Chapter 1017 The Knights of World War II require data to win
But it was only one game, and the media was not very enthusiastic about Covington's performance. There are so many NBA games, and there are many role players who performed well in one game, but so what? Besides, just 12 points is not that outstanding.
Well~ the defensive data is not very good either~ this kind of player is too attractive~
After all, it is difficult to see the performance of the defensive end and the basic data. For example, in Covington's last game, although he only had 1 block and 1 steal, he actually blocked Tobias, who was in great form.
.Harris. But you can’t see this if you just look at the basic data. Because of his defensive success, there is no basic data to query. This is why the media did not spend much space reporting on his performance in this game.
I just mentioned briefly that a certain rookie on the Lakers' defense was acceptable, and there was nothing wrong with Covington.
Tang Qian said to Covington during training the next day: "Ignore the reports of these authoritative media. Most of them are just idlers. Unless you play thoroughly, it will be difficult for you to get their attention.
"As he spoke, he did not forget to insult himself and said: "You are like me. It's because I was beaten that they spared no effort to insult me, right? Otherwise, if they insult an ordinary bench role player, they will probably be beaten by their own
The supervisor and the upper-level editor-in-chief scolded each other like crazy. So, as players, we just need to play well. When you really play well, certain things will come naturally. Do you understand? Luo
Potter?"
"Well, I understand, thank you for coming here to enlighten me. I'm still too young and don't have enough experience to deal with these."
"Haha~ It's okay, it's okay~ Slowly you will become an 'old bacon' like me~ There will be experience~ There will be honors~ There will also be praise and attention~ You just need to keep up~"
"Tang, do you really think so highly of me? I only played one game, aren't you afraid that the last game was just my luck?" Robert Covington asked, because he was still looked down upon.
For too long, this has caused him to be very unsure of himself. It is not difficult to understand. His road to fame was really bumpy. No one wanted him in the draft, but he finally joined the Houston Rockets.
He was sent to the Development League, also known as the NBDL, 6 times to play. Ordinarily, he also played well in the NBDL. He averaged 23.2 points per game, ranking second in the Development League, and also had 9+ rebounds and 2+ steals. He was versatile enough.
, but what they got in exchange was the ruthless layoff of the Rockets.
All of this had a great impact on his NBA basketball dream.
In addition, the few reports about him from the outside world are usually negative and ridiculing, so over time, his self-confidence has been almost eliminated. The current situation is a sign that self-confidence is still insufficient.
Tang Qian gave him a very definite answer: "No, I believe in my own vision. Your future will only be better, not worse."
"After all, Robert, you work so hard every day. It's not a lie, is it?"
"Come on~ The next game~ will be your real touchstone~ Because you also know the grudges and grudges between me and my next opponent, right? Haha~ So for my sake~ please come on~" Tang Qian made a joke
The "please" gesture made Robert Covington feel a little flattered. They say that No. 29 of the Lakers is a violent person, very cruel, and his teammates will be severely punished if they don't agree with him... Is this fake?
of?
No, it's not.
I heard them say that before I even arrived, Dongfang Fang picked up veteran Carlos Boozer and threw him out of the gate of Toyota Sports Center. This can’t be fake. Covington secretly
After sizing up this oriental giant who was over 7 feet tall, I finally came to this point:
I am really liked and favored by him, otherwise, there is no reason to explain this situation.
In this case...I have to work harder! Because this is the first time that a team boss looks at me differently!
I don’t cherish this kind of opportunity, so I deserve to have trouble staying in the league in the future.
Well, I have to work hard. The next game is against...against this team? No wonder Fang said this!
Okay, this game is also broadcast live across the United States, I can’t waste it! I must play hard!
Play hard! This opportunity must not slip away!!!
Robert Covington turned his head and looked at the remaining schedule posted on the training hall, silently saying to himself.
At the same time, in Cleveland in the East, someone was giving a team lecture:
"We lost the last game. We must get back this game at home. We can't lose again. Now they are missing several important players and their strength has dropped a lot. If they lose again, it will be a loss.
We in Cleveland have lost our own face! Do you all know this? In the next game, we face the Los Angeles Lakers and we must win!!! We must win!!!!!!!!!!”
There is no doubt that the Cavaliers' matchup against the Lakers is now a huge traffic party. Before the game even starts, a large number of topics will start to arise spontaneously:
See the Cavaliers versus the Lakers again, another half-month of swords and swords, the aftermath is hard to deal with~
Last time we lost, Qimi and James were depressed and shut up for more than half a month. This time it’s our turn to fight back~ Let the nobles of the Lakers also have a taste of what we have experienced for more than half a month~~~ Wake up, Cleveland
~Rise up, Emperor James~
Do you still want to win? Didn’t you learn a lesson last time? I’m going to piss you off for half a month this time~
This is because our team injured Chris Bosh and Randall, otherwise I would not argue with you. You are not worthy of playing against us. Your strength is far behind~
James is invincible~ He will return to his hometown this season to fulfill his youthful vow~
Don't put gold on James' face~ He is just a king~ The only kings at the level are Chamberlain and our great Emperor Tang~
If you say that to Emperor James again, I will kill you~
I'm afraid of you, demo~ Tell me your address~ We can choose between basketball one-on-one and boxing and kicking one-on-one~
Damn, you're going too far, aren't you?
You are the one I bully~ If I don’t undermine you, you think our fan base of Emperor Tang Ji is vulnerable, right?
Anyway, similar words started to happen, just like last time, it was almost the same.
The only difference may be that the contradictions and conflicts have become more intense. After all, the Lakers and Tang Qian won the last game, which made many James fans feel aggrieved for a long time. So this time, they have to
Get it back and pay back twice as much pain for more than half a month.
Not to mention these ordinary fans, the major media in the United States are also arguing endlessly and taking sides.
ESPN Sports Illustrated and others continue to side with James, and with the Cavaliers' recent five-game winning streak, it is worthy of such bragging.
T.N.T, the Los Angeles Times, Laker Nation, Bleachers, etc. support the Lakers and Tang Qian. They believe that the Lakers led by Tang Qian have a natural attribute restraint advantage over the Cavaliers.
Anyway, now, whenever the Cavaliers and Lakers meet, there will be conflicts in the story before and after.
This also makes the newly appointed president Adam Silver smile. After all, what the alliance needs most is this kind of confrontation script. This kind of classic confrontation script has also been the eye-catching magic weapon of the alliance for so many years. From the very beginning
Chamberlain versus Russell, then Kareem Abdul-Jabbar versus Chamberlain, then Moses Malone versus Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson versus Big Bird, the four major centers in the 1990s competed for hegemony. Even in the era of Jordan's absolute dominance, the league still wanted
He brought up several people to challenge him, but unfortunately Qiao Shen was too strong and his opponents didn't live up to expectations, so he had to give up in the end.
As of now, Zenko's fight for hegemony has been a topic that the league has been hyping up. Unfortunately, the original time and space did not appear. This time and space was due to Tang Qian's intervention, which fulfilled all the big fantasies. Now that Kobe has retired, who can compete with him?
James is tough? The original choice is the entire Warriors team, including Durant or Curry. In fact, they can't compare to James in one-on-one. The level and accumulation are too far behind. Besides, they can't restrain this at all.
Crazy humanoid tank.
In terms of pure offensive and defensive comprehensive ability comparison, I don't know how much James is higher than them.
Durant Curry can compete with James in scoring, but what about defense?
The difference is estimated to be as big as eighteen Manhattan blocks.
But now it seems that a new guy has appeared. He is the Lakers' No. 29. His strength and performance are enough to be promoted to this position. In this way, the league can have another "showdown hype". The selling point is this
Business alliance is something that we have been looking for tirelessly. We have never given up.
But this game was shocking, and even made our "campus president" have other thoughts.
But it’s too early to talk about this now. This game will start at 7:30 pm on February 8th, US time, at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. The Lakers will have their last regular season meeting with the Cavaliers this season.
Because they belong to the East and West respectively, the two teams only have two opportunities to face off in a season, except for the finals.
This is also a place that attracts a lot of attention from fans every time.
At this time, of course, there was also a turmoil in China. Zhang Weiping wrote in his personal column:
The three major reasons why the Lakers must beat the Cavaliers suddenly made James in China angry. He left comments below and threatened to occupy this place permanently and massacre the invincible.
But in fact, it is not just Zhang Weiping, including Yang Yi, Su Qun, etc., who have also published their own columns. Although they are not as "explicit" as "Zhang Lili" writes, in fact, if you look at it in detail, you can see between the lines.
Still secretly supporting the Lakers and Tang Qian. There is no way. Now the Zijin Army is led by Chinese players. If you don't support him, who will you support?
Just how the domestic media supported Yao Ming back then, they support Tang Qian now. Coupled with the "intimate signal" sent by Chairman Yao, the level of support is even worse than the former.
Before this game, Taylor happened to be in Cleveland doing an album promotion event, so he made an appointment with Tang Qian. Who would have expected that ESPN would suddenly break the news before the game, saying that the Lakers were underestimating their opponent on the 29th, and that the battle was still going on.
Being entangled with female stars, such an attitude disrespects the game and basketball.
When Tang Qian heard this, he almost wanted to slap her in the face! Damn, don't say that Taylor and I were just going shopping normally, and were not as "indescribable" as you wrote. Even so, she is my current
Object, can’t I do something “unspeakable” with her? N.N.D! Isn’t that what you said when you boasted that Harden defeated us?
Doesn’t it mean that Harden can easily defeat the Lakers in his game life?
Doesn’t it mean that people can control the ball off the court and on the court?
Isn’t it said that this is the big winner in life?
Damn it! Why did you come to my place and look like this???
Tang Qian was interviewed by a local reporter in Cleveland on the eve of the game and said unceremoniously:
I said the game is just a game, can you not involve other things? I can go out with whoever I want? How long have I been out and what have I done? Do I still need to report it to ESPN people? Besides, I said I only went out once.
Hours, the rest of the time is spent practicing, I guess they won’t believe it, right? Therefore, I call on my fans to watch my news in the future, and never watch ESPN, unless after I win, then you
You can see how I can fight against them.
What? What do you think I think of tonight's game?
What else can I say? Do you want to hear the truth or do you want to hear a lie? The lie is that the Cavaliers are a great team. We don’t know if we can beat them. Let’s do our best~ The truth
Is that nonsense? We are a professional team. What are we here for? Are we here to lose? Just think about it. Yes, we are here to win. I want to defeat the Cavaliers and James.
I want to take victory away from Cleveland. Well, this is the real answer to this stupid question that you, me and he, everyone knows, but they pretend to ask me.
When these words reached James' ears, he was no longer as reserved as usual and replied forcefully:
Dongfang Fang is a straight-tempered person, which I admire very much, but they can’t win. This is not Angel City, this is not Staples Center, this is Cleveland, this is Quicken Loans Arena, and this is my LeBron James’ territory! I want it.
To win, you have to ask me if I agree or not!
Tang Qian also laughed when he heard this, because this is what he wanted to hear. The nonsense about hello, me, and everyone is false as soon as it sounds. It is everywhere in society, so it is still necessary to
What does the NBA say in competitive circles?
Very good, LeBron James, let us have another good show, but the result will be the same as before.
I win and win the data, you lose and lose the data, right, that's it.
Before I become the well-deserved number one in the league, facing you, I will always have the attitude of firing on all cylinders.
So, are you ready? The second act of the showdown of our era has begun.
LeBron James.
