Chapter 1193: Rondo Becomes a True Defender?
The Warriors played too delicately for many people to feast their eyes on, but the Lakers also made adjustments. After the timeout, it was strictly enforced by Larry. Brown's tactical strategy, after missing a shot on the offensive end, immediately retreats from the defense, and does not pay attention to offensive rebounds, which makes the Warriors' chances of trying to find a mismatch switch to play quickly is small. Then on the defensive end, Rondo stared at Curry and Butler stared at Klay. Thompson, after blocking and dismantling, adopted a large number of defensive changes and supplementary defense strategies to deal with it.
It's best to force them into the inside to shoot, so that you can interrupt the previous outside touch.
And the Lakers' defensive system is very good, and because of the existence of Tang Qian, they can try to force the opponent inside, block one side, put it aside, and let the opponent try to get as close to the Lakers' No. 29 as possible. Isn't this a defensive model for the Spurs? Well, not to mention, it's true, but the Spurs' ultimate defensive barrier is Tim. Duncan is just that. But this defensive pattern wasn't created by Popovich, it was originally Larry. Brown's masterpiece, just Larry. Brown didn't have a lot of time with the Spurs at the time, so he didn't make much of a name. Popovich just carried this forward and turned it into one of the 20-year defensive weapons of the entire Spurs captain.
This period of the Lakers' defense has worked, with faster positioning, faster rotation, and a clearer defensive and pick-and-roll play, which has allowed the Warriors' scoring state to be curbed to a certain extent. The Lakers are slowly closing the gap.
When Cole saw this, he made a change, don't you want to be blocked and dismantled, and then pounce on the outside first? Very good, then I'll let you pounce and make a cocoon for yourself. How to do it? After Green blocked the outside line, the outside line passed out, and Green popped up a three-point shot.
This set actually makes many people unable to defend, especially when Curry and Thompson come to the touch, it is really a small vacancy to shoot. So under the trade-off, they can only bet on Green, betting that Green will not be able to project in. How can I say this, it's easy to say about other seasons, but this season, it's all about finding shots. Why? With the Warriors' 73-win season, do you know what Green's three-point shooting percentage is? He is only in the early 3-2 in his career, which is actually okay, after all, he has no chance to shoot hard, but it is definitely not accurate. And in the 73-win season, Green's sudden evolution is also a key factor in the Warriors' becoming unstoppable. Not to mention anything else, Green's three-point shooting rate this season is close to 38.8% and close to 3 to 9, just ask if you are afraid. That's a top-tier three-point shooting percentage of nearly 4 percent. It's much higher than usual, I don't know how much higher. So if you want to let go of Green this season, it's to find a shot.
Green, whose three-point shooting has reached the peak of his career, really dares to shoot you.
Especially the top-arc ball-holding tactics they played, as long as Green is on the three-point line, it will be extremely difficult to disintegrate.
So...... Green made a three-point shot, brushed, and scored again, breaking the momentum of the Lakers to narrow the score gap in one go.
It's the equivalent of breaking Larry. One of Brown's set-up sessions, Larry. Brown saw that there was a bit of a gloom in it, but he didn't choose to call a timeout, because with the current lineup, it is impossible to do everything. Because there is a point of defensive rotation is a problem, a problem that is not usually seen, and when facing a super strong team, it will be highlighted. However, this point is one of the star players in the team now, and the scoring firepower loses an important point, so ......
I can only bet that Green will miss the shot, after all, compared to Curry, it is still Green who is much less of a threat.
The game entered a stage that was not very good for the Lakers, and it was not a good thing to go on like this, so someone had to step up and score. Withstand this wave. Tang Qian has been slowing down for a long time, asking for the ball again, and now the Lakers need a success rate. And the Lakers' No. 29 is the biggest success rate guarantee for the entire Lakers team. At a time when he was in urgent need of stable scoring, this season, Tang Qian has gradually become the Lakers' No. 1 scoring point.
Green still wanted to repeat the old trick, come to a fake defense, and let Tang Qian pass the ball, but Tang Qian ignored the ball and hit it hard against Bogut. Bogut is really speechless, he is also a very good defender in this league, even if he has no defensive ability this season, he is definitely not bad. After all, there are only 2 positions in the center's defensive formation, which is obviously more competitive than the rest of the positions. But there is no way for him to really take this No. 29, he has no way to do this game from beginning to end, and even the most infuriating thing is ...... Obviously sometimes I know how the other party is going to fight, but I still can't do anything.
It's like this ball, he has judged it, but what? The opponent has a "tank breakthrough", and he will go up if he pushes him along.
It's as odious as that No. 23 of the Cavaliers.
No, it's even more infuriating, shocking.
The Warriors used a lot of pick-and-rolls or illegal covers to make the Lakers' defense very unstable, as if they would hit the "wall" everywhere without paying attention. It's a painful feeling, but it's one of the Golden State Warriors' key features this season.
The power of this set of tactics, Larry. Brown was slightly shocked, and he admitted that he still underestimated this "second-year rookie coach" and the tactical evolution of the new era, and there were some things that exceeded his expectations. For the first time this season, the Lakers' defensive system has been broken. Larry. Brown began to get serious, not just for this game, but also for the next few competitions with the Warriors and even the playoff matchups. This team is much stronger than he imagined, and it can be regarded as one of the strongest system teams he has ever seen. The Lakers' team tacit understanding has not yet reached the level of the Pistons in 04, and the more they deal with this kind of off-ball super team, the more they need tacit understanding and chemistry between teams, or ...... Surprise move?.
But now, what to take?
Larry. Brown was unusually quiet, his eyes unmoving, not knowing what was going on in his head.
The Warriors missed the ball, and the rebound was protected by the Lakers, who gave Tang Qian and continued to play inside.
Tang attacked the basket and Green assisted, but he was still beaten in, and it was still a powerful and heavy buckle.
Green fouled, went to the free throw line, added free throws, missed, and the Warriors attacked.
The Warriors are another mobile blocker, so angry that Rondo is about to blow up, he was knocked crooked, and he could only watch Curry take a step forward, shoot the basketball, and brush ~, fortunately, it is only a long 2 points, otherwise he will be depressed to death.
During this time, the Warriors were out of action, and it became very difficult, at least not now, to completely prevent them. Tang Qian knew what to do, and now he needed to attack, stabilize the situation, and wait for the Warriors' shooter team to feel it. There is no other way. The Warriors take advantage of the team's more mature and tacit understanding, and the more they play without the ball and the more they play in cover, the more they need the whole team to defend to contain it. It's not just one person who is being tested.
But the Lakers' team chemistry and team maturity are obviously not as good as the Warriors, which is not usually obvious, and now it seems that it has suddenly become a fatal gap. Other teams can't catch it, but the Warriors can.
Someone needs to hold on, otherwise the game will be spent quickly.
Tang Qian began to keep playing singles in the low post, and Bogut even tried to go around the front, but No. 29 is not Yao Ming, his athleticism is the strongest column of big guys in the entire NBA history, if you want to use the front guard, it is really to send points. Tang Qian directly asked Rondo to hang the pass deeply, he took the ball and dunked it, and Green gave up jumping on the ball, because it was impossible to defend it.
The Warriors double-screened on a wing, and Curry drilled out for a three-pointer, which attracted two Lakers players to immediately go over and make a kill. Don't forget, Stephen. Curry, in addition to being a super scorer, he's also a No. 1 player. As the No. 1 position, have you forgotten all about passing and distributing the ball? He's not the kind of pseudo-point guard, Curry's individual passing organization and assist ability is not the best in the league, but it is good enough. So he saw the opportunity and passed it back inside, Green cut on the wing, and flew towards the Lakers' basket with the ball.
He has to pull up and dunk a ball, and the sprint space and jump time are sufficient, enough to play a big dunk.
Green's desire to perform has never been weak, and this opportunity will not be missed.
But he was only halfway through the flight, and he was blocked by a huge figure, it was Tang Qian, after the body contacted, his five fingers formed a palm, and he fanned the ball away from Green. The Lakers attacked, Tang Qian had a back on his head, then quickly turned inside, shook past Bogut, and then held the ball in one hand and violently attacked the basket. Bang dang~
The Warriors drew a foul on the Lakers' offensive round, making 2 of 2 free throws.
Tang Qian broke through in the low post and attacked hard under the basket, causing Bogut to foul, and he also made 2 free throws in 2 from the free throw line.
After playing back and forth several times, Kerr felt a little stunned, because the Warriors are indeed maintaining offensive efficiency and are not doing a big problem, but why is the score difference not widened? Isn't that strange?
It stands to reason that it's long overdue for "garbage time".
Kerr saw the Lakers' No. 29 once again standing at the free throw line, and he suddenly realized in his heart that it was this No. 29 who was "making trouble".
Interesting, it depends on how long you can hold on.
The Warriors are still the same set of empty cut runs + a lot of mobile covers, and the Lakers missed a 3-pointer and the opportunity came out, but unfortunately, they didn't shoot it at all. This is also one of the problems of the Lakers, they lack the stability of the three-point shot, and the most accurate in the main lineup is Chris, who is the No. 4 position. Bosh. Secondly, the main rhythm is also lost, and if the pace is not slowed, the Lakers' three-point problem will become more and more obvious. Originally, it wasn't a problem that the defense was OK, but now the defense is a little ineffective.
Rondo's brain was very clear and he knew that he had to bite at this time, so he stuffed a lot of the ball to No. 29 on the inside line, and let Tang Qian solve the problem by himself. There is no way, the main reason is that the Warriors are not only unparalleled in the world in attack and lead the league, but their defense is also one of the strongest members of the league. Therefore, Rondo has no way to directly assist many balls, and a team that integrates offense and defense is indeed difficult to get.
Generally speaking, now those who know the ball can see that the Lakers are suppressed by the opponent, and they have the upper hand on the field.
Because the outside line is not accurate, the defense of Tang Qian is getting tighter and tighter, and the intensity of the defense is getting stronger and stronger. After finally making a foul, the Lakers called a timeout. Come on, Larry. Brown said, "I'll change people later, Nick, Jimmy, you come down and rest first." β
Nick. Young replaces Butler? Why???
Can someone tell us why? Nick. Yang himself thinks it's a little incredible, okay.
Larry. Brown looked at Nick, who was still a little confused. Yang opened his mouth and said, "If you don't fight well, don't go to the end, you know?" β
"Uh, yes, got it." Nick. Yang Wenyan nodded, but he still didn't know why.
Larry. Brown took out the tactical board and said, "Don't look at me, look at the tactical board." The Warriors played so well that their cover really made me feel uncomfortable, but the referee didn't blow the whistle and couldn't do anything. Appealing is also an afterthought. Now we're going to do it...... "Larry. Brown said as he drew tactics, "Do you understand? β
This, this is? Want to attack? To attack???
No, isn't it? Isn't this old stubborn the one who advocates winning defensively? Got the wrong medicine?
Larry. Brown seemed to guess everyone's thoughts: "The defense can't win now, if you don't attack, you can't do it, and we'll talk about it after this paragraph." β
After this paragraph, again? However, can we get by with this paragraph? They are all professional players, and they are very aware of the terrible team in front of them, and it is estimated that there are really few teams that can stop them in the regular season this season. Lakers, okay?
"The interior offense is the mainstay, the rest wait for the ball, and whoever goes to help defend will shoot three points."
So put on Nick. Is Young here to increase the power of the three-point shot? Nick. Young has made a good 40 percent three-point shot this season, and he is indeed the Lakers with the highest three-point shooting percentage. If you want to strengthen the three points, this point is understandable.
"Except for the heat, you're all ready to shoot threes, and you're also Rajan, didn't you say you have a secret weapon to show everyone? Now, I feel like it's time. We're the Warriors this season. Rondo was stunned as he looked at Larry. Brown said, "Sir, are you really sure you want it now?" It looks like this so-called "secret weapon" Rondo only told Larry. Brown alone.
"Right now, against the rest of the teams, we don't have to keep it a secret." Larry. Brown seems to have high hopes for this Lakers team: "We don't have many opponents this season, and this one in front of us is one. β
This is said domineeringly, as if there are few teams in the whole league that he can look up to.
You give him the right lineup and the right cards, and he's got the job.
"Okay~" Rondo smiled, "Then let's try it, I'm already impatient." Mr. Brown. β
When he was on the court, Nick. Yang couldn't help but ask, "Rajan, what kind of secret weapon is it?" Do you still have a secret weapon? So bite? β
"We'll find out later." Rondo said: "I worked hard for an entire offseason to slap the faces of some people from the outside world. "So Nick. Yang was even more curious: "Can't you tell me first?" β
"I can't." Rondo doesn't give Nick at all. Yang had room to discuss, and refused.
Celestial Empire Sports Station.
"Now that the Lakers are in crisis, they rely too much on Don to sneak this section." Meteor shower tracts.
"The more you can't open the outside, the more pressure you put on the inside, and the opponent can defend smaller and smaller." Zhang Weiping said: "At this time, since there is no way to stop them, we need to keep up with the offensive end." Tang Qian alone is so tired. β
Tang Qian returned to the free throw line and made 1 of 2 free throws, but this was the first free throw missed, so the Warriors opened the baseline shot.
The Warriors are still the same, after a pass, Curry pulled away too much attention from the Lakers, the ball was given to Green, Bosh couldn't defend it, and Green scored three points into the net.
"Very good, beautiful three-point shot, I have seen the goddess of victory in this game beckoning to us wow~"
"If the Lakers can't keep up with this, they will be taken away by us in waves."
"It's like taking the previous 15 games?"
"Yes, it's like taking away the first 15 games."
Tang Qian held the ball, and as soon as he was about to act, he found that he was accompanied by at least 2 people ready to assist in defense, which seemed to be inaccurate on the periphery, so that the Warriors could also rest assured that the defensive circle was shrinking smaller and smaller. This ball Tang Qian is out very quickly, it depends on whether the outside line can get in, Nick. Yang catches the ball, three-pointer, brush~, hits!!
βYesοΌ I really never miss Mr. ~haha~" Nick. Young is still such a living treasure, but his three-point shot is very life-saving, allowing the Lakers' outside firepower to re-declare that we can't shoot. The Warriors can't suppress Tang Qian like that anymore, right?
The Warriors played the ball as a "tactic," the full name of which is ".," a tearing tactic mixed with a lot of pick-and-rolls and covers. The main thing is that the shooter turns into a cover wall in the process of air cutting after winding out, and when there is preparation, the effect is not necessarily good, after all, the size and volume are placed there, but suddenly it can have a surprise effect. For example, Curry's baseline was raised, and it suddenly became a cover wall in the elbow area, and the two Lakers players were restrained by him, and then the cover wall on the other side, Bogut, became a smooth hand, brushed, and hit the board into the net.
"Hot, you're going to lose." Curry directly demonstrated to Tang Qian, because the rest of the people did not seem to him to have this qualification.
The Lakers attacked, Tang Qian held the ball in the low post, but found that the opponent took a zone mark, and the outside line was fixed and defended. That is, the low post inside is still a shrink defense, but a person can be assigned to specifically target the Lakers' Knicks. Poplar. Kerr's reaction was really fast, and he basically didn't give the Lakers a second chance. Pass the ball to Bosh, Green is too fast to rebound, it is easy to cause a dead ball situation that wastes time, and Bosh wants to hit Green now, it is difficult to score. Green has been the No. 1 defense in the original space-time league in the past few seasons. With the current Bosh, the singles success rate will not be too high.
Ariza also has Thompson to take care of at any time, and it seems that the defense is perfect, but there are still holes.
That's it, in Cole's opinion, it shouldn't be a problem.
That's the Lakers' No. 1 spot, Rajan. Rondo, Rondo was basically released, and if he didn't get to the three-point line, there wouldn't be much defensive attention focused on him at all.
This is like a comic called Slam Dunk, the Lakers are a bit similar to Xiangbei, the most accurate point on the outside is taken care of one-on-one, the low area defense on the inside, only the No. 1 position on the outside, the defensive pressure is the least, and there is no one in front of 2 meters at all. How similar is this to Xiangbei Miyagi in the comics? There are no baskets.
I'm going to let you go.
Letting you go strengthens the defense elsewhere, doesn't it?
Angry? Depressed? Who told you not to forbid? Who can blame? James' instability in the middle of the shot has been targeted, not to mention Rondo.
Steve. Kerr saw the ball in Rondo's hand and smiled in a low voice, "Larry. Mr. Brown, this game, I won. After saying that, he was stunned for a moment, because the most unlikely point on the court actually shot a three-point shot from the top arc? Is this gambling and luck?
It's not just the Celestial Empire Sports Table. The American media and netizens who watched the live broadcast on the Internet also shouted sadly:
Lang Shen, don't, just do your "Miyagi" well, don't learn what other people's "Mitsui" should do!
It's over! Rondo actually shot, or a three-point shot, it seems that the Lakers are really gone.
The Warriors are too strong to be the undefeated team this season, can't the Lakers make trouble for them?
This year's overall champion in the Bay Area!!
The Warriors' on-site commentator even started to celebrate in advance: "Rondo made a three-point shot, and the Lakers are ready to give up on themselves, right?" Unfortunately, they are one of the most entangled opponents with us this season. I thought I'd make it to the fourth quarter. β
"It's okay, after all, after holding on for so long, you still have to give them a thumbs up, don't you?"
"Rondo three-point shot, oh~ what a wonderful arc, I seem to have heard the iron...... Well? Enter? Entered? β
Warriors live commentator Bob. Gerald almost didn't let his tongue knot.
Rondo slapped his palm, with a look of "self-surprise" that made people want to punch him.
I guess it's luck.
Not only did the whole audience think so, but Kerr also thought so, and then after the Warriors missed the shot, the defensive end continued the style of play just now, with interior zone defense + one person on the outside staring at Nick. Poplar. Tang Qian saw the opportunity and passed back to Rondo in the top arc, in front of Rondo, it was still within 2 meters, and no one was marked. Even Green was saying loudly: "Let him vote!" He wouldn't dare anyway! β
This is to want Rondo to shoot, because Rondo shoots three points, which is basically equal to nothing.
At least that was the case before.
Outcome...... Brush ~ and enter again ~
This, that's embarrassing.
Even the whole Lakers team was a little boiling and said, "I'm rubbing, are you lucky or did you really practice three-point shooting?" β
"This is your secret weapon?"
"I can't call you Lang center anymore, I should call you Lang defender."
Rondo also pretended to bow his head and look at the sky forty-five degrees: "I am actually a natural shooter, but I didn't work hard before." Now that everyone is pushing me, I can only reluctantly make it difficult. β
Although he looks very underplayed, it has to be said that Rondo's activation outside the three-point line allowed the Lakers to regain energy, and also disrupted the Warriors' plans and attempts to end the game early.
Tang Qian himself was a little surprised, but if he had lived one more year in his previous life, he would definitely know that from this season, Rondo's three-point shooting has officially improved and officially become an item in the arsenal. This season, he shot a career-high 36.5 percent from three-point range. With such a hit rate, if you put him 2 meters, it will naturally be projected. What about next season? The original time and space reached a 37.6% three-point shooting rate. Even in the 17-18 season, Rondo's three-point shooting rate in the playoffs exceeded 4 percent! became one of the biggest contributors to the Pelicans' breakthrough in the first round that year.
The shot of about 2+ is not high enough, but at least it is much better than the previous average of 0.0 points per game, three points in the empty position, you let him go, he really dares to shoot now, dare to go in.
Can Rondo make three-pointers? What is impossible in this world, in this future?
This ball, to win!!
