Before that, Tang Qian first checked his personal "reserves".
Completion of the challenge task, bronze completion level, and a bronze cap card will be rewarded.
When the task card task is completed, a bronze defensive rebound card will be awarded.
There is no need to go into details about the effect of the Bronze Block Card. The effect of the Bronze Defensive Rebound Card is that you can get 12 defensive rebounds in a game, which does not overlap with the previous number of defensive rebounds.
These two cards are good things. Now that the Lakers are about to hit the playoffs, they urgently need to improve their bench strength. They must make good use of them! Tang Qian thought silently in his heart.
On April 15, the Lakers played against the Mavericks at home, but Tang Qian was destined to be disappointed.
Because "King of Nowitzki" Nowitzki feels discomfort in his right knee tonight, he will not appear in the game against the Lakers.
This year's Mavericks have a very weak record, and they don't look like a defending champion team at all.
34 wins and 26 losses, this is their current regular season record, currently ranked seventh in the Western Conference.
Why did it decline so quickly? This is mainly because most of the members who won the championship last season left Dallas. Look at the Mavericks lineup last season. The starting lineup was Nowitzki, Kidd, and Chandler.
Marion, Stevenson, and the main bench are Terry, Barea, and Peja Stojakovic. This is the lineup after the team's second-leading scorer Caron Butler was retired for the season. Not to mention starlight.
Yiyi, there are many giants, that is also super reasonable, and the outside shooting ability is so scary. And this season? Caron Butler, Tyson Chandler, Jose Barea, DeShawn Steven
Not only did Sen leave the team, sharpshooter Peja Stojakovic also announced his retirement. Suddenly, last season's championship lineup fell apart. Therefore, from the beginning of the season to now, the Mavericks have not been able to catch their breath.
Moreover, the decline in personal ability of the German tank "King Nod" is also an important factor that cannot be avoided.
When he won the championship last season, Nowitzki's main personal statistics were, averaging 23 points, 7 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game, while his shooting percentage reached his peak, 51.7%. The playoffs were even more terrifying, with the average scoring increased to 27.7 points per game.
Said that the three-point shooting percentage reached a terrifying 46%! This kind of shooting efficiency is simply unparalleled among 7-footers, and it is definitely comparable to the "Big Bird" Larry Bird. Unfortunately, this season
, Nowitzki's competitive state suffered a big decline, especially when competing with the Thunder in the playoffs. His shooting percentage was only 44.2%. What about his three-point shooting percentage? It was even worse, only a miserable 16.7%, and won the championship.
This season, they are almost completely different.
Therefore, from the beginning of the season, ESPN eliminated the Mavericks from the first championship sequence.
In this game, due to the absence of the team's boss, the Lakers easily overwhelmed the Mavericks and added another victory to their regular season record. For the Lakers, Kobe Bryant scored 28 points, 4 rebounds and 5 rebounds.
Anzhu had 23 points, 16 rebounds and 2 assists, but his shooting rate was low. He made only 9 of 24 shots and a shooting rate of 37.5%. Gasol had 20 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists.
Shiping scored 18 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. The team's total rebound data and total assist data greatly exceeded the Dallas Mavericks, so naturally winning the game became a matter of course.
Tang Qian played 16 minutes and scored 3 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks.
Behind the seemingly victory, there is also a hidden worry, that is, the playing time of the main players is too long. Except for Ramon Sessions, the other four players all played more than 40 minutes. In this case,
This shows that Mike Brown's mentality is somewhat unbalanced. In order to maintain the top four rankings in the regular season, he even ignored the physical condition of the main players.
In this format, it will be too difficult to win again this year.
Even Tang Qian, a member of the Lakers, is not optimistic about this.
There was also an episode during this period, which was the meeting with "Emperor Yi". However, since "Emperor Yi" did not get a chance to play in the entire game, the "Chinese Derby" was declared aborted.
No wonder domestic fans have forgotten him. He is too introverted in the NBA!
Although Tang Qian met him for the first time, he could tell at a glance that his relationship with his teammates was not harmonious.
It's definitely not a good feeling to join the NBA with the No. 6 high-profile pick, only to have it end sadly.
In fact, this is the second time he has returned to the NBA. Unfortunately, in more than four months, the Mavericks have not given him much playing time. It can even be said that it is pitiful. So Tang Qian saw fatigue in him and the season ended.
After that, he should leave the NBA game completely.
As both Chinese players, Tang Qian doesn't want to laugh at each other, because he personally believes that "Yi Di" still has NBA-level personal abilities, but because of problems such as personality and playing style, he failed to rise like Yao Ming and become a player.
China’s new flag in the NBA.
Two days later, sure enough, when playing against the San Antonio Spurs at home, the Lakers suffered a huge rout, losing the game with a total score of 91-112. The hidden dangers of the "older team" gradually became more and more prominent.
Tang Qian performed well in this game. After consuming a bronze defensive card, he got 2 points, 7 rebounds, 6 blocks and 1 steal. However, even so, he could not save the Lakers' defeat.
fact.
On April 18, it moved to Oracle Arena for a back-to-back game against the Golden State Warriors.
Still due to injuries to their main players, the Warriors were vulnerable tonight and were snatched away by the Lakers with a 12-point advantage. Golden State ranks third from the bottom in the Western Conference this season and is definitely out of the playoffs.
Already.
Tang Qian completed another "different space" mission in this game and received a bronze power amplification card.
I thought I could use this big win to adjust the team's morale, but in the next game, I was unlucky to face the San Antonio Spurs. There's nothing to say. The Lakers were defeated by a huge score, 97-121, losing 24 points to their opponent.
.
After the game, Kobe couldn't help but "bombard" the team. He publicly said that the team's defense was too bad. This is not what a championship team should look like. Faced with the "bombardment" of the star,
Mike Brown said that Kobe was exaggerating. He said that one game does not mean anything. Moreover, the Spurs team was feeling great and shot 61% from the field. No team could win.
.
The feud between the generals has already become apparent.
Domestically, some Lakers fans also helped find excuses:
"It's so unlucky to run into the Spurs three times in one month. Anyone else would have to vomit blood!"
"After all, the Spurs are the No. 1 seed in the league. Winning one out of three games is enough. The best thing to do is to build up momentum for the playoffs!"
"That's right, our goal for the season is to win the championship! If we lose in the regular season, we lose, it's not a big deal!"
Although they said this, most Lakers fans had a bad feeling in their hearts.
On April 22, the Lakers finally returned to their home court in Los Angeles. At 8 o'clock tonight, they will face the second-place team in the Western Conference, the Oklahoma City Thunder, at the Staples Center.
This is an eye-catching battle, because based on the current playoff spots, the two teams are likely to meet in the second round of the playoffs.
There is no doubt that this game was broadcast live across the United States and was broadcast by ESPN.
Before the game, ESPN, as usual, "rendered" the game to a certain extent.
Kobe VS Durant, the battle for the scoring champion, needless to say, must be at the top of the list of "renderings".
What is unexpected is that Tang Qian was also listed as "rendered" by ESPN for this game.
It’s called: The battle for the league’s shot-blocking king, China Hot VS Serge Ibaka!
"Tang, congratulations, you are on ESPN's pre-match promotional poster! This is a great thing to increase exposure!" Ci Shiping came over early in the morning to "tease" Tang Qian.
"What a good thing this is. Serge Ibaka will definitely have a fight with me in tomorrow's game!" Tang Qian said with a wry smile and shook his head. He had also seen this publicity stunt. It was simply called "
"Do whatever it takes". What is a war under the basket? Who is more MAN, Tang Qian or Serge Ibaka? What does it mean who is the king of rim protection? The loser will withdraw from the battle for the block king this season? What does it mean?
There have been grievances for a long time, and the destined showdown between the Chinese center and the Congolese center? What is...these "slick" propaganda exaggerations, the old and American are no worse than the domestic ones!
"What are you afraid of?" After hearing this, Ci Shiping patted Tang Qian's chest and said, "Show off your manliness and convince Serge Ibaka! Basketball is a male animal that is full of competition.
Exercise!”
"Well, Meta, I have to say that sometimes your speech is really...disgusting!" Tang Qian also teased Ci Shiping. He clearly felt that since returning to the team this time, most of the Lakers players
My attitude toward myself has undergone subtle changes.
It seems that there is a little more respect than before...
Compared with the United States, the domestic analysis of this game is even more detailed.
"The difference in average points per game between Kobe and Durant is only 0.1 points. Before the end of the season, either one may win the scoring title!"
"I support KD. After all, he is the scoring champion for two consecutive years. He may win three consecutive championships this year!"
"I still support Kobe. He averaged 35+ per game this season. He is definitely the strongest scorer in the post-Jordan era!"
…
"In the battle between Tang Qian and Serge Ibaka, who do you think you are optimistic about?"
"Of course it's Serge Ibaka. The Congolese hunk is on the same level this year. He averages 3.7 blocks per game, leading the entire league! Although Tang Qian is strong, he's still a little behind!"
"Well, I also support Ibaka, but it's not because Tang Qian is not strong in blocking shots, it's just that Ibaka is a little too strong this season! Anyone comes and it's hard to be even with him! He averages 3.7 blocks per game in 27 minutes.
times, 4.8 blocks in 36 minutes, and 6.5 blocks in 48 minutes. This has reached the level of a monster, okay!"
"Ibaka is indeed very strong, but I am more optimistic about Tang Qian, because Tang Qian plays less time, not even averaging 20 minutes per game, but he can get 3.4 blocks, which is undoubtedly better than Serge Iba.
Isn’t it more efficient to block shots?”
"Yes, I also support Tang Qi. If he plays as many minutes as Ibaka, then his average blocks per game will definitely exceed the latter, which is definitely appropriate!"
"Come on, why are you guys so thick-skinned? You are even more efficient in blocking shots! Please keep your eyes open and take a look at the distribution of playing time between him and Ibaka! A guy who faces him most of the time.
It's the opponent's main lineup, where is the one left? Most of the time, he spends most of his time with the substitute lineup! Is it interesting to compare the average blocks per game like this? Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot. Even so, Tang Squib's average blocks per game
The numbers are still not as good as Serge Ibaka! I’m so sorry.”
"It's 'Tang Qian is a Squib' here. It's true that wherever there is Tang Qian, he can be found. This man is so dedicated!"
"Who says otherwise? He is even more diligent than our Tang Mi!"
"Hey, but to be honest, what he said is not unreasonable!"
…
"How can he be compared to Serge? What a stupid analogy!" Suns starting center Marcin Gortat publicly expressed his support for Thunder Ibaka's bid to become the NBA's season block leader.
"Marchin is right, this is not a combination at the same level at all! There is no comparison at all!" Rockets starting center Samuel Dalembert said in support of Marcin Gortat.
…
"Tang, Sestin and I will go to the Staples Center tonight to help you cheer up!"
"Yeah, hot, come on and compete, kill that Serge Ibaka!"
Since April 22nd is a Sunday in the United States, Sophia and Sestin bought tickets to go to the scene to cheer Tang Qian on.
…
"Oh, mom, don't worry, I won't get hurt so easily~" Tang Qian and Tang's mother and father Tang "promised" before going out.
"Well, don't work too hard. After all, it's just a game of basketball!" Tang's mother touched Tang Qian's head with some distress.
"I know, Mom, I will pay attention to it myself." Tang Qian nodded and said.
PS: The NBA is really going to be turbulent next season. A large number of stars will gather together. Although the lineup looks luxurious, in fact, ordinary teams don’t need to play. There are only a few teams in the league competing! Alas, I hope Xiao Hua can
Control this situation a little, otherwise it will do no good to the NBA over time. After all, every team has star players, which is the way for the healthy development of the league. Otherwise, it will become like MLB, just a few strong players.
It would be embarrassing if one team is competing and the other teams are just sparring partners. By the way, let all city teams "share the interests", that is the future, at least give ordinary teams some hope of competing for the championship.
Okay, everyone, let’s get it right.
The above are all Xiao Zi's personal opinions. Anyway, Xiao Zi believes that a fierce battle between heroes will be more interesting than changing the emperor in a strong team.
