Chapter 1051: The Lakers' Gradually Exposed Problems (Big Chapter~)

This is quite domineering, and it has mixed reviews in the United States, but it is applauded in China.

In the past, those toutions were mainly forcible blowing, and the players' own strength was not strong enough, so discerning people knew that they were very embarrassed, and they couldn't deceive themselves into self-hypnosis together. But now that there is such a strong person, or a compatriot of the country, isn't it a waste if you don't brag about it? It's time to blow it. This is the second MVP ranking, and this is the first Chinese in NBA history who has the potential to win the regular season MVP trophy. True fans, who can not be excited?

Look at the Internet, a large number of Lakers fans and Tang Qian fans are swiping the screen, and countless posts with 6666666 and posts with domineering appear on the post bar and forums. The emotions in China have been suppressed for too long, and after Yao Ming, there are many people who have tried to land in the NBA, but none of them can really stand firm. In addition, it is now the "dark period" of the national men's basketball team, an international competition, and not a win, how can you not be depressed by the fans? So, they need to explode, and they also need to vent.

Now the Lakers' No. 29 has become this kind of outlet, and too many people have begun to cheer for him.

James has a black face, after all, as the other party said, record and data, which one of him can compare to the latter now?

The Lakers are now second only to the Warriors, and Tang Qian's data is better than James', including the so-called "high-level data" that ESPN likes to quote, and the same is true, Tang Qian is comprehensively suppressed. The advantage of rebounding and blocks makes him a blind presence in all major high-level statistics. In fact, you can slowly find that since Tang Qian began to rise, fewer and fewer James fans have begun to mention what efficiency value on the Internet, and even if they want to mention it, they will consciously add a prefix, named: Outside line PER first.

Why? This should have been a little bit longer coming.

Why in advance?

The reason is Tang Qian, his efficiency value is off the charts, and he can't breathe anyone.

This is also very normal, why did Zhang Dashuai have the highest efficiency value back then, "only" 31.8, which was the first in the history of a single season? Isn't it because he ate a lot of the reason why the NBA officials didn't count the blocks in that era? Although the data already exists, the on-site statisticians and sideline reporters will record it, and even the TV broadcast will be typed, but the NBA official just doesn't count it. It's really bad luck.

Otherwise, with his cap numbers beyond the sky, the efficiency value will teach everyone how to behave.

It doesn't matter if you're Jordan or James.

Including the playoffs, it will scare you.

Because in per, the weight of the cap is very heavy, which is also the capital that Tang Qian can dominate the alliance.

The higher the level multiplier of your and the league's average blocks, the more weight you have in this area.

How much does Tang Qian exceed the league average now? Does the league average average 1 cap per game?

He can beat John in fifth place on the block list. Hansen's 2.0 times more than tripled, how much does the league average?

So since Tang Qian was born, no James has always put per, and if he wants to hang it, he also adds a prefix. Especially in China, if you say that James is hanging from the sky, someone will immediately tell Tang Qian that he is a cut taller than him.

is always hit like this, so naturally there is no interest in boasting about the PER every day, and even on the Internet, some people have begun to call for the game to return to the real and talk less about high-level data. This made a lot of Tang Mi cry and laugh.

Why, at this time, I know that the so-called artificially created high-order data formulas are not easy to use? Unscientific? Going back to the real thing? Why haven't I seen you say that before? The reason is well known to everyone, and there is nothing to talk about.

On March 24, U.S. time, the Lakers played against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

In this game, Wei Shao returned, but everyone on the field predicted that the Lakers would win.

Because the Thunder have basically left the ranks of the playoff team this year.

But Wei Shao can be regarded as finding a new direction, after the All-Star Game, except for the few games he missed, basically if you look at the data, all of them are quasi-triple-doubles! That's kind of scary! And obviously there is also the feeling of more and more brushing, the more rhythmic it is.

Before the game, Wei Shao took the initiative to talk to Tang Qian: "Hot~ Thank you for your suggestion~ I think my goal for playing recently has been much clearer." ”

"Heh~ Russell, you're exaggerating, do you want to average three doubles per game and challenge the big O miracle of the year?" Tang Qian could swear to the sky, he just said this casually, but he didn't know that it seemed to touch some of the other party's nerves: "Hot, you said that if I did it, would the alliance be scared to death?" "I don't know if I'm scared to death, but I'll definitely give you an MVP to play, after all, it's an average of three doubles per game, this is too scary, I can't help but give you a vote if I want to."

"Really? Averaged three doubles per game, it seems really difficult. Wei Shao muttered to himself: "But it doesn't seem to be ......."

Tang Qian's words are equivalent to burying a big hole for himself in the future, but now he doesn't know.

The so-called "self-inflicted, can't live", this "current world newspaper" Tang Qian can only be so angry that he almost vomits blood in the future.

But the game is the game, and Wei Shao doesn't talk about relationships and feelings when he plays, it has nothing to do with his style of play, he is this character. This is exactly what Tang Qian meant, off the field, off the field, on the field, no friends, only opponents, only enemies.

Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Because there is no Durant "constrained", Wei Shao is the absolute boss of the Thunder this season, look at the data, the scoring list is first, with an average of nearly 29 points per game, and it is estimated that according to the rhythm after the All-Star break, the average of 29 points per game is stable. This is significantly more fierce than his average score per game in the original time and space, and it is very likely that Tang Qian, the little butterfly, helped him press a few switches.

Anyway, this season, his state, after the All-Star break, has become more and more fierce.

However, he didn't score so easily against the Lakers, after all, his "turtle impact" will be greatly weakened and even greatly limited under the basket guarded by the Lakers' No. 29 town. This was felt by Wei Shao last season. But now that Durant is not here, he is the No.1 on the team, and he has an obligation to step up and score.

But the situation is not good, in the first quarter Wei Shao shot 0 of 5, if it wasn't for the free throw to score 4 points, he would have hung up in this quarter of the game.

However, it is still similar to the previous game, the Thunder made an interior defensive marking change, Ibaka went to defend Tang Qian, Enes. N'Golo Kante dominated the number 4 position. Covington still had a tough time at this point, because Kante was also a 260+ pound big man with back-to-back ability. Covington weighs almost 50 pounds lighter than him, which is an absolute disadvantage.

Even if Kante's physical fitness is not as good as Tang Qian, in the face of such a large tonnage difference, he still plays well.

When Tang Qian was on the court, he scored 8 points, and when Tang Qian finished at the end of the first quarter, Kanter scored another 7 points, scoring a total of 15 points and 10 rebounds in a single quarter!! After Don dived off the court, he seemed to be incarnated as a Tyrannosaurus rex, and his offensive state brought him to other aspects, and Kanter was a hero for the Thunder in this quarter. Wei Shao also brushed up 5 assists in a single quarter through him.

Although he scored only 4 points, he had 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 rebounds, which is also very good.

In the second quarter, D'Antoni let Yi Jianlian play, and cooperated with Thackeray to guard the inside, the effect can only be said to be average, and Yi Jianlian was a little explosive in the last game to be able to block the opponent, in this case, he can't do it every time. How to say that Kante is also a peak of his career this season, averaging close to 19 points per game after coming to the Thunder, without a little hard power, he can't do it. Yi Jianlian can only be said to be decent in this game, not good, not too bad, at least under his hard work, the effect is still better than Roberton. Covington defended a little better. Because Tang Qian is not there, the interior defensive ability has declined extremely, and the outside defense of the substitute lineup is also very average, so D'Antoni simply decided that this period of time is to strengthen offensive investment, defensive meaning, just don't miss people.

This also helped the Lakers steal some points back in bench time, so as not to make the score difference too big.

After Tang Qian came back in the second half of the second quarter, the Lakers came with a wave of outside attacks, shooting 3 of 5 three-pointers, of which Tang Qian's frontcourt rebound was crucial. It was because of this rebound that after the pass went out, there was a chance for Meeks to hit a three-point shot.

It's also an overrun goal.

The Lakers regained the lead.

Wei Shao didn't rest for long before he returned to the game, and it can be seen that he also wants to compete with Tang Qian in this game.

However, in addition to 2 mid-range shots, his impact on the inside line still accounts for the vast majority of the number of times he has finished without a problem.

Thankfully, Thunder head coach Scott. Brooks still has a few brushes, after all, he is the one who has won the best coach, and he made a bold attempt. Let Ibaka take the lead in the rest of the game.

Since the beginning of last season, Ibaka has not been a pure blue-collar worker, with an average of 15+ per game is considered a threshold, but is it a bit far from dealing with the Lakers' No. 29 like this? Now Tang Qian has made a name for himself in the league, especially on the defensive end, no NBA player dares to say that he is not ruthless defensively. If Ibaka is the main attacker...... You won't be covered as a pig's head by the other party, right? Wei Shao was very worried about this problem in his heart. It's not that you look down on Ibaka, it's just that you have to deal with the current Tang Qian, you don't have an average of 25+ per game, you're not a first-class scorer, so you're still talking a fart.

Aren't so many people a lesson from the past?

Besides, even if he is a first-class scorer, if he attacks the interior of the Lakers' No. 29 guard, he will lose more and win less, and he will not be able to get anything. This is James, Wade, Cousins, Davis, etc., there are examples inside and outside.

Scott. Is Mr. Brooks crazy?

However, the next situation made Wei Shao look at the head coach with admiration.

The person who can get the best coach really has absolute ability, at least not the kind of weak team interim head coach who messes around.

Celestial Empire Sports Station.

"The Thunder chose to ...... after a timeout Let Ibaka attack? What does this mean? Is it a bait? Coach Zhang? Meteor Shower was a little stunned when he saw this, because of this scene, he felt a little "nonsensical". It's impossible that the opposing head coach doesn't know that the Lakers' No. 29 defense is powerful, right? So let Ibaka come? Isn't it sent to death?

"Uh-huh...... What ...... this" Zhang Weiping didn't seem to expect the Thunder team to arrange it like this, and said a little unexpectedly: "It's very likely that it's just a starting point, this may be some kind of tactical cooperation of the Thunder team." ”

It's a tactic, but it's also a way to get Ibaka to attack.

Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Tang Qian was also wondering, because no matter how you look at it, it's a bit "nerve", no matter how bad his state is, there is no pressure to prevent Ibaka. An average of 14~15 points per game is a scoring point, which is attacking in front of you, isn't it a food delivery?

Serge Ibaka comes on before Scott. Brooks also patted him on the arm, which apparently meant to cheer the former up.

It's even more weird.

When Ibaka saw that the whole Lakers team felt like a joker and a fool, he also had the urge to prove himself. Also, isn't it just for the sake of the killing move that I have been preparing for so long? Oriental hot, you wait and see.

I'm completely different from what I used to be.

Five seconds later, the basketball fell into the Lakers' net bag, which made the Lakers a little stunned.

Because, it's actually a three-point shot???

Tang Qian was also a little stunned on the inside, because the opponent had no intention of coming in at all.

The Thunder overtook the score.

The Lakers attacked on this side, Tang Qian helped make a cover near the free throw line, and the team's No. 4 and No. 5 positions were interspersed with runs. Hinrich got his chance. Hinrich made a three-pointer, but it was a little crooked and didn't shoot into the basket. Hinrich is also seriously aging, and injuries have long since made him no longer as brave as he used to be.

Just looking at the data, it can be seen that Hinrich's career three-point shooting has reached more than 3 into 7, but this season it is only around 3 into 4, which is not counting, including his always steady long-distance 2-point shooting has also slipped seriously, 4 into 1 to around 3 to 6. Under normal circumstances, this is his penultimate season, and when it comes to this, the NBA floor will have to say goodbye to him.

It was a long rebound that the Thunder grabbed at Wesley. Johnson got the ball in front of him.

quickly pushed the fast break, but was followed by Ariza, the only remaining defensive warrior on the Lakers' court, and he didn't fully play this wave. After breaking through, although there was no Tang Qian inside, the chances were not very good. Wei Shao was about to make a move, but he swept his eyes and saw Serji standing in the bottom corner. Ibaka. He instantly decided to pass the ball through.

Ibaka catches the ball, makes an open three-point shot, brushes, and hits.

It's a bit of a shock.

The Lakers were a bit confused, making a bad pass on the dribble, and the Thunder were in control of the final offense in the final moments of the second quarter. Thunder Wei Shao slowly consumed time in the top arc, and when it was almost time, he made a gesture, Ibakati came up to block the demolition, Tang Qian naturally followed, Wei Shao passed Xin Li Qi with the help of the blocking and demolition, and the arrow step went straight to the inside.

Tang Qian followed behind, at this distance, as long as Wei Shao dared to make a layup, he would have 8 percent certainty to defend it, and 5 percent certainty to give the latter a big hat. But Wei Shao's ball suddenly threw back after breaking through 2 steps, and this direction was......

The direction in which Ibaka just popped up after a high block.

Left 45-degree three-point line.

Tang Qian turned around, but saw that the other party had already shot, and the orange basketball crossed the sky, and then accurately stabbed into the Lakers' net.

Three more points.

Ibaka made 3 of 4 three-pointers in the first half.

This made the Lakers' rhythm chaotic all of a sudden.

The Thunder went into the locker room 58-52 with a six-point lead.

Ibaka glanced at Tang Qian before leaving, and said, "Hot, this is my progress." ”

"Don't want me to lose any points against you anymore."

At this time, Tang Qian suddenly thought of the player information he saw before the game, Ibaka, who already has a three-point shooting rate of more than 3 to 7 this season. In other words, his empty three-point has been thoroughly developed. In addition, he also has a stable middle distance, so facing Tang Qian, it is indeed no longer the embarrassment of last season.

Because of Tang Qian, Ibaka practiced his three-point shot hard in the offseason, the purpose of which was to meet the Lakers again without being completely restricted. In the previous meeting between the two teams this season, Ibaka was either absent due to injury or was absent in the last game, such as Wei Shao and Durant, so no one fed him the ball, and his open shooting could not be played. So after holding it for so long, Ibaka found this opportunity for "revenge".

Yes, I can't do you on the inside, so I'll go and practice three-point shooting.

If you're a big center with more than 7 feet inside, can you still chase the three-point line, and the ball can't follow me?

If this is the case, even if he does not score again, the strategic significance of his game has been achieved, and it is not trivial.

The Lakers did not have Tang Qian in charge of the interior line, and the strength of the team, both offensive and defensive, had to drop at least a lot.

In the second half, the Lakers strengthened their offense, but the Thunder were not soft, and Ibaka played the role of a battery on the outside, hitting repeatedly, so that the Lakers could not narrow the score difference. Playing so hard was something that Tang Qian and the Lakers didn't expect before, and Ibaka played a huge role in this game in order to deal with Tang Qian's stable three-point practice in the offseason.

The Lakers called a timeout, but D'Antoni still arranged for Don to sneak to follow Ibaka.

Tang has no problem sneaking out, he has the ability, and his movement speed and defensive agility allow him to be an advantage against any interior player on the outside, rather than being a disadvantage. But...... In this way, the Lakers will lose a lot. Because he let Don sneak out for Ibaka's three-point shot, this is a knife to kill chickens. Without him on the inside, after being emptied, Wei Shao suddenly opened up all of his firepower, and the "Turtle Impact" broke out in various ways, and the inside line of the Lakers team that was impacted was suddenly full of holes.

Wei Shao + Kante attacked in a row, and the score difference was opened up at once, and D'Antoni saw this, so he could only call a timeout again.

Unexpectedly, one of the Thunder's Ibaka practiced three-point shots, and the effect would be so great.

This was something D'Antoni hadn't thought of before, and he overestimated the rest of the Lakers' ability to protect the interior.

Seriously, without Tang Qian, who can block Wei Shao's impact to attack the basket? This alone is enough for the Lakers.

And after Wei Shao can easily attack the basket, it has been of great help to the overall revitalization of the Thunder team, and the rest of the people on the outside seem to have to open. After D'Antoni calmed down, he also made corresponding changes. He asked Yi Jianlian and Tang Qianqian to switch positions on the defensive end, Yi Jianlian went out to defend Ibaka, and Tang Qian continued to stay on the inside defense, and it seemed that the problem was solved all of a sudden. However, the facts told D'Antoni and the Lakers that they were still thinking too simply.

The Lakers have played so far this season, and they don't have any defensive system at all, and they simply rely on their individual ability to suppress their opponents. There is a very unsightly saying about D'Antoni's tactical system, that is, how many points he scores, the opponent will also score. Of course, this is an exaggeration of a sunspot, but it also shows a point from the side, and there is no defense when playing his system.

His basic system is to sacrifice defense and focus on offense and defense.

In terms of tactical on-the-spot command, unless the Lakers now bring in a No. 1 master who is very strong defensively and has the ability to command the team's defensive changes, such as Kidd at the peak or Chris of the Clippers. Paul, otherwise, they're going to get a mess in a few strokes. Changing guards, you think it's just a matter of words? No, single defense is a sentence, change defense, assist defense, supplement defense, joint defense, etc., etc., these are things that eat the defense system. Without the support of a complete defensive system, the opponent can make your overall defense full of holes in a few clicks.

Yi Jianlian went out to defend, the disadvantage came out, without the help of the defensive system, he was not as good as Ibaka in moving alone, after all, the latter is the top physical fitness among the blacks, and this Yi Di is still worse. Forget it, mainly after the opponent put on a few special tactical settings, Yi Jianlian was immediately dizzy, he came to the NBA for too short, and the adaptation was still in progress, and he was suddenly asked to go to the outside to defend like this, he was a little unbearable.

And his defense in the CBA, on this side, is not good at all.

The Thunder provided Ibaka with several tactical covers, and Ibaka quickly found the opportunity to hit two more three-pointers.

The score difference was suddenly widened to two digits.

It's no wonder that Yi Jianlian gave him such a difficult task all of a sudden, which is a bit of a sprout.

The Lakers can only replace Covington again, using him to go to and from the outside to focus on Ibaka, the speed is up, and the defensive ability is also up, but Ibaka enters the inside line and plays harder more, don't forget that he is still an inside player after all. Height and weight are all standards for the inner line.

All of a sudden, it was just more and more chaotic, and the defense was getting worse and worse, and the Lakers actually had a tendency to collapse in the second half.

This situation made the teaching assistant team remind, and D'Antoni suddenly woke up from a dream.

Yes, he fell into the opponent's trap from the beginning, and the team he coached shouldn't have paid too much attention to the defensive end.

Forcibly rectified, it is the result of this donkey's head not being in the horse's mouth.

Celestial Empire Sports Station.

"Oh, this won't work, Ibaka has done a great job tonight, he's done a good job of a-stirring stick."

"Ahem ~ Zhang Gui ~ That, it can't be said to be a-stirring stick, it's more suitable to spoil the situation." Seeing that Director Zhang was a little up, the meteor shower was also a little embarrassed. As long as he is commenting on the Lakers' game, this old man is easy to be emotional, just like he did when he commented on the Houston Rockets.

On the Internet, there are also pieces of swiping screens:

How did you do it, how did the defense mess up? I can't help but laugh as a layman!

What kind of defense is this? There's no discipline at all.

I think D'Antoni's team shouldn't be defensive, offensive, and attacking against them.

This netizen got to the point, yes, he can't mess up his rhythm and formation, his team should attack.

Than attack, who have I d'Antoni been afraid of?

Attack!

PS: Although there is only one chapter today, it is a full 6k, and this weight is still no problem.

Well, I can only say about the questions that some book friends said, you read the book very deeply, but these are all in Xiaozi's calculations, so if you want to know the answer to the question, you will know it later. I can't spoil it right now.
