Chapter 883 My greatest respect for you is to defeat you with all my strength
Compared to Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals on May 27, this time we returned to the Spurs' AT&T Center Arena, and the atmosphere was no longer relaxed and joyful. If San Antonio people thought a sweep was easy last time, now it has changed.
It became a little nervous and a little uneasy. After all, if they lose this game again, then the Spurs, who have no home court advantage, will go to the Lakers' home court for a "tiebreaker". No one is willing to do this.
Even if history is on their side, that's the same.
Who knows if there will be any "history destroyers"?
The starting lineups of both sides have been arranged. The Lakers still have Kobe + Meeks + Gasol + Nash + Don Qian. The Spurs have made a slight change and started with Duncan + Thiago Spry.
The lineup of Ted + Danny Green + Leonard + Parker. This is a very strong defensive lineup. The three players on the outside are all very defensive, and have both tactical defensive ability and IQ. Not to mention the inside, Duncan is
There is no doubt that Splitter is the facilitator, helping Duncan to block people and defend positions.
It seems that in this game, the Spurs want to play defense first and then defeat the Lakers.
But how do you know that this approach is still "a deviation in calculation" or "undercalculation".
The reason is...
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"This game should be pretty good to watch. The Lakers are now forced to the edge of the cliff, and the pressure on the Spurs is not as easy as in the previous games. So I think both sides will use their strength to fight. It depends on who has more strength."
"This game is the commentary of Yang Yi and Yu Jia. It seems that the higher-ups also feel that the "cooperation" between Yang Yi and Su Qun is a bit too "firey". After all, it is a game broadcast on China Sports Channel, so it is better not to cause any accidents.
That's good.
Compared with Yang Yi, Yu Jia's commentary ability is relatively weak, but he is doing things like Meteor Shower and Sun Zhenping. This can be regarded as making the best use of everything and making the best use of people. However, the top ten of the China Sports version he explained
Ball, that's still very good, they feel like they complement each other.
"Then who do you think has a greater chance of winning in this game?" Yu Jia said.
"Well." Yangyi started his unique commentary style again: "To be honest, I quite like the Lakers. After all, we have our own Chinese players in them. But let's be honest, the Spurs are too good this year.
Awesome, you thought that was all their strength in the regular season, but when they entered the playoffs, they told you, hey, I just started on the road and just stepped on the accelerator. Then..." Yang Yang paused habitually: "History
I am not on the side of the Lakers. Think about it, the NBA has a history of almost 70 years. How many teams have there been in these 70 years? Have you seen anyone who has done this? So,
It’s not that it’s impossible, it’s just that it’s very difficult, quite difficult.”
"Yes, according to history, the Lakers are still very difficult. But speaking of the Lakers' No. 29, he performed extremely well in the last game. He scored 45 points, 25 rebounds, and 7 blocks.
Data! This is double 20+ data. In this game alone, I feel that countless fans have been attracted by Tang Qian." After Yu Jia finished speaking, he said eloquently: "Tang Qian's ability is very strong, this is nothing.
There is no doubt. This season, one team, one defense + DPOY, I even think that in some aspects, he has surpassed the peak Howard. But," Yangyi began to "turn" and said: "This is rebounding and defensive end, offensive end
, Tang Qian's power is much inferior. I know many people will definitely say, didn't you see how Tang Qian beat Duncan in the last game? 45 points! Yes, 45 points is very strong. Without this 45 points, the Lakers would
You will definitely lose, but, but, I still want to pour cold water on you, Tang Qian’s performance in the last game was excellent, no problem, but it was not his true strength."
"For example, this year's regular season rookie Michael Carter-Williams scored a near-quadruple-double of 22 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists and 9 steals. He also led the team to defeat the Miami Big Three. But
Do you think he can still achieve this level? Play this kind of data? It's not that it's completely impossible, but the possibility is too small. Especially those 9 steals, which are almost 6 to 7 times the steals he averaged per game this season.
This is called extraordinary performance. Tang Qian is very good. I don’t know if you still remember. In the first round of the Lakers’ playoffs last year, he also scored 43 points, 29 rebounds, 9 blocks and 3 shots in Game 5.
Assists, 1 steal. What is the concept of this data? Basically, it is difficult for insider superstars to score. But except for this game? Tang Qian's scores in the other 6 games were 0 points, 5 points, 6 points, 7 points, 5 points and 17 points.
points. How much is the average? And after scoring 43 points in the fifth game, he only scored 5 points in the sixth game. So it’s not that Tang Qian is not good. In terms of defense and rebounding, he is the best in the league and even the entire NBA.
The strong men in history do not include scoring. James took four or five games off after scoring the highest score in his career."
There is no problem with Yang Yi saying this. He also takes into account the consumption of physical fitness and high scores on competitive status.
But... Tang Qian will surprise him tonight and make all "Tang Mi" have a collective climax.
The basketball kicked off and the Lakers got the ball without any surprise.
The ability to compete for the ball, whether it is Duncan or Thiago Split, is not on the same level as Tang Qian.
Do you think this is an exaggeration? It is absolutely no exaggeration.
Now that Peak Howard is here, we have to bow our heads and admit defeat in this project, and there is no chance of victory.
The Lakers attacked, spread out their formation, and the Spurs were ready. Unexpectedly, the Lakers' No. 29 started to stand inside and ask for the ball from the very beginning.
"Pass~come~give it to me~"
This guy! So crazy!!!
Tim! Guard him to death! Let him know how powerful you are!!!
Damn Dongfang guy! You are so arrogant! Do you think your offensive ability is that of your compatriot Yao???
The Internet in the United States was flooded with messages from Spurs fans, but these "mysterious powers of the West" had no impact on Tang Qian at all. Because tonight, the "inner demon" is worse than the last game
Even more "generous", only 10% of his competitive status was weakened. And 10%, this is the minimum value of the "inner demon" weakened. Therefore, when Tang Qian saw it, his mouth almost broke into a smile.
This means that "gods descending to earth" can basically exert 90% of their abilities.
At the same time, Tang Qian's feeling of being a little bit better after just starting to use "God Descends to Earth".
Tonight, he also made up his mind to continue "highlighting".
It is the "highlight" on the offensive end.
"Dongfang Tong started asking for the ball on the first ball of the Lakers' opening game? What did he want to do? Did he want to play Tim alone like in the last game?" Bill Rand, the Spurs' on-site commentator, said: "He
He is really young, energetic and full of energy."
"In this world, there is only one series in which Tim's defense has been continuously defeated, and that was in 2005, so he overestimated himself and underestimated Tim Duncan." Spurs
Another on-site commentator, Sean Elliott, said: "Tim will teach him how to behave in this game. It's easy to 'eat dumplings' in the NBA, but it's not easy to 'eat dumplings' continuously."
,young people."
Tang Qian turned around with the ball and faced the basket. After the team started to pull away, he looked at the man No. 21 in front of him and said, "Here I go again."
"Come." Duncan whispered dully, speaking concisely and concisely, without saying a word to Tang Qian.
"Okay." Tang Qian felt Duncan's attitude, and he also took a serious attitude and prepared to attack.
After a triple threat with the ball, there seemed to be a half-second pause, and then the Lakers' No. 29 kicked out.
coming.
Duncan relied on his own experience to predict the ball, and he still pushed the man and blocked the position, allowing Tang Qian to stay as far away from the basket as possible, without any space or space to get up. To be fair, Duncan's defense on this ball was already very good.
He is worthy of being an "old monster" who can maintain the second defense next year. But there is a big reason why Duncan does not suffer from defending these people is... the current insiders are all scum and noobs.
Maybe you disagree.
Looking at the inside scoring list this season, the highest scorer is Love, but his style of play is extremely outside. A person who plays the PF position has never hit 45% in his career. This is also a strange flower. In addition to that,
In addition, there is Griffin's 24+ points. This is also the highest scoring average in Griffin's 8-year career. Regardless of his high shooting percentage now, that is because he has basically partnered with Chris Paul throughout his career.
After leaving, his shooting percentage has reached a level close to "hell". It has dropped sharply again, dropped by 6 to 7 percentage points, and is still less than 45%. Next, there are Aldridge and Cousins.
I almost have the ability to average 22+ points per game. Then, there is no more. The playoffs are even more cruel, and there are not many inside players.
Even if there are space-type insiders, there are not many.
Therefore, Duncan's defensive pressure must be much easier than it was from the 1990s to the early 21st century.
At least there are no insiders who are close to super scorers.
But tonight, Duncan will face a stronger inside monster than the last game.
A monster on both offense and defense.
The low 45-degree position was inserted step by step, and then the competition was more about physical confrontation.
Duncan's defense was no problem, and he basically kept up with Tang Qian. Unfortunately, his jump speed was too slow for this ball. He directly faced Lakers No. 29 and went deep into the basket, forcing him to take off and dunk with one hand.
This feeling is that before Duncan is fully up, No. 29 on the opposite side has already flown to the highest point and slammed the basketball in his hand into the Spurs basket.
This year's Spurs' main style of play is to open up the three-pointer, adding a large number of off-ball cuts and ball transfers through conduction, and then try to ensure that everyone has a chance to take action. In terms of conduction, transfer, 13
The Spurs team in the -14 season is probably the strongest team in NBA history. No one.
However, the ball was not thrown in. It came out of position, but the shot missed.
It is a situation of "reasonable play but no goal".
The Lakers got the ball and dribbled it across half court... and they opened up inside again!!!
At this time, the Spurs' home court was a little depressing. Countless people shouted loudly for defense. In fact, they were mainly shouting at the inside, Tang Qian and Duncan. In basketball, man-to-man marking is the basic, in any game,
The ratio of man-to-man marking is the highest. Even if someone is as strong as Michael Jordan, he does not say that every game is double-teamed by several people from beginning to end.
That is unrealistic and is also the view of pseudo-fans who really don’t watch football and only rely on their imagination.
The most common situation is to start with man-to-man marking. If the opponent's scoring attack is within the tolerance range, no adjustment will be made. If it is really beyond the tolerance range, or it is a critical time to see the situation, then double-team defense will be implemented.
Class. Why? Because of double-teaming and zone defense, there will inevitably be spots where people are missed. Once there is a spot where people are missed, it is necessary to supplement defense and assist defense. Both supplementary defense and assist defense require the team's overall effort.
Defensive energy and overall defensive energy. The pressure on the defensive line rotation will also be greatly increased.
Keep doing it like this, keep stretching it like this, like a rubber band. If you stretch it for a long time, the enemy will not be defeated, and you will collapse first.
This is the real real game, the basic theory of real NBA defense.
If you can defend alone, who will resort to such stupid supplementary defense and assisting defense? It's almost crazy.
Tang Qian is holding the ball, facing the basket, and Duncan is standing at arm's length, with a serious and even serious expression.
Although I don’t really believe that the opponent will continue the offensive state of the last game, everything is possible. If it happens, then don’t take it seriously, no way. Duncan actually broke out early on this ball. It stands to reason that
It is a bit unreasonable. However, if the other party is also unreasonable, he can only follow suit.
Tang Qian made a probing step, and with a movement of his body, like a giant sword, he thrust into the Spurs' restricted area basket. Duncan blocked the position hard, and he wanted to block the former from the offensive area. But this was all
It's useless, because Tang Qian's current offensive ability has far exceeded Duncan's defensive ability, and the lower limit exceeds the upper limit by a lot. So...
Tang Qian made a hard breakthrough and succeeded in a strong attack at the basket.
The Spurs seemed to be a little cold on offense tonight, and Parker didn't hit the ball from mid-range. This situation will happen to any team. But tonight, it came at the wrong time.
The Lakers finally gave it to Kobe. Kobe held the ball and the Spurs' defense shifted, but unexpectedly... No. 24 of the Lakers also passed the ball. He directly lobbed the ball into the right inside line. The person receiving the ball,
It was none other than No. 29, Tang Qian.
In this way, the Lakers made a fact clear.
That is to say, one-on-one one-on-one attack on the insider, one-on-one one-on-one attack on Duncan.
The man who has won the All-Defensive Team more than a dozen times and is the absolute defensive cornerstone of the Spurs, Tim Duncan.
It sounds a bit "funny", but this is the reality right now.
It is absolutely impossible for Tang Qian to change his offensive intentions until the Spurs change their formation.
Duncan? I'm sorry, in this series, it's useless even if Olajuwon comes, he can't guard me.
Whoever comes, it will be the same.
Duncan saw the other person's eyes, and for some reason, he suddenly burst into unknown anger, because...he saw absolute confidence in the other person's eyes, absolute confidence. It was as if he was saying, this ball, the opposite side
It's impossible for people like me to defend me. Absolutely impossible.
It's not contempt or contempt, but this situation makes Duncan even more angry. After all... when has he ever been so "looked down on" by others? Yes, looked down upon, this is true looked down upon. He is the one who takes the most
A man who won the best defensive lineup, a man who even gave O'Neal, Olajuwon and Ewing a headache, would be treated like this by a "blue-collar player"?
"Hot, do you think I'm a defensive loophole?" Duncan suddenly said, and before Tang Qian could finish speaking, his defensive momentum suddenly increased. Duncan is also a human being. He is one of the top ten super giants in history.
He has never been treated like this a few times in his life. So it is normal for him to be angry, angry, and feel humiliated. It is not that he cannot accept being scored or beaten. He has been playing in this situation for almost 20 years and often
How could anyone stand by the river without getting his shoes wet? However, he couldn't accept being beaten and beaten one after another by an inside player, and even being treated as a defensive flaw of the Spurs.
If you want to use me in isolation to change the Spurs' defensive formation, you are really... quite capable.
hot!!!
Tang Qian was not surprised when he saw Duncan rushing into the "Defense Zone". As one of the top ten superstars in history and the soul of a team, Tim Duncan is considered old.
, it also has its own face, and it also has its own dignity. If you are constantly provoked and humiliated by others, you will explode, it is simply natural.
Because their proud hearts cannot accept this.
pity……
Tang Qian looked at Duncan and showed a smile. That smile was ruthless. It belonged to the ruthlessness of competitive sports, where the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. No one can remain the strong one forever. That's a novel, that's a movie, that's not competitive.
physical education.
Competitive sports have this process of alternation between old and new. Otherwise, how can a sport develop forward?
Jordan is strong enough, isn't he also being ravaged by countless young people in his last comeback?
At the end of his career, Chamberlain lost both his knees and lost the athletic energy he was once proud of. Didn't he have to accept being single-killed and scored high by the young super inside king Kareem Jabbar?
How did Kobe struggle at the end of time and space?
Even Duncan himself, at the age of 40, averaged "shit averages" that he had never thought about.
So, this is a necessary process.
Furthermore, if Tang Qian wants to keep moving forward in this alliance, continue to seize the future, and defeat the former old king, there is no way to avoid it.
Maybe one day, like Duncan now, he will fight for his dignity on the court.
This is the cruelty of competitive sports.
If you don't accept it, you can only accept it.
"Tim, you are the star I have always liked, so the greatest respect I have to do is..."
"I'll defeat you with all my strength."
Duncan looked at the oriental young man in front of him and gave a rare roar: "Then come and try."
"Come!!!"
"Come!!!"
As soon as Tang Qian sank, he moved towards the Spurs basket and attacked Spurs Tim Duncan.
