Chapter 963 The road to the first center has set sail. The chapter is completed~(1/2)
"I'm a minion? Dongfang Hot! Don't forget! You are also a blue-collar player, and you are not the five strongest centers in the league ranked by ESPN at the beginning of the season! Neither are you!" Jordan wanted to spit back,
But I heard Tang Qian say slowly and leisurely: "Am I right? Because I am the strongest, ESPN is not qualified to rank me. I will kill these people one by one, just like I killed Dwight in the first game."
Same as Howard. As for blue collar... Hehe." Tang Qian laughed, looked at DeAndre Jordan and said: "Do you think I will always be a blue collar? I am not you, my blue collar, last season, it was over.
.”
"Is this the end of blue-collar work? Just you?" Jordan is very aware of Tang Qian's offensive level in the past few years. He averaged about 2.9 points per game in the first season, 4.9 points in the second season, and 12.2 points in the third season.
.Although it is basically improving year by year, and last year it increased by almost 2 to 3 times, there is an upper limit to this growth. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary players to grow without limit like killing monsters and upgrading. For example, he himself
, reaching the offensive bottleneck, averaging 15+ points per game has basically become a dream. Under normal circumstances, averaging 13+ points per game is difficult to achieve. So he doesn't think Tang Qian has improved so much, and
The offensive potential can be deeply explored. Historically, there have been too few people who can go all the way, whether it is scoring, rebounding or assisting. People have their upper limit, right?
The Lakers' No. 29 is already so good at blocking rebounds and shots. There is no reason to give him such a terrible scoring ability. That would be too unfair.
However, is there anything absolutely fair in this world?
Jordan was still a short man in high school, at least over 180, which was not enough to play basketball in the United States. Who would have thought that he would grow so much later? You have to know that their family does not have such a tall gene. The same goes for it.
There is Rodman, who was only 175cm after graduating from high school! This height and age are basically stereotyped. Who knew that in the next two years, this guy would soar to more than 2 meters! Isn’t this talent? And
Those who came into contact with basketball very late, but they grew up faster than those who started playing at a young age? What is this if not talent? James' body is one of the ultimate specimens of the outside world, so what is this if not talent?
So, don't think about these useless rules and regulations, they are all used to imprison ordinary people.
True genius is never constrained by such things.
Obviously Tang Qian was not this type of person before, but since his rebirth, he has become this type of person.
The upper limit of his talent is terrifyingly high.
How can you possibly think of someone like Jordan? Besides, how many years has it been since the league has produced a true offensive and defensive center?
You will know what level of players the centers have been in these years.
In the previous NBA, you couldn't get any bullshit honors.
"Yes, just rely on me, you will feel it." After Tang Qian finished speaking, he jumped up high, one step ahead of Jordan, and took the basketball away.
The Lakers attack first.
The whole game is fast pushing and smooth play. This is also a highlight of D'Antoni's system, which is extremely entertaining to watch.
In the first quarter, the Lakers and Clippers bombed wildly, scoring 36 points on one side and 35 points on the other. Because the transition of rounds was too fast, many of the balls had no time for Tang Qian to run back to the backcourt. But it doesn't matter, De
Anthony's initial strategy for them was to use offense first to stimulate the team's overall state, and then increase defensive pressure in the second half to annihilate the opponent in one go.
This is a philosophy of D'Antoni's way. If you have read his famous book "Seven Seconds or Less", you will know that D'Antoni has always believed that the best way to activate players is to attack. As long as the offense is
Only after you open it can you talk about other things.
And the Lakers are not without defense. This team's individual defense ability is very good, at least far better than the Phoenix Suns he coached back then. So D'Antoni spent the first half to practice the team's state.
Only in the second half will the defense be strengthened, the pace appropriately slowed down, and the game taken away in one wave.
This strategy was very effective in the first two games, but Rivers, the head coach of the Clippers, is not a weak coach. He is much better than McHale and Jeff Hornacek. In addition, the Clippers still have
Chris Paul, the nominal "high-level data king at the No. 1 position", quickly made changes. Paul was needed to suppress the Lakers' offensive starting point, which was Los Angeles' No. 1 position, Jeremy Lin.
Jeremy Lin played well in these two games. After returning to D'Antoni's system, he has indeed found some of the "Linsanity" feeling of the past. But facing Paul, unless he breaks out into the "Linsanity" state again, he will
This is a game where both offense and defense are crushed.
Paul's defense doesn't need to be emphasized any more. Even though he is 183cm tall, he has always been on the best defensive team and is still in the first team. And the continuity is really high. Starting in 2007, he basically "nailed" every one-defense team.
Quota. For players of his height, there are really few players in history who can defend to this level. The combination of offense and defense, Chris Paul, is absolutely OK.
Absolutely a big shot at the No. 1 position.
When Jeremy Lin faces off, it is normal to suffer losses.
In addition, Tang Qian was resting off the court during this period, which made the Clippers attack even more unscrupulously.
Several consecutive mistakes allowed the Clippers to widen the score difference to double digits.
Jeremy Lin has played very hard, but the limitations of his abilities and the gap in ability are not so easy to make up for.
Besides, isn't it as embarrassing as Chris Paul? No! How many No. 1 positions in history have dared to pat their chests and say that they can definitely kill Chris Paul? Isn't that nonsense? Plus, they are also No. 1
Paul was extremely accurate in predicting Jeremy Lin's next move. Several times, you could see it as if Jeremy Lin had just dribbled the ball into his hands.
In terms of offensive power and flow, the Clippers in the past few seasons are also not bad.
In the live broadcast room of ESPN 2, Jay Williams took the lead in saying that he believed the Lakers' victory would end here.
D'Antoni's system relies heavily on players with the attributes of the No. 1 position, so Jeremy Lin was contained by Chris Paul, which meant that the entire team's offense fell into a certain amount of turmoil and stagnation. In the fast track,
After the Crew scored another goal, the Lakers called a timeout.
Suddenly, Jeremy Lin seemed a little downcast. His strength was not as good as Tang Qian's, and his mentality was naturally not as good as Tang Qian's. He was easily influenced and influenced by the outside world. Paul's strength was beyond his imagination. If he didn't break out of Lin's
The crazy state is basically a "delivery". This is not an exaggeration. The 29-year-old Paul completely suppressed Jeremy Lin.
He alone cut off the Lakers' overall operation and team contact.
This ability is really extraordinary, but the "fate" is too miserable, and I can't always touch the floor tiles of the Western Conference Finals.
But D'Antoni didn't intend to let Jeremy Lin come down. He asked Tang Qian to come back on the court, and then go to the high post to help with pick-and-rolls. During this period, as long as Jeremy Lin could dribble steadily through the half, he would have a chance to crack Chris Paul's game.
Individual defense line.
High pick-and-rolls will quickly test the consciousness and ability of the big man inside. If the block is not good, it may be counterproductive.
But Tang Qian agreed in one breath. After he came back on the field, he patted Jeremy Lin on the shoulder and said: "Don't think too much, everyone has bad performance sometimes. You can come to my side later and I will help you."
Stop Chris Paul." Jeremy Lin nodded. He had no choice. At this point, he could only agree if he didn't agree. After all, he alone could not solve this problem.
Can't solve Chris Paul's defense.
Therefore, the pick-and-roll breakthrough is almost the only and simplest solution.
Sure enough, Tang Qian blocked Paul immediately. Jeremy Lin took the opportunity to break in and caused a defensive foul on the Clippers. He made 2 of 2 free throws from the free throw line. But when he turned around, Chris Paul was right in front of Jeremy Lin.
One was thrown into his head. He has such a character. If he doesn't throw, he will shoot. Once he throws, it will be a life-threatening arrow. He rarely misses the mark.
After the shot, Paul said to Jeremy Lin: "You are still far behind me."
"Don't worry, just keep playing. His continuous scoring ability is not good. Don't be disturbed." Tang Qian walked past Jeremy Lin and said, but he still underestimated the "little guy" Chris Paul.
.Because he actually predicted his pick-and-roll time and position in advance, and then he avoided this place and passed directly by Tang Qian.
Jeremy Lin made a sudden pass but Paul caught up and intercepted it, and the Clippers gained the right to attack.
Jeremy Lin wanted to fight back and ran all over the court to follow Paul, but Paul couldn't compete with the former in terms of straight-line speed. He was the master of rhythm in the No. 1 position, so he easily broke away from Jeremy Lin's entanglement with an emergency stop.
Then he shot an 18-foot mid-range shot, and the basketball accurately hit the net and penetrated the Lakers' net.
In fact, to be honest, although the Clippers' offensive model is not "small ball all the way", "run and gun all the way" or "seven seconds or less", it is still fully controlled by their No. 1 position, that is, Chris Paul.
Control the overall situation. To put it simply, if Jeremy Lin can suppress Paul the way he suppresses himself, then the Los Angeles Clippers will also suffer a huge loss in offensive and defensive capabilities, and the overall discount will be a huge discount. Unfortunately, let alone Jeremy Lin,
There are only a few people who can achieve the No. 1 position in the league.
Therefore, if you want to use the same method to disrupt the Clippers' team rhythm, it will not work.
What to do? It's very simple, just make a breakthrough from somewhere else.
In the past, the Lakers just handed the ball to No. 24 at this time, but now? Tang Qian raised his hand to ask for the ball.
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"Tang Qian wanted the ball, and Jeremy Lin passed the ball to him. Tang Qian turned around and faced the basket. Is this going to be a one-on-one game facing the basket?" Meteor Rain said: "I don't know.
Director Zhang, what do you think this shot has a chance of winning?" Zhang Weiping didn't hesitate and opened his mouth and said: "It's hard to say. Although Tang Qian performed well offensively in the first two games, the first game was against the Rockets. According to the data,
, Tang Qian has always played very well when facing Howard, similar to Yao Yao, he has a little restraint on Dwight Howard. As for the second game, the Suns did not have any decent inside man, and center Miles Pula was the leader.
Mli is basically a big mess, he is good but not useful, and his per-game statistics are not very good. It doesn't take much effort for Tang Qian to deal with him. But look at the Clippers, they have Griffin inside.
With DeAndre Jordan, this inside combination, let alone anything else, is one of the best in the league in terms of athletic ability. Tang Qian has to face the basket and play in singles with the ball, which may not be as easy as the previous two games." But the words did not finish.
, Tang Qian scored one, and Jordan didn't even react to his skills and movements.
He, his breakthrough is so fast? It doesn’t seem like this before, right? The sense of rhythm and technical connection are a bit different.
The Clippers shot a three-pointer, but missed. The rebound bounced high under the Lakers' basket.
"Get rebounds!" Voices came from all directions in the court, and the inside line suddenly became a battlefield of hand-to-hand combat.
Jordan's training in the offseason was really not in vain. His blocking skills and body have made great progress compared to last season. If Tang Qian comes in the 12-13 season, he really is no match for him.
His average rebounding ability of 15+ is astonishing enough in the NBA. Even if you look at the entire NBA historical rebounding list, he can barely rank high.
No wonder he is so confident, he is much better than last season.
It's a pity that you are doomed to be unlucky when you meet me now.
Jordan's weight has increased to between 278 and 282 pounds this season. He can be considered a barely heavy center. In this era of declining interior lines, this tonnage is enough. But Tang Qian has increased his weight to around 291 pounds this season.
In this way, if you still want to use the tonnage to make a fuss, that is already a fantasy. No matter how little Jordan fought behind him, Tang Qian was as stable as a rock, and finally protected the defensive rebound with one hand.
After getting the rebound, he did not forget to "hit and hit" Jordan said: "You are like this, and you still want to be the rebounding champion? You touch your head and see if you are still dreaming about it."
