Chapter 966 Activate teammates, comprehensive suppression
The Rockets were beaten a bit in the first quarter. The Lakers scored 38 points in the first quarter, but they only scored 19 points.Lost by 19 points in the first quarter.But Kevin McHale told the team not to worry, because in his view, although the Lakers' offense in the first quarter was fierce, there were also many problems. If they play so fast, the turnover rate will also increase. This is definitely unavoidable. .And what kind of guy is Jeremy Lin? He has been coaching for several years, and he clearly despises him very much, so he doesn't think the Lakers' offense can continue.

"Defend well, don't worry, we will attack steadily, the Lakers are looking for death if they play so fast!" Kevin McHale said: "When the time comes for them to mess up, we will take advantage of the trend and kill them! Understand Yet?"

In the second quarter, Tang Qian spent a lot of time off the court. Although it was not the same as last season, he stayed off the court for almost the entire second quarter, but he was absent for at least half of the time. The Rockets were not weak offensively during this period. Flowering, scored almost 8 points in 29 minutes.This already has a high success rate, but looking at the score difference, they haven't shrunk too much.Because even if the Lakers are on the bench, their offensive ability is not bad. Nick Young, Meeks, Landry, Bosh, and Hinrich all played a wave of very good offense. Within 8 minutes, the Lakers lost 29 points, but they also scored 21 points. It seems that when Tang Qian plays again, the score difference is still not small, with 11 points left.

This is D'Antoni's way of playing as a substitute. He does not consider too much defense at all. He still uses offense instead of defense. This can not only stimulate the enthusiasm of the substitute players on the court, but also score against the offense. It will not be a substitute. I was chased crazily.As long as Tang Qian can successfully get on the court, the Lakers' defense will stand up again.

Regarding Tang Qian's inside defensive ability, D'Antoni is very used to it and feels at ease, so he specially assigned the task to the substitute to fight to maintain the score difference, and then wait for the main force to come up to solve the problem.He is not Popovich, nor does he have the intention of relying on the bench to play a surprise effect. D'Antoni himself still likes to use the main force to solve the game.

Anyway, to win is the last word.

As soon as Tang Qian came up, he looked at Howard and said: "Okay, your good days are over, and the next game will be your time to suffer." "You are still so arrogant! Dongfang... Dongfang hot!! !" Howard's statistics in the second quarter were very good, and now he is not worse than Tang Qian, and even scored better, so he also said with some confidence: "But this is not the last season. Everything I suffered last season , I want you to spit it all out this season! Double it back to you!"

Tang Qian just smiled and said: "I have always been so arrogant to you, don't you know? Give me back double? Don't talk about this season, I bet you will never do it!"

"You...wait for me!" Howard went to the basket and returned to defense. Jeremy Lin made a pass error and was taken by the Rockets. Harden originally wanted to push a fast break, but he suddenly discovered that this The return speed of the Lakers last season was much stronger than last season.Whether it is Trevor Ariza or Jimmy Butler, they are both very defensive and not weak in defensive awareness, so it is not a problem to return to the defense immediately to contain the Rockets' fast break.After all, Harden has never been a particularly fast person.

His playing is still dominated by strength and rhythm. At least for now, his shooting has not reached the level that will be so strong in the next few years.

Just kidding, what perimeter defensive lineup did the Lakers have last year?Except for Kobe, almost everyone else is below the standard and vulnerable.To curb fast breaks, the most important thing is the defensive ability of outside players, because compared with inside players, their positions are more inclined to the three-point line, so the speed and distance of returning to defense are shorter than inside players.No matter how strong Tang Qian's physical fitness is, he still needs to run back from the basket, so he basically can't keep up.Last year, the Lakers were beaten fast by their opponents, and it was difficult to suppress. The biggest disadvantage is here.The perimeter defense is too weak.However, this season, the situation has changed dramatically. Both Ariza and Jimmy Butler are strong defensive players. They are both in their 20s and less than 30 years old. Their athletic ability is also at its peak. This way the wings retreat, and the speed is faster than that of the Lakers last season. The team does not know how much stronger.And the defensive fast break only needs to delay the starting point, and wait for the first attack opportunity to be contained, then you can wait for Tang Qian to return to the defense, sit on the inside, and greatly improve the defensive attributes of the Lakers.

Sure enough, Harden was entangled by Butler on this ball, and he didn't have a chance to hit a quick counterattack immediately.

With this delay, the rest of the Lakers basically returned to their positions, and the Rockets fell into a positional battle.

For positional warfare, the Rockets don't have many options, and McHale's tactical ability is not enough. In addition to basic small coordination, what can be used is Howard's singles and Harden's singles or pick-and-roll attacks.This kind of offensive power is obviously not enough to deal with the Lakers.

The basketball passed to Howard, and Howard is still not sober, he is still addicted to the illusion that he is a "low post killer".He won't wake up until he leaves the Rockets.Therefore, he singled out Tang Qian.

Singles against Tang Qian, now he basically has no advantage. Although he is slightly heavier than Tang Qian, he is no longer the crushing feeling he used to be.Besides, Howard's body can't bear the weight of 290+ pounds. Tang Qian clearly remembers that Howard will not be able to bear it this season because of his body, and he has been injured for nearly half a season before returning.

And this time when he came back, his first task was to reduce his weight.

So far, Howard, who is 290+ pounds, no longer exists. He also lost his absolute advantage because of his tonnage and strength, and his lethality at the basket was greatly reduced.With that rough offensive technique, without the support of a huge physical advantage, his offense has declined more and more.Since then, it has basically been in a slump, and the offensive end has degenerated to the "blue-collar level".

It took a trajectory almost completely opposite to that of Tang Qian's career.

From a combination of offense and defense to a blue-collar player, Tang Qian has changed from a blue-collar player to a combination of offense and defense.

Howard wanted to face the basket and use his body to fight against Kai Tang Qian's shot under the basket, but this time, the effect was very poor. Tang Qian, who also weighed 290+ pounds, would no longer be so easily confronted by Howard. .Take a look at this, basically there is nothing out of place.

In order to avoid attacking for three seconds, Howard could only continue to shoot. In this way, there was nothing to say, Tang Qian slapped him out with a big hat.The basketball rolled beyond the Lakers' sideline.

"It's no wonder you're getting worse and worse and your physical fitness has declined. You still want to attack like you did when you were young. Aren't you dreaming?" Hearing Tang Qian's words, Howard said a little annoyed: "Don't think you've built it." One is awesome, I don’t need you to teach me how to play!” “I’m too lazy to teach you.” Tang Qian walked past Howard unhurriedly and said, “Anyway, after your body can no longer hang on to this body, you His scoring ability is bound to decline again, so I can shoot you to death with one foot."

"You are so crazy! You will be slapped in the face by me! One day! You will be slapped in the face by me!" Facing Howard's yelling, Tang Qian only hooked his fingers and said, "Come on, there is something Just come, I'll wait for you, come as long as you can."

The Rockets wanted to hit the ball without the ball, but Tang Qian interfered again. The basketball slid out of the basket. Bosh got the rebound and passed it to Jeremy Lin quickly.This is the typical D'Antoni style of play that can no longer be typical of the D'Antoni system, reducing positional warfare, and defending and counterattacking when there is a chance, but what if there is no chance?If you don't have a chance, you have to create an opportunity by force!Anyway, as long as you can avoid positional warfare, you can throw it if you have a slight chance.

This is also one of the reasons why role players are prone to "data overflow" under this system. Don't talk about offensive rhythm and offensive rounds, just say that you can make decisive shots like this, which can improve the players' confidence and hit rate, okay? .

The Lakers Ariza Biao scored a three-pointer.

Basketball hit.

On the Rockets side, Harden wants to stand up and break the Rockets' difficult scoring period. This season, because of Kobe's retirement, Harden has started to be aboveboard and has become the league's signature No. 24 point.This season, there is finally no objection.Harden is also very glad that the No. [-] of the Lakers was injured and retired. Otherwise, in the state of last year, he estimates that he will not be able to make it for several years.He doesn't want to be like Wade, who has not exhausted Kobe, and he is aging first.

That's too bad.

However, Harden himself has indeed grown a lot this season. Tang Qian remembers that his basic data this season has increased to almost 27+6+7+2, which is already quite impressive.The scoring ability has been firmly seated at the level of a first-class scorer, and it is no longer the level of just getting started last year and the year before.After becoming a first-class scorer, it is not easy to improve every point per game. Harden has gone from 25+ to 27+. This improvement is not insignificant.Now even Butler, who is the second defense, can hardly say that he is completely blocked, making it difficult for him to score.With an average of 27+ per game, even if it is a defense, it will feel like a big head when it is matched.

Harden's future does indeed have the potential to be a super scorer.

This is rare, because there are only a handful of super scorers in the league who can reach the standard within a few years.From this point of view, if it is not compared with Kobe, Harden is still very good.As for bragging about his assists... well, let's see his assist-to-turnover ratio first.Compared with the real No. 2 positions like Paul Nash Stockton "Magic" Johnson, the assist-to-turnover ratio of 1:1 is simply horrible.To put it simply, this is the number of assists accumulated by the possession of the ball, and the data of all-inclusive play will inevitably increase.Look at Westbrook, look at LeBron James, basically this model, high data, high turnover, not a real point guard master, high data, low turnover.

The gap inside, need to explain more?Even Rajon Rondo, he is a representative of high data and low turnover.

After all, he is not a pure point guard, and he is not capable enough to pile up the ball. Just look at the data and you will know that the higher the assist data of the all-inclusive play, the higher the turnover data will also be greatly increased.LeBron James, the strongest spokesperson for all-inclusive play, actually averaged 8+ assists per game, and he also had a 2:1 turnover ratio, but who is the real point guard master?This is why it is said that if Jordan wants to play like this, his data will only be stronger than these people.Suspect?For a simple example, in the season with the highest assists, Jordan averaged 8+ assists per game, and the turnover ratio was less than 2:1.Don't look at it as a difference of a few tenths, but the more you hold the ball, the more exaggerated the gap between the numbers will be.

So if you allow Jordan to average more than 5+ turnovers per game, then it can be said that he has an assist of 10+ with ease, and 11+ is easy.In the same way, when Kobe played point guard and increased the possession of the ball, he could easily get a triple-double or quasi-triple-double.Therefore, it is normal to have a big package with high turnover and high data. High data is normal, and there are not a few outside superstars with comprehensive abilities who can do it.The real test of organization and connection ability should be high data and low error, this is the real skill.

Just looking at the data is too much of a fake fan, and there is no real awareness of being a "data party" at all.

But this season, Harden has not yet started to completely take over the game. His identity is still a little more than a pure No. 2 attacker.Harden forcibly broke through Butler's defense, and was about to make a layup when he got inside, but how could Tang Qian agree so easily?He is not what he was last season now. With the increase in weight and strength, his defensive ability and defensive pressure have begun to be further exerted.The power of the nine defensive crystal bricks and blocking crystal bricks also began to truly show gradually.

Harden bumped into Tang Qian's body, but didn't fight against the gap and space at all, so in the end he was hit by Tang Qian's hood.

Pa~ The basketball flew directly out of the Lakers' restricted area.

How did he become so physically strong in an offseason?Has this completely become a heavy center forward? ? ?

Harden himself is actually in the back line, and he can be regarded as relatively prominent in strength and tonnage. This is also a major basic weapon for his survival.Coupled with fairly good acceleration and explosive power, he can almost earn a little bit of money for ordinary insiders.Of course, this also has something to do with the lack of any heavy centers in the league at the moment. They are all 250-260-pound insiders. Harden who was hit by the impact knocked open the gap in the air and knocked out the shooting space. What's so strange?
Tang Qian, who used to be, would also be knocked back or knocked away a lot by this blow. Only by relying on his extraordinary wingspan and physical fitness can he barely make up for it and exert his defensive power.Now, that is no longer the case.After the opponent can't hit him, he has more space and time to adjust and block shots. Why do you say that nine crystal bricks still can't reach the defensive ability and block numbers of Zhang Dashuai, the peak of the year? This is the reason .

The Lakers made a fast break and missed, but Tang Qian came from behind and grabbed the offensive rebound from Terrence Jones' head.At the same time, he pulled up his shot as soon as he landed, pressed his body against the latter, and easily scored the second offensive goal under the basket.

The Rockets Harden scored, Beverley missed a shot, and the Lakers grabbed a high rebound and started hitting and pushing again.

In fact, the Rockets retreated very quickly with this ball, but the Lakers insisted on implementing the "sports warfare" strategy. Jeremy Lin used the pick-and-roll to break through and passed the ball to Tang Qian, who was attacking down. Tang Qian hit the inside, and Howard immediately came to block .At the same time, he said: "This is the offensive end, don't be arrogant!"

But Tang Qian's ball still caused a defensive foul by Howard and stood on the free throw line.

"I know it's the offensive end, but you can't guard me, so if I want to be arrogant, I can be arrogant." Hearing this, Howard sneered angrily: "It's just that your referees are taking care of you. A home whistle, how can you still be arrogant?" Seriously? Let’s see if you can make free throws! Dongfang is hot!” As a result, Tang Qian made free throws and made 2 free throws. After all, there is no “demon”. After all, this is the regular season, and his free throw percentage is still 6%. Between 1 and 6 into 3.In this interval, it is not impossible to make two free throws.The famous Tim Duncan also had 2 full seasons in this shooting range or even lower.As long as it doesn't deduct 4 to 2% of his free throws all at once, Tang Qian's free throws in the interior are not too bad.

This is also the reason why few people cut him in the regular season. More than 6% of the free throws, cutting people, is not worthwhile.

In the playoffs, because of his "demons", in fact, he made 3% to 4% of free throws for a long time. Such free throws are of course impossible to be accurate.But now his "demons" have dissipated, if someone kills him in the playoffs, he will make people pay the due price.

"It's a pity that I went all in. Do you think I'm you? The free throw black hole." Tang Qian said before retreating, making the corner of Howard's mouth twitch uncontrollably.Mom. Egg!My free throw black hole?You think you are not?Look at how you were targeted and cut by others in the playoffs, do you think you have the qualifications to criticize me?Damn Orientals! ! !

Harden scored one for the Rockets. He made a shooting action with a gun. It seems that with Kobe's retirement, his first position has become more and more stable. Almost no one can compare with him.He also became more and more confident.

"It's okay, Jimmy, as long as you defend well, he won't be jumping for long." Butler nodded a little depressed. After all, he still won't feel good after being so hard-pressed.Seeing his appearance, Tang Qian smiled, patted his shoulder, and ran to the frontcourt.

The Lakers missed a shot and the rebound was caught by Howard. Now Howard already knows that his offensive rebounds cannot beat the Eastern center, so he simply protects the defensive rebounds wholeheartedly, so that the statistics will not be too ugly.The Rockets didn't feel very good in this period, so under McHale's "God's guidance", they handed the ball to No. 2 James Harden.

Harden held the ball, and the Rockets opened up the space for him to solo.

This is really ironic. When Kobe was in the past, the Lakers were absolutely strong at this point. No matter who they met in the league, they always had the advantage.Now this position has been opened up, which also makes many Lakers fans feel embarrassed.

Harden relied on his step-back skills and made another shot. His state, obviously played out, Butler's defense was not good, he was lazy, or he just didn't defend.Harden is very satisfied with his state and progress, he began to become more and more complacent, and his gestures became more and more exaggerated.

But Tang Qian knows that Harden, at least in the past few seasons, is a typical type of strong offense and weak defense. He is a bit similar to the Rockets predecessor Tracy McGrady.Obviously defensive skills are still good, but in order to save physical energy on the offensive end, the defensive end automatically reduces energy input, and even in many cases, it is defense with eyes and no effort in work.

The Lakers missed the shot. It seems that the touch has come down, but Howard failed to protect the rebound. The rebound was snatched off by No. 29 of the Lakers and said: "Be careful, you are weak now. Duan, if you are not serious, you will be robbed by me, you know."

"Asshole!" Howard cursed, but Tang Qian didn't hit the ball himself. He passed the ball to Jimmy Butler who was moving and said, "Jimmy, come on, blow him up."

What?Blast him?Who to beat?Jimmy Butler was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, but he quickly realized that it was the No. 29 of the Lakers who asked him to play a "response ball" and attack James Harden.But can I do it?Harden is the league's top scorer ranked by ESPN this season.But what Tang Qian said dispelled his hesitation: "Offensive, don't hesitate, Harden is a porcelain doll. In addition to being able to touch porcelain on the offensive end, he is also easy to touch on the defensive end! Just play him!"

This is the first time someone said that after Harden became famous, and others don't know it, but Tang Qian knows it himself. Butler is considered a rough jade on the offensive end.Regardless of his mediocre scoring data in the past three years, this season will be his explosive season. The offense he practiced hard in the offseason has received feedback from the game. Right now, Jimmy Butler is no longer the same as last time. The Butler with only 13+ offensive ability this season is not the Butler with only 8+ offensive ability last season. His real offensive ability can reach a full 20+ level!Therefore, there is absolutely no problem in defending Harden, who likes to be lazy, if he wants to fight hard.

Sure enough, Butler broke through for a layup and scored the goal, and he suddenly discovered that James Harden was not as scary as he imagined.At least on the defensive end, he is enough to break through.

And this is also the biggest problem for modern stars. No matter what ESPN says, there are very few stars with both offense and defense.This is also a major factor why watching football is becoming more and more boring.The previous stars all have a "dark competitive mentality", which Kobe mentioned in many of his self-directed and self-acted (dubbed) short films, I don't just want to get 40 points on your head!Get a big reversal!Get the lore!Moreover, I want you to score only 20 points, 15 points, 10 points or even less under my defense!

Therefore, the mentality of competition has caused changes in the nature of competition.

The nature of the league's commercial performances is getting more and more serious, but the real essence of competition is getting less and less.

For example, Harden is a typical example. He actually has defensive ability and has bright shots, but he is "lazy" and "do it by himself". He has never had this "dark competitive mentality" from beginning to end.So look at his game, the statistics are gorgeous, he scored a lot, and the assists were not low. Then, he was also scored a lot of points by his opponent. In a game, there were N times of distraction and poor defense.

Are you saying they really don't have this ability?It may not reach the level of the defensive lineup, but if you try your best, it will definitely be much better than it is now.Look at Harden in the Thunder era, look at McGrady in the Raptors era, they are all representatives of the upper reaches of defense.But then they all fell apart.When comparing data, what is most often overlooked?It's defense!What Kobe really crushed his contemporaries outside was just offense?What makes him stand out more and stand at the top is his defense that surpasses the rest by a large margin.

For example, you have to think that Tracy McGrady has 9 first defenses, and you have to think that Harden has 12-13 best defensive team...

Do you think their career achievements will still be at this point?Of course, in addition to this, what affects their offensive and defensive integration is endurance, exercise and physical fitness, but you are "lazy" even in consciousness, so what are you talking about endurance, exercise and physical fitness?
When you use endurance and physical fitness as a permanent shield for poor defense, the so-called defensive awareness will naturally weaken.But at that time, it is not the former who are influencing you, but the latter is the decisive factor.

Modern stars can't bear their poor data but do good defense, but they can tolerate their own data and their opponent's data.

All kinds of differences, savor carefully, you can always find something.

And once a habit is formed, it is not easy for you to change it.

Sure enough, after Harden was scored, he didn't feel anything, just thinking about getting it back on the offensive end.

Anyway, I'm in a good state tonight, aren't I?

He broke through with the ball and wanted to lean on Butler for a layup. When this happened, Butler only heard someone shouting behind him:

"Get out of the way, Jimmy."

Butler turned subconsciously to one side, and then from the corner of his eye, he saw a black figure rushing out of the Lakers' basket, and then slapped Harden's ball away with a solid slap.

"Brothers, don't be dazed, let's start the new season with Houston."

"Extinguishing!"
