On December 16th, U.S. time, the Lakers came to the Wells Fargo Center, home of the Philadelphia 76ers, for an away challenge. Of course, the 76ers are still terrible now. The current record is 6 wins and 19 losses, last in the Eastern Conference, and currently only worse than
The Nets are slightly better, but the home fans of the 76ers don't care about these details, because this year they have ushered in the biggest ace monster, Joel Embiid. Although Tang Qian and Embiid
They have been friends for a long time, and you can often hear the outside world talking about their two names, but this is the first time they have met in person.
The first impression this guy gave Tang Qian was that he didn't look like a rookie or a 22-year-old player at all.
This is a powerful inside man who weighed 250 pounds in college. In 2015, he once increased his weight to 300 pounds, and now it should be controlled at 280+ pounds. In the first year, he was a heavy inside man with 280+ pounds. This really made Tang
I subconsciously feel that talent really does exist. When I first entered the league, I was only about 230 pounds. This guy came in as a heavy center, and his frame and body were both top-notch choices.
The most important thing is that his height is actually about the same as mine. This guy is definitely more than 213cm, or he has grown a little bit longer in the past few years while recuperating from injuries. This height is definitely the height of the top giant in modern basketball, and the hardware
Needless to say, in addition to his height, his wingspan has reached 228cm, which is very outstanding. Moreover, this guy has been exposed to basketball for a very short time... This fact makes many people unacceptable. He only decided to play basketball in 2010.
He officially started formal training in 2011. His talent is almost as good as that of Olajuwon.
Then came the opening warm-up. Although it didn't last long, Tang Qian could still see that his basic skills were very solid.
Unlike many modern players who don't pay attention to basic skills, this guy is like a guy who has been playing basketball since he was a child.
And there is a basket, which is really amazing. In contrast, Tang Qian really feels that his talent is explosive. At least in the first year, there are very few insiders who can surpass him in 20+ playing time. It depends on how he grows.
Well, if he grows up fast enough, he really has no chance of becoming his opponent. Well, wait, his wingspan is 228cm? Is that nonsense? This wingspan is almost the same as his own. I'm really not bragging, there is one in the original time and space
A very classic offensive and defensive picture of Emperor and Bamba, it is Bamba dunking and Emperor blocking the shot. Because they are both stretched very straight and very close together, the comparison value is still relatively high.
From that high-definition picture, you can clearly see that Embiid’s wingspan is not inferior to Bamba’s at all, and even seems to exceed it. However, considering that Bamba dunks with both hands extended, one hand is longer, and the wingspan of the great emperor is
It can't be only 228cm. Because you have to know that Bamba's wingspan is 239cm. This was a major selling point when he participated in the NBA draft.
It's just... physical condition, don't be too good, this is the proud man of heaven.
Tang Qian and Embiid also directly began to have a brief pre-game conversation as team bosses.
Embiid looked at Tang Qian and said, "You are really strong. Apart from Boban, you are the biggest guy I have ever seen." When Tang Qian saw this rookie opening his mouth, he was pretty cool.
Normally, I was about to say something, but I didn't know that the former was a turning point: "But you don't know how to shoot. You are far behind me in this regard."
Ha~ This is so ridiculous~ They say you are the king of Twitter, a super outspoken person, but I am not used to you being so obedient. Tang Qian also said to Embiid: "Little brother, your
Are you malnourished for being so small? How about I buy you some hot dogs to eat, otherwise I'm afraid your little arm will be broken later." Yes, Tang Qian is now 325+ pounds, which is already in the league.
The absolute weight inside, even O'Neal during the Magic era, is not as good as him. Coupled with the explosion of his upper body strength talent, it is no joke that Embiid looks "petite".
"You do have thick hands and a big body, but this is a basketball court, not a gym." Embiid could indeed say it and was not moved at all.
Tang Qian was also unambiguous: "The inside basket is more cruel than the gym. Otherwise, you can come over and give it a try. I welcome it."
"Do you think you've got me?" Embiid said, "I'll let you know tonight that I'm not someone to be trifled with, even if I'm still in my first year." Tang Qian also smiled and said, "Okay~
Okay~ Then it seems I should tell you some old sayings later."
"Old bird's famous saying? What?" Embiid was stunned and asked.
"Rookie, welcome to the NBA."
…
When the 76ers players saw that Embiid and Tang Qian had finished "communicating" with each other, they immediately came up and said: "Joel, why are you going to provoke that monster? He is not easy to mess with. He is a tyrant."
." It seems that Tang Qian has become famous in the league in recent years. When mentioning him, everyone's first feeling is that he is not easy to mess with. But Embiid is Embiid, how can he be afraid? If someone like him is
If he is not injured, he should have a bright future. He can score almost 27+14+3+2 in the next 33 minutes, which is not fake. That is only his third year. And the most important thing is that he is not a "big eyebrow brother"
"The kind of person who only has statistics, his team-leading ability is visible to the naked eye. He can become the dual core of a team's offensive and defensive system, but Davis cannot.
Therefore, such a person is still a talkative person and cannot bow his head easily. Otherwise, he would not be the Great Embiid.
"What can't be messed with? Not only do I want to mess with him in this game, but I also want to let him know how good I am. The future number one center in the NBA, that's mine." Damn it, is this guy really in the first grade?
How dare you say that? What a... lunatic.
At the beginning of the game, from the scrimmage for the ball, Tang Qian and Embiid exchanged words: "Little brother, you can't win if I ask you to jump first." Embiid said: "It's just a jump ball, nothing.
It’s worth showing off, I’ll beat you up later.”
It's interesting. Such an interesting newcomer is really... so interesting, isn't it?
Tang Qian felt that his "training soul" was about to awaken.
The Lakers attack, this ball is a high ladder screen, Butler seizes the opportunity and goes in, and then jumps in the middle to hit! One-handed dunk! Ignite the Lakers' first wave of momentum tonight! But this
Butler took the ball too lightly, probably because he was used to playing the 76ers easily in the past, and there was not much resistance every time. The 76ers have definitely lived up to their reputation as a bad team for a long time. But this ball...
He was hit directly by a giant spirit palm from the opposite side!
Pa~ Covered~
Look at the number on his back is No. 21! This is...Joel Embiid!
blk~~~~
There were also cheers for Embiid's block shot. Embiid was not idle after blocking the ball. After seeing the basketball go out of bounds, he immediately performed a series of additional actions, which really showed the temperament of a superstar.
When a strong man pretends to be awesome, that's called being awesome. Even though Embiid only has 20+ playing time this season, this amount of time is enough for him to rank third in the season's blocks list! Although he couldn't be selected because of the number of appearances,
In addition to Tang Qian's superior blocks per game, his 2.5 blocks per game only ranked behind the Jazz's defensive giant Gobert.
If we count a normal 36 minutes, Embiid's average blocks per game would have jumped to more than 3.5 times! That's second in the league. Even if Tang Qian hadn't airborne into this time and space, he should have been the most efficient in blocking shots this season.
The strongest and tallest person. Butler has suffered a big loss here.
On the offensive end, he actually jumped out of the pick-and-roll, then received the ball and hit a high-post 2-pointer.
Although this season is his rookie season, his 2-point shooting rate from 16-23 feet long distance is close to 49%! This is really unbelievable. After scoring the first goal for the team, Embiid deliberately placed it
He waved his hand, indicating that he would easily score 2 points. His desire to perform was also very strong.
The Lakers still used a high pick-and-roll, and Rondo cut in. At this time, the defensive energy of the Great was once again realized. He actually blocked Rondo of the Lakers' cut-in by himself, and used physical confrontation to make Rondo's shot deviate. The so-called laymen watched the fun.
, experts say, ordinary fans only saw Embiid's defensive success, but did not see...how he succeeded.
Tang Qian, as the number one center in the active league and the first insider, saw some clues. He just made one move and blocked Rondo's entire breakthrough route. He made full use of his wide and strong body to directly guard the center line, allowing
It is difficult for both opponents to break through and go deep. This guy's basic defensive skills are not about blocking. He makes full use of his own advantages. He is not the kind of jumping man who simply uses his body to block shots.
It's very possible that he will predict the opponent's route on the defensive end and block the optimal position, leaving the opponent in a dilemma.
On the offensive end, because the 76ers missed a three-pointer and it was a long rebound, the Lakers were a little messy at the moment and had not yet adjusted and prepared their posture in the fight for rebounds. At this time, of course Tang Qian couldn't watch and just hit the ball.
He moved over and then forcibly touched his opponent's mid-range shot from the bottom corner.
Can this be blocked? This guy is too good. If you play with him from now on, your shooting rhythm will be accelerated.
But the ball fell into the hands of Embiid of the 76ers. Embiid saw an opportunity and immediately attacked in the low post. Although Tang Qian went out, there was Randall inside, and Randall came to help defend.
, only to find that his opponent had just one, two or three steps to pass him perfectly. Then he stretched out his hand easily and the basketball slid into the net at close range.
This is my ability, I am the Great Emperor, Embiid!
When Embiid returned to defense, he deliberately glared at Randall, which made the reporters on the sidelines scream in excitement.
He is a man who can create topics and hot spots, and is of great commercial value.
After Tang Qian saw the ball, he came to another conclusion in his mind. The basic skills of his steps are very stable, beyond ordinary people, solid and gorgeous, and he is not the kind of guy who just relies on his physical advantage to hit hard. For example, Randall, in this regard is comparable to Embiid.
It's too different. It's not an exaggeration to say it's worlds apart.
However, this kind of performance can only make Tang Qian more interested in Embiid.
Interest in personal training.
Emperor Embiid, right? You have successfully ignited my desire. From now on, I will personally take charge of you.
Take care of you.
love you.
Are you happy?
ps: The training of the king is coming, hehe, are you looking forward to it?
