"The Lakers are not in a good situation right now. Kobe and Gasol were sent off after not playing for a long time. This is really unlucky for the Lakers who just narrowed the score difference." Meteor Rain said. "The main thing is...

The momentum has been curbed." Zhang Weiping said: "On the contrary, the Rockets' momentum has been picked up. Harden's ability to draw fouls is really not simple. But tonight's referee also had a little too much home whistle. Look at both sides.

The Rockets have already made 36 free throws, while the Lakers have made less than 20. It’s normal for this kind of ball to be hard to hit.”

"It hurts the morale of the opponent to take too many free throws, because generally speaking, the shooting percentage of free throws is very high." After Meteor Rain finished speaking, Zhang Weiping shook his head: "High shooting percentage is the second best thing. If you look at the consequences of too many free throws, it's the Lakers."

Many of the Lakers' main players have committed too many fouls, resulting in a reduction in playing time. In fact, the Lakers' bench lineup is not too strong, especially defensively, and it is completely impossible to stop James Harden.

.”

"Then if you were the head coach of the Rockets, what would you do next?"

"If I were the head coach of the Rockets, I would definitely continue to cause damage. The whistle tonight is obviously beneficial to the Rockets. It would be stupid not to take advantage of it. And look at the Lakers, there is only one Tang Qian left in the paint.

He also committed 4 fouls. If he gets another kill..."

Toyota Center, don’t even mention it, that’s really what Harden planned.

Get rid of No. 29 of the Lakers, and then everything will be fine, and you can hit the basket and inside at will.

Now it is Nick Young who is guarding Harden. He is much taller than Harden, but... this has no effect at all. Because the defensive ability and tonnage are not of the same magnitude. Harden can easily pass through it.

He penetrated the latter's defense and then went straight to the inside. No one blocked him in the middle, because the Lakers simply did not have such a tacit understanding.

Their offense seems to be integrated now, but that's just because Steve Nash is forcibly connected on the offensive end. If Nash is taken away, the Los Angeles Lakers will still be a team with no chemistry or team understanding on offense and defense.

Mike D'Antoni is not a defensive coach, so he doesn't have much to do. He can only use his strengths and avoid weaknesses, and try to let the Lakers use man-to-man to defeat their opponents. Because man-to-man is the defensive method that least requires defensive rotations and defensive tactics.

Do you think it’s okay to force rotations and defense changes? In a word, that’s courting death.

Because the chemical reaction and team understanding are insufficient, if you do this forcefully, the more you change, the more chaotic it will be, the more holes you change, the bigger the loopholes will be, and the more you change the defensive rhythm, the more scattered you will be. A strong defense requires integration and condensation. Who told you that?

Can five people defend at the NBA level? Think too much! Besides, among the Lakers players on the court now, except for Tang Qian, there is no one who is particularly good at defense! No, not to mention particularly good, not even good at all.

, completely below the standard!

Nash + Nick Young + Marshall + Jordan Hill, who do you think can be called a passer of defense?

It's not surprising that Harden got over it in a short while.

It would be strange if Nick Young defended himself.

"James easily passed his opponent. He accelerated and rushed into the Lakers' inside line. He should be preparing to end the attack by himself! The only thing standing in front of him now is Dongfang Fang!"

In the live commentary, Harden and Tang Qian faced off.

Tang Qian looked at the former and was not afraid at all, because he had strong confidence to defend the ball.

End it directly? You think too much!

Directly attacking the basket is my favorite defensive attack mode!

Tianchao Sports Channel.

"James Harden broke through and broke into the paint. He didn't choose to distribute the ball. He went straight in! Can Tang Qianqian block it?"

More than 1 second later, Meteor Rain shouted loudly in the live broadcast room: "Blocked! Tang Qian successfully blocked Harden's impact at the basket!"

"This ball is very good. Tang Qian's ability to protect the penalty area is really one of the strongest I have ever seen. It's a bit unwise for Harden to come like this." Zhang Weiping had just finished speaking when a whistle sounded on the broadcast screen and asked him to

He stopped talking.

Because of the referee's gesture, this was the Lakers' defensive foul No. 29.

"Is this ball a foul? Oh, this ball is obviously not a foul but a good ball. You look at it going straight up and down. How could you call a foul? This must be a misjudgment by the referee!"

"Director Zhang, Tang Qian committed five fouls on this ball. Behind the Lakers..."

"Yeah, five fouls, the Lakers will be hard to beat from behind."

In the domestic live broadcast room, a group of people also flooded the screen and said:

Oh no! This is also a foul??? It’s obviously not a foul! This is a black whistle!!!

Yes! The whistle tonight was so weird! How many free throws has this been? It must have been 40 times!

They don’t give slow motion replays??? You must be feeling guilty!!! I can see there is nothing wrong with this ball!!!

Pull it down! Are you more accurate, or is the referee more accurate? Are professional referees not as good as you, an amateur fan? Shut up! Don’t embarrass yourself!

I think there should be some problems! After all, people see it from a close distance, and we see it from a distance. Maybe we missed some details!

How disgusting! King Pengci! The domestic Pengci Army did not accept him, which is a big loss!

Toyota Center.

Someone on the Lakers bench stood up and loudly protested this penalty.

Nick Young also shouted on the court, looking very dissatisfied.

But Nash quickly stopped him, because he had already received a technical foul in this game. If he does it again, regardless of whether the number of personal fouls is full or not, he will be ejected. Now Kobe is unable to come up, and his strong shooting ability

, Nick Young is really a scoring point that is hard to miss.

Harden also seemed to be very satisfied with the results of this attack. He felt that his performance skills had improved to a certain extent.

Behind Tang Qian, Rockets fans shouted: "Hurry up and get down, you Orientals! People in Los Angeles are all bad guys tonight! You can't beat us!"

This is the special treatment that home fans give to away teams. There is nothing to make a fuss about, and Tang Qian will not argue with him.

If you want to vent your anger, vent it on the person in charge.

This is Tang Qian's usual practice.

"You are very proud, aren't you? Pengci King?" Tang Qian said.

"Touch porcelain? What does it mean?" Harden obviously doesn't understand this word, because in the United States, he is still described as "the best actor" and "the king of diving." "It means that you are a player with no guts and no character."

Tang Qian said: "Of course, the referee is also a good 'accomplice'."

"Haha~ You are not convinced? If you are not convinced, just go to the referee to argue. It is useless to tell me, understand?" Harden has achieved his goal and has a psychological advantage, so he doesn't care about Tang Qian's dissatisfaction.

Well, he just needs to be happy.

"I know it's useless to talk to you, and I also know it's useless to talk to the referee." Tang Qian suddenly showed a cold and angry face: "So, I just want to tell you that you have offended me."

"It seems that you have forgotten how I slapped you away before, right?"

"You don't have to say that, Oriental, you're going to be off the field soon. Just talk to me again when you come on."

At this time, Tang Qian narrowed his eyes, slowly opened his mouth and said, "Who told you that I was going to end?"

"What?" Harden was stunned when he heard this: "You have already committed five crimes, and you still have so long, why don't you end it?"

"Of course it won't end." Tang Qian stared straight at Harden, as if there were knives being polished in his pupils: "Because I'm going to teach you a lesson right away! I can't wait even a minute!"

"Your head coach won't let you go crazy." Harden felt that Tang Qian was unreasonable, so he had no interest in talking anymore. He turned around and stood on the Lakers' free throw line to prepare for a free throw. The free throw line has always been full of trash talk in the NBA.

The hardest hit area, as soon as you stand up, all kinds of trash talk will follow. Harden has played professional basketball for so many years, and he has already adapted to this. Sure enough, during the free throw period, the Lakers' substitution order came down

Now, Ryan Kelly replaced Tang Qian, who committed five fouls, and continued the game.

But at this moment, Tang Qian turned around and said something to Kelly, and then continued walking back to the edge of the penalty area, preparing to compete for rebounds.

What's going on???

People from the Rockets and Lakers were a little dizzy, but it was Ryan Kelly who came back and said:

"Sir, Fang said he doesn't want to come down yet. He wants to teach his opponent a lesson."

"What? Lesson? Doesn't he know that he made five mistakes?" D'Antoni suddenly said angrily: "Go back and replace him immediately!" Unexpectedly, Ryan Kelly hesitated and said: "That gentleman, I...

"

"What are you doing hesitantly? If you have something to say, say it!"

"Well, sir, he said that if anyone wants to replace him, he will show off to someone after the game. I, I..." Kelly looked like he was about to cry. Just kidding, who doesn't do that on the Lakers now?

You know the terrifying destructive power of No. 29. As soon as Ryan Kelly joined the Lakers this year, he heard countless "violent legends" about No. 29. In addition, he has witnessed many situations this season.

"Threat" really doesn't work.

Huh? Now it was D'Antoni's turn to be confused. He had never thought that No. 29 on the field would use such a move to "refuse to substitute" and "refuse to leave the game." This, is this considered a bit of a threat to his teammates?

Are you intimidating your teammates?

All of a sudden, time passed. By the time D'Antoni recovered, the game had restarted.

Harden made all 2 free throws. He scored a lot of points in this game just from free throws.

The Rockets continue to widen the score difference.

During the Lakers' offensive round, Nash saw Tang Qian actively asking for the ball. This was the first time this happened in the playoffs this season.

Give it? Nash made a quick judgment and passed the ball.

Because he has observed the game habits of No. 29, unless he thinks that his touch is coming and his offensive state is coming, he rarely takes the initiative to ask for the ball. Kobe also said this to him, and the view is similar. In this case

, why not take a gamble?

In fact, forcing shots for outside players is far inferior to forcing shots for inside players.
