Chapter 1662 The wave of injuries sweeping the entire league broke out tomorrow~~~
The Emperor scored a near-quadouble in this game, 40+10+7+7, which is indeed brutal. If he can maintain this high-energy state, Tang Qian will probably go all out for him. But not now
When talking about this, although they won this game, there is an obvious problem. The Lakers' bench depth has decreased. Even if Beverley and Kuzma will return in a few days, the others will not be able to return in a short time.
Even though the 76ers are much stronger this season, they still won't be able to push the Lakers to this point. It seems that their team has something that the entire league is beginning to figure out.
This is an unavoidable thing for a team in a dynasty. You have been winning for two years. Haven't they studied you inside and out? There are really many problems in the last year of the three consecutive dynasties.
This problem became more and more prominent after the Lakers narrowly lost another away game. This time against the Nuggets, the Lakers almost overturned. After three overtimes with the Nuggets, they barely managed to win this game with a 3-point advantage.
It fully reflects the power of being able to play inside the axis. Don't look at Cousins and Davis. The statistics are very impressive, but the ability to lead the team is really not good. The two of them combined should have invincible statistics and sweep the world.
Yeah. Still not. The data is good and the team is not competitive enough. But against the Nuggets, the Lakers were almost killed. The key is their teacher Jokic. Now that he has moved to the 5th position, he is really like a fish in water.
.He alone, as an inside center, actually provided 14 assists in a single game! He is not like Cousins and Big Eyebrow, who directly assists, attracts firepower and passes the ball. This is the type of control and pivot type.
14 assists! Among them, the whole team sorted out the second assist in series. I don’t know how many. Tang Qian’s assists in this game were not as good as his.
This little fat guy may really lead the Nuggets to become a strong team in the league in the future.
A lot of players played for more than 40 minutes in this game, and many of the Lakers played for more than 50 minutes. Tang Qian himself played for more than 58 minutes. Fortunately, he won in the end, otherwise he would have been really unlucky and hurt morale.
29+6+14+2+1, shooting 11 of 18 from the field, over 60%! 3 of 5 three-pointers, 60% shooting! This guy is really impressive. His three-point shooting percentage is close to
40%! No one dared to let him take action. In this era, there are really weird insiders emerging one after another. Especially when Tang Qian went to rest, Jokic was obviously playing under pressure from Gasol.
Once or twice is luck, and if you do it more often, you have undoubted strength. Jodic's growth is obvious to all.
In this series of road trips, the Lakers lost 2 games, and several games were narrow wins. The only one that can really be called a big victory was the league's super-fat Suns. The rest were all thrilling wins. This is actually not true.
What a good thing, no one can do it, it can only extend the playing time of the existing players, so this away trip makes the team very tired. Tang Qian also lost 2 games, and the recent Western Conference Player of the Week did not win again.
, was taken away by Jokic. The best of the week in the Eastern Conference belongs to the great Embiid. Last week he averaged 30+13+5+2+1 per game, plus the team won a complete victory, he got this
There is no problem with the award. In the Eastern Conference, the Knicks have been in a state of decline recently, but Anthony took the opportunity to attack the Thunder, blasting Jackson and saying: My career in the Knicks was hell!
As a result, the Zen master answered elegantly: If an annual salary of 25 million US dollars is also called hell, it is estimated that not many people in New York are living in heaven. Although the answer is good, it also proves one point again.
The head coach with the most championships can be said to be the best coach in terms of championships. But... if he wants to learn from Riley or West to be his godfather, then he is far from it. In fact, he is not suitable for this job at all.
When it comes to matters on the court, he is a great guy. When it comes to management and the uniform team, he is a trap.
But now he has left the Knicks, and it can be said that he left in disgrace.
Of course, Melon himself was scolded the most for this matter, because he could have left New York back then, but he chose to stay for more money. This was all his own choice. How many years has it been? Really?
Do you think people are so forgetful?
Especially the Knicks fans, they even bombarded Melo: It's not that New York is hell, it's you who brought us into hell. You are the culprit! There's nothing wrong with that. As the boss of the team, you hold the most
Money, enjoying the most spotlight, shouldn't you also bear the main responsibility if the team doesn't play well? It seems that since Melo went to New York, his personality has begun to collapse, and he is becoming more and more cancerous.
Far.
Some Knicks fans also gave Anthony a curse, saying: You are a cancer! You can't do it in the Knicks! You can't do it in any team! This statement is a bit silly now, but after a while... you
You will find that it is really accurate.
Moreover, Anthony's aim is getting worse and worse. He has not developed any other tricks, which is the same three threats + shooting. Now his body is not as good as before, and if he does this, his shooting rate will only get worse. At small forward, it is already
After entering the era of comprehensive efficiency, his shooting percentage almost fell below 40%, which is really intolerable. However, the Thunder have played well in the past and their record has not declined significantly, so everyone still has expectations for Anthony.
But Anthony's problem has never been on the offensive end. After all, if he plays a role or a support, with his shooting skills, there will be no problem. But why is he immediately dismissed as a stinky piece of shit?
It's just because...he has no defense, no defense! This is completely intolerable to NBA professionals. Ordinary fans only look at the data and think it's okay. How can no team want it? But as for the defense, no one cares.
This is just like when we talked about the four major shooting guards back then, we only looked at offense, and no one ever thought about defense. It can be said responsibly that any of the four major shooting guards back then would not have won three consecutive championships if they went to the Lakers to partner with O'Neal!
Absolutely impossible! Because except for Kobe, the defense is not outstanding. Not to mention that McGrady started on defense, he started on defense, but when he started to invest absolute energy in the offensive end, what else is there to defend?
Don't you have any ideas in mind?
Not having a single defensive formation in his career is the biggest problem. Melo is also like this now. He has no defense. You are talking nonsense.
Then came Irving's famous answer: Suck.my.dick!!!
This was asked loudly by a fan in the locker room and in the stands, but Irving responded directly. No matter what happens next, you can see now that Irving is very repulsive and sensitive to James's problem. This fan is also drunk.
Irving has already fled the Cavaliers, and you still ask "Where is James?" Are you looking for scolding?
Just as it was said, Anthony of the Thunder finally managed to shine and hit a key three-pointer to overtake the score. But just when he was about to enjoy the praise from the media and fans... Wiggins threw away the Wolfberry Cup and then changed.
As a one-punch superman, with only 4.7 seconds left in the game, Wiggins directly dribbled the ball and made a three-pointer from a long distance to end the game! A super counter-attack win!!!
If you have watched this game, you will definitely know that if Anthony did not lazily return to defense for a walk, he should have been able to interfere with Wiggins' shooting from behind. As a result... he was walking and slowly returning to defense.
Watching Wiggins throw this ball in front of me. This is Anthony now. Maybe he is used to being in a bad team like the Knicks, and he doesn’t know how to defend. Or he is too lazy to defend. This defensive habit
, is the biggest reason why he will not be able to gain a foothold in the NBA in the future.
Then there is... the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers are full of big names this season. James actually wanted to divert attention before the game started, saying that the potential Lakers team was also a group of stars. As a result, this time, the Cavaliers had a very bad start.
This made James feel very bad. To put it bluntly, many people in the team didn't want to win at all. This made his old brother Flash Wade, who came to join him, immediately apply to be a substitute. Look, there is someone better than Wade
Are you a good old brother? He is simply a close friend of James. Wade has performed very poorly during this period, often scoring in single digits. In addition, the three-pointer is not good, which naturally makes James feel a little disgusted. James
What is needed is to be able to open up space. Wade does not have this ability at all. Therefore, Wade took the initiative to apply to play as a substitute.
But he didn't know that this concession for the sake of his old brother would not get him anything at all.
In the words of a reporter, James will become ruthless in order to win.
This statement is actually quite accurate, but it has not been fully fermented yet.
When Tang Qian was asked about this matter, he directly replied that neither a quasi-super scorer nor a flash player can play in the Cavaliers. Who can be blamed? What? You said the Cavaliers' strength has declined??? Come on,
Thomas's scoring ability was much better than Irving last year, okay? Don't you know how to check the data? Isn't a quasi-super scorer still considered a giant? Yes, that's what I said, the Cavaliers are still the core of the Big Three this year
, if the quasi-super scorer can't perform well around him, that's the Cavaliers' own business. As for Wade, I think he should recharge his brain more.
Yes, a quasi-super scorer has been wasted around him, what else can I say? There is nothing to say.
For himself, Tang Qian can let him go to heaven.
Because both Tang Qian and James can connect the team, but the situation is different. James needs to operate the James system, and more people are needed to clear the low post and the basket to open up. Tang Qian does not need it at all. He can attract the opponent's inside
Defense. There is no need to rush in and break out. With him, anyone can get a lot of comfortable shooting opportunities.
And whether you want to dribble and play in isolation, Tang Qian doesn't care.
He is an inside player and does not need to hold the ball significantly.
In the next few games, although Beverley and Kuzma returned, Covington was injured again. In order not to affect the team's playoffs, Tang Qian still asked him to fully recover from the injury. The Lakers' recent record
They are all unstable, and have fallen to third place in the Western Conference rankings. The first place is firmly controlled by Universe Yong. In the Lakers' recent games, even if they win, they have played very difficultly. The defensive system is already at the moment.
Unable to maintain. Because... there are not so many defenders left. Even due to too many injuries, Thackeray, who is currently on the inactive list, has been reactivated and added to the 15-man roster.
This shows how short of manpower the Lakers have.
On November 29th, U.S. time, the Lakers and Warriors met again. This time, even if Tang Qian used his ability card, he could not save the team. The Warriors' team shooting rate was close to 58%. Durant was 70%.
Curry shot 65%, Thompson 58%, and Green's shooting percentage exceeded 50%. This is a ball. This game was once again forced into overtime by Tang Qian, but after the effect of the ability card was exhausted,
Tang Qian was also unable to support him. Because the Lakers now have too few people to defend, Covington is injured, and no one can hold down Durant. There will be no interference at all. The Tsunami brothers went crazy in overtime.
Scored 30 points. A direct wave of 30-19, defeated the Los Angeles Lakers by 11 points. 141-130, the Lakers lost to the Warriors. This made the Warriors' first position in the Western Conference more stable. Then the Lakers themselves also
Because of this defeat, they fell to fourth place in the Western Conference.
Tang Qian scored 50+17+5+9 in this game, but he couldn't save the team. He has achieved the best he can do. In fact, someone has statistics, Tang Qian played against the Warriors, and his personal data
There have never been a few bad times. Basically, the Warriors can be beaten inside. But in this game, the Lakers collapsed in overtime. In addition to the effect of the ability card, there is another problem: the Lakers'
The players were too tired, and then their touch dropped off a cliff and their mistakes increased. The Tsunami brothers seized the opportunity to show their strength and took them away in a wave.
In this game, Tang Qian played 50 minutes and 11 seconds, and Butler also played 49 minutes. The rest of the players played a lot of time. The continuous long games made the players on the team obviously exhausted. The younger ones are better.
Well, as I am getting older, my body has begun to be exhausted and I can't bear it anymore. Although the Lakers won the next game against the Nuggets, they lost another person. This one is Pau Gasol. Gasol
This game lasted 42 minutes, and with Tang Qian's strong pressure inside, the Nuggets, who were feeling good tonight, were suppressed as a whole. But because I was too tired recently, my playing time suddenly increased, which caused my old habit to happen again.
If plantar fasciitis recurs, you may need to take some time off.
The Western Universe is riding high, while the Eastern Green Army maintains an unbeaten winning streak. These are the two teams that currently look the most dazzling. The Lakers and Cavaliers, who reached the finals last year, are now struggling. The Cavaliers
This is especially true. Obviously, Irving's departure has replaced Thomas, who was a stronger scorer last season, but he is simply incompatible with James. This has also caused the internal strife between Thomas and James to grow. It has reached the point where even the locker room can't contain it.
.
Thomas first angrily complained that James kept holding the ball! He is not used to playing like this at all! Unfortunately, his fans can't compare with James' fans now. Not only did the outside world ridicule him, James also singled out Wade to praise him, without mentioning Thomas at all.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is just a matter of praise and disparagement, and the conflict between Thomas Jr. and James has intensified.
Fortunately, the Lakers don't have this contradiction. Tang Qian suppresses everything inside and his force is so invincible that even thoughtful people don't dare to do it. Otherwise, they will be beaten to death by No. 29. But now, they have really become a bit like brothers.
It feels like it. The struggles of the Cavaliers and Lakers this season are beyond people's expectations. Some people from ESPN have even begun to claim that the situation where the Cavaliers and Lakers dominate each other in the East and West is already a thing of the past.
The future belongs to the Green Army and the Universe.
Ma De~ I'm so drunk~ Aren't you the typical person who praises whoever has a good record? There is really no technical content.
By mid-December, Tang Qian's MVP ranking had fallen out of the top three. People at ESPN were probably jumping for joy. After being suppressed for so long, they finally have a chance to stand up and become the master? The Lakers' record
Now we are just barely in fifth place. We are too tired, which has led to excessive consumption in the team, especially the starting players, and there has been an obvious decline in personal competitive status.
Even though Nick Young and Randall made a forced comeback, they did not fully recover from their injuries and their performance was not ideal.
The most important thing is that in a game with the Rockets, Randall was injured again while fighting for an offensive rebound. This time, it is probably not very optimistic. Gary Vitti said that although no bones were injured, if
If you continue to be injured, it may be difficult to fully recover. This time you must fully recover. No surgery is required, but you need to rest well.
Forget it, Gary Vitti also said something that made the Lakers a little desperate, that is:
The Lakers' injury wave is likely to not lessen in the future, but will get worse. Because the number of players has decreased, the playing time of the remaining players has increased. This is not a good thing. We must pay attention.
No one accuses Gary Vitti of not doing a good job. Because of the lack of manpower and the surge in playing time, it is inevitable to increase the probability of injuries. The Lakers have played the longest total game time in the league in the past four or five years.
There is no one in the team. Excessive consumption is indeed prone to injuries. This is all for a reason. Gary Vitti has tried his best.
Let’s talk about the general environment.
Strange to say, this year is really a season with many injuries. So far, the number of injured players in the league has increased to nearly 70!!! This is a real thing. The same is true for the original time and space. Think about how long it has been since the game started
?At the highest point this season, the number of injuries exceeded 80+!!! Approaching 90!!!
Comebacks, injuries, some comebacks, and others injured, this has become a routine this season.
Don't think that the Lakers have more injuries. The data are as follows. The Suns have 6 injuries, the Pelicans have 6 injuries, the Heat have 5 injuries, and the Pacers have 4 injuries. These are the five big players. The original time and space situation is similar to this.
.The wave of injuries has begun to sweep across the entire league. At present, a team that is completely free of "missing arms and legs" is the greatest luck.
In this case, the Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers met for the first time this season.
PS: The information is basically true from that season. Xiaozi has verified it and it is true and reliable. Therefore, the entire background of the league that season was the wave of injuries. It just combines with history. If you are interested, you can check it out for yourself.
Okay, here’s the big chapter, let’s make another appointment tomorrow~~~ I feel like Yuan yh1234567 is giving me a big reward~ Thank you~~~
