Chapter 1549 Semifinals, Houston Rockets (Plus Plus Arrived~Ask for Subscription~~~)

Lakers, Lakers are not easy to play, I have to think about it, Rockets head coach Mike. D'Anthony Road.

Because he also has a special affection for the Lakers, after all, it was there that he got his first championship ring. But in the same way, this makes him a little depressed...... Because this championship ring was not obtained with his guiding ideology and coaching system. So he desperately wants to use his own way, his own coaching system, to get a Larry. O'Brien Cup.

The Lakers faced the Rockets, but the pre-game work was much better than the previous one, and in the face of the Trail Blazers, the Lakers still somewhat indifferent. But Team Rocket, it's different. The Rockets beat the Lakers this season. Moreover, the Lakers still have 2 games, which are more difficult to win, and even one game is still won by relying on a stunner. This team cannot be underestimated.

The West Side is not as good as the East Zone, and it can be played so easily and casually. If you are not careful, Qiang Hao will also be pulled off the horse.

The more you go to the back, the more so, unlike the Eastern District in recent years, some people joke that you just need to watch the East Final. It's only the East Decisive that can be a bit of a highlight. For the rest, forget it.

Larry. Brown's arrangement this time is much better, first of all, the Rockets' offense is very sharp, and even the three-point shot explodes, which can be called invincible. The league's favorite team to shoot three-pointers, two guns in the backcourt, a light bulb combination, quite powerful. Coupled with the substantial improvement on the defensive end and the release of the infinite change of defensive lineup, this Deshuai system, which was originally the most defenseless, has suddenly added defense. Naturally, the power is greatly increased. The shortcomings have been filled. The barrel is greatly raised.

This season's defense has improved from 18th in the league last year to 5th in the league this season, and in the playoffs, it has improved to 4th place, behind the Lakers, Warriors, and Spurs. Larry. Brown wrote with a tactical pen above:

There are a lot of shooters, and they all have a large range of baskets, which can be pulled to a position of 8 meters or even 9 meters to shoot three-pointers, and the shooting is very decisive and does not hesitate at all. Given the opportunity, any point will be shot. Three-point firepower, first in the league, first in history. The Warriors are not as good as that. Therefore, the three-point attack wave must be resisted, as long as the opponent is played, the first thing you have to do is to carry it hard, and only then will there be a back. Otherwise, Team Rocket will be taken away in waves. There are too many games like this in the regular season this season.

Although it is one large and four small, it is also very large, the position is very far, it is not easy to pull out and quickly retract, and the flexibility of the defensive lineup is greatly tested. Don't try to prevent each other from dying, it's hard.

In addition, with Harden and Paul in the singles point, combined with their almost perfect misplaced cover singles this season, the lethality is strong.

Not to mention Harden's own terrible ability to make fouls.

After talking about some of the good things about the Rockets, Larry. Brown was quick to talk about the shortcomings and cheer up the Lakers. The first one to write is a bit hilarious. They are fourth in the league, they are not consistent enough, they are far worse than us. There was some laughter in the Lakers' locker room, and the atmosphere was a little lighter. See here, Larry. Brown continued:

The ball-handler is not strong enough, although Harden and Paul are very strong in holding the ball, but except for them, the rest of the people have almost no ability to attack with the ball. Anderson, the shooter, is very threatening if he throws to the pitch, but if he doesn't have a touch, he is equivalent to becoming a soul on the field, and he is not very useful. Their No. 4 position is not powerful, it is a flaw.

And then they have a problem this season, although they have practiced infinite rotation, but unlike us, their infinite rotation is to make sure that there is a person in front of the attacking player, that's all. This kind of infinite change of defense, I call it the bankruptcy version of infinite change of defense, is completely a younger brother compared to our infinite change of defense system. Larry. Brown is really down-to-earth, and when he is old, he can say anything, and he can speak smoothly.

He also ignored the reaction of the rest of the locker room, and once again wrote:

Although they don't have many attackers with the ball, they are quite elite, Harden, Paul, and Gordon on the bench are all ball-handling attackers. But there is also a problem, that is, when they attack with the ball, they put too much emphasis on the opening of space, so it seems that the offensive end has improved a lot, but the defensive end will produce a lot of drawbacks. For example, if you stand too far open, the distance and speed of the defense will also increase and lengthen, and it is not the best of both worlds like the Warriors. This is a problem for them, and when we play with them, we can appropriately increase our own defensive counterattacks out. It's not really good for them to retreat. This is a trade-off and sacrifice made for the sake of the attack side.

It can be utilized.

Finally, there is the interior line, their interior line is a Capela that can be relied on, and Capela is indeed good, which is a very good defensive space interior line in this era. The speed is relatively fast, the co-defense is better, and the single defense is also hard. But it's a pity...... Larry. Brown said: We have tyrants on the team, so this point is a black hole point, and we have to play more.

Yes, don't blame Capela, just blame Tang Qian for being too strong, in this era, playing any inside line is an absolute advantage. Especially the inner line of the space, it is even more accurate.

The main pressure of their infinite change of defense is concentrated on the periphery, if it does not shrink, we will decisively hit the inside line, hot, no problem, right?

Tang Qian nodded: "Of course it's not a problem, this kind of team interior configuration, even if it is an ordinary contraction, I have the confidence to blow them up." ”

For this, the rest of the Lakers really didn't think that No. 29 was bragging, because No. 29 is indeed so powerful, and everyone saw it in the last round against the Trail Blazers. That lethality is really not covered, in one word, strong.

However, this is all a basic confrontation and analysis of advantages and disadvantages, which is generally the case, but the playoff competition is more about on-the-spot play and on-the-spot command, so no matter how good it is said now, it may not be perfect. Even many times, the head of the locker room is written as a word, and as soon as you enter the real game, it becomes a mess of porridge. This situation is all too common. The Lakers played straight ahead last time, and we're thinking about the next round, and we're not following in Maddy's footsteps. This round, so is hope.

Don't be happy and sad.

The Rockets are a very good and offensive outside home team, and we want everyone to focus on the game......

The Lakers are a defense-oriented team, but they are also not to be underestimated in terms of offensive power, we ......

After the managers on both sides made the basic pre-match set-up, the players from both sides began to enter the tunnel and then prepared to enter.

Since Tang Qian joined the Lakers, he has faced the Rockets in a total of 2 series, once in 2014 and once in 2015. Coincidentally, all were victorious. It's just that at that time, the opposing team had "Warcraft", and Tang Qian could easily stimulate the oriental mysterious power of "eating, sleeping, and fighting Warcraft". This time, it was the first time he faced the Houston Rockets without "Warcraft" Howard in the playoffs.

He also read the pre-game publicity, this Rockets team is very good, but unfortunately this year's West, the strong are like clouds, and now the four teams that have reached the Western Conference semifinals can basically compete with the opposite Cavaliers. Or even take advantage. This year is also a year for Harden to completely enter the big package style of play, and all kinds of statistics have exploded. The average data of 29+11 per game in the regular season is an explosion. The assist stats that only a quasi-super scorer plus a top point guard can play can appear in one person this year.

Coupled with the structure of the whole team and the integration of Paul, Harden feels that this year, there is still a chance to beat any team.

The Lakers are not afraid of him, just shoot them to death!

Tang Qian seemed to see Harden's eyes, and suddenly said in the pre-game handshake: "Do you still have illusions in your eyes?" ”

"What do you mean?" Harden didn't have a good attitude towards Tang Qian, and even his throne of "Touching the Porcelain King" was taken by the Eastern center in front of him, so he felt awkward! He thought to himself, now he can only call him "Porcelain Touching Wang". You say, depressed or not? If you are small for no reason, no one will be happy.

"It's not interesting, I just want to tell you, don't have illusions, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment." Tang Qian said: "It's better to be down-to-earth, always dreaming, it's not good for your health." Of course, Harden heard this kind of ridicule, and suddenly lowered his face and shouted: "Do you really think you will win?" We're not the same this year! ”

How do you know that Tang Qian directly answered: "It's no different, they are all defeated subordinates." ”

Seeing Tang Qian walking away, Harden said with some hatred: "This Oriental guy is really crazy, sooner or later I will defeat him!" ”

Paul next to Harden listened to it but felt that something was wrong: What does it mean that sooner or later? Isn't that today?

That's not a good sign.

ESPN has already lost a city in the regular season, and can only passively cheer for the Lakers' No. 29, and now that the playoffs are coming, they feel that they still have a chance to turn around. The Trail Blazers didn't have much hope in the first place, and if they lost, they lost. But Team Rocket, that can be counted on. Maybe as soon as the Extreme Magic Ball explodes, everything comes?

At that time, let's liquidate and criticize the 29th.

Driven by a group of people's minds, ESPN actually wrote an article about blowing Harden crazy before the game, which made Harden himself a little "fluttering". The title of this article is, James. Harden is playing his greatest performance this season.

With a so-called creation score, the strongest in history!

You read that right, it's the strongest in history, reaching the terrible 57. But seriously, Tang Qian really doesn't know what the significance of this data is? The big bag and big style of play can be very high, Harden's statistics are good-looking, but the playoffs said that this year, if Paul didn't come out to save the game, they wanted to enter the Western Conference semifinals so easily? I'm afraid it's hard. Although Harden's data is very bluffing, it reached 33.2 + 6.4 + 7 + 1.6 + 0.6 in the first round, but the shooting rate is only 41%, and the "stealth baby" routine is played at the critical moment.

So I didn't watch the game, I really thought it was Brother Deng's first round of carrying.

For this, Tang Qian said that it doesn't matter, because of the discussion of data, he is now a king, whatever you want. In the age of statistics with caps, his aggregate data, no matter how you calculate it, is terrible. It was ESPN's ingenuity to come up with a so-called high-level data model that doesn't need to count rebounds and blocks to make Harden reach the top.

It's really embarrassing for ESPN's group of people, racking their brains.

At the Staples Center, the crowd was already full, just waiting for the referee to come and throw the ball.

At the beginning of the game, the Lakers naturally scramble for the ball, Capela and Tang Qian jumped the ball, there was no suspense at all, the strength was crushed, Capela was also very conscious, symbolically jumped, and immediately turned back to defense. The Lakers' first ball was in the low post, Tang Qian turned around and hit the ball, directly erased Capela, and scored a one-handed slam dunk. Capela paid too much attention to the Lakers' No. 29 low-post confrontation and low-post back, and ignored Tang Qian's agility and footwork in terms of focusing on strength. So the opening scene of Tang Qian was directly sent to be played repeatedly.

"Well prepared, Cake Emperor, you've done a good job." Tang Qian said: "Otherwise, if you just take refuge in us, it's better than you being beaten up every night." Capela still has the backbone and refuses directly, the former smiled and said slowly: "I'm just cooperating with you, are you really serious?" Like you, coming to our Lakers, we don't know how to arrange it. ”

Can I not be in a hurry?

The Rockets didn't start out as usual, with Harden and Paul, each with a while, taking turns on the line, but ......

I saw that the "light bulbs" were standing on both sides. This situation is not seen much in the regular season, is it a new trick and a new routine?

The Lakers responded carefully, and the Rockets' Harden suddenly made a breakthrough + diverted the ball, stuffing it from the right to the left, while Anderson made a lateral air cut almost at the same time, wanting to go over to catch the ball. The Lakers, of course, weren't going to give him such an easy chance to pass, and quickly moved the air cut to the position. But who knows that the Rockets simply used Anderson to open the air, and one of their purposes was to take away the Lakers defender on the left.

Loosen the Lakers' left defense.

As long as you give D'Antoni the right person to run the system, then his offensive command ability is the top in history, and there is no doubt about this. Otherwise, he has fought many times in the original time and space, which cannot be summed up by two words: luck. It is definitely not an easy thing to be able to fight in the west to do this. It's much more difficult than the eastern side.

If this Rockets team is placed in the East, it can basically be said that it is the same as the Cavaliers, and the East Finals are scheduled in advance.

And D'Antoni also knows that to deal with the Lakers' all-time top defense, it takes surprise to be effective. For example, in the first few games of this season, it was difficult to solve the game with the Lakers, and even if it was average, it was a stalemate to the end. Why? Singles from Harden and Paul alone? Inadequate. The Lakers' defense is no joke. It is impossible for two people to hit without dropping. Besides, neither Harden nor Paul is the kind of person who plays super efficiently, especially against the Lakers.

What does that rely on? Relying on the surprise, the Lakers have never faced a technical and tactical assault.

Not to mention that it can work for a series, a game of surprise is still okay, and the trouble is not small.

Of course, it's a problem for the opposite Lakers.

For example, Harden and Paul both organized and responded, such as Harden suddenly turned into a two-way guard, such as misplaced blocking, such as infinite change of defense. It's all the kind of play they didn't expect for the Lakers. But after playing each other in the regular season, the Lakers have gradually become accustomed to the Rockets' style of play and routines. It will be difficult to be the same as the original and attack them by surprise.

So...... We have to innovate!

This is also something that D'Antoni is very good at doing, and he has always been at the forefront of the league when it comes to tactical experimentation and innovation. Even if he is employed, he is very bold, otherwise how could he let Harden play the main control and play a complete package? Who made Harden try that before? Isn't it all about using him as a traditional No. 2?

To deal with the Lakers, he also thought about a lot of details and countermeasures, don't think it's just Larry. Brown took it seriously, and he Mike. D'Antoni, that's the same attitude. He also wants to win. And unlike the Trail Blazers, he really feels that this season's Rockets have a chance to make a difference and beat any opponent. Even if he is cosmic brave, he can also rely on the Extreme Magic Ball to fight fiercely.

However, for the Lakers' No. 29, he still has that attitude, if he is on the Rockets, it would be great.

You can definitely fight head-on with Cosmic Yong, and the lineup will not suffer any losses, or even better.

No. 29's mobility and offensive and defensive attributes, as well as the perfect fit with the ball, are simply an upgraded version of the current Houston Rockets center Capela's Super Super Super Universe Invincible. Pity...... The time of coaching him by himself has passed.

Then since you are an opponent, I will use to defeat you to express my appreciation and affection for you.

Tyrant, I'm sorry, but our Rockets aren't the Trail Blazers, so we're not here to be a foil.

Mike. D'Antoni shouted so loudly in his heart.

If you can hear it, you might think it's quite impressive.
