Chapter 1539 Well, the tyrant was successfully provoked
Although they won, some people just didn't want to let go of Tang Qian and the others. ESPN finally caught an opportunity and roared out the "first shot against Tang Qian" in this year's playoffs. Their arguments still have perspective. First of all
Said that Tang Qian only scored 22 points in the first game, which was a huge decline from the 32 points in the regular season.
So through this, ESPN started to make a big article, saying that Tang Qian may suffer a sharp decline in the playoffs, and his regular season tactics have been figured out by his opponents. If his offensive ability is missing, the Lakers may have a problem in the playoffs.
Firepower issue.
Seeing that ESPN has taken the lead, of course Sports Illustrated will also come out to cause trouble. They also said:
If Butler hadn't played bravely in this game and made the final buzzer-beater to help the team win, the Lakers' tyrant might not have been able to leave the venue easily.
This section was really evasive and humorous. Butler's performance was indeed very good, but he couldn't be called brave before the buzzer-beater. It's not like we didn't see the shooting percentage in the game. He only made 9 of 27 shots, which was only about 33%.
If he hadn't made this buzzer-beating shot, he would probably be the first person to be criticized today. There is no problem in thanking Butler, but using Butler to erase Tang Qian's contribution would be a bit excessive. Don't forget, this ball is
Who grabbed the offensive rebound? Without this offensive rebound, do you think there would have been any buzzer-beaters on Butler's side?
Therefore, this is simply to avoid the important and to deliberately suppress Tang Qian in word games.
Of course, many Tang Mi stood up and spoke because they were not convinced. Last night, Tang Qianqian's inside line couldn't catch too many balls at all. Is this also his fault? Don't you see the number of shots? Inside lines need outside lines very much.
Are you good at giving the ball? Rondo, the Lakers' starting No. 1 position, should bear a big responsibility for Tang Qian's inability to score in this game. Secondly, don't you look at the defense? Don't you look at the rebounds? Tang Qian 30
All rebounds were eaten??? Without these 30 rebounds, could the Lakers win?
Of course, because Tang Qian's fan base is getting bigger and bigger now, and there are few scandals, his image is relatively healthy. Besides, he is Chinese and doesn't know how to get tattoos, which makes many parents favor him.
Combined with his strength, he now has countless fans. If you look at this year's All-Star voting, the domestic votes are basically not counted. Tang Qian still has a perfect score, and no one can stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
This shows that his popularity among American emperors is also terrible.
Now that their idols are being attacked, there are always some people who can't bear it. They directly attack ESPN and Sports Illustrated on Twitter, which seems really fierce. However, these two authoritative media are not vegetarians, and experts soon came to give them some advice.
The reply came out. ESPN said that the boss of the team must be responsible. How can there be such a big decline without taking any responsibility? Jordan, Kobe and Duncan are like this? So please tell me, is he the boss of the team? Yes.
Boss, if you don't play well, you will be responsible.
A decline is a decline, don’t make excuses, and here comes the classic quote:
Data doesn't lie.
Sports Illustrated is even more tricky, directly saying that most of Tang Qian's rebounds are from teammates. In essence, there is not much difference from Westbrook's rebounds. If you are on the same team with him, you have to give up.
Rebounding data. This is why the Lakers obviously have a center who averages 25 rebounds per game, but when looking at the rebounding data per game, they only lead the opponent by 6+ times.
Mader~~~This is really no need for Bilian~~~This data is very instructive and confusing. Look, everyone rebounds more in the backcourt than in the frontcourt. You can play the game sample
The more rebounds there are, the more obvious the situation becomes. Defensive rebounds are much easier to get than offensive rebounds. This fool knows it. The second thing is that Tang Qian squeezed his teammates' rebounds. How can I put this?
It's not completely unreasonable, because Tang Qian's low-post rebounding ability is so strong that even his own teammates are not comparable to him. So when you play with him, you will indeed lose rebounding data. However,
Please, ESPN and Sports Illustrated, do you want to look at the non-confrontation rebound rate? See if Tang Qian is like Westbrook or Love back then? They are all said to be data experts, but they turn a blind eye to these data and keep silent.
Tang Qian can catch rebounds by himself, which can free up the rest of his teammates. They don't need to devote energy to grabbing rebounds, so they can focus more on defense and running. These are all hidden advantages.
Can it be reflected in the data?
Is it wrong that Tang Qian is too strong in rebounding? This is nonsense. Tang Qian has so many offensive rebounds, more than twice as many as the second place player. Are you all blind? Is this also a gift?
? Just looking at the ratio is simply playing hooligans.
Tang Qian's offensive rebounds are the statistics that don't lie. You can't say that the opponent asked him to grab them.
Against the Trail Blazers, without his strong offensive rebounding output, the Lakers would have been defeated by the opponent's double blast and double shot. How could they wait for Butler's winning three-pointer?
The last point, and the most critical point, is that God’s average rebounds per game are only over 6+. Do you know the concept of having to average 6+ rebounds per game over your opponents? Let me briefly tell you about this season.
In terms of rebounds per game in the NBA, the last place is the Mavericks, which averages 38+ rebounds per game. The second place is the Thunder, which reaches 46+. As for the Los Angeles Lakers, how many rebounds per game do they have? 52+!
What is the concept of 52+ rebounds per game? It surpassed the last Mavericks by a full 14 rebounds per game. It surpassed the second-place Thunder by a full 6 rebounds per game.
It’s still an average per game! It’s an average per game!!! This is the point!!!
And do you know what it means for the first place player to average 6+ rebounds per game more than the second place player? How many years has no one achieved this record?
Modern basketball has never been like this.
Coupled with 52+ rebounds and breaking through 50+, this is something that no one has ever done in modern basketball.
is the first.
And don’t forget, the Lakers only have so many possessions. In 2019, the Bucks averaged 120 points per game. With such a high number of possessions, they only had a few rebounds, and they still didn’t have more than 50. The Lakers
What? The number of rounds is only in the middle of the league, and it was still the 16-17 season that it achieved this data. It is simply incredible, okay? If you put aside the number of rounds and talk about the so-called average rebounds per game, what are you doing if you are not fooling around?
To be honest with you, no one has done this since the 1980s.
Whether it is the Denver Nuggets in the 1990-91 season or the Milwaukee Bucks in the 18-19 season, they are all stuck at 49+ rebounds. They are still a breath away from the 50+ rebound mark. And you guys
To be clear, they are both teams with extremely high game rhythm and number of rounds. One averages 118+ and the other averages 119.9+. What about the Lakers? They just barely passed 100 points.
The current level of the entire league is in the middle and lower reaches.
There is only one team in the league that has not scored more than 100 points. Unfortunately, it is also the Mavericks. Mavericks, just rest in peace and help King Nova retire. The rest will be discussed after King Nova retires. So the average per game exceeds 100 points.
In this era, a hundred is not a big deal at all. Do you think it was still at the beginning of the new century? Free hamburgers were given out to everyone in the game if they broke a hundred? If this is still done now, the team owner will definitely suffer losses in this regard.
Speechless.
Profits are heavily discounted.
So to say that Tang Qian and the Lakers only averaged 52+ rebounds per game is a bit of a lie.
Tang Qian was also a little amused. He almost laughed out loud after reading these articles.
Of course...a sneer.
A sneer without any warmth.
Everyone on the Lakers looked at the man who was trying to laugh, and Nick Young said, "I feel like he's going to be pissed off."
"What does it feel like? What does it mean to want it? It's just that you're pissed off, okay?" Lance Stephenson interjected.
"You actually said that to him, and the expression on his face was... I couldn't bear it for a minute. How dignified is the leader in the league?" Pierce, an old man, suddenly came over and joined the conversation and said, "If it were me,
I will fight to the death and beat these bullshit keyboard warriors until their noses are bruised and their faces are swollen. I think back on those days, I was..."
"Okay, he's started again. Forget it, it's a veteran's privilege to kill in memory, let's bear with it." It seems that everyone in the Lakers team is already quite familiar with Pierce's words. This is not the first time they heard it. They all listened a little bit.
The meaning of greasy.
Seeing that no one refuted him, Pierce said narcissistically: "I remember when I was at the top of the league, I was just like him, full of face-slapping energy. When I looked at him, I really
It’s full of shadows of my past.”
At this time, Nick Young finally interrupted Pierce and said with disdain: "Say, old Pitou, when have you been the number one player in the league and been to the top of the league??? Why didn't I know?
How about you tell me about it and help me gain some historical knowledge?"
Pierce didn't blush, and opened his mouth and said: "In 2008, I was the Finals MVP, I was the king of the world, and Kobe was killed by me. They were all defeated by my men. Who is not convinced?"
"Please, there are so many people who are unconvinced. You Big Three, without Ray Allen and KG, can you beat Kobe by yourself? Okay, okay, I won't disturb your memories. Anyway, I think,
ESPN and Sports Illustrated are playing a big game." Nick Young said: "When I saw his expression, he just said, he is going to be furious in the next game."
"Come on, come on, the bet is on. Let's bet. How many points can Boss Tang beat the opponent's inside line in the next game?"
"What? 60 points? I said Lance, you are going a little too far. It's not that Boss Tang can't do it, but this Trail Blazers team. Do you really think they can play with us until the fourth quarter?
Didn't you see how dissatisfied Mr. Brown was with the last game? In this game, I'm sure he will take advantage of the Trail Blazers' backcourt double shot. At that time, do you think they can still compete with us?
Last until the fourth quarter? I can only score 35 points against Boss Tang. Either my ability is not good, or the game will not last until that time. Boss Tang will not save points in the garbage time."
"Let's talk first. It's still the same old rule. The error is no more than 3 points. Let's start placing bets now. If you want to make a small fortune, come and place bets immediately. I, Yang Shaoxia, am an innocent child and have the best reputation.
Okay."
…
Seeing that everyone was still in a good mood, Tang Qian didn't say much. They were all competitive athletes, and it was normal for them to gamble a little. Didn't he also use the 75 million prize pool to tempt so many blocks? As long as this was not too
Seriously, Tang Qian will not take care of it. Small gambling is the best portrayal in the NBA. From "ancient times" to modern times, there have been countless small stories about gambling.
But there was one thing they were really right about, and that was that they... were indeed a little offended.
This group of senior keyboard warriors from ESPN and Sports Illustrated are really jumping up and down every chance they get. It's really... I can't stand it any minute.
There is no need to endure it.
Since you said so, I will be nice and slap your little faces in the next game.
PS: There’s more, let’s keep going~ Will this year’s Western Conference Finals be so unspectacular? Is there any chance of being defeated, you guys~
