Chapter 462 Frontal ban on "Golden Rooster Independence"
"Do a good job on rebounding! Do a good job on rebounding! Why do I have to keep emphasizing such a simple thing?" During the break after the third quarter, Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle kept talking on the bench, watching him The expression on his face seemed to be very unhappy and very dissatisfied.Although the Mavericks have become an underdog this season, which is very different from two years ago, Rick Carlisle has not decided to give up the game easily.

This is the dignity of his champion coach.

However, this matter is not something that can be resolved if he emphasizes it, because Tang Qian has completely transformed into a "defensive monster" at this moment.Not to mention Kaman and the semi-disabled Elton Brand, even Dirk Nowitzki, it is extremely difficult to compete for rebounds and attack the Lakers inside.So at this time, "German Chariot" took the lead to stand up and said: "Mr. Carlisle, that oriental kid tonight is in excellent condition. I'm afraid we have no chance of winning alone, unless..." Nowitzki hadn't finished speaking yet. , Rick Carlisle thought of the subconscious in the former words.

"Dirk, take a joint approach? Is he really worth it?" Rick Carlisle asked No. 41 of the team.

"At least tonight is worth it." Before Dirk Nowitzki faced Tang Qian head-on, he couldn't believe why this Eastern center could achieve 40+ consecutive rebounds in a single game.But tonight, he personally felt a bit of oppression and a bit of consternation.Even if his average rebounding per game is not outstanding in the interior, but after all, his height is there, and his rebounding skill exceeds the average level of the league, it is still no problem.But tonight, he felt completely "confused" and "helpless".

Because the inside of the Lakers is standing an Eastern giant. He is like Goliath, sweeping all offenses and resisting all firepower.As long as you dare to go in and challenge, it will make you feel ashamed and come back in embarrassment.Really, when was the last time this happened, when was the last time I felt this way?According to Dirk Nowitzki's memory, it still came from the peak "Warcraft"-Dwight Howard.Since Howard suffered more and more physical injuries and got older, the league's "town monsters" have almost completely disappeared.Perhaps the No. 6 of the Clippers has this potential, but this season, he is still too young to reach the level of a "town monster" on the defensive end for the time being.

But soon, Nowitzki knew that he was wrong, he was wrong, and the number 29 of the Lakers tonight is not just the defensive level of "Peak Warcraft".His ability will go far beyond the imagination of No. 41 in Dallas.

Tang Qian has scored 6 points, 6 blocks, 13 rebounds and 1 assist so far, and he knows that his stats tonight are not just that.There will be more, and it will be better, and it will be more exaggerated.

"Hot~ Well done~ Keep up the good work~" Seeing that Tang Qian really supported the Lakers' penalty area defense with his own strength, Mike D'Antoni was very happy in his heart, because it was different from Dwight Howard's "superstar temper", The Lakers No. 29 respects him very much and obeys his own tactical arrangements, and when he is on the court, the Lakers' ball movement has obviously improved to a higher level.When he came to the Lakers, he had a very deep feeling, that is, it is not impossible to "stack superstars", but at least they must complement each other and trust and affirm each other, otherwise they will fight on their own, and even if Jordan comes, there will be nothing. Method.

Because basketball, in the final analysis, is still a sport for five people, and it cannot be played by one person.

Kobe Bryant, Howard, Nash Gasol, these four people, even if they are a little older, which one of them can't stand alone and capture the flag alone?It will be all right.But between each other, there is no team understanding, no chemical reaction, and you can't play for the team's victory wholeheartedly.

Otherwise, what if I am old?There is no problem with at least the top four in the West.

D'Antoni hadn't taken over such a luxurious book lineup before, so he was a little off at the beginning and a little uncertain, and that's normal.In the original time and space, in the last period of time, he had actually woken up a little bit, but it was too late. At that time, the Lakers had not many games, were terminally ill, and the entire team had no fighting spirit. Barely entered the gate of the playoffs.But the price paid is well known.

Now he also sees the problem. If Howard still wants to be his "low post killer", then he will be insulated from the Lakers as a whole, out of touch, and not on the same channel.If he wants to increase his winning percentage in the last few dozen games and rush into the playoffs in one go, he must find a No. 5 who is in tune with the Lakers as a whole, not out of touch, and on the same channel.

Obviously, Mike D'Antoni has already found that candidate.

He is No. 29, Chinese, Tang Qian.

You Howard is strong, you are the number one center in the league, and you get a salary close to 2000 million US dollars a year. Unfortunately, your role in the Lakers right now is not as good as a second-year rookie with an annual salary of only 400 million.This is your sorrow, and it is also the sorrow of the Lakers. If there is still time, then I will slowly adjust and change for you, but who is calling now?
So sorry for "Warcraft", I need to be responsible for the team's record, and I also need to be responsible for my career, and at this moment you are no longer a booster, but a roadblock! ! !

"Continue to maintain it in the second half ~ let's overthrow the Dallas people in one breath ~" Mike D'Antoni did not arrange any new tactics, because the tactics in the quarter just now are very suitable for the current situation of the Lakers. The combat effectiveness of the team and the shortcomings of the barrel will be greatly improved in an instant.

If Paul's injury problem is not serious, then his cooperation with Tang will also greatly increase the overall ability of the inside line!
It's just... This will be an unprecedented defensive test for the 5th position!
Can he hold it up?

Thinking about it, Mike D'Antoni had another "new mutter" in his heart.

Because the biggest problem of a team requires one person to support and solve it... In this way, will the pressure be too much?But Mike D'Antoni can't think of any good solution. The Lakers' perimeter team is old. This is an indisputable fact, and it's not something that a head coach can change if he wants to.Moreover, the operation of the Lakers this season seems to be strong, but in fact there are many problems. The first is the age problem, then the lack of athletic ability, and then the lack of defensive champions. These are all undercurrents hidden under the "magic strokes" , it is undoubtedly whimsical to want to add it temporarily.

Except for Kobe, Nash and Ci Shiping have almost become defensive black holes. In addition, the bench is full of strong offensive and defensive players. The Lakers' defense has fallen to the bottom of the league.Faced with this situation, Mike D'Antoni is not without a solution. Just like Phoenix City back then, it is enough to replace defense with offense.In other words, I lost 2 points defensively, and I want to get back 3~4 points on offense.Now that the Lakers have Steve Nash, they also have the conditions to play this tactical system.But there is no problem with Kobe, but Howard has a problem.

With his frequent low-post singles, Mike D'Antoni's tactical system is completely contained, basically unable to play.That's why the Lakers are in such a difficult situation.This is completely different from the problem envisioned by D'Antoni before he came.I thought it would be difficult to handle and change on the 24th, but I didn't expect it to be "Warcraft" Howard, whom I was more optimistic about before.

The "Warcraft" who does not play pick-and-rolls and cuts with Nash is the destroyer of Mike D'Antoni's tactical system. He was suffering from the identity and status of the opponent before, and he could not directly rectify it, because one of the fans would not agree. , Second, the management will not agree, and third, Anthony really can't find a replacement for "Warcraft".

In this way, no matter how messy the "Warcraft" is, he has no way to "strictly stop it", otherwise the team's record will only get worse and worse.It wasn't until he saw the performance of No. 29 just now that his brain resumed operation, and a bold idea gradually began to take shape.

Before playing, Tang Qian noticed the "Warcraft" at the end of the bench, and the former suddenly said, "You are very upset with me? Do you hate me?" Howard didn't speak, but his eyes showed everything. "Then you should be like this." Tang Qian dropped a sentence and said, "Because you will only be more unhappy and resentful later."

Howard didn't understand at first, but after thinking about it carefully, his complexion suddenly changed. Looking at No. 29 who left, his eyes seemed to be shot with sharp arrows.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Rick Carlisle adopted Dirk Nowitzki's suggestion and began to strengthen his control over the inside.

No, Tang Qian immediately discovered the change in the opponent's strategy.

Elton Brand and Chris Kaman played at the same time, blocked themselves, and even preferred to change to the next outside line, but also to suppress No. 29's rebounding ability.But it's a pity that Tang Qian didn't worry at all when he saw this, he just raised the corner of his mouth, as if his expression became more excited and said, two people? Is 2 people enough? Can 2 people suppress the strongest rebounding ability of peak Wilt Chamberlain?

Under Kobe's defense, OJ Mayo missed a shot, and the basketball hit the Lakers' basket and bounced high.

"Grab a rebound~"

"Grab a rebound~"

Elton Brand and Chris Kaman immediately shrank, trying to squeeze out the rebounding space of No. 29, but immediately, they knew that all this was futile and useless.Because the Lakers took off the rebound easily on the 29th, as if they were not affected by their contraction at all.

The Lakers attacked, and Kobe hit OJ Mayo with his back, relying on a turn and spoon to lick the basket, completely shaking the latter's defense.

brush~
goal~
The leading score reached 4 points.

On the offensive end, Sean Marion made an air cut layup, trying to catch the Lakers by surprise.

Although Marion's shooting posture is ugly, this player's personal ability is still very good, and he was also a 20+10 SF at his peak.It looks very different, but his rebounding sense and rebounding desire have always been the leader in the league's No. 3 position, and he has also developed a super air-cut and roll-down ability in the Suns. Relying on BT's physical fitness, he always It can be played so that the opponent has not reacted, and the ball has already fallen into the basket.

Although his athletic ability has degraded significantly this season, his experience and ability to spot cuts are still at the top of the league's No. 3 position.

Let's put it this way, if LeBron James has his off-the-ball ability, then the top three in history will not have a chance to sprint. At least the Heat's quasi-dynasty can last longer.A player who rarely attacks with the ball can average 20+ points per game for several seasons. What kind of off-ball cutting ability is this? ? ?But I can only think about it, after all, no one is perfect.It's better to think about the three-pointer Joe without the ball. What if Jordan still has the same three-pointer ability as Curry?Does that mean no one in the NBA will dare to play the 2nd position?
It has to be said that Marion really caught the ball with super accurate timing, which caused the Lakers' perimeter defense to collapse in an instant.

However, the basketball was blocked by a big hand on the eve of going into the basket.

slap~
On Marion's unbelievable face, No. 29 of the Lakers slapped the ball viciously, and the basketball was directly knocked out of the first three rows of auditoriums.

"The Lakers are inside the line tonight, no layups, no shots, no scoring." A voice with a slight oriental accent suddenly appeared, and said, "Have you remembered?" Marion turned his head to look at the tall No. 29, First he was dazed, and then anger appeared on his face, as if he would have to teach the latter a serious lesson later.

Serving from the baseline, Marion moved at high speed again, then received a pass from Nowitzki, and bounced directly high, trying to hit No. 29 of the Lakers under the basket in front of him.Sean Marion's bullet speed is not a thing of the past. Back then, his bullet speed was even stronger than Carter's. In many cases, before the defender had time to take off, he dunked the basketball in his hand into the opponent's basket.

This scene was also one of the favorites of Suns fans back then.

But tonight, this isn't Phoenix.

With a "bang", someone from the Lakers basket also bounced at high speed, and then accurately and accurately shot towards the basketball racket in Marion's right hand.

This guy's bullet speed is not worse than his own? ? ?This, how is this possible? ? ?Isn't he C? ? ?
When Marion saw the speed of Tang Qian's bullets, he was in a mess, and when he felt weak, he was terminated by a big hat.

The Lakers made a fast break, and Steve Nash made a three-pointer from the top arc.

Leading by 7 points.

"Now do you remember?" Tang Qian turned his head and grinned at Marion, who was slightly absent-minded.

no!No matter how hard the fight continues, the morale of the team will collapse!
After seeing the problem, Dirk Nowitzki, the soul of the Mavericks, played in person.

He stood near the neutral zone of the penalty area, also known as the waist position, and began to actively beckon for the ball.

And this zone is recognized as the best starting point for low-post offense on the basketball court.

Seeing that the team's situation was not good, Nowitzki stood up decisively and chose to play singles by himself.

A star's singles goal can definitely boost the team's morale and prevent the team from further declining momentum.

However, unlike before, this time the Lakers' No. 29 took the initiative to defend, because Tang Qian felt that Nowitzki would come to the ball himself, and it was unlikely that he would pass the ball out.As for the Mavericks, the most critical defense is to stop the big German in front of you. Otherwise, no matter how well you defend in front, the Mavericks will have a chance to come back and have a chance to reverse.
