Chapter 1167 The Lakers' first show, it was very slow after halftime

Staples Center, Lakers regular season opener.

It seems that the "grass period" has been too long, so the Staples Center is extremely lively and enthusiastic tonight.

Players from both sides began to warm up.

Towns looked at the No. 29 who was warming up and shooting in front of him and said, "That guy is Dongfang Tang? It looks...he is really big." Wiggins next to him said in his heart: It's not just big, an offseason Did he take steroids?Last season was big enough, now, is this against the sky?He's over 300+ lbs, right?Or 310 pounds? Fuc.k~ I hope his athletic ability has declined a lot.

"I really want to try his weight tonight! It's a pity that he can't play tonight~ Otherwise~" Towns, like all the "Heaven's Chosen Ones" who have just entered the league, feels that he is the best one , These people are just "stepping stones" on the way forward.It's no wonder that every new NBA season will stage a variety of "teaching rookies".They are mainly rookies, they are all pretentious and think they are college stars, so they want to be stars when they come to the NBA.In addition, challenging well-known players is the best way to increase your reputation, so this kind of "challenge drama" and "lesson drama" will be repeated at the beginning of each season.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this. Although most challenges end in failure, there are also examples of success.

Become famous through the first battle and gain a lot of praise and support from fans.

The example of McGrady becoming famous in the training camp is well known, and Qiao Shen was discovered by the college coach through constant "mixing" and "familiarity" in the training camp.In addition to the examples in these training camps, there are not many famous nights in the NBA.Farther away, such as the "Magician" finals where Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was replaced, it can be said that the gods have descended to earth, and the center can be topped by him, and he handed over a data sheet that would be difficult for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to hand over, 42 With 15 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals, he perfectly defeated his opponent and won the FMVP trophy as a rookie.

For example, the 76ers' rookie Michael Carter Williams played against the Heat, surrendered a nearly crazy 4-double data, and helped the team upset the defending champion Heat in the season. In that game, the "Heat Big Three" became his supporting role.Although he played worse and worse later on, as if his "spiritual energy" had been overdrawn, but this did not prevent his name from being remembered by many people for a while.After all, this is the strongest debut in the NBA in 28 years, something that none of the superstars can do.

Then there is Jeremy Lin's "Linsanity", Brandon Jennings' youngest "Mr. 50+", Yao Ming's 23 points, 20 points, 6 rebounds, 9 of 9 shots, and Barkley kissing the ass of the donkey.There is also a recent "scoring crazy show" in the future, the teenager Devin Booker from the Suns scored 70 points!This allowed him to create a lot of history in one fell swoop, such as the youngest Mr. 70 points, such as becoming the No.1 active single-game scorer in this league and so on.

This is due to becoming famous in the first battle. Jeremy Lin challenged the Lakers. If he didn't score such a high score, would he be remembered after the game? The NBA will only respect the strong, and this has been the case since the founding of the league.Therefore, many young rookies think that they can also become famous in the first battle like them, and since then, the endorsement contracts and fame have been flying like snowflakes.

What is more "eye-catching" and "topic" than beating the No. [-] player in the league at the same position?

Downs dares to say that as long as he does it, he will definitely be on the front page tomorrow, and his commercial value will also increase greatly.As a rookie, he is much more obsessed with beauty than a famous star.Because the latter basically does not lack this, but what about the former, they have just joined the league, and their pockets are relatively "dry".In this case, continuing to increase the US knife is the top priority.

And how to increase?Of course, the greater the fame, the faster the money.

This is the same all over the world.

As this year's No. [-] pick, if Downs doesn't have this kind of heart, he will come out of the prestigious Kentucky school in vain.

Besides, most Americans flaunt their individuality, and they don't want to "accumulate" and "wait" at all.

Well, there is actually no problem with this mentality. A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier.However, it depends on who you are looking for for this challenge.If the search is not good, it is very likely that the "human tragedy" that Bellamy met Wilt Chamberlain for the first time will happen.

Nonsense, you rookie wants to become famous overnight by challenging me, so I have to "teach me a lesson" for my own reputation, don't I?Besides, "teaching newcomers" is originally a "long tradition" of North American sports leagues.

Tang Qian didn't express anything when he saw the eyes of the young champion on the opposite side. It was Nick Yang, the "big mouth of good things" who said: "Hot~ Look, the boy looks at you because he regards you as a delicacy." Right. Why, no idea?" "Yes." Tang Qian replied while warming up: "I really want to 'take care of' him. But I can't do it tonight."

"That's such a pity, he's still a rookie and a top-ranked genius, it looks like the good show will be postponed," Nick Yang said with a smile.Tang Qian said indifferently: "What kind of genius is someone who can't stand the storm? Don't forget that when I joined the NBA, I was well-trained by these famous stars. This is a compulsory course, and Jordan was even taught by uncles." Germany has been repaired severely. Is he still more talented than those two? Of course, even if it is Jordan Bird, I will not be afraid in the first year of his rookie. I am already in the fifth grade. It is a lesson to teach rookies how to play in the NBA My job." "Well, hey hey, you can think whatever you want anyway, I'm just a good show." Nick Yang said: "Don't say he is Jordan, saying he is Bird is flattering He, anyway, I am most optimistic about you in this position."

Tang Qian said lightly: "My opponent is no longer this kind of rookie. Don't forget our goal for this season, Nick. Tuning and training rookies is just a seasoning, don't relax your focus."

"Allah, I got it, I got it, I will remember. We will definitely get off to a good start in this game. Even though you won't be able to play, we are confident." Nick Yang said: "Just watch me. It's hot. Have a good night Enjoy my 'Yang Shaoxia' performance on the bench~"

"Just a good start is not enough." Tang Qian jumped up with a one-handed dunk: "You have to perform very well, otherwise I will stand up from the 'bench' after the game and practice with you. "

"Uh~ practice with you again? Let's forget it~" Nick Yang's face turned pale when he heard this: "You think I'm Kobe."

"You two train lunatics~"

……

"Here is Tianchao Sports Station. After waiting for an offseason, the new NBA season has finally begun. Today we bring you the game Los Angeles Lakers VS Minnesota Timberwolves. If you have anything to say, you can send the bib , pay attention to the topic to receive prizes. Director Zhang, Director Zhang? What are you looking at?"

"Look at that boy Tang Qian. He is really thick and strong now. This is the high-quality body of an inside player. It is a pity that there is no way to see his improvement during the offseason today." When Zhang Weiping played, he was "Strength play", none of the most powerful players in the national team before, at the age of 50, is still unrivaled in the CBA, which has become a good story.His playing style back then was called "Chinese Barkley". It can be seen that although his old man kept emphasizing the rationality, you would know when you really watched the game...he liked the kind of heroic ball that surpassed the reasonable.

Tang Qian is getting bigger and bigger now, and he likes it more and more.

Because a strong body is a strong guarantee for inside players, but I don't know if the athletic ability of No. 29 will be affected.

This is also a place that Zhang Weiping is very concerned about tonight.

If it is affected, it is better not to have this tonnage.The gain outweighs the loss.

"Yeah, Tang needs to be suspended for 6 games in the regular season because of what happened in the Western Conference finals last season. We need to be patient to wait for his debut this season." Meteor Rain said: "But we believe that Tang Qian will perform better this season. OK."

……

In the United States, TNT is in charge of commentating this game, and the commentators are old friends Charles Barkley + Kenny Smith.

Because the Timberwolves joined the famous NCAA rookie Towns this season, their style of play has also changed a lot from last year.In the past, their style of play was mainly from the outside line, conceding a lot of points and scoring unstable.The rebounds were also blasted miserably.This season, the old coach Saunders was going to adjust to a combination of internal and external play. Unfortunately, he was knocked down by the disease before he had time to implement the training. Even after Hodgkin's lymphoma surgery, he could not save him. life.Two days before the regular season of the Timberwolves' 15-16 season, Philip Sanders passed away due to illness.

Before the game, many people tweeted their condolences, and the big screen at home of the Los Angeles Lakers kept broadcasting all kinds of things about the old coach during his lifetime.Garnett said he was the saddest among them. He posted a photo of Sanders sitting in the parking lot of the stadium that Sanders often used late at night, saying that the latter asked him to come back but when he came back the latter was no longer there.

Anyway, on this day, the new Timberwolves coach Sam Mitchell has no sense of presence at all.

There is no way, how much time did Philip Sanders coach the Timberwolves?From 95 to 05, plus the whole year of last year, how could Sam Mitchell have this qualification?Garnett was trained by the former alone, so you have to hold back your discomfort.Although Mitchell also stayed with the Timberwolves for several years as a player, he still has a difference from Sanders after all.

But this season, Sam Mitchell also thinks that Philip Sanders' original plan is good. He joined Towns, an NCAA absolute star insider, and the team already had a top pick in the outside line, Wiggins, who would not play. "Combination of inside and outside" is too bad.But this "combination of internal and external" also depends on how you train and use it.For example, his training method is very bad, too much emphasis on star singles, and the "stars" of the Timberwolves are still young, new and immature. It is conceivable that such a coaching strategy will be the ultimate goal. how bad.There's a reason why this guy was dismissed after one season.

Messy offense and even more messy defense, especially the latter, let the young stars who joined the team and are still growing into a very bad habit.Heavy offense light defense.This is not a good thing for Wiggins and Towns.

Especially the latter, as an insider, the defense and rebound protection are not good, and the upper limit in the future is very limited.

There is nothing to say about the scrimmage, Tang Qian is not there, Thackeray is in charge of the center, and Downs easily dials it down. This young man does have the capital to be proud.It is not unreasonable to be the champion of this session.Downs' height and wingspan are not bad, but it still depends on who he compares with. Compared with Tang Qian, he is not in the same order.Thank goodness he won once in 10 scrimmages. It is estimated that the latter either has a fever or a cold.The Timberwolves kicked off and ran first.People are looking forward to the final performance of this Lakers team, but at the beginning, it was "surprised".

The Timberwolves start off with a turnover, Rondo picks up the ball, settles down, gestures for the team to push, and…

I'll go~ Do you want to do this~ The starting point guard of the Timberwolves looked at Rondo on the opposite side and was a little speechless:
Nima, what are you doing so slowly after halftime?There are no defenders over there?Are you kidding me?

Is the invisible man guarding you?Or is air resistance guarding you?I said, can you hurry up a little bit.

But Ricky Rubio's inner voice didn't have any effect. Rondo still dribbled forward steadily, not in a hurry.In fact, this is basically the first step in the tactical system of all slow-paced teams.Slow down at the source.Let all players get used to this "slow" rhythm. Only when they are "slow" physically and mentally can they not play anxiously and can curb the opponent's rhythm.This is an overall thing. It doesn’t mean that you can go fast and play slowly after halftime. Larry Brown’s request is very simple. From the bottom of your heart, you all slow down for me, and you don’t need any speed.

This is a very clever style of play. The Pistons in 04 were the typical and master of this style of play, and the Hulk in 08 also did the same.So as soon as the Lakers signed Rondo, Larry Brown said that the management was basically satisfied with the operation.

how to say.If it is said that Jeremy Lin and Nash are suitable for a fast pace, and it is easiest to explode their energy in a fast pace, then some point guards are also suitable for a slow pace.For example, Kidd, such as Rondo, let them play fast rather than slow.

So when he saw that the head coach of the Lakers was Larry Brown, Rondo quickly expressed his willingness to join, because he also knew what kind of team he was most suitable to join and what kind of game. The NBA is not a wild field, you just need to be strong, whether it is suitable or not, there is a lot of knowledge in it.Even many players can burst out at a very high level when they switch to a suitable team, but they can instantly disappear when they switch to an inappropriate team.After Rondo went to Dallas, he also understood this truth better, so he knew what system model he was suitable for.

Playing a slow-paced system is far easier to explode your strength than playing a fast-paced system.

That being the case, why not do it?
If we keep going, the off-site endorsements will almost disappear, okay?
It took about 1-2 times longer than halftime in the current league, and Rondo finally reached the territory of the Timberwolves with the ball. Straightforward tactics.Well, that's the second benefit of playing slower.Don't think it's just delaying time. Anyone who has this idea is too sweet. In fact, the time that slowly passes halftime is the time left for the rest of the players to take their positions.Especially some big men and veterans need such a rhythm to take care of.To use the simplest analogy, the Lakers' sister-in-law Jia couldn't continue to play in the Lakers' faster and faster system, and the data continued to decline. What happened to the slow-paced Bulls?Immediately he rose up, just like a different person.That's why.

Although Tang Qian can ignore this for now, and the fast pace is OK, there is no doubt that the slow pace is more suitable for all players to take positions. When Rondo comes over, he can execute tactical operations without being too anxious.

After Rondo came over, he made a wing cut, and Butler hit the basket. Although the ball didn't go in, it caused a defensive foul by the Timberwolves. Butler made 2 free throws from the free throw line.The Lakers took the lead to start the game.The Timberwolves really want to play "combination of internal and external".But Sam Mitchell's direction is a bit "off the mark". He let Wiggins play singles from the beginning, which is a bit confusing.Butler saw Wiggins play singles as soon as he came over, and immediately put up a single defense. This year Butler's body is a bit stronger than last season, but Wiggins is a little too thin. He only weighs 2 pounds in 203CM. What about Butler? ?This year has reached 200 pounds. This tonnage is very strong for his height, but it is still not his peak.

231 pounds, this is Butler's tonnage limit, and the original space-time future has indeed reached this figure.

5-6 lbs of tendon meat is not fat from high body fat, and has a completely different impact on the body.

So with a physical contact, Wiggins is at a disadvantage. His strength and physique are still poor, so he can only choose to pull it up and directly rely on extraordinary flexibility to shoot.After all, Wiggins' ricochet was one of the highlights of his draft last year.Butler's defense is difficult to enter the first defense. The biggest problem is this. His defense of such direct pull-ups and face-to-face top shots is not very effective, and the interference is not strong enough.Why do you ask?I wipe, Jimmy Butler burst into tears, isn't it caused by this damn "little short hand"?If his wingspan is not about 202cm (in fact, it is not even close, the exact value of the wingspan is only 201.93cm, what about the standing height? It is only 257.81cm) If his wingspan is about the same as that of Leonard of the Spurs at 221+, Then his defense is definitely not what it is now, and the upper limit will undoubtedly be higher.Butler's defensive footwork is fast and strong enough to withstand people, but the interference with this kind of ball is indeed flawed.His standing touch height is only 257CM, not even 258CM.This data is not as good as Kobe.

Kobe is much shorter than him. In fact, Kobe has no bare feet of 198cm, but he has N defenses. His wingspan of 211cm and standing reach of 267cm are his natural advantages. (Wingspan and standing height are not necessarily related, there are many determining factors, such as shoulder width, neck length, head size, etc. For example, Nick Young's wingspan is longer than Kobe's, but his reach is not as good. Kobe's reach is absolutely the best in history, so don't doubt it. Do you really think his hardware is poor?) Butler stands taller than Kobe It is almost 10cm shorter, which is really a great tragedy.

Therefore, there is also a legend circulating in the "jianghu" that the best way to deal with Butler is to shoot in the face.

Across his head, just cast wow~
