Chapter 1261 This is not a simple regular season

Gasol and Tang Qian had a little exchange after the game, but no one knew what they said.But there are some things that still make Gasol quite moved.He is about to end his contract here, and then he will become a completely free agent.The so-called completely free agent, everyone understands what it means.Just want to join any team can, there are no restrictions at all.And Gasol has repeatedly stated that he wants to join a team that can win the championship, and the Bulls were his favorite at the time.When Kobe Nash retired, the Lakers' strength plummeted. In addition, D'Antoni's system was extremely unsuitable for him. What he liked was a slow pace. Besides, the Lakers were in a rebuilding situation. There is nothing wrong with him leaving.After all, he didn't know how long he could play at the time, it was just for the last fight of his career.Who knows, when he came to the Bulls, he became a big player himself. Not to mention making consecutive All-Star appearances, he is still in very good condition, which is like a second spring.At the same time, the Bulls fell into a low ebb, but the Lakers went all the way up, and changed from extremely fast to another extreme.

As a result, Gasol was a little moved. Although he was a substitute, he still needed to struggle by himself.

But how the Lakers fans treat him, he knows very well in his heart that he also likes the Lakers, and now the management has completely changed, becoming a more humane "threesome".In this way, Gasol really does not resist returning to the Lakers.

Next year's salary cap will skyrocket, and the Lakers will sign him. It's a trivial matter. If Bosh's situation is not optimistic, he can also go in and supplement.Gasol, you don't think his movement is as good as Bosh, but he is an insider with a long shot.The mid-range distance in his career has reached more than 4%, and the accuracy of the 1-16-foot mid-to-long distance basket has broken through 23%!Although his shooting space requirement is greater than that of Bosh, he is also a good fixed-point open shooter, and in the future of time and space, Gasol also practiced 4-pointers.In this case, coupled with Gasol's inside offense and defense and organizational support, being placed on the bench is definitely a great help.

Of course, the most important thing is that you can win it without paying any price, and there is nothing wrong with it.

If you can mix up a few more rings, and they are all won by the Lakers, then it is definitely a safe Hall of Fame + jersey retirement.And you have to know that the Hall of Fame is okay to say that it is definitely not an easy thing to retire a jersey with the Los Angeles Lakers.This is one of the biggest and most well-established wealthy teams in NBA history. It is not a famous name that can leave a jersey here.

Returning as a veteran, this season, he should basically be a substitute All-Star in the Eastern Conference this year. Going back in this capacity is definitely worthy of everyone in the Lakers.No one will say that he is going to retire.This season he is the ruthless master who averaged 16+11+4+2 per game.How many insiders can get this data now?Especially 4 assists and 2 blocks, absolutely powerful.

If you go back, it will be very popular.

So after Gasol's conversation with Tang Qian just now, he was a little fluctuated.

Although there was not much conversation, Tang Qian said "Why don't you go home" which seemed to be a joke?Let him quite touched.

However, Tang Qian did not report too much hope, because Gasol is still such a strong stat this season, he must be selected for the All-Star bench lineup, and it may not be so easy for him to play the Lakers' bench.But he still lived a little too short in his previous life, otherwise he would definitely know that Gasol joined the Spurs, but he happily accepted the substitute position, and his playing time was greatly shortened.

Since you can play as a substitute after joining the Spurs, why can't you return to the Lakers?With him on the bench, the offense of the entire bench will definitely be upgraded to a higher level.That way, one of the strongest bench lineups in the league must be no problem.

After the game, Rose was a little annoyed, and he had a bad face throughout the interview. Well, he should have a bad face for playing so badly.Because the question asked by the Los Angeles media also made him very angry.The most important thing is that he was suppressed offensively and defensively by Butler, the former younger brother. This is really, extremely embarrassing.So Rose's face is black and black.

Tang Qian once again praised Butler's role, and he began to speak directly: Butler is definitely qualified to compete for the best swingman in the league!The Lakers are lucky to have him here!

After defeating the Bulls, they went back to back directly. Although it was an away game, the Lakers didn't have to move at all.Because, the away game is also in Los Angeles, and it is only at the Staples Center.Since it is Staples, the opponent is ready to appear.City Derby, Los Angeles, Clippers.

After defeating the Bulls, the Lakers currently have a record of 39 wins and 10 losses, continuing their winning streak.

Although it is still not as good as the Warriors and Spurs, there is no way, these two buddies are too perverted, and they both lost in single digits.But the team has also secured the third place in the Western Conference through the recent wave of winning streak.What about the Clippers in the opposite city?Hey, it's not weak either. It's currently 30 wins and 16 losses, ranking fifth in the Western Conference.The main reason is that the competition in the West is too fierce. If this record is placed in the East, then at least it can be ranked third in the East.Alas, hate myself for not being in the East.

In recent seasons, the Clippers haven't changed much in their style of play. It's just such an old style.In other words, the so-called three All-Stars Paul + Griffin + Jordan, you can also be called the "Big Three".This lineup can be said to be capable of both inside and outside, offensive and defensive.You have to know that these people are not the most ordinary All-Stars, they all have the defense and the best team.This kind of all-star is very valuable.

At least it is much better than the kind of star players who only have an All-Star lineup but no best team or best defensive team.

The three All-Stars lead the team to start, and there are a lot of gangsters on the bench. If you really have to compare this lineup, there are few in the league that are better than them.Logically speaking, it has been running in for so long, so it shouldn't be so bad.As a result, I have never made it to the Western Conference Finals.Therefore, their performance proves that they are a strong team all the year round, and they all seem to have a luxurious lineup and are qualified to compete for the championship.The result is that there has never been any year that people have really been optimistic about, and they are not weak when they are strong, and they are not strong when they are weak.I remember that one of the most frequent questions and answers about the Clippers on the Internet over the years is, why does the Clippers seem to have a good lineup, but they always fail to produce results?
This question can go on for many years after Paul came.

The funny thing is that Paul has his own "Western Finals resistance halo".

To be serious, their team leader, Chris Paul, the historical high-level stat king at position 1, as the core leader, has limited ability to lead the team.In fact, leading the team at position 1 was originally a "tiankeng".Why do you say that.To put it simply, the existence of this problem is much longer than the previous Clippers problem.Countless coquettish point guard masters seem to lead their own teams and cannot pass this "ghost gate".Nash, Kidd, Deron, Paul, Rose, etc., a batch of outstanding boss point guards, have collected all kinds of honors and records in the NBA, but... can't touch the golden Larry. O'Brien Cup.Including Curry in the original time and space, it seems that they are relatively unlucky. As the boss, he was taken away by his teammates as the FMVP. This made many sunspots directly claim that Curry is not the leader of the team at all.So let's upgrade the question, why is it so difficult for point guards to lead the team to get FMVP.Who was it last time?Is it "Smiling Assassin" Thomas?Is it the famous "Magic" Johnson?In fact, many people have forgotten that there are still a few in the middle, Billups and Parker.

But they were too inconspicuous at the time, and the statistics were not outstanding, so they were easily forgotten.

They also can't afford to talk about super point guards and point guard masters.There is no problem with excellent first-class, super and master, that is almost meaningless.The point is, many people think that they were not the ones who led the team back then.Their team roles are not so unique and important.

But it is precisely this way that Billups and Parker started in the 90s and continued until 2018, with the only two exceptions.

reason?In fact, it's not that complicated, it's because they are not so "important", so they won the FMVP.

What?tease you?Not really.What super point guards and point guard masters like to do most is to concentrate the ball and control a lot of the team's possession.They don't need to have too many shots, but they must not have less possession of the ball.But in the playoffs, with the change of confrontation and scale, it is actually a flaw.You can't deny that the point guard's ability to take over the game by himself is inherently weak.Even if it is as strong as Curry, it seems to be in the playoffs, and it often declines, which is quite different from the no solution in the regular season.

The second and most important point is that since the super point guard masters have a lot of possession of the ball, once he is blocked, think about what the result will be.The result is far more dire than individual scoring points being defended.If it doesn't work, the team will collapse directly.So to contain these super point guards, sometimes it is equivalent to containing the entire opponent's team.There may even be an "embarrassing" situation where you will suddenly not be able to play.

This is the result of being too dependent on the No. 1 position.

So in many cases, the less he controls and the less important the point guard in the team, the easier it is to win the FMVP.Because you don't control so much and the role of the scene is not so important, it means that you have guarded him and trapped him, and the team has other ways to break the game, so as not to be paralyzed.

Of course, there are more minor problems, but the most important one lies in the core of their team building, Chris Paul.

Paul has too much control, and his ability to take over the game in the playoffs is insufficient, so after so many years, the so-called high-level data is so luxurious, but the reason why the team can't even touch the conference finals.This season, the Clippers have reached a time when they have to break through, otherwise, the fans and management probably won't be able to bear it.It's better to push back and start over if you keep standing still.

The Clippers' chances are running out, and so is Paul.

And this game, to a large extent, affected the historical nodes of the entire original time and space.

What are the specifics, um, keep reading to find out~
"Chris, I'm sorry, our Lakers have risen. Your chances are gone." Tang Qian played 6 games against the Clippers in the Western Conference semifinals last year, and the data is also in the entire 3 rounds of last year. Worst round ever. After 6 games, he only averaged 11 points, 15.7 rebounds, 7.2 blocks and 1.8 assists per game.Compared with the 29 points, 26.3 rebounds, 10 blocks, 1 assist and 0.3 steals in the first round against the Houston Rockets, it is far from the average of 40.2 points per game in the Western Conference finals and the Warriors.Of course, there are also objective conditions. Playing the Rockets is a metaphysical bonus for the unlucky "Warcraft", while playing the Warriors is a direct "god descending to earth".But in any case, 11 points, 15.7 rebounds, 7.2 blocks and 1.8 assists are still lower than Tang Qian's average level last year.

But this year is completely different from last year. The Lakers' team system has changed drastically. What's more, Tang Qian's personal ability, especially his personal offensive ability, has been completely different.The Clippers don't want to limit him so easily.And last year's No. 1 Paul of the Lakers could easily break through, this year, it is absolutely impossible.Rondo's defense has returned to its peak this season, and it is definitely not comparable to last year's Jeremy Lin.It's really not that easy for Paul to fight.Naturally, Rondo and Paul can't make a switch, but the Lakers don't need Rondo to make a switch, as long as they can suppress and weaken the Clippers' No. 1 position.Once the Clippers lose Paul's strong performance, they are basically not far from losing.And the matchup data shows that Paul's hit rate has indeed dropped a lot when he played Rondo.Let's put it this way, if Rondo replaced Jeremy Lin last year, the scoring might be worse, but it would definitely be better to limit Paul, so that the Clippers and the Lakers would not have played in Game [-].

It is no longer realistic to want to grab the Lakers' unstable foothold and quick defensive counterattack.

Larry Brown is not Mike D'Antoni. Believe it or not, you can give it a try.

Of course, Paul would not show weakness easily, and countered: "It doesn't matter whether it rises or not, there will only be one king in Los Angeles in the future."

Tang Qian also smiled and said, "Yes, there must be only one, but it's not you."

"Then come."

"bring it on."

No one knows that this game, which seems to be a simple regular season, will have so many changes and chain reactions.
