On May 12, U.S. time, the Lakers hosted the Los Angeles Clippers, of course, at the Staples Center. It's just that the floor and the commentator have been replaced by the Lakers.

At the beginning of this game, the Lakers were a little underwhelmed, because they had a big lead and a good situation to advance, which made them ignore the difficulty of leading this series. As long as Paul is on the court in this game, he will give up the high-speed rush play, and the Clippers start to attack with a traditional style of play, but unfortunately they all have an average shooting rate, only 22 points in the first quarter, but the Lakers are the whole team has a good hand, and they scored a 30+ point in the first quarter.

Although the system is still not running well, it feels good, which also covers up this aspect.

It seems that this game should be won smoothly, but who knows that at this time, someone in the Clippers is angry, he is a stable god, Chris. Paul. Seeing that the morale of all his teammates was a little low and he was not in a state, the depression in his heart was transformed into anger. Because if he loses again, he will once again be ridiculed by the outside world, and he is a man who is "cursed by the floor of the West". This kind of bullshit nickname, he absolutely never wants to hear. So, Paul went berserk.

It is said that he usually plays very steadily, and he always attacks as the first goal, but tonight, he began to go against the norm.

From the middle of the second quarter, he grabbed the Lakers' No. 1 position and kept attacking. Whether it's Jeremy Lin or some other substitute.

Paul's offense in the playoffs this season actually feels very good, he played a strong "190+ shooting percentage" in the last round, and he is also close to the "190 club" in the entire playoffs this season. Jeremy Lin was really sad to be targeted by him. Usually it's okay, this game, the pressure of elimination, the anger in the heart, the unwillingness to be ridiculed by the outside world and other factors combined, so that Chris. Paul pressed so many scenes at once that he finally couldn't help but vent himself.

There is no doubt that it is really terrifying to enter "The.Zone" in full force, because he is now in the peak state of his age, and entering "The.Zone" in full force really makes Jeremy Lin, who already feels average in this round of the series, feel a lot of pressure, and his head will be numb. HE COULD SEE THAT THE 183CM LITTLE MAN ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE HAD A FIRE ERUPTING IN HIS EYES.

He wouldn't have been able to stop this man, but now ...... It is even more difficult.

In this quarter, as long as the Clippers are a little unable to continue the offense, he will decisively stand up and take over, which is called a dozen and a quasi, 15 points in a single quarter, 7 shots and 5 hits, the shooting rate is more than 7 percent, the most important thing is that he Nima hit 100% of his three-point shots. It's really not that Jeremy Lin doesn't work hard defensively, or the man on the other side is too tough, plus 2 free throws and 2 free throws, he scored 15 points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds in a single quarter, which made the Clippers basically have no "offensive gap time" in the second quarter, and scored 32 points in a single quarter. Nick. Young didn't have a good hand in this game, allowing the Lakers to score essentially zero points in the second quarter of their bench time. If it weren't for Yi Di's throw, I don't know how many points the other party would have to catch up with during this time. D'Antoni had no choice, and immediately arranged for Tang Qian and Bosh to play, and Bosh stood up at the scoring end and helped the Lakers get through this unfavorable scoring situation, but on the defensive end, the effect was still not good.

How so? Didn't Tang sneak up?

That's a great question. Tang sneaked up, and he deliberately kept it on the offensive end, so he should have no problem with his physical fitness in defense, and he could be more focused and concentrated. However, there is a problem here, the Clippers are too fierce in this quarter, that is, they are looking for Jeremy Lin to play one-on-one singles, the shooting rate is still extremely high, and the three-point shot has not missed a single shot, what are you going to do?

No matter how strong Tang Qian is, he can't care so far. Paul is one-on-one ability to eat Jeremy Lin, and most of his shots are concentrated in the area outside the penalty area, which also makes Tang Qian have no way to intervene. In fact, Paul's two missed shots in this quarter were also thanks to him, and he made up for it inside, so that Paul missed the penalty area. Otherwise, it is very likely that this quarter will be played by Chris. Paul shot 7-of-7.

After this quarter, the Clippers overpowered the Lakers by 5 points, but they didn't pay much attention to it.

Anyway, the second quarter of the Lakers, for so many years, was the weakest time for defense.

Scoring a little more by someone, everyone is used to it, after all, the other party is not a fool, knowing that your team's defensive ability is the weakest at this time, do you still watch obediently if you don't play? Therefore, no one paid much attention to it. Everyone thought that they should play well in the second half and then chase after it. In this game, the Lakers have a good chance of winning it.

There were even easter eggs ready to celebrate the promotion, just waiting for the Lakers to sweep 4-1 gentlemen.

At the beginning of the second half, the Lakers really overwhelmed the Clippers as usual, and Tang Qian's deterrence under the basket also greatly reduced the overall shooting rate of the Clippers, with only 6 of their 20 shots in a single quarter, with a shooting rate of only 30%, and no one scored more than 7 points. Paul made a lot of good passes, but his teammates didn't take them. That's why the Clippers have been one step behind all these years, and they're prone to problems when it's crucial. Eventually led to a series exit.

Whether it's Paul or Griffin or the rest, it's almost meaningless for the key tackling.

Not as fierce and stable as Kobe, Durant, and James.

And the game is played to that point, and it is the hard work ability of the star.

The Spurs in the 13-14 season, the kind of team as a whole is explosive and even metaphysical, after all, there is only one, and it is actually impossible to let them come again this season. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been killed by the Clippers. This year's Paul is already very hard, at least more decisive than in previous seasons.

Seeing the team being pressed down again, Paul was really angry about the game, and he started a wave of individual offensive scoring shows in the fourth quarter without warning. 20 minutes per quarter!! This situation can even be said to be a rare stroke in Paul's playoffs, Jeremy Lin was blinded by the former, 7 of 9 shots in a single quarter, with a shooting rate of 77.8%, three-point shots, and your sister's 100% hits, 4 shots all went into the net, and basically all of them were thrown into the net by Jeremy Lin. A change of direction and a sudden stop, a three-point shot, this kind of ball, Jeremy Lin also expressed despair.

It's impossible for him to defend Paul without going a little farther away, Paul's breakthrough is too strong, and tonight the latter is also beyond the usual precision, he is a little confused. The judgment of the head gradually becomes abnormal. When D'Antoni saw this, he was still more decisive, and immediately replaced someone else to defend Paul, but unfortunately it was useless. You stick tight, he passes, and then jumps into the net, and people don't go into the inside challenge so much, you go a little farther away like Jeremy Lin, he raised his hand again and shot a three-pointer, and it was terrifying, what can you do? You can't do that. This is the best state of the combination of sudden shots, not a super defensive striker, and there is no chance to resist it. Even Butler, who is a second-defense team, is not strong because Paul has entered the full "The.Zone".

The Lakers were disrupted by Paul this quarter, and Paul, whose attack power was suddenly increased to the extreme, really left you with nothing to do.

In the end, in order to contain Paul, D'Antoni can only choose to adopt joint defense and packing, otherwise if it goes on like this, I am really afraid that Paul will play even more crazy points. However, Paul passed the ball again at this time, and he was still in the No. 1 position, and this essence had long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, so ...... The Lakers can only bet on the rest of the people to miss the shot, just like before.

But once again, if you want to expect others to not be allowed to win, it's like worshipping a bodhisattva before an exam.

There is no control and initiative at all, once the opponent's hand is back to normal, yes, you just need to be normal, and you will be finished.

These people are all NBA starters, and they are not weak, they only need to feel normal in the face of big openings, and they don't need to be extraordinary, that is, they can kill the Lakers. In the fourth quarter, the Lakers once again suffered a big loss without a defensive system, and the whole was extremely chaotic by Paul, and the defensive formation was left and right, which was what Paul wanted, he would not let go of any opportunity to pass and assist, the Clippers had a three-point shooting rate of 63.6% in a single quarter, and the shooting percentage of the whole team in a single quarter, pay attention, it was the whole team that exceeded 63%. This situation is equivalent to the Lakers' defense, which has completely failed and has been beaten into a sieve.

The Clippers scored 37 points in the first quarter and defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 112-102.

The Lakers played a decent game in the fourth quarter, with 24 points in a single quarter being neither good nor bad, the shooting rate of 45% is also acceptable, and the rebounds and blocks also overpowered the Clippers. So why did it collapse? is because the Clippers' shooting percentage is too high and the outside line is too accurate, which makes the Lakers' defense completely powerless. The second is that the Clippers made 6 steals in this quarter, and Paul alone had 4 steals, plus the situation that did not break but made the Lakers' pass delayed, stalled or even a direct error, you know how fierce the 6 steals in this single quarter were. At the same time, because of Paul's presence, these 6 steals have all turned into Clippers scores without exception. It looks like either the Lakers played too badly in the fourth quarter or the Clippers played too well.

Chris. There is no dispute that Paul is the strongest player tonight, he cut 41 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and 5 steals in the whole game. Paul can be said to be invincible on the outside. At the same time, he scored 41 points in a single game, which also set his playoff scoring record.

The big score was dragged into 3-2.

It's as if everything is in suspense again.

Tang Qian only got 6 points, 15 rebounds, 5 blocks and 1 assist in this game, in fact, his protection of the restricted area is good enough, and it is not only a block that can be used as a successful defense. Reducing the opponent's hits, that's the key. At this point, Tang Qian did a good job tonight, Paul's terrifying state and hit rate were all in his hindrance, and he lost a few, which shows that there is no big problem with his inside protection. It's just that the opponent's state tonight is too fierce, and the Lakers team didn't encounter the "auspicious day of the zodiac". And he is becoming more and more proficient in how to distribute the physical fitness on the offensive and defensive ends, which makes him greatly improve the time he can stay on the court at critical moments and key games.

After this game, of course, there was another round of rumors, and the four major media jointly attacked, saying that Tang Qian did not play well.

The scoring end did not play the responsibility of a boss.

In fact, if you watch the game for a long time, you will really find a very strange thing, whether it is at home or abroad, it seems that the biggest focus on the team's contribution is still scoring. Admittedly, scoring is the highest-order statistic in basketball, and that's fine, after all, basketball is a competitive sport with the goal of scoring. But should the defensive end be overlooked?

Offense buys votes, defense wins, this is an argument they put forward back then, why is it not good now?

So you know, why James wants to play in a big way, this is because the data will occupy the will, so that at least he will be invincible in terms of data. No one can hack him from this aspect.

The so-called all-round data is that there is this benefit, and you have to accept that this style of play can become popular in the whole league in the future, which is not unreasonable. If Tang Qian wants to play like this, the data will definitely not be like this, but his help to the team will be relatively reduced. Besides, he doesn't have the historic level of physical fitness like James.

This offseason, he really has a lot of things to do, and there are a lot of areas that need to be focused on training and improvement.

He didn't have time to relax too much.

Vacation or something, it is not in his plan, at most he will go back to China to see his parents and Yao Ming take over, and the rest is the most suitable to stay in Los Angeles to practice honestly.

An athlete's athletic age is very short, and even if he is only 21 years old, not 25 years old, it doesn't mean that he can waste his time. How many talented players, thinking about tomorrow and tomorrow, finally disappeared from everyone, and finally retired empty-handed? Tang Qian didn't plan to end up wandering around as a veteran, hugging his thighs and mixing rings everywhere.

It's not that a ring from a role player like Horry Fisher isn't worth anything. But if your vision, if your goal is to be a supergiant in league history, a top 20 or 10 league history or even higher, you will know that this kind of ring is not easy to use. Jordan's so-called "cornerstone ring theory" does not include this. In July 2017, the American media cheatsheet put Bill. Russell openly came in front of Jordan, who was second in history, but Jordan himself didn't say anything, but thought it was negotiable. That's the power of the core ring. You try to change people, you put the likes of Horry in front of Jordan and try it, you see if he mocks you or not. When he entered the Hall of Fame, he took out his former high school coach and "whipped the corpse" again. Do you think he'll be so easy to uncover?

That's why Paul still wants to lead the team to the championship now.

No matter how bad it is, he has to do a dual-core ring, and the second master is still clearly like this, and he can't accept it at present.

This kind of ring, unless it is really about to retire for a lifetime, they want to mix one, under normal circumstances, as long as there is still a little oil, they want to get the core ring as much as possible.

Role player rings, until the mountains and rivers are exhausted, they will not choose.

Chris. Paul also shouted that we still have a chance to prove that we are the king of L.A.

Tang Qian has only one response to this: they have no chance.
