The Lakers and Mavericks played very anxiously in the third quarter. Nowitzki still stepped up to score at critical moments, but he was no longer as aggressive and demanding as in the first two games. This illustrates a problem, Tang Qian's defense
It worked, and the Germans' own condition was also declining. The most obvious one is the shooting percentage. Why do you say this? Because it was not that Tang Qian did not defend well in the first two games, or that Nowitzki's shooting percentage was a bit low after becoming "super god".
Shocking! That’s why Tang Qian’s defense seems a bit scummy.
In fact, even if his competitive status dropped by nearly 30%, Tang Qian should still be in the inside and can be regarded as a good defensive player.
It definitely doesn't look so "ugly".
It's just that the opponent's "super god" high explosive made him a little embarrassed.
Don’t believe it? Judging from Nowitzki’s state in the first two games, you can try Gasol instead! Or someone else, he will definitely do worse than Tang Qian! But there is a slight change tonight, mainly because of Tang Qian’s state
has risen, Nowitzki's side has also "dropped". Although "Comprehensive The.Zone" is great, it is still not as good as "super god". Especially the "super god" in those two games, Nowitzki really
Very strong, almost at his peak.
So Tang Qian has been gritting his teeth and persisting, and he is "fighting for consumption" with Dirk Nowitzki on the opposite side.
Let's see who can't hold on first.
Nowitzki shot 3 of 6 during this period, which is not bad, reaching 50%, which is quite efficient. The Lakers relied on Nash's passing and responded overall. Tonight, at least the Lakers
The starting lineup is still in pretty good shape.
After the Mavericks overcame this scoring slump, they began to hit shots again, and several three-pointers still entered the Lakers' net.
The two sides were in a stalemate like this and came to the fourth quarter.
In the last 5 minutes or so, Old Carter made a three-pointer from the top of the arc, and Yan Xun shot it into the basket, helping the Dallas Mavericks tie the score again. 95-95. The game has reached a critical moment and a white-hot stage. The Mavericks really deserve to be.
The Texas team is truly worthy of being the team that reached Game 7 with the championship Spurs. This kind of toughness is really not available to ordinary teams.
It really echoes what Nowitzki said before, if you want to surpass the Mavericks, please show your true skills.
Otherwise, you won't be able to pass.
At this time, it was star time again. In order to avoid mistakes like the previous game, Kobe directly entered the singles mode with the ball, and Nash moved to the three-point line to act as a turret and shooter. The Lakers team opened up and let
We can have one-on-one time on the 24th without any interference.
Marion defended the ball very hard, but No. 24 still scored with a backhand, giving the Lakers a 2-point lead.
Turning around, Nowitzki also made a mid-range shot. He still maintained his "Comprehensive The.Zone" state. There was no problem with Tang Qian's defense, it was just that the opponent made the shot.
Kobe missed the next ball, and the Mavericks got a chance to take the lead.
This kind of key ball naturally belongs to German No. 41.
"Defend! Pay attention to defense!!!" D'Antoni shouted from the sidelines, but in fact this sentence mainly refers to Tang Qian. Because the Mavericks have already handed the ball into Nowitzki's hands.
"Come on, Dirk." Tang Qian did not collapse like the previous two games. Instead, he concentrated and calmly looked at Dallas No. 41 in front of him. Nowitzki said: "Okay, if you
As you wish." The Mavericks pulled away, and Nowitzki played a post-up single on the right wing. Nowitzki played this ball very rigorously. He chose the safest post-up + Golden Rooster independent play. This is also his various
Among the "shooting bags", the most difficult to defend.
Tang Qian fought against him. After Nowitzki pushed a few steps, he turned around instantly, with his left foot as the center, and turned right to flip. When Tang Qian wanted to stick to him, he suddenly found that he could not move as far as he wanted.
On the position! This...
It turned out that the moment Nowitzki turned around, he used his right leg to step diagonally across the outside of Tang Qian's body. This meant that he effectively squeezed the defender's movement and take-off. Then he raised his right foot and made a one-leg knee lift.
, further hindering the defender's blocking and interference range. Under normal circumstances, the defender can only barely jump on tiptoes, and the height and speed are extremely weak. For the German King, it is equal to an open position and can be adjusted calmly.
And the gap to take action.
This move is not something you can use just when you want. Without solid basic skills and veteran league game experience, it is extremely difficult to be so "stable, accurate and ruthless". But for those who have already played in the league
For the Germans who have been in the country for more than ten years, this method has long been able to be used at will and freely. If it is used suddenly, Tang Qian will hit a big nail!
I suffered a small loss!
However, Tang Qian sometimes surprised Nowitzki!
He actually pressed against his opponent's knee, forced him to jump, and blocked him!
Although Nowitzki didn't exert much force, his knees were still very hard. When they were pushed up to his chest, no one could avoid feeling suffocated and no one could avoid pain. But Tang Qian gritted his teeth and endured it. His whole body was hard.
She slapped the basketball! This scene made Bill McDonald on the sidelines say: He is really brave! He really works hard!
Nowitzki missed the shot and the basketball hit the neck of the basket and bounced high.
The ball was stabbed diagonally by Marion and caught, and then he made a second attack.
After the basketball was halfway through the air, a big yellow hand suddenly appeared from behind Marion. Then, with a "pop" sound, the ball flew away with great force. The ball lost control and hit the Lakers backboard. Gasol protected it.
Got this rebound.
"Beautiful cover! Hot!" Gasol said, and immediately passed the ball to Nash in front. The "Son of the Wind" passed to Kobe. Kobe broke through and easily avoided Jose Calderon.
He turned around and dunked into the basket with one hand! After the goal, 99-95, the Lakers led the Dallas people by 4 points!
"Don't think I'm afraid." Tang Qian looked at Nowitzki and said, "From now on, I will do my best to pester you, because this is my mission in this game." Nowitzki looked at the score difference.
, looked at the time again, and replied: "I'll teach you, don't say anything too early, there are still a few minutes left."
"I know, but this ball won't be the last ball you miss."
"Really?" Nowitzki said a little unhappy.
"Yes." Tang Qian replied, his voice calm as if it was the truth.
On the other hand, the Mavericks are still Dirk Nowitzki. There is no way. Monta Ellis is being targeted by Kobe Bryant. Jose Calderon's singles ability is relatively poor. Even Nash can't be as good as the star guard. "A lot of
"Withdraw money". Furthermore, even if you attack him, you can only do it occasionally and cannot be used as a regular weapon. As for Marion, he is not as good as he was at his peak. The defensive end is passable, and the offensive end's ability to hold the ball has also greatly deteriorated.
Lost it. As for Dalembert who is also in the post, you might as well expect someone on the bench to step up. He has never had much offensive ability in his life.
What's more, it's a ball against the wind and a key ball that must be scored?
Among the five players on the court for the Mavericks, only No. 41 can guarantee a hit rate. The rest are either being stared at, or they are just watching the sky. It would be better for him to shoot blindly and get a high hit rate. Basketball, as expected, has come to Germany again.
Human hands.
Nowitzki didn't say anything and continued to back up. This was not to push in more, but it was just that it would be much more convenient to protect the ball and make follow-up actions. Furthermore, he could fully feel Tang Qian's movements and movements during the back-up process.
Position, increase confrontation, and help yourself improve the shooting space. When Tang Qian entered the "Defensive The.Zone", Nowitzki's offense was obviously simple and concise, that is, back body + Golden Rooster independent fade away shot.
This is actually a bit hopeless. If he changes defenders, Nowitzki will also consider the post-up + cut-in, post-up + face-to-the-basket play, but facing the Lakers No. 29, he is very afraid of doing this because of the opponent's body.
His quality and interior defensive ability are both top-notch in history. If he takes the initiative to penetrate the interior one-on-one, it would be a bit of a "sheep in the tiger's mouth", and his strengths will become weaknesses.
As a result, Nowitzki actually doesn't have many options left.
He has never encountered a defender like Lakers No. 29 in his career.
It's still a back-up + Golden Rooster independent backwards. Tang Qian still ignores Nowitzki's knees and hits the ball hard against the wind. You must know that he is also in the state of "defending The.Zone" now, if it weren't for the "inner demon" to weaken him
With an overall state of 28%, he is confident that he can block this ball at least 70% to 80%. Now, he cannot achieve this level. Even half of the success is a luxury.
We can only "do our best and obey fate".
But now, things have finally turned around, and Tang Qian's persistence has paid off.
Nowitzki's condition is declining.
It was almost impossible to sustain the explosion of "Comprehensive The.Zone", and his physical fitness turned yellow.
After all, he is already old, and the most important thing is that in the first two games, he exploded too fiercely, so now his physical reserves have long been insufficient, and his body has not fully recovered. Tang Qian also calculated this, so he
The purpose of constantly entangled with the former is to "consumption" and cause Nowitzki to have problems faster.
Nowitzki's shot was a little unstable. After fighting with Tang Qian for most of the game, he finally showed some fatigue. Of course, No. 29's defense is also an aspect. In short, this ball...
Missed again.
"Well done!!! The defense was very good in the second half tonight. Although Nowitzki was still scoring, the efficiency has dropped to a certain extent compared with the previous games! If the Lakers can maintain their performance, this game
The chances of winning the game are not small.”
"That's right! If we win this game, our defense will be a huge contribution."
But Gasol's inside turn was intercepted by Nowitzki. Judging from Nowitzki's career average, he averaged 0.9 steals per game in the regular season this season, and his career steals in the playoffs are as high as 1+.
! This is a very good steal data for a 7-footer! For comparison, Gasol only averaged 0.5 steals per game in the regular season and playoffs, which is basically twice as many as Nowitzki! Duncan
Never had such data before! The Mavericks regained the ball, and looking at the time, it was no longer sufficient.
If he doesn't score again and the Lakers score another one, the pressure will be great.
Nowitzki showed his special skills, diagonal golden rooster independence, and in order to avoid being disturbed, he made a relatively large range of movements. If the referee hadn't turned a blind eye, this ball would have been a vague foul.
I suspect that the knee-raising movement is a bit too much.
But at this time, it's still the playoffs, and no referee will "meddle in other people's business."
Players themselves are the "right way" that has been handed down over the years by the league.
Tang Qian pounced on him, with good speed and timing. Before his aching chest could recover, he pushed forward again and was hit hard again. However, it seemed that the effect was coming, as Nowitzki's actions had some effects.
Little by little deformation.
He has an advantage in both physical fitness and strength attributes.
Are you on guard? You have a great idea! I must shoot this ball in!!!
Under huge defensive pressure, the Germans unexpectedly broke into the "Super God" again!!!
The angle and amplitude of the backward tilt also increased a lot in an instant, and like a basketball or an anti-aircraft gun, it fell into the Lakers net with precision.
"We will win, and you will go to Dallas for the final trial!"
Nowitzki said after scoring, Tang Qian shook his head with a wry smile, but the latter soon recovered his face and said: "We will go to Dallas, but not to accept the trial, but to execute the trial!!!"
"What a beautiful idea you have!!!" Nowitzki hit a three-pointer from the top of the arc in the next round to help the Mavericks take the lead.
But Tang Qian has never been discouraged. He has always defended honestly and conscientiously. The whole defensive end followed Nowitzki and never left. He did not give up hope or defense because of his opponent's "super god".
Strength of.
Kobe Bryant hit a back-up shot, and the Lakers came back ahead. As for the Mavericks, they were still the same old team.
In this situation, only experienced drivers can hold the steering wheel firmly and have excellent key abilities. If you don't give it to him, who will you give it to?
Can……
Tang Qian felt Nowitzki's fatigue, which was a sign that his physical strength had reached its limit. As long as he could persist for a few more rounds, Nowitzki might... No, no need to wait, it's now!!
!
Feeling that the frequency of Nowitzki's movements had slowed down, Tang Qian seized the opportunity and got close to him to block the ball. Fortunately, the former was a veteran and reacted in time, and the basketball left his hand early. Will this ball go in? He
Having fallen out of "Super God" and "The.Zone", now it's the most common move! Tang Qian's interference worked!
The basketball hit the iron, collapsed from the basket and flew away. The Lakers protected the defensive rebound and then handed it to Kobe. Kobe made a one-on-one single and hit the net. The Lakers took a 3-point lead. Later, Nowitzki's shooting percentage showed a cliff.
He is declining, unable to maintain the "Super God" and "The.Zone". With his ordinary state, it is a bit difficult to suppress the Lakers No. 29 who is still "defending The.Zone".
After shooting 1 of 4 from the field, the Lakers relied on Kobe to score consecutive points and take away the game.
In the end, Kobe scored a game-high 39 points, Nash had 11 assists, and Gasol had 19 points and 14 rebounds. Only Tang Qian's statistics tonight were a bit "bleak", with only 6 points and 5 rebounds.
The level of rebounds, 3 blocks and 1 assist. However, he perfectly focused on the Mavericks' No. 41 at the critical moment in the second half. Nowitzki scored 31 points in the game. In the fourth quarter, the German only scored 6 points.
, his hit rate is less than 35%, which is a bit different from his previous performance.
At the critical moment, he did not withstand the defensive pressure, and just like the previous two games, he got the winning match point for the Mavericks.
Tang Qian's statistics may not be pretty, but his final performance is what the Lakers need most now!
The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Dallas Mavericks by 5 points 106-101, winning this crucial "Battle of Heavenly Kings Mountain".
With a big score of 3-2, the Lakers regained the lead in the series.
Tang Qian looked at his hands, slowly clenched them into fists, and said, "I did it, I did it."
