Flexibility and lateral movement talents can be regarded as a kind of hard talents. After Tang Qian obtained the "different space", it was the first time that he felt that he was inferior to his opponents in terms of physical attributes. In the past, even Howard and others

, Tang Qian just felt that his ability to use the body and control the body was not as good as theirs, so he couldn't perform well in many places. But like Olajuwon, this was the first time he directly pressed his talent.

For the first time, Tang Qian felt that he was not as talented as the inside players.

Olajuwon's shoulders are not as wide as the domestic Butler, and his strength is not as good as the Admirals and O'Neal. Even compared with Ewing, he may not have an advantage. Then why can he kill the other three people and become the best Joe in the 1990s?

The second person besides God?

It relies on lateral movement and flexibility that break the laws of physics. If you watch Olajuwon play, his explosive power and athletic performance are not explosive (of course, compared with other insider giants, ordinary players are still crushed), but

That is, he can frequently take shots from the gaps between people and make moves in the gaps. This is a conventional method that no other giant insider has.

Everyone knows that the inside line is the place with the tightest defense and the smallest space. Most people require simple shots, avoid making too many moves, and avoid complications...except for Hakeem Olajuwon. Tomjanovich said back then,

He does not allow any big man inside to dribble the ball more than three times in the penalty area, except for Olajuwon. This is also suspected of being flattering, but it is not groundless.

No. 34 of the Rockets is actually a representative of technical insiders. He is different from Deng Dai. The latter takes a clumsy approach and emphasizes "heavy sword but no edge." What about Olajuwon? He is the complete opposite.

Make it as cool as you want, as gorgeous as you want, and as handsome as you want! There is absolutely no saying which one is best or which one is bad, it all depends on how you use it.

Whether it's gorgeous or monotonous, as long as it can score goals and win, it's a good move.

It's just that such a center has long since disappeared in the league. In fact, throughout the 60 to 70 years of the NBA, only one "big dream" Olajuwon has achieved this level. So let alone Tang Qian, any No. 5 position is suitable for him.

When you get on it, you will feel "awkward" and extremely uncomfortable.

In the fourth game, Tang Qian was prepared to fail in this challenge. His purpose began to change to "exploring and paving the way" for the success of the next challenge. So rounds of experiments began. The first was the "tortoise defensive tactic", but this time

It doesn't work, because this Rockets team is full of "sharp shooters" on the outside. From Kenny Smith to Cassell to Robert Horry, they are all the kind of people with "big heart" qualities.

It feels like there is no need for open players. Perhaps in ordinary open positions, they are not as good as some pure shooters, but the more intense the battle situation, the more stable and outstanding their performance is.

After being shot in the opponent's half, Tang Qian's team changed to a three-point attack. This was a good method, but the effect was limited. Although Ray Allen and Curry were accurate, they were in this hand-g rule of the game.

As long as you make a few more shots, it will attract a large number of "violent actions" to defend. In later generations, these actions will all be foul actions.

Furthermore, Tang Qian's team is not the Warriors. The team's tacit understanding and tactical response are very poor, which prevents Curry and Ray Allen from maximizing their off-ball shooting. The last and most important point is that their team

The inside attack is weak and cannot penetrate the inside guarded by Olajuwon, so the opponent can move the defense outside as much as possible. This is equivalent to a "fatal blow" for outside players.

After all, not everyone is Jordan and Kobe. Without such a strong ability to combine sudden shots, you have to "hand-to-hand" fight with the defender for the ball. This situation makes it extremely difficult for both Curry and Ray Allen to play. Three

It's not that there's nothing to score, but it's a drop in the bucket. It can only hurt its skin but not its muscles and bones.

However, there are still some people who performed better. He is the sixth man off the bench, Tracy McGrady. McGrady in the 2002-03 season is the "Peak McGrady" that fans talk about. He compares with Ray Allen and Ray Allen.

Curry is a completely different type of outside attacker, commonly known as a swingman. This type of player does not need any opportunities or gaps, you just need to "give me the ball".

If there is no opportunity, I can create my own opportunity. If there is no space, I can create my own space. This is the characteristic of a player like McGrady. Perhaps his efficiency is not as high as that of players like Curry, and his open positions are not as accurate. But in high-intensity defense,

Next, he can score goals! The late godfather of basketball Auerbach once said that basketball is a scoring sport, and the highest level statistic is scoring!

Yes, it seems that those stars with high efficiency usually have impressive statistics, but at the critical moment, they can't do it by themselves! They can't create opportunities by themselves! In this way, it is better to use the so-called "ordinary efficiency" or "low efficiency" players. Nothing special.

The reason is because they can score when the team needs to score, and that is enough.

Otherwise, just looking at efficiency, O'Neal's efficiency in the 1995 Finals will not be worse than Olajuwon's, and his shooting percentage is even close to 60%. What about Olajuwon? But his shooting percentage is 48%! Do you want to say that O'Neal is not?

Weaker than Olajuwon, and even much more efficient, but the number of shots taken is too few? If he were also given 29 shots per game, he would definitely surpass the latter by an unknown amount.

Yes, O'Neal only averaged 18+ shots per game in the finals that year, which was nearly 9 fewer than Olajuwon's 29+. If you count the 60% shooting rate, he would have scored at least 5.4 more goals and 10.8 more points.

Coupled with the comprehensive suppression of rebounds and assists, he is simply more efficient than Olajuwon. What is the fact? The fact is why O'Neal doesn't shoot more? Is the Magic's coaching staff a fool, who can't do such a simple arithmetic problem? Still

How about I be the head coach!

If you really think like this, it is simply stupid. If you are efficient, then take more shots and score more goals. Why not? Isn’t it because the more shots you take, the efficiency will be reduced, and it won’t work? Especially in key attacks,

Wouldn't everything be fine if O'Neal, who shot nearly 60% from the field? Are you talking about destroying the team's teamwork? Please, use the words of Phil Jackson's autobiography, the essence of competitive sports is victory. You will all lose, and your teammates will not be able to enter.

, now that we urgently need to score points, what else do you care about about teamwork?

Only when you win can you be qualified to talk about teamwork. Otherwise, if you lose, you just lose. How can you talk about efficiency?

Are you irresponsible if you don't help the team score points with such high efficiency? Or is it intentional?

How do you choose between losing with high efficiency and winning with normal efficiency? How does the coach choose? It’s clear at a glance.

The person who can attack tough situations is not necessarily the most efficient one, but he is the most important one when the team needs to score. In the mid-to-late 1990s when Hand-g was most popular, Qiao Shen’s playoff score was only about 45%.

His shooting percentage? You can say that is because Qiao Shen is older, but he is still the best in the league after winning three consecutive championships. Who would say that his shooting percentage is too low?

Because every NBA coach knows that shooting percentage is a fictitious thing. Can the 50% to 60% shooting rate when playing "easy ball" be compared with the more than 40% when playing in tough positions? Can you stabilize yourself at any time?

This is called awesome shooting percentage. For those so-called high-energy and efficient players, if you really ask them to take more shots, can they maintain high shooting?

In the 2007-08 season, James shot 3.5% against the Celtics. In the three Eastern Conference semifinals after 2010, he only shot 34% + 19 turnovers in 3 games. Well, maybe the Greens' defense is too strong.

The Finals against the Warriors is also an example. Putting aside the sports battles and "easy ball" goals, if James really wants to play tough shots, he won't play that well. In the future, in the Cavaliers, even most of the tough shots will be scored by Kevin.

Irving will perform it.

This is not to say that James is not strong. In fact, James is terrifyingly strong. It’s just that each player has different characteristics. There is no need to use the so-called data and efficiency to laugh at other players. Doing so will only be slapped in the face by reality. Curry is the same.

In this way, he is an efficient type of player, but strong strength means strong strength, and it is also the same thing to benefit from the changes in the rules. If you really want him to push hard and attack hard one ball after another, I am afraid that the hit rate will be lowered.

Some "highly efficient people" were shocked.

At this time, the importance of players who are good at attacking tough situations and can create their own opportunities to score suddenly becomes highlighted.

In the fourth game, McGrady faced the opponent's substitute perimeter and scored 30 points in one breath. This performance only played 27 minutes, which shows the tyranny of "Peak McGrady". Against the Rockets' main lineup, he may not be able to score points as efficiently.

It is obvious that he is better than Curry and Ray Allen.

He doesn't need too many pick-and-rolls or screens. He can score continuously by himself.

But they still lost in the end and were swept out by their opponents 0-4.

"The challenge failed, there are two remaining challenges on this level."

Tang Qian looked at the disappearing court and the reappeared "calendar board" and said with a heavy heart: "It turns out that this is the real super insider. It turns out that this is the real defending champion. The tacit understanding, chemical reaction, and tactical changes are all better than

There are too many mistakes on my side. It seems that winning... is very difficult."
