Chapter 662 The Relative Weakness of the Legendary Lakers

Tang Qian still found Jerry Sloan, and he said seriously: "Mr. Sloan, how can this situation be broken? Can't you get one game?" Sloan was also thinking about something, seeing Tang Qian coming, he Then he raised his head and said, "I'm thinking about this problem. I have some clues, but not enough." "Have some clues? Sir, can you tell me?" Tang Qian said urgently.

Of course he was in a hurry, if he failed, the one who would lose the most was not others, but himself.

Jerry Sloan took out the tactical board and said, "This is our lineup, and this is the opponent's lineup. Generally speaking, it is impossible to attack. Except for Johnson, the legendary Lakers are super scorers. , even if the opponent’s chemical reaction and tacit understanding have declined, as long as Irwin is in the 1st position, then he can still instinctively organize and forcibly connect. Taking a step back, Jackson’s triangle offense is to provide superstars with comfortable one-on-one singles opportunities Tactics, even if they play all singles, it is difficult for us to resist. In the rules of the game in the second decade of the 21st century, Tracy and Stephen can be liberated, but they still cannot suppress their opponents, Bryant and Baylor is a more powerful scoring leader than the former. In this way, confrontation is tantamount to a dead end." Sloan erased the handwriting on the tactical board and redrawn: "Look at the defense again, I think this is our defense. You can slightly adjust the place to compete."

"Defense? Our defense? Can it do it, sir?" Tang Qian was taken aback and asked.

"Don't belittle yourself." Jerry Sloan continued: "We have Ben, Dikembe, and Hot You in our lineup. The interior defense ability of the three of you is definitely not worse than that of the opponent. Even slightly better." Tang Qian said in surprise: "Really? They are Shaquille O'Neal, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Chamberlain." "Of course there is no comparison in overall ability, they are not at the same level at all, but in defense alone, are you sure we are not as good as their insiders?"

Jerry Sloan wrote casually on the tactical board: "First of all, Dikembe and Ben are both selected for the 4th DPOY, which is already the highest record in history. O'Neal's comprehensive strength has exploded, but defense has never been his strong point , there are only 3 best defensive teams in his career, and they are all 2 teams. DPOY. Abdul-Jabbar is very strong, but he is not necessarily better than Dikembe in terms of defense. There is no DPOY in his career because he did not have this award at his peak. Five first defenses at the center position are already top-notch. But If you want to say that their pure defense is better than Ben and Dikembe, it must be a joke. The two 1+DPOY combination with the most history is not as good as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar + O'Neal in defense? If O'Neal is replaced by Chamberlain, that would be fine."

"Yeah, sir, don't forget, they still have Wilt Chamberlain in their lineup! This guy's defensive ability is estimated to be better than two!" After hearing Tang Qian's words, Sloan said calmly. He replied: "Of course I know they still have Wilt Chamberlain. Maybe Chamberlain who went to the Lakers has no peak ability, but he is superhuman. There is no problem at all. I even think that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's defensive ability in the Lakers period and the old Chamberlain have nothing at all. compared to the law."

"Then you still..." Sloan raised his hand, preventing Tang Qian from continuing, and said, "Because there are people in our lineup who can compete with him." "Who?" Tang Qian opened his mouth and said.

"You." Sloan raised his head and looked directly at Road 29 in front of him.

"Me? Sir, are you joking?" Tang Qian was a little taken aback.

"I'm not joking." Jerry Sloan said: "In my opinion, your current shot-blocking ability is not weaker than peak Chamberlain, and your defense is only slightly inferior to peak Chamberlain. How old is he in the Lakers? The peak season is also far from him in the peak period. So I think you are our trump card to suppress the opponent's inside line." Hearing this, Tang Qian realized that he, his block crystal brick has indeed been capped!This means that his ability to block shots is almost the same as that of Chamberlain at his peak!The Lakers' Chamberlain's defense is still very strong, which is no problem, but it is far worse than his peak period, that is also true.

Especially after his knees were seriously injured in 1969, his athletic ability was greatly reduced, so what Sloan said is very impressive.

Tang Qian... I just haven't gotten used to it yet, and I underestimated my defensive end!
Nine Cap Crystal Bricks!Eight and a half defensive crystal bricks!Even if it is not as good as the real peak Chamberlain, it is one of the few inside defensive monsters in history!Except for "Lord of the Rings" Russell, it is estimated that he can sit firmly as the third defensive player in the NBA!

This... so my defense level has reached this level?

Seeing that Tang Qian was stunned for several seconds without speaking, Jerry Sloan smiled slightly and said, "Why, do you understand now? Counting the two teams in detail, the person with the strongest defensive ability is not Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or Wilt , not to mention Dikembe and Ben, but you are hot money. So, if you are not my defensive ace, who is it?"

"What about the outside line? We don't have many opportunities outside the line, don't we, sir?" Tang Qian came back to his senses and asked another worry in his heart. "We really don't have very good defenders on the perimeter. Except for Jason, everyone else is above average. This is okay against ordinary players. Against historical super giants, it is basically a delivery. But what..." Sloan said. Turning around, he asked back: "Do you think the Lakers' perimeter defense is so strong? Johnson and Baylor are both defensive players, and they don't have a clear defensive advantage compared to our side. Now their The overall tacit understanding and chemical reaction have also been weakened, which makes the zone defense and rotation not so exaggerated. There is only one Kobe Bryant who is a strong man with both offense and defense. You can win, don’t forget about hot, we also have an all-star lineup here.”

After waking up to the number 29 of the Lakers, Jerry Sloan lowered his head and drew: "Because the first two challenge opportunities were implemented in the game rules of the 2s, many things could not be played. Now it is changed to 90 The rules of the decade after the century, I think I need to rearrange a lot of things."

"For example, use the zone defense to restrict O'Neal and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, for example, use the reasonable collision zone to cause damage and reduce their playing time. These are all methods. Let me tell you, if we want to win 4 games, I don't think we have any at all. Chance, the probability is 0, but if we only need to win one game, we still have at least a 1% chance, don’t we?”

"1% is always better than 0%."

"At that time, you and Dikembe will stand in this position. If you are in a tight situation, you can try to set up a defensive trap and use your super strong ability to block shots. I think..."

The two discussed for a long time, and Tang Qian also deepened his admiration for Jerry Sloan. It could be seen that the old man was studying tactics and methods with his heart.It doesn't mean to dawdle in soy sauce.

In the second game, the Tang Qian team completely changed their tactics. Because it is the game rules of the second decade of the 21st century, many things can be used.For example, body hair whistle, such as zone defense, these are all things that must be used to deal with the strong.

On the whole, the Tang Qian team changed the offensive rhythm of the previous confrontation, and replaced Mutombo in the starting lineup, and he and Tang Qian will guard the penalty area together.This is done because Mutombo has a height advantage, and Jerry Sloan wants to try the defense of the twin towers.But obviously, the effect is not good. The positions of Mutombo and Tang Qian are a bit conflicting, and his defensive range is not as good as Ben Wallace, and he cannot expand in a large area. This gives the Lakers the opportunity to attack from a long distance .

This game was much more intense than before. The two sides fought together like a meat grinder. There were a lot of fouls and free throws. It was simply an upgraded version of the Spurs vs. Pistons in the Finals.The scene is very violent, and there are a lot of physical confrontations, but the offense is extremely poor to watch, making people look fragmented and drowsy.

But now is not the time to think about this, the right way is to fight hard.

It's a pity that in the end, due to lack of strength, they were defeated by 30 points. This is already one of the lowest losses recently.

In the third game, Sloan added detailed zone defense restrictions, but the effect was not obvious, because the legendary Lakers had two offensive monsters inside, and if you zoned one, you would miss the other.In addition, the perimeter defense also had problems, leading to another defeat in the third game.Lose one more game, and it's over again.

It's not that they don't work hard, the main reason is that their opponents are too tyrannical. The legendary Lakers are not joking, they can definitely face off against the Dream Team, and they can still gain the upper hand.It seems that this is an impossible task.

Tried countless ways, none of them can completely work.

Tang Qian's complexion was cloudy on his rest day. It could be seen that his emotions were on the verge of explosion.

After finishing the simple training in the morning, Tang Qian took the initiative to walk to Jerry Sloan's side and said, "Sir, I don't think we can focus on defense anymore, otherwise the strength of defense will go up, but the offense is blown up, and we still can't see it." There is a chance of winning." Sloan also agrees with this opinion, the defense of Tang Qian's team has been very good in the past few games, and Tang Qian has also performed well, but he still cannot beat the opponent.

It's not the kind of desperate defeat, or the defeat with no hope in sight.

At least one game lost as much as 26 points.

In that game, Tang Qian still entered "The.Zone" + "Rage", and blocked 15 goals in one game.

The opponent is too strong, it seems that there are no rules, everything...

Um?Seeing Curry's back, Tang Qian's brain suddenly brightened, and he suggested, "Sir, did our previous analysis miss something? Although the Lakers have an explosive lineup, they don't have a particularly good three-man team." Point the ball." Tang Qian's words are not groundless, Baylor has no ability to make three-pointers at all, "Magic" Johnson's three-pointer shooting rate is only 30.3% in the regular season, and it has dropped to an ice-cold 24.1% in the playoffs , and these are all open shots, which are completely different from Kobe McGrady's strong three-pointers.The bench is similar, Gail Goodrich has no three-point shooting ability, Jerry West has no three-point shooting ability, Adrian Dantley has no three-point shooting ability, and the rest is Eddie Jones and Byron Scott are more accurate and are a threat, but they are not the type of strong shots with the ball, and they can only shoot open positions.Counting the Lakers who can really shoot three-pointers, there are only one Kobe Bryant and Van Exel.The entire team does not really have pure shooters and sharpshooters.

As long as they defend the inside, they don't need too many double-teams, and they won't get too many open three-point opportunities. In this way, the advantage of Tang Qian's team is highlighted.They have two super three-point forts, Curry and Ray Allen, and they also have a good shooting rate on the bench.In this round of game rules, it is not that there is no chance to play a "three-point rain".

The players of the legendary Lakers are just taking the historical peak ability of the Lakers. If there is no three-point line at the beginning, there will be no three-point ability.This is a natural weakness!

Jerry Sloan's eyes lit up when he was reminded like this. He looked at the statistics of the previous few games, and it turned out that the legendary Lakers shot extremely limited three-pointers, and their shooting percentage was very average.

"Well, this is a way, and the perimeter defense of the Lakers is far inferior to that of the Chicago Bulls on the sixth floor. Kobe alone can't defend several people at the same time. It's just the tactics, I need to redesign it, hot, You should avoid high-post pick-and-rolls, rebound protection is the key, and only your rebounding ability can compete with the opponent. Let Ben do the high-post pick-and-rolls in the next game."

After doing some calculations, Sloan said: "This seems to be the most likely risky way, but if our outside line group is not allowed tomorrow, then..." Tang Qian squeezed his fist and said: "No You have to be accurate, I believe in them, and they have to believe in themselves!"

"Tomorrow's battle is the final desperate effort."

"You can only win, not lose!"

The next day, the final game begins.

Before this game, Jerry Sloan had explained his tactics, and both Curry and Ray Allen knew it well.

The starting lineup for the Tang Qian team is: PG Curry, SG Ray Allen, SF McGrady, PF Ben Wallace, C Tang Qian.The main offense in this set is shooting and three-pointers, so Kidd, who has the best perimeter defense ability, can only be placed on the bench.

Looking at the Big Five of the Lakers coming across, Tang Qian always had doubts in his heart, and he wanted to prove it in this game.

If it is true, then maybe it is also a breakthrough.

For this game, for this ball, all Tang Qian's energy is highly concentrated, and any clues will not be easily let go.

beep beep~
With the referee throwing the ball, the final battle kicked off.

Tang Qian bent his knees slightly, leaped high, and reached out to the falling orange-red leather racket.

PS: If you have time tomorrow, try to explode, Xiaozi wants to be a hardworking person if she has time~
