The Rockets have a very strange statistic this season, that is, the team's defensive mid-range shooting is very strong, so that the opponent only has a shooting rate of more than 3 percent, but not to mention that there are very few shooting styles in the NBA now, they are all small-ball trends. A lot of teams would rather concede a three-point shot than shoot a two-pointer. Besides, even if they run into slow-paced teams like the Lakers, Bulls, and Grizzlies, they won't have a good time. Because of this Rockets' interior defense, it's so bad! The inside line hits opponents up to 66%! Yes, it's the overall team hit rate! That's frighteningly high. It is equivalent to any guard who can face the Houston Rockets to play a center-level interior basket finishing percentage out. This is where Howard has been attacked the most this season, except for a few blocks that occasionally shine, and the overall defensive system bonus is already useless.

As for three-point shooting, their defense is also very poor, allowing opponents to shoot as much as 36% of 3-pointers per game, which is a lot higher than the mid-range shot. For this Lakers team, the mid-range shot, that is, Bosh plays a little more, and the rest of the mid-range is not very good. It doesn't hurt to lower it.

When the inside line is so easy to play, who will still hit the shot?

Everybody kill it inside.

Damn, these little kings and eight calves are addicted to playing by themselves again, and Tang Qian didn't shoot much in the first quarter.

This is the "injury" of the big man in the center, you can't attack from the outside with the ball by yourself, you have to rely on the outside pass, otherwise, it's such an embarrassing situation. Few balls have ever touched their hands. Now, I know why Zhang Lili always said on TV before, "Give Yao Ming, give Yao Ming, give Yao Ming", "Don't give this ball, alas, it's a blind fight." What a great opportunity. "I know why the biggest slogan in the domestic basketball world in those years was "pass the ball to Yao Ming".

When Tang Qian got off the court, he looked at these teammates and said: If you don't give me a few balls to play with in the second quarter, I will make you look good.

When it's time to practice, I'm going to make your goals as bad as constipation!

Others said that it was a joke, but Tang Qian said it differently, he really had the ability to do it. Butler was deeply touched during that time, he and Tang Qian "had conflicts", and as a result, Tang Qian was hard defended every time, so that he wanted to score a goal inside in a training game as if he "won the lottery". This guy's basket is no joke.

Tang Qian continued to deliberately "threaten": You can attack and open the hand first, but you won't give me a vote if you open it, ask yourself, are you worthy of your conscience by doing this? Won't your conscience hurt??? Yes???

Well, whether it is really accepting Tang Qian's "threat" or a gag on the surface, everyone has expressed their stance during the break anyway, and wait for Tang Qian to play more balls, so that he can also have a cool time on the inside of the Rockets. Nick. Yang said that the inside line of the Rockets tonight is really easy to play, and the goal is very smooth, which is similar to eating a banana.

The Lakers led by 15 points in the first quarter, and the head coach of the Rockets actually used the main force to play the Lakers' bench in a misplaced position, and Howard ate Thackeray a few times in this situation, even if he replaced Yi Jianlian or Randle, it was useless. Howard is indeed not as powerful as he was back then, and he has lost weight again this offseason, and last season's strength advantage is no longer prominent. However, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and he can still fight against the substitute at the moment.

Not to the point of being worthless, that's too exaggerated. With Gordon drawing a few, the Rockets didn't get to 20 points in the first quarter. But it turns out that this is just a lingering breath, even if they have two average 10+ points per game on the bench, Thorton + Terrence. Jones, too. The Lakers' defensive bench lineup is tough, and the frequency of physical confrontation is high, which makes both sides have low shooting percentages and get into more tough battles. Entering the battle, the advantage of the player's singles comes out, Pierce + last year's sixth man, Nick. Yang is a good player, so he has to take advantage of it.

Larry. Brown's configuration on the bench lineup is high-intensity defense + singles-based. Yang + Pierce is enough to guarantee, plus some simple small cooperation, and the score of the bench lineup can be considered OK. This is capricious in defense, and it is good to play defense. If the Lakers team last year couldn't score, it would be a big problem.

Besides, most of the substitute lineups are to buy time for the main lineup, and if you can do this, you are excellent.

If you always want to beat the opponent with a substitute lineup, play the sword and go off the rails, there are times when you are successful, but there are definitely times when you are unlucky. Larry. Brown is very clear about this problem, so he is also clear about the arrangement of the bench lineup.

When the main force comes up, Rockets head coach Bickerstaff still has to play 1-2-2 joint defense, but the Lakers don't play so many tricks with you this time, just play the inside. Tang Qian didn't have much toughness, and he got a lot of direct opportunities to attack the basket by covering the movement of air cuts, so that his score went up all of a sudden. Sure enough, it is one of the worst teams in the league this season, and the joint defense has been used, but it is actually still a showcase, and it can be broken at the touch of a button.

It's no wonder that this team's offensive firepower is okay, but the record so far in the season has been a mess, this defense.

Mortally wounded.

It is said that now is the era of small ball, and the emphasis is on offense. However, if you really look at the strong teams during this period, how many of them are not very strong in attack and equally effective in defense? Not to mention the Warriors, a team that integrates offense and defense, offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency are among the top three levels in the league, and they are absolutely awesome. The original space-time Rockets and the Warriors hit a tie-break, relying purely on offense? Wrong, wrong, wrong. That year, the Rockets were also in the top three teams in the playoffs in offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency. At one point, their offensive efficiency was even higher than that of the Warriors.

So, do you really think that the era of small ball is "offense buys votes, offense wins"?

In fact, it's still "offense buys votes, defense wins". Because their defense is among the strongest teams in the league that season.

A team like the Rockets who have conceded more points than they scored this season will have a hard time surviving in the regular season.

It's normal to have a poor record. The Rockets didn't adjust at this time, they just blocked the Lakers' inside line, but the inside line couldn't prevent it, Tang Qian scored 10 points in one go, and passed a few out, but the outside line also blossomed continuously because it was really a big vacancy. The game went into 20 minutes of garbage time. At this time, Harden still stood up, after all, he is the first percentile in the league this season, a strongman with an average score of 29+ per game, continuous scoring, continuous shooting, plus 2 personal steals, helping the Rockets pull the score difference back to 11 points. The Lakers called a timeout, Tang Qian and Harden glanced at each other, and a confrontational mood heated up sharply.

Although this is a "war" provoked by a woman, when it comes to this part, it can't be fought without fighting.

Tang Qian also smiled, turned around and walked away, this smile was naturally not a smile like Mu Chenfeng, but mostly ridicule and ridicule.

Meaning, do you really think you can do it?

Harden also held his breath, how to say defeating the opponent and enjoying Kardashian's "big meal" at night is still very tempting for him now. That big ass, uh, okay, don't go off-topic, just know it, Harden feels itchy to think about it.

As the old saying goes, under heavy desire, no, it is "under heavy reward", there must be brave men.

Harden was stimulated by Kardashian's "heavy reward", but his performance began to catch the eye tonight.

Alas, Kardashian? I said, Brother Deng, you are not afraid of poisoning under you.

Convincing.

The Lakers played a high-position block and dismantle when they returned to the court, and after Tang Qian and Rondo blocked and dismantled, Rondo and Tang Qian cut in both directions, which made the head coach of the Houston Rockets Bickerstaff very happy, and he just said loudly below that he would continue to strengthen the team's joint defense. And the opponent is not doing this to make his own arrangement just right. But before he was happy for more than 2 seconds, the basketball was passed out by Rondo, it turned out that he and Tang Qian blocked and dismantled the inside cut together under the guise of this ball, which was to make the Houston Rockets become an interior joint defensive formation, and then pass out the blind spot in the bottom corner to let it shoot three-pointers.

Bosh made a three-point shot and brushed ~ hit ~~~

The Lakers' lead is again at 14 points.

Rockets head coach Bickerstaff arranged a wing interspersed play, but it was too blunt, which was the biggest problem with the change of coach in the middle of the game. Without a full pre-match training camp, just using the gap between games to practice, the schedule of BA games is too dense, almost every other day, and even back-to-back, at this time you have to consider the fitness of the whole team even if you want to practice. If you fool around, the Lakers' "Santa Barbara Devil's Drill" will be the end.

No matter how resistant the star is, he will be injured.

As soon as Harden saw that it couldn't work, he immediately turned to go it alone, he made a rhythm change, stopped with broken steps, and raised his hand to make three points. James. Harden's three-point shooting has begun to increase significantly this season, and the maximum number of shots used to be 6+ has directly broken through to 8+ at the beginning of this season. However, the shooting percentage has slipped to a new low in recent years. 3 into 5 points, which is the lowest season since 3 into 4 in the 10-11 season. It can be seen that there is no system at all to let him play randomly, which also has a great impact on the hit rate.

Coupled with Butler's defense, there was still a pounce to interfere, and the ball didn't hit. However, the ball bounced far away and was picked up by Beverley, the most active of the Rockets, Beverley protected the ball, Harden asked for the ball, and continued to give it to No. 13 James. Harden. Harden didn't have a good three-point shot tonight, so he no longer chose outside projection and instead wanted to break through alone. But the person who defended him was not a weak chicken, it was Jimmy who defended continuously. Butler. Coupled with the fact that Butler had a greater tonnage than him, his tonnage power advantage was suppressed.

What Harden is good at is rhythm breakthrough and not fast speed breakthrough, his first step and explosiveness are not particularly top-notch, so rhythm + power is his breakthrough magic weapon. But this is not very good for playing Butler, a defensive master, in terms of pace and rhythm, Butler is a defensive strength. In the past, Harden was powerful, his tonnage of 220 pounds, and with his height enough to be a small truck among guards, there is no doubt that heavy guards. Unfortunately, Butler's tonnage is larger, more than a little, more than 10 pounds, and in this case, Harden's power advantage is not much advantageous.

So what to do? Three-point hand is not good, continue to gamble? Still is...... Want to hit a shot?

No, it's neither, although Harden's mid-to-long-range recovery this season has reached 4 percent, which is far better than last season's 3 to 3, but he trusts his breakthrough move more. "Porcelain is invincible". No, Harden is here, looking at the position of the players in the halfcourt, and then starting to break through. Butler still defended quickly and had a lot of confrontation, but the moment the two collided, Harden immediately inserted his arm under Butler's arm.

This time, it's up to our defensive master Jimmy. Butler's face has changed!

Come on, it's been the 15-16 season, and now in the entire league, who doesn't know the name of Harden's "Porcelain King".

His "starting style" is clearly to "touch porcelain".

And unlike Durant's "big loop" that was banned, he made a breakthrough shot, and the rules all made sense, and he couldn't ban it if he wanted to. It can only be contained after the scale of the playoffs is raised, and in the regular season, it is very difficult and difficult.

Butler is a master of defense on the outside, and of course he has studied Harden's offensive methods, so this kind of ball, he feels bad when he sees it, but it's too late to get out, after all, there are still very few people like Harden who can "use the rules". Everyone still wants to save face. He couldn't do that kind of thing himself.

Butler couldn't help but shout "Damn" in his mouth, which shows how depressed he is now.

Harden, as a master, knew that the ball was in place at a glance, and immediately prepared to raise his body, and then made a "Chang'e to the moon" pose, and matched his facial expressions, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle. Actually, do you think the referee doesn't know that Harden "deliberately touched porcelain" with this kind of ball? No, of course not, it's just that it's a matter of the rules, so you can't blow it.

In the regular season, this is still the penalty scale.

Just as the baseline referee was about to blow the whistle, Harden's ball suddenly stopped in the air, and it turned out to be a big hand who had been waiting for a long time, and took it down in the air, a very beautiful big hat. The basketball flew several meters away, and Rondo had the most sensitive sense of smell for this kind of ball, and rushed towards it like a sharp arrow. Well, you can also understand that when he picks up this ball, he can add a defensive rebounding stat, which is why he is so aggressive. Anyway, it turned out that Rondo got the ball and went down quickly with the ball.

Beverley chased the ball desperately, but Rondo was experienced and not only relied on his super reach to score the goal, but also earned a penalty. His heart is really beautiful, beautiful.

A chance to rebound +2+1, what could be more enjoyable than this.

Rondo has been by Tang Qian's side for a long time, and he has also figured out a special way to brush the rebound.

Just pick up the floor ball that is covered by the number 29, because the NBA rule is to make a rebound when you make a shot.

If you cover the bottom line directly, then there is no way, it is called a throw-in.

Well, so "Coach Lang" still has a flexible brain, which is called tacit understanding to maximize the value of his own court.

Brush data? No, it's a blatant rebound.

Harden complained to the referee with a dissatisfied face: Wasn't it a foul just now? Why not whistle?

The referee didn't explain, but he had the answer in his heart, the ball just now was indeed a foul, and it was successful according to the rules, but the Lakers' No. 29 assistant defense cap is too beautiful, and the wonderful action can be appropriately relaxed. So, he doesn't blow, and no one will say anything more. This is the well-known "unspoken rule of the alliance".

It's very important to be ornamental.

It's a pity that Rondo didn't score this free throw, the Lakers led by 16 points, and the Rockets wanted to play a three-point game and look for an opportunity to narrow the score by shooting from a distance, but it was still similar to the problem just now. In this way, there is no backhand, and the offensive time is consumed so much, Harden once again chooses to come by himself.

Now with the Rockets, Howard basically can't get the ball, James. Harden is the real boss of the team that everyone knows.

This ball, in fact, Howard actively points to block and dismantle, there is still a chance, but "Warcraft" is unwilling.

Although he has woken up a little bit from the dream of "low-post big killer", he still gives it to Harden when he goes out to block and dismantle, so forget it. This bend plane didn't turn around in 2018. Not to mention now.

This ball Harden is "touching porcelain breakthrough" again, Butler is cautious, but what is called "touching porcelain king", that is, if you are careful, people can still find opportunities, this is called the realm of Dacheng. Otherwise, what is it called "Porcelain King"?

Do you really think this kind of awesome nickname is "given for nothing".

The first "porcelain king" in the history of the NBA is definitely not a vain existence.

I want to "big dinner" tonight Wow. That's what Harden is saying. With this in mind......

Beep~ Sure enough, it was successful, this is the regular season and Houston's home stadium, and the referee has no way not to blow the whistle.

Butler was frustrated when the ball was whistled for a foul, but he didn't complain to the referee, because it was obvious that the opponent did it on purpose. Complaining, too, doesn't help. Harden walked past Butler with some pride, as if to show off how deep his "porcelain touching skills" were. This guy is also a man who has used "rule efficiency" to the extreme.

The first in history, "Touching the Porcelain King" is also the first in history.

Don't keep saying that there is no historical supergiant born now, at least there is Curry, the first marksman in history, and Harden, the first "porcelain king" in history. The two of them are the first in history, and the former fans can't enjoy it.

So, be content.

When Harden was at the free throw line, Tang Qian patted Butler on the shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged Jimmy, wait a minute, don't be so defensive, just block his change of direction." I'll take care of the rest. ”

This season, I'm even more difficult to "touch" than before.

Unbelief? Try it.
