Chapter 689: I'll Help Them Get It! (10,000 words explosion completed ~ ask for tickets ~)
The Warriors are still the same, playing cover shots, this is Kerr's requirement, if you can not be one-on-one, try not to be one-on-one, as long as you can score, one-on-one scoring and covering scoring, there is no essential difference. This can be regarded as Cole being influenced by European basketball, which is limited in singles, one is the problem of ability, and the other is that it cannot be drawn. Compared to the easy cover breakthrough score, this is too strenuous.
The Warriors actually don't have a particularly strong one-on-one heads-up, so Kerr didn't think about playing "star heads-up" in this game. Of course, it's not that he wants to be different and unique, his purpose is purely to win. If the team had someone like Jordan Bryant, he would not hesitate to set up a triangle or pull a single. But if not, he's biased towards two-on-one. What two-on-one, offensive and defensive, it's all two-on-one.
Offense relies on pick-and-rolls and covers, which is two-on-one.
The defense relies on the joint defense of the bag and the sandwich, which is also two against one.
It's something he learned from Popovich, and it's a good fit for a team that doesn't have a lot of individual ability.
After Duncan aged, Popovich was more likely to take this kind of non-one-on-one singles scoring, anyway, the essence of basketball is a scoring game, as long as the ball can be sent into the net, the viewing degree is high or low, this is not something he to consider. As a manager, he only thinks about how to win and how to make his opponents lose.
Besides, team basketball or democratic basketball is really played, and it is not necessarily uglier than the star singles, and it is also a kind of offensive ornamentation, isn't it? This year's Spurs will be the strongest before the Warriors, with no one looking forward to it, the core is seriously aging, but it still rushed to the Finals and avenged last year's one-shot victory.
By what? Personal ability? No, it's team basketball.
This is not to promote what mode or style of play, superstar basketball and team basketball, which is more suitable for your own team is the key, there is no absolute superiority or inferiority. You are like the Los Angeles Lakers, even in the "" era, it is superstar basketball dominated by "Magic" Johnson and "Sky Hook" Abdul-Jabbar, but their strongest core is the No. 1 position.
In competitive sports, winning is the key, and the rest is all on paper.
Success or defeat is the most suitable for use here.
The Warriors shot outside, brushed ~, and the ball went in, the Lakers' overall defense was really sparse, except for Tang Qian and Kobe, the rest didn't even reach the average level. The rotation is more and more chaotic, and you can't see the appearance of a strong team in the league at all.
Although they are now in the top two in the league and have a current record of 23 wins and 3 losses, it is also true that they can defend a pot of porridge. This is still Tang Qian sitting on the inside line, if not, Kobe Bryant alone, no matter how much he surpasses the peak, it will be the fate of losing.
An outside lineman, at most, is a defender, and Jordan and Leonard are the same.
Only the inside line has the ability to deter many people under the basket.
Therefore, ESPN's Lakers record "bubble theory" now seems to make a lot of sense.
They are a one-man offensive team and a two-person defensive team, as long as they encounter a real strong team, a real master, it is easy to be pierced through the armor and expose rotten flesh. Cole, that's what I'm here to do.
He has won three consecutive championships with Jordan, and he is particularly shocked by the difficulty of any performance.
Therefore, he never felt that this Los Angeles Lakers team was as strong and powerful as it was.
97-105, there is still an 8-point score difference, and the clock has only 5 minutes and 19 seconds left.
The Lakers' Kobe Bryant passed, and in the face of the Warriors, whose defense was getting higher and higher, the rest of the Lakers were a little overwhelmed, no, Wesley Johnson's shot, knocked the basket again, wasting the Lakers' opportunity to narrow the gap. Kobe Bryant was angry with the ball because the opportunity had come out and the vacancy was huge, but the Lakers' No. 11 was thrown.
Statistics, Wesley. The further back Johnson played, the lower his shooting percentage became, which only shows one thing, his mental quality and ability to play tough battles, sorry for his No. 4 pick in the first round. It is not uncommon to become a water dispenser and a "parallel import" in the future.
The ball landed well, right on Bogut's head, and Bogut was also stuck in position early, ready to protect the backcourt rebound. He didn't have 1 rebound in the front court in this game, and only 4 rebounds in the back court, no matter how you look at it, it's a bit shabby, I'm sorry for his own average of 10+ rebounds per game this season.
And his contract is about to expire after this season, and he is now negotiating with the Warriors management, if he performs too badly against Tang Qian, he will inevitably lose impression points. For the sake of a big contract, Bogut also fought hard, and he actually exploded!
Also, in the 2013-2014 season, he averaged 10+ rebounds per game, which was the highest single season in the latter part of Bogut's career. However, this is not a reason for Tang Qian to sympathize with him. The Lakers' No. 29 took advantage of the sliding step, pressed his body, and squeezed to Bogut's side, and then used his card position advantage to quickly deprive Bogut of the advantageous position under the basket.
This made Bogut very angry, he repeated his old tricks, and wanted to interfere with Tang Qian with small movements, but this time, Tang Qian was unmoved, collapsed his waist, jumped in position, and won this offensive rebound. Then Don sneaked to Steve on the outside. Blake, Steve. Blake made a three-point shot from the baseline.
Brush ~ Ball Score ~
At 100-105, the Lakers were only 5 points behind.
"You want to win me with this little gesture? You've been abused for nothing in the offseason. Tang Qian got the 20th rebound of the game, and Bogut's face turned red when he said this, and he glared at the former and said, "Do you really think that the rebounding ball belongs to your family?" Do you really think you're invincible in rebounding? ”
Tang Qianyan threw a sentence back when he heard this: "If the opponent is you, I don't think there is anything wrong with your words." ”
"What! This bastard!! "What's the use of Bogut exploding? Not to mention that Tang Qian has already exploded on the defensive end, even if he doesn't explode, can the Australians just beat him? It's still hard, it's hard. It's just that offensive rebounds aren't so easy to take.
Cole spotted the problem and he ran to Drummond on the sidelines. Green said: "I'm going to help Andrew when I get a chance, his rebounding is very difficult against that Oriental. Green nodded, he took it to heart.
The Warriors pass the ball, and this ball is pulled by Iguodal, and the ball is shot by Wesley. Johnson shot over the head, and he didn't put much pressure on it, but the ball was a little bit stronger, so it didn't go in. The rebound was protected by Tang Qian, and he got his 21st rebound of the game.
Bogut's whole person is like a huge inferior doll, useless, and there is no way to do it.
"Let's save some energy on backcourt rebounds, you don't have any role in frontcourt rebounds, really." Tang Qian didn't feel so uncomfortable when he saw Bogut's eyes, but felt a little funny.
This kind of opponent, he doesn't pay much attention to it anymore.
The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant's offensive pass was blocked, and the basketball went out of the sideline, but the referee ruled that it was the Lakers' frontcourt ball.
Kobe Bryant originally wanted to give an empty cut to the bottom, but Wesley. Johnson couldn't do it with his hands, and in the last moment of the layup, because of Bogut's interference, he lacked hand strength and the basketball slid out of the basket. This offensive rebounder Tang Qian's position is very bad, but it is not difficult for No. 29, he uses his speed and agility to force and Andrew . Bogut was stuck together, and the shoulders of the two sides were almost parallel, which meant that Tang Qian had the upper hand. After all, it was originally an offensive rebound, Bogut was much easier to grab than him, and Bogut occupied a positional advantage, and he could finally become a no position gap with Bogut, shoulder to shoulder, which is already a manifestation of ability.
Bogut now understands that he is really not the opponent of this guy in the back, whether he likes it or not, admits it or not, it is so, there is nothing to justify. But at this time, he had a helper appearing, and this person was Drummond, who had just memorized Cole's words. Green. As soon as he saw Green, Bogut reacted, he was the highest professional player in basketball after all, so he quickly changed his defensive purpose, and changed to directly compete for rebounds to block people and create rebounding opportunities for his teammates.
You ask Jordan. Where did Hill go? He just thought about going online to find a vacancy and cast in the middle of the shot! So for now, staying near the free throw line, you don't have to expect him to make any rebounding contributions for the time being!
offensive rebounds, and was blocked by others, Tang Qian's ball looks like there is no play, but the Lakers No. 29 doesn't admit defeat, but just wants a wave! With all his strength, he pushed Bogut half of his body, and then stretched out his super long arm and swiped it towards the orange basketball in front of him.
Green touched the rebound with both hands, but when he was about to take it down, someone flicked it up with half a palm, and Green was defenseless, so the ball was re-dialed into the sky!
Green was a little surprised, and was about to jump and grab again, but unexpectedly, someone caught the basketball one step ahead of him.
He is Tang Qian! Use your bounce speed and arm span to bounce twice and rebound in the front court!
This shot, this round, is simply a classic of the rebounding battle, with one against two, the counter-grab is successful.
But most of the Lakers were ready to retreat, and there was no one who could give Tang Qian favorable support for a while, Tang Qian had no choice but to force himself to jump, and then dunk on the spot. This ball naturally attracted the blocking of Bogut and Green, but fortunately, the referee finally blew the whistle and ruled that the Warriors were the No. 12 hitman, and the Lakers made two free throws on the 29th.
This is the fourth time Tang Qian has stood on the free throw line tonight, and the first 4 free throws, uh, very embarrassing, all missed, far below Tang Qian's normal free throw level. Tang Qian stood on the free throw line, took a deep breath, and aimed for a long time before shooting.
Brush ~ first penalty hit.
Tang Qian executed the second free throw, and it took a long time to aim before he shot cautiously, and the basketball stumbled several times on the basket, and finally ...... Still unwilling to fall into the Warriors' nets. Tang Qian's very rare 2 free throws and 2 hits, the surprise on his face was even more obvious than the success of the air relay just now.
At 102-105, the Lakers were only trailing by three-pointers. Cole called a timeout.
There are only 3 minutes and 01 seconds left in the game, and the Lakers have a bit of a momentum, and Kerr decisively interrupts it, and by the way, he also wants to explain the team's shortcomings and problems at the moment.
"Sir, I'm sorry, I just ......" Green wanted to apologize as soon as he came, but Cole stretched out his hand to stop him, and the latter took the first step and said: "It's okay, it's not your fault, that Oriental kid's rebounding ability is indeed very strong, I underestimated him." After Kerr finished speaking, he continued: "To deal with this kind of super rebounder, you have to be ruthless and humiliated. Did Rodman grab the rebounds? ”
The warriors shook their heads.
Cole smiled and said, "I just kept pestering him, pushing him and cursing at him, all the while, wondering when this damn training match was going to end." "The Warriors players were a little amused, and the atmosphere that had just come off the court was diluted a lot.
After Kerr achieved his goal, he said: "Now you have to control that Eastern center, Andrew, give you a task, you don't think about rebounding for a while, just stare at him and hold him up." The rebounding ball was for Drummond to grab, and the Lakers were missing No. 29, and the rebounding was not a threat. In that way, if we defend Kobe Bryant like before, we can win this game, and we can make the Los Angeles people go home in disgrace. ”
Bogut's face is actually a little unsightly, because he wants to brush up on data this season, and he is not very willing to do this kind of pure blue-collar meat shield thing. Cole noticed the problem, and he immediately turned his words back to Drummond. Green said: "Of course, Drummond, if Andrew's position is better, you also have to help him top and block people, don't be brainless~"
Green said yes because of this game, he finally found the feeling of his college days, and he was grateful to Steve from the bottom of his heart. Cole. And this remark also made Bogut's face look a lot better.
This Cole played the "Zen Master" set really well, and paid great attention to taking care of the personal emotions of the main players.
Don't think it's too much, basketball is played by people, whether a person's game mood is good or not, whether it is high or not, will have a direct impact on his competitive state. Why is the "Zen Master" also nicknamed "Superstar Nanny", that is, he manages all kinds of intricate relationships of the team, is extremely good at it, and can even be said to be unique in the entire NBA. Kerr noticed this when he was playing with the Bulls, so after careful study and speculation, he also became decent.
After the timeout, the two sides re-entered the court, and the Warriors attacked Steve with a passing ball. Blake this point, Steve. Blake tried his best to defend, but Clay was still outclassed. Thompson scored a throw near the free throw line. This is the gap in hard ability, and it is not a little so-called game attitude that can be offset and filled.
At 102-107, the Warriors held a five-point lead.
Lakers' Kobe Bryant broke through the ball, Wesley. Johnson shot again, when ~, still missed, so angry that Kobe Bryant almost burst into foul language.
But you can still do something to Wesley. How much expectation does Johnson have? He only shot around 34% from mid-range and mid-to-long range this season, and as an outside line, this is still an outside line that often shoots empty positions, and this shot is really a bit unsightly.
Tang Qian wanted to grab the rebound, but this time he was completely entangled by Bogut, that is, the way I don't want to rebound and block you, it turns out that Cole's method is very good, no matter how strong the rebounder is entangled like this, it is difficult to play at full strength. As for Jordan. Hill, he's still ready to find an open mid-range shot, and seems to have completely forgotten that he's a PF and he's an insider.
Bryant rushed for the rebound, but was eventually protected by Green.
Kerr nodded in satisfaction from the sidelines, feeling good about his on-the-spot response.
The Warriors attacked Jordan again. Hill, this time it's Green who pulls out a three-pointer straight from the inside, Jordan. Hill didn't have time to expand the defense at the first time, resulting in the latter making an empty three-point shot, brushing, and the ball went into ~102-110, and the three-point score difference suddenly expanded to 8 points. Looking at the rest of the game, the Lakers were passive.
Kobe Bryant's patience seems to be running out, his teammates' continuous iron, continuous waste of opportunities, make him angry, rush over is a top arc to pull out three points, brush ~, also score, but like this, the Lakers have no chance of winning.
105-110。
Something has to be done.
Tang Qian looked at Bogut in front of him, and he suddenly whispered: "Hey, Australian, look at you pitiful, how about I let you vote for one?" ”
"What?" Bogut was stunned.
"Bad ears?" Tang Qian said: "I'll let you vote for one, look at your pitiful, do you hear clearly?" ”
"Let me vote? You're arrogant, aren't you? Bastard Oriental! Bogut scolded.
"Really, I'm sincere." After saying that, Tang Qian deliberately let go of several positions, and then let Bogut have a seemingly sufficient space to shoot.
Could it be that what he said was true?
Bogut saw Tang Qian retreating, and he didn't think much about it, and immediately opened his hand to ask for the ball, and then turned around and hooked his hand to shoot.
Just kidding, wouldn't I want to give away points? That's a real statistic.
As soon as Bogut thought of this, a big hand suddenly covered his basketball, and then slapped it hard, and the Lakers regained offensive power.
"You, didn't you say let me vote for one!" Bogut saw the shot covered and directly questioned the Lakers No. 29.
"Hey, I said you were a fool, and you believe your opponent's words?" Tang Qian shook his head and ran to the front.
!!! Since you dare to fool me!! the Oriental Yankees!!
Bogut suffered a big loss, so he could only pinch his nose and admit it, trying to find it back later.
The Lakers shot, and the basketball was a low-post rebound, but Bogut's all-out entanglement with Tang Qian finally allowed Green to pick up the cheap.
Offensive rebound, and didn't get it.
Of course, this is a very normal thing, offensive rebounds are difficult to get, generally speaking, 15+ rebounds, frontcourt rebounds will not exceed 5+, Rodman averaged 18.7 rebounds per game at his peak, and frontcourt rebounds were 6+. Of course, this is an exaggeration, but it still proves the different difficulty of grabbing rebounds in the front court and rebounding in the back court.
But Tang Qian was unwilling, he felt that he had the possibility of breaking this law.
He felt that he could definitely replace Moses. Malone, becoming the new NBA frontcourt rebounding hegemon.
"Oriental boy, you can't! You don't want to touch the frontcourt rebounding ball again! Bogut seemed to be taking revenge on the "big hot pot" just now, so his voice was quite loud. Tang Qian turned his head, paused, and laughed coldly: "Okay! Give it a try! ”
Tang Qian didn't enter "The.Zone", but he managed to activate the rage, and although it was only a low rage of 21%, it was enough to reverse the situation. You must know that he is still explosive on the defensive end.
Brush ~ The Warriors hit another free-throw line shot, 105-112, and the lead was extended to seven points.
At this time, Tang Qian took the initiative to take the ball, and then called a timeout, and before D'Antoni could speak, the former opened his mouth and said: "Mr. D'Antoni, let's make a substitution." ”
"Substitutions? For whom? Tang Qian directly signed up and said, "Nick. Jan and Jodi. Meeks. ”
"What?" D'Antoni was surprised when he heard this: "Hot, now we are the laggard, Nick and Jodi are ...... the two of them"
"The two of them are worse defensive, aren't they?" Tang Qian seemed to anticipate what D'Antoni was going to say, so he blurted out: "It's okay, sir, I'll help them get it done." ”
"You?"
"Well, that's me."
Tang Qian replied calmly.
