basketball purple front

Chapter 653
Guess the coin, Tang Qian guessed it right this time, and Tang Qian's team won the home court advantage.

Staples Center, the second challenge begins.

After the lack of Hand-Checking, it is clear that Tang Qian's double-strike outside line was activated, and the Bulls were slightly confused by three three-pointers at the beginning of the game.However, the large number of fouls and violations that Tang Qian expected did not occur. The Bulls seemed to be playing basketball without Hand-Checking at all, and their defensive and offensive actions were very "harmonious".

This is probably the so-called "default adaptation to the rules of the game without Hand-Checking".

Even so, the game is still difficult to play, no, it is too difficult to play, Tang Qian's inside defense is naturally extremely strong, and he blocked the Bulls by 6~7 in the first half.But during the half-time break, Phil Jackson obviously made adjustments and arrangements. Except for No. 23, everyone reduced the direct inside frontal attack and switched to mid-range shots or throws to solve the problem.

In the 90s, there was a recognized problem, that is, everyone has a mid-range, no matter what position you are, if you can't open the mid-range, then I'm sorry, you don't deserve to be an NBA player.Even Rodman, if you give him an open mid-range shot, he will make the same shot.This was also the limitation of the rules of the era at that time. In the case of illegal defense and Hand-Checking "prevailing", you have no chance to shoot three-pointers.Because the interference is too great.As we all know, the farther you are from the basket, the more difficult it is to feel and the more unstable. Therefore, in the 90s, players who mainly made three-pointers rarely shot most of them, and that was also an open situation.

In comparison, who is more stable under fierce defensive actions?Of course it was a hit.

why?It's the same answer, because it's close to the basket.

Especially Curry's "one-step shooting" is more susceptible to interference from Hand-Checking. A slight squeeze or a small movement will immediately destroy the body's balance and make it more difficult to score.On the contrary, Joko's "two-stage shooting" has a higher degree of stability under the confrontation of Hand-Checking, and there is more room and time for adjustment.

It is not unreasonable to have one kind of rule and one kind of god.

The revision of the rules is the biggest weapon for the alliance as a whole.

In the second half, the Bulls strengthened their control over Ray Allen and Stephen Curry. The defensive skills of Jordan and Pippen were reflected. Even if the rules changed, they were still the strongest outside offensive and defensive duo in the league.

Ray Allen and Curry ran with them, and there was no major problem in a short period of time. After a long time and more rounds, the efficiency immediately dropped, and the sound of blacksmithing began to increase.Taking advantage of this time, Jordan of the Bulls made a sudden effort, scoring 12 consecutive points and taking away the game.However, this game only lost 5 points. It can be seen that the cancellation of the Hand-Checking rule and the Bulls' super perimeter pressure defense still have a great impact, at least weakened by about half.

"Different Space" did not force people to death, but gave Tang Qian a little way out.

However, if the opportunity is not grasped, it is tantamount to "giving it in vain".

The day before the second game, Jerry Sloan introduced a new tactical style of play in the team, that is, Kumai's outside pick-and-roll.

What is Kumai's outside pick-and-roll is to use Tracy McGrady and Curry as the two sides of the pick-and-roll. In this way, Curry can be activated and Tracy McGrady can have the opportunity to attack with the ball. The two-pronged approach of shooting and strong play makes Jordan and Pippen's defense tight. .Based on the reason for this, the main one is that Jordan and Pippen both had an average physical fitness of 41~42+ in their peak period, so they had very little rest time for the whole game, and they could even play the whole game occasionally.In this way, even if McGrady is placed on the bench, the effect will not be obvious. It is better to put on the starting position and play high pick-and-roll with Stephen Curry.

As soon as this tactic came out, it was like the "Dooku pick-and-roll" of later generations. If there is a chance, Curry will shoot it, and if there is no chance, Durant will attack it alone.McGrady may not be as efficient as Durant in scoring, but his ability to attack tough problems at his peak is absolutely super strong, and Durant is not as good as the Magic No. 1 without restraining himself from doing it alone.It is said that Durant is highly efficient. In fact, to put it bluntly, he has had an all-star helper by his side since the second grade, and Westbrook, the "triple-double king" MVP, will help contain him in the future.If you don't have any helpers for him, and you do the whole process by yourself, the efficiency will be the same as in the first season, and the shooting percentage will be a mess.

You said that the first season is a rookie period and cannot be counted? Ok, then there are still games to go forward, look at the playoffs, except for the 11-12 season, which season does he have the scoring efficiency of the regular season?Taken together, it's about 45%.So once he went to the "73-win team", his offensive efficiency returned to the regular season level again, and it became seemingly scary.

A very simple example. It seems that in the 16-17 season, Durant's shooting percentage broke the table. Is the reason really because of his overwhelming offensive ability? NONONO~Of course not!The Warriors also have the "Splash Brothers" on the perimeter to help him contain. The open opportunities and defensive pressure he got are much smaller than before, so his efficiency can soar.The same is true for James. Are you really sure that Zhan Huang can play alone without the restraint of outside stars?The weak team may be able to, but what about the strong team? The finals of the 15-16 season are an example.Who said that a high shot will necessarily lead to a high score?You can try it without star players on the outside. If you average 32+ shots per game, you can score 35 points. What's more, the Warriors that year were not tyrannical inside.

In the future, with Durant's "behavior of surrendering to the enemy", the myth of the peak group mode has been broken. Durant proved that as long as he is in a multi-giant team, not only is his efficiency not worse than James, but even better than James powerful.Looking at his playoff data and efficiency in the 16-17 season, the highest shooting percentage in the first three years was 46%, the lowest was only 43%, the highest three-point shooting percentage was 34%, and the lowest was 28%.Is it far from the efficient Durant in your impression of the regular season, and he is not alone at all?But as soon as I went to the Warriors, it changed immediately. The shooting percentage increased from 43% to 55%, and the three-point shooting percentage increased from 28% last year to more than 44%.Looking at this set of data, you will understand that the so-called efficiency also depends on what team you are in and what teammates are around you.Otherwise, it doesn't matter if it's James or Durant, if you don't have a super scorer around you, it's the same.

It is absolutely impossible for the so-called "high shot, high efficiency and high score".

You can also look at Kobe's 12-13 season. When Nash was healthy, he averaged 26+5.7+5.4 in the first ten games, with an overall shooting percentage of 52.8%, three-point shooting percentage of 40.5%, and free throws of 89.4. %, the proper "180 Club".You must know that Nash is still 38~39 years old. Standing next to Kobe can make Kobe play this effect. What is called restraint, this is called restraint.If it is the peak Nash and the peak Kobe, hey, can you think about the efficiency?
Why did Stern use basketball reasons to stop Chris Paul from joining Los Angeles? I'm afraid he had already expected that once the two got married, there would be "cries of ghosts and wolves" in the league.Because Paul is still a No. 1 position with both offense and defense, there is no such thing as Nash's defensive "loophole".So you need to consider everything when watching the game. If you only look at one statistic, you will only be deceived by the statistic.

McGrady did not have any outside star helpers, and the playoff data was almost the same as the regular season data. This is the sturdy performance of his personal ability.And for many seasons, he single-handedly scored 30+ points per game in the playoffs, and his shooting percentage was the same as that of the regular season.If McGrady was paired with a superstar or quasi-star player like Westbrook, Curry, and Irving back then, would his efficiency soar?Will singles be more So.easy?

This tactic had a miraculous effect in the first quarter of the second game. For a while, the Chicago Bulls were a little caught off guard. The single quarter was 33-24, leading by 9 points, which is the best example.You must know that the Bulls have always been a strong defensive team in the league. In the 6 championship playoffs, the lowest average score that can suppress opponents is only 86+ per game, and they have done it in more than one season.This is the embodiment of super defense. The Bulls have a strong ability to adjust. In the second quarter, the "Zen Master" asked Jordan and Pippen to switch defenses. Sloan's "Kumei high pick-and-roll tactic" was contained.Because both Jordan and Pippen are super perimeter defensive gates, as long as they switch defenses every time, then there will be no embarrassing situation in the first quarter.In the second quarter of the game, Tang Qian sat on the sidelines most of the time, because of physical reasons, Jerry Sloan had to arrange this.

The Bulls scored 26 points in a single quarter, while the Tang Qian team only scored a poor 16 points. After two quarters, they entered the second half 49-50 behind the Bulls by one point.

It's really not that Jerry Sloan's tactics are not clever, mainly because the opponent is too scary.

Even if you are the Durant + Curry pick-and-roll of later generations, it looks beautiful and efficient, and the league is unimpeded. In the finals, the autumn wind swept the leaves all the way, and the Cavaliers were killed 4-1.But what if their opponents were Jordan and Pippen?No matter how you pick and roll or cooperate with these two people, they can switch defenders at will, and they don't need to worry about whether their teammates will be weak in defense.

In fact, among other things, James + Irving had no problem with the offensive ability that year, which was comparable to the Kudu combination, but what about the defense?They can't prevent it. Once the pick-and-roll is replaced, Irving is a point destined to be attacked.The lack of the ability to integrate offense and defense is the fatal injury of Kyrie Irving.In that round of finals, if Irving was replaced by the peak Kobe, the absolute situation is actually different. With the difficulty of James shooting, there will be more open opportunities. The main reason is... defense defense!Like Jordan Pippen, Kobe and James can switch to pick-and-roll at will, not to mention complete defense, but at least the containment effect must be there.

Curry and Durant, in fact, are not as strong as the data show, otherwise the former would have achieved consecutive championships or dynasties, and the latter would not have fallen to the Warriors. The second The season becomes "Barkley" to "join if you can't beat it".The data shows that before they merged, this kind of playoff position was not outstanding.

Especially "Reaper" Durant, the playoffs in the 15-16 season only made 43% of his shots and only 28.2% of his three-pointers.What's more, there is a Westbrook around him. If not, this statistic will not be better, it will only be worse.

During the half-time break, Jerry Sloan walked up to Tang Qian and said, "Tang, you are going to start working next time, are you ready?"
