Paul was really a little angry, he always felt that this team was missing something. You said that the strength of the roster, this season has been selected for 2 All-Star teams + 3 All-Star teams + 2 All-Defensive teams, what else do you want? In the alliance, it can be regarded as absolutely powerful from a general perspective. It's both offensive and defensive. But in the playoffs, the Clippers played hard every time. There is even a rumor in the outside world that he is a man cursed by the "Western Conference Finals Floor", he is very strong, and he has joined a good team, but he just can't enter the division finals. Such remarks have become more and more popular in recent years as Paul has grown older, and as a standard "post-80s", it is impossible for him not to know this kind of news on the Internet.

Therefore, he is actually very eager to break this groundless and nonsensical rumor in his heart.

But in the first round of this year, the Clippers played seven games against the Spurs, and in the end, if he hadn't forced a blow-up, the Clippers would have dragged the game out of overtime. The tie-break will be settled by the San Antonios. It seems that the real strength of the Clippers may not have reached the level that people think. However, this kind of book lineup can't make it to the Western Conference Finals, and Paul himself always feels a little panicked. Although his artificial high-level data terror is the king of the No. 1 position, he is ...... His ability to lead the team has been greatly questioned. As a core point guard, the ability to lead the team is questioned, which is really more unbearable than questioning his individual ability. Because in the eyes of traditional point guards, the ability to lead the team is one of their natural responsibilities.

How can it be questioned?

But, if you look at a few of the great No. 1 players of the 21st century, how many of them have led the team so dismal?

Jason. Kidd, led the team to the Finals 2 times, Steve. Nash, who led the team to the Western Conference Finals several times, while he ...... The best result for the team is the Western Conference semifinals, the so-called second round. Paul in 2015 is no longer young, and he will turn 30 in 2 days. This is the last years of the golden age for basketball players, and if he doesn't cherish it and continue to waste it, his career is likely to be the same as Stockton's, without a championship for life. And he's an ambitious point guard, and he doesn't just want championship rings like Kidd and Nash. What he wants...... The boss ring, or cornerstone ring.

This kind of situation is what he likes.

This also explains why, he dragged on until he was almost 33 years old before he had to leave and switch to a dual-core style of play.

Because inside, Chris. Paul still wished he could get a boss ring.

Therefore, leading the team to win the championship is his current goal, and the Clippers are not bad at all at all, with both internal and external lines, both offensive and defensive. So, he doesn't want to go anywhere at all right now.

Nonsense, it's not Kobe's kind of teammates who were all CBA except for Odangdang, and the Clippers gave him a very confident team book lineup. As one of the old-school players, how could Paul be thinking about playing a duo now?

No, he's going to lead the team to the championship.

After all, he went to another team, even though he was nominally a "double core", but in fact, he was the deputy.

FMVP, the honor he craves the most, is basically impossible to get his hands on again.

So Paul has played hard this year, and this fierceness is not reflected in other aspects, but on the offensive end. His selectivity and decisiveness on the offensive end this year has reached a career playoff high. So far, the first-round shooting percentage is like this, you can take a look. He shot 51.3 percent from the field, 42.9 percent from three-point range and 96.6 percent from the free throw line. Do the math of these three hit percentages add up? The answer is 190.8%. Proper "190 Club". It's a big step up from the "180 Hit Club", which claims to be super efficient. This situation is really scary. To put it simply, it is to get rid of the Clippers' soy sauce water cooler who took less than 2 shots, and his shooting rate is second on the team and first on the three-point team.

The reason why the shooting percentage ranks second is because Jordan Jr.'s shooting percentage has been the first in the league for many years, and he is basically impossible to shake. That said, he's shooting more than interior star Griffin. From this point of view, this year's Paul, the offensive selection is extremely good, the state is wonderful, the No. 1 position in the league, no one can stop him.

Lin? This season, he played a career-high average of 18+2+8 under D'Antoni's system, which is good enough. There is no problem with quasi-All-Stars, and it is even possible to make it to All-Stars in the East. But compared to Paul, it is not good-looking. And if you're really an old fan, then you must know why Jeremy Lin played the Rockets in the last round with close to 20+9 stats. Because his counterpart is the aging Jason. Terry. Older than him, thinner than him, and less athletic than him. This gave him a lot of opportunities to handle the ball with ease, and if the Rockets' original No. 1 position had not been injured, he would not have played so well 100 percent. It turns out who should be the No. 1 position of the Rockets? That's right, it's the fierce player known for his defense, the "mad dog" Beverley who squeezed Jeremy Lin from the starter to the bench. Unfortunately, he also missed the Houston Rockets' playoffs this year due to injury. No, Jeremy Lin's point has not been exposed as a big problem.

But unfortunately, in the second round, his crisis came, because the person who was in place with him was called, Chris. Paul.

Not to mention anything else, if you look at the career alignment data of the two people, it is clear, and Paul has no doubt that he will beat Jeremy Lin in an all-round way.

Both of them are in the No. 1 position, and the alignment data between the same position has a strong reference.

As a result, Jeremy Lin was hit again in the playoffs of his life.

Chris. Paul bit him, starting from the middle of the third quarter, the whole high-pressure defense, Jeremy Lin suddenly showed fatigue, the first few rounds were fine, and after the physical and mental pressure increased at the same time, the more unstable he played. Successive mistakes are a typical symptom. If Jeremy Lin wants to fight Paul in the playoffs, it will be completely difficult for a strong man.

Under Paul's trash talk provocation, Jeremy Lin began to make non-data mistakes. That is, a lot of hesitation to stop the ball and so on, which caused the Lakers to barely take the pot after the offensive time was almost exhausted. As a result, the Lakers' offense, known as the "Purple and Gold Storm" this season, was greatly hindered all of a sudden. If you look at Jeremy Lin's in-depth data analysis this season, you will find that most of the data will be below average when he is against the strong No. 1 position, and of course there are times when he surpasses, but overall, the downturn is greater than the overtaking. Especially against Paul, who is an offensive and defensive player, the data is not particularly good, take this season's home and away regular season games with the Clippers on April 5 and April 7, the Lakers almost lost, if it weren't for Tang Qian's "god descending to earth" state, where would he win so easily?

Although these two Jeremy Lin are in the midst of injuries.

But in the first two games against the Clippers, Jeremy Lin was basically greatly deflated in the confrontation with Paul.

The ability to defend for many years, do you think it's fake? Paul has basically monopolized a one-point defensive position in the guard line over the years, okay?

Paul is on the All-Defensive Team seven times so far, five of which are first-defenses, and this season he is the first defensive team with four in a row.

And for a comprehensive understanding of the scale rules of the playoffs, Paul has to greatly surpass Jeremy Lin too much, so the Lakers' offensive system suffers. A large number of mistakes and non-data errors made the smooth operation of the Zijin Army fall into stagnation all of a sudden. This is exactly what the Clippers want, a large number of defensive counterattacks, so that Tang Qian, a big man, has lost his defensive value before he has even settled down. Why, the opponent ball has been sent to the Lakers' basket.

Tang Qian is very fast, but after all, he is a big man of more than 7 feet, and the most important thing is that he is in the No. 5 position, and the offensive position and key position are very deep, so if he wants to return to the defensive position, the running distance and time required are also the longest. Therefore, even if Tang Qian's speed and agility are far beyond the usual big inside, it will require a slight delay from his teammates. However, defending fast breaks and defensive counterattacks are not just good solo defenses. If you want to do this defense well, the system is the key.

The power of a single person seems a little insignificant.

After all, they are all moving at high speed, and the offense and defense are not in place at all, and no matter how strong your single defense is, it is not easy to play. More need for mutual cooperation and tacit understanding, retreat and disperse the awareness of assisting in defense and supplementing defense. In this regard, the Lakers are among the weakest teams in the entire league. There are a lot of individual defenders, but they are not systematic, not whole, and in this case, there will even be a low-level situation where they are out of position with each other at the same time and go to defend one side at the same time. At this point, I really can't help but say that Kerr is strong, and the Warriors' defensive efficiency, especially for this kind of small-ball conversion, can be called terrifying. Formerly Mark. Jackson can only let the Warriors do a good defense in the regular season, and then collapse in the playoffs, and Kerr here has directly become the team's offensive and defensive integration, whether it is the playoffs or the regular season, it is the top three offensive and defensive efficiency in the league.

Otherwise, how do you think this pitcher brigade has taken the world by storm?

Purely offensive? Wrong, wrong, the Warriors' defense will be among the top few in the league for years to come.

It shows that Cole's team building philosophy has been towards the integration of offense and defense from the beginning.

There is no such thing as a deviance.

The opposite of the Warriors is James's Cavaliers, whose defense has never been very good, and one of the ones who can reach the Finals is the team's big man LeBron. James is indeed super strong, and the second is that they are relatively weak in the East. Otherwise, if it were in the west, there would have been a collapse long ago.

Balanced offense and defence, that's the state that a team wants most.

However, not all champions can do it, but any dynasty team will not be bad for both of them.

It is indeed not easy to establish a dynasty.

In this way, this remaining half quarter is a nightmare half quarter, and the Lakers suddenly seem to be unable to play, and the shooting rate has dropped wildly, directly to the point of misery. Why? Not to mention that there are many mistakes, your offensive system can't work, and it's also a big pit. There is not enough time to attack each time, and there are more bomb balls, can you not have a low hit rate?

Tang Qian was even more depressed in this half of the quarter, he was directly abolished at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, the number of attacks is not much, it is easy to say, as for the defense, he has not had time to settle down many times. The opponent has already scored, what do you want him to do? D'Antoni wants to emphasize the delay in the Clippers' push at this time, but what can you solve with one sentence? There's no long-term targeted training, there's no complete defensive system, and you want to have it all in one mouth? What are you not dreaming?

Moreover, Jeremy Lin's point was suppressed too hard by Paul, which is also a problem, and the Lakers' offense suddenly turned off like a power outage, and it went down without warning. Referring to last year, how did the Lakers win the championship? In the early stage, it was Nash's tandem, and then there was Gasol in the team to maintain the strategy, and the communication of the whole team was not easy to be cut off, and secondly, there was also the "Super Receiver" in the team at the peak of the 24th at any time, so that he could reach the finals, in fact, if it wasn't for Tang Qian's wave of "gods descending to earth" in the Western Conference Finals, the Lakers would have to kneel. Not to mention the finals, almost most of them are positional battles, and the Lakers are grinding the rhythm with the Heat, dragging it to the end, and then taking Kobe Bryant's way to win the game.

What now? First of all, Jeremy Lin is not as good as Nash, even if he is 40 years old, his organizational ability and organizational experience are still incomparable to Jeremy Lin in the playoffs. In addition, the team is missing a Gasol, Bosh is not bad, and the projection range is much larger than that of the Spanish Tower, but in terms of ball and response tandem ability, he and Gasol are one of their own. In the end, this Lakers team, he doesn't have the "super pick-up man" last year.

As a result, after the No. 1 position was cut off, the connection and system operation of the whole team became a problem.

What wasn't exposed in the first series, this series is starting to be thoroughly exposed.

The score difference of 13 points was eroded to only 1 point in the first quarter, and during this time, the Lakers' style of play was indeed a big problem. But at this point, D'Antoni seems to be very stubborn, just look at last year, if it weren't for Nash's injury, it would be basically impossible to start playing positional offense, and the finals are the same, the same is Nash's absence, there is no way. It can only be so. But if this continues, the Lakers will be very dangerous, because the No. 1 position is too far behind Paul.

Under Paul's constant pressure, Jeremy Lin played out of sorts at all, and he still had to control a lot of the ball, which is not too surprising for the Lakers to have this state. Now, unless Jeremy Lin breaks out, it will still be difficult to break this situation.

In the fourth quarter, seeing that the score difference was getting bigger and bigger, Tang Qian began to stand up and take the initiative to take responsibility, and he began to frequently ask for the ball to attack alone, which was still effective at first. But as time went on, efficiency began to decline. Again, Little Jordan is a steady defense at this time, if Tang Qian hadn't robbed him of his position, he would definitely be on defense. An inside line with first-defense strength is not so easy to be blown up by Tang Qian.

It's not even possible to be blown up at all.

The two games in the regular season broke out in a row, and they continued to score high, and that was because Tang Qian was in the "gods descended to earth". In that state, don't say what little Jordan is, any interior defense master will inevitably be blown up. What about the last round against the Houston Rockets? Tang Qian averaged 29 points, 26.3 rebounds, 10 blocks, 1 assist and 0.3 steals per game, also because he has the talent attribute of "every beast must explode". Speaking of this season, Howard's defensive ability has actually declined greatly, and if he has to share the defense while taking care of the offensive end, he is not as powerful as Jordan Jr. at all.

This season's defense lineup does not have his share with or without Tang Qian, which is the best proof that his defensive era has passed.

If Howard doesn't give up the idea of offense and honestly become a blue-collar worker, his defensive power will continue to decline and continue to decline. until it hits rock bottom. So Tang Qian felt a little bad, because he really underestimated the "Uncle Liu Huang" of the Clippers.

Little Jordan was blown up by Tang Qian in the regular season for 2 consecutive games, and he was in the mood to die, no, as soon as he bumped into the playoffs this year, a huge desire for revenge rose in his heart, and the whole person, whether it was in state or enthusiasm, was far greater than when he faced off with the Spurs in the first round. Coupled with the escalation of the confrontation intensity in the playoffs, Jordan Jr.'s defensive strength began to really show.

Tang Qian's current ability can't say anything that can be taken in the face of the current season's defense.

That's not realistic.

If you want to get to this level, you have to at least get started as a super scorer, and besides, because Jeremy Lin was defeated by Chris. Paul's strong offensive and defensive suppression, Tang Qian's side of the Lakers, is also equivalent to losing D'Antoni's system bonus factor. Since this is the case, Tang Qian's scoring ability is further weakened a lot compared to the regular season.

So if you can fight, you can fight, but you say that beating Little Jordan is like chopping melons and vegetables, that's a dream.

Besides, playing like this is too physically exhausting, and Tang dived to the back, and there was no way to guarantee the hit rate.

The Los Angeles Lakers' first game was lost in such a mess, and they finally lost 91-100, 9 points, and tasted defeat in the first game of the series. And 91 points in a single game can be regarded as a new low for a team in the Lakers' playoffs this year. Jeremy Lin performed very poorly in this game, with a good performance of 9 points and 5 assists in the first half, and only 3 points and 1 assist in the second half, while 8 personal errors and 6 in the second half, which is also an ugly number. And his counterpart, Chris. What about Paul? He had 28 points, 10 assists, 5 steals, and only 1 personal turnover. I can only worship. It's a bit too strong to control mistakes.

In addition, the shooting rate is also excellent tonight, and it is said that the No. 1 position of the Lakers has been completely destroyed, and there is no problem at all.

It's not an exaggeration, it's the truth. Jeremy Lin, not as good as him.

Although Tang Qian got 19 points, 17 rebounds, 4 blocks and 1 assist in this game, he was powerless to watch the Los Angeles Clippers in the same city steal a victory on the Lakers' home court, and the series took the lead in getting off to a good start.
