Chapter 513 Are We Los Angeles? (Ask for tickets~)

Careful people can find that the Lakers have fallen behind by a lot of points in the fourth quarter recently, completing the reversal with difficulty, and passing through danger.

This time is no exception, but the situation is more sinister than the previous games.

Because the Clippers obviously didn't feel like they were trying their best, but looking at the score, they already led the Lakers by more than 20 points.

This made Mike D'Antoni roar in the bench area: "Cheer up! Cheer up! 20 points are not impossible! 20 points are not impossible! As long as we are united in the fourth quarter and focus on playing , then you can definitely overtake and kill your opponent!" But this kind of motivation is obviously too straightforward and simple. NBA players have heard hundreds of similar words since they were young.Coupled with the fact that Mike D'Antoni does not have the blessing of a championship title, and is still a "halfway out" head coach, this makes the former's sense of prestige with the Lakers throughout the season not too high.

Moreover, D'Antoni's defense has never been his strong point. How difficult is it to chase points like this, especially to catch up to 23 points in one go?Even NBA fans know that "offense buys tickets, defense wins". If you want to chase points, if you don't defend, you can catch up!Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that the Lakers players are indifferent to Mike D'Antoni's motivational words.

"Mr. D'Antoni, let me play in the fourth quarter. I have the ability to defend and attack the opponent's center, so please let me play in the fourth quarter!!!" Howard said beautifully, but Mike D'Antoni did not He saw the desire to win in his eyes, so he just nodded and opened his mouth to perfunctory: "Dwight, I can understand your mood, but you can also see that the other party is obviously deliberately cutting you and using you to Disrupt the offensive rhythm of our Lakers, so you sit on the bench in the fourth quarter, and it’s not too late to play when the time is right." It sounds like there is nothing wrong with this answer, but even fools can hear it, this is the aftermath. The former is perfunctory to the former at will, the so-called "time is ripe", it is estimated that the final whistle will not appear.

Howard was also turned purple by Mike D'Antoni's words. He wanted to say something, but found that there was no strength.

No way, you suck at free throws yourself, who can be blamed?The season's free throw percentage was 49%, and 19% did not. This game is even more eye-catching, only [-]%.If people don't try their best to kill you, who will they kill?

So Mike D'Antoni's refusal to let him play is also in line with the public opinion of the Lakers.

The final list is Nash, Kobe, Gasol, Ci Shiping, Tang Qian.

Tang Qian wanted to use a golden ability card to come back as soon as he came on the court, but unexpectedly broke out again on the 24th. He scored 3 three-pointers in a row as soon as he played in the fourth quarter. Amazed, even unbelievable.

What on earth does this guy do?Doesn't he know what fatigue is?Don't know what adversity is?
79-93, which made the head coach of the Clippers immediately called a timeout, and then the main force was dispatched, not daring to take it lightly.

After the main lineup was all on the court, the Clippers began to score. Chris Paul was very cunning. He seemed to have seen Tang Qian's amazing defensive ability at the basket, so he specifically picked Gasol to shoot the ball, which made Tang Qian The dive missed every time.Gasol's athletic ability is far inferior to that of Jordan and Griffin, so it is common for Gasol to be dunked by the basket.

Why do you say Gasol is a bit soft?In fact, he can be called a killer on both offense and defense in the international arena!It's just that when I get older, my physical fitness declines, so I am often "raped (@#￥%&)" by violent insiders during confrontations.This left people with an illusion that Gasol is too soft and fragile, and has been dunked and even ridden for a long time.

But in fact, Gasol's defensive awareness and defensive attitude are top-notch in the interior, but his physical dynamic quality has greatly delayed his retreat.If he has the physical fitness of KG Garnett, perhaps his achievements will not be worse than Garnett.After all, Garnett didn't have a big champion throughout his life, did he?

The Clippers, who played again, obviously strengthened their control over the Lakers' No. 24. Former Lakers player Matt Barnes received only one order, and that was to stick to Kobe and follow Kobe, not asking for any performance on the offensive end. As long as the defensive end can greatly consume the latter.Matt Barnes is familiar with Kobe, coupled with his strong style of play, he is indeed very suitable for this job.

In this way, after a few rounds, the score difference reopened, 79-98, and the score difference returned to 19 points again.

Kobe started the fourth quarter strongly, and his arrogance faded away. The Clippers have indeed dealt with the Lakers this season, and they have quite a lot of experience.

"Paul, don't be too frustrated. I didn't defend these shots well, and it has nothing to do with you." Seeing that Gasol was a little depressed, Tang Qian comforted him.But Gasol's low mood does not mean that his IQ is also low. Of course, he heard that the latter was comforting himself, because he was frequently attacked by his opponents. Strictly speaking, it has nothing to do with the latter.

It's just that his air defense ability is not good!

Throughout Gasol's career, his block data has not been bad. Even at the age of 37, he can maintain an average of about 1.2 blocks per game. This is a bit unbelievable for many "quality men".But for the air defense attribute, even in the strongest 06-07 season, Gasol averaged 2+ blocks per game, but he didn't stand out.In other words, Gasol is easily overwhelmed by his body against the inside line with excellent athletic ability, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Just talking about the Clippers, how many shots of Jordan and Griffin dunking Gasol?Once produced, a short video is enough.Therefore, against "high-flying players", the Spaniard has always been weak and short.Howard could have perfectly made up for this shortcoming, but he came to the Lakers to be the boss and uncle, so he has no mood to bother with this kind of cheap blue-collar dirty work.

Why is it said that Tang Qian's ability to block shots is so much better than Howard, but still not many experts and reporters agree with him?The reason is simple. They all believe that the former does not have the ability to be the core of defense.Howard, on the other hand, is a thorough defensive core, no matter which NBA team he goes to, he basically can't run.This is where Tang Qian still lacks.

In addition to not being able to build a defensive system around him, his ability to supplement defense and assist defense is also the biggest place where Howard is inferior.

This is not something that can be summed up by a simple block data. If you have really played in the league, even the most amateur league, you can feel the difference between having a defensive core and not having a defensive core.The field defense is all standing defense. Unless there is fighting spirit, there is very little sense of fierce confrontation. Even if there is, it is a matter of two people, and the rest are still the same. The defense has no state and spirit.In this way, it doesn't matter what the core of defense is.

But in any level of the league, if your inside, assist defense and supplementary defense capabilities are excellent, then your team will definitely not be weak.Note that this is not talking about blocked shots, but just talking about help defense and supplementary defense. In the NBA, for example, Garnett, the highest block season in his career, only averaged 2.2 times per game, but his ability to help defense and supplementary defense in the NBA, Far beyond the average superstar insider.Even Tim Duncan is far inferior to him in this respect.

Therefore, this kind of inside defensive player is easier to become the defensive core of the team than the rim protector.

There are a lot of shot-blocking idiots in the NBA, but to say that they are the core of defense will definitely make people laugh.

In a sense, Howard's physical fitness surpasses Tim Duncan too much, but do you look at the blocking data?Whether it is an average or a single game, it is almost the same as Duncan.Even the playoffs are far less powerful than Duncan's blocking shots.But he is different from Duncan. His superhuman body is closer to Garnett's core method on the defensive end, but his blocking momentum is too strong and the scene is too spectacular, so it is often easy for people to ignore his supplementary defense and auxiliary defense. ability.

Those years in Orlando were really amazing, as if there was no place within the three-point line that he couldn't make up for, and most importantly, in the interior, Howard's supplementary defense and assisted defense were almost without dead ends.What do you mean by inside supplementary defense and assisted defense without dead ends, that is, like tonight's game, Tang Qian repeatedly failed to help Gasol defend successfully, and he was easy to be attacked by a master point guard and turned away from the mountain.It's not that his physical fitness is not as good as Howard's. It's that his consciousness, judgment, and his habits are not in place. That's why Gasol is bombarded indiscriminately. Work hard.

Compared with blocking shots and basket protection alone, he is indeed better than the current Howard, even if he is the "Peak of Warcraft", he has to bow down to the current Tang Qian.But if he wants to become a true defensive core, he still has a lot to do, and it is by no means a one-shot-blocking tyranny that can be generalized.

Do you want to use the ability card?But behind...the Lakers still have several extremely strong opponents!
Now that I don't have much inventory, if I use up all of it, what will happen to the strong teams behind?
For the rest of the game, the Lakers can't miss a single game!

Tang Qian was caught in some entanglements, and this kind of choice was sometimes the most tormenting.

Nash withstood the pressure and made a three-pointer at the top of the arc, but soon, Griffin went down to catch the ball, forced a successful hit on Gasol's head, and scored an additional free throw.

brush~ball into~
Nash's three-pointer was a waste of time.

82-101, the score difference remained unchanged at 19 points.

Kobe forced a breakthrough, causing Griffin's defensive foul, and made 2 of 2 free throws, helping the Lakers score another 2 points.

But in the eyes of Chris Paul, this is nothing, because he is sure that he can get it back easily.

The huge loophole of Gasol's weak air defense ability allowed him to see an opportunity. It would be better to attack continuously and directly make the Spanish big man lose his confidence in the game.As a powerful point guard, it is the basic quality to judge the time and magnify the opponent's life. There is no such thing as ruthless or cold-blooded.At this point, Paul has excellent talent. After Nash, he is considered No.1.

And just when he passed the ball to Griffin and was about to let the latter dunk in the sky, Tang Qian was bumped by Matt Barnes who moved past the baseline. By mistake, he floated to Gasol's side.Although there is still a distance from Griffin, with his elasticity and wingspan, it is enough to create shadows and create pressure.

Without thinking much at the time, Tang Qian jumped up and stretched out his arms. With a "bang", a ball that Blake Griffin had scored steadily was inexplicably missed.

The basketball crashed high beyond the sideline behind him.

Tang Qian didn't listen carefully to Griffin's small words and curses at all, because at that moment, as if he had caught something, he fell into a moment of thinking and "sluggishness".
