Chapter 1436 Competing with him... so painful

Tang Qian's method of running the team is to use the high and low positions as the axis + the high and low positions to cover without the ball. For example, he often blocked a "broad road" for the Lakers players.This is his method.Westbrook relied on his own personal ability to forcibly find someone, force a pass, force a breakthrough, and then directly revitalize the team, which is more straightforward.Both sides were hooked up, and they started to work hard, without showing mercy at all.The rest of the Lakers players are also very supportive of Tang Qian, because No. 29 is aiming for the MVP this season, so this kind of confrontation with the top players on the MVP rankings will not be too "stealing".

Helping Tang Qian win the fight is the key.This is also the prerogative of the boss.

Besides, Tang Qian usually fights relatively selflessly, and occasionally he is so vindictive, everyone naturally has nothing to say and supports him with all his strength.

Tang Qian blocked another opportunity for Ariza, who was running without the ball in the low post, and Ariza immediately threw off the defender and went straight down.The ball handler of the Lakers is Rondo, who ranks third in assists this season and first last year. As the leader of assists for many times, as long as the team gives him enough possessions, he can try his best to repay the team.

So the ball goes in quickly and Ariza makes a shot.

The Thunder are in the middle of the defensive league this season. Adams failed to protect the basket and was scored by the Lakers.

How about "Sea King" Adams, tough, willing to sacrifice for the team, and tall enough, but his basket protection has always been at an average level.In his career, it is exactly about 1 time, and this season is also exactly 1 time, almost falling below 1.It seems like Billy Donovan has more work to do to build a defense that suits the Thunder.

The defensive champion Andre Robertson, who was blocked just now, was going to curse in his heart. This cover, this quality, and this timing judgment are really great!So good that I almost knocked my front teeth out!This Eastern center is too tough!Anyone who hits this cover will feel "vertigo".This is a big man who can support, a necessary skill, just a simple high and low off-ball screen, off-ball support, can allow the team to create a lot of easy scoring opportunities out of thin air.The typical Duncan back then, Garnett back then, Olajuwon, Ewing, Robinson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Chamberlain, and Russell back then are all good players.Including Green of the current Warriors team, and the future "teacher appointment", anyway, will have this skill package, and one person can strengthen the offensive energy of the entire team system.

This is why Tang Qian said before that the Spurs just lost one Duncan.In fact, Duncan has not been at his peak for a long time.So why is it still an indispensable role for the Spurs?It is this aspect of him that is unparalleled. Although he can't score points, he can make the team run smoothly and get scoring opportunities more easily.

This energy cannot be seen from the data.

Andre Robertson is a defensive champion. Looking at his statistics, he can play in the NBA and start the game, relying on defense.At least Uncle Bao Wen and Bao San still have a three-pointer, and he doesn't have one at all.His defensive ability allows him to avoid a lot of inside off-ball screens.But tonight, he's been blocked several times.And every time, it's that solid.

He had only seen this feeling in the previous No. 21 of the Spurs.

This guy's hidden bonus to the team is terrifying.

The Lakers didn't stop Westbrook either, and when the two surrounded each other, Westbrook flashed past them like lightning.Then get out the ball quickly, shoot from the outside, and score.The Thunder's outside touch tonight is still okay.Better and more stable than usual.

Otherwise, the Thunder will not be able to bite now.

It's a pity that the Thunder team still has poor staffing after all. Looking at their players, a three-pointer can hit 4% of them.This era is not the past. With the popularization of three-pointers, it is not uncommon for fixed-point open positions to hit 4%.Among the starters, there are only 2 people who can shoot three-pointers.Insider Sabonis can also shoot, but his hit rate is not good, only just over 3%, and he will not shoot if there is no open space, so this hit rate is very average.So except Westbrook and Oladipo.The rest of the people can't do it.Then replace?For Alex Ablins, who can shoot 38-pointers?Ablins' three-pointer is not bad, the most accurate in the entire Thunder team this season. [-] percent of the threes.But he is not fit enough, too thin. After replacing Andre Robertson, the Thunder's defense, which did not have a reliable defensive system, will drop a lot immediately.This also allowed the Lakers to find a breakthrough, allowing Butler to play more of this point and destroy the Thunder offensively.

The Thunder's three-pointer came down, and Westbrook's pass began to become useless. Seeing that the Lakers were about to expand their lead, the Thunder's head coach Billy Donovan called a timeout.He is also right, Westbrook has done a good job tonight, and the pass is relatively in place, but he can't make an outside shot, so what else?This is the tragedy of those pure point guard masters in the past.And he also knows that he can't blame these perimeter players.Because, the Thunder's three-point shooting ability this season was originally the bottom of the league.

It is really at the bottom, and the original time and space is the same, the last place.

Such a team's three-point ability, it is not bad to be able to play like this, the hard ability is here, and it is meaningless to expect extravagantly.

So now we can only change the lineup, and it won't work if we don't stay the same, and we will be directly defeated by the Lakers.

After the timeout, Robertson, who has no three-point ability, was replaced. With him, at least he can form a double insurance with Oladipo for flank defense.Don't be afraid of the Lakers' flank switch offense.Three-pointers are not good anyway, this paragraph is over, let's do a good job of defense first.In case, both ends were not caught.

After seeing the change of the Thunder team, Tang Qian knew that the Thunder team was going to end this period of outside confrontation. He looked at the number 0 of the Thunder team who had begun to pant slightly and said: "What's wrong? Don't play anymore? I'm still tired ?”

"Don't think about us giving up! You are only leading by 8 points, and we still have a chance!" Westbrook said stiffly.

"It's just 8 points now." After Tang Qian finished speaking, he devoted himself to defense. The Thunder served the ball. This time, they really changed their offensive play, and Westbrook no longer focused on conduction.That's right, otherwise the Lakers simply choose to let go of a few of your points. No matter how powerful Westbrook is, he won't be able to solve any problems tonight.If the pass is passed, it may not be possible to make a shot, it still depends on others.

Seeing that the Lakers have indeed shrunk a little consciously, and began to relax on the outside line, Westbrook gritted his teeth and began to attack with the ball himself.A straight-line acceleration from the top arc, after surpassing Rondo by half, ushered in the Lakers' defense in the middle.The Lakers also designed a trap for this ball, and they will try to smash it for you as soon as Westbrook passes the ball.Destroy bursts.

Westbrook seemed to be aware of it, he didn't pass the ball, he collected the ball and stepped forward, without slowing down, and threw himself into the air after entering the free throw line.The Lakers immediately defended, and several people shrank back. This has not yet reached the inside line, and it has already surrounded Westbrook.The defensive ability of the Lakers can be seen.But Westbrook stood up tonight and scored with a twisted posture. Although it should hurt to fall to the ground, he still waved his fist when he heard the whistle of the penalty.

How about it?hot?Don't underestimate me.

Okay, a little stiff, buddy.Tang Qian looked at Westbrook's free throws, although he knew that as long as he continued to connect, he could use the team's outside line to directly widen the score difference and kill the opponent.The Lakers don't lack three-point shooting this season.Although there is no sharpshooter, it is enough.A lot of shooting points is enough, and the shooting percentage is above average, or even average.

Anyway, in terms of rebounds, the Lakers have always been the league's number one.Don't be afraid of this.

But Tang Qian has this personality. Now that Westbrook has started playing singles, he doesn't want to bully him, so he should respond in the same way.Tang Qian also started to ask for the ball in the low post, then pushed Adams hard and scored.Adams is 255 pounds. For him, it is really a bit of "paper".too light.Thunder coach Billy Donovan shouted loudly from the sidelines: help defend, help defend, you know?Don't leave Steven alone.

The Thunder's current lineup can be regarded as a "twin tower". Adams with 213cm + Sabonis with 211cm can be regarded as an inside guarantee.But, Sabonis is only in his first year this year, and he is still getting used to the rhythm of the NBA game.Although his dad is a celebrity in the basketball world, it doesn't mean he is too.Furthermore, his defensive ability is still very lacking.The arrangement of Billy Donovan is not very good.General chemistry.Because first of all, Sabonis is too light in tonnage, not strong enough to stand up to people, and his shoulders are not broad enough, so it is not easy to use the card position against people.Only use Adams top.One is a top man, and the other will be responsible for protecting the basket and blocking, which is also the weakness of Sabonis.His blocking ability is basically unqualified for his height.Only 0.4 times.This is not a problem of adaptation. He was not particularly outstanding in blocking shots in college.In the next few years of his career, this will be the capped data.This ability to protect the basket is not top-notch, so it is naturally due to Adams' "muscle weakness".

Tang Qian went in hard, and after discovering this problem, the subsequent attack was more decisive and straightforward, 2 people, the same position.

This is ability. A group of superstars such as Jordan, Kobe, O'Neal, Olajuwon, etc. were all spokespersons for this situation.Especially for Jordan, the double-team rate has been the first in the history of outsiders since there are statistics in NBA history.Basically there is no game without double teams.In this way, asking for the ball in a double-team has also become a classic epitome of Jordan's career.

Now that Tang Qian has reached this level, how can two such players defend themselves?

Dream it.

Tang Qian directly asked for the ball to be unambiguous, and forced a top attack from the low position, plus his footsteps were misplaced, and he shot when he squeezed out of the position and made a hit.

If Adams hadn't held the ball desperately, it is estimated that No. 29 would dunk again.

Westbrook was unconvinced and caused a foul by the Lakers, making 2 of 1 free throws from the free throw line.

It can be seen that he is starting to get tired. In the second half of the third quarter, his physical fitness is a little tired in the all-inclusive mode.Because of the stalemate in this game, I basically didn't rest much, so I'm tired now, which is not unusual.Although he was in good form tonight and his fighting spirit was high, he hadn't reached the point where his spirit surpassed his body.If you are tired, your efficiency will decline and your ability will decline.

Everyone is the same, physical fitness is the biggest factor to ensure your ability and efficiency online.

Without physical strength, Jordan will also be weakened. Nothing can be spared. Tang Qian was a victim of insufficient physical strength in the past.

The opponent always took advantage of him being tired and taking a break to hit the inside of the Lakers, which made the Lakers a little depressed.Now, it's someone else's turn.Playing in a big way, the statistics are good, but... it is definitely tiring.James' beast-level body feels tired all the time, let alone Westbrook?Tang Qian didn't sympathize with him, and started a wave of taking over the game and dominating the game.

Even in the face of Adams + Sabonis, he can maintain a relatively high efficiency and beat them in.

In this regard, he has taken too much advantage over the outside line.

Westbrook began to feel the obvious decline in his shooting percentage, and his speed and explosiveness began to be affected. He has gradually begun to feel less cheerful in his first step.Tang Qian is still vigorous, and he will take the ball and smash the basket angrily if he has the opportunity.

bang~~~
Following Tang Qian's back-to-back dunk, neither of them stopped him, and the balance of the game began to tilt.

Billy Donovan also began to feel the thoughts of Popovich:

Without hoarding some muscle sticks, there is no way to limit this guy, right?
The inner line in the space, in front of him, is a paper man.

The antagonism is too far away, it is not a one-on-one enemy at all, and the restricted hit rate is very limited.

After Tang Qian made a dunk, he saw the referee blow his whistle to add a penalty, and he bulged his biceps vigorously. That powerful body gave the Thunder an unparalleled pressure on the inside.

Competing with him...it's so fucking painful, isn't it?
