Chapter 593 Crash? ? ?

On the eve of the game, the NBA announced the best third team of the season.

The winners are Paul George, David Lee, James Harden, Dwyane Wade, Dwight Howard... Tang Qian.

Among them, Tang Qian and Howard tied for the number of votes, so they were squeezed into the best team of the 2012-2013 season.

This is also Tang Qian's first selection to the NBA All-NBA Team.

The announcement of this award was unexpected by Tang Qian. After all, he didn't even enter the first defense, so how dare he expect the best team?It is extremely "valuable" to know the center position of the best team.At least in each lineup, there is only one center forward. He was selected in a tie this time, and to be honest, he earned it.

Because the best team is different from the best defensive team, it is a more comprehensive award, and the scoring ability is so poor that it was not even eligible for selection before.Fortunately, it's the last ten years of the 21st century, and now the insiders are generally withered, and there are no up-and-coming stars, so Tang Qian can barely squeeze into this lineup.

This at least means that the name Tang Qian has begun to emerge in the league.

Of course, Tang Qian got the right to open the box once, and this time he was not too unlucky, and he opened a bronze 3-point card.But Tang Qian looked at this card and felt depressed, even dumbfounded.

Bronze 3-point card, you can make 3 three-pointers in a game, and the shooting rate is 100%... But looking at it now, it's too tasteless.

What can 9 points do?It's better to get a bronze agility card, the bronze strength booster card is effective.

What a damn luck.

At the beginning of G7, Howard and Jamison continued to be "missed due to injuries", which made the Lakers' lineup extremely difficult to see.

Except for one Pau Gasol, there are all regular-season substitute players, and a team with an all-substitute lineup for the playoffs, I am afraid that if you look around, the entire league is just like the Los Angeles Lakers.With such a team, they even drew 3-3 with themselves, and were about to "tie-break" with themselves. In the hearts of the San Antonio people, there was an invisible flame that was slowly burning.

The atmosphere at the Spurs' home court was high, and the fans in San Antonio seemed to be cheering with faint anger.

"Tim, we will win this game. The victory belongs to Los Angeles!" Tang Qian said before jumping the ball, looking at Duncan in front of him.

"Hehe, Dongfang boy, I should be the one who said this." No. 21 of the Spurs team said, "I admire your lack of soldiers to resist so far, but everything will end tonight."

"We, San Antonio, must win!"

Tang Qian soon knew what Duncan meant by "must win", because the Spurs entered the "must win mode" from the very beginning.A large number of "tactical balls" were used to beat the Los Angeles Lakers. After one quarter, they lost their armor and disarmed their armor.

It's not a lie. When the Spurs are mixed with a lot of "tactical balls" in their regular operations, the "temporary army" temperament of the Lakers is suddenly contrasted and highlighted.What is a "professional player"?What is "professionalism"?Compared with it, the Lakers are really pitiful now.

From rotation to positioning, from supplementary defense to assisting defense, the Lakers' disadvantage was completely magnified immediately, and the atmosphere of "scattered soldiers and brave men" was clear at a glance.

This is not a matter of working hard or not, but a simple "level problem" and "grade problem".

Compared with the full-strength San Antonio Spurs, the Lakers are naked "bachelors".

Playing with all one's energy and blood, the mid-to-low end is fine, but if you really want to put it in the NBA, you will fall into the bottom in an instant.Just like tonight, the entire first quarter was the Spurs' "tactical practice field". The exquisite, tacitly coordinated running and movement made the Lakers feel nothing but envy and jealousy.

There is no way, this is not a talent gap, but a gap in tactical literacy. The Spurs have been playing like a day for 20 years, and their core is as stable as a dog. What else can you do besides envy and hatred?Fighting "tactical ball" against others can only lead to self-destruction and humiliation.

Really, this is not an exaggeration, let alone the current Los Angeles Lakers, even the defending champion Miami Heat, I am afraid that if they fight the "tactical ball" recklessly with the Spurs, they will suffer a crushing defeat and have no chance of winning.Among other things, the entire Spurs system has been in a stable state since the mid-to-late 90s. This is an incomparable advantage for any NBA team.

So in the first quarter, the Lakers were blown away, 38-20, and lost a full 18 points in the first quarter.

How is Tang Qian doing?Yes, he got 6 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 steal, but he couldn't restrain the Spurs' quicksilver attack.And a very important point is... the Lakers' own offense is too weak.

The lack of a core attack point was fully revealed tonight.

At this moment, Tang Qian understood a sentence, what is basketball is five people.

If you defend one-on-one by yourself, no one on the Spurs can easily penetrate, but what about one person against five?Totally impossible!
There is a limit to human reaction, and there is a limit to human ability. When someone blocks you, transfers you, and passes the ball to you with a time lag, what can you do?Shouldn't you be defending?If you don't guard against it, they will shoot!For example, Duncan, because he discovered that Tang Qian's rebounding is good, so he simply gave up his plan to compete for offensive rebounds, and went to the free throw line to support, and then opened the mid-high position and made a spot-up jumper.

Tang Qian tried to let go of Duncan, but the result was disastrous. Tim Duncan has a good spot-up shot. Once you let him go, he can really throw it in.This made Tang Qian in a dilemma and had no choice but to pull out to defend against others.

You said why Gasol didn't go out? okay~ It's not that I haven't tried the defense switch strategy, but the effect is meager.

Because the Spurs' current lineup is Duncan, Matt Bonner, Parker, Ginobili, and Manu Ginobili, what are the strengths of this lineup?Obviously, every point has the ability to shoot in the middle and long range, even except Duncan, who can throw three-pointers.

In this way, the Lakers are very passive. Even if Gasol throws out to defend Duncan, then Duncan can also shoot Matt Bonner, and the most terrible thing is that Matt Bonner, an inside player, can score three points. The ball is not generally accurate.He has hit more than 40% of his three-pointers in his career, and his three-pointers this season have reached 44.2%. So if you give him an open shot and don't expand his defense, that is suicide.They will shoot you with a three-pointer!

In this way, as long as Tang Qian pulls out, the Spurs will attack the inside. If the 29th does not go out, then use the mid-range shot to hit the opponent, so that the opponent has to stay away from the basket and stay away from the basket.Then cooperate with a series of tactical balls, which can be said to expose all the shortcomings of the Lakers.If you only watched this game in this round of the series, then you must think that these two teams are not at the same level.

It's like a master versus a rookie.

It's all textbook-like pointers.

Tang Qian felt depressed, but there was nothing he could do. His teammates couldn't defend him, and the opponent used COSCO to drop him, forcing him to expand his defense and leave the basket.Even if the defensive rotation is barely on, the Spurs can still use the "tactical ball" to forcibly create space, forcibly tear the space, and obtain a certain degree of open shot opportunities.

It's no wonder that even O'Neal at his peak, playing against the Spurs is extremely exhausting and exhausting, don't you believe it?In the regular season, O'Neal played more than 30 times with the Spurs, averaging only 21.7 points, 10.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.7 blocks per game, and his overall shooting percentage was 54.9%.Looks good?In fact, this is already a poor stat list for O'Neal at the peak. Compared with Duncan's 22 points, 12.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.4 blocks, his scoring and shooting percentages have declined to varying degrees, and he only has an advantage in the number of blocks.You said that O'Neal was lazy in the regular season and his ability deteriorated seriously in the later stage, then ok, just watch the playoffs against the Spurs.

In the playoffs, O'Neal and the Spurs also played against each other about 30 times, which is almost the same as the regular season. It can be seen how intense the battle between the Holy City and the West District of Los Angeles was during that time.O'Neal averaged 22.4 points, 12.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 2.8 blocks per game, with a combined shooting percentage of 52.6%.It seems that except for the hit rate, everything has improved?Wait, look at the playoff data of Tim Duncan, the core insider of the Spurs. He averaged 25.6 points, 13 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.4 blocks per game, with a combined shooting percentage of 48.5%.Except for O'Neal, whose shooting percentage is not as good as that of the 5th position, who is almost completely suppressed and surpassed in an all-round way. Even the number of blocks in the regular season, which is slightly inferior, has made a strong counterattack in the playoffs, not far behind O'Neal.Although the two of them are not direct opponents, and the data analogy is somewhat nondescript, it can still reflect a fact.

After all, the inside line is no better than the outside line, the area is smaller, and there are more direct collisions. Therefore, the number of times the two sides may have a single defense is limited, and the number of times they can assist in defense is definitely a lot. This is why O'Neal will be relatively sluggish in the playoffs against the Spurs.Duncan's inside defense, from top defense to single defense, from single defense to supplementary defense, from supplementary defense to assist defense, is really at a historical level.So even if the peak sharks, it is difficult to take advantage of it.

You must know that during that time, O'Neal's playoff data can be called a god, except for the F4 year, when the ball was dispersed, and only 21.5 points per game were left.For the rest of the years, they were all above 26.5 points, and there were quite a few 30+ playoffs, as many as 3 times. And the average center forward wanted to score 30+ in the playoffs. I don’t think it needs to be explained. , few people can do it.

Only O'Neill, this man, can do it as many as three times, which is the only one in history.

Such a powerful center has almost never had a "climax" against the Spurs. No matter how you look at it, it is a bit unbelievable.

That's why Popovich said that he is not afraid of tyrannizing the inside line, but he is afraid of tyrannizing the outside line, especially the unreasonable one.

In the future, Kobe, Curry, and Durant have all become the "sufferers" of the Spurs, which is what it means.

Because generally speaking, against the Spurs, the star data will "shrink", and those who can not "shrink" are really strong.Therefore, in a sense, the San Antonio Spurs, for 20 years, are really the touchstone of stars from all walks of life.

Want to win the championship, want to rectify their name, want to be famous, want to increase their social status, hehe, the Spurs are the right team.

Of course, the premise is that you must have enough strength and be strong enough.

In the second quarter, the Spurs hadn't made any substitutions yet, and this lineup was still on the field. This made Mike D'Antoni's "take the opportunity to chase points plan" aborted before it was implemented.Only halfway through, the Spurs led the Lakers by as much as 25 points, which forced D'Antoni to call a timeout.

50-25, the defense of the Lakers has collapsed, it has collapsed, Popovich has played so many games, and he has also seen the strengths and weaknesses of the Lakers, so he specially arranged coping strategies, making use of strengths and avoiding weaknesses, and only killing the opponent's weaknesses .This is the case in the playoffs, because there will be 4 to 7 games, the secrets of both sides have long been clear, and there are not many cards to hide.

Unless it's a sweep type game, I haven't done it yet, you're already lying down, and that kind of series is an exception.

To be able to kill each other seven times, the degree of understanding is inevitable, and the target arrangement far exceeds that during the regular season.

And Tang Qian seemed to be shown through by the famous Gregg Popovich after a few amazing games.

How much chance do the Lakers have?
This is also the concern of Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni.

PS: This chapter has been written several times, because it involves some important plots later, so it has been revised for a long time~
To put it bluntly, the Rockets are so strong and they were eliminated. The Spurs’ 20 years of continuous improvement will not become 30 years of continuous improvement.
