Starting from the second half of this game, Tang Qian completely strangled Cousins, leaving him with very little data. If Cousins seemed like a star player and challenger in the first half, Cousins in the second half
Si immediately turned into an ordinary player and a beaten person. The role change was so drastic that he himself found it a bit difficult to accept it.
"I will beat you up here! It's no use double-teaming you!" Tang Qian began to beat his opponent mercilessly, and the audience slowly started to boo, which made Cousins' mentality explode. He directly made two technical
He committed a foul and was expelled. One was against Tang Qian, and the other was when he was dissatisfied with the referee's decision, complained loudly, and then asked for trouble.
Tang Qian looked at the back of Cousins leaving angrily and said: "You are still too young. I look forward to your next challenge. You must be well prepared next time." These words made Cousins even more irritable. He even
He wanted to turn around and scold this Easterner, but when he thought of this guy's terrifying "record" and the absolute power he had just shown, Kaoshen chose to endure it for the time being.
I have no choice but to bear it. Why should I go up and stir up trouble and then be beaten in public?
Who in the entire league doesn't know how terrifying this Oriental center is with his fists and kicks? If Cousins dares to make a date with Durant, does he dare to come with Tang Qian? He doesn't dare. No matter whether he admits it or not, he doesn't dare. So.
, I can only endure Tang Qian’s spray.
Cousins made a move and Tang Qian returned to the basket. The game instantly lost suspense and was completely dominated by No. 29 offensively and defensively. Tang Qian scored 38 points in the game and 22 points in just 15 minutes in the second half. In addition, there were still more players in the game.
With 30 rebounds and 10 blocks, this game was undoubtedly the man of the match tonight.
When asked about Cousins' challenge, Tang Qian smiled and replied: He is not bad. I think he is one of the top three centers in the league.
First? Do you still need to ask? What do you think?
After a wave of rhetorical questions, he didn't answer directly, and directly entered the players' tunnel with the momentum of a winner.
The head coach of the Kings, George Karl, said bluntly at the post-game press conference that they actually played well in this game, and they also caused trouble for the Lakers for a time and saw the dawn of victory. But all of this was done by an Eastern center.
It's messed up. His performance tonight was like a prehistoric monster. What else can I say? I can only say that he is worthy of being the number one center in the league.
DeMarcus? I think he also performed well, but he needs to work harder.
This is an indirect admission that his disciples are not as good as Tang Qian.
Nonsense, your opponent has obtained the high-profile data and taken away the victory, so what else can you resist? You can only bow your head and admit defeat.
The Lakers defeated the Kings, stopped the losing streak, and returned to a record of 28 wins and 10 losses. During this period, the biggest discussion point in the American basketball circle was a comparison of the shooting heat maps of James and Kobe Jordan. Kobe took 09-09.
In the 2010 season, he was 31 years old. James was 31 years old this season. Jordan was almost 40 years old in the 2002-03 season. As a result, James's shooting heat map at 31 years old was not as good as that of Jordan at about 40 years old. Only a little bit at the basket.
This heat map was also a major point of contention for James in the original 15-16 season, because it was really ugly.
There is a very famous comment: Wow, LeBron's shooting hot zone map is almost the same as his hairline.
A famous joke in China is that James' shooting hot spot seems to be dominated by smog.
Many people believe that this is the year when James began to decline, including Tang Qian. Because James did not play well this season, and his long-range shooting percentage was horribly low. But this does not mean that he is really
It doesn't work. I guess not many people know that James actually practiced shooting in the original time and space.
At least that season, he did it.
In the Eastern Conference playoffs, he was awesome all the way.
But these were not reflected at all in the 15-16 season. Everyone felt that James was going downhill.
The next game is against the Thunder. This game is naturally broadcast live across the United States. Both teams are strong teams in the Western Conference with many stars and full of selling points. The Thunder currently lost to the Bulls in the previous game.
team, so they are now only half a game ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers. It is the same as the last time they faced off. This makes many people have more expectations for this game.
Durant hasn't said much yet. He is still trying his best to maintain his "good boy" persona, so it's just a perfunctory official statement. He really tore off his coat when he went to the Warriors. These words
I’m not blaming him, because this was not said by anyone else, but by Kevin Durant himself:
I was all pretending in Oklahoma, and the me you see now is the real me.
Okay, so the trolls should retreat on this point. These are Durant’s own words, and he sent it to the famous American reporter Broussard. What else can you say? After all, after so many years,
He seems to be getting farther and farther away from the championship, so he doesn't want to continue the obedient image of "Du Shubao".
He felt a little tired of "pretending".
It was Westbrook's "big brush" who was outspoken and said directly: We want to avenge the last time!
Westbrook is a guy who, regardless of his playing style, has mixed reputations and reputations, but his personality is definitely clear. Tang Qian also likes this kind of straightforward man.
Russell, if you can't do it, you can't win.
Tang Qian also smiled and replied. He and Westbrook actually have a good relationship in private. This kind of confrontation in the air is just a game, and each has its own master.
The Lakers are not without good news. First of all, Rondo is back, which makes the team at least not so worried about passing and dribbling. Farmar is also relieved. He really feels that he has to bear the overall burden of a strong team.
It's too difficult to operate. After a long time, he himself will be unable to hold on. The bench is more suitable for him.
With the return of Rondo, the Lakers' lineup is also much more complete and they have more confidence. Who doesn't know that the Thunder's No. 1 position is an offensive type. If Farmar is matched up, he will probably be
It was a complete blowout tonight. This guy had to score 30 to 40 points at a minimum. When it breaks out, it’s even harder to say. The difference between Rondo’s defense and Farmar’s is more than a Queens Boulevard? So his comeback will mean a lot to the Lakers.
Winning this game has a big impact.
The Thunder have also undergone changes this season, mainly on the coaching bench. The former meritorious coach Scott Brooks left the team and was replaced by a man named Billy Donovan. This man has never coached in the NBA.
, he looks very unfamiliar, but if you are an NCAA fan, then you must know that this guy is a super famous coach of the NCAA. If nothing else, he has won a total of 2 NCAA championships in his college coaching career.
You know his weight. In a knockout competition, it is extremely difficult to win the championship twice. By the way, I forgot to mention that the two championships he achieved were not ordinary two championships, but two consecutive championships.
.
Someone had invited him before, such as the Magic in 2007, but this guy chose to "break the contract." The Thunder finally invited him out this time, but it didn't get much recognition.
The main thing is that Billy Donovan has never proven himself in the NBA. In the United States, he is a "rookie".
And so far, he has not been able to control the team's two core players, Westbrook and Durant, which has greatly compromised his coaching ability. After all, college is the head coach's call, but the NBA is obviously different. To put it simply, one
The Thunder's defense has regressed significantly compared to last season. Last season they were still one of the top three defensive teams in the league. What about now? They are already in the dozen or so.
Therefore, there are many people who cannot calm down and tell him to get out of class as soon as possible. He is not suitable for the NBA.
In fact, this is an underestimation of him. He just hasn't fully adapted to the NBA yet, and he can't command the team. When he does it, how did he command the team to defeat the 67-win Spurs in the playoffs of the original time and space?
.You know, he is not that simple. Even the Warriors, do you still remember, were almost overturned by him. He led the team 3-1 over the Warriors.
If you look at his playoff opponents, the 67-win Spurs and the stronger Warriors, it is really not simple. After all, the Thunder only have a pitiful record of 55 wins this season. Besides, Westbrook is also in his hands for the first time.
Achieve average of 10+ assists per game, and start to step on the road of becoming a super all-around player or a super great brusher.
He also does a good job in teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, but now, he has not yet fully integrated into the team.
So the presence is not high yet.
It seems that instead of making progress this season, the Thunder have regressed a lot.
There is no big difference from the previous play style.
After Tang Qian saw Westbrook, they greeted each other, touched their chests, and sprayed each other a few times, which was the beginning of the game. Durant also saw this scene, and he seemed to want to come over too.
, but Tang Qian was not particularly enthusiastic about him. This made Durant feel a little "injured" and a little "embarrassed."
The Thunder's lineup is still Westbrook + Durant + Steven Adams + Serge Ibaka + Andre Robertson. The Lakers' lineup is Tang Qian + Randle + Josh Smith +
Ariza + Rondo's lineup. This game is the Lakers' home court and is held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
The Lakers took the lead at the beginning of the game. Steven Adams couldn't beat Tang Qian no matter what. He was suppressed from the beginning of the fight for the ball. He is also a traditional center and a traditional blue-collar type. This type of insider
, it is impossible to pose any threat to Tang Qian under normal circumstances, let alone Tang Qian in this state.
However, the Lakers cannot guard their opponents at the small forward position. Durant is too strong at this point, at least at the DPOY level. It is difficult to block the first defense. But this cannot stop the Lakers from starting from the first quarter.
It was bombarded from the beginning.
Indiscriminate bombardment from inside.
Since there were not enough independent scoring points, Butler and Bosh were not available, so Tang Qian took the initiative to shoulder the burden of scoring. He was not stupid. He did not take the initiative to attack at the beginning because the team had a lot of scoring points.
He needs to help them open up the state and make the team's overall scoring smoother. He can just harvest the key points himself. Just like Kobe and Dynasty Jordan who entered the finals three times, they all did this. But now that the situation has changed, they must respond accordingly.
Changes, so Tang Qian took the initiative to step up and score.
He helped the Lakers score a 9-0 score at the beginning, with 5 points and a few assists. Although he didn't get any assists, everyone who watched the game knew that it wasn't him and the rest of the Lakers couldn't get those points. The Thunder still had Durant.
He scored 2 goals and helped the team break the deadlock.
Under the defensive standards of the regular season, Durant is not easy to defend, so the Lakers have no intention of not losing the points they should lose. The Thunder scored Westbrook's sudden score and gave it to the inside. Steven Adams was the first in this game.
The first time I took a shot, my hat flew away with a high palm.
The Lakers missed a three-pointer. The Thunder were too cautious with the ball, allowing time to pass quickly and it turned into a "bomb ball."
Westbrook forced a shot but missed, and the rebound was protected by Tang Qian.
The Lakers attacked in the low post, and Tang Qian turned around to kill, causing Steven Adams' second personal foul. He went to the free throw line and made 2 of 2 free throws. The Lakers expanded their lead. The Thunder wanted to use a high corner tactic, but Tang Qian
Qian and Randall didn't pay attention to Adams' pop-up at all, with expressions that said if you want to shoot, just shoot. Steven Adams's 2-point shooting rate from 16-23 feet is around 18% in his career. This way.
His shooting percentage is high, why are you guarding him?
The Thunder center's pick-and-rolls are all about pick-and-rolls. After Adams blocks in the high post, he can only pass down and catch the ball from a long distance. The Lakers simply don't care. There is no way, Westbrook pulls up and makes a strong shot.
The ball stumbled and fell into the basket. But now the Lakers' defensive lineup is not in the best condition. It doesn't matter if they lose points. Just try your best. The main thing is to play well offensively.
Especially about Tang Qian.
He held the ball inside and took advantage of it. With one shoulder, he easily opened the way and hit the ball into the net. Tang Qian's continuous attacks at the beginning made the Thunder miss the key point of defense. It's no wonder that the Thunder's head coach started the Lakers' start this season.
No. 29 doesn't take the initiative to ask for the ball and attack continuously. This game is uncharacteristic and somewhat unexpected.
There was a ball where Adams clearly had a chance, but he was shocked by Tang Qian's pressure. Tang Qian basically didn't have time to block Adams because of his defense, but he just shouted and let the former
He stopped shooting, made a very abrupt turn, and passed the ball out again. This made Westbrook a little speechless. He thought to himself, you don't even want to shoot? What are you doing? What are you doing to me?
Huh? My chances are not good?
But now that the ball has come, Westbrook has to hit it even if he doesn't hit it. Under Rondo's defense, he misses the ball and the shot ends.
This is the benefit of Rondo. If it were still Farmar, it is estimated that this would not be the case now. If Westbrook scores, there will be at least a doubling situation. The Lakers hold the ball and give it to the low post? No, it is the Lakers No. 29 who takes the initiative
He wanted the ball. Then he faced the basket and broke through directly. He took one step past Adams and succeeded in a one-handed split.
The unlucky Adams was also sentenced to another defensive foul for raising his hand. This made Westbrook of the Thunder very angry. He tried to argue with the referee in the past, but there was no result. The replay on the big screen above his head also failed.
It was indeed Adams who fouled. In this case, after only 6 to 7 minutes of the first quarter, the Thunder's starting center was replaced, and he could only play with a man named Enes Kanter.
Enes Kanter's offense is good, but his defense is directly disastrous. For example, when the Thunder's opponents see Enes Kanter coming on the court, they will immediately attack the Thunder.
The inside line launched a fierce attack. This guy, for a tall man with a height of 211cm, is really a shame. It means that others think that your defense is poor and you can take advantage of it, so they are acting like this. Someone once said that Ene of the Thunder
Kanter is the worst defensive interior lineman in the league. This may be a bit exaggerated, but it also illustrates some problems.
That's his defense, it's really not good, very poor.
And once he fails to perform on the offensive end, he will be an absolute vulnerability on the court.
But without him, if the Thunder didn't have an inside man, they wouldn't have to defend Nick Collison, who is close to retiring.
That would only make things worse. The result was just as expected. Tang Qian began to rack up points on Enes Kanter, but the latter had absolutely nothing to do with him. Facing the basket, hard attack, back body, and hook.
With his hands, he hit the board in the low post and turned around. Tang Qian was really good at him. But Enes Kanter got nothing on the inside and on the offensive end.
Kanter doesn't have much shooting range, and his offense is basically concentrated in the paint and at the basket. If you look at his data, you will know that more than 60% of his shots per game are at the basket, and nearly 80% of his shots are in the paint. The rest of his shots are basically in the paint.
He doesn't take any shots. In addition, he doesn't have the ability to hit three-pointers, so suppressing his inside attack is equivalent to making him half useless. Defense? He is a cash machine.
There is still no need for a bank card or password in front of Tang Qian.
Tang Qian scored 18 points in the first quarter, and the Lakers only had 23 points. The Thunder did not play well in the first quarter, and the interior offense was basically completely misfired, so many of Westbrook's good passes were lost.
Useless work. Especially Kanter, who is averaging close to 15 points per game this season. His shooting percentage is also very high, close to 58%. He plays an important part of the Thunder's interior offense against many teams, helping the "double-less" team.
"He shares a lot of scoring pressure. But he is a bench player, and the Tang Qian he faced tonight was a bit too brutal.
He took 4 shots, but none went in. He was blocked twice, seriously interfered with once, and missed three shots directly once. And what about himself? He was hit by his opponent on the head consecutively, and he also lost 2 points.
A personal defensive foul. Fortunately, among these four goals, the Lakers' No. 29 only made one free throw, which was a bit of psychological comfort.
But if the Thunder wants to win this game, it is completely impossible to rely on the inside to share the pressure.
And Tang Qian's horror has just begun.
