"Today in history, challenge tasks, challenge data, April 22, 1990, Holt Rod Williams, 20 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist and 5 blocks." When Tang Qian drew this challenge goal
Then, with a thought in his mind, he slightly said: "Five blocks? It seems that tonight we are destined to compete for the number of blocks."
"Sergey Ibaka..."
ESPN Live Room.
"Good evening, all fans and friends, I am Rachel Nix, the commentator for this game."
"The guests coming to the scene tonight are former Cavaliers star Mr. Brad Doherty, and our old friend the 'Smiling Assassin' Isiah Thomas. Welcome both of you." Rachel Knicks
After introducing the guests skillfully, he continued: "The Los Angeles Lakers, with a current record of 40 wins and 24 losses, are ranked third in the Western Conference. The Oklahoma City Thunder, with a current record of 46 wins and 17 losses, are ranked second in the Western Conference.
.And according to the predictions of our ESPN colleagues, if the two teams break through the first round of the playoffs at the same time, then they will meet head-on in the second round. This game can be said to be a lot to watch! The two gentlemen think
Woolen cloth?"
"Yes, Lakers VS Thunder, this is a very eye-catching game. Both teams are strong teams in the Western Conference this year, so the competition should be very exciting." Isiah Thomas was the first to speak.
"Well, I wonder if you two gentlemen have a favorite team tonight?" Rachel Nix asked an old-fashioned question.
"I'm optimistic about the Lakers," Isiah Thomas said.
"I'm optimistic about the Thunder," Brad Doherty said.
"It seems that the two gentlemen have different opinions." Rachel Nix said: "Then please explain the reasons for your choice."
"My reason is simple. The Lakers have Kobe on the outside and the Twin Towers on the inside, and their lineup is stronger than the Thunder." Isiah Thomas said.
"The Lakers have Kobe Bryant on the outside? Don't the Thunder have superstars on the outside? I don't think Kevin Durant is inferior to Kobe Bryant! As for the so-called twin towers, they are all just appearances. Look at what they are.
The results against the Thunder this season make it clear that Oklahomans are not afraid of the Lakers' insides at all!" Brad Doherty objected.
"Oh, Brad, do you think Durant is a player of Kobe's level?" Isiah Thomas asked the opponent.
"In terms of peak ability, it is naturally inferior. But don't forget, Kobe is about to be 34 years old now. If he competes with Durant in terms of strength at this age, I don't think he can take up much of it.
Cheap." Brad Doherty also answered decisively.
"Okay, now that we've said it, let's discuss the competition between Kobe and Durant for the scoring title this season." Rachel Knicks is very good at introducing topics, and she doesn't seem abrupt at all.
"I choose Kobe."
"I choose Durant."
The personal opinions of Isiah Thomas and Brad Doherty are at odds again.
"Please tell me your reasons," Rachel Nix said.
"On the topic of scoring ability, do we still need to argue? In the post-Jordan era, I don't think anyone can surpass him in this aspect."
"Isiah, your statement is too one-sided." Brad Doherty said: "I don't deny Kobe Bryant's super scoring ability. If this question was asked four years ago, I wouldn't even think about it.
I think, besides Michael, I will definitely choose him decisively. But this season, I don’t think he can beat Kevin Durant, who is ten years younger. Don’t forget Isiah. Before this season, Kevin Durant
Vin Durant has won two consecutive scoring trophies, and his scoring ability is definitely the best among the new generation!"
"Oh, it seems that there is a dispute between the two." Rachel Nix said: "Then let me ask the last question. Do you two have any opinions on who will be the leader in blocks this season?"
"Block leader? Do I need to say more about this? Who can compete with Serge Ibaka in this category this season? He averaged 3.7 blocks per game, leading the entire league."
"Ha~ It's too early for you to say this, Brad, because there is such a character in the Lakers. His average blocks per game this season is close to Serge Ibaka!"
Hearing Isiah Thomas's words, Brad Doherty was slightly startled and asked: "Who is it? I remember that the second place in the blocking list only averaged 2.2 blocks per game!"
"Your information is out of date, Brad. This is the latest block data list. Come and take a look." Isiah Thomas pushed the tablet in his hand to Brad Doherty and said.
Brad Doherty took it and took a look. On the 2011-2012 season's blocked shot list, at some point, a strange name appeared, called Hot Money.
"Hot money, averaging 3.4 blocks per game!? How come this guy hasn't been seen on the list before?" Brad Doherty asked.
"It's very simple, that's because he was not eligible to be on the list before, so of course you can't find his name on the list." Isiah Thomas said.
"Not qualified to be on the list? What's going on?" Brad Doherty was a little confused.
"Because he joined the Lakers midway, his attendance rate was not enough to be on the shot-blocking list. But a few days ago, his season blocks exceeded 123 times, so according to the league's selection rules, he can get on the list.
Qualified." Isiah Thomas patiently explained.
"A player who joined midway? Who is he?" Brad Doherty has never paid much attention to the Lakers, so it is normal for him to not know about it for a while.
"His name is Hot Money, and he has blocked 132 shots this season."
"Hot money?" Brad Doherty looked down at the tablet, and then said with some surprise: "He is Chinese?"
…
Domestically, there is also a lot of attention on this game, especially Tang Qian's fans, who almost started to "fight" with Ibaka's fans.
The battle for the shot-blocking king is of great concern to the Chinese people.
After all, even Yao Ming back then was incompatible with being the king of NBA individual rankings.
No, it should be said that I have never obtained such a qualification.
But today Tang Qian won such an opportunity. This made the domestic fans nervous and excited.
There are many discussion threads about this matter on major basketball forums and basketball forums.
"Support Tang Qian to win the NBA shot-blocking title! The fact that the Chinese can reach this level is considered a success!"
"Same support! Tang Ji, come back as the NBA shot-blocking champion~"
"Kill Ibaka and win the shot-blocking king!"
This is a message from an optimistic fan.
"Although I also want Tang Qian to win the NBA shot-blocking title this season, we can't underestimate our opponents. Ibaka averaged 3.7 blocks per game this year, which is considered a peak in recent years. Tang Qian wants to surpass it."
In the past, the difficulty was not that great!"
"Yes, Tang Qian is still 0.3 blocks behind the opponent, but with this game, the Lakers only have 2 games left. Tang Qian's task is very arduous!"
This is a message from a rational fan.
"It's impossible. Do you think Ibaka is a vegetarian? Especially after this game has been exaggerated before the game, Ibaka will definitely not show weakness and will definitely show 100% of his strength. In this way, Tang Qian will have almost no chance.
The odds are good!"
"Yes, Tang Qian's performance is already very eye-catching, but he has encountered Ibaka, who is cheating this season. If he wants to win the shot-blocking title, the chance is only 10% to 20%!"
"It's all gone. I came through time and space and I'll tell you the answer. Tang Qian suffered a disastrous defeat and Ibaka won the championship for the season!"
This is a message from a negative fan.
All in all, whether you like Tang Qian or not, today's game attracted many eyes.
The battle for the scoring title.
The battle for the shot-blocking king.
A fight between dragons and tigers is about to take place.
