This was said quite domineeringly, and received mixed reviews in the United States, but was applauded domestically.

In the past, those compliments were mainly forced ones. The players themselves were not strong enough, so anyone with a discerning eye would know that they were embarrassed and could not trick themselves into self-hypnosis. But now that there is such a strong person and he is a compatriot, wouldn't it be a waste if you don't brag?

You should brag about it. This is the second MVP ranking, and this is the first Chinese in NBA history who may win the regular season MVP trophy. Real fans, who can't be excited?

Looking at the Internet, a large number of Lakers fans and Tang Qian fans are swiping the screen. Countless posts with 6666666 and domineering posts appear on post bars and forums. The emotions in China have been suppressed for too long. After Yao Ming

, there are many people trying to land in the NBA, but no one can really stand firm. In addition, it is now the "dark period" of the national men's basketball team, and they have not won a single international competition. How do you want the fans to not feel depressed?

Therefore, they need to explode and vent.

Now the Lakers No. 29 has become this kind of outlet, and too many people have begun to cheer for him.

James had a dark look on his face. After all, as the other party said, which one of him can compare to the latter in terms of record and data?

The Lakers' current record is second only to the Warriors, and Tang Qian's statistics are better than James's, including the so-called "advanced statistics" that ESPN likes to quote. The same is true. Tang Qian's advantages in rebounding and blocking shots make him completely suppressed.

They are all blinding in all major high-end data. In fact, you can slowly find that since Tang Qian began to rise, fewer and fewer James fans have begun to mention efficiency values ​​​​on the Internet. Even if they want to mention it, they will not

I will consciously add a prefix called: No. 1 outside line PER.

Why? This situation should have taken some time to occur.

Why advance?

The reason is Tang Qian, whose efficiency is off the charts and makes everyone breathless.

This is also normal. Why did Zhang Dashuai's highest efficiency value back then be "only" 31.8, which ranked first in history in a single season? Isn't it because he greatly suffered from the fact that NBA officials at that time did not count blocks? Although the data already exists,

On-site statisticians and sideline reporters will record it, and even the TV broadcast will print it out, but NBA officials just don't calculate it. This is really bad luck.

Otherwise, with his sky-high shot-blocking numbers, his efficiency value will teach everyone how to behave.

No matter you are Jordan or James.

Including the playoffs, it will scare the shit out of you.

Because in PER, blocks are heavily weighted, which is why Tang Qian can dominate the league.

The higher your multiplier is compared to the league's average shot blocking level, the greater your weight will be in this aspect.

How much better than the league average is Tang Qian now? Does the league average 1 cap per game?

In terms of blocks, he can beat John Hansen, who is fifth, with 2.0 times, more than three times. What is the league average?

So since Tang Qian was born, James no longer talks about PER all the time, and if he wants to mention it, he also adds a prefix. Especially in China, if you say James PER is amazing, someone will immediately tell Tang Qian

Qian is a bit taller than him.

Being hit all the time like this, naturally there is no interest in bragging about PER every day. Even on the Internet, some people began to call for the game to return to reality and talk less about high-end data. This made many Tang Mi dumbfounded.

Why, now do we know that the so-called artificially created high-level data formulas are no longer easy to use? They are no longer scientific? We have to return to reality? Why haven’t I seen you say this before? Everyone knows the reason, and there is no

What a joke.

On March 24th, US time, the Lakers played against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

In this game, Westbrook returned, but everyone on the scene predicted that the Lakers would win.

Because the Thunder have basically fallen out of the playoff ranks this year.

But Westbrook has found a new direction. After the All-Star Game, except for the few games he missed, basically if you look at the data, all he has is a quasi-triple-double! This is a bit scary! And it is obviously still...

It means that the more you brush, the more you feel and the rhythm becomes.

Before the game, Westbrook took the initiative to talk to Tang Qian and said: "Thank you for your advice~ I feel that my goals in playing have become much clearer recently."

"Haha~ Russell, you are exaggerating. Do you want to average a triple-double per game and challenge the miracle of the Big O?" Tang Qian could swear to God that he just said this casually.

, but he seemed to have touched some nerve switches on the opponent and said: "Fang, if I do it, will the league be scared to death?" "I don't know if it will scare you to death, but I will definitely give you an MVP.

Just for fun, after all, he is averaging a triple-double per game. This is so scary. If you ask me, I can’t help but give you a vote."

"Really? It seems really difficult to average a triple-double per game." Westbrook muttered to himself: "But it doesn't seem like it..."

Tang Qian's words were tantamount to burying a big hole for himself in the future, but he didn't know it now.

The so-called "you will not survive if you do it yourself", this "retribution in this world" will only make Tang Qian so angry that he almost vomits blood in the future.

But the game is a game, and Westbrook does not care about relationships or feelings when he plays. This has nothing to do with his playing style, this is his character. This is exactly what Tang Qian meant, off the court and off the court, on the court,

There are no friends, only rivals, only enemies.

Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Because there is no "constraint" from Durant, Westbrook is the absolute leader of the Thunder this season. Looking at the data, he ranks first in the scoring list, averaging close to 29 points per game. It is estimated that if he continues to play at the pace after the All-Star Game, he will score 29 points.

The average per game is stable. This is obviously higher than his average score per game in the original time and space. It is probably because Tang Qian, a little butterfly, helped him press a few switches.

Anyway, this season, his condition has become even stronger after the All-Star Game.

However, it is not so easy for him to score against the Lakers. After all, his "Turtle Impact" will be greatly weakened or even greatly restricted under the basket guarded by the Lakers No. 29. Westbrook felt this last season. However,

Now that Durant is gone, he is the team's No. 1 player and he has the obligation to step up and score.

But the situation was not good. Westbrook made 0 of 5 shots in the first quarter. If he hadn't scored 4 points on free throws, he would have lost the game in this quarter.

However, it is still similar to the previous game. The Thunder made a change in defensive marking inside, with Ibaka guarding Tang Qian and Enes Kanter focusing on the 4th position. Covington still had a difficult time at this point.

, because Kanter is a 260+ pound man with the ability to post up. Covington is almost 50 pounds lighter than him, which is an absolute disadvantage.

Even if Kanter's physical fitness is not as good as that of Tang Qian, he still plays well in the face of such a huge tonnage difference.

When Tang Qian came on the court, he scored 8 points. When Tang Qian came off the court at the end of the first quarter, Kanter scored another 7 points. He scored a total of 15 points and 10 rebounds in a single quarter!!! Tang Qian

After coming off the court, he seemed to have transformed into a Tyrannosaurus Rex, and his offensive state brought out other aspects of him. Kanter was the hero of the Thunder in this quarter. Westbrook also used him to get 5 assists in a single quarter.

Although he only scored 4 points, he had 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 rebounds, which is pretty good.

In the second quarter, D'Antoni asked Yi Jianlian to play and cooperate with Thackeray to guard the inside. The effect can only be said to be average. In the last game, Yi Jianlian had a bit of an explosion and was able to hold off his opponent. In this situation, he would not be able to do it again.

He has done it every time. After all, Kanter has reached the peak of his career this season. After coming to the Thunder, he averaged close to 19 points per game. Without some hard power, he couldn't do it. Yi Jianlian can only say that he was defensive in this game.

It's quite satisfactory. I can't say it's good, nor can I say it's too bad. At least with his hard work, the effect is still slightly better than when Robert Covington defended. Because Tang Qian was absent, his defensive ability inside was extremely declining, and with the addition of substitutes

The perimeter defense of the lineup is also very average, so D'Antoni simply decided to increase his offensive investment during this period, and the defense is meaningful, so as not to miss anyone.

This also allowed the Lakers to gain some points during the bench time, preventing the score difference from becoming too large.

After Tang Qian returned in the second half of the second quarter, the Lakers launched a wave of outside attacks and made 3 of 5 three-pointers. Among them, Tang Qian's offensive rebound was crucial. It was precisely because of this rebound that

After passing the ball, Meeks had a chance to hit a three-pointer.

This is also a go-ahead goal.

The Lakers regained the lead.

Westbrook didn't rest long before he came back on the field. It can be seen that he really wanted to compete with Tang Qian in this game.

However, except for two mid-range shots, most of his attempts to hit the paint ended without success.

Fortunately, Thunder head coach Scott Brooks still had a few tricks up his sleeve. After all, he was the man who won the Best Coach of the Year award. He made a bolder attempt and let Ibaka focus on the offense in the following time.

Since last season, Ibaka has been no longer a pure blue-collar player. An average of 15+ per game is considered a threshold, but is it too far to deal with the Lakers' No. 29 like this? Now Tang Qian is playing well in the league.

The reputation has come, especially on the defensive end. No NBA player dares to say that he is not ruthless in defense. If Ibaka is the main offense... he won't be turned into a pig's head by the opponent, right? Westbrook is very worried about this problem. It's not that he looks down on Ibaka.

Baka, we just have to deal with the current Tang Qian. You don't average 25+ per game. If you are not a first-class scorer, then you are talking nonsense.

Aren’t so many people learning from past mistakes?

Furthermore, even if you are a first-class scorer, if you attack the Lakers' interior guarded by No. 29, you will lose more and win less, and you will not get any benefits. On this point, James Wade, Cousins, Davis, etc., inside and outside

All lines have instances.

Is Mr. Scott Brooks crazy?

But what happened next made Westbrook look at the head coach with admiration.

The person who can win the best coach is indeed absolutely capable, at least he is not the kind of transitional head coach of a weak team who is just messing around.

Tianchao Sports Channel.

"After the timeout, the Thunder chose... to let Ibaka attack? What does this mean? Is it a bait? Director Zhang?" Meteor Rain was a little stunned when he saw this, because he felt that this scene was a bit "nonsense."

.It’s impossible that the opponent’s head coach doesn’t know that the Lakers’ No. 29 is great on the defensive end, right? Then let Ibaka come? Isn’t that going to death?

"Well... this..." Zhang Weiping didn't seem to expect that the Thunder would arrange it like this, and seemed a little unexpected: "It's probably just a starting point. This may be some kind of tactical cooperation from the Thunder.

"

It's a tactic, but it does allow Ibaka to attack.

Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Tang Qian is also puzzled, because this is a bit "nervous" no matter how bad he is. No matter how bad his condition is, he has no pressure to guard Ibaka. He averages 14 to 15 points per game.

Attacking in front of someone is not delivering food?

Before Ibaka came on the court, Scott Brooks patted his arm, which obviously meant to encourage the former.

This seems a bit weird even more.

When Ibaka saw that the entire Lakers team felt that he was a clown and a fool, he also had the urge to prove himself. Also, wasn't it just for now that he had been preparing his killer move for so long? Dongfang
