Chapter 968 Grizzly Bear Rhythm, Who Will Carry
Basketball out, Tang Qian and Gasol Jr. both jumped up, but there was no suspense, Gasol Jr. was not a particularly athletic No. 5 position, plus Tang Qian's height was weaker, so there was no doubt that the ball was in the hands of the Lakers.
The Los Angeles Lakers attack first.
But it's not as easy as everyone thinks, because the Grizzlies' defense is very tough, and they are also very good at controlling the rhythm and not letting the Lakers lead the way. After half quarter, the Lakers trailed their opponents by 4 points. It seems that the Memphis Grizzlies have really prepared for the game, and it is not so easy to win.
With Jimmy. Butler missed another shot, but the Grizzlies relied on Mike. Conley hit a three-pointer and the basketball swept across the sky and into the Lakers' net. The FedEx Arena, home of the Grizzlies, burst into jubilation.
With 7 points behind, the Lakers played a little stiff, and with another passing error, the Lakers were attacked by the opponent's direct fast attack. Allen dunks with one hand. Seeing this, D'Antoni was very decisive and asked for a timeout.
The Lakers underestimated the Grizzlies a little, and they made a lot of mistakes tonight, so they were overwhelmed by the opponent by 9 points in the first quarter.
However, D'Antoni has no intention of changing, after all, it is not unusual for teams playing "seven seconds or less" to average slightly higher turnovers per game. And the team he coaches has a strong wave of ability, as long as it is smooth, this score can catch up in a few minutes and come to naught.
But tonight the Grizzlies are really well prepared, and they are obviously slowing down the pace than usual, which is to suppress the pace of the game, or at the very least, to curb the Lakers' "fast whirlwind" intentions. In terms of the pace of the game, the slower the tempo, the more the Grizzlies want. Their whole system is built for a slow pace, so the slower the better, and the slower they are, the stronger they are.
Jeremy Lin is still not as good as Steve. Nash, he's prone to falling into the defensive trap of opponents, and once he's not in good shape, he's not as strong as the latter. But it's also normal, comparing him to a two-time regular season MVP, which is originally unfair.
Besides, everyone has a time when they don't play well, the stronger the player, the more stable and the less volatile, which does not refer to Jeremy Lin alone.
How many point guard masters can a league have? Are all on your team and others still playing? Therefore, the real strongmen and the real strong teams are all "adapting to local conditions" and "improvising", if there is a problem tonight, then use other methods to make up for it. For example, the former Chicago Bulls, on the whole, they are not that strong, and the lineup is not absolutely gorgeous. Moreover, they still have internal flaws, which have basically not been solved in the six championships. So how did the Bulls do it? When the inside line is frequently scored by the opponent, there are two basic plans, one is to accelerate the rotation and use the super outside blocking ability to increase the pressure on the outside line, so as to share the pressure of the inside defense. The second is to replace defense with offense and fight for offensive stability.
Anyway, with Jordan here, dragging the game to the last moment, the same is the Bulls who have an absolute advantage.
Basically, it's fine-tuned around these two basic schemes, which are two big countermeasures.
On D'Antoni's side, because Nash was stable enough, there were few problems like Jeremy Lin, after all, in terms of ability, Nash was placed in the No. 1 position in history, which was a powerful existence, and there was no one in ten. However, there is also a problem, if Nash is under control, then the Suns will collapse. Why is it that at critical moments, the Suns are always one step behind, and they can't get over that hurdle? This is because the penalty scale and level of competition in the playoffs have improved much compared to the regular season, so Nash, who is basically unstoppable in the regular season, has finally become a little easier to contain. And strangling Nash, even a few crucial balls, would be enough to extinguish the Suns. After all, the Suns, defensive ability, not nothing, they also have defensive masters, such as Marion, such as the first defense of the selected Laga. Bale and so on, plus Xiao Si, who is decent in defense, can't say that the defense is sparse. But the system is this, the pace is too fast, and the defense can only be juggled like this.
In addition, the Suns lacked a point to break the game alone, fought against high-intensity positions, and the defense was always a line behind.
In this way, it led to the original space-time Steve. Nash has never touched the championship floor in his life.
But now the situation has changed a little, that is, Tang Qian's offensive and defensive capabilities are all over Xiao Si.
Everyone knows that the defense is overpowered, and the offense is okay too? At least it won't be weak.
And the peak Xiao Si is already at the top level of the basket attack on the No. 4 position, Tang Qian has this strength?
Yes, after playing so many games, Tang Qian clearly felt his approximate scoring ability.
It's about 25+ per game! is indeed on par with the peak Xiao Si! And under D'Antoni's system, this data is still a lot more overflowing. Seeing that the Lakers were in trouble, Tang Qian began to ask for the ball, which slowly became a very normal thing in the Lakers. When the team can't open, Tang Qian will stand up and take the initiative to attack the ball.
For the first time in tonight's game, Tang Qian opened a singles and killed Mark in the basket. Gasol.
Mark. Gasol is probably between 265~280 pounds, because his body fat is very high, so his weight fluctuates a lot, but he is obviously stronger than Gasol in one point. That's the chassis, his chassis, it's very stable, far better than Paul. Gasol steady. So he's not afraid of physical confrontation at all when defending, he's a low-key and reliable interior defender.
In addition, his defense is not Howard's physical strength, Garnett's super-wide defensive pressing, he is a more traditional interior basket protector. But he has his own basketball IQ, and all his existence exists for the sake of the team's existence. For example, rebounding, his entire career has been around 7~8+, and the highest is 9+. This is really not a particularly strong rebounder, at least their team's interior Randolph has the ability to rebound 10+ rebounds, and it is still as high as 10+ this season. As for the offensive ability, Gasol Jr. is not the top, and he does not have a significant advantage with many people in the team. So why is he the core of the Grizzlies? It's his ball quotient. Defensively, he's the quintessential European defensive mindset that relies on teams and eventually squeezes the attacker out of shape. That is to say, the data is not so dazzling, but his defensive position, movement, and assistance defense are not for the purpose of blocking, just to prevent them.
The same is true on the rebounding end, he will go to the card position more and help his teammates get rebounds, which is really good.
If it is simply put on single defense, Gasol Jr.'s defensive philosophy is to impose confrontation, so that the offensive shooting action becomes irregular, and the shooting rhythm becomes abnormal, so as to effectively reduce the shooting rate. Tang Qian's attack, the impact of the basket, in terms of physical fitness, he is really not aimed at anyone, little Gasol is too far behind him compared to him. However, little Gasol had no intention of blocking Tang Qian, he just reluctantly followed, and maintained a certain degree of confrontation, and he would not relax during the whole process.
The moment Tang Qianqian shot, the basketball missed and slipped out of the basket.
The Grizzlies got the rebound and started to organize the offense.
Many fans at the scene began to applaud and cheer for Gasol Jr., and it seems that Tang Qian's previous remarks are now known to everyone. Therefore, the teams with one of the five Tigers selected by ESPN as the center this season have unwarranted hostility towards Tang Qian and the Lakers.
They all hope that their center can stop Tang Qian, let Tang Qian eat up, and leave the field in disgrace.
Tang Qian played 2 more in this section, and all of them slipped the basket without exception, in addition to his own hand not being so good, there is a more important problem, that is, ...... He was suppressed by Gasol Jr.'s defense and controlled.
While sitting on the bench to rest, Tang Qian carefully reflected on the confrontation of these balls, and he gradually understood something.
Gasol Jr.'s defensive rhythm is very good, in addition to not giving up all the way to create defensive pressure, he also increased the intensity of the confrontation at the moment of his own shot. The main purpose of this is not to block, but to make yourself uncomfortable in the confrontation and disrupt the usual rhythm of shooting. This is a bit like Spurs Tim. Duncan's defensive style. However, a little different from Duncan, Gasol Jr. is a little more confrontational, and his ability to directly protect the basket is also inferior to Duncan. Duncan, on the other hand, is more inclined to defend his position, using rhythm and footwork to block interference.
There is still a difference between the two.
Indeed, he was more than his brother Paul. Gasol is much stronger defensively, and it is not for nothing that he won the DPOY in the 12-13 season. However, this is not Tang Qian's defensive philosophy, so he used the time he took a break on the bench in the second quarter to think about it, and when he returned to the court, he had to use other methods to break the game.
How to break the game, increase the direct shot under the basket, and wait for the opening to re-face the basket to kill.
Celestial Empire Sports Station.
Because Zhang Weiping was already sitting on the plane to Los Angeles, this game was broadcast by Yangyi and Yu Jia.
Since Tang Qian won a burst of defense + DOPY + rebounding king + block king + NBA championship last year, he has now become a complete "Tang Mi". And the trend is obvious, which is more "explicit" than Mi Yaoming back then. Although it is not as good as Zhang's guidance, it is not easy for him, a self-proclaimed "neutral" and "fair" commentator, to do this.
If Tang Qian hadn't played too well, he wouldn't have shown such a remarkable appearance.
However, he will still point out the problem when it should be pointed out, and he will not completely "excuse" Tang Qian like Zhang Weiping.
"The Lakers didn't play well in this section, overflowing, what do you think?" Yu Jia asked.
"The Lakers actually played the same rhythm as the previous games, and there was no problem with the rhythm, but it was just controlled by the Grizzlies tonight. My hand is not so good, the rhythm is slowly controlled by the opponent, and the more I fight, the more unfavorable it becomes. ”
"What do you think should be done, and what can be done to change the situation?"
"If you don't feel good offensively, you have to defend first, and the Grizzlies don't have a great shooting ability, so shrinking the defense may have a little effect. However, in the end, it is up to the players to decide, and if the single-digit score cannot be recovered at the end of the quarter, the second half is probably not so easy to play. ”
"Tang Qian's hand feels bad tonight, what do you think of this?"
"Gasol Jr. was already very good at defense, and Tang Qian's shots were a little reckless, although he seemed to have improved a lot on the offensive end this season, but it was almost meaningless to break the game alone. I would suggest that when you get back on the court, you should take fewer shots and increase your energy on the defensive end. ”
At the same time, there are also different opinions on the Internet, because people, in general, there are still many impetuous and unstable people.
This is especially true for young people.
What is the suggestion that Tang Qian should return to the blue-collar style of play, it is enough to score a few dumplings.
What Tang Qian is still too anxious, he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
What Tang Qian's rhetoric is going to end in the hands of Gasol Jr., and Gasol Jr.'s worth will rise in the future.
What Tang Qian is still too rough, if he had Yao Ming's feel and projection, it would be good, but he still hasn't practiced enough.
Not to mention anything else, the last one is simply the blind coercion of pseudo-fans, just seeing Tang Qian without Yao Ming's feel and projection, in fact, how many centers in NBA history have? And did this affect them to become the inside line of historical hegemon? Not really. Besides, Tang Qian's physical fitness is not Yao Ming's style of play, it's ridiculous to mix it up, why don't you say that Yao Ming doesn't have Tang Qian's athleticism and defensive ability, is he not practicing enough?
Including D'Antoni, they are all arranged to strengthen the offensive on the outside, after all, no one can say now whether Tang Qian has really developed offensive ability. After all, in the past, he also had occasional intermittent outbursts, and basically every season. In the first few games, did you just catch up? At least for now, it seems that he is being defended by Gasol Jr., playing very poorly and with a low shooting percentage.
Seeing that the Lakers had 3 minutes and 44 seconds left in the second quarter and replaced No. 29 Tang Qian, Randolph leaned to Gasol Jr.'s side and said: "He's here again, you continue to deal with him, so that he can't go crazy tonight." ”
"Well, I'll do my best." Gasol Jr. nodded.
The Lakers' three-point shooting rate is still not in the state, which is a drawback of the running and bombing team, once the three-point shot is not in the state, then the team's combat effectiveness will also decline rapidly. In addition, although the Lakers have a lot of outside shooters, there are no real star shooters. There is also no such thing as a single carry outside line after the whole team's hand drops.
As a result, the Lakers are stuck in an offensive quagmire, and everyone feels that their mentality has been greatly affected.
So...... It's up to me to open things up.
The Lakers tightened their pants and jersey on the 29th, and looked at the game score.
PS: The first update, there is another one, I won't break my promise, continue to code words tonight!!
Let's help Xiaozi, no, it's Tang Qian calling~heyhehe~~~
