Chapter 288: Unexpected score points in a 6,000-word chapter~
"What is this Chinese doing? He wants to shoot a three-pointer???" Thunder team commentator Brian Davis said in surprise.
"Stupid shot choice! Definitely a stupid shot choice!" Grant Landau next to him: "We know his range very well. He is not accurate even far away in the penalty area, let alone shooting 3-pointers? I bet on this
After the ball, Mike Brown had to replace him, because his shot selection was really too bad!"
The facts were right as Grant Long guessed. When he saw that Tang Qian was actually going to take a 3-pointer, Mike Brown's face suddenly became angry. He immediately stood on the bench and shouted loudly: "Damn it! China is hot!"
What are you doing? Stop right now, stop, pass the ball!" While saying this, he also ordered the assistant coach behind him: "Mark, go to the technical desk to apply immediately, we need to make a substitution, I want to make a substitution!!
!”
But Mike Brown had just finished yelling these words, and he was stunned with a "swipe" sound. He blinked his small eyes, and then asked Mark Madsen behind him: "Mark, that three-pointer, scored
Already?"
"That's right, Mr. Brown, the hot shot went in." Assistant coach Mark Madsen nodded and said.
"Yes~!" Mike Brown suddenly waved his fist and said: "It seems that God has not abandoned us tonight, right, Mark?"
"Maybe~" Mark Madsen said: "Then do you still need to apply for a substitution? Mr. Brown?"
"Forget it, let's wait and see." Mike Brown shook his head.
80-84, the score difference is still 4 points.
"No, I didn't expect him to actually put it in. This is really good luck. Jesus bless you~" Grant Long said with some embarrassment. After all, the feeling of being slapped in the face is not a good one. "It's just good luck."
Brian Davis said without changing his tone: "There will always be a few lucky balls like this in a game, so don't take it to heart, Grant."
Seeing Brian Davis give himself a step up, Grant Long immediately went down the ramp: "Well, this is the charm of basketball, you will never guess the next scene!"
"Good luck~hot~" Ci Shiping patted Tang Qiandao when he returned to defense.
The Thunder did not pay much attention to Tang Qian's three-pointer. As Brian Davis said, it was just a "lucky ball." There is no need to delve deeper and take it more seriously. From the head coach to
Everyone thinks this way about the water cooler bench, even the Lakers on the other side have similar ideas.
China Hot Shot scored a three-pointer? Oh~ good luck~
Kobe blocked another Westbrook ball-handling attack, but it could be seen that the Black Mamba's body was a little tired.
In the regular season, he was severely beaten. **** A season ago, the last round of the series was also beaten. **** 40+ playing time. In this round, Mike Brown has intensified his efforts, pushing Kobe's average playing time even further.
has increased, and it has now reached a situation of 42+. For an athlete who is about to be 34 years old, the physical burden and load should not be too great.
To be honest, if Kobe was required to attack a lot and at the same time be very intense in guarding, he could hardly support the amount of physical energy consumed. Tang Qian still remembers this game. At the last moment, Kobe lost his physical strength due to lack of physical fitness.
, the offense and defense were completely disintegrated. Not only was Westbrook unable to be restrained, but the offensive end was too exhausted and continued to play hard, directly ruining the Lakers and ruining his reputation as a key player.
Once upon a time, Kobe Bryant was synonymous with "Mr. Clutch." When he got the ball in the fourth quarter, no team dared to say that he wasn't nervous or scared. But after this series, Kobe's key abilities began to deteriorate.
, or in other words, while insisting on integrating offense and defense, he had lost the super physical fitness he was once proud of in the fourth quarter.
Without the guarantee of physical fitness, even God Qiao would be in a mess. He would fight even though he was sick and injured, and his performance could still be extraordinary. Those are always rare cases and cannot be generalized. As for Tang Qian, he was once
The "Four Sections" became the "Three Sections", which can ensure the efficiency of the three quarters and the integration of offense and defense in the three quarters. However, in the last quarter, it has no energy and the battery needs to be recharged.
But Tang Qian knows how to solve this problem, but the premise is that Kobe himself needs to wake up and wake up.
But now is not the time to think about this. Tang Qian's goal on the field is to win, to seize victory. All ideas will be discussed after the game is over. He ran "slowly and leisurely" to the last one again, and then just like before,
Exactly the same, same place, open three-point shot.
"Is this Chinese crazy? He actually shoots three-pointers again? Does he think lucky shots are his true strength???"
"He has been carried away! The lucky ball just now injected arrogance and arrogance into this Asian! He will soon be awakened by reality, and then become a drowned rat in a panic!"
The two Thunder home commentators spoke loudly and authentically together, like experienced "veteran drivers", and their words were full of affirmation. But unfortunately, tonight they are both destined to be slapped in the face.
A hard slap in the face!
Brush~
Another 3-pointer~
Accurate, stabbed into the Thunder's basket~
"Again? Go in again? Did the Chinese get hit by the goddess of luck tonight? I can't believe my eyes! You have to know that he is an inside player who averaged 2.9 points per game in the regular season!" Thunder team
The commentator paused for a while before speaking, the shock in his tone was palpable.
83-84, only one point was left in an instant.
This is the power of the three-point shot, a powerful tool for chasing points. If the opponent cannot score in one round, the 6-point difference will disappear immediately.
What the Lakers lack most this season is three-point shooters and three-point turrets. In the past, there was an "old fish" Fisher, but now Sessions, don't even think about it. He can arouse the desire to attack, Lakers fans
Even thank God. That's why the Thunder can be so unscrupulous in attacking Kobe because the Lakers have almost no stable shooting ability from the outside. Maybe you can't believe it, the Lakers players who average more than 2+ three-pointers per game have the highest shooting percentage.
It turned out to be Ci Shiping. Yes, you are not blinded. So far in this series, it is indeed Ci Shiping who has the best three-point shooting percentage. And as a team, the one with the best three-point shooting percentage
Ci Shiping is a person, so it can be seen how lacking this team's long-range shooting ability is. After all, in this regular season, Ci Shiping's three-pointers were less than 30%, only 29.6%.
And he has become the Lakers' "three-point king" in this series. Isn't it ridiculous to say that?
By the way, Kobe's three-point shooting percentage in this series is currently 10.1%, which is just over 10%, which is very "terrible".
The degradation of long-range shooting ability is also one of the signs of the Lakers' decline on the 24th, because Kobe's shooting method is inherited from Joe's two-motion.shot, which is the so-called two-stage shot. The most obvious feature of this kind of shooting is
There will be a large pause time in mid-air. Needless to say, the advantage is that it is suitable for strong attacks and difficult attacks. It also gives you an extra chance to stay in the air and adjust during the confrontation. However, this shooting method is not something that ordinary people can learn.
Looking at the entire league, there are very few players who can do two-stage shooting well, let alone those who are as routine, habitual and memorized as Kobe. But everything has its advantages and disadvantages. The perfect two-stage shot
It requires more physical fitness, strength, confrontation, staying in the air, balance, etc., all of which are indispensable, and the consumption of physical energy is much greater than ordinary shooting, so once the athletes get older, their physical fitness declines or their physical fitness is exhausted, they will use this kind of shooting.
The shooting method and shooting percentage will see a huge decline.
After all, there is still a gap between Black Mamba and God, both in personality and body.
Qiao Shen can maintain this shooting style until he is 40 years old. When he is 34 to 35 years old, his performance is almost the same as at his peak. This is undoubtedly something that Kobe cannot do. Kobe Bryant can definitely compete with Qiao Shen at his peak in terms of physical fitness.
Duan is not at a disadvantage, but in terms of the rate of aging and the degree of body decline, there is a huge gap between his body and Qiao Shen's body.
This is the difference between a first-class body and a top body in history. It is natural and Kobe cannot change this.
No matter how hard he tried, it was useless.
When shooting a three-pointer with a two-stage shot, the speed of decline and the feeling of decline are the most prominent.
Kobe's overall shot strength gradually failed to keep up with the need for shooting range.
So Tang Qian remembers very clearly that at the end of Kobe Bryant's career, his three-point shooting percentage was almost on a downward trend.
Right now, the signs are just beginning to appear.
In fact, except for the "reflection" next season, Kobe's three-point shooting percentage this season has fallen to the lowest point of his career, 30.3%. Except for 26.7% in 98-99 and 25% in 01-02, this is
The worst year. In the playoffs, the decline is even more clear. Throughout the playoffs until now, Kobe's 3-point shooting percentage is less than 30%, only about 28%. All this vaguely shows that the Black Mamba
The aging has already begun.
Therefore, the Los Angeles Lakers at this time are a "3-point poor team". The most stable person is Steve Blake in the regular season, and charity, world, and peace in the playoffs. This is in a league where small ball is prevalent.
, it’s almost the only one. That’s why the Thunder don’t defend much outside their own three-point line.
To put it bluntly, they underestimate the Lakers' three-point shooting ability.
But at this time, Tang Qian stepped forward and scored two three-pointers, quickly helping the Lakers stay alive.
"Serge, you can expand the defense later. Kendrick inside is enough to fight against the injured Spaniard." Thunder head coach Scott Brooks directed the on-court command.
The Thunder attacked, and Kevin Durant hit a three-pointer from a 45-degree angle from the left, and the basketball hit the net.
83-87, he is worthy of being the league's three consecutive scoring champions. It is easy to score points.
"Damn it, how can this guy be so accurate!" Defender Ci Shiping yelled and ran towards the frontcourt.
The Lakers attacked, and Tang Qian slowly ran to the end, and then looked for Ramon Sessions, who was holding the ball, to pass the basketball. "Don't even think about scoring this ball again! Chinaman!" Seeing Tang Qian,
As soon as he got the ball, Serge Ibaka rushed out from the inside and roared loudly.
However, Tang Qian didn't even look at him and directly raised his hand to shoot. This distance was half a meter away from the three-point line. Ordinary outside players would not dare to mess around in this position. But No. 29 of the Lakers,
That's it.
Both decisive and straightforward.
So far? It will definitely not go in! Serge Ibaka subconsciously judged based on his basketball experience.
"Protect the rebound, Kendrick!"
However, the reality is so cruel. The sound of a basketball hitting the net is like a silent slap in the face, hitting the Congolese people in the face.
Red and swollen.
"Here, this Chinese scored another three-pointer? Does he have the ability to score three-pointers?" Facing three consecutive three-pointers, the Thunder commentators were almost in a state of confusion, because no matter how they looked at it,
This doesn't seem like luck. Including the head coach of the Thunder, he also readjusted the on-court tactics and increased the long-distance marking of Lakers No. 29.
86-87, still one point difference.
Going back and overtaking is victory, otherwise there is no difference between being behind by one point and being behind by 100 points in basketball.
Westbrook shot, and Kobe tried his best to guard him. Kobe did not hold the ball in these rounds, so it was obvious that he was not so stretched on the physical end. This is a good thing for the Lakers, but for the Thunder and Westbrook
, it didn't look so beautiful. With a "dang" sound, Westbrook shot and the basketball hit the basket.
"Rebound~" Kobe turned around and shouted loudly, because tonight, the Lakers' rebounding was really not reassuring.
Fortunately, Gasol was strong enough to withstand the interference of Kendrick Perkins and protect the backcourt rebound. Otherwise, with Tang Qian's current competitive state, it would be almost impossible to steal Sergei Yi.
Bacca's. The Lakers have another chance to overtake the score. As long as this ball can be scored, the disadvantage will be completely eliminated.
"Ramon~ Pass it to me~" Tang Qian got the basketball again. With the previous experience, the Thunder players inexplicably tensed up slightly.
It should be impossible for him to come again, right? Otherwise...
Before the Thunder fans had finished thinking, Tang Qian made another shooting motion, as if he didn't care about the defender in front of him at all.
"Shi.t~ You can't make another shot with this ball!" Seeing Tang Qian ignore him and directly hit the opponent, Serge Ibaka was furious, his mind became hot, and he rushed towards Tang Qian. No wonder
If Ibaka is like this, he will be shot from three by a center who averages 2.9 points per game. How can he lose face? Therefore, he must be blocked and let the opponent know how powerful he is!
The above is the voice of Serge Ibaka, but he really overestimated Tang Qian. The bronze 3-point card can only support 3 3-point shots in a game, and the large 3-pointer just now
The "quota" for the ball has been exhausted. So for Tang Qian now, if you don't guard him and give him ten seconds to aim, then 99% of him will not be able to make this three-pointer.
But the problem is, if Tang Qian doesn't tell, no one will know.
Serge Ibaka was "innocently" fooled.
Why does Tang Qian still shoot from outside the three-point line without the blessing of the bronze 3-point card? The answer will be revealed soon!
Beep beep~
Thunder team No. 9, the thug fouled, Lakers No. 29, three free throws!
Tang Qian tricked Ibaka into taking a foul free throw.
And he still made three free throws.
Ibaka, who received his fourth personal foul, was extremely angry, because in his mind, the foul was still a small matter. The key was that he was deceived by this Asian guy. This was the main reason for his anger.
I was actually cheated of three free throws by a guy who averaged 2.9 points per game? This is really unforgivable!!!
Serge Ibaka looked at Tang Qian, his eyes almost bursting with fire.
"Thank you, kind-hearted Congolese." Tang Qian walked past Ibaka and said with a stab.
"Damn it! You cunning Chinese guy! You are such a bad free throw, can you make it?" Ibaka's face turned red, and he frowned and said. "Please, Mr. Ibaka, your
The free throw shooting percentage is only about 66%, right? If it was last season, you could still teach me a lesson. This season, I think it will be exempted. We are only the same, and you are not much better than me." Tang Qian countered.
After a mouthful of words, he walked to the Thunder's free throw line.
But if we really want to take it seriously, the Congolese man's free throw shooting is actually much better than Tang Qian's.
66%? That is a very gratifying free throw shooting rate for Tang Qian now! After all, he is still hovering around 50%, right? With a shooting rate of more than 65%, Tang Qian can already chuckle.
Tang Qian waited for a long time before taking every free throw. After three free throws, the audience almost fell asleep.
"The Chinese's preparation time for free throws is really long. Is there anyone in the league who takes longer than him?" Thunder on-site commentator Brian Davis asked. "Probably not. Such a long time is enough."
I'm going to have a cup of coffee and a hot dog!" Partner Grant Long also said.
Tang Qian made 2 of 3 free throws. Tang Qian was very satisfied with the result. It seemed that his "free throw luck" tonight was his "real luck".
88-87, the Lakers overtook the score again.
This time, the Thunder team became a little turbulent and impatient again. The offensive end became more and more simple, and they all fell into individual singles. In this way, the Lakers became more courageous and more organized as they fought.
94-88, there was no other way, Thunder head coach Scott Brooks could only call a timeout.
To be honest, he didn't expect this situation before the game.
The Lakers suddenly came out with Cheng Yaojin!
Scott Brooks wanted to appease the impatience of his players, but the effect was very little. In fact, why did the Thunder lose by a big score in this year's finals? In addition to lack of experience, the ups and downs of mentality are also a major factor. Young people
The team's mental shortcomings are on full display. Looking at the Heat, their desire for a championship has reached the point where it doesn't target anyone. Many people in the outside world even say that if the Big Three don't win the championship this time, they will be disbanded next season.
, going their separate ways, even if it is a certainty. Because of this huge pressure from public opinion, the Big Three of Miami will be breathless.
Tonight, the Thunder's problems surfaced again, which finally gave the Lakers a chance to counterattack their opponents.
This was the case with the Thunder in the 2011-2012 season. It was easy to make mistakes in key ball handling, and the Lakers only needed to seize the opponent's mistakes and counterattack. For a long time, San Antonio people have dealt with the talented Oklahoma City like this.
human.
The Lakers followed suit tonight, and they just learned the same thing.
The next game started to become one-sided. After Kobe rested for a while, he once again attacked with the ball. His efficiency was much improved compared to the previous game. He made 2 of 4 shots from the field and shot 50% from the field.
The Thunder's hopes of a comeback.
The final score was fixed at 101-95. Kobe scored 42 points in this game. With a shooting percentage of close to 55%, he taught both Thunder players a good lesson. Tang Qian's statistics in this game were a bit "weird".
The shooting percentage was 100%, 1 2-pointer, 3 3-pointers, and 2 of 3 free throws. He scored 13 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 assist. No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like an inside player.
The data is more like the performance of an outside player.
But only Tang Qian knew that he had changed history. Although it was only a small step, he had indeed succeeded in changing it.
The Lakers, who were supposed to be eliminated 1-4 in memory, actually won here and turned the big score into 2-3.
This feeling, no one in the whole world can understand.
Okay, let's work hard to equalize the score and then kill the opponent.
Tang Qian looked at the cheering Lakers players and thought to himself.
But he ultimately underestimated the power of "historical inertia". The more you change, the greater and stronger its counter-pressure will be.
But tonight, what the Lakers team has to do is to enjoy the victory and the joy of not being eliminated.
With a big score of 2-3, the series entered the sixth game and returned to the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
