basketball purple front

Chapter 1560 The light bulb is very bright
It is also the most anticipated moment for the superstar to kill. To be honest, although most of the points in a game are the kind of balls that have no sense of existence, those balls are the key to the score.Compared with superstar time, it is the final word.

How to defend Harden? ? ?In fact, the Lakers really can't find any good solution now, and even the entire league, there is no good solution.If it was so easy to guard against him, then he wouldn't be able to get this kind of stats, and he wouldn't be able to be the top spot after Kobe.

Butler's defense is very good. He has been on the second defense for many years, but his defensive style has been restrained by Harden. This is not nonsense.

If you look at the duel records of the two, Harden completely suppressed Butler. The two played in the same position, and the data reference is very representative.The original time and space are even more fierce. As of 2019, Harden has averaged almost 19+25+4+7 in 2 games against Butler. What about Butler?The average is only 16+5+3+1 per game.The playoffs are even more terrifying. Harden is equivalent to blowing Butler up.

The average data is 29+4+7+2 per game, but Butler only has 16+6+4+1 data, so there is no need to say more after this set of data appears. Although Butler's defense is good, but... can't hold it down. ascended.Whether it is the original time and space or this time and space, it is the same.His defensive style was severely restrained by Harden.In order not to be "touched", Butler is a bit "frightened" now.This defensive mentality allowed Harden to fuel his offensive arrogance.

Looking at these key shots, Harden doesn't even want misplaced pick-and-rolls. What does this mean?This means that James Harden feels that playing Butler is his best choice for this game.Butler's generation of defensive champions, being targeted by the "Porcelain King" like this, is also a disaster.

But the defensive style was restrained by the opponent, and there was no way. Butler played very hard at this point, and even... was close to being blown.

This is something the Lakers didn't expect before. Butler has always defended very steadily and toughly. How could he know that the Rockets' defense in this game is so... restrained.Didn't perform well at all.

This is the energy of the "Porcelain King", which makes the opponent fearful and dare not be too oppressive. This makes his offensive opportunities and offensive space naturally bigger and stronger.The Lakers saw that Butler's point was broken, so they could only make adjustments, but there was one problem.Is Harden afraid of you going to help defend and double-team?Don't be afraid!After D'Antoni successfully activated his pass master skill, he is now not afraid of double-teaming at all.

Didn't you see the 11+ assists per game this year?In the original time and space, Harden won the assist king!
The passing hand is completely different from before.

So as soon as the defense is encircled, Harden can quickly find the Lakers' defensive loopholes and deliver the shells accurately.No wonder D'Antoni is so self-confident, the Warriors dare to go straight on offense alone!Just attack, their set is too strong.You basically can't achieve targeted restraint and comprehensive anti-killing.Of course, Larry Brown made some adjustments. It's impossible to look at it like this, and it's not in line with Larry Brown's style.He used Beverly to defend Paul, because Paul was too stable and Rondo's defense was good, but not aggressive enough, so he went directly to Beverly to "mad dog bite".At the same time, Randall was replaced, and Josh Smith, who had better defensive footwork and athletic ability, went up.

By the way, let Josh Smith participate in the work of quickly retreating after the opponent tears up the defense and chasing caps to supplement the defense.

This is what he is best at.It's a pity, compared to last year's superb three-pointers, his three-pointers are extremely brave. The average three-pointer shooting rate in the playoffs has reached 50%, and it has dropped to around 13% so far in the playoffs this season. !

Damn, it's such an exaggeration, which is not unusual in his career.

Looking at his playoff resume, it's like this, one year is good and one year is bad, you can't predict it at all.

After the completion of super god last year, this year directly entered the super blacksmith mode.

That three-pointer made Larry Brown dare not let him shoot it.It's basically an "undercover agent" sent by the other party.

But in terms of defense, Josh Smith still has no problem. It is just right to use him.

In addition, a rotation delay was made, mainly to pinch the offensive line of the "cake king" Capela on the opposite side.

The layout seems to be very good, but it can be said that the Rockets are not afraid of flanking now. Harden and Paul's ability to shoot the ball is too strong. If you go over and show a little gap, they can shoot the ball accurately.Go straight to the openings and open spots of your defense to strike.

This point is really cruel.

In addition, their three-pointers are too fierce. This season, the only team with an average of more than 45 three-pointers per game is even more fierce than the 40+ shots in the original time and space.Look, do you dare to give them too many chances?The ball was not in time at all. When Harden passed the ball and found an opening, you saw the Rockets player raised his hand and shot, swiped~, and hit a three-pointer!
Damn magic ball! ! !
Each of these role players looked like they had been shot. They were not afraid to make a shot at all, and even got the ball so decisively that they didn't think about anything else.This is also D'Antoni's system. You have to shoot when you have a chance. If you dare not to shoot, then it's very good, just get off the bench and sit on the bench.I have the kind of guy who dares to shoot up.

Why was the Lakers not like this back then?
It's the same with Paul. Harden needs to slow down after playing for a while, and it's Paul.This is also a big trend in modern basketball, that is, because there are many stars in a strong team, they can take turns to demonstrate their personal abilities.Greatly reduce the physical energy consumption of the main attacker, you can keep the best state, and continue to fight against the enemy.Because as I said, physical fitness is a hard issue.There is no physical fitness, and physical fitness has declined. Basically, no one can escape the trend of a major decline in state.

Even Jordan is the same. It is still rare for the spirit to surpass the body.

Cannot be relied upon as a routine.

If Harden keeps playing like this, as he is now, he doesn't have that kind of ability, and he will be completely targeted soon, and his physical fitness will decline rapidly.It's different now. With Paul opening up space for him, he needs to take a breather, and Paul is supporting him. This feeling makes Harden feel perfect at the moment.

He went to rest with his hips on the side, and while he was distracted, he thought about which nightclub in Los Angeles is more fun tonight.

How to suppress Paul?Thinking about this question now, it is too difficult.In fact, when Paul has not aged significantly due to injuries and age, he is basically difficult to hold.The upper limit of leading the team is not enough, because he needs a strong attacker beside him. After all, his own personal attack is still limited.Sustained firepower is not enough.But it doesn't mean that he can't lead the team to the Western Conference Finals. It's how badly he played and how suppressed he was.

This issue is not the same thing and should not be confused.

Paul is very good at playing small and big, and he is good at stopping and shooting when he is open after the pick-and-roll. This is too familiar, and the Rockets' system supports him to play like this.So even if they got on Josh Smith, they were still beaten one by one by Paul, who seized the opportunity to hit him.Josh Smith has a big problem, that is, his defense is too impulsive, and his talent is naturally off the charts. Otherwise, how can an outside player average such a scary block per game?But he also has problems with defensive habits.

It's just that he was too impulsive and liked to dance too much, so after a pick-and-roll, he was molested by Paul continuously.

When Paul came to the Rockets, he was also fascinated by Harden, so after a pick-and-roll, he made a right cut and faked a shot, and then saw Josh Smith flying high, trying to block the shot.All of this was exactly as Paul wanted. Paul received the ball slightly, then saw the time difference, and leaned on it.Then the referee blew his whistle, and Paul comfortably went to the free throw line for 2 free throws.

So it was obviously a targeted tactic, but it was broken by Paul in a few hits. Josh Smith didn't even take long for consecutive fouls, so he had to be replaced by Larry Brown.Well, then just don't change defense at all!
I don't believe you Paul can... Well, he is really decisive. It seems that after D'Antoni's system, even individual three-pointers will become very decisive.Paul's ball is, once Beverly is blocked, it is a three-pointer.

Shoot directly, brush ~, hit.

Paul's three-point shooting percentage this season is a career high, 41.1%, and the number of shots is also the highest in his career so far. It seems that he is indeed affected by the current league and D'Antoni's magic ball system.In the past, it was rare for Paul to fight like this.Now, this season, it has become a routine.

So what to do?Just choose to let Beverly squeeze the pick-and-roll hard!

How does this look?

But it turns out that the effect is still not good, because if you do this, the pick-and-roller will get a chance. There is no doubt about how good Paul is passing the ball. Even if he is delayed by a screen, Paul can see the whole court.At this time, he often has several options. The first is to pass the ball to let people directly attack down, or disrupt the opponent's defensive front.The second is...

This is the ball. Beverly originally thought that Paul would pass the ball, but Paul made an emergency stop and made a mid-range shot.Paul's mid-range shooting is terribly stable, with a very high hit rate, exceeding 4% in his career, and it has soared to close to 5% this season!This is also a killer feature.

Yes, the Lakers have a bit of a problem with the bulb combination that is getting better and better.

But this is also because it was the first game, and the Rockets came up with something new, which caught the Lakers a little off guard.

But let's talk about it, they can't stop the light bulb, so can the Rockets stop it...
