"Oh, we saw that Tang Qian came on stage. Director Zhang, Tang Qian came on stage very early today." Meteor Rain asked Zhang Weiping while sitting in the studio.
"Yes, I guess Tang Qian's words had an effect. The Lakers coaching staff and management, under pressure from the media, had to give Tang Qian more playing time. But, I think this matter
, it’s still a bit too risky, of course it’s best to perform well. If you perform abnormally, the rest of the game will be difficult.” Zhang Weiping still pays attention to Chinese players, so he spoke with a tone of voice today.
A little bit worried.
"What Coach Zhang said makes sense, but now that the matter has come to this, Tang Qian has no way to turn back. He can only bite the bullet and persevere, and then give a wonderful performance."
"Yes, look at Tang Qian's statistics in these games. They are very average. Although there is the factor of playing time, it is not there. The NBA is a place with an extremely cruel competitive environment. If Tang Qian continues to have sluggish statistics, then
Troy Murphy, who was finally suppressed, has another chance to make a comeback. Coupled with Tang Qian's interview speech a few days ago, tonight's game is very critical for him!"
"Well, I hope he can withstand the pressure and perform well in this game." Meteor Rain nodded.
Bynum didn't even high-five Tang Qian, but just walked straight to the Lakers bench and sat down.
Looking at the depressed expression on his face, you can tell that his condition is not very good in this game.
He made 4 of 13 shots and 3 of 5 free throws. His basic shooting percentage was only 30.8%. His 11 points were also a new low for Anzhu in the past few games. You must know that in the first two games, his shooting percentage exceeded 60.
%, the data performance of this game is really unqualified. The key is that even if there are no points, 5 rebounds and 0 blocks, it seems that Bynum's presence in the interior is particularly weak, because the Warriors are an offensive team.
Therefore, the number of offensive and defensive rounds on the court will increase a lot. As the main center, third in the season rebounding list, he only grabbed 5 rebounds in the half, which is really unsatisfactory. For comparison, look at the same players
Inside, Pau Gasol's 13 rebounds in the half are the best evidence.
Of course, the reason why Mike Brown replaced him so early was because Andrew Bynum had already committed his fourth personal foul. What made Mike Brown a little angry was that out of the four personal fouls, there was only one.
There was a foul on the defensive end, and the other three fouls were all on the offensive end. This kind of thing showed that the master's offensive and defensive ratio was extremely uncoordinated.
Normally, out of four fouls, three defensive fouls and one offensive foul are reasonable.
Like Anzhu, he only played 2 minutes in the third quarter and received three offensive fouls. This is really a rare thing in the NBA.
As for sending Tang Qian, it was also because of the pressure of media public opinion. When Tang Qian was interviewed, his real meaning was to blast the Lakers management. But on the surface, his dissatisfaction was directed at himself. Because the players
The starting and ending of the game is the head coach's right, so it is impossible for Mike Brown to completely ignore it.
Although Mike Brown won the best coach of the year, he is different from the "Zen Master" and "Cardinal" in that his team control ability is very weak. He is basically a follower of the team management. He even encountered powerful players.
For any player, he would become a spectator and a "puppet". So when the management asked Mike Brown to give Tang Qian more playing time in this game, he immediately nodded and obeyed without any intention of declining.
Maybe Mike Brown still has some tactical skills, but his personality makes him destined not to be a great coach.
Tang Qian ignored the nunnery master, took off his training clothes and walked onto the field.
56-52, this was the score between the two teams when Tang Qian came on the court. The Lakers temporarily led with a 4-point advantage.
However, due to the offensive foul committed by Anzhu, the ball is now in the hands of the Golden State Warriors.
"There's an Oriental guy coming up? Is there something wrong with the Lakers' head?" This is the Warriors' backup center, Mikel Gladnis, who was just traded from the Heat. Now the Warriors' David...
Lee went down to rest, and he and Dominic McGuire jointly guarded the Golden State Warriors' interior.
"Mikel Gladnis?" Tang Qian looked at the black player. Although this season, he and Tang Qian are both non-draft players and both belong to the NBDL league. But by chance, they have never met. This is because the two
The NBDL divisions at that time were different and far apart, so according to the NBDL's "saving money" regulations, the two teams had no chance to meet during the entire regular season. The only chance for a Showcase was because Mikel Gladnis was dismissed from the Heat.
Picked it out early and missed it.
"Do you know me?" Mikel Gladnis was slightly startled when he heard this and said.
"Of course, I am ranked 6th in the NBDL rebounding list and 13th in the scoring list this season, am I right?" Tang Qian said.
"You seem to know me very well? Have you also played in the NBDL?" Mikel Gladnis asked.
"Yes." Tang Qian nodded and said, "My name is Tang. I rank first in the NBDL rebounding list and first in the blocks list this season."
"Yes, it's you?" Mikel Gladnis said in a voice as if he remembered something.
He finally had some impression of this name. Although he had never encountered it in the NBDL league, the two unfamiliar words "hot money" made his expression change slightly. Originally, Mikel Gladnis
He still thought about getting to know this hot money man at Showcase, but after receiving the signing notice from the Heat, he immediately forgot about it.
Those who dominate the list in the NBDL may not necessarily succeed in entering the NBA in the end, because compared to such "toppers", NBA teams prefer to choose functional players to supplement them. Because they need athletes who consume a lot of ball rights, they
There is no need to look for it in the NBDL. The quality there is generally too low, and it feels a bit "not mainstream". So we often see some people scoring high in the NBDL, but in the end they fail to play in the NBA. This is
One of the reasons.
And as a marginalized player in the NBA, Mikel Gladnis doesn't have much time to pay attention to things off the court. All his energy must be concentrated on training and games, so as to increase his chances of staying in the NBA.
So he didn't think much about Tang Qian's appearance at first.
"What's wrong? Mikel, do you know him?" Dominic McGuire asked at the side.
"Well, he is from NBDL just like me."
"How is the strength?"
"The strength... is pretty good. He seems to be the rebounding and shot-blocking leader in the NBDL this season."
"Rebound leader? Block leader?" Dominic McGuire smiled and said easily: "So what? I said Mikel, aren't you intimidated by his name?"
"No, no! I haven't played against him in the NBDL, so how do I know what his real level is?" Upon hearing this, Mikel Gladnis immediately "refuted" loudly.
"Haha~buddy, you don't have to worry. The so-called NBDL rebounding kings and shot-blocking kings are nothing in the NBA! The NBA and NBDL are two different worlds. Don't you understand?" Dominic McQueen
I patted my chest and said: "For a non-draft trash like him, even if he has some ability, he is still at the NBDL level. He will definitely be ravaged when he comes to the NBA. There is no doubt about this, not to mention he is an Asian insider."
, Haha, what can an Asian insider do? Come here to kill someone?"
Dominic didn't know that his words were equivalent to bringing Mikel Gladnis into the mix, because the latter was also an undrafted player from the NBDL league.
After hearing this, Mikel Gladnis' face flashed slightly, but he returned to normal in an instant, because in the NBA, non-draft players are a group that is discriminated against. Compared with the regular players who are "rooted and young"
Draft players, because of their status in the league, are inherently inferior to others. For example, Dominic McGuire's career statistics are not necessarily better than those of Mikel Gladnis, averaging 2.7 points and 3.4 goals per game in his career.
Rebounds are decent statistics for a team player on the fringe. However, his living environment in the league is much better than the former. And his attitude when talking to the former always feels like he is one step above them.
To be honest, Mikel Gladnis is not very happy in this situation, but if he wants to fight back, he must produce excellent results and data. Otherwise, if he resists forcefully, he will only bring humiliation to himself.
No one will help a "hot chicken" like him who was not drafted.
In any sports league, there are levels of division. How can the NBA transcend this?
But Dominic McGuire was immediately hit hard.
For a weak player of his level, Tang Qian can now easily handle it even without activating his ability card.
The reason is not complicated, because once the bronze agility card is activated, it can last the longest.
Within 12 minutes, it is enough for you to "give full play".
Tang Qian stood in the "different space", and when his mind moved, the silver weekly card first lit up.
…
Pa~
The Golden State Warriors' layup was blocked. The blocker was Tang Qian, and the blocker was Dominic McGuire.
Turning around, Tang successfully dunked over the head of his potential opponent. The referee ruled that Dominic McGuire had committed a pushing foul. The offense was effective and an additional free throw was awarded.
As for extra free throws, Tang Qian's performance was as bad as ever. With a "Duang" sound, the basketball almost missed the basket.
However, Tang Qian no longer cares so much about free throws. Anyway, he doesn't expect to use this to increase the highlights of his game. If he makes free throws, he will make a profit. If he doesn't, it's normal.
"That Oriental Monkey actually dares to provoke me? I must make him pay the price!" Dominic McGuire has not yet realized anything, but is clamoring to hit the ball back.
In the next round, the Warriors' inside attack was blocked again. The blocker was Tang Qian, and the blocker was Mikel Gladnis.
In the Lakers' offensive round, Kobe Bryant hit a mid-range shot.
This oriental man moves so fast!
He is obviously taller than me, but he is extremely flexible!
Mikel Gladnis was not like Dominic, he felt the difference in Tang Qian.
