Who can still play? Looking at his team's lineup, Larry Brown also fell into deep thought. He and Tang Qian do have conflicts in their playing styles, but this does not mean that they are irreconcilable. Moreover,
It doesn't mean that there is any difference in their ultimate goals. They are all for the Lakers to win, for the Lakers to win the championship. So at this time, they will still be in the same rope. There are still a few people in the team now.
Can I go in person?
Beverley was sent off, Rondo was sent off, Butler was ejected, Pierce played too much time today and his physical fitness reached the limit. Josh Smith didn't say anything inappropriate, even if it was appropriate, he would have committed 5 fouls now.
Who else can be on the outside? Nick Young? Come on, I'm afraid he doesn't even dare to say that he can pass. Covington is a pure 3D and does not have the ability to assist and pass. He has averaged assists per game in his career.
1+, already explains a lot of problems.
Now, who else can there be?
Joe Johnson is no longer as brave as he was in the past. His passing average has reached 1+ per game, and the same is true for the original time and space future.
Nothing has changed.
Who is that? Larry Brown looked over and suddenly saw a person. He was also born in the No. 1 position. There was even a saying a few years ago about "eating, sleeping and beating Paul". He was, Germany
Ron Williams. Yes, but since this guy went to the Nets, his performance has been worse year by year, and his confidence in playing is almost gone.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been picked up by the Lakers.
I think back then, he was recognized as the No. 1 player better than Paul in college. However, this guy later became more and more obese due to injuries and lack of self-discipline. This is why he later wrote a famous article. Don't quarrel with your head coach.
Source. People like Deron actually lack self-discipline, so he can still maintain it under Sloan's iron-blooded guidance. Without him, he cannot achieve that high degree of self-discipline. After all, people like James, Kobe, and Jordan are still in the minority.
, not every NBA player is so self-disciplined and highly masochistic.
DeLong, unfortunately not.
In addition, he blindly "played a closed game" in the Nets, which was completely meaningless, and now he is close to destroying himself. I remember when Tang Qian first logged into the NBA, he was with Deron who had just joined the Nets.
He mentioned this matter, but obviously, Deron, who was still at the height of his power at the time, did not listen. Now that it is like this, in the era of NBA contract explosion, he can only watch helplessly, and there is no way to make a big fortune.
.
Especially looking at his former "defeat" Chris Paul, Deron became even more discouraged and had no sense of presence in the team. In fact, in the last season of the Original Spacetime, that is, this season, he was still able to
He has produced good statistics. Especially in the 40 games in Dallas, he can average close to 13+3+7 per game. Coupled with his increasingly reliable three-pointers, it is not that bad. Go
With the Cavaliers no longer possessing the ball, his data plummeted, making him completely lose his desire to continue playing in the NBA.
Barkley said something, when a former star can no longer dominate the court and dominate opponents as he did back then, it is actually a great torture for him. This is the case with Deron, he has not actually declined to that level.
.His condition still meets the standards of a good point guard. Even if you give him a suitable shot, he can still produce quasi-All-Star data. After all, he is only 32 years old. He needs to recover well and he will not be a bad player.
Not worth much use.
If you play as a substitute and give him the ball, he can still play well. After all, in the last year of his career, he averaged almost 6 assists per game with the Mavericks. Many No. 1 positions may not be able to do this now.
His defense is indeed not as good as Beverley and others, but assists and organization are not on the same level. Deron still retains a lot of point guard factor. This is something Beverley will never be able to catch up with.
Up.
But now, can he take on this important task? He has no intention of standing up and volunteering.
His desire to fight is no longer strong. Can he do it?
But now the Lakers really have no one, so they can only take a gamble. Larry Brown called Deron over and asked him to warm up and prepare to play the No. 1 position. The only goal was to give the Lakers
Number 29 comes to pass the ball.
Deron, this little fat guy, seems to have never thought that he would have a chance to play. After all, he is in the team now, and his presence is frighteningly low. And he is a Laker, and he doesn't have many chances to play. Bayley
Foley and Rondo already occupied many opportunities to play at the No. 1 position. He gradually gave up on this idea, and even thought that after this season, he would simply retire.
That's why he is in the team, neither shocked by honor or disgrace, neither sad nor happy, neither humble nor arrogant.
Because he no longer has any desire to play.
Sure enough, he made a mistake as soon as he came up and was directly intercepted by Paul. Paul made a long assist, helping the Rockets to directly defend and counterattack and score quickly. This made Larry Brown also shake his head off the court. It seemed...
...I still think too much. If something is in the past, it is in the past. It is impossible to come back.
He, Deron Williams, is a shooting star in the history of this league, passing away in a flash.
If no one can deliver the ball to No. 29, then this game will definitely be over.
When Larry Brown thought about this, he also wanted to give up this game, because there was really no one available for this game. So there was nothing he could do about it. He had already done what he should do. However,
Even if they lose, the Lakers still have a good chance of winning the series. After all, this kind of thing cannot happen all the time. As long as the Lakers have enough personnel, it shouldn't be a big problem to defeat this Rockets team.
It just takes a while, because the Rockets' team system is greatly defeated by the Lakers. The inside line is completely destroyed, and they can't compete with the Lakers inside line. Do you think you are brave in the universe? Lightbulbs.
There is still a long way to go between the group and Tsunami Brothers.
After all, the Warriors have established an officially recognized dynasty of three championships in four years. This is something that the Rockets cannot match up with.
But... Tang Qian was not willing to give up just like that.
When he saw Delong's eyes were vacant, he suddenly went over and slapped him.
Of course, this slap was not fast... Delong dodged it easily. This was because Tang Qian was not willing to really hit him.
However, if Delong doesn't dodge, then he doesn't recommend hitting him with a slap. If you hit such a useless person, it's enough. Anyway, he will be like this for the rest of his life. It is impossible to rise from the ashes again. He is only 32 years old.
, the ability is obviously still there, and there is even a possibility of speeding up training to recover a lot, but you insist on being so "dead or alive", then what is it if you are not practicing yourself?
But since Delong is hiding, it will be easier to handle, which means...
"What are you doing???" Delong is also furious. This is a national live broadcast, so many cameras are pointing at me, and you just come here to slap me? Are you crazy? Tang Qian just smiled
He said: "Yes, you still know how to hide and you know how to get angry, so that means you still have some blood in you."
"What do you mean?"
"If you don't dodge this slap, I will definitely not stop. People who feel sorry for themselves will be beaten if they are hit. But now that you dodge and you are popular, that's good." Tang Qian said simply.
: "Keep this kind of anger and play with this kind of emotion. You were too stagnant when playing before. That's not your basketball style."
"Besides, your game is your chance to prove yourself."
"Blow up the Sao Paulo opposite and tell the world that you are still alive, then your next contract will be secured."
"You know I'm a center, so I'm short of people to pass the ball to me. Rajon can't last a whole game. He's also 31 years old, so his playing time will definitely be compressed in the future. If you can stand up,
, share the time of organization and substitute, I will help you get the championship ring. One starts, two will not be much."
"Anyway, it's up to you to decide how you choose." Tang Qian said: "Don't think that we have to do it with you. It's just that this game is your chance. Otherwise, from the beginning of the next game, you can do whatever you want.
No more. I won't give it. Larry Brown won't give it, and the management won't give it. So this is your last chance. Think about it for yourself. Without you, we will just play a few more games with the Rockets.
It's just a game, no problem." After saying that, Tang Qian left, leaving only Deron Williams alone in the backcourt waiting for the baseline serve.
Not long after Tang Qian ran out, a loud roar suddenly came from behind: "Then I want possession of the ball during the substitute time, can you guarantee it to me?"
Tang Qian turned around and smiled and said: "I said, the team needs someone who can pass the ball to me. If you can do it, it will be yours."
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"Dayao, what did Tang Qian and Delong say just now? It seems to me that he just wanted to... uh, hit him."
"I don't know. But I think it shouldn't be a fight, it should be a special motivation method." Yao Ming is still very supportive of Tang Qian. After all, Tang Qian is now an important part of his star-making, and
Now it seems that the effect is very good. It would be strange if he didn't protect Tang Qian's personal image. "But to be honest, I still really miss the Deron back then. He made our Rockets lose many times back then."
My teeth are itching."
"Yeah, back then Deron was really good at beating Paul." Meteor Rain also recalled somewhat.
"Now the Lakers have no one available. It depends on whether Deron can seize this opportunity."
…
Toyota Center.
When Paul looked at this old rival, he no longer felt the same way he did back then. If he had to play against Deron that night, he would basically prepare for the game very seriously. The reason is very simple... He faced this guy head-on.
He couldn't take advantage at all. Even looking at the winning rate, he was completely suppressed. This still takes into account the period when Deron declined sharply. Otherwise, the two people's duel record was completely one-sided.
He has been a No. 1 defender for many years. Logically speaking, his defense at the No. 1 position is already among the best in history. However, he was still beaten repeatedly by Deron, repeatedly suppressed, and repeatedly hit highlights in singles. This explains a lot of problems.
When he played against Deron, he was really a little nervous. But this feeling has not been felt for a long time. Since Deron suffered a sharp decline in injuries in 2014, the two are no longer players of the same level. Although he feels
This guy actually still has the possibility of recovery, and his body has not been so seriously damaged, but his energy is gone. He doesn't even want to play anymore.
Such people are indeed no longer taken seriously by him and placed in the ranks of his opponents.
In addition, he made a direct steal right after he came up, and "beating Paul while eating and sleeping" has already become a piece of history.
He looked at him like he was looking at an ordinary low-level player. Deron looked at him like this and felt... unhappy!!!
He had become accustomed to this kind of gaze, but the slap just now on the 29th really made him feel the long-lost passion and anger. To maintain this feeling, he now wants to... fuck someone!!
!
After all, when he retired, he still maintained good statistics and was not so embarrassed. In addition, the opponent was Paul, and he also invisibly triggered his "field" that had not been triggered for a long time. Yes, Paul, you are the only one, there is no need to do this.
look at me!
Toyota Center, Drakes is commentating.
"The Lakers still have Deron in possession of the ball. He has just been directly intercepted. This time... Oh, he made a direct pass and passed it directly in. Then the Lakers received the ball on the 29th and sideways picked the basket.
, hit! Still an and.one!!!”
Paul felt that he was careless with the ball. As a result, when the offensive end passed by, the ball did not go in. Because during the breakthrough process, he was directly hit by the little fat guy from the Lakers with force. This feeling... is so familiar.
.
It's so familiar after a long absence.
It didn't go in. The Lakers got the ball on the 29th and then gave it to Deron and asked him to continue.
Deron faced Paul this time. Facing Paul who started to press hard, he still moved forward steadily, pushing his big butt against the latter, and then came to the top of the frontcourt. Seeing the opportunity, he passed the ball in again.
He was indeed the star No. 1 back then, and was known as the "double star at the No. 1" who shined at the same time as Paul. His passing skills are engraved in his bones.
Otherwise, in his retirement season with the Mavericks, he could have handed over nearly 6 assists in 40 games, which is already very good.
In addition, he was in good shape tonight. The ball was passed very quickly and straightly. Tang Qian only got stuck in a small position, and he was able to capture it keenly. Then he passed the ball in, and Tang Qian came back again.
Picking a slider directly caused a hitter. He made 2 of 2 free throws from the free throw line.
On the offensive end, Paul came again, and this time he directly collided fiercely with Deron. You can even vaguely hear the two people talking trash. Paul was still suppressed by Deron's power in this ball.
...Missed again!!!
The opportunity came for the Lakers. Deron crossed the court, cut in after a pick-and-roll, and directly attracted the pass. Tang Qian followed in the low post and made a two-handed violent dunk!!! Beep~~~ It also caused a foul on the Rockets player!!
!!!!All of a sudden, the Lakers actually reversed the situation like this!!! Overtaken the past!!!!!!
This ball... is actually stable!!!!!!!
Larry Brown himself never thought that Deron would actually perform like this!!!
