On May 6, U.S. time, the third game between the Lakers and the Clippers began, and this is the home of the Clippers, but it is still the Staples Center. It's just a change of floor. There has been no substantial change.

In this series, there is little physical exertion for the players on both sides to use on the road, so both sides are working hard to take out each other and advance to the Western Conference Finals.

Celestial Empire Sports Station.

"Viewers, welcome to turn on your TV and watch the third game of the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Los Angeles Clippers Western Conference semifinals series, after the two teams played to a 1-1 draw." Yu Jia said and asked: "Yangyi, the Lakers have not played very well in these games, and they don't have the heartiness of playing the Rockets before, what do you think is the problem?" "I think it's a problem, a lot." He pushed his glasses and said: "First of all, you look at this place, the Lakers' interior scoring data and interior defense data in the two rounds of games, compared to the Rockets, is it a big drop?" ”

"Well, that's true."

This shows that Tang Qian's two games with the Clippers have fallen into a low ebb. In the first of these two games, 19 points, 17 rebounds, 4 blocks, and 1 assist, the second game was 15 points, 14 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 1 assist. If this data is estimated to be someone else, they will be happy to death, but he is Tang Qian, so this data is not qualified. The Lakers still need him to contribute more, otherwise, they will not be able to play a 31-game winning streak this season, and it is impossible to achieve an excellent record of second in the league and second in the West without a period of time for the main players. Yang Yi paused for a moment and said slowly: "Anyway, in this game, Tang Qian's performance is very crucial, if he can perform better, the Lakers will have a better chance of winning." ”

"As for Jeremy Lin's point, there is no way to do this, there is really no way, either people don't play hard, or their strength is not as good as Chris. Paul, that's right. The last game also proved that too many blocking and dismantling made the Lakers themselves play very chaotic, and the positioning formation was a mess. So what Jeremy Lin can do tonight is also a question. ”

"Do you think the Lakers have a better chance of winning this game? Brimming? Yu Jia asked.

"It's hard to say." Yang Yi dragged his voice in his Beijing accent again: "The role of Paul of the Clippers is too big in this series, and he single-handedly suppressed the head of the Lakers' entire system, which is really something that no one expected before the game." ”

"Well, the game is about to start, and hopefully the Lakers will have good luck tonight."

"Look at the starters of tonight from both sides, the Clippers are still Paul + Redick + Barnes + Jordan Jr. + Riffin's lineup, what about the Lakers, in turn, Tang Qian + Bosh + Ariza + Butler + Jeremy Lin ......"

Los Angeles, Staples Center.

"Hot, you were lucky in the last game, this game, in our home stadium, there is absolutely no such situation." Paul spoke ruthlessly to Tang Qian at the beginning, and Tang Qian retorted unceremoniously: "When is Staples your home field?" Look up, why do you want to cover the championship flag in that place, don't you have a little pressure in your heart? Staples, forever with the Lakers. ”

The scrum Tang Qian still won easily, and the Lakers wanted to push a wave as usual and score first, but Jeremy Lin was directly blocked by one person, and this person was Chris. Paul. When Paul saw Jeremy Lin, he used "trash talk" to interfere: "You think it's my opponent? The gap between you and me is like that of an adult and a schoolboy. You can't get past me. ”

Jeremy Lin hesitated, because he knew that the other party was not lying, and he was indeed very sad about him.

And the ability is, there is also a full gap.

Paul's "trash talk" worked, and Jeremy Lin's hesitation made the first wave of offensive opportunities fleeting, and the Lakers fell into a stoppage situation at the beginning. T broadcast host Charles. In Barkley's words, this does not bode well. This means that Jeremy Lin still has no way to face Paul.

Indeed, the Lakers' offensive continuity was lost, and a couple of pointless passes were made, and then the outside line forced a shot against the defense. Butler didn't score this goal, J.J. Redick has a good defensive attitude and a flexible brain, otherwise he wouldn't have invented the "Backhand King Defensive Harden Method" in the original plane. This ball Butler should have hit inside, and it wasn't a good thing to shoot from the outside at the beginning. His three-point shooting ability is not very good, and this season, it is not the time for him to really make his three-point shot, so he is iron.

The ball bounced far and was a long rebound, and the Clippers gave Paul a quick push when they got it.

Paul's ball is a typical direct run bomb, because he now knows too well the fate of letting the Lakers fall into the 29th position, the shock under the basket is too strong, why is Tang Qian's defensive data very "sluggish" in the last game? Isn't it that he doesn't slow down at all, and sometimes he would even rather not have a chance to fight quickly than wait for Tang to come over and settle down? Besides, the Clippers have him, they can't mess around, and no matter how fast they are, they have one in control, which is the benefit of the Super 1 position.

The rhythm of the whole team, he can control it alone, so that even if he is crazy, he has a degree to adjust.

At this point, Jeremy Lin is too far behind, and his success this season is more due to the addition of D'Antoni's system. His own strength can't actually reach this level. The sixth man is his best choice. Playing the starter seems to be a bit high or low. Somewhat awkward and ordinary.

You look at this round of the series, and I met Chris who has been in the super No. 1 position for many years. Paul, even if he has the blessing of the D'Antoni system, it is not easy to do it. On the contrary, it was because he controlled the entire Lakers system, which caused the team to fall into a situation of "rhythm discontinuity" and "rhythm chaos". The Clippers didn't score the first shot, but Barnes, who was following behind, added the goal. Barnes's attitude has always been known for being positive, which is also his magic weapon for gaining a foothold in the league, positivity is better than not being positive, you look at this ball, if Barnes didn't choose to go fast, if he didn't choose Paul's first or even second shot point to be passive and slacken, this ball, he didn't have a chance to score at all.

The Clippers started the game.

Clippers fans were also delighted, giving the home team players a cheer.

"See? Hot, you won the last game, it's just luck. Paul staggered with Tang Qian when he retreated, and immediately seized the opportunity to squirt. The Lakers attacked, Jeremy Lin actually made a direct mistake, and Paul grabbed another 2 points by a single fast down. Jeremy Lin looked very frustrated, he actually felt that the gap between him and Paul was too much, resulting in no way for him to play his strength normally.

"Lin, dribble well, don't rush, reducing mistakes is the key." Tang Qian, as the boss, naturally wanted to comfort his teammates at this time, Jeremy Lin nodded and said, "Well, do you want to play more for the inside?" Who knew that Tang Qian did not express his affirmation as before, but opened his mouth and said, "You can give more to Chris depending on the situation." With that, he went to the front.

Well? What does that mean? To Chris? What about him?

The opening game was actually the momentum of the Clippers, they played very quickly under Paul's leadership, and all in all, they used every opportunity to play the situation where the opponent was not firmly on the foot, and the defense did not have time to settle down. Even if the chances are not very good, you have to fight. This strategy was jointly discussed by Paul and Clippers head coach Doc Rivers, in fact, a large number of such offenses, the rhythm is easy to mess up, and it is easy to play out of order, but it is because of Paul that this strategy can be tried. Until now, it has been a great success.

Quite simply, the faster you play, the more you have to grab this kind of quick opportunity if you don't have a chance, and you are prone to mistakes.

If there are many mistakes, no matter how strong the team is, they will kneel, but ...... They have the stable god Paul here, a god-like vacancy to control personal mistakes, so they dare to play like this. Not to mention anything else, Paul's control of individual turnovers has reached a very perverted situation, you look at the same point guard with a lot of ball, 3.9 turnovers in Magic's career, and the highest is almost 5. Nash averaged almost three turnovers per game in his career, with a peak of four and a playoff time when he was close to five. As strong as Stockton, he has averaged more than 4+ turnovers per game in the playoffs. Curry is the only one who has less than 2.5 career turnovers, and the playoffs are not good except for the previous years, but 12 years later, he has completely entered the realm of Dacheng, and there are often only 1+ turnovers per game. Come on, this is the playoffs, and these big bulls can't do it. You, a person with a lot of balls, can be so low, do you have a machine controlling your brain?

That's why Rivers dared to set such a team series play style that was almost "quick to grab and fight".

Of course, he was also worried at first, but it turned out that the effect of doing so was wonderful, and it had the effect of stabbing the throat.

The Lakers' strongest interior defense has been greatly diluted and weakened invisibly.

At this time, when the offense can't be opened and the system can't be rolled out, D'Antoni knows the benefits of having a perfect defensive system, they can at least settle in an orderly manner, delay the opponent's attack as much as possible, and wait for Tang Qian to have enough time to come back.

But what's the point of thinking about it now? It's impossible to change it all of a sudden.

You can only fight hard.

"Hot, why don't you attack, isn't this your character, are you scared?" Little Jordan also began to provoke, because there are really not many opportunities like this, and he still remembers how he was beaten by this man in the last 2 games of the regular season. But he is not the kind of person who will bow his head, he just wants to find it back, and he can also give Tang Qian a dismount.

He didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon, and he felt a burst of blood boiling.

Even he felt in excellent shape tonight and would not be afraid of the attack of the Oriental man on the other side.

Anyway, if he has a much lower hit rate, that's no problem. He has this self-confidence. The first two games also proved this.

I D'Antony. Jordan's defense may not be as good as yours, but it's not in vain, if you want to beat me, you have to pay the price!

If this were a normal situation, Tang Qian might have asked for the ball, but after analyzing the pros and cons with Kobe Bryant in the video room last time, he didn't say much, just stuck the position and didn't want the ball. Seeing that the Lakers' No. 29 was not fooled, Jordan Jr. wanted to continue, but before he could say anything, he saw a Lakers player come in, and he immediately prepared to move over to help defend, but ...... a muffled "bang", he was "nailed" in place by the whole person.

This is...... Low cover? This guy!

That's right, Tang Qian began to increase the diversity of his playing style in this game, Kobe Bryant was right, as the core, the ultimate goal is to lead the team to win, as long as you can win, you can make all kinds of changes and sacrifices. Why is Duncan of the Spurs so old and still in the role of "Optimus Prime" in the team? Why does he make the Spurs' offense more fluid as soon as he's on the court? The reason is that when his personal ability declined, he immediately changed and used other ways to help the team and lead the team to victory.

Now the Lakers have made it clear that the No. 1 position can't do it, and it is still a big deal at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, so he doesn't seek change, and the team is really not as good as the opponent. It's change one, tonight, his change, more than that.

The Clippers are still playing fast, but there is a problem with playing like this, the opponent is not on a stable footing, and you are the same, the shooting percentage will be somewhat unstable. The Lakers' side is not a vegetarian on the single defense, judging it, there is no problem in interfering with a few. Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to solve the problem on the offensive end, and the essence of basketball is to score goals.

"Hot, come on, I'll wait for you." Little Jordan deliberately seduced him, but Tang Qian was not fooled, and he also saw that the former had a strong sense of revenge against himself in this round of the series, and this mentality made his competitive state obviously much more than normal. In this case, if you play hard, the situation will not be better than the first two games. And on the 24th, I was right, my current physical fitness, there is a big drawback, if both sides have a high power output, the result is faster power consumption, and at the same time, both sides are unstable, losing sesame seeds and watermelon.

This ball, he's going to make a change.

Only now can he make such a big change, Tang Qian still ignored Little Jordan, just kept moving in the low post, looking for opportunities to cover his teammates to score under the basket, and suddenly, it really made the Lakers' offense a lot more alive. At least the movement of the players and the movement of the ball have become a little more fluid. But this alone is not enough, the Lakers want to catch up with the score difference, and they are still close.

So what else should be done?

Tang Qian immediately gave the answer.

He definitely doesn't want to be the kind of king who can only fix the system by himself and the rest of the people have to cooperate with him, but to be offensive and defensible, ahh

In this way, when you can't open it, the team won't be able to open it at all.

Only then will they not waste their teammates and make the team completely become a "one-man show team" that relies on themselves.

In this ball, Kobe Bryant sat in his company's president's office, looking up from time to time while working, and he also wanted to know if his words that day had a little effect, or whether it had become useless nonsense at all.

Oriental perm, now, let me see what you will do.

Kobe Bryant looked up at the HDTV and whispered to himself.
