Chapter 828 Scale Changes and Unspoken Rules of Punishment (Added to)

2-0, the Lakers have a chance to sweep Space City! —Los Angeles Times.

Full suppression!Kobe suppresses Harden!Hot to suppress Howard! — the bleachers.

first rank?No. [-] center forward?Do you still need to think about it now?Idiots should see it, right? — Lakers Nation.

First place!No. [-] center forward!All in Los Angeles!It's all at Staples! ——TNT official website.

In China, headlines are flying all over the sky:
No. [-] center forward?first rank?Still not coming to Staples Center to die? ? ?

Tang Kei said bluntly, the number one center forward?Look at the data!Brother is too lazy to answer!

The Lakers' elimination of the Rockets has become an avalanche!unstoppable!

In terms of Post Bars, the number of fans of the Lakers has skyrocketed. Basically, NBA Bars and Basketball Bars have been "dominated", and all posts are about the Lakers or related to the Lakers.Of course, this is also easy to recruit the Lakers, because there are always some radical fans. This kind of people open their mouths with the words "second kill", "complete explosion", and "who is not convinced".

But this is something that can't be helped. If the quality of the fan base can still be controlled, it would be strange.

Unless you achieve Jordan's absolute project dominance, it's almost the same.

Otherwise, there are as many secrets as there are blacks.That's normal.

The same is true in the forum, there are voices of ridicule everywhere, and people are very happy to watch.

What is Harden doing?In the face of Kobe, he flew a kite outside the three-point line in the second half?Is this still the King of Attacking Porcelain?
Believe me big brother, Harden is just looking for a new way to break the enemy. Since fouls are not easy to use, maybe three-pointers?

Look at the ball, it's McHale's standard tactic at first glance, a few hits are completely blind, and there is no sense of well-trained.

I think our high school's tactical system is better than theirs!real!

Then you think too much, the NBA is still the NBA after all, hard skills can kill high school students!You must be kidding!

Kobe ruled Harden, Donkey ruled Warcraft, is there anything else to say?The game is over!Everyone go home!

Jeremy Lin is actually the Rockets scoring the most points, which is so ironic, he is just a bench player.I feel sorry for my brother Hao.

If the Rockets still fight the Lakers against the giant planet, then the series will be lost!Because you can't fight at all, okay?This is courting death!I can't stand this old Huo Mi anymore!
Dude, who do you support Tang Kei and the Rockets?

Of course I support Tanguy, I'm just used to supporting the Rockets.

Transfer to the home team, the Rockets no longer have kilns.

I don't think the Rockets can win a game unless everyone is doping!
Believe me, eating doesn't necessarily win.

……

But at this time, someone intervened, because David Stern was basically in a semi-retired state, so Adam Silver, who was going to take office next season, held a secret meeting.The content is very simple, increase the "fierceness" and "competitiveness" of the Lakers and Rockets.This kind of bullshit is actually his usual method. In the future, the alliance's manipulation of the game will also be highlighted in an instant.In order to increase the ratings, he is much more courageous than David Stern.

However, Americans have this habit, and basically decide the successor, so they will not interfere too much.

For example, the leadership styles of Jobs and Cook, who were completely incompatible, have also passed through the transition.This point is completely different whether it is domestic or "father-son system" and "family system".However, the United States has been a developed country for a long time, and its economic system and thinking have become mature and complete.Give the country a period of time to develop, and there is also the potential to catch up with the past.

On May 5, US time, the third game of the Lakers VS Houston Rockets series was moved to the Toyota Center in Houston.Aerospace City vowed to stop the opponent at home and complete the comeback.

Now that we are back at home, we will look brand new!Rockets coach Kevin McHale said so.

Local Houston newspapers also cheered for the Rockets, satirizing and belittling the Lakers by the way.

These are all common methods, and the Lakers didn't take them seriously.

Mike D'Antoni even quipped that he wanted to end the series in Houston.

On the Lakers side, it is relatively easy on the whole, because after 2 games, they have a clearer understanding of the strength of the Rockets.Almost no threat to the team.

Because their core points have been blocked, there is no need to question Kobe and Tang Qian's defensive ability.

Coupled with McHale's lack of tactical ability and impromptu changes, it seems to be a matter of course to clean up the Rockets.

However, as soon as the game started, they realized something was wrong.

Because the scale and bias of the penalty have changed significantly.

Moreover, they are all going to the Rockets.

This only shows one problem. The league has made a move. They hope that this round of the series will last for a few more games to earn more ratings and dollars.

In fact, as early as the Stern era, there were similar situations. For example, during the three consecutive championships of the Lakers, the Sacramento Kings led by a big score of 3-2. As long as they won another game, they could advance to the finals. The situation during that time Yes, as long as they rush out of the West, the winner of the finals will basically be decided.The combat effectiveness and competitiveness of the eastern teams are too weak.That was the closest the Kings got to the Larry O'Brien Trophy.However, the Lakers, who were on the verge of elimination, got the "league bias". After only 8 free throws in the first half, they made 32 free throws in the second half.Among them, in the fourth quarter, 27 free throws were made! ! !

Throughout the game, the Lakers made as many as 40 free throws.

In this way, they have just won the Kings by 4 points. If there were no 27 free throws in the fourth quarter, the consequences would be disastrous.

Perhaps the overall bias of history is about to be changed.

But this is not a precedent. After all, the NBA is still a business league greater than a sports league. I’m afraid many people don’t know that the Bulls made 40 free throws in the fourth game of the finals, and finally defeated the Jazz by only 4 points. .

Kobe is not surprised by this set, after all, he was also one of the "beneficiaries" back then.As long as it is not too exaggerated, he can also understand the original intention of the alliance.If it is not exciting or exciting, it will be insufficient to watch, and the ratings will drop, and the income will also drop.As for the decline in overall income, in fact, it is the players themselves who are unlucky in the end.

The bosses don't care about the penalty, but the players point to this "breadwinner".

Therefore, as long as it is not too much, it is generally acquiesced, and it is good to fight hard.

Because even if 40+ free throws are made in the playoffs, victory may not be guaranteed. In fact, there are not a few losers.Therefore, as long as you are strong enough, you can win in the end, making the alliance's macro hands powerless.

However, Bryant still underestimated the determination of the "quasi-new president" to control.

In terms of "commercial manipulation", he is much more "blatant" than David Stern.But why did he still get the support of most players in the future?That is, he can make the league make money, make more money, and it also means that players can make more money. In this case, after you calm down, what reason do you have to oppose him?This can be regarded as capturing the hearts and weaknesses of NBA players.In this regard, his vision is no worse than that of David Stern.

Know how to promote your own reforms and high-level orders with the least resistance.

In this game, many people were there, especially ESPN. In order to maximize the ratings, they directly invited Rockets stars Olajuwon and Drexler.What about the Lakers?Just invited a harmless Gail Goodrich to speak.

It's not that they look down on Gail Goodrich, but in terms of fame, honor, coffee and even the number of people, they are not as good as the opposite.

So the Rockets pressed Goodrich to "fight" from the beginning, especially some "ridiculous" and "beautiful", which made the Lakers fans' teeth itch.

There is no way, although he retired his jersey with the Lakers, his honor is really not as good as "Glider" Drexler.Not to mention the "big dream" Olajuwon, who was the first of the "four major centers" in the 90s.

In the basketball circle, you don't have the corresponding honor and ability. When you talk to each other, you are born with "malnutrition" and fall behind.

Why is Barkley always beaten by O'Neal and others?And basically can't beat it?This is because he doesn't have enough hard honors, so he can't shake in front of O'Neill.The same goes for Gail Goodrich. He wanted to speak for the Lakers, but he was suppressed by the opposing "Rocket Group" throughout the whole process, and he was a bit powerless.

However, if the Lakers are strong, he still has a chance to "one against two" and "final comeback".

But after the first quarter, the Lakers only led the Rockets by 2 points, with a score of 28-26 in a single quarter, and the Rockets seemed to be playing very well.However, sitting on the sidelines, Meeks couldn't help complaining: "He obviously hit the ball just now! The referee didn't call the penalty? How depressing! I made two turnovers in one quarter!"

The Lakers made 8 turnovers in a single quarter, which is definitely a high number, because most of the time, Steve Nash still controls the basketball.But it's not that Nash is in poor condition, it's just that something went wrong with the passing process and other players.What's the meaning?That is, many defensive actions are suspected of fouling.

The scale, obviously, has changed a bit.

And what makes people speechless is that this scale change seems to be only for the Lakers.

Kobe and Nash are both old ball skins, and they quickly thought of various joints, but they didn't think that this would prevent the Lakers from winning.In the second quarter, in order to adapt to the pace and scale, the Lakers relied on a steady offense and still slowly widened the score difference.At this point, the Rockets don't have much to do. Harden is still shrouded by No. 24, and his performance is extremely limited.

50-42 at halftime, the Lakers led by 8 points.

Because Howard and Harden's two main scoring points are locked, the Rockets' offensive firepower is greatly limited. Only relying on Parsons and Jeremy Lin, it is difficult to offset the gap in firepower with the Lakers.So the general situation has not been reversed.

It is still the Lakers who occupy the leading position as a whole.

But in the second half, the situation changed suddenly.

At the beginning of the second half, Harden of the Rockets began to score frequently. Was Kobe's defense declining?Of course not, this is the super-peak Black Mamba, how could he have physical problems after playing for such a short time?Since there is no problem with physical fitness, it is unlikely that the defense will drop significantly.Is that Harden broke out?Nor is it.Harden is under Kobe's control, and it's fine if he doesn't lose his state, so why talk about an explosion?This season, he is still a "nightclub climber", without the energy and destructive power of his peak period.

Well, what about prime time?Under normal circumstances, it would be strange if you beat the current number 24.

Do you think Harden is the peak Jordan?
why?The reason is.

The Lakers made a defensive foul on the 24th, and the Rockets made two free throws on the 13th!

This is the referee's penalty, the change in scale, and Harden obviously felt it. He began to frequently use "touch porcelain" to create physical contact, and then kill the opponent to win the chance to get to the free throw line.Because the free throws are free of interference, Harden's free throws are very good, 8% of the free throws in the regular season, and even more accurate in the playoffs, reaching over 6%!So when he stood at the free throw line, he almost scored steadily.

And this is the second time in a row that he has successfully fouled Kobe. To be honest, this second ball feels a bit far-fetched. It is a controversial whistle, which can be blown or not.And Kobe also received his fourth personal foul because of 2 consecutive fouls.

It was only at the beginning of the third quarter that No. 24 was forced to take down, so he could only watch temporarily.

Mike D'Antoni comforted Kobe a little bit, but now there is a more headache, how to deal with it?how to win
Even though the Lakers are still leading by a few points, the momentum on the field has been deflected a bit.

If you don't come up with a solution, this point will soon be eaten away.

It's not that he doesn't understand the "hidden rules", and he has nothing to complain about, because the league's income is high, the value is high, the number of viewers is high, and their head coaches also benefit, and the contract amount will go up.Maybe not as good as a player, but now a contract of tens of millions can be negotiated casually.In the 80s and 90s, do you think it is possible?
So what D'Antoni has to do now is not to complain, but to think of a solution.

PS: The update is here, Xiao Zi is never ambiguous~
The question about this unspoken rule is actually not conjecture or speculation, it is a fact.For details, if you are interested, you can read a book called "Whistling: Deception in the NBA". This book was written by imprisoned referee Tim Donaghy. It has a high degree of authenticity and insider information.There are many unique insights and explanations about the unspoken rules of the alliance.Business alliances can never avoid certain things and gray areas, and there is no way around it.Why some people are willing to watch the NCAA but are not interested in the NBA is also here.The unspoken rules of college basketball are obviously much less than those of the NBA.
