"What should I do?" Tang Qian looked at Kobe Bryant and asked.

Now the situation is unfavorable, the score is behind, and there is no point in talking about it.

"I need your support." Bryant Road.

"Rebounding? Defensively? I'll do my best Bryant, I don't need you to talk about these things. Before Tang Qian finished speaking, No. 24 interrupted and interjected: "No, no, no, that's not all." "I need more support," Bryant said. ”

"More?" Tang Qian was stunned for a moment, a little unclear.

"In addition to rebounding and defense, I need your offense, offense, ffense!"

"Bryant, you, you're not joking, are you? Are you sure? I? Tang Qian asked again with some uncertainty.

"Do you think I'm joking?" Kobe Bryant didn't smile at all, but looked at Tang Qian's eyes more seriously: "If you want to beat this Spurs team, I can't do it alone, the third-year student who defended me is not a rookie, his single defense ability is extremely strong, even if it is me, it is impossible to achieve my expected state." So, I, the Lakers, need a new point to step up. "But me?" Tang Qian felt a little abrupt, and even a little unprepared: "Why not Paul?" This aspect of him ......"

"Paul wasn't out of shape tonight, didn't you see him play badly throughout the series?"

"Bryant, it's easy to say anything else, but this, are you sure it's me? I don't have any confidence in myself. Tang Qian is telling the truth, because the so-called "offense" means offense and offensive. And Kobe Bryant is going to attack on his own? Or the playoffs? Or the Spurs? Isn't that crazy? And if Paul doesn't play well, how good can I do offensively?

Because even in the regular season, Tang Qian's independent offense is extremely limited, even if he starts to contact the hard offense under the basket, it only strengthens the original blank that is poor and white, and it does not mean that he is a reliable attacker and offensive point. And looking at Kobe's meaning, and that sentence, it is completely the meaning of wanting Tang Qian to temporarily provoke the Lakers' offensive responsibility.

At least one of them.

Isn't this difficult for a strong man? You must know that he is now weakened by 25% of his competitive state by the "heart demon".

On the defensive end, he turned on the "Demigod Descending to Earth" and temporarily entered the "Defensive The.Zone", which is negligible, and the problem is not too big. But on the offensive end, he didn't have anything to do.

This is a state that has really weakened by 25%, which is not too strong in the first place.

At this moment, Tang Qian's heart was even more unconfident.

This is not a lie, the Spurs' defense, especially the low post defense, has always been a must-have in the league, and since Popovich coached, the interior has been considered their strong defensive area. Therefore, even O'Neal back then didn't want to get too much favor when playing with the Spurs. Therefore, outside players playing the Spurs will be more popular.

"Hot, know why didn't I go to Paul?" Kobe Bryant saw Tang Qian's hesitation a little and spoke.

Tang Qian shook his head, after all, this pressure was too great, so big that he didn't have the confidence to bear it.

It's not a question of courage, it's just a matter of letting you fight your weakest and others' strongest, and if you can still be confident, then there will be a problem. Well, even if it is true that it is possible to do it in terms of self-confidence, what about the result? And the end? This is not something that can be solved with confidence and courage, right?

Now let Tang Qian go up to be the main point of attack on the inside, nine times out of ten, he will be prevented from being able to take care of himself.

This point of self-knowledge, Tang Qian is not without it.

"Because now, a miracle is needed." Kobe Bryant didn't say anything like a joke: "I think you're a better fit for the word miracle than Paul." ”

When the timeout was over and the Lakers returned to the court, Kobe Bryant patted Tang Qian's shoulder, and then went to the backcourt to prepare to hold the ball, but the 24th word still made Tang Qian feel "dizzy".

Marvel? I? Offensive? May I?

In fact, he didn't know that Kobe Bryant had no way to do it, no matter how strong a person was, even if he scored 50 points, or even 60 points, it would be difficult to win in the playoffs. This is especially true when the opponent is the San Antonio Spurs, who are good at team offense and defense. You know, the playoff scoring record is 63 points, but it doesn't win! The important thing is that you didn't win, okay?

Jordan is like this, even if Kobe Bryant scores 60 points, the Lakers can't win the game.

This situation, playing so far, is already obvious, this Spurs, alone, can't handle it.

Besides, there was too much consumption of state in the front, and it was difficult for Kobe Bryant to ensure the best offensive efficiency at the last moment, so it was important to let other players step up and destroy the Spurs' perfect team defense. Otherwise, even if Kobe Bryant plays harder by himself, that is, Leonard, who is the main attacker, has little effect on the overall defense of the Spurs.

And the best situation for the double break is that the inside and outside bloom, and the inside and outside echo.

This has been tried and tested many times in the history of the NBA.

Kobe Bryant missed the shot, which is normal, no one can really keep 100% shooting, in fact, in the playoffs, you want to get 50% shooting as an outside player. Especially Kobe Bryant's type of sudden shooting. The proportion of direct attacks under the basket is not as good as that of players who are mainly penetrating, so the shooting percentage is not as good as the former, which is normal. In fact, in detail, except for this round, Kobe's shooting rate is very scary, but unfortunately Nash was strongly targeted in this round of the series, and the Spurs have a super outside defender Leonard, which made No. 24's shooting rate drop a lot.

Otherwise, he will play the super-peak Kobe Bryant without the ball, and the efficiency will break through the sky.

This has been proven again in this year's playoffs.

But at the moment, Kobe Bryant alone is not enough, and someone else needs to stand up.

Kobe's choice is none other than No. 29, center Tang Qian.

“Rebound！！！”

This ball was jumped high by Tang Qian, took it down, and then he jumped on the spot, and he was about to attack again.

Still......

"Oh~ It's a pity~ Our Oriental Scalding offensive ability still needs to be honed~" The Spurs' on-site commentator couldn't help but joke. Because of this ball, he was interfered with by Duncan of the Spurs, and he shot directly across the bridge, and the basket was not touched.

Damn it! Tang Qian cursed secretly in his heart, turned around and quickly returned to defense.

It didn't take long for him to receive a pass from Kobe Bryant, and he wanted to jump hard inside, but ...... Duncan of the Spurs took it down. It's clean and crispy, so you can't find a hint of foul play.

"Hot, I admire your defense and rebounding, but offense~" After Duncan covered the ball, he actually smiled on his face: "You are still a lot worse." ”

"You don't talk nonsense!" Tang Qian was a little annoyed, but what could he do? He really can't complete the interior offense now, and he can't break the Spurs' low-post defense. Roaring and venting, sometimes, don't bring anything surreal to a person, like now.

Seeing that Tang Qian didn't score 2 shots, Kobe Bryant was also a little anxious, although it was only the second quarter, but the Lakers couldn't afford to lose, he started to play a few singles in the next ball, but the shooting rate could only be said to be okay, and it never broke through 50%. This is already a failing singles shooting percentage this season. Because of the 24th of this season, the singles shooting rate in the regular season exceeded 5 percent, reaching more than 5 into 1. That is to say, if Kobe's comprehensive singles shooting rate does not exceed 5 to 1 this season, it is an abnormal performance.

What's more, he's always looking for ways to improve his offensive form.

This further illustrates that Leonard has a strong defense, after all, at present, the Spurs No. 2 has also entered the "comprehensive The.Zone", which is enough to show that his future potential is extraordinary.

With a singles shooting rate of less than 50%, this is already against the sky, but for the game at this moment, it is still a bit insufficient.

That's why Kobe Bryant put the idea on Tang Qian, hoping that the interior players can play a higher shooting percentage, but the situation seems to be a little too optimistic. The Spurs' low-post defense is still so tight that they will never let anyone score easily.

Duang~ After scoring a few goals, Kobe Bryant made 2 irons in a row, and the Spurs quickly seized the opportunity to play a defensive counterattack.

Brush ~ With the help of cover, Leonard hit a mid-range shot.

This season, Leonard's mid-range has been fully developed, although there are still not too many appearances of back-to-back and pull-back shots, but he has reached a very stable level in the open mid-range and the mid-range after covering.

In the regular season, the long-distance basket shooting rate reached 48.7%! The playoffs have been just as consistent at 48 percent!!

Novitzki hasn't hit that percentage in a few seasons. Of course, the mid-range lethality and difficulty of the two are different, which is like comparing the open shooter with the main attacking star on the outside, which is not very comparable. The former's 3-point shot is up and down 4 percent, which is normal, but for the latter, 3 percent is enough. Because you want the former to play the main offense, it is estimated that 2 percent of the 3-point shooting rate will not be able to shoot. And NBA games, basically from the point of view of high probability, the easy.ball of a game is limited, and the playoffs are even more so. It's not the era of full-scale attacks in a few years, and the faster the tempo, the more easy.balls there are, and the more offense and defense transitions, so the best thing to do is to split the easy.ball between role players and the stars to play the ball and the non-chance ball.

At least in the 90s - 2010, it was like this.

To give you a simple example, why do some stars have a strong presence when you watch a game, but in the end it is 30 points. And some stars don't feel that there are too many highlights, and the last look at the statistics shows that there are actually 30 points.

Here's why.

In short, the presence of easy.ball is far less than that of attacking and non-chance balls, which is actually a vague feeling if you have watched the ball for a long time. Therefore, using open shots and shots that have been out of position after covering, and comparing the shooting percentage with the attacker, that is definitely the behavior of super ball blindness and pseudo-fans.

The difficulty of defending is very different from the difficulty of attacking, what is there to compare?

You're saying it's a basketball IQ problem? Come on, easy.ball is limited in a game, you are a star who has cast easy.ball, do you want role players to attack and play non-chance balls? This kind of behavior is really selfish.

But even so, Leonard has shot 48% from long range in both the regular season and the playoffs this season, which is also extremely terrifying. Basically, it's the extent that you will have it if you put it in. What is blind is that just last season, his playoff 10-16 foot shooting rate could reach 4 percent, 16-23 feet is a mid-to-long range projection, but only a little more than 2 percent shooting. The improvement in one season is staggering.

It is also the reason why Leonard is optimistic about becoming a new generation of offensive and defensive supergiants in the future.

After all, in the future, the integration of offense and defense will already be a very luxurious thing. Most of the stars are only able to play both offense and defense. So Leonard, he's a rare outlier. The speed and potential of his growth was also a key factor in Popovich's decision to nurture and support him.

Tang Qian saw this and was anxious, but the Lakers' overall defensive enthusiasm is gone, and because Kobe Bryant has controlled excessive shots and ball possession since the second quarter, most of the Lakers players are running back and forth on the offensive end, and the edge of the basketball has not been touched. It is a matter of course that the concentration and dedication of the game have decreased.

was originally 0-3 behind, a little unintentional, and now basically can't touch the basketball, resulting in a further decline in defensive enthusiasm. In this case, if Tang Qian can handle it alone, it will be strange.

Even if you play a 2k game, if your teammates are all pig teammates and the defense is not strong at all, then even if you score 100 points in a game, then you will eventually lose.

Only some brainless people may feel that the protagonist can attack and defend alone, and he will go against the sky.

Well, again, basketball is essentially a team sport.

It's never been a solo sport.

In this way, the Lakers want to turn the tables, no, even if they just want to win tonight's game, that's an extravagant hope.

It's hard, it's hard.

It's hard, it's hard!

No, yourself, you must do something! Otherwise, this year's playoffs will really be over!

How to do it??? What to do??? No matter what!! Let's attack first!!

If you don't score, you have to kill the Spurs' inside! Something needs to be changed as well!!

Thinking of this, Tang Qian recognized his responsibility again, he is also a member of the Lakers, and he is also a star of the Lakers! How can you not play a role at all on the offensive end at a critical moment???

I'M ALSO AN ALL-STAR OF THIS SEASON'S ALL-STAR + DOPY.

Don't you really treat me as a dish???

Bryant made one shot and then missed another, and the ball bounced high inside the Spurs, waiting for someone to grab it.

Who? Of course, it's me! It was me who dived!!

Who else on the Lakers can do it but me???

That's my performance time!!

Seeing that the Lakers' No. 29 wanted to squeeze in and compete for this rebound, the Spurs' interior players immediately began to get stuck in the position, preventing Tang Qian from easily entering the rebounding position. After all, they have deeply understood the rebounding skills of this Oriental, which is really too powerful. It's basically impossible for one person to resist. So now the Spurs have one person who is mainly responsible for blocking No. 29, and the other person is going to grab rebounds.

The person standing in front of Tang Qian now is the Brazilian Thiago. Split, he is also 211CM tall, but his tonnage is not enough, only about 250 pounds, about a dozen pounds lighter than Tang Qian. Moreover, his athleticism and mobility are not the same order of magnitude as Tang Qian, if he spreads out a single grab, it can only be said that Tang Qian will make him forget how to write the word rebound.

Whether it's defensive rebounding, or offensive rebounding.

However, the Brazilian is also very self-aware, so he is simply a top man and a card position, and the things he is doing now are similar to what the Lakers' Thackeray did when he played the court and Tang Qian's partner. It's all about sacrifice and flesh shields.

But he was quickly broken by Tang Qian, and instead pressed the latter behind him.

But this little victory, it's not worth making Tang Qian blink his eyes more, his purpose is not to break Thiago. Split's card position is the top man, and grabbing this offensive rebound is what he really has to do.

So, he now has to fight the Spurs No. 21 in front of him, Tim. Duncan rebounds.

Duncan has a talent for "fixed rebounding", that is, no matter how strong the opponent's rebounding ability is, they can grab almost the same average number of rebounds per game. This talent has also allowed Duncan to rebound without suffering in so many years of interior confrontation. Even against all kinds of super inside lines, that's the same, Rodman has never taken advantage of him.

But Tang Qian has now blessed the demigods, and the rebounding ball can be improved again, even if the competitive state is weakened by 25%, he will not be afraid of the 38-year-old Duncan's "rebounding talent". Duncan is really stable in rebounding, and at the age of 39, he actually has 11+ rebounds in the playoffs, which really looks like a monster of stability.

Seeing that it was the top man who broke Thiago, Duncan was not too surprised, the physical condition and rebounding ability of the two were too far apart, and it was normal to do so. But don't think I'm that easy to deal with.

Duncan actually exploded on the rebounding end, and immediately resisted Tang Qian, preventing the latter from entering the rebounding position he had occupied. And because it is a defensive rebound, the defensive end is born to occupy the right time and place, and Duncan's "fixed rebounding" talent is enough to resist the "demigods" who were weakened by 25% by the "heart demon".

What to do at this time? Tang Qian has no intention of giving up, and the rebounding end is also his strong field, isn't it?

Duncan? So what??? This rebound is my !! I'm going to get you !!

At the moment when the rebound fell, Duncan felt a flower in front of him, and when he looked again, it was a purple-gold No. 29, standing in front of him! He, actually broke his card position again? It was also successful in reversing the card position??? This guy ......

Tang Qian jumped high and grabbed the defensive rebound, and he felt that he still had strength left in the air, so he simply ......

directly took the basketball in his hand and smashed it into the Spurs' basket with one hand.

Bang!

The Lakers score 2 points!

This guy actually got into "The.Zone" with rebounding? Is his blue-collar talent really so good?

He's not really going to be the next blue-collar supergiant, is he???

Duncan didn't know that this was still a 25% reduction in the competitive state of the "heart demon", if not, the ability of "demigod descending to earth" alone would be enough for Tang Qian to ignore the former's "fixed rebounding" talent. In this way, it is the Spurs who take advantage of it.

On the offensive end, the Spurs also missed, well, it's not that the Lakers' defense is good, it's just that they miss.

To put it bluntly, it is impossible to go in every ball when the opportunity to come out, so it flies.

This is just a matter of pure probability, and it has nothing to do with the Lakers' defense.

Tang Qian grabbed this rebound, defensive rebound, as long as it fell within his effective range, basically there was no miss. It's not easy for anyone to come.

Moreover, he now has "defense and rebounding" in "The.Zone", and the negative impact of "inner demons" basically can't affect these two aspects. So, it's not a lie. Even if Chamberlain and Russell are here now and want to compete with Tang Qian for defensive rebounds, it will be enough.

Unless they're a team, and they're also defensive rebounders, that's pretty much it.

The Spurs don't have that idea either, and if they lose rebounds in the low post, they just do their own defensive rebounds. With the Lakers' combat effectiveness at the moment, the overall threat is too small.

Basketball still gave Kobe Bryant, Kobe broke through a breakaway emergency stop and retreated to shoot, deceived Leonard's defensive center of gravity, kicked the ground with a back foot, and broke through the latter with an arrow step. In front of Kobe Bryant this season, he was only deceived by feints to deceive the center of gravity of the defense instead of jumping completely, and the Spurs' 3-year rookie was the first one so far.

It is conceivable what kind of growth this Leonard will have after playing the Lakers this season.

Maybe the future defense will be stronger than the original plane.

He is now like a sponge, frantically absorbing the experience of the opponent's attacks, and then constantly improving and evolving himself.

In the future, he has the potential to become a supergiant.

And it's a supergiant that integrates offense and defense.

But the Spurs have done a very old-fashioned game, Duncan and Kobe Bryant's playoff match, it's just too much, from youth to old age, and they are still fighting, and in this process, some of each other's offensive methods and habits have generally touched a lot. So Duncan was very decisive and adopted the defensive method of closing the penalty area, and at the moment when Kobe Bryant entered the low post, the Spurs suddenly wrapped up 3 people. This made No. 24's shot suddenly difficult.

Kobe Bryant has an old problem with his personality, which was exploited by Duncan, that is, once his teammates don't give strength and can't fight, No. 24 will definitely not choose to pass. Even if a teammate is empty, he won't pass it.

It's either that he doesn't have that ability, or he simply doesn't have that meaning, and in his eyes, there is only a basket.

"Kobe Bryant's shot ~ missed~ Are the Lakers ready to cry and leave the AT&T Center arena?" The Spurs' on-site commentator said, which made a lot of responses and laughter from the scene.

It's away from home, it's not surprising at all, it's strange if there's no such thing.

"Keep an eye on the 29th! He's in! When Parker on the outside saw it, he immediately reminded, but it was still too late, Tang Qian took advantage of the three people of the Spurs to cover Kobe Bryant's shot, took advantage of the weakness, and caught the ball in one hand. This is another special skill of Kobe Bryant, called "Helping Board". This was originally a term invented by sunspots, but later the NBA really appeared statistics in this area.

According to statistics, the league's "assist rate" is 25%, Kobe Bryant's is 33%, and when this attack is within the middle range, Kobe's assist probability skyrockets to 52%!! What does this mean??? It means that the Lakers have a good chance of another 24-second offensive or direct 2-point offensive opportunity!! And 34% of these "auxiliary boards" have become scores!!

Dig a little deeper, and 15 percent of them will immediately translate into direct dunks or baskets, which is far beyond the league.

Do you think this data is "black"? In fact, on the contrary, the stronger the offensive ability and the more able to attract defensive players, the more capable of helping the board! For example, a record that everyone doesn't know very well, from 1996 to 2017, who has averaged the most assists per game in the past 20 years? It's not Kobe Bryant, it's the famous Michael. Jordan, averaging 3.3 per game.

But Jordan's assist rate is still not as good as Kobe's.

This is because the Black Mamba is the kind of person who plays extremely unreasonable.

And the more this happens, the easier it is for the opponent's defensive formation to be torn apart and attracted, resulting in an interior player's defensive emptiness.

But the premise is that you have to have enough personal ability, otherwise the ghost will not bother to pay attention to you.

So "helping the board" is not a shameful thing at all, look at these people, they are all recognized as the king of attack in the alliance. Don't you even pay attention to God Qiao? He's the king of assists per game. Kobe Bryant is the king of assists per game.

If it is really the first quartile and the second quartile are also in the same vein.

Tang Qian was trying to shoot directly like the previous one, at this time, Duncan's role was reflected, he used his experience and the sense of defensive position and space under the basket that was naturally a head above others, and at the moment when Tang Qian wanted to shoot, he suddenly stood in front of the Lakers No. 29. This made Tang Qian have to stop attacking directly, and lost a good opportunity to take advantage of Kobe Bryant's missed shot and "help the board score".

"In this case, one time is enough, don't think about coming again in a row." Duncan saw that Tang Qian did not succeed in making up the basket, and quickly stepped closer, which was to defend the second attack under the basket of No. 29.

This ball is passed? Kobe Bryant has just landed, and he is still in the crowd, and he can't run out of position for a while, and pass it to the rest of the people?

Just their mentality and spirit now? So, there is no choice, you have to come yourself.

And if he wants to score under Duncan's defense, the only thing Tang Qian can rely on now is a hard attack under the basket.

With his own physical hardware and physical fitness, he forced down Duncan Sr.'s defense and scored a goal.

Duncan also seemed to see what Tang Qian meant, and he immediately said while defending:

"Hey~Come on~Hot~Beat me~The future is yours~"
