Chapter 1188 It's Time for the Dragon Slayer
The Toronto Raptors, a perennial pseudo-strong team, claim to be strong outside and have a good joint defense inside, but they can only be used to bluff ordinary players.For superstars, it's a mess that can be broken at the touch of a button.I'm not going to lie to you, this team will be broken up by James in the future, and its head coach will be dismissed just after he won the head coach of the year, which is also extremely hard.

It seems that there are many star players in the team, but it is a bit similar to last year's Eagles. Stars are stars, but the upper limit is a bit low.They're just normal All-Stars.Next season, DeRozan can go one step further and become a peak All-Star player or a quasi-superstar.But superstar players, think too much, this team has never had it.

To be disrespectful, Carter was as strong as he was back then, and he was never a real superstar player. Personal honor and team record are all evidence.Being popular is one thing, being powerful is another.Many people may not accept this conclusion, but this is the fact. Carter’s outside dunk ability is the top two or even the first in history. Unfortunately, the real honor of the star level is the best team twice, and the highest is only two teams .There is no defense for a while, the statistics are not particularly explosive, and the ability to improve the team's upper and lower limits is not good enough. It is OK to say that he is a popular superstar, a powerful superstar?Worse.

Still pretty much the same.

This kind of personal honor level, DeRozan can catch up in at most 2 years, and in the world of star players, the most insignificant thing is the number of All-Star lineups.Because you at least need this honor to be a star player. Since everyone is, it is worthless.What's more, Carter's dunking ability has made his popularity too strong, and this moisture is also not small.

It's not that Carter is not good, but it depends on what level of players to compare with. This reference is the key.

Compared with ordinary players and ordinary stars, he still has a clear advantage.

Those who say that they are superstars at every turn sound ridiculous. Is it so easy to become a real superstar and super giant?
How do you grade those honorable players?Is it also at the same level as Carter?

Don't talk about luck, luck is also a part of strength. Even if Carter is not injured, the upper limit will not be too high. The upper limit of scoring is a top scorer. The defense is only in the league.Buckle up feelings and dunks, players with this ability, in every era of the league, grab a lot.

Not for a while, don't mention any superstars, they are really flattering.

It's a bit like our country's "XXX Big Devil" who scored a few points in a game and smiled slightly to gain the trust of the head coach. It sounds nonsensical.

So the gene of a strong team, this team has never really appeared.

When you meet a real star, you have to kneel.

Not to mention that DeRozan is not at his peak this season. His overall data in the team is not even as good as Lowry.

The starting lineup for the two sides is Lowry + DeRozan + Carroll + Scola + Valanciunas, while the Lakers are still Tang Qian + Bosh + Ariza + Butler + Rondo.Although the substitute lineup was temporarily truce due to Pierce and Nick Young, some lineups were damaged, but the main force was unaffected.Tang Qian's main opponent tonight is Jonas Valanciunas.How should I say this center, he is a representative of the average starting center in this league.Not particularly outstanding, but not particularly weak, probably averaged around 12 points, 8-9 rebounds per game, and about 7 block with his 1-foot body.That's all.

There is no assist ability and coping ability, and it is a typical high and low achievement.

There is nothing to say about the scrimmage, the Lakers ball, a small cooperation, Ariza scored a layup on the right.The Raptors want to rely on the containment power of Lowry and DeRozan to play the mid-to-high pick-and-roll with two horns.This set is also one of the team tactical systems that the head coach of the Raptors began to inject into the team last season.However, Lowry hadn't come out of his "fixed role" last season, and his scoring ability was not self-liberated. Until Dwayne Casey named him in the offseason to "let go" and "boldly attack", he Only then can he walk out of the shackles of his "fixed role" and grow rapidly.Why is the Raptors making great progress in the later part of this season?The reason is that they went from only one quasi-top scorer last year to two this year.So all of a sudden, the outside involvement of the entire team is greatly improved, so that the defensive pressure of the rest of the role players is relatively reduced.

However, Lowry's offense is not very good except for the three-pointer. It is OK to deal with ordinary players, and it is easy to be deflated against a strong defender at the No. 1 position.Rondo's career matchup, if the period after the Rondo Kings is removed, that is, the period when the overall defense and Rondo's own defensive spirit are also down, he played against Rondo before and scored much higher than Rondo, but hit The rate is less than 4%.And the assists have been reduced by nearly half. In the investigation of the No. 1 position, he should actually suffer.This season Rondo feels a bit reborn under the Larry Brown system, so the defense is particularly hard-working and feels a bit like returning to the peak, which makes Lowry not very comfortable playing.Especially the three-point shooting that he is proud of this season is not accurate enough, and he missed all the first 3 shots.Let the Raptors' point guard be suppressed from the beginning.

Overall, the Lakers were okay in the first quarter, especially Bosh. Since Tang Qian discussed with Bosh, the latter's performance began to pick up.what do you mean?Simple, Bosh's style of play at the beginning of the season was still D'Antoni's era. He liked to miss three-pointers from the outside too much. But since it is a slow-paced style of play, both sides basically stand still and play without small balls. So much space and opportunities to shoot.The large reduction in offensive and defensive conversions, let him play like this, basically shooting three-pointers against defensive players, so the shooting rate is difficult to pass.Bosh's three-pointers still belong to the fixed-point three-pointers pulled out by the 4th position, top shots and facial shots, etc., which are not his strengths.So the first dozen or so games were played very uncomfortable, as if his state had dropped sharply all of a sudden, and many fans began to criticize him.Tang Qian talked to him about changing his style of play. Bosh was not very happy at first, but the situation forced him. If he didn't change, he might become the "soy sauce star" of the Heat back then.Chris Bosh never wants to wear the title of pseudo-giant in his life.

So he started to increase his mid-range shooting and decreased his three-point shooting.

Use the pick-and-roll and small-scale air cuts to get opportunities, use his height, and make quick shots.

It's not that he changed from "outside play" to "inside play", so Bosh also changed relatively smoothly.

This set of changes made the Raptors a little unexpected. Scola is now at the end of his career and will soon be unable to play in the NBA.Besides, he was not the kind of player who was particularly good at moving and expanding outwards, especially after his pace slowed down.Bosh was one-on-one tonight.Scola was pulled out by him and dropped several times.

Consecutive scoring made Bosh excited, and his defensive enthusiasm also improved.This is the change in the tactical system. In a slow-paced game, because both sides are completely positioned and then attack and defend each other, there are very few three-pointers. Interference a lot.You can see this by looking at the three-point shooting style in the early 21st century. Kobe Bryant and McGrady shot three-pointers like this, so it is considered good if his career exceeds 3%.Because the pure shooters of that era almost didn't get too many shots.On the contrary, this type of outside line that shoots three-pointers from the top and shoots three-pointers is more suitable for slow-paced positional confrontation.And the three-pointer is not like a mid-range shot. The point and position of the shot are easy to judge. For ordinary players, shooting a three-pointer under interference will not have a good hit rate.

Even the strongest marksman in history, Stephen Curry, once he is strictly defended at the finals level, isn't it obvious that his three-point shooting rate will drop?The original time and space 14-15 season finals were 3%, the next season finals were exactly 8%, the next season was 4%, and the next season was 3%.For other players, this may already be very good-looking, but for the number one marksman in history, it is a bit ordinary. Compared with his own original level, it has dropped significantly.This is true of Curry, not to mention the rest.Therefore, in the slow-paced offensive and defensive battles, the middle distance is the strongest ultimate move.

It is not easy to judge the shooting point, the shot is more stable under pressure and interference, the distance from the basket is closer, and the shot space required is smaller... So after the team's big system changes, the original style of play is a bit "out of date" .What's more, Tang Qian didn't let Bosh change it blindly and on a whim, he also thought about it on his own.The basis of this suggestion is that Chris Bosh's original middle distance is very strong and stable.Although it can't be compared with Nuo Tianwang's mid-range shot that can still maintain abnormal hits, it is definitely considered good in the entire NBA history.It is clear from the data. It is clear at a glance that Bosh's mid-range 2-point shooting percentage in his career is close to 4%, and his mid-range and long-range 2-point shooting percentage exceeds 2%.The data in the playoffs is also similar, with 4% going up, which can be regarded as a very stable and strong mid-range shot from the outside.Therefore, even if it can't be compared with the shooting masters of the attacking type, it is definitely enough to find opportunities to shoot in the open space. Tang Qian and himself have never thought about relying on this to attack.It's just a normal round to help the team increase the chances of scoring easily, so that Bosh himself can add an offensive mode that fits the team system.

Facts have proved that the effect is not bad, because the shooting space required by the CIC is smaller than that of the three-pointer and the shot is faster. In addition, Bosh himself is tall, long and flexible in the 4th position, so he can't beat Scola. , When the touch comes, it means consecutive hits.

In fact, this is inspired by Hamilton, the "mask man" of the Pistons in 04.

So Tang Qian knew that CIC is very suitable for Larry Brown's offensive system, so he specially suggested Bosh to practice this aspect, especially the air-cut running position and the catch and shoot after the screen, which is completely similar to that of Hamilton back then. wonderful.It doesn't matter if the effect is not as good. After all, Bosh is still the 4th position, and there are other offensive methods and offensive skills.Just adding a major scoring method that fits with the current team system will be completely different.

The Raptors also made certain changes after calling a timeout. In order to strengthen their defense at this point, they gave up the soon-to-be-retired Luis Scola and changed it to Terrence Ross's defense.It is equivalent to becoming a lineup of one big and four small.Bosh made a breakthrough, but found that the opposite side became a zone defense. It seems that their head coach also knew that Bosh would make a breakthrough.After all, facing Terrence Ross, Bosh's mobility advantage is gone, but the height confrontation has become an advantage.

Breakthrough is a good choice.

After defending the Lakers' ball, the Raptors were ready to play a defensive counterattack. Lowry quickly passed it to DeRozan and wanted to make a personal breakthrough, but Butler on the Lakers blocked it.DeRozan is not as physically strong as Butler, and he can't take advantage of him against him. He is not the kind of person who takes a particularly fast first step. In addition, Butler's defense is really good. His breakthrough was blocked this time. , To continue is to completely deviate from the track, or even a direct mistake.

The ball had to be passed back to Lowry hastily. Lowry made a side pass and wanted to shoot DeMarre Carroll. DeMarre Carroll's physical fitness is still good, plus he is light in weight and has fast steps. , Good at receiving assists.He is a typical athletic dual-strength striker of this era. He is very active, both offensively and defensively, but his technical level is not very high.But, he has practiced a wave of stable open three-pointers for so many years, and it seems that he is ready to transform into a 3D player.

Well, it's a pity that he missed the layup. Tang Qian's inside assist defense is too fast. The Raptors' No. 5 is not a person with delicate finishing skills, so he hit the iron when he was disturbed.Valanciunas took advantage of Tang Qian's absence to get the rebound and made a shot under the basket, but it was a big cap by No. 29's quick return.Rondo of the Lakers picked up the ball. Unfortunately, Ariza was a little impatient for a fast break layup. The basketball slid to the basket and did not hit the net.

Ariza was also very annoyed, but Tang Qian indicated that it didn't matter to him, as long as he defended well.

Because the current Lakers are no longer an offensive team. They are a defensive team. If the offense is not working well, the defense can also make up for it.For this ball, the Raptors still double-positioned at the horns to attract the defense before making the next decision.However, meeting the Lakers means that this set is not easy to use, because whether it is Rondo or Butler, they are both single-defense strongmen, with proper defensive strength, and their single-defense capabilities are very strong. Lowry and Butler DeRozan is not saying that he can't score, but under normal circumstances, their singles efficiency will definitely be greatly reduced.And tactical breakouts seem to be more difficult than singles. The Raptors wanted to play a wing cut and use the striker's off-ball running to disrupt the Lakers' defense, but they found that this did not have the expected effect, because the Lakers The whole is not chaotic, and they are doing their respective defensive tasks in an orderly manner.

There is no way this ball can only be played singles. Time is running out, and if it is delayed, it will be even more rhythmless shots.

DeRozan wants to hit the mid-range shot hard, but Butler's defense is too stable. Besides, the current Lakers have a strong inside barrier, which allows him to reduce distractions. Such defensive focus will undoubtedly be better than in the Chicago is higher inside.It seems that all the players who have partnered with Tang Qian in the future have said so. When the Lakers stand on the inside basket on the 29th, they will feel inexplicably at ease.

Nick Young said it very straightforwardly: If you are hot on the basket, the probability of being "wipe your ass" will increase.

Rondo also analyzed: when he is hot on the basket, the defensive fault tolerance rate will be greatly increased. The bonus is even better than the latter.

It's not that KG is too weak, it's just that the tyrant is too strong.

DeRozan didn't make the shot, which is normal. Larry Brown's defensive system is most inclined to restrain the shooter. When facing the Pistons in 04, there were almost no shooting masters who could take advantage of it.As strong as Kobe, in 04 because of the lawsuits, the breakthrough efficiency was greatly reduced, and it was still difficult to break through projection alone.You must know that Kobe's offensive shooting is already the strongest level in the history of the outside line. Even if the Pistons took advantage of Kobe's "zipper door" that year, their strength is beyond doubt.

DeRozan wants to compete with Kobe?I don't know how far away it is.

The Lakers protected the rebound, a high pick-and-roll, Rondo broke through, Tang Qian followed up, the former threw a high throw behind his head, Tang Qian caught the ball and dunked, bang~, a perfect lob match.Tang Qian and Rondo clapped their hands together. The tacit understanding of this team is also gradually improving. It is estimated that after a while, the running-in should be basically completed.

At that time, it was when the team really showed its fangs.

In the first quarter, because the Raptors' horns were broken, they played very hard, with 11 points in a single quarter, and they were 11 points behind the Los Angeles Lakers in the first quarter.In the second quarter, because Nick Young and Pierce of the Lakers were absent, there was no outside offensive point, but Randall made a breakthrough and rushed to the basket, which also allowed the team to score some points. In addition, Randall made free throws. Big problem, which allowed him to score 7 points in a single quarter.But the overall situation is still not good. Without the attacking arrows, the substitute lineup is considered to be the worst performance of the Lakers this season.The Raptors used Scola + Biyombo to form an offensive and defensive interior combination, which is considered to be effective. Randall is very active in defense, but he still has a problem, that is, he likes to jump too much. Liuskola took advantage of it severely, shaking it continuously, deceiving Randall a little dizzy.

Tang Qian watched from the audience, shook his head and said with a smile: "It's still too young."

After the head coach of the Raptors replaced Randall with Biyombo, the effect was more obvious. Randall's offensive methods are still too simple, basically just punching and rushing, and there is no finishing technique at the basket. If you don't have a defensive insider with a better defense and a longer arm, you will suffer.When Tang Qian played again in the second quarter, the Lakers were only 3 points ahead of their opponents.

But it seemed to Tang Qian that he was not worried at all.

After all, he didn't use much force tonight, so he should drive away the enthusiasm of his teammates first, and then fight by himself.

The strategy of the regular season is roughly the same for Tang Qian this season.

So now, it's his turn to make the move.

Well, the Raptors, now it's the turn of the Dragon Slayer Warriors, you guys, should you be ready?

I'm here!
