Chapter 679 679. The Pick-and-Roll Terminator
Gasol lost the jump ball to Howard without any suspense. The Rockets attacked first, Harden held the ball, and Liu Ren defended him
Calm, this is Liu Ren's feeling when he sees Harden again after four months.
This time when Harden came to Los Angeles, he didn't come to Liu Ren's house for a meal like before. Perhaps it was because he was not selected as an All-Star this time. He felt ashamed to step into the place known as the "Superstar Training Gym".
Before the All-Star Weekend, the Lakers and the Rockets played against each other three times. Although the Rockets had a bad record at that time, Harden felt that there was still hope for the playoffs, and he didn’t think he couldn’t make it to the All-Stars, but this time he came He didn't make the All-Star for the first time after arriving in the Rockets, so he started to feel a little touched.
Liu Ren saw that Harden began to feel mature from his temperament. The Lakers felt that the sudden collapse of the Rockets' strength caused by Howard this year might not be a bad thing for Harden. This guy is about to enter a more difficult level to deal with.
If it was Harden before, facing Liu Ren, he would definitely do it directly, and he would come up with all fouls and European moves.
But this time Harden called a pick-and-roll.
The biggest difference between a mature organizer and some organizers who only know to meet is whether they will regard the pick-and-roll as their first choice.
This has nothing to do with whether the pick-and-roll is good or not, or whether the pick-and-roll technique is good or not, it is purely a matter of consciousness.
Harden was a very good pick-and-roll organizer when he was still in the Thunder, but he was similar to Westbrook at that time. He just liked to do it by himself. sixth person.
But now Harden has begun to change. A ball-holding organizer who is good at pick-and-rolls and regards pick-and-rolls as his first choice is much better than an organizer who can only show off his skills and use various methods to attract double-teams and divide the ball!Of course it has to be the same person.
Such as James and Wade, two generations of Utah Shuangsha, Kidd, Nash...
Of course, if it's Westbrook and Peak Rose, they can play whatever they like, and they are still great.
But if the peak Rose learns to use the pick-and-roll well, his knee won't be disabled so early.
This is why people have always been skeptical about Westbrook.
As far as the current stage is concerned, Liu Ren feels that Harden will become stronger than Westbrook!
Harden called a pick-and-roll. Originally, Liu Ren thought that Howard would come out. After all, Howard was too strong, and he was the best pick-and-roller to block him.
However, Howard just went in and out of the inside, but he didn't come up, it was Capela who came up!
Harden used Capela's cover to enter the inside line. Capela was knocked to death by Liu Ren, but at least he blocked Liu Ren.
Antetokounmpo really can't keep up with Harden's footsteps. This guy is a bit bloated, but his body is full of tendons, and his speed is so fast. Liu Ren and Antetokounmpo hurriedly double-teamed In the past, letting Harden get into the basket, the sister-in-law had to be ravaged again.
Harden immediately passed to Capela who cut in after the pick-and-roll, and Capela caught the ball and went to the basket...According to common sense, a teammate played a pick-and-roll pass and cut, and the stake was made by an inside and outside line, so another inside line would It's time to open up the space and let the teammate who cuts in and receives the ball face the basket. Even if you can't open the defense, at least open up the space and let the teammates one-on-one.
However, the reason why Howard was disgusted by Nash was that besides his pick-and-roll and running in to ask for the ball without blocking people, there was also the fact that he made trouble when others were picking and rolling.
Just like now, Howard saw Capela rushing in unguarded. He neither opened up the space nor made a counter-run to put pressure on the opponent. Instead, he squeezed with Gasol in the reasonable collision zone like that. And he was blocked by Gasol, still asking for the ball.
The three-second zone is a large area for ordinary people, but for a seven-foot man, two people squeezed in it already occupies most of the area, which is why Rose and Westbrook are so fast. The pure breakthrough hand sprints completely, the reason why the inside players can't hide, they can only be dunked, because they occupy too much area!There is no way to avoid it completely.
Now Capela is really depressed. He has no offensive means, except for dunks. Gasol, a giant man of [-] meters, is under the basket, and there is Howard. He has to be Griffin or Only a super-jumping insider like Jordan can dunk in between two people, or else only a small person can jump so high.
And at this time Howard is still asking for the ball!Capela had no choice but to pass the ball...
Gasol reached out and directly received the pass, which was so obvious that it made people speechless.
Gasol simply felt that his former teammate was a talent!To let this Papera, who looks like a peerless brat, pass the ball, he is really a talent!
Harden and Capela's pick-and-roll can be said to be perfect. Although Capela is not skilled, his pick-and-roll sense and pick-and-roll quality are perfect.
D'Antoni's eyes lit up watching Harden and Capela's pick-and-roll from the sidelines. Although the goal was missed, the pick-and-roll was really beautiful!He even felt that if the old coach Sloan saw this scene, he would probably recover from Parkinson's disease... Of course, it might be more serious, after all, it was already serious enough for the old coach to retire.
Harden and Capela's pick-and-rolls are really good, and Liu Ren is also sure of this. If it is two-on-two, he and Antetokounmpo can't prevent the pick-and-rolls of these two, and Howard must be "assistantly defending."
However, the two are the best, at least this year, or today's game, Liu Ren is not worried at all, because the opponent has Howard.
According to the memory of this previous body, Howard was the "pick-and-roll terminator" of the Lakers when he was in the Lakers. Of course, it was the Lakers' own pick-and-roll that ended.
With Howard, no matter how perfect the Rockets pick-and-roll is, the success rate will not be high, because Capela has no mid-range, which is the only flaw in Harden's pick-and-roll!This is also the best luck for the Lakers to beat the Rockets!
Harden's perfect pick-and-roll ended with a disease, and the disease was Howard.
But for the Lakers, Liu Ren started his performance.
Unlike before Liu Ren got his latest body data, Liu Ren was very opposed to the tactic of taking the ball first and hitting himself. Now Liu Ren seems to have installed a racing engine and installed a new speedometer (that thing is called a speedometer. It’s the same as AE86, the seal of more than a month ago was lifted!
Liu Ren received the pass from Gasol and pushed forward, and observed the Rockets' defense...it's really bad!
Not to mention compared with the two seasons of 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 when Howard just went to the Rockets, even the first half of the season when Howard was still patient is too far behind!
