Chapter 344: His Name Is Stephen. Curry (bottom)
Just when the Lakers' main lineup took a short break, the Warriors went berserk. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Their new core, No. 30 Stephen. Curry, started a scoring streak.
Different from the traditional scoring show "slash and kill", Curry's scoring show is extremely light, and even before people come to their senses, he scored 3 three-pointers in a row, chasing 9 points for the Warriors within a minute. This kind of efficiency, others may not seem to have much, but in Tang Qian's eyes, he couldn't sit still, and ran over to take the initiative to talk to Mike. D'Antoni requested an early play.
"Hot, don't worry, we are still 6 points ahead, and the reasonable rest of the main players is also a very important part of the long season." Mike. D'Antoni also did not perceive the crisis, because this kind of continuous 3-point long shot, in his eyes, is simply gambling, and it is absolutely impossible to last for a long time. Once the shooting percentage drops, it's a good opportunity for the Lakers to continue to stretch the score off the bench. His starting point is good, in order to let the main players rest as much as possible, and his way of thinking is also very correct in the long history of the NBA in 50~60 years.
From this season onwards, many of the fixed thinking in the league will be completely overturned.
One of them is: three-point shots can't kill people.
Even if it's Mike. D'Antoni is good at "running and shooting", and he never felt that he could win on 3-pointers alone, and his tactical philosophy was to defend quickly and counterattack and score a lot of sports battles. Three-pointers are needed, but not that decisive factor.
Therefore, he refused Tang Qian's request to play early.
But right away, he paid for his decision.
Because soon, the Warriors scored two more three-pointers, one for Curry and the other for Klay. Thompson. Clay. Thompson has grown a lot this season compared to last season, not only with more three-point shots, but also with a strong shooting skill set. THIS IS HIS METAMORPHOSIS, THOMPSON ORIGINALLY HAD A HEIGHT OF 201CM, A GOOD ARM SPAN OF 206CM, AND A HEIGHT OF 8 FEET 8 INCHES ON THE SPOT, WHICH ALLOWED HIM TO SHOOT 3-POINTERS WITH RELATIVELY LESS INTERFERENCE AND LESS INTERFERENCE. So in the future, this guy can break the NBA's single-game playoff three-point shooting record.
Moreover, this guy has a terrifying attribute, that is, "people go crazy", compared to the 3-point stability, he may not be as good as the team's Stephen. Curry. But if it was just a hot touch, he would even overpower Curry. To put it mildly, once he feels hot, then you can't defend it, it's basically useless, unless you can cover it, it won't affect his shooting at all.
In fact, compared to Curry, he is more like a "pure three-point shooter", in the case that the rest of the offensive means are not outstanding, he can enter the All-Star team by relying on his perverted three-point shooting ability, this "special", I am afraid that Curry is slightly inferior.
On the Lakers' side, the bench lineup went up, and it felt a little stunned, and they made 5 consecutive three-pointers, and in less than 2 minutes, they erased the 15-point score difference, which made the Lakers players feel like they were dreaming.
Too, too T.M.D is unreal!
Later generations are known as the "Splash Brothers", which is really worthy of the name!
In their eyes, it seems that there is nothing, and it can be bulldozed for you in a few minutes!
In this case, Mike. D'Antoni finally called a timeout, without it, because these two minutes, it was like a dream.
But Mike. D'Antoni still doesn't take the Golden State Warriors too seriously, after all, in his opinion, the Lakers' strongest is the main lineup, and the bench is slightly pulled points, which is not a big deal.
As long as the main player can stabilize the situation immediately, then it will be fine.
The purpose of basketball, that's still to win.
As for the process, it doesn't really matter, does it?
The bosses, the management, the media, the fans, in the end, it's up to you whether you can win or not, in a sense, it's just the result.
The rest of the Lakers team is obviously not aware of this problem, after all, relying on "3-pointers to win", which has never happened in the history of the NBA league. So the team in front of you can't be an exception. Dwight. Howard had just scored a goal against the opposing team's Klay Brown. Thompson, immediately returned a three-pointer.
Brush~
Tang Qian saw this momentum, and secretly shouted in his heart, if the "Splash Brothers" really went crazy, then the Lakers would be hanging in this game. Don't underestimate the three-point ability of these two people, the top in history is the lightest statement.
Hang to the terrible!
Bryant accepted a pass from Sh, ran without the ball in the middle range and scored.
But as soon as he turned around, Stephen. Curry threw in another three-pointer!!
Suddenly the lead of 15 points turned into a 2-point behind, Ci Shiping couldn't shoot, Tang Qian grabbed the rebound, and was preparing to attack the basket for the second time, but he hadn't started yet. Lee and Festus. Ai Zeli pounced on him, looking like he wouldn't let Tang Qian shoot smoothly even if he was fouled. Tang Qian hesitated, but still gave up Qiangqi, because his free throw shooting rate was really not flattering, even if the free throw crystal brick had already been practiced to 9, it was not useful.
So he made a shooting feint and gave the basketball inside pass to the "Warcraft" Howard on the other side. At this time, it is not the time to care about the "fighting spirit within the team", and he attracted the defense of the Warriors' 2 interior players and passed it to the vacated Howard, which is definitely a correct and reasonable tactical play.
Howard didn't mean to deliberately waste Don's pass, he bent his knees with the ball, and then rose from the ground.
Stage an inside slam dunk!
But at this time, a figure of the Warriors suddenly rushed into the inside, and then did not look at the ball, and went directly towards Dwight. Howardra dragged him over. If this is the "Warcraft" at his peak, he can also rely on super explosiveness to force a dunk into the basket, but unfortunately this season, he was trapped by a back injury, and his physical fitness under the basket has declined a lot, so the violent play style at his peak has gradually become unplayable.
In fact, Dwight. After Howard left the Magic, he was never able to return to the state and ability of his peak, and the word "boss" was completely insulated from him.
Beep~
In Stephen. Under Curry's "violent foul", Howard could only helplessly go to the free throw line.
I don't know why, before 2011, although Howard made poor free throws, it was close to 60%, and usually hovered around 59%. In this way, the other party is not so "unscrupulous" when he cuts it. Since last season, his free-throw shooting percentage has begun to fall to the sky, from around 60% to less than 50% in an instant. Only 4 percent of the free throws were shot, which is almost a pitiful level. You must know that in the past, although Howard's free throws were not good, they were far from the point where they started with a four. 4, that means that he arrived at Shaq. O'Neal's free-throw realm.
Truly stepped into the amateur level.
And this hit rate is enough for the opponent to rest assured that he will "cut the shark", no, now it is "cutting the huo".
Bang Bang~
Missed two consecutive shots, which gave the Warriors a chance to continue to widen the margin of the score.
Stephen. Curry dribbled the ball, and as soon as he got close to the Lakers' 3-point line, he rose to the ground and took a shot.
This is also cast ???
Everyone at the scene looked stupid, because this ball was obviously not a shooting opportunity, and he didn't even adjust his body.
"Curry made a very irrational shot, and I think this ball will be ......" said Bob. Before Gerrard's words were finished, a crisp "brush" sound was transmitted through the loudspeaker to every corner of the Oracle Stadium.
"oh~yes~ Stephen made an incredible three-pointer!!" Although he was slapped in the face, as a live commentator, Bob. Gerard was still very quick to react, and immediately changed his words.
But fortunately, the referee awarded a penalty, and Curry's ball stepped on the three-point line on his toes, so the technical desk only gave Curry a long 2-point score. But even so, the enthusiasm of the Oracle Arena is gradually surging, after all, the home team is strong, and the fans will not be stingy with their voices and movements.
It's 4 points behind.
On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant missed the shot again, and the basketball collapsed directly outside the sideline.
Warriors' Curry breaks through the pass, Harrison. Barnes hit a 45-degree three-pointer for seven points.
In the blink of an eye, in 3 minutes, the Lakers went from a big lead to a 7-point deficit.
In this case, Mike. D'Antoni called a timeout again.
"Next ball, Dwight, you go singles inside, let's go first." Don't look at Mike. D'Antoni is the "master of running and shooting", but when it really comes to the critical moment, there is an inside superstar to use, and he still will not hesitate. Especially in the case of Kobe Bryant's poor hand in this game, Dwight. Howard should have picked up the scoring burden.
But he believes too much in this season's "monster", not to mention the cause of injury, this season will be a season in which Howard's average points per game fell by 20+, and in the following seasons, there is no trend of recovery, all the way down. Moreover, Tang Qian remembers very well that after the end of this season, ESPN specifically counted Dwight. Howard's low-post singles success rate, among any player in the league with more than 200 low-post singles, Dwight is the best player in the league. Howard ranks, first from the bottom! Yes, you read that right, it is the first from the bottom, and the singles error rate is more than 23%~25%! On average, he only scored around 0.6 points per low-post single! These data are all among the top figures in the league.
In the past, Howard was never the first singles choice in the tactical system of Big Van Gundy.
He was able to average 20+ points per game, partly because the league was in a period of inactivity, partly because of his superhuman physicality, and partly because of the use of him by Big Van Gundy, which was extremely appropriate, playing to his strengths and avoiding weaknesses, so he could create an illusion of offensive and defensive omnipotence in the Magic team.
Some people in the future say that he is actually a "super blue-collar" in essence, although this is a bit radical and biased, but it is not unreasonable. The first to see through this phenomenon was Howard's "mentor" Stan. Van Gundy. It's a pity that at that time, the heart of the "Warcraft" was higher than the sky, and he thought that the big Van Gundy restricted his development, so he finally broke with his former teacher.
At the beginning, the Lakers also regarded Howard as a "savior", at least at the level of "Batman", but in the end they found that Howard was far inferior to Andrew on the offensive end. Bynum. That's right, it's far inferior, and it can even be said to be 108,000 miles behind. And this guy is not willing to be a "blue collar" and play blocking and dismantling, which makes Los Angeles fans gradually see the true nature of "Warcraft".
It's not that the Lakers don't give him a low-post singles tactical position, it's just that this guy really doesn't have that diamond diamond.
This is a problem that Howard himself will not be able to see until the 2014-2015 season.
See clearly that you are not the material for low-post attacks.
But in the 2012-2013 season, except for Big Van Gundy, few people in the league knew the answer to this question.
Mike. D'Antoni, of course, didn't know.
In his eyes, Dwight. Howard is still the league's No. 1 center.
Howard was also very happy that the head coach could give him this opportunity, so he promised that he would definitely kill the Warriors to the basket, lose his armor, and. But what about the facts? The other side also seems to have guessed what the Lakers think, so Mark. Jackson replaces Harrison. Barnes, replaced by Carl. Landry, to strengthen the protection of the inner line.
But in the end, he found out that Festus. Azeri actually managed to "single-handedly" defend the league's No. 1 center, Dwight. Howard. Although several balls were almost put in, but if they didn't go in, they didn't go in, and there was no "what if" in the basketball, so Howard could only blame himself for his poor hand work.
It seemed a bit irritating to Howard, and he began to move bigger and bigger. Azeri and David. Li Yi summed up and began to play fake fall tactics. And, unexpectedly, their tactics worked wonders.
Two offensive fouls directly annoyed Howard, and then he was given 2 technical fouls in a row for colliding with the referee, and in full view, the league's No. 1 center was sent out of Oracle Stadium.
This directly gave the Warriors 2 free throw opportunities, Curry did not hesitate, hit both free throws, and when he landed, the Lakers, who had been in a good situation before, fell on the verge of losing.
No way, Mike. D'Antoni could only call another timeout, and with Howard sent off, he had to readjust his team's tactics and style of play.
In about 6 minutes, the Lakers were already trailing by a full 13 points. D'Antoni didn't come back to his senses.
"Hot, your rebounding is going to come on, it's better to control the dead rebound, so that we can win!" Mike before playing. D'Antoni stopped Tang Qian alone, and then personally commanded the mission. I didn't expect such a critical juncture, Mike. D'Antoni would believe in himself like this, Tang Qian was slightly moved, he nodded, and said, "Well, I will definitely do my best, Mr. D'Antoni." ”
"Bryant, your shot should be accurate, it's enough after so many hands, right?" Before taking on the field, Steve. Nash suddenly said something to Kobe, who turned his head to look at him, and only said with a blank face after a while, "sure." ”
Oracle Arena, home commentator Bob. Gerald said passionately and loudly: "Bay Area Rise ~ Bay Area Rise ~~ Bay Area Rise ~~~" Driven by him, nearly 20,000 spectators in the audience also shouted loudly along with him: "Bay Area Rise ~ Bay Area Rise ~~ Bay Area Rise ~~~"
It's really amazing, it's really worthy of the Golden State Warriors, and today is a preliminary understanding.
However, I will not back down from the competition.
Because, I'm going to win too!!
Tang Qian looked at the scorer before going on the field.
