Chapter 352 Battle in California (recommendation for the big chapter~)

brush~
Kobe's touch finally recovered, which was similar to Tang Qian's impression. In the last quarter and overtime, he became a "black mamba" again.

But tonight, I'm not going to let overtime happen again.

Because I want to kill the opponent directly.

Otherwise, what is the point of opening the silver rebound card?
As if seeing the thinking of No. 29 of the Lakers, David Lee and Festus Ezeri looked at each other slightly, and strengthened the rebound protection for the Warriors.But this doesn't work.After Ci Shiping missed a three-pointer, Tang Qian resisted two people, then took the offensive rebound, and then without any explanation, he rose from the ground and hit the Warriors' basket with both hands.

Boom! ! !

In terms of bullet speed, neither David Lee nor Festus Azeri were on the same level as Tang Qian.

It's too far.

In order not to waste the effect of the ability card and maximize its effectiveness, Tang Qian chose to block the defensive rebound to help Jordan Hill, who came off the bench, get the rebound.And he himself will compete for offensive rebounds in an all-round way.Because the value of offensive rebounds is far greater than defensive rebounds.

This trade-off is not difficult to make.

when~
The Warriors' shooting percentage has also dropped, and even the Splash Brothers cannot maintain the level of shooting every shot.This is the opportunity for the Lakers. Kobe made an inside-out cut run, and then made a three-pointer, swiped~, and hit the Warriors' basket.

In fact, Kobe's open three-pointers are very good, but in the career of the Black Mamba, there were not many opportunities for open three-pointers. In addition, Kobe's shot selection was extremely problematic, so this led to his three-pointers. The rate has not been able to break through 40%.Of course, you can think so. In this case, X.***.T can still maintain close to 33% of his career three-pointers. This is the only one in the NBA, and there is no semicolon.

But soon, the Warriors returned a long two points. For this kind of ball, Tang Qian was powerless. After all, he is an inside player, and it is difficult to take into account the defensive surface beyond the penalty area.Even if they go out to make up defense occasionally, that is a minority, and it is absolutely impossible to float outside to defend all the time.This is the flaw of the center forward. It is not a matter of your inflexibility or good physical fitness, but the definition of the center forward position. Their main task is to guard the inside line, not to defend the outside line.A center can be called a strong defensive center if his interior defense is very strong and his exterior defense is average or even poor.But if, on the other hand, the inside defense is weak, then no matter how good your outside defense is, it will be marked as a center with a poor defense.

The center is the basket, the paint area, and the endorsement of the inside line. As for the others, they are all additional and dispensable.

Don't use the clips of a few centers defending the perimeter alone. That is called special, not universal. This can be clearly seen by looking at the total defensive ratio.Olajuwon is considered to have the largest effective defensive distance among centers, but his perimeter defense ratio is also extremely limited. Most of the time, he still guards the basket and the penalty area.If a team wants the center to frequently expand the defense and supplement the perimeter, then this team must be a very bad team.

Once, twice, or three times is okay, if you do this throughout the game, even Olajuwon will suffer from a nervous breakdown and greatly reduce his defensive efficiency.Besides, where is the center's strongest defensive area?Of course, it's the penalty area under the basket, and the outside line has never been an area that the center should pay too much attention to.

Are these guys really that accurate?Seeing that the opponent immediately returned a ball, Steve Nash couldn't help but think to himself.After all, as the riser of the league's running and bombing tactics, his understanding of small ball tactics is far deeper than anyone on the Lakers.

Kobe ran without the ball to shoot again, but this time, the Warriors clearly strengthened their control over Kobe.Playing off the ball is completely different from playing with the ball. Once the opponent starts to stare at no matter the cost, it is always difficult to find a wide open opportunity.Although Kobe's off-ball ability is top-notch, it is far from the strongest level in history like the later "Splash Brothers".

This is not to say that Kobe is not strong. He can quickly switch modes from more than ten years of play, and he can still be at the top of the league. This is already a very strong achievement.It can even be said that in history, few ball-handling stars can achieve his level.But no matter how strong it is, there is a limit, and the "Splash Brothers" will let the world know in the future what is called the strongest off-ball player in history.

To be a little exaggerated, the Warriors' No. 30 and No. 11 directly raised the upper limit of the strongest off-ball in history.

Before them, the strongest off-ball representatives were Richard Hamilton and Reggie Miller, but as far as Tang Qian was concerned, they were indeed very strong, but compared with the "Splash Brothers", they were still a lot worse.This is not a matter of favoring the present over the past. Hamilton's off-ball tactics are mainly concentrated within the 3-point line. His career average of 1.7 three-pointers per game is evidence.His off-ball style of play has a limited range, and is not as invincible as the "Splash Brothers".What about Reggie Miller?There is no solution to the three-pointer without the ball. In the Eastern Conference Finals that year, the three-pointer that pushed Joe God away was even more wonderful.But looking at the data, he is really far behind the "Splash Brothers". Whether it is the number of three-point shots or the shooting percentage, they are not on the same level as the latter.What's more, the "Splash Brothers" broke the league and won the championship by relying on shooting, which is far beyond Reggie Miller.

Of course, if you want to talk about shooting with a big heart, that is another matter. For the time being, this is just pure off-ball ability.

And even if it is the "Splash Brothers", when they encounter the real "finals defensive strength", they will be much inferior without the ball, let alone Kobe Bryant who became a monk halfway.So this ball, hit the iron.

"Damn it! Rebound!" Kobe said.

"David, Festus protect the rebound!" This is the shout of Curry of the Warriors.

"Okay~Leave it to us~" David Lee had just finished speaking, Tang Qian gave him a "slap", flew directly to grab the rebound, and then passed it to Kobe again, Kobe made a three-pointer open Shoot, swipe~, the ball goes in! ! !
What? ? ?
Curry felt a little annoyed, so he went to the inside of the team and said loudly: "What's going on? Could it be that the two of you still can't handle one person? Besides, he's just an oriental!" Hearing this, David. Li and Festus Azeri really wanted to shout out their innocence, what is "just the East"?This guy is clearly the "Mr. 40+" of the league, okay?This kind of person, the rebounding state is here, is it so easy to handle?

It really doesn't hurt my back to stand and talk!

The Lakers have also strengthened their defensive strength. Although the effect is not very obvious, it is the attitude after all, isn't it?

Kobe saw the opportunity and actually broke Curry's dribble with his own hands. Before the Achilles tendon ruptured, Kobe concentrated on defense for a certain period of time, which was quite scary.Although it is no longer possible to use "offensive and defensive integration" in the whole court, he can still use it for one to half a quarter.What's more, the Lakers' inside line has a strong defensive ability, which also saved him a lot of physical fitness and energy for the whole game.

In addition, the way of playing without the ball is much less labor-saving than the original way of playing with the ball.

Jordan's late transformation was the transition from holding the ball to off the ball, so he was able to use a lot of energy on the defensive end.

Otherwise, even if Joe's body is abnormal, it is impossible to rule the league until 1998.

After all, people still have limits, and it depends on how you delay it.

This is Mike D'Antoni's tactical arrangement for Kobe Bryant's team. The first three and a half quarters were dedicated to offense without the ball, and the last half quarter returned to normal, still allowing the "Black Mamba" to take over the game with the ball.Kobe is not stupid. After the loss of last season, he began to realize the importance of physical distribution, and playing off the ball is the most energy-saving tactical play on the offensive end.What's more, after he tried it himself, he didn't feel bad, and his hit rate and efficiency were even higher than before.This can be regarded as a workaround to delay the decline of competitive status.

So at this time, he still has the spare energy to display the state of "integration of offense and defense".

Boom~ Kobe made a fast break with one player and succeeded in a one-handed dunk. The Lakers caught up with another 2-pointer.

Damn, the ball was intercepted!This damn black mamba!

Curry shook his head in frustration, but the desire to fight in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

So what if you get in?I can get one too, right?Anyway, now, our Golden State Warriors are in the lead!

Curry quickly calmed down his mood, and then on the offensive round, he raised his knife and made a mid-range shot with an emergency stop.

What is the strongest shooter in history?In the past, no one could sit firmly on this title, but since Stephen Curry was born, there is no doubt that it has become his exclusive title.When Tang Qian saw this basketball shot, he had vaguely heard the heartfelt voice of the Lakers Nets.

Accurate!Whether it is 2 points or 3 points, it is too accurate!

To know that this is not yet his peak form is scary!
However, tonight, unless you keep shooting [-]% from the field, you won't win! ! !

As if discovering Tang Qian's rebounding state tonight, the Lakers shot more decisively, and when playing basketball, especially professional basketball, the more decisively you shoot, the easier it is to hit the basket.Especially when you feel that you have a board inside, this shooting state will be improved even more.

Nash also made a three-pointer, brush~.

The Warriors made a three-pointer from the bottom corner, Duang~, the shot was solid, Curry saw it, and shouted loudly to the inside: "Rebound!"

I don't believe it, I can't grab a single rebound!

This game made David Lee feel very frustrated, because he is also one of the "double-double machines" in the league. He averaged rebounds per game this season and ranked sixth in the league.And so far in this game, his rebound count is only 2, and one of them is because he picked up a "floor ball".So David Lee felt very aggrieved and humiliated.Tang Qian helped Jordan Hill block the ball, but he didn't expect David Lee to speed up with all his strength, and even rushed past his own inside block, and finally took off obliquely, one step ahead of Jordan Hill, and hit the ball This rebound.Then he rushed out and grabbed the offensive rebound with difficulty.

This guy is so determined, I really underestimated him!
When Tang Qian saw this, he thought to himself, because under normal circumstances, even if the opponent wants to break through his inside line to block people, he has to go around for a certain distance, and it is impossible to rush to the rebounding point in a straight line.This round is enough for Jordan Hill to accept the rebound, but David Lee just made a move, obviously desperate, the whole person forcibly reversed the huge inertia, and even made a In the action of taking off at an oblique angle, the whole person did not stand firm, so he rushed out in a "Zi" shape. This was the only way to break Tang Qian's time estimate and get the offensive rebound one step ahead of Hill.

The most important thing is that such a big insider has a certain risk of injury.

But he still chose to do it.

From this point of view, Tang Qian admired him very much.

However, admiration is admiration, he will not give up the area that should be guarded.

This is also Tang Qian's basketball principle.

To admire you, we must respond to you with all our strength, and we must use all our strength to deal with you.

This is the so-called "court appreciation code".

Taking advantage of Jordan Hill's lack of time to turn around, David Lee quickly took the ball to the inside of the Lakers. Unlike Howard, he is a player with considerable skill.

As long as he gets to the basket, no matter what, he can get two free throws.

This is what David Lee thought in his heart at this moment.

However, his wishful thinking was still in vain, because someone neatly slapped the basketball away.

"Hey~ man, I won't let you score easily."

"Because this area is guarded by me, Tang Qian."

The basketball was passed to Nash, and Nash deduced the Lakers to counterattack quickly. With a ground pass near half court, Kobe happened to appear in the open space, and then a one-handed dunk flew to the Warriors' basket. "Bryant, don't think it's so easy!" Klay Thompson stared at No. 24, and the ambition in the depths was like a dark flame.Since he was born in the basketball world, his father was Mitchell Thompson, the NBA No. 1978 pick in [-], so he has a strong basketball literacy since he was a child.This also determines that Klay Thompson is not the kind of basketball player who "becomes a monk for a day and hits the clock for a day". His future positioning is very clear, and he will be the first in the league.

His father and agent Bill Duffy both expressed their support and approval for this wish, and they all felt that Klay Thompson had this potential.At least in this era of weak positions, you can try to be the overlord.

So the first thing he has to do now is to kill Kobe Bryant, the number one player in the active league.

To be honest, Klay Thompson is not without self-knowledge. He also watched Kobe play step by step since he was a child, and became a signature player in the league.If this was the Black Mamba before the age of 32, he would never have the desire to challenge and confront. Without it, the difference in competitive strength is too great.It's not that Klay Thompson can't understand this question.

But the point is that Kobe is now 34 years old and is heading towards 35. Except for Michael Jordan, no one can lead the league at this age.Athletes are still humans after all, and humans cannot resist this natural law, so taking advantage of Kobe's aging is a good time to take the opportunity to take the lead. The competition and elimination in the NBA league is very cruel, and it is impossible for Thompson, who was born in a basketball family, to be clear about this.Therefore, it is necessary to become famous as early as possible. The sooner Kobe is killed, the sooner you can usher in your own era.

Kobe seemed to read something from the other person's eyes. He didn't speak, and as soon as he exerted all his muscles, he forced himself against Klay Thompson and bumped into him.Although Kobe has lost some weight in order to maintain his condition before this season, he is still much thicker than Klay Thompson. Klay Thompson is 6 feet 7 inches tall but weighs only 205 pounds, which is really a little thinner.Besides, Kobe has played in the league for so many years, and his strength is quite good. Not to mention the three positions in the frontcourt, at least in the backcourt, he can be called top-notch.Therefore, Klay Thompson only felt a tightness in his chest, and with a "swipe", the basketball hit the backboard and hit the net.

That's not counting, and then the referee's whistle rang.

The Warriors committed a defensive foul on No. 11, the goal counts, and a free throw is added.

Klay Thompson was a little dazed for a while, because of this defense, he was tantamount to "losing his wife and breaking the army", helping the Warriors get the worst result of a defensive round.

"Boy, do you want to guard me?" Kobe said after landing, turning around and walking to the free throw line, "That's far too early."

brush~
He didn't miss the free throw, made a precise hit, and scored a perfect 2+1.

It seems that Kobe finally recovered in the last half of the quarter, so the chances of the Lakers winning the game are much greater.

"Defend, defend!" Although Mike D'Antoni yelled like this, the Warriors still made a pick-and-roll mid-range shot. Curry's off-ball running shot made defender Steve Nash quite uncomfortable.The Lakers Kobe forced a layup, but unfortunately it was a little short, and the basketball did not fall into the Warriors' basket.

"Grab a rebound!!!"

David Lee and Festus Ezeri swore that they had fought with all their strength, but the low rebound still fell into the palm of No. 29 of the Lakers.Tang Qian was strong inside, and Carl Landry wanted to come over to defend, but the huge height gap made him do nothing but useless efforts.After all, this season's Tang Qian is no longer the Tang Qian of last season. His tonnage and strength have increased to a higher level. Carl Landry's "pseudo-6-foot-9" pocket insider doesn't even think about being in the basket. What trouble did the deep position cause Tang Qian?

bang~
Tang Qian made a strong dunk with both hands. Carl Landry fouled the thug.

brush~
Thankfully, Tang Qian scored this extra free throw and scored another 2+1.

If this continues, we will definitely lose!The head coach of the Warriors, Mark Jackson, thought silently.Because of the huge disadvantage of rebounding, the more the Lakers shoot, the more relaxed and decisive they are, while the Warriors are just the opposite.Therefore, this situation must be changed.

"Carl, go inside and help grab the rebound." After some deliberation, Mark Jackson issued a tactical order.

"I'm going? But Mr. Jackson, there's already..." Carl Landry didn't finish, but Mark Jackson interrupted: "I know, but Carl, didn't you hear me? I asked You go in and help!" Mark Jackson is also from the coaching department of the "player faction". He was an All-Star in his player career and won the assists title, so he is quite convincing among players. "I understand, coach, I will do my best!" Carl Landry nodded and agreed immediately when he heard Mark Jackson say this.

Now that the game has come to an end, the Lakers' man-marking tactics have changed slightly.

Kobe will defend the opposing player, Stephen Curry, while Nash will defend Klay Thompson.

Ace against ace, if this kind of scene happens in the regular season, it must be the crucial decisive time.

For example now.

Facing Kobe, who had 9 first defenses, Stephen Curry was not afraid, but he was on fire because he was also the kind of player with the heart of a strong man.Therefore, in the face of stronger players, he will not be afraid, but will only challenge and collide.

Kobe Bryant, once the king of the league?I'm going to break through your defenses tonight and f*ck you!
Stephen Curry made a gesture to pull the audience apart, which made Kobe's eyes suddenly stern.

From Irving to Curry, it seems that the newcomers in the league now like to practice with me.

OK, then let me teach you a lesson.

Seeing this scene, Tang Qian felt a "thump" in his heart for no reason, because in his impression, Curry had a very classic singles against Kobe's ball.Not tonight, show up early, right?Tang Qian thought silently in his heart.But it turns out that Tang Qian thought too much. Kobe never made Curry feel better before his Achilles tendon ruptured.Before that, when Curry singled out Kobe, there were basically no commendable scenes.

Kobe blocked Curry head-on!

Just like Kyrie Irving was blocked that day!
The old Mamba once again defended his dignity!
In the 2012-2013 season, it really deserves to be No. 24 of the Lakers, the final peak, because there are too many classic offensive and defensive scenes.

On the offensive end, Kobe leaned back and easily taught Curry to be a man. On the defensive end, Kobe really couldn't suppress the Golden State Warriors' No. 30 after he ruptured his Achilles tendon.But on the offensive end, even if he ruptures his Achilles tendon, he can easily single-handedly beat Curry. There is no doubt about this.After all, Curry's physical condition determines that he will never become a defensive gate. "Offensive and defensive integration", a necessary skill package for older stars, cannot be manifested in him.

Therefore, Curry is a star player in the new era. His personal ability needs to be placed in the team to maximize it, and he is not outstanding when he is used alone to attack with the ball and single-handedly attacking and defending.This is an irrefutable fact. Compared with the older generation of stars, Curry's type is more dependent on the team.

So it's really not a wise decision to play one.to.one with Kobe at the tail end of the peak.

After all, in the 2012-2013 season, Kobe was still the Black Mamba, wasn't he?
Jordan Hill made an open shot. Although Tang Qian didn't know why he made the shot, but since he made the shot, the latter focused all his attention and began to compete for offensive rebounds.After seeing Tang Qian's move, the head coach of the Warriors immediately stood on the sidelines and shouted loudly: "Go up, Carl, go hit him!"

"Oh~ what did I see? The Warriors used three players to fight against No. 29 of the Lakers! This is the treatment for the league's top rebounder!!!" Bob Gerrard loudly explained into the microphone Said, and Jim Barnett beside him also said: "It's been a long time since I saw this grand scene of fighting for the basket, I miss it!"

"Chinaman! We won't give you this rebound!!!" The three Warriors shouted loudly.

"Let? Do I need you to let me tonight?" Tang Qian responded, "As long as I want it, it's mine."

"It doesn't matter how many of you there are, it doesn't matter."

The basketball seemed to have eyes. After hitting the basket, it flew directly to Tang Qian's palm.

Overwhelmed the three and took off this offensive rebound!
Then Tang Qian passed the ball out immediately. Steve Nash, who had been waiting outside the three-point line for a long time, made a shot, swiped~, and the clear sound of swipe the net spread throughout the entire Oracle Stadium.

The Lakers once again overtook the score.

The Warriors called a timeout, and it looked like Mark Jackson was about to make a final play.

"Good pass, hot~" Nash said to Tang Qian when he walked off the field.

"Where, Steve, it's mainly because of your accurate shooting~" Tang Qian said in a much happier mood after seeing the score turned over.

"Everyone has done a good job. Now that we have regained the lead, the next thing to do is..." Mike D'Antoni also kept talking about the next tactics on the tactical board.

Tang Qian took the time to look up at his statistics, and the number of rebounds reached 42 before he knew it.

This means that he once again completed the 40+ rebound data in a single game, and it also means that...

The effect of the silver ability card is exhausted? ? ? ! ! !
"Hot~ You still did a great job tonight~ Hold on for another minute, and then we will go home with 1 consecutive victories!" Mike D'Antoni patted Tang Qian on the shoulder and smiled before playing. "Well, yes, sir, I will insist." Tang Qian nodded and replied after taking a breath.

The Warriors also said with great emotion:

"You have played to this level now, are you willing to fail like this? If you are not reconciled, just score a few more goals, and then drive the Los Angeles people out of the Bay Area stadium in disgrace!!!" Mark Jackson stood in front of five players The players on the field shouted loudly: "Stephen, especially you, as the boss of the team, you should understand what you should do now, right?"

"I understand, coach." Golden State No. 30 replied with a nod.

"Okay, then you can prove it to me! Use victory to defend your status and dignity as the king of the Bay Area!!!"

"Here are a few sets of tactics for the meeting, you all come over to see clearly..."

PS: Big chapter asks for tickets~7000+, it should be considered a big chapter~ Roar~
Regarding the question of the book friends, I can only say this: I really f*** want Yi Di to stay in the NBA! ! !Even if it's not the Lakers! ! !Alas~~~
The Warriors were hacked, this is really unexpected, Xiao Zi originally thought they would be invincible.
