Chapter 530: Warrior (II)
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers were in huge trouble, and the team's shooting percentage began to drop sharply. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The physical burden makes a group of veterans who mainly attack more than enough but not enough.
Paul played well in the first three quarters. Gasol also failed to score 2 times in a row, which made people sigh.
Fortunately, the Warriors also felt average after the opening game, and after 2 minutes passed, only Harrison was the first to start. Barnes scored a 3-pointer and smashed the basket on his next few shots. Tang Qian almost swept the Lakers' backcourt rebounds, and he made the Warriors, who were weak inside, pay a lot of price. But after all, the Lakers are fifteen points behind, and if it drags on, it will definitely be good for the opponent and bad for themselves.
So someone is going to start "the spirit beyond the body."
No. 24 of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant. After Bryant got the ball, he almost gave up his outside shot, and went to the Warriors' interior with his head pierced, brainless. And his counterpart, Clay. Thompson has just been promoted to the starting force this season, and his defense is far worse than a few years later, so the possibility of Kobe Bryant really going to be ruthless and pass the opponent is very high.
But the impact of outside players on the inside line is originally a very physical job, which can be seen from Jordan to Wade. Qiao Shen also broke through the flying stream in the early stage, and after his comeback, he chose to change his style of play and became a "shooting floor stream". At least compared to his 20s, it's not a way to play at all. Wade is more regretful, when he was young, he was known as "Jordan who was short 5CM", and his performance in 06 was shocking, and even many people thought that he was the same as Kobe Bryant that year. Bryant is on par. You must know that that season, the Black Mamba was in a state of "scoring maniac", which can be compared with him, which has already shown how exaggerated Wade was that year. It's a pity that this style of play hurts the body too much. So as soon as the age of 30 is over, it declines sharply, and I can no longer see the unsolvable power of my youth.
This point of James remains to be verified, although he is a break-through outside player, but he is also an "intermittent shooter", as long as the state is up, he is stronger than Wade's range and accuracy. And his body is much more ferocious than Wade, so it's a special case for the time being, and it's inconvenient to join the discussion. But among the outside players, except for Zhan Huang, there seems to be no one who can maintain a breakthrough-based style of play after the age of 30, and of course Kobe Bryant can't either.
Looking at Kobe Bryant's shooting hot zone, the distribution of shooting numbers has been more and more extrapolated in recent years, with an average shot distance of about 15 feet. The percentage of shots under the basket has never been higher than 20% in recent years. Last year it was around 13 percent, and the previous year it was 15 percent. This shows that in order to protect the health of the body, Kobe Bryant gradually reduced the breakthrough of the forbidden area. This coincides with Qiao Shen's trajectory, but unfortunately this season, the situation has changed. The proportion of his inside shots has broken through more than 20% again, reaching 21%, which is no less than the two consecutive championship periods. When is it really higher than this proportion? That was the time of the '07-08 season, which used to be over 24 percent.
What is this concept? In addition to the perverted play style of James, an "outside center", the rest of the young players such as Durant and Irving are the probability of the 21% floating interior shot. Chris. Paul, Clay. Thompson is even about 14 percent. And they are much younger than Kobe, so playing like this, although the success rate and lethality will increase, but the burden on the body is really too great.
Young outside star players only have this ratio, and they are not even as good as Kobe, who is about to be 35 years old, and the risk of doing so is especially high. But now the Lakers do need to score, and it's a solid score, so Kobe Bryant can't help but do it.
Because free throws are the easiest way to score, and they are also the way to score with the highest shooting percentage.
Going a little bigger, it can give the whole team a chance to stop the ball and breathe, and slow down their physical fitness.
Sure enough, the effect was good, and through Kobe's 2 consecutive breaks, the Lakers steadily recovered 4 points.
90-79 with 11 points remaining.
But the Warriors are in hot form now, how can it be fake? Stephen. Curry turned his head and made a three-pointer, "brushed", and stabbed into Staples' basket. 93-79, the score difference is back to 14 points in the blink of an eye.
The 3-point shot is indeed a sharp weapon for cutting points, it can get a 2-point shot in one round and a half rounds, and its effect on morale is even higher than that of a basketball dunk.
It's a perfect way to suppress the momentum of the opposition team.
Let you have no hope of chasing points, you can't see it.
Damn it!
Tang Qian secretly shouted in his heart, but he didn't have a good way to stop the Warriors from shooting three-pointers, even if they save, it would be difficult, unless they used an ability card. However, through the first few games, Tang Qian has completely understood a truth, that is, the ability card is not omnipotent, as long as the opponent plays well, he can still destroy himself and the Lakers.
Besides, if you pounce out and block and cover the opponent, if the opponent transfers the ball and lets another person make a three-point shot, Tang Qian can only sigh and sigh. It is impossible for him to fly over and block everyone's shots on the Warriors like Superman, and besides, once he goes out, the rebounds on the inside are completely unsafe, and it is too risky to rely on Gasol, who is now on the verge of running out of fitness.
In case the block is not successful, and the protection of the rebound ball is lost, the morale of the Lakers team may disintegrate in an instant.
Therefore, Tang Qian was also very anxious, but he didn't have a perfect way to come up with it.
Kobe Bryant broke through again and fought the opponent, the referee was very face-saving and continued to blow the penalty, of course, this ball Warriors' Klay. Thompson did have a defensive foul. He and David of the Supplement. Lee is suspected of committing a foul, but according to the general penalty criteria, the referee will only award one person for an assault foul.
David. Lee survived.
Brush~
Hit two free throws again, Kobe Bryant shook off the sweat on his head, didn't stop for a second, and turned around to defend.
At 93-81, the Lakers still trailed by 12 points.
This ball Harrison. Barnes couldn't get in and Don couldn't hold down Festus. Aizeli, easily protected the defensive rebound. Pass the ball to Steve. Blake, Blake just after halftime, handed over again, and the Lakers continued to execute the individual singles by the No. 24.
Clay. Thompson's defense is very serious, but after all, he is still a second-year rookie, and he has just been promoted to the main force this season, and he wants to defend Kobe Bryant, who is still at the tail of his peak. Bryant, that's a dream. And Kobe Bryant also came up with the treacherous and cunning of an "old ball skin", deliberately switching the rhythm and taking the initiative to communicate with Klay. Thompson creates physical contact.
Now Clay. Thompson is not the future "Buddha", and the "league coffee position" is much smaller than Kobe, and this is the Staples Center, the home court of the Lakers, and it is extremely normal for the referees to not take care of him. So even though Clay. Thompson yelled innocent and looked wronged, but the referee still gave him a defensive foul.
Bryant hit two more free throws.
93-83, only 10 points remaining.
But the Warriors won't let the Lakers succeed so easily, and Curry made a 3-pointer and shot into the Lakers' net again. Fortunately, in the slow-motion replay, his left foot stepped on the line slightly, so it was only a 2-pointer, which made Staples fans breathe a sigh of relief.
95-83γ
The Lakers are still Kobe, he took the ball and entered the singles mode, a virtual emergency stop + virtual rhythm change of direction, and suddenly surpassed Klay. Thompson was most of his body and went into the Warriors' restricted area. This ball is so angry that Clay. Thompson couldn't do it, he was very annoyed by being broken through continuously, so he tried to chase back, trying to chase the former.
Bryant glanced at it, deliberately slowed down a beat, and then jumped into the air, waiting for the opponent to "catch".
Clay. Thompson was still a little tender, and his body quickly hit No. 24's body, causing No. 24 to lose his balance in mid-air.
That's exactly what Kobe Bryant wanted, he forced his waist to stretch his belly, shot before he landed, played the basketball board, and entered the Warriors' net. And at the same time, the referee's whistle also sounded.
Bryant got the opportunity to play 2+1.
But a heart-wrenching scene happened, when Kobe Bryant landed, one was unstable, and Huo Ran fell to the ground.
Look at the place he covered with his hand, it seemed to be the knee of his right leg.
If this kind of ball is usually full of energy and normal muscles, it is difficult for professional players to be twisted, because protecting their bodies is also one of the compulsory courses in the career of professional players. Bryant. Bryant is a leader in this aspect, since he entered the league, he has carefully maintained his body as a limited edition Lamborghini, because he also understands in his heart that the original physical talent between him and the Chicago No. 23 is huge, and if it is not well protected, it will definitely be weak in the later stage, and the follow-up will be weak. Therefore, although Kobe Bryant often "can't get out of the line of fire with minor injuries", he is absolutely the top in the league in terms of physical maintenance afterwards.
Wade also talked about this during the 08 Olympic training camp, and Kobe Bryant's self-care and self-maintenance before and after the game amazed him. Therefore, don't look at the "game" No. 24 is very reluctant to his body, but before and after the game, he is very caring and cherishing.
So this kind of landing action, Kobe Bryant is habitually protective, but tonight, it was planted.
Why? This is Gary. Victi and Judy. Seto said, muscle strength is a problem. Strength is the basis for performing a series of protective actions, if the strength is sufficient and the strength is normal, then even if this kind of ball Kobe Bryant lands more than a dozen times, there will be no problem at all. But the lack of strength will lead to incomplete and non-standard protective actions, and the moment Kobe Bryant's ball landed, the strength of his legs was relaxed, so if he was slightly weak, his knee was slightly bruised and he couldn't fall to the ground.
Just when the Lakers were in a mess, No. 24 actually forced himself to get up, and then moved his knee slightly to signal to the referee that he was okay and the game continued. Seeing this, seeing No. 24, whose pace was a little lame, Tang Qian's brain was suddenly opened, because of a memory that he was extremely unwilling to remember, Huo Ran clearly presented.
April 12, 2013 U.S. time, this, isn't this April 13, China time, isn't this ......
Bryant. Was Bryant the fight with a ruptured Achilles tendon???
Damn it!!! Why did you forget about this!!
He shouldn't have been allowed to play again today!!
The reason why Tang Qian missed this key information is that the Lakers are worried about internal and external troubles this season, and the internal and external pressure is too great, which makes people distracted. The second is that this period is the last moment for the Lakers to storm the door to the playoffs, and the whole team is in a tense atmosphere of preparation, making it difficult to think about anything else. The third is the difference between American time and Chinese time, in Tang Qian's impression, that game has always been April 13th, so he is a little careless about April 12th.
Taken together, Tang Qian suddenly realized that he had just woken up from a dream.
At the moment when Kobe Bryant was about to execute the free throw, Tang Qian actually snatched the ball, and then made a pause gesture.
The whole audience was overwhelmed, the whole team was overwhelmed.
Everyone doesn't understand, what is the 29th doing?
However, the time-out has been put in effect and both sides must be rested.
Next to Mike. D'Antoni asked Tang Qian: "Hot, what's the matter with you?" Why waste a pause? A timeout in the fourth quarter is a valuable resource, and sometimes it can even be a game-turner, so you have to give me a reasonable explanation! The whole Lakers team also looked at Tang Qian in confusion, wondering what he wanted to do.
And Tang Qian's answer was a little unexpected, saying: "Mr. D'Antoni, you must replace Bryant, you must replace him!" βwοΌwhatοΌ Mike. D'Antoni was stunned for a moment and said, "Why?" Is there something wrong with Kobe? Tang Qian hadn't answered yet, and on the 24th, he shook his head first and said, "No, sir, I can continue to fight." β
"Hit? It's a fart, a hit! Tang Qian was so emotional about No. 24 for the first time and said, "If you continue to fight...... You're going to die! Do you understand? Tang Qian almost blurted out the "taboo word", but fortunately, at the critical moment, he held back and changed to a statement that would not be exposed. When Kobe Bryant heard this, he frowned and said, "Hot, are you exaggerating?" I've been playing basketball for decades, and I've played thousands of games since I was a kid, if not 10,000, what kind of game will kill people? Don't talk nonsense! It's easy to shake the morale of the team! β
But Tang Qian still said to himself: "If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, how do you know if there will be a problem tonight?" I, I think you're a little hurt just now! Tang Qian was in a hurry, so he could only find this "bad excuse", but No. 24 didn't listen to it at all, just frowned impatiently and said: "It's just a little bit of a knee hit, it's not a big problem, hot, you've been performing very well, why are you talking nonsense at such a critical time?" Focus! Killing Golden State talent is the key, get it? β
"I, I still think it......" Tang Qian didn't know what to say, he couldn't just say it, you had torn your Achilles tendon in this game, right? If this is said, it is not allowed, and once it comes true, I am afraid that I will be arrested by the FBI the next day and tortured for scientific experiments.
Seeing the other party's expression, Kobe Bryant said directly: "Don't think too much about useless things!" Concentrate your energy and focus on the field! Got it? Everyone is the same! Now that we are lagging behind, we must not hesitate or relax at all!! β
