Chapter 1464 Merry Christmas, you are a soft persimmon~ I beg a wave~
Christmas Eve is the biggest holiday in the West, and it is also a holiday that is generally closed. Therefore, if the ratings of this night are well done, the ratings will usually be much higher than usual. The NBA's Christmas game has been around for many years, and it has also become an American phenomenon.
A signature meal. But fortunately, the Lakers and Clippers are both teams in Los Angeles at the Staples Center, so the difference between who is home and away is actually not that big. After everyone finished the game,
You can still go home and spend time with your family.
As long as you have family here it's fine.
Tang Qian saw Russell looking at him and ignored him at all. Instead, he said to Rondo and Beverley: "You see, it's that kid. Kill him tonight. Is there any problem? What if you all
If I can't do it, then I will..." Without waiting for Tang Qian to finish, the two of them said directly: "Don't worry, Fang, who is he? The two of us were blocked by Ku Ritian last year, he is
, it’s still too tender, so it’s not a big problem.”
"Yes, my mad dog defense will ask him to give it a try tonight."
"That's fine. It's up to you. But if he comes in, you'd better let him come, because I also need to educate him well."
"Don't worry. We understand. We won't leave you powerless."
On the Clippers side, Russell loudly gave orders: "Everyone cooperated with me tonight and gave me more penalties. Tonight is a battle between me and my old club. I need to slap them in the face."
That’s fine! As long as everyone cooperates with me, I’ll cover tomorrow’s breakfast.”
The Clippers team responded sparsely, because this "reward" is really too unattractive, and Russell is too stingy. At least he invited us to have a dinner together in the evening. You are like this, but when
It's not a good boss. Unless you have the invincibility of Jordan, it's almost the same, but we see... you probably don't have it anymore.
However, the higher-ups have ordered that Russell is the future of the team, so there is nothing we can do around him. We are all living hand to mouth, so there is no need to make it so rigid. Besides, the Clippers' record this season is indeed not bad.
You can't say it's not Russell's contribution, right. So, even though I didn't have much motivation, I still agreed.
Russell's mentality is a little more mature than last year's first grade, but...that's all.
It’s not enough, now I’m still a little bit “big as a kid”.
On Christmas Eve, everyone has time. It is also a good party to invite friends and family to watch the game together. Americans have this kind of sports culture, so the Staples Center tonight is very popular. And for
To distinguish that this is the home court of the Lakers, Jenny Buss also asked everyone in the audience to distribute small Christmas brooches with the word Lakers on them. It was an inexpensive but exquisite Christmas gift for all the fans.
The Lakers made a lot of money by winning the championship last year. In addition, the Lakers also signed a large contract with the TV station separately. Moreover, they are still strong contenders for the championship this year. Jenny Buss will not spend this money at all.
Nothing. The Lakers haven't paid much luxury tax in recent years. The newcomers and basic salary bonuses have made them very happy.
Therefore, the team's profits are naturally quite generous.
Unlike the Cavaliers, where there are big contracts everywhere, not only locking up salary space, but also having to pay a terrible luxury tax every year. This season is even more true, because the super luxury tax is triggered, and you have to pay about 4 times the amount.
Taxes, so the Cavaliers will have to pay $5,000+ in luxury tax this year. Specifically, it is $50.7 million. That’s why even if the Cavaliers win the championship, it will be a loss or at most offset. Basically
There is not much profit. The Lakers have not been above the luxury line in the past few years, so with the exclusive broadcast contract signed with Time Warner, which is 5 billion US dollars in 25 years, they can earn another 200 million here every year. You have to know that this is
What is the concept? This exclusive broadcast contract that took effect in the 2012-2013 season is already worth more than the broadcast contracts of some football leagues. Therefore, the Buss family of the Lakers has made a lot of money in the past few years. The exclusive broadcast contract + several
With no luxury tax every year + winning the championship, they earn a lot of money.
Otherwise, Jenny Buss’s status in the Bass family is getting higher and higher now, and she feels like she has the right to speak for herself. Or, she can lead everyone to make money. In a capitalist society, this is considered to be an invincible position. Therefore,
Look at it now, Jenny Buss and the Lakers management are paying extra special attention to Tang Qian. Special staffing, off-site insurance, and small gifts from time to time, Tang Qian can't refuse.
The sense of identity of this team.
Although it is because he plays well and is strong that he is favored by the management, but you also have to think about it, why does the management still confide in you if you play poorly but are not strong? Even if you are not a capitalist, ordinary people
, then you also need to make money, right? There is no problem at all with this two-way choice.
No matter what social attributes you have, it's the same.
No one is a fool, right?
The Lakers attack, and Jordan is also convinced by Tang Qian. The success rate of this fight for the ball is too high, and he has no sense of existence at all. Forget it, let's think about how to save our lives today. This guy is the right person to deal with.
People in positions of power have always been famous for being "rude". I don't want to have another poster background.
Tang Qian and Butler had an alley-oop at the beginning. Butler came in to attract the defense and threw it hard. Then he saw No. 29 hanging directly in the sky and slamming into the circle. Lakers home commentator Bill Mack
Donald said loudly:
"Tyrant~Don~alley-oop~~~"
Well, now that he hears the clear word "Tang" in the home court, he feels refreshed all over, as if he has achieved some success after working hard in the NBA for so many years. He is not a small person who has no sense of existence at all.
"It's stuck. Why let him in so easily?" Russell complained, then shook his head, as if you really can't do it, it's up to him to see what he wants. Jordan and Griffin sneered a little.
, but the others still dared not say anything, because Russell is still the candidate appointed by the above to build the team, and ordinary players do not need to confront such a person head-on.
That is thankless.
Well, just when our Russell was about to start a gorgeous solo show, suddenly, he felt as if there were dark clouds over his head. Even though he was a Westerner, he felt something was wrong.
When he looked up, he immediately saw a pair of long arms poking directly in front of his face. It was too late to protect the ball. Rondo caught every little gap, and then directly stole the ball, quickly made a single pass, and scored with a light dunk.
"Sneak attack! Despicable sneak attack!!! This doesn't count!!!" Russell didn't seem to understand yet. As soon as he caught the ball, he immediately fell into Rondo's extreme single defense in the backcourt. This, this is the backcourt
Then the urgent marking began??? Rivers was stunned when he saw this. He suddenly remembered some bad scene, that is...
But no, he is still just a "big kid" in the second grade.
You don't need to treat me so cruelly, right? That's super defensive treatment for an MVP.
, you guessed it right, our Lakers team is going to do this tonight, and we are going to kill this second-grade "big kid". Let him also enjoy a super treatment.
"You see, you see, this is the unique skill of our Los Angeles Lakers team, the No. 1 position in the backcourt."
"Isn't it a bit... to treat a second grader like this?"
"What are you thinking, old man? He has vowed to prove himself at the home court of our Lakers. Doesn't this kind of defensive treatment give him a particularly good opportunity to prove himself? Please seize it, young man!"
Bill MacDonald's words gradually made the scene more lively, and he began to shout loudly: "Rajan~ guard him to death~ so that he can't pass the backcourt~"
"Let him understand, he is just an ordinary person~"
"Kill him~make him cry and pee~~~"
Rondo seemed to have received the cheers from the scene. He began to get better and better. He was entangled crazily, regardless of physical strength, and was so defensive. Russell could guarantee that he wouldn't be able to hold on for long! As long as he endured it, wait for him.
When you are tired, it’s time to fight back!!! Well, you are so arrogant to still think about fighting back.
Russell finally managed to commit a foul. Looking at his footsteps, it was obvious that he was also very tired.
"Finally we're in the penalty area. I thought I wouldn't even have a chance to see you here in this game." Tang Qian complained like this when Russell was taking a free throw. I don't know if it affected the latter.
Sale actually missed two free throws. This kind of result can only be exchanged for another attack from Lakers No. 29: "I can't even make free throws. Isn't this also the Staples Center?"
Yes, in fact, Russell never left Staples, right?
Russell was a little angry, but he gritted his teeth and persisted, waiting for his own little dawn. Well, it seems that dawn is coming soon. Why do I say that? Because Rondo's physical fitness has begun to decline, so it seems that Russell's dawn is about to come.
Here it comes. Well, the wait is finally here, it’s my turn to perform. Uh, what’s going on... you, your sister!
Yes, his sister is here, ah, a mad dog with a black face walks up, his eyes seem to be full of blood.
To be honest, I feel that Beverley's defensive aggressiveness this season is better than Rondo's. This will be reflected in many data. Even the impression flow will have a feeling. This season, Beverley should be the defensive aggressiveness.
He went to the defensive formation. He was probably very unhappy when he didn't get it last year. This season, he has to work hard and be ruthless. As long as he goes on the field, he will attack like a mad dog and show no mercy.
Beverley himself called his defense a mad dog defense, so Russell suddenly fell into boundless darkness again.
This, hell, this guy’s defense is like a dog’s. What the hell are you doing with your mouth open? You’re going to bite me! Go ahead, your teeth touched me. Damn it~~~
Damn it~~~Where did the mad dog come from!!!
Referee~Referee~He bit me~I need to get a rabies vaccine~~~
Beverley really worked hard, mainly because of his determination and momentum, which surpassed Rondo before. This season, he was a serious first-defense winner. So Russell began to feel nervous.
Come on, I struggled with Rondo for so long in the first quarter. I thought dawn was coming, but a mad dog came. He was also tired. It wasn’t just Rondo who had consumed physical energy, so was he? So now... physical energy
It started to decline, but Beverley was full of energy.
Continuous steals, quick downs, and one-handed dunks!
Then after scoring the goal, he yelled at Russell, as if he had lost his humanity and was like a beast.
It's just a dog.
Still a mad dog.
This made Rivers speechless, thinking that such a big move, you used to deal with Kuritian, is it necessary to use it now to deal with Russell? Isn't this too bullying? And
You are also sacrificing the other abilities of the two No. 1 positions, isn't it? Yes, but the Lakers don't care. Anyway, they are going to strangle Russell tonight and let him die with enough dignity.
This made ESPN host Rachel Du said: I am starting to feel worried about this second-grade kid.
Tonight's guest Havlicek also laughed and said: I didn't expect this trick to be difficult to use against the Warriors now, but it was used against a second-year player. I'm really looking forward to Russell's overall statistics tonight.
Another guest, Walter Fraser, said: It's a bit bullying, but I like it.
Yes, because other positions are easy to say, the Lakers' No. 1 position is constantly defensive, and it is a defensive level. Therefore, no matter when Russell plays tonight, he will face extreme defense. This makes Tang Qian even
"I can't stand it anymore." After scoring a goal, he said to the Clippers bench: "Come up here, I haven't repaired you tonight."
When Russell came on the court again in the second quarter, the result was still the same as before. The Lakers took turns taking turns to "take care" of the backcourt. This made Russell have already made 6 personal mistakes in the second quarter.
Oh, it's the seventh time. There is still a big gap between his physical fitness and Curry's last year, so if he continues to be consumed like this, the Lakers can recover, but he can't.
He is tired.
Russell finally used the pick-and-roll to score one in the middle. However, Rondo of the Lakers did not try to make up for it, because according to the plan, Russell entered the middle and they should have let it go. Because at this time, it was the Lakers.
Team No. 29’s dish.
The king's dinner cannot be easily disturbed.
Little did he know that he might have gone too far. Except for Russell, who once stood on the free throw line, the rest of the time he was tossed inside did not get in. This is not to let the boss have fun. Russell is really tired.
, coming in at a very low speed, his legs and feet seemed to trip, so... Tang Qian's ball directly blocked his layup and hit the three-point line.
Rondo immediately picked up the offensive rebound, rushed down quickly, and scored a layup.
Then there are the scenes of our Russell being abused and exploded in various states. He is getting more and more tired. Last year, Ku Ritian almost died of exhaustion in the lineup. He, a second-year rookie, still wants to break? Do you think?
What? After the whole game, the Lakers scored a total of 110 points, while the Clippers only scored 80 points, 30 of which were a bloodbath against their opponents.
The biggest score difference occurred in the third quarter, with a total lead of 42 points.
Tang Qian got a triple-double of 28+23+11+2 in a single game. It was done in 31 minutes and came to rest. Butler is very efficient. He has indeed begun to take an efficient route now, taking advantage of Tang Qian's strong defensive appeal.
Maximizing the offensive effect, he made 8 of 11 shots in this field and scored 19 points with a 72.7% shooting rate. Randall made 5 of 10 shots and made 3 free throws for a total of 13 points. Nick Young also scored two
Gasol scored 9 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks. He was still stable and perfect, supporting the internal operation of the Lakers' bench.
Well, the funniest thing is Russell of the Los Angeles Clippers. His statistics tonight were 0 points, 1 rebound, and 1 assist. His only double-digit statistics were turnovers, which directly broke the NBA turnover record, 18 in a single game.
This time, it was really cool. And this alternative 18+1+1 data also caused a heated discussion on the Internet. Of course, it was all ridicule and ridicule, and there was nothing good to say.
After all, Russell's current personality is not very good, and he likes to talk big without any brains, so naturally he doesn't have too many fans.
And 0 points is also Russell's career low. He used to have at least 2 points, okay?
Of course, he also scored 0 points and 1 point in the original time and space, but that will all happen next season. This time and space just appeared in advance, and it does not mean that he was deliberately unlucky.
At this time, Tang Qian said to the reporters at the post-match press conference:
Allowing him to score zero points means that we give him the greatest respect and attention. I don’t know if Mr. Russell is satisfied this time. This is a Christmas gift package given to you by the entire Lakers team. I hope you like it.
.
If you are not satisfied, continue to complain, but one thing must be clear, that is... our Lakers don't need you.
There is no need for the past, present or future. In a word, you are not part of the plan.
Let's develop well with the Los Angeles Clippers. Is it the home court or Staples?
What? The Clippers? Can they compete with us in the playoffs? Ask them if they have the confidence.
Russell was said to be in a trance after finishing the game. He actually walked to the wrong door and entered a neighbor's house. Then he was almost shot to death by the neighbor's fighting nation. This made Russell see Russia for a long time.
Everyone is a little scared.
But this is Russell's own business and has nothing to do with the Lakers. Tang Qian did not treat the Clippers as a piece of cake this season, right? He just looked at his phone after returning home, frowned slightly, and then
He shook his head again and soon fell asleep.
