Chapter 1302 70 wins? We want too! Big chapter~
"What are you all doing?" Larry Brown yelled loudly when he got down. He didn't know why he still had such a voice. He seemed to be a famous NBA coach. His physical fitness was different from that of ordinary people: "In recent games, I have been thrust by people at the beginning? I really think you can easily catch up with you no matter how many points you are behind? Tell you, be serious right away, otherwise you won't eat any good results!!!!!!!!" No one said, because everyone knew that they were indeed underestimating the Thunder and underestimating the execution ability they played at the beginning. But everyone was also angry because no one really felt that the Lakers could not beat the Thunder.
Go up and you will destroy them!
As soon as the Lakers came, they played a pick-and-roll kill in the middle. This is also one of the Lakers' common tactics this season, with amazing lethality. Many teams are exhausted by this move. Larry Brown specially arranged such an offensive tactic based on the characteristics of the team's players' composition. The purpose is very simple, which is to make the opponent's inside line get into foul trouble early. If you keep the starter and play as a substitute, it will undoubtedly be much easier. Larry Brown has coached so many teams and has spanned the great changes in the NBA for decades. What have you seen? I really think he can only arrange defense? Look at the team he leads, does each emphasize defense only? This is not the case.
It’s just that his defensive attainments are the most profound.
How strong is the impact of the Lakers starting this season? Simply put, three obvious manifestations: Tang Qian + Randall + Butler. These three are representatives of extremely strong physical strength in their respective positions. There is no doubt about lethality. Look at the Lakers' average free throw count this season, the league is the first, and far ahead of the second place, which is the best example. And this is not something that can be touched by "rational use of rules" and "reasonable collision". Anyone who has a fake fan will be criticized by fans who have actually watched the ball and laughed at it. Because these data of the Lakers are real and there is no fancy at all.
Just looking at their names, you should know the lethality they have. Randall and Butler are already lethal. Add Tang Qian, do you really think the opponent can get better? So the Lakers came up with a middle kill, and Randall caused Steven Adams' personal foul, making 1 of 2 free throws at the free throw line. 10-4, and still lag behind by 6 points. The Thunder still wanted to take the approach of virtual barriers and quickly passing, but this move cannot last long and be beaten by the Lakers.
After being prepared, they were a little unable to perform. They forced the pick-and-roll directly, and the Lakers' ability to switch defense quickly changed. The chances were not good. Moreover, the Thunder are still the same old problem, and the tactical continuity is not good, of course, much better than before. There was even a period of time before. However, what they faced this season was also a super strong team and a super strong team for defense. So without subsequent tactical changes, they could only become an awkward and forced fight, and they shot by themselves, and if they failed, the Lakers got a rebound.
Knowing that the Thunder are defending pick-and-roll, they are not afraid of running balls and cutting without balls, because their lineup is actually very flexible. Of course, it is not a problem with the tactical system, but simply having strong personal abilities and good physical fitness. If you really want to start ruthlessly, the overlord Spurs, who are as strong as this style of play, may fail. However, they also have problems, such as being more afraid of powerful ball-holding attackers, and more afraid of projectile inside lines that can be ejected if they are empty. Look at their pick-and-roll loss data, these two aspects occupy the largest block. The Lakers' outside line
Butler averaged 20 points per game after the pick-and-roll, but the opponent was not aware of it. There was a Soflosa who used to be Andre Robertson. This guy is about the same path as the previous Soflosa. The data is very inconspicuous, but the defense is very strong. Butler has to hit him hard, which is not that easy. It seems that the Thunder are also very clear about their shortcomings. After Butler played a few times, the effect was average. The Lakers quickly changed their moves, and Randall's physical fitness declined a bit, so he replaced Yi Jianlian, who can pull out and shoot.
The Thunder are also very busy, and they are actually not suitable for playing positions and attacking, because playing this kind of ball, they are nothing more than a few simple small-scale running games and can't play, just to solve the problem for the double-minded. Even if these two people attract the defense and pass the ball, it starts from their side. The starting method is just that, don't think about the rest.
The Lakers also targeted it very quickly and saw that the Thunder's fast push is brainless, especially Westbrook, who has a skill that passes halfway through three or four seconds and hits the basket. In terms of single-player fast push, no one in the league is more ruthless than him. Therefore, unlike the quick push against the Warriors, the Thunder's time to take the place and judge the time. If you force yourself to find someone to match, the situation of mistakes will increase, so Larry Brown made arrangements quickly. Don't think about other things, just be simple and rough. During the retreat, you should defend nearby, and whoever is the turn will go directly.
It's true that the Thunder suffered in an instant, and the brainless push was curbed.
However, this means that the Lakers' defensive configuration is extremely high. Otherwise, if you change a team, even if you want to do this, the effect may not be good. Tactical effects often need to be matched with team players to play a role. If they are not matched, or the player's ability is not enough to execute this tactic, no matter how good the tactics are, it will be useless. This is the reality, not the coach YY in the novel. As long as you simply find a few tactics, you can eat all over the world.
Do you really think these NBA professionals are fools?
It’s so easy to make money, why didn’t you see you earn?
Tang Qian dropped a ball from the Thunder and booed the ball away, which made Tang Qian excited. He pointed his right hand at all sides of the game, and then made a volleyball knockout. This is typically a provocation and provocation of all Oklahoma fans.
The curses, booing, and booing will only make Tang Qian more excited and fighting spirit. He is no longer the former Wu Xia Amon, he is the tyrant on the court. The powerful tyrant Tang. Because the Lakers' killing power is too strong, the Thunder itself does not have a good defensive system to support it, so the number of inside fouls quickly reached the upper limit. Before the first quarter was finished, the chief center Steven Adams made a third foul. How can he play? Billy Donovan also regretted it. He just hesitated for a moment, and the opponent actually killed and injured again.
For the next game, I could only quickly replace Adams, who had fouled three times, otherwise the Thunder's inside line would become weak in the second half. After all, Adams was still very strong, hard and active. With him, the Thunder would not suffer too much in the interior. How could Ibaka be considered a No. 4 physique, and it is impossible to say what is strong in the defense, but it is just that the real No. 5 defense is very disadvantageous. And there is one on the Lakers.
I can only change to Enes Kanter. This guy has 211CM at least, which is barely enough. However, this average can score an inside line that is almost close to a double-double per game. The offense is indeed very good, very sharp, and has many techniques. But on the defensive end, you should not expect him to have anything other than rebounds. Because there is nothing, nothing will be possible. Moreover, in the future, ESPN will make a data model analysis that annoys Kanter. According to the data model, Kanter's defense is really positive and negative, and the positive and negative value of the game is negative.
87. Many people will ask, what does this concept of 3.87? Well, it's not high. Among the 71 center positions in the league with statistics, it's the last place. Even if it's placed in the entire inside line, it's still at the end. And there's another data that feels very satisfactory. When he is on the court, the Thunder loses as much as 110.4 points per 100 rounds. Once he goes down, the Thunder immediately loses points by 7.1 points a hundred rounds. This is a prodigy who cannot save even the assisting defense expert Ibaka.
Ibaka and him partner, and the Thunder also lost 107.5 points in a hundred rounds. Ibaka really disliked him.
For comparison, look at the combination of Ibaka and Adams. They only lost about 100+ points in a hundred rounds, and are top in the league.
In this way you can know how black hole Kanter's defense is.
In the center, he is the last in the league. It's not that he was wronged.
If a person comes to defend himself, Tang Qian has no reason to let him go. If he doesn't play such a little bastard defense, is he still a human? He is not a human. So there is nothing to say. When he saw Kant coming up, Tang Qian immediately waved to ask for the ball. Looking at the expression, it seemed like he was saying: Give it quickly, give it quickly, there are opportunities everywhere here.
If you bet one and lose ten, you will spread more and make more money.
Kanter is so easy to beat. If you don’t fight hard, you’re considered sorry for the people and the party.
Then there was a series of explosions of thunder baskets, which made Ibaka unable to watch. He snorted: "I said, buddy, are you defending or deliberately undercover? This is too much, right? Can't you defend seriously?" I thought Kant would have some dissatisfaction and complaints, but in the end, there was no such thing. The person was full of sincerity and tears, and said: "I really defend seriously? Why don't you believe me? I really worked hard."
Seeing his expression, Ibaka didn’t know what to say. How did he say it? Didn’t he hear it if he was very serious?
The defense is too bad, and the center ranks last in the league.
Ibaka can only increase the strength of assisting defense, because this guy No. 29 is useless to help you help you to help you lightly, and you can only increase your investment, which is effective. Even several times, they have clearly formed a posture of assisting defense, but this guy still hits the ball with the ball and kills the basket. Ibaka is really speechless about his teammate, not as good as you, right? Are you helping defense? You are not worthy of using me at all. You are even suspicious of making trouble.
Have you never learned to defend or not?
My carbide!!!
Ibaka really wanted to yell at this time, "Go away, I will do it myself, don't get in the way."
The Lakers attacked the inside line and almost beaten. There was no way. At the beginning of the second half, the Thunder team resumed its simplest style of play. The two-time young players showed their power and took turns to carry. The Thunder team, once they played a strong team and a headwind, their tactical execution was very low. After so many years, they had basically not changed. This is also the Thunder team has been a strong team in the West District for many years, but it has always been difficult to reach the peak. After finally reaching the finals, they were swept out by the three Miami giants.
This problem is one of the root causes.
Because the Lakers have Tang Qian in the inside, Westbrook's breakthrough lethality has dropped significantly. Westbrook's own shooting is a draw, and there are a few more times. When he plays well, he is super magic, and when he plays poorly, he is super ghost. So for stability, he usually chooses to let Durant execute the star tactics at this time. Durant is very strong. Although he has weakened slightly after a major injury, he is slightly weaker than before, but there is a Westbrook around him to attract firepower, which is not obvious. However, since his injury, his physical fitness problems have become further highlighted, which makes the Thunder team breathe less at critical moments.
It's very simple. Look at how much his performance in the Thunder in the playoffs is, how much worse he is from the regular season. Then look at the critical moment at the end, how much worse he is from usual. You will know. Leading the team alone, without restraining other outside stars, he really doesn't have to do it all by himself. His physical fitness is that even if he doesn't have an offense and defense, he can't hold on to the end. So you say he can still compare with James? He really looks up to him.
In terms of personal abilities, Durant is not much inferior to James.
Don’t mention defense, it’s eighteen streets away, offense? Do you really think he is much better than James’ score?
How many points can he score when he wins alone? Oh, I forgot, Durant is not good at scoring high scores at all. He has said that the shooting data of more than 30+ is very bleak. Secondly, how much is his highest score? It is only 54 points. Not to mention the playoffs, he is only in his early 40 points. Therefore, Durant is strong, has a lot of moisture and many flaws. If he doesn't leave the Thunder, he will probably continue like this.
Just looking at the offense, do you know how Durant defends at critical moments? Basketball focuses on offense and defense. Moreover, Durant's critical moments in the playoffs are much lower than you think. At least for the Thunder, that's it. After he made a few shots, the Lakers immediately set the ball to make a breakthrough, allowing him to break through with the ball, and at the same time replaced Covington, a tall and flexible man with a tall and long arms, to post Durant's shot alone, and the rest made breakthroughs and breakouts and steals at any time.
Rand's defense with the ball and the effect of breaking the heavy defense is quite average. The Lakers are all "monsters" on the defensive end. With the support and care of Larry Brown's system, Durant soon fell into a dilemma. He wanted to pass the ball after breaking through, but he failed because the Lakers specially arranged interference and rotation on the weak side of the cross-pass. However, it will definitely cost you to do so, that is, the bottom lines on both sides will be appropriately weakened.
This is the time to test Tang Qian.
What the Spurs Duncan has to do is what he has to do now.
Durant was targeted, not only did the shooting rate decline, but also made several mistakes. The Lakers played steadily and continued to attack the inside, and soon let the opponent's center Steven Adams take a break after committing 5. After seeing the Thunder replace Enes Kanter, the Purple and Gold Army put a lot of balls into the inside without any brains, allowing Tang Qian to seize every opportunity to attack.
There is really no such a bad No. 5 defender, and he is truly the last man in the league's center defense.
Tang Qian made a fierce operation, and Kanter was completely beaten. After the game, Tang Qian only missed one 3 goals. With statistics, he played Kanter and never missed a single shot. He made 11 of 11 shots in the sports war, plus a large number of free throws, Tang Qian's shooting percentage reached over 90% tonight. He easily scored 50 points, 20 rebounds, 7 blocks and 1 assist.
Compared to the difficulties with Durant, Tang Qian is just about wind and rain, which is so happy.
The Lakers beat the Thunder 99-85 in the game, and Tang Qian won half of the team's score. Tang Qian himself was a little embarrassed about this. He said there was nothing he could do, mainly because the opponent was too easy to play, and I couldn't do it without a lot of play. I didn't even beat this point, I guess you Western gods would not forgive me. This made Kante, who was completely blown up tonight, want to come out for an interview, but Adams was on the court most of the time, it was not your problem, who was it? He tried to find Kante in the inside, and even if he started a start from here.
The rest of the people divided the remaining 49 points. No one on Tang Qian complained that he had taken too many moves, because this is the tactical requirement. The opponent's position at No. 5 tonight is so bad, how can you not fight? Is it necessary to challenge the difficult ones? Isn't it necessary?
On the Thunder, Durant scored 25 points and Westbrook scored 20 points, which was quite in line with the Thunder's game mode. However, Durant's continuous blacksmith mistakes in the third quarter even buryed the Thunder. At this moment, Durant was thinking, it seems that my second brother is not enough to attract defense. It would be great if the third brother Harden was there too. Otherwise, looking for a place where I can better play my scoring energy?
Alas, it’s all my fault for being second brother. If you are stronger, wouldn’t my thoughts have arisen?
It's all your fault.
The Lakers defeated the Thunder and raised their regular season wins to 69 wins.
If they can defeat the last opponent in the regular season, then they can also join the 70-win honor club this season. Two teams with 70-win games appear in a season, which is probably the only thing that the entire league has developed to this day. So many people say that the competition in the Western Conference this season is equivalent to the devil. Any team in history will definitely not be able to get anything good.
