The poor Kings were first defeated by the Lakers, and then suffered a head-on attack from the "Cosmic Brave", and were defeated again at halftime. This team was basically destined to run away before the season even started.
Kao Shen also looked angry and unwilling, because he had been in Sacramento for several years and had become an All-Star very early. Even if the Lakers hadn't pressed No. 29 on him now, he would probably have been
The league's No. 1 center.
But...he has never made it to the playoffs.
This is absolutely ironic.
If the league's No. 1 center has never even played in the playoffs, doubts about him will definitely grow.
But what can I do? It’s not that the Kings haven’t introduced players, it’s just that they are still mediocre and cannot keep up with the intensifying “arms race” across the league in this era. Now the Western Conference is already full of powerful players. Not to mention the Lakers, this year’s Golden State Warriors
The improvement of the State Warriors is disappointing. Durant actually left Oklahoma City to join them. This makes their shortcomings filled, and their power is not only multiplied several times?
Coupled with the fact that there are a lot of Western Conference teams eyeing the Kings, it is simply a nightmare task for the Kings to stand out in the Western Conference. To put it harshly, even reaching the playoffs is something that is currently out of reach.
.Kaoshen watched his team get defeated in the first half again, and became silent for a rare moment.
After all, roaring cannot solve all problems.
"Universal Brave" continues its winning streak and has shown from the beginning that it meets the outside world's expectations for them.
On October 8th, the Lakers easily defeated the Nuggets. The Nuggets seem to be as bad as ever this year. Although their second-year student Jokic Yok has grown gratifyingly and has made huge improvements in all aspects, he is currently,
It's not enough to shoulder the weight of the entire Denver Nuggets. Maybe there will be a chance in the future, but not now. However, this young center left some impression on Tang Qian because of his hand skills, mainly passing and organization.
In terms of talent, he has excellent talent, which is not an easy task for a center. Those with this talent can be cultivated as the core of the team.
As long as you are not too bad in other aspects, it will be fine.
His tonnage is also good, he is strong, you can say he is a little fleshy, anyway, 250 pounds is more than enough in the era when space inside is popular, and he also has a good basket, whether it is an ordinary 2-pointer or a long 2-pointer,
He can still shoot from as far away as the three-point line. Basically, there is no blind spot in the firepower coverage. This can be regarded as the initial top match for a star insider in the new era. The most valuable thing is that his 2-pointers are still very accurate.
This will further increase his value. Of course, what shocked Tang Qian the most was that he was... still a second-round pick!
He was picked 11th in the second round, so it is really not easy to improve so much and grow so fast.
This is another disturbing thing, that is, this center from Serbia was severely ravaged by our "Devil of the Week" in the World Youth Championship. At least he was at a clear disadvantage in the confrontation. And now you
Look again, people have already made a name for themselves in the NBA as a "teacher." What about "Devil of the Week"? At least for now, it seems that the situation is not going well. "Devil of the Week" did not get much recognition in the Rockets preseason.
There are many opportunities to play, and some of them are just turning back and playing soy sauce. Although there are still many Chinese people supporting him, because there are three people like Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, and Tang Qian in front of them, everyone has requirements for the "Devil King of Zhou"
Naturally, it has also improved accordingly. In fact, let alone these fans, the "Zhou Devil" himself is also worried.
Seeing that Jodic, who was once suppressed by him, is now thriving, he cannot reconcile himself to such dismal statistics.
But the reality is still very cruel. At present, the Rockets signing him is really predicted by some domestic masters. It is for the Chinese market and to make Chinese fans come to support the Rockets. This is more like a flower.
Money buys a mascot, like a lucky cat. This is also a big blow to Zhou Qi's self-confidence.
Besides, there was once, and now is now. Let him try to fight Jokic now? What a fool if he doesn't turn him into a scum. In fact, the two sides are no longer players of the same level and level.
However, Tang Qian has no time to take care of the affairs of the "Devil of the Week" now, because the Rockets only have to worry about the "light bulb combination" of Harden + Paul this season. The rest does not matter. "Devil of the Week"? Tang Qian even suspected it
I couldn't see him when the two teams were playing against each other because he might be sent to the Development League.
Not to mention, there is nothing wrong with Tang Qian's idea. The "Demon King of Zhou" was indeed decentralized not long after he fought.
This is either because D'Antoni doesn't value him, or because he is simply not strong enough to face the challenges of the NBA.
After defeating the Nuggets in two games, the Lakers played their fourth preseason game against the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers had not yet returned from injury, so their overall combat effectiveness was very weak. The Lakers easily defeated their opponents. 10
On March 14, the Lakers played against the Kings again, and it was another big victory. If the Kings can't play inside, their only absolute advantage will be eliminated, and it will be even more difficult to win.
Cousins was suppressed in the two preseason games, which was hard to say. Fortunately, this was only a preseason game, and career data was not counted, so he escaped for the time being.
The next few preseason games also ended easily, with the Suns being beaten twice and a European team being beaten wildly. The Lakers won 8 consecutive games without any effort in the preseason. But this can't be counted.
What a proud achievement, because there are many teams that have won eight games in the preseason. Including the Lakers, there are as many as 7 teams, and the preseason is low in gold, no one really regards this as a team.
Something happened.
There were still four days before the start of the competition. Tang Qian completed the final training. The final data evaluation showed that he had steadily entered the 325-pound mark and officially reached over 325.7 pounds. In addition, his strength had also improved.
For example, the bench press finally reached over 510 pounds. According to the pyramid principle, this has reached a very scary point. If it is improved again, each time may be more difficult than the previous sum, but Tang Qian still managed to continue to improve.
He had no intention of stopping at all. This made his main trainer Tim Glover look at Tang Qian and couldn't help but sigh:
You are really a monster, the same monster as Michael. Hot, you actually gained so much on the basis of 308 pounds? And it did not affect your mobility and agility at all. You are really not a human, you are an alien
Man, Tang Qian wasn't that surprised, because he knew where his limit was, so he said, "The bench press is only 510 pounds, which is a bit low. I thought I could break through to around 520 pounds."
.I still overestimated myself.
You are so blessed that you don’t know how to be blessed! Hot, at your level, do you know what the concept is for every 10 pounds added? You thought you were pushing a 100-pound barbell. And basketball requires more than just
Upper body strength, the rest of your body must also develop...
Before he finished speaking, Tang Qian asked: Am I not developing enough in other areas? Is this training volume not enough? Do I need to add more training volume next offseason? Tim?
Oh my God, this is crazy. Isn’t this enough? That’s not what I meant. Forget it, you have great talent and good capital. I won’t say such things, okay? Even though Tim Glover complained like this
However, I feel very proud that I can personally create such an insider monster and produce an inside specimen of a human body.
In addition, the physical fitness crystal brick has also exceeded half a block, reaching a level that can support at least 45 minutes in the playoffs per game, and it is still a continuous consumption of appearances. This is also a huge improvement. Now, let’s see who dares to take advantage of the Lakers
Tang Qian is making a fuss about his lack of physical fitness. Coupled with the improvement on the offensive end, he is extremely confident about himself now.
The Lakers' first game of the 2016-2017 season is scheduled for October 25, the opener against the Houston Rockets.
It seems that the league is also very concerned. Knowing that both teams have Chinese players, the ratings of the first game will definitely not be low. Tang Qian looked at the current lineup of the Rockets. To be honest,
Yes, he doesn't think the Rockets can win. Even if they form a "lightbulb combination" earlier than the original time and space, it will be useless. But he is looking forward to the new changes D'Antoni will bring to Houston.
After all, the German coach is still his mentor, and he also hopes that D'Antoni will live well.
But now, in addition to Tang Qian, there is another center who has been greatly promoted inside. He is the great emperor of the 76ers, Embiid. This man who the 76ers have been willing to wait for several seasons is finally coming back this season.
Although he was not included in the top five centers selected by ESPN this year for the early season, he still quickly gave his "response."
In the future, I will definitely be the number one center in the league!
Okay, that’s a lot of tone, but if you are familiar with Embiid, you will know that he is a typical big mouth, and he likes to criticize each other in the media and the Internet. This can be regarded as one of his joys in life.
Come on. According to his own description, he is a person who needs motivation in life. This is also one of the sources of his motivation.
Some people say that he can win the title of NBA's first Twitter MVP, which shows how much Embiid likes to criticize people on Twitter.
But Embiid is a proper first-year student this year, so Tang Qian doesn't think he can pose any threat to him. It's just that his nickname is the Great Emperor, which happens to conflict with Tang Qian. As the saying goes, "There is nothing in the sky."
"Two days" and "no one has two masters", how could there be two great emperors? That's inappropriate, right?
When Tang Qian saw this dark young man, he suddenly touched his chin and said: Otherwise, it would be better to give him some color.
You see how much everyone is looking forward to our "double emperor showdown"? I can't live up to it, can I?
Well, 76ers, Embiid, I will remember it. I hope you are still healthy when we play against each other this season.
Besides, isn't the tradition in the NBA meant to teach arrogant rookies a lesson?
It is right to suppress people. This old-school tradition cannot be discontinued from me.
After all, I am now in the 6th grade, enough to be called a veteran.
As for the other party, he is actually a rookie, a pure rookie with no adulteration at all.
However, before the start of the first game, there is still a grand ceremony that needs to be held, that is, the championship team of last season will award the ring on this day. I want to say that since the casting of the ring has been outsourced from the NBA official to each team
After the boss, it is up to the boss to decide when to award it. But it is usually scheduled for the opening game, or it is also his first home game.
Just like the season when Kobe retired, it is not impossible to delay the award until the 24th game.
This year the Lakers are still planning to follow tradition and award the 2015-2016 NBA championship rings in the first game.
Because we are the defending champions, the first home court will naturally be at the Staples Center. This is good, as there will be an atmosphere of awarding rings. The NBA is both a competitive league, a business league, and an entertainment league. There is no such thing.
The president would interfere with it. That is too silly and does not conform to the purpose of the NBA's operations.
The Staples Center started to enter the stadium early today, and everyone felt very excited, because tonight will be the night when the Lakers "honor" the players. It took 10 weeks to make this piece by JasonBeverly Hills, a top jeweler.
Hills, if you still remember, they made the retirement ring for Kobe Bryant in the original time and space. The Lakers ring has a string of English engraved on it. This is the engraving commissioned by Jenny Buss after soliciting the consent of the entire team. It is very simple and very tacky.
, but this is exactly the unfulfilled wish of the Lakers for so many years.
Surpass Boston's number of championships, and then regain the glory of being the No. 1 NBA powerhouse.
Perhaps many people don't know that the first giant team in NBA history was not Boston, but the Lakers.
There was also such an item in old Bass's unfinished last wish, so this seemingly tacky word would look so "just right" when engraved on the ring. This sentence is:
The first wealthy family.
…
After getting the second ring of his career, Tang Qian put it on his hand directly, and then compared the number 2. This is what he was saying, now I have 2 championship rings. This is also
What famous NBA stars and celebrities like to do most is show off their rings.
Show off the number of rings. Jordan, Russell, Kobe, James, O'Neal...etc., no one has not shown off this. This shows how popular the ring theory is in the minds of NBA players. And in
Before Tang Qian spoke as the team boss, a light suddenly shone on Tang Qian at the Staples Center, and then you could hear the commentators Bill MacDonald and Stu Lantz.
Together they shouted loudly into the commentary microphone in front of them:
"Now let us invite Los Angeles Lakers No. 29, Tang from China~~~ to dive~~~"
What? Tang Qian was suddenly startled. What did he just hear? Tang Qian? Not hot money???
this……
Bill MacDonald and Stu Lantz continued: "Don, this is a gift for the new season from our two old friends. You must accept it. You don't know, in order to practice well in this
We spent a lot of vacation time on the pure pronunciation of these two words."
"We just feel that since the Toyota Center can accurately call out the name of Rockets No. 11, why can't we? Don, what you have brought to our Lakers team deserves any reward."
"Tyrant Tang~Please accept our sincere little gift~~~"
Tang Qian didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a little nervous, because he had waited for this day for 5 years and 5 seasons. This meant that his efforts were not in vain, and he finally began to reverse the situation here.
My own invisible prejudice.
A sound of Tang Qian is worth thousands of gold and has great significance.
It's not even worse than getting this championship ring.
Starting today, the word "Tang Qian" will forever ring in the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
The pure and standard two-character Tang Qian.
