"Have the Phoenix changed their tactics?" Ci Shiping looked at the opponent's position and said.
"Is it a separate man-to-man tactic to prevent Matt Barnes from running fast?" Pau Gasol said: "Hot, that tactic is useless now."
"It doesn't matter, it will happen sooner or later anyway." Tang Qian was very open-minded, because this tactic was not complicated, and it was normal for countermeasures to be devised.
The Spaniard nodded and said: "No matter what, we are only 11 points away now. Let's work harder and try to win this game tonight."
"OK!"
"Sure!"
…
In the rest of the third quarter, the Suns and Lakers each scored goals. Although Tang Qian controlled almost all the rebounds, the leader of the Suns was not a vegetarian. With Nash's precise assists, the Suns
The team entered the fourth quarter with 73-62, still maintaining an 11-point advantage.
"Damn it, I can't catch up no matter what! These damn Phoenix people!" Ci Shiping "vented" loudly as soon as he got off the stage.
"Sorry, Tong, that guy is following me too closely, I really can't get rid of him directly, so..." Barnes said with some shame.
"This is not your problem. It is a simple tactic. If you can score so many points before the opponent reacts, it is already a profit, so you don't have to blame yourself at all." Tang Qian shook his head and comforted, but the Suns are so powerful.
It was beyond his expectation. He thought that as long as he controlled the rebounds, the game would be one-sided, but now it seems that he was too naive.
The NBA is the NBA and cannot be compared to any other league.
However, in just one quarter, Tang Qian grabbed an astonishing 14 rebounds. This kind of statistics is quite amazing.
But it's still a little short of the NBA single-quarter rebound record.
The NBA single-quarter rebound record was set by Nate Thurmond, with 18 rebounds, which is simply appalling!
In an instant, Tang Qian wiped out Marcin Gortat's 11 halftime rebounds.
M.D, T.M.D! I didn’t even grab a single rebound in the entire game? What’s this? Is it an insult to me, Gortat? Damn yellow-skinned monkey, you pissed me off tonight!
!!
"Marcin! What are you doing? Did you hear me talking to you???" Phoenix head coach Alvin Gentry said in a very dissatisfied tone.
"Coach Gentry, I..."
"It's okay if you're a bad player! You still don't listen to my tactical arrangements! Do you, Marcin Tatet, want to go to heaven???"
"Forget it, Coach Gentry, this is not Malchin's fault." Steve Nash had already seen something, and said with a certain voice: "Neither he nor Markieff took the No. 29."
Method, this can only mean that the other party broke out tonight."
An unknown person suddenly breaks out one night. This kind of thing happens all the time in the NBA.
Alvin Gentry also noticed this problem, and he said: "So Steve, what do you mean?"
"Isn't it just that we are at a disadvantage in rebounding? This kind of game has not happened before. As long as we can maintain the shooting percentage and maintain the offensive firepower, it will be fine. After all, the good state of No. 29 will be difficult to last for two quarters, isn't it?"
Steve Nash didn't look too flustered because he had witnessed too many miracles since joining this league in 1996. In his eyes, Tang Qian was nothing.
Hearing the confidence in Nash's words, Alvin Gentry nodded and said: "Okay, let you control everything, Steve, I believe in you."
"Thank you, Coach Gentry, I won't let you down." The desire to fight gradually emerged in the eyes of "Child of the Wind".
In fact, as an NBA superstar, no one is not combative, and Steve Nash is no different. Don't think that he is a "modesty gentleman" from the inside out. When it comes to the desire to fight, he is just like the "Son of the Wind"
He is terrifyingly strong. Otherwise, if he is not competitive, can he break out again after the age of 30 and win the MVP title for two consecutive seasons?
It's just that on weekdays, the "Son of the Wind"'s fighting spirit is hidden by his flowing long hair, making it less conspicuous.
…
"Director Zhang, after three quarters, the Lakers are still 11 points behind. Do you have any thoughts?" Meteor Rain asked.
"Actually, if you look at the data, the Lakers have played quite well in this quarter, especially in terms of rebounding, which is almost twice as good as their opponents. But why are they still trailing by 2 digits? This is mainly due to the first half.
The pit was too big, so it was difficult to catch up. Of course, the Suns' adjustment ability is also very good. When the Lakers were chasing points continuously, they quickly adjusted their tactics and improved their offensive success rate. Therefore, they were able to keep suppressing the Lakers and let the Lakers win.
The Lakers have no chance of making a comeback." Zhang Weiping said without any hesitation.
"So in the last quarter, how can the Lakers get close or even reverse the score?"
"Continue to defend well, but also pay attention to your own offensive success rate, because in the second half of the third quarter, the Lakers' offensive shooting rate has slowly declined. You should be alert to this and pay attention in advance.
.”
"Okay, the game has started, let's go and see how the Lakers deal with the Suns in the last quarter."
…
The fourth quarter of the game is also called the deciding game. Because basketball games are different from football games, there is no draw. Therefore, usually in the fourth quarter, a winner will be decided. And at this time, people’s mental state and physical
The state will change, and the factors of concentration and physical strength will gradually become prominent.
It was the Lakers who scored first in the fourth quarter, with Pau Gasol attacking the inside and scoring the first goal.
73-64.
Turning around, Steve Nash personally responded to the Lakers with a top-arc three-pointer.
Brush~
The basketball simply breaks the net.
76-64.
Ci Shiping took the ball and shot a three-pointer against Grant Hill. With a "swipe" sound, the basketball obediently hit the Suns' net.
76-67.
Markieff Morris of the Suns received a wonderful pass and scored with a two-handed dunk.
78-67.
…
In the first five minutes of the fourth quarter, both sides felt extremely hot, and there were almost no rebounds to speak of.
This situation made Tang Qian slightly worried. If I go, there won't be any rebounds behind, right?
If this is really the case, it will be a waste of my bronze rebound card!
However, it turned out that Tang Qian was overthinking it. After 5 minutes of "hot feeling", both sides began to slowly "cool down" and continued to strike, giving Tang Qian another chance to perform.
Sweat~ It’s different when you use ability cards. You can’t use these little rebounds!
It’s hard to imagine that this is just the average performance of “Dashuai Zhang” for a whole season!
It’s really exaggerated! It’s really tough!
After the shooting touch of both sides began to decline, the advantage of rebounding gradually emerged. The side with rebounding not only had more offensive opportunities, but also the players' shooting mentality was very relaxed, without too much extra pressure, such as
The current Lakers and Phoenix Suns are much worse. After all, no matter how strong Nash is, his teammates must be able to score goals. Otherwise, no matter how hard he connects, it will be in vain and a waste of energy.
Although the shooting percentage of the Lakers' back team is also very average, there are so many opportunities and there is no burden! Tang Qian is the main defense and Gasol is the main offense. This pair of interior twin towers almost broke Phoenix's inside line! Malkin hates it
Ah, Markieff is crying, but what can they do now? When they defended against the Spaniard alone, they were basically blown away, and they couldn't rebound the ball against the No. 29 boy on the opposite side. This feeling of frustration almost made the two of them explode.
lung!
After the Spaniard once again caused a foul on the inside player, Marcin Gortat couldn't stand it anymore and started to complain loudly to the referee. Unfortunately, this method had no effect at all, and the referee directly gave it to Marcin.
Gortat hit a T, and the Lakers had to add an extra free throw.
After making 2 of 3 free throws, the Lakers and Suns were only 6 points apart.
85-79, with 3 minutes and 58 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Phoenix Suns attacked.
"Steve, pass the ball to me later, I'm going to beat a few of them to vent my anger!" Marcin Gortat said with a very ugly expression on his face.
Nash looked at the opponent's expression and immediately said: "Marqin, don't get too excited. Don't let your T-shirt affect your mood for the game."
"Don't worry, Steve, I know what I'm doing!" Marcin Gortat said and ran towards the frontcourt.
You know what you're doing!
Steve Nash cursed slightly before starting to dribble forward.
"Pass, Steve!" Nash had just passed half court when Marcin Gortat raised his hand to reach the fairway.
This idiot has to get in even if he wants a position. Does he really think he is Kevin Garnett when he stands so far away and wants a position?
However, in order to save the face of his teammates, Nash still passed the ball.
In this round, Marcin Gortat was facing off against Pau Gasol. The former saw that he was a Spaniard, so without saying a word, he dribbled the ball to attack and hit back.
Don't tell me, when Gortat was so angry, he actually scored one!
He forced a layup, the basketball was crooked, but it finally fell into the Lakers' basket.
87-79, the Suns extended their lead by 2 points.
"Hoo-yeah! hoo-yes!!! How about it, have you seen it???" After scoring a goal, the Pole said obviously excited.
"Why are ghosts roaring and screaming? It's just dog shit luck." Tang Qian walked past him with a calm expression.
"What??? Yellow man!!! Are you looking for death!!!" Gortat roared with wide eyes.
"Ha~" Unexpectedly, Tang Qian wasn't scared at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Keep shouting, keep scolding, I'll wait for you to be kicked out by the referee."
Immediately, Gortat subconsciously turned around and caught the eye of head coach Alvin Gentry. The latter's meaning was very obvious. If you dare to eat T again, then you can watch it when the game is over!
Gortat was still a little in awe of Alvin Gentry, because he was able to achieve today's results entirely because of the former's support. You must know that before coming to Phoenix, the latter was just a game player.
The "little player" who averaged 4.0 points and 4.7 rebounds, it was here, under the guidance of Alvin Gentry, that he made rapid progress and grew to where he is today. So once the former gets angry, towards Gortat,
It still has a sufficient deterrent effect.
"You bastard, just wait for me. I can kill you without using my fists!" Gortat looked at Tang Qian and said in a threatening voice.
"Scared me? Do you think I'm scared?" After Tang Qian finished speaking, he turned around and left, ignoring Gortat, a fool.
"You're done! Asian pig!!! I'm going to beat you on the offensive end later!!!" Gortat looked at Tang Qian's back number and said fiercely.
Matt Barnes of the Lakers made a three-pointer from the corner. Duang~, the angle of the shot was a little drifting, and the basketball hit the basket and came out.
"Get the rebound!"
"I come!"
Without any surprise, Tang Qian collected this offensive rebound again, then slightly bent his knees and prepared to take off for a layup.
"Don't even think about it!!!" Upon seeing this, Gortat immediately flew up and rushed towards Tang Qian.
"Don't think about it? Don't think about it? Don't think about passing the ball?" Tang Qian cast a sarcastic look at Gortat. The ballhandler turned and the basketball quickly transferred to the hands of Pau Gasol at the other end of the paint.
It's not easy for Gasol to defeat pure rookie Markieff. The 36-year-old "sister-in-law" can average 16.5 points per game, let alone less than 32 now? Confrontation, half turn, small hook, the basketball went into the net smoothly.
, the whole action is done in one go!
87-81, 3 minutes and 05 seconds left before the end of the game.
"I'm sorry, I made you a frog again. I'm so sorry." Tang Qian shrugged at Gortat.
"Bullshit! You're so proud! I'll get you back right away!" Gortat yelled loudly.
"Okay, okay, I'll wait." Tang Qian turned around and seemed to remember something again, turned his head and said: "Oh, by the way, some people said that I can only get no more than 3 rebounds in this game.
Now let me take a look." Tang Qian pretended to raise his head, and then said slowly: "uh-oh~ It turns out there are already 20? Hey, it's all my fault for being in such good rebounding form today that you got stuck.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry~"
After saying that, Tang Qian turned around and left again, leaving only the Polish man's back with an angry look on his face.
"Asian!!! I'm not done with you!!!!!!!!!"
"Steve, pass, pass! Give me the ball! Give me the ball!!!" Gortat shouted loudly as soon as he rushed into the Lakers' paint, for fear that others would not know what he meant to play one-on-one.
This guy!
Nash couldn't do anything to him. After all, he just "successfully" entered one. If you don't give it this round, it feels a bit disrespectful.
We can only hope that he continues to score.
After Nash passed the ball, he thought to himself.
"Damn it! Asian guy! Why don't you come over to defend me???" Gortat said with dissatisfaction as soon as he saw that the person defending him was Gasol.
"This is not a street bullfight. How to defend? I have to listen to the coach, brother, are you right?" Tang Qian said while resisting Markieff Morris.
"Cunning Oriental guy! Damn Asian pig!" Gortat cursed loudly after hearing this.
"Hey, I asked you, can you be more serious? Does your attitude look down on me?" Gasol also intervened.
"The bastard Spaniard! Do you think you can guard me?" After Gortat said this, he became angry, kicked his right foot, and headed for the Lakers' basket.
Seeing the opponent attacking like this, Pau Gasol also became a little angry in his eyes.
You don't use any technical moves, you just do it like this? Do you really think you are O'Neal?
The Spaniard used his strength with his feet and pursued Gortat tightly!
There wasn't much room for a breakthrough inside, so Gortat soon hit the bottom. If he continued to rush forward and step out of bounds, that would be his only destination.
"Let's see what else you can do this time." Seeing that the opponent had no room to break through, the Spaniard said with a hint of lust on his face.
"What should we do? This is what labor and management will do!!!" Who knew that Marcin Gortat was already in a daze at this time, and without even looking at Pau Gasol standing in front of him, he just forced himself
Take off and shoot.
The Spaniard did not expect that he would do this. In a moment of hesitation, he missed the best defensive opportunity.
Damn it! Are you going to be eaten twice by this fool???
When he thought of this, Gasol said with a depressed look.
This goal is determined by labor and management!!!
Marcin Gortat shouted loudly in his heart.
Um...what???
Just behind Pau Gasol, a yellow-skinned figure suddenly rose up. The figure rose higher and higher. Finally, Gortat finally saw his face clearly... Yes, it was him???!!!
Pa~
A volleyball-style shot directly hit Marcin Gortat's release point, and then he slapped it out with great force!
Beep~
Since the basketball finally hit Gortat, the referee ruled that the Suns were out of bounds and the Lakers had the ball in the backcourt.
"Oh~ Darling Malqin, I'm sorry again~" Tang Qian said softly after landing.
That expression really makes me "deserve a beating" just by looking at it.
"fuc.k! fuc.k.you!! fuc.k.fuc.k.you!!! Labor and management are going to beat you to death!!!" Marcin Gortat encountered Tang Qian's bloody hat.
My heart suddenly exploded! Because without even thinking about it, this shot will definitely be made into a poster and then posted on the wall for people to enjoy constantly!
Thinking of this, Marcin Gortat lost control. He picked up his old fist and was about to use violence against Tang Qian!
And what about Tang Qian? A tough front? Nonono~ Now his contract is not guaranteed, how can he do anything casually in the game? If he wants to reveal his true nature, he has to wait until the contract is completely finalized, right?
So Tang Qian turned his steps deftly and quickly pretended to be innocent and said to the referee: "Referee! Referee! He is crazy, he wants to beat me! Did you see it? Did you see it?"
Upon seeing this, the referee did not hesitate and blew the whistle for T, Polish Hammer, receiving the second technical foul of the game.
According to NBA game rules, anyone who accumulates 2 technical fouls in one game will be directly expelled from the game.
And our Polish Hammer is honored to receive this honor tonight.
"You bastard, yellow guy, if you have the ability, just come with me one-on-one. What's the point of asking the referee? Damn, you're a weakling, you're a sissy!!!" Seeing that he was ejected, Gortat suddenly became even more excited.
Angry, he shouted in the direction of Tang Qian: "Are all you Asians such useless things!!!"
Tang Qian looked at the furious Gortat and said calmly: "You really want to fight? Unfortunately, I am a gentleman on the court, so I'm sorry, but I will not agree to your rude request. But
Well..." Tang Qian changed the topic and said: "If it doesn't work on the court, we can solve it off the court. If you want, you can make an appointment with me. I, Tang Qian, will always be with you, but now...haha~
I’d better ask you to go out and get some fresh air first to cool off your brain.”
"Yellow guy, just wait for me! Just wait for me!!!" Under the command of Nash, the Suns "invited" Gortat out. The Suns made a substitution and replaced him with Channing.
Lay replaces Marcin Gortat.
"Oriental, your ability to provoke is very good." After finishing Gortat's matter, Steve Nash turned to Tang Qian and said.
Tang Qian shrugged and said helplessly: "You can't blame me, Mr. Nash. I have maintained a gentlemanly demeanor from beginning to end. If you don't believe me, you can ask the referee."
Ask the referee? Asking the referee is useless!
Steve Nash cursed secretly in his heart, and then continued: "Your handling method is not wrong, but Easterners, this is just a little cleverness after all. The outcome of the game will ultimately be determined by strength.
"
"And tonight, I will definitely win this game, I promise."
Although Tang Qian likes Steve Nash very much, on the court, apart from his teammates, he is also his opponent, Steve Nash, who obviously belongs to the latter.
"What a coincidence, Mr. Nash, we also want to win tonight's game, so there is absolutely no way we can give up." Tang Qian said.
"Of course, I certainly won't ask you to 'give it up'. Because I will get it myself... regardless of whether you let me or not." After saying that, "Son of the Wind" Steve Nash turned around and returned to the Phoenix City.
field.
Without Marcin Gortat, the strong point inside, Phoenix's inside line is even weaker. Tang Qian and Gasol, one offense and one defense, are "turning the clouds and rain" inside. It's so unpleasant! Finally, there is only one left in the game.
At 37 seconds, the Lakers tied the Suns 90-90.
The Suns called a timeout, firstly to set up tactics, and secondly to interrupt the Lakers' offensive rhythm.
"Steve, now that Gortat has been sent out, what should we do?" Jared Dudley asked with a worried look on his face.
"Yeah, Steve, it's really unsustainable for Markieff and I alone!" Channing Frye said it directly without covering up.
"Steve, what do you think about playing a wing-cutting tactic on the next ball?" These were the words of Phoenix Suns head coach Alvin Gentry.
"No, the remaining 37 seconds... are under my control." Although Steve Nash's voice was not loud, his tone revealed an unquestionable feeling about his basketball.
Confidence in strength.
…
On the Lakers side, Mike Brown is also actively arranging tactics, although he himself never thought that the Lakers, who were short of major generals, could struggle with the Phoenix until now.
"In order to enhance the flexibility and mobility of the lineup, Walton and Blake will come in later to replace Derrick and Meta." As soon as Mike Brown finished speaking, Pau Gasol raised an objection: "Coach Brown
, the agility of the lineup will be improved by doing this, but at critical moments, I think it is safer to let the more experienced Derrick and Meta stay on the court."
"No, Paul, I am a head coach who is famous for his defense, so please trust my judgment. If Derek and Meta remain on the court, there will be more disadvantages than advantages. Because the Suns' cutting and running ability are really...
It's too strong. If we make an oversight or make a mistake, the opponent will probably seize the opportunity and get an easy scoring opportunity. This is absolutely not allowed to happen in the decisive round!" Mike Brown analyzed.
It's not unreasonable. The Spaniard finally nodded and said: "Okay, then just listen to the coach."
Seeing Gasol "submit", Mike Brown smiled with satisfaction and said: "As long as we can pinch Steve Nash's point and prevent him from shooting the ball comfortably, then tonight's game will be
, it’s almost certain.”
"I have just explained the general tactics in detail. Everyone, please don't forget it when you go on stage. Do you understand?" Mike Brown said.
"I understand, Coach Brown." All the Lakers soldiers responded.
"Okay..." Mike Brown said with some enthusiasm: "Let's go on the field and reap the victory!!!"
…
Beep~
The timeout is up, and in the last 37 seconds tonight, the fight begins.
The Phoenix Suns have the ball, and it is still "Son of the Wind" Steve Nash who is responsible for advancing in the backcourt.
The person the Lakers are tracking him has become Steve Blake. Even though Steve Blake will turn 32 in 7 days, compared to the "old fish" who is about to turn 38,
Fisher, his athletic ability is still much better. Furthermore, he is also taller than Fisher, so on the surface, it does have a good defensive effect.
Steve Blake defended very hard, and as he was a substitute, he had a long rest period, so he was full of energy and had no physical impact at all.
As expected, Nash raised his hand and called a pick-and-roll, and it was Grant Hill who came up.
Grant Hill? Why? Grant Hill???
Steve Blake was a bit confused.
Among the five players on the court for the Suns, excluding the ball handler Nash, Grant Hill has the worst three-point shooting ability. Even pure rookie Markieff Morris has a better three-point shooting ability than Hill.
!So...why is this? Why is he brought up to cooperate with the pick-and-roll? Is it necessary to not play a complete pick-and-roll? However, this is not in line with the Suns' offensive habits!
Steve Blake on the court didn't understand, and Mike Brown off the court didn't understand either.
Why exactly???
The answer... is surprising.
