Chapter 1227 Professionally built, tailor-made tactics
After defeating the Rockets, the Lakers' record continued to improve, and now it has reached 21 wins and 6 losses, with 10 consecutive victories.

At the beginning of this season, the debate about Howard and Tang Qian has long since come to an end, and no one cares about it anymore, because the answer is obvious.After the game, Taylor was indeed a typical American big girl type. With full of personality, she immediately @科勒.卡达连 said: Sorry kids, obviously this game proved that our tiger is more fierce.

Please help your little kitty.

According to gossip tabloids, Kardashian smashed a TV that night, and I don't know if it's true or not.

This kind of news should be used as an adjustment, just have fun, and Tang Qian didn't take the Rockets this season to heart.

For him, teams that can't make it to the playoffs are not worth paying attention to. Human energy is limited, and a fool will use the same energy to face all teams.It's normal to win. Even he can clearly feel the internal atmosphere of the Rockets.Howard and Harden, the internal and external combination that was crowned with great expectations back then, must be separated after this season, and it is impossible to stay at the same time.

But Tang Qian was not sympathetic at all, because all of Howard's choices were his own, and no one forced him.Especially in this time and space, he actually made a fool of the Lakers in the end, which made Tang Qian even more unhappy.

What is speechless is that the Thunder team ahead of them also won the game. The Thunder team defeated the underdog Suns and still maintained a half-game lead.Barely pressed in front of the Lakers.But this situation will be changed immediately, because the next game will be when the two teams face each other directly.The Thunder won and will stay third in the Western Conference. If the Lakers win, they will replace them.

Therefore, this game between the two teams is a "Western Ranking Match".

No one wants to lose.

The main structure of the Thunder this season is still "double young" + Ibaka inside. The difference from before is the growth of rookie Steven Adams.He and Ibaka are now the Thunder's main inside protectors.But both of them are blue-collar workers.Not to mention Steven Adams, scoring in double figures this season is still far away.Although Ibaka claims that he has left the "blue-collar position" and averaged 15+ points per game last season, that is his peak, and his offensive limit is around 15+.And these two seasons have fallen back, last season was only 14+, this season is even worse, only averaging 12+ points per game.Hit rate and efficiency are also declining.What makes the Thunder's management feel unbearable is that the defense that claims to be Ibaka's foothold has been sluggish in recent years. This season, he has not averaged 2 blocks per game. This is also since his rookie season. For the first time in the season, the blocks were less than 2 times per game.

But now he has practiced 3-pointers, which is a bright spot.

Before the game started, Westbrook joked with Tang Qian, claiming that he wanted the Lakers to sit fourth in the Western Conference.Of course Tang Qian disagreed, and immediately said that the Thunder are more suitable for fourth, and the Lakers' goal is first.Durant's personal ability has actually been declining this season.After the serious injury, his personal ability is not as good as before.In the regular season, it is still not obvious, it is only a sign, and in the playoffs, it will be completely revealed.The ultra-low shooting percentage, ultra-bad three-pointers, physical problems, etc., all made him completely unbearable.Seeing that the league is another super giant, it is about to decline.At this time, Durant...

Anyway, after the Thunder left Harden, the strength of the bench has already declined a lot, all thanks to Durant and Westbrook.

Coupled with the fact that Ibaka's inside protection is also declining, the Thunder no longer have the momentum of previous years.

The record is still in the top four, but anyone with a discerning eye can see the fatigue of the Thunder.

If they don't make some achievements this season, so many teams in the West are about to rise in the future, and their chances will be even slimmer.This is not alarmist talk.Except for the Warriors who turned out last season, the Spurs have also completed the core transition this season, and the Lakers also seem to have great momentum this season.Under such circumstances, the Thunder are a bit stretched.

The management has nothing yet, mainly the players themselves, who can't stand it anymore.

Since James set an example of "grabbing the championship", Durant is also a little itchy.After all, James was only 25-26 when he went to the Heat, what about him now?Almost 28, okay?If it has not changed, in a few years, he will enter the glide path, so Durant is likely to become a tragic figure like Karl Malone.

No, it is far worse than Karl Malone.Because he still has 2 MVP bases anyway, he is in this time and space, but he didn't even get the MVP.If there is no champion, he is definitely not as good as Karl Malone, it is far worse.

Because he has no defense yet, he is not a star who combines offense and defense.

In that case, what awaits him is slowly being forgotten by history. People will only laugh at him for having a star teammate like Westbrook for a long time, and the team is often at the forefront of the regular season, but he has never won a championship.What is this kind of person called?Needless to say, a typical "brush".Can't bring real victory to the team.In that case, the name Durant would be a complete "joke".At least the chance of juxtaposing with those star-studded names is completely gone.

Durant's mentality has been affected this season, and he began to calculate certain things that he had never thought about before.

He didn't want it to end like this, to end like this.

This game was held at the Thunder's home court, and the two sides quickly entered the state. There was no extra politeness, it was just a battle.Tang Qian won the ball easily, and the Lakers entered the rhythm of positional warfare. Although the Thunder's defense averaged the highest point loss per game since 2011, their scoring has also increased this season.Last year's individual training allowed Westbrook to grow a lot, which made the Thunder's firepower look even more vigorous.They also averaged 110 points per game this season, ranking among the top three in the league.

So the Lakers didn't think about playing fast with them from the beginning.

The rhythm of the game should be entered into the competition from the beginning, the sooner you suppress the opponent, the better.

The Lakers played a cross attack, with an inside screen and a forward cut, but Bosh missed a shot and hit the basket.To be honest, Bosh's performance during this period of time can't be called good, and there are even more bad games than good games.Bosh himself was also very annoyed, but he always felt that he was a little weak and depressed sometimes.

Normally, he must have made the shot. The chances were not bad, but tonight, it missed a lot.

The basketball bounced far away and was taken away by Russell Westbrook. After Westbrook's solo training last year, his overall ability has improved in an all-round way.After being "joked" by Tang Qian last season, he actually had a triple-double many times, and rebounds are also a type of triple-double.

But let's be clear, no matter how hard you try, the improvement of Westbrook's rebounding ability is also visible to the naked eye, otherwise you really think you can easily average 10+ rebounds per game?Isn't it a dream?Westbrook's rebounding ability is now the first gear of a guard, and it is even one of the few in history.

The Thunder push fast and play very fast. Their game rhythm is different from that of the Warriors. Although they are fast, they are not strong in control. They often rely on the team's physical fitness and personal ability.The brigade known as "birds and beasts" in the past is not fake.

Talent really goes without saying about this team.

Westbrook made a breakthrough and Rondo defended. This ball is a real burst, which is what is often called a "naked burst" in the field.Without any pick-and-roll or cover, he breaks through with his own breakthrough strength.This kind of ball has made Rondo often struggle to defend in recent years, and Westbrook also used this trick to blow up the latter.But this season, Rondo is no longer the Rondo of previous years. Under Larry Brown's re-training, his 29-year-old body exploded with new energy.Coupled with the addition of a suitable team system, Westbrook's breakthrough did not break through.He was stuck by Rondo.Westbrook chose a straight up and down zombie jumper. The jump was not short, but he was still interfered by Rondo's super long arms.

When playing basketball, Tang Qian firmly stuck in his position and got the rebound.

Anyone who grabbed rebounds with Tang Qian this season felt the tremendous oppression. Adams had no chance of getting stuck, and was instantly locked behind No. 29 of the Lakers.To be honest, Adams is a very hard-working player, very motivated to play, and willing to work as a blue-collar coolie, but he has never had a sense of presence since the first rebound in this game.

Sometimes his face was deformed, and he still couldn't grab a position. On the offensive end, Butler of the Lakers caused a defensive foul on Andre Robertson and made 2 free throws from the free throw line.The Thunder still played well, this is the kind of "flying" that can't control themselves, and it is indeed not bad against some teams whose defensive system is not good enough.But why has it been difficult for the Thunder to play against the Spurs for so many years?Even if the GDP is old, it is very painful to play. If Durant + Westbrook are both at their peak, they will not be able to lead the team.Even their play is still too primitive and too lacking in structure.Popovich has a very accurate example of evaluating the Thunder. It was after a playoff game, the old man said: We didn't play any clever tactics, just waiting for the opponent to make a mistake.We take advantage of these mistakes.

In one sentence, Popovich expressed the true meaning of playing against the Thunder. After all, this team has two star players who are at the peak of their careers. They can help each other create a strong containment force, so it is too difficult to completely defend. It's better to play steadily, adjust your mentality, and wait for these two people to make mistakes by themselves.This is the real "stopping with static" and "preventing strikes later". Popovich's domestic people say that this is not a cover-up.His vision and methods are at the Presidential level in the coaching world.

And who did he inherit from?The answer is Larry Brown.Larry Brown is a man who coaches very steadily and rarely makes mistakes.Such "old ghosts" are all goblins.When he was still in the locker room, Larry Brown said that tonight's big rhythm is to play it safe, just guard against arrogance and impetuosity.Don't worry about this game.But we must take advantage of the opponent's key mistakes.

This is a very correct way to control the big rhythm. The Lakers are stable enough this season and have the capital to "wait for the rabbit" like this.

The Thunder haven't won many strong teams this season, and abuse is nothing to a team that aspires to compete for the championship.Strong confrontation, that is the key.The Thunder's Durant made a shot. There is no way for this kind of ball. It is impossible not to let a ball go in. Durant is a super scorer. Ariza is still too far behind.

It's not that Ariza can't defend well. Ariza is definitely a defensive champion. He is also very famous in the league, but the opponent is too strong.

Defending Durant requires a lot of physical confrontation and team encirclement. It is not easy to do it in the first regular season, and the scale is not enough.

Bosh on the Lakers responded, and the Thunder chased and hit. Westbrook came up with a "European step", and Bosh, who was supporting the defense, went up and hit 2+1.The start was fierce, and the Thunder's two juniors provided strong firepower, which put a lot of pressure on their defenders.Larry Brown quickly made a decision to change the defensive method from man-to-man to open the air to let the opponent come in, but strictly guard the rest of the flanks.

This ball Westbrook broke through. I thought the Lakers would help defend, but unexpectedly, this situation did not happen after he came in. The Lakers players just interfered with his passing route, so that he was properly "wrapped" in a defensive circle. among.This defensive method was specially set up by Larry Brown for Tang Qian.Based on Tang Qian's super ability to protect the basket, he made a bold behavior.

Otherwise, the usual assisted defense is mainly to delay and block defensive interference after the assisted defense comes over. Unlike the Lakers, there is no intention of delaying and defensive interference at all.It's simply blocking Westbrook's passing line.To many people, this actually looks more like an amateur team's amateur style of play, and professional teams rarely make such "mistakes".Not to mention the NBA?

So is it really a "mistake"?Of course not.This is Larry Brown's new defense tailored for the Lakers this season.

It is called the "fragile trap", and many Lakers players on the team often call it "fragile cash".

The meaning is a bit funny, that is, waiting for the other party to "rob the bank".

Because the defense is weak, it looks more like "opening the door and stealing".

When this defensive tactic was first proposed, many Lakers players said it was a bit whimsical, because it also tested the inside players too much, mainly because of No. 29's personal ability to protect the basket.In case of improper operation, Tang Qian will be completely exposed to the opponent's impact, and he will easily fall into the quagmire of fouls.And because no one is blocking or interfering, they are blocking the passing route. It is impossible for someone to go up and help in a short time.

But Larry Brown decided to practice this new defensive tactic despite all the arguments, because the formation of this tactic was not due to his temporary fever, but to study the overall player characteristics of the Lakers, especially the player characteristics of No. 29 in many ways. Finally, a well-thought-out defensive change pattern.If used well, Larry Brown guarantees that this is the nightmare of all players or stars in the league who like to hit the basket.

I still remember that during the first rehearsal, everyone was taken aback.

The ability of the Lakers' No. 29 to protect the inside basket has reached this point, and only hit 10 goals in 3 cuts.

Come on, this is a situation where there is no delay or interference at all, a situation where players can accelerate their impact with all their strength.

Everyone thought it was luck, but when they came back for the second time, the result was even more astonishing, only 10 goals were hit in 2 times.

This, I'm not mistaken, this is a one-man impact. Butler is also an average scorer of 20+ per game this season. Is this shooting rate too bad?You must know that under normal circumstances, his shooting percentage at the basket this season is as high as 6%.He also has a shooting percentage of almost 7% in his career.This 6%.It dropped 4% at once, but all of them were non-interfering shocks...

At this point, everyone really understands that the Lakers' No. 29 blocking talent is terrible.

Tang Qian's ability to block shots has continued to increase as his strength and tonnage have improved again this season. Although they are all 9 crystal bricks, they are obviously better than before.This means that the body is stronger, and its effect is more thorough.

This tactic has been practiced many times later, and it will take more than half a month. During this period, there have even been many complete zero-blocks.That is, none of the 10 balls can be hit.This makes many Lakers players feel horrible.

Especially Butler, who has the most impacts, said that even if he is not with the Lakers in the future, he will avoid confrontation with Tang Qian at the basket.Because, it hurts too much.

It hurt my self-esteem too much.It made him sometimes feel like he was beaten back to middle school.

Now, it is the first appearance of this defensive tactic this season.Larry Brown thinks that the drill is enough, and he needs to put it into actual combat before going to see it.After Westbrook came in, he found that none of the Lakers players came to delay and confront him. He was a little surprised, because some players clearly had the opportunity to come to delay, but they didn't come.

In that case, let me hit the basket with full acceleration, then I'm welcome.

Westbrook didn't think much, and rushed up to the Lakers' basket.

He has always been straight forward, straight up and down, but because of his superb physical fitness, most people in the league have nothing to do with him.

Westbrook had already secured the ball, and within half a second of his shot, there was an accident, and a yellow palm pressed it down in the air.

Nice cap!
