Chapter 1017 Hey Love Chris, let me give you a sentence
The same routine, the same drama, this is another joint live broadcast.
ESPN represents the Cavaliers and James, and T.N.T represents Tang Qian of the Lakers. Now the two companies have begun to compete fiercely, including the latest promotional video, which also has a clear stance. However, in terms of production costs and sophistication, it is still ESPN
This side is better. After all, they have money, right? In the United States, the most developed capitalist society, this is a big truth.
However, domestically, it is just the opposite. The support rates of the Lakers and Tang Qian have begun to completely surpass those of the Cavaliers and James.
Although there is some sense of moral kidnapping, it is true that a large number of neutral fans chose to be Tang Mi because of the nationality of Lakers No. 29. This is a nationality advantage. If you don't accept it, there is nothing you can do.
Arriving at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland in the evening, Tang Qian saw No. 23 on the opposite side preparing to spread magnesium powder. He was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Didn't you say you weren't going to spread it? Why did it start again?" James saw it.
It was Tang Qian, who was no longer as polite as he was to ordinary players: "Special treatment is given to special people. All the opponents I value, I will welcome them at home." "Oh, that is to say, I am now.
An opponent that you value? Right?" Tang Qian said: "Then I am honored."
"But...the victory is still mine."
"You really dare to think about it. Your team is missing several important players now. Why are you fighting with me?" James said coldly. "No need. This may be true for other teams, but
For you, for your team, one word." Tang Qian also said with a hint of tit-for-tat in his smile: "I am enough."
"Is it?"
"yes."
"Humph, that's good, I hope you can keep your word, Dongfang Hot!"
"I will. I always like to be a person who keeps his word. Don't worry, KING."
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"Oh, now we can see Tang Qian talking to James. Although we don't know what they said, their expressions don't seem very harmonious."
ESPN One Live Room.
"KING is having a conversation with Dongfang Bang. Judging from the situation, he is telling him where this place is tonight, whose home stadium it is, and whose territory it is!"
T.N.T live broadcast room.
"A war of words! Dongfang Fang was talking trash to KING from the very beginning! Although he was in an away game, he would not give his opponent any face. This is the tyrant Fang's usual approach and style! He looks very much like him.
signature shoes, I just go my own way!”
Yes, the Los Angeles Lakers are short of players in this game, missing Bosh and the main substitute Randall at the fourth position, but we have found a replacement, just wait and see. This guy has now proven himself
The desire is quite strong.
The Cavaliers' fourth position is Kevin Love. He is a shooting power forward, but he also has good post-up skills in the low post.
Of course, it is mainly used to bully opponents who are physically inferior to you.
However, he now simply looks down on the Lakers' new starter Robert Covington, so his style of play will not become a direct attack from behind. After all, that style of play is not Love's routine and habit.
Fighting style. When he uses this move, it consumes a lot of money, because compared to those real back-fighting emperors, they are still the type of physical confrontation. This is fine for a short time, but for a long time, it consumes too much physical energy.
Too much to bear. To put it simply, unless he is a monster like O'Neal, none of the real top back-up masters is not very skilled. Well, even O'Neal, do you really think that he has no skills in back-up play?
Do you really think everything except dunks is dunks? Wake up, O'Neal's low-post skills are frighteningly strong. His footsteps, turns, rhythm, seizing gaps, physical confrontation, all in all, none of them are top-notch. Only fake fans will think that O'Neal
Under the basket, there is nothing but the body. After all, even if you watch the highlight videos, you won't feel this way.
O'Neal's back hooks under the basket, turning around and shooting in the low post, and shooting after confrontation are all scary. Ordinary people will be killed every time they go up. Dunking is just one of his regular weapons in the low post, and it is by no means everything.
However, this has nothing to do with Love. He only attacks opponents who are obviously physically inferior. When faced with a strong defensive player and a strong black man with a strong body, he will usually be very smart and not choose to take such a shot or fight like this.
Of course, this is a kind of basketball IQ, but it is also a manifestation of his inability to attack tough situations with his back.
No nonsense, Love also ranked first in the league in post-up efficiency in the 2016-2017 season, but this was similar to James' post-up efficiency on the perimeter at that time. They were all selective plays and could not be transformed into conventional weapons and
A key offensive weapon. Otherwise, James' matchup data when he beat Kobe behind the back in time and space wouldn't be so bleak.
It can only be used occasionally, that's it.
Therefore, this data is indeed very deceptive. This is the reason why we should look at the data in conjunction with the game.
Otherwise, those who don’t know better would think that Love is the god of post-up play and is the strongest in the league.
What about the facts? How many times have you seen him use his back at critical moments? This is the answer to the question.
It’s good that everyone knows clearly.
In terms of fighting for the ball, Tang Qian had no pressure to deal with the Russian Mozgov, so the Lakers quickly pushed in and scored one. Now this tactic has basically become the standard for the Lakers every time they open the game. D'Antoni
I am very proud to give this opening tactic a name: the opening all-in tactic.
That is to say, the Lakers don't need to think about defense at the beginning of the game. They can just rush forward and press forward.
If this isn't due to the ability of Lakers No. 29 to compete for the ball, then what is it?
Would you dare to replace me with someone else?
The Cavaliers planned to use the 4th position as a breakthrough point from the beginning. They wanted to take advantage of the Lakers' absence of Bosh and Randall, and they had no choice but to defeat an opponent. However, all this was expected by Mike D'Antoni.
among.
Since Tang Qian and he strongly recommended the second-year player with a minimum salary who was not drafted, D'Antoni is very satisfied with the results in the last game. Because he is also very aware of his shortcomings and the defensive end of the system has sacrificed a lot, so he needs it very much.
It is best to be a one-man defensive player. That is, a defensive player who can carry alone without the help of the team as a whole.
Who knew this guy actually existed in the Lakers?
The first thing Tang Qian said when he recommended this guy was, believe me, Mr. D'Antoni, this guy may even surpass Chris in terms of defensive ability. I'm definitely not kidding, he is already very close to the defense.
Defensive ability.
There are only ten people in the defensive formation at most, and they are in all positions, so they are very close to the defense of the defensive formation, even if they are absolute defensive heroes.
Besides, others still have to weigh and weigh what they say, Lakers No. 29. D'Antoni asked himself that he has been dealing with this Oriental center for several years. He knows the personality of this Oriental center and rarely exaggerates. So when he said yes, it must be
Equipped with several brushes.
D'Antoni naturally asked Tang Qian why he said that, and Tang Qian had already thought about it. He said that he had fought several bullfights with the sophomore in private. He thought his defense was very good, and he could be both inside and outside.
Treasures to be discovered.
For a one-on-one challenge, Tang Qian and Covington made up for it several times afterwards, but in fact they were all done, so it was just a cover-up. But who would go to every level to check and ask questions about such a thing?
That's it. Besides, even if it's fake, even if Tang Qian just wants to promote his own team "confidant", then D'Antoni must give it to him.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in the NBA. Anyway, the team is missing the No. 4 player now. What's wrong with giving a favor? Who knows that after the last game, D'Antoni really thought this guy was pretty good.
, he completed the task he assigned perfectly. Even though there were some hiccups in the middle, even though the second grader made some decisions on his own, and even though he was a little angry at the time, it was quite unexpected to see that the second grader actually completed it.
Then D'Antoni has nothing to say.
Are you talented and capable? Of course you are a little confident and a little conceited. This is no problem.
Regardless of whether they are at home or abroad, there will always be more understanding and accommodation with this kind of people. The United States is no different.
However, one game is still too few. If he wants to be truly classified as a "talent" and "capable person" by D'Antoni, Robert Covington needs more games to prove himself.
Moreover, the more critical the game, the more it can be highlighted and the more "sense of presence" can be enhanced in D'Antoni's mind.
I must do my best! I can’t waste this hard-won opportunity! It’s the first start! My previous dream! Now it’s just around the corner. If I don’t grasp it, I will regret it for the rest of my life. So...
...We have to fight!!!
I will use my full strength to block my opponent!!!
This unknown non-draft player has good eyes, but in professional basketball, what's the use of just having eyes?
Ability is the last word.
Love has to attack when he holds the ball. He is actually not having a smooth season this season. A very simple thing, what are his statistics in the Timberwolves? He is considered to be the top insider statistics in the active league. Before he came to the Cavaliers, what was he?
The situation? Not too much, not too much, the average per game is about 26+13+4+1. Taken together, this data was unique among all insiders in the league last year. It can be called invincible. Of course, he
His PER is also the undisputed first among insiders in the league!
But this season...well, it has dropped to only about 16+10+2. If you want to make a shrinkage ratio, it is quite amazing. It can be called a comprehensive decline. So, what do you think?
Fu Neng is not angry at all?
His fans and outside comments began to give him the nickname "stat brusher", saying that he could only get this kind of data in the Timberwolves. So in fact, this data has no gold content at all, it just ignores the ball.
The team's record was wiped out.
Love vomited blood when he saw this. He thought to himself, is it easy for me to labor? Don't you look at how many shots I sacrifice per game? How much ball rights I sacrifice? M.D! A bunch of idiots who only look at statistics!!!
But it's a pity that this is the overall trend of the NBA now. Everything depends on the data first. If you don't have data, it won't work no matter how you make excuses.
So in Love's game, he wanted to make a good splash, taking advantage of the Lakers' No. 4 position, which is just a big waste averaging 2.3+0.7 per game. This is to prove that his ability is absolutely OK!
Roberto, remember, now is the best time for you to perform continuously and highlight your performance, because now the entire league looks down upon you and will not be wary of you, so you can surprise them and catch them off guard as much as possible.
You don’t have to be afraid of anything, and you don’t have to worry about scale or movements. If something happens, I’m here, so you can just go on defense without worry.
Damn it! With the word "hot", what else do I have to be afraid of? The boss with the best fighting ability is supporting me! How many people dream of it!!! How many teams are there now?
Where’s the boss who looks like he’s permed???
So not only for myself, but also for him, I have to defend with all my strength!!!
Love's shot didn't go in, because his breakthrough didn't grab any position or opportunity, and his shot was seriously interfered with, so the shot was very deflected.
Tsk~so lucky~
But it was just a ball, so Love didn't take it seriously and turned around and went back to defense.
But soon, he noticed the difference, because he actually made only 1 of 5 shots in the first quarter? He only scored 4 points by relying solely on free throws. This shooting rate and efficiency are really... touching.
ESPN One Live Room.
"Oh, Love was in bad shape at the beginning of tonight, otherwise the Cavaliers would have taken the lead."
"Yes, but Love is a veteran star. He can adjust himself. Once he adjusts, it will be the end of the temporary water dispenser."
In the second quarter, most of the time is the weak time of the Lakers, because at this time, Tang Qian will have the longest rest period in the entire game. Although it is much better than last year, this quarter is still a problem. The Cavaliers should have
Carrying out crazy attacks, but this time James also misunderstood and chose to continue to feed Love. After all, in his eyes, he was a "super water machine" who only played 7 regular season games and 34 minutes last season.
, is the Lakers’ biggest loophole right now.
Unfortunately, he didn't realize until Tang Qian came on stage that he had made a mistake.
Regardless of whether he is in good shape or has caught up, tonight the "super water dispenser" whose name I don't even know actually restricted, no, it can no longer be called a restriction, it just completely prevented the three-time All-Star player, Kay
Wen. Love. Love is currently only making 3 of 13 shots, with a shooting percentage of only 23%! This hit is extremely miserable no matter what.
Seeing this, James immediately took advantage of a little time and began to attack the Lakers inside. Finally, he overtook the score before the Lakers came back on the 29th, but it was only 1 point. This was not good for the Cavaliers.
In other words, even if the Lakers' defense was at its weakest, the time when they could easily open up the score and establish an advantage is gone forever.
Damn it, what happened to Kevin Love? He was in such a bad state tonight? Don’t you know this game is very important to me? Damn it!!!
Until now, James doesn't think it was the second-year "super water cooler" who guarded Love. Love is already a famous star, so how could he be restricted by an unknown little person?
ESPN also said:
Love's touch was so bad tonight~ This is really cheap for the Los Angeles Lakers~
But we believe he will adjust. He was a star who averaged 26+ points per game last season. He was the top player in PER last year. How could he be guarded by a little guy whose name I can’t even remember?
But they overestimated Love. This season, Love has been "Boshized" under James' system. In other words, his ability has begun to show a significant discount. You have to give him back.
If you think of it as the "Minnesota Wolf King" last season, you are just dreaming.
This season, he only has 16+ scoring ability left, and his performance in the playoffs will be even worse, worse, and even more embarrassing.
To put it simply, he didn’t make it to the All-Stars this season. You already know the situation, the best team? Then don’t even think about it. How can he still be in the best team if there are no All-Stars? He didn’t drink too much, right?
Therefore, it is not surprising that Love was caught off guard by his opponent when he underestimated his opponent.
Very normal.
After a few more shots that didn't go in, Love's own mentality gradually became worse and his condition began to decline. Instead, Robert Covington on the opposite side came into his own. The more he defended, the better he got, and the stronger he defended, the stronger he became.
.
At this time, Tang Qian was also unambiguous and came up with a "trash talk" that added fuel to the fire:
"Hey~ Big brother~ you know what~ Our Chris Bosh wants me to tell you something."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Love to listen, he continued: "Before he played with King, he was also the first player in the PER league. He was also the best second team in the league. He asked me to tell you, King
Wen, don’t worry, the decline now is just the beginning~ The really exciting big slide is yet to come.”
"You have to be fully mentally prepared~haha~"
Well, this time, Le Fu's mentality completely collapsed.
