The competitive status of this game has decreased by 12%.
"Is it you, yellow guy? Are you going to shoot three-pointers outside again in this game?" Nazr Muhammad also wanted to try to provoke Tang Qiandao, but the latter was not the nunnery owner, so he just smiled and said: "You care about me
What are you doing, black guy, no matter if I go outside or inside, I'll blow you up, there's no problem at all, Do.you.uand?"
"Are you confident?" Nazr Muhammad did not expect Tang Qian's answer to be so direct, and his face darkened as he said, "But I won't let you do it!"
"Really? That's not up to you." Tang Qian said: "No matter how bad I am, if I suppress you, there will still be no problem."
Tang Qian said this, and he was definitely not arrogant. If it was Nazr Mohammed last season, he would not dare to say so full, but this season, it is completely a small case! Because Nazr Muhammad this season
Hammoud has really deteriorated a lot compared to last season. Last season he was close to 7+5, but this season he dropped directly to 2+2. The Thunder dropped so fast that the Thunder couldn't believe it.
So even if his competitive status dropped by 12%, he still has considerable confidence against opponents of this level.
In the remaining time of the first quarter, Tang Qian fulfilled his promise and completely suppressed Nazr Mohammed at the basket. As a result, the Thunder's rebounds suddenly lost control. In the whole three minutes, only one was scored.
.With a lot of rebounds, the Lakers recovered a lot of points.
25-30, this was the score of the two teams in the first quarter. The Lakers were temporarily 5 points behind.
Tang Qian got 4 rebounds and 1 block in this quarter. Kobe worked hard in the second half and got 10 points, 1 rebound and 1 steal. Gasol followed with 6 rebounds and 7 points. The Thunder still had 10 points, 1 rebound and 1 steal.
As usual, the Thunder's two young men took most of the team's scoring, with Durant 8 points and Westbrook 8 points.
There is a hidden message here, that is, Kobe's defensive pressure is getting weaker and weaker.
Obviously, as the series progresses, the Black Mamba's physical upper limit begins to gradually decrease.
In order to maintain the offensive aspect, the Black Mamba can only give up part of the defense. This situation was extremely rare in previous playoffs. But in future games, it has become the norm. The so-called "Command Traffic Section" will slowly
Appear slowly.
In the second quarter of the game, the Thunder strengthened their defensive intensity against the Lakers and increased the pace of the game, which immediately made the Los Angeles people feel uncomfortable. Coupled with Derek Fisher's two consecutive three-pointers, the Thunder also
The Lakers felt suffocated. As for the Lakers, the offensive end was once again unable to open up. The Thunder's super rotating defense prevented the Lakers from finding open shots.
Don't think that NBA games are all about physical combat, one-on-ones, and forced shots for most of the game. If you study the scoring probability of the entire game, in fact, the so-called "pan-open shots" or "pan-opportunity shots"
It's the big head, the main part. Wonderful shots are always in the minority. They are only a small part of more than 80 shots.
How did the "Hulk" Celtics become the strongest defensive team in NBA history, with few blocks and few steals?
It relies on the ability to compress the opponent's "pan-open shots" and "pan-opportunity shots". If a game allows the opponent to shoot with "no open space" or "no opportunity", then the opponent's shooting percentage will naturally drop.
, this is the defensive mechanism of the "Green Devil", which extremely exploits the "open spaces and opportunities" when you attack, reduces "easy ball", and makes every opponent's shot as difficult as possible.
Of course, the Thunder cannot reach the level of the "Green Army", but relying on their super physical fitness and young physical fitness, they cut off nearly half of the Lakers' "vacancies and opportunities" tonight. In this way, the Lakers
It is inevitable that the team's offense will become more and more difficult. Kobe scored 8 points with great difficulty, but his opponent quickly scored 16 points. The difficulty of such an offense cannot be compared between the two.
Both Thunder players broke out, especially Russell Westbrook. The shackles on his body finally became loose. How could he miss such an opportunity? So he took the opportunity to attack and attacked in large numbers, beating the Lakers more and more.
The Lakers had to parry more and more frequently, and the degree of injuries inside was very serious. In the entire second quarter, including Tang Qian, the Lakers fouled 6 times inside, Gasol 3 times, and he 6 times. If you add Ci Shiping's fouls,
There were a total of 8 fouls. A large number of fouls means a large number of free throws. However, the Thunder's free throws tonight were extremely accurate, making 12 of 12 free throws. They were not polite to the Lakers at all.
At the end of the entire second quarter, the score was 40-59, and the Lakers were 19 points behind.
The cheering atmosphere of the fans at the scene also gradually dimmed.
Tang Qian played very average in the second quarter. After the Thunder replaced Ibaka + Perkins, he and Gasol did not take advantage. Instead, due to his own competitive state and Gasol's foot injury,
, was restrained at every turn and bullied at every step. Obviously, the morale and state of the entire Thunder team were up tonight, so Serge Ibaka and Kendrick Perkins both played better than they did in the regular season.
Strength.
It's natural that Tang Qian and Gasol were suppressed.
After all, there is no mercy among insiders. If you are not good enough, you will only be bullied.
If Kobe hadn't been scoring alone, it would have been almost a foregone conclusion that the Lakers would have been directly defeated in this quarter.
Now, it is just hanging on for a breath, with no momentum to win at all.
Tang Qian played 10 minutes in this quarter and got 3 rebounds and 1 assist.
Why did he get such a long playing time? That's because as soon as Anzhu came up, he was fouled again. Fortunately, the opponent did not make a shooting move, so the score difference was not further widened. There were 4 fouls in the half.
In the second half, Anzhu will probably have to stay on the bench for a while.
Staples Center, auditorium.
"Old Tang, Xiao Qian's team doesn't seem to be doing well. How many points have they lost? Can they still win?" Tang's mother and Tang's father are both qualified pseudo-fans now, so they have a rough idea of the game.
, there was already a vague judgment in his mind. "Believe me, Xiaoqian, 19 points in a basketball game is not something that cannot be recovered." Tang's father comforted Tang's mother, but he vaguely felt that the trend of this game was very serious.
not ideal.
On the other side, there were two women having a heated discussion.
"Sofia, after losing so much, can you still win?" Although Sestin has also been studying basketball knowledge and basketball videos during this period, she is still far behind the "old fan" Sophia.
, so when she saw this situation, she instinctively asked her sister beside her for help.
"It's hard to say. The current overall momentum of the Lakers is very bad. If the team's morale cannot be improved, they may lose more and more in the following games until they enter garbage time early." Sofia saw the clues and told
Sestin said, but the real situation was far worse than she expected.
Lakers locker room.
"Paul, how are you? Can you still hold on?" Kobe looked at Pau Gasol and said.
"Well, I can do it, don't worry." Gasol gritted his teeth and nodded. In fact, at this time, his foot injury was already very serious and had even begun to worsen. But for the man in front of him, he
Decided to forcibly support it. Pau Gasol is essentially a standard "second boss". He has the ability to be the "big boss" of some teams, but his mentality and his will are not really good.
He is suitable for the position of "big boss". Look at his independent leadership time, 0 wins and 12 losses in the playoffs. If nothing else, as the boss of the team, he has entered the playoffs many times but failed to achieve anything.
He has never won a game, which is a bit inappropriate. It’s not that Gasol’s personal ability is not good, but that his character has no concept of winning. Therefore, the team he leads lacks a team in the playoffs.
I always have the illusion of "coming here for a visit" when I am full of energy and energy.
But once you become the "second boss", this problem will no longer be a problem. Instead, because of your personality, you can peacefully coexist with any boss. The so-called "best second boss" and "best team player" are like Gasol.
With his boss protecting him from the wind and rain, he can fully display his strength without having to play under huge pressure and attention.
And because his "boss" is Kobe, his mental attributes can also receive a "halo" bonus, changing his normal, slightly "softer" personality.
"OK, come on, Paul." Kobe and Gasol have won two consecutive championships, so there is no need to say more about all kinds of tacit understanding.
In fact, the ball has been hit to this point, and it is useless for Mike Brown to say anything. He is not the kind of head coach who has a particularly strong ability to control on the spot, so at this time, he can only say some encouraging words and pray that the Lakers can
Moved the goddess of victory, a miracle of reversal occurred.
What about the Thunder? Everyone is in high spirits, full of energy, and they look like they will advance tonight!
From this point of view, the Lakers have fallen behind.
Due to Bynum's foul problem, Tang Qian got the opportunity to continue playing in this game. He still has a bronze blocking card that can be used, but now is not the time. The Thunder's competitive state is too good, even if he is blocked
After blocking 9 times, I'm afraid they can't stop the opponent's indiscriminate bombardment. You must know that this team is famous in the league for not being afraid of blocking.
And now, what the Lakers need is to score points. Even if he uses the bronze block card, he can't give the team any help at this point.
Can I just tolerate it temporarily?
But soon, Tang Qian was forced to use his ability card, because only one and a half minutes into the third quarter, his opponent had another 7-0 spurt. The Lakers' offense continued to misfire, adding
Sol and Ci Shiping all tried to shoot, but the basketball just couldn't fly into the Thunder's basket. This is the role of the team's morale and momentum. Although it is intangible and invisible, it does exist.
If it goes well, the whole team goes well, and if it goes wrong, the whole team doesn't go well, so Gasol and Ci Shiping's shooting becomes worse and worse, and their shooting percentage drops to the bottom.
You ask where Kobe is? Kobe is on the court, but as soon as he gets the ball, the Thunder will double-team him unscrupulously, leaving him no room to shoot. And in this game, Thabo Sefolosha's
The defensive state is good, and Kobe's off-ball coverage is done very well. As a result, it becomes extremely difficult for the Lakers to receive the ball on the 24th.
Why is this happening? Because the Lakers can't open up other points and are all in trouble, the Thunder's defensive focus is obvious, and it gradually focuses on Kobe. In this way, let alone take action, he wants to relax
Catching the ball is very difficult.
40-66, the Lakers fell behind by 26 points.
This time, the Lakers were fooled. They fell behind by 26 points at the beginning of the third quarter. How should they continue? In this mood, the Lakers' combat effectiveness continued to decline, and their condition became increasingly poor.
, Mike Brown also seemed to feel that there was no hope of winning, so he simply did not call a timeout.
"How about it, are you going to die? Chinaman?" Serge Ibaka mocked Tang Qian when he was blocked, because he was in good shape in this game and has scored 9 goals so far.
I had 9 rebounds and 5 blocks. If I were lucky, I might get a ****.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Tang Qian also tried his best to block the position and said: "The game is not over yet, you are holding a fart in your mouth!"
"You're so far behind, why don't you give up? I think you have water in your head!" Serge Ibaka said: "In this game, our Thunder team will not only advance, but I will also beat you.
Let you end this season with a tragic defeat!"
Bang~
Ibaka grabbed the offensive rebound, and then quickly took a shot from the basket. The basketball hit the net and the Thunder added another 2 points.
40-68, the Lakers trailed by 28 points.
"How is it? Are you convinced? Chinaman!" Before Ibaka turned around, he puffed out his chest and said to Tang Qian. The meaning of that kind of demonstration, needless to say, was clear at a glance. Tang Qian's eyes lowered and he clenched his fist with his right hand.
, but finally had to let go. There is no way. If he can't suppress Ibaka on the defensive end, then the offensive end will be even more ugly. He is the winner of the authentic first defense this season, and he is by no means a waste.
A parallel importer with a false reputation. If you want to fight him head-on, Tang Qian doesn't have that ability yet.
In order to get the ball, Kobe had no choice but to dribble from the backcourt and push it to the frontcourt.
But for this ball, he was strongly interfered by the Thunder. As soon as he entered the free throw line, all three Thunder defenders were on the ball, chasing and intercepting it, without giving Kobe any breathing space. In this situation, if he was at his peak,
Kobe Bryant could naturally do what he did, but tonight, he felt a bit weak. Many of the actions in his mind began to feel a little weak, and they gradually became less than perfect.
When playing basketball, a slight change in hand shape may bring about a completely different outcome.
Bang~
Kobe's mid-air layup in the crowd was still very precise, but the strength and direction of the shot were slightly different from normal situations. After the basketball rolled around the rim, it wobbled, and finally moved outward.
Fell down.
Even Kobe Bryant couldn't score. Could it be that the Lakers were about to end tonight? The Staples Center was filled with dullness, and the cheering and cheering voices became sporadic.
After Russell Westbrook broke through the paint and attracted Tang Qian's attention, he raised his hand and "bang", Serge Ibaka completed the alley-oop, and the Thunder scored their 70th point.
The score difference between the two sides reached the number 30.
What does this mean for the Lakers? Every basketball fan knows that in the history of the NBA playoffs, the Celtics had the largest reversal in the NBA playoffs. They reversed the Lakers by 24 points in the finals and successfully won the fourth game of the finals.
, and finally got the match point 97-91. This record was refreshed by the Clippers from the same city more than 20 days ago. The Clippers reversed the maximum point difference of 27 points and narrowly defeated Memphis by one point 99-98.
Grizzlies. So, unless the Lakers create new history tonight, it is almost certain that they will lose.
And can they do it?
No one believes it, not the fans, not even the Lakers themselves...
Maybe this season will end here. This is the thought of everyone on the Lakers except Kobe.
30 points is really too much. Even if Tang Qian activates the Bronze Block Card, there is nothing he can do to save the situation.
And it was clear that just now, Tang Qian had lost his desire to block shots, otherwise Serge Ibaka would not have been able to score consecutively.
If there is no desire to block shots, ability cards will not be effective.
After all, Tang Qian is just an ordinary person. He does not have the belief of "born invincible" or "reborn as supreme" like the protagonist of popular novels, so he will also feel frustrated and powerless because he is just a mortal of flesh and blood.
.
People who have never played professional basketball will never understand what 30 points means.
That means you need to score 15 2-pointers if your opponent doesn't score.
That means if your opponent doesn't score, you need to score 10 3-pointers.
That means if your opponent doesn't score, you need to score 30 free throws.
