Chapter 851 The big chapter of assisting and attacking is sent~
"What should I do?" Tang Qian looked at Kobe and asked.
The current situation is unfavorable and the score is behind, so it makes no sense to talk nonsense.
"I need your support." Kobe said.
"Rebounds? Defensive end? I will try my best Bryant, you don't need to explain these things." Before Tang Qian could finish speaking, No. 24 interrupted and said: "No, no, no, not just
These." Kobe said: "I need more support."
"More?" Tang Qian was stunned and said a little confused.
"In addition to rebounding and defense, I also need your offense, offense, more offense!"
"Bryant, you, are you kidding? Are you sure? Me?" Tang Qian asked again and again with some uncertainty.
"Do you think I'm kidding?" Kobe didn't smile at all. Instead, he looked at Tang Qian more seriously: "If you want to defeat this Spurs team, I can't do it alone. The third grader who is guarding me
He is not a rookie. His single defense ability is extremely strong. Even I can't reach my expected state. Therefore, I, the Lakers, need new points to stand out." "But me?" Tang Qian
I felt a little abrupt, even a little unprepared: "Why not Paul? This aspect of him..."
"Paul was out of form tonight. Didn't you see that he played poorly throughout the series?"
"Bryant, everything else is easy to say, but this one, are you sure it's me? I don't have much confidence myself." Tang Qian was telling the truth, because the so-called "offense" means offense and offensive.
Kobe wants to attack by himself? Or the playoffs? Or the Spurs? Isn't this crazy? And if Paul doesn't play well, how can my offense be any better?
Because even in the regular season, Tang Qian's independent offense is extremely limited. Even if he starts to attack hard at the basket, it will only strengthen the original blank, and it does not mean that he is a reliable attacker and offensive point.
Judging from Kobe's meaning and those words, he completely wanted Tang Qian to temporarily shoulder the offensive responsibility of the Lakers.
At least one of them.
Isn't this something that is difficult for someone to do? You know, he is still in a state of competition that has been weakened by 25% due to the "inner demon".
On the defensive end, he activated "Demigod" and temporarily entered the "Defensive The.Zone". This is negligible. One man is the master, so the problem is not too big. But on the offensive end, he has nothing to do.
This is a state that has actually been weakened by 25%. It was not a very strong offensive state in the first place.
At this moment, Tang Qian felt even less confident.
This is not a lie. The Spurs' defense, especially the low-post defense, has always been the best in the league. Ever since Popovich coached, the inside has been their strong defensive area. Therefore, even O'Neal back then didn't
When you want to play against the Spurs, you get too many favors. Therefore, outside players will become more popular when playing against the Spurs.
"Tang, do you know why I didn't find Paul?" Kobe said when he saw Tang Qian was a little hesitant.
Tang Qian shook his head. After all, the pressure was so great that he did not have the confidence to bear it.
This is not a question of whether you have courage or not. It is equivalent to asking you to use your weakest point to compete with other people's strongest points. If you can still be confident, then there is a problem. Well, even if you can really do it
As for self-confidence, what about the result? What about the ending? This is not something that can be solved with full confidence and courage, right?
Now if Tang Qian is asked to be the main offensive point inside, he will most likely be guarded until he can no longer take care of himself.
Tang Qian was not without this self-awareness.
"Because now, we need a miracle." Kobe's words were not a joke at all: "I think you are more suitable for the word miracle than Paul."
When the timeout ended and the Lakers came back on the court, Kobe patted Tang Qian on the shoulder and then went to the backcourt to hold the ball. However, on the 24th, Tang Qian still felt "dizzy."
Miracle? Me? Offense? Can that be done?
In fact, he didn't know that Kobe had no choice. No matter how strong a person was, even if he scored 50 points or even 60 points, it would be difficult to win in the playoffs. His special opponent was San Antonio, which was good at team offense and defense.
The Spurs, that's even more so. You have to know that the playoff scoring record is 63 points, but they didn't win! The important thing is that they didn't win, okay?
This is true for Jordan. Even if Kobe scores 60 points, the Lakers still can't win.
This situation has become obvious by now. This Spurs team cannot be handled by one person.
Moreover, too much energy has been consumed in the past, and it is difficult for Kobe to ensure the best offensive efficiency at the last moment. Therefore, the top priority is to let other players step up and destroy the Spurs' perfect team defense. Otherwise, Kobe
Even if he plays hard by himself, Leonard, who is the main attacker, will have little effect on the Spurs' overall defense.
When two people break the situation, the best situation is that the inside and outside blossom and the inside and outside echo.
This has been tried and true in NBA history.
Kobe missed this shot, which is normal. No one can really maintain 100% shooting. In fact, in the playoffs, it is a luxury for an outside player to get 50% shooting. Especially Kobe.
A type that combines sudden shots. The proportion of direct attacks at the basket is not as good as that of players who focus on breakthroughs, so the shooting rate is not as good as the former ones, which is normal. In fact, if you look closely, except for this round, Kobe's shooting rate is very scary.
It's a pity that Nash was strongly targeted in this series, and the Spurs also have Leonard, a super perimeter defender, which caused No. 24's shooting percentage to drop a lot.
Otherwise, Kobe, who played without the ball at his peak, had sky-high efficiency.
This has been proven again in this year's playoffs.
But right now, Kobe Bryant alone is not enough, someone else needs to step up.
Kobe's choice was none other than No. 29, center Tang Qian.
"Rebound!!!"
Tang Qian jumped up high and grabbed the ball. Then he jumped on the spot and was about to attack again.
but……
"Oh~ What a pity~ Our Dongfang Hot offensive ability still needs to be honed~" the Spurs' on-site commentator couldn't help but joked. Because of this ball, Duncan of the Spurs interfered with it and directly shot a
Crossing the bridge, the basket was not touched.
Damn it! Tang Qian cursed in his heart, turned around and quickly returned to defense.
Not long after, he received another pass from Kobe. He wanted to jump up inside and hit hard, but... he was knocked down by Duncan of the Spurs. It was clean and crisp, and you couldn't find a trace of it.
Suspicion of foul play.
"Tang, I admire your defensive end and rebounding, but what about your offense~" After Duncan blocked the ball, he said with a blank smile on his face: "You still have a lot to do."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Tang Qian was a little annoyed, but what can be done? He really can't complete the inside attack now, and he can't break the Spurs' low defense. Roaring and venting, sometimes, can't help.
People bring something surreal, just like now.
Seeing that Tang Qian failed to score even after two shots, Kobe was also a little anxious. Although it was only the second quarter, the Lakers could no longer afford to lose. He started to play a few more singles on the next ball, but his hit rate was only
It can be said to be okay, but it has never exceeded 50%. This is already an unqualified singles shooting rate this season. Because on the 24th of this season, the regular season singles shooting rate exceeded 50%, reaching 50%.
Above 1. In other words, if Kobe's comprehensive shooting percentage in singles this season does not exceed 50%, then his performance is abnormal.
What's more, he has been thinking of ways to improve his offensive status.
This further illustrates that Leonard's defense is strong. After all, the Spurs' No. 2 has also entered the "Comprehensive The.Zone". This improvement in status is enough to show that his future potential is extraordinary.
A singles hit rate of less than 50% is already incredible, but for the game at this moment, it is still a bit insufficient.
That's why Kobe turned his attention to Tang Qian, hoping that the inside players could achieve a higher shooting percentage. However, the situation seemed a bit too optimistic. The Spurs' low-post defense was still so tight and would never let anyone
Easy goal.
Duang~ After scoring a few goals, Kobe scored 2 consecutive irons, and the Spurs quickly seized the opportunity to launch a defensive counterattack.
Brush ~ With the help of the screen, Leonard made a hit from mid-range.
Leonard's mid-range has been fully developed this season. Although there are still not too many back-up and pull-up shots, he has reached a very stable level in the open mid-range and the mid-range behind the screen.
superior.
In the regular season, the long-range basket shooting rate reached an incredible 48.7%! In the playoffs, it also reached a stable 48%!!!
This shooting rate has not been achieved by Nowitzki in several seasons. Of course, the mid-range lethality and difficulty of the two are different. It is like comparing an open shooter with an outside star, and the comparability is not high.
The former's 3-point shooting rate is around 40%, which is normal, but for the latter, more than 30% is enough. Because if you want the former to play the main offense, you probably won't be able to shoot 20% of the 3-pointers. And in NBA games, basically
From a high probability point of view, the easy balls in a game are limited, especially in the playoffs. We are not yet in the all-out attack era in a few years. The faster the tempo, the more easy balls there will be, and the transition between offense and defense will occur.
There will be more, so the best way is for the role players to share the easy balls, and the stars mainly play tough balls and non-opportunity balls.
At least this was the case from the 1990s to 2010.
To give a simple example, why do some stars have a strong sense of presence after watching a game, but in the end they only score 30 points. And some stars feel that there are not many highlights. When you look at the statistics at the end, they actually have 30 points.
This is why.
In short, the sense of existence of easy.ball is far inferior to that of offensive and non-opportunity balls. In fact, if you have watched the ball for a long time, you will at least have a vague feeling. Therefore, the defense has been lost after using open shots and screens.
Comparing shooting percentages with attackers' shots from different positions is definitely the behavior of super ball blinders and pseudo-fans.
The difficulty of defense is completely different from the difficulty of offense. What can be compared?
You say it’s a matter of basketball IQ? Come on, the easy balls in a game are limited. You are a star and you have shot all the easy balls. Do you want role players to attack tough situations and play non-opportunity balls? This kind of behavior is the real
It's selfish.
But even so, Leonard's long-range shooting percentage this season has reached 48% in both the regular season and the playoffs, which is extremely scary. Basically, it is as blind as if you let it go.
What's interesting is that just last season, his shooting percentage from 10-16 feet in the playoffs was still up to 40%. From 16-23 feet, which is the mid-to-long range, his shooting percentage was only over 20%. In one season.
The improvement is so big that it is staggering.
This is also the reason why Leonard is expected to become a new generation of offensive and defensive super giant in the future.
After all, in the future, integrating offense and defense will already be a very luxurious thing. Most stars can only take care of both offense and defense. So Leonard is a rare anomaly. His growth rate and potential are also
A major key to Popovich's decision to support and support.
Tang Qian was anxious when he saw this, but the Lakers' overall defensive enthusiasm was gone, and because Kobe had controlled an excessive number of shots and ball rights since the second quarter, most of the Lakers players were unable to attack on the offensive end.
It was a back-and-forth run, and I didn’t even touch the side of the basketball. It’s natural that my concentration and investment in the game dropped.
Originally trailing 0-3, he was a bit uninterested in the game. Now he basically can't touch the basketball, which has led to a further decline in defensive enthusiasm. It would be strange if Tang Qian could handle this situation alone.
Even if you are playing a 2k game, if your teammates are all pig teammates and your defense is not good at all, then even if you score 100 points in a game, you will eventually lose.
Only in some mindless novels, you may feel that the protagonist can attack and defend alone, and he can defy the odds by himself.
Well, once again, basketball is essentially a team sport.
It has never been a solo sport.
In this way, if the Lakers want to make a comeback, no, even if they just want to win one game tonight, that is all a luxury.
Difficult, difficult, difficult.
Difficult, difficult, difficult!
No, you, you must do something! Otherwise, this year’s playoffs will really be over!
What to do??? What to do??? No matter what!!! Attack first and then talk!!!
Even if we don’t score, we have to kill the Spurs’ inside line! We also have to make some changes!!!
Thinking of this, Tang Qian realized his responsibilities more clearly. He is also a member of the Lakers, and he is also a star of the Lakers! How can the offensive end not play any role at the critical moment???
Me, I am also an all-star player with a first-team defense and DOPY this season.
Do you really not treat me like a dish???
After Kobe made one shot, he missed another. The ball bounced high in the Spurs' interior, waiting for someone to grab it.
Who? Of course, it’s me! It’s me, Tang Qian!!!
Besides me, who else on the Lakers team can do it???
This is my performance time!!!
Seeing the Lakers' No. 29 trying to squeeze in to grab the rebound, the Spurs' inside players immediately began to block the position, preventing Tang Qian from easily getting into the rebounding position. After all, they had already mastered this Oriental's rebounding skills.
I have learned this lesson deeply, it is too powerful. It is basically impossible for one person to resist it. So now the Spurs have one person who is mainly responsible for blocking No. 29, and the other person grabs rebounds.
The person standing in front of Tang Qian now is Brazilian Thiago Split. He is also 211cm tall, but he is not tonnage enough. He is only about 250 pounds, which is about ten pounds lighter than Tang Qian. Furthermore, his
His athletic ability and mobility are not on the same level as Tang Qian. If he were to fight alone, I can only say that Tang Qian would make him forget how to write the word rebound.
Whether it's defensive rebounds or offensive rebounds.
However, the Brazilian is also very self-aware, so he is just supporting people and blocking positions. The things he is doing now are similar to what Sacre and Tang Qian of the Lakers did when he came on the field. They are completely sacrifices and human shields.
However, his position was quickly broken by Tang Qian, and instead he was pinned down by the latter.
But this bit of victory is not worth making Tang Qian blink. His goal is not to break Thiago Split's blocking position, but to grab this offensive rebound is what he really wants.
Things to do.
Therefore, he now has to compete with the Spurs No. 21, Tim Duncan, for rebounds.
Duncan has the talent of "fixing rebounds", which means that no matter how strong the opponent's rebounding ability is, they can grab almost the same number of rebounds per game. This talent has also allowed Duncan to consistently rebound in so many years of inside confrontations.
The ball never suffered a loss. Even against various super insiders, it was the same. Rodman never took any advantage in his hands.
But Tang Qian has now blessed the demigod, and his rebounding can be improved again. Even if his competitive state is weakened by 25%, he will not be afraid of the "rebounding talent" of 38-year-old Duncan. Duncan is really stable in rebounding.
The 39-year-old actually has 11+ rebounds in the playoffs. This seems to be a monster of stability.
Duncan was not too surprised to see that it was Thiago's top man who broke through. The physical condition and rebounding ability of the two were so different that it was normal. However, don't think that I am that easy to deal with.
Duncan actually exploded on the rebounding end, and he immediately withstood Tang Qian, preventing the latter from entering the rebounding position he had already occupied. And because it was a defensive rebound, the defensive end was naturally in the right place at the right time. In addition,
Duncan's "fixed rebounding" talent is enough to withstand the "demigod" who was weakened by 25% by the "inner demon".
What to do at this time? Tang Qian has no intention of giving up. Rebounding is also his strong area, isn't it?
Duncan? So what??? This rebound is still mine!!! I will also get you!!!
The moment the rebound fell, Duncan felt his body blur in front of him. When he looked again, it was a purple and gold No. 29 standing in front of him! He actually broke his blocking position again? He even got stuck again.
Bit successful???This guy...
Tang Qian jumped up high and grabbed the defensive rebound. He felt that he still had some strength left in the air, so he simply...
He directly took the basketball in his hand and smashed it into the Spurs' basket with one hand.
boom!
The Lakers score 2 points!
This guy actually rebounded into "The.Zone"? Is his blue-collar talent really that good?
He won't really become the next blue-collar superstar, will he???
Duncan didn't know that this was still a 25% competitive state weakened by "Inner Demon". If not, the ability of "demigod coming to earth" alone would be enough for Tang Qian to ignore the former's "fixed rebounding" talent. In this way, it is still the Spurs.
The team took advantage of it.
On the offensive end, the Spurs also missed shots. Well, it's not that the Lakers' defense was so good, they just simply missed shots.
To put it bluntly, it is impossible to score every ball that comes out, so it misses.
This is just a matter of probability and has nothing to do with the Lakers' defense.
Tang Qian grabbed the rebound. As long as the defensive rebound fell within his effective competition range, he basically wouldn't miss it. It wouldn't be easy for anyone to use it.
Moreover, his "defense and rebounding" have now entered "The.Zone", and the negative impact of "inner demons" basically cannot affect these two aspects. So, this is really not a lie. Even Chamberlain and Russell
Now that Serge is here in person, it would be too much if he wants to compete with Tang Qian for defensive rebounds.
Unless they're a team and they're also defensive rebounders, that's pretty much it.
The Spurs don't have this idea either. If they lose low-post defensive rebounds, they just lose them. They can just do their own defensive rebounding. With the Lakers' fighting power at the moment, the overall threat is too small.
The basketball was still given to Kobe. Kobe made a breakthrough and pulled back to shoot. After deceiving Leonard's defensive focus, he kicked off the ground with his back foot and broke through the latter with a quick stride. What he could do in front of Kobe this season was just that.
This is the first time so far for a 3-year-old rookie from the Spurs to be deceived into using a fake move to divert the defensive focus instead of completely taking off.
It is conceivable to what extent Leonard will grow after playing with the Lakers this season.
Maybe the future defense will be stronger than that of the original time and space.
He is now like a sponge, frantically absorbing the offensive experience of his opponents, and then constantly improving and evolving himself.
He has the potential to become a super giant in the future.
And it is a super giant that combines offense and defense.
But the Spurs played this ball very skillfully. Duncan and Kobe had too many playoff games. They fought from youth to old age, and they continued to fight. In the process, some of each other's offensive methods and habits,
Generally speaking, he touched a lot. So Duncan decisively adopted the defensive method of encircling the penalty area. The moment Kobe entered the low post, the Spurs suddenly surrounded 3 people. This made No. 24's shot immediately difficult.
Kobe has an old personality problem, which Duncan took advantage of. Once his teammates are not doing their best, No. 24 will definitely not choose to pass the ball. Even if his teammates are open, he will not
pass.
It's either that he doesn't have the ability, or he just doesn't have the intention anymore. He only has eyes for the basket.
"Kobe's shot~missed~are the Lakers ready to cry and leave the AT&T Center?" the Spurs' on-site commentator said, which brought many responses and laughter from the scene.
This is an away game, which is not surprising at all. In fact, it is strange that these things are not there.
"Keep an eye on No. 29! He's in!" Parker on the outside reminded him immediately after seeing it, but it was still too late. Tang Qian took advantage of the three Spurs to double-team Kobe and took advantage of the opportunity.
He caught the ball. This is another special skill of Kobe, called "assist". This was originally a term invented by a sunspot, but later NBA statistics in this area really appeared.
According to statistics, the league's "assist rate" is 25%, Kobe's is 33%, and when the attack is within the mid-range, Kobe's assist rate jumps to 52%!!! What does this mean???
The Lakers have a great chance to organize an offense in 24 seconds or directly attack twice!!! And 34% of the "assists" become points!!!
Taking a closer look, another 15% of them will be immediately converted into direct tip-ins or tip-ups, which are far more than the league.
Do you think this data is "dark"? In fact, it's just the opposite. The stronger the offensive ability and the ability to attract defensive players, the greater the ability to assist the board! For example, let's take a record that everyone doesn't know very well. From 1996 to 2017, in the past 20 years
Who averages the most assists per game? Not Kobe, but the famous Michael Jordan, averaging 3.3 assists per game.
But Jordan's assist rate is still not as good as Kobe's.
This is because the Black Mamba is the kind of person who plays extremely irrationally.
And the more this happens, the easier it is for the opponent's defensive formation to be torn apart and attracted, resulting in a void of defense for inside players.
But the premise is that you must have sufficient personal ability, otherwise the devil will not bother to care about you.
So "assist" is not a shameful thing at all. Look at these people, they are all recognized as the kings of attack in the league. Don't you even look down on Qiao Shen? He is the king of assists per game.
Kobe is the king in assist rate per game.
Sure enough, the first and second percentiles are in the same vein.
Tang Qian was about to take a direct shot like the previous one. At this time, Duncan's role was reflected. He used his experience and his natural sense of defensive position and space under the basket to make Tang Qian want to take a shot.
, he was suddenly in front of Lakers No. 29. This forced Tang Qian to stop attacking directly, and lost a good opportunity to take advantage of Kobe's missed shot and "score with an assist."
"In this case, once is enough. Don't think too much about doing it again." Duncan saw that Tang Qian failed to make a tip-in and quickly stepped closer. This was to defend No. 29's second attack under the basket.
.
Is this ball passed out? Kobe has just landed and is still in the crowd. He can't move out of position for a while and passes it to others?
With their current mentality and energy? So, I don’t have many choices, I have to do it myself.
If he wants to score under Duncan's defense, the only thing Tang Qian can rely on now is to attack hard at the basket.
Relying on his physical hardware and physical fitness, he forcibly broke through Old Duncan's defense and then scored.
Duncan seemed to see what Tang Qian meant. He immediately defended and said:
"Hey~ Come on~ Hot~ Defeat me~ The future is yours~"
