New tactic? Ultimate move? What is it? The answer is...

Infinite misplaced singles.

Yes, this move is also a big factor in the rapid rise of the original space-time Rockets. D'Antoni uses 2 to 3 shooters to open up space for Paul or Harden, and then breaks the game alone. They were the original time and space in those seasons.

Which team has the most mismatched singles? To what extent exactly? So much so that the second place player can’t even see their taillights.

This is a brand-new singles mode, at least it has never been so comprehensive and routine.

At the beginning of the second half, the Rockets began to compete with the Lakers continuously, alternating with each other. Regarding this, even Tang Qian felt a little surprised, because it was obviously full of so many singles proportions, but they could still compete with the Lakers.

Can't stand a stalemate? This seems a bit unscientific. After all, it is a tactical model that has never been popularized before. It is normal that the Lakers did not react for a while. They all feel that singles can only be played in hand-to-hand combat and fierce playoff battles.

will highlight the importance. And many times, even hand-to-hand battles and playoffs can only last for a short period of time. For example, the triangle offense will only rely on singles for a period of time in the last quarter. Therefore, the Lakers have a bit of inertial thinking.

They think that by doing this they are "suicide" and they won't be able to hold on for long.

Both Tang Qian and Larry Brown thought so, but... until the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides was still only 2 points apart. At this time, no matter how you looked at it, you felt that something was wrong. Larry.

Brown looked at the former Lakers coach on the Rockets side, pondered for a moment, then began to face it seriously and analyze it carefully.

Judging from what they mean, they should insist on fighting like this in the future. If so, they are either confused or... full of confidence. I don't like the latter, but it is very possible. I feel that we all have a little

The Rockets' singles players are underestimated. Both Paul and Harden are good singles players, especially Harden, who has made rapid progress this season and is really a bit of a super scorer. And a super scorer is difficult to stop by one person.

Even if you have to try to defend alone, you need at least one defense to create some trouble, but it will only be some "trouble".

If you want to really have a significant effect, you should at least have a strong person who has primary defense or dpoy all year round.

Otherwise, let’s skip the discussion and hope that the opponent feels bad tonight.

Perennial primary defense represents rich experience, and dpoy represents hard ability, but there are too few such people. So once singles can solve the problem, it is very difficult to defend. Harden is also really fierce enough, with a lot of

With his combination of hitting the porcelain + rhythm breakthrough + three-pointers, Butler couldn't stop him. It's really not that Butler's defense is not good, but he has practiced "eighteen years of falling". You can't touch him easily, he breaks through

, you have to learn to... hide.

If you don’t hide, well, please go to the free throw line and enjoy my wonderful performance.

This is what is called creating psychological deterrence for you before attacking.

For example, Jordan and Kobe are like this. Before they even move, their momentum has already dwarfed their opponents by half.

The same goes for Harden, but more because everyone is too concerned about his "rules basketball" and are afraid that he will foul easily and leave the game. Butler is still too honest, so he was fouled several times very quickly.

I was so angry that I wanted to curse, but judging from the slow-motion replay of the scene, most of them were really fouls.

Within the rules, there are certain balls that Harden will find your hand to pass.

And now you think that this is the ultimate power of the "King of Porcelain"? The future Harden will give you a big slap and tell you in a loud voice. You are thinking too much. Where is this?

Oh, my future brother is the "god of porcelain".

But looking at it right now, it's true that no matter how hard you defend, you can't stop Harden, and you have to pay the price anyway.

As soon as you are timid and slow on defense, it's embarrassing and he will pass, or he will just make a three-pointer.

With Paul on the side to help him attract firepower, Harden is on the verge of becoming a super scorer this season.

Tang Qian also doesn't like this bearded man, and thinks he is too "dirty" in playing and "teaches bad things to children." However, there is one thing you need to admit, that is, Harden's scoring ability is under the existing rules.

Very strong.

Very scary.

This matter is not conflicting, and you cannot deny his ability just because you don't like him.

As for the failure in the playoffs, that is the standard and matter of the playoffs. Now it is the regular season, let’s just talk about the firepower of the regular season.

Harden's growth is still very obvious, and he is especially good at upgrading his playing style according to the league rules. This is also a disguised "progress". As for popularity? He also knows that he is not high, but it doesn't matter, he can be stable.

Just stay in the league and make a lot of money. Harden is also true about this.

After all, a nightclub is not a place where consumption is very low, right?

And what's very shameless is that when the Lakers' defense is strong, they use pick-and-roll substitutions. If it doesn't work once, they make a second substitution. The Rockets are also trained well by D'Antoni, so the pick-and-roll is very solid and I don't complain.

In this way, you will often see Harden trying to beat Rondo. Although Rondo is very good at defense, he is far behind Harden in terms of tonnage. Harden is a stable and heavy defender, and his upper body strength is excessive.

People, whenever Rondo exerts his strength, he will be unable to resist it.

Are they all good at defense? Then you have to choose someone who is relatively easy to play.

For example, Harden hitting Rondo hard is a typical example.

What about Paul? He specializes in making misplaced pick-and-roll balls that are small and large. This is also something Paul is very good at.

So, the Rockets really played well.

Has been suppressing the Lakers' defense.

Larry Brown wanted the Lakers to double-team or even shrink, but he fell into the Rockets and D'Antoni's plan. What should I say? As soon as D'Antoni saw the Lakers doing this, he immediately smiled slightly off the court.

Said: "Very good, that's it. I know that your Lakers team has a strong defensive system and a good defensive understanding, so... it just serves as a touchstone for our new system."

"Don't think you are the only one who is stronger. This season's Rockets are definitely not just a sidekick or a foil."

"What we want is to bring down the emperor."

What does D'Antoni mean? Is he too crazy? No, this is indeed the result of his careful optimization of the Rockets lineup. Moreover, the Rockets' pre-game training camp started very early this year in order to perfect this new system.

.

Run and gun? Small ball? Come on, the entire league has entered a fast era, so this is not an innovation.

One of the results of D'Antoni's optimization is... the team implemented the "dual commanders" strategy for the first time.

What is "dual commanders"? It means that the Rockets team is allowed to have two system controllers. How is this possible? How to do it? Paul is okay. He is originally a point guard master. Who is the other person?

?

Everyone knows that if the German coach's system is to be promoted, it needs strong players at the No. 1 position.

He is... James Harden.

Harden? He, isn't he a point guard? How is that possible? Point guard can also play the role of system controller? The answer is... yes. To be honest, if this matter does not come from the future, it is impossible to know. And for those who have already

It is Tang Qian who lives in 2016. He has become a "present person" in this time and space and is no longer a "future person". Therefore, it is not surprising at all that he does not know this matter.

This change was so successful that no one expected it. Who dared to say that he was not shocked at that time?

James Harden, who was a serious point guard before, suddenly turned into a strong point guard or combo guard, and he was extremely successful. This really has to admire the magic of the German coach. This is also the story of Harden's life.

A huge leap. From then on, he has completely embarked on the road of "taking over everything". What data did he get in the original time and space? Data exceeding 29+8+11+1, how terrible is it?

Maybe Harden himself also has this potential, but he hit it off right away, so as soon as he saw the Lakers adopt a defensive strategy of assisting defense and double-teaming, the Rockets immediately took the ball on the 13th, and took a three-point shot from the outside. This...

If it's a coincidence once, then it's not a coincidence at all if it happens several times in a row.

Even when Harden was in good shape several times, even if the Lakers adopted a small amount of semi-double-teaming and semi-encirclement, they still paid a heavy price. This was not 10 years ago. At that time, he was good at three-pointers.

There are not many people, so the space operation is relatively much smaller. What now? There is no problem for a team to accumulate a bunch of three-point shooters, and that is the case with the Rockets. Even the German coach directly let the Rockets' three-pointers take the shot and seize the way.

hurricane.

The Warriors? How many three-pointers did the Warriors average per game before this? That is, they averaged 31+ per game. In the 14-15 season, they only averaged 27+ per game. This season, they only averaged 31+ per game so far.

What now? What about the Rockets? They have already conceded more than 30 three-pointers, and there is still such a long time in the game. In the original time and space, they will concede an average of 40+ three-pointers per game this season!

The tone surpassed last season by a dozen or so, and even left the Warriors far behind.

The "Ultimate Magic Ball" was promoted and developed.

Significantly reduce the number of long 2-pointers, or even stop shooting 2-pointers. Those who can shoot 2-pointers should switch to 3-pointers.

This is a typical "Money Ball Theory". Note that this is not the famous book "Money Ball Theory" by Michael Lewis. The so-called "Money Ball Theory" here is the result of countless big data analyzes by Rockets General Manager Morey.

. He believes that instead of shooting 2-pointers, it is better to shoot all 3-pointers, which can maximize the efficiency ratio between scoring shots.

This season, D'Antoni took a fancy to this theory and promoted it vigorously. Unexpectedly, it caused a lot of trouble for the Lakers in the first game. Regardless of whether it was because the Lakers had never dealt with such an attack method, so they were a little panicked.

, anyway, it is quite impressive to score such a high score on the head of a team that swept all the way to the playoffs last year and won the championship.

Just these three points...are you losing too much? Are you crazy? Don’t you want to win?

As a result, when I looked at the score board, I realized that the Rockets unexpectedly overtook the score difference.

The Houstonians actually fought the Lakers to an inseparable situation in the first game, which was really unexpected. Everyone originally thought that only the Universe Yong could defeat this invincible Purple and Gold Army in the playoffs.

.Who would have known that the Rockets caused big trouble for the Lakers in the first game? Because they have never dealt with this style of play and mode, and Harden has undergone a huge transformation in the team's positioning. Various factors combined.

, making the Lakers' defense a bit confusing tonight.

But...you want to win? I won't agree!!!

I also knew that the team's defense could not adjust at this moment, so I simply started to compete with the opponent for superstar balls, using one of the most traditional NBA methods to decide the outcome. We were caught off guard by you tonight, and we were caught by surprise, but...

...You think you can defeat us like this? Are you going to open the door to us?

Beautiful thought!!!

Because for us, your inside line and the basket are both in a mess.

Then it depends on who can last until the end. As for the Lakers' adjustments in subsequent games, we will wait until they win this game.
