Chapter 516: The Strongest Basket Protection Performance in the Forbidden Area (Part II)
At 44-22, the Lakers trailed by 22 points. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
With this super lead, both the audience in the stadium and the audience in front of the TV feel that the Lakers are gone.
Can't win.
I can't make the playoffs either.
Only the eyes of No. 24 and No. 29 still flashed with a strong desire to fight.
"WOW~ Carmelo should be singles, a beautiful block cut out, and then it should be one-on-one!" New York Knicks commentator "Mouth" Mike. Brin said: "How much do you think Ci Shiping is likely to defend against Carmelo?" Walter? Another on-site commentary of the Knicks team is the famous Knicks star, Tang Qian's "old acquaintance" Walter. Fraser. Fraser said, "Less than 20 percent. Because this season, Ci Shiping's defensive skills are obviously not as good as before, his hands and feet are getting sluggish and slow, although his strength is still good, but it is unrealistic to defend Carmelo who is in excellent form this season. ”
"That's right, for the slow-moving Ci Shiping, Carmelo can make full use of his steps and breakthroughs! Come on, C.A., show off! "Mike. Brin's commentary style should also be unique in the NBA, generally speaking, if the Knicks don't have a live game, he will go to ESPN to make a cameo appearance. In addition to the Lakers' already deceased Loftus-Cheek. Hearn, he's probably one of the NBA's best commentators right now.
"ah~ha~ Let's take a look at Carmelo's three-point threat, it's really standard and textbook-like, tentative step, ha~, Ci Shiping has been shaken by the center of gravity~ Smooth and incomparably smooth, one-on-one Ci Shiping is no longer the Artest of the year!"
That's right, Ci Shiping is not only inferior to the "Artest version" at his peak, but even because of his excessive weight, he was shaken down after a "click", and then he didn't get up for a long time. Pick-and-roll cuts, commonly known as pick-and-roll clearance, are the use of big men to come out to block and dismantle, and then call up the opponent's inside line, so that the ball carrier can have enough space to go one-on-one.
Otherwise, once you rush into the interior line and have a big man to supplement the defense, then even Jordan will hit a decline.
Blocking and dismantling cut out in this Knicks team, the main role is to turn the tiger away from the mountain and empty the opponent's inside, after all, Anthony's singles ability this season has reached the peak of his career. Woodson did this, which can be regarded as "teaching students according to their aptitude" and "adapting measures to local conditions". At least his approach in Atlanta, which he almost didn't use in New York.
Poor Tzu Shiping, a former defensive titan of the generation, won the best defensive player in his prime, and before Leonard, he was the only outside DPOY for 15 years. With the critical eyes of that era, Ci Shiping could win this award, which shows his cruelty. How brutal is it? Hey, to name a spoofing statistic, he was able to suppress his opponent's average points per game below 8.1 points that year! Yes, you read that right, you didn't look at the flowers, it's either 18.1 points, or 8.1 points! The first round of the playoffs that year made Paul. Pierce had the worst playoff stats of his career, with 20.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 6.3 turnovers! The hit rate is even more miserable, 34.2%! Therefore, it is absolutely indisputable to say that Ci Shiping was the strongest outside defensive player under the handchec rule at his peak. Payton and Jordan are inferior to him in this aspect, and their strong physical confrontation defense is really suitable for Ci Shiping at his peak! Veteran fans who watched the 03-04 season must have been impressed, this guy is simply a nightmare for any outside attacker! Why didn't he get this award later? Because the league revised the defensive rules for the next season and banned handchec, Ci Shiping or Artest's strongest defensive weapon has been greatly limited, and the strongest defensive monster on the outside can only stay in the memories of fans forever.
It's a pity that the years are urging people to get old, and now Ci Shiping has long since withdrawn from the ranks of the defensive gate, but has faintly become a "defensive loophole", which can not help but make people sigh.
Don't look at the fact that Anthony easily tore apart the other party in a single Ci Shiping now, but a few people know that in the 03-04 season, that is, the year Ci Shiping won the DPOY, "Xiao Mengxin" Anthony met the latter for the first time in his career, what data did he play? Hey, hey, 1 of 13 shots, one of the lowest shooting percentages of his career, 7.7%, only got 2 points and 1 steal, and the rest of the data is all zero! You must know that Anthony was a person who averaged 21+ points per game that year, not like a rookie at all, but Ci Shiping taught him a vivid lesson. made him understand for the first time that on the professional basketball court, there are men who are so strong in defense, and there are such perverted beasts in defense!
Artest? Ci Shiping? Mehta. Walter. Pease? You're too old to pose any threat to me anymore!
It's up to me to dunk the ball!
Just as Anthony was about to wash the basket, a big yellow palm flew out of the air and said, "Have you forgotten?" I'm not allowed to fly here! ”
Smack~ Tang Qian blocked Anthony's dunk with a slap, clean and neat, and couldn't find fault at all!
"Oh~No~ Carmelo's dunk was blocked by the Lakers No. 29 who came over, although I am a die-hard supporter of the Knicks, I have to admit that the block of this Eastern center is very crisp and clean, and I can't blame anything!" Mike. After Brynn finished speaking, he said, "Walter, what do you think of him?" "Walter. Fraser frowned and said, "Well, I don't know why, I don't seem to like his feelings, although this cap is indeed clean and beautiful." ”
"I don't like him either, I hope in the next round, Carmelo can get back on the field~" Mike. Bollinger Road.
Gasol received an assist from Kobe Bryant and scored a strong attack inside, 44-24, and still trailed the opponent by 20 points.
Here the Lakers asked for a timeout because the team's small forward, Ci Shiping, fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
Gary. Viti ran over and looked at it, shook his head and said, "Get on the stretcher, Mehta, you should have an ankle ligament injury, let's go back to the locker room and check it out in detail." Although Ci Shiping's expression was painful, there seemed to be some relief in his tone: "I know, Gary, take me away." ”
"What don't you want to say to your teammates?" Gary. Witti Road.
Ci Shiping shook his head, because he also knew that his degradation was extremely obvious, and compared to the opening stage of this season, he was incomparable. Physical reserves, he is the first of the Lakers' five starters to run out.
So in his recent games, the defensive end is "stealth", and there is no sense of presence at all.
You must know that he is a No. 3 player who is famous for his defense, and now he can't contribute on the defensive end, even if he can still score a little goal on the offensive end, so what's the point? Camero. Anthony's passing ball hurt Ci Shiping's self-esteem even more, don't look at his usual giggling, as if he has no heart and lungs, but for the glory of the court, he still has it.
Suddenly, Ci Shiping had the idea of retiring.
Although he is actually not that old, only a little more than half a year older than Gasol, but degradation is degradation, not everyone is Kobe, James is Jordan. There are many basketball players who degenerate as soon as they turn 30, and Ci Shiping is just one of them.
In the end, he didn't say anything, just took a white towel to cover his face, and then was carried into the player tunnel by the Lakers' medical team.
The Lakers have replaced veteran Antoine. Jamison, the game continues.
It seems that Jamison's firepower is much stronger than Ci Shiping's, but the Lakers lineup on the court now has no shortage of offensive points. So it was replaced by Antoine. After Jamison, in fact, the problem of defense is becoming more and more magnified and serious. Ci Shiping can still fight hand-to-hand, but what about Jamison? He is three and a half years older than Ci Shiping, and he has long lost the energy to defend.
Because everyone knows that compared to the offensive end, the defensive end is the first big aspect of a player to decline.
Besides, Jamison wasn't a good defender when he was younger, so he got older and didn't have much energy.
That's for the better of Mike. In D'Antoni's eyes, the urgency is Mike. D'Antoni's heart.
But what else could he do now? The Lakers don't have anyone to use on the outside, and Jamison still has a height advantage. If Morris, Meeks and the like are replaced, the defensive lineup on the outside will only be even thinner.
"It's okay, Carmelo, just get the next ball back." Jason. Kidd is known as "Ji Ye", and he is full of old fritters, so he quickly calmed Anthony's angry heart and said, "I'll pass the ball to you." As soon as Anthony heard Kidd say this, he immediately nodded, no matter what, Kidd's status in the rivers and lakes is there, the league's No. 1 point guard before Nash and the 5-time NBA assist king, poached from the Mavericks to improve the team's backcourt stability and tactical literacy. Jason. Kidd has always done a good job, he's not the same as Nash, he's the kind of guy who is extremely calm, it's hard to get emotional, calm, simple and practical, and he plays in his No. 1 style. Although the passing is not as coquettish and gorgeous as Nash, it is also unique, coupled with his defense, he is much stronger than Nash, and the best defensive lineup many times is the best proof.
In the next ball, Kidd borrowed the block and broke into the Lakers' three-point line, if it was Nash, he would definitely continue to go deeper, directly holding the ball and breaking into the Lakers' interior to disrupt the game. But Jason. Kidd is different, the purpose of his passing is not to assist directly, or even directly to the passer, his "quasi-assist" ability is so strong that you can't imagine it. Otherwise, can you bring the Nets' lineup to the Finals twice? Don't look at his statistics are not so eye-catching, but he can always sort out the team's offense extremely smoothly, and those who have watched the Nets in those years know that without Kidd, the Nets may not be able to enter the playoffs, let alone any consecutive finals.
Jason passes the ball to Pablo Steve. Novak, is Novak going to shoot a three-pointer, he attracts Gasol to pounce, oh~, no, he passes, and the basketball passes to Carmelo who runs in the air. Anthony! "Mike. Brin's commentary is the embodiment of Kidd's organizational ability, his tandem and combing ability, is really terrible, as if when he is on the field, the original ordinary player with passing skills, suddenly enlightened, passing assist ability, "poo" soared.
"Nice air cut! Nice run! Anthony just shook off the defender, and he was about to rush inside to shoot! ”
is still a bit stupid straight up and down dunk, Tang Qian really thinks that in the outside quasi-superstar, Carmelo. Anthony's interior attack is the easiest to defend against. is worthy of being the No. 3 hat king in the NBA league, and with his internal offensive IQ, it is really difficult for others to compete with him for the first place. Kaleidoscope of attacks outside the box, two hundred and five attacks inside the box, this is Carmelo. Anthony, the enigmatic New York man.
"You want to score like that, too?" After Tang Qian saw Anthony's offensive method, he was a little speechless and said: "God~ I'm sorry for my own eyes if I don't cover you~" After speaking, Tang Qian stretched out his left hand and slapped it towards Anthony's "straight up and straight down dunk", and slapped it vigorously. Even if Tang Qian didn't open a golden ability card for this kind of ball, it would be blocked with 7~8 percent, not to mention the blessing of the golden cap card?
"Number 29 has sealed Carmelo! Carmelo threw himself and grabbed the rebound, and then continued to shoot under the basket! "Mike. As soon as Brin finished speaking, there was another "pop" sound, which came into everyone's ears.
I don't know if it's true that Anthony has a "hat frontcourt rebounding halo", after being covered 2 times in a row, he actually got another magical frontcourt rebound!
"Ahh With a loud roar, Anthony "went straight up and down", his physical fitness was never considered the top in the NBA, and his bounce was good in high school, but after being injured once in college, he lost his ability to fly high, not to mention the speed of the bullet that was not excellent in the first place. So this kind of basket forced shot, and was once again blocked by Tang Qian's big hot pot.
With three blocks in a row, Anthony suddenly became angry, and he angrily screamed at the referee: "He fouled!" Didn't you see that he fouled? "The referee of this game is the famous "Iron Mask Brother" Ken. Moore, he's been in the NBA for 26 seasons, what superstar hasn't been seen? To put it mildly, he has experienced the era of "black and white hegemony", and he has blown up the top ten in history without blinking his eyes, you Carmelo. What is Anthony?
Beep~
Before the Lakers could advance to the frontcourt, they heard a whistle blow. Moore whistled.
Look at his gesture is...... New York No. 7, technical foul!
Lakers Kobe Bryant stepped forward to make a free throw, brushed, and scored a free throw, and because the ball was in the hands of the Lakers, he continued to serve the ball in the front court.
After the absence of Nash, the Lakers' offensive system has indeed stagnated, including Tang Qian, whose offensive ability has been greatly reduced in an instant, which is completely different from the threat of Nash on the court. Blake made a three-point shot, when ~, the shot hit the iron, Kobe Bryant passed the ball very well, but unfortunately he was not able to throw it in.
This made Kobe's patience, which was already scarce, scarce and scarce.
The New Yorkers protected the rebounds, even if it was Tang Qian, it was impossible to grab every frontcourt rebound, after all, reality is not a game, and as I said before, the frontcourt rebounds are more difficult than the backcourt rebounds to grab the board, how much more than 3~4 times? At the end of the day, rebounding is much more beneficial to the defender.
"Jason, give me the ball!" As soon as he reached the Lakers' 3-point line, he raised his hand to the fairway. Kidd saw that the defender in front of Anthony was replaced by the older and weaker Jamison, so he didn't hesitate to stuff the basketball in his hand.
Just as Anthony was about to pull out his hand with a three-threat tentative step, the Lakers' interior suddenly shouted: "Antoine, you let him in." Jamison was stunned when he heard this, but before he could answer, Carmelo Anthony was furious and yelled: "Oriental! You're so arrogant! Do you really think that if you cover a few of me, you can eat me? ”
Tang Qian did not show weakness, and deliberately mocked: "As long as you dare to come over and one-on-one with me, I will dare to eat you!" Of course, if you're scared of me, then forget it, and I'll be able to understand that. "What? You damn Oriental skunk!! Anthony has never been the kind of person with a particularly calm head, so he immediately gave up the plan to pull out, and with a cat body, he broke through from Jamison's side and went straight to the Lakers' interior line.
Seeing this, Gasol wanted to help defend and wanted to delay it, but he heard the Lakers No. 29 behind him say: "Paul, let this guy in, I'm in just right shape tonight." Gasol wanted to continue to make up for the defense, but because of his good relationship with Tang Qian, he still chose to respect the latter, of course...... It's just a ball.
If Tang Qian's defense fails, he will continue to assist and make up for the defense.
Hearing that the 29th was so rampant, Anthony was annoyed and rushed in to force a confrontation.
"Yoo~ You've learned to be a little more obedient, don't dunk?" Tang Qian said, "But in this way, it's still useless." ”
Syllable~
Another hat, and Anthony almost fell to the ground!
The Lakers fast-break, or Kobe, after changing direction, forced the inside, and then shot the basket to score.
Brush~
The basketball rolled into the opponent's basket and gave the New York team an extra foul inside.
There is a chance to hit three points.
Tang Qian walked to the front court to scramble for free throw rebounds, and when he and Anthony passed by, he suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Don't look at me with this kind of eye, I don't mean anything to you, if you don't feel good, welcome to come again." ”
But, damn it!! Damn it!!!
Anthony remembered the scene of the last fight, and he didn't want to be deflated several times in a row!
Brush~
Bryant added a free throw, plus the previous technical foul free throw, 28-44, narrowing the deficit to 16 points.
"Jason, pass~" As soon as half time passed, Anthony opened his hand again to ask for the fairway, he should have been off the court a long time ago, but because of continuous deflated, Anthony refused Woodson's exit order. Mike. Woodson's face was a little unpleasant, but he also knew that Anthony didn't see himself coming, and he would not be too confident in facing any famous star without a championship trophy.
"Camero, I think this ball is still ......" Before Kidd could finish speaking, Anthony interrupted loudly: "Give me the ball!" I'm going to single him! Don't you believe in my strength? Hearing Anthony say this, Kidd can't persuade anything, anyway, he has already won the NBA championship with the Mavericks, and his career can be regarded as complete. As for these last few years, it is purely to enjoy the fun of playing, earn more dollars, learn more about the skills and tactics of different teams, so that I can plan to become a head coach after retirement.
Anthony held the ball again and broke through Jamison, which was not a problem at all, but the problem was Tang Qian's side......
The on-site commentators at Madison Square Garden were a little nervous, and they both said: "Carmelo held the ball on the top again, he passed Jamieson, and in front of him except for the Lakers' basket, only the Eastern No. 29 remained." Gasol didn't come over to help defend, this is another one-on-one offensive and defensive duel. ”
"Carmelo can make ......" Before he could finish the word, a big hat sounded throughout the garden in Madison.
Anthony was blocked for the fifth or sixth time, by a single section.
And the saddest thing is that the person who blocked him is just one person.
"Hey, didn't I just say that?" Tang Qian lowered his head and said, "It's time for you to practice more physically, your fat is a bit too much." ”
PS: There is another chapter, oh, Xiao Zi is talking about it~
