Chapter 1876 Kick Popovich off the altar
James Harden set a record for three-pointers in a single game, with 16 three-pointers in a single game, is it okay? -- Yahoo Sports.

The tyrant of our family is James.As long as your name is James, it doesn't matter whether it's your first name or your last name. — Lakers Nation.

Worst birthday ever?The tyrant laughed and said that the opponent used crazy strikes to defend himself. —Orange County Register.

Beyond Jordan Kobe?Go straight to Wilt Chamberlain?The tyrant said stop being funny, can you say something human. — the bleachers.

Harden's scoring average continued to decline, falling back to back to an average of 38+ ​​per game. —Houston Chronicle.

……

If the previous ones were just an appetizer for the devil's schedule, then the next two weeks basically entered the hell's schedule.Back and forth, you have to play the Clippers twice, the Warriors twice, and the Rockets once more, and then you have to fight the Eastern Conference powerhouses like the Celtics.It's really... peeling off the skin.And there must be back to back, which is really enough.But this year's arms race in the west is too fierce, and everyone has no choice.In the regular season, we have to play about 2 games with super teams such as the Warriors, Lakers, Rockets, and Clippers. You said how pitiful the teams in the West are.Seeing this schedule, even the big brother Bucks in the East will now take a breath.

Unfortunately not in the West.

Before that, go to San Antonio to play a game against the Spurs.It feels easier now.After all, the Spurs are now close to being dismantled and rebuilt.Leonard is gone.Parker is gone.Just one DeRozan, one Aldridge, so to speak, dual-core.But this combination is completely different from the previous double virtue combination.So their record this year is quite ugly.Even now, everyone felt that the playoffs were going to be difficult.Popovich has completely broken up with Tang Qian. Last time he publicly said that the Lakers were actually a one-man team last season. If he had a good lineup, he would have won.Pretentious?Then you put it on my head?Tang Qian directly bombarded Popovich, and then Popovich told the media after trading Leonard that we just want to add some trouble to the Lakers.This shit, really... I finally ran into the Spurs today.Tang Qian couldn't wait!

He said publicly before the game:

Tonight we must beat the Spurs!We're going to sweep the Spurs this year!They don't even want to win a game!

Popovich didn't show any weakness either, he was indeed a hawkish old man, and he said humorously:

Superstars are, of course, powerful.But it is not invincible.I'll do my best to make the tyrant uncomfortable.Although any team will have a hard time playing against our Spurs.Now some things haven't exploded yet, so the Internet is still full of "the old man is long" and "the old man is short".Many people in China are even Popovich's basketball believers, but they don't know that they don't take you seriously at all.

He is a white American, a standard hawkish military style white man, you want them to think highly of you?In their bones, in fact, no one looks down on them.Especially people who are not fair-skinned.Tang Qian also felt more and more that this old man was not a fuel-efficient lamp. He had been recruiting himself in the past, but now he had no chance at all, so he changed his attitude.Drunk?Have a drink?I care about you!If you spray me, you will have to pay the price.I'm a respectable person now.

Whatever you want to say, just say it.

You can say yes, the mouth grows on you, but how to fight back is up to you.

I have the final say.

Duncan came to watch the game tonight. He saw Tang Qian wanted to say hello, but Tang Qian wanted to beat the Spurs tonight, so naturally he didn't give the old Deng any patience.After saying something casually, he dismissed it.This makes Duncan feel like, how long has it been since he retired?Is there no card here?Tang Qian didn't care what the Spurs star wanted to do, he repeated what he said in the locker room on the spot: Go beat the opponent!Let the other side know how great we are!Don't forget!Don't hold back tonight!Destroy them completely! ! !

Our goal is... bloodbath!
Westbrook asked Tang Qian why he didn't like Popovich, and Tang Qian made Westbrook in a daze with one sentence:

I don't get along with him.

Eight, eight characters?what is this?When Westbrook was in a daze, Tang Qian explained to him a little bit, and then said in another way, you can understand it as, I don't get along with his zodiac signs.Born to be aggressive.

This, can it be like this?Westbrook is really an honest person.Believe it all?Tang Qian didn't explain too much, anyway, tonight, he is already ready to play well.Otherwise, he wouldn't have had enough of playing against the Rockets.It happened to hit the Spurs tonight, so let's settle the old and new grudges together.The Spurs lineup is DeRozan + Aldridge + Rudy Gay + Dante Cunningham + Bryn Forbes.Even if this lineup is placed in the previous league, it is average, and it is not easy to win the championship.The main reason is that their core lineup is said to be dual-core inside and outside, but the core personal ability is really not ranked in the league.Neither DeRozan nor Aldridge is the kind of person who can be the boss to provoke the entire team.The two of them are all-stars who are a little above average.Not even a superstar.The top All-Stars are barely.From this point of view, they are still suitable for playing secondaries.However, right now because the Spurs really can't find anyone, they can only get together forcibly, hoping to sign up for a group to keep warm.

On the Lakers side, there are 4 stars in peak form alone, and the top all-star superstars with both offense and defense have everything that one expects to find.Therefore, even if you look at the lineup on paper, it should be a sure win.In addition, Larry Brown is concentrating on the strong opponents the Lakers may encounter in the playoffs this season, so the Spurs are already unstable in the playoffs, and he has not paid much attention to them at all.

Yes, you said that he does not have the Spurs in his eyes this season, he is arrogant, careless, too big, etc., etc., this is no problem, because it is true that he is not thinking about the Spurs right now.And don't bother to spend time on this year's San Antonio.Without the GDP combination, even if it is a combination of double virtues, Tang Qian thinks that's it.Some people always think that Popovich is one of the most famous coaches in history.At one point, his historical ranking was even higher than the "Zen Master" Phil Jackson with 13 rings.This is complete nonsense.You see, without the GDP combination, how many rings can this so-called "old man" get, and what tricks can he come up with?It was GDP that fulfilled him, not him that fulfilled GDP.

The point is that he now feels that he is a master.

This is scary.

The Lakers originally wanted to attack Tang Qian at the beginning, but there were many people around here immediately. It seems that Popovich also focused on it before the game.In addition to the role players of the Spurs, he has been trained well, so the Lakers forced the ball to the low post inside, and the effect was not very good.The Spurs played a 2-2-1 position, and then a horn change followed by a triangle shape opened, and DeRozan shot when he got the ball.The level of tactical execution is really possible.Compared with the Raptors, it is obviously improved.Although Popovich is definitely not comparable to Zen Master, he is also the coach near President Hill, so he still has some skills.Of course, without Duncan, he might not be where he is today.But there is nothing wrong with the strength being at the historical level.

Excellent tactical execution, which has always been a symbol of the Spurs.

It has been like this for so many years.

But in the final analysis, this root was laid by the old man Larry Brown when he was coaching the Spurs.Then Popovich continued to use Larry Brown's "rigorous military management" method.Slowly develop it during this period.The Lakers quickly made adjustments, and then Tang Qian began to support and attract. The current Lakers are not the same as last season. Tang Qian, you vigorously encircled and suppressed so many that others can play.Tang Qian made a beautiful support in the middle. He and Westbrook made a small cooperation to pass the ball continuously.Westbrook gave him the ball first, and then immediately accelerated away without the ball. Tang Qian immediately covered and blocked the person, and then accurately passed the ball in. Westbrook rushed and smashed through.The center of the Spurs is Aldridge. Although Aldridge has stated many times that he does not want to play the C position at all, there is no way.Now the Spurs have no one available.It's true that Aldridge is an All-Star insider, but, his power is mainly on the offensive end.He has always done very ordinary basket protection.Athletic ability has never been his strongest point.Westbrook smashed the ball, but he couldn't stop it. Instead, he paid a foul.

After the dunk, Westbrook just yelled. He has always played passionately, which is easier to be contagious.

The style of play is also a violent flow of outside impact.

The Spurs want to do a partial two-on-two, and then use DeRozan and Aldridge as a two-man combination.It is equivalent to taking out the two strongest people, and this is their only capital now.It's a pity that there is one thing that they didn't expect very well.Even that's what the Lakers were targeting from the start, and that was...their 29-pointers.a little weak.So the style of play is relatively more dependent on tactics and ball conduction, but playing the Lakers, you can't open up space.Especially if you can't get No. [-] of the Lakers out, then you will have big problems.And if you can't open the space, your attack will be more difficult.This is why it was so difficult to score offensively in the previous NBA.In addition to defense and rhythm, the three-pointer is not so widely used, which is also a big factor.If you look at the Spurs, you'll know that Aldridge has a mid-range shot, but he doesn't have a three-pointer.DeRozan, basically came to the Spurs and stopped shooting three-pointers, and became a completely classical point-and-shoot style of play, even more classical than Kobe.Basically the position of the Jordan era.

Kobe still shot a three-pointer, and DeRozan pulled it down directly.Completely quit.

They look like Rudy Gay and Dante Cunningham can shoot three-pointers, but the latter's three-pointers are very unstable, averaging only 0.9 shots per game in his career, and only 1 per game this season. Three-point shot.Therefore, the three points cannot be completely separated.In this way, Tang Qian easily stayed inside.To be honest, since the small ball storm has swept the league, and I have started the era of the Lakers' three-game winning streak, in order to be able to pull myself out, I basically adopt a 5-pointer style of play now.In this way, there is no way for him to stay in it.No matter how hard Larry Brown tried to make a substitution, he couldn't keep it.

Therefore, why Tang Qian's blocks have decreased recently, his strength is improving, but rebounds and blocks are decreasing, this is the key.

Either there is something wrong with his strength, or the teams in the league have begun to deliberately target him.

The situation where the three of the Spurs cannot be separated, to be honest, Tang Qian has not tasted it for a long time.Therefore, he suddenly came up with an idea tonight, to accumulate a wave of rebounding and blocking data.The Spurs really have strong tactical execution. After coming to the Spurs, Aldridge's ability to pass the ball has also been greatly improved, which is not reflected in the number of assists.The main thing is to support, the understanding and implementation of tactics are much better than when he was in the Blazers.This ball is a seemingly back screen, but DeRozan's use of the pick-and-roll to cut in is just a cover, and this ball is for him.For the Spurs' center spot.Aldridge wants to shoot!But the Lakers' defense is not covered. With so many defensive strongmen, someone will soon be rotated. This is George.George touched high on the spot, and the ball interfered a lot with Aldridge.You have to know that Aldridge himself only has a 3+ standing height.So strong investment is not a good thing.But he is very experienced after all, the ball is only a little bit, George rotated from a distance and was not stable, he was jolted all of a sudden, and Aldridge immediately cut in.Don't underestimate him. Although he is a big man with 270 cm, he is a very skilled insider.

But as soon as the ball went in, it was slapped out of the air by a big yellow hand.

It hit the ground hard and went straight out of bounds.

Yes, now is the era when the free movement rule is opened, you can cut everywhere, and the delay becomes more difficult, so the number of times you hit the basket has also increased.After the lack of delay, it is actually a huge test for the ability to protect the basket inside.Magic ball, magic ball, the entire league is now being influenced by this concept, and magic ball is more than three points.Another point is, the basket.

Three points + basket.It is a complete magic ball system.

So why is it said that protecting the basket is the best magic ball defense besides switching defenses.The basket protection is strong, and the magic ball has a low shooting rate at the basket, so it is natural to be lame.Remember what the key to Magic Ball was?It's efficiency!It is efficient!A three-pointer is better than a two-pointer!The basket hit rate is high!If you let his basket hit rate be low, he will naturally be exhausted.

In particular, Tang Qian's basket-protecting inside line with athletic ability and high agility is the most scarce and most sought after type now.

In the 19-20 season, the three generals of the former time-space Lakers, thick eyebrows + Warcraft + McGee, these three even sent out nearly 20 caps in one game... What a concept.These three will cover 5-6 caps per game!This is the average!Add in those distractions and high-quality shocks, and you get a sense of how scary it can be in this day and age.Tang Qian doesn't need so many people at all, he can overwhelm him alone.He is a real god of blocking shots!If you pull it out, forget it, it's too late!If you can't pull it out... this slap is just the beginning.

Then their lineup lacks athletic ability.In other words, there is almost no point of strong athletic ability.In this way, it is easier to protect the basket.That is to say, Rudy Gay, a heartless guy who played ball, found a chance and wanted to buckle Tang Qian.For this kind of thing, Tang Qian certainly does not refuse anyone.Tang's Overlord capped Guy with a slap, and then the whole team began to charge faster. 5 against 4, the Spurs are now defenseless.How much more points per game have you conceded this season than last season?Lose 11~12 more points!Still average!You know what a concept it is!When was the last time the Spurs allowed triple-digit points per game in a season?That was the distant 94-95 season.The last time the team lost more than 110 points per game, it dates back to the late 80s.So, you have to think about how much the Spurs' defense has dropped all of a sudden.

To put it simply, this is also the first time since Popovich's coaching career that the team has lost more than 100 points.And I did it for you in one breath, averaging more than 110 points lost per game!Such a team, 5 against 4, has no pressure to defend and counterattack.The Lakers are all very athletic.In the end, it ended with Butler's hit to the basket.

The Lakers quickly began to gain the upper hand. Popovich quickly called a timeout and wanted to play tactical ball, especially now that it was time for the bench. The opponent's main force went down to rest for several times, that is, a tired 29 was still left.At this time, Popovich believes that it is time to narrow the score difference and chase points.So he paused.

After the timeout, it really is time to play tactical ball, which is basically the same choice for the Spurs' bench round for thousands of years.

If the Argentine Manu Ginobili is still there, then maybe there will be some variables, but now... it is almost impossible.

Because the Argentines have retreated.

Parker is gone too.

Yes, Popovich may want to say that the old man's training ability is not fake, and the old man's tactical ability is not fake.On this point, Tang Qian naturally agrees. Strong execution and free movement rules also make off-ball penetration more convenient and accurate. The Spurs' tactical play is indeed very subtle.Very powerful.Even if these people are just some substitute players.

Neither Aldridge nor DeRozan are physical masters, so it is normal to go down and rest.

At this time, Popovich thinks he is most proud of himself.

Strong tactical execution can make the role substitute players not to be timid in case of trouble, play steadily, and give the main players a lot of rest time.It was indeed a capable performance.But still the same sentence, they can't make five three-pointers, and they can't make three-pointers like the Houston Rockets' Extreme Magic Ball that pulls huge distances.Their three-pointers are now flawed.The bench is better, but it can't be stretched enough.The Lakers didn't play very well off the bench and felt a bit cold, while the Spurs scored 2 three-pointers.At this time, Larry Brown quickly adjusted and let people go up to force the defense. The Spurs now don't have any masters in three-point shooting with the ball.Almost all of them are three-point fixed-point forts that require a lot of shooting space.

Therefore, as soon as the defense changed, the Spurs' outside three-pointers suddenly became less accurate.

Popovich seems to have expected this too. After all, he has been practicing for so many years, and the experience of countless games has allowed him to practice.There is no need to pause, because it has been arranged before, just to prevent this situation.After the tactical operation, Patrick Millston, who was in possession of the ball, nodded slightly, and then made the same gesture to the Spurs players.

This tactic is a V-shaped cut in the top arc. The test is the penetration of the flanks and the containment of the outside line. Mills handled the ball very accurately, and he also penetrated while giving the ball.Then the weak side made a baseline cut, and the wing immediately gave the ball. Davis Bertans got the ball and took three steps directly. European big men are all highly skilled in tactics.Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to come here.

But this ball also has the common problem of European big men, that is, insufficient athletic ability.

If the ball was a black man who was violent, he would probably have dunked it immediately. Tang Qian was attracted by the running on the weak side. If it was a black man, it might be too late to help defend.But if you're white, or European, it's different.A big stride, then jumped up and straightened his arms, and slapped him with a slap.

Crack~~~ Hat, hat? ? ? ?Can this be a hat? ? ?This guy is so heavy, can he still jump like this? ? ?
But the ball was picked up by the Spurs again. It was Mills. Mills was relatively small, so he was quick to maneuver. The ball was not adjusted when the Lakers were still grabbing rebounds. Little projectile!But, you should do a big projectile, a small projectile, after all, the scope is a bit small.In addition, he was originally not tall, and after taking off his shoes, he was only 180cm at most. No matter how high his shot point is, the height of such a person is only that high.Tang Qian stood under the basket with the ball, quickly adjusted his center of gravity, bent his knees, and then took off.

Moreover, it is still a standard rocket block~ To be precise, it should be a rocket grab cap.

Here, caught? ? ?I'm a small projectile, right? ? ?Shouldn't this be an offense to avoid the paint and block the rim? ? ?Did I play a fake basketball? ? ?It's been a long time since I let Tang Qian stay in the basket like this.The Spurs will definitely pay the price tonight.

Tang Qian is comfortable, but his opponents are generally not comfortable.

The key is Popovich. He seems to be fighting with Tang Qian. He still doesn't focus on flying kites on the outside, but calls a timeout and continues to draw ghosts on the tactical board.

But is this new Chinese height of the Great Wall of China so aggressive?
This year is the first year that Popovich stepped down from the altar.

Tang Qian kicked him down with his own feet.
