Chapter 1193 Has Rondo become a real defender?(1/2)
The Warriors played so exquisitely that many people were amazed, but the Lakers also made adjustments. After the timeout, they strictly implemented Larry Brown's tactical strategy. After missing a shot on the offensive end, they immediately retreated on defense.
, ignoring offensive rebounds at all, which reduced the Warriors' chances of trying to quickly find mismatch transitions. Then on the defensive end, Rondo stared at Curry, and Butler stared at Klay Thompson. After the pick-and-roll, a large number of defensive changes and supplements were used.
Defensive strategies to deal with.
It is best to force them into the inside to take shots, which in turn can interrupt the previous outside touch.
Moreover, the Lakers' defensive system is very good, and because of Tang Qian's existence, they can try to force their opponents inside, block one side, and let their opponents take shots as close to Lakers No. 29. Isn't this very similar?
A defensive model of the Spurs? Well, don’t mention it, it is indeed the case, except that the Spurs’ final defensive barrier is Tim Duncan. But this defensive model was not created by Popovich. It was originally
It was Larry Brown's masterpiece, but Larry Brown didn't stay with the Spurs for a long time, so he didn't gain much fame. Popovich just carried it forward and turned it into a defensive magic weapon for the entire Spurs team for 20 years.
one.
The Lakers' defense is working during this period. Faster positioning, faster rotations, and clearer pick-and-roll defense have all curbed the Warriors' scoring status to a certain extent. The Lakers are slowly shrinking.
The score is poor.
When Cole saw this, he made a change. Don't you want to rush to the outside first after being picked and rolled? Very good, then I will let you jump and make your own cocoon. How to do it? After Green screened and rolled to the outside, he passed the ball from the outside.
Out, Green made a three-point shot.
This set actually makes it impossible for many people to defend, especially when Curry and Thompson are feeling good, they really have to take action when there is a small opening. So after weighing the balance, they can only bet on Green.
Bet that Green will miss the shot. How can I say this? It is easy to say in other seasons, but this season, it is completely looking for shots. Why? In the Warriors' 73-win season, do you know what Green's three-point shooting percentage is? He
His career is only in the early 30s, which is actually okay. After all, he doesn't have many opportunities to attack tough shots, but he definitely can't be said to be very accurate. In the 73-win season, Green's sudden evolution also made the Warriors become unstoppable.
The key factor. If nothing else, Green's three-point shooting percentage this season is close to 38.8% and close to 39%. Just ask if you are afraid. This is already a top three-point shooting percentage close to 40%. Compared with his usual,
I don’t know how high it is. So if you want to let go of Green this season, you have to look for shots.
Green, whose three-point shooting percentage has reached the peak of his career, really dares to shoot you to death.
In particular, they played Green's ball-holding tactic in the top arc. As long as Green's three-pointer is on the line, it is extremely difficult to break down.
So... Green shot a three-pointer, brushed it, and scored again, breaking the Lakers' momentum of narrowing the score difference in one breath.
This is equivalent to breaking a part of Larry Brown's arrangement. Larry Brown looked a little gloomy when he saw this, but he did not choose to call a timeout because with the current lineup, it is impossible to cover everything. Because there is one point
Defensive rotation is a problem. A problem that is not visible at ordinary times will be highlighted when facing a super strong team. However, this point is one of the star players in the team, and the scoring firepower is an important point, so...
…
We can only bet that Green misses the shot. After all, compared to Curry, Green is much less of a threat.
The game has entered a stage that is not very good for the Lakers. It is not a good thing if it continues like this, so someone must step up and score. Withstand this wave. Tang Qian has been slow for a long time and wants the ball again. Now the Lakers are very
Success rate is needed. The Lakers' No. 29 is the greatest success rate guarantee for the entire Lakers team. When stable scoring is urgently needed, this season, Tang Qian has gradually become the Lakers' number one scoring point.
Green still wanted to repeat his old trick, pretending to defend and let Tang Qian pass the ball, but Tang Qian ignored the ball and hit it hard against Bogut. Bogut was really speechless. He is also one of the best insiders in the league.
He is an excellent defender. Even if he has no defensive ability this season, he is definitely not bad. After all, there are only two defensive positions in the center, and the competition is obviously greater than the other positions. But he really takes this
No. 29 had nothing to do. He had nothing to do in this game from beginning to end. What was even most annoying was... sometimes he knew exactly how the opponent was going to fight, but he still couldn't do anything.
Just like this ball, he had already judged it, but what? The opponent made a "tank breakthrough" and pushed him away.
It's just as hateful as the Cavaliers' No. 23.
No, it is more irritating and frustrating.
The Warriors used a large number of pick-and-rolls or illegal screens to make the Lakers' defense very unstable. It seemed that they would hit the "wall" wherever they were not careful. This feeling is extremely uncomfortable, but it is the Golden State Warriors' best performance this season.
One of the magic weapons for housekeeping.
Larry Brown was slightly shocked by the power of this tactic. He admitted that he still underestimated this "second-year rookie coach" and the evolution of tactics in the new era. Some things exceeded his expectations. The Lakers originally
For the first time in the season, the defensive system had a tendency to be broken. Larry Brown started to get serious, not just for this game, but also for several subsequent games with the Warriors and even the playoffs. This ball
The team is much stronger than he imagined, and it can be regarded as one of the strongest teams he has ever seen. The Lakers' team tacit understanding has not yet reached the level of the Pistons in 2004, and the more they deal with this kind of incompetence,
A team with a strong football team needs more tacit understanding and chemical reaction between the teams, or... make a surprise move?
But now, what to do?
Larry Brown became unusually quiet and stared at the scene motionlessly, not knowing what was going on in his mind.
The Warriors missed the ball and the rebound was protected by the Lakers. The Lakers gave it to Tang Qian and continued to play inside.
Tang Qian faced the basket and attacked, Green helped defend, but he was still hit by him, and he also hit a powerful dunk.
Green fouled, went to the free throw line, made extra free throws, missed, and the Warriors attacked.
The Warriors used another moving pick-and-roll, which made Rondo so angry that he almost exploded. He was knocked sideways and could only watch Curry take a step forward, shoot, and swipe~. Fortunately, it was just a long 2-pointer, otherwise it would have been more.
Depressed to death.
During this period, the Warriors used their unique skills. It has become very difficult to completely prevent them, at least it is impossible now. Tang Qian knows what to do. Now he needs to attack, stabilize the situation, and wait for the Warriors' shooter.
The team feels better. Other than that, there is no other way. The Warriors take advantage of the more mature and tacit understanding of the team. The more they play without the ball and the more they play on screens, the more the entire team needs to defend and contain them.
.The test is not just one person.
But the Lakers' team chemistry and team maturity are obviously not as good as the Warriors. This is usually not obvious, but now it seems that it has suddenly become a fatal gap. Other teams cannot grasp it, but the Warriors can.
Someone needs to hold on, otherwise the game will be over quickly.
Tang Qian started to play low singles continuously, and Bogut even tried to go around, but No. 29 is not Yao Ming. His athletic ability is the strongest among the big guys in the entire NBA history. If you want to use around to guard, then really
It's just to give points. Tang Qian directly asked Rondo to pass the ball deep, and he dunked the ball. Green gave up taking off the ball because it was impossible to defend it.
The Warriors set a double screen on the wing, and Curry stepped out, preparing for a three-pointer. This attracted two players from the Lakers to immediately rush over to kill. But don’t forget, Stephen Curry, in addition to being a super scorer, he is also a 1
Player at the No. 1 position. As the No. 1 position, have you forgotten about passing and distributing the ball? He is not that kind of pseudo-point guard. Curry's personal passing, organizing and assisting ability is not to say the best in the league, but it is enough to be called it.
Excellent. So he saw the opportunity and passed the ball back inside. Green cut from the wing and flew towards the Lakers' basket with the ball.
He has to pull up this ball and dunk it. The sprint space and take-off time are sufficient, enough for a big dunk.
Green's desire to perform has never been weak, so he will not miss this opportunity.
But he was only halfway through the flight when he was blocked by a huge figure. It was Tang Qian. After physical contact, he formed a palm with his five fingers and slapped Green's ball away. When the Lakers attacked, Tang Qian hit his back, then quickly turned inside.
Passed by Bogut, then held the ball with one hand and violently attacked the basket. Bang~
The Warriors' cut in the offensive round caused a foul on the Lakers, and they made 2 of 2 free throws.
Tang Qian broke through in the low post and attacked hard at the basket, causing Bogut to foul. He also made 2 of 2 free throws from the free throw line.
After playing this back and forth for several times, Cole felt a little surprised, because the Warriors were indeed maintaining offensive efficiency, and there was no big problem in doing so. But, why did the score difference not widen?
?Isn’t this strange?
Logically speaking, it should have entered "garbage time" long ago.
Kerr saw No. 29 of the Lakers standing on the free throw line again, and he suddenly realized that it was No. 29 who was causing trouble.
Interesting, let’s see how long you can hold on.
The Warriors still used the same set of cutting and running + a lot of mobile screens. The Lakers missed a 3-pointer. The opportunity came out, but unfortunately, it was not made at all. This is also one of the problems of the Lakers, they lack three-pointers.
Regarding the stability of the ball, the most accurate player in the main lineup is Chris Bosh at the 4th position. Secondly, the main rhythm is also lost. Without a slow rhythm, the Lakers' three-point problem will become more and more obvious. The original defense
OK, this is not a problem, but now the defense is a bit ineffective.
Rondo knew very well that he had to bite at this time, so he gave a lot of balls to No. 29 inside, letting Tang Qian solve the problem by himself. There was no way, mainly because the Warriors not only had an unparalleled offense, but also led the league.
Their defense is also one of the strongest in the league. Therefore, Rondo is unable to directly assist on many goals. It is indeed difficult for a team that integrates offense and defense.
Generally speaking, everyone who knows football can now see that the Lakers were suppressed by their opponents and were at a disadvantage.
Because the outside line was inaccurate, the defense against Tang Qian became more and more strict, and the help defense became more and more intense. Under such circumstances, even if Tang Qian was fierce, it was impossible to keep all the balls in. After finally
After a foul was committed, the Lakers called a timeout. As soon as they came up, Larry Brown said: "Substitution will be made later. Enter Nick. Jimmy, please come down and rest first."
Nick Young replaces Butler? Why???
Can anyone tell us the reason? Nick Young himself finds it a bit incredible.
Larry Brown looked at Nick Young who was still a little confused and opened his mouth: "If you don't play well, you won't end up in the game. Do you understand?"
"Uh, I know, I understand." Nick Yang nodded when he heard this, but he still didn't know why.
Larry Brown took out the tactical board and said: "Don't look at me, look at the tactical board. The Warriors played very well during this period, and their screen really made me feel uncomfortable, but there was nothing the referee could do if he didn't blow the whistle.
Appealing is also something that happens after the fact. Now we have to do this..." Larry Brown said while drawing the tactics: "Do you understand?"
This, this is? To attack? To attack???
No, isn't it? Isn't this old stubborn the one who advocates defense and winning the most? Did he take the wrong medicine?
Larry Brown seemed to have guessed what everyone was thinking: "The defense can't win now, and it can't be won without attacking. Let's talk about it after this period."
Let’s talk after this period again? But, can we survive this period? They are all professional players, and they know very well how terrible the team in front of them is. It is estimated that there are really not many teams that can stop them in the regular season this season. The Lakers.
Team, okay?
"The main offense is inside, and the others are waiting for the ball. Whoever is there to help defend will shoot a three-pointer."
So Nick Young was replaced to increase the power of three-pointers? Nick Young's three-pointers this season have reached over 40%, and he is indeed the one with the highest three-point shooting percentage in the current Lakers team. If you want to
There is nothing wrong with strengthening the three-pointer.
