Chapter 1561 Paul hits the iron, the tyrant is allowed to kill
Can the Rockets stop the Lakers' No. 29?
Yes, it is also not very able to stop it. Tang Qian has become the king of low-post kills this season. Basically, no matter what team you are, if you face him, you must be prepared to be blasted inside.He is now the scoring leader of the season, the scoring leader with an average of 30+ points per game, that is, a super scorer.Trying to stop him one-on-one is just a dream.

Tang Qian is now also eating raw inside the Rockets. No matter who it is, it is a strong grab. Pressing directly on the wall is crazy bullying.Crazy friction.The Rockets' defensive system was originally built to deal with strong outside teams, such as the Warriors, so you can see that their outside pressure is very good when you watch the game.But the insider... usually depends on the sky.

Just like a dilapidated thatched cottage, how much water leaks is left to fate.

But you can't say that the Rockets are too negative, but that their current team configuration can achieve a defensive system and such a good sense of outside oppression, which is already good.For D'Antoni, this may be called the first time in history.Even when the Lakers won the championship, you have to understand that he never built a defensive system.The outside line defense relies on Kobe, who is at the peak of all aspects, and the inside line relies on Tang Qian, both of which are hard defenses!

It's all about personal ability.It has nothing to do with the defensive tactics and defensive system.

As for the rest, basically do your best. What is the defense system?That doesn't exist.

That year was all about the carry of various personal abilities. Kobe carried Tang Qian's carry, and it was not until Nash and Gasol returned that the term offensive system came into being.Nash took the lead, and the rest waited for distribution.However, D'Antoni has never created a defensive system.

Therefore, it can be said that this is the first time in the Rockets, and the defensive system has been added to the German coach system for the first time, which is unprecedented.

In this case, you can still ask them to be comprehensive and maintain a huge defensive strength inside, that is impossible.First of all, the Rockets' staffing is only like this. There is no big center, and it is for flexibility and unlimited defense. Capela is usually played at the 5th position.Capela's No. 5 position is good against the inside line in space, but against a giant like Tang Qian, a behemoth center, it is simply stretched, stretched left and right, and feels like falling apart every minute.

At the same time, don't forget that the Rockets are not a defensive team. It is enough to maintain the defensive strength of both inside and outside.So right now... This is when Tang Qian starts to kill.

If it weren't for his poor free throw feel tonight, his personal score would have soared, but if this is the case, inside kills are also indispensable.In order to prevent Capela from falling into a foul quagmire, the Rockets can only make temporary substitutions.But you have to think about it, Capela is already the best insider defender in the Rockets, he was beaten "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

The Rockets can't do it, even if the Brazilian hunk Nene came up, he was ravaged by all kinds of things.

Although Tang Qian respects the toughness of the "one-egg fighter" very much, he has one thing to say and another to say two things. Nene is already old, and it seems that he is doing well in the Rockets now, and his efficiency is not bad.But it's a far cry from his own prime.

Especially physical fitness, not as good as before.

The idea of ​​the Rockets to use the Brazilian slugger against Tang Qian was completely bankrupt and a complete failure. Nene is almost fouled now. Oh, look, this ball is the same. In order to block the attack of No. 29, he took another whistle, 6 offenders.graduated.It's a pity that Tang Qian still only made 2 of 1 free throws.

Now that Nene has gone down, the Rockets have no one who can really be used as a center.

Unless you want to play this temporary undrafted player, Kyle Welcher, but this guy is a rookie, and he only played in the NBA for one year in the original time and space.All the data are...less than 1.That is to say, it is a few tenths, which can be regarded as a very awesome record.If you play him, you will get points.

Tang Qian laughed so hard his jaw would crooked.

He could just deadlift directly, but the problem is... he still can't pull it, his strength and tonnage are too small.

Sometimes even sent a 2+1 up.

what to do?what to do?How to defend the Lakers' No. 29 from wreaking havoc inside his own paint?The Rockets don't have much to do.It can only be turned to start with the Lakers' outside scoring core, that is, Butler.Hope to get a little breakthrough.If Butler is suppressed, the Lakers' inside offense will naturally be even tighter and the pressure will double.

This is also a way that various teams played against O'Neal in the 90s.

But Butler was relatively tough in this game, and the defender was Harden...so it didn't have much impact.Although Harden is in the German coach's system, he has activated a "backup's strongest low defender" skill.But it doesn't mean that he is good at defending the perimeter.Man-to-man can still work, defense off the ball and pick-and-roll cuts are also a big colander.

Now Butler has slowly changed to playing off the ball with the ball as a supplement by Tang Qian's side. This is something that has been slowly running in and changing over the past few seasons.This season, it finally paid off.Because of the various long-range shots last year, Butler was almost sprayed as a dog on the Internet.In order to put an end to such doubts from the outside world, he practiced his shooting hard during the offseason. Not to mention, like Yuan Shikong, this season, his shooting has recovered.

In addition, he also has the tough attribute bonus of "Daji Dad" in the fourth quarter, which is not bad.

But Butler, like many people, is not the kind of natural shooter. He needs a lot of practice to maintain his touch. Once the training is a little lazy, there will be a significant decline.At the same time, the upper limit will not reach the top level.But if everything was really good, he wouldn't be at his current level and worth.It is normal to have gains and losses.

Butler's shooting is very good this season. Both the three-pointer and the mid-range shot have returned to a good level. In the playoffs, his mid-range shooting percentage was 4%, and the mid-range and long-range shooting percentages were 5%, all of which are career highs.By Tang Qian's side, because he can get a lot of open shooting opportunities, he also took good advantage of it.This is why his efficiency has exploded this season.

But in general, it is still limited, because the Rockets' outside pressure is still very good, and Butler was beaten by Harden again, and his mentality is a bit unstable, which makes it difficult for both sides to open the game. .Luckily, the Lakers have a surprise player at this time. He is Paul Pierce. After recuperating for a regular season, he has had enough soy sauce. It is finally time to lift the coffin.Well, once it is opened, there are several three-pointers, which are not fake at all, and they are shot against Harden's head.

Harden was a little confused, this old man still has such energy?
Yes, the playoffs are actually the stage for many veterans. Only when they get here can they completely explode themselves.

In the regular season, it is to lie down and win, soy sauce to reduce physical consumption.

This is a great way to extend your career.

If it weren't for him, the Lakers would probably be behind in the fourth quarter tonight.

The Lakers changed a bit and made a position similar to the 212 zone defense, just to count Harden of the Rockets coming in. As expected, Harden got the ball.But Harden quickly chose to pass the ball out. His current passing vision is definitely the top in the league.The Lakers are of course prepared for this.

Directly let Covington rely on his own mobility to sweep the receiving point on the opposite flank, while the rest of the team disperses as soon as they close, just forcing Harden to pass the ball out.What does it mean?It's very simple. Larry Brown has shown the sophistication of the veteran at this time.Since the score is so tight, it is estimated that the opponent has a high probability that the star will solve the problem.If it were the Lakers themselves, he would have a high probability of doing the same.then...

Let this time the basketball is not in the hands of their best player.

Let Paul handle the ball instead of Harden.

This is a gamble, and it is also a trade-off. Under the trade-off, Larry Brown chose to let go of Harden instead of Paul.

Of course, this so-called "letting go" is not to let go, but to defend one-on-one.

If you want the Rockets' ball, it's in Paul's hands.

Paul has a big problem, that is, his offensive firepower cannot last for too long. Of course, if you say that Paul broke out and became a "São Paulo" state, then forget it.There is no way to do that, and the strategy and arrangement cannot be 100% flawless.In that case, the Lakers can only admit defeat and think of other ways.

Now that the game has become fierce, the tactics are not very open, and the scale of confrontation is also large. Everyone is afraid to play too much. Reducing the tactical ball and conduction is also a way to reduce mistakes.If you make a mistake at this time, it will be fatal.The blow to morale was too great.Even one or two goals can decide the fate of this game.

Paul is also attacking, taking his chances and shooting out.

hit.

It seems that the crisis has been resolved?No, that's not the case, because the Lakers quickly played back, Tang Qian turned around and cut in, bounced Capela away, and dunked with both hands.At this time, the coaching staff of the Rockets told Capela, don't make a foul if you don't defend well.not worth it.Now the team needs him on the court.So Capela saw that the opponent had an advantage in this ball, and he didn't try to counterattack desperately.

This made Tang Qian feel a little regretful.

The Rockets are still Paul, Harden made a sudden pass, Paul had the last chance, dribbled the ball against Beverly in singles, and hit a jumper with an emergency stop.

The Lakers Tang Qian asked for the ball from a low post. The ball cut deep and attracted double-teams. When it was passed, Butler broke through and made a hard drive, causing a foul by the opponent.Made 2 of 1 free throws at the free throw line.

At this time, Paul made another three-pointer and went in. After the pick-and-roll, the Lakers did not change, and immediately seized the gap where Beverly squeezed into the wall and made a three-pointer.The Rockets lead by 4 points.Paul also made a celebratory gesture.The Lakers were not in a hurry. Tang Qian saw the opportunity and pointed at the ball. Butler gave an empty catch.

The passing quality of this ball is really far from that of Rondo, but Tang Qian still relied on his wingspan and physical fitness to grab the ball abruptly, and then smashed into the basket with one hand!

"Tyrant~Alley-oop~~~" His name rang out from the Staples Center.

It was still 2 points away. This time Paul's pick-and-roll was forcibly broken by Beverly, and he reached out to interfere.

The Lakers still gave it to Tang Qian, Tang Qian turned around and killed him. Capela was like a child. He couldn't do anything else except open his mouth wide and keep backing away.tied.The Rockets shot a three-pointer, missed it, and the basketball collapsed. Tang Qian protected the low rebound.Handed it over to Beverly, and then ordered, to play steadily.

play position.

This ball was blocked by Tang Qian, and Beverly's passing skills were not as good as Rondo's. The ball could only be given to Butler. Butler didn't play the ball very well. Interference, almost mistake.Covington could only get the ball by shooting a super long-range three-pointer. This ball was not within his range, but exceeded.Blacksmithing, basketball... was snatched by Tang Qian.

At critical moments, his offensive rebounds are always a nightmare for opponents.

In the past, D'Antoni liked Tang Qian's "surprise joy" the most, but now, he himself is also terrified.I can only shout loudly from the sidelines: "Pay attention to protect the rebound! Protect the rebound!!!"

Tang Qian didn't pass the ball. He played it hard, causing a foul, and then made 2 of 1 free throws from the free throw line.

The Lakers lead by 1 points.

The opponent still chooses the star tactics. At this time, it is too risky for role players. Paul cuts in and throws the ball.Missed, the Lakers got the rebound.

Then it turned to Tang Qian, Tang Qian pushed in with his back, hooked in a low position, and hit.

Capela was about to faint. He simply felt that his defense was nothing in front of the opponent.

The Lakers led by three points. Harden made a "touch" at this time, which was very crucial. In addition, Butler made a slightly aggressive pounce, which was immediately a foul... Harden still... made a fucking shot the ball.However, this ball can be regarded as a relatively standard foul. It is true that Butler rushed too hard, not that Harden was too "active".

Butler was very frustrated, and his opponent scored another key goal. Do you think he is irritated.

Harden added a penalty, made a shot, made a hit, and tied again, with 1 minute and 3 seconds left.

The Lakers paused and arranged tactics, but it didn't seem to work well, because Butler seemed to be affected by the ball just now, and his spirit was a little low. The pass of the ball almost made a mistake in the past.It's no wonder that he has been around for almost so many years, and he will be devastated when he meets Harden.

People who play basketball are still people, not machines. Mood and morale sometimes affect many things.

Fortunately, Lance Stephenson jumped out of the ball and hit the ground, saving the ball.

This ball Pierce has rich experience, a tentative breakthrough, attracted the attention of the defense, and immediately shot the ball with one hand, and stuffed it to the inside.Just now everyone's attention was on Stephenson's save and Pierce.For a while, the Rockets' defensive formation was a little bit out of order. Pierce seized this opportunity to let the ball in, creating a basically undefended opportunity for Tang Qian.

As for Tang Qian's ball, he dunked it when he pulled it up. Boom, the Lakers led by 2 points again.

Harden was double-teamed so badly this time that he couldn't leave the ball. The current him is not the one he will be in a few years later. Facing the fierce double-team alone, he is actually not very able to withstand it.And Harden is like this. When encountering too fierce defense and the most critical round, his desire to take over the game is not particularly strong.So the basketball went to Paul.Seeing that Harden had no chance, Paul was of course the first pass choice.

Paul attacked and faced Beverly's super-strength bite head-on. Yes, Beverly went up to do this. The Lakers also made it very clear to him. If you bite Paul, then tonight, you It is one of the great heroes.Beverly is very fierce, and at the last moment, the referee is not likely to give the whistle easily, and he has not received an order from above to control the game, so everything will continue as usual.

According to the traditional rules of the game, at the last moment, the players decide the game.

After Paul made several changes of direction, he shot. Beverly defended the ball very well, basically biting his footsteps. He rushed over the moment Paul made the shot, causing a very good shot interference.

This ball... When~~~Missed~~~
The Lakers began to stall for time, at least to consume a little more time before attacking, and the opponent did not choose to foul directly because they still had an offensive opportunity.Otherwise, points may be sent.Beverly also makes about 8% of his free throws, plus he fights fiercely and is in good form tonight. It's really not a wise move for you to let him go to the free throw line.

At this time, it was Paul Pierce again. He backed up and retreated, causing a foul by the opponent and going to the free throw line.

It's a pity that it may also be because of old age and relatively high physical consumption. This goal only scored 1 free throw, leading by 3 points. The Lakers retreated quickly to prevent the Rockets from making a fast push.The Rockets paused and wanted to give it to Harden after coming back up, but the Lakers surrounded him so tightly that Harden couldn't catch the ball too much.In this place, apart from Harden's own lack of willingness to take over the game, there is another problem, which is also ignored by many people.That is Harden's own ability to forcibly get rid of the ball and catch the ball in high-intensity games is not good.At this point, if you look at how Jordan Kobe and the others managed to catch the ball at the last minute, you will know the gap between these people.This is also a capability.Because everyone knows that at this time, you must be the first choice to pass the ball, and the strength and pertinence of your defense will be stronger. Ability.

It's a pity that Harden may not have this ability for the rest of his life.

He was suppressed, quickly chose to give up, and then let Paul get the ball.

This ball Paul, a pick-and-roll, then a top shot, Beverly interfered, but... still scored! ! !
3 points! ! !

The whole audience sighed, if they didn't score, then the overall situation of the game was settled, but after all, Paul was a superstar, although Paul's offensive efficiency in the last stage was not very good.But the key to this ball was still thrown in.This is enough.Beverly was also a little annoyed, because he felt that there was nothing wrong with his defense, it was just that the opponent forcibly shot in.

This made the defensive highlights in front of him somewhat faded.

Fans are forgetful, and the final decision is the key. This is the same whether it is football or basketball.

The Lakers also called for a timeout immediately. Larry Brown arranged for the ball to be played on the outside. He thought that there would be a lot of troops on the inside, because he knew Tang Qian's lethality was too great, so he didn't dare to let it go easily.After doing a pick-and-roll setup, get back in the game. Plan A is to give Butler a shot, and Plan B is to immediately pull the air on one side after Butler makes a shot or the offense is unfavorable, and give Pierce on the other side to attack with the ball.

However, the situation of this ball was unexpected. When passing the ball, Paul touched it... Could it be that Paul really wants to complete the final redemption?no!At this time, Rondo, who was replaced again, took advantage of his long arms and touched the ball.But looking at Paul's speed and his own distance, he probably won't be able to catch the ball, so he must use other methods to quickly pass the ball out.

At least you can't give your opponent a chance.

With an idea, Rondo slapped the ball out even if he couldn't catch it, and the ball fell in the right low post.

Mike D'Antoni knew something was wrong at a glance, and he yelled, telling everyone to pay attention to the low post, pay attention to the inside, and pay attention to the No. 29 of the Lakers.But it was still a step too late. Tang Qian used his huge physical advantage to squeeze the defender away and grabbed the ball.At this time, the people from the Rockets rushed to the No. 29.

At this time, Larry Brown seemed to see an opportunity and shouted loudly from the sidelines:
pass the ball!hot!Our No. 31 tactic is in place! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Yes, the final position of the No. 31 tactic is that there will be a person standing in the bottom corner, waiting for the three-pointer to be shot.

The person standing there now is Ariza.

Ariza himself is also a little nervous now. The pressure is really not normal for shooting this kind of ball.

But now he has no choice but to swallow a mouthful of saliva, forcefully concentrate, and prepare to make a move.

But what everyone didn't expect was... the No. 29 of the Lakers, this Eastern center, he actually, he didn't intend to pass the ball at all, he just made a hard top, roared, and rose up! ! !

"Stop him!!!!!!!!!" Mike D'Antoni shouted from the sidelines.

The Rockets now have so many people here, it should be possible...

Tianchao Sports Station.

"This shot is not reasonable, I think it is still... oh, this... good shot!!!!!! That's the way it should be played!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !" Yao Ming: ...Meteor Shower: ....

At the scene of the Staples Center, Bill McDonald also showed a big turning point:
This ball chose to play strong?But there are many people around me, this is too reluctant... oh~~~ Come in, come in! ! ! ! ! ! ! !In! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !Don't force it! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !Not at all reluctant! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !pretty! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !Wonderful! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

And more than that, it's a... AND.ONE! ! !

Because there were too many thugs and violations, the referee was embarrassed not to blow the ball, and felt a little sorry for his conscience.

No one in the Rockets complained about the whistle, because only they knew how aggressive they were invading the ball.

There is nothing wrong with the referee giving the whistle, it is very fair, and there is something wrong with not giving it.

And Tang Qian shook his hand, stood on the free throw line, and made an extra penalty... a hit! ! !
The 40th point in the game! ! !
The Lakers lead by 3 points.

The Rockets still didn't give up on the ball and called a timeout, but the Lakers' defense was too tight. In the end... Harden actually chose to be James.There is really no chance, and scoring 2 points is not bad.At least his own score can be improved a little bit. 2 points hit.The Lakers didn't bother to take care of him, lest it would be uneconomical to be touched.

After the goal, Harden's score climbed to 30 points, but there was only 0.5 seconds left in the game. As soon as the Lakers Rondo touched the ball, he deliberately threw a super high-altitude long pass at the fastest speed.Time ran out while the basketball was still in the air, and the Lakers won the first game of the series with a final 100-99, 1-point victory over the Rockets.

Although Harden scored in the end, according to the official rules of the NBA, it cannot be regarded as a lore.

But it can be regarded as a quasi-lore, scoring a key goal and helping the team win.

The Lakers VS Rockets currently lead 1-0.
