Chapter 1041 Want to compare? Then just remember not to cry.
Andre Drummond, known as "Dragon God", joined the NBA as a third-year student in 2012.
The biggest position and dream of my career so far is to become the league's first blue-collar player.
He does have this talent. This guy is a very strong rebounder. He could get 13+ rebounds in his sophomore year. This is really not easy. And in the future, he is also worthy of stepping into the threshold of a super rebounder.
It's possible to average 16+ rebounds per game. If you can't do it, you can only say that you are an excellent rebounder, but you can't afford the title of super rebounder.
In the original time and space, there have been no super rebounders since Rodman. There has never been anyone who averaged 16+ rebounds per game. In this time and space, except for Tang Qian, no one can do it. But this young man, he has this
He has potential. Moreover, tonight is another game in which he is in explosive condition. In this game of the original time and space, he also scored more than 20+ rebounds, and in the original time and space, no one knows about his explosive engine. In this time and space, he has a clean sweep.
Chu.
He said it himself.
It's because of the Lakers' No. 29.
As soon as he stepped onto the court, Andre Drummond approached Tang Qian and said: "Dongfang Tang! I told you last time! I will definitely beat you in the next game! I will not lose to you.
!I am the number one blue-collar worker in this league!" Tang Qian's tone and attitude were not as kind as the last time he treated him. He looked at the former and said coldly: "Do you think you can do it?"
This attitude also made Drummond angry. He scratched his neck and retorted in a rough voice: "Do you think I can't do it?"
"Then try it."
"This is bullshit! I'm going to challenge you! Challenge your rebounding!!!"
When Tang Qian heard this, he had a cold smile on his face. You only challenge rebounding? You are really a rebounding idiot.
But tonight, don't even think about winning. I'm not the kind of person who'll give in.
No matter whether you challenge for rebounds, blocks, or points, I will accept any challenge from the inside. If you dare to come, I will accept it.
Yi Jianlian watched this scene on the bench and said silently in his heart: Tang Qian's pressure is really great. How long have he been here? He has already seen so many people want to challenge him. It seems that any position
It’s not easy to be a leader.
Countless people want to pull you down.
This pressure... I feel sweaty just thinking about it.
Yes, Yi Jianlian was right. This is the price for Tang Qian to become the league's number one center.
Since he overturned the top five centers announced by ESPN at the beginning of the season, with his stable performance, the title of the league's number one center has begun to be crowned on his head more and more. In this way, other people's ideas and goals
That's changed. Anyone who wants this position wants to compete with the Lakers' No. 29.
Winning a lot of attention and praise.
They are not unknown street ball players or low-level league players. Since they are NBA players, they have such qualifications and opportunities. Pull down Tang Qian and get a huge amount of applause in an instant.
This kind of thing can be called a shortcut. Anyone who has a certain degree of confidence and confidence in himself will not want to try it.
After all, don't forget, this is the NBA, the holy land of basketball's highest palace.
However, this is never a paradise. Survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle are the eternal main themes of this place.
If you want to stand up, you have to accept the challenge. If you want to go higher, you have to continue to challenge. Unless you become the strongest in history, there is no time to stop.
Therefore, this position is not easy to sit in. Yi Jianlian even felt that if it were him, he would probably be unable to sleep and suffer from insomnia frequently.
Scramble.
Tang Qian undoubtedly won the victory, and then Jeremy Lin raised his hand and threw a three-pointer. The Lakers temporarily took the lead 3-0. This style of play is now a fixed procedure, and the Lakers as a whole
There was no plan to retreat or prepare to return to defense at the beginning. In almost every game, they attacked the first ball in order to get the "first blood" of the game.
Turning to the offense, the Pistons' offense is very poor. The team's average shooting percentage is very poor, the average is 41~42%, and most of the time it is below 40%. Let's put it this way, such a team is all about shooting from the outside.
For those who are more determined, so far this season, apart from Joel Anthony, who averages 1.3 shots per game in the paint, there is only one Jonas Jerebko who comes off the bench and averages 4.3 shots per game on the outside. The rest have a decent shooting percentage.
No one has a shooting rate of 44%. To put it simply, half of this team's shooting rate is below 41%. The shooting rate of more than 30% is quite a lot. With such outside firepower, it is not an independent offense.
With the type of ability, playing like this is enough. Therefore, this team's interior offense is a guarantee of hit rate.
Monroe and Andre Drummond are the only players in the main lineup who can shoot around 50%.
It’s not surprising that a team like this has a bad record, but it’s surprising that it’s doing well.
And such a team happened to be suppressed by Tang Qian.
Greg Monroe averages 15+ per game this season, and Andre Drummond averages 13+ per game. These two people are not even second-rate scorers, but they still want to play in the inside guarded by Tang Qian? That is not a dream.
What is it? Unless both of them explode, he will pinch whoever is in good condition. Neither of these two has made any mid-range shots this season. Tang Qian is ready to "shoot" tonight.
The anger caused by that Fox Sports die-hard James also urgently needed a breakthrough and an outlet.
Kentavious Pope missed a shot, and the basketball bounced off the rim and was a low rebound. Most people on the Lakers thought that Tang Qian had determined the ball, and they subconsciously prepared to press forward from all fronts and launch a defensive counterattack.
But this ball was forcibly caught by No. 0 of the Detroit Pistons, Andre Drummond. He took a shot from the basket and was interfered by Tang Qian. Then he actually got another offensive rebound. Then he continued to be brutal.
The hit resulted in a defensive foul on the Lakers' 29th.
After Drummond saw that he had committed a foul, he actually roared and glanced at Tang Qian fiercely, as if he had truly become a rebounding master. This scene made Lakers on-site commentator Bill McDonough stunned.
He said aloud: "Zhuang Shen is provoking the tyrant Fang. He has a good personality, which is different from the amiable feeling now. Although I support Fang, I also like him."
"Okay, let's see how our tyrant Fang responds." Stu Lantz also said.
Swish~ Drummond made 2 of 2 free throws.
Jeremy Lin wanted to come over and say "it's okay", but saw Lakers No. 29 lowering his head and smiling slowly: "Is it another outbreak? It's interesting. Tonight, it's just right. Otherwise, I would feel a little embarrassed if you start bullying me.
.”
"Tonight, I'm going to vent my heart out." After saying that, Tang Qian closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was a layer of blood red on the edges of his pupils. This made Jeremy Lin a little bit nervous.
He was lost in thought, but when he looked over again, it was as if nothing had happened.
Tang Qian walked to the opponent Drummond and suddenly said: "Hey, you want to compete with me in blue-collar ability, right? You want to compete with me in rebounding, right? Okay, then let's start having fun.
Bar."
Jeremy Lin passed the ball in, but Tang Qian threw it directly, saying: "Fire from outside, give it to me less."
Huh? What's going on? This season, Tang Qian has been holding the ball and facing the basket in singles a lot of the time. This has become a fixed attack method of the Los Angeles Lakers. But the boss said so, he can only do it, one
After a simple pick-and-roll, he passed the ball to Ariza in the corner. Ariza shot a three-pointer but missed, and the basketball flew high.
"Protect the rebound!" shouted the Pistons perimeter player.
"Don't worry, I'm in good shape tonight, I'll come!" Drummond, the "Goddess Zhuang," also felt his strong desire tonight, so he shouted very loudly.
"You're coming? What are you coming for? What are you bringing?" A voice rang in his ear, and then with lightning speed, he reversed the position and easily got the offensive rebound.
Got robbed? Damn it! Don’t even think about a second attack at the basket!
The Eastern giant in front of him seemed to have read the opponent's thoughts. While passing the ball, he opened his mouth and said: "Don't worry, I won't attack tonight. As you wish, you can just grab rebounds with me." Lakers
The team hit a mid-range goal from the outside. Los Angeles continued to maintain its lead.
The Pistons also threw one in. Monroe's size and offensive skills are very good in the low post. He will be eliminated by the Pistons and squeezed out by Drummond in the future. It is entirely because of his poor defense, poor attitude, and poor footwork.
, and because of the weight gain in the offseason, he has become even slower. After all, someone who can maintain agility and mobility while gaining weight is an extraordinary talent.
If you are like "Dragon God", he can maintain a large tonnage while also ensuring good flexibility and mobility. This talent is something that even Monroe can't catch up with. Before his body declines, "Dragon God" can
This kind of person can dominate a certain aspect of the interior by relying on his body. For example, rebounding.
But again, because of Covington's height and weight issues, he can defend the athletic and space-oriented No. 4 position. However, he seems to be unable to defend the real inside attack point that is proficient in low post skills every time.
Insufficient strength.
His defensive strengths tend to be on the outside. The inside can only be used as a panacea once in a while. In long-term matchups, his disadvantages are obvious.
Originally, Yi Jianlian thought this was another hard nut to crack, like the grizzly bear above, but things developed extremely suddenly.
Even abrupt.
Because the way things are going is...
The Lakers started their one-man show on the 29th, and it was nothing more than grabbing rebounds.
If one person grabs it, he also wants low-post rebounds in the backcourt, and he also wants low-post rebounds in the frontcourt.
At this rate, all the players on the scene were stunned.
Because it's too fierce.
Check out the live commentary from Staples Center:
"Jimmy missed the shot and got the offensive rebound."
"Prince missed a three-pointer and got a defensive rebound."
"Jeremy Lin missed a layup, and the low rebound was taken away. There was no offense? He passed the ball to the outside, and Meeks made a three-pointer and hit it."
"Monroe didn't score the ball. The force was a little off. The low basket...oh, it was protected."
"I shot from the outside, missed, and got the offensive rebound again??? Still no offense, I gave the outside shot, but the shot was interfered by the Pistons player who threw it out, missed, and got the rebound, but I still got the rebound.
?This, this is his first rebound tonight??? Passed the ball, three-pointer, hit the three-pointer."
This is the result of most of the low-post rebounds that were not made. Let’s not talk about the high-post rebounds that were made. On the low-post rebounds, Tang Qian was simply. How do you say that sentence? Oh, by the way, abuse.
Board!!!
On Tianchao Sports, our Weiping Don Bryant couldn't help but said excitedly: "Look at this game, look at this rebound, how solid the blocking position is, and how smooth the counter blocking position is.
, what an accurate judgment, domestic players should learn more. Oh wow, this is another rebound, Drummond must be filled with regrets now."
On the webcast room.
What Zhuang Shen? Just watch me, Datang Ji, beat me.
You are laughing, and you still want to compete with Emperor Tang Ji for rebounds? Are you self-hypnotizing?
Abuse of the boards! Tonight’s game was a rebound tragedy.
I estimate that if this continues, Zhuang Shen will be driven crazy with anger. It’s too miserable, too miserable.
Tang Dynasty is so domineering! You have a rebound in your mouth, right? Then I will compete with you on the rebound tonight! This is really exciting!
Tsk~ Tang was afraid of being blocked, so he didn't dare to take action, so he passed the blame to his teammates. For such a bad player, you still think he is awesome.
Go away, your home team was led by Emperor Tang Ji to double-kill this season, don't go out and be sore, go home and stay safe. It's not too late to end hibernation after winning the game.
Not to mention anything else, our "Dragon God" Andre Drummond is not "fearful of being mad" but "already mad". He clearly felt that he was in a very bad state tonight.
Okay, it’s much stronger than usual, and it should be a challenge. But now, what is this? I only got 3 rebounds, but what about the opponent? It’s already 15!
The first quarter hasn't even ended yet.
Damn it! Are you kidding me? I don’t believe it! I don’t believe he will be in so much better condition than me tonight!!!
Andre Drummond yelled in his heart and started fighting hard, but this had no effect on the subsequent development of the plot. They continued to suppress, continue to beat, and continued to abuse him.
basketball.
Whether it was offensive rebounds or defensive rebounds, they were all smashed into pieces by the opponent.
The head coach of the Pistons is the famous Stan Van Gundy. He once coached the top players in Warcraft, so he thinks he has good experience in dealing with teams built by centers. But tonight, he was completely slapped
For a moment.
The tasks assigned before the game were completely useless and completely turned into rubbish.
Because the Lakers don't have any tactics tonight, and it's not a run-and-gun system. They just shoot from the outside and grab rebounds inside. Yes, it's such a simple mechanical tactic that can't be simpler. This kind of
Low-level tactics are difficult to survive in any professional league, and may only be valuable on the wild court. Because there are too many loopholes and cracking methods, but tonight, Van Gundy couldn't find any solution.
Moreover, because of his own pride, he imagined that Tang Qian's state would not last long, so he never adopted the strategy of blocking multiple people to protect the rebounds. In the end, Detroit lost completely and entered garbage time very early.
Tang Qian got 18 rebounds in the first quarter, which already tied the single-quarter rebound record between himself and Warriors legend Nate Thurmond. It was also the second time Tang Qian did this in the regular season.
The Lakers lead 41-29, with a score difference of 12 points.
Well, the score difference is 12 points, but it’s not completely wide, right? The Lakers’ No. 29 should be resting in the second quarter, so we can take advantage of this period to narrow the score difference or catch up. This is also now
Isn't it a routine used by the league to attack the Los Angeles Lakers inside? But tonight, they obviously did not follow common sense and continued in the second quarter!
All of a sudden, Stan Van Gundy's arrangement was disrupted again.
45% of the moderate rage lasts for 28 minutes. If you don’t get angry, how can you do it?
Don’t think that it’s just you who is out of shape tonight, brother, it’s the same, the state is just as explosive, and even more explosive than you!
When our Zhuang Shen saw that the Lakers continued to go up on the 29th, he was unambiguous and applied again to challenge him. In his opinion, if you were in good shape in the first quarter of the game, now, it’s the second quarter, it’s mine.
It's time for performance. After all, he is also a very strong player with good talent. When he is in good condition, it is only right and reasonable that he should do whatever he wants.
And he clearly felt that his condition tonight had been very good and did not fade away in a single quarter.
That's good, so it's my show time in the second quarter!
"Drummond" Andre Drummond thought so, but the game...
As soon as the game started, a rebound appeared. The former stuck it in the best position, and then reached out to grab the offensive rebound. Finally, it's my turn! Okay, watch my performance... uh...
...What is this? You, your sister!!!
Tang Qian had no position for this ball. He went to cover up the defense, so he didn't have time to get back to the basket at the first time. However, he still took the ball. He took the action of picking melons from the back of his head.
, completely relying on higher height and bullet speed to forcefully grab the rebound from Drummond's head.
This guy can do this? Zhuang Shen was shocked, because this ball was a ball that he seemed to have no chance at all.
This is the benefit of Fury. The 45% increase has reached Tang Qian now, making him almost invincible.
Even if a Drummond fights tooth and nail, it is impossible to defeat him.
What's more, his state tonight can challenge Tang Qian's normal state, not the kind that can overwhelm him.
So Tang Qian also exploded, so he could only, um, kneel down.
The rhythm started to look like the first quarter again. Tang Qian started to hit rebounds in the paint. In addition to high-post rebounds, he basically grabbed all the low-post rebounds. This method also made the Lakers' outside perimeter feel completely numb.
Easy, those shots gradually became 6's higher than the last one. By the second half of the second quarter, it had completely turned into a training shooting state.
The feel seems to be bad for everyone.
Jeremy Lin scored three points.
Meeks made a three-pointer.
Farmar scored three points.
Yi Jianlian, who came on the bench, was still stunned. Jeremy Lin couldn't help but push him and reminded him: "Yi, what are you waiting for? Go outside and shoot. If you don't want to shoot at this time, when will you shoot?"
"But rebounds..."
"Oh~ You are of no use here~ You pull out to shoot and let the opponent's No. 4 also go out. This will actually help the hot people a lot, right? So go out quickly, don't hesitate~ How do you say that sentence in Chinese?
Coming? Oh, by the way, there is no store like this after passing this village."
"Seize the opportunity to shoot and score. His rebounding was off the charts tonight."
