1488 He doesn't pass the ball
5 consecutive 40+ games, this is already alarming, because this kind of scoring is not common even in modern times. The media has already begun to report on this matter, but it is not strong enough, and when Tang Qian comes a few more times, it will be very different.
In the next game, the Lakers and the Spurs faced each other, and the Spurs were still very strong. Even after Duncan retired, they still maintained a strong momentum, and they are currently 44-13 and fighting the Rockets for the third place in the West. The competition between the two teams is quite fierce, you go back and forth, and so far there is only half a win difference. The first is the Warriors, and the second is the Lakers, who have won 8 in a row.
Because it is a strong team, it is naturally inevitable to have a live broadcast in the United States.
The Spurs' lineup is still like that, Leonard + Aldridge + Dwyan, who have completed the evolution. Dedmon + Tony. Parker + Danny. Green. In fact, to tell the truth, they are very strong, but this strength is limited. Especially in the current alliance, their "double-German combination" is actually not enough. At least in the west, it is like this.
Why was the original time and space swept by the universe, is it because of the poor strength? No, Leonard has been very fierce this season, especially in the playoffs, and the PER has soared to 31+! The key ball is also very stable. However, it is just that there are more stars and more firepower. So don't look at this Spurs team being swept by the Universe Brave, in fact, their strength is still very good.
The overall atmosphere and the new core are all in place, and with Popovich's guidance, there is basically no trace of the transition to the "GDP" era. So to play against the Spurs, you have to do a good job first, it's hard to break his level easily. And what the Spurs are most afraid of is unreasonable shooters, and once this kind of outside line appears, the Spurs often have to suffer. Kobe Curry-Durant, both, especially Kobe and Durant, who are super shooters who attack indiscriminately and don't need any space, are the shots that the Spurs have not been able to solve perfectly for so many years.
But this kind of person, the Lakers don't have, Butler is now very transformed into an efficient style of play, but compared with the above, it has fallen several grades. First of all, scoring ability and singles level are not at the same level. They can beat the Spurs hard, Butler can't.
The Spurs also seem to be ready for a game against the Lakers, and with home-court advantage, they feel good.
How to say it, it is the kind of person who walks into the examination room, is full of confidence, thinks that he is well prepared, is not afraid of any problems, and can read more than 10,000 books and write like a god. Well, as a result, the Lakers gave them a hard blow at the beginning. The Spurs are prepared for the Lakers' style of play, so why shouldn't the Lakers? I want to play Parker, I want to play top arc cover, so as to circumvent the defensive energy of the Lakers' No. 1 position, but ...... The Lakers, on their side, seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and quickly made a forced squeeze.
That's right, Rondo squeezed straight past the pick-and-roll, and then died against Parker.
This is also the Spurs' own problem, if it is still a "GDP combination", if it is still Duncan and Parker blocking, the effect may be completely different. Dwayne. Dedmon's pick-and-roll quality was too low, so he was squeezed by Rondo dexterously, and several times Parker was left in vain. And at this time, the offensive time is basically running out, so ...... It can only be a strong hit.
Parker used to play strongly, and the playoffs were one of the game-breaking arrows, but in the end, it was still age, and the "French sports car" was already 35 years old this season, and it was impossible to have the breakthrough ability of the year. Now, without the help of pick-and-roll, it is impossible for him to easily break through the level of the defensive formation. Coupled with the lack of quality of blocking and pick-and-roll, the Spurs played very hard with these balls.
Instead, he was beaten several defensive counterattacks by the Lakers.
Popovich, of course, quickly changed the lineup, chose Parker's top arc block as a bait to attract the defense, and then directly handed over to Aldridge in the low post No. 4 singles. ALDRIDGE BECAUSE OF THE 213CM DWYAN. Dedmon is here, so staying in his favorite power forward position, it's not particularly difficult for him to single Randle. In the end, he is still a veteran interior star with very versatile scoring means, and Randle wants to defend him alone, but the coffee position is still not enough.
But the Lakers have made a great defensive setup for this game, which is based on Aldridge's scoring percentage this season. This season, Aldridge cut inside without the ball and scored a lot of points, so in order to maximize Randle's defensive role. Larry. Brown actually let Randle not care about the rest, just followed Aldridge to death, so that his game without the ball was basically invalid.
Randle still has an obvious physical advantage in the No. 4 position, plus enough energy, so for a while Aldridge seems to only have a single mode to attack. And Randle's defense has improved a lot more than the original plane, and has been in Larry. Brown's growth defense is a must, and then ...... Aldridge scored a lot tonight, if not too little, but not too much.
It's not good. In the first quarter, he shot 3-of-7 from the field and made 2 free throws to score 8 points, which was obviously not enough for the Spurs.
Popovich wanted Leonard to perform as well, but Butler came hard as soon as he defended Leonard, and the effect was not good enough.
Here is why it is clear that Leonard and Aldridge can play alone, but it always feels insufficient. Reassuring Spurs fans. Isn't it because the Lakers have better offensive firepower than theirs? Therefore, it is naturally insufficient. You have to improve your scoring efficiency. How to improve scoring efficiency? Popovich set up his tactics and wanted to use flank cover to help Leonard score more efficiently.
The Lakers' single defense point is too good, and the No. 3 position is Butler, who seems to be quite angry about not being selected as an All-Star recently, so everyone who defends is a "hungry tiger". With the Lakers, he doesn't have to take on that much scoring firepower, and now that he's on an efficient shooting route, he naturally has more energy to put into it on the defensive end.
In the end, not everyone is the kind of Jocco, the offense is weak and the defense is still high-intensity, this kind of person is too rare, you actually don't say that he Butler, a lot of so-called defensive masters, once the score goes up, the defense is not good. Butler basically averages more than 20+ points per game, which basically affects his defense. This time in Tang Qian's absence, the performance is especially obvious.
Origin planes have similar examples of Seasons.
But now that Tang is potentially contained inside, his offensive pressure is much less, and his defense can rest assured.
But this routine was guessed by the Lakers, and the Lakers made a fake defensive trap, which seemed to make Leonard block and dismantle successfully and could pass, but as long as Leonard made a shot, he would be immediately interfered with. Because of this place Larry. Brown asked Butler not to take the kind of hard way to squeeze through the wall, but to use ...... Just bypass.
This place, Larry. Brown used a set of "defensive cover" strategy, in order to strengthen Butler's bypass effect and reduce the bypass time, he asked Randle to come over to "counter-screen", that is, he went to directly block the opposite screener, so that Butler could quickly and without interference. This trick didn't really make much sense in the past, but in modern times...... But it means a lot.
How to say it, because the previous blocking and dismantling mobile cover was blown very tightly, basically you move a little bit like this is an illegal cover. But since the rise of the Warriors in the 14-15 season, mobile cover has become something in the league that "cannot be banned". Because this season, it's not just the Warriors who are using it, which team in the league doesn't do it? Even the Lakers can't be exempt from vulgarity. Otherwise, everyone is moving to block and dismantle, and you still stick to the rules, isn't that too much of a loss?
So when dealing with moving screens, the value of this "anti-screen" comes out, allowing players to no longer have to worry about being blocked by the opponent when they get around. It is equivalent to changing direction and turning "mobile cover" into the original "fixed cover". Reverse breaking. This set was the first to emerge from the Lakers. Brown added it to pregame training camp, primarily to deal with the Warriors' move. Otherwise, it's too much of a loss.
At the very least, it would give you an extra defuse move.
It was just used on the Spurs tonight, and the Spurs' blocking was too bad, and Randle easily counterblocked, giving Butler a chance to bypass directly. Butler also believed in Randle, so the ball was basically bypassed at full speed. Then reach out directly to interfere with the opponent's shot.
Leonard's first ball was almost hatted because he didn't expect Butler to come out so quickly, and the effect behind it was not particularly good, but it wasted offensive time and tactical energy. Especially if this kind of tactic is not effective, the players themselves will feel a little tired after playing too much.
Seeing that the effect was not good, Popovich could only give up.
On the defensive end, because I was afraid that the Lakers would shoot away, the Spurs were directly killed by the Lakers last time, so I paid special attention. After taking the defensive center of gravity in the low post, the focus is on the No. 29 ball interception and ball interference. According to the playing habits of the 29th, the effect of this should be good in the first three quarters. Let's hold on to the front first.
Popovich thought so.
Otherwise, it will be spent in front, and it will be a fart.
It seems to make some sense, but who would have thought that the Lakers would ...... on the 29th tonight After hitting one, I hit the second, and after hitting the second, I started to hit the third. At this, the Spurs players were a little overwhelmed, and they all looked at Popovich, wanting to know what to do next. Popovich insisted on continuing here, and he didn't believe the 29th would continue to do so.
Outcome...... The 29th kept doing it.
Still fighting, continuing to fight, continuing to fight.
Dwayne. Di Avis is going to be beaten until he vomits blood, okay, he is only 245 pounds, how can he prevent Tang Qian, who is already 325+ pounds? If it weren't for Tang Qian's average free throw tonight, the Spurs would have been pulled away here. Don't...... He saw through my setup??? Knowing that our low-post closure is all false, the original intention is to cut off the conduction ball inside and outside?
No way? Is his ball quotient so high???
Seeing that the opponent was playing so resolutely, Popovich couldn't help believing it, and shouted a timeout, which could only be adjusted.
However, where did Tang Qian see it, where did he guess it in advance, he was not an immortal, and he was not Zhuge Kongming, so he couldn't pinch it. The truest answer to the reason why he made Popovich's set-up a mess is...... He didn't even think about how to pass the ball tonight.
That is, playing by himself, he only has the basket in his eyes, so he hit it by mistake, which made the Spurs' pre-game arrangement completely unsuccessful.
Popovich made a mistake with Nuggets coach Mike Brown. Malone is the same error, except that the former is a conclusion reached after calculating the probability. Malone is a gamble. The result is the same, but the level of tactics is completely different.
It's just that Tang Qian is to blame tonight, he just doesn't pass the ball.
After the pause, there was an adjustment, and the big man was taken in the low post double rotation position, which actually allowed the team to strengthen the real defense of the low post, no matter how the opposite side blocked and changed, it was to deal with it a little, and then let the big man stay in the low post. This move is obviously used to deal with the Lakers' No. 29 non-stop scoring. Of course, there will be defensive holes, because basketball is a balanced game, and if you focus on defending a certain point and a certain area, then the rest of the points or areas will be relatively weakened defensively. How to deploy it, in fact, is also a charm of professional basketball.
But Popovich believes that under normal circumstances, opponents will find problems after playing at most one, and then choose to change their offensive strategy. It's basically an inertial mindset in the NBA. Even those players with high ball quotient will directly stop continuing their individual offense as soon as they see this change and adopt another offensive mode to run the team.
But tonight...... You don't care if Tang Qian saw through it or didn't think much about it at all, anyway......
Keep playing. Keep killing. Continue to just.
This made the Spurs a little stunned, no, we have strengthened our interior defense, and you still have to fight? You didn't mean to, did you? Just want to put on a show, draw the defence and pass the ball? But after one ball, two balls and three balls, the defenders on the Spurs' side finally understood that this guy was No. 29, and he was real...... I'm going to keep fighting.
He's real, he doesn't want to pass the ball.
That's too much, isn't it? We don't believe that the two of us can't stop you!!
Spurs' Aldridge + Dwayne. Dedmon thought so, and even thought that it would be better to defend the foul if he couldn't do it, and he couldn't let him play 2+1 anyway. It's a really good idea, and then it's ...... In just the half, both were combined and five fouls were committed.
These are the two main interior players of the Spurs, and they both committed five fouls??? What kind of planes?
Ade and Dwayne. Dedmon himself was very confused, what happened to us, why did we get five fouls so quickly?
Didn't he touch porcelain, did he? Of course not, this is the real lethality, Tang Qian has the heart to attack now, unless you also have a heavy center to top, and then the rest of the people, otherwise, it is basically tonnage crushing, and the lethality is amazing.
Why did O'Neal have to stock up on muscle sticks after O'Neal became a big winner in the early 21st century? At that time, the value of muscle sticks rose dramatically. It doesn't matter if you don't have any technology. Isn't it just to limit Ao Fat a little? Now there are space insiders everywhere, and Ade is only 260 pounds. Tang Qian is 60~70 pounds worse, and there is a gap in strength.
Both of them were rootless duckweed, and they were pushed open at once, allowing No. 29 to find opportunities and gaps.
If you don't let it, it's a foul.
And what Popovich and Spurs fans didn't expect the most was that this No. 29, he really didn't pass the ball.
I haven't passed the ball all the time.
Isn't he a team player? What a madness.
