Chapter 821
Five minutes later, the Rockets played badly because they couldn't use their regular season routines at all.

why?This has a big problem, that is, their tactics are unsystematic.

Kevin McHale, his "blind tactics" in the regular season can still be messed up, playoffs?You think too much.

The targeting and analysis of the playoffs are N times that of the regular season, and the degree of emphasis and penalty scale are completely different.

So many regular season tactics will not work at all in the playoffs, that's it.

McHale, so far, sorry, is a regular season coach, not a playoff coach.

It is even less likely to have the potential of a champion coach.

It's not that he will definitely fail in the future, it's just that his ability is limited now.To paraphrase D'Antoni, he was undoubtedly a great player in his player era, but as a head coach?He still has a long way to go.

And a team without a system at all is impossible to achieve playoff results. After all, Harden and Howard are not the kind of players with their own systems.Therefore, the infiltration of the head coach's tactical system is quite important.

With a reliable No. 90 position, D'Antoni's tactical level is completely different from before. How about he is a "small ball master" and "running and bombing master"?Look at the league's small-ball and run-and-gun style of play, which was not initiated by him at all. The old Nelson and others were all pioneers after the pace of the game slowed down in the [-]s.However, none of them leveraged the entirety of the alliance.

Running and bombing, on the contrary, is only regarded as a kind of "heretical way" and a kind of "sword slant", and it is impossible to finally enter the hall of elegance.

But Mike D'Antoni is different. He has really brought the league from a slow pace to a fast pace, and it is getting faster and more exaggerated.From the perspective of the overall rhythm change of the league, he can be regarded as an indispensable promoter.

And, really, his ability to activate defenders is extraordinary.

As long as you are a defender with certain organizational skills, he can fully stimulate it.

Nash, Jeremy Lin, and the future Harden are all written by him, so there is a saying in the league that if you can't play as a guard under D'Antoni's system, then basically you will play for the rest of your life. not coming out.The word "star" will always be insulated from you, please go to the role player area and the substitute player area and wait in line.

So with Nash, D'Antoni's ability came out all at once, and he even became more flexible on the spot and with a lot of brains.It's like blessing a "halo".This situation is not unreal, it is the additional "benefits" brought about by people's energy and spirit reaching a peak.Under the leadership of Nash, the Lakers scored 5 points in 19 minutes. What about the opponent?D'Antoni arranged for Kobe to defend Harden alone, and the effect was extremely significant.

Although Harden has made significant breakthroughs and improvements this season compared to last season, that's only for himself.In front of this comprehensive peak Kobe, he is still not worth mentioning, weak enough.The previous method of bullying the elderly Kobe by speed and strength is completely unworkable, so rely on rhythm to break through?Yes, Harden's rhythm breakthrough is good, but it also depends on who he compares with.

People are more popular than people, and this also works in the NBA.

For example, Kobe's fallback is the second in NBA outside history, but compared with Joe God, it is inferior.

So is Harden.

The combination of his rhythm and sudden shooting will actually be at the top level of the league in the future, but unfortunately...he met Kobe who has returned to the peak of various attributes and has more than ten years of NBA game experience.than rhythm?Than the sudden cast combination?With Kobe?That's self-defeating.

At this point, Kobe is still sitting on the sidelines except for Qiao Shen.

No, this season, in this situation of peak physical fitness + peak ability + peak game experience, Jordan at the peak may not necessarily be able to say that he can win Kobe for sure.He has reached the limit of the 2 position this season.

Harden?You want to single Kobe?Are you serious?Or is it Kobe's best combination of rhythm and sudden shooting?

Coupled with the restrictions of the last season, the closer this Kobe is to the finals, the stronger his desire will be.

Harden hit Kobe 4 times in singles, and except for 2 free throws, he made no progress, and was completely strangled by No. 24.

Compared with the first round, this shows the extraordinary level of No. 24 this season, because Monta Ellis of the Mavericks is still too weak, and it doesn't take much effort to blow up.Now Harden, the "first point" touted by ESPN at the beginning of the season, can be regarded as allowing No. 24 to "enjoy" it.

"Come on, keep trying, don't give up, I'll be waiting for you opposite."

"Your defense is not good. It is far worse than when you were in the Thunder. Why? The focus is on the offense, so you lost the defensive end? As the league's first point, this is not a bad thing. ah."

"Your rhythm breakthrough is not bad, but the connection is still not smooth enough. The link between technology and technology is too rigid."

"Did you see that, this is the standard action of bowing to the Buddha under the crotch and retreating suddenly. Your rhythm is too slow, and you are prone to being stuck and blocked by defensive masters."

Harden was going to be confused by Kobe. He didn't understand why Kobe suddenly became so terrible this season.It's almost a different person from last season.When I met Kobe in my first season, I never played so embarrassingly.Of course, in the 09-10 season, Kobe had already begun to decline, but compared to other positions in the league, he was still the strongest.But not his own strongest state.Harden has never seen Kobe before 08, so his experience is not deep.

Even Kobe in the 05-06 season can blow up any historical position in the league, let alone Harden this season?
In the era when the Lakers' offensive rounds and offensive rhythm were only around 90, they averaged 35+ points per game, and the average overall round of future offensive rhythm exceeded 97~98. The 2017-2018 season point guard guru Jason Kidd said in an interview that the current and previous data are completely different.Data is depreciating!

Once the round of the game is improved, it means that all statistics will increase. Can you imagine that Kidd's 4 triple-doubles in the season were the first in the league?What now?Is a triple-double something unusual?
To put it simply, Kobe averaged 35+ points per game. If you put it in the future, you should not be surprised to average 40 points per game.

What is the difference between 9~10 rounds?Even if only 45% of the shooting rate is counted, it will be achieved in a few rounds. This is still counting the distribution of the ball. If the "lone wolf" has a little "condition" suitable, it will not be too strange to score crazy points.

And the current Kobe, even without considering these big rules and the environment, is unmatched by the peak Kobe.

It can completely suppress the peak Kobe!Regardless of attack, or defense!It will be all right!
Even the final desire and determination, the last season, the last burning No. 24, is stronger than the No. 05 in the 06-8 season.

What is the level of Harden in the 13-14 season?Far from growing to his greatest peak!
It is not surprising to be completely suppressed by the current super peak Kobe.

This is the real Kobe who combines offense and defense, not the Kobe with 7 points of offense and 3 points of defense in the later stage, not the Kobe who directed traffic in the late stage.Except for the peak Jordan, he can kill anyone solo, both offensively and defensively.

Harden in the 13-14 season?Can't be ranked in history, what can be used to be tough with this Kobe?Fight each other?
"Have you seen it? Ladies and gentlemen, have you seen it? I'm not bragging. Kobe suppressed the 'League No. [-]' James Harden on both offense and defense as soon as he came up! This is so coquettish! Too domineering Already!!!"

"There is nothing to make a fuss about." Another commentator, Stu Lantz, said: "Bryant is a sure second in history. It is not normal for him to rule the Nth James Harden in history. Is it? If Harden can go to nightclubs less, maybe his performance will be slightly better."

Under the ridicule of the Lakers' home commentator, the poor "League No. [-]" couldn't come up with a better way to break the game.

Harden was really a little angry, but it didn't help at all, Kobe still controlled him tightly, as long as it was singles, his shooting percentage was not even 2%!Harden was not a scorer with a particularly high shooting percentage. Although the more requirement of the position is not efficiency but output, but now he doesn't even have output?

Harden, who was extremely angry, even used the Porcelain technique early on, but there was a problem with this set in the last round. The change in scale made Harden's Porcelain result far less smooth than the regular season.It's not that there are no whistles, but at critical moments, the referee's control of the whistle has become very strict.I won't give it lightly.

So the Rockets' victory over the Clippers in the last round was really entirely due to Howard.

This is basically similar to the years in the original time and space. Howard's playoffs are far stronger than the regular season, while Harden is just the opposite.

Last year, his shooting percentage in the playoffs was less than 4%. The weakness in the playoffs was the bottleneck for his promotion to a higher level.

And, to be clear, the whistle also has weights and scales.

If Harden is really the number one player in the league, you will naturally have the upper hand in the fight for the whistle, but what if the target is Kobe this season? What about Kobe, who is MVP+ one defense and one defense, and Kobe who has played super scoring data?David Stern is not stupid, and neither are the referees.Harden's star whistle will naturally be greatly reduced, but will be faintly biased towards No. 24.

Even if he is not biased, once he enters a large number of high-intensity offense and defense, Harden will be at a disadvantage.

That's what happened to Yuan Shikong. This problem has not been solved until the 16-17 season. What about the opponent?It is far from the level and grade of super-peak Kobe.In this way, he is so embarrassed, so the end is obvious.

After the first quarter, Kobe completely suppressed Harden, and the defensive end allowed Harden to score only 4 points.

They all rely on free throws.

The remaining 7 shots all missed the basket.

This kind of direct matchup data is really indistinguishable. Harden's fans are a little confused.

Howard sat on the sidelines and couldn't help complaining loudly: "Why didn't you give me the ball? I haven't touched the ball in a serious way until now!!! What the hell are you doing!!! Ah!!!" Harden His face was a bit ugly, because these words were obviously "pointing and cursing". Although they didn't mention their names, any fool would know who Dwight Howard was complaining about.

But Howard has confidence, because in the last round of the playoffs, the Houston Rockets were able to overthrow the Clippers because of his dominant offensive and defensive data. They succeeded in the tiebreaker and advanced to the second round of the Western Conference playoffs .

If you rely on Harden, you will definitely kneel.

Now he feels that it is time for him to "go hero" again to lead the Rockets out of the woods.

In view of Dwight Howard's excellent performance in the first round of the series, McHale thought for a while and let Howard start the offense as the main attack point in the second quarter.Harden was arranged to become an outside turret and became a three-point shooter ready to catch the ball.

For a man who wants to be the "No. [-] in the league", this is definitely a humiliation.

Because since Jordan's, what is the image and standard of NBA shooting guard stars?singles!Attack!The team's scoring core relies on!Now Harden is asked to release the ball and singles and become a three-point shooter. Isn't this a humiliation?You know, he has stated many times that he is the boss of this team.

Harden looked at McHale, thinking it would have some effect, but unexpectedly the latter didn't look at him, but instead said to Howard: "Dwight, it's up to you in the future, you are the number one center forward, the core pillar of the team , I believe you can lead us out of the predicament." This remark was a bit of a "two-sided grass" meaning, which was also a major coaching error of McHale.

Because if a fixed team boss cannot be determined, it must be a factor that has a great influence on the stability of the entire team.

And the more critical the moment, the more serious the impact.

The Rockets' "Yao Mai Combination" was the same, and so is the current Rockets' "Magic Combination".

Why is this happening?This is all due to the lack of courage of the head coach.

After all, if it is as strong as "OK Group", it must be separated from top to bottom, let alone "Yao Mai" and "Modeng"?
In a small group, it is not suitable for multi-leaders. McHale is not willing to implement this simple truth.

It is wishful thinking that both of them can be the absolute boss, and whoever does it will be the one who is in good condition.

This can only solve a temporary need, in the long run, it is actually not good.Because this dampened the enthusiasm of another person, and at the same time virtually contributed to the team's trend of "fighting openly and secretly".

Seeing that he had won the "boss' right to exercise" again, Howard said happily in his heart: "Don't worry, Mr. McHale, I will lead the team to overcome difficulties and defeat the opponent just like the last round!"

"Well, come on, I know you can do it." McHale thought he was superb at "manipulating people", and was secretly proud of himself.

But will there be a change in doing so?Kobe ruled Harden, what about Tang Qian?
