The Tyrant was absent from the game, the Lakers felt uncomfortable in the first game, and were defeated by Universe Yong in a big score.
Where did Tang the Great go? Why didn't he play? According to insiders, the Lakers' No. 29 did not enter the injured list.
Rumor has it that someone saw traces of Tang Qian in City Y.
In Los Angeles, Taylor seemed to have received some news. After confirming the call, he directly told his agent that he would give up the remaining work during this period, and then booked a flight to the other side of the ocean.
On January 5th, the Lakers were once again defeated by the Trail Blazers with a 1-point score. Lillard scored 49 points in the game, plus a shot to beat the Lakers. The Lakers also fell to first place in the Western Conference due to their 2-game losing streak.
The throne. However, Larry Brown claimed that this goal was a non-combat crime, because the opponent's hits all exploded. On this kind of night, you cannot rely on pure defense to win.
On January 6, the Lakers lost to the Rockets again by 9 points back-to-back. This time they lost due to physical problems. Butler scored 30 points in the game but failed to help the Lakers win. This game was a "pie" for the Rockets.
The King Capela scored 20+20 in the paint without Tang Qian. This is the first time in the past few seasons that he has played this kind of data at the Lakers' home court.
In the past, when the 29th was here, I would be satisfied with a discount. 20+20, I didn’t dare to think about whether it would be a good idea or not.
The Lakers defeated the Magic in No. 8 and look to be back on track.
In the game on the 10th, the Lakers were defeated by the Trail Blazers again. Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts adopted a large number of strategies to kill the basket, and Lillard broke out again, scoring three goals in a single quarter.
After scoring 20 points, the Lakers lost by 2 points. There was no problem with the defense in this game, and the Trail Blazers only scored 89 points, but their offensive output was not enough, and there were gaps in the main lineup.
This is the problem mentioned at the beginning. The Lakers' main lineup seems to be very good, with strong defense and both offense and defense. But if Tang Qian is removed from the inside, it will immediately become different. Although Gasol's performance is not good,
However, after all, there is still a gap between his scoring ability and Tang Qian. Besides, he is already over 36 years old, and he will be 37 in July this year. No matter how well he maintains his performance, it is impossible for him to not decline from his peak.
The loss of offensive ability is a big problem for Gasol now.
You can't see it in the substitute lineup, but he is still able to do it with ease. When put in the main lineup, he will immediately feel that he is not tough enough. Besides him, who averages more than ten points per game, there is Jimmy Butler, who averages 20+ points per game.
. The rest are typical types with strong offense and weak defense. If you want to rely on them to attack and grab points independently, there will be a lot of trouble.
Once the tactics cannot be opened, the Lakers will not take any advantage in one-on-one play.
In the substitute lineup, because of the departure of Gasol, the offensive and defensive capabilities of the inside have dropped significantly, and they have begun to be frequently used by opponents. There is data from Fox. In these games, the proportion of points lost by the Lakers inside has increased sharply compared to when No. 29 left.
Nearly 70%! It can be clearly seen that the Lakers' dominant advantage inside no longer exists.
If you want to get back the losses you suffered under the basket in the Lakers penalty area, you can take the opportunity now.
Losing four out of the last five games is already a problem. If we continue to lose, we will be overtaken by the Rockets.
But there is still no news about Tang Qian, which made Lakers fans ask on the official Twitter, what is going on? Why does the team's absolute core tyrant not play? Isn't he injured? What's going on?
?The Lakers’ official answer is, bereavement leave. It’s very short and simple, but it also explains a lot.
All of a sudden, there are all kinds of speculations on the Internet, but they will soon be confirmed. They are all false.
It wasn't until someone dug up a photo of Tang Qian's grave that the truth was revealed.
It turned out that his manager died of leukemia.
Suddenly, the country became lively, including Zhou Zhiru's cemetery, which was crowded with people all day long, trying to catch any clues. Once, they actually encountered Tang Qian who came over, but this time Tang Qian went berserk and pushed away with his body.
He picked up these gossip reporters and walked away with a livid face.
Immediately, there will be news about Tang Qian playing a big name and about Tang Qian beating people. This urine is really fast.
When writing positive news, I have never seen such positivity and efficiency.
But Tang Qian didn't care about these at all, and only Taylor was here to accompany him.
Sestin actually wanted to come, but was stopped by Sofia, because she felt it was better not to involve her sister in this matter. At this time, what the man wanted was quiet rather than noisy. Just Sestin.
Personality, I'm afraid it might have really pissed him off in the past.
At that time, it was called difficult to deal with.
After some time, Taylor looked at Tang Qian, who had not spoken much during this period, and said softly: "Tang, I know you are sad, but there are some things you have to do. You are still a professional player now.
, she wouldn’t want you to be like this if she were still alive.” Tang Qian did not speak, but he still asked Taylor to start booking tickets and prepare to return to Los Angeles as soon as possible.
The day before leaving, Tang Qian first said goodbye to his parents, and then visited the Zhou family's parents again. However, this time, the Zhou family's parents were not willing to meet Tang Qian. It seemed that the last time they met with Tang Qian, they just completed their daughter's work.
It was just a request. Once it was completed, there was no need to see him again. Tang Qian waited for a long time and then slowly left.
Finally, they arrived at Zhou Zhiru's grave and stayed for several hours before leaving with Taylor.
Of course, this time, he learned his lesson. In order to stop people from getting in the way and making him feel irritable, he temporarily hired 100 burly men to clear the place. Although it once caused dissatisfaction among many people, this is not a Qingming Festival after all.
, the number of people coming is not particularly large, so the dissatisfaction caused has not fermented. But now Tang Qian is too lazy to think about it. He only knows that he must stay here quietly in the end, and no one is allowed.
Come and disturb me.
It has been more than half a month since I returned to Los Angeles this time.
That night, the Lakers defeated the Jazz at home with difficulty. The score was not high, but it was not easy to win. After the Lakers lacked Tang Qian, the biggest problem became the scoring end. The invincible output from the inside,
Suddenly it was gone. The invincible containment inside was also gone. This took the Lakers players a long time to adjust and adapt.
Butler was the main attacker during this period, but he also spent too much energy on the offensive end during this period, resulting in insufficient physical distribution on the defensive end. Then there were repeated situations where he scored high and his opponents scored low. Butler
It is very good, easy to use, and plays tough, but it can only achieve the minimum integration of offense and defense. The offensive output is slightly larger, the offensive pressure is slightly stronger, and the consumption is also increased, so it cannot maintain the previous state of integrating offense and defense.
.
So far, the Lakers' overall consumption has also intensified, and the most direct manifestation is the increase in internal injuries.
Both Yi Jianlian and Gasol have minor problems of varying degrees. Randle even sprained his left ankle because he played for too long in one game and will be sidelined for a week. He has not been able to play in the last few games.
.
At this time, Tang Qian came back, which was just the right time, because the Lakers' current ranking has been overtaken by the Rockets by half a game. They are currently stuck in third place in the Western Conference. They are still 1 and a half games ahead of the Spurs. Look.
After hearing the news about Tang Qian's return, the Lakers management couldn't help but cheer, because this period of time has been too long, and the fans have been fed up, so even if they are winning, they still let
People are unhappy.
Everyone is complaining, why are the Lakers not back on the 29th? How many games have we lost this season?
How many games? How many can there be? Damn, not many, okay?
We have only lost 8 games in total. Including the previous 3 games, it is only 5 games. We still won a small wave of games in a row. Have you all suffered from selective amnesia? Larry Brown is also speechless.
.It seems that the fans in Los Angeles are indeed the most picky people in the United States.
So far, the Lakers have a record of 42 wins and 8 losses, but the competition in the Western Conference this year is really fierce, and the upper dog zone and the lower dog zone are a mess. The Rockets have become stronger in advance, which also allows the Warriors to exert their strength in the regular season.
There are more wins than in the original time and space, and the current record is also heading towards 70 wins. Not to mention breaking last year's 73 wins, there should be no problem with a little more effort at 70 wins.
After all, the West is not the East, and the home court advantage still plays a big role. Kerr will not be careless and underestimate the enemy again this time.
With this lineup, his only goal is to win the championship, and the rest will be failures.
This is the super team known as the Universe Yong.
What more could you ask for?
So we don’t have to try hard to hit the 73-win record, but we still have to have the home court advantage. Cole’s judgment is still very clear. After seeing Tang Qian come back, the entire Lakers team warmly welcomed him, especially Butler.
, he was accustomed to the efficient playing style some time ago, and suddenly he began to be targeted. Not to mention the exhaustion, his efficiency and performance also dropped significantly. Now there are many voices questioning him from the outside world. He is also eager to play an efficient game.
Come and fight for a turnaround.
Now Butler is not as hard-hitting as he was in the 18-19 season. He still needs time to improve and grow.
Tang Qian didn't say anything when he came back, just nodded, and then asked Larry Brown to play at home against the Nuggets on January 31st. Larry Brown's original plan was to let Tang Qian recover for a week first, because this
He had known for some time that there was no systematic practice on the 29th, so it was best to give it a week. However, this suggestion was directly and ruthlessly rejected by the former, leaving no room for negotiation at all.
Larry Brown had no choice but to ask Gary Vitti to perform a basic physical examination on Lakers No. 29. This is a necessary procedure. If you are away from the game for a long time, you must pass this examination. Only if you pass the examination can you play.
. Of course, everything turned out to be normal during the examination, but the body’s energy was still a bit lower than before.
This is normal. Let’s talk about statistics directly. According to a report in the American Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine, if an adult man does not exercise and exercise scientifically within two weeks, he will lose about one-third of the weight he would have lost if he exercised and exercised regularly before.
Don't mention the muscle strength and physical fitness of a person, they will all decline. But this is all temporary. After all, the foundation is there, and it only takes about a week to return to normal. This is why Larry Brown wants Tang Qian
Reasons to do a week of recovery training.
It's a pity that I won't accept it on the 29th.
Now within the Lakers, the authority of No. 29 is definitely one that he cannot suppress.
The management now wants to see how he looks.
After all, the contract hasn't been signed yet, and the contract is about to expire, so don't make him unhappy.
