Chapter 1961 One Just Got Five

Because the Lakers have home court advantage, the series starts with the Lakers at home.

The Lakers have played against the Mosaic team several times in the series.In fact, it is normal. At this stage, more and more super teams are beginning to appear concentratedly.For example, this year's Nuggets are definitely a dark horse type.Otherwise, under normal circumstances, some teams that already know they will advance will stand in the top dog position.Tang Qian has played a total of 4 playoff games with this team in his career, second only to Yu Yuyong, so he can be regarded as an old acquaintance.

Although the Mosaic team declared before the game that they would perform differently from the regular season, as far as Tang Qian looked, this was simply nonsense.Which team will play with the same performance in the regular season in the playoffs?This is simply a fighter in nonsense, just to fool the fans outside.The two teams entered the field, and after the warm-up, the introduction began, and then the game officially started.

The Lakers still have a relatively traditional starting lineup, that is, Tang Qian + Covington + George + Butler + Westbrook.This is also the lineup that has played the most in the regular season this season.The opposite side is not unexpected, that is, Harden + Paul + Griffin + Capela + Ariza.Still looks great.Especially after leaving the incompatible Anthony, Ariza, a high-quality 3D striker, is obviously more suitable for this Houston Mosaic team when he returns to the starting lineup.Because they don’t have so many possessions to distribute, Harden and Paul will have the vast majority, and Griffin will also have the remaining points. If they want to distribute it to Carme, who is unwilling to play without the ball and prefers to play offense with the ball Ro Anthony, that would only take two balls to play.

This lineup is obviously more powerful than the so-called Big Four lineup.More balanced.

As long as Harden doesn't mess around, he still has some fighting power, not the kind of Timberwolves, Grizzlies, and Jazz.However, the Trail Blazers have been affected too much by injuries this year, and it is a bit surprising that they did not enter the playoffs.This team is too unstable. Without Lillard and McCrum, it is a scumbag team. After the All-Star Game, a wave of 15 consecutive losses directly let them fall into the hell of the West.But it's hard to tell if he goes in. As far as the situation in the Western Conference is concerned this year, he has encountered several super teams, and there is nothing he can do about it.So there are regrets, but it will not affect their careers.

A round trip is most likely.

It is said that the Clippers, who started the game first, have already tyrannized their opponents, and the Jazz almost lost their shape.Don't think it's an exaggeration, the main reason is that the Jazz can't defend against the opposing team's all-giant lineup.James playing the No. 1 position is indeed a very strong operation, and once it comes to the playoffs, you also know that he will definitely transform.Needless to say, this is a routine operation.In the past, the team did not have a super small forward like Leonard at the 3rd position, and he couldn't play the 1st position even if he wanted to.Can only play point forward.Well now, Leonard is here, and Leonard, who has rested enough regular season games, is also attacking and defending tonight, playing against the 3rd position and almost collapsing.Joe Ingles was defended by Leonard and only scored one goal in the game. He is a No. 3 who averages about ten points per game, and he played like this.Tell me, how much more can the Jazz have?

Why do you say that, because the Jazz's scoring ability has not been good, and there are still people who can fill in for other teams without this ten points.But the Jazz, there's no one to fill.Mitchell has seen the power of James in the playoffs.And against No. 23, the former felt a huge sense of oppression.This is something he didn't feel at all during the regular season.

James is different from a certain James. In the playoffs, he immediately gave up the previous label of "walking James" and suddenly started to integrate offense and defense.This is what he has been doing for so many years.It feels like he has no defense anymore, it's just that he selectively starts to pull back in the regular season, you'll see in the playoffs.At least he needs to defend the key rounds well, and he is rarely passed or missed.But this has long been a regular thing in the regular season.In the playoffs, he turned into a good defense point, which is really surprising.There are not many in history who can switch states and modes in this way.

When the Jazz were finally trying to chase points, James blocked their strongest main scorer, second-year Mitchell, for three consecutive goals.Then he converted by himself, added tough shots and horseback riding shots, scored 5 points and 2 assists, and the game was completely dead.Don't look at the Jazz's so-called defensive core Gobert, but it's true that Gobert has defensive talent, but...too light!When facing James, this is often pushed back, and the confrontation cannot be stopped.If you can't stop it, then you can't prevent the No. 23 tank from breaking through.And now that James still has a stable shot, he can even make Gobert messy and dizzy.The Clippers 139-39 in the game, nearly 40 points bloodbathed the opponent.The biggest score difference in the game once opened to 46 points!Therefore, this was a massacre without any suspense. The Jazz had nothing to do and every position was dismembered. It would be a ghost if they could still win.The three giants of the Clippers jointly scored 85 points, coupled with excellent offensive and defensive integration, the game came to an end easily.

This game also made the Jazz almost paralyzed all at once. After James became an offensive and defensive model, he was dislocated to defend Mitchell successfully. The Jazz lost their only single point, and they were doomed to be powerless.As for their No. 1 Rubio, that's a guy who doesn't have much scoring threat at all.One Danny Green is enough to hold down.Even defensive overflow.This ball also gave everyone in the Clippers a sigh of relief. After the game, the Big Three said:

I think we are strong, and the playoffs proved it even more.

The regular season is not so exciting for us, we just want to play well in the playoffs.

I think we're a playoff team.The playoffs are our stage.

Damn, it's more like a 666 than a [-] when you win.But this does prove that the Clippers are really starting to explode their power in the playoffs.It is estimated that tomorrow's Cosmos team will not be worse than the Timberwolves.Because these superteams in the West will really start to step on the gas pedal when they reach the playoffs.The combat effectiveness of the regular season cannot be used to compare their combat effectiveness in the playoffs at all.

The point of the manga is that they turned into Super Saiyans in the playoffs.The regular season is just the regular state of black hair.

Now that the Clippers have won, it's great, and it just adds a boost to the Lakers.Tang Qian was in the locker room, and said domineeringly to the players of the team: The opponent abused the opponent by 39 points, you should know what we are going to do, right?
Since it is a city team, it cannot lose.Play hard tonight and beat your opponents.

How about not surpassing the Clippers?It's very simple, stay with the whole team for extra training!Don't tell me about Santa Barbara, practice for an extra hour and you won't die! ! !Do you understand everything?In order to go back to each house and find each mother after the game, everyone cheers up tonight.

So you will find that the Lakers who came out tonight are more serious and focused. Under normal circumstances, they will not enter the state so quickly.Here Mosaic played fast from the beginning, Paul and Harden dribbled the ball and pushed quickly, and played the German coach's favorite inverted V quickly.But the Lakers quickly prepared for a counterattack. The faster you push, the faster we push, we will see who is faster.

Westbrook was also assigned this task before the game, let's come first, head-to-head!Don't be cowardly!Let the team's spirit not be suppressed by the opponent from the beginning!The Mosaic team didn't expect this to happen either. To be honest, except for Yu Yuyong, no one dared to push against them like this.Because Tang Qian and Harden were basically fighting balloons in the regular season of the Lakers, there was no chance to use this, and the game was over.But the playoffs are different. Obviously, the No. 13 has also been "educated" by the whole team.The final game of the regular season was a mess, enough to keep him from doing as he pleases.

Especially when facing the Los Angeles Lakers.

Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be a Houston version of "Camp Shoutout".

This way of playing is indeed much better, and the push, the two such strong backcourts of the Mosaic team are enough to fight against the Lakers' Westbrook blitz.And obviously, in this way, Westbrook's physical energy consumption is greater than theirs.Because they have two people coming in turns, they can use their physical strength to resist. Even if they can't keep up for a while, they can continue. When Westbrook's physical strength declines, they can fight back.This is a way.But this kind of confrontation method, that is, this mosaic team has this condition, even the universe brave and the Clippers can't come up with two top-level core offensive and pass backcourts.This is the special advantage of this mosaic team.

However, changes in the playoffs are common. Otherwise, the regular season tests tactical routines, and the playoffs tests impromptu reactions.Not without reason.This kind of fast pushing is very exhausting, or do you think that Donovan didn't want to do it all the time in the Thunder?The main reason is that when you are tired, your legs and feet will slow down, so that both the turnover rate and the threat of counterattack will decline in all directions.That would lose the original meaning of this tactic.But this Mosaic team is not like this, they have a unique advantage.That's why it's hard for you to hold them down when they fight.They have two super backcourts that combine attack and pass. You don't have one. If you play against him, you will suffer.

Moreover, the Mosaic team's magic ball shots are very far away, so the space is wide open, so that your defense cannot be comprehensive.

Harden also learned how to behave. This time he didn't force his offense. He still fought one-on-one, but he resolutely quit on one-on-two.On this point, it seems that he was also scolded severely by D'Antoni, and then he was sprayed on the Internet to recognize himself.

Yes, I am the strongest singles player in active service. One-on-one is my strong point. If it is not a breakthrough attack, one-on-two is fine.

One-on-one is my field.

Under D'Antoni's guidance, Harden also felt that it's okay to play one hit and two hits.Score as usual, and divide the ball if you are attracted, isn't it reasonable and labor-saving to play like this?Especially when the physical fitness is sufficient, it is true that there is no solution to a fight.Averaged 36 seven points per game, this ability is still there.Tang Qian still let the whole team start to warm up and get into shape first. After the first quarter, he started to score by himself when he was on the bench.He has this physical advantage that is almost impossible to replicate, so there is no rush at all.

In this place, the Mosaic team also responded, using Paul to continue to lead the team. Anyway, not to mention defense, just try to score and do the exchange.

Under the current defensive rules, even in the playoffs where the intensity is upgraded, the test is more about offense than defense.D'Antoni even believes that the era of free movement rules is the era when his ultimate magic ball will go to glory.The weaker the defense, the less impact it will have on his original system's disadvantages, and the more his strengths will be improved.

It seems that this is the case.

But an idea is always an idea. It depends on whether it can be implemented or not, and whether it can be realized.Tang Qian's scoring in this section is simply invincible. The Mosaic team obviously tried their best to connect with Paul in this section to improve the team's scoring efficiency, but it is still incomparable with this guy.Tang Qian has now gradually mastered the standard of Tang Qian's Law 2.0, so the feeling of restraint at the beginning of the season is almost gone. In addition, the Mosaic team does not have a real big inside and big meat shield to defend against. Nene, the testosterone fighter, is completely useless.Nene is about to retire after this season, and his physical condition has also declined sharply. Currently, he can only average 3+2 per game.The water dispenser has completely turned into a water dispenser, and he can't be pulled out to project, so now he only has a height, but other shit is useless.

It's a bit like a simple decoration. Tang Qian passed him, and when he made a wrong step, he didn't even need to do three-threat shaking, and he could pass him just like passing a log.Scoring like this is too simple.Nene didn't even have the strength to pull him.A wave of 5 shots made 5 of 2, and Paul almost vomited blood directly.He managed to get 5 steals, which pushed the team's counterattack momentum up a wave. In the end, this guy is good. He made 5 of 4 shots, 3 of 13 free throws, and [-] points directly to the Clippers. get down.

During this period of time, the Mosaic team only scored 10 points.

7 of 4 shots, this hit rate is not bad at all.Also scored 2 three-pointers, which is pretty good for the rotation time.Chris Paul also tried his best to get 2 more possessions for the Mosaic team.But still did not overwhelm the opponent.Not even even.

The point is, Nene is too slow inside, can't defend on the defensive end, and gets in the way on the offensive end, so that No. 29 can't pull away. Due to the defensive reputation of this oriental monster, almost everyone dare not rush in to fight.Therefore, although this section is 7 of 4 shots, it still lacks lethality.Paul quickly called a timeout and wanted the whole team to start adjusting. His suggestion to D'Antoni was to replace Nene and play a full fast lineup.In this way, at least the offensive efficiency will be better.It is a way. After Tang Qian is pulled out in this way, Tang Qian's protection of the basket is greatly weakened.The Mosaic team can also go to the basket more.

Even because there will be more mistakes when playing faster, it is easier for a small lineup to get the wrong ball, so everything is developing in the direction Paul expected.Except... the score.What?why?Paul has worked so hard for so long, and he has also played both offensive and defensive ends, but how could he know that the score difference has not been narrowed when he looks up!Why?The opponent is basically going to be replaced with a full bench lineup!This is not good? ? ?
This is a trade-off made by the Lakers. The longer the bench time is, the better the physical fitness of the main players will be, and the higher the efficiency will be.At that time, the main lineup will be bombarded, which can take a lot of advantage.But the key to doing this is... you have to have a solid bench lineup.Otherwise it is useless.They will also pretend to be smart and cocoon themselves.The Lakers generally don't do this, but after seeing the opponent replace Nene, Larry Brown immediately replaced the rest of the main lineup, that is, George and Covington. Don't think he is being foolish. , He is going to use the strong rebounding ability of the Lakers' No. 29 to increase the combat effectiveness and combat time of the substitute lineup.

Because the opponent has a smaller lineup, the rebound protection will naturally become worse. It is also beneficial to the whole team to get a few more offensive rebounds during this period.This period of luck is also good. Although there are many long-range shots, there are many low-post rebounds and few high-post rebounds. If this is the case, Tang Qian will be like a pillar in a small lineup.

Stand out from the crowd.

He got rebounds in a row, and then scored in a row!In fact, the Lakers' substitute didn't play well on the outside during this period, and the touch was not good, but due to Tang Qian's personal performance, he directly held down the opponent's substitute to attack across the board.Seeing this, Paul was shocked and angry. He led the whole team to attack, but was stopped by one person alone?It's an insult to his No. 1 beliefs.Because a traditional No. 1 position is to firmly believe in the supremacy of the team and the strongest team.

Now, what's the matter?

So Paul increased the accuracy of his passing and wanted to increase the team's offensive firepower, but until the timeout came and the substitute time began to enter the mixed lineup time, the Mosaic team still did not catch up with the score difference.As for the score of this section, the on-site commentator Bill McDonald also broadcast it "intimately":

20-19, what do you mean?The Lakers had 20 points and the opponent had 19 points. During this period, they also lost by 1 point.

The tyrant alone withstood the firepower of the opponent's team.

……

Big fire!I know you are amazing, but you make me feel very embarrassed like this!

Paul has already exploded his ability, but the result is still not satisfactory. Although D'Antoni thinks that he has perfectly completed his task at this stage, this is not the case at all in the eyes of Paul, who has the pride of a traditional point guard in his bones. thing.During this period of time, his team was controlled by the No. 29 alone.And looking at the score, it was slightly overwhelmed.This really made him feel a little tight in the chest.Tang Qian's 18 points, 1 assist and 4 offensive rebounds directly made Paul's series explosion meaningless.He also won a lot of rest and adjustment time for the main force of the Lakers.

This guy... alone resisted the five people on his side.

Even though it was a substitute lineup, even though it didn't have a meat shield, and couldn't properly target and restrict him, then this is... a bit too exaggerated.

And this kind of thing seems to be more and more common in this No. 29 body.

There are only five players alone, although it is only on the offensive end, it also makes Paul even more afraid of the No. 29 again.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about this paragraph, he didn't think his number 13 could do it at all.

The gap in scoring ability has actually been reflected in the details.

And the one who controls the field is himself!It's not a cat or a dog!
He shook his head, feeling that Mosaic's road to the playoffs was getting narrower and narrower.
