I don’t know why this game was also scheduled to be broadcast nationwide. Under normal circumstances, the Rockets’ record should not be ranked as a national broadcast. But because the Rockets have many stars on the team, Harden is still the safest number one.
In the split position, Howard is also a strong center. In addition to his grievances with the Lakers, he still gave him a wave of "special care." It seems that T.N.T feels that many people will be willing to watch this kind of drama.
T.N.T TV station predicted well. Many people really want to watch this game. The Rockets have basically been "losing", "losing" and "losing" against the Lakers in recent years. They have not won for a long time.
After that, they met in the playoffs, and they were swept without any suspense, leaving the so-called "Demon Team" in disgrace and in a state of embarrassment.
Since there is a big gap in record between the two sides this season, we will use other aspects to attract attention. T.N.T was ingenious and used a short video of how the Lakers defeated the Rockets in the regular season and playoffs in the past two seasons. From the team
From data to player data, there are all kinds of data, which is dizzying. Among them, the matchup data between Howard and Tang Qian are the most eye-catching. Tang Qian basically beat the former. The most important data per game are close to 1.5 times that of Howard.
Some have even doubled. Therefore, after this data, T.N.T also made a naughty comment: As an Eastern saying goes, eat and sleep while playing World of Warcraft.
This time, including O'Neal, they all pressured Howard on his personal Twitter that he would lose, but he insisted that the Rockets might win.
This can be regarded as a different kind of "persistence".
But since O'Pang thinks so, few people in Howard think that he can still match Tang Qian. Looking back on the external evaluation of the two in the past few seasons, it has basically become one-sided. Howard has also begun to become aware of this issue.
He tried to avoid it, no longer like the previous seasons, talking unabashedly and clamoring about what he must do.
Some people say that Howard is cowarded, but actually, well, he is really cowarded. During this period, he was really frightened by Tang Qian, and he was ravaged almost every time he met him. It's not like he didn't
I tried to explode, but what happened last time? He clearly entered "The.Zone", but the result? The opponent still kept him hanging.
This, this, this, how can we play with this? Why don’t we let people play with it?
Faced with such continuous and absolute suppression, Howard gradually lost his temper and began to have a deep-rooted and long-lasting shadow on the Lakers' No. 29. This is really embarrassing. The former generation of "Peak Monster" was said to be "single-change"
James' men are now being squeezed out and somewhat marginalized in the Rockets.
The first center? He probably doesn’t dare to think like that anymore.
No matter how much ESPN and other four major media outlets dislike Tang Qian, can't they just put him first at the center position this season? This is what Kobe and Tang Qian said at the beginning, don't waste your time paying attention to the media, wait for you
When your strength is high, even if they don't like you, they still want to praise you and put you in the front. However, Kobe still suffered a loss in this aspect. The one who really took this trick to the extreme was Michael Jordan. Jordan was really very devoted to the media.
People with personality, before 1991, people who criticized him were about to become famous, but he won three consecutive championships, so these people could only bow their heads. Finally, they made a "gamble drama" and forced Jordan out of the league. He thought that one year
Later, the designation of not playing professional games was abolished. As a result, he returned as the king again, so all the media no longer had "complaints" about Jordan.
Therefore, what Kobe said is not impossible. Some people can pass it. It is not as many people imagine. You must follow the path of cooperating with the media and being a good baby in order to get better evaluations. It is just that it is more difficult, but the same
Yes, so that you can maintain more of your nature and your true heart. It depends on how you think about it.
Harden didn't dare to say anything about defeating the Lakers. He could only say that he would try his best on the scoring end tonight.
There is nothing wrong with this. Harden has averaged about 29+ points per game this season, second only to Curry and ranking second in the entire scoring list. This kind of scoring firepower per game is worthy of his current ranking as the league's top scorer.
At least it is much more stable than relying solely on the media's praise in previous seasons.
However, he is still going to nightclubs and is with Kardashian. His state is like a roller coaster, which makes Rockets fans feel heartbroken.
The real breakup with Kardashian is not now, it was in 2016. I don’t know what Harden thought. Anyway, Tang Qian didn’t even want to touch a toe of a woman from the Kardashian family.
He himself has had conflicts with various women in the Kardashian family, so he has never had any good impressions of people in this family.
There is something really wrong with this family. Before the battle with the Rockets, Khloe Kardashian posted a personal tweet of her own: My Rocket Hero, defeat the leader of Angel City. I will give you a big meal tonight.
!
This remark was also retweeted by his entire family, such as Kim Kardashian, Kelly Jenner, and even Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner, who had never met Tang Qian.
, although this family is considered "notorious" in the United States, it has to be admitted that it is still popular. Public opinion was quickly ignited, and celebrities who were related to them or had affairs with them all came forward to help speak out. This is not surprising,
The United States is a relatively free public opinion society. It is so common for celebrities and celebrities to fight against each other. It is so common that it is not surprising. Before Tang Qian could say anything, Taylor, who was still on a global tour, took the time to post on his personal Twitter
First of all, he counterattacked: You and I both know the difference between the nightclub Deng and the tyrant Tang on the basketball court.
There's nothing to say about this kind of thing, Tang, just beat your opponent tonight!
Well, American girls are simple and direct. Tang Qian is used to it now. Besides, he doesn't need to spoil her now. In terms of reputation, he is not particularly low in the United States now. So when he was interviewed, he
He replied calmly:
I know this is not necessarily Harden’s original intention, but now that he is Kardashian’s boyfriend, I will treat them as one. Having said that, I will continue, use Taylor’s Twitter
, there is nothing to say about this kind of thing. I will try my best to defeat my opponent tonight. Well, that’s it.
Harden was actually a little angry at first, because that was not his intention, but he didn't want to lose face. Going back to talk about his girlfriend was a private matter, and the surface still needed to be maintained. So he had to bite the bullet and intensify the situation.
this conflict.
Tang Qian actually felt that this was a helpless move by Harden, but I'm sorry, your partner is now a Kardashian.
If you can't control your woman's mouth, then you, the man, will be responsible for what she said.
Nick Yang asked mischievously next to Tang Qian: "Fang, what are you going to do tonight?" Tang Qian looked at his good-looking face and felt a little funny and angry: "You really like to see it.
It's lively, but they all said that, what else can I do? Not to play? To retreat? That's not my style, isn't it? Besides, as long as Dwight Howard is in Houston, I won't..." Tang Qian said
I stopped halfway through because it didn’t seem good to continue talking.
Eating, sleeping and playing World of Warcraft is not a lie.
"As long as Dwight Howard is in Houston, then what? Why are you half-talking? It's so hot~" Nick Young was a little aroused and began to ask questions hurriedly. Tang Qian shook his head and said half-truthfully: "
Because we, the Chinese center, are bound to explode when faced with a beast, you know?"
"Every beast will explode? Is it such an exaggeration?" Nick Yang obviously didn't believe it. He was not a child, so just shouting this kind of slogan would be enough. Isn't it really too silly? But since he didn't believe it, Tang Qian didn't bother to explain more.
Sometimes the truth is so "fake" and "unreal".
The game starts, Houston, Toyota Center, Rockets red, needless to say these things, domestic fans almost all know it, and they know it by heart. The Rockets' lineup is still Harden + Howard + Clint Capela + Patrick Bever
Leigh + Eric Gordon. Ty Lawson, who has high hopes this season, has become the team's sixth man because he is not compatible with Harden on the court. However, what is a bit unexpected is that even as a substitute
In the lineup, Ty Lawson is still not playing well. It seems that he and he have become two people in the Nuggets. The scoring data has deteriorated rapidly, from 15+ to 5+. This change is too big.
For people with more than 10 million US dollars, it is too expensive. We have not yet entered the "big premium era".
Thousands of substitutes are a bit worthless, and the data is still so bad. The Rockets regret it.
The same goes for Ty Lawson himself. He is in a contract year. If he doesn't play well this year, he will be scrapped for the rest of his life.
The NBA rarely gives you the opportunity to beat you several times, and it can completely knock you out in one go.
Besides, he's not a big star.
However, the signing of Eric Gordon is not bad. He is currently 28 years old and is in his prime years. He has averaged more than 20 points per game in two seasons of his career and exceeded 22 points per game in one season. He has spent time with the Pelicans.
Things didn't go so well. Now that he has come to the Rockets, he feels like he has regained his peak. But his best position is not the starting lineup. He is the interim head coach of the Rockets. Bickerstaff doesn't understand it yet.
Moreover, Gordon has suffered a lot of injuries in recent years. He had knee surgery in 2012, arthroscopic surgery on his left ankle in 2013, and a torn left shoulder last season. It was a bit overloaded for him to play in the starting lineup.
The Lakers' lineup is still the same, Tang Qian + Bosh + Ariza + Butler + Rondo.
The Lakers are now getting better and better together, and their cooperation is becoming more and more tacit. In Larry Brown's words, the chemical reaction has finally begun. Howard did not talk trash to Tang Qian this time, because he also
You know, people have to bow their heads under the roof. Now he and Tang Qian are gradually not on the same level in the same world.
Talking nonsense again is tantamount to humiliating yourself.
How many points has he scored this season? With statistics of 13+11+1+2, he only averages 8+ shots per game, a complete blue-collar player.
DeAndre Jordan of the Clippers has better statistics than him this season, with 13+14+1+2 statistics, and he only averaged 6+ shots per game to get this score, and his efficiency is also higher than Howard. Now, Howard is really
It's a bit like "the sunset is on the horizon". If his mentality has not completely changed and he accepts the blue-collar path, his future will be further hit.
Tang Qian is too lazy to talk nonsense with Howard now. They are no longer on the same level. If the other party doesn't mess with him, he has no interest in fighting with him any more. When the fight for the ball begins, Howard's physical fitness is indeed worse than when he was with the Lakers.
Point, last season he gained weight to 290+ pounds and then was reimbursed after playing more than 40 games, which is no different from the original time and space. This offseason, he has no choice but to lose weight and reduce his weight from 290+
The weight has dropped back to just over 280 pounds. He is still a heavy center, but compared to last season, his strength advantage has been reduced a lot.
This is especially true against Tang Qian, who is already 308.9 pounds.
Howard, who once claimed to have a "superhuman body," is no longer in such superhuman condition.
He is still very strong, but he wants to conquer the league just by relying on his body. That era has passed.
For the Rockets, Howard couldn't touch the ball during the entire game. It's not that blue-collar is better than blue-collar.
The Rockets also have no system to speak of because of the departure of their coach. If Harden doesn't give it to Howard, the rest of the team will follow suit. They would rather play by themselves than pass the ball to the inside. Of course, there is a reason for this. Who is called
Why is Howard's efficiency in the low post so low? If you keep failing to score, others naturally don't want to waste the ball, so why not just have fun yourself?
Anyway, changing coaches midway means basically giving up on this season, and everyone understands this tacitly.
The Rockets played very sloppily, and people said that McHale had a "failure to play system." But after he left and a temporary coach was replaced, you would understand what a real "failure to play" is. At the beginning of the Rockets
I just played a set of "outside throwing tactics". Well, this is a more catchy name. It is just a few useless fixed-point shots and mid-range cuts. You still want to gain the upper hand with such a stupid tactic? I don't know.
It's not that interim head coach Bickerstaff hasn't adapted to the position of head coach, or he simply doesn't have much prestige within the Rockets. No one really listens to his orders. The team's execution ability is poor, and the head coach is the only one left.
look on in despair.
Otherwise, what else can you say? The head coach can't take off his clothes and go on the court by himself. The league agrees, and the effect is zero, right? So, the Rockets just ran around absentmindedly for a few times, and after no chance, they resumed "beating around."
"Rhythm. Anyone who has a chance will shoot, regardless of the placement or the position of his teammates, just shoot. This way of playing, in the NBA, you think too much.
Unless there really is a collective explosion of hands, otherwise...
This is the current situation, being completely targeted by the Lakers, and collectively becoming a piece of shit.
The Lakers' shooting percentage is not low. Well, the main reason is that the Rockets' defense is so bad this season. The defense is not systematic, and there is no determination to defend alone. Except for Beverley, who is still defending desperately at the 1st position, everyone
He is playing soy defense. Not to mention that Howard's defense is not good, but he is not particularly outstanding. It can only be said to be quite satisfactory. Seeing that the Lakers are playing smoothly, the Rockets' interim head coach Bickerstaff is also impressed.
A tactical response was arranged, playing a 1-2-2 zone defense. There was no problem with the idea. The Lakers' outside touch was indeed average during this period, but well, if you can't stand up to the Rockets' defense, there is no spirit and tacit understanding.
In joint defense, the emphasis is on the word "joint". If you don't have a tacit understanding and don't pay attention, how can you join forces.
Therefore, this tactic did not have any effect at all. Instead, it was because it focused too much on the inside and low post and relaxed the defense of outside players. As a result, the Lakers made two consecutive three-pointers from outside.
Not to mention, Beverley's pass was intercepted. Rondo broke through, seemingly to challenge Howard's help defense. In fact, he just threw it away, and then saw a huge black shadow coming from the other side.
He came over, caught the ball with one hand, and dunked into the net.
Before the first quarter ended, the Lakers beat them 17-3.
This Rockets team is out of business this season.
Tang Qian thought like this after dunking into the basket.
