Chapter 1814 Sixty minutes at halftime

Tianchao Sports Station.

"Although the Rockets are behind, they can't be careless, because their ability to score points may be stronger than the Warriors to some extent. It is unreasonable for the magic ball to explode with three-pointers."

"Yes, I agree with you. It is overflowing. The Lakers must continue to be steady to have a chance to win, and they must not be careless. In the last round, the opponent was G3 leading by 17 points. It was too careless, and the result was eliminated in one breath. It turned around. The Lakers should use this as a lesson for the past."

Live nationwide.

"The Rockets still haven't opened up the scoring, and Harden hasn't opened up either. It's normal to lose points. Their unlimited defenses can't deal with the tyrant of the Lakers. So now they just need to sort out the offensive problems."

"Houston hasn't exerted its strength yet. Otherwise, the score difference will allow the Lakers to lead by double digits?"

The Rockets fans on the Internet also got into a fight with the domestic fans of the Lakers. After all, the Rockets were the "home team of China" for many years before the Fatty Mo incident broke out.At one time, he called his Rocket Red China Red.It's a pity that he was suddenly ruined by some fat white man who wanted to transform into politics.The boss of the Rockets is also out of luck. Before the Rockets bought Paul, it was about 16.7 billion US dollars.Later, when Paul was won, I felt that the opportunity had come, and the market value soared to $22 billion.This is simply compared to his 1993 purchase of the Rockets by Alexander.You have to know that the owner of the Rockets was a poor man.The combined net worth may be less than 8500 million U.S. dollars, but in the end, he spent 2002 million to win the Rockets. In the same year... the Rockets won the championship, and the next year, they won the championship again.Market capitalization soared.When Yao Ming came in 22, he raised another sum, and by the time of the final sale, it was already 394 billion.It's a pity that the new boss's fortune is not very good, so he is also the only one among so many Rockets bosses who will lose money when he takes over.From the 1th place on the original rich list, it plummeted to 2th place in one to two months.Tell me, it's not bad luck.

But now, there are still a lot of fans of the Rockets in China. Even if the Lakers now have Tang Qian and Yi Jianlian, it doesn't mean that there are no enemies on the opposite side.After all, there is a saying, we also have Chinese players, don't we?
Some unscrupulous media also like and like No Wind Rises and Waves, so let me say: Ouch, Chinese Derby.

Derby, did you mean the last drinking fountain on the Rockets bench?

A-Lian even greeted him at the beginning, but Tang Qian didn't say hello at all, because in his opinion, this guy was enough, he didn't make progress, and he was full of complaints, who could be blamed?There is no shortage of geniuses in this world, not to mention that he is not a real genius in basketball.In the whole world, it's nothing.

In the second quarter, the Lakers came on the bench, but No. 29 was still online. This is simply a "cheating".Because even if it's the playoffs, unless it's a life-and-death tie-break match in the elimination station, it won't be said that a starting player will really play the entire game.It will be a significant increase in playing time compared to the regular season, but, it will definitely not really stop at all. 40+ is considered very good.So there will be some substitute time.Not everyone is the four-star star of the universe team. You can always put 2 All-Stars or above on the field to lead the team.At least the Rockets don't have this ability.They are a dual-core system. Harden has played 35+ in the regular season and 36+ in the playoffs so far. Paul has played 31+ in the regular season this season and 34+ in the playoffs.These two people, looking at history, are not physical monsters. Paul was okay when he was young, but now he is at the end of his peak, and Harden has always been a problem with his complete physical fitness.In the case of him not thinking about defense, there is no 40+ appearance season in the regular season.In the playoffs, the two players who played 40+ games all shot 3% from the field, which was a mess.So D'Antoni has to take this into consideration.Most of the time, you will find that Harden and Paul are not actually playing together on the court at all.

Because they have to lead the teams separately, otherwise the Rockets' offense will be chaotic and disorderly during the bench time.

This is also the second weakness of the matchup between the Rockets and the Lakers. No mid-range is the first. The team's peak lineup is not online for long enough, far inferior to Cosmos Yong.So the Lakers continue to focus on people.As usual, it was Harden who went down to rest first. After all, the Rockets are now talking about dual-core, but anyone with a discerning eye knows who is the real team leader.The Rockets are No. 13, and Paul can only be said to be a sub-core.After Harden went down, Paul began to connect the team's offense. Sure enough, the offensive efficiency of Harden was much better than before. After all, the Lakers' defense this season is hard to describe.It was once ranked the worst in the league, but after running in, it was at the middle and lower levels of the league, which gave the Rockets a chance.Scoring is not that difficult.

During the substitute time, only Beverly's defense on the perimeter is slightly better, and the rest are the same. Josh Smith seems to be making up the numbers now.I really don't know why, it's only been a new year, and when he returned from injury, he was completely out of shape.It was as if he was hallucinating before the injury.A lot of colanders.In addition, those who shoot three-pointers on the Rockets are too daring to shoot. After all, everyone understands the German coaching system.Those who dare not vote will not come up at all now.Well, except for the mascot.

Then swipe, swipe, and several three-pointers went in, and the Rockets' momentum was a little bit up.

Seeing this, Larry Brown decisively called a timeout, and then he said loudly:
Tang ~ why don't you continue to fight?

Tang Qian was taken aback and said: I have played so much before, now I should show my teammates a performance, right?I'm not a pushy person.Larry Brown was suddenly furious. He glared and said angrily: 35 points in a single quarter?Alone?You heard me clearly, for the next game, you continue... here!I!beat!

Do you understand?Continue to do the "big domination" in the first quarter for me! ! !Did you hear that? ? ?tyrant! ! !
Tang Qian saw that Larry Brown's eyes were about to pop out when he was getting old. Based on the idea of ​​respecting the old and loving the young, he chose to be a "well-behaved" good classmate.This may make Larry Brown less violent and live a few more years.

Then after spraying Tang Qian's "selflessness", Larry Brown sprayed the Lakers' defense again, and at the same time immediately made the following substitution decision: replaced with a lineup that had not been used before.Tang Qian + Yi Jianlian + Covington + Beverly + Kuzma.This is a mixed lineup, and at the same time... all four of them defend well, except for Yi Jianlian, who are all single defenders who defend well.The reason why I didn't use it before was because I didn't get enough injuries in the regular season, and it didn't work against the Thunder, so I swept away.The lineup of the Warriors is too short, and it is easy for opponents to take advantage of their height, and it is not fast enough to follow the fifth team. At the same time, the Warriors have a strong lineup in the playoffs, whether it is the main time or the substitute time, and we need to pay attention to the lineup The allocation of time will not make the substitute time become full of loopholes.

But against the Rockets, there is no such concern. The Rockets only have dual cores, and usually only one superstar is on the court at a time when they are on the bench. In addition, tonight they will blow up their opponents in one go, so they adopted such a defensive method.Although we haven't practiced together, at least Covington + Beverly + Rondo are veteran players who have won consecutive championships before. They have already learned Larry Brown's defensive style and defensive system. Adding Tang Qian, at least Now single-point defense is no longer a problem.As for Alian, just do your best. Fortunately, there are not as many muscular clubs as before. Yi Jianlian himself has already reached 258 pounds tonnage, which is completely different from that in the NBA before. This is enough in the space age. up.Look, Nene on the opposite side is not as heavy as him.It can be seen that although Alian has not played in the NBA before, she has not relaxed at all about her own requirements.

This is also a solid guarantee that Yuan Shikong can still kill the Quartet in 2019, and the international arena is also true.

All of a sudden, the Lakers' defensive ability suddenly improved. The Rockets' current bench lineup is really not big enough, unlike the Warriors' bunch of people who are about 2 meters high.Paul on their side is only 1.8 meters, and the main sixth man Gordon is only in his early 190s. Even if Harden is on, that's the case.They are not tall.This gives this lineup room to play.

The lack of height gives them a chance to be stopped by the Lakers' sudden defensive lineup.When Tang Qian saw this, he basically beat Nene to nothing.Nene should really retire, it's just getting old.Tang Qian didn't feel any excitement after hitting it.Because to be honest, if you can't get in, then there is a problem.At this level, it is really possible to dare to defend yourself alone.However, he didn't know that in the original space, D'Antoni defended Durant of the Warriors in the same way in the first game.As a result, he was shot by Durant and scored almost forty points.Their inside defense is even worse, and they have to defend alone, so I really don't know what to think.Do you really think that this year's advantage is much greater than last year's?
Nonsense.

As soon as the Lakers' defensive ability improved, the Rockets were immediately stymied. Unless Paul played hard, the lineup would be crushed by the Lakers.And Paul, you also know that unless there is a big outbreak, otherwise, the ability to attack tough problems is not enough desire and ability.He is a true traditional point guard, so the Lakers suddenly widened the score difference again.There is no other way but to re-enter James Harden, otherwise the situation will not be opened and the team's three-pointer advantage will not be fully utilized.Can't find any vacancies.

As soon as Harden came up, he came by himself. Now that his scoring ability has improved, his desire to pass the ball has been greatly reduced compared to last year.Don't look at the 8.8 assists in the regular season this year. In fact, there are only 6+ in the playoffs.Considering the number of rounds of the Rockets' offensive and defensive speed, and James Harden's all-inclusive style of play, these statistics are not very good at all.After all, under the dominance of the positional warfare of the triangle offense, Kobe, the so-called blacksmith, had 5 to 6 assists in the playoffs at his peak. You must know that the Lakers mainly focused on positional warfare during their period, which is completely different from the Rockets who beat and bombed. different.Therefore, Harden's ability to connect passes and assists in the playoffs, counting the number of rounds and rhythm, is not as amazing as it is said to be.Especially now, he has completely entered the road of scoring evolution, and even more so, he puts his singles first.

This year, he is the most favorite singles outsider in the league, none of them, and this percentage will increase year by year in the future.

It was Beverly who defended Harden. To be honest, this defensive matchup is not dominant, because Beverly, like the injured Butler, is basically a hard defensive flow.And this kind of defender, Harden is the most restrained.So to be honest, Beverly is also very nervous now, and has no bottom at all.Fearing that I was sticking too tight, the bearded Rockets just let out an ecstatic "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" and sent him to the free throw line.

Judging from Harden's free throw percentage, that's a bonus.

But unexpectedly, tonight Harden seemed to be hooked on the three-pointer, and he didn't make it, just pulled up and shot.

As a result, there was a sound of "dang"~ the iron was struck~~~
The Lakers immediately grabbed the rebound, pushed past Tang Qian, and quickly fell to the ground. It needs to be explained that the Rockets' defensive transition is actually not good. They are defending now, and that is all because of infinite defense changes.And the team configuration is very strange. Harden, a defender, can rely on strength and large tonnage to withstand the low post. He is the best guard-level low post defender in the league. At the same time, their small man also has Tucker with 198cm, which is also a large tonnage. Guys, so all can top people.Then the speed of changing defenses is fast, so that you can't break through easily, and you don't suffer from physical confrontation.But the Lakers didn't pay much attention to this at all tonight. In the past, Tang Qian was left alone... Seriously, D'Antoni didn't know what happened to this former disciple, but he was so physically fit? ? ?
It's not tiring at all.A lot of people follow the team quickly, is it still a seven-foot behemoth center?It didn't drag down the team's rhythm at all, so a new style of play this year was derived called "quick counter attack".It sounds awkward and tongue-twisting, but, hey, don't say it, it's just such a description.And very appropriate.It is obviously a position to attack, but the speed of advancement is the speed of rapid defense and counterattack. If you think about it... such a weird situation almost never existed in NBA history.At least since there are a lot of video materials, there is no such thing.Before that, there was no systematic method of landing and playing, let alone complicated techniques and tactics of positioning.So this trick that the Lakers suddenly offered in this year's playoffs, the Warriors were a little caught off guard, okay?This is the rapid advance of the four small guards + Tang Qian's follow-up, or a quick counterattack, or a quick ground attack.There is no conflict at all.

After Tang Qian's ball came over, he landed on the ground and hit directly. The Rockets' Nene was forcibly knocked over, and then he could only watch the Lakers' No. 29 pull up and fly into the sky for a dunk.With a bang, another two-pointer was scored.

Tang Qian felt a little embarrassed seeing this, no, is this still the playoffs?It's about fifty minutes for me.

This fucking is still the first half, okay? ? ?If the Rockets can keep up with the rhythm today, then I have the confidence to have a super scoring feast tonight.It's a pity... Harden on the opposite side didn't live up to it, and Harden made another three-pointer... Oh, I'll go, I still don't make it! ! !Harden's three-pointer tonight was absolutely amazing. It was the seventh in the first half, but he didn't make a single one.This is really eye-catching.

To be honest, although Harden has been promoted to a super scorer this year, he has been playing in the playoffs all the way to the present, with great ups and downs.Sometimes I scored 40+ points, but there are also times when I scored more than ten or twenty points.And not less.There are a total of 17 playoff games in the original space, and 7 of them scored less than 25 points. For a super scorer, this is a big loss of standard.Not to mention that he still has several games with more than ten points.Especially three-pointers, if Durant is half super god and half super ghost in three-pointers this year, then Harden is a lot of super ghosts. Over 5% to 6% of the 2% three-point shooting rate, this shooting rate is even more ghostly compared to Durant, his big brother.Look at Westbrook this year. On the contrary, the second brother's three-pointers are the highest this year.

What?You say it's impossible?How could it be Westbrook? ? ?But unfortunately, this is the real answer.

So tonight, the Lakers really prepared for a long time, and seriously guarded against the opponent's magic ball attack. The outside three-pointer is especially the most important thing. However, tonight... Harden can't open it, and the rest of them have a chance Not much more, it's all in a mess.

When ~ when Harden missed another three-pointer, Tang Qian was stunned, and he was going to score 60 points at halftime tonight.

What is the situation.

Are you really crazy?Tang Qian felt a little embarrassed when he hit the ball, and started to make the ball for the outside line, but this was immediately "slammed" by Larry Brown on the sidelines: What are you doing?Don! ! !Attack, attack, attack me! ! !Your success rate at this point is so high, and your opponent doesn't double-team you, what kind of pass do you pass! ! !Give me a call! ! !
uh...

There is also the head coach who dislikes me passing the ball in series to support the whole team, okay, okay, let's continue playing.

Tang Qian made a false move without the ball, and Nene was immediately deceived by his nerves. Then Tang Qian turned around with ease, and went in to catch Rajon Rondo's alley-oop.Let me go, boom~~~ I don't know how many times he bombed the Rockets' basket tonight.

If the basket has something to say, it must say: What can you do! ! !I'm going to be impounded! ! !
Can't you feel sorry for me?

Of course, it's not that Larry Brown wants the Lakers to play cancer tactics, but tonight's tactics is to defeat the opponent in the first half. Now that he sees the opportunity, he naturally can't let it go easily.Then, Tang Qian scored 62 points in the first half.Only missed two sports goals.This is really... Tang Qian himself felt a little embarrassed.

This score...is playing a game.

The Rockets lost 30 points in the first half because of Harden's three-pointer.

This game is basically set.

This is too easy.

This is a win.
