Chapter 1203 - 5 Consecutive Wins!
In the second quarter of the first half of the game, the score difference narrowed to 12 points by relying on Tang Qian's consecutive scores, and then the Pistons' hand finally returned to normal in the second half, and it was not as hot as imagined all night. In that case, the Lakers are welcome. First, it is necessary to strongly block the Pistons' scoring points that are still good, such as Reggie. Jackson, let the opponent's firepower drop further. Second, the overall defense of both flanks, the single delay in the middle + Tang Qian's basket can be used. Third, strengthen the frontcourt rebounding rush, because the pace of the Pistons' game is not fast, 2~3 people can retreat and delay, Detroit is not a firepower team, the faster you play, the more mistakes will follow. The offensive strategy arranged for the first Tang Qian to continue to attack, Zhuang Shen's defense was useless, and if he wanted to block Tang Qian, his biggest tonnage advantage also turned into nothingness. In addition, tonight, I don't know why the Pistons No. 0 seems to have fallen into a "slow half-beat" rhythm since the second quarter, and I don't know what he is thinking when he talks to himself from time to time and frowns. This made it easier for Tang Qian to attack.
Where did Tang Qian know, it was because of his few casual points that Zhuang Shen, a "rebounding idiot", became obsessed, and all his thoughts were on pondering rebounding, which made his defensive and offensive concentration decline invisibly.
This is so angry that Van Gundy is going to curse on the sidelines, but this can't shake Andre. Drummond's "rebounding man" heart.
Then after the Pistons began to vigorously help defend Tang Qian, the Lakers immediately scattered their lineups, waiting for the ball to shoot.
Coupled with a couple of pick-and-roll transitions on the strong and weak sides, the Lakers quickly changed the game in the second half.
The suffocating defense in the third quarter made the Pistons almost score 10 points, while the Lakers scored a rare 30 points in the quarter.
All of a sudden, the Lakers were more than a dozen points ahead of the Pistons. The strength and weakness of the momentum are reversed in an instant.
The Lakers' defense is getting more and more for Larry. Brown was satisfied, and the overall tacit kneading speed was also fast. Of course, he also saw that this was because there was the No. 29 as the defensive core, so it saved a lot of effort for the team. This increase in speed is naturally much faster than under normal circumstances. Otherwise, it will take much longer to reach this level.
In the end, the Lakers actually led by 15 points to end the game, from trailing by 22 points to leading by 15 points, there are 37 points inside and out, which shows that the current Lakers team is much more resilient than last season. Tough battles and vicious battles are the "whetstones" that strong teams need. Why does Kerr want a smooth ride for the Warriors? It's because if you want to go further, a smooth ride won't work.
You have to sharpen it.
Any strong team is like this, to grind out the team's team spirit, that is the best.
This team soul is not in the illusory sense, specifically it is the most obvious and intuitive feeling that the team gives to the outside world.
You can also say the label.
For example, when you mention the Lakers team in the 80s, you will inevitably sound "", and when you mention the teams that have played inside and outside in recent years, you will quickly find the name of the "Lakers dynasty" and "combination" in the early 21st century. For example, when it comes to the Kings at the beginning of the 21st century, it is "Princeton". Another example is the Pistons in '04, you will instantly associate it with "suffocation defense". This is a manifestation of the spirit of the team, forming something that people can feel at once.
Now this Lakers team is forming this thing, making everyone intuitively emerge when they mention this team.
The Lakers lead the list of teams in defensive efficiency this season, and that's just the first step. Now that Brown has taken over the team, his ambitions don't stop there. Otherwise, there is no need for him to come to the Lakers, and there is no need for him to go out of the mountains.
He has been short of money at all for so many years, and besides, he is so old, what's the use of asking for so much money?
What he has to do is to build a team that is famous while he can still move.
In that way, he felt that his life was not in vain, and he had no regrets.
In fact, don't talk about him, how many of these elderly handsomes are still struggling because of money? The "Zen master" went to New York to fulfill his "godfather president dream", otherwise, wouldn't it be better for him to find a strong team as a coach? Riley so, Phil. So with Jackson, so with "Cardinal" Auerbach, so with Larry. The same goes for Brown.
As you get older, your pursuit becomes clearer and purer.
The Lakers, it's Larry. Brown thought he would eventually coach an NBA team, so he poured all his heart and soul into it. The faster the Lakers grow, the happier and happier he becomes.
After winning this game, the Los Angeles Lakers' team record improved to 15-6, and the team won four in a row.
After playing the Pistons, the Lakers continued their back-to-back road trips to the East against the Toronto Raptors.
Before the evening game, the Lakers' Tang Qian snatched Curry's Western Conference Weekly Championship, and Curry's 35+4+5+2 data was not snatched. The two of them are obviously a bit of a fight between the best of the week and the best of the month now, and it is difficult for the rest of them to get involved. Eastern Conference Weekly Awards, which was given to Reggie of the Pistons. Jackson, who averaged 27+3+9+2 per game last week, shot 56.9% from the field and 52.9% from three-point range, and the team only lost to the Lakers last week, so it is not a big problem for him to take away this honor.
After the best of the week was released, because of the time difference, the Warriors finished the game first, Curry scored 24 points in a quarter, 15 points in 2 minutes, and forced punch in the 3rd quarter, and a wave of 40 points helped the team end the battle. Everyone can see in this game that Curry is playing a little hot, if it weren't for the Hornets being too vegetable, they went directly into "garbage time", and it is estimated that Curry's score will soar to at least 50+ or more tonight. In addition to the nickname of Ku Ritian, the nickname of Jesus of three points also began to circulate, and many American fans were exclaiming that they had just gone to a small toilet, but as soon as they came back, Curry went from 12 points to 40 points.
Curry has also achieved a historical record, and at present, it is only in his early 20 games, and he has already made more than 100+ three-pointers in the season, which is a little unbelievable. This, is there really anyone who can shoot a three-point shot like this?
2 minutes 15 minutes, 3 minutes and 24 minutes, I went to ...... No kidding.
It's terrifying to explode in a short period of time.
What Tang Qian didn't know was that Curry in this original time and space had actually done it, and according to his obviously better state this season, this was actually a "so-so" answer. The Warriors' No. 30 should be better.
If you look at the old man Joe, the big boss of the Hornets in the original time and the current space, on the sidelines, you will know how terrifying the Warriors 30 is tonight. Seriously, the combination of "Splash Brothers" really made Tang Qian put away his "prejudice" against the definition of "pure shooter" for the first time.
There is a saying that is very true, anything, to the extreme, is extremely strong.
Pure shooters, naturally, the same.
The previous ones were not prominent, and the upper limit was not high, Tang Qian naturally looked like he had the limitations of the times. Now with the emergence of Curry and Thompson, it can only be said that it is ...... The previous one didn't.
It's just that the ability is not so prominent.
This opponent can no longer be underestimated!
Tang Qian even felt that this kind of team was one of his most difficult opponents in the future.
In the game against the Raptors in the evening, Tang Qian didn't want to fall behind, and the Lakers made a strong defensive control at the beginning. How powerful? Let the Raptors' star Demar. DeRozan shot 0-of-7 in the first quarter. Jean Kyle. Lowry made 1 of 7 shots in the first quarter. The Toronto Raptors only scored 8 points in the first quarter! This hit the head coach of the Raptors, Dwayne. Casey felt the difference.
What's the difference? The Lakers in front of you are different.
Compared to the beginning of the season, it has been strengthened a lot.
This is due to the improvement of the team's chemistry and team chemistry.
The Raptors were unprepared and were hit by the Lakers at the beginning, and if they couldn't slow down, the game would be a rout. Enter the "garbage time" of falling behind by a big score early. The head coach of the Raptors certainly made a change, and he wanted to make a breakaway shot, but now there's a question as to which of them can easily break in. Lowry? DeRozan? If you go in, the effect of connecting the whole team will be greatly reduced because of the lack of vision. The Lakers seem to know that the Raptors will change their lineup like this, and they have long been ready, and if the opponent blocks and kills, they will quickly close the circle and cut off the latter's passing lane.
If this move is against the strong No. 1 position, it is estimated that it will be passed as a dog, but unfortunately, the Raptors do not have this kind of person.
Both of them are aggressive, and this aspect is also offensive and driven, and now that they are attacking so iron, it is more difficult to lead the whole team. The Lakers' lineup change defense made them feel like they were plunging headlong into their pockets, except for a lot of arm swings, and they were all in the dark. Mistakes began to increase, and the Lakers played steadily again, pursuing a success rate, and the score gap was quickly widened.
The bench lineup looks like an opportunity, but the Raptors' bench lineup isn't strong, except for Scola and Corey. The rest of Joseph is unknown. There are no dark horses or anything like that. The Lakers' bench lineup has all pressed them. That is, Scola also cheated a few free throws with his own footsteps, and the rest of the tactics couldn't be played, and the single attack was not enough. Casey's head is getting bigger. The Raptors are now 13-9 and look like they are still at the top of the East, but they are not safe, and the competition for the top four positions is still much more fierce than the bottom four, and the record is much closer.
The Raptors now have 2 All-Star players in the team, and they have been running in for so long, and the results are required.
Management can't wait forever.
But the gap between the lineup and the team's hard power is too big, and by the time the main players come on the court one after another, the Lakers have a lead of as many as 17 points. Dwayne. Casey had another wave of struggles to make, and he started letting DeRozan go singles. This is also the last way to open the situation. The universal method. But if you do it well, you can turn things around.
DeRozan only made 2 shots, and then found that his mid-range shot was gone, because the Lakers completely stuck his mid-range shot. In Larry. Brown's defensive system is the most rigorous for shooting. The Pistons in '04 are a reference, the shooters basically can't shoot them, the performance is very poor, if you want to blow them up and break through the defense, only the breakthrough type of players is better.
Ginobili, Wade, James, are all typical.
DeRozan also thought of breaking through, but his breakthrough was not particularly strong, and Butler's defense made him uncomfortable enough, so he finally got in, and there was a No. 29 waiting for him under the basket. DeRozan made 3 breakthrough shots, none of them could get in, 2 were missed, and Tang Qian was hit by a big hot pot.
There is no way, seeing that the game is about to end, the head coach of the Raptors can only choose to speed up and speed up to see if he can find the Lakers' vacancy. The Raptors also tightened up on the defensive end, especially a few sudden joint defenses, which made the Lakers' breakthrough ball go to no avail. The outside three-pointer missed, and Lowry of the Raptors seized the opportunity and lost one, brushing ~, and the Torontonian people hit a big outside shot instead.
This time Larry. Brown immediately let the team give up the open cut and break, pull away from all sides, clear the low post, and then let Rondo pass in to No. 29 for No. 29's individual attack. This kind of ball doesn't seem to have much technical content, but if you can't hold it, it's just good. Don't talk about him, when Duncan of the Spurs was still at his peak, when he couldn't open at a critical moment, didn't Popovich also say: Give the ball to Duncan.
Compared with the error tolerance rate of complex tactics, star singles are actually sometimes simpler and more concise.
If tactical balls are "conspiracy", then star singles are "yang conspiracy", you know that people will attack, but you just can't stop people, right? Because the Raptors wanted to speed up, the starting center was replaced by Bismarck. Biyombo. Biyombo is only 206CM tall, and his arm span is perverted, which is just right to keep up with the team's speed-up rhythm.
However, this player is also a player who eats form, and when the state comes, he may be brave, and if he is not in form, he will not be particularly brilliant and outstanding. Tang Qian didn't hesitate at all to deal with this kind of short inside line that was only 255 pounds, and he would dig when he caught the ball, because the opponent was shorter and lighter, so he would move faster than the real big inside, so ...... It's better to fight for speed than for strength.
Since Tang Qian mastered the method of body flow and back, he feels that it is much easier to deal with the competition now, and there are more competition modes to choose and switch. For example, when dealing with a defensive type with a short arm like Biyombo, choosing a basket is not as time-saving and labor-saving as a back-to-back attack. Power and tonnage alone can help him easily gain the absolute upper hand.
Believe me, Biyombo defended with his heart, but his body was like a boat that could be overturned by the wind and waves at any time, whether it was offensive or defensive, he was not dominant. Tang Qian is a one-on-one hard eater on the inside, and he has no good way to think of it. Maybe his mind has been imagining it all the time, but he just can't think of it.
The oriental center in front of him is too big and too powerful, how do you say to block it?
Biyombo was knocked unconscious for a while, and the No. 29 kept scoring and scoring in his head, and he didn't have the slightest ability to stop his opponent. It's so cruel, your defensive skills are useless now, as long as Tang Qian's state is passable, there is no crisis in physical fitness, and it is really not a problem for him to play a short interior line alone.
Biyombo was blinded, and he even felt that he was not defending now, but "tickling" his opponent.
This way of playing, he is still the first time to encounter it, and he can't help but think of old fans who say that the Lakers No. 29 is like a young version of the "big shark". Now it seems that there is some truth to it.
After brushing ~ Tang Qian pushed out of the space, he hit the shot, and there was no interference at all.
The three-point shooting on the opposite side began to increase, which means that the Raptors began to bet on three-point shooting, and the offensive and defensive strength of the Lakers made this pseudo-strong team see ...... Feelings of hopelessness. So you can only gamble a little.
"Jingle Bell" ~ With the continuous iron, the game began to lose suspense.
Not long after entering the fourth quarter, the margin widened to 20 points, and the Raptors decided to give up. They were originally a pseudo-strong team, and they have always been criticized for resisting pressure, but now it is just a regular season, and Raptors head coach De believes that there is no need to go all out. Tang Qian scored, and the score difference continued to grow.
At the end of the game, the Raptors scored only 74 points, and DeRozan and another All-Star, Kyle. Lowry was a mess tonight, shooting less than 3 percent, and they were very responsible for losing.
After this game, everyone began to continue to praise Tang Qian, and even the opponent Biyongbo couldn't help but say: "That Dongfang center, he is a monster, and no one can defend it alone." I've done my best tonight. ”
Tang said in his heart, what you say, do you count as pulling hatred for me?
But winning is the most important thing, with 16 wins and 6 losses, and the Lakers are now on a five-game winning streak.
At this point, the Lakers also ended their streak of Eastern road games.
But people's concerns soon came to the next game, and the national live broadcast was also arranged, and this game was ......
PS: I've been going home very late late, because I have to do the work of the third quarter, alas, Xiaozi won't owe money, please rest assured everyone~Let's make an appointment tomorrow~
