Chapter 1673 The tyrant who angers Master Zhan is the strongest
Tomorrow will be a battle with the Knicks. Although the Lakers' salary cap is full this year and the maneuverability of the cap is not high, they still tried their best to recruit two Cavaliers players. Of course, you can say that this is noble.
No. 23 is something he doesn’t want at all. Whether it’s last season’s quasi-super scorer Thomas or the so-called good brother Wade, this is true. With James’ status and control over the Cavaliers, he can sign a bunch of bad contracts.
If we come down, can we still retain the millions of people that these two people put together?
Nonsense, isn't it?
The Cavaliers are also making other operations. In addition to trading away Thomas and Wade, they have acquired Clarkson, Larry Nance, George Hill, Hood, and ball brother Ball from the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Cavaliers changed almost half of their personnel. They made crazy trades and operations. Crowder, Shumpert, and Frye were all traded. They also acquired a 2018 first-round pick this summer.
When Ball's father saw that his son had finally left the Lakers, he immediately issued a statement: James, come and assist my son, they will make Cleveland shine again. Yes, he is so arrogant. Anyway, he also said this in the original time and space.
At the same time, he also cursed the Los Angeles Lakers and said:
Without my awesome son, the Lakers will never win an NBA championship in the future!!!
Damn, Tang Qian wanted to laugh when he heard this. He posted a message on Twitter, responding to Qiu Daddy:
Don’t worry, we are better off without your son. At the same time, he also scored 51+17+10+9, which means Ball’s total playing time, points, rebounds and assists in the Lakers. It is simply insignificant.
Furthermore... Ball doesn't look like he's shooting. If he goes to the Cavaliers, can he be compatible with James???
Nonsense!!!!!!!!!
Although James has always praised Ball on social platforms, but now that they are actually playing together, let’s see if he can continue to praise him. Anyway, everyone will wait and see.
James also sent a tweet specifically to Wade, writing:
Really happy for my good brother Flash, this is the expected result, love you forever, my brother.
Well, this is actually the same as the farewell tweet he posted to Wade in the original time and space. This shamelessness is really... or else he is living and playing with a mask. The politeness and officiality of these words are both
It can be used as a textbook. Under such circumstances, there is no sense of sincerity at all. There is really nothing to say about the true nature of a businessman.
It is rare that Wade did not reply or interact this time. Only he knows what he thinks specifically.
Anyway, at the beginning of the new year of 2018, the Cavaliers and Lakers have completed their signings and transactions, and there is not much room left for manipulation. It depends on whether they can produce results. Otherwise, last year’s Eastern and Western Conference champions will not be the winners this year.
They are all reduced to the level of spectators. It’s so sad.
…
The first joint training, because it was not a public training, and the media was not allowed to enter, so everyone was not very clear about the degree of adjustment of the Lakers and the experience of the newcomers. However, Thomas posted a private tweet after finishing the training:
This is why the Lakers can win consecutive championships! Their core is the true king!
This usually sounds okay, but if the king comes from the Cavaliers, it is obvious that he has something to say.
In addition, Thomas seemed to be in a good mood, and he even had an argument with a James fan on Twitter:
Am I trying to please the new boss? Haha~ Brother~ won’t you know by then? Also, it’s been a long time since KING defeated the Tyrant, do you still remember? Anyway, I don’t remember clearly.
You say I'm a loser? No, no, no, I've never fallen for anyone in the Cavaliers, there's no such problem.
You can't imagine the power of Tyrant. The first time I practiced with him, I felt the same feeling as I did in Boston last year. Believe me, buddy, it will be a matter of time before Tyrant surpasses your KING in history. Although I have never been
I feel that some people have reached the second level in history.
The next day, in an interview before the game, Thomas Jr. said:
Of course I'm very happy. I'm very happy after leaving the Cavaliers. You know, the boss of the Lakers is someone who always sets an example on offense and defense. This is very important to me. I just can't see the boss of the team being lazy on defense.
They don't work hard, but they are shouting at us every day to defend well. Why don't we defend well? Yes, the Lakers don't have this problem at all.
Compared to Thomas Jr., Wade didn't speak much and didn't seem to be in a good mood.
The Knicks are a bad team this year. Anthony left and Jackson stepped down. Now they are in a mess. Although they still have Porzingis, that's it. Porzingis won't make much difference this year. This game
To be honest, it's just to see how the Lakers' new players integrate into the team. The rest of the highlights are nothing. It's very difficult for the Knicks to win.
Madison Square Garden, game starts at 7 p.m.
Although the promotion is a battle of giants, Porzingis VS Tang Qian, everyone knows that the two are not in the same weight class. If Tang Qian wants to fight the former, it is almost like fighting a chicken. Porzingis is still too young. He still needs to
More training and training.
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"The Lakers' lineup tonight is Tang Qian + Yi Jianlian + Kuzma + Deron + Thomas. Rose is on a truce for this game. The Knicks are Porzingis + Kanter + Jarrett.
Jack + Courtney Lee. Judging from the lineup, the Lakers still have a clear advantage. In almost every position, the Purple and Gold Army is better. So what do you think of this game?"
"I think today is just to see how the newcomers on the Lakers side are like and whether they can get into team shape. If they can, this ball will basically be won. We can continue to play well in the future. If
If it doesn’t work, you need to continue to look for the overall state until you find it. Because in the Western Conference, a one-person team will never go far. The Warriors and Rockets alone cannot be defeated by one person. Neither are the other Western Conference giants.
Vegetarian. So overall strength is very important. The Lakers have suffered a lot of injuries this year, so they can only make temporary reinforcements and reassemble the lineup."
"Director Zhang, what do you think of the deal between Thomas and Wade?"
"I think it's okay. If Thomas can return to his form with the Celtics, then he'll be making a lot of money. Wade should also have some spare capacity, which can replace Rose's absence. These are immediate capabilities.
It's still a good deal. But the key is to see how you play. No matter how good the lineup is, it's all in vain if it doesn't work well together."
These are the words of National Live Broadcast here, mainly to see the performance of the Lakers' new lineup tonight.
Barkley also said something cool: The new lineup is like a husband and wife team. If they run in well, they will be cooked. If they run in poorly, they will be cooked. Is the Lakers' new lineup cooked or mushy?
Now, you can see it tonight. Before that, everything you say is false.
Yes, what he said makes sense. In today's era, some NBA players will not tell the truth for the sake of external image. No matter how good or beautiful your words are, you still have to use games to prove it.
Otherwise, they are all fake.
The effect of this lineup did not show up at the beginning, because there is still a difference between training and official games. On the contrary, the game was a bit reserved, and both Deron and Thomas made some mistakes that should not have occurred. The Knicks played a wave of 9-2
came out, the Lakers immediately called a timeout. After the timeout, Larry Brown immediately changed the formation, replacing Deron and replacing him with Beverley. It was equivalent to replacing an organizer and replacing him with a defender.
With this adjustment, there was an immediate difference.
Because Deron also needs to hold the ball, Thomas also needs to hold the ball. Both of them need to hold the ball and play very humbly, so there is naturally some conflict. After replacing Deron, Thomas finally felt the power of holding the ball alone.
Pleasure. He thought of what happened yesterday. Tang Qian told him directly during the team's training: If you want to call for pick-and-roll, just call. I've seen it. Your shooting rate in pick-and-roll is extremely high, and your efficiency ranks second in the league.
, so don’t be stingy with your most efficient way of playing. I am not KING, we are a whole.
As soon as these words came out, Thomas was so grateful, because he couldn't open up in the Cavaliers. A big reason was that the Cavaliers didn't give him any opportunities to play pick-and-rolls. James controlled the ball the whole time, and he could only cut in the air.
And shooting at fixed points. And this is not what he is good at at all. How can he fight without his most powerful weapon? He doesn't have so many choices. He only has 175CM, and shooting at fixed points is still very easy because of his size and shooting point.
Interference from opponents.
Moreover... James doesn't play pick-and-roll with him at all, which is tantamount to abolishing his ultimate scoring ability.
Now when you come to the Lakers, look at what people say, just let yourself play pick-and-roll offense!!! Damn it!!! This is the gap!!! With this sentence, Thomas immediately tweeted directly for
Tang Qian spoke and thoroughly chose his stance.
"Little Thomas held the ball in the top arc, called a pick-and-roll, and Tyrant came up to block it. It was really tight. Even if he has no pick-and-roll ability with this size and strength, his quality will not be too low. Besides, Tyrant is very good at playing pick-and-roll."
Barkley is right. This is the advantage of starting from the grassroots level. He knows all the basic skills. Cutting without the ball, pick-and-roll screens, blocking positions, there is no one that Tang Qian is not proficient in. Data shows that Tang Qian is not proficient in any of them.
The latent pick-and-roll effect is one of the best in the entire league.
It can directly improve the shooting rate of teammates by a large margin.
"Little Thomas went in, the tyrant helped him clear away the pursuers, charged in, quickly changed direction, took action, and hit! Beautiful!"
"Look at how little Thomas feels, he is still a little unfinished."
"Yes, after all, he has played so many games with the Cavaliers and has not enjoyed any exclusive treatment."
In the past, the person who provided pick-and-rolls for Thomas in the Green Army was Horford. Horford's support ability is very strong, which is one of his selling points. But when he came to the Lakers, Thomas only played a few balls and he felt it. In actual combat,
Among them, Eastern Conference No. 29 is even more tyrannical than Horford! Pick-and-roll support and coverage are simply awesome! In such an environment, he is like a fish in water.
So cool!!!
Before, I was worried that Tang Qian just said nice things, but now I see that it is really different. Orientals only talk about credibility!!!
And his low-post connection and court control are also stronger than Thomas imagined. How much he hated when he was his opponent before, but now, how happy he is! Thomas scored 12 points in the first quarter! 8 shots
5 out of 5, 2 out of 3 three-pointers, and the shooting percentage in the first quarter exceeded 60%!
The Lakers scored 40 points in the first quarter! Tang Qian and Thomas played very smoothly. One activated Thomas's strongest scoring method, and the other also fed Tang Qian, helping Tang Qian open up his defense and reduce the pressure on him.
The pressure of being jointly defended. Win-win!
The game actually lost its suspense in the first quarter. Porzingis was no match for Tang Qian in the paint. He was too light. Although Porzingis has gained a lot of weight in the past few years and is currently 109 kilograms, but...
...still not popular. Compared to his rookie period when he only weighed more than 90 kilograms, it is definitely a big improvement, but in front of Tang Qian, a powerful beast of nearly 330 pounds, his 240 pounds is not much different from a paper man
.It opens the door as soon as it hits, and even if the attack goes inside, it can't hit the latter at all.
Apart from shooting from the outside and mid-range, he has no role on the court now.
And as a big insider, he only has 6 to 7 rebounds? This is simply a replica of Lopez of the Nets. This rebounding ability is also amazing. Tang Qian grabbed the rebounds, and the Knicks also
There hasn't been much adjustment. It seems that they are planning to break the pot this season, so it doesn't matter. Thomas was assigned to play for about 30 minutes a game. This is the most efficient way of playing. He doesn't have to think about anything else.
, mainly responsible for scoring. But Larry Brown also underestimated him. As a defender, Thomas is not only able to score, but his passing is also good. Last season, he averaged 6+ assists per game as evidence. So the series ball
It's hard to tell the team. It's not a problem to feed Tang Qian the ball alone.
All he has to do is take Butler's place. Although the defense can't keep up, Thomas is not completely made of mud. Even though he is only 175cm tall, his tonnage exceeds 185 pounds! That is, 84~85 kilograms.
! And his bench press strength ranks third in the entire Celtics team!!! He is almost the same as Curry. Curry is more than ten centimeters taller than him. Think about this gap. Thomas Jr. looks like this
A horizontal one.
Very strong.
You won't be knocked away at once, but if someone hits you directly, there's nothing you can do about it. This is a flaw.
This is also Thomas's biggest defensive problem. But Butler, a short-handed monster, also has this problem. In addition, the Lakers are now clearly playing offensive basketball, so the situation becomes that when Thomas is on the court, the others help share the defensive tasks.
When he's not on the court, let's talk about other things. This is actually what the Green Army did last season, so that Thomas can be completely liberated.
Thomas broke into the paint from the middle, and then passed the ball to Tang Qian on the other side. Tang Qian cut in without the ball, received the ball, and rose from the ground. He directly smashed the Knicks' basket with one hand.
Tang Qian screened at a high position, received the ball and broke through, then passed out directly after entering. Yi Jianlian from the outside stepped back and shot a three-pointer.
Hit!
Tang Qian directly handed the ball to Thomas. Thomas received the ball from Tang Qian's long arm. He looked at it and saw that it was in a good position. He directly took the shot and hit it! His direct jump shot efficiency after using the screen was as high as 1.04 points.
! Ranked in the top five in the league. So there is still nothing wrong with playing like this.
Tang Qian once again raised the ball from a high position, and Thomas passed the ball to Tang Qian. Tang Qian did not move this time, but quickly passed the ball back on the spot. The basketball followed Thomas and cut in, and then Thomas pulled the lever and hit the board into the net.
Tang Qian and Thomas high-fived each other, and the two of them had a tacit understanding of each other. This also allowed Thomas to regain the same feeling he had in the Green Army, scoring easily and contentedly, and taking the general's head was like picking something out of a bag. Now
What about the Cavaliers? He simply loves the Lakers. In addition, the Knicks were not willing to challenge, and the score difference had already widened, so Thomas continued to score points.
Even after Tang Qian left, he still stayed on the court to play, because in this game, Larry Brown also hoped that Thomas could show his confidence and not repeat the embarrassing situation he had with the Cavaliers. Without Tang Qian's super
With high screen quality, Thomas's scoring efficiency has declined somewhat, but others are still helping with pick-and-rolls, and Thackeray is very loyal in completing the team's assignments. As long as someone helps him with pick-and-rolls, his scoring will not be the same.
will be greatly affected.
And if he plays well, his fixed-point efficiency will be greatly improved. In fact, last season, his fixed-point efficiency could get 1.22 points, which is very good. But when he was with the Cavaliers, he only had 0.79 points.
...It has plummeted by nearly half. Why? It’s because he was unhappy playing basketball. People who play basketball are all human beings, and humans will have small emotions.
In short, the baby is unhappy and has a little moodiness.
Last season, he averaged more than double digits in pick-and-rolls with the ball per game, ranking among the top in the league, which shows how much he relies on pick-and-rolls. He has never been a direct one-on-one player like Irving. Although he has strong scoring ability, even at his peak
Irving is even better, but this can only be achieved by giving him a suitable system environment. The Lakers have satisfied him from the boss to ordinary players, and the Knicks are this year's super bad team, so he is naturally a good player.
Very happy.
Tang Qian came up and showed his face in the second quarter, and Thomas Jr. led the fight the rest of the time.
The score difference has been stable between 20 and 30 points. The Knicks themselves are playing like shit, so there is no need to wash away this. Combining the two aspects, Thomas scored 30 points again tonight. If not
He failed to make the last few open 3-pointers. He can definitely score 40 points tonight. This also made him unable to help but spray some trash talk when facing Jarrett Jack:
I'm the strongest 175 on the surface, and I'm back! You can't guard against me???
Damn you, what are you pretending to be?! The last time I played with you, I almost beat you to tears, okay? You made 3 of 16 shots, don’t you remember? Damn it, I changed the team and you were so crazy.
I really should have ravaged you while you were in the Cavaliers!!!
The game ended. The Lakers defeated their opponent 105-85 with 20 points. Tang Qian only played for 15 minutes, so his statistics were just ordinary, with 7 points, 7 rebounds, 4 blocks and 4 assists. Of course,
If this data were given to other people, they would probably go crazy with joy. It would even be enough for the media to praise him. But for Tang Qian, everyone has gradually become accustomed to his power. Therefore, no one cares at all.
Just like when Westbrook scored a triple-double, Jordan and Kobe scored high points, and James led the team to the Finals again, everyone felt a little mentally numb. It seemed that it was abnormal if you couldn't get this data.
This is the trouble of the strong, and ordinary players and even ordinary stars are not qualified to feel it.
Thomas scored 37 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal tonight, with a shooting percentage of over 55%. He efficiently completed his highest score of the season. As for the opponent, except for Porzingis,
Scored 20+ statistics, and the rest are not worth mentioning. The Lakers won a game that they should have won. But everyone is paying more attention to the Lakers' running-in. Thomas Jr. tonight
Since he came to the Lakers and scored the highest points of the season, he will definitely be interviewed, and maybe he can make a big news.
This is also a common problem with the media.
Don't worry, big news is coming.
Little Thomas had been waiting for the day for a long time, so he straightened up and answered:
This is my true strength. I said before that I can't do it anymore. Now please tell me again. How about the data of 37 points?
What is the difference between the Lakers and the Cavaliers? Of course they are different. This team is where basketball is really played, and it is real team basketball. The Cavaliers are just a pseudo-team basketball. In fact, they are a super cancer that takes over everything.
Style of play. Who do you think I'm talking about? What do you think? What do you think? Yes, that's what you're thinking. The conflict between me and him hasn't lasted for a day or two. He thinks I have no use for him anymore and wants the ball.
The team traded me and Dwayne, but I will tell him with actions. He... his eyes don't work! Even after laser surgery, they still don't work! He still can't see people clearly!
What's the difference between playing next to a tyrant and playing next to KING? Didn't tonight's performance speak for itself?
What? Are you saying that I want to steal the boss? Come on, ESPN? That’s not surprising, but since you asked me, I just said it directly. The boss of the Lakers is always a tyrant, No. 29, I want it
I couldn't steal it. It wasn't that the tyrant gave me a chance tonight, it wasn't that the Knicks were too bad and he left the game too early, and I didn't have the highest scoring night of the season. So I'm really grateful to him. He, like Yao,
He is a respectable Eastern center. Besides...
He added a very flirtatious sentence:
If you want to grab it, you have to grab it from the Cavaliers. There is still some hope there, but what hope is there? The bosses on both sides are not on the same level.
These words made James so angry, as if he was saying, I only robbed James because he was weak. The tyrant is so strong, so why did I rob him? Just be the second boss with peace of mind.
You asked me what I want to say to the Cavaliers in the end? Well... I want to say, thank you for trading me without any thought. I will definitely perform hard and help the Lakers to "repay" your trade.
OK.
Compared to Thomas, Wade didn't say much.
When Little Thomas saw this, he shook his head secretly and said: What a great opportunity for revenge. This guy didn't say anything. You are not your brother Zhan who still misses you, right? Then you are really cheap.
Flash, it’s time to recharge your brain.
