Chapter 1106 Thigh waves and the danger that still exists

The Lakers also played poorly at the beginning of the second game. Although Jeremy Lin used a lot of pick-and-rolls to make the system a little more comfortable, it was still not enough when facing Paul and the Clippers.Because there are many problems with excessive pick-and-rolls, firstly, not every pick-and-roll can be successful, secondly, if your pick-and-roll is successful, the opponent may break your pick-and-roll if they are a good defender, and secondly, after the pick-and-roll, there is a possibility of being double-teamed by the opponent.Not to mention that excessive pick-and-rolls can easily mechanize the team's system, fix the overall routine, and rigid tactical running.Even if they are as strong as the "Utah Shuangsha" Stockton and Karl Malone, they don't play pick-and-roll every time, but they use it more frequently and it is more reasonable.

Anyone who really does all pick-and-rolls is definitely a big fool.

And Paul is very good at defending pick-and-rolls. The four major cracking methods of pick-and-rolls, robbing, penetrating, winding, and changing, are all perfect in his heart.Otherwise, do you really think that his many years of mastery of the first defense is a joke?He is only 183CM tall.Even if this height is placed in the No. 1 position, it is considered short, okay?

So although the Lakers did a lot of high pick-and-rolls, the effect is not without it, it just didn't achieve the effect D'Antoni wanted.Of course, apart from Paul's problems, Jeremy Lin's own problems are also very important.What problem, a problem, he is not strong enough.If he has the ability of peak Nash, it can also have a great effect. It must be known that the same set of methods is used on different people, and the results are completely different.

It's a pity for Jeremy Lin, the upper limit of his strength is there. In fact, he has played the strongest season this season, but when he bumps into Paul, everything will return to the original point.Especially in the playoffs, Paul made him miserable.

In the first quarter, the Lakers only managed to score 27 points after much effort. They scored 24 points even though the opponent didn't feel good. They were only 3 points behind the Lakers. Immediately, there was a storm of insider attacks, with Chris Paul as the core of leadership, threading needles, and the "City of Lob Pickups" exploded non-stop at the Staples Center.

Thackeray is going to be dizzy, his height is not bad, and his tonnage is also solid, but...his athletic ability and agility are too poor. Feel.In just these 6-7 minutes, including the last 2 minutes of the first quarter, he has been caught 4-5 times over the head by the Clippers.Really missing Tang Qian, the Los Angeles Lakers fell from the league's strongest inside defense to the bottom, and Yi Jianlian couldn't do much on the defensive end, because compared to these people, he is the real "playoffs" He is still adapting to many unspoken rules of strength scale in the playoffs. It is not obvious to play against the Rockets. That is because the Lakers as a whole suppress their opponents. The 4-0 sweep is the biggest manifestation.But playing against the Los Angeles Clippers is not the case. After losing a game first, now the entire Lakers feel the pressure.To put it simply, it is no longer a tailwind but a headwind.Yi Jianlian was fine in the downwind game, but felt a great discomfort in the headwind game.It will take some time for him to adjust and adapt.

There is no way, Tang Qian can only play early, otherwise, the game will be wasted.I have to admit that the Lakers are too optimistic about sweeping the first round. Seeing the Clippers play the tiebreaker in the first round, there is unspeakable contempt in their hearts.Including Tang Qian, they were all mentally ill-prepared.

I didn't expect the Clippers to play so hard.

I didn't expect that the Clippers could contain the "Purple and Gold Storm" of the Los Angeles Lakers from the source at once.

Jeremy Lin is rather frustrated, but Paul's defense is not generally strong, and he has no choice but to say something big, even if he meets this year's No. 01 seeded team in the league and Stephen Curry, he will not feel so uncomfortable .Because of Curry's defense, compared with Paul, the difference is more than 30:[-] points.

The difference is not that big in general.

So in this round, the Lakers paid a huge price for their lack of preparation.

Jeremy Lin really wants to work hard and make adjustments, but unless he enters the "Linsanity" state, otherwise, his strength is not enough to face Chris Paul, not enough.There is nothing to belittle him, even if any point guard meets Chris Paul, he will be greatly tested.The integration of offense and defense for many years is not fake.It's not something that any star player can do.Jeremy Lin's level is a bit far behind him.

If the current controller of this team is the peak Nash, it is definitely not in this situation, but unfortunately not.

And D'Antoni's system, once the No. 1 position is restricted, then the whole is restricted, and the team's strength will decline greatly.

Who made his system just rely on the ability of the No. 1 position? If the ball handler is not good, the system will not work.

Tang Qian came on the field early and attacked with a knife. The effect was good, but it didn't have the effect of turning the situation around. Paul, this guy is really worthy of being a master at the No. 1 position. All-time top.With him, the Clippers seldom fall into a disadvantaged attack. In one-on-one, he will also use his vision and passing ability to give the ball to the teammate with the most advantageous position, so as to maximize the offense. Success rate.

Therefore, a team like the Lakers, which relies entirely on the defensive ability of individual players, seems to him to have a lot of problems, and it is not a strong defensive team at all.It's not obvious in the regular season. In the playoffs, as the scale changes and the intensity changes, the Lakers' defense can be played by him.This is also the role of a really strong one position.Can control the team, at the same time, can also gain insight into the defense.You can't see many opportunities, but it doesn't mean they can't see them either. For a strong No. 1 position, the brain is really more important than the body sometimes.For example, at this time, the Lakers always missed people and were easily cut by the Clippers, but you want to say that the Lakers didn't take defense seriously?That's not right, that is, I can't prevent it.

Paul is not that kind of offensive star. He doesn't need to make a shot himself, he can rely on the strength of the entire team to break the game and tear apart the enemy's defense.The Rockets don't have this kind of person, or they have, but they haven't been inspired yet.But the Clippers have it, and this is a huge test for the Lakers' defense.

Including Tang Qian, he was a little bit dizzy by the opponent, because no matter how strong you are, you are only one person, and they are attacking you with the whole team, what can you do?Once he is distracted a little bit and attracts a little attention, then it is an opportunity, and Chris Paul will definitely not waste it.In this regard, the gap between Jeremy Lin and him has come out. Paul and him are like the difference between the stars and the moon in terms of seeing through the opponent's flaws and then commanding the whole team to break the situation.

All of a sudden, the Clippers played better and more smoothly, while the Lakers played more and more stagnant.

You can't play like this anymore, you have to make some changes. Obviously, Jeremy Lin's point, this round of the series, basically don't have to count too much.It is not easy for him to persevere under Paul's high-pressure defense.So, it's my turn.

Tang Qian did the same, but Jordan was not a vegetarian. He was in a good state tonight and his mentality was firm, which made the former feel a little uncomfortable in the fight.It is really not bragging that he is the first defensive player of the season in Yuanshikong.Defensive ability is not generally strong. When Tang Qian hit him, his shooting percentage also dropped significantly.

Therefore, his shooting percentage is average, and it is even more difficult for the Lakers to catch up. At the end of the half game, the Los Angeles Clippers took the lead into the second half with an unexpected score.The Lakers scored 47 points, and the Clippers scored 59 points. In other words, in the second quarter, the Los Angeles Clippers scored a total of 35 points. Although this is not as exaggerated as a 40+ single quarter, it is absolutely efficient and eye-catching .What about the same Lakers?Only 20 points were recorded in the second quarter, and 15 points were lost all of a sudden.

In the locker room, the Lakers side was a bit dull. It seemed that the sweep of the first round was still in front of them, and they were suddenly beaten like this.They are still a little too naive about the playoffs.As the boss of the team, Tang Qian stood up and proposed to change the overall style of play, but D'Antoni did not agree with him, because D'Antoni believed that the reason why the Lakers scored less in the second quarter was not because of system problems, but because of the bad touch on the outside. That's all, as long as the outside line is adjusted in the second half, it will be fine.

D'Antoni has his own considerations. He thinks that it is impractical to change his style of play suddenly, which makes it easier to be defeated.

During the intermission, Tianchao Sports also analyzed a wave. They all believed that the Lakers were in trouble. The Clippers brutally suppressed the starting point of the Lakers system, and the Lakers devoted too much energy to helping Jeremy Lin Breaking the game is actually a relatively vicious circle.But what is the solution?No one can tell, and if they can tell, they won't sit here and talk about football. They have already gone to the NBA to get a "official job".

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Lakers did feel smooth for a while, but there is a problem here that D'Antoni ignored.That is, your Lakers feel good, OK, no problem, but what if the Clippers feel good?

What is the result of being good on both sides?It's just that the scene was extremely lively, but the score difference didn't change substantially.On this point, D'Antoni miscalculated. The Lakers have no defensive system, and they encountered Paul and suffered a big loss.To say that D'Antoni's offensive system is also very fierce, but unfortunately, the controller is also a bit worse. If it is a strong vacancy, the situation will be completely different.

For example, if D'Antoni's men are Paul, who is both offensive and defensive, then the Lakers play like this, and they can definitely be tough with any team.There is no doubt about it.But Jeremy Lin's lack of ability has been infinitely magnified in this round of the series.It even caused the Lakers to fall into a crisis of 2 consecutive losses at home.

This can’t go on like this anymore. Seeing that the Lakers were still 10 points behind after more than half of the third quarter, Tang Qian was a little anxious. He wanted to attack with the ball by himself, but the effect was really not obvious enough. In the playoffs Under the scale, Jordan's defense is very good, which makes Tang Qian's offensive hit rate not too high, or even a little low.Therefore, this ball seems to be the Clippers seeing hope.They will have to turn the big score of the series into 2-0 in the first two games in one breath.

At this time, it was Chris Bosh who stood up. He pulled out and hit 3-pointers from outside the three-point line. This made Griffin of the Clippers very uncomfortable. He didn't like to run outside the three-point line. Defense, and his defensive attitude and concentration are not enough, which is why he obviously has such a good physical fitness and such a strong physique, but his blocking and defense are not good.It can only be said that it is above the league level.In the Clippers game, he is a point that often distracts on the defensive end.

If it weren't for Jordan, his defense, the problem would be further magnified.

Coupled with Butler's continuous defensive success, the Lakers played a few rare defensive counterattacks, and the score difference was only at the last moment, and the Lakers chased them up.Both sides of this game bit to the last moment, until the last second, it is impossible to judge who will win in the end.At this juncture, the shooting percentages of both sides have begun to decline, the defensive concentration has been improved, and the scale of confrontation has also been relaxed. Right now, it is the time for players or stars to decide the game.

At this time, if the Lakers still have No. 24, it will not be a problem at all, and the chances of winning are great.

It's a pity that now, the chances of winning are not enough, and Tang Qian also has a serious decline in physical fitness due to his premature playing and insufficient rest time, and his overall efficiency is also rapidly weakening.At this time, fortunately, someone stepped forward, and he was Chris Bosh, who had just won the first team of the best team.He really played the role of "wave thigh" tonight. At the last moment, he made 4 of 3 shots, 2 three-pointers and 1 2-pointer. He scored 8 points with a super high shooting percentage and helped the Los Angeles Lakers finally 2 With a total score of 101-99, they defeated the Los Angeles Clippers by 2 points and successfully won the home victory.

In this game, Bosh also has a great intention to prove himself. He wants the outside world to be convinced for a while.Therefore, there came such a sudden wave of strong performances.Not to mention the Clippers head coach Rivers didn't think of this big explosion, even D'Antoni of the Lakers is just as lucky.

If Bosh hadn't scored 36 points tonight, the Lakers would have been dead in this game.

Bosh tonight is undoubtedly a real giant.

At the press conference after the game, everyone expressed their appreciation to Bosh, which made Bosh look good and very happy.

However, Bosh broke out a game, can you still expect him to break out every game?

In the next game, Bosh can't explode, so what should we do?

While Tang Qian was enjoying the victory of the game, he couldn't help but fell into a certain degree of thinking.

How to break through this round of the series?
It seems that it is not easy to handle.

PS: I’ve been doing double chapters for 2 consecutive days, take a day off tonight, and continue to double chapters tomorrow~
It will explode tomorrow~~~~~~~~Let’s fight together everyone~~~~~~~~~
