Chapter 298 The big chapter prediction of the tiebreaker in the sky group oh oh oh~
"Lakers, Celtics both enter tiebreaker!" - Los Angeles Times.
"The Lakers staged a huge comeback! Kobe Bryant scored 48 points! A triple-double!" - Bleachers.
"By winning the tiebreaker, the Lakers will hope to return to the Finals! Let's take a closer look at the various statistical comparisons between the Lakers and the Spurs this season!" - Laker Nation.
That night, T.N.T's famous TV program "T.N.T Team" held a meeting about the fierce tie-break between the East and West.
Guests present included host Matthews, O'Neal, Barkley, Kenny Smith, Isiah Thomas, and Bill Walton. This is the first basketball program launched by T.N.T TV station, and various big-name stars wear
Put on suits, sit together, brag and chat, and talk nonsense.
"Okay gentlemen, the topic tonight is the prediction of the Eastern and Western Conference tiebreakers in the 2011-2012 season. Currently, Boston and Philadelphia are tied with a score of 3-3, and the Lakers and Thunder are also tied with a score of 3-3.
3. Compared with the Spurs and Heat, these two traditional powerful teams in the East and West seem to have encountered a lot of trouble. OK, everyone can start to speak." said the host Matthews, who is actually the "soy sauce" of this show.
role, because except for the beginning and the end, he can hardly say anything. Because when talking about basketball, the few people here are real experts, not just bullshit commentators.
"Okay, let me talk about it first." "Shark" O'Neal first said: "To be honest, I didn't expect that Boston and Los Angeles would be in this situation. First, I think Boston is stronger.
After passing Philadelphia too much, a 4-0 sweep is the truth, but they were dragged into the tiebreaker, which is shocking. Secondly, I think the Lakers are weaker than Oklahoma, and they can only be 1-4 at most.
, capped at 2-4. Unexpectedly, they actually made a historic reversal and tied with the Oklahomans 3-3. This year’s playoffs were unexpected.
Too many." O'Neal paused, and then continued: "But if you ask me for my final prediction, I still stick to my original opinion. Boston in the East will advance, and Oklahoma in the West will advance."
"I agree with Shaq." Kenny Smith said: "Comparing the willpower of the playoffs, Philadelphia and Boston are far behind. I think in the last game, Boston in the East will advance. As for the West, I thought about it.
, I still think the Thunder have a slightly better chance of winning. After all, the Lakers are showing signs of fatigue this season. Being able to reach the tiebreaker is just a matter of luck. A 30-point reversal does not happen in every game.
, so in the Western Conference, I choose the Thunder to advance."
"Okay~" The host Matthews nodded, then looked to the other side of the seat and asked: "I wonder if the other gentlemen have any other opinions?"
"I have a different view." Charles Barkley said: "First of all, as for the Eastern Conference's tiebreaker prediction, I am no different from them. There is no doubt that the Bostonians will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. But in the Western Conference, I have a different view." Barkley
Said: "I think the Western Lakers will advance to the Western Conference Finals and defeat the Thunder 4-3."
"Oh, Charles, can you tell me your specific views?" Matthews asked.
"The Lakers were beaten 0-2 in the first two games. That was due to the abnormal performance of the star Kobe Bryant and the collective malaise in the interior. For the Black Mamba, only 20 points in one game are too few.
It is not in line with the normal state of the Lakers. Look at the next few games, 36-38-42-48, four consecutive games, one higher than the last. This is the state of Kobe's full firepower. Although the Lakers
The team couldn't stop the Thunder's super perimeter lineup, but in the last four games, Kobe averaged 41 points per game, which was more than double his average score in the first two games. If you try to beat him, you can't beat Kevin Durant.
+ Westbrook, that is enough to defeat Westbrook + James Harden. In this way, although the Thunder have Durant, their actual perimeter advantage is much less than everyone imagined. Now that I have said it,
The Lakers also have an inside advantage, so I think the Lakers can eventually win the tiebreaker and successfully advance to the Western Conference Finals."
"Ah~ha~ Charles, your analysis method is really too subjective." Shaquille O'Neal immediately retorted to Barkley: "Indeed, Kobe Bryant performed brilliantly in the next four games, averaging 41 points per game, but you
Don't forget, he also only scored 20 points in two games. I don't think Kobe can withstand continuous bursts of power at his current age. Let alone 40 points in the next game, if he can score 30 points, that would be good.
It's impossible to give the Lakers such a big help." O'Neal continued: "And the inside advantage you mentioned, I didn't see it at all in this series. Gasol averaged 12 points per game, Bynum
The average is 14.9 points per game, and the total is only about 27 points, and neither of them shoots 45%. Oh~e.on~The shooting percentage of the inside players is not as good as that of the outside players. Isn't this just a joke?
?Think back when I averaged more than 30 points per game in a series, it was not a problem. The two of them combined for only 27 points? The shooting rate was less than 45%? This is simply a rookie! It is in this era that you can show off your power.
, in our time, there were many insiders teaching them how to be a good person every minute!"
O'Neal's words were domineering, even very arrogant, but there is no problem at all, because he has exceeded 30 points in many games in the series, and even exceeded 30 points many times in the finals, so he commented like this on the Lakers double
Tower, he has his own capital. As a giant insider in NBA history, there are few people who can be taken seriously by him.
"You are you and they are them. How many insiders in the NBA can handle you?" Charles Barkley said: "Furthermore, the Lakers insiders I'm talking about are not just them, there are also Chinese players. A series of
The Asian who scored two triple-doubles in the game!"
"Asian center?" O'Neal said with disdain: "A backup center who averaged 2.9 points per game in the regular season?"
"You're wrong to say that!" Charles Barkley said: "Although he averaged only 2.9 points per game in the regular season, that's because he is a defensive center. How can you talk about scoring with a defensive center?
Why don't you go for a three-pointer with Memit Okubi? Besides, since entering the playoffs, the F.C. average points per game are still much higher than in the regular season. They averaged 5.3 points per game against the Nuggets and 5.3 points per game against the Thunder.
Currently, he is averaging 13 points per game in 6 games, which is pretty good for a substitute center!" After saying that, Charles Barkley seemed to suddenly remember something, and suddenly teased: "By the way, say that.
Come on, Shaq, you seem to have never had a triple-double in the playoffs, right? The only two times in your career were in the regular season, am I remembering it correctly?"
O'Neal is the kind of person with a very high spirit. Looking at his arrogant and respectful attitude towards Kobe, you can understand that if you want him to respect you, you must show your honor and strength. Otherwise, he will always act aloof when dealing with you.
It seems. Kobe understands this better than anyone in his heart, so he has to work hard to win the championship, not only to catch up with Joe God, but also to surpass Shaquille O'Neal.
54. When Kobe Bryant's number of rings surpassed O'Neal, this "big shark" immediately became honest. If you look at the news before and after, you will understand why the shark's change is so obvious.
"It is true that I have never won a triple-double in the playoffs." O'Neal changed his expression, looked at Charles Barkley and said: "But I have won 4 championship rings. When will he have so many rings?
Compare with me."
This sentence has an insinuation. It seems to be talking about Tang Qian, but in fact it has trapped Charles Barkley without a ring, causing hidden damage.
When Barkley heard this, his face became gloomy, but he did not refute it because this incident was the biggest regret that he would never forget in his entire career. In NBA circles, you can clearly see that
Really, without a ring, there is no status. Even if you are better than Malone, it is still useless. He has no room for discussion among the top 15 players in history. Therefore, O'Neal's words are extremely offensive.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, host Matthews immediately changed his gaze and asked Isiah Thomas and Bill Walton: "I wonder if the remaining two gentlemen have anything to say?"
Isiah Thomas was the first to speak: "There is nothing to say in the East. The Bostonians will definitely advance. There is no doubt about it. As for the West, I think the Lakers and Thunder will be 50-50, because both teams have their own
It’s hard to define advantages directly. But for the Lakers’ backup center Smash, I feel that he has a good future. If this situation continues, he will have the opportunity to compete for the defensive first team and even the best defensive player in the future.”
"Isiah, you think too highly of that Eastern kid! I watched his playoffs, and he was basically an offensive guy with no skills at all. How does a guy like this want to win the best defensive player?
Are you kidding me?" O'Neal expressed his objection to Thomas's words, because deep down in his heart, he did not like this Asian center at all.
"What's impossible? Shaq." Isiah Thomas had a very high emotional intelligence. He blinked and said, "After all, Tyson and Chandler both got DPOY this year. Winning one in his career is not
Impossible, isn't it?"
"Hmph, let's wait until he gets it first." O'Neill snorted.
"What about you, Bill? What do you think?" Matthews then asked.
"My opinion in the Eastern Conference is the same as theirs. The Bostonians have at least a 95% chance of advancing. Unless Philadelphia breaks out collectively, it is almost impossible to win the tiebreaker." Bill Walton said: "Talking about the Western Conference, I think
The Thunder still have a better chance of winning, because they are younger, healthier and more energetic. Besides, I think the Lakers are lucky to be able to delay until this point. A 30-point super reversal, more than 60 years of NBA history
, this is just one example in the playoffs, can we expect more?"
"As for the Chinese perm just discussed, my opinion is that it is the Eastern version of Dikembe Mutombo."
"Dikembe Mutombo? Bill, you think too highly of him, don't you? No matter how bad Mutombo is, he is also a 4-time DPOY winner, a 6-time All-Defensive Team winner, and a three-time block leader in his career.
, 2 times rebounding champion, 8 times All-Star team, do you think this Chinese can achieve these honors?" After hearing O'Neal's words, Bill Walton said calmly: "Shaq, China is also rich in insiders.
In the country of players, you won't forget Yao back then, right? If he hadn't been injured, I think he would definitely be one of the top ten centers in history. He can't reach the level of Yao, but he can be a weakened version of Muttom.
It's not impossible, even if DeCambe's honor is cut in half, it's still a very successful career, isn't it?"
"Yao? There is only one Yao among the more than one billion people in China! I don't think there is any comparison between him and Yao!" O'Neal said: "And Yao is not a blue-collar player who can only block shots. At his peak, he averaged 25 points per game.
+ Well, it’s impossible for the Chinese to catch up with this in their lifetime!”
"Charles has said it before. He is a defensive center. It's really unfair to compare him with scoring. But I think this kid's shot-blocking talent and sense of smell are still very good. This is enough to gain a foothold in the NBA."
Bill Walton is openly Yao Mi, so he is relatively friendly to powerful Chinese insiders. But the premise is that you must be powerful and need his approval, otherwise you will still not be a bird. You, as a
Hall of Famer Bill Walton is also arrogant.
"Okay, after a brief discussion, we can basically conclude that there is no suspense in the Eastern Conference, right?" Matthews began to conclude.
"right."
"That's right."
"no problem."
The others answered one after another.
"As for the Western Conference tiebreaker, let's all vote by a show of hands. This is the most intuitive and clear way." Matthews suggested.
The final score was 5-1. Because he had to make a choice between the two, Isiah Thomas finally chose to favor the Thunder.
The ratings of this show were good, so the view of being negative about the Lakers' Game 7 spread among the public.
Tang Qian's temporary home, Los Angeles.
"Son, why do these people look down on you? Didn't they watch the game last night?" Tang's mother was also watching the show, so she immediately said with "righteous indignation". Tang Qian glanced at it and replied casually: "
This is normal, our team’s current financial strength is not as good as the Thunder’s.”
"Really?" Mother Tang was stunned for a moment, and then continued to ask: "Then what do you think the Lakers' chances are of winning the next game?"
"Probability?" Tang Qian thought for a while and whispered: "I don't know."
After saying that, Tang Qian himself fell into silence.
Domestic, Basketball Management Center, Office of the Chief Executive.
"The list of participants will be submitted soon, trust manager, look..." Chen Xin took the tablet, walked to the trust manager, and asked cautiously. Because there have been instructions from above recently, the goal for this Olympics has been set.
Xin Guan became grumpy because of this incident, and he would be angered if he was not careful.
"Damn it! Damn it! They just stretch out their hands and direct blindly! Keep eight and fight for six? How dare they think about it! Do they even know what a basketball game is?" The news manager said loudly: "The lineup was so strong in 2008.
He is ranked eighth, and now this lineup requires me to keep eight and fight for six! Are you kidding!!!"
When Chen Xin heard this, he was silent on his face, but he couldn't help but think in his heart, why do these words sound so familiar? What a squeeze! They are all people who stand up and talk without pain!
But of course he didn't dare to express these slanders, otherwise he would never want this "iron rice bowl".
In China, a job like this is a dream job for others. Chen Xin also spent a lot of money to break out of the siege from thousands of troops. Therefore, he must keep some words in his heart, otherwise he will offend his superiors.
Boss, he has no hope of promotion in this life.
Moreover, he has been in this field for many years, and of course he understands the principle of "when the leader is angry, the subordinates remain silent". At this time, not speaking and listening to the leader to vent is the most correct decision. As expected, after a few minutes, the trust management
His emotions calmed down, and then he turned to Chen Xin and asked: "How is that bastard doing now? Does he have the qualifications for us to show some kindness?"
Chen Xin has been with Xinguan for some time, so he naturally understood what the leader was thinking and who he was referring to. He quickly replied skillfully: "The performance is very good. I have got 2 triple-doubles and also broke the NBA season record."
Single-game block record in the postseason."
"In your opinion, how do our team's insiders compare with him?" the manager lit a cigarette and asked slowly.
Chen Xin hesitated after hearing this and did not answer immediately.
"Don't worry, there are no outsiders here, just tell the truth." The credit manager saw the reason for Chen Xin's hesitation and said calmly. "Okay, then I will say it, credit manager." Chen Xin nodded, then opened his mouth and said
: "To be honest, all of them are not as good as this Tang Qian."
"Is it that exaggerated?" the letter manager took a puff of cigarette and asked slowly.
Regardless of the ups and downs of XCMG, he has been in management for a long time, but he actually doesn't understand the outside world. All his energy is concentrated on the national team, the national youth team, and the national Olympic team.
.So he is a little "weak" when it comes to external progress and changes, and is just a "paper tiger" who doesn't understand and pretends to understand.
"Yeah." Chen Xin thought about his words for a while before responding: "Although Tang Qian's scoring ability is not very good, his defensive ability is at the NBA level. It seems that he has won an 'Asian Blocking King' this season."
's reputation." In fact, Chen Xin is also a monk who became a monk on the way. He had never been exposed to basketball before coming here to work, so most of the information was read online and subjectively imagined. Tang Qian's scoring ability is ranked first in the NBA
It's not that good in the game, but it will be completely different if you put it in the national team. But Chen Xin doesn't quite understand these twists and turns.
"Defensive ability? Our team's Zhou Qi seems to have good defensive ability, and his blocking data is quite good." The manager started talking nonsense again. Chen Xin frowned when he heard this. Although his basketball level is not very good.
, but I still know that Zhou Qi is currently only a member of the U17 National Youth Team, and his achievements are at the U17 level. He will not be included in this year's Olympic squad. But regarding his boss's "slip of the tongue", he also
He couldn't be exposed directly, so after Wei Wei thought about it, Chen Xin said: "Well, he is pretty good, but it's a pity that he is too young, so he won't be included in this year's Olympic Games squad."
What he said was extremely clever, not only pointing out the problem, but also saving the leader's face. No wonder he had such a good time in front of the grumpy supervisor.
"Oh, really? Let's talk about it at the next Olympics." The information manager is also a veteran, so he immediately understood what Chen Xin said. This way of dealing with normal people seems very awkward and tiring, but here
However, it is a common thing. If you don’t know how to do it, you will definitely be a stepping stone for the rest of your life.
"Then let's show some goodwill. After being banned for a while, I believe he has woken up." The manager said while smoking a high-end cigarette and puffing on the smoke.
"Okay, I understand, trust management."
"Well, everything is based on the overall interests of the country, do you understand? Xiao Chen." The information manager said with a "worrying about the country and the people" expression: "For the sake of national interests and personal grudges, let's put them aside for now."
"I'm tired of the credit management." Chen Xin lowered his head and said, then bowed and retreated.
Tang Qian didn't know anything about the situation in the country. Of course, even if he knew, he would sneer at it.
You have taken over all moral principles. If others don't obey, they will be slapped with big hats one after another. This kind of ghost basketball team really doesn't matter if you don't join. It's a mess, and they won't be afraid of pain until they fall to the bottom!
United States, Los Angeles, Oklahoma City.
In order to prepare for tomorrow's Game 7, the entire Lakers team flew to Oklahoma City one night in advance.
Mike Brown arranged tactics and adjusted the layout there again, but in Tang Qian's view, these were all useless efforts, because what the Lakers need now is rest, a lot of rest. They have won the game in two consecutive rounds of the series.
Seven, this level of fatigue is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. What's more, looking at the Lakers' player data, the average playing time of the starting lineup is almost off the charts. Kobe and Gasol both have 40+ playing time.
Ci Shiping scored 39+. If he hadn't been in foul trouble and didn't play much in the last game, his average time would have been close to 40+. Under this kind of super-intense overdraft and consumption, the entire Lakers team, in fact,
The iceberg is already on the verge of melting and crumbling. But Mike Brown has no intention of introspecting at all and still schedules a large number of pre-game training sessions, which places an even heavier burden on the Lakers.
In addition, this game was an away tiebreaker, and Tang Qian's heart suddenly became clouded.
