Chapter 834 - Pawn

In fact, to be honest, this Spurs team is far worse than the Lakers in terms of roster data and honors this season. Even the biggest card in it, Tim. Duncan, the regular season statistics are in the middle of Gasol, or even slightly inferior. The rest, from the division to the center, are greatly inferior. No. 1 Parker and Nash also have their own strengths, the former is better in offense and defense, and the latter is the league's highest assists per game, and the playoffs are currently the league's assists per game leader. Well, even if the Spurs' combined GDP and stats improve in the playoffs, that won't be a threat to the Lakers' stars.

The basketball was in Nash's hands, the Lakers started the first round of offense, and the Brazilians couldn't compete for Tang Qian, which is a normal thing. If you look at the data, you will know that Tang Qian has not failed a few scrums in the entire regular season, and the success rate is extremely high, so the Spurs did not take this matter seriously.

At the beginning, both sides were a little tentative, which is mainly the reason why the opponent played amazing data and records in the first two rounds, don't look at the Lakers swept the Rockets in the last round, but the Rockets were actually restrained by the Lakers in terms of lineup structure and tactical system, which is the reason. Their superstar basketball is promoted by Harden + Howard, and in the last round, the so-called "first percentile" and "first center" were all beaten by the Lakers' opponents! It's not a suppression, it's a blast! If you can win this way, that's the ghost. Do you rely on McHale's crappy tactical system and tactical level?

And Tang Qian will explode when he meets Howard, which is also an advantage, but for the Spurs, the effect is not so good. First of all, this season's Spurs aren't playing superstar basketball at all, so it seems like a no-brainer for you to "suppress" your opponent's stats. After all, Duncan's regular season is close to 15+10+3+2 data, although he is more versatile, but he encountered a good performance inside, that is, he was "suppressed by data".

Parker Ginobili is similar, the data has never been so prominent.

So playing against the Spurs this season, you seem to be suppressing their star stats and becoming a "natural" thing. However, it didn't work and they continued to win. If it weren't for the Lakers' sudden rise, Kobe Bryant's full peak, and Tang's potential ability soared + a month's super scoring output, how could it be supported until the return of Gasol and Nash? How can it be possible to get the first team record in the West or even the first in the league? You must know that the original plane, this honor, this position, is none other than the people of San Antonio.

Therefore, playing with this Spurs, you can't watch the traditional counterpoint suppression at all, if you look at this, you will find that the pants will lose in the end. Coupled with the fact that San Antonio people still have a consistent tradition of "playing dead in the regular season", the playoffs and regular season combat effectiveness have never been equated. No, from the very beginning, the Lakers felt a lot of pressure.

This is something that has never been produced in previous games against the Mavericks and Rockets.

And compared with the regular season, their various targets and arrangements for the Lakers are also completely different.

It's like a precise calculation, facing the gaps and flaws of the Lakers everywhere.

For example, the defense is completely the defense of the shrinking inside line, and it is still Kehuai. Leonard went out to defend Kobe Bryant, and Lakers fans thought that the Spurs were going to be beaten by No. 24 singles again, but the situation in the first quarter was not optimistic. Bryant shot just 3-of-8 in the first quarter, and although he made 2 free throws, he didn't shoot well at 37.5%. This is Kobe's lowest single-quarter shooting percentage since the playoffs. And the No. 24 individual soldier was blocked, and the Spurs were more fierce for the arch guard on the inside, and Gasol and Tang Qian had no easy room to shoot. Here Tang Qian discovered the defense of the Spurs, and when he entered the inside, he would inevitably shrink, as if he had formed a fixed tacit understanding of the team, there was no command or shouting, everything was done by the players spontaneously and consciously.

This one ball is fine, but if there are too many, it will be terrifying.

Infinite horror.

Why? First, it is orderly, there is a degree of advance and retreat, and it is not a temporary feeling at all, and everyone has a sense of performing their duties and being responsible for a certain aspect and work. This is difficult, after all, there are fewer attacks on the inside line, this is because of the size and volume, some blocks above 210CM or even over 7 feet basically do not have this ability. Occasionally, that is, occasionally, there is no possibility of regularization. Therefore, the offense is a single body, the defense is the overall action, and the overall action is prone to many problems such as lack of tacit understanding, distraction, looseness, untimely rhythm matching, etc., but this Spurs, shrinkage and joint defense are like, all like...... Monomers are the same. After playing for nearly a section, Tang Qian was stunned that he had not found a few mistakes and too many flaws.

This is the first time I have seen him play basketball and play the NBA until now.

There are not many single defenses, and many people shrink the inside line and low position, which makes it extremely difficult to attack the inside line.

Fortunately, Duncan is still old and his personal ability has declined, otherwise the Spurs' team of low-post defense will break through the sky. Gasol's offense has been relatively stable in the modern interior, but tonight's shooting percentage is currently 1-of-4, and the 25% shooting rate is simply miserable. As long as the Spurs make a shot, they will increase the number of confrontations by a large margin, a scale and intensity that is obviously impossible to have in the regular season. And why can Gasol be able to kill all sides in FIBA, which is the strongest low-post killer first-class, and it will be greatly discounted in the NBA? The main reason is that Gasol's confrontation ability and determination are not enough, the regular season is fine, but he will be targeted as soon as the playoffs arrive, and the data is greatly reduced. This has become more and more obvious since 2010, after the physical fitness has become more and more aging and declining, the Spanish tower has gone crazy in the playoffs, and no matter what statistics and results can be played in the regular season, the playoffs have become greatly reduced. After 2010, the highest output of the original time and space could only average 14+ per game in the playoffs, and the lowest was 7+, which is the proof. Not to mention that he met Duncan in the playoffs in his career, and the statistics were completely suppressed.

What about Tang Qian? It's a pity that the Spurs are not the Rockets, and without Howard, he was affected by the "demons" tonight and his form was reduced by 21%! On the offensive end, there is basically no hope of making an independent shot. In the first quarter, Tang Qian grabbed the offensive rebound for the only time, and wanted to make a second shot under the basket, and immediately understood the difficulties of Gasol next to him. In an instant, several people from the Spurs pounced, and the speed and speed reached a terrifying level, and Tang Qian suddenly took a big hat.

The so-called 13-14 season Spurs, the embodiment of the team's invincibility, is not just offense, only conceding an average of 97 points per game in the playoffs, and the finals are even more exaggerated, only allowing the Heat to score 91+ points! That's the Miami Heat, in fact, if James hadn't played the most offensive efficiency in the Finals that year, they wouldn't have been able to score this point average at all. Zhan Huang, who has the Big Three and the "188+ Club" in the finals, can only get an average of 91+ points per game...... What if Zhan Huang's performance wasn't the most efficient? Is it that you can't average 90 points per game? It's scary to think about.

There is nothing to say about the inside line, it was completely suppressed by the Spurs, the Spurs are also the league's famous low-post suppression defense king, for the inside killing, in the past two decades, they have been the best protected together, so there is also a saying that the Spurs "prevent the basket and not shoot the Pistons". But this question seems to have been filled in this year, because after a few rounds of the series, I don't know what potion the Spurs poured into No. 2, his single defense ability, linear evolution, as if completely enlightened, all of a sudden Kobe Bryant felt surprised.

It is equivalent to their biggest shortcoming, which can be plugged, relying on the third-grader who looks a little "facial paralysis".

Progress, that's the charm of NBA stars, they're not marionettes, and sometimes the rate of growth is amazing.

Tang Qian couldn't believe it, although he knew that in the future, this "serious-looking" young man would win the award of DPOY outside the original time and space, but he didn't expect it to come so soon. Suddenly, he thought of a previous analysis article, the playoffs in the 13-14 season are the Spurs No. 2's "defensive energy breakthrough time", basically every round he plays, he will produce almost visible growth in defense. Until facing the strongest Zhan Huang, he completely broke his defensive limits and became the most feared outside DPOY holder in the league. But Tang Qian didn't know that this young man, he would get 2 in a row.

This kind of perverted ability, even Jordan and Payton and back then still Ron. Artest's guys, they can't do it.

DPOY was originally a forbidden product for big men, and it was forcibly taken 2 times by an outside lineman, or Lianzhuang, you think about the difficulty and challenge. To say something that many people may not like to hear, his defensive ability is already the strongest in the history of the outside, and he is firmly in the top three at a young age. In addition to the irregularities when it was first established, after the 90s, only 2 people were able to get it. And now the selection system has long been standardized, and you want to be the same as the original Sidney. Monccliffe won the DPOY twice, which is simply nonsense. At least until the Spurs No. 2 did it, who would have dared to say that they would think that the outside player could win this award?

This guy is no longer the ability of the second defense when he met in the regular season before, his defensive ability has definitely improved to the level of the first defense, and it is the upper reaches of the first defense! I'm a little careless! It was the first time that Kobe Bryant had encountered such a strong single defense this season, so it was normal to be a little uncomfortable.

Plus they also have a strong 3-and-D player on the outside, Danny. Green, and the playoffs in these two seasons, unfortunately, were also the highest peak of the playoffs for this player at least until 2018. The defense is extremely strong, and the fixed-point three-point shot is accurate! What does it mean to be God's permission? That's an average three-point shooting rate of 47~48%! That's basically the limit of an empty shooter!

Moreover, his defense is not the type of single-defense bite, and he is still an extremely rare tactical defensive leader in the league.

The so-called tactical defensive elite is different from the former, the former mainly relies on personal ability and physical fitness to suppress the opponent, while the latter requires strong tactical literacy and tactical understanding. To use a simple analogy, Tony, a perennial first-guard holder. Allen, he belongs to the former, with a fierce single defense, focusing on suppressing the attacker's offensive efficiency to the maximum. At this point Danny. Green's can't even catch up with Tony. Aaron's. But this Spurs team is no match for Tony. Aaron, even more in need of Danny. People like Green. In addition to the three-point shot, there is Danny. Green's quality of tactical defense is higher than Tony's. Aaron didn't know much.

For example, for the opposing team's blocking and dismantling defense, the rotation of the outside line, the active position to delay the opponent's attack, and the understanding of joint defense, are all better than Tony. I don't know how much Aaron's simple individual defense is stronger. Besides, the Spurs have Leonard, what more bikes do they want? Tony. No matter how strong Allen is, can he be stronger than Leonard's defense? Hence Leonard + Danny. Green is the best perimeter defensive pair in Popovich's mind. Again, Tony. Parker is not bad, Parker is actually a defensive strongman in the No. 1 position, although he is limited by physical fitness and cannot do Paul's level, but his stability and not losing position are also Popovich's dishes. Moreover, it is estimated that few people know that his defensive efficiency has been one of the best in the entire No. 1 position in recent years. The defensive S of his entire career has surpassed the famous Chris in both the regular season and the playoffs. Paul.

The defensive efficiency of the two is also between the two.

It's just that his defense is mostly flat and stable, and there are too few bright spots, and you have to look at advanced data to see some clues.

In this case, in fact, the Spurs' outside defense has reached a daunting level.

The Lakers' offense was a bit stuck in the first quarter.

At 33-19 in the first quarter, the Lakers trailed their opponents by 14 points.
