Chapter 860 - If You Want to Win, You Have to Change (Big Chapter Plus More to ~)
The first quarter was inextricably linked, and due to the overall fast pace of this era, both sides scored 40 points after the first quarter. At 40-39, the San Francisco Warriors temporarily led by one point.
It looks like it's still ahead for the time being, but it's actually a disadvantage.
Why, because Tang Qian has already felt that the other party is constantly adapting and adjusting the style of play, it is becoming more and more obvious that the "future blocking and dismantling system" that the Warriors have learned "temporarily" has become frequent, and mistakes have increased. It seems that this "surprise" of "surprising victory" has come to an end. Later, you need to move the real guy.
But the real thing, this San Francisco Warriors is not the opponent on the other side, the current Green Shirts are gaining momentum, even if they win this championship, they will win it again in the future, so it is far from time to exhaust and flourish.
In the second quarter, the Warriors began to fatigue, and the Green Army's defensive counterattack style of play began to work wonders.
The more you fight, the more chaotic it gets, the worse it gets.
Except for Oxlade-Chamberlain, this team has no problems with strong offensive points, and it is beginning to show.
The team's tacit understanding and chemistry of the Green Army, used on the defensive end, is completely a symbol of invincibility in this era.
One word. D has a tacit understanding, it is worthy of being a team that has won at least 3456 championships together, this lineup, this confidence, even the current Los Angeles Lakers team can't be compared.
In the eyes of all the people in this green army, there is also a "psychological suggestion" that is almost "self-hypnosis".
The Boston Celtics are invincible! This team is invincible! No one can defeat them! They can beat anyone!
This kind of "superstition" that pervades the whole team, and you really face it, will only make you shudder.
It's as if everyone is a believer in the Green Army, and the fanaticism is beyond the reach of an average team player.
And this is not an atmosphere that appeared overnight, this is the "blood altar" built by the "Cardinal" Auerbach himself. It is an "altar" built with the dreams of countless people and the failures of countless teams.
After a long time, a belief in invincibility began to form.
No matter how you guys play, the last NBA championship trophy is ours from Boston anyway.
It's as simple as logic.
Born in this era, it is really a sadness, this kind of team is too terrible, far from being clearly experienced by those who come after it.
But right now, Tang Qian has no way out, he must win the series.
At halftime, the Bostonians overtook the score, 78-69, leading the San Francisco Warriors by nine points.
It still seems to be in single digits, but the situation, Tang Qian feels that something is not good, and the overall momentum has been taken away by the other party. snatched the past alive. This is really the spirit of a strong team and a hegemon, the San Francisco Warriors are against them, the tailwind ball is okay, once the momentum is snatched away, then the overall competitive state will decline all of a sudden. It's the so-called momentum on the pitch, and if you've played a competitive game, you've got to feel it very well.
The stronger they are, the more resilient they will be to fight this adversity, and the Warriors are clearly not as good as their opponents.
Not as good as this legendary Green Army.
Back in the locker room, head coach Hannum began to ask "Tang Qian" to increase his personal offense and singles, but in Tang Qian's view, this tactical instruction is not too good, because first of all, although his offensive crystal bricks have reached 7, it is still a little far from Zhang Dashuai this season in the original time and space. After all, he is the master who averages 34.7 points per game in the playoffs, and this kind of offensive ability, with only 7 crystal bricks, seems to be a bit out of reach at present.
Secondly, the opponent is also too strong.
This is the second largest defensive strongman in the NBA after Chamberlain. Russell, Tang Qian also tried to attack hard under the basket in a few games before, but without exception, they were all hit by the big hat, this guy's basket deterrence ability is worthy of the top two levels in history, and Chamberlain is on par with Chamberlain. Although the basket protection may be worse than the peak Zhang Dashuai, but the ability to assist in defense, he is also better than the former. Boston No. 6 is simply the pinnacle of defensive reinforcement by several sizes, Garnett, and that overall defensive core ability is a bit too exaggerated.
It can be said that after 3 games and more than half of the 4th game, Tang Qian obviously felt that he was the core of the entire legendary Green Army, and the "super defensive counterattack" of the entire Boston, if he left him, it would suddenly collapse.
In terms of defensive IQ and defensive bonus attributes for the whole team, he is going to outperform the peak Chamberlain.
This is unmatched in the history of the NBA.
Of course, this does not mean that his single defense and basket protection are not good, it can only be said that if there is no Chamberlain, he is the first in the all-round.
However, there is Chamberlain, and his basket protection and single defense are also in the top two levels in history, and no one can shake him anymore.
So Tang Qian raised an objection, but it was replaced by Alex. Hannum dismissed him, who was also a stubborn man, and no one could disobey him until he changed his mind. When he came, he gave Chamberlain a bad seat and declared that he wanted to go head-to-head with the latter, which was also the "only one" in the entire NBA.
Therefore, the San Francisco Warriors lost miserably in the second half, and finally lost to the opponent by as many as 31 points. It's all a disadvantage with a capital letter.
Even Alex. No matter how Hannum roared on the sidelines, Tang Qian had no way to change the overall situation.
He can feel in his heart that since the offensive crystal bricks have increased to 7, his independent scoring ability has improved a lot, and even if he deducts the off-ball offense, he is estimated to be almost close to the league's quasi-first-class scorer. An average of 20~21 points per game is not a problem. To tell the truth, if this were placed in the 2013-2014 season, it would definitely be a very strong scoring ability, and there are not even a few contemporary interior players who are his opponents. After all, it was the era of dinosaur extinction, and the good big men were almost extinct. Tang Qian's interior offense is prominent, that's normal.
But now, the situation is different, and the opponent is "The Lord of the Rings" Bill. Russell.
In the history of the NBA, if you compare the overall defensive ability, he is a solid No.1.
Wouldn't his own offensive ability give him a dish?
Without an average of 35+ points per game, you're embarrassed to say hello to Russell.
Chamberlain's own 64-64 season is close to 37+ points per game in the regular season and close to 35+ in the playoffs, which is already the peak data of super scorers, but playing Russell, there will still be a decline. So it's a bit whimsical to have to fight Tang Qian, who is between the peak of a second-rate scorer and a quasi-first-rate scorer.
Therefore, Tang Qian himself is actually very reluctant to do this.
But the manager didn't give up, and neither did his teammates, so he could only bite the bullet and tell them with a complete defeat that this path would not work.
"Hey~ Wilt, the big score is equalized, why don't I treat you to dinner?" Russell is also very resentful, and after he won the game, he couldn't help but vent all the grievances in his heart before, and this question is the best counterattack. Tang Qian sneered and replied directly: "I understand your kindness, but you know, I just like to treat myself and be the host myself, and I don't really want to go to other people's invitations." So if you're hungry, go eat by yourself, I'm not available. ”
"Really? Wilt, then you have changed a lot in this round of the series, you went to the west, and the whole person was also infected? ”
"People will grow up and change~ What's so strange ~ The world is moving and changing, don't you know?" Tang Qian didn't care what Russell thought in his heart, and blurted out: "So I only have one goal for this round of the series." ”
"Kill you, let my team call the shots, and be the banker."
Although Russell didn't understand why Chamberlain had changed so much all of a sudden, when it came to honor and victory, he would not flinch and be ambiguous: "Really? I'm sorry about this, but this is the only one you can't do. ”
"We'll see." Tang Qian said: "I will wake up the sweet dreams of the entire Bostonians." ”
"Okay, I'll wait." Russell also said: "I'm afraid you don't have this ability." ”
The latter turned his head and was about to leave, when he heard Tang Qian say something that made him extremely annoyed: "It's not you who wait, my opponent has never been you." ”
"When will you be able to go head-to-head with me? My opponent is Boston, it's the whole Celtics. ”
"Do you understand?"
Russell was so angry when he heard this, he said coldly to "Tang Qian": "Let's talk about it when you become a real winner." Wilt! Don't forget, you don't have a championship ring yet. ”
As he spoke, he shook his palm, which means, do you see, I have so many rings that I can't wear it on one hand.
You're still far away!
The next day, before the San Francisco Warriors started training, they were interrupted by Tang Qianyi: "Mr. Hannum, I don't think this kind of play and tactics will work!" If you want to defeat your opponent and end your opponent's streak, I won't be able to rely on my personal attack alone! Alex. Hannum said, "Then what bullshit do you have, why don't you hurry up and say it?" Have you figured out any new techniques and tactics? ”
Alex. Hannum is a very stubborn head coach, well, it seems that famous coaches have this characteristic, so if it weren't for the fact that "Tang Qian" put forward a lot of "advanced tactics" and "advanced systems" before, he would never have paid attention to the advice of one of his players. It doesn't matter if he's a superstar in the league or not, the No.1 on the team, that's all the same.
Tang Qian actually still has some ideas, and the homework he did came in handy again: "Don't take the road of relying on me as the main body of attack to fight the Celtics, this style of play has already been thoroughly studied by the opponent 10,000 times." And it will also increase the rest of the team's dependence on me, which is not a good thing in the long run. ”
"Go on, what other bullshit? That's it? Alex. Hannum's expression was a little dissatisfied, because this was obviously not about coming up with any "new skills and tactics", but simply questioning his own style of play and coaching style.
"Also, I think the team relies too much on me on the offensive end, so a lot of the ball doesn't feel involved at all." Tang Qian did not hesitate, and continued: "A lot of balls are directly approached by me after dribbling over half court, and there is no independent offensive awareness at all, which makes it particularly easy for the Celtics to see through our offense and passing. ”
"I don't know what you're talking about? The question is, what if you don't fight like this? You're the most offensive guy in the league, who do you not attack??? Alex. Hannum asked loudly. Tang Qian was not angry, he finally threw out his long-brewing answer: "Let me be the core of the defense, attract attention, and then the rest of the people shoot, and when the perimeter is opened up and the Boston people's defense is dispersed, then I will choose the opportunity to shoot, isn't it more reasonable?" Mr. Hannham? ”
Tang Qian is actually not talking nonsense, because a few seasons later, that is, in the 66-67 season, how did Chamberlain lead the team to win the championship? It's not about scoring, it's about playing like Russell's defensive core. Moreover, Chamberlain's passing talent is much stronger than Russell's, so coupled with his famous offensive reputation, it is enough for Tang Qian to attract the attention of the Green Army's defense.
After all, this season, Chamberlain is still a complete offensive monster, what passing? What should be done? What assists? That's not what he's supposed to do. So a sudden come like this can also catch the Celtics off guard again.
Before the 66-67 season, Chamberlain had never averaged more than 4.5 assists per game in the playoffs, and only 3.3 assists per game in the 63-64 playoffs. Such assist data is obviously unqualified, at least it does not play the assist ability and assist talent that he should have at all.
The assist statistics of that year were far more stringent than the current calculations, and any coherent action with the ball and a few dribbles was considered an assist, which was impossible at that time. Therefore, Chamberlain's assist ability, put into modern times, can be more perverted.
Brush? Remember the "King of Forced Kings" Larry. Bird once said something like this, if you lose, you are called brush, and if you win, it is called a slap! It's as simple as that.
Come to think of it, it's true, Larry. Bird is a master of language, not just trash talk, but also concluding remarks with truth. It has to be admired.
Tang Qian knows very well how Chamberlain blocked Boston's eight-game hegemony, and he also knows very well how he got the first championship ring in his life at the end, so this change must be made. Otherwise, relying on him alone, it would be difficult to win this game.
However, there are also a few problems here, this Warriors team is not as good scorers as the 76ers in the 66-67 season, at least the latter has 2 20+ points in addition to Chamberlain himself. And this San Francisco Warriors team is much inferior, taking Chamberlain away and not having a 15+ scoring point, the highest is Tom Mechery, who can score 13.5 points in the regular season, so Alex Hannam feels a little unhappy and understandable.
"You have such a strong scoring ability, if you don't score, can you let people with low shooting percentage and poor scoring ability score?" Hannum said, "You're running away!" Is it evading responsibility, you know??? ”
"Besides, defensive core, are you better than Russell?"
This season, Zhang Dashuai, whether in the regular season or the playoffs, lost to Russell in rebounds per game, which is also one of the few seasons in which Russell defeated the former head-on in rebounding. Moreover, Chamberlain has never played the position of pure defensive core before, and has always been the offensive core, so how can he suddenly change like this, how can he achieve Bill, who has played for most of his life. Russell???
Isn't that a joke???
Only Tang Qian himself knows that he is now a stronger defensive ability and rebounding ability than Zhang Dashuai this season, after the "demigod descends" is retained, his defensive state is taken from the peak of the latter, which is enough to compete and even suppress Bill. Russell too. And the core of the defense, he's in the current space, hasn't he been doing this all the time, playing like this?
What are you not used to talking about???
Therefore, Tang Qian insisted on his opinion, he was not at all like Alex. Hannum compromised.
The latter jumped to his feet in anger, but it still didn't change the former's thoughts.
For them, it may be just a series and a finals, but for me, it's a matter of life and death.
What do I have to look ahead and scruple about?
As long as he can win, I don't care what offensive core or defensive core he has, I just know that you once used this set to break the Boston people's dream of "nine consecutive hegemony". All I know is that this is the "ready-made method" for Chamberlain to get his first championship ring. Am I a fool if I don't refer to this?
At the beginning of the fifth game of the finals, the game was moved to the Boston Garden Arena, because the 2-3-2 system of the finals was only implemented in 1985, so this round of Tianwang Mountain away from home is extremely important.
If you win, you may be able to reverse the decline in morale and psychology, and if you lose, it is estimated that the back will be suspended.
Relying on this group of people to win 2 consecutive games in the finals, no matter how you look at it, it's a bit of a fool's dream, after all, the opponent is not a rookie, it is the 8-consecutive hegemon in history, the legendary Celtic.
As the basketball was thrown high, the G5 of this round of the series began.
Now Tang Potential's "small tricks" are basically used up, and if he wants to win, he must rely on his real strength.
"Wilt, you can play with us like this, it's good enough, you can leave the game with peace of mind and watch us lift the trophy."
Tang Qian looked at Russell, and countered as soon as he opened his mouth: "You are not as good as me in everything, what is there to drag?" This year's championship trophy, our San Francisco Warriors are bound to win, I ...... It's also inevitable! ”
"You can't do it, Wilt, the little trick is over, and it's going to be Boston Celebration Time."
"Hmph, I hope you can still laugh like this after losing G5."
