensively.
Gasol's average data per game may be the same as the regular season during the years he led the team, but the shooting percentage is not very different except for the first year when people are not familiar with you and are not targeting you. From the second year onwards, the playoffs are the same.
A big landslide in a year.
Can you imagine a 7-foot big man who shot only 43.3% in the series??? When Kobe’s 45% shooting rate was criticized by the "Blacksmith", an inside All-Star player only shot 43.3% in the playoffs.
43.3%? This is seriously unqualified. In the year when he led the team with his best performance, he averaged 21.3 points in the series after taking 20 shots per game. The efficiency was really worrying. He averaged only 3 free throws per game in the series, which was also hard.
Injury, indicating lack of lethality. Not to mention the fact that his rebounding data has also plummeted. Why was he given the nickname "Jiasao"? In addition to saying that he and Kobe have a tacit understanding like a husband and wife, there is also a preference for his inside game.
A soft irony.
The Lakers did not change this until the Lakers won two consecutive championships, successfully helping Kobe Bryant break through the Western Conference and finally "assume the throne."
Therefore, it is not surprising that Gasol played quite softly in the 2005-06 season.
After all, in this season's playoffs, his shooting percentage was only 43.3% and he only averaged 6.8 rebounds per game.
With nearly 40+ playing time, this kind of data is similar to that of Lopez of the Nets. Leading the team alone, the disadvantage in rebounding is clearly visible.
But now, the scoring point of Gasol is indispensable. After Tang Qian thought for a while, he walked to Gasol, who looked a little depressed, and opened his mouth and said: "Paul, you can't play like this. You will only marginalize yourself by playing like this."
Hua, we need you now."
Gasol's eyes were dull and he said: "How can I play? This is how I play. The opponent is too strong and I can't do anything about it. Moreover, I have too few opportunities to touch the ball and I can't feel it." Gasol said.
As soon as the words came out, Tang Qian immediately thought of what he saw from Kobe Bryant's words to motivate him last season. And after saying this, Gasol immediately became in excellent condition and his performance improved in many consecutive games.
So this conversation was published in the Los Angeles Times.
Gasol is still a European insider at heart, he likes to complain, and he doesn't have such a strong heart, so... he needs someone to encourage him.
Motivation from time to time.
"Paul! You're wrong to say that!" Tang Qian suddenly put on a serious face and said: "You have a lot of opportunities to touch the ball, but as soon as you get the ball, you pass the ball or take a shot outside the penalty area.
Maintaining offensive firepower like this? How do you find the offensive feeling?" "I passed the ball because the opponent was too strong. I didn't have the confidence to attack the basket, and your position was better, so I chose to pass the ball to support." Gasol.
The words were indeed the same as what he heard last time. Tang Qian immediately said loudly: "Why is our attack position better? Have you ever thought about it?"
"Because your movement and interweaving are better."
"Why are our movements and interleaving better?" Tang Qian asked rhetorically.
"Because...because..." Gasol was speechless and couldn't answer. Tang Qian shouted, "Because you are too soft! Because you are afraid of confrontation! Because you are not aggressive enough in playing! So
You are always where you want and can't catch the ball! So you are always reduced to a passer! This is not your sacrifice! This is caused by your timidity and fear!"
"Let me ask you." Seeing that Gasol was confused, Tang Qian immediately asked: "Do you want to be tough? Do you have the desire to score in the low post? Yes???" Gasol was hesitant.
Said: "I, of course I do. Of course I want to be tough."
"Okay~" Tang Qian said: "Then prove it to me."
"How can I prove it?" Gasol said.
"It's simple! Just be aggressive all the time! It's up to you!"
This sentence was added by Tang Qian himself. When he turned and ran to the frontcourt, he dropped a sentence to the Spaniard and said: "Whether the egg shrinks or erects, others cannot decide. The only thing that can decide is always
yourself."
"I believe in you, but you must first not believe in yourself."
Gasol was stunned when he heard this. After a few seconds, his whole person faintly changed.
McGrady missed an outside shot, and Tang Qian and Chamberlain blocked the position inside. To be honest, just one Lakers No. 13 was enough for him. If there was another Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, he would probably... replace Ben Wallace.
Was it a mistake?
Just as he was thinking about it? Tang Qian suddenly realized that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar did not force his way over and double-team him like he did in the last round.
Turning his head, he discovered that it was Grizzlies No. 16 "fighting" with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the other side of the low post.
And obviously, the Spaniard's bullfighting blood was awakened by himself.
He also entered "The.Zone"!
OK! Now that the entire team is basically in "The.Zone", the next step is to activate T-M!
At this moment, Tang Qian realized how difficult it is to be the core of the team. He is not only responsible for the offense and defense on the field, but also the competitive state and mental psychology of his teammates. These are also things that the core should be responsible for.
Then why are there so many core tasks? There is no reason, just because you are the core and because you get the most money. Isn’t this reason enough?
The game has entered a fever pitch, and both sides are fighting with all their strength. At this time, Curry's role is finally highlighted. It is said that scoring 2 points stably and chasing points rely on 3 points. If you want to quickly narrow the score gap, the three-pointer is the key.
key.
Fortunately, this series is now played according to the rules of the second decade of the 21st century.
Moreover, Tang Qian’s team has the strongest marksman in NBA history, Warriors No. 30, Stephen Curry.
After Curry became a "super god", under this rule, he was full of firepower. Although he was beaten twice by the "Magician", he showed no mercy on the offensive end. He hit three consecutive three-pointers and the score difference quickly narrowed.
It's in the single digits.
When the Lakers were attacking, "Magic" Johnson wanted to continue to hit Curry with his back in a misplaced position, but Curry forced him to defend him. It can be seen that Stephen Curry is not only on the offensive end, he should be "super awesome" in all aspects.
The Tang Qian team took the opportunity to rush down. Curry dribbled to prepare for a three-point attack. The legendary Lakers quickly double-teamed. At this time, Curry chose to pass the ball and the basketball flew to the open corner. The person standing there
, it’s the Sonics, Ray Allen.
Ray Allen took action, and the legendary Lakers quickly rotated their defense. Almost at the same time, Kobe flew out and dived to block the ball.
The final whistle sounded, a three-pointer was scored, No. 24 committed a defensive foul, and an additional free throw was required!
There is more than 1 minute left, we still have a chance!!!
Tang Qian clenched his fist secretly on the field and said.
Unfortunately, Ray Allen's ball seemed to have provoked the Lakers' No. 24. As soon as the next ball passed half court, he took the shot half a meter away from the three-point line. McGrady was caught off guard and hit the net with a three-pointer.
And turning around, Kobe and "Magic" Johnson substituted each other, and the Lakers began to stare at Stephen Curry with all their strength on the 24th!
In this change of formation on the field, "Zen Master" did not interfere much, because in his opinion, it was the right thing to do.
Although Ray Allen is also a three-point shooter and a big-hearted player, he is not on the same level as the Warriors' No. 30. The Warriors' No. 30 is a comprehensively enhanced version of the former. Perhaps in addition to physical fitness and shooting skills,
The latter has entered a field that no one has ever touched. "Zen Master" looks at people very viciously, so Kobe took the initiative to switch defense, and he nodded secretly.
Kobe was a defensive monster at his peak, which was completely different from his state after 2010.
Let's put it this way, the same is the first defense, and there is a distinction between strength and weakness. A 95-point first defense and an 80-point first defense may seem to have the same honors, but the scene effects are completely different. Kobe Bryant at his peak was guarding Ku.
Here, Curry suddenly became a little misfired. Facing the elderly Kobe Bryant who had torn his Achilles tendon, he couldn't completely get rid of him one-on-one. He could only force Yan Yu to shoot. Now this is the peak No. 24, what is he doing?
This is still the case without Hand-g. If there were, Curry would probably suffer again.
It's not that No. 24 can completely guard against the "super god" Curry, but with restrictions, there is definitely no problem.
Because Curry left the Warriors system and only played in isolation, he was not ranked among the quasi-super giants.
This is not to belittle Curry, but he is a player without the ball and shooting. Singles is not his strongest point and he cannot fully display his true strength. Tang Qian will see his true ability in the future.
Suddenly, the Tang Qian team's outside attack was faintly contained again. If they score 2 points, the opponent can also score on the offensive end. If they go back and forth, the time will be over long ago. The legendary Lakers can afford it.
But Tang Qian's team obviously couldn't afford to delay them.
The game time is very unfavorable for them.
"Zen Master" Jackson's face slowly showed a smile of victory. He believed that he would definitely win this game.
Yes, with Lakers No. 29 here, Tang Qian basically can't attack the basket in the penalty area, but... what is the triangle offense? Where is the essence? We can't create one-on-one singles opportunities on the inside, and we can't create one-on-one opportunities on the outside.
sure.
No matter how strong you are on the 29th, you are only one person. As long as we launch a one-on-one triangle outside the penalty area, what can you do to me?
As for the triangle offense, it can be used with the inside line and is also compatible with the outside line.
Otherwise, neither Choko nor O'Neal are players in the same position, so why would the triangle offense still run unimpeded? This is the reason why the "Zen Master" has been as stable as a rock until now.
The legendary Lakers are really good on the outside. No. 24 Kobe stepped forward again and scored consecutive high-post shots. It can be seen that Kobe is far more reliable than "Baylor" on key balls. Regardless of whether you look at the data or not, it is the same.
The fact is, it is definitely not the same as the past. Elgin Baylor's career shooting percentage is only 43%, which is already good, but he is still much weaker than Kobe.
Kobe's shooting percentage is around 45%. In fact, he has always been very good on the back line. Especially before the rise of efficient play, Kobe's corrected shooting percentage, true shooting rate, and basic shooting rate were all the best on the back line.
But if you want to compare him with forward players, of course they can't compare. Comparing hits across positions is not a comparable thing at all.
It is obvious that the back line is not as good as the forward line, and the forward line is not as good as the inside line. It is as strong as Qiao Shen, the first man in history, and has no ability to break this shackles. So look at the four major points and some of the previous outside scoring champions, and you will
You know, the 45% shooting rate is not as bad as you think. Furthermore, the shooting rate is affected by many factors, such as the way of the game, the rhythm of the game, teammates around you, the style of play of the era, shot distance, shot selection,
Pot catch rate, etc., there are countless. To convert, it is the difference between 10 out of 20 and 9 out of 20 in a game. You can say that 2 points determines many things, but the above factors must also be considered.
Iverson is always criticized for his shooting percentage. Is it really an inefficient breakup? The year he entered the finals, he took 30 shots to score 32+ points, and his shooting rate was only about 38%. But if you think about it, without him
, could the 76ers make it to the Finals that year?
The hit rate thing is actually just a reference value. Of course it is useful, but if you treat it as a "bible", you will ultimately only regard yourself as a "nerve". Because many things cannot be quantified by data.
This famous shooting percentage argument, in fact, after James' 14-15 season, few people "raise it high".
The most efficient star in the league once boasted that he could definitely score 60 points in 37 shots. After James scored 61 points in 33 shots that year, he was immediately regarded as a "standard" and continued to exaggerate. But the fact is,
The sample of one game is too small. It is true that King James exploded in that game, but it is almost certain that he has entered the "Super God" and is not an ordinary "Super God", so he did this. One sample is too many
, immediately reveal the true situation.
The 2014-15 Finals was a year when James really started firing, but the fact is that he only scored 35.8 points in 32.7 shots.
This is actually a very strong statistic. It’s okay if the hit rate is less than 40%. But from this point of view, if you really give a person 30+ shots, he will definitely be able to average more than 40+ per game. That’s just a dream. This
It's still just one round of the series. Over the course of a whole season, the sample size will be larger and it will be more difficult to maintain stability. Therefore, when Tang Qian plays basketball, he always regards the so-called hit rate as a reference, authority, and standard.
He can't do it.
Because many realities told him that this was simply impossible.
Playing basketball, especially professional basketball, is always about performance on the court, which trumps everything else.
In one game, XXX scored 30 points with a low shooting percentage, but every shot was hard and key. In a game, XXX also scored 30 points with a high shooting percentage, but it was insignificant garbage time.
, will you be deceived if you look at the data after the game? So, the data can actually lie. The more games you watch, the more you will feel this way.
ESPN has hyped up the so-called "big data theory" in the NBA, but don't forget that they are always just media people and never true insiders.
Listening to a group of outsiders commenting on insiders is originally a bit "hype" and "ridiculous".
It's just that the NBA is a business league, so it needs to deal with these media people. There is no way.
There is no problem with data refinement, and it is even a good thing to promote the development of basketball. But everything is based on data. Well, this is the impact that ESPN wants to have on you after it implements "big data theory".
"Magic's" career PER is only 18th in history, not as good as Barkley, Robinson, or even Towns and Anthony Davis. Is this his strength? You must know that "Magic" is definitely among the top five in NBA history.
Man, he retired because of AIDS at the peak of his career. Logically speaking, there is no such thing as holding him back at the end. This is what he has. Yao Ming’s career PER ranks 25th in history. Is he better than Nowitzki and Garnett?
Is he a better player? Even though he is Yao Mi, he can't say this. There are many similar things. Olajuwon, the number one center in the 1990s, also ranked outside the 20th in career PER and has never touched the Western Conference.
Paul, who dominates the floor, is the master of this list, occupying the top seven positions for a long time.
Let me use the exact words of Steve Kerr, the head coach of the 2016-2017 Warriors after they won the championship: First of all, I don’t like the PER data. I think it is a statistic with many flaws. Of course, I don’t know how.
Let’s improve this data model. For example, when I first came to the Bay Area, Green’s PER was very low, even much lower than David Lee. But later everyone knew that David was a very comprehensive All-Star.
player, but his impact on the game is far less than Green. But just looking at this PER, you will think, oh, how is this thing calculated?
This paragraph is the original words of host LOWE when he interviewed Cole after he won the championship. Even the head coach does not trust something (not to mention that the head coach is not an expert), but the fans were stunned by the media people. This is ESPN
Promotional success, or another kind of basketball tragedy?
Brush~
Kobe Bryant scored consecutively, and Tang Qian's team could not close the score difference. And this is what "Zen Master" Jackson wanted.
As long as it drags on, victory can be guaranteed.
Tang Qian is anxious, but he cannot make more contributions on the offensive end. His current strength is on the defensive end.
On the offensive end, he could only do nothing and be helpless.
But now there is a problem. On the Tang Qian team, no one can handle No. 24, and no one can defend No. 24, so the score cannot be reduced at all. There is no way, what will you do if they don't play inside? You Tang Qian, go out?
The accurate basketball was slung back into the paint.
The game entered 1 minute, but the Tang Qian team was still 6 points behind its opponent.
Tang Qian originally wanted to give it a try, but at this time, Kobe Bryant, who was at his peak, poured cold water on him and his team.
No, it's not cold water, it's ice water.
With a "swipe" sound, the top-curving three-pointer forced McGrady into the net.
PS: Cole’s interview about PER data is true and correct, not made up by Xiaozi. In fact, the founder of this data model, ESPN’s data expert and current Grizzlies executive John Hollinger himself once said this
Xiao Zi will post the English version of the original text on the shortcomings and defects of the model system to the book club. If you are interested, you can take a look for yourself. I say this not to prove how bad PER is, but just to restore the best way to watch football.
As it is, if the greatness of outstanding players is measured solely by data models, it will definitely end up being "disputed" and boring.
I especially miss the atmosphere of watching football in those days. What everyone discussed most was the performance on the court, instead of pretending to be an expert and throwing out a lot of data. Xiao Zi personally believes that the data is only a reference, the key is to watch the game.
That's it. Cold statistics can never replace a truly exciting and passionate real game.
Don’t worry about the rest of the plot, Xiao Zi said that a complete outline has been drawn up long ago, and there will be no overwriting.
