basketball purple front

Chapter 1745 Come in person at the beginning of the game (the big chapter will be updated~)

The Houston Rockets narrowly beat the Timberwolves. Harden scored 44 points in this game, which indeed gave him a bad breath for losing the scoring champion in the regular season.The Timberwolves actually had a chance in this game. They led the Rockets by nearly 10 rebounds.But, because the shooting rate and star performance at critical moments are not as good as the opponent, it is a pity to lose to the opponent by the last 3 points.Towns was the culprit of the loss in this game.He averaged more than 20 points per game in the regular season, but only 9 points were recorded tonight, and his shooting percentage was 33.3%.It seemed that he was destined to be blackened to carbon tonight.With this hit rate, how do you want to play?

He claims to be one of the top centers in the league in the future, and the hopeful star of the inside line. In the end, hey, he was defended like this by a blue collar. Do you think it's okay?It's not good.Capela scored 24 points, rebounds, 12, 3 blocks and 1 assist tonight, and his shooting percentage was close to 7%.Don't you think he's blowing up Karl Downs tonight?Towns' abnormality at this point is the reason why the Timberwolves finally lost a 3-pointer tonight.Otherwise, even if Harden scored an efficient 44 points and made more than 58% of his three-pointers, it would be difficult to lead the team to win.The main core was defended by the opponent's blue-collar tonight, so it should be said that the loss of this game is not wronged.

The Jazz and the Trail Blazers were inseparable. The Trail Blazers also claimed to have two shots from the outside tonight. As a result, under the joint defense of the Jazz, they surrendered such a shooting percentage. CJ McCrum made 18 of 7 shots and a 38% shooting rate. Under the guidance of the core player Lillard, it was even more miserable tonight. He was defended as a 23 of 6 shots and a 26.1% shooting rate.The average shooting percentage of the two is 32%, you can talk about how to win.The team shot 3% from the field, and the Jazz finished the game with nothing wrong with it.It is also the main player who does not play well and loses. This situation is basically unsolvable.

Do you want to rely on some players with millions or even a basic salary to win, or playoffs, what are you not daydreaming?
If you win, it's called a miracle, you know?

The playoffs are the stage for false stars to appear. If you don’t have good statistics and lead the team to win, that’s OK.It is considered that you have attracted the firepower, and everyone relies on you to win.Because without you, it's basically impossible to win.There is no doubt about the attractiveness of core players.Otherwise, if you have extremely high data, get a data amulet to use.That's fine too.Otherwise, you are a star who can't lead the team to win, and can't get good statistics.How can such a person be called a star?At least the playoff stars cannot be called.Call it a regular season star.

In fact, Tang Qian thinks that the playoffs should be played like this. After Nima's current joke came up, a devil's operation frantically weakened the defense and strengthened the referee's control position.It is really the result of not being able to use the brain and pretending to be smart.If you think about it, if you don't say anything, the decline in ratings is the best evidence.When the time comes, everyone will stop watching, and you still have to play ball.

Even if you score 200 points in a game, no one cares, understand?

And why the ratings are declining year by year, because the current NBA is just a shooting contest and extreme efficiency contest.

What's the point of such a basketball?Popovich said that the current basketball is boring.He also suggested that if he likes to shoot three-pointers so much, he should just add a 3-pointer and a 3-pointer just like 4v4.Isn't that better?In this way, everyone will have more people to practice 4-pointers.If you add a foul, wow~ you can score five points.

Zen master Jackson also said that modern basketball tactics are three-pointers, and he is different from Popovich. He directly proposed it to the league office in the 2016-2017 season, since everyone likes to shoot three-pointers so much now.Then just set up a 35-point point on the basis of 4 feet, so everyone is happy, and the scoring data is easier.But he also predicted in an interview this season that when the big men who adapt to this era return in the future, the small ball era will eventually be ended.He doesn't think any one trend can last more than 20 years in the NBA.In fact, looking at the history of the NBA, the style of the league has changed several times during the period?Kobe also supports Zen Master's argument. He believes that the trend of the times is reincarnated, and it is impossible for the style of play in any era to last forever.

So let's make jokes hard. When the playoffs become no confrontation, well, the NBA is a game completely controlled by capital.In that way, his status as the number one basketball player will eventually become a mark of the times.In fact, except for the top players, the current European teams are no longer afraid of ordinary star players in the United States.This is definitely not a lie. This is the case in the second Basketball World Cup in 2019 in the original time and space. Although the US team does not have the strongest players, there are still ordinary star players.The book strength at that time was recognized as the number one among all participating teams.Coupled with the escort of the two legendary coaches of Popovich + Cole, winning should not be a problem.

In the end, haha, you didn't even keep your medals, so you took a No.7 and walked back in despair.

Ridiculous isn't it?So, except for the top-notch players in basketball, Europe and the United States are not that big anymore.Therefore, if learning from the NBA in the United States is not good enough, and learning from the European style of play that does not rely so much on physical fitness, it is actually a path.If the Mi Empire does not send out the strongest lineup now, do you think he dares to say that he can get No.1?
But that's okay, it's a joke, and the status of the basketball kingdom in the United States will decline sooner or later.

When you lose a lot, you won't be able to become arrogant in your heart.In this way, our country can also speed up the time to train the next generation, play well, and narrow down the strength of our own team and the world's top teams.This, we still have to admit it, we can’t do anything fake, it’s better to learn from our opponents, otherwise, blindly working behind closed doors, that’s a stupid behavior that binds one’s own hands and feet.This kind of historical lesson does not need to be repeated several times.History has been written many times.

Besides, how many generations do these American guys have in their ancestors? The regime was only established in 1776. To be honest, it is impossible to scold their ancestors for eighteen generations, and it is difficult for eight generations.Because, people don't even know who the eight generations above them are.Anyway, it's impossible to be American.It is said that there will be a free movement rule next season, and even off-ball defense needs to be hairy. This is a joke. You can simply say that the NBA only has confrontation.Just need the star data to look good.

Sports without defense, or competitive basketball?

How stupid.

But at least so far in the first round of the playoffs, the intensity is still very high, and Tang Qian is basically satisfied with this.Having said that, he doesn't like the kind of basketball without confrontation and defense. This is not the basketball he first knew.Fierce confrontation and passion are the classics.And it turns out that in those years, the NBA was indeed the era of the top ratings.

And Tang Qian is holding up this place now, if he withdraws suddenly at that time, hehe, I wonder if some people will kneel and beg Tang Qian not to leave, and beg him to come back and play soon.But it's okay to earn more money from the NBA. Tang Qian now has set up 3 special funds except that he doesn't donate to any cross society.It is for point-to-point poverty alleviation and assistance.Except for a basketball special fund, two of them are fund projects that are of a subsidizing nature to the society.

These two funds are currently operated by the Tang team, and they are in good condition, and there are many people willing to cooperate. With Tang Qian's current popularity, there is no need to worry about these.Then this year, Tang Qian also began to let the Tang team invest in another project, which is to build a teaching building.This is also very meaningful for some remote and impoverished areas of the country.

Education is always one of the top priorities.

He has reached this height, and he is not short of money anyway, and he still feels very comfortable and happy to use the money of Americans to do some good things within his capacity.

The game between the Lakers and the Thunder was scheduled for the second day, and there are four games to be played on this day, namely Boston Celtics VS Milwaukee Bucks, Philadelphia 76ers VS Miami Heat, Golden State Warriors VS San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Lakers VS Oklahoma City Thunder.

For this game, because the Lakers have home court advantage, it will be played first at the Staples Center, the Lakers' home court.

Before the ball started, there were still a lot of media advocating that the strength of the two teams was equal, and that the Thunder team actually played fiercely against each other, and the playoffs against promotion would have more advantages than the regular season.The problem of too few superstars for the Lakers will be infinitely magnified in the playoffs. Thomas Jr. is a black hole in defense, and his role in the playoffs is far inferior to Butler.Looking at this, Tang Qian felt that he was a little "not optimistic" about the Lakers.

This group of European and American advanced keyboard warriors are really eloquent, with a brilliant tongue.

It's no wonder that these American people who are fooling around are also stunned and stunned, and there are still a few brushes.

But... the game is still for the players to play.

At the Staples Center, Tang Qian smiled when he saw the Thunder coming in, which made George a little nervous.It hasn't been long since they played the last game of the regular season with the Lakers, but now they are facing each other again.But in the playoffs, we still won't play so well. Didn't ESPN say that our advantage is still quite large.When we play giant ball, we actually have an advantage.So don't be afraid, George, the Thunder, Oklahoma, it's all fine.

The Lakers are no longer the Lakers with two consecutive championships, they have weakened a lot.

So we have to take the defending champion flag first, then go all the way to the finals, and finally win the Larry O'Brien Cup! ! !
Wai Wai Wai, you guys are thinking a little too much and going too far.Let's take a look at the current situation before continuing, okay?
Westbrook and Tang Qian came over and clapped their hands. I don't know what they said. In short, you can see the face of No. 0 of the Thunder team, and it was a bit ugly afterwards.why?Simple.Tang Qian just said one sentence: Your playoffs are over.This is simply... blatantly looking down on us, okay! ! ! ! ! !We are also the team of the Big Three, you think it is those garbage teams in the East! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Eastern teams... which of us are garbage teams, please make it clear, you.

As for the other melon tycoon, Tang Qian's attitude was that he didn't talk to him at all.Didn't even take a second look.It seems that the melon giant is not a giant at all.This made Anthony tremble all over again.No way, now Anthony is still dreaming of his own superstar dream, and he still feels that labor and capital are smoking a cigarette, and New York is half the sky.In fact, he no longer has the ability to be called a giant.

But he hasn't been able to recognize himself and face reality.

This situation is the same as Howard couldn't recognize himself back then.I have been dreaming of a low-level killer.He didn't wake up until gradually no one wanted him anymore.Dreams shattered.Anthony is the same now, he needs someone to give him a cruel blow to reality, so that he can see it clearly.

First of all, he had to figure out that he was indeed out of Tang Qian's eyes now.It's really not a superstar anymore.To put it bluntly, he doesn't even count as a star.

It's cruel, but competitive sports are like this, you don't want to come so early, you have to train and maintain well.In this regard, how well does the Cavaliers at the same level as No. 23 do? After the age of 30, how do you continue to maintain it? This is a university question.For stars, there is no difference.Whether you do well or not, you will be judged.

If Anthony can't recognize himself, then I'm afraid his NBA career will come to an end soon.

The game started, and the Thunder's starting lineup was still George + Westbrook + Anthony + Adams + Brewer.This is basically the starting arrangement for the last game of the regular season against the Lakers.The Lakers haven't changed much tonight. It's still the lineup of Rondo + Thomas Jr. + Kuzma + Covington + Tang Qian.Yi Jianlian and Covington are now making starting arrangements almost according to tactical needs. Yi Jianlian's shooting is worse than Covington's, and his basket protection and rebounding are slightly better than Covington's. After all, his body tonnage has increased. It’s not for free. Yi Jianlian’s wingspan is also the top among the yellow race, as high as 222cm, which is already quite excellent, but Yi Jianlian’s small defense and supplementary defense ability are far worse than Covington’s. Isn’t that true? There is an attitude problem. It is really that ability and talent are not as good as Covington.Therefore, in the absence of Randall, the Lakers' starting arrangement at the 4th position is generally mixed.

It hasn't been fixed since Covington's comeback.

Both came as substitutes, and both were almost eliminated by the NBA, so I have no opinion on this arrangement.

From the beginning, the Lakers played big after a high pick-and-roll. What, you said scrimmage?Needless to say, it must belong to the Lakers.Adams, even if he looks like Aquaman, you think he really is.What are you thinking.In front of Tang Qian, he is a younger brother, a little brother.This layout is to let Thomas Jr. take a wave first. With the help of Tang Qian's high pick-and-roll, Thomas Jr. goes directly in and is a good mid-range shot with an emergency stop, and then makes a mid-range shot in basketball.

Help the Los Angeles Lakers get off to a good start.

But this is just a layout battle, to make the Thunder mistakenly think that the Lakers' opening attack focuses on Thomas Jr.Basketball is sometimes a kind of psychological warfare. If you make a wrong judgment, your team will fall behind. The Cavaliers lost nearly 20 points in the first game of the first round of the playoffs this season. At the beginning, the tactics were overwhelmed by the opponent, and then he was stunned by waves, and he has not been able to slow down since then.Are the Lakers trying to get off to a big start?The head coach on the opposite side, Billy Donovan, is not a vegetarian either. He adjusted quickly and retreated quickly after defending the pick and roll. Then, the No. 4 position moves from the elbow area, directly blocks Thomas Jr.'s breakthrough route, and waits for an opportunity to block the interference after a physical confrontation.

The adjustment is really fast, and he is indeed a famous coach in the NCAA, but...the Lakers are not a famous coach.

This ball is a game between Larry Brown, a famous coach who has also coached in the NCAA and NBA, and Billy Donovan's head coach.The competition in the playoffs is all about adjustments, details, and the ability to respond in times of crisis.Many people are lacking in this point, so no matter how good the performance of leading the team in the regular season is, he is just an ordinary coach in the playoffs, and cannot lead the team to the finals, let alone the championship.

But in the face of the opposing defense, Thomas Jr. reacted very steadily to the ball, because he didn't intend to hit it by himself, so he passed to attract firepower, and then gave it to Tang Qian, who was in the high position as a wall.Tang Qian took the ball and went down, took the opportunity to rush in, and he rushed up, it was difficult for you to stop him.All of a sudden, Tang Qian, wow, it was a one-handed flying dunk when he went in, and he bent over the basket.

Adams was really conscientious, he didn't back away from the ball, but it was useless no matter how conscientious he was, because Tang Qian's impact was not something he could resist.For the second ball, the Lakers still did the same. Thomas Jr. still cut in, and then drove away the defender again, giving No. 29 a chance to directly hit the basket.This time Adams was directly whistled for a foul, and Tang Qian made 2 of 2 free throws from the free throw line.Westbrook scored one on the opposite side, but the Lakers didn't care, and it was another pick-and-roll by Tang Qian and Thomas Jr.And then... gave No. 29 another hit to the basket? ? ?
This...Donovan really didn't expect that Larry Brown, who has always been known as strictly forbidden, would play like this continuously. He needs the whole team to pay more attention to Thomas Jr. during this time, so as not to be attracted by the Lakers' style of play. .As a result, Tang Qian hit him three times in a row after being caught by Larry Brown. 3 times are regarded as getting points, and none of them returned without success.

This time Donovan quickly adjusted, and when he moved the fourth position, he pretended to defend Thomas Jr., but actually?It is to defend No. 29, quickly create a defensive encirclement, and let No. 29 get into the encirclement.But Thomas Jr. made the shot by himself, but the ball missed. Adams wanted to block Westbrook to get the rebound and then launched Westbrook blitzkrieg. But this kind of opportunity, Tang Qian took aim at once, and then took the lead When the ball arrived, he went directly to the basket for a second attack and hit the bottom of the basket.

When the opponent once again relied on the star George to hit a slightly backward jumper, the Lakers still... Thomas Jr. and Tang Qian made a high pick-and-roll!This is how the Thunder team got a little angry, no, you guys are still addicted to this game, right?I really thought I was playing against a lower league.Are you kidding us?The Thunder's defense was very concentrated on this ball, and Thomas Jr. really couldn't give Tang Qian the ball. This side is still smarter. Instead of starting from Tang Qian's side, Thomas Jr. made trouble.

But...they went too far to mark Thomas Jr. for the high post. As a result, Tang Qian made the whole team hit a flank cut, and then sneaked a baseline by himself. At the same time, seeing Adams being taken out by the flank cut, he turned around and Accelerated the cut, reached the basket in a blink of an eye, and then shouted: "pass~give me~"

Thomas Jr. heard the figure, the ball wanted to pass, but was blocked by George's strong defense, and he was going to be double-teamed to death.He had to pass the ball first, and it was in Rondo's hands again.Seeing that this wave of the Lakers' offense is useless, if it is delayed for a few more seconds, the Lakers' offensive time will enter the countdown, and then the defensive success rate of this round will greatly increase.

After seeing the Lakers re-playing the ball, Tang Qian's chances were not able to be played. Adams immediately ran over and motioned Brewer to go away and come by himself.But he regretted it right away, because he just went in and hadn't stood still to see the halftime running situation, when he saw No. 29 of the Lakers jump up directly.what's the situation?What is he dancing now?I... damn it~~~~~~
No, I just came in, I...

bang~~~~
An alley-oop, with the help of inertia, Tang Qian almost hit the Thunder's Adams and dunked into the bottle with both hands.

Fortunately, the body contact was from the side, not too much, otherwise, he would definitely be detained and overturned.That would undoubtedly be even more embarrassing.

This ball is Rondo, Rondo is Rondo. When he sees a chance, he makes a fast pass. The pass is very beautiful and decisive. He catches every fleeting opportunity. Naturally, Tang Qian will not miss it. In an instant, he rose from the ground, caught the ball and dunked into the frame.

The Lakers sent the Thunder directly into a timeout not long after the start.

In the duel at the beginning of the first quarter, Donovan was completely calculated by the old-fashioned Larry Brown, and his psychological confrontation was at a disadvantage.

Thomas Jr. is just an offensive layout. In fact, Larry Brown made it very clear in the locker room about the Lakers' starting attack point.First hit the inside line, first hit No. 29 Tang Qian.

Playing with psychology, Billy Donovan is still slightly inferior to the old man Larry Brown.
