The first day of the new year, January 1, 2017, New Year's Day, as the saying goes, the new year has a new atmosphere, and it seems that the NBA is also the same. Everyone felt that there was a slight joy in the atmosphere of the alliance. On the first day of the new year, the Lakers had a game against the Toronto Raptors. The Raptors' current record is really good, with 22 wins and 10 losses, and they are already in a high position in the East, as if announcing that this perennially mediocre team is about to rise.

The team's 2 All-Star perimeter also makes this team in the East, with a good configuration.

Plus Dwayne. Casey is very good at tactical setup, and the regular season was very effective, which allowed them to sit in the first place in the Eastern Conference for a while. Even now, they are only one and a half wins away from first place. I have to say, the East is a good mix, if this record is in the West, that is, the playoffs can be guaranteed, but it will definitely not be in the top five.

Facing the Raptors, the Lakers don't have much emotion as a whole, why isn't there emotion? Don't you just think that this team is very easy to play and there is no pressure at all? As far as the scoring ability of their two All-Star outside is concerned, it can't be turned over. The Lakers are now very confident in their overall defensive system.

As soon as the game began, the Lakers were old drivers of play, with continuous ball passing, stable positional offense, and strong defense, which made the Raptors not score a point within 5 minutes. It was DeRozan who forced a mid-range shot, which broke the egg for the Raptors. The Lakers were already leading by 12 points by this time. The Raptors are a team, in fact, the head coach has a strong control, to put it bluntly, it is a bit similar to the NCAA league, the nature of a college team. The manager's tactics are bigger than the players themselves.

This is also the reason why the Raptors' regular season record is so good.

See Raptors head coach Dwayne. Casey called a timeout, and knew that he was going to arrange the tactical ball, but the Lakers were not afraid, and they had an attitude of covering up the water with soldiers, and even a little expectation. Because of the defensive tactical ball, our Lakers team really didn't fear anyone. The Raptors came up with a layout of playing one big and four small, wanting to solve the problem of positional battles, increase the team's offensive space, and increase the Lakers' defensive range in order to create more defensive gaps.

For the average team, one big and four small are even the ultimate space configuration, such as the Rockets. The Golden State Warriors are the only ones who can really play with infinite space and regularize it. The rest, it's all extravagant hopes. It's a pity, as the Raptors said before, there is a big fatal wound, that is, their three-point point is not enough. You look at the lineup they put out tonight, getting rid of Lowry and Demaré up front. Carol, the other three are actually ...... There's no three-point ability. DeRozan is shooting around 26 percent from three-point range this season, and newcomer Pascal is shooting around 26 percent from three-point range. Siakam 14% three-pointer, center Jonas. Valanciunas has no three-point ability.

So, how much more space do you want to open up? Please see if Team Rocket's side is good, the people are directly putting people in the position of 8~9 meters. And there is also a stable range, which is called the limit pull, one big and four small is good.

Practicing three-point strikes is also a compulsory course for D'Antoni's team, and he even wanted Tang Qian to practice it at the beginning.

So ah, Dwayne. Casey's idea is good, and there is no big problem with his thinking, but his on-court staffing is problematic. Of course, it is also possible that he does not dare to replace the rest of the people, because the Raptors' single-point defense is not good, and there are mostly functional players, so it is easy to be beaten by the Lakers by random substitutions.

Seeing that there was no way to break the game in this lineup, Casey changed another move, Lowry top the arc, DeRozan waist, Valanciunas cut out in the middle, and then Demarrey. Carroll looked for an opportunity to shoot around from distance. It's a good tactical idea, but it's a pity that it's ...... was seen through by the Lakers, and then prevented to death. Again, the defense was stopped.

Even if this is a complete failure of the tactical ball, it can only be a strong shot, I rely on it, I was lucky, and I went in.

However, this kind of goal has no impact on the Lakers, because everyone knows that you can't score a few goals in a game like you. If you really rely on a ball like this to score, the Raptors will lose all their pants tonight. Coach Casey wants to do another off-ball sweep to clear the right wing, because this is the area where DeRozan has the strongest scoring ability and the highest shooting percentage. As a head coach, how to let his players attack in the most confident offensive area is also a science, and it is not just a simple tactical coaching.

But the Lakers made a fake substitution, and then quickly pounced on it and directly wrapped it up!

DeRozan didn't expect the ball a little bit, he wanted to pass the ball, but found that as soon as he passed the ball, it was not good. Because the man standing in that place is, the center, Jonas. Valanciunas. This guy doesn't have a three-point range at all. How did he end up in this position? It's very simple, Tang Qian directly pushed him out, plus he himself is a little smart, he wants to go to the high position to attract it, and then cut in, who knows, the Lakers suddenly wrapped, DeRozan can only give him the ball.

All of this, as simple as it seems, is detached, but in fact, it is a whole, and it is also a manifestation of the Lakers' overall defensive system. Otherwise, if you think about it, why did such a thing happen so coincidentally? That's the difference between having a defensive system and not having one. Seeing that he was completely isolated in the high position, he wanted to shoot directly, but Randle suddenly switched to it, making him unable to advance or retreat.

I don't give you any more chances.

This ball, if DeRozan has a strong one-man ability to break the bag and a strong scoring ability, then he can also work hard and make the Lakers' defense ineffective, but he can find more opportunities to dominate the offense. But he couldn't. Even this season, his average points per game has reached a career high, and 27+ points is still not enough. He has a big weakness, that is, the ability to break the bag, not good. And if the ability to break the bag is not good, it means that your giant planet is not stable enough. Especially in the playoffs, when the defensive scale comes together, the package and the help defense are common things, and if you can't break the game, then the team will fall into passivity.

Even if the manager's tactical ability is good, it is useless, because the stronger the defensive scale, the more difficult it is for the team's tactics to run out. Unless you can get to the point where you can get to the Spurs in '14, but ...... How many times in history? So superstars, superstar moments, that's what any team needs. The Raptors lack this, and they are destined to not go far in the playoffs.

DeRozan's playoffs this season are a good example, with 27+ points in the regular season, and he was a first-class scorer, but in the playoffs, he suddenly wilted to 22+ points. 5+ points per game, that is equivalent to dropping gears directly. From a first-class scorer to a quasi-first-class scorer all of a sudden, what is this? The Raptors can't go far in the playoffs, in fact, their stars need to bear a lot of responsibility! The playoffs are the stage for superstars and superstars.

No, you just want to be exposed.

Therefore, under the Lakers' high-energy tacit defense, the Raptors can't play the tactics they want to implement at all, and they can't rely on stars to break the game and drag the score for the time being. Neither DeRozan nor Lowry can do it, and although it can't be said that they don't score at all, their efficiency and shooting percentage are miserable. On the other hand, on the Lakers' side, Rondo is firmly in control of the ball and the scene, and he is now the champion point guard of the two teams, and his control of the scene and rhythm is becoming more and more spicy. The Lakers, a team that gives him absolute possession, also makes him extremely comfortable, so he sees an opportunity, he shoots the ball, and then Ariza scores a layup.

Because he also believes in the number 29, there was no chance when the ball was played, but when he got there, the opportunity had already come out. Because Tang Potential helped Ariza block the defender tightly in the low post. Ariza scored, Rondo got the assist, and everyone was happy, but Tang Qian, who had no data, seemed a little unremarkable.

But this, the importance of a team system, is very important, Tang Qian is willing to do this, and he can do it well, and it is also the key point that the Lakers can sweep all the way in the playoffs last year. Otherwise, do you really think that the balls are all superstars, and the balls are all singles and tough? That's not realistic. With so many points in a game, most of them are actually scored and scored in this inconspicuous way.

Tang Qian has become more and more aware of how to help the whole team become stronger, instead of being like "Brother Thick Eyebrows", just having beautiful data, looking at the data of the team, I can't bear to look at it directly.

There was no way, seeing that the score difference was getting bigger and bigger, Casey could only choose to go off the rails and start using some more risky tactics in order to break the game. This is, he asked Valanciunas on the inside to come over and make the wall all the way, and don't think about what the inside cut after the block and dismantle is smoothed, just do your seven-foot meat wall, and then create opportunities for the outside line.

Casey's move is to be simple or simple, since the more complicated running tactics can't be played tonight, then it has to be changed.

Lowry played around his teammates' cover wall, and if he wanted to drill out, he was a three-pointer, and when it came to three-point hard shooting, he was the number one in the entire Raptors. However, the Lakers are not the Cavaliers, their defense is tight, even if Lowry gets the first opportunity, then the Lakers immediately make a substitution, and Ariza reaches out to block. So fast? Lowry was also a little surprised, the Lakers' overall defensive ability is too terrible, and any hole can be filled by them very quickly.

No wonder...... The Cavaliers are beaten by them every year. Well, not without reason.

Bang ~ hit the iron ~ Tang Qian protected the rebound, the Lakers spread out on the line, Rondo cut in, Tang Qian covered, fake, false block, and then went directly to the other side to cut inside, Rondo made a layup and passed, high throwing, Tang Qian raised his arm to catch the ball, and pressed into the net with one hand.

Air relay ~~~ There are statistics, Tang Qian is the one in this alliance, the No. 5 position has the most air relays.

It's not worse than the first place a few times, which is really athletic.

As a point guard, how many people don't want to have such a monster around them that can easily fly away? It's also convenient to brush assists like this. If you look at Paul and Kidd, you can understand that if you are surrounded by floor streams, you can catch a fart. Throwing it into the sky is also embarrassing for your teammates.

Tang Qian will not have this problem, even if the opportunity is not particularly good, he can rely on his personal ability to forcibly get it back and help Rondo force an assist.

This feeling is so cool, and as a point guard of the Lakers, it is really happy.

Just like that, at halftime, the Lakers went into the locker room with a 51-25 lead of a full 26 points.

At this time, there is still a discussion on the Internet, whether there will be another single 50-point game tonight.

Or even less than 50 points? Last time, the Cavaliers ate such a big deflate.

In the locker room, the atmosphere was originally relatively relaxed, until someone came in and called Tang Qian, and then gave Tang Qian his private phone and said, "Hot, someone is looking for you, it seems to be in a hurry, take a look." ”

Tang Qian was still discussing waiting for such a fight, but he was interrupted by this one, stunned, and then took the phone, and it was actually his college classmate, Lu Yang. "What's the situation? Lu Yang? In such a hurry? I'm competing. As soon as Tang Qian finished asking, the people inside said in a low voice: "I really don't want to hide this matter from you, I can't help it, even if I have been specially explained, I don't want to endure it now." ”

"What do you mean? You're talking this brainlessly. Tang Qian said with a frown.

"I can't talk about this, you can call and ask yourself anyway. I'm just telling you that there is such a situation. ”

"Calling? To whom? Tang Qian was stunned.

"Call Zhou Zhiru's parents."

"Then I'll play after the game is over, and it should be noon over there."

"Okay, I'm hanging."

"Okay."

Tang Qian hung up the phone, a little puzzled, he and Zhou Zhiru's parents knew each other, but shouldn't they go directly to Zhou Zhiru? What does it mean to call her parents yourself now? Tang Qian sent a text message to Zhou Zhiru, but there was still no response. He was still thinking about it, and his teammates on the Lakers asked, after all, he was still in the game, and his professionalism and professionalism should also be finished after this game.

What's going on? Tang Qian suddenly became a little irritable inexplicably.

What the hell is she doing! The phone is not answered! Text messages don't reply! Even if there is anything, there is no need to do this, right? Really! You must teach her a good lesson when you go back, this little girl doesn't take her boss seriously! Do you think I'm going to withhold her money? It's just too much!!

With something in his heart, Tang Qian followed the team back into the player tunnel with some depression.

PS: This hole should be filled, it's not that simple, don't be surprised, maybe it's not the same as you think.
