Tang Qian is really angry. He has been having a hard time recently because he lost 5 people, including 3 starters and 2 substitutes. The current lineup of the Lakers is ordinary enough. Center Tang Qian + power forward Randall + small forward
Forward Ariza + shooting guard Josh Smith + point guard Farmar. That's all that can be used. The rest must be ensured that the substitutes are in order. The Kings' lineup is DeMarcus Kao.
Hins + Rudy Gay + Quincy Ashe + Ben McLemore + Darren Collison.
With the Kings' record and being in the Western Conference, Tang Qian directly believes that they have no hope of entering the playoffs this season.
Note, there is none at all.
Cousins is known to have a fiery temper, and scolding the referee for ejection is nothing. There was a game in the original time when he was so offended that he went directly to the Warriors locker room to "beat up" Durant. And
He is still the kind of person who works alone. To a certain extent, he is really "barbaric". Tang Qian didn't dislike him in the past and thought there was nothing wrong with being passionate. The current NBA league is too obedient.
It's a bit too much, and it's not interesting. This guy doesn't wear a mask, which is quite interesting.
However, there is a problem. You can't take the initiative to cause trouble for me.
For example, this time Cousins complained about the All-Star voting and his own vote count, and mentioned it many times, which made Tang Qian "very unhappy". This is not hatred, but as the league's number one center, he must stand
Come out and teach this kind of opponent who dares to "mockery" yourself like this.
Otherwise, do you really think you are so awesome?
Cousins' statistics have indeed improved significantly this season, averaging almost 27+12+3+2+1 per game. He has successfully been promoted from a quasi-first-class scorer to a first-class scorer in the league. Therefore, he believes that he is now a top scorer.
He can challenge any insider in the alliance, including Tang Qian. At least he thinks he can take on Gang.
This is also a kind of "say what you have to say". Although from Tang Qian's point of view, it is quite unpleasant.
Tang Qian came up tonight and rarely said directly to Cousins:
Is your family coming tonight? I advise you to let them leave early, because you will be ravaged very badly later.
Cousins has a bad temper and a bad temper. In addition, this season he has also been upgraded to a 308-pound monster center. He is not afraid of the Lakers' No. 29 at all:
Stop talking nonsense, Dongfangtang! Do you think you have any advantage over me? What you said is exactly what I want to say to you!
Tonight, I am going to make you, the so-called number one center in the league, look disgraced and cry for your mother!
Tang Qian heard this and responded with a sneer:
Okay, I accept it. Even if you beg for mercy tonight, I won’t spare you.
Enjoy this wonderful time, cousin.
In fact, this nickname is not popular in the United States. It was only in 2017 that Cousins original time and space got the news of this nickname from the other side of the ocean when a Chinese reporter asked a question. At that time, Cousins was not polite and expressed that he was very unhappy.
He didn't like this nickname very much because he thought it was too girly and made him feel like a softie. So when Tang Qian called him that to his face, he immediately lost his temper and yelled something, but Tang Qian
Without listening again, he jumped up and won the ball. The Lakers made the first attack.
"You actually cheated? You cunning Oriental!" Cousins shouted at Tang Qian, which made Tang Qian only feel funny and said: "I still need to cheat you in the fight for the ball? Can you stop teasing me?"
You feel really good about yourself. If I give you 100 chances, can you beat me once?"
"You look down on me?" Cousins stared, looking scary.
"Yes. That's okay if you think so." Tang Qian said nonchalantly: "In terms of fighting for the ball, I just look down on you. What can you do?"
The Kings have a very good offense this season, averaging more than 106+ points per game. Their problem is defense. This season they have conceded an average of about 110 points per game! This is simply outrageous! How to say it? Comparatively, the league's No. 1
A bad team, the Philadelphia 76ers, who set a losing streak in the four major North American leagues, did not lose as many points as the Kings, only averaging about 107 points per game.
So... defense? The Kings, do they, have that?
Even though the defensive intensity of the Lakers' lineup has dropped a lot, the impact of the lineup has not declined at all, but has improved. For example, if you are Josh Smith, who has just turned 30 years and one month old, you are still Lan Lan of Mavericks.
Del, plus Ariza and Tang Qian, that is, Farmar has no impact. The other four are all very good. In this way, it may be easy to be defended against a strong defensive team, but the Kings, do they count?
Not counting. Therefore, the Lakers had a 10-2 scoring spurt from the beginning of this game.
Tang Qian couldn't help but said to Cousins: "Defense, buddy, defense. As the center of the team, don't you even have the ability to protect the basket? Oh, that's really half-disabled." Cousins said.
This kind of person's temper and IQ couldn't stand it, so he started yelling at Tang Qian, but Tang Qian didn't take it to heart at all.
The Kings' offense was also fast, and their head coach George Karl used a wing attack style. The Kings' Rudy Gay and Quincy Ashe had an effect, but the Lakers' mixed lineup did not cooperate well enough, and they were caught
He took advantage of the opportunity and scored several goals in a row. Although Rudy Gay was not good at defense and poor passing organization, he could score. This is a person who averages about 20 points per game all year round. Offensively
There is nothing to say about skills. If the Lakers were in the starting lineup now, they could still be tough. Butler would definitely not suffer against him. In addition, the team's tacit understanding is getting better and better, and there is a chance that Gay can be restrained.
possibility.
And it's not too small.
But now, this is no longer possible. First of all, Josh Smith is not as good as Butler on the defensive end. Furthermore, his team coordination with the main force is not good enough, which gives Rudy Gay an opportunity. But the Lakers
The team was not in a hurry, because the Kings' defense was really bad, and they scored just as easily. No, even more easily. In this way, the Lakers had the absolute upper hand.
Cousins didn't get the ball very much during this period, because Gay took a lot of shots, and the shooting rate during this period was not bad, so until now, Cousins still scored zero points. Tang Qian said with a smile: "Hey
"Didn't you say you wanted me to cry and call mommy? What? Is this how you made me call mommy?" "Why are you so anxious! Just wait for me, I'll beat you up right now!" Cousins is really easy to deceive.
,Alas, what a pity for his skills and body.
No wonder I haven't tasted the playoffs for so many years. It's really pitiful.
"Okay, come on then." Tang Qian said, looking very relaxed and calm.
The Kings were attacking, and as soon as Cousins passed half court, he shouted for the lane: "Give me! Give me the ball!"
Guy is actually feeling good during this period, so he is still a little "reluctant", but now Cousins of the Kings is the veritable number one player and the king of Sacramento. He has to give the ball. Otherwise, who will
Knowing that this violent temper will cause him to lose his temper in the locker room later. Although Gay is 201cm tall and weighs 230 pounds, he has a monster figure compared to ordinary people. Unfortunately, in front of Cousins, he is smaller.
Many laps.
Cousins this season is also when his body is at its largest, and his intimidation is amazing.
Going against him is not a good thing, and Gay has never been the kind of person who likes to argue. Otherwise, he would not only have the achievements he has now in the NBA. When he entered the NBA, his reputation was not low.
In his second season, he can score 20+6+2+1+1 per game. What kind of talent do you think he is?
It's just that he lacks ambition when it comes to playing basketball. The successor of McGrady back then, he has a 7-foot-3 wingspan and a 42-inch jump. These are all excellent physical talents for a swingman. However, this guy feels like he is just a basketball player.
Just working, clocking in and out, is a typical scene you can see. In addition, his morale is never high, he is just getting by, and he has earned so many dollars in his life. To be honest, Guy himself is quite satisfied.
In this case, what else can you say? There is nothing to say.
Gay passed the ball over, and even though he felt good now, he chose to "self-interrupt." Cousins got the ball, turned around and said face to face: "Dongfang Tang, I am going to challenge you this season and challenge you.
Yes, you should give up the position of the first center!" Yes, in the original time and space, Cousins was often ranked among the top three centers. His personal ability is still recognized as strong. This season
He himself has made a big breakthrough, and his scoring has reached the level of a first-class scorer. In addition, after the tonnage has increased significantly, his back and blocking position have also improved a lot. Under such circumstances, he thinks he can already challenge
The Lakers' No. 29.
The NBA is a place of challenge and being challenged. It is not surprising that he has this intention after becoming strong.
So he can sit in this position, while his teammate Rudy Gay has no talent and can only play as the second or even third player of each team.
"Okay, if you beat me, the position of the first center is yours."
Cousins started to attack, and he chose a face-to-basket attack. Cousins' breakthrough to the basket is the strongest inside line among the new generation players. Why do you say this? For example, in the original time and space for several consecutive seasons, Cousins
Si's breakthroughs to the basket are all ranked first among the insiders. This fully shows that his ability to face the basket is strong. With his tonnage this season, the significant increase in points per game is not sudden. But this move, against Tang Qian,
Not working.
From the moment he broke through, he was pressed tightly against Tang Qian, not giving any space at all. With the same tonnage of the behemoth center, Cousins' foot speed was still slower than that of Tang Qian. Coupled with Tang Qian's strength,
Due to his defensive ability, Cousins quickly reached a stalemate. In the end, there was no way, because he couldn't get any good opportunities, so Cousins could only force the ball and make a blind shot, and the basketball was a three-pointer.
"You're not very good at this either. Your breakthrough speed is too slow. Are you slow because you've gained weight?"
asshole!!!
Cousins returned to defense in frustration. The Kings rarely defended this ball, and the basketball fell into Tang Qian's hands. Tang Qian looked at Cousins, and suddenly grabbed the ball with one hand and changed his weight and footwork. Cousins was caught off guard.
, his center of gravity floated, and then he saw a purple-gold figure passing by him and hanging directly on the Kings' basket.
"How about my noodle basket? Is it better than yours?"
"Dongfang Fang! Don't be complacent! I just made a mistake!" Cousins roared.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you. The Lakers are in the low post. See you there." Tang Qian left happily. He was also luring Cousins into a low post duel. Cousins is worthy of being one of the most easily provoked players in the entire NBA.
First, if he was really fooled, he came over and hit him. But there was still no chance. Tang Qian was so close to him that he almost made a mistake when dribbling.
"Come on, is this all you can do?"
Cousins was about to force a shot when a voice called out to him. It was the team's No. 1 position asking for the ball and making a tactical gesture. When Cousins saw this tactic, he immediately accepted it and passed the ball.
When the ball goes out, everyone runs away from the low post.
"What? No more fighting?" Tang Qian said.
"Wait for me! Don't worry!" Cousins said angrily.
"Okay, I'm not in a hurry."
The Kings played a double-cut. The defender used the pick-and-roll to cut in, and then broke through. After the ball came in, Darren Collison just threw it back. Obviously, the breakthrough was just a cover. This is to let the team...
...The No. 5 center shot without the ball. With the Kings' team configuration, it is good to be able to do this. George Karl is worthy of being a famous coach. He saved Sacramento's offense, but this team's defense, he saved
No.
Cousins soared into the sky with a slightly ferocious look on his face. Although he didn't jump very high, he was a center. He was tall enough and his wingspan was long enough. He only needed enough impact to smash through everything in front of him. This was enough.
Recruit, there are not seven but six inside players who have been dunked by him this season. With his tonnage this season, he really seems to be invincible and unstoppable.
Seeing Tang Qian move over, he was not worried but rather happy and said:
Dongfangtang, take a bite of me!!! Let’s see if you’re still cool!!!
The Kings' home commentator also shouted loudly to stir up the atmosphere: "Cousins is like a big truck rushing at full speed. No one dares to block it." A big truck? It has some image, but no one dares to take it seriously.
Well, forget it. Tang Qian jumped up, and just as they were facing each other, their bodies collided in the air with a loud noise, which made the rest of the people under the basket feel a bit uncontrollably sour.
The two behemoth centers weighing 308 pounds each, fighting in the air like this is terrible. If I were among them, I'm afraid they would both be squeezed into meat pies.
"Cover, covered?? Covered!!! Dongfang Fang of the Lakers blocked the ball!!!" the Kings' home commentator said in disbelief. Don't talk about him, Cousins himself didn't dare to
I believe that I was blocked so simply.
This was his own downhill dunk! Is there any mistake? He blocked it from the front?
"You jumped too short." Tang Qian didn't forget to "make up for it" after landing, which made Cousins even more depressed and heartbroken.
The Lakers' offense was successful, but the Kings' defense was indeed vulnerable.
The worst in the league, is it true or not? If it weren't for their good offense, the 76ers would probably give up their last-place status.
The Kings missed a three-pointer, and the Lakers got a rebound, but when the ball was passed to wing Smith, Cousins ran out and stole it. This guy is quite active. He has nearly 1.5 steals in his career as a center.
This season he averaged 1.6 times per game, which is really good. He goes around to defend and wait for opportunities to steal. This is also one of his defensive moves.
After stealing the ball, he didn't pass the ball, he just took the ball and rushed. I believe this scene should be very familiar to those who watch the Kings a lot.
A one-stop fast break, and when approaching the free throw line, he begins to collect the ball, step forward, and launch an impact.
Tang Qian's return speed is also fast enough, mainly because this person is his defender, so his attention is naturally more concentrated than others. Because he is without the ball, his straight sprint also explodes.
Really, very quickly. When Cousins entered the three-point line, he was already neck and neck. When Cousins was about to start, he had already entered the effective defensive area.
It is impossible for Cousins to dodge this ball. The beast center brings him great tonnage and strength, but the control of inertia and body center of gravity has also become more difficult. With this ball, he has nothing but
To take a shot, you still have to take a shot. With this kind of almost full-court acceleration, defenders may not be able to stop easily, let alone Cousins. Of course, Cousins has no intention of stopping. He raised one leg when he shot the ball.
Kick it over.
He just wants to dunk this Oriental to relieve his anger!
Tang Qian saw what he was thinking and jumped up. Although he hit Cousins on the right knee, he didn't move at all. He raised his left hand high and slapped Cousins.
The ball in Si's hand.
There was a contest of strength between the two people in the air, but the result soon came out. Cousins was blocked by Tang Qiansheng, and he almost fell down when he landed on the ground.
"Oh my god, this kind of ball is so terrible. The Lakers' No. 29 has lost his cap. He is really unrivaled in the league in protecting the basket. If it were another person, who else could block this kind of ball?
"After Jerry Reynolds, the on-site commentator of the Kings, finished speaking, his partner said: "There is no one. DeMarcus has already completely rushed the ball. It is close to the acceleration of the whole court. I am afraid that Dwight is now.
Howard will be pushed away. I can only say that the Lakers' Dongfang Fang is too strong."
"His physical confrontation is obviously better than DeMarcus."
He didn't tell the truth in this sentence, because what he thought in his heart was that it would be much better.
Cousins is going crazy. He is going to beat his opponent in this game. Now, has he scored a goal? If this continues, tomorrow's newspapers will write about his tragic counterattack? He can't stand it, so
Continuous attacks began later, individual singles.
Cousins' dribbling ability is really incredible. Rondo said that Cousins has the heart of a defender.
Changing directions in front of the body, dribbling behind the back at high speeds, crossing steps, worshiping Buddha to break through, etc., etc., are all easy to grasp. No wonder he is so arrogant. Tang Qian really can't learn this trick. Tang Qian
He is a traditional center, not a new era center type like Cousins. However, he cannot dribble like this, but his foot speed and flexibility surpass the former. In this case, you will see
In the following scene, Cousins changed direction in front of his body and was guarded by Tang Qian. Cousins dribbled through from behind and was guarded by Tang Qian. Cousins made a test step + a feint step and was blocked by Tang Qian.
Guard against.
In this way, he is going crazy. This is the first time he has encountered a big insider who can completely keep up with his breakthrough and completely block his dribbling skills. Are he playing 2k? The opponent is a Hall of Fame breakthrough difficulty
?
"This is all you have? Do you have any more?"
After being trash-talked again, Cousins forced the ball for a layup, and then gave Tang Qian a spicy hot pot.
"As a center, why are you dribbling so much? The guards on your team are really unlucky." Tang Qian's words actually spoke to the heart of the Kings guard, but he was forced by Cousins in the past.
", not many people dare to reveal it.
There is only one ball. If your center plays like this, what should our guards do? This is a typical inability to perform their duties. Because it is impossible for guards to have the inside defensive ability and the offensive ability at the basket like Cousins.
Moreover, if the center plays like this, he will still miss the target. Once he is caught up, he will not have as many back-up moves as the defender.
But someone on the Kings team still gave Cousins some advice, asking him to change his attack mode and not always hit the basket for breakthroughs, because the Eastern center is too quick, and Cousins can't take any advantage. In this way, his breakthroughs
The advantage cannot be used. In this case, it is better to switch to a back attack.
This person is also kind-hearted. Cousins has greatly increased his tonnage this season and has become a member of the beast center. Playing with his back is also a way. Cousins thought it was good and immediately did so in the next attack, but
His back-up play simply couldn't hold up against that Oriental center. His powerful back-up play was a complete failure.
"Try your skills on the back, don't compete with him for strength DeMarcus."
Cousins also quickly changed his moves, starting to turn left and right, squeezing left and right, but Tang Qian's offensive feedback to him was... you went to the left and was blocked by me, and you went to the right and was blocked by me, what do you want?
He had to make a hard head to squeeze out space. Tang Qian's body was also eaten up. This season, he only needs a hard head to make the defensive players disperse. At least he can make the center of gravity unstable and the bottom plate loose, but the face
He didn't feel anything about the Lakers' No. 29.
It was as if all the things he was proud of this season no longer existed.
Cousins went berserk. He started pushing and turning like a wild bull. At times, it looked intimidating. But Tang Qian didn't take a step back. He simply relied on his body to resist, forcing him down.
.Have you ever seen the ball that Reagan, who is known as "CBA LeBron James", hit Thompson hard in the low post? No matter how he bumped and turned, or even waved his elbow, the opponent still didn't move half a centimeter. It was as if he was
I was fighting against the wall, and in the end I lost my center of gravity and balance.
Cousins roared, forced his shot, and watched his basketball being slapped down by No. 29 in the air. That gesture was so tough, as unbreakable as a city wall.
"You still want me to call you mom?" Tang Qian blocked the ball and said to Cousins, "Are you dreaming?"
"But I said before, I accept your challenge in this game, but you have no chance to beg for mercy."
"I won't spare you."
