Chapter 646: Fighting Chicago (Part I)
Guess the coin, this time Tang Qian guessed correctly, and Tang Qian's team gained the home advantage. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Staples Center, the second challenge of the showdown begins.
After the lack of Hand-Checking, it is obvious that the Tang Qian's double shot outside line was activated, and it was 3 three-pointers at the beginning, which made the Bulls slightly confused. However, the large number of fouls and violations expected by Tang Qian did not appear, and the Bulls seemed to be playing no hand-checking basketball at all, and the defensive and offensive actions were very "harmonious".
This is probably the so-called "default adaptation to the no-hand-checking tournament rule".
Rao is like this, the game is still difficult to play, no, it is too difficult to play, Tang Qian's interior defense is naturally needless to say, extremely powerful, and the Bulls were capped 6~7 in the first half. But at halftime, Phil. Jackson has obviously adjusted and arranged, except for No. 23, the rest of the people have reduced direct interior frontal attacks, and switched to mid-range shots or throwing baskets to solve the problem.
There was a well-known problem in the '90s that everybody had a mid-range, and it didn't matter what position you were in, you wouldn't be open mid-range, so sorry, you didn't deserve to be an NBA player. Even if it's Rodman, if you give him an open mid-range, he's going to throw it in. This was also the rule of the time limit, when illegal defense and hand-checking were "prevalent", you went to shoot a three-pointer and had no chance at all. Because the interference is too great. As we all know, the farther away from the basket, the more unstable it is, so the players who dominated three-point shooting in the 90s are very few, and most of the shots are also vacant.
In contrast, who has more stability in the face of intense defensive action? Of course, it was a hit.
Why? It's still the same answer, because it's close to the basket.
In particular, Curry's "one-piece shooting" is more susceptible to the interference of Hand-Checking, a slight squeeze, a slight movement, and immediately the body balance is destroyed, and the difficulty of scoring is intensified. On the other hand, Chocco's "two-stage shooting" has a higher degree of stability and more room and time for adjustment under the confrontation of Hand-Checking.
It is not unreasonable to have a rule and a god.
The revision of the rules is the biggest weapon for the alliance as a whole.
In the second half, the Bulls stepped up for Ray. Aaron and Stephen. Curry's control, Jordan and Pippen's defensive prowess are on display, and even with a change in the rules, they are the league's strongest perimeter offensive and defensive duo.
Thunder. Allen and Curry fought with them to run, and there was no big problem in a short period of time. Taking advantage of this, the Bulls' Jordan Huo Ran exerted his strength, scoring 12 consecutive points in a wave and taking away the game. However, this game only lost by 5 points, and it can be seen that the Hand-checking rule has been canceled, and the Bulls' super outside pressure defense still has a great impact, at least about half of it has been weakened.
"Different Space" did not force people to death, but still gave Tang Qian a little way to live.
However, if the opportunity cannot be grasped, it is equivalent to "giving it for nothing".
The day before the second game, Jerry. Sloan has introduced a new style of play throughout the team, which is Kumai's outside pick-and-roll.
What is called Kumai's outside blocking and dismantling is to use Maddy and Curry to block and dismantle both sides, so that Curry can be activated and Maddy can have the opportunity to hold the ball and attack, projection and strong play at the same time, so that Jordan and Pippen can be tight defensively. Based on the reason for this, the main reason is that Jordan and Pippen both have an average physical fitness of more than 41~42+ per game at their peak, so they have very little time to rest the game, and even occasionally play the whole game. In this way, even if Maddie is placed on the bench, the role is not obvious, and it is better to be promoted to the starting position, and Stephen. Curry plays a pick-and-roll in the high post.
As soon as this tactic came out, it was like the "Doku blocking" in later generations, shooting Curry when he had the opportunity, and giving Durant a single attack if he didn't have the opportunity. Maddie may not be as efficient as Durant, but his offensive ability at his peak is absolutely super, and he is not able to contain himself alone, and Durant is not as good as Magic No. 1. It is said that Durant is efficient, but in fact, to put it bluntly, he has had an All-Star helper by his side since the second grade, and Westbrook, who will be the MVP of the "triple-double king" in the future, will help contain him. If you don't have a helper for him, and you do it yourself all the way, the efficiency is what the first season looks like, and the shooting percentage is a mess.
You say that the first season is a rookie period and it doesn't count? Okay, then there's a game to go back on, look at the playoffs, except for the 11-12 season, which season did he have the regular season scoring efficiency? All combined, it's about 45%. So as soon as he went to the "73-win team", his offensive efficiency returned to the regular season level again, and it became terrifying.
It's a very simple example, it looks like Durant's shooting percentage in the 16-17 season is off the charts, is it really because of his explosive offensive ability? NONONO~ Of course not! The Warriors also have the "Splash Brothers" on the outside to help him contain, and he gets much less open opportunities and defensive pressure than before, so he can soar in efficiency. Similarly, James is the same, are you really sure that Zhan Huang can play alone without outside stars, and can play a table-breaking efficiency? The weak team may be okay, but what about the strong team? The Grand Final of the 15-16 season is an example of this. Who says you can score high with a high shot? If you try it without the containment of outside star players, and give you an average of 32+ shots per game, you will score 35 points, not to mention that the Warriors team that year was not strong on the inside.
In the future, with Durant's "surrender behavior", the myth of the peak huddle mode has been broken, and Durant has proved that as long as he is in a multi-giant team, not only will he not be worse than James, but he will even be better than James. Looking at his playoff stats and efficiency in the 16-17 season, the highest shooting percentage in the first three years was 46%, the lowest was only 43%, and the three-point shooting percentage was the highest 34%, and the lowest was 28%. Is it far from the efficient Durant you remember in the regular season, and he is not a person at all? But as soon as I went to the Warriors, it changed immediately, shooting from 43 percent to 55 percent, and three-point shooting from 28 percent last year to more than 44 percent. Looking at this set of data, you will understand that the so-called efficiency also depends on what team you are on and what teammates you are around. Otherwise, it doesn't matter if it's James or Durant, and you don't have a super scorer around you, it's all the same.
It is absolutely impossible to so-called "high shot, high efficiency, high score".
This can also look at Kobe Bryant's 12-13 season, when Nash was healthy, the detailed average statistics of the first ten games, with an average of 26+5.7+5.4 per game, an overall shooting rate of 52.8%, a three-point shooting rate of 40.5%, and a free throw rate of 89.4%, a proper "180 club". You must know that Nash, who is already 38~39 years old, standing next to Kobe, can let Kobe play this effect, what is called containment, this is called containment. If it's the peak Nash with the peak Kobe, hehe, what can you think about efficiency?
Why did Stern stop Chris with basketball reasons back then? When Paul joined Los Angeles, he probably expected that once the two were combined, the league would be "wolf howling". Because Paul is still a No. 1 position that integrates offense and defense, there is no problem with Nash's defensive "holes". Therefore, watching the game needs to be considered comprehensively, you only look at one data, and you will only be deceived by the data.
Maddie didn't have any outside star helpers back then, and the playoff data was almost the same as the regular season data, which was a strong performance of individual ability. And for many seasons, he has single-handedly scored 30+ points per game in the playoffs, the shooting rate is the same as that of the regular season, there is no obvious dive, and the light is better than attacking and breaking the defense alone, you say that James and Durant are better than him? If Maddy had been paired with a superstar or quasi-superstar player of the level of Westbrook, Curry, and Irving, would his efficiency have soared? Wouldn't singles be more So.easy?
This tactic worked wonders in the first quarter of Game 2, catching the Chicago Bulls a little off guard for a while, leading by nine points at 33-24 in the first quarter, which is the best example. You must know that the Bulls have always been a strong defensive team in the league, and in the 6 championship playoffs, the lowest average points can suppress opponents with an average of only 86+ per game, and they have done it more than one season. This is the embodiment of super defense, the Bulls have a strong ability to adjust, and in the second quarter, the "Zen Master" let Jordan and Pippen switch defenses specifically, no longer obsessed with "biting the opponent" as in the first quarter. Sloan's "Kumai high-position blocking tactic" was contained. Because whether it is Jordan or Pippen, they are super outside defensive gates, as long as they switch defenses every time, then there will be no embarrassment in the first quarter. In the second quarter of the game, Tang Qian sat off the court most of the time. Sloan had to do so.
The Bulls scored 26 points in a single quarter, while the Tang Submarine only scored a pitiful 16 points, and after two quarters, they went into the second half 49-50, one point behind the Bulls.
It's really not Jerry. Sloan's tactic of changing the formation is not clever, mainly the opponent, and it is too terrifying.
Even if you are the Durant + Curry blocker in the future, it looks beautiful and efficient, unimpeded in the league, and the finals are still swept away by the autumn wind, and the Cavaliers were killed 4-1. But what if their opponents are Jordan and Pippen? No matter how you block and dismantle these two people, how they cooperate, they can switch defenders at will, and they don't need to worry about whether their teammates will be weak in defense.
In fact, if nothing else, James + Irving that year, the offensive ability was no problem, enough to be comparable to the Kudu combination, but what about the defense? They can't prevent it, once they block and replace, Owen is a point destined to be attacked. Lacking the ability to integrate offense and defense, it's Kyrie. Owen's fatal wounds. In that round of the finals, if Irving is replaced by the peak Kobe, in fact, the situation is definitely different, with the difficulty of James shooting, there will be more vacant opportunities, it is certain, mainly ...... Defend, defend, defend! Kobe Bryant and James can be the same as Jordan Pippen, changing the defense at will, not to mention completely blocking it, but at least the containment effect, that must be there.
Curry and Durant, in fact, really play the position and work hard, and their ability is not as strong as the data shows, otherwise the former has already achieved a consecutive championship or dynasty, and the latter will not fall into the hands of the Warriors, and the second season will become "Barkley" to "join if you can't beat it". The data shows that before they merged, this kind of playoff position was not prominent.
Especially the "Grim Reaper" Durant, who shot only 43% from the field and 28.2% from three-point range in the 15-16 playoffs, is ironclad proof. What's more, he still has Westbrook by his side, if not, this data will not be better, it will only be worse.
At halftime, Jerry. Sloan walked to Tang Qian's side and said, "Hot, you're going to start working now, are you ready?" ”
