basketball purple front

Chapter 666 Is there really no hope? (The outbreak is complete~)

"Hot, don't keep thinking about changing everything by yourself. The opponent is too strong, and it's impossible for one person to succeed. It's useless if Jordan comes." Jerry Sloan pointed out the misunderstanding that Tang Qian had entered. "What do you mean? Sir? Then how do you defeat your opponent?" Tang Qian asked.

"Use the essence of basketball to defeat your opponent!" Jerry Sloan said: "The essence of basketball is to use the team to defeat individuals."

"Using a team to defeat an individual? This..." Tang Qian looked suspicious, because in the United States, it is obvious that the critical moment is the personal stage of a superstar.You give other role players a chance, they are under too much pressure, and many times even if they are open, they can't play well.Um?etc?Role player?There are no so-called role players in our team.

Among the five players on the court, who is not an All-Star?Such a team...

"I know your doubts." Jerry Sloan said: "But believe me, if you compete one-on-one with the team coached by Phil Jackson, and compete with the star players in singles, we will definitely lose. His tactical system, tactics The concept is all for this juncture. So if we want to win, we can only rely on the team." "But our team's strength is not as good as that of our opponents, sir, this cannot be ignored." Tang Qian's question is not Jerry Sloan was not troubled, the old man smiled and said: "The team I am talking about is not just what you think. Teams and individuals have never been separated. Without individuals, how can there be a team? "

"So what do you mean?"

"Have you seen the competitive state of Ray and Stephen?" Jerry Sloan actually enjoyed this kind of ultimate duel, especially the ultimate duel with Phil Jackson, which made him more competitive, said : "What you have to do is not only ignite yourself, but also ignite them! As the soul of a team, this must be mastered!"

"It is not enough to ignite one person, then ignite two, three, and four, so that the effect of the team will come out."

"Don't be superstitious about your opponent's historical status and honor. Winning and losing are always determined by fighting, not judging!"

"Let's go up and overthrow them!!!"

Mr. Jerry Sloan spoke so domineeringly, which was beyond Tang Qian's expectations. In fact, he didn't understand the former. The former has always had such a "temper" since his player days. There are countless famous sayings in NBA life.

People from the farm, that's what they say.

Don't play fake!

He and the "Zen Master" Jackson's coaching style and school of coaching are completely different.

But these words remind Tang Qian that it is impossible for one person to beat this legendary Lakers team. It is like asking you to fight against the Dream Team alone. big cow?Are you a paper man with a name in vain?
So Jerry Sloan's words played a great role in motivating Tang Qian and this game.

In order to increase scoring points, Tang Qian asked Sloan to temporarily replace Ben Wallace with Paul Gasol from the 05-06 season. At least the "Sister-in-law" in the Grizzlies period was a stable scoring point of 20+. This is much better than Wallace.Defense and rebounding are of course far inferior to the latter, but now Tang Qian's defense is supported by a golden block card, and rebounding can also suppress Wilt Chamberlain, so after discussing with Jerry Sloan, he decided to take a risk and take a risk.

But as soon as "Sister-in-law" came on the court, people were surprised. Not to mention the offense was blocked by Chamberlain, and the top rebounder was completely blown by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The role of the 4th position did not play a role.Sloan couldn't bear it off the court, and loudly reprimanded Grizzly Gasol. Tang Qian originally wanted to say a few words, but a flash of his mind flashed through many pictures:
Wait, before Gasol's 2 consecutive championships, he had actually been playing very softly, at least in the playoffs, it was very obvious.

It's really not the black "Sister-in-law Jia". He is a very strong second player, with a high golf IQ, extraordinary height and wingspan, and his endurance.But, he can't be the master, leading the team to 12 wins and 0 losses in the playoffs, the main reason is that the average data in the playoffs has dropped sharply during the period he led the team.You said it doesn't look much different from the regular season?No, you need to look at the data comprehensively. Gasol’s average data per game may be the same as the regular season in the years he led the team. The difference is not far behind, but the shooting percentage is not familiar with you except in the first year. In the beginning, the playoffs were a big landslide every year.

Can you imagine a 7-foot big man shooting just 43.3 percent in the series? ? ?When Kobe Bryant's 45% shooting rate was slammed as a "blacksmith", an inside All-Star player only shot 43.3% in the playoffs?This has reached the point where it is seriously substandard.In the year when he led the team with his best performance, he averaged 20 points in 21.3 shots per game in the series, and his efficiency was really worrying.The series averaged only 3 free throws per game, which is also flawed, indicating that the lethality is insufficient.Not to mention the rebounding data is also plummeting.Why did he give the nickname "Sister-in-law Jia", in addition to saying that he and Kobe have a tacit understanding like husband and wife, there is also a kind of irony for his soft inside style.

The Lakers didn't change a little until the Lakers' 2 consecutive championships. They successfully helped Kobe break through the Western Conference and finally "ascended the throne".

So it's not surprising that Gasol played softly in the 05-06 season.

After all, in this season's playoffs, his shooting percentage was only 43.3%, and his rebounding averaged only 6.8 times per game.

In the playing time close to 40+, this kind of data is similar to that of Lopez of the Nets. He leads the team alone and has a clear rebounding disadvantage.

But now, the scoring point of Gasol cannot be lacking. After thinking for a while, Tang Qian walked up to Gasol, who was a little depressed, and opened his mouth and said: "Paul, you can't play like this, you will only make yourself marginal if you play like this." Hua, we need you now."

Gasol's eyes were dull: "How can I play, that's how I play, the opponent is too strong, I can't do anything, and I have too few chances to touch the ball, so I can't find the feeling." As soon as the words came out, Tang Qian immediately thought of the words he saw how Kobe encouraged him last season, and after the words were finished, Gasol was in a brave state immediately, and his performance picked up in many consecutive games.

So this conversation also made it to the Los Angeles Times.

Gasol is still a European insider at heart, he likes to complain, and he doesn't have such a strong heart, so...he needs someone to motivate him.

Motivation from time to time.

"Paul! You are wrong to say that!" Tang Qian immediately put on a serious face and said, "You have a lot of chances to touch the ball. It's just that you pass the ball as soon as you get the ball or take a shot from outside the penalty area. Keeping the offensive firepower like this? How do you find the offensive feeling?" "I pass the ball because the opponent is too strong, I don't have the confidence to attack the basket, and your position is better, so I choose to pass the ball." Gasol The words were exactly the same as what I heard last time. Tang Qian immediately said loudly: "Why is our attack position better? Have you thought about it?"

"Because your running and penetration are better."

"Why are our running and interspersing better?" Tang Qian asked rhetorically.

"Because...because..." Gasol was at a loss for words and couldn't answer. When Tang Qian saw this, he stopped drinking and said, "Because you are too soft! Because you are afraid of confrontation! Because you are not aggressive enough to play! So You're always where you want to be and can't get the ball! So you're always the passer! It's not your sacrifice! It's your cowardice and fear!"

"Let me ask you." Seeing that Gasol was a little confused, Tang Qian immediately followed up and asked: "Do you want to be tough? Do you have the desire to score in the low post? Do you have it???" Gasol hesitated Said: "I, of course I have. Of course I want to be tough."

"Okay~" Tang Qian said: "Then prove it to me."

"I, how can I prove it?" Gasol said.

"It's easy! Just be aggressive all the time! You can figure it out!"

This sentence was added by Tang Qian himself. When he turned around and ran to the front field, he threw a sentence at the Spaniard and said: "Whether it is a shrinking or a male growth, no one else can decide. What can be decided is always the only one." yourself."

"I believe in you, but you must first not believe in yourself."

Gasol was stunned when he heard the words, and after a few seconds, his whole body changed slightly.

Tracy McGrady missed a shot from the outside, and Tang Qian tried his best to get inside and Chamberlain. To be honest, the number 13 of the Lakers alone is enough for him. If there is another Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, he guesses... Could it be possible to replace Ben Wallace? Was it a mistake?

Thinking about it?Tang Qian suddenly found that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was no longer the same as in the previous round, forcing his way over and double-teaming himself.

Turning his head, he found that No. 16 of the Grizzlies was "hand-to-hand" with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the other side of the low post.

And obviously, the Spaniard's bullfighting blood was awakened by himself.

He also entered "The.Zone"!
good!Now the whole team is basically in "The.Zone", the next step is to activate TM!

At this moment, Tang Qian realized that it is not easy to be the core of the team. Not only is he responsible for the offense and defense on the field, but also the competitive state of his teammates, mentality, and the core should also be responsible for things.

Then why are there so many core tasks?There is no reason, just because you are the core, just because you get the most money, isn't this reason enough?

The game entered a fierce battle, and both sides fought with all their strength. At this time, Curry's role was finally highlighted.The so-called stable scoring of 2 points, chasing points depends on 3 points, and if you want to quickly narrow the score gap, the three-pointer is the key.

Fortunately, the current round of the series is played according to the rules of the game in the second decade of the 21st century.

Moreover, Tang Qian's team has the strongest marksman in NBA history, Warriors No. 30, Stephen Curry.

After Curry became "Super God", under this rule, his firepower was fully fired. Although he was hit twice by the "Magician", he was not soft on the offensive end. He made three consecutive three-pointers and the score difference quickly narrowed. to single digits.

The Lakers attacked, and "Magic" Johnson wanted to continue to displace Curry, but was forced to defend by Curry. It can be seen that Stephen Curry is not only on the offensive end, he should be a "comprehensive superstar" .The Tang Qian team took the opportunity to go down quickly. Curry dribbled the ball to prepare for a three-pointer. The legendary Lakers quickly double-teamed. At this time, Curry chose to pass the ball, and the basketball flew to the open corner. The people standing there, It's the Sonics, Ray Allen.

Ray Allen made a shot, and the legendary Lakers quickly rotated to make up the defense. Almost at the same time, Kobe flew out and flew to block the block.

The last whistle sounded, a three-pointer was scored, No. 24 was fouled, and an additional free throw was required!
The momentum of Tang Qian's team rose sharply.

There is still more than 1 minute, we still have a chance! ! !

Tang Qian secretly clenched his fist on the court and said.

It's a pity that Ray Allen's ball seemed to provoke No. 24 of the Lakers. As soon as he passed half court, he pulled out the next ball and was half a meter away from the three-point line.And turning around, Kobe and "Magic" Johnson exchanged players, and the Lakers began to focus on Stephen Curry on the 24th!

The "Zen Master" did not intervene in this field change, because in his opinion, it was right to do so.

Although Ray Allen is also a three-point shooter and a player with a big heart, he is not at the same level as the Warriors' No. 30.Warriors No. 30 is a fully enhanced version of the former, perhaps except for physical fitness and shooting skills, the latter has entered a field that no one has ever touched. "Zen Master" looks very vicious, so Kobe took the initiative to switch defenses, and he nodded secretly.

Kobe at his peak is a defensive monster, which is completely different from his post-2010 state.

Let's put it this way, the same first defense, there is also a difference between strength and weakness, a first defense of 95 points and a first defense of 80 points seem to have the same honor, but the scene effects are very different.Kobe in his peak state went to mark Curry, and Curry suddenly became a little misfired. He faced the old Kobe who had a torn Achilles tendon, and he still had no way to get rid of it one-on-one. No, what is he playing with?This is still the case without Hand-Checking. If there is, Curry may suffer again.

It's not that No. 24 can completely defend against the "super god" Curry, but there is no problem with restrictions.

Because after Curry left the Warriors' system, he only played singles, and he was not ranked among the quasi-super giants.

This is not to belittle Curry, but he is an off-ball and shooting player. Singles is not his strongest point, and he cannot fully display his true strength.And his true ability, Tang Qian will see in the future.

In this way, Tang Qian's outside attack was faintly contained again. If they scored 2 points, the opponent could also score on the offensive end. If they come and go, the time will be over long ago.The legendary Lakers can afford it, but the Tang Qian team obviously cannot afford it.

The game time is not good for them.

"Zen Master" Jackson slowly showed a triumphant smile on his face. He believed that this game was definitely won.

Yes, with the Lakers number 29 there, Tang Qian's basket is basically impossible to get in, but... what is the triangle offense?Where is the essence?We can't create opportunities for one-on-one singles inside, but outside can.

No matter how strong you are on the 29th, you are only one person. As long as we launch a one-on-one triangle game outside the penalty area, what can you do to me?
As for the triangle offense, it can be used with the inside line, and it can also be used with the outside line.

Otherwise, Joko and O'Neal are not players in the same position, so why is the triangle offense still running unimpeded?This is the element of "Zen Master" that has been as stable as Mount Tai until now.

The perimeter of the legendary Lakers is really strong. No. 24 Kobe stepped forward again and scored consecutive high post-backs. It can be seen that Kobe is far more reliable than "Lord Baylor" on key shots.Regardless of whether you look at the data or not, it is a fact. It is definitely not a case of underestimating the past. Elgin Baylor's career shooting percentage is only 43%, which is not bad, but he is still much weaker than Kobe.

Kobe's shooting percentage is around 45%. In fact, he has always been very good on the back line, especially before the rise of efficient play, Kobe's modified shooting percentage, true shooting percentage, and basic shooting percentage are all outstanding on the back line. By.But if you want to compare him with a striker, of course it can't be compared.Across positions versus hits, it's not a comparable thing at all.

The guard line is not as good as the striker line, and the striker line is not as good as the inside line.So look at the four major points, look at some of the previous outside scoring champions, and you will know that the 1% shooting percentage is far from as bad as you think.Furthermore, the hit rate is affected by many factors, such as game style, game rhythm, teammates around you, era of play, shot distance, shot selection, catch rate, etc. There are countless.In conversion, it is the difference between 45 out of 20 and 10 out of 20 in a game.You can say that 9 points determine many things, but the above factors should also be considered.

Iverson's old hit rate is really an inefficient breakup?In the year of the finals, it took 30 shots to get 32+ points, and the shooting percentage was only around 38%.But if you think about it, would the 76ers have made it to the Finals that year without him?

The hit rate is actually just a reference value, which is of course useful, but if you take it as a "bible", you can only see yourself as a "nerve" in the end.Because many things cannot be quantified by data.

This famous hit rate argument, in fact, after the 14-15 season of Zhan Huang, few people "hold it high".

The most efficient star in the league once exaggerated that he can definitely score 37 points in 60 shots. After James scored 33 points in 61 shots that year, he was immediately regarded as a "standard" and constantly exaggerated.But the fact is that the sample of one game is too small, and it is true that Zhan Huang was strong in that game, but it is almost certain that he has entered the "Super God" and is not an ordinary "Super God". That's why he did this. .Once there are more samples, the real situation will be revealed immediately.

The 14-15 finals can be regarded as the year when Zhan Huang completely fired, but the fact is that he only scored 32.7 points in 35.8 shots.

This is actually a very strong statistic, and it’s okay to have a hit rate of less than 40%. But from this point of view, if you really give a person 30+ shots, he must be able to average more than 40+ shots per game. That’s a dream.This is just a series. After a whole season, the sample size will be larger and it will be more difficult to maintain stability.Therefore, Tang Qian has always only regarded the so-called hit rate as a reference, as an authority, and as a standard when playing basketball. He can't do it.

Because many realities tell him that this is simply impossible.

Playing basketball, especially professional basketball, is always about performance on the court, more than anything else.

XXX scored 30 points in a game with a low shooting percentage, but all the shots were hard-hitting, key shots. In a game, XXX also scored 30 points in a high shooting percentage, but it was insignificant garbage time. , Looking at the data after the game, will you be deceived?So, stats can lie, and the more you watch the game, the more you will feel this way.

ESPN has hyped up the so-called "big data theory" in the NBA, but don't forget that they will always be just a media person, never a real insider.

Listening to a group of outsiders comment on the insiders is originally a bit of "hype" and "ridiculous".

It's just that the NBA is a commercial league, so it needs to deal with these media people, which is impossible.

Data refinement, this is no problem, it is even a good thing to promote the development of basketball.But everything is based on data, well, this is the effect that ESPN wants to have on you after promoting the "big data theory".

The "Magician" career PER is only 18th in history, not as good as Barkley, Robinson, or even Towns and Anthony Davis. Is he just such a strength?You must know that "Magician" is a proper top five player in NBA history. He retired because of AIDS at the peak of his career. Logically speaking, there is no such thing as a delay in the end. Is this his ability?Yao Ming's career PER ranks 25th in history. Is he a stronger player than Nowitzki and Garnett?Even though it was Yao Mi, she couldn't say such words.There are many similar things. The number one center in the 90s, Olajuwon, also ranked outside the career PER20. Paul, who has never touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals, is the master of this list, occupying the top seven positions for a long time.

Use the original words of the head coach Steve Kerr after the Warriors won the championship in 2016-2017: First of all, I don't like the PER data. I think it is a statistic with many flaws.Of course, I don't know how to perfect this data model.For example, when I first came to the Bay Area, Green's PER was very low, even much lower than that of David Lee, but then everyone knew that David was a very comprehensive All-Star player, but he was very good at the game. The influence is far less than that of Green.But just looking at this PER you will think, oh, how is this thing calculated.

This paragraph is the original words of the host LOWE after interviewing Cole after winning the championship. It is something that even the head coach does not trust (not to mention the head coach is not an expert), but the fans are stunned by the media. This is ESPN Sales success, or another basketball tragedy?
brush~
Kobe scored in a row, and Tang Qian's team's score difference has been unable to close, and this is what "Zen Master" Jackson wants.

As long as you drag on, you can guarantee victory.

Tang Qian was very anxious, but he couldn't make more contributions on the offensive end. His current strong end is still the defensive end.

On the offensive end, he can only be beyond his reach and sigh.

But now there is a problem. On Tang Qian's team, no one can fix No. 24, and no one can defend against No. 24, so the score cannot be narrowed at all.No way, what do you do if people don't call inside?Don't you dive out?The quasi-basketball was hoisted back to the inside lane again.

The game entered 1 minute, but the Tang Qian team was still 6 points behind their opponents.

Originally, Tang Qian wanted to fight, but at this time, the peak Kobe poured cold water on him and his team.

No, not cold water, but ice water.

With a "swipe", he made a three-pointer from the top arc, forcibly pressing down on McGrady, and entered the net strongly.

PS: Cole's interview with PER data is true and correct, not fabricated by Xiaozi.In fact, the founder of this data model, ESPN data expert John Hollinger himself once said the shortcomings and defects of this model system. If you are interested, you can go and see for yourself.I said so much, not to prove how bad the PER is, but just to restore the original look of watching the game. The greatness of outstanding players, if measured simply by a data model, will eventually be "teared" and tasteless.

I especially miss the atmosphere of watching football back then. What everyone discussed most was the performance on the court, instead of just pretending to be an expert and throwing out a lot of data now.Xiao Zi personally thinks that the data is just a reference, the key is to watch the football and the game.Cold data can never replace a truly exciting and passionate real game.

Don't worry about the following plots. Xiao Zi said that a complete outline has been drawn up long ago, and there will be no overwriting.

The outbreak is complete, please ask for tickets and subscriptions~~~ woo woo woo~~~
