Chapter 1557 Don't underestimate people, there are no underdogs in the west

The Rockets and the Lakers fought, and the Rockets were obviously well-prepared. They adopted Harden and Paul's strong and weak sides.The Rockets haven't used that often before.Maybe it didn't run in well, maybe it was deliberately left a trump card or something.Anyway, even if two people were present at the same time before, they would fight alone for a while, and the same is true for the organization and connection. There are not many cases of connection.But now, there seems to be a change in them, and the two of them are starting to link up.

This is something the Lakers did not expect, after all, the Rockets have basically never done this before.How do the stars produce a chemical reaction where one plus one is greater than two.This is a test of the running-in between the head coach and the team.Before the Heat, it was basically three people who played separately. Of course, the effect is still there. After all, it is the individual abilities of these three people. The success of one fight is basically greater than the failure.But this is not enough, how did the first year finals get killed?It is because of this style of play that it is difficult to play against a really resilient team.Between the stars, it actually has an effect of one plus one or even less than two.

So after failing in the first year, the Heat chose to adjust, Wade retreated to the second line, and Bosh also pulled out to be a star shooter.Let James regain the main position and control the overall situation. Although Wade seems to have sacrificed a lot, for the whole team, this will improve the overall strength of the team.Only then did the so-called Janeway connection come into being, with high speed and fast down, defensive counterattack.

Previously, the Rockets had the feeling of the Big Three in Miami in the first year. In addition, Paul came to the Rockets after the All-Star Game last year, which is also such a model.Two people control separately, swing separately, and one swings the other basically watching the show on the offensive end.At most, focus on a little bit, open up the space, and make a fixed threat point.This way of playing, at most, one plus one equals two.

It can't be any more.

Such a Rockets team has basically done so many tricks in front of them, but they are still playing against the Lakers, taking them by surprise and attacking them by surprise.When the Lakers adapt, these methods have found countermeasures.The situation will be different immediately.

In the last matchup of the regular season, the Lakers basically figured out the Rockets' routine and were no longer at a loss, so in that game, the Lakers were playing against the Rockets.Everyone also thought that the Rockets' tricks were finally used up.In this way, entering the playoffs, it will not be too difficult to play.Just be on guard against their ultimate magic ball explosion.

But in the first quarter tonight, Mike D'Antoni told everyone on the Lakers one thing, that is... I still have something at the bottom of the box waiting for you.In the regular season, we did not try our best.Playoffs, we're not afraid of you.

That's right, the Rockets have been known as Hellfire in the original time and space for the past few years, and they can be regarded as the only team that almost broke up Universe Yong.Had it not been for a bad breath that year, when Harden lost the chain again at a critical moment, maybe he really won.That year, according to the original words of Warriors owner Joe Lacob, if he lost to the Rockets in the Western Conference Finals tiebreaker, he would consider dismantling the Tsunami Brothers and then let the Golden State Warriors enter the reconstruction.So this Rockets team is really not ordinary.

Don't underestimate him.

Even in the past few years in the original time and space, Warriors fans have said in the post bar:
We are in the West, only the Rockets are the opponents, and the rest are not worth mentioning.

And from a god's perspective, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it. After destroying the Rockets, Yu Yuyong is a flat river, unstoppable.finals?That's just a head-to-head game.So during this period of time, every year in the Western Conference Warriors VS Rockets series, it was full of gunpowder, and it seemed to be very enjoyable.Sometimes you even feel that it is more exciting than the finals.

This is the power of the magic ball rocket built by D'Antoni himself.

If it wasn't for the age of cosmic bravery, to be honest, they are very likely and have the potential to create a dynasty.

It's a pity... In this era, the Warriors are too bright. Even Hellfire is still short of breath.

But this does not mean that they are easy to deal with. If you despise them, you will pay the blood price.

The Lakers did not target this style of play before the game, and Harden and Paul are both pass masters. This time, the Lakers played in a bit of confusion.Look at the ball, Harden made a breakthrough and hit the ground. Capela cut to get the ball without the ball, and then did not attack by himself, but made a support in the middle, handing hands to Ryan Anderson who cut out .

Anderson raised his hand and it was a three-pointer. Capela's pick-and-roll was still very active and of good quality. Randall failed to catch up with the ball in time and was blocked. Looking at his defender, he hit a three-pointer from the top arc ball.Anderson is a powerful shooter at the 4th position. In addition, the Rockets have specially set up tactics for him, and the quality of the pick-and-roll is high. Randall played a little tight in the first quarter.

The pick-and-roll is also the foundation of the Rockets' home and life. Their extreme magic ball, except for Harden and Paul, who play the ball by themselves and rely on their personal ability to operate, is the pick-and-roll, pick-and-roll, pick-and-roll, screen, screen, screen. .The Rockets have completely learned the Warriors' previous set, a large number of mobile screens.

Coupled with D'Antoni's own design and improvement, combined with the ultimate magic ball, it complements each other.

The offensive training ability, D'Antoni gave him the right person, he is the top in history, but the defensive end is too biased, which caused him to always stop in the Western Conference finals in the Western Conference, almost at a loss.Now the Rockets have hired him a famous defensive assistant coach, Bu Shuai, and the two of them combined seamlessly at once. The combat power of this team is far beyond imagination.Having said that, this Rockets team should have become a more dazzling star in this era if it weren't for the universe bravely blocking the way.

In the original time and space, only this rocket team almost broke up Yu Yuyong, and there was no one else.

Look again, it was another air cut from the right flank, Harden made the ball in time, and Louis Williams, who was traded by the Rockets player midway, quickly went sideways, caught the ball and went in.Louis Williams has a strong scoring ability, so no one dares to ignore him.But he came in under a guise. In fact, after attracting the defender, he quickly passed inside and gave it to the "cake king" Capela who moved over.

Capela made a low throw and scored the goal.

Don't say it, Capela's ability to "eat cakes" is really good, and he has a good sense of smell, which also makes him a duck to water in the Rockets.Because the Rockets have 2 passing masters, his "pie-eating" ability can also be maximized.After all, he was in the top five or six of the MVP rankings because of his ability to "eat cakes". This ability to "eat cakes" is also considered outstanding.

It's no ordinary "Pie Eater".

However, the Lakers are also adjusting. After all, this team's defense is still the best in history. Even the Rockets, unless the magic ball feels explosive, don't try to easily overwhelm them.Play the flower game directly.Seeing that Butler missed the ball, the Rockets immediately made a fast push, didn't stop the ball at all, and didn't observe, and ran forward first.This is also the style of the German handsome, seven seconds or less, not covered.Tang Qian himself has played in this system before, and he is deeply touched.

So for this ball, Tang Qian decisively judged the Rockets' offensive intentions, directly gave up the rebound competition, turned his head and ran back with high energy, and retreated with high energy.It can even be seen that the moment Butler hit the ball, the Lakers on the 29th began to turn their heads and return to defense.That's why the current scene came about. The Lakers chased No. 29 and just slapped... Cap off the Rockets' Williams.

But the ball was not over yet, and it didn't take long for the Rockets to make another offensive and defensive transition, pushing directly. Harden's ball showed the passing energy he inspired under the German coach.The average of 11+ assists per game this season is not covered!If it weren't for Rondo, he should have been the assist leader this season.So it’s a long pass in the backcourt. Capela’s quick and early laydown is also an advantage in his "sense of eating cakes". The team quickly attacked.

The Lakers Rondo also retreated the ball immediately, but Harden passed the ball very well, allowing Capela to form a big fight with Rondo directly during the impact.It would be fine if Capela didn't rush up, and he could rely on his own defense and long arms for dribble interference and steals, but Capela, who has already rushed up, Rondo is a bit out of control.Tonnage and stature are not at the same level. After being hit by a collision, he pushed his body away, and then watched Capela attack with one hand and smash!

But what Rondo didn't expect was that the second after he was knocked away, there was another figure rushing towards him at high speed, passing by him.When he looked up, it was No. 29 of the Lakers, Tyrant Tang.Yes, this Capela was bound to make a one-handed dunk. At the last moment, No. 29 caught up in time and staged a play of chasing the master. With this ball, he forced the cap to fly out.

Capella's heart is full of MMP, can you cover it too?Have you opened the eyes of God?
Tang Qian doesn't know whether he has the Eye of God or not, but he has played in D'Antoni's system for several years, and has also been an absolute core and main force, so he has studied some details very thoroughly.After all, it was D'Antoni who boasted back then that Tang Qian was the most suitable candidate for the C position of his tactical system, and there was no one man.

Therefore, it is not surprising that there have been some empirical predictions in advance.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the NBA. Many players have played the head coach's tactical system and thoroughly understood it. Then when they face it again, they will grasp the details and predict the moment of offensive routines.A typical example is the Western Conference Finals between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers. Pippen is a person who knows the process of the Zen master's triangle offensive system. He once caused a lot of trouble for the dynastic Lakers.

But after blocking the ball, Tang Qian was not very happy, because he found that this Rockets team was far less easy to play than he imagined.Western teams seem to be undergoing a substantial "capability upgrade" compared to last year.If I use last year's mentality to treat this year's Western Conference, there is a high possibility of big problems.

At this time, the Lakers called a timeout, and Larry Brown needed to make some adjustments and tactical modifications.

PS: Also, this is the first update~~~
