The new Lakers coach was selected, and the final winner was Mike D’Antoni.——ESPN.

The Lakers gave up "Zen Master" Jackson and signed the running and gun master! - T.N.T.

Mike D'Antoni, 3+1 contract, 12 million for 3 years, with the fourth year as a team option! - Yahoo Sports.

The Los Angeles Lakers enter the run-and-gun era! - FOX Sports.

As soon as this news came out, the outside world was abuzz, and the Los Angeles fans seemed very dissatisfied.

"What's going on? Why Mike D'Antoni? Didn't Phil say yes? Why not sign him?"

"Stupid! This is simply the stupidest head coach signing I have ever seen! You didn't want the best head coach in history, but you chose a run-and-gun guy! Are the management's brains stuck?

"

"That's right, what achievements does Mike D'Antoni have? European champion? We don't care about that! How can a man who has not even won a championship lead the luxurious Lakers this season?"

"Idiot management! Idiot Mitch Kupchak! Our Lakers team is not here to watch this season! We are here to win the championship! We want the O'Brien Cup! Do you understand?"

"And he signed it for 4 years! How stupid! Haven't they learned Mike Brown's lesson yet?"

"Phil! We want Phil!!!"

Compared to the fans outside, the Lakers are currently under cloudy conditions and low pressure is gathering.

Kobe Bryant looked livid, Gasol looked dejected, and Ci Shiping looked dissatisfied. As for Howard, although he also felt a little regretful, he had never experienced the era of Phil Jackson, so his feelings were not that profound.

"How could this happen? Kobe? Didn't you say that Phil has already agreed? Why did he suddenly become Mike D'Antoni again?" Ci Shiping looked at Kobe and asked in disbelief. Kobe did not answer.

It's just that his face turned three points bluer.

The most frustrated person is none other than Pau Gasol, because he was originally looking forward to the return of Phil Jackson the most.

Sure enough, small details may have been affected by my "butterfly", but the general trend of history does not seem to have changed much.

The Los Angeles Lakers finally chose Mike D'Antoni instead of "Zen Master" Phil Jackson.

After completing the signing ceremony, Mike D'Antoni came to the Lakers' training ground in the afternoon.

He is an old man who looks very ordinary. Although he also played in the NBA when he was young, at first glance, he is not as tall as Phil Jackson. On the contrary, he is a bit stooped and thin.

"Hello everyone, I'm Mike D'Antoni, your new head coach for the next few years!" Mike D'Antoni didn't have stage fright. He greeted him warmly as soon as he came in. However, the response to his voice was sparse, and you could tell right away that there was no one there.

A bit energetic. D'Antoni seemed to have been mentally prepared for this scene, so he smiled slightly and continued: "I know everyone is surprised by my arrival, but the NBA is a business league, and accidents are normal.

What's the old saying? Oh, by the way, since you can't resist, then choose to enjoy it." Mike D'Antoni smiled and said: "Enjoyment is better than depression, right, everyone?"

His move instantly resolved the awkward atmosphere when he first entered the door, and the distance between the Lakers and him suddenly became a little closer.

"I just arrived today, so I won't do any complicated tactical drills. Let's just relax and play ball in the evening." Mike D'Antoni said: "Winning is the best, I'll treat everyone to a big dinner! Did you lose..."

He smiled and said: "Then please! Consider it a meeting gift for everyone!"

Seeing this, Tang Qian discovered Mike D'Antoni's ability. At least in terms of integrating into the team, he is more than three times better than Mike Brown. Although this cannot immediately establish the authority of the head coach, it does have a certain impact on the team's ability.

The overall atmosphere is a good adjustment. You must know that NBA games are sometimes not just 5VS5. The atmosphere and disharmony of the team are often a factor that determines the outcome.

At least the initial depression gradually dissipated among the Lakers.

Otherwise, with that kind of atmosphere and emotion, it would be strange if the Nuggets didn't completely defeat them tonight.

And this game is the opportunity that Tang Qian needs to seize.

He will try his best to perform in this game.

"Don, I'm going to watch your game at Staples Center tonight. How about we go get something to eat after the game?" The call was from Taylor Swift. Tang Qian originally wanted to prepare for the game seriously.

He rejected her, but in an instant, he changed his mind again. Because he had something that he wanted to return to Taylor Swift, and it was best to thank her in person.

"Well, okay, I'll go find you after the game." Tang Qian replied.

After hearing Tang Qian's reply, Taylor Swift immediately said happily: "Okay, then it's settled~ Let's see you tonight~"

In the evening game against the Denver Nuggets, Tang Qian looked at the opposing lineup and said in a daze: "What...what's going on? Have the Nuggets changed their blood? Why are most of them new faces?" "Are you surprised?

What?" Ci Shiping said: "The reason why the Nuggets are like this, isn't it all your fault?"

"Me? What does it have to do with me?" Tang Qian said in a daze.

"What does it matter? Haha~ That's a big deal~" Ci Shiping said with a mischievous smile: "Fortunately this is our Lakers' home court tonight. If you go to Denver's home court, try it. You will definitely be booed all over again.

To the end!" "Ah~ why? Did I steal the Denver Nuggets' money? Why did you do this to me?" Seeing that Tang Qian hadn't remembered yet, Ci Shiping finally pointed it out and said: "Please, please.

~Hot~Have you forgotten the fight in the last playoffs? Because of you, the entire Nuggets team is still semi-paralyzed, and a full 7 people have been suspended. Hehe, the Nuggets are going to be unlucky this season.

!If you say this, can the people of Denver not boo you?"

Yuan, it turns out that’s the reason!

No wonder I always feel that the other person looks at me with a vague "murderous intent". It turns out that this is the problem!

Tang Qian thought about the details of the punishment, and felt a hint of sympathy in his heart. The Nuggets are in difficulty this season.

We have played 16 games so far, with a total of 2 wins and 14 losses, and the record in the league is last.

If it weren't for the suspension of some players, 0 wins and 16 losses would probably not be impossible.

Fortunately, the team's "boss" Ty Lawson has returned, otherwise this game would have been a massacre.

Before the start of this game, Tang Qian received the long-lost "different space" challenge mission. On this day in history, it was restarted.

The final challenge statistic he drew was that of Wayne Cooper on November 30, 1985, with 11 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks.

Tang Qian looked at this set of data and felt that there should be a lot to do tonight.

Facing the remnant formation, he will never show mercy.

Because in professional basketball, being kind to your enemies is cruel to yourself!

Since the main inside players JaVale McGee and Kenneth Faried are still suspended, the Nuggets had to use Timofey Mozgov as the main center in this game. The Russian is very tall.

, more than 7 feet, with an altitude of 216CM, but his athletic ability is mediocre and his steps are even slower, so he has no advantage at all against Dwight Howard.

Even if "Warcraft" has a back injury now, it's not something that just Timofey Mozgov can handle.

There was no suspense about the ball, and it fell into the hands of the Lakers.

Throughout the first quarter, the Lakers showed strong firepower. Kobe seemed to want to get a good omen for a coaching change, so he tried his best to restrain his desire to score in the first quarter. Under Kobe's guidance, the Lakers

Played an extremely smooth offense, among which Dwight Howard played the most energetically, with 16 points and 5 rebounds in a single quarter, directly beating Russian center Timofey Mozgov to doubt his life. And Kobe was also very

With his cooperation and 5 assists in a single quarter, the entire Lakers team came to life.

34-27, the Lakers led by 7 points and entered the second quarter.

Tang Qian played 2 minutes and 14 seconds in the first quarter and scored 2 points, 3 rebounds and 1 block.

In the second quarter of the game, Kobe scored 10 points in a single quarter, and the most important thing was that someone stood up on the bench. He was Jody Meeks. He made 5 of 6 three-pointers in a single quarter and used more than 80% of his shots.

The three-point shooting percentage hit the Nuggets in a mess from the outside.

37-30, once again leading by 7 points in a single quarter.

Tang Qian played 3 minutes in the second quarter and scored 2 points and 3 rebounds.

At the end of this quarter, there seemed to be a problem with Pau Gasol's running. Gary Vitti took a quick look and immediately suggested to new coach Mike D'Antoni: "Mr. D'Antoni, there is something wrong with the sole of Paul's right foot."

Inflammation symptoms, it is best for him not to continue playing in this game." "Inflammation? Gary, didn't Paul have surgery during the offseason? Why are there still inflammatory symptoms?" D'Antoni seems to have done a lot.

Homework, so he asked as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Paul had surgery in the offseason, and the surgery was successful, but Mike Brown used him too hard in the new season, so there was some inflammation in the post-operative area, which is also normal. Furthermore, I also watched

Look, Paul's two knees are not in good condition, so my suggestion is to stop playing immediately and rest." After listening to Gary Vitti's professional explanation, Mike D'Antoni nodded and said: "How long will this recovery period take? It needs to be carried out.

Second surgery?”

"It's not necessary." Gary Vitti examined it carefully for a while, then opened his mouth and replied: "For this small degree of inflammation, just take some medicine and antibiotics. The main thing is not to be overtired during the recovery period."

"Can you play with an injury?" Mike D'Antoni continued to ask. "It's not like playing with an injury. After taking the medicine, you can still play 20-30 minutes per game, but it's best not to exceed 30 minutes, because like this

His body cannot bear the high intensity yet. It will take at least 2 months before he can return to playing 30+ games."

Mike D'Antoni nodded, as long as he can play, that's fine. Otherwise, without an All-Star No. 4, the team's strength will be greatly reduced. He first came to the Lakers, and he didn't want to be short of players when he arrived.

Major General.

"Then Paul, please take a break for this game." Mike D'Antoni glanced at the locker room, and finally his eyes rested on Tang Qian and said: "China Hot, next you go to take Paul's position.

Problem?"

"No problem, Mr. Mike D'Antoni." Tang Qian nodded and agreed.

In fact, Tang Qian had long expected Pau Gasol's injury. In his impression, the Spaniard only played 49 regular season games this season, which was the lowest season appearance in his entire NBA career. In other words, the Spaniard only played 49 regular season games this season.

, the Spaniard will miss a full 33 games this season. And this is one of Tang Qian's so-called opportunities.

Don't get me wrong, although Tang Qian has taken over Pau Gasol's position, it does not mean that he wants to sit firmly in the team's No. 4 position. Because what he wants to firmly sit in is the No. 5 position.

It's the center position of the team.

"Chinese, just follow me later, but don't hold me back!" Howard glanced at Tang Qian and said casually. Even though the Lakers had played 15 games in the regular season, he and Tang Qian

Tang Qian almost never played at the same time. Because in the Mike Brown era, Tang Qian was always the center of the substitute lineup, or occasionally paired with Pau Gasol. As for Dwight Howard, he almost missed the playing time of these two people.
