Chapter 1115 They have no chance
On May 5th, US time, the Lakers played against the Los Angeles Clippers at home. Of course, the venue was at the Staples Center.It's just that the floor and commentator have been replaced by the Lakers.

At the beginning of this game, the Lakers underestimated the enemy a little bit, because they had a big lead and the promotion situation was very good, which made them ignore the difficulty of leading this round of the series.In this game, as long as Tang potential is on the court, Paul will give up the high-speed rushing style of play. The Clippers use the traditional style of play to start the offense. Unfortunately, their overall shooting percentage is mediocre. Only 22 points were recorded in the first quarter. Instead, the Lakers The whole team felt good, and scored 30+ points in the first quarter.

Although the system is still not working well, it feels good, which also covers up this aspect.

It seems that this game should be won smoothly, but who knows that at this time, someone in the Clippers is angry, and he is the steady god, Chris Paul.Seeing that the morale of the whole team was a bit low and not in the state, the depression in his heart was transformed into a burst of anger.Because if he loses again, he will be ridiculed by the outside world again, as a "man cursed by the floor of the Western Conference Finals".This kind of bullshit nickname, he absolutely does not want to hear it.So, Paul went berserk.

It is said that he usually plays very steadily, and the offense is the first goal, but tonight, he began to behave uncharacteristically.

From the middle of the second quarter, holding the No. 1 position of the Lakers, they kept attacking.Whether it's Jeremy Lin or another substitute.

Paul's offensive feeling in the playoffs this season is actually very good. He hit a strong "190+ shooting percentage" in the last round. Yuan Shikong is also the leader of the "190 club" throughout the playoffs this season.It was really hard for Jeremy Lin to be targeted by him.Usually, it's fine, but in this game, the pressure of elimination, inner anger, unwillingness to be ridiculed by the outside world and other factors combined, so that Chris Paul suppressed so many games at once, and finally couldn't help but want to vent himself.

There is no doubt that he has entered "The.Zone" in an all-round way, which is really scary, because he is now at his peak age and peak state, and then entering the full-scale "The.Zone" really makes this round of the series feel so-so Jeremy Lin is under a lot of pressure, and his head is going numb.He could see that the eyes of the 183 cm small man on the opposite side were bursting with flames.

It is impossible for him to stop this man normally, but now... it is even more difficult.

In this quarter, as long as the Clippers were a little bit unable to continue their offense, he would stand up and take over decisively. It was him who made 15% of the three-pointers.It's really not that Jeremy Lin didn't work hard on defense, it's just that the man on the opposite side was too tough. In addition, he made 7 free throws and scored 5 points, 7 assists and 100 rebounds in a single quarter. There was basically no "offensive gap time" in the quarter, and they scored 2 points in a single quarter. On the other hand, the Lakers, because Tang Qian had more off-court time in this period, not to mention the decline in defense, the offense also suffered a large fault.Nick Young's poor touch in this game allowed the Lakers to basically score zero points in the second quarter's bench time.If Yi Di hadn't made a mid-range shot, he still doesn't know how many points he would have been overtaken by the opponent during this period of time.D'Antoni had no choice but to immediately arrange for Tang Qian and Bosh to play. Bosh stood up on the scoring end and helped the Lakers get through this unfavorable scoring situation, but on the defensive end, the effect was still not good.

How to say?Didn't Tang Qian come up?

This question is very good.Tang Qian came up, and he deliberately kept the offensive end, so there should be no problem with defensive physical fitness, and he can be more focused and concentrated.However, there is a problem here. The Clippers were too fierce in this quarter. They found Jeremy Lin in one-on-one singles. The shooting percentage was extremely high, and he didn't miss a single three-pointer. What do you do?
No matter how strong Tang Qian is, it's impossible for him to go that far.Paul's one-on-one ability is hard to beat Jeremy Lin, and most of his shots are concentrated in the area outside the penalty area, which also makes Tang Qian unable to intervene.In fact, Paul's two missed shots in this quarter were also thanks to him, and he made up defenses inside to make Paul miss the penalty area.Otherwise, it is very likely that Chris Paul will make 7 of 7 shots in this quarter.

After this quarter, the Clippers overwhelmed the Lakers by 5 points, but this didn't make people too concerned.

Anyway, the second quarter of the Lakers has been the weakest defense in the past few years.

Everyone is used to being scored a little more. After all, the opponent is not a fool. Knowing that your team's defensive ability is the weakest at this time, why don't you just watch obediently if you don't play?Therefore, no one cares too much.Everyone thought, just play well in the second half and then catch up.In this game, the Lakers are very likely to win.

The scene even prepared performance eggs to celebrate the promotion, just waiting for the Lakers to sweep 4-1.

At the beginning of the second half, the Lakers did as usual and overwhelmed the Clippers. Tang Qian's deterrence at the basket also caused the Clippers' overall shooting percentage to drop significantly. They only made 20 of 6 shots in a single quarter, and their shooting percentage was only 30%, and no one who scored more than a 7 did not.Paul passed a lot of good shots, but his teammates didn't grasp it.This is why the Clippers have always been short in recent years. When they are in critical games, they are often prone to problems.Ultimately leading to the series out.

Whether it's Paul, Griffin or the rest, they are almost meaningless about key challenges.

Not as fierce and stable as those of Kobe Durant and James.

And if the game is played for that sake, the competition is still the star's hard work ability.

The Spurs in the 13-14 season, the team as a whole was highly explosive and even metaphysical. After all, there was only one team. It would be impossible for them to come again this season.Otherwise, it won't be killed by the Clippers in the tiebreaker.This year's Paul is already working hard, at least he is more decisive than in previous seasons.

Seeing that the team was pushed down again, Paul was really angry about this game. He started a wave of personal offensive scoring show without warning in the fourth quarter.20 points in a single quarter! ! !This situation can even be said to be a rare one in Paul's playoffs. Jeremy Lin was overwhelmed by the former. He made 9 of 7 shots in a single quarter, and his shooting percentage was 77.8%. It was you again for the three-pointer. My sister hit 100%, and all 4 shots went into the net, and basically all of them went in against Jeremy Lin.Jeremy Lin also expressed his despair when he made an emergency stop after a change of direction and shot an angry three-pointer.

It is impossible for him to defend Paul a little farther away. Paul's breakthrough is too powerful, and the latter is also more than usual tonight. Accurate, he is a little confused about the situation.The judgment of the head gradually became abnormal.When D'Antoni saw this, he was quite decisive, and immediately replaced someone else to defend Paul, but it was useless.If you stick tight, he will pass, and then make an emergency stop and jump into the net, and they don’t go inside to challenge so much. You can go a little farther like Jeremy Lin, and he raised his hand to shoot a three-pointer again, which is terribly accurate. what can you doYou can't do anything.This is the best state of the combination of sudden shots, not a super defensive vanguard, and there is no chance to resist it.Even Butler, who is the second defense, seems powerless because Paul's state has entered the full "The.Zone".

The Lakers were disrupted by Paul in this quarter. Paul, whose attack power has suddenly increased to the extreme, really makes you helpless.

In the end, in order to contain Paul, D'Antoni could only choose to use zone defense and double-teaming. Otherwise, with Paul's touch, I'm really afraid that he will score even crazier.However, Paul passed the ball again at this time. How can he say that he is still the No. 1 position. This essence has already penetrated into the bone marrow, so... the Lakers can only bet that the rest of the players will not make the same shot as before.

But the facts once again show that if you want to count on others not being allowed to win, it is like worshiping a Bodhisattva before the exam.

There is no control and initiative at all. Once the opponent's touch returns to normal, yes, you just need to be normal, and you will be finished.

These people are all NBA starters, and they are not weak. They only need to feel normal in the face of large open positions, and they don't need to be supernormal to kill the Lakers.In the fourth quarter, the Lakers once again suffered from a lack of defensive system. The whole team was extremely confused by Paul, and the defensive formation was overwhelmed. This is exactly what Paul wanted. He will not let go of any pass assists. The Clippers The three-point shooting percentage in a single quarter reached 63.6%, and the field goal percentage of the whole team in a single quarter, pay attention, the whole team exceeded 63%.This situation is equivalent to the Lakers' defense, which completely failed and was beaten into a sieve.

The Clippers scored 37 points in a single quarter and finally defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 112-102.

The Lakers played quite well in the fourth quarter, with 24 points in a single quarter, not bad, and a shooting percentage of around 45%, which is also acceptable. The rebounds and blocks also surpassed the Clippers.Then why did it crash?It is because one of the Clippers' shooting percentages is too high and the outside line is too accurate, which makes the Lakers' defense completely powerless.The second is that the Clippers have 6 steals in this quarter, and Paul alone has 4 steals. In addition, he did not stop but caused the Lakers to delay and stagnate or even make direct mistakes. You know this order How fierce is the 6 steals in the quarter.At the same time, because of Paul, these 6 steals, without exception, turned into points for the Clippers.From this point of view, either the Lakers played too badly in the fourth quarter, or the Clippers played too well.

There is no dispute that Chris Paul is the strongest player tonight. He scored 41 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and 5 steals in the game. This data alone makes people feel a great all-rounder Sexuality, from the offensive end to the defensive end, tonight's Chris Paul can be said to be invincible from the outside.At the same time, 41 points in a single game also set his playoff scoring record.

The big score was dragged into 3-2.

It seems that everything is in suspense again.

Tang Qian only scored 6 points, 15 rebounds, 5 blocks and 1 assist in this game. In fact, his protection of the penalty area is good enough, and it is not only blocks that can be used as a successful defense.Reducing the opponent's hit rate is the key.On this point, Tang Qian did a good job tonight. Paul's terrifying state and hit rate were all hindered by him, and he missed a few, which shows that his inside protection is not a major problem.It's just that the opponent's state is too fierce tonight, and the entire Lakers team has not encountered an "auspicious day".Moreover, he has become more and more familiar with how to allocate his physical energy on the offensive and defensive ends, which has greatly improved the time he can stay on the court at critical moments and key games.

After this game, of course there was another round of rumors, and the four major media jointly launched an attack, saying that Tang Qian did not play well.

The scoring end did not play the responsibility of a boss and so on.

In fact, if you watch football for a long time, you will really find a very strange thing. Whether it is domestic or foreign, it seems that the biggest concern for the team's contribution is to score.It is true that scoring is the highest level of data in basketball. This is no problem. After all, basketball is a competitive sport with the goal of scoring.But should the defensive end be ignored?

Offensive buys tickets, defense wins, this is the argument they put forward back then, why is it not working now?
So you know, why James wants to play all-inclusively, this is because the data will be occupied, so that at least he will be invincible in terms of data.No one can hack him from this aspect.

The so-called all-round stats have this advantage, you have to accept it, and it is not unreasonable that this style of play will become popular in the entire league in the future.If Tang Qian wanted to play like this, the statistics would definitely not be like this, but his help to the team would be relatively reduced.Besides, he doesn't have the historical level of physical fitness of James.

This offseason, he really has a lot of things to do, and there are also a lot of areas that need to focus on training and improving.

He doesn't have time to relax too much.

Holidays and the like are not in his plan. At most, he will go back to China to see his parents and Yao Ming. For the rest, it is best to stay honestly in Los Angeles and practice.

The sports age of an athlete is very short. Even if he is only 21 years old now instead of 25 years old on the surface, it does not mean that he can waste time.How many talented players, thinking about tomorrow and tomorrow, finally lost everyone, and finally retired empty-handed with hatred?Tang Qian didn't plan to wander around as a veteran in the end, hugging his thighs and mixing rings everywhere.

It's not that rings for role players like Horry Fisher aren't worth much.But if you look at it, if your goal is to be a super giant in league history, top 2017, top ten or even higher in league history, you will know that this kind of ring is not easy to use.Jordan's "keystone ring theory" does not include this.Original time and space In July 7, the American media cheatsheet publicly ranked Bill Russell ahead of Jordan, who ranked second in history, but Jordan himself didn't say anything, but thought it was negotiable.This is the power of the core ring.Try another person, try putting Horry and his ilk ahead of Jordan, and see if he mocks you.When he entered the Hall of Fame, he took out the former high school coach and "whipped the corpse" for a meal. The master of "retribution".Do you think he would expose it so easily?

This is why Paul still wants to lead the team to win the championship.

No matter how bad it is, he still has to do dual-core to get the ring, and the second master. It's still obvious, and he can't accept it at the moment.

This kind of ring, unless they are really about to retire for the rest of their lives, they only want to mix one. Under normal circumstances, as long as there is still some oil, they want to get the core ring as much as possible.

Role player rings, until the end of the mountain, they don't know how to choose.

Chris Paul also shouted bold words: We still have a chance to prove that we are the king of Los Angeles.

Tang Qian has only one response to this: They have no chance.
