Legend Raiders

Chapter 126 Video Analysis
The next morning.

All members of the Rockets rushed to the training hall to make final preparations for tonight's game against the Lakers.

In view of the approaching game, Kevin McHale did not require a large number of players to play, but used training games to maintain his state, and emphasized some tactical details.

During the morning training, the Rockets maintained a very good state.

Especially on the defensive end, they have always been strong on offense and weak on defense, their enthusiasm and defensive attitude are really different from the beginning of the season.

For such a change, the Rockets must definitely thank the process of winning recently.

In the recent games won, the Rockets' oppressiveness on the defensive end is definitely the only magic weapon for winning.

Especially under the leadership of Qin Tao, the defense of the entire team has improved a degree.

also.

When Kevin McHale was still a player, he had a good understanding of the defensive end. With some pointers from him, assistance from Bickerstaff and others, some details and timing, the Rockets also benefited a lot from it.

By the afternoon.

All members of the Rockets went to the Toyota Center to gather at four o'clock, and followed the procedures to familiarize themselves with the venue and warm up a little.

Around five o'clock.

The Rockets have finished their warm-up and have begun to accept interviews with the media present.

At this time.

With the large team of the Lakers appearing in the arena, the super luxurious lineup in the team attracted a lot of media attention at that time.

Looking at the noisy scene in front of him, Qin Tao's eyes were somewhat envious.

But he is very clear that the Rockets' market is not bad, but compared with Los Angeles, it is only good after all.

"Little brother, why don't you just go and get some heat??" Delfino bumped into Qin Tao teasingly.

Qin Tao shrugged his shoulders: "The popularity is created by oneself, and it's not something that can make one's status climb."

have to.

Delfino shook his head dumbfounded: "I said, I really just wanted to make a joke."

Qin Tao suddenly put his arms around his shoulders, blinked his eyelids for a while: "Honestly speaking, do I really need to rub others' heat?"

Patting Delfino on the shoulder, Qin Tao turned around and walked towards the player tunnel.

Looking at Qin Tao's back, Delfino said subconsciously at that time: "As far as what you are doing now, I'm afraid someone else wants to rub your heat hard?"

Go back to the locker room.

Qin Tao did not choose to leave to rest, but stayed in the arena with Jeremy Lin and the others, got into the video editing room, and pondered the Lakers' play style and tactics this season together.

As a giant team in the league, the current Lakers are certainly not as prosperous as they were back then, but as long as there is a black Mamba, even if there is a trough, this state will not last long.

In the words of some team managers, as long as Kobe is around, it is absolutely impossible for the Lakers to become a big fish.

of course.

This thing sounds a bit metaphysical, at least in the few years before Qin Tao's rebirth, the performance of the Lakers was really a bit of that.

but.

In the past few years after winning the championship, although the Lakers have experienced ups and downs again, no one denies that they are still a powerful team.

After talking about the status of the Lakers over the years, let's talk about their current status.

With Howard, Kobe, Gasol and Nash, the Lakers have been regarded as favorites by everyone since the start of the season.

Some people even uttered rhetoric that the Lakers will once again lead an era.

Unfortunately it backfired.

Since the beginning of this season, the Lakers have given people a feeling of struggle.

Although their lineup is quite strong, they are only strong, and they did not show the background that a winning team should have at all. On the contrary, some unpleasant rumors appeared one after another.

of course.

What Qin Tao and the others care about is not these, but by studying their game video, trying their best to win the game.

"This season, the Lakers have encountered quite a lot of trouble, such as the problems between the team's management and the owner, and the selection of the head coach. The Lakers have experienced a rare confusion."

The video editor sitting on the side started with the relationship between the Lakers.

"If I were the general manager of the Lakers, or even the owner of the team, I would choose a coach with a balanced offense and defense, or even a defensive one, rather than an offensive coach who is offensive first and defensive third."

talking.

The video editor deliberately played the "highlights" of the Lakers' defense this season to Qin Tao and the others.

"When the Lakers face the attacks of other teams, their star players are certainly very strong, but basketball is always five people, not one person can handle it."

"In this game against the Magic, the Lakers can definitely be called crushing the Magic no matter in terms of book or personal ability, but this is not the case. Instead, they were led by the Magic by 10 points. The advantage, the process somewhat struggled and lost the game.”

"For example, on this ball, Steve and Kobe completely lacked communication. Under the double-point crossover of JJ Redick and Aaron Afflalo, they obviously stiffened."

"According to the usual tactical arrangement, they should make a choice immediately. Whether it is to immediately adopt a substitution defense or continue to stare, it will not allow Redick to play the desired offense."

"Unfortunately, these two top superstars in the league not only lost their judgment at the time, but also made low-level mistakes that only rookies would make. Both stagnated in front of Afflalo, and Redick chose to withdraw from the corner three Point line, received a precise pass from Afflalo, and finally got the three points."

Paused.

The video editor quickly switched to highlights of the Lakers' offense.

at first.

The performance of the Lakers is simply amazing, Kobe Bryant's unsolvable fadeaway jumper, Howard's full display of terror dominance inside, Nash's brilliant pen, Gasol's mid-range shot is accurate.

however.

As the screen gradually turned, the originally smooth collection suddenly gave Qin Tao and the others a sense of sluggishness, even stiffness, and incongruity.

"What did you find?" The video editor freezes the picture.

Like a good student, Qin Tao immediately raised his hand and said, "There seems to be no connection between them. There is obviously a lack of communication between the ball holder and the teammate without the ball, and the tactical running is quite chaotic."

"Bingo." The video editor snapped his fingers: "Although there are a large number of Lakers fans, and even some commentators and coaches, this situation will be attributed to the running-in period, but what I want to say is that Mike De. Anthony's tactics are simply not suitable for this Lakers team!"

Qin Tao immediately fell into deep thought, and agreed with this guy's words at that time.

If memory serves me correctly, D'Antoni's arrival was a casualty of the Lakers' power struggle.

Judging from the lineup of the Lakers, as mentioned before, it is not suitable to play D'Antoni's running and bombing tactics at all.

also.

Because the team has two super giants who need the ball, and the big man on the inside who is always talking about playing happy basketball and wants to be the team's first starting point, how to coordinate the relationship between them is definitely up to any coach The biggest headache.

compromise?

Everyone knows that as long as someone compromises and lowers their status, then this team will have an amazing chemical reaction.

But Nash absolutely needs to have the ball in his hands to be able to explode the maximum energy. Kobe has no concept of giving up the ball at all, and there is a big man inside who keeps opening his mouth for status. The team's own combination is somewhat It's like asking for trouble.

Think of these.

Qin Tao shook his head with emotion: "It's certainly an exciting thing to have a team of stars, but when choosing a star, you have to consider various issues."
