Because after the game, Tang Qian didn't care about the outside world at all, because his only motivation was to win consecutive championships, win five consecutive championships, and get his sixth championship ring. Since then, he has tied with Michael Jordan.
Basketball is very unpredictable, especially teammates. A strong dynasty may collapse in an instant.
Star teammates may also fall in an instant.
Tang Qian obviously discovered a problem, that is, some star teammates were increasingly not performing like stars.
George, in particular, did not perform at the same level as last season. After the disaster, his state was a bit lost. He was simply superb in a few games and a ghost in several games. As for Westbrook, it seems that he has begun to decline. If this
If the season is won, then next season will be another three consecutive tests, and the aging and decline of a dynasty team will begin again.
However, with me around, they can bear a slight decline.
At least my own containment and support can offset their decline in this aspect.
Tang Qian still has this confidence.
But just when Tang Qian was thinking about these issues, news suddenly hit his head.
"Tang, what do you think of XXX's explosive score of 40+50+?"
"Don, do you think their scoring ability is starting to catch up with you?"
"Don, has your scoring ability started to decline?"
What? What do you mean? Are you kidding me? Although I didn’t exert much effort in the second game, I mainly went to punish the rookie Dallas rookie who was "Bird No. 2". However, just looking at the data, it’s not bad, right? The score.
There is no pressure to average more than 30 points per game. Therefore, Tang Qian did not expect this problem in advance. He was a little dazed. Turning around and asking, Butler and others told themselves that they were really not on the playoff scoring list now.
The first one.
Not even...the second one.
Because in this year's playoffs, the scoring was particularly violent. At the beginning, several teams even scored more than 150 points without overtime. It was not two teams, but one team's score.
Various high scores are also emerging in endlessly.
Mitchell's continuous high scoring has actually led to an extraordinary scoring average, which is currently as high as 45 points. Forget it, it is normal to break out once. The key is that in the G3 game, this guy actually scored 50+ points again! It was almost
Averaged over 49 points per game!
Averaged 48.7 points per game, ranking first.
Tang Qian really didn't expect that someone would break out like this. I'm afraid he never thought that other than himself, someone else could achieve this score. Even if it was temporary...
Okay, let’s forget the first place, the key is the second place. Murray, the Denver Nuggets’ bad guy, who was once the American goalkeeper, actually had a big breakout in 3 games this season.
, he actually scored 40+ points in 3 games, including 50+ points in 2 games! He scored a terrible 142 points in total! The average score is as high as 47.3 points per game now! What the hell happened this year?
Originally, only 5 people in history have achieved this record, namely Jerry West, Bernard King, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Jordan, and Allen Iverson. This is a bit more time and space, but
It's also an incredible data. Especially two at once, which is really hard to accept.
Ranked first with an average of 48+ per game, second with an average of 47+ per game, and third with an average of 38+ per game, Tang Qian was actually kicked out of the top three!
You really don’t know if you don’t ask, and you’ll be shocked if you ask.
Especially these reporters, as if they had found a fishy stench, they asked Tang Qian crazy questions. They wanted to put the microphone in Tang Qian's mouth, which made Tang Qian very unhappy. He knew that he was in the United States now, but he was a "public enemy".
"type, so many media and American people are hoping to smear him and give them a direct path to future promotions and salary increases.
After Tang Qian understood the question, he nodded and replied with a smile: "It turns out that I can't even enter the top three per game. No wonder. It really doesn't look good."
"Although I am past the age where I like data, this is a bit bad. So, thank you for the reminder. I will play well in the future. I hope everyone will pay more attention to my subsequent games."
That's right. Are you a person who doesn't like data? Are you lying?
However, this was Tang Qian's response, and it looked like he could return to work.
After clearing away the reporter flies, Tang Qian's expression suddenly turned cold. He suddenly looked at Westbrook and said:
"Next game, give me a few more balls."
"Oh, oh, okay, I understand." Westbrook was also suffocated, because looking at Tang Qian's expression and demeanor, he thought he was going to be beaten by Tang Qian. In the last game, he didn't play very well.
, It’s better not to offend this guy. So without any hesitation, Westbrook immediately nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, while constantly reminding himself...
G3 must be done well tomorrow, otherwise, Boss Tang may really have surgery on himself.
After Westbrook returned home, he recited these words silently a hundred times before going to bed, just so that he would not forget his "position" tomorrow and the Lakers' pre-game explanation of No. 29. He knew very well that this Eastern boss,
Otherwise, don't say it. If you say it, you must recruit him. Otherwise, he will definitely suffer a big disaster. Westbrook is determined to win a few championships here. He can't offend the team now.
Big Brother.
This is not Oklahoma anymore.
Sure enough, the newspapers and news of the day were full of things about the explosion of scoring in this year's playoffs, and the fact that Tang Qian, the scoring leader in the playoffs in recent years, was actually relegated to behind the top three. You know, in the past few seasons,
Tang Qian is not only the scoring leader in the regular season, but also the scoring leader in the playoffs. It has always been like this, and no one has ever broken the monopoly. Of course, Tang Qian didn't care much about this before, but when someone said this, it really
It's a bit... I feel like I can't do it without taking it back.
So before the game, Tang Qian made preparations and asked the whole team to give me accurate shots at the beginning. Otherwise, if he doesn't score well, it will be all because of your inaccurate shooting. This is really... domineering.
Everyone on the Los Angeles Lakers was trembling.
The game started and we returned to the home court...well, there is no such thing as home court this season. The playoffs are all closed games, so you can't come up with any tricks. The people of Dallas haven't given up yet, Carlisle
It is because of such a tenacious will that he was able to win the championship with the team against the odds in 2011, making him the biggest dark horse in history.
At the beginning of tonight, he put up a five-shooter lineup. To be honest, this kind of lineup is getting easier and easier to put out in modern times. In the past, it would have been impossible. So the space environment has really changed too much.
I have a moment of silence for the stars and data from the mid-1990s to 2010. Because it is really too miserable.
What is that sentence called? By the way, times are not good.
Moreover, the five-shooter lineup is now recognized as the most suitable lineup system to deal with the Lakers No. 29. At least, it will not be unable to play on the offensive end and be easily crushed. Since the "220" that had high hopes before the game
+ inside group" doesn't work, so let's try another routine. With the big score 0-2, Carlisle simply acted boldly and started with five shooters. Porzingis + Kleber + Doncic + two
Curry + Hardaway Jr.
The first element is space!!!
Everyone has seen it in the current playoffs. Except for some particularly fierce games, such as Tianwang Mountain or tie-break, otherwise, the intensity of the game is often comparable to that of the All-Stars. I don’t know what this guy is thinking. Let a guy
The professional sports league has no defense at all. Is it really nice to see? But in this case, no one can easily defend anyone, and the intensity of the playoffs is also declining year by year.
Compared with last year, the ratings dropped by 20%. Compared with 2018, the ratings dropped by more than 45%. The current first-round ratings have reached the lowest value in 11 years.
There is a famous saying in the United States to describe the current NBA, that is... more sober, but closer to bankruptcy.
You will know what it means when you think about it. It is not unreasonable to understand that some of Wang's words are not unreasonable. This alliance is becoming a politically similar group. It is no longer a sports alliance.
The Dallas people started to shoot three-pointers, led by the Slovenian rookie Doncic and Curry's second brother. Especially the latter, it seems that he has gradually adapted to the NBA. His three-point shooting ability is the same as his brother's, and he has potential talent.
It broke 45% in the regular season, and even broke through 478 in the playoffs, heading towards 50%. This season, it quietly completed an NBA historical record. That is the three-point field goal percentage in a single month.
Nearly 60%! 59.1%!
Broke the original Nash record.
This is really too scary.
I originally thought that the playoffs would come down, but the result was still so strong.
The Mavericks are focusing on three-pointers tonight, and they are just betting on three-pointers. Carlisle knows very clearly that if he wants to play with this team, it will definitely not work if he follows the conventional routine. So he quickly entered this kind of eccentric approach.
At this stage, he was ruthless enough, and he didn't care whether it was an improper operation or not, he would be completely defeated.
The effect is really there.
Because the defensive quality of the current league has declined significantly, it is easier for you to get opportunities and space on offense. Even in the playoffs, it has begun to become an All-Star game. So a wave of 7 of 9 shots in a single quarter beat the Lakers a bit
It’s a headache. We have to defend separately and expand the defensive area. Once it expands, more space gaps will appear.
Carlisle expressed satisfaction with the team's performance tonight, and then when he was thinking about what Larry Brown would do, he was suddenly confused by the Lakers' response.
Because the Lakers had no expected changes at all. Yes, there were no tactical changes, at least on the offensive end.
If I had to sum it up, it would be the five-character mantra:
