With a simple operation, George Carr woke up Cousins and told him to avoid going to the low post and instead go to the outside to shoot. ◢ With * dream ◢ small *.lā this point has a great effect. To put it simply, it's a huge dislocation. Similar to the Timberwolves' Towns' style of play. Towns hasn't fully developed the three-point shot this season, but Cousins has done so. This is also the offseason special training project after he was deflated by the Lakers' No. 29 in previous seasons.

From averaging 0 three-pointers per game last season, to averaging more than 3+ per game this season, there will be more in the future. Of course, Cousins' overall projection is still a lot worse than Downs'. Because Downs is a full-coverage type, from the basket to the three-point line, it is all his effective range, and the shooting rate is terrible. Cousins couldn't, he just forced his three-pointer. His mid-range shooting percentage is 0-foot-25 this season, and his -23-foot mid-range shooting percentage is just 3-to-5. Such a person obviously relies on muscle memory to forcibly train the range, but I have to say that this is a trend of almost everyone in the league now, especially the center.

The existence of Tang Qian has accelerated this trend, because everyone feels that it is too difficult to fight him hand-to-hand under the basket, and the data is easy to be forced to suppress by offense and defense. That's too humiliating. So going outside to make a living is also a way. Anyway, it's just to play the Lakers to increase the long-range attack ratio, and to play the rest of the teams, it can still be balanced.

Tang Qian didn't know that he had already made the NBA's center set off a 3-point wave, otherwise you said Cousins would still be alive tonight? How much more points he averages per game? That's the credit of the 3-pointer.

You said how Cousins' range was in the playoffs, big brother, I also want to know wow, he hasn't made the playoffs, okay.

Maybe the future is unlucky, and it has nothing to do with him if he goes in.

But you have to say that such a change makes the Kings' scoring come alive, and it won't be the same as just now. Cousins hit two three-pointers in a row, and the Lakers were caught off guard. This made Cousins laugh out loud and proudly: "Dongfang Iron, did you see it?" I scored, or a three-pointer! Can you? ”

"Don't be funny, the inside line who doesn't have the dominance to go to the outside line to fly a kite, you are, I'm obviously not."

The Lakers took a wing cut, Farmar broke through, and was blocked by the Kings, but because the intensity of the defense was not great, Farmar could calmly play the ball. The basketball was given to Josh Smith, who saw the opportunity and stepped out and flew into the air on one leg. Looking at his posture, he is going to stage a big violent buckle. Josh Smith, there is really nothing to say about the physicality, if his ball quotient and comprehension could be better, he would not have messed up so badly. It's a pity that he just doesn't have a brain sometimes.

That's a pity.

At this time, the Kings suddenly turned into a basket contraction, and Cousins stepped up and blocked Smith's dunk in the air. Cousins is also a Behemoth center this season, with a tonnage of 308 pounds, which is not a fake. Although it is not as pure muscle as Tang Qian, it is enough to deal with an outside player. You think everyone is James?

No, even if it's James this season, Cousins has the confidence to block hard.

Josh Smith didn't score the ball, his hand work after the confrontation was not fine, the basketball went off the basket, the Kings pushed it quickly when they got the ball, and the Lakers retreated quickly and didn't let the opponent play this quick defensive counterattack. The Kings saw that the opportunity was not good, so they gave Guy on the wing and prepared to use him to single Josh Smith. Guy was about to attack, and Cousins forced the ball at the top arc: "pass~give me~" Guy looked at it, gave it to him, and stopped attacking himself.

Cousins held the ball, and the Lakers rotated Randle in order to keep Don hidden under the basket and in the low post, which is a defensive rotation strategy that Larry Brown asked the entire team to practice more inside after coming to the Lakers. The purpose is to maximize the extent to let Tang Qian stay under the basket and not be easily transferred out as easily as last season.

But Cousins is not an ordinary center, he has not only practiced three-point shooting this season, but also as I said before, this guy, the ability to dribble and break through, is estimated to be the best among centers. It can be ranked on the top in history. Randle's defense, although he has a lot of momentum, is still a sophomore in the end, and he was reimbursed for half a season last year, so Cousins simply shook it off. Shoot to score.

What's wrong with the current center? That's how Downs is like this, Cousins is like this, how do they play?

Larry Brown also felt a little headache, because if Cousins just practiced three points, it would be fine, but the problem is that this guy's breakthrough ability is also very strong. This creates a natural dislocation. If you're short, his strength and height will eat you directly, and if you're on the inside, people can also use the breakthrough to dribble. Although Randle has a good defensive attitude and trains hard in the team, he is young after all, and his defensive talent is not the kind that is naturally visible to the naked eye. Therefore, it is really difficult for him to defend Cousins, who is already averaging nearly 27 points per game this season.

On the Lakers' side, Randle directly impacted, but he couldn't score, and his hand work was still a little rough.

Basically, it is a "three-plate axe", which is easy to be seen through and targeted.

Cousins was happy to score consecutive points, and in the face of the Lakers' man-marking, he actually made a false shake + left-handed dribble acceleration, and scored a throw against Randle's body. Randall was also awarded a thug foul. In the end, it's still too tender, and with the physical advantage he is most proud of in the college league, and Cousins is gone, it's no surprise that he can't defend.

Adding the penalty shooting rate, Cousins scored a wave of consecutive individual points, and the competitive state also came, and he began to shout loudly to Tang Qian: "Dongfang hot, how is it?" Are you ready to call Mommy? Tang Qian was also speechless, if it weren't for the Lakers now full of wounded soldiers, wouldn't it be easy and happy to play the Kings? But now, it's true that the Lakers' offense is a bit dumb. The previous impact was a little weaker, and the lack of individual ability and individual attack ability of the team players was gradually exposed. No kidding, Butler, the main scorer on the perimeter, who averages about 20 points per game, is not there, and the team's star No. 4 spot has also been announced for the season. This time, the Lakers have changed from a lack of scoring points to a lack of scoring points.

Former bench Famar, former substitute Josh Smith, sophomore Randle, 3-and-D player Ariza, this is the scoring firepower of the current Lakers lineup. If it weren't for the Kings' defense being so bad, this problem would have been highlighted and exposed earlier. Remember when Jordan Kobe Bryant Maddy scored fiercely, but the rest of the team couldn't score? That's really hard, no matter how powerful it is, it's hard to beat your opponent easily.

In this game, the Lakers were a little bit of this meaning, Famar broke through the layup and was covered, Josh Smith missed the impact, Tang Qian got the rebound in the front court, gave Ariza the middle distance, and still missed. The Lakers are clearly in a slump in their overall hand, and someone needs to step up and take the scoring load. At least go through this paragraph.

Tang Qian received the ball, but unexpectedly, the ball was directly wrapped by the Kings, yes, it was a package instead of a defense, and it came up all of a sudden. Tang Qian almost missed after receiving the ball, and it looked like the head coach of the Kings had changed the defensive posture on the court. This is also what the Kings said in the locker room, as long as the rest of the Lakers feel bad, then immediately adopt a trap tactic for the Lakers' No. 29. It's actually a gamble, and any bag is a gamble to break up your own defensive lineup.

If Tang Qian is Howard's bad ability to shoot the ball, he is likely to be surrounded to death. But although Tang Qian almost made a mistake, he still got the ball, and at the same time made a decisive move, and the basketball was given to the vacated Randle, who shot in the middle. Striking iron. Tang Qian jumped high again and helped the team grab this frontcourt rebound, but before he could do it himself, the Kings were instantly trapped, making him fall into the crowd.

Tang Qian also calmed down, passed it out, and still gave it to Randall, and Randall made a shot, but he still missed.

His shooting ability is so bad that if Bosh shoots through the opponent's basket every minute.

Randle's original time and space was only -23 feet in 208 with a shooting percentage of 25 from mid-range range. This hit rate is equal to, you can let him shoot, and a little pounce is basically iron. At this time, Tang Qian showed his strong rebounding ability. He actually stuck Cousins and got the offensive rebound again.

"Besiege him !!!!" The Kings shouted.

Tang Qian's ball came directly to 3 people, Tang Qian almost made a mistake, it is not fun to be surrounded by so many people, this is an inside line, not like the outside line, there is still so much dribble or starting space. Tang Qian forcibly sent the ball, which Famar attracted the defense and quickly gave it to Josh Smith, who was empty on the other side because of his defense. Josh Smith misses a 3-pointer. There's no way around it.

The opportunity is out, but it doesn't feel good.

Kings Cousins drew a high-post playmaker, handing it to a teammate, and Darren Collison shot a three-pointer. The latter has a 3-point shooting percentage of more than 4 percent this season. In addition, Cousins used the large tonnage to block the ball well, and it was almost empty.

Brush ~ hit ~ The morale of the Kings was thoroughly raised.

The score difference was closed again.

"Dongfang Yan, I said, I want to beat you in this game! You're an all-star guy who relies on the country's people to become an all-star! Now, I'm going to expose you! Give me your name as the first center. Cousins laughed, he was a man who had something to say, and that blunt remark was sometimes even more irritating.

"Do you really think you can do it to me?"

"It turns out, this game, I'll lead the team to win, you're the loser." Cousins was quite satisfied with his performance in this section, so his words were a little drifting: "Take out all your skills, Dongfang Ran, no, show your 15% ability, otherwise you really can't win against me." ”

"Are you sure you want to see 15 percent of my abilities?" Tang Qian suddenly asked.

"Yes. Anyway, this ball, you can't do it. ”

"Hmm." Tang Qian sneered: "Okay then. ”
