Chapter 1197 Little brother and brother haven't exerted their strength yet, it will explode tomorrow~
By the way, this 76ers team broke the losing streak previously held by three teams. The first was the losing streak set by the NFL team Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1976-1977. Who was the second?
Well, the camera turns to the NBA. The Cleveland Cavaliers won this honor. Who is it for the third time? Well, the winner is the 76ers themselves, who set the record in the 13-14 season. They have currently lost 28 games in a row.
, has not won a game since March of last season. Tang Qian made it very clear in the locker room: Send them a 29-game losing streak and let the people of Philadelphia continue to refresh the record of this North American sports league.
Also, if we lose the game, the whole team will stay and practice extra, and there will be no rest time until we win.
The locker room was filled with "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh", but due to Tang Qian's "power", no one dared to say anything. They could only silently hold their breath and prepare to defeat the 76ers tonight.
Larry Brown feels that Tang Qian is right at all. If the worst team in the league, or even the worst team in the history of the entire North American sports league, can't win, then it's nothing. If we lose this game,
You deserve to practice more. No need to discuss.
Even if Tang Qian didn't mention it, he would still say it.
This game is the best chance to end the losing streak.
The game will be held at the home of the 76ers, Wachovia Center.
The attendance rate is very low. There is nothing we can do about it. They have lost too much in recent years and have set a shameful record of losing streaks. No one wants to watch the home team lose like this, so they simply turn a blind eye and don't come to watch.
Football. What’s interesting is that during this period, some NCAA players made remarks, saying that their school team could defeat the 76ers! What a speechless statement. Even if it was a "crazy statement", it would have been nothing before.
No. Isn't it just that the 76ers were so weak during this period that they were so underestimated? Would they dare to say that to any other team? Coincidentally, "Big Mouth" Barkley also expressed his opinion at this time.
Opinion: Villanova can beat the 76ers!
So this is the current situation of this team. Not many of their players, including their players, feel they can win.
Okafor, he just wants his data to be better, win, or defeat the Lakers. He has not thought about it that way. However, he is very confident in his own strength and believes that he should be the league's No. 1 player in the future.
A candidate for one person. And so far, his statistics in the NBA are indeed decent, averaging about 18+7+1+1 per game. In the first year, he is still an inside player and can indeed bear the "potential"
"Insider" title.
Including Tang Qian, everyone still wanted to praise his opponent.
Tang Qian is now a fifth-year student, the league's number one center, with many honors in hand. He has long since changed from the position of challenger to being challenged. If a newcomer wants to rise to the top, it is the fastest to take action on him. Every year in the NBA
So many people come in. How many of them are not the proud ones from college, the so-called college stars? They are arrogant and arrogant, and it is normal to feel that they are arrogant. And this is the United States, and individualism is rampant. If you don't knock them down,
He won't be convinced.
And since he is the "challenge master", Tang Qian basically accepts all comers.
In official competitions, he welcomes anyone to challenge himself.
The NBA was originally a process of challenging and being challenged. The old and the new alternated, and the strong came to power. He himself also experienced this.
Therefore, after all, he is still looking forward to this star insider who can average "18+7+1+1" per game this season. In particular, this guy is still a rare traditional center and is not a space type.
Center, this also made Tang Qian feel even more eager to see this guy's true strength. Of course, lessons must be learned, and this "fine tradition" cannot be thrown away.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it mean that these newbies would look down upon themselves?
As he started to warm up, Tang Qian looked at the guy on the other side and found that this guy was indeed in good shape. He weighed 275 pounds in his first year. This momentum was really strong. Maybe he should be more serious tonight to avoid capsizing?
The greater the expectations...
"Hey~ Hot~ are you ready? I will launch the strongest impact on you! You have to remember me, my name is Jahir Okafor." Europe and the United States really like to announce their full names.
, if you look at many movies and works, you will know that this is something they think is very honorable. Tang Qian and he had a heated exchange of words before the game. If he was a talented player, he would not be disrespectful on the court: "Okay.
, I remember your name, let me see what you are capable of, Okafor."
"Let me see if you are really what you said, you have never been afraid of anyone on the court."
"Don't worry. You will know. It's hot." Okafor also said confidently.
An insider who can score this number in his first season is indeed pretty good in this era. It's normal for him to be a little arrogant.
After all, this is an era of declining insiders.
Don't be too demanding. Tang Qian's statistics in his first season were only 4.9 points, 12.5 blocks, 4.1 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.2. The game officially started, and both sides arranged their lineups: Lakers Tang Qian + Bosh + Ariza + Bart
LeBron James + Rondo. Philadelphia 76ers Nerlens Noel + Jerami Grant + Jahlil Okafor + Isiah Cannan + Jacquard Thompson.
To be honest, with this lineup, most of Tang Qian doesn't seem to have any star status. Even except for Okafor, the confidence on the faces of the others is almost gone. With such a lineup, it's no wonder that they can't play every game until now.
It has never won. No wonder it has created such an embarrassing record in North American sports history.
The worst starting lineup in the NBA this season has to be the Philadelphia 76ers. Except for Okafor, none of the others scored in double figures. I don't know how this head coach survived. It's so miserable.
Okafor also tried his best to jump during the scrimmage, but this is not the NCAA, and his scrimmage skills have no highlights at all.
Not to mention Tang Qian, he can't compete with many ordinary NBA players.
The bullet speed is not good enough.
This is Tang Qian's first evaluation of this guy.
What can I say about the 76ers? They are really a mess. Except for Okafor, none of these people may be qualified as starters. The Lakers played a bit conservatively on the first goal and missed the shot, but the shot did not go in at all.
It’s not that the 76ers defend well, it’s just that Ariza didn’t make the shot when the opportunity came. On the offensive end, the opponent has no system. At most, they only play a few simple coordination, and then there is a mess of personal "kite flying" and persistence from the outside.
Ball singles.
Playing like this and still being in the NBA, it is unreasonable not to lose.
If you fail in the 29th game, give it to them.
The 76ers failed in their first three shots. The Lakers' defense was actually not that explosive, but it still prevented them from staggering on their shot breakthroughs. The Lakers' Butler broke through, easily came in, and succeeded in a one-handed dunk. All of a sudden
, which opened up the Lakers' firepower box. Everyone was smart. They followed Butler's example and played more breakthroughs. Not only did they have a high shooting rate, but they also had a large degree of free throw protection. Really, the Lakers players suddenly became
He became a master of singles. Butler singled out Jerami Grant. Bosh singled out Nerlens. Noel Ariza singled out Jacques Thompson. Rondo also singled out Isiah Cannan.
This is exactly the rhythm of a "Bullfighting Contest".
Of course, it's not possible to play like this in normal times. The head coach has already called a timeout and cursed, but tonight, Larry Brown was "embarrassed" to interrupt it. Because the hit rate is also very high when playing this way, and the more he plays, the more he vents his anger.
Excited, the defensive end also got up. It was as if he was venting his losing streak some time ago. Seeing this, Larry Brown stopped talking, and he was not going to interfere, because he knew very well after being the head coach for so many years.
.Everyone needs an outlet to vent. The consecutive defeats they suffered some time ago were not only pressure on their record, but also pressure from the outside world. Therefore, the 76ers happen to be a super weak team. Everyone vents, fights, and goes it alone.
It's pretty good to work alone. Larry Brown is not stupid. As Qian Sheng's coach and the NBA's first double championship coach, he knows very well when to relax appropriately and not to control too much.
However, all of this must be based on winning. If you lose, being decisive will not work.
There is no easy explanation for this truth. The NBA is a business league and a competitive sports league. Winning or losing is actually everything.
If you can win, you can cover up all problems.
Since everyone was having a good time playing and venting, Larry Brown didn't bother to interrupt.
There's nothing wrong with indulgence once in a while.
As long as it's generally controllable.
This makes Tang Qian a little embarrassed. Everyone is playing so excitedly and enthusiastically, so what are you doing? From the beginning of the first quarter to now, Tang Qian has never touched the ball on the offensive end. This group of people also played
You are so selfless, you only care about playing by yourself, and you almost forget about your big brother.
Angry! Angry!
It's one thing to slander Tang Qian, but it's another thing to observe on the court. Through these rounds, Tang Qian discovered another problem with Okafor, which is that on the defensive end, he is too bad and too bad. Especially in protecting the basket.
, as a big man with a height of 211cm and a tonnage of 275 pounds, he can protect the basket so poorly, what else can be said? If the overall defense can be scored, then Tang Qian must give him a failing grade.
Tang Qian's judgment was very accurate, because Okafor was given up by the 76ers in the next few years and gradually marginalized. A big problem is that his defense is a mess. He can't even keep up with his defensive awareness. He switches from supplementary defense to assisting defense.
Not to mention, there are basically no such people. If the defensive end is not strengthened, his path in the NBA will not be easy.
Ariza stole the pass from the 76ers, went down alone, and formed a 2-on-1 with Butler. Finally, he passed the ball to Butler and scored a layup.
The Lakers are a team that emphasizes defense and slow pace. They played very fast and defensively tonight. How do you think this 76ers team plays? There is no worse team in NBA history than they are now.
.Otherwise, this most shameful record in the history of North American sports will not happen to them.
Okay, okay, you all have fun, go to the defensive end first to make your presence felt. You guys are such bastards, forget about me when you have milk. Tang Qian complained,
But he didn't interrupt, because during this period he also felt that the team was under a lot of pressure, and everyone was not very happy, so it was okay to vent. And he was not the kind of person who wanted to brush up data and take over everything.
You could see it last season. But... you have to give me some fun in the second quarter.
Otherwise, it would be too unloyal, wouldn’t it? What if we agreed to share the blessings and share the hardships?
Okafor was also speechless. The team was defeated in the first quarter. Look, the Lakers have already scored almost 18 points. What about his side? 0 points! He hasn’t broken the egg yet! He felt that he
It’s time to stand up and do something!
After all, you are the future boss of the team, right?
Future boss? The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel, Sao Nian. It’s better not to think so much.
When Tang Qian saw Okafor asking for the ball, he didn't overly defend or interfere. He just wanted to see what this guy, who was known as the "number one offensive pacer in college," was really capable of.
"Little Duncan"? I'm looking forward to it.
When the Lakers saw this, they also had a tacit understanding and did not go over to defend or help. They just watched each other and waited for the result.
This makes it clear that Okafor and Tang Qian are duel in a one-on-one attack and defense.
"Dongfang Tang, I'm here." Okafor was very confident. It seemed that he was having a smooth life ahead of him.
Unfortunately, there is Towns in the paint this year, which has overshadowed his shine a lot.
But Tang Qian hasn't met Tang Si yet, because when he played against the Timberwolves, he happened to be still suspended. He missed it.
Tang Qian suddenly said: "I wonder how you compare to Towns?" This sentence made Okafor a little crazy, and said: "I won't be worse than him!!!" Tang Qian was stunned.
I don’t know why the latter had such a big reaction. He just asked casually. But after thinking about it for a while, he got the general idea. It was probably that Towns played too well and put a lot of pressure on Okafor. I remember the most
When the draft began, Okafor was once the favorite to be the No. 1 pick.
"Okay. Let's give it a try." Tang Qian didn't waste any time and stood under the basket waiting for the opponent to attack.
Okafor sneered and felt happy when he saw No. 29 making such a big deal. If he could have an advantage in the duel with the league's No. 1 center, then tomorrow's front page would be his own. He lost.
, it doesn’t matter. With this idea, Okafor started to attack. He held the ball with one hand while facing the basket in a low position, and made a continuous shaking. The connection was very smooth and deceptive.
Well, good low-post moves, finally something to watch. Tang Qian "appreciated" while defending.
Okafor said: Hey~ He's pretty calm~ It seems like the current number one center in the league is quite capable.
But you will also fall under my footsteps!
Continuous small changes of knees and swaying. This technical move is really good. Many NBA players today may not be able to do it, let alone be so smooth, but it still did not make No. 29 Tang Qian have any slight fluctuations in his figure. Even
The center of gravity didn't seem to swing at all. This made Okafor a little confused, because he didn't know how to judge the opponent's trajectory.
Did he not see that he couldn't keep up or did he see it and think he could defend it? Okafor thought for a while and prepared to attack directly. He switched his focus and stepped out smoothly. Combined with his previous footwork, it was indeed very beautiful.
But as soon as he took a sudden step, his vision went dark, and he almost didn't dribble the ball out of his hand.
"Good pace, but not enough. It's too little to score in front of me. More?" Tang Qian's "encouraging" smile did not make Okafor feel any warmth. He only felt that he was looked down upon.
, so he retreated, regrouped, and continued to fight. This made many fans very excited, because this kind of confrontation is what many people want. Otherwise, it would be fast breaks and counterattacks, and shooting from beginning to end.
How much meaning can it have to be for the Lord? Some people like it, but there are definitely some people who don’t.
Some people began to cheer for Okafor, thinking that he was courageous and worthy of encouragement.
The 76ers' home court gradually started to hear Okafor's name.
Although Okafor is the team's top player at the moment, because his record is so poor, he rarely gets this kind of treatment at home, so his mood rises quite a bit. Looking at Tang Qian, it's like a monster has been activated in his body.
A continuous change of steps is really gorgeous, and then he changes sides and breaks through.
As a result, No. 29 stopped him again and said: "You should be faster, or you should be more deceptive in your actions."
Damn it, do I need you to teach me? My low post footwork is an innate talent.
Because Tang Qian didn't press forward at all, Okafor had enough time to adjust his body and continue fighting.
The change of center of gravity at the bottom line + sudden stop and start. To be honest, if he can complete the steps like this, he is really low among rookies. However, this is not enough. Tang Qian only let him take a few steps.
The bottom line blocked and said: "There is almost no time. You have one last chance to attack in this round."
"You don't need to remind me!" Okafor was really angry. He showed off his state. This was also a low-post move that made him famous in college and summer leagues. He changed his footing with the pivot foot. This move
The ball was very deceptive, and it looked like he had switched to a pivot foot, but he still couldn't get rid of Tang Qian with the ball. He had no time, so he could only force the shot, and Tang Qian slapped him on the head.
At the end of 24 seconds, the Lakers serve.
"It's okay. Let's continue later. I won't let you miss the ball. Don't worry."
Damn it! Didn’t you just guard one of my goals? Are you so awesome???
I will definitely use my perfect low-post moves to convince you later!!!
If Tang Qian could hear Okafor's thoughts, he would definitely laugh out loud and say:
Little brother, brother, I haven't used more than half of my strength yet.
Otherwise, how many times do you think you could have fought like that just now?
I've already worn you out.
But it doesn't matter, a legendary "Rookie Abuse Story" officially recorded by the NBA, starting tonight, has been added to Tang Qian's story.
And he gradually gained a title, called: Vegetable Abuse Maniac.
This is normal. When it comes to torturing rookies, his model, Dashuai Zhang, is one of the most famous in NBA history.
He can't be too far behind.
PS: Here comes the big chapter. Tomorrow is next month. Xiaozi will have a wave of attacks tomorrow. I hope everyone will support it~
