Chapter 1241 Fighting Alone Against Two Young Masters (Tomorrow's Eruption~~)

Substitute time Because Pierce and Nick Young of the Lakers have not yet returned to the team, the team's offense is a little weak, and the defense is not as strong as in previous games.Although the Thunder left Harden and Reggie Jackson as substitutes, they were replaced by newcomers.Dion Waiters, No. 2012 in the first round in 110.You can get ten points per game.He is also a major outside scorer on the Thunder's bench.Although the Thunder's defense has plummeted this season, their offense has improved, averaging [-]+ per game. Except for the Warriors, few teams can overwhelm them.It is impossible for a team with such a high score to rely on only one Thunder team.In the Thunder's main lineup, the rest of the scorers are relatively mediocre, and the contribution from the bench is crucial.

The Thunder played well on the bench, Dion Waiters + Enes Kanter in front, the two of them are the main scoring guarantees for the Thunder's bench lineup.And it is still one inside and one outside, complementing each other, without restricting the ball.The Lakers wouldn't be afraid if Pierce and Nick Young were here, and their defense would be much better, but now that they're not here, the offensive and defensive strength of the bench lineup is greatly reduced.

Enes Kanter had no choice but to meet Tang Qian, but as soon as Tang Qian went there, he immediately became alive and well.

All kinds of scoring helped the Thunder quickly tie the score.

Tang Qian didn't take a rest when he saw it. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether he rests or not in the state of "god descending to earth". He just rests and rests as usual, and doesn't want to appear too obvious.But the opponent caught up with the score, Tang Qian couldn't sit still immediately, and directly applied to play.Larry Brown originally disagreed, but Tang Qian said that he was in good shape today and was not very tired at all. Larry Brown reluctantly agreed to the former's request to play after only one minute passed.

This is the "stubbornness" of an old academic like him. He has never spared no effort to protect players in the regular season.

Seeing Tang Qian playing early, the Thunder were slightly surprised, but their head coach was calm. Instead, he told all the Thunder players in the bench area: It's a good thing that the Lakers are on the 29th this morning.The Lakers lacked independent scoring points in this game, we just need to guard against the rest.If he is tired, that is our chance.

There is really nothing wrong with saying this under normal circumstances, but right now... this is definitely a wrong estimate.

Tang Qian continued to attack as soon as he came up, beating Enes Kanter violently, making 4 of 4 shots, plus 4 of 2 free throws, and scored 10 points.At the same time, he brought the Lakers a huge advantage on the defensive end after he played.First of all, Enes Kanter "wilted" again. Without a long-distance shooting range, his inside offense is only so good. It is extremely difficult to defend against Tang Qian's basket.

All of a sudden, Dion Waiters was the only main scorer on the bench for the Thunder. Dion Waiters scored well when he was off the bench, but his shooting percentage was low, and his career was only 4%. Even more miserable, only 1%.This may be passable on the bench, but if you want to compete with the Lakers' No. 3 in success rate, it is really self-destructive.After the bench time passed, the Lakers began to gradually replace the team's main force, and the Thunder began to lose support, immediately suspended, and began to replace the main lineup.

Thunder Shuangjun returns again.

Dion Waiters is okay, but Enes Kanter, the main substitute on the inside, is eager to get off the court immediately, and he panics when he sees Tang Qian on the court.This is an "absolute suppression" that can be felt physically.He has nothing at all.All rebounds and points have become data that are hard to get once.He thought so, why didn't Steven Adams think so?

He thought to himself, how much better do you think brother is than you?Look at brother, as a starter, his statistics are even worse than yours.Is there any.

You can still score points during the bench time, what about me?I never had the chance.

But it was time to play. Slowly, the head coach of the Thunder team began to realize that something was wrong.Because this Easterner has been scoring, and also insisted on high-quality defensive basket protection on the defensive end.This, are you kidding me?

Can ordinary people do this?Can it last this long?His physical fitness is historical level?

The head coach of the Thunder, Billy Donovan, looked at Tang Qian's per-game statistics and found that he didn't play that much. It won't be there in 40 minutes.So, how is this possible?It must be strong!right!It must be so!
We just need to hold on a little longer!

Then in the third quarter, Billy Donovan's mentality became unstable, because in the third quarter, the Easterner was still leading the Lakers scoring.As long as he doesn't assist in defense and double-team, the number 29 on the opposite side will decisively fight inside.It's not long in the third quarter, he scored almost 40 points, okay... Wow, it's already 40 points! ! !

Nonsense, if you play single defense against a historical scorer, aren't you courting death?
Tang Qian's current state is still one of the strongest scorers in history. You are really thinking too much if you use a defensive line that has no one to defend alone.If you really do this the whole game, Tang Qian's score in this game will go out of the sky.Don't go one-on-one with historic scorers, Billy Donovan made a big mistake tonight.

But he really doesn't believe that someone can do this, attacking and defending in one, or continue like this?This is an inside line.The defense of the inside players, especially the center, must be defended almost every time someone comes in, unlike the time when the outside line can be lazy.The number of defenses and the intensity of defense are far higher than those of perimeter defenders.Therefore, no matter how strong the outside defensive players are, it is impossible to become the defensive core of a team, which is what it means.Even a super master of perimeter defense like Jordan Leonard is the same.

Difficulty is obviously different.

But what does he see now?He didn't see any fatigue or physical decline in that oriental man at all.

Is this scientific?Unscientific!So it must be strong!As long as you wait any longer, you can definitely kill him!
This is really unlucky for the head coach of the Thunder team. After the "god descended", Tang Qian's physical fitness has reached the peak physical state of Chamberlain.Chamberlain himself may not be able to maintain this state for long. Although he has the best physical fitness in history, there are always ups and downs.Therefore, it is really not too easy to play a Steven Adams inside in the era of withering centers.

tired?nonexistent.Tang Qian was not tired at all.

At this time, Westbrook said in a timeout: Coach, aren't we double-teaming?At the very least, we must use a large-scale defense, right?That Eastern center is not easy to mess with.But Billy Donovan chose to shake his head, because he stubbornly believed that he was not at fault, and there could be no such person.It is only a matter of time before the other side falls and disintegrates.This set was actually played by Popovich on Tang Qian back then, and it had a miraculous effect, but... At that time, Tang Qian only had a few physical crystal bricks?How much is it now?What's more, it is still in the middle of "gods descending to earth", so doing this is really suicidal.

Tang Qian had about 3 minutes left in the third quarter and had already scored 50 points. He made it clear that he would not rest.What about the Thunder?The game was a bit confused, it seemed that it was affected by Tang Qian's personal performance, and he was a little out of shape.The Lakers have now scored a total of 70 points, and the Easterner scored 50 points in one go, which is equivalent to more than half of the team's points, and he scored them all.

At the same time, he still has so many rebounds and so many blocks, which makes the head coach of the Thunder feel that he...

Is it a wrong decision.

Among the players he has coached and the opponents he has played against, there are no such people, but it does not mean that there are no such people in the whole world.Maybe the physical and mental state tonight on the 29th is really good?This is not the case.Seeing Tang Qian make another inside foul, Westbrook finally couldn't help it, and asked directly: Coach, are you still using the same trick?Haven't changed the defensive strategy yet?When do you want to wait?Want to be scored 80 points by him?

This remark made many Thunder players agree, and they also felt that going on like this was not an option.Maybe they really just need to persevere a little longer, but...they couldn't afford to wait in their hearts.Being hacked and killed by someone so violently affects the morale of the team too much.Don't you see that the morale of the Lakers is getting stronger and stronger?
Well, let's change the trick.Billy Donovan couldn't resist the players' joint request, so he could only nod in agreement.After all, this is not the NCAA, nor is he the meritorious coach of this team, and he doesn't have that much prestige to convince everyone.As soon as he saw the Thunder team changing their tactics, "Big Shark" Onick said in the TNT live broadcast room:

It should have been like this a long time ago. Against a superstar center, you choose an ordinary one-on-one defense. Isn't this looking for abuse?Mr. Billy Donovan, this is the NBA, not the NCAA.When others are in good condition, you should help to defend vigorously and double-team the defense!
In fact, O'Neal was also very scared. This guy really went crazy and scored 60 points again, so Tang Qian's career 60+ times will surpass him.After all, O'Neal is so strong, and he doesn't score many super high scores. 60+, this is the only time in my career.Only 61 points, not as good as Tang Qian's 64 points against the Timberwolves that night.Even in his career 50+, there are only 3 times.

By this season, O'Neal began to gradually understand why he didn't like the No. 29 of the Lakers so much, and he didn't like it from the first sight.The reason is that his intuition told him that this man might replace him as the greatest center forward of the 21st century.This is absolutely unacceptable to Shaq O'Neal.Because he is proud of this in many interviews.

So in this game, he did not hesitate in his heart and stood on the side of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Seeing that the Thunder kept scoring No. 29 of the Lakers, he was very anxious.His partner Reggie Miller didn't think so much. He just thought that Billy Donovan underestimated the NBA. The individual abilities of players in this league can sometimes defeat a team and a system. of.

Fortunately, Tang Qian missed 2 free throws from the free throw line, which made the Thunder feel a little more at ease.

The head coach of the Thunder also began to change horses, arranging tactical changes for the team.He arranged a "V-shaped" running position at the waist. It seems that the whole team is participating in the offense, but it is actually a tactic to create space for the stars to attack in the middle and high positions.And if there is no chance, you can give the rest of the opportunity to fight again.After all, he is one of the recognized tactical masters in the NCAA. After gradually accepting the reality, he immediately made adjustments.

Through the "V-shaped" movement of the waist, Westbrook got the offensive space, but this ball was defended by Rondo. Rajon Rondo's defensive skills have almost returned to their peak this season.If Westbrook didn't explode like the last match, it wouldn't be so easy to kill him.Rondo's few defensive bursts are not in vain.It's a pity that the basketball hit the front of the circle and was snatched by Thunder's Andre Robertson.Andre Robertson is a typical defensive player, and his position happened to replace the previous defensive general, Tsapo Sefolosha.This type of players is very active, extremely active, which is also the label for them to survive in this league.

Josh Smith was sloppy with the ball, he still has old problems, and he is prone to "wandering" and "drifting" on the court.So often this should not happen.Andre Robertson quickly gave the ball to Durant who was coming over. Durant pulled it up and shot, swiped~, and hit.

To defend Durant, just protecting the basket is not good. He is a super big shooter, mainly shooting and scoring. Sometimes he can not go to the basket once, just shooting to kill the opponent.In addition, he is tall enough, with strong impact and athletic ability. It is not accidental that he was once regarded as the "second child in a thousand years".

It is impossible for a scorer of this level to be blocked. It is only through exhaustion, hand-to-hand combat, and increased defensive intensity and defensive actions that it will be effective.It's a pity that this is the regular season, so it is difficult to implement super-intensive defense against Durant.Forcibly doing this, it must be a foul for you.So this point, don't expect to be able to prevent it.Ariza's defense is not weak, but if he wants to defend Durant, he still thinks too much.At this point, if the opponent's behavior is not particularly abnormal, then it is the best exchange.

The Lakers failed to hit a 3-pointer. Tang Qian got the offensive rebound and was quickly surrounded by the basket.The Thunder's defense is obviously a lot tighter during this period. Although with their team's ability, it is impossible to last for a long time this season, but during this period, the rest of the Lakers players should not even think about scoring easily.In this case, if role players and functional players cannot play, players with the ability to score independently need to stand up and break the game.

The Lakers used to have Tang Qian + Butler + Bosh three points, which are very sufficient, and they can also create defensive restraints for each other.But now, Bosh is reimbursed, Butler has not returned from injury, and there is only Tang Qian left.Opponents can naturally use double-teaming and multi-person defense to reduce Tang Qian's hit rate.The rest of the players only need to rotate to make up for the position, and the defense is almost enough.

Brush ~ Durant scored another one, Ariza tried his best to defend, but the effect was not good.

At this time, Westbrook stole another pass from the Lakers, went down quickly alone, and exploded the basket.

Larry Brown was about to apply for a timeout, but was interrupted by No. 29 shaking his hand, which means...

Very good, then I will meet you.

Thunder Shuangjun.

shall we try?
