On February 14, 2012, Valentine's Day in the West, Staples Center was fully prepared for the holiday. Rose balloons filled the entire Staples Center. Today the Lakers played against the Atlanta Hawks. Don't look at it.
Atlanta has always been an underdog in the league, but so far in the schedule, the Atlanta Hawks' 18 wins and 10 losses are better than the Los Angeles Lakers' 16 wins and 12 losses. So the Lakers have no reason to underestimate their opponent.
In the end, Kobe Bryant decided to play with injuries because the team had finally defeated the Toronto Raptors and now was not the time to stop. Although the injury to his right index finger would definitely have an impact on him, as long as he was still standing on the court
If it goes up, the threat to Atlanta will not weaken, and the containment ability cannot be compared with other members of the Lakers.
"We must win this game tonight! Then let the team break into the top three in the Western Conference as soon as possible!" Kobe assigned tasks to the soldiers while they were still warming up.
"Understood, Kobe, the Atlanta Hawks, I don't care about charity, world, and peace yet!" Ci Shiping bulged his arm muscles.
"Don't worry, Kobe, I will try my best." These words were said by the Spaniard.
As for the nunnery master, he said nothing. Looking at his face, there was still lingering anger lingering around him.
However, he also discussed with Troy Murphy that as long as he played at the same time as Tang Qian, he would try not to pass the ball to the latter and weaken the latter's statistics by weakening the ball. As a "ten-day player"
"What is the most needed thing? Of course it is statistics. Because only if the statistics pass the test, will they have the possibility to stay in the NBA!
Both the nunnery owner and Murphy knew this, so it was not unusual for them to resort to tricks.
Normally, Tang Qian might not care, but tonight, he was a little confused.
For no other reason than that, his "secret weapon" is temporarily unavailable.
According to the explanation given to him by "Different Space", once the off-site card is used, no more ability cards can be used within 72 hours. This means that starting from last night, Tang Qian's ability cards have been temporarily sealed
.
This is simply a huge piece of bad news.
Originally, Tang Qian wanted to use ability cards to pretend to be B and shock the Lakers management, but now it seems that this wish cannot be realized for the time being.
After 72 hours, Tang Qian calculated, not only tonight, but also the next game was included.
This means that during these 72 hours, he can only rely on himself.
Atlanta Hawks, substitute inside players, Eric Dampier, height 211cm, weight 265 pounds, Vladimir Radmanovic, height 208cm, weight 227 pounds. This is the opponent Tang Qian may face tonight.
Speaking of Eric Dampier, everyone may be familiar with it. The "Wild Talker" in the Yao Ming era once called himself the second center in the Western Conference, second only to "Shaq" O'Neal. The meaning between the lines is you Yao
Which dish does Ming deserve? But what is the reality? In the first round of the 2005 Western Conference playoffs, the Rockets played against the Mavericks. Throughout the series, he scored 6.3 points and 6 rebounds, but what about his opponent Yao Ming?
21.4 points, 7.7 rebounds. Even if we put aside this series, the two have played against each other 19 times in total. Yao Ming averaged 19.9 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 2 blocks per game, while Dampier averaged 6.4 points and 6 blocks per game.
Rebounds, 1.3 blocks. This kind of data comparison, not to mention the explosion, is all about looking at the opponent. But now Eric Dampier is getting old. By the 2011-2012 season, he had averaged only
He scored 0.1 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 0.3 blocks, and as soon as this season ended, he chose to retire. As for Vladimir Radmanovic, he was a member of the bench for most of his career.
In the 2011-2012 season, he also dropped to averaging 4.5 points and 2.9 rebounds per game.
Although he felt a little irritated, the appearance of a figure still attracted Tang Qian's attention.
He is Tracy McGrady, the former league scoring leader and Rockets Red No. 1.
Tang Qian has a lot of feelings for this black man with a somewhat "slender" figure. He is one of his favorite NBA athletes besides the Black Mamba. Unfortunately, he began to decline in the 2009-10 season.
Howe's scoring ability has declined sharply, and his scoring average in the season has never exceeded single digits. After moving to Atlanta, his pride has long been gone, let alone the core. Now he can't even sit still in the team's starting lineup.
, his average playing time per game this season was 16.1, which fell to the lowest point in his career, not even comparable to his rookie season.
"Mr. McGrady, can I have an autograph from you?" Just as McGrady was warming up by shooting, an English speaker with a slight Oriental accent asked.
McGrady turned around with a slightly surprised look on his face. The beginning and end of NBA games are the time for players from both sides to communicate with each other. A few years ago, when he was still "in the prime of his life", he heard this kind of question a lot. Because
Many young players, their idols, have played in the NBA, so it is common for them to get excited after seeing it in person and ask for an autograph. Even McGrady did the same to "Penny" Hardaway during his rookie season.
Live the same thing. Because this is not only feelings, but also respect for idols.
"yoo~ Are you sure you are looking for me?" McGrady now has lost his former arrogance and said with a gentle attitude.
"Of course, Mr. Tracy McGrady, I'm just looking for you, that's right." Tang Qian nodded and said seriously.
"Haha~ It's rare that young NBA players still come to me for autographs. What's your name? Which country in the East are you from?" McGrady walked to the technical table, took a piece of paper and pen, and asked while writing.
road.
"My name is Tang Qian, sir. I'm from China." Tang Qian replied.
"China? It's Yao's country, right? Well, it's hot~money~, and it's indeed a convoluted name." After McGrady finished writing, he handed his signature to Tang Qian and said: "Has another Chinese finally landed in the league?
Come on, little guy, may you shine like Yao!"
"Thank you, sir." Tang Qian responded with a respectful nod.
This is just a small episode, the match between the two teams will begin soon.
The starting lineup for the Los Angeles Lakers is, as usual, Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum, Derek Fisher, and Charity.World.Peace Metta.
The Atlanta Hawks' starters are Jeff Teague, Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, Marvin Williams, and Zaza Pachulia.
At the beginning of the game, Pau Gasol hit the inside, causing a foul on Josh Smith of the Atlanta Hawks. The Spaniard may have just started the game and his hands were not yet warm, so he only made 1 free throw and had 1 left.
But the rebound was grabbed by Kobe Bryant. Kobe Bryant's 17-foot jump shot was short of power and almost didn't even touch the net.
This is definitely an abnormal behavior.
Kobe's shot foreshadowed his shooting trend throughout the game.
It seems that the injury to his right index finger yesterday still has a great impact on him.
The Hawks grabbed the rebound, and then Jeff Teague dribbled the ball. Although Jeff Teague is not tall and is even a little short in the NBA, he is still a first-round pick. He is characterized by three-pointers and three-pointers.
He is a mid-range shooter and has strong jumping ability. Even though he is only 188cm tall, he can still perform violent slam dunks and forced dunks. However, he also has a fatal flaw, that is, he is too sticky to the ball and can easily get trapped in the opponent's double-team.
, and this person’s organizational skills are average, he is slow to release the ball when passing, and his ability to find teammates is mediocre. In 33.1 minutes of playing time this season, he only has 4.9 assists and less than 5 assists. This is for a leading defender.
, it’s really a bit shabby.
Jeff Teague's opponent is the "Old Fish" Fisher, which has to be said to be a bit of a gift. The "Old Fish", who has already lost his arms and legs, is completely unable to defend Jeff, who was born in 1988.
Teague, the former was almost a disguised figure, and he passed him cleanly. Gasol saw his opponent rushing into the Lakers' interior, and immediately rushed over to cover up the defense. Even though he was older than the nunnery, he had the awareness to cover up the defense.
, completely destroyed several streets in the monastery. Of course, it is precisely because of this that the Spaniard always becomes the "background emperor" and is repeatedly detained. Unfortunately, when he came up today, Jeff Teague was very clear-headed, so he faced Paul.
In Gasol's defense, he did not choose to be stronger. Instead, he slowed down with his right foot, held the ball and threw it. The orange basketball floated high in the Lakers' interior.
Then came Josh Smith's personal show, catching the ball with both hands and dunking in the air!
Bang!!!
The scene is exciting and flamboyant!
alley-oop!
Throughout the first quarter, the Atlanta Hawks were almost overwhelming the Lakers. Of course, Kobe's 1-for-6 shooting also had to bear a large part of the responsibility. But fortunately, Kobe was attentive enough on the defensive end to let his opponent, Joe Johnson,
They were also in an embarrassing situation. All five shots missed and they didn't score a single point for the entire quarter.
However, Joe Johnson's effect on Atlanta was obviously not as great as Kobe's on the Lakers. Therefore, at the end of the first quarter, the Los Angeles Lakers were temporarily behind 24-27.
"Bryant, how is your injury? Is it okay?" Mike Brown said as soon as he got off the field.
"It's okay, I'm just not used to it yet. Just wait until you get used to it." Kobe was not arrogant when he said this. During his two consecutive championships, he played with an injured finger and his competitive state was not affected at all.
"Well, it's fine." After Mike Brown said that, he turned to Pau Gasol and said: "Paul, you took too many shots in the first quarter. Remember to compress it in the next quarter and give more."
Andrew passed the ball under the basket."
"Well, okay, I understand." Pau Gasol's eyes darkened and he nodded.
"Hmph, we should have arranged tactics like this a long time ago! Who in the team except me has a 100% shooting rate? No one! So the only way to win this game is to pass the ball to me.
Let me score!!!" The nunnery owner saw it and immediately jumped out and said.
The nunnery owner is indeed confident to say this tonight, because compared to Pau Gasol's 4-for-9 shooting and Kobe's 1-for-6 shooting, he only made 3-for-3 without missing a single shot. Plus 2 free throws, he made all the shots in one go.
Score 8 points, which is very unpleasant.
This stupid black guy! If it weren’t for the sake of winning and winning percentage, I wouldn’t let him play the main attack! It really makes me sick when I see his face!
Seeing the nunnery owner's arrogant attitude, Mike Brown secretly cursed in his heart.
In the second quarter of the game, Anzhu continued to show off his power, shooting 3 of 4 from the field and scoring another 6 points with a 75% shooting rate. Unfortunately, the performance of the rest of the Lakers was still sluggish. Kobe Bryant made 0 of 4 shots, and the Spaniard was even worse, with 0 of 5 shots.
, and swallowed "zero eggs" with Kobe.
Fortunately, the Hawks also felt unstable. The team only hit 7 of 22 shots, and their 31.8% shooting rate was only slightly higher than the Los Angeles Lakers' 1.8%.
At the end of the entire first half, no one in the starting lineup, except Anzhu, shot over 35%. Among them, Kobe Bryant was the most miserable. He only made 10 of 10 shots and his 10% shooting rate was embarrassing.
Halfway through the third quarter, the Lakers called a timeout because the team's only offensive strength tonight, Anzhu, also experienced a rapid decline in touch. He made 0 of 3 shots, which was his score within 6 minutes.
, no rebounds, no assists, and no blocks.
"Andrew, come down and take a rest first. You've exhausted your physical strength too much." Mike Brown is also a coach of the year. He still has this basic vision. And the owner of the nunnery has a very bad habit.
, that is, once the offensive end is not going well, it will directly affect the defensive end. No defensive data was recorded within 6 minutes, which is reflected. Although Paul Gasol also had a poor touch and made 0 of 2 shots, he still managed to grab it.
Didn't he get 6 rebounds? After all, he had 2 assists, didn't he? After all, did he block a shot? Just the efficiency of these 6 minutes, the Spaniard completely destroyed the host without any discussion.
But the game was still going on. In order to restore Andrew Bynum's physical strength, Mike Brown had no choice but to replace him first and then send him on to the court in preparation for the fourth quarter.
"What? You want to replace me? Why? My hand just slipped, it's not that I have no physical strength!" Upon hearing that Mike Brown was about to replace himself, the nunnery owner said reluctantly.
You have physical strength? It’s weird that you have physical strength! Do you think I’m blind?
After hearing what the nunnery master said, Mike Brown rolled his eyes in his heart.
In fact, the nunnery master's body cannot bear such a heavy weight, so since he gained weight, his health has always been a "major concern" for the Lakers. The "Zen Master" realized this very early, and he saw it very early
Due to this problem, Anzhu's usage time has been compressed to less than 30 minutes. Even in the extremely important playoffs, Anzhu's average playing time per game only exceeded 30 minutes in one season, reaching the value of 32.
Even so, his body still couldn't bear it, and the red light kept coming on. But Mike Brown didn't have such a vision. In order to pursue the winning rate, he straightened up the nunnery as soon as he took office, and his average playing time per game instantly broke the charts.
It has opened the door to the 35-minute level. And averaging 35 minutes per game is a threshold for a center. Once this time is exceeded, the physical fitness will immediately be compromised and decline rapidly. For example, Yao Ming, such as Sabonis, this is the case.
For an All-Star center, this is the limit of the body. If you can break it, then you will become a historical star, or even a superstar.
Can you imagine Tuyao averaging more than 35 minutes per game? Or even more? But unfortunately, Yao Ming has played in the NBA for 8 seasons, and only reached this standard in one season, and then he was greeted by continuous injuries.
.Looking at the historical giant centers, O'Neal's 19-year NBA career averaged more than 35 minutes per game 11 times. "Big Dream" Olajuwon, in his 18-year NBA career, actually had 14
More than 35 minutes per season! Looking at David Robinson, he has exceeded this number half of the time in 14 years. Not to mention "Lord of the Rings" Russell and "Dashuai Zhang" Chamberlain, these two "prehistoric beasts"
"The patience, perseverance, and endurance are beyond imagination. The former has an average playing time of 42.3 minutes in his 13-year NBA career, and the latter is even more fierce, with an average playing time of 45.8, which is simply unbelievable. And the two of them,
In his career, his playing time has never fallen below the 40 mark. This can no longer be described as "Diao"! It can only be said to be "Diao. Explosive"!!!
It's a pity that the nunnery master's heart is as high as the sky and his life is as thin as paper. His body is destined to be unable to bear his desires.
Once it exceeds 35 minutes, it is the moment when his body collapses.
However, the sad thing is that he himself does not have this understanding, and will only keep squeezing, overdrawing, and extracting.
"Andrew, it's still early for the decisive game. You don't need to be too anxious. I will send you on the field when the time is right. Don't worry." After Mike Brown finished speaking, he turned and looked at the bench, just as he was about to call Troy.
When Murphy's name was called, a voice suddenly sounded in advance: "Coach Brown, I think I'll let Tong play."
When Mike Brown heard this, he turned his head.
