Chapter 679 Going Against the Trend (The outbreak is over~)

Silent all night.

No, nothing happened overnight.

Tang Qian didn't get along well with Taylor. He ended up sleeping in a separate room with Taylor, although the latter's eyes were obviously a little disappointed.

And the more this happened, the more Tang Qian didn't know what to do. He was not the kind of "hungry ghost" who would "snap" everything first.And right now, he must concentrate on preparing for the new season.

"So, you're saying, you don't think about it until you win, right?"

"Ah."

"Well, you should win the championship as soon as possible, I want to see, what will you do then?"

Hey, what should we do after winning the championship?Let's talk about it after winning the championship. Now just thinking about it is a big headache.

Tang Qian is also a normal man. It's not that he has no desires, but because this life is hard-won, he knows better what should be prioritized and what should be put first.Once the love between men and women is contaminated, especially at the beginning, you will definitely be unable to restrain yourself, unable to restrain your addiction, and always think about it. This is definitely a negative effect on the goals of the Lakers this season.

Therefore, Tang Qian set a goal for himself at the very beginning, and not winning the championship will never involve any personal relationship between men and women.

Otherwise, if he really thinks, he can talk about high school in this life. To be proud, there are definitely a lot of people. Sunshine sports boys, no matter which country they are in, are popular.After enduring it for so long and controlling it for so many years, it's finally come to this point, and it's finally entered the alliance. Is it necessary to "break my promise" at this time?
Does that amount to a failure?He would never allow himself to do such a thing.

The next day's newspapers were full of stories about the Lakers losing streak, and even many media began to support ESPN and follow the latter to lead the rhythm.In this case, the more developed the media, the less surprising it is.

The media is mainly used to earn eyeballs and reading volume, especially in capitalist countries.

Otherwise how to make money?Right?
Reporting news honestly is something that happened in the last century. Who still does this in the new media era?That would be suicidal!Therefore, it is necessary to create topics and spark discussions.

There are many times when there is no wind, there will be waves, not to mention the fact that the Lakers have fallen behind.

Indeed suffered the first losing streak this season.

Winter is coming?Is that how it's going to be?It is estimated that Mr. George RR Martin will sue them for 'infringement'? — ESPN.

From the data analysis point of view, the Lakers' shooting power is too concentrated, which is not a good thing!Kobe should take the initiative to share the right to shoot and the ball! —Sports Illustrated.

How can I play if you don't give me the ball?You might as well make it yourself! -- CBS Sports.

Kobe's cancerous nature is becoming more and more prominent. Except for the Lakers, no one will use him to build a team!He is far inferior to Shaq and Tim! -- ESPN expert Henry Abbott.

Looking at these reports, Tang Qian frowned slightly, because the power of authoritative media is still very strong, and it is very easy to influence public opinion and affect the mentality of players and teams.In many cases, it is clearly not the case, and the problem is not so serious. When the media exaggerates and adds fuel, the incident escalates in an instant.The OK contradiction back then was like this, and the media played a huge role in fueling the flames.This point was later clarified by Kobe, O'Neal, and Phil Jackson.

What's more, these media people and so-called experts are still "holding chicken feathers as swords", making rhetoric and smearing indiscriminately.

First of all, what Kobe wants is the right to shoot, not the right to the ball. These two words are fundamentally different. The authoritative sports media headed by ESPN often confuse them and confuse the right to shoot with the right to the ball to make ordinary fans believe it. Can't figure out the situation.In China, it has been seriously confused before. It was not until the Internet became more and more developed in recent years, and basketball fans studied more and more, that the difference between the terminology of shot rights and ball rights was gradually distinguished.

And now the Lakers besides Kobe, who can attack?Who can create scoring chances by themselves?
Steve Blake?Jordan Farmer?Jordan Hill?Wesley Johnson?Kendall Marshall?Ryan Kelly?Thackeray?In fact, including Tang Qian himself, without Nash, he couldn't exert much offensive power.The only person who can really share the burden of scoring is Nick Young on the bench.And Nick Young's style of play is obviously only suitable for the bench. When he comes to the starting lineup, he will only conflict with Kobe. Besides, he has no passing and defense, and his hard skills are not high enough to fight against the starting lineup. He is placed on the bench. On, the most appropriate.Otherwise, on the bench, who do you expect to stand up and score?
Everyone is well aware of these problems, but now that they are "provoked" by the media, it becomes embarrassing, and there is a faint suspicion in their hearts.

Reminiscent of Kobe's anger in the locker room that day, this heartache has taken root and sprouted.

Want to solve a problem?In fact, it is not difficult.

Just end the losing streak and continue to win. Victory is the best way to cover up all problems.

This is especially true in competitive sports.

On November 11th, the Lakers ushered in their 13th regular season game of the season. Their opponent was the "old enemy" Denver Nuggets. Since they clashed with Tang Qian in the playoffs two years ago, the two teams have disliked each other. .Every game has to be a bit of gunpowder.

However, the Lakers still ushered in a good news. Jody Meeks returned from injury. His three-pointer will be an important long-range fort for the Lakers.Although this game was not broadcast live across the United States, the Denver people still said: Let the Los Angeles people continue their losing streak!
Hearing this, No. 24 of the Lakers team was dissatisfied at first, and he stood up and responded: Tonight he will definitely blow up his opponent and let the Denver people know where they can't dig!

Before the start of the game, in the locker room, Tang Qian suddenly suggested that this game should be played mainly in positional tactics, reducing the number of running and bombing and offensive and defensive transitions, because the Nuggets are a well-known "track and field team" in the league. The rhythm is obviously what the other party likes.

In fact, this statement is a bit "overstepping the authority", because running and bombing and high-speed offensive and defensive transitions are the labels of Mike D'Antoni's coaching team, and it is also D'Antoni's own coaching philosophy. If you say to change positions, this...

The Lakers didn't say anything immediately, but looked in the direction of head coach D'Antoni faintly.

Mike D'Antoni was actually a little unhappy. After all, he is the one who plays this tactical system, and all the running positions and tactical designs are also developed around this.You let him switch to positional warfare?Sorry, he's never done that in his life.I can't think of any clever tactics at all.And if you play with an unfamiliar coaching system, the coach's court control and adaptability will also be reduced accordingly. How can you say D'Antoni is willing to accept it as soon as he hears it?

Unless Tang Qian is a person like Long Aotian, the tiger's body shakes, and the domineering aura makes everyone accept their heads and worship.

And obviously, that's impossible.

But Kobe stood up and supported him, saying: "What Tang said has some truth, Mr. D'Antoni, we are at a disadvantage compared with the Nuggets in sports games as a whole, and it is not our rhythm." D'Antoni said: "Then What is our rhythm? Could it be that we are attacking the position?" Kobe is different from Tang Qian. He is in the league and the Lakers. He has a very high authority, so he stopped D'Antoni without hesitation and said: "Sir, according to the opponent, There is nothing wrong with adapting to the situation and temporarily adjusting. How many games did we win against them last season? No matter whether it is good or not, it is always okay to try first."

With Kobe’s support, Mike D’Antoni reluctantly nodded in agreement. It’s not that he suddenly became stubborn. It’s just that every coach has a tactical system for every coach. If you let him change, this is tantamount to an ancient academic dispute. No one is willing to admit that there is a problem with his academic school, and he is inferior to others.

Tang Qian actually just made a suggestion, because apart from Kobe and himself, whether it is Steve Blake, Jordan Hill, or Wesley Johnson, they are not very good at playing full-range sports offensive and defensive.The Nuggets changed their head coach, but the entire team's system and style of play have not changed much, and they are still the same as before.

This Nuggets team is also a team that can score close to 105+ points per game. The defense is not good, the offense is full, and the league's firepower ranks among the top.That's why Tang Qian wanted to make appropriate changes and make adjustments.

It's already the tenth game here, and one-eighth of the regular season is nearly over. Basically, the abilities and upper limit of the teammates around me should be clear.Tang Qian really believes that this Lakers team is not suitable for running and bombing and high-speed offensive and defensive transitions without the super No. 8 dominance.In fact, Mike D'Antoni's system has left a super capable No. 1 position, and it has not achieved any results at all.Seeing how he changed Harden from a point guard to a point guard in the future, you will know how much his tactical system relies on the No. 1 position.

And this team currently, except for Kobe, no one meets his system requirements, and no one has the ability to operate his tactical system.

However, if you want Kobe to switch to the No. 1 position this season, maybe you can achieve a good record in the regular season, but you are destined to not go far, and switching positions on the court is also a time-consuming thing.Now, how can Kobe have the time to do this kind of thing?
Is this Kobe not a team?No, in fact, Kobe has a better team than most people in the league in a sense.

How to say?Of course you can't see it from the basic statistics, but if you analyze the game carefully, you will find the mystery.

The No. 24 of the Lakers has always been a player who is changing for the team. People like him and Jordan Durant are typical attackers who can adapt to most lineups and styles of play. The core of asking teammates to change.To give a realistic example, in the 12-13 season of the original time and space, Kobe had 5 changes in his style of play. The first stage was Princeton's style of play, which was precise and efficient. However, with the injury of the team's No. 1 Nash, he was forced to stop .The second stage is the master control stage, and at the same time, he has to lead the opponent's point guard. During that time, Kobe had a lot of quasi-triple-doubles, and even made a triple-double. No ball, no way, stop again.The third stage is 30+ consecutive time periods, free shots and free attacks, but looking at the statistics, we know that there are a lot of shots and the ball control rate is not high, but the team still can't win the ball, even because of the high score. Losing for a long time caused Howard's Gasol to complain.In the fourth stage, in order to win the game and to appease the two insiders, Kobe began to take control again, but unlike the last time he took control, this time he significantly reduced the number of personal shots. In many cases, he even assisted for assists. Pass and pass.But halfway through the season, the Lakers didn't even have a 2% winning percentage. Due to the pressure of the record and commitment, Kobe began to enter the fifth stage, which is the final stage, relying entirely on his personal ability to lead the team to victory.There were a lot of amazing performances and goals during this period, but in the same way, this style of play also burned the last drop of blood of the Black Mamba, so on April 50, 2013, Kobe broke his Achilles tendon.

Do you think this is the case for a season?In fact, Kobe was like this in the 05-06 season, but that season's record was not good, and the team did not have many big names, so it was ignored by people.In the first eight games, Kobe's shots were not exaggerated, even adding up to only 6 three-pointers, and he was serious about connecting and rebounding.After finding out that his teammates were not good enough, he couldn't win the ball and couldn't make the playoffs, he started to score points like crazy.When the record is a little bit more stable, probably in several games in December, Kobe actually thought about stopping this scoring performance and continuing to revitalize the team, but it was still the same as the beginning of the season, and the effect was not good.In this case, Kobe began to score crazy points again, and many legendary games appeared in the middle, such as 12 points in 3 quarters, such as 62 points in a single game, all during this time.After his record stabilized slightly, Kobe began to seek changes again, mainly to prepare for going further in the playoffs, because as a player who has won three championships, he knew very well that he would not live long in the playoffs alone, whether it was He's still No. 81 in Chicago, all the same.So it was probably February of 3. If you watch the video carefully, you will find that Kobe no longer does it by himself from the beginning to the end. Enter the attack mode by yourself and reap the victory.After discovering that the winning rate was still not good, Kobe had no choice but to give up this style of play again in March, and began to exert his own strength throughout the whole process, scoring crazy points to win.If it weren't for this crazy wave of 23 wins and 06 losses, the Los Angeles Lakers would definitely not have made the playoffs that season.It is not unknown to everyone about the brutality of the West after the millennium.

This year's playoffs are even more obvious. Kobe restrained his desire to score in front of him, and focused on defense and feeding the ball to the inside. He had to stand up and score in the sixth game of the life-and-death game. A 50+ game was also Kobe's postseason. Game Highest Score was born.In the seventh game, he continued to implement the will of the "Zen Master" and let the inside play more, but unfortunately he was not strong enough and eventually lost the game.A lot of people here criticized Kobe for not being angry at the end. In fact, both Kobe and Jackson publicly explained later that this was the decision of the team's coaching staff.But it was also this game that made Kobe understand that this group of teammates can't move, and if he wants to win, he must sign.

They all talk about Kobe's decline in the playoffs that year, mainly scoring, because assists and rebounds have actually improved.But you also have to look at how much Kobe's shots dropped in the playoffs that year compared to the regular season?Close to 7 times! 20+ shots and close to 28+ points, the shooting rate is as high as 49.7%, and the three-point shooting rate is 40%. Isn't this the so-called high score with low shots?Isn't this the efficient mode? FOX Sports once made a data model. The more shots taken by NBA players, the more difficult it is to score and the lower the shooting rate. Under the analysis of big data, no one can be exempt.And around 20+ shots is the shooting range with the highest shooting percentage for an NBA player. Just look at Kobe. Except for the impact of serious injuries in the last three years, under normal circumstances, Kobe's 20+ shots and shooting percentage are not bad. , basically remained at around 46%.The so-called super-efficient scorer "Reaper" Durant is also like this. In the regular season with more than 30 shots (not including 30), only one hit rate reached 50%. They are 7%, 41.9%, 45.2%, 46.9%, 42.4%, 45.4%, and 41.2%, respectively. The two games with the highest shots have the lowest shooting percentages.You say this is just the law of the regular season?The stage for superstars is the playoffs?Well, because of this law, it is actually more suitable for the stage of the playoffs.

Durant shot 30+ in all games in the playoffs, a total of 5 games, the highest was 43.3%, the lowest was 21.2%, and the average shooting rate was only 33.7%.High-efficiency like Zhan Huang actually confirmed this point in the finals. High shots, as long as the sample is enough, must have a low hit rate.The reason is very simple. Among the 20+ shots, the proportion of reasonable shots and opportunity shots is the highest. Once it exceeds, the larger the excess, the smaller the proportion of reasonable shots and opportunity shots, and the proportion of strong shots and strong shots begins to increase.

Therefore, Kobe's career is actually constantly seeking changes and cooperating with the team. This is actually a torture and test for the player's game feeling and game state.It's not to belittle Zhan Huang, he can't do this, of course, he is a player with his own system, and this ability is incomparable to scorers and tough players like Jordan Kobe Durant.Each has its own strengths.

So it's not that Kobe can't change, it just depends on whether he can win. If he can't, he can accept his role adjustment.

Whether it is the switching of various game modes or the switching of team roles, Kobe has experienced a lot in his career. Is there any doubt about one of the strongest second-in-commands in history?Even the "Pi Erye" is far behind in this point.And when OK broke up back then, it was actually O'Neal himself who made the most of it. This Kobe later made an in-depth statement on a famous American talk show.

Of course, this doesn't mean that he is willing to change, willing to play some roles that he is not happy with, or that sentence, unless necessary.

Is that time now?Tang Qian didn't think so, and Kobe didn't think so, so he supported Tang Qian.

To sum up, it is to grind the position all the way, not to play high-speed offensive and defensive transitions, not only not to increase but to reduce the offensive and defensive rounds.This is simply a style of play that goes against the development trend of modern basketball, but you won't know until you play it if it's suitable.

The method that is suitable for most teams in the league is not necessarily suitable for this Lakers team.For example, the Grizzlies, for a long time he has been a representative of positional warfare, with low scores and low rounds, as did the Pacers for several years.

There are leaders and terminators for the rise and fall of any trend, just like the players in the 90s ended the previous super high offensive and defensive rounds, and the league has entered an era of positional warfare and low rhythm for nearly 20 years.The current "small ball storm" started with the Suns, led by the Heat, and pushed to the apex by the Golden State Warriors.Who will end this era is currently unclear.

But obviously, Tang Qian's proposal worked, because both the Lakers and Kobe are actually more suitable for positional warfare.

With super defensive strength, Kobe is the player in the league who can maintain a stable shooting rate. No matter James or Durant, he is not as good as him.What's more, now, this is the peak Kobe, even the super-peak Kobe.

Since it was an away game, and because the two teams had already settled a lot of ties, the Pepsi Center of the Denver Nuggets was full of boos and shouts at the beginning of the game. Suffered a lot of mental pressure.

This is the reason why many players perform abnormally in the away game. It is not that their strength is too low, but purely because of mental and psychological problems.

Look at the Lakers, if you give them a singles game, you're probably going to hit shitty hits tonight.

Therefore, the basic tone of the Lakers in this game is that Kobe will attack first at the beginning, and when the opponent comes to double-team to help defend, he will pass the ball to the open player.Look at the adjustment of the situation in the middle. If the other players are going well, Kobe will continue to play the ball to attract the defense.If the condition of attacking first is taken away, this is simply the general style of play of the Lakers during the period when they entered the Finals 3 times.It's just that there was a triangle offense bonus at that time, and now there are more and greater tests for Kobe.

This style of play is actually a kind of superstar style of play. The downwind ball is played by others, and the upwind ball is played by the star himself.

From the 80s to 2010, it has always been very popular. After 2010, the stars all play the downwind and the upwind by themselves, or even only take the downwind and the upwind.However, there is an obvious disadvantage in doing so, that is, the upwind shots are all coming by themselves, and the hit rate is bound to be greatly affected. All fools know that downwind shots are easier to hit, easier to score, and easier to collect data than headwind shots.

But Tang Qian believes that Kobe is fine, because he has played like this throughout his career.

The 24th also believes in himself.

The referee threw the ball, Tang Qian successfully scrambled for the ball, Timofey Mozgov and Tang Qian scrambled for the ball, there was no chance of winning at all.

Steve Blake dribbled the ball slowly, and after everyone was in position, he passed the ball to Kobe on the right wing inside the three-point line.It can be seen from the first ball that this is a standard landing position.

The man defending Kobe was Randy Foye. He is a strange man with a heart on the right side. It's a pity that God didn't take care of him tonight.Kobe hit him on the back at the beginning of the game, and easily entered the net with a back.

brush~
2-0.

This person is characterized by a relatively short stature, but 193cm has reached 213 pounds.It's a pity that this advantage is gone this year, because Kobe's weight has reached the highest in his career, exceeding 205+ pounds. This strength and tonnage can completely crush the former.

In the past, when heavy guards dealt with Kobe's post-up, they tried to be as hard as possible, and then they did not lose their position and were not eaten too deeply by the opponent. The farther away the 24th shot was from the basket, the better.After 2010, it was considered a relatively useful tactic. Kobe is getting older, his breakthrough is not as good as before, and his weight has been reduced year by year in order to bear the burden on his knees, so more back hits are concentrated on the back.But now Kobe doesn’t have this kind of “weak spot” anymore. His back-to-back power was already extremely terrifying and pure, and he could single-handedly kill players who were much heavier than himself. The lower back cut almost knocked Randy Foye apart, and the entire defensive position retreated about three or four steps.

In this way, Kobe shoots closer to the basket, leans back more easily, and hits more easily.

On the offensive end, the Nuggets still played fast. Their excessive core Ty Lawson made a mid-range shot, "swipe~", 2-2, helping the Denver equalize the score.

But soon, Kobe succeeded in attacking again. After entering a relatively deep position with his back, a fake move shook the defender, and then he inserted a beautiful step, layup and hit the net.

Kobe's footsteps are absolutely superb. Except for Joe God, no one in the history of the perimeter can challenge him.

He is the top and peak in the history of outside footsteps.

The Nuggets are playing fast breaks again, throwing the ball as soon as they get it in sports games, "Swipe~", let alone, another one was thrown in!
But Kobe and Tang Qian didn't care, because they would miss sooner or later, the hit rate couldn't be too high, and once they missed...

Kobe made another back-to-back attack. This time he caused a thug foul from the Nuggets Faried, stood on the free throw line, and made 2 of 2 free throws.

6-4.

The Nuggets continued the "track and field team" style, but this time they were not so lucky. After giving the ball to Timofey Mozgov, the latter made a shot and was served by the No. 29 cap of the Lakers.The basketball flew into the hands of Jordan Hill, Hill passed the ball up the court, Kobe made a fast break with the ball, and dunked into the basket with a "boom".

8-4.

The Nuggets missed a shot, the rebound was protected by Tang Qian, Kobe made a three-pointer from the frontcourt, Duang~, missed, but because it was all in the position, the Lakers had plenty of time to retreat, no It will be like the previous 10 games, easy to panic.

In the first 6 minutes, Kobe took all the shots. He made 9 of 6 shots and made 5 free throws. A total of 17 points were recorded. Being played by No. 24, there was a problem with the Nuggets' defensive system.They were not a strong defensive team in the first place. This season, they averaged a lot of points per game, and their average conceded points per game exceeded [-], even higher than their points scored.For such a team, what defensive tactics and defensive rotation do you hope he can play?It's okay to show off its appearance, but once it falls into adversity, the frame will easily fall apart.

This season, the Nuggets have changed from a perennial strong team in the Western Conference to the last in the Western Conference. They only changed a head coach, and it took only one season.

Later, Kobe saw that the opponent's defensive center of gravity began to concentrate, and immediately passed the ball. Once this kind of ball is passed, it is basically a small space and opportunity. It can be regarded as an inventory of the team's offense.At the end of the single quarter, the Lakers led the Nuggets 26-19 by 7 points and entered the second quarter.

Compared with the previous ten games, the score in this single quarter was significantly lower.

The second quarter is the melee time of the substitutes. During this period, the Lakers did not play blindly. It doesn’t matter if the shooting percentage is not high throughout the whole process. too much.And if you play high-speed offensive and defensive transitions and play full-scale running and bombing, you will definitely lose more points in the same period of time.Therefore, on the balance, reducing the offensive and defensive rounds is the most reliable, as long as the offense can score a few times, Kobe will play again in the second half of the game, and the offensive problems will also be easily solved.

With only 3 minutes and 14 seconds left in the second quarter, Bryant re-appeared, and the score was 33-34.Because of the low number of rounds, the Nuggets did not lead by too many points.Otherwise, if both sides run, the score difference may increase by about 20%.

"Good job, Nick, you are very suitable for singles." Nick Young actually has strong shooting and offensive ability. Although he is not strong, it is already very good for the current Lakers, and he is not picky. room for.After all, they are just veterans joining you with a basic salary, so you have no reason to demand too much.

During this period of time, Nick Young scored 7 of the Lakers' 5 points. The shooting percentage may not be good, but he can score in the positional battle, which has achieved the purpose of the Lakers to let him go up.The Lakers' bench lineup is used to delay the time in the offensive and defensive rhythm of the whole position, so that the score difference will not be narrowed or stretched too much.As long as this goal is accomplished, it is considered a successful mission.

Nick Young grinned. In fact, his impression of Tang Qian was not bad, not as bad as he expected at first.

After Kobe went up, he first relied on a three-pointer to overtake the score, then steal the opponent and pass the ball to Wesley Johnson to complete the dunk. At this moment, a wave of five points was recorded, and the Nuggets were instantly countered by 4 points.

半场比赛结束，科比得到了20分2个篮板4个助攻2次抢断的数据，湖人队43-39，4分领先进入了更衣室中。

This seems to be a very ordinary game, but this is just the beginning of the league's surprise and even panic.
