In the end, Tang Qian scored 17 points, 28 blocks, 20 rebounds and 2 assists. However, AMVP still gave the Thunder zero points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 steals and 1 block in this game.
No., Russell Westbrook. This is not unusual. Tang Qian got it last year. If he gets it again this year, it will be with Westbrook. Unfortunately, this time AMVP has no chance with Tang Qian, so it is exclusive to Russell.
Serge Westbrook alone.
Of course, Westbrook's statistics are definitely worthy of tonight's AMVP, but it's a pity for Tang Qian.
After Westbrook won the first MVP trophy in his life, he hugged Tang Qian hard. After all, he knew very well that without the help of the Lakers' No. 29 big man, he would never win the AMVP tonight.
.At least that's what he thought.
Not to mention Westbrook's playing style, his personality is relatively straightforward and not so secretive.
And Tang Qian didn't know that from now on, the seeds of Westbrook's road to great success began to be planted after today's game. Thunder team No. 0's desire to improve data was seduced by the former...
…unstoppable.
Kerr humorously praised Westbrook and Tang Qian after the game, claiming that if they were willing to come to the Golden State Warriors, he could give up his head coaching position to them. This was of course a joke, but Kerr
It's this style. He prefers to speak "skin once" or "skin a few times." The Warriors players are basically used to it.
Moreover, they have led the Warriors to become the absolute king of the league as soon as they came, and the season slogan has been directly changed to winning the championship... No Warriors player will not understand the gap here. But everything still needs to be tested in the playoffs, Mark
When Jackson led the team, the regular season was actually pretty good, but once they entered the playoffs, they immediately slumped and even became a completely different team.
Everything depends on the results.
Of course, Cole is also very confident in his abilities.
He came to coach, and he went to work personally, not just to be an ordinary head coach. His goal, or ambition is more appropriate... just to challenge the status of the best coach in NBA history.
At least, he must be ranked among the presidents in the world of head coaches.
Now it seems that Cole is just a crazy rookie coach who doesn't know the heights of the world, but in the original time and space, few people would think so. This guy's locker room control and on-field tactical settings are closely integrated, and this alone
, he is qualified to become some of the strongest players currently in the NBA.
Not to mention his creation of a pure shooter as the team's core system, which can be said to be an unprecedented initiative.
From this point of view, Cole has pride and arrogance in his heart. It is not out of thin air. He is a pure shooter from the outside to build a team. This is unique in history. He broke some conventions. This alone makes him worthy of being considered.
Remembered by history.
The rest days passed very quickly. After these days, the team's fatigue from the previous period has also eased a lot. However, there will be no such relaxing days again. Until they win the playoffs or are eliminated,
It will be an increasingly stressful time.
Bosh is still receiving blood thinning treatment, and his return date has not yet been determined. In addition, Randall also underwent surgery. If Tang Qian had not persuaded the management to sign Robert Covington with a minimum salary of four years, they would not have been able to do it at all.
In the 4th position, he will be beaten and blown away every time. The emergence of Covington has greatly made up for this problem. At least defensively, he not only did not make the Lakers' overall defense weaker, but actually
Becoming stronger than before.
But the scoring is not as good as Bosh. There is nothing you can do about it. After all, you are just a player with a minimum salary. Can you ask for more?
This period of time is also the time for winter vacation and Spring Festival in China, but Tang Qian has no way to go back. This makes Tang's mother always "complain" on the phone, claiming that she has seen Tang Qian more often on TV than in real life.
Duo. Well, there's really nothing wrong with it. Since Tang Qian joined the NBA, Tianchao Sports Channel has become a 24-hour almost 24-hour TV channel in Tang Qian's home. This period also happens to be the All-Star Weekend in the United States, plus
She went crazy on AND1 company’s advertisements, and Mrs. Tang’s words were not groundless.
After comforting his mother on the phone, Tang Qian began to prepare for the second half of the competition.
But in the first game after the All-Star Weekend, the Lakers lost inexplicably. The opponent used an unexpected tactic in this game, similar to "Tianji Horse Racing". Brook Lopez, who had just returned from injury, was placed on the bench.
He played the 4th position on the bench. In this way, when Covington was away, the Lakers' 4th position was completely defeated by Lopez. At this time, it was already too late to replace Covington, because
The opponent's touch is open, and secondly, Lopez's offensive end is quite powerful and quite solid. This is completely different from his defensive end and rebounding end. Except for the first year of his career, he basically averages close to 20 points per game.
The data is enough to prove that he is very stable and powerful on the offensive end.
Besides, on the offensive end, he is not the popular spatial or athletic inside man. After Yao Ming, he is a real low-post attacker at the 5th position. With solid basic skills and a 7-foot frame, if he wants to play from behind, he will at least pass the test.
Vinton struggles defensively.
In this game, Lopez, who was a substitute, actually scored 28 points. His outstanding performance disrupted the Lakers' defense. In the end, the Lakers lost the game 105-114. The 4-game winning streak was ended.
The game record became 43 wins and 11 losses. However, the Lakers defeated the Boston Celtics, whose record was a mess, two days later. The Celtics traded away the last 2008 championship core this season, and he went to the Mavericks.
Rondo, the meaning is very obvious, completely rebuild without leaving anything behind.
As a result, Boston played completely disorganized, and the Lakers scored 129 points. In the end, they scored 18 points and took away the game with a big score of 44 wins and 11 losses. But in the next game, the Lakers lost again.
They lost to the Utah Jazz at home in Plateau. They had 44 wins and 12 losses, a losing streak. The game they finally won turned into a loss again.
Two days later, they lost to the Bucks by 2 points again! 44 wins and 13 losses, 2 consecutive losses! From the end of the All-Star Weekend to now, the Lakers' game record is 1 win and 3 losses. Tang Qian's latest MVP ranking is also from the past
Three fell out of the top six.
His record during this period is too poor. His statistics may be good, but this is not enough.
If you can't win just by brushing up on statistics, what's the point?
After losing to the Bucks, the entire Lakers team was left behind. Tang Qian needed to sort out and sort out the poor record during this period, which was always the reason for the loss. In the end, after multiple data and combinations
After combined analysis, Tang Qian and the others discovered some problems that they had not noticed before. For example, the place where the team loses the most points is the substitute time at position 4.
D'Antoni glanced at this problem, but he didn't come up with a solution or solution in his mind.
After all, the Lakers' No. 4 position is a position that has suffered a serious decline. Even if they add Robert Covington, it will only be a temporary top to prevent him from being beaten every time. It's a pity that Covington
No matter how strong Dun is, he is still a person. In fact, excluding last year's bullshit "34-minute rookie season", this season is his real league debut. So he still needs to learn and improve and adapt to many things. For example,
He has not yet been able to adjust and distribute this physical fitness. A game can only last for 27 to 28 minutes at most. This shows that Covington's physical fitness is an urgent problem. Furthermore, his defensive mode has also been criticized.
Gradually, research has focused on it, so when it comes to defending, it will be a lot harder for him to be caught in front.
If he can't break through this "rookie wall", he will soon be knocked back to his original form.
In this way, there is still a big hidden danger in the 4th position. It must be strengthened a little before the free market is completely closed. It may be better than nothing, but it is always better than watching and doing nothing. At this time, the Cavaliers came
The news that the team signed Carlos Boozer, a one-year veteran with a minimum salary, joined the Cleveland Cavaliers. When joining, Boozer was a little bit mocking about his former team, the Los Angeles Lakers. He said he would
Let the team that looked down on him regret it in the playoffs.
Bonnie Laughlin felt a little frustrated. In any case, they took the initiative to give up Boozer, and the latter's scoring ability has always been what the Lakers wanted. Besides, it was only a basic salary, and it was not necessary to sign him.
Unfortunately, giving it to the Cavaliers is equivalent to changing the direction to improve their scoring ability.
So 48 hours before the free market was about to close, changes occurred within the Lakers.
Tang Qian was given a list of No. 4 positions in the free market, and wanted to let him choose as an alternative if Bosh and Randall were not available. Unexpectedly, Tang Qian looked down along the way and found one of the people he liked.
No. Also, the big fish have already settled in the offseason. If you look for it at this time, where else can you find any good stuff? They are all mediocre and can no longer be mediocre. Signing in has little meaning, but is a waste.
Team salary cap.
…
Not long after, the budget came down, with a maximum of 2 million to 3 million a year. There is no need for more. After all, it is a super-cap team, and it doesn’t mean that we don’t care about spending money generously. And with a price as low as 2 to 3 million,
The better ones all think too highly of themselves and don't bother to pay attention to you. So it's really not possible to find them just by looking for them.
Besides, at this level, there are really not many free agents at the No. 4 position. Most of the roster is made up of European players, American players and players in the NBDL.
Tang Qian took the roster of No. 4 in the free market and thought about it for a long time. He thought it was just a waste of brain cells, but unexpectedly, he actually thought of someone in his mind.
But, does he still have this spirit now? This was not ten years ago.
But when there are no people in the free market and funds are not abundant, this idea is actually not completely whimsical and not feasible. Moreover, let alone 2 to 3 million, the basic salary is probably acceptable to him.
.
As long as he typed it out, Tang Qian thought it would be a good thing.
He was not suitable for this league in the past, but now? What about the current league when small ball is becoming popular?
As a super cheap contract, no one will say anything if it can't be won.
How about giving him a chance? At least a chance to prove himself? This will be good for the future... isn't it?
Thinking of this, Tang Qian put down the useless No. 4 roster, opened his mobile phone address book, and then clicked on a mobile phone number. After a closer look, this phone number was not Lakers deputy general manager Bonnie.
.Who is Laughlin?
After the call was connected, Tang Qian took a slight breath, and then said: "Hello madam, I have an idea about the temporary reinforcement candidate for the team's No. 4 position, and I would like to recommend someone."
PS: Thank you for being one of the top 10 people. I follow the same steps as Sui DaDa, Da Zi, Da Feng Sheng Long, and former handsome guy Zheng Yi. Thank you all for your monthly ticket. Xiao Zi thanks you all~ An update has arrived~ Who will it be? You can guess.
