Chapter 1200 Rondo has become a real defender?

The Warriors played so exquisitely that many people feasted their eyes, but the Lakers also made adjustments.After the timeout, Larry Brown's tactical strategy was strictly implemented. After the offensive end missed a shot, he immediately retreated and ignored the offensive rebound. This made the Warriors less likely to try to find a misplaced switch.Then on the defensive end, Rondo stared at Curry, and Butler stared at Klay Thompson. After the pick-and-roll, he adopted a strategy of switching defenses and replenishing defenses.

It is best to force them into the inside shot, which can actually interrupt the previous outside touch.

Moreover, the Lakers' defensive system is very good, and because of Tang Qian's existence, they can force their opponents to the inside as much as possible, block one side, put it aside, and let the opponent try to get as close as possible to the Lakers' No. 29 side.Doesn't this look a lot like a defensive mode for the Spurs?Hey, let alone, it is true, but the final defensive barrier of the Spurs is Tim Duncan.However, this defensive mode was not created by Popovich. It was originally Larry Brown's masterpiece. It's just that Larry Brown didn't stay in the Spurs for a long time, so he didn't have any reputation.Popovich just carried forward this and turned it into one of the Spurs' 20-year defensive magic weapons.

The Lakers' defense has taken effect during this period, with faster positions, faster rotations, and a clearer defense against pick-and-rolls, all of which have curbed the Warriors' scoring state to a certain extent.The Lakers are slowly narrowing the score difference.

When Cole saw this, he took advantage of the situation and made a change. Didn't you want to rush to the outside line first after being picked and rolled?That's great, then I'll let you pounce and tie yourself up.how to do?After Green gave the outside pick-and-roll, the outside pass went out, and Green popped up a three-pointer.

This set actually made it impossible for many people to defend, especially when Curry and Thompson came to the touch, it was really a small open space and they had to shoot.So on balance, they can only bet on Green, betting that Green will not shoot.How to put it this way, other seasons are easy to say, but this season is completely looking for shots.why?In the Warriors' 73-win season, do you know what Green's three-point shooting percentage is?He is only in the early 3s and 2s in his career, which is actually not bad. After all, he has no chance to attack tough shots, but it is definitely not accurate.In the 73-win season, Green's sudden evolution at this point is also a key factor for the Warriors to become unstoppable.Not to mention anything else, this season Green's three-point shooting percentage is close to 38.8%, close to 3%, just ask if you are afraid.This is already close to 9% of the top three-pointers.I don't know how much taller than he is usually.So if you want to let go of Green this season, it is to find a shot.

Green, who has reached the peak shooting percentage of his career in three-pointers, really dares to shoot you to death.

Especially the Green's top-arc ball-holding tactics they played, as long as Green's three-pointer is on the line, it is extremely difficult to disintegrate.

So...Green made a three-pointer, swiped, and scored again, breaking the momentum of the Lakers to narrow the score gap in one go.

This is tantamount to breaking a part of Larry Brown's arrangement. Larry Brown looked a little gloomy when he saw this, but he didn't choose to call a timeout, because with the current lineup, it is impossible to cover everything.Because there is a point of defensive rotation is a problem, a problem that is usually invisible, but when facing a super strong team, it will be highlighted.However, this point is one of the star players in the team, and the scoring firepower is an important point, so...

I can only bet that Green missed the shot. After all, Green is much less threatening than Curry.

The game has entered a stage that is not very good for the Lakers. If it continues like this, it is not a good thing, so someone must stand up and score.Withstand this wave.Tang Qian has slowed down for a long time and asked for the ball again. Now the Lakers need the success rate very much.And the No. 29 of the Lakers is the biggest success rate guarantee for the entire Lakers.When there is an urgent need for stable scoring, Tang Qian has gradually become the Lakers' number one scoring point this season.

Green still wanted to repeat the old trick, put on a fake defense, and let Tang Qian pass the ball, but Tang Qian ignored the ball, and hit Bogut hard.Bogut is really speechless, he is also an excellent defender in the league inside anyway, even if he has no defensive ability this season, he is definitely not bad.After all, there are only two positions in the defensive formation of the center forward, and the competition for other positions is obviously greater.But he really can't do anything about the number 2, he can't do anything from the beginning to the end of this game, and the most annoying thing is... Sometimes he knows how the opponent is going to fight, but he still can't do anything.

Just like this ball, he has judged it, but what?The opponent makes a "tank breakthrough", and he will go up if he pushes against it.

It's just as hateful as the number 23 of the Cavaliers.

No, it is more irritating and shocking.

The Warriors used a lot of pick-and-rolls or illegal screens to make the Lakers' defense very unstable, and it seemed that it would hit the "wall" everywhere without paying attention.It feels extremely uncomfortable, but it is one of the magic weapons of the Golden State Warriors this season.

Larry Brown was slightly shocked by the power of this set of tactics. He admitted that he still underestimated this "second-year rookie coach" and the tactical evolution of the new era. Some things exceeded his expectations.For the first time this season, the Lakers' defensive system tends to be broken.Larry Brown began to get serious, not just for this game, but also for the subsequent competitions with the Warriors and even the playoffs.This team is much stronger than he imagined, and it can be regarded as one of the strongest system teams he has ever seen.The tacit understanding of the Lakers team has not reached the level of the Pistons in 04, and the more they deal with this kind of super team without the ball, the more they need the tacit understanding and chemical reaction between the teams, or... a strange move? .

But now, what to do?
Larry Brown became unusually quiet, watching the scene with his eyes motionless, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

The Warriors missed the ball, and the rebound was protected by the Lakers. The Lakers gave it to Tang Qian and continued to play inside.

Tang Qian attacked from the basket, and Green assisted in the defense, but he was still punched in, and it was still a powerful dunk.

Green fouled, went to the free throw line, made an extra penalty, missed, and the Warriors attacked.

The Warriors had another mobile pick and roll, and Rondo was so angry that he was going to explode. He was knocked sideways, and he could only watch Curry take a step forward, shoot the ball, and brush~, fortunately, it was only a long 2 points, otherwise it would have been even more important. Depressed to death.

During this period of time, the Warriors have developed a unique skill, and it has become very difficult to completely prevent them, at least it is impossible now.Tang Qian knows what to do, now he needs to counterattack, stabilize the situation, and wait for the Warriors' shooters to feel better.Other than that, there is no other way.The Warriors took advantage of the team's more mature and tacit understanding. The more they play off the ball and cover more, the more they need the entire team to defend and contain it.The test is not just a certain person.

But the team understanding and team maturity of the Lakers is obviously not as good as that of the Warriors. This is usually not obvious, but now it seems that it has suddenly become a fatal gap.Other teams can't catch it, but the Warriors can.

People need to stand up, otherwise the game will be over soon.

Tang Qian began to play low singles continuously, and Bogut even tried to go forward, but the number 29 is not Yao Ming, his athletic ability is the strongest in the entire history of the NBA. If you want to use the front to guard, then really Just send points.Tang Qian directly asked Rondo to make a deep pass, and he dunked the ball as soon as he got the ball. Green gave up taking the ball because it was impossible to defend.

The Warriors had a double screen on the flanks, and Curry drilled out, preparing for a three-pointer, which attracted two players from the Lakers to cull immediately.But don't forget, Stephen Curry, in addition to being a super scorer, he is also a No. 2 player.As the No. 1 position, have you forgotten to pass and divide the ball?He is not the kind of fake point guard. Curry's personal pass organization and assist ability is not the best in the league, but it is also good enough to be called excellent.So he saw the opportunity and passed the ball back. Green cut from the wing and flew towards the Lakers' basket with the ball.

He wants to pull up the ball and dunk it. The sprint space and take-off time are sufficient, enough for a big dunk.

Green's desire to perform has never been weak, and this opportunity will naturally not be missed.

But he was only halfway through the flight when he was blocked by a huge figure. It was Tang Qian. After physical contact, his five fingers formed palms and slapped Green's ball away.The Lakers attacked, Tang Qian pushed his back, then quickly turned inside, passed Bogut, and then held the ball with one hand and violently attacked the basket.Bang~
The Warriors' offensive round cut caused the Lakers to foul and made 2 of 2 free throws.

Tang Qian made a low breakthrough and made a hard attack at the basket, causing a foul by Bogut. He also made 2 of 2 free throws at the free throw line.

After playing back and forth several times like this, Cole felt a little stunned, because the Warriors are indeed maintaining their offensive efficiency, and there is no major problem in doing so, but why is the score difference not being widened? ?Isn't that strange?

Logically speaking, it should have entered "garbage time" a long time ago.

Kerr saw No. 29 of the Lakers standing on the free throw line again, and he suddenly realized in his heart that it was No. 29 who was "making trouble".

Interesting, let's see how long you can last.

The Warriors are still the same set of cutting runs + a lot of moving screens, while the Lakers missed a 3-pointer. The opportunity came out, but unfortunately, they didn't make a shot at all.This is also one of the problems of the Lakers. They lack the stability of the three-point shot. The most accurate player in the main lineup is Chris Bosh at the 4th position.Secondly, the main rhythm is also lost. If you don't play a slow pace, the Lakers' three-point problem will become more and more obvious.Originally, it was not a problem to defend OK, but now the defense is a bit ineffective.

Rondo had a clear mind and knew that he had to bite at this time, so he stuffed a lot of balls to No. 29 inside, and let Tang Qian solve the problem by himself.No way, the main reason is that the Warriors not only lead the league in offense, but also lead the league in defense. Their defense is also a very strong member of the league.Therefore, Rondo has no way to directly assist with many balls. An offensive and defensive team is indeed difficult to deal with.

Generally speaking, anyone who knows the ball can see that the Lakers are suppressed by their opponents, and the scene is at a disadvantage.

Because the outside line is not allowed, Tang Qian's defense is getting tighter and stronger, and the defense is getting stronger and stronger. Under such circumstances, even if Tang Qian is vigorous, it is impossible to keep all the balls in.After finally making a foul, the Lakers called a timeout.As soon as he came down, Larry Brown said: "Substitute later, go to Nick, Jimmy, come down and rest first."

Nick Young for Butler?Why? ? ?
Can anyone tell us why?Nick Young himself felt a little unbelievable.

Larry Brown looked at Nick Yang who was still a little confused and opened his mouth and said, "If you can't play well, you don't want to play, you understand?"

"Uh, I know, I got it." Nick Yang nodded upon hearing this, but he still didn't understand why.

Larry Brown took out the tactical board and said: "Don't look at me, look at the tactical board. The Warriors played too well, and their cover really made me feel uncomfortable, but the referee didn't blow the whistle and there was nothing I could do. Complaints are an afterthought. Now we have to do this..." Larry Brown said while drawing the tactics: "Do you understand?"

This, this is?To attack?Want to attack? ? ?

No, isn't it?Isn't this old stubborn the most advocating defense to win?Taking the wrong medicine?
Larry Brown seemed to have guessed what everyone was thinking: "Defense can't win now, and offense can't work. Let's talk about it after this period."

Let's talk about this again?But, can we get through this period?They are all professional players, and they are very clear about the horror of the team in front of them. It is estimated that there are really few teams that can stop them in the regular season this season.Lakers, okay?
"The inside offense is the main focus, and the rest wait for the ball. Whoever goes to help defend will shoot a three-pointer."

So Nick Young was replaced to increase the power of the three-pointer?Nick Young has made over 4% of his three-pointers this season, and he is indeed the one with the highest three-pointer percentage in the current Lakers team.If you want to strengthen the three-pointer, this point is understandable.

"Besides hot, get ready to shoot threes, you're Rajon too, didn't you say you have a secret weapon to show everyone? Now, I think it's time. Our season, the Warriors, is the enemy Rondo was taken aback, he looked at Larry Brown and said, "Sir, are you sure you want it now?" It seems that this so-called "secret weapon" Rondo only told Larry Brown.

"Right now, we don't need to keep secrets against the rest of the teams." Larry Brown seemed to have high hopes for this Lakers team: "We don't have many opponents this season, and the one in front of us is one."

These words are domineering, as if there are few teams in the entire league that he likes.

If you give him a suitable lineup and cards, he really has this ability.

"Okay~" Rondo said with a smile: "Then let's try it, I've been impatient for a long time, Mr. Brown."

When he was playing, Nick Yang couldn't help but ask, "Rajon, what's the secret weapon? You still have a secret weapon? It's so big?"

"I'll find out later." Rondo said, "I practiced hard for an entire offseason just to swell the faces of some people from the outside world." So Nick Young became even more curious: "Just Can't you tell me first?"

"No." Rondo refused without giving Nick Young any room to discuss.

Tianchao Sports Station.

"Now the Lakers are in crisis, and they rely too much on Tang Qian." Meteor Rain said.

"The more you can't open the outside line, the more pressure you will put on the inside line, and the opponent can also defend smaller and smaller." Zhang Weiping said: "Since there is no way to stop them at this time, we need to keep up with the offensive end. Tang Qian alone Man, this is too tiring."

Tang Qian re-entered the free throw line and made 2 of 1 free throws, but this ball was the first free throw missed, so the Warriors opened the baseline.

The Warriors were still the same. After a pass, Curry took too much attention from the Lakers. The ball was given to Green. Bosh couldn't defend well, and Green scored a three-pointer.

"Very good, beautiful three-pointer, I have seen the goddess of victory in this game beckoning to us~"

"If the Lakers can't keep up with this paragraph, they will be taken away by us."

"Like taking away the previous 15 games?"

"Yeah, it's like taking away the previous 15 games."

Tang Qian held the ball. As soon as he was about to act, he found that at least 2 people were following him to help defend.Tang Qian scored the ball very quickly. It depends on whether the outside line can go in. Nick Young catches the ball, makes a three-pointer, hits it! ! !
"Yes! I really am Mr. Never Miss~haha~" Nick Young is still such a treasure, but his three-pointer is very life-saving, let the Lakers' outside firepower re-declare, it's not like we can't make a shot.It's not good for the Warriors to suppress Tang Qian so much anymore, right?

The Warriors played the "ATO.Rop tactic", the full name is "After.Time.Out.Rpo", this tactic is a tearing tactic mixed with a large number of pick-and-rolls and screens.The main reason is that after the shooter circles out, it turns into a cover wall during the air cut. When you are prepared, the effect may not be good. After all, the size and size are there, but suddenly it can have an unexpected effect.For example, when Curry raised the baseline, it suddenly turned into a screen wall in the elbow area. Both Lakers players were restrained by him, and then Bogut on the other side of the screen wall became a free hand.

"Hot, you are going to lose." Curry directly demonstrated to Tang Qian, because in his view, the rest of the people did not have the qualifications.

The Lakers attacked the ball, and Tang Qian held the ball in a low position, but found that the opponent had adopted zone marking and single-point defense from the outside.That is to say, the low post inside is still shrinking defensively, but one person is assigned to guard Nick Young of the Lakers.Cole's response was really quick, basically not giving the Lakers a second chance just now.Pass the ball to Bosh. Green's counterattack is too fast, which can easily cause a time-wasting dead ball situation. Bosh now wants to hit Green one by one, and it is difficult to score.Green has been the first defense in the original space-time alliance in the past few seasons.With Bosh now, the singles success rate will not be too high.

Ariza also has Thompson going to take care of him at any time. It seems that the defense is perfect, but there are still loopholes.

It's this loophole. From Cole's point of view, it shouldn't be a problem.

That is the No. 1 position of the Lakers, Rajon Rondo. Rondo is basically released. If he does not enter the three-point line, there will not be much defensive attention on him at all.

This is like a cartoon called Slam Dunk. The Lakers are somewhat similar to Xiangbei. The most accurate points on the outside are taken care of one-on-one. That is, no one is 1 meters in front of you.How similar is this to Shonhoku Miyagi in the manga?There is no basket.

I just want to let you go.

If you let go, you can strengthen the defense elsewhere, can't you?

angry?depressed?Who told you not to allow it?Who can blame?James was targeted for his unstable mid-range shot, let alone Rondo.

Steve Kerr saw the ball in Rondo's hands at the top arc, and smiled in a low voice, "Mr. Larry Brown, I won this game." After finishing speaking, he was stunned for a moment, Because the most unlikely point on the court, unexpectedly, actually shot a three-pointer from the top of the arc?Is this a gamble and a gamble on luck?

Not just China Sports.The American media and netizens who watched the live broadcast on the Internet also cried out in great sorrow:

Langshen, don't, just be your "Miyagi" well, don't learn to do what other "Mitsui" should do!
Ruined!Rondo actually made all the shots, and it was still a three-pointer. It seems that the Lakers are really in the end.

The Warriors are too strong, as expected of a team without a defeat this season, can the Lakers not cause trouble for them?

Bay Area champion this year! ! !

The on-site commentator of the Warriors even started to celebrate in advance: "Rondo made a three-pointer, the Lakers are going to give up on themselves, right? It's a pity, they are the opponents we have fought the most this season. I originally Thought it would last at least until the fourth quarter."

"It's ok, after all, I've persisted for so long, I still have to give them a thumbs up, buddy."

"Rondo made a three-pointer, oh~ what a wonderful arc, I seem to have heard the iron... huh? In? In?"

Warriors broadcaster Bob Gerrard nearly got his tongue stuck.

Rondo patted his palm with a "self-surprised" expression, which made people want to beat him up.

This should be luck.

Not only did everyone in the audience think so, but Cole also thought so. After the Warriors missed a shot, the defensive end continued to play just now, with inside area defense + one man on the outside marking Nick Young.Tang Qian saw the opportunity and passed back to Rondo at the top of the arc. In front of Rondo, he was still within 2 meters and no one was marking him.Even Green said loudly: "Let him vote! He wouldn't dare to vote anyway!"

This is to want Rondo to make a shot, because Rondo's three-pointer is basically nothing.

At least it used to be.

As a result...swipe~ I entered again~
This, this is embarrassing.

Even the entire Lakers team got a little excited and said, "Damn it, are you lucky or have you really practiced three-pointers?"

"This is your secret weapon?"

"From now on, I can't call you Long center anymore, I should call you Long guard."

Rondo also pretended to look down at the sky at 45 degrees: "I am actually a natural shooter, but I didn't work hard before. Now everyone is forcing me, and I can only reluctantly do it."

Although he owes a lot in this way, it has to be said that Rondo's activation outside the three-point line allowed the Lakers to recover their energy, and also disrupted the Warriors' plan and attempt to end the game early.

Tang Qian himself was a little surprised, but if he lived an extra year in his previous life, he would definitely know that starting from this season, Rondo's three-pointers have been officially promoted and officially become an item in the arsenal.This season's three-point shooting percentage reached a career high, 36.5%.With such a hit rate, if you put him 2 meters, he will naturally be projected.What about next season?The original time and space even reached 37.6% of the three-pointers.Even in the 17-18 season, Rondo made more than 4% of his three-pointers in the playoffs!He became one of the biggest contributors to the Pelicans' ability to break through the first round that year.

The shots around 2+ are not high enough, but at least it is much better than the previous average of a few tenths per game. If you let him go for an open three-pointer, he still dares to shoot and go in.

Can Rondo make three-pointers?In this world, in this future, what is impossible?

To win this game! ! !
