Chapter 455: Frontal Blocking of "Golden Rooster Independence" (Part I)
"Do a good job of rebounding! Do a good job of rebounding! Why do I keep stressing about something so simple? "During the break after the third quarter, Mavericks head coach Rick . Carlisle kept talking in the bench area, looking at the expression on his face, as if he was very unhappy and dissatisfied. www.biquge.info Although the Mavericks have been relegated to a weak team this season, which is very different from two years ago, Rick Carlisle has not decided to give up the game easily.
This is the dignity of his champion coach.
However, this matter is not something that he emphasized and can be solved, because Tang Qian has completely incarnated into a "defensive monster" at this moment. Don't talk about Kaman, half-ruined Elton. Brand, even Dirk. Nowitzki, to compete for rebounding, to force the Lakers' interior, that is also extremely difficult. So at this time, the "German chariot" was the first to stand up and say: "Mr. Carlyle, that Oriental boy is in excellent condition tonight, and we may not have a chance of winning alone, unless we ......" Nowitzki has not finished speaking, Rick. Carlisle thought of the sublimination in the former's words.
"Dirk, with joint means? Is he really worth it? "Rick. Carlisle asked the team's No. 41.
"At least tonight is worth it." Dirk. Before Nowitzki didn't face Tang Qian, he couldn't believe why this Eastern center could achieve 40+ consecutive rebounds in a single game. But tonight, he felt a trace of oppression and a trace of consternation. Even if his average rebounds per game are not outstanding and outstanding on the inside, after all, his height is there, and his rebounding skills exceed the league average, so it's still no problem. But tonight, he completely felt "confused" and "helpless".
Because the Lakers' interior line is standing an Eastern giant, he is like Goliath, sweeping all offense and resisting all firepower. As long as you dare to go in and challenge, then you are guaranteed to be disgraced and embarrassed. Really, the last time this was the case, the last time it felt this way? According to Dirk. Nowitzki's memories still come from the pinnacle of "Warcraft" - Dwight. Howard. And since Howard's physical injuries have become more and more numerous and he has become older, the "town monster" of the alliance has almost completely disappeared. Maybe the Clippers' No. 6 has this potential, but this season, he is still too young to reach the level of a "town monster" on the defensive end for the time being.
But soon, Nowitzki knew that he was wrong, very wrong, and tonight's Lakers No. 29 was by no means just the defensive level of the "peak monster". His abilities will be far beyond the imagination of the Dallas 41.
Tang has scored 6 points, 6 blocks, 13 rebounds and 1 assist so far, and he knows that his statistics tonight are by no means more than that. There will be more, it will be better, and it will be more exaggerated.
"Hot~Good job~Keep up the good work~" Seeing that Tang Qian really single-handedly supported the Lakers' restricted area defense, Mike. D'Antoni was overjoyed because of the relationship with Dwight. Howard's "superstar temper" is different, the Lakers' No. 29 respects himself very much and obeys his tactical arrangements, and when he is on the court, the Lakers' running ball has obviously improved to a higher level. When he came to the Lakers, he had a very deep feeling, that is, it is not impossible to "pile up superstars", but at least we must complement each other and trust and affirm, otherwise we will fight separately and scatter the sand, so even if Jordan comes, there is no way.
Because basketball, in the final analysis, is still a five-person sport, not something that can be played by one person.
Kobe Howard Nash Gasol, these four people, even if they are older, which one of them can't be alone and can't capture the flag? Both. But it's just that there is no team tacit understanding, no chemistry, and you can't play wholeheartedly for the team to win.
Otherwise, what about getting old? There is no problem with at least the top four in the west.
D'Antoni hadn't taken over such a lavish book lineup before, so it was a little off the rails at the beginning, a little uncertain, and that's normal. In the original time and space, in the last period, he actually woke up a little, but it was too late, the Lakers at that time, there were not many schedules, they were terminally ill, and the whole team had no fighting spirit, all of which relied on Kobe Bryant's hard drag to barely enter the door of the playoffs. But the price paid is well known.
Now he also sees the problem, if Howard still wants to be his "low-post killer", then he is insulated from the Lakers as a whole, disconnected, and not on the same channel. If you want to improve your winning rate in the last dozens of games and rush into the playoffs in one go, then you must find a No. 5 spot that is in tune with the Lakers as a whole, not out of touch, and on the same channel.
And apparently, this time Mike. D'Antoni has already found that man.
He is No. 29, Chinese, Tang Qian.
You Howard is strong, the league's No. 1 center, and earns a salary of close to $20 million a year, but unfortunately your role in the Lakers is not as good as a sophomore rookie with an annual salary of only 4 million. This is your sorrow, and it is also the sorrow of the Lakers, if there is still time, then I will give you a slow adjustment and a slow transformation, but who calls it now, there is no time to burn your eyebrows?
So I'm sorry for Warcraft, I'm responsible for the team's record, I'm also responsible for my career, and you're no longer a booster, you're a roadblock!!
"Continue to hold on in the second half ~ Let's overturn the Dallas people in one breath~" Mike. D'Antoni did not arrange any new tactics, because the tactics in the first section are very suitable for the current situation of the Lakers, if they can be persistent, then the team's combat effectiveness and barrel shortcomings will be greatly improved in an instant.
If Paul's injury is not a big problem, then his cooperation with hot will also greatly increase the internal line and comprehensive ability!
It's just that...... This will be an unprecedented defensive test for the No. 5 position!
Will he be able to hold it up?
Thinking about it, Mike. In D'Antoni's heart, a "new mutter" popped up.
Because the biggest problem of a team needs one person to support and solve it...... In this way, will it be a little too stressful? But Mike. D'Antoni can't think of any good way to come, the Lakers' outside group is aging, this is an indisputable fact, and it is not something that he can change if a head coach wants to. And the Lakers' operation this season seems to be strong, but in fact there are many problems, first of all, the problem of age, then the lack of athleticism, and then the lack of defensive giants.
In addition to Kobe, Nash and Ci Shiping are about to become defensive black holes, plus the bench is also full of offensive and defensive weak people, the Lakers' defense has slipped to the bottom of the league. Faced with this situation, Mike. D'Antoni is not out of the question, just like Phoenix back then, just replace defense with offense. In other words, I lost 2 points defensively, and I want to get back 3~4 points offensively. The Lakers have Steve at the moment. Nash also has the conditions to play this tactical system. However, there was no problem on Kobe's side, but it was Howard's side that had a problem.
As often as he does in low singles, Mike. D'Antoni's tactical system was completely contained and basically could not be played. That's why the Lakers are in such a difficult situation. This is completely different from what D'Antoni had envisioned before he arrived. I thought it would be difficult to get and change on the 24th, but I didn't expect it to be Howard, the "Warcraft" I was more optimistic about before.
The "Warcraft" who doesn't play with Nash is a "monster" who plays down and cuts down, and it's Mike through and through. The destroyer of D'Antoni's tactical system, who was suffering from the identity and status of the other party, could not rectify it directly, because one of the fans would not agree, the second management would not agree, and the third D'Antoni really couldn't find a replacement for "Warcraft".
In this way, no matter how messy the "Warcraft" is, he has no way to "strictly stop it", otherwise the team's record will only be worse and worse. It wasn't until he saw the performance of No. 29 just now that his brain regained its operation, and a bold idea gradually began to take shape.
Before going on the court, Tang Qian noticed the "Demonic Beast" at the end of the bench, and the former suddenly said, "You are very upset with me?" You hate me so much? Howard didn't speak, but his eyes said it all. Then you should be like this. Tang Qian dropped a sentence and said, "Because you will only be more unhappy and resentful later." ”
Howard didn't understand at first, but after thinking about it, his face changed dramatically, and he looked at the departing 29th, and his eyes seemed to shoot sharp arrows.
The fourth quarter begins, and Rick. Carlisle adopted Dirk. Nowitzki's suggestion is to start tightening control over the inside line.
No, Tang Qian noticed the change in the opponent's strategy at the first time.
Elton. Brand and Chris. Carman came on the court at the same time, blocking himself, and even preferred to switch to the next outside line to suppress the rebounding ability of No. 29. But it's a pity, Tang Qian didn't worry at all when he saw this, he just raised the corners of his mouth, as if his expression became more excited, 2 people? Is 2 people enough? 2 people can suppress the peak Wilt. Is Chamberlain's strongest rebounding ability?
Under Kobe's defense, O.J. Mayo missed the shot, and the basketball smashed on the Lakers' basket and bounced high.
"Grab the rebound~"
"Grab the rebound~"
Elton. Brand and Chris. Kaman immediately contracted, trying to squeeze out the rebounding space of No. 29 together, but immediately, they knew that it was all in vain and all in vain. Because the Lakers' No. 29 still easily picked up this rebound, as if it was not affected by their shrinkage at all.
The Lakers attacked, and Bryant hit O.J. Mayo with his back, relying on a turning spoon to lick the basket and completely shake the latter's defense away.
Brush~
Ball in~
The lead was on the 4-point side.
On the offensive end, Sean. Marion cut to the basket and wanted to surprise the Lakers.
Although Marion's shooting posture is ugly, the individual ability of this player is still very good, and he is also a 20+10 SF at his peak. It looks unusual, but his rebounding sense and rebounding desire have always been the league's No. 3 position, and he has also practiced a super air cut and forward ability in the Suns, relying on B.T's physical fitness, he can always hit the ball into the basket before the opponent reacts.
Although his athleticism has deteriorated significantly this season, his experience and ability to spot air cuts are still at the top of the league's No. 3 position.
Let's put it this way, if LeBron. James has his off-ball ability, so the top three in history is not without a chance to sprint, at least the Heat quasi-dynasty can last a little longer. A player who rarely attacks with the ball, but can average 20+ points per game for several seasons, what kind of off-ball cutting ability is this??? But I can only think about it, after all, no one is perfect. It's better to imagine a three-point Joe without the ball, if Jordan still has the same three-point shooting ability as Curry? Is it not that no one in the NBA dares to play the No. 2 position?
I have to say that Marion really caught the ball at the right time, which made the Lakers' outside defense collapse in an instant.
However, on the eve of the basketball, it was blocked by a big hand.
Syllable~
In Marion's somewhat incredulous face, the Lakers' No. 29 fanned the ball fiercely, and the basketball was directly knocked out of the front three rows of the audience.
"Tonight, the Lakers are inside, no layups, no shots, no scoring." A voice with a slight oriental accent suddenly appeared, "Have you remembered?" Marion turned his head to look at the tall 29, first stunned, then angry, as if he was going to have to teach the latter a hard lesson.
On the baseline serve, Marion moved at high speed again, and then received Nowitzki's pass, bounced directly high, and wanted to smash the Lakers' No. 29 under the basket in front. Sean. Marion's speed was not covered, he was even more violent than Carter's speed back then, and many times he dunked the basketball in his hand into the opponent's basket before the defender had time to jump.
This scene was also one of the favorites of Suns fans back then.
Tonight, though, this isn't Phoenix.
With a "bang", someone from the Lakers basket also bounced at high speed, and then accurately slammed the basketball into Marion's right hand.
This guy's bullet speed is actually no worse than his own??? This, how is this possible??? Isn't he C???
When Marion saw Tang Qian's bullet speed, his whole person was messy, and his heart was empty, so he was terminated by a big hat.
The Lakers advanced fast-break throughout the game, and Steve Brown. Nash pulls a three-pointer into the net at the top of the arc.
7 points ahead.
"Now you remember, right?" Tang Qian turned his head and grinned at Marion, who was slightly distracted.
No way! No matter how hard you fight, the morale of the team will collapse!
After seeing the problem, the Maverick soul character, Dirk. Nowitzki himself was on the field.
Standing near the neutral zone of the penalty area, which is also commonly known as the waist position, he began to take the initiative to wave for the ball.
And this zone is recognized as the best low-post offensive initiation point on the basketball court.
Seeing that the situation of the team was not good, Nowitzki stood up decisively and chose to play himself alone.
A single goal from the star of the house can definitely boost the morale of the team and prevent the team from sliding further.
However, unlike before, this time the Lakers' No. 29 took the initiative to defend it, because Tang Qian felt that Nowitzki's ball would come by himself and it was unlikely to pass the ball out. And against the Mavericks, the most critical defense is to stop the German big man in front of you, otherwise no matter how well you defend in front, the Mavericks will also have a chance to turn the tables and have a chance to reverse.
