73-81, Tang Qian scored the 12th point of the game, making 6 of 6 shots, with a temporary hit rate of 100%.
The audience sitting behind the commentary box couldn't help shouting loudly: "Hey~Lang~The large jam pizza we promised~Don't forget it~" Grant Long's face turned a little dark, although he had done it before
An NBA player has a total career salary of more than 21 million U.S. dollars, but he couldn't help squandering it when he was young. Otherwise, he wouldn't be eager to come to the Thunder to be a long-term commentator. And the on-site commentator does not have a high salary.
The occupation is only slightly higher than the average annual salary in the United States. This may be good for ordinary people, but if you are a multi-millionaire who has spent a lot of money, it will undoubtedly be a drop in the bucket. Unless you can get into T.N.T or ESPN TV stations,
Otherwise, Grant Long's annual salary can barely support his family.
The Chesapeake Energy Arena, home of the Thunder, has a maximum capacity of 19,599 people, and now that it is the playoffs, the number of people will be more, not less, than this. Rounding off, using 20,000 people as a base, a cheap
A large jam pizza costs about US$7 to US$8. If you buy 20,000 copies, you will definitely get a discount. Counting US$5 each, 20,000 copies is US$10,000. This is equivalent to Grant Long’s salary for one and a half years without eating or drinking.
.
But if he breaks his promise, the fans will definitely boo him all night long until he buys it or resigns. Americans can definitely do this kind of thing. They have a strong sense of credibility and commitment.
Very seriously.
It’s all this damn Asian’s fault!!! If it wasn’t for him, how could he have been so unlucky???
In an instant, Grant Lang's eyes turned "eerie" when he looked at Tang Qian.
But he also didn't want to think about it. If he hadn't "pretended to be" in front of the audience, how could he have been slapped in the face by Tang Qian?
In the final analysis, it is all his own problem. It is not unreasonable for the ancient Chinese to say that disaster comes from the mouth.
"Can that kind of ball be thrown in?" Defender Ibaka was a little stunned, because this kind of thing was really beyond his expectation. "It's okay, Serge, it's just good luck. This is what we all have
You can see that." James Harden patted Serge Ibaka on the shoulder and comforted him.
"Yes, this kind of ball may not appear once in ten games. You don't need to blame yourself." Kevin Durant nodded in agreement.
Seeing that his teammates were so "generous", Ibaka felt a little better. He said: "I understand, I will work harder to defend the next ball. Don't worry, everyone!"
"Well, with this drive, tonight's victory can only belong to the Thunder and us Oklahomans!" Westbrook also said.
This is the cohesion and self-confidence of the Thunder this season. After several seasons of hard work, they have shown the edge of a strong team.
Kobe defended another Westbrook ball, but it was obvious that this extremely high-intensity defense took a huge toll on Kobe's physical energy. If Tang Qian hadn't temporarily taken on the offensive burden, Kobe wouldn't have even been able to do it.
I feel like I can't sustain the whole game.
Poor personal physical condition + time is not forgiving + the target of defense is Westbrook, which gradually makes the Black Mamba show his long-lost fatigue.
Gasol got the backcourt rebound and then handed it to Ramon Sessions to advance forward.
"Don't try to dribble past!" Just as Sessions was about to advance towards the Thunder's frontcourt, Russell Westbrook suddenly stood in front of him. That kind of strong defensive pressure and star momentum made him
Sessions' dribbling suddenly came to a standstill.
"Give it to me!" After hearing this voice, Sessions looked happy, as if he had seen a life-saving straw, and immediately passed the basketball in his hand to him without hesitation. The person who wanted the ball was Kobe. He did this,
They are also forced to have no choice. If the ball they worked so hard to defend is intercepted by the opponent, wouldn't it be a waste of a lot of stamina?
In order to avoid this situation, Kobe transformed into the No. 1 position and began to dribble the ball himself through the half.
This is the epitome of this series for the Lakers. Ramon Sessions's inability to be used to great effect was exposed without any cover in this series. This is why the Lakers later let him go.
One of the reasons. Otherwise, with the financial resources of the Lakers, there would be no problem at all in keeping him as a substitute.
"Come on, Bryant, I have to guard you with this ball!" James Harden bent his knees and stretched out his arms, looking like he was seriously defending. His attitude was completely different from his later attitude in Rocket City. But why did this happen?
What kind of change? I'm afraid it's not just attitude, but also personal ability. While James Harden maintains a large amount of offensive output, he can no longer ensure seriousness and concentration on the defensive end at the same time. This is also the basic reason why his upper limit is limited.
One of the factors. If a star cannot even win the best defensive team once in his career, then no matter how strong he is offensively, he can only be a superstar with shortcomings. What's more, as far as Tang Qian's memory is concerned, until the 15-16 season,
Harden is just a league superstar, not even a flawed superstar.
This season, Kobe has no eyes for Harden at all. The so-called top three points in the league, the latter is not even qualified to sit in the lineup.
Kobe glanced at his opponent, was too lazy to talk nonsense, and directly lobbed the ball to the inside.
"Bryant? You actually passed the ball? Are you afraid to play one-on-one with me?" Harden was a little surprised when he saw Kobe passing the ball one-on-one. Because since Michael Jordan, traditional points have been
A strong person has a hidden habit, that is, in one-on-one situations, he generally does not choose to pass the ball, but only does it himself.
This is paranoia, stubbornness, and the "glory of shortcomings" in the traditional position.
In Kobe's long career, he has always done this. Even when facing Joe God, he would not flinch in a one-on-one situation. But tonight, one-on-one, he chose to pass the ball.
The ball went out, which made Harden feel a little confused.
James Harden was born in 1989 and is only in his early 20s, so he doesn’t understand the magic of Father Time. But what about Kobe? He is almost 11 years older than Harden, so he has to do a lot of things to a certain extent.
Changed. Of course, if Kobe was still in his 20s now, he would definitely kill his opponent without any discussion. There is no doubt about this.
"No. 29 of the Lakers got the ball again. What does he want to do? Does he still want to hit Ibaka hard?" Thunder on-site commentator Brian Davis said.
"Hmph, I think this kid is just looking for death. The lucky ball won't appear twice at the same time!" Grant Long, who was about to "hemorrhage heavily", said into the microphone "sinfully".
"Oh~ My God~ China has scored again? How did he do it? What kind of hook shape is that? Did you create it yourself?" I saw Tang Qian scoring another "ceiling" in front of Ibaka.
Brian Davis couldn't hold back the hook shot and exclaimed in surprise.
Damn it, this damn Chinaman! He made me look embarrassed again! What a bastard!!!
Grant Long "crazily cursed" Tang Qiandao in his heart.
75-81, Tang Qian added another 2-pointer for the Lakers.
What? Why did he score again? How could a ball like that have a hit rate???
Defender Ibaka was a little confused, but confusion and forcing can't change the reality, because if the ball is scored, it is scored.
The pressure on the Thunder's offensive end has suddenly increased, because Durant + Westbrook + Harden are all outside players. Their shooting percentage and success rate are definitely not as good as those of inside players. If this Chinese has been
If it feels so good, then...
In order to improve the success rate of scoring, Durant started to start a pick-and-roll. Ibaka ran up to pick-and-roll with him. The former passed Ci Shiping and went straight to the Lakers' basket. Logically speaking, this ball
It is no longer possible to resist. The Thunder's athletic ability and vitality are the strongest in the league. After Durant rushes up, with his height, leaping and wingspan, it is difficult to block the opponent's inside line.
he.
Tang Qian's competitive state has dropped a bit tonight. No, even if his competitive state is 100%, 120%, it can't stop Kevin Durant's goal. The league's scoring leader is still the three-consecutive scoring leader. This kind of
What kind of strength can ordinary people imagine? If he is not a super defensive insider, he can basically ignore him.
However, as the team's inside center, Tang Qian had no chance of escaping and had no choice but to bite the bullet.
As a center, it is your duty to block him even if you can't block him.
Durant glanced at Tang Qian in front of him, and quickly filtered it out, because for him, even if the Lakers' insider is Andrew Bynum, that's no problem. It is absolutely impossible to stop him.
The impact!
This is the self-confidence of the three-consecutive scoring champion, who is invincible and invincible.
Lakers? You can't do it anymore! Your time has passed!
The future belongs to our Thunder team!
Just when Durant collected the ball and was about to start, a black figure suddenly emerged from an oblique angle, and then stood squarely in Durant's path. Who was he?
He is No. 24 of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant!
In order to win, to win, this man is willing to do anything!
Durant wanted to change his route, but he forgot that he was "Du Qiqi". He was too tall, which caused too much inertia in his actions. Especially at this time of acceleration, he wanted to evade in an instant and avoid Kobe's attack.
The positioning was simply impossible. So next, he hit the Lakers No. 24 hard. The referee blew the whistle and the Thunder No. 35 hit someone with the ball and received an offensive foul.
The ball was transferred to the Los Angeles Lakers.
"Well done, Bryant!" Ci Shiping and Gasol ran over and stretched out their hands to pull up Kobe.
Kevin Durant looked at No. 24 on the opposite side and was a little shocked, because "hard work" such as drawing offensive fouls and hitting people with the ball is usually the job of role players. Which star would do it?
Not only is it painful and tiring, it's also easy to get injured and lose your job. At least he, Kevin Durant, rarely does this.
The game continued to advance, and the Lakers still used "simple tactics" to pass the ball to Tang Qian for a single.
This is in line with the NBA's offensive practices, because Tang Qian has made 7 of 7 shots so far and has never missed a shot. A 100% shooting rate is the best offensive guarantee. The biggest difference between European basketball and American basketball is here.
After a European basketball player scores consecutive goals, the next ball may be a fixed tactical ball. No matter whether you feel good or not, you have to pass it, otherwise the head coach will definitely scold you. But here in the United States,
It's different. If you feel good but don't shoot, it means you don't dare to take on offensive responsibilities, which means you play sloppily. The United States believes more in "state and feel", while Europe prefers "tactics and fixed coordination."
When Mike Brown saw this, he didn't say much, because now in the entire Lakers team, No. 29 does have the best touch and the best offensive condition. He takes the ball and shoots, and there is nothing wrong with it. But there is one problem, the "state of the bench players"
"And feel", how long can it last? Can it last until the end of the game?
"Chinaman, I don't believe you can still get in!" Serge Ibaka shouted angrily behind Tang Qian. Judging from his appearance, he was obviously stimulated by Tang Qian's offensive performance tonight. "You
If you don’t believe it, you have to believe it, because my hand feels so good tonight.” After Tang Qian finished speaking, using the same hook method, the basketball threw a weird arc, and then accurately and hollowly fell into the Thunder’s basket.
basket.
77-81, the Thunder team was completely dumbfounded, because the way the Chinese scored was unacceptable.
It was as if every ball was a lucky ball, but he hit it eight times in a row!
The inconsistency between subjectivity and objectivity makes the Thunder players' minds a little confused.
In this case, Harden missed Sessions alone. After the Lakers grabbed the rebound, Kobe went down alone and dunked easily, scoring another 2 points.
79-81, facing another small climax from the Lakers, Thunder coach Scott Brooks immediately called a timeout. At this moment in the fourth quarter, there were less than 3 minutes left.
