Chapter 1059 There are victories and losses, bumping forward

After readjusting the overall team status, it is true that the overall operation of the team is much better.D'Antoni's offense, there is nothing to say, if you don't admit it, then you must be blackmailing him.Compared with offense in the league, few people in history can just beat him.This is the foundation of his foothold in the NBA.So after the Lakers started to play against the Thunder, the situation slowly changed. About 7 minutes into the fourth quarter, the Thunder's problem came.

A wave of consecutive mistakes ruined them.

It's strange to say, the Thunder players have been working together for so long, why is the turnover rate still so high?Drop the chain at a critical moment?This is an unsolved question.Many teams use this to grind against the Thunder until the end, and when they make a mistake, they can fight back and win a wave.Among them, the Spurs were the first veterans to use this trick to beat the Thunder. The Thunder suffered such old losses on the Spurs.

This is the difference between Westbrook and the real No. 1 master. His ability to assist and pass the ball is not weak, it can even be said to be very strong, but the responsibility of the No. 1 position is not only this, connect the team, control the scene, and master the rhythm , Offensive and defensive command, this is what a real No. 1 master should do.At the same time, controlling mistakes is also a very important aspect, and the ratio of mistakes is especially critical.

Especially the turnover ratio at critical moments, this is too important.

If you make a few mistakes at a critical moment, the morale of the team will be taken down all at once.

In this regard, at the critical moment, you can check the data and you will know that the Lakers' No. 24 is too perverted, and they have to play a wave. In the last 5 minutes, 24 minutes, No. 4.75's control assists and mistakes are all perverted levels.What is metamorphosis?The turnover ratio is 1.2!What concept?4 times stronger than James's 0.93!It is nearly 5 times stronger than Wade's 0.67!How much better than Durant 6.8? 0.17 times!27.941 times stronger than Westbrook... [-] times! ! !Do you think this is the regular season data? NONONO, this is the divisional finals + finals of the playoffs.So you have also seen this statistic. It's not that LeBron James is not strong, but Kobe's statistic is too strong, so strong that it is against the sky.

What?You said that there are too few samples in the conference finals + finals... Well, let’s play to the limit. In the last 2 minutes of the playoffs, Kobe is within 3 points. This is critical enough. It’s still the entire playoffs, Lakers Team No. 24's data is also as high as 4.2 times.Seriously, for such a reliable person, who do you not give him the ball at the critical moment?
You don't really think that he made the top ten in history by relying on blacksmithing.

First of all, he ensured that there are very few passing mistakes.

You say this is because Kobe passed the ball less at critical moments?Uh, then it's time to educate and popularize science again.

Kobe's critical moment in the entire playoffs is the NBA's official setting of the last 5 minutes behind 5 points. The 48-minute assist data is far higher than Durant, Curry, Westbrook, and only lower than James.If it comes to the more critical last 2 minutes, within 3 points of the difference, Kobe's assists are basically the same as James.If it's the finals... I know you want to ask this, very good, very good, don't count 48 minutes, it's too humiliating, the data gap is too big, it looks fake.It depends on the team's assist data in the last 2 minutes by 3 points and 36 minutes.Can be optimistic, Bryant's assists are 36 times in 7.5 minutes, James only 3.7 times.

This is unscientific. The more critical games Kobe gets to, the more reasonable he is. The data tells you that it is true. There is nothing wrong with rationality.

Looking at it this way, you know how terrifying Kobe's assist-to-turnover ratio is.

And Westbrook... Everyone has also read the data, and I don't know how many times he was hanged by Kobe.

So the Thunder team lost the chain at a critical moment, and he has to bear a lot of responsibility.

At the critical moment of the playoffs, Kobe's assist-to-turnover ratio was more than 20 times worse. Can the Thunder not capsize?

So tonight, it's the same. The Thunder made 4 turnovers at the critical moment, and Westbrook accounted for half of them. Thunder.In the end, 9-0, 122 points won the final victory.The Lakers' team record has also improved to 118 wins and 4 losses, and they are still catching up with the Golden State Warriors, the number one in the West and the number one in the league.

In this game, Westbrook still scored 30 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists and 4 steals. Of course, his 7 personal turnovers are also quite eye-catching.However, this feeling of "crazy stats" still poisoned Westbrook. He watched Tang Qian and hugged him after the game and said, "Next time we meet, he will win 4 pairs." Tang Qian was speechless when he heard that. Ma, you have become a super data control?But high data is really cool, and Tang Qian himself does not deny this. Besides, how many of the great gods in history have bad data?How many are not data controllers?

Including Tang Qian himself, if he can balance data and victory, he is also very willing to ask for data.

Because the victory is good, but the data is also good, but it is double cool.

It feels much more refreshing than a simple victory with average statistics.

But, this game also exposed a lot of problems. The Lakers are no longer the dark horse at the beginning of the season. They have led the record rankings for so long, and they have already been researched and targeted.For example, this is what the coaching staff of many teams pays attention to deliberately.If the team's No. 5 position can make long-range shots or even three-pointers, the effect may be more suitable for the Lakers than the No. 4 position with this ability.

Their defensive system cannot sustain such frequent dislocations and defense changes.

This is an absolute breaking point.

Sure enough, in the game on March 3, when facing the Minnesota Timberwolves, there was a problem.

Although their starting center and starting power forward are both people without a basket, but...they have someone on the bench.As the veteran coach of the Timberwolves, Philip Sanders has played more than 1200 regular season games, and he still has this vision.So he knew that under normal circumstances, the Timberwolves would be blown up by the opponent without any power to fight back, so he boldly gave it a go and made a big change. He spent more time with the 5th position on the bench. Justin Hamilton stood on the court, and Budinger was paired with Budinger at the 4th position to form a team of one big and four small.The lineup of Andrew Wiggins + Zach LaVine + Sean Gilpatrick + Chase Budinger + Justin Hamilton and the Lakers.

In the first half, no gap was seen. The Lakers were also playing against the opponent. It is normal to lead 35-25 by 10 points in the first quarter.In the second quarter, we lost a little more points. Tang Qian was absent for most of this period, which is also a large-scale time for D'Antoni to lose points.But after Tang Qian came up, he immediately re-established his offensive and defensive advantages inside. Our Canadian No. 180 pick is young and has excellent physical fitness, so he has a strong desire to perform. There came a [-]-degree turn and dunk, which won a lot of applause from his own home court.

This also made him a little dizzy. Looking at a good opportunity, he broke through and missed the defender Wesley Johnson, so as soon as he rushed in, he pulled up with one leg and was about to fly high and smash the basket for a dunk.This person's physical fitness is also really good. In the draft last year, he was praised to such an extent that it is rare in the world.But Tang Qian didn't think that he would have much promise in the past few years.The first is his personality, which seems to be good and not restrained, but at critical moments, he is not willing to take the initiative to stand up at all.This does not mean that he stood up after the game and yelled that he did not have the ball. It is just watching the game. His desire in this aspect is not too strong.This is likely to become an obstacle that restricts him from stepping towards a higher sky.Secondly, his emotional intelligence is very problematic.In the future, he did something that was cast aside by all agents.Before signing the contract, he temporarily fired his agent.why?It's not because of $1.48 million, he wants to save the 2-5% broker commission.It doesn't seem like much, but in a big contract of hundreds of millions, it can reach up to $7400000.This little money is still drawn from his after-tax salary, of course he will feel a little heartache.However, money is saved, and you have offended the entire brokerage industry.For future operations, if you want to do it yourself, what is that if it’s not nonsense?Besides, this guy is still a "big thunder but little rain" player, at least for now.It’s okay to be a star player, but to be a superstar or even a super giant is a bit overthinking.

You have no defense, and you have absolutely no intention of improving your defense. You are a person whose offensive ceiling is not that high. In 2018, your defense still has a negative contribution per 1.49 rounds, -443, 90rd in the league, and 83th among small forwards. [-] defense.Such a defensive attitude has not made much progress in a few years, who can be blamed?His physical talent is there. In the case of not many shots, he should have enough physical fitness to be responsible for the defensive end.The truth is, he doesn't even bother to think about it.

For example, this kind of person is something that Tang Qian absolutely does not want to recruit. You have to know that in the "Season Alternative Awards" selected by ESPN, Wiggins was elected as the player with the worst defensive efficiency.Not much to say about profound analysis and long articles, a simple statistic, even if you don't watch basketball at all, you can calculate it.Players have an effective field goal percentage of 56.4 percent across the NBA when no defense is in place.Uh-huh, remember this number, and look at our opponent's effective field goal percentage when Wiggins is defending?Well, 56.1%.That is to say, when he defends, the opponent is the same as shooting from an open spot.

It's so bad, it's so bad.

So tonight, his defenders scored a lot of points in the first half, which made the head coach of the Timberwolves shake his head wildly in his heart.Your Wiggins offensive ceiling is currently limited, and your defense is a super black hole. The future trend of the league is still the giant combination model. Do you still want to be the boss?It would be nice not to let you be the third child on the team.

Second child, you can't even keep it. (Don't think too much, there is no ambiguity, it's just a simple second master, hehe.)
Tang Qian jumped up and gave the Canadian No. [-] scholar a big solid hot pot, almost slapping the latter down.

Looking at the stumbling Wiggins, Tang Qian ran past him and said, "Sophomores, be more polite to seniors."

"And dunking casually in front of me is easy to sprain your ankle."

What makes Tang Qian not so optimistic about him the most is his spirit. It is not that people who have no defense have not become superstars, but if you have no spirit, then there is no salvation.If the ball is replaced by another young man with a heart, he must be clenching his teeth, holding his breath and wanting to hit it back next time to let the opponent know how good he is.But this guy didn't get into the inside line very much at the beginning, and even started to avoid the inside line a little bit.In addition, his desire to protect rebounds is weak, and when the offensive end is not strong, Philip Sanders of the Timberwolves doesn't know what else he can do on the court.

With your physical fitness, height and wingspan, you don't even compete for rebounds, and you average 3+ rebounds per game. Are you embarrassed?

A guard of other people has a higher rebounding figure than this.Besides, the Timberwolves are not a slow-paced team. With such poor rebounding, it is really a waste of their height and physical fitness.It's desire, too bad, not worthy of his talent at all.

But in the second half, Sanders finally got his chance. If you observe carefully, the Lakers are back-to-back games.

The Thunder only played on the 24th, and they came to fight the Timberwolves non-stop on the 25th.

And it is still a continuous away game, the degree of physical fatigue must exist.

Tang Qian can use the "recovery crystal brick" to recover his physical fitness after a night of sleep, but others can't, such as the Lakers' starter Jeremy Lin.He is a bit overwhelmed now, and his condition has not been very good recently.As a person who has only played more than 20 minutes per game in his career.All of a sudden, he averaged close to 40 minutes per game, and the intensity consumption, physical energy consumption, and energy consumption were all huge.There is no transition at all, and Jeremy Lin feels that he has a little "backache, back pain and leg cramps" recently.

The decline in competitive status is a very intuitive thing.

But D'Antoni's system needs the No. 1 position very much, so he can't fall down casually, let alone rest casually.

The rest of them are similar, back to back is somewhat affected, judging from their physical fitness, they are not at the top level, so in the second half, the Lakers suddenly lost touch with the game.This situation is very common, but it is very depressing when it falls on your home team.At this time, the Timberwolves counterattacked and showed their power from the outside. They switched to an all-three-point lineup and it worked. Tang Qian didn't go out because he had to take care of the inside for a lot of shots.This guy was selected by the NBA back then because he had a three-pointer. Although it is inevitable that he will be criticized for his style of play, playing in the CBA from the NBA in the future is an example.Obviously the tonnage is not bad, and the height is not bad, so this is enough.

But no matter what the future holds, in this game, he played the role of a "surprise soldier". Tang Qian had no choice but to defend in the end, which gave the Timberwolves a chance to take advantage of it.Seeing that the Lakers lost No. 29 on the inside, Wiggins immediately seemed to be resurrected with full blood, and began to hit the inside to score consecutively. The score difference was narrowed all of a sudden until it was tied.

But the Lakers are not without chance, and in the end they still have the possibility of overtaking and winning.

But Jeremy Lin's key mistake ruined all of this. In the end, the Timberwolves unexpectedly defeated the Los Angeles Lakers, the second-placed team in the Western Conference, by 2 points. Also happy.Humans are a little bit hostile to the rich and the excellent.

You are better than me, so I would like to see you fall down and drink cold water to stuff your teeth.

Wiggins, who scored 22 points in the game, also said boldly: This is the result of his hard work, and he will have the potential to become the most powerful outside stars in the league.He has the ability to beat any team.

This person is really speechless, no wonder the relationship between the Timberwolves will be tense in the future, and they will not be able to be the boss and second child at all.

His head is really worrying.

Anyway, Tang Qian remembered, the Timberwolves, right? Wiggins is the most powerful outside star, right? He has the ability to beat any team, right?Very good, anyway, everyone is in the west, I don't believe you will be able to jump around like this next time.

Originally, the NBA season is the densest and longest among the four major leagues in North America. It is normal to lose a few games. Besides, back-to-back losses are also the most likely in the NBA.The Bulls lost back to back, so there's nothing to say.Athletes are human too, right? We need to take a breather.The Lakers have also won 31 consecutive victories this season. For the upcoming playoffs, many Lakers fans said that it doesn't matter if they delay a few games.

Two days later, the Raptors are still relatively easy to play. Their three-pointers this season are the last in the league. Among the five starting players, only two are truly capable of three-pointers.One Lowry and one Terrence Ross.

The remaining three, including DeRozan, have no three-point threats.

DeRozan's 28% of three-pointers this season is really convinced by himself. Of course, others are also very self-aware and simply don't shoot three-pointers. The average of 1+ three-pointers per game is enough to show that he dare not shoot himself.As for everyone saying that he is the king of mid-range shots and the classical point-and-shoot style of play, that is also nonsense.This has to be divided into two parts. In the first 2 games when he usually has abundant physical reserves, the mid-range is indeed very accurate and scary, even a bit close to Jordan Kobe, but in the second half of the season... the situation is different.

All of a sudden, he changed from the so-called "King of the North" to "Death of the North".

Every time the season starts, you will see that Waza DeRozan is so accurate in the middle distance that he is close to Kobe Jordan and the like, but in fact, look at it after the season.I go, the hit rate is just so-so.Especially when he began to be valued by all teams in the league and began to focus on marking.The drop in hit rate is extremely obvious.For example, in this 14-15 season, his mid-range shots were only 3% of his hits. What about mid-range and long-range shots, that is, 7-pointers from 16-23 feet?Worse, only 2%.The whole adds up to only 3% or so.And the shot ratio exceeds his own shot ratio by 5%.The decline in the playoffs is even more blinding. This season, only 3% of the mid-range 6 points, yes, 55%, you read that right.2 points from a long distance is only more than 18%.This is also called CIC King?

Besides his career, he is also very average, and the playoffs are even worse.

A player who hits more than 2% of his field goals regardless of the mid-range 2-pointer or long-range 3-pointer in his career, what is he called the mid-range shot king?

At least in the second half, he was completely misnamed.

After the intensity came up, he became a dog in an instant.

In addition, the defense is also very average, and the upper limit is not high. If this kind of person is really like Kobe, it would be too funny.

The bankruptcy version is all flattery.

Besides, his ability to fight hard battles is extremely poor, so there is no need to mention this, everyone's eyes are sharp.

The Lakers led by 15 points at halftime. In the second half, DeRozan, under the defense of Butler, hit the iron hard. The head coach of the Raptors, Dwyane Casey, couldn't help calling a timeout to temporarily change his style of play. .However, their sixth man played very well during the bench time. He is Louis Williams, who competed with Nick Young for the best sixth man this season.

This guy only talks about offense, but he really has a good prospect. If you give him enough shots, he can really maintain his firepower output.

And the effect is no worse than that of ordinary stars on the bench.

According to Tang Qian, his scoring ability is purely better than Nick Young, but Nick Young is taller, and has better top shooting ability and 3-point ability, which is what the Lakers need.Each has its own strengths, and Nick Young is much cheaper than him, isn't he?The price/performance ratio is also higher.

In addition to last year's finals match, Nick Young's big heart ability has improved significantly, and now he can play a surprising effect with many balls.

After working together for so long, Tang Qian also recognized Nick Young's ability on the bench, and that was enough.

As long as his teammates are capable and his attitude is acceptable, he is not the kind of person who "eats what is in the bowl and looks at the pot".

Winning the championship with people who believe in him is what he has to do and his goal.

Relying on Lou Williams' attack on the bench, the Raptors caught up in 7-8 minutes of the fourth quarter, and the score was only 5 points behind the Lakers.It's a pity that Lowry broke through and got a big cap from Tang Qian in the end. Jeremy Lin advanced the pass and Ariza defended and counterattacked for a dunk.Then DeRozan broke through the inside and was interfered, the basketball missed, Yi Jianlian got the rebound in the backcourt, and Tang Qian relied on Tang Qian's high pick-and-roll on the offensive end, Jeremy Lin passed the defender, and then raised the basketball to his head during the breakthrough Throwing, with a "boom", Jeremy Lin was clever, and he didn't stop after passing the ball, and quickly ran out of the baseline.Lowry, who was chasing after him, was in a terrible situation. He was thrown out by the huge force coming from behind, and Tang Qian smashed the basket violently.

Also because of a defensive foul, Tang Qian had to add a free throw.

Tang Qian didn't make a free throw, but the Raptors' breakthrough goal was destroyed. Butler made a three-pointer, and the score difference widened again.In this way, it can be regarded as completely making the opponent lose the meaning of resistance.After the last 2 minutes, the red light on the backboard lights up, and the game is over.The Lakers won.

Victory, of course, there was a lot of blowing in the country, saying that the last game was just a breather, and now that I had a rest, I started sprinting again, aiming at the Golden State Warriors.Then it is to analyze how much Tang Qian has the possibility to win this season's regular season MVP trophy.According to the analysis of these domestic editors and so-called experts, it seems that they are already sure.

This kind of urination is the same as before, but because Tang Qian is a Chinese, everyone can still understand emotionally.

Yi Jianlian's performance has gradually stabilized recently. He averaged about ten minutes per game and scored an average of 7-8 points, which is also acceptable.After all, now everyone has come out of Yao Ming's overheated mind and knows how difficult it is to produce an All-Star player.Generally speaking, it is not bad to be able to stabilize the rotation.

With this perspective and attitude, Yi Di's average of 7-8 points and 3 rebounds per game is not bad.

Everyone is tolerant, and Yi Di's mentality has improved a lot, which is completely different from before when he didn't dare to watch the domestic news after every game.

After one or two more games, Nick Young should be back, and the Lakers' combat effectiveness will recover a lot.

The future seemed bright.
