It's hot, just wait and see.

I am completely different from before.

Five seconds later, the basketball fell into the Lakers' net bag, which made the Lakers a little stunned.

Because, this is actually a three-pointer???

Tang Qian was also a little dazed inside because his opponent had no intention of coming in.

The Thunder took the lead.

When the Lakers attacked, Tang Qian helped set up a screen near the free throw line. The team's No. 4 and No. 5 positions ran alternately. Finally, with the help of this screen, Kirk Hinrich got a chance. Hinrich III

The ball was shot, but it was a little crooked and did not hit the basket. Hinrich is also aging seriously, and injuries have long since made him no longer as brave as he used to be.

Just looking at the data, we can see that Hinrich has made more than 37% of his three-pointers in his career, but this season it is only about 34%. Not counting that, even his always stable long-range 2-pointers have also declined.

Seriously, 41% has dropped to around 36%. Under normal circumstances, this would be his penultimate season. In this situation, the NBA floor has to say goodbye to him.

This was a long rebound, and Thunder Westbrook got the ball in front of Wesley Johnson.

He quickly pushed for a fast break, but was followed by Ariza, the only remaining defensive player on the Lakers field. He did not completely hit this wave. After breaking through, although there was no Tang Qian inside, the chance was not very good. Wei Wei

Shao was about to take action when he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Serge Ibaka standing in the corner. He instantly decided to pass the ball over.

Ibaka caught the ball, shot an open three-pointer, and made a hit.

This is a bit surprising.

The Lakers were in a daze and made a pass error while dribbling. The Thunder controlled the final attack at the end of the second quarter. Thunder Westbrook slowly consumed time in the top arc. When it was almost time, he

After making a gesture, Ibaka came up for the pick-and-roll, and Tang Qian naturally followed. Westbrook used the pick-and-roll to get past Hinrich in one step and hit the inside with a quick stride.

Tang Qian followed behind him. At this distance, as long as Westbrook dared to layup, he was 80% sure to defend him and 50% sure to give the latter a big shot. However, Westbrook's ball suddenly broke through after 2 steps.

Throw it back, this direction is...

The direction Ibaka just jumped out after a high pick-and-roll.

The 45-degree three-point line on the left.

Tang Qian turned around, only to see that the opponent had already taken action, and the orange-red basketball streaked across the sky, and then accurately penetrated the Lakers' net.

Three more points.

Ibaka made 3 of 4 three-pointers in the first half.

This suddenly disrupted the Lakers' rhythm.

The Thunder entered the locker room with a 6-point lead at 58-52.

Before Ibaka left the field, he glanced at Tang Qian and said, "Hot, this is my progress."

"Don't think about making me lose points with you anymore."

At this time, Tang Qian suddenly thought of the player information he had seen before the game. Ibaka had a three-point shooting rate of more than 37% this season. In other words, his open three-pointers have been completely eliminated.

It has been developed. In addition, he also has a stable mid-range. Facing Tang Qian in this way, it is indeed no longer the same embarrassment as last season.

Because of Tang Qian, Ibaka worked hard on three-point shooting during the offseason, just so that he would not be completely restricted when meeting the Lakers again. In the previous games between the two teams this season, Ibaka was either injured or absent.

Without Westbrook and Durant in the game, there was no one to feed him the ball, and he couldn't use his open shots. So after holding back for so long, Ibaka found this opportunity for "revenge."

Yes, I can't beat you in the paint, so I can practice three-pointers.

As a big center with an inside line of more than 7 feet, can you still chase the three-point line? Can the ball follow me?

If this is the case, even if he doesn't score any more points, the strategic significance of his game will still be achieved, and it is no small matter.

Without Tang Qian in the Lakers' interior, the team's strength, both offensive and defensive, will drop at least a lot.

In the second half, the Lakers stepped up their offense, but the Thunder showed no mercy. Ibaka acted as a turret on the outside and made repeated hits, making it difficult for the Lakers to narrow the score difference. It was Tang Qian and the Lakers who played so hard before.

Unexpectedly, Ibaka played a huge role in this game in order to deal with Tang Qian's stable three-pointers that he had developed during the offseason.

The Lakers called a timeout, but D'Antoni still arranged for Tang Qian to guard Ibaka.

There is no problem for Tang Qian to defend. He has this ability. His movement speed and defensive agility allow him to deal with any inside players on the outside. Instead of having a disadvantage, he has a great advantage. But... in this way,

The Lakers suffered a big loss. Letting Tang Qian go out for Ibaka's three-pointer was a killing. Without him in the paint, Westbrook suddenly became full of firepower after being left empty. "

Various outbreaks of "Turtle Impact" caused the Lakers' inside line to be riddled with holes.

Westbrook + Kanter attacked continuously, and the score gap was suddenly widened. Seeing this, D'Antoni could only call a timeout again.

Unexpectedly, Ibaka of the Thunder team practiced three-pointers, and the containment effect would be so great.

This is something D'Antoni had not thought of before, and he also overestimated the ability of the rest of the Lakers to protect the inside.

To be honest, without Tang Qian, who could stop Westbrook from attacking the basket? This alone is enough for the Lakers.

Moreover, after Westbrook can easily attack the basket, it is of great help to the Thunder's overall revitalization. The rest of the outside players seem to have a good touch. After D'Antoni calmed down, he also made corresponding changes. He let

Yi Jianlian and Tang Qian switched defensive positions. Yi Jianlian went out to defend Ibaka, while Tang Qian continued to defend inside. It seemed that the problem was solved. However, the facts told D'Antoni and the Lakers that they

I still think too simply.

So far this season, the Lakers have no defensive system at all. They simply rely on personal ability to suppress opponents. There is a very unsightly saying in D'Antoni's tactical system, that is, as many points as he scores, his opponents must also score.

.This is of course an exaggerated statement by a black man, but it also illustrates the point that if you play his system, there is no defense.

His basic system is achieved by sacrificing defense and focusing on offense and neglecting defense.

In terms of tactical on-the-spot command, unless the Lakers now find a No. 1 master who is very defensive and has the ability to direct the team's defensive changes, such as the peak Kidd or the Clippers' Chris Paul, otherwise, they will be defeated in a few moves.

The defense falls apart and becomes a mess. Do you think switching defenses is just a matter of one sentence? No, single defense is just one sentence, switching defenses, assisting defenses, supplementing defenses, zone defenses, etc., etc. These are all things that are very demanding on the defensive system. There is no complete one.

With the support of the defensive system, the opponent can make your overall defense full of loopholes with just a few moves.

Yi Jianlian went out to defend, and his disadvantage came out. Without the help of a defensive system, he could not move as well as Ibaka alone. After all, the latter has the top physical fitness among black people, and this Yi Di is still worse. Even so.

The main reason was that after the opponent introduced several specialized tactical settings, Yi Jianlian was immediately confused. He had only been in the NBA for a short period of time and was still in the process of adapting. He was suddenly asked to defend like this from the outside, which was a bit overwhelming for him.

And the defense he used in the CBA simply doesn't work here.

The Thunder made several tactical screens for Ibaka, and Ibaka quickly found the opportunity and hit two three-pointers again.

The score difference suddenly expanded to 2 digits.

No wonder Yi Jianlian gave him such a difficult task all of a sudden, which was a bit of a trick.

The Lakers could only replace Covington again and use him to guard Ibaka from the outside. The speed has improved, and the defensive ability has also improved, but Ibaka enters the inside and plays more hard. Don't forget

After all, he is still an inside player. His height and weight are all the standards for an inside post.

All of a sudden, the situation became more and more chaotic, and the defense became worse and worse. The Lakers actually had a tendency to collapse in the second half.

This situation prompted the assistant coaching staff to remind him, and D'Antoni suddenly woke up from a dream.

Yes, he fell into the opponent's trap from the beginning. The team he coached should not have paid much attention to the defensive end.

Forced correction is the result of the donkey's head and the horse's mouth.

Tianchao Sports Channel.

"Oh, this won't work. Ibaka made a great contribution tonight. He successfully did a good job of being a troublemaker."

"Ahem~ Director Zhang~ Well, you can't call him a troublemaker, but a spoiler, right?" Seeing that Director Zhang was getting a little carried away, Meteor Rain was also a little embarrassed. As long as he was commentating on the Lakers' games, this old man was prone to being emotional.

, just like when he explained the Houston Rockets.

On the Internet, the following is also flooding the screen:

What happened? Why is the defense in such a mess? It makes me, a layman, dumbfounded!

What kind of defense is this? There is no structure at all.

In my opinion, D'Antoni's team shouldn't engage in any defense, offense, or attack against them.

This netizen has hit the nail on the head. Yes, you can't mess up your own rhythm and formation. His team should attack.

Compared with attacking, who am I, D'Antoni, afraid of?

Attack!
