Chapter 1253 Small record, the lowest score in the regular season this season
To say that the Bulls are lucky, the Lakers have a more average hand, and many opportunities are inexplicably missed. Of course, there are two sides to the so-called luck, as the old saying goes, misfortune and fortune are relied upon, and blessings and misfortunes lurk, and sometimes you don't know whether the situation you are facing now is good luck or bad luck.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with the Lakers' style of play in this section, taking advantage of the Bulls' current excessive singles, and playing defensive counterattacks + tactical routines. This is the right decision for the Bulls right now. However, basketball is round, and sometimes the right decision may not necessarily have the desired effect. For example, now, the Lakers' tactical routine VS the Bulls' simple singles must come out with a lot more shooting opportunities. The Bulls are not a defensive powerhouse this season, and without Thibodeau, they have long conceded more than 100 points per game. This kind of defense is not too difficult to play.
However, it doesn't feel very strong tonight, and a lot of balls are said by Zhang Gui in the live broadcast room of Tianchao Sports Channel:
This ball is an opportunity, ouch~, it's short, it's a pity.
This ball is very reasonable, it should have gone in, uh, this was not thrown, XXX's shooting still needs to be practiced.
Tang Qian's shot, chance, must have scored this goal, well, almost, but just like that, let's take a look at the lottery.
So, it's really not that the Lakers didn't play well, they didn't play well, or they just didn't feel good tonight. Fortunately, the Bulls' offense was too single, and they were all heavily disrupted by the Lakers, so the shooting percentage was even lower. It's also a low shooting rate, you can't see it when you look at the data, you can see it when you look at the game, the Lakers just really don't feel very good, and the Bulls are the complete opposite, they just can't score.
These are two completely different "low hit states".
At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led by 5 points at 15-10, but this still made the Lakers' head coach a little dissatisfied. His personality is not the kind of "Zen master", and after saying it directly, let the substitute play better. But the bench didn't play very well, because Pierce was a little unwell, and he didn't play in this game. Yang does more alone. It's a pity that "Yang Shaoxia" was targeted by his opponent tonight. McDermott stared at him, and this game Doug. McDermott is also very smart, that is, he uses his body against Nick. Yang hits him better than Nick. Young's tonnage tonnage is one lap bigger, and his body is much stronger, plus he is in good shape tonight. Yang was in foul trouble. He didn't play for a few minutes before he was forced to take a break.
Less Nick. The Young Lakers' ability to score on their own in bench time has dropped significantly.
Larry. Brown was naturally very dissatisfied with this matter, and immediately angered Nick. Young, Jean Nick. Yang should not be played by his opponents, and he should play smartly. If it doesn't work, pass the ball. In fact, saying this is equivalent to saying it in vain, "Yang Shaoxia" is the person who Kobe Bryant could not pass the ball back then, where will he pass the ball easily? Right. That doesn't fit his personality. So let him play as a substitute, just let him vote, after all, he has the kung fu of Yan Yan shooting and top throwing, which is very precious in the substitute.
When Tang Qian played again, he found that the opponent had overtaken the score, 25-29, and Tang Qian followed Larry. Brown's arrangement, the inside line wants the ball to attract, and then tactically divides the ball, and after receiving the ball, Yi Jianlian immediately set the second pass, and the basketball arrived at Josh. In the hands of Smith. Josh. Smith makes a three-pointer...... No.
Tang Qian grabbed this frontcourt rebound, was violated under the basket, went to the free throw line, and made 0 of 2 free throws.
It seems that Tang Qian's free throw feeling is also average tonight, and he made 8 free throws, only 2 of which were thrown, which was also unlucky.
There is no way to do this, there seems to be no one in the Lakers team who is not ironclad tonight, and when this happens, they can only fight defense. The Lakers' defense is still very strong, there is no doubt about it. Now as long as the Bulls are on Rose, the Lakers are on Butler, and Butler didn't feel very good tonight, but he still relied on hard bursts and physical contact to score a lot of points with free throws. Anyway, this score is more than Ross. Rose hasn't scored three tonight, which is really embarrassing.
I got three points after playing for so long, and I really don't know what to say.
Rose can't remember the last time he played like this, but there was still time, and he just had to turn it around in the rest of the time. Anyway, many games are played badly in the front, and it's OK to redeem in the back. The vast majority of fans still only watch the final result.
The Bulls have a lot of individual offense, and the effect is very poor, and the Lakers have a lot of tactical transmission, and the opportunity is good, well, the effect is also poor. If you don't enter, isn't that a bad effect? Seeing this ball, the commentators at the Staples Center are a little sweaty:
'Well defended, it's a chance, a good pass, this goal...... No. โ
"Good pass, hot ball is a beautiful inside and outside, and directly to the bottom line, Famar three-point shot, the ball is very positive ~3......" and then the voice stopped abruptly.
But you look at the opportunity so well, it's embarrassing not to pass it on, so the Lakers' tactical routine tonight is very exciting, but unfortunately it is a little "strong" in the end. This is really the "death of a hurry" for Lakers fans watching the game on TV and mobile phones.
Interjections such as ouch ~ oops ~ oh mom ~ emerge in endlessly.
At the end of the first half, the Lakers actually trailed the opponent by one point, 33-34, which is really low enough. In the end, Rose also touched the underwear of the "goddess of luck" and threw a super long whistle close to the center circle. I really don't know what to say. Looking at Rose's angry expression, Tang Qian comforted Butler and wanted him not to be affected. Who knew that Butler was ruthless, staring at the No. 1 of the Bulls and saying, "I must make him score a double tonight!" โ
"Be sure to !!"
When Tang Qian saw this, he didn't say much, because of this aura and fighting spirit, he didn't need to comfort himself at all. This kind of player is really good, with strong mental toughness and ability, and can barely be called an offensive and defensive one. What else is there to complain about? I really don't know why the Bulls are so unoptimistic about him. In fact, Tang Qian stopped him because of this, otherwise, what kind of personality do you think Butler has? He's hardworking, he's playing hard, he's training hard, but he's the same...... It's definitely a big thorn.
If the boss can't suppress him, he can't be idle, and he often has to "force the palace" and "rebel".
At the end of the halftime break, the two sides played again in Staples, and I have to say that Rose's half-court whistle just now still had a certain effect, and the Bulls entered the locker room with the lead, and the morale was relatively high.
In the second half, Larry. Brown didn't want to put up with it, because he also found out that the overall feeling of the Lakers tonight was not good, and this situation is not too common, but a season, just like a woman, there will always be a few times. At this time, you don't have the luxury of beating the opponent with your attack, no matter how good the chance, it will be difficult to shoot. If you can't throw it in, it's equivalent to a vain.
Sure enough, as soon as the feeling is not good, what tactics and vacant shots are equal to nothing, it's better to be honest, do a good job of defense and use defense to win the game. Seeing that the Lakers gave 3 more chances, Larry. Brown called a timeout and waited for Larry to come down. Brown switched to Robert at the No. 4 position. Covington. This means that the Lakers are going to open up as a whole. Similar to the Warriors' Death Five, this is a killer move. Then the old man took the tactical board and said: "Wait and play the low post and the inside line, hot, you reduce the pass, and if you have the opportunity, you can play it yourself." Do you have any questions? โ
If it had been like this at the beginning, some people might have thought that Larry. Brown relied too much on Tang Qian. But this is the third quarter, the Lakers' offense has not improved, and most of them have a bad hand, so no one has the slightest objection to the head coach's arrangement. Tang Qian also nodded, he just felt that everyone had a good chance and should pass the ball, since the head coach asked him to do so, he was duty-bound.
"You remember, fight more, now you need to fight yourself. Scald. "Larry. Brown looked at Tang Qian and said emphatically.
"Don't worry, I will, sir, although the opponent's interior defense is very good, but I can still play." Tang Qian's words really sounded very plain, but in fact they were very unusual. Even though the Bulls have now changed their head coach and their defensive system has collapsed, their interior is still very strong. Noah + Gasol, do you say it's amazing? This combination was once the strongest inside combination in the East. James has suffered a lot.
Tang Qian is not in the state of "Heavenly God Descending to Earth" now, so he will naturally be affected to a certain extent. However, that doesn't mean he can't fight. In front of him, most of his attacks were air cuts and down attacks, and the destructive power was not high. After Brown asked Tang Qian to attack on his own, the attack style would definitely change. As we all know, air cuts and downs are the easiest offensive methods to be contained as the defensive intensity increases, even if you are the Warriors, otherwise, they would have won a championship long ago, and what else do you need for Durant. The only one that really broke this boundary was the "metaphysical spurs" in 2014. The Lakers, of course, can't get there. So Larry. Brown was very decisive and let the Lakers' No. 29 adopt a self-attacking style of play to break the game.
Singles is the least popular and most inefficient scoring method in the downwind game, but when it comes to the headwind game and the attacking game, the situation changes rapidly and is completely different. At that time, it was a singles, which was the most powerful and able to crush the opponent. Fans who watch the ball a little more at this point must be deeply touched. The Warriors have made the best interpretation. With the super singles point super terminal Durant, the last shortcomings have been filled, and in an instant, there is no one in the NBA.
That's what it means, for example, in 2018, when James found it difficult for the team to break the defense in the playoffs, didn't he still adopt a "Jocรณ-style" style of play? Why. Isn't it because this method is the most effective and can help the team beat the opponent? Now the Lakers' Larry. Brown just wanted Tang Qian to do this.
Don't cut in the air, don't go down, don't block and dismantle the strategy, just ask for the ball and ask for the ball alone.
Tang Qian understood and began to execute.
Because Tang Qian didn't ask for the ball much before, the Bulls didn't react at once, Tang Qian passed Noah with the ball, and then easily shot the basket to score. The Bulls passed an inside ball, but it came in and was stealed. That's right, after changing to a super infinite defensive lineup, the Lakers' overall defense has become extremely fast, with defensive steals and passing line interference all rising to a level in an instant. The Bulls were careless, and the ball Rondo passed slowly, and when all the players were in place, they directly gave it to the low post. Tang Qian hit again, forced Noah away, and then scored on his head against the latter.
Brush ~score~
In the singles, most of the players are pulled away or frozen, although there is an element of "four people watching the play", but sometimes, this "watching mode" is still needed. Because it's all pulled away, it's a one-to-one ability. This is also a big role for the star when it can't be opened. The Bulls played an outside pass and cut away, and after pulling away, he burst to Gasol, allowing Gasol to play directly high and attack. Lifting high and hitting high is one of the best technical moves for a low position to hit a small one. Gasol has always been a first-class figure in this area. I remember that even Coach Zhang, the "Tie Yao Mi", couldn't help but admire Gasol's inside offensive habits, basically playing high and not giving the little man a chance to cut the ball. At this point, Yao Ming did not do a particularly good job.
ALTHOUGH COVINGTON SAID THAT HE IS 206CM TALL AND HAS AN ARM SPAN OF ABOUT 217~218CM, IN THE END GASOL IS 7 FEET TALL AND HAS GOOD OFFENSIVE SKILLS IN THE LOW POST. In addition, the arm span has reached the historical top of the inner line, which is up to 230CM, and the tonnage is much larger than Covington. Besides, he is not tough enough, and it is also relative to the interior player, and it will not be too difficult to deal with a player like Covington, who is still a bit of an outside nature in nature.
In the end, it is low, or the world of tall people, and the territory of high people.
There aren't many teams still playing the Twin Towers, and the Bulls are one of them, so Covington is a bit of a loser in defending this ball. But Covington gritted his teeth and defended, he was preparing to delay the Spaniard as much as possible, and then let ......
"Paul did a good job with this ball, he was in a good position, and he was playing high, which made Covington a bit of a congenital loss."
"Paul's low-post offense is a lot of threat unless it comes against a particularly tough inside, and we felt that very well at the time. Covington defends him in the low post, it's too hard. โ
It can be seen that the Lakers are still very nostalgic, and the on-site commentator still calls Gasol by his first name instead of his last name. In the end, it was the former champion who won the championship and won 3 championships with the Lakers, as the most humane teams in the league, the Lakers did a very good job in this aspect, which is heartwarming. However, they all underestimated Covington, who knew that it would be difficult for him to defend against the opponent's attack in the low post with a single defense, so he directly made a tactical defense. He just tried to create a confrontation, slow down Gasol's shot rate and action rate, and finally ......
"oh~a big hat that came to help defend ~Blk~~~ from our tyrant hot ~~~~~~~~~"
After Tang Qiangai flew the ball, he patted Covington on the back and said, "Good job, keep it up." โ
Covington nodded happily and excitedly, after all, he was praised as the league's No. 1 center, and this position was definitely not light. What status is he still in now? Naturally, there should be some inner stirring. The defense was even harder.
The Lakers passed the ball low, and this time the Bulls helped defend early, Tang Qian quickly received the ball, and then immediately cut to another angle, and as soon as his back was topped, he started to ask for the ball again. Rondo also quickly passed in, and Tang Qian received the ball and turned to play, causing a defensive foul on the Bulls players. Free throws 2 goals.
This is what Kerr said before, Tang Qian's progress and adaptability, he combined the characteristics of the space inside line + the giant beast center, so that breaking the co-defense and breaking the bag has become one more method, concise and effective. However, ordinary people can't use it, because either they don't have Tang Qian's current tonnage and strength, or they have it, but their footsteps and ball ability are not enough. In addition, the Lakers' outside chief point guard is many NBA assist Wang Rondo, and these conditions are combined to have Tang Qian's technical move. Successful killing.
1 of 2 free throws, the Bulls held the ball, trying to get a shot and disrupt the Lakers' defensive formation by blocking and pick-and-roll. Well, the idea is good, but when it was executed, it suddenly found out that the Lakers were not fooled at all. Or, there has long been a way to wait to deal with their side. You want to block and dismantle through the strong side, directly rely on Rose to kill the inside, and shoot + burst points yourself. At the same time, on the strong side, the Bulls also pulled away the Lakers' wing defenders to clear the offensive space for Rose. Fred. Although Hojberg is a pure rookie coach, he is not a fool and still knows that the execution of tactics must be coordinated as a whole. At the very least, it requires the cooperation of multiple people to be most effective. It's a pity, it's a pity, the Lakers' side suddenly assisted in defense by changing the defense + the weak side, which made Rose fall into a strong defensive circle all of a sudden. If this were an ordinary team, an ordinary defensive player, Rose might have gritted his teeth and passed it, but who are the Lakers now? Are you just going to say it, just say it? Ariza who changed the defense + Covington, who came from the weak side, restrained Rose to death, Rose has lost his maximum impact speed on the ball, and he is not the peak rose anymore, so he can only pass the ball out helplessly.
The ball was then interfered with by the rest of the Lakers' reach, and finally hit the arm of the Bulls receiver and went straight out of bounds.
Tang Qian in the low position forced the ball again, although it was a bit buried, I still have to say that Noah wanted to defend Tang Qian, it was too light. Noah is still under 240 pounds, and that's to keep pace for the league's current style of spaciousness. But when such a tonnage collides with Tang Qian, it is just four words, and he is losing and retreating. was squeezed by Tang Qian so that his feet were unstable. Not to mention causing distractions and trouble, I can barely afford not to stumble and fall. Otherwise, how would O'Neal think that he could average 40~50 points per game when he came to Hyundai. Bragging is for sure, but there's nothing wrong with playing the inside low post easier than when he plays. Look at O'Neal playing the interior of the East at that time, how did the Finals ravage? That efficiency is really beyond Jordan's reach. It's too easy and too lethal.
Tang Qian actually broke Noah's top defense by squeezing the position, and at this time, the Bulls' Gasol was already slow to help defend, and the Lakers' No. 29 had already jumped up, a physical confrontation, and he hit Gasol with one hand. Bang dang ~ dunk ~ plus a free throw ~
Noah has actually begun to decline sharply this season, averaging only 4+8+3+1 data per game. The hit rate is even more spicy to the eye, only more than 3 percent. A center has a shooting rate of more than 3 percent, and there is really no one. In addition, the defense has been on a downward trend since last year, and this year it is quite obvious, and it is already difficult to lock down the opponent. Such a Noah is no longer a Noah at the defensive level, and it is easy to deal with it. It's all simple torture.
After Tang Qian started his individual singles, he quickly turned the situation around, and the No. 5 position of the Bulls couldn't stop him at all.
Without Gasol's defense, it would be difficult for him to achieve great things alone.
Seeing that the Lakers re-overtook him, Rose was ready to come out as a "savior" again, and began to play high singles when he asked for the ball, but as a result, he still didn't score under Butler's defense. The Lakers got the ball and gave it to Tang Qian, Tang Qian saw that Gasol defended quickly, and immediately divided the ball, but unfortunately Covington was not able to shoot the ball, but it didn't matter, Tang Qian rose up on the inside of the Bulls and got this frontcourt rebound. The second offense resulted in a foul on Gasol's thug.
On the free throw line, this time the Lakers made 2 of 2 free throws, and the Lakers gradually regained the lead.
The Bulls are still singles for Rose, Gasol wants the ball and Ross turns a blind eye, Rose is forced to impact Butler, but his speed and explosiveness are weaker than a notch, and after these are reduced, the disadvantage of body and confrontation will be instantly highlighted in the offensive and defensive battle with Butler.
Another miss!
Lakers home commentator Beal. McDonald laughed and quipped, "There are no roses in Staples tonight."
"Anyway, you're slow now, you don't have the strength you had back then." After Butler defended the ball, he looked at Rose and said a word, and then went to the front court unhurriedly. Anyway, the Lakers are playing at a slow pace, and he is not in a hurry.
Rose was completely enraged and began to shoot aggressively, but no one listened to him, and playing like this naturally got worse and worse, so that the Bulls also lost the possibility of winning. In this quarter, the Lakers only allowed the Bulls to score a total of 6 points! The Lakers' defense in the third quarter was a classic! However, because the Lakers themselves rely on Tang Qian's single offense, the lead is only within single digits. This made the fourth quarter a logical appearance, and the main forces of the two sides continued to fight.
Tang Qian seized the opportunity and scored 14 points again in a single quarter, which is not too much, but it is already more than half of the Lakers' 21 points in the fourth quarter. This kind of score would seem a bit ordinary in a normal game, but tonight, it was not at all. Tonight, the Bulls only scored 13 points in the fourth quarter, which is not as good as Tang Qian. This is still the reason why the Lakers have decided the overall situation at the end and let them play a few in.
The Bulls scored a total of 53 points in the whole game! Oh my God, the team's lowest single-game score so far this year's regular season has been there. Among them, 19 points in the second half tied the NBA's record for the lowest team points scored in the second half. In this game, the Bulls mainly played too much and played too poorly at this point, exceeding 25+ shots, and the result was not 10 points, only 9 points. The 2 points in the second half were also a big surprise. In fact, Rose had a chance to get Butler to break his promise, but he made 0 of 4 free throws in the second half, which is no wonder. You can only admit it yourself. Butler only scored 11 points in this game, but he only used 5 shots, plus 4 free throws, plus contributions on the defensive end, it was no problem to completely suppress Rose.
And this is already the Lakers' several consecutive games that have allowed opposing teams to score less than 60 points.
This time, there are even more than 50 points.
Finally, slowly, everyone felt that this slow-paced team was not a slow-paced team like the previous Bulls and Grizzlies, and their defense was really strong. It must be taken seriously.
But there's still to come. Larry. Brown has a small ambition and desire that he has never told anyone, and that is......
PS: The first more 6k is sent, continue to continue, tonight must be a 10,000-word outbreak ~ ask for support~~~~~~~~~
