Chapter 1111: The First Boss Identity Game
The stalemate between the two sides reached the fourth quarter, and finally Griffin's solo show was over, and the last two balls in the third quarter were not scored, which was a signal. After attempting a missed shot in the fourth quarter, the Clippers began to recalibrate their offensive plan. Paul faces Jordan who came off the bench. Famar, who adopted a ruthless attack, directly broke through the latter's defense line in one step.
Famar's ability is really not enough, he and Jeremy Lin are a lot of progression, and it is really a bit cruel to let him and Paul do it directly. But Jeremy Lin also has to rest, more or less, otherwise it will be even more difficult to fight later. Paul's offensive and defensive ability is too oppressive, which makes players who are not at the same level play against him, and there is really a huge drain both physically and mentally. After Paul entered, he actually looked up at Tang Qian on the inside first, and the two of them met each other, and then Paul's eyes suddenly moved to the right, and his whole person also moved to the right.
It's the left, because it's the defensive end, so Tang Qian's judgment direction should be the opposite of Paul's.
The ball Paul gave to Griffin on the right, but a second later, the basketball was in his hands again. Tang Qian knew that he had been fooled at this time, this was a fake hand-to-hand hand, and then blocked his sight through Griffin, allowing Paul to get the space and time to go straight to the basket. However, it was not so easy, Tang Qian quickly chased after him, Griffin's ball did not delay Tang Qian's successful move, Tang Qian jumped up and blocked the back of his head.
You're really an explosion of athleticism, but you still can't defend against this ball. Because...... I'm still going to pass the ball.
It's not like you're attacking it yourself.
Paul's ball came in to attract the Lakers to shrink one in front and one behind, which was also expected by him, and he saw that it was almost time, so he passed the ball directly inside and outside in the air and distributed it to the left bottom corner. It wasn't J.J. Redick of the Clippers standing in that place, who was it? Redick's three-point shooting has been more consistent, exceeding 4-for-3 in the regular season this season and hitting a full 4-in-1 three-point shooting in the playoffs. Although most of them are open shots, if they can reach this level, they are at the level of stabilizing the three-point battery.
The basketball drew a high arc, "brushed", and fell into the Lakers' net bag.
After seeing the ball scored, Paul turned his head to look at Tang Qian and said: "Dongfang Ran, don't think that you can defend me after watching some videos, I'm Chris. Paul, the strongest active No. 1 in the league. These words are really coquettish to say after the success of the assist, but Tang Qian is not a weak person anymore, he also said to Paul who turned around: "That's a coincidence, I am also the strongest active No. 5 position in the league." I don't think you have anything to be proud of in front of me, do you? ”
Paul sneered: "The strongest No. 5 position? Did you seal it yourself? Let's wait until you score a goal. ”
Paul's words actually mean to deliberately lure Tang Qian to attack, after all, the Clippers have Jordan Jr. on the inside, and his defensive ability is very strong. has broken through the flowing basket play, and it has also been greatly restricted in the playoffs.
At this point, there will be a big man in the future who is very similar to Tang Qian's current playing style, and he is the Bucks' alphabet brother, and the same is true.
Because the projection is not stable enough, there are a lot of breakthrough kills, so that you can't go far in the playoffs at all, and your physical energy will be consumed soon. And the scale of the playoffs has been relaxed, and the confrontation is also a lot higher than that of the regular season.
So at this time, Paul really prepared a set and waited for Tang to drill it.
As long as the latter drills, then one of them will immediately command the team to squeeze the inside line sharply, making the inside line of No. 29 full of confrontation and difficulty, and the second is that he has now figured out why Tang Qian can stay on the court for so long. It must be Kobe Bryant's guy who gave him a move, he has never seen No. 29 play like this before, and he has always taken into account both offense and defense.
So if you want to quickly deplete your opponent's stamina, this is also a good way.
As long as the physical fitness is not enough, then Tang Qian's offensive and defensive threat will be greatly reduced, and it is not so important.
Paul's brain is still very good, and there are so many mysteries hidden in a "trash talk" that ordinary people really can't do it to this extent. But Tang Qian was not fooled, because he still said that he wanted the team to win, and if he won the game, he could change it back. After all, it is rare to see a No. 1 position as strong as Paul's defensive pressure.
Even if Jeremy Lin bumped into Curry, he wouldn't be crushed so badly, and the system wouldn't work.
At most, it was blown up by the attack, and the system urged it still not to be like Paul.
Therefore, Tang Qian's idea is that in this round of the series, kill the opponents and let them out tonight. There's no need to go for another tie-break. Otherwise, if he wants to fight like this again, he is actually a little "panicked" in his heart.
Seeing that the opponent on the offensive end was not fooled, Paul secretly spat in his heart, but the Lakers are now Jeremy Lin is off the court, and it is not easy for Famar to control the ball over half the court, do you still want him to urge "seven seconds or less"? You can't do it under normal circumstances. What's more, it is still Chris who is standing in front of him now. Paul.
The ball was given to Jimmy. Butler attacked, Butler singled Barnes, he was still too tender, and the latter's ferocious and even dirty defensive means made Butler's performance in this series significantly worse than the previous round. He suddenly felt that he had faced the league's first percentile James. Harden, it's so light-hearted. At least on the offensive end.
Harden won't be like Barnes, so disregarding his image and physical fitness, biting like a mad dog.
Butler's shot was off, he is not as tough as he will be in the future, and for the first time he took the initiative to take responsibility for the outside offensive arrow, the regular season was a little softer than the playoffs. Too many shots to finish is not a good way to go.
"Protect the rebound!" Paul shouted.
But the ball happened to fall on Tang Qian's hand, and the rebound was solid, and Tang Qian attacked when he took the ball, causing Jordan Jr.'s defensive foul. 1 of 2 free throws from the free throw line. Turning around, Paul first easily passed Famar, and the Lakers didn't have time to form a defense, so they could only watch him enter near the free throw line. If Paul chooses to stop and shoot this ball, in fact, Tang Qian has no choice, but he is a god who chooses a board to change hands and layups, Tang Qian is not polite at all, and interferes with it, although there is no block, but the effect has been achieved. After he got this defensive rebound, he gave it to Farmar, but unfortunately the Lakers didn't score it, and wasted a good opportunity to close the score difference.
Paul used the help of blocking and dismantling to enter the interior line, and he did not choose to pass, but a high throw projection, challenging Tang Qian head-on.
Tang Qian jumped high and jumped the rocket cap, barely touched the ball, and the basketball lost its track and suddenly fell.
Little Jordan wanted to come over and pick up the ball, but was pushed away by Tang Qian, if the ball was in the regular season, it would probably be a foul, but in the playoffs, it was still the fourth quarter, which was nothing. The inside line, not against the strong point, is not like words. Did the referee receive the instructions from above, so he still tacitly took a blind eye.
Tang Qian passed the ball out, and at the same time did not forget to mock Paul and said: "Now I know that I am the strongest C position." Remember to pitch higher next time. The corners of Paul's mouth twitched, and there was a flash of fire in his eyes, and he actually stole Famar's dribble directly on the defensive end, and then dunked with one hand. Paul dunks, it's not very common, but he dunked it tonight. Turning his head to Tang Qian, he said, "Then do you know how powerful my strongest PG is?" ”
It's good that everything is going according to plan, keep it up.
I don't have much physical time and I have to turn it around and definitely can't play overtime.
The Lakers' projection is biased again, and the team that relies on the system to score will be exposed at the same time once the offense has no system. You have to admit that this team does not have a person who can be used as a stable scoring point after being controlled as a tactical failure system. Bosh is not enough, Tang Qian is not enough, and the rest of the people are even more insufficient.
Especially when you encounter a team like the Clippers that has a balanced offense and defense, and this is especially true in the playoffs.
The team lacks a system connection, and the whole thing is playing simple.
And it's that pejorative simplicity.
In the Clippers' offensive round, Paul made a blocking gesture, but after he got in, somehow, he didn't get out, but continued to play on his own. The ball was also interfered with by Tang Qian, and it still didn't hit. However, the basketball was taken by Griffin, and Griffin wanted to break through, but he glanced at the inside line and temporarily changed it to a mid-range shot. This ball Bosh played to his defensive advantage of agility, height, and arm length, giving "Short-handed Fen" a block interference that was still a few inches away from forming.
The basketball flew away, Tang Qian won the rebound, and he passed the ball to Famar, but ...... Once again, he was hit by a steal from the Clippers at the No. 3 spot. Paul really wanted to win this ball, he made a feint to break through the shot, but Tang Qian saw it, and this ball made little Jordan almost not catch it. In order to stabilize the basketball and regroup, the fleeting opportunity under the inside basket is gone, and what awaits little Jordan is Tang Qian's handsome face of "telling you to shoot quickly".
Handsome? Why should I think his face is handsome? I'm more handsome, okay? I can directly play Uncle Liu's man. Can he compare to me?
In short, no matter what messy thoughts flashed in Little Jordan's mind, he didn't shoot this ball after all. In order to avoid attacking for three seconds, he could only hastily find someone and pass over. The ball was passed very badly, because Redick in the bottom corner happened to be standing next to Ariza, and in order to receive this hasty pass, the whole person was almost about to step outside the sideline, how could Ariza, who was a defensive warrior of this good opportunity, let it go, and then forced Redick to stop the ball.
Stopping the ball in this place is actually equivalent to the end of it, Redick has no choice but to come to a dry pull back shot, and in order to avoid Ariza's block, he didn't aim at the basket at all. It's just throwing it out by feeling, and not being covered is success. When ~ the basketball really touches the basket, there is no three non-sticks, Redick's shooting direction still looks very good, and the vacant accurate shooter or even the vacant shot is not fake.
But unfortunately, he can only do this, in terms of shooting without shooting space, he is not as good as Nick. What about Yang.
This aspect is completely different from the vacancy projection large space projection capability requirements.
Don had the potential to get this defensive rebound against everyone, and at this time he did a very decisive thing, he did not give the ball to Famar immediately after taking the ball, but made a steady gesture before passing the ball over. And this ball, he also helped Famar as a shot in the process of running to the front court. Finally the basketball arrived in the front court, Tang Qian helped Bosh block and dismantle, Bosh took the opportunity to raise his foot to catch the ball, and then turned around and shot out a mid-range shot.
Brush ~ hit.
The Lakers are just one point away from the Clippers.
It was another 1 point, and there was this time in the third quarter, but that wave of Lakers didn't take the opportunity.
This time there was absolutely no way to waste, and D'Antoni also let Jeremy Lin go to the technical table and play when he was ready to play when the ball was dead.
The Clippers also knew that the game was coming to a critical moment, and they also slowed down the tempo and prepared to play for the success rate. Basketball naturally focused on the team's No. 3 position, Chris. Paul's hand. That's one of the biggest threats and biggest flaws for the Clippers. Paul, very stable, but the key attacking ability, is not outstanding. In the last situation, he has not had a few times in his career, and he can only say who met who was unlucky. Besides, even in the last game, he didn't taste the final stalemate, and the game was already decided.
Why can "Magic" win so many championships and lead the team to invincibility? The key is, he can tackle it, he can attack it, he can attack it. Jordan Bryant has clearly said the characteristics of "Magic", he will choose a lot of low backs to resolutely solve problems at critical moments. Moreover, the height of the "magician", unless you play the inside line, the beater and the outside line are basically misplaced. So, he can be the best PG in history, and Paul can't do it.
A person who can't tackle tough problems by himself at a critical moment, no matter how powerful and stable he is, he has to rely on his teammates to eat.
If your teammates can't, then you can only do it in vain.
To put it simply, Paul could not grasp the most critical moment, a time when he could only pin more hope on others. Therefore, the team with him as the core is very stable, and there is no need to worry about the basics in the playoffs every year, but ...... It definitely won't go far. Look at James, he passed a lot of balls in the regular season, and he shot more shots in the playoffs, whether it was per game or the highest in a single season, do you believe it?
After James returned to the Cavaliers, he became more and more aware of a problem, that is, he must be resolute in key attacks.
That's why before the 2017 Finals, within 3 points of the last 2 minutes of the Finals, James shot more than Kobe, but Kobe's assists were about twice as high as James every 36 minutes. 7.5 vs. 3.7. It's that big.
Both of these people have a very strong ability to attack, so they can be transformed into each other, and if the opponent pounces fiercely, I will solve the problem in another way. This is also the reason why Kobe Bryant played more reasonably in the finals, and James played more Kobe. But Paul has a problem here, that is, he can't switch states at will like these two people, and his offense is lacking, so when he gets to the playoffs, he will seem a little "powerless" and "not energetic".
Naturally, it was also difficult for the team to break the ceiling.
Griffin and these people are also key to tackling the problem, and Paul still understands it too late.
His type, in fact, should be matched with a player with strong offensive ability, so that he usually does it, the key is that the other party comes to harvest, so that he is basically invincible. Look at the original space-time future, he and Harden form a light bulb combination, how powerful is the regular season? The playoffs are not good, that's Harden's habitual malaise, and he can't help it. If Harden's playoffs are the same as the regular season, it is estimated that it can really become "Hellfire Houston". There is no problem with being tough and cosmic.
Kobe Bryant also told him about this characteristic, so Tang Qian just wanted to lure Paul Duoduo to make his own move.
First of all, the Clippers have a single connection, and secondly, he also sees that Paul is not attacking enough, so he plans to do so.
Again, Paul is calculating him, and he is calculating Paul, depending on who can have the last laugh.
It's a game, a game between the bosses of the team.
It is also Tang Qian's first game as the boss in the real sense.
Dealing with the Rockets didn't make him feel this way because of the special circumstances, which ......
It's the playoffs.
PS: Haha~ Actually, it's still a chapter.,Let's get up and watch it~Roar~~~.
