Chapter 821 Scale changes and unspoken rules of penalty
2-0, the Lakers have a chance to sweep the Space City! - Los Angeles Times.
Comprehensive suppression! Kobe suppressed Harden! Hot suppressed Howard!——Beach bleachers.
The first point guard? The first center? Do you still have to think about it now? Idiots should have seen it, right? - Lakers Nation.
No. 1 shooting guard! No. 1 center! All in Los Angeles! All at Staples! - T.N.T official website.
In China, headlines are flying all over the place:
No. 1 center? No. 1 point guard? Why don’t you come to Staples Center and die???
Tang Ji bluntly said, No. 1 center? Just look at the data! I’m too lazy to answer!
The Lakers' defeat of the Rockets has become an avalanche of momentum! Unstoppable!
In terms of post bars, the number of fans of the Lakers has skyrocketed. Basically, NBA bars and basketball bars are "dominated" and all posts are about the Lakers or related to the Lakers. Of course, this can also easily attract dissatisfaction to the Lakers, because there are always posts about the Lakers.
There are some radical fans who talk about "instant kill", "complete explosion" and "who still refuses to accept it". If you read too much, it will always make people bored.
But there is nothing we can do about it. It would be strange if the quality of the fan base could still be controlled.
Unless you achieve Jordan's level of absolute project dominance, it's still pretty much the same.
Otherwise, there will be as much darkness as there are density. This is normal.
The same was true in the forum, with laughter and laughter everywhere, making people extremely happy.
What is Harden doing? Facing Kobe Bryant, he spent the second half flying kites outside the three-point line? Is this still the same offensive master?
Believe me, brother, Harden is just looking for new ways to defeat the enemy. Since drawing fouls doesn’t work, then maybe three-pointers?
Looking at this shot, it seems that it is McHale's standard tactic. It is completely blind and there is no sense of well-trained play.
I think our high school’s tactical system is better than theirs! Really!
Then you are overthinking it. After all, the NBA is still the NBA, and high school students can only be defeated by hard skills! You must be kidding!
Kobe dominates Harden and Tang Qi dominates Warcraft. Is there anything more to say? The game is over! Everyone, go home!
The Rockets scorer the most is Jeremy Lin. This is so ironic. He is just a bench player. I feel sorry for Brother Hao.
If the Rockets still compete with the Lakers for superstar ball, then the series will be lost! Because they can't compete at all, okay? This is asking for death! Even an old fan like me can't stand it anymore!
Brother, let me ask, who do you support, Tang Qi or the Rockets?
Of course I support Tang Ji, I'm just used to supporting the Rockets.
Let's switch to the home team, the Rockets no longer have a clay pot.
I think the Rockets will basically not be able to win a game unless everyone takes doping!
Believe me, you may not win if you eat.
…
But at this time, someone intervened. Because David Stern was basically in a semi-retired state, Adam Silver, who was about to take office next season, held a secret meeting. The content is very simple, just add a few words.
The "intensity" and "competition" of the Lakers and Rockets. This kind of bullshit is actually his usual method. In the future, the league's manipulation of games will also be highlighted instantly. In order to increase the ratings, he can compare with David S.
Tern is much more courageous.
However, this is the habit of Americans. They basically decide the successor and will not interfere too much.
For example, Jobs and Cook have completely incompatible leadership styles, but they have also made a transition. This is completely different in China or the "father-son system" and "family system". However, the United States has been a developed country for a long time, and it has no economic system.
and ideas are becoming more mature and complete. If the country is given some development time, it will have the potential to catch up with the past.
On May 10th, US time, the third game of the Lakers vs. Houston Rockets series was moved to the Toyota Center in Houston. Aerospace City vowed to stop the opponent at home and complete a comeback.
Now that we are back at home, we will look brand new! Rockets head coach Kevin McHale said.
Houston's local newspapers also cheered for the Rockets, while satirizing and belittling the Lakers.
These are common tactics, and the Lakers didn't take them seriously.
Mike D'Antoni even joked, claiming that he just wanted to end the series in Houston.
The Lakers' side is generally relatively relaxed, because after two games, they have a clearer understanding of the Rockets' strength. They hardly pose much of a threat to the team.
Because their core points are blocked, there is no need to question the defensive abilities of Kobe and Tang Qian.
In addition, McHale does not have the tactical ability and ability to change his tactics on the spot, so it seems logical to take care of the Rockets.
However, as soon as the game started, they discovered something was wrong.
Because the scale and bias of penalties have changed significantly.
Moreover, they are all heading towards the Rockets.
This only means one thing. The league has taken action. They hope that this series can last a few more games and earn more ratings and dollars.
In fact, there was a similar situation as early as the Stern era. For example, during the Lakers' three consecutive championships, the Sacramento Kings were leading 3-2 and they could advance to the Finals as long as they won one more game. The situation during that time
Yes, as long as they make it out of the Western Conference, the winner of the Finals will basically be decided. The combat effectiveness and competitiveness of the Eastern teams are too weak. That is also the moment when the Kings are closest to the Larry O'Brien Cup. However, the Lakers are on the verge of elimination.
It got the "league bias". After only taking 8 free throws in the first half, it made 32 free throws in the second half. Among them, 27 free throws were made in the fourth quarter!!!
Throughout the game, the Lakers took as many as 40 free throws.
In this way, they had just defeated the Kings by 4 points. Without the 27 free throws in the fourth quarter, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Perhaps the overall direction of history will be changed.
But this is actually not a precedent. After all, the NBA is still a business league than a competitive league. I'm afraid many people don't know that the Bulls took 40 free throws in the fourth game of the Finals and defeated the Jazz by only 4 points.
.
Kobe is not surprised by this, after all, he was one of the "beneficiaries" back then. As long as it is not too exaggerated, he can understand the original intention of the league. If it is not exciting and exciting, the attraction will not be enough to attract ratings.
It will drop, and then the income will also drop. As for the overall income drop, in fact, the players themselves will be the unlucky ones in the end.
The bosses don't care about this penalty kick, but the players point to this "breadwinner".
Therefore, as long as it is not excessive, it is usually acquiesced and just fight hard.
Because even if you take 40+ free throws in the playoffs, victory is not necessarily guaranteed. In fact, there are still many losers. Therefore, as long as you are tough enough, you can still win in the end, leaving the league's macro players powerless.
However, Kobe still underestimated the control determination of the "quasi-new president".
In terms of "business manipulation", he is much more "explicit" than David Stern. But why does he still get the support of most players in the future? That is, he can make the league make money and make more money.
At the same time, this also means that players can make more money. In this case, after you calm down, what reason do you have to oppose him? This can be regarded as capturing the heart and weakness of NBA players. In this regard, he is completely
No worse than David Stern.
Know how to push forward your own reforms and high-level orders with minimal resistance.
Many people were present for this game, especially ESPN. In order to maximize the ratings, they directly invited Rockets stars Olajuwon and Drexler. What about the Lakers? It doesn't hurt to just invite one.
Not Itchy Gail Goodrich speaks.
It’s not that I look down on Gale Goodrich, but in terms of reputation, honorary status, and even number of people, he is not as good as his opponent.
Therefore, the Rockets Group suppressed Goodrich from the beginning and "beat" him, especially some of his "jokes" and "awesomeness", which made Lakers fans' teeth itch.
There is no way. Although he retired his jersey with the Lakers, his honor is really not as good as that of "Glider" Drexler. Not to mention "Big Dream" Ola, who was the first of the "four major centers" in the 1990s.
Zhu Wang is here.
In the basketball circle, you don't have the corresponding honor and ability. When you compete against each other, you are born to be "malnourished" and fall behind.
Why is Barkley always criticized by O'Neal and others? And basically he can't be criticized? This is because he doesn't have enough hard honors, so he can't stand up in front of O'Neal. The same goes for Gale Goodrich. He wants to speak for the Lakers, but
The whole process was suppressed by the "Rocket Group" on the opposite side, which was a bit powerless.
However, if the Lakers work hard, he still has a chance to "finally comeback" with "one against two".
But after the first quarter, the Lakers only led the Rockets by 2 points, with a score of 28-26 in a single quarter. The Rockets seemed to be playing well. However, sitting off the court, Meeks couldn't help but complain.
: "He obviously hit the ball just now! The referee didn't call the penalty? It's really frustrating! I made two mistakes in one game!"
The Lakers committed 8 turnovers in a single quarter, which is definitely a high number, because most of the time, Steve Nash is still in control of the basketball. But it's not that Nash is in poor condition, it's just the passing process.
There was a problem with other players. What do you mean? Many defensive actions were suspected of being fouled.
The scale has obviously changed a bit.
What's more, what makes people speechless is that this change in scale seems to be only for the Lakers.
Kobe and Nash are both veteran players, and they quickly thought of various joints, but they did not think that this could prevent the Lakers from winning. In the second quarter, in order to adapt to the rhythm and scale, the Lakers relied on a steady attack.
The score difference is still slowly widening. At this point, the Rockets don't have much to do. Harden is still tightly enveloped by No. 24, and his performance is extremely limited.
50-42 at halftime, the Lakers lead by 8 points.
Because the two main scoring points of Howard and Harden are locked up, the Rockets' offensive firepower is greatly limited. Relying only on Parsons and Jeremy Lin, it is difficult to offset the gap in firepower with the Lakers. Therefore, it is very difficult to offset the gap in firepower with the Lakers.
The situation has not been reversed.
The Lakers still hold the leading position overall.
But in the second half, the situation changed suddenly.
At the beginning of the second half, Harden of the Rockets began to score frequently. Is it because Kobe's defense has declined? Of course not. This is the Black Mamba at his peak. How could he have physical problems after playing for such a short time? Since there is no physical problem
, then the defense has dropped significantly, which is unlikely. Is that Harden's explosion? No. Harden is under the control of Kobe, and if his condition is not compromised, even if he is good, what is the point of talking about an explosion? This season, he can
It's still "nightclub climbing", without the energy and destructive power of the peak period.
Okay, so what about the peak period? Under normal circumstances, it would be strange to be able to beat the current No. 24.
Do you think Harden is the peak Jordan?
So why? The reason is.
The Lakers committed a defensive foul on No. 24, and the Rockets made two free throws on No. 13!
This is the referee's penalty. Harden obviously felt the change in scale. He began to frequently use "touching porcelain" to create physical contact, then kill the opponent and get the opportunity to get to the free throw line. Because free throws are interference-free.
Yes, Harden's free throws are very good. In the regular season, he made 86% of his free throws. In the playoffs, he was even more accurate, reaching over 90%! So when he gets to the free throw line, he almost scores steadily.
This is already the second consecutive foul against Kobe. To be honest, this second shot feels a bit far-fetched. It is a controversial whistle, but it can be blown or not. And Kobe also received a personal whistle because of two consecutive fouls.
4th foul.
It was just the beginning of the third quarter, and No. 24 was forced to take it down, so he could only watch on the sidelines for the time being.
Mike D'Antoni comforted Kobe a little, but now there is a more troublesome matter. How to deal with it? How to win?
Even though the Lakers are still leading by a few points, the momentum on the court has already swung a bit.
If you don't come up with a solution, these points will be eaten away very quickly.
It’s not that he doesn’t understand the “hidden rules”, and he has nothing to complain about. Because the league’s income is high and valuable, and the number of people watching is high, their head coach will also benefit, and the contract amount will rise. Maybe not as much as the players, but now one is worth tens of millions.
The contract could be negotiated casually. Do you think it was possible in the 1980s and 1990s?
So what D'Antoni has to do now is not to complain, but to think of a solution.
PS: More updates have arrived, Xiaozi is never ambiguous~
Regarding this issue of unspoken rules, it is actually not conjecture or conjecture, it is fact. If you are interested in the details, you can read a book called "Blow the Whistle: Deception in the NBA". This book is based on the experience of imprisoned referees.
Written by M. Donaghy, it is very true and insider. There are many unique insights and explanations about the unspoken rules of the alliance. Business alliances can never avoid certain things and gray areas, and there is no way around it.
The reason why some people are not interested in watching the NBA is also here. The unspoken rules of college basketball are obviously much less than those of the NBA.
Thank you only love YoonA, brave and not afraid of death, don't be too big, brilliant and prosperous, book friend 20170916141145205, quiet honor and monthly ticket~Thank you~
