Chapter 1454 It's 5 days later, let's settle the score
The Lakers are currently second in the West, and the Rockets are currently third in the West. They have surpassed the Spurs by half a game, but there is still a lot of gap from the Lakers.The Lakers have only lost 3 games so far, and the Rockets are still close.After all, it is the magic ball style of play, and the probability of fluctuation will be higher, even if there are two superstars Harden and Paul escorting it, it is the same.

Not particularly stable.

This is also the reason why the D'Antoni system has been unable to stand on the highest stage in the playoffs. In the 13-14 season, everyone knew that it was not the D'Antoni system that helped the Lakers enter the playoffs and win the championship.

"I'm Zhang Lili."

"Today's game is full of highlights, Director Zhang, which side do you think has a better chance of winning?"

"I think so, why are the Lakers? Listen to me..."

Tianchao Penguin webcast, and now webcast is increasingly playing an important role in the broadcast, especially young people, the proportion of gathering here is higher.Watching the ball and complaining is the current normal state of young people watching the ball.Of course, there will always be a good-looking vase hostess on the Penguin webcast every time, which is also a highlight to attract male hormones.

Anyway, as you can see, spray is spray, everyone should look at these vases, this is the social reality.

Staples Center, Los Angeles, USA.

The Lakers and the Rockets started warming up. Tang Qian said unceremoniously after seeing Harden: "I hope you will be more conscious tonight. If you continue to be so shameless, I will not make it easier for you." Harden also Recently, I have played better and better. I have completely exploded in the German coaching system, and my personality has gradually become proud: "Tang, now is the era of efficiency, and all efficiency is king. I do this in line with the pace of the times." , the rules allow it, why don't you let it? Isn't it funny? Do you think you are the president of the alliance? Since you can't change it, you have to accept it."

Seeing Harden's arrogant look, Tang Qian nodded with a sneer and said: "Yes, I thought you would restrain yourself, but I didn't expect that it would just get worse. Yes... I remember. You Don't regret it."

"What do I regret? My true shooting percentage can't compare to Jordan, you know? It's a new era now, look forward, hot." Harden is indeed proud, his true shooting percentage depends on free throws , It is true that Jordan can't hold back.He wants to say that he is the shooting guard with the highest true shooting percentage in history. From the data point of view, there is nothing wrong with him at all.

It is indeed "historical hit rate No. 1".

The current true shooting percentage in the regular season has broken 6%!See clearly, this is not a single season, this is a career true shooting percentage!Jordan's data is 56.9% of his career.Well, let’s not talk about Jordan, James is efficient enough across positions. You can see news about James’ shooting percentage all year round, but his true shooting percentage is only about 58%.This is James, the man with the highest single-person shooting percentage of more than 56% in the season.In the outside line, he already has an abnormally strong hit rate.But compared with Harden, it is still a bit worse.That is to say, Curry can fight on the outside.But Curry's singles rate is much lower than Harden's, which makes Harden's data a bit magical.

A person with a shooting rate of about 44% all the year round, his true shooting rate can surpass almost everyone in the same position, even James can't match it, which is a bit "shocking".Unfortunately, it is the truth.This is what Harden is most proud of.

He felt that he had found a golden road, which was his James Harden's "Tao".

The only man with more free throws than his career.

Playing against the Rockets, unless they feel off-line, everyone now knows that they cannot be completely contained.The Lakers have tried this, and it is impossible to block all aspects.The Rockets have completely turned into magic balls. They can shoot more than 50 three-pointers in a game without pressure. If you want to control the overall situation, it is extremely difficult.Because they still have two point guard masters controlling the field, they can advance the team's offense without any tactical routines. This is something that no team in the league or even in history can match.

No matter how good the Lakers' defensive tactics are, in this situation, they can only do nothing, and the defense seems to be a lot more passive.

In addition, their misplaced singles are also the best in the league. When the three are added together, it is absolutely impossible to completely prevent them.

In fact, D'Antoni's team has never suffered a loss in offense. If you want to completely defend his team, it is a dream.In the past, it was possible to start from their No. 1 position, but now, Harden and Paul are extremely difficult to target, and the two f*cking two are really killing people.Now under the rules of basketball, and the shooting ability of role players is getting better and better, it is not so easy to defend and win.Even if the Lakers have one of the strongest defenses in history, it is difficult. The general environment of the league has weakened the defense too much.

This is something that has to be faced.It is said that the new president is still studying how to reduce off-ball defensive fouls, which makes the defensive environment a bit harsh.This set was really implemented in the 18-19 season of the original time and space. Many players are saying that it's not that they don't want to defend anymore, but that they can't defend at all, and they don't dare to defend.

Then the NBA's paying users dropped sharply, and the ratings also dropped sharply. Only then did Silval publicly say that he felt anxious.But please, the ultimate offensive style, isn't it you who pushed it with one hand? The globalization of the NBA is becoming more and more successful, and the TV broadcasting contracts are getting bigger and bigger, but it is getting harder and harder for you to do it.
Larry Brown didn't seem to make any personnel adjustments in this game, but he did refine his positions.

He let Ariza at the 3rd position defend Anderson at the 4th position, and then used Randall at the 4th position to defend the Rockets' Gerald Green at the 3rd position.Green was also traded a season earlier than the original time and space, and it seems that some things are still operating according to the original track.The change suddenly worked.Green's three-pointer is very good, but his physical confrontation ability is very poor. Randall just needs to follow him. If he has a strong shooting hand, he can be replaced. If he is not good, the Rockets will suffer.

As a result, Gerald Green's three-pointer was really bad at the beginning. Don't look at it like this, Randall, the speed is still very fast. The bounce may not be very good, but the agility is good. Otherwise, some people say that he There is a tendency to develop into the next Draymond Green.Even if the pass support is not comparable, then the rest can be comparable, and Randall's autonomous offensive ability is obviously much stronger than the Warriors Green.

Randall's body is enough to ensure that Green can't break through, and his legs are not slow. Green made 3 of 0 shots at this point.

And using Randall's physical confrontation ability at this point, Green's ability to hold the ball has also been weakened.

It can be regarded as a relatively successful transformation.

The Lakers took the opportunity to widen the score difference.

Seeing this, the Rockets immediately resorted to the method of misplaced singles to temporarily stabilize the situation. This is indeed difficult to handle. Harden and Paul are both masters of singles with the ball, and both of them are very good at playing big. The probability of dislocation is very high, and the Rockets have a lot of space, and the two people are not hindered very much.

After Paul finally switched to playing Randall, he immediately made small and big shots. Even if the Lakers were prepared, they were still succeeded by the opponent. It can be seen how "one trick" the Rockets are.However, the Lakers played one in the past. Tang Qian went to the low post after a pick-and-roll in the middle, and then blocked another one, creating a space for Randall to cut in. Rondo seized the opportunity and immediately threw the ball out. Randall A one-handed lob, dunk into the basket.

Don't look at Tang Qian's ball without any data, but the effect on the team is no less than the "light bulb combination" organization series.He has become more and more mature and has become an irreplaceable ultimate core of the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Rockets Harden made a pick-and-roll cut after the ball came over, but the Lakers came online to help defend, but Harden has now activated the attributes of a strong point guard, so he shot the ball immediately. The Rockets are one distance away from the three-point line There is also a half-meter three-pointer, brush, hit.

This is where the Rockets are now difficult to be completely suppressed. It is too difficult to play. If they cannot be suppressed one-on-one, they will be terrified to go up to help, for fear that Harden and Paul will play the ball in time and give the rest a three-pointer.

Don't underestimate the passing speed and timeliness of these two people. If you want to bet on it, the Rockets can shoot someone you doubt your life tonight.The last time the Warriors lost to the Rockets, they made this mistake. They underestimated the pass organization ability of the "lightbulb combination", and then let the Rockets make three-pointers in that game, and they were directly shot into a sieve .

The Lakers didn't want to give the opponent this chance in this game. Larry Brown immediately asked the players on the field to reduce their help defenses and try not to leave their defensive positions.This gives the opponent more one-on-one opportunities, but there is no way, the lesser of two evils, the Rockets are too violent in three-pointers this season, and they are completely magic balls, so they cannot be easily shot.

Otherwise, it will be very difficult to win.

The Rockets naturally also saw the Lakers' plan, that's good, then it's better to play one-on-one in singles, anyway, our Rockets' conventional weapons have this.Unlimited misplaced singles, we will not be afraid.Seeing that Rondo was overwhelmed by Harden after Butler and Rondo were replaced, Tang Qian took the lead to pull Butler over and said: "The strength of the 13th is too strong and the tonnage is too large. It's hard to defend, I suggest you wait and don't switch defenses with Rajon."

"No change? You mean..."

Tang Qian nodded, because Harden has evolved again this season. He plays a light-tonnage outside line and has obvious advantages, so it is best not to expose Rondo to Harden.Even if you don't like Harden, you have to admit that this bearded man does have such a strong ability now, and it is not so easy to block it easily.Physical strength and confrontation ability are very important.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to block No. 13's attack even if he had a full body of defense.

In this regard, Butler is worthy of Harden, so it is most suitable for him to defend.

"Yeah, just squeeze it, use your size and strength, squeeze it right through the pick-and-roll screen, don't make a switch."

"The players on the opposite side are very soft, that thin monkey Anderson, I believe you will have no pressure."

Butler nodded, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "What about Capella? He is..." Tang Qian seemed to know what Butler wanted to say, and interrupted directly: "Don't worry, it's not that easy Hanged me out. He did the same himself."

Seeing that No. 29 said this, Butler could only nod doubtfully.
