Tang Qian was the sixth man, so by the time he came on the court, there were almost only two minutes left in the first quarter.
The person he replaced was naturally Brandon Costner.
The scores of the two teams were Defenders 30 and Warriors 41.
"Hot, catch the ball!"
Through his performance in recent games, Tang Qian has gradually gained some recognition from the defenders. At least the rejection of him that was there at the beginning no longer exists.
NBDL is also a competitive league, and among the competitive sports in the United States, no competitive sports are charitable, so naturally, the same goes for the athletes who play in it. Although the salary level of the NBDL league is not high, it also has its own unique characteristics.
There are reward mechanisms. For example, reaching the playoffs, reaching the conference finals, or reaching the finals all come with huge bonuses. In the past, the players of the Defenders didn't matter because they couldn't get it at all.
The reward, but this season, has changed a bit.
Although some things are not obvious yet, the defenders' team members are all aware of them.
The person who passed the ball to Tang Qian was Manny Harris. This person was one of the first main players to change his attitude. Why? The answer is simple. With Tang Qian, he is easier to score, easier to assist, and easier to collect statistics. Don't look at the previous
He and Brandon Costner seemed to be as close as brothers, but once his own vital interests were involved, he did not hesitate and chose to "rebellion".
As the saying goes, if there is one, there are two. When they saw Manny Harris taking the lead, the hearts of the others were quickly shaken.
Opposite Tang Qian is a New Zealand center named Finn. He is 2.1 meters tall and has a strong build, but his movement speed is relatively slow and his defensive skills are mediocre. He is a second-round pick of the NBDL.
Tang Qian now urgently needs to increase the number of crystal tiles in the scoring column. The benchmark of two is no longer enough for him. Therefore, in every game, Tang Qian's desire to attack is extremely strong, because he scores
The crystal liquid in that column is already close to the critical point. It only needs one more "sprint" to get promoted at any time.
Of course, Fein didn't know what Tang Qian was thinking, so he didn't pay much attention to this yellow man.
He soon paid the price.
When Tang Qian saw that the opponent's defense was loose, he couldn't be polite. He half-turned and hooked the ball, and the basketball hit the net.
32 to 41.
This yellow boy has a good offense, this is what Fein thought, but this goal did not attract his attention.
After all, in a basketball game, it is impossible to completely prevent the opponent from scoring, so it is quite normal for someone to score a goal.
But Finn didn't know that this "normal" would soon become "abnormal".
The Warriors attacked hard, and soon Tang Qian made another shot on his head.
34 to 41.
After hitting two goals in a row, this performance was quite eye-catching. Looking at Tang Qian's figure, Finn's unhappiness gradually spread.
When~
The Warriors missed a three-pointer. In fact, it was a huge open space, but substitute shooting guard Rooney did not seize the opportunity.
Brush~
It's Tang Qian again, continuing to hit hook shots. It's obvious that his touch today is very good.
36 to 41.
Tang Qian scored six points in a row after coming on the field, and the score difference between the two teams was instantly reduced to 5 points.
"Tang, you did a good job, you can play more tonight!" point guard Manny Harris said.
"Okay, I understand." Tang Qian nodded. He knew that the reason why the other party was so "active" was entirely because he had just given him three assists in a row.
"Finn, what did you do? You were kicked three times in a row by a yellow man. Did you go too far last night when you were a woman?"
"No, I was just careless. Give me the next ball. I will teach this yellow boy a lesson!"
After being beaten three times in a row by Tang Qian, Finn naturally felt that he couldn't keep his face, so he had to respond.
Damn yellow man, watch out for me, this is Finn's counterattack!
"pass!"
Finn got stuck in his position and raised his hand to get the ball. He already saw a hint of impatience in the eyes of the coach on the sidelines.
If you fall behind again and wait for your own results, you will be directly replaced.
Although the NBDL is only a second-level league, there are still many people who want to squeeze in. After all, the NBDL can still make money no matter what. This is for many people who are between the NBA and amateurs.
For players, it is undoubtedly a good way out.
And don’t think that there is no competition in the NBDL. In fact, data proves that the turnover of personnel in the NBDL is much greater than that of the NBA, so if you are not good enough, someone will come over and replace you immediately, which is much more efficient than resigning from the company.
Therefore, Fein decided that he could no longer let Tang Qian be "arrogant" and he was going to retaliate!
Fein has a good height, a decent wingspan, and a relatively supple touch, which makes his scoring in the paint always not too bad. Now facing Tang Qian, he came up with his "killer" again, "Slowly and slowly"
"Slow hook surgery". Why is it called this? Because his movements seem to Tang Qian to be too slow. Of course, this is a common problem of many tall white centers. Although they have a good physique, their athletic ability is really not complimentable.
.
"Hey!"
Finn was not stupid. Before taking action, he pushed Tang Qian hard. The purpose of this move was self-evident, which was to delay Tang Qian's body reaction so that Tang Qian would not be able to bounce in the first place.
stand up.
This move was used by Finn normally, and it was "nine times out of ten." The number of times he missed was not too many, but unfortunately tonight, he was destined to be defeated. Just when Finn took action according to his usual rhythm,
A big black palm suddenly rose in front of him. Then under Finn's surprised gaze, the big palm slapped away the rising basketball, with a "pop" sound, like a slap in the face.
"Look at me!"
Just after Don missed Finn's hook, Santa Cruz Warriors shooting guard Rooney got the offensive rebound, then flexed his feet slightly and ruthlessly blasted toward the defender's basket.
"Want to pick up the leak? No way!"
Just as Rooney's hand was getting closer and closer to the defender's rim, a loud shout went directly into his eardrums. He glanced out of the corner of his eye in mid-air, and the pupils in his eyeballs were rapidly dilated. Is it him???
Phil Hubbard watched from the sidelines and said with silent amazement: This kid is so fast! He doesn't look like a yellow man at all! It seems that Li's recommendation is quite sincere!
Snapped!
The basketball in Rooney's hand was blocked and he successfully protected the basket twice in a row. This performance was enough to make the entire Defenders team morale boil!
Manny Harris seized the opportunity and immediately started a one-stop fast break. The Santa Cruz Warriors were caught off guard and Harris easily "stole" a ball.
38 to 41. At the end of the first quarter, the 3-point difference was like a blink of an eye for the NBDL league. The Defenders saw hope of winning tonight.
"Yes, the boys played well. Let us continue our efforts and defeat the opponent in one breath." Phil Hubbard said with a smile on his face. If we can win this game tonight, then the defenders will win in the new season.
A good result of 3 wins and 1 loss, at least since he took charge, can be regarded as the "best start". For a head coach, the winning rate is naturally the better, which is different from the players.
If you need data, you can achieve the same purpose with different approaches.
Compared with the "high-spirited" atmosphere of the defenders, the Santa Cruz Warriors on the opposite side were much duller.
Upon closer inspection, head coach Trich was already "spitting".
"Finn! What are you doing? Are you sleepwalking? Don't you feel ashamed that you were beaten three times by a yellow man? Or are you saying that you don't have 'shame' in New Zealand???f.uck!
!!I tell you, you are such a ridiculous waste!!!"
"Coach, I'm sorry, please give me another chance..."
Before Finn could finish his words, Trich opened his eyes wide and shouted: "Shit!!! You piece of shit! You still want a chance? Do you think you are the team owner? Do you think I am
Are you the one who pays the salary? Go sit on the bench and ask for a chance at the water dispenser tonight!!!"
"And you! Rooney!!! Why are you laughing? Do you think you are better than him? You can't make a three-pointer with such a wide open space. Are you short-sighted??? And what happened just now?
Ball, what kind of dunk are you doing? Didn’t you see that your baseline teammate was open? Forget it about dunking, you fucking dunk it in for me??? How does it feel to be slapped in the hot pot by that yellow guy??? Is it better than you?
I’ll get high even after I ejaculate!!!”
Rooney was sprayed "bloody" by Trich and fell down in the blink of an eye.
"Let me tell you, the goal of our Santa Cruz Warriors team this year is not to enter the playoffs, nor to advance to the second round, but to win the division and be the leader of the Western Conference! If we can't defeat the Reno Bighorns this year, you will all
Get packed up and get out of here!!! Do you understand???"
Terry is a typical "passionate" American. He is different from the "academic" coaches. What he has always emphasized is that "the coach infects the players" and "the coach and the players become one", so this kind of similar scene, in Terry
Qi's body is already "commonplace" and "innumerable". Roaring and roaring will always be an indispensable label for their type of coach.
"Coach, there's no need for you to be angry. It's just that we were beaten back by a few points. When we get on the field, we'll settle it immediately." A middle-aged man with a dull voice suddenly interjected.
"Marcus, of course I don't trust you, but these 'lazy' brats really can't be scolded. They are different from you. They won't even bother to move even half a step without a whip." He saw the words.
It was Marcus Fezer, Trich immediately changed his tone and said.
This is one of the "hidden rules" in the basketball world. The head coach does not have grudges with the main stars. Otherwise, if there is a disagreement, the former will most likely get out. Such examples are not uncommon in the NBDL, not to mention the NBA. After all,
When playing basketball, the coach is just an assistant. It is the players and the "stars" who really play hard on the court.
"It doesn't matter. Coach Trichy, isn't he just a yellow-skinned monkey? I'll go against him later, don't worry." Marcus Feizer said.
"Really? That's great! Since Marcus is willing to defend him, then of course everything is foolproof." Seeing Marcus take the initiative to express his stance, Trich was delighted. Because in NBDL, most star players are
For those who are unwilling to do these "dirty work" and "tiring work", for most of the star main players, if they have this free time, they might as well go to the offensive end to collect more data, which is not only good-looking, but also easy and practical. It is not like defense.
Not to mention the energy consumption, it generally doesn't increase a few data points. Calculated in this way, it is self-evident for everyone to know which one is more cost-effective.
"Huh, that's inevitable. Who calls him Chinese?" Marcus said with a dark glint in his eyes.
Chinese?
Trich was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that Marcus was going to catch the Chinese boy to "vent his anger."
Why do you say that? Because Marcus was kicked in the butt by No. 1 pick Yao Ming in the NBA.
Therefore, he has an inexplicable hatred towards the Chinese.
At the sixth minute of the second quarter, Tang Qian reappeared.
Replacing the main center so early is an obvious signal that Brandon Costner is about to "fall out of favor".
The score between the two teams was 45 to 55, and the Defenders were temporarily behind.
"Chinese boy, are you playing again? Have you prayed to God?" As soon as Tang Qian came up, he discovered that the person defending him was not the Warriors' center, but their power forward, Marcus Fizer.
"Is that you?" Tang Qian looked at Marcus and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"That's right, it's me. What about Chinese boy, are you scared?" Marcus Fezer said in an "aggressive" tone.
Tang Qian was too lazy to pay attention to him. He knew that anyone who had played in the NBA would keep talking about it. He wanted to focus all his energy on the game and had no time to deal with this horse.
Kusi is talking nonsense.
But soon, he got a taste of the power of "former NBA" players.
As soon as Tang Qian held the ball, the latter clung to him like a cheetah, pressing Tang Qian's back with one hand vaguely. His whole body was a little erratic. Why do you say erratic? This is what Tang Qian did after catching the ball.
It felt like the opponent had been pushing him, but seemed to be making no moves at all. This grasp of the rhythm and familiarity with the rules far exceeded any opponent Tang Qian had faced before.
Not easy to deal with!
This is the personal feeling of Tang Qian and Marcus Fizer facing each other for the first time.
But retreating is not Tang Qian's basketball style. Whether the opponent is good or not, and whether the opponent is strong or not, you have to fight to know. Therefore, Tang Qian decided to give the opponent a try alone.
Tang Qian made a fake move of shaking his shoulders and waist, but Marcus Fezer behind him did not move at all. Just when Tang Qian wanted to continue his movements, Marcus suddenly whispered: "Chinese boy,
Put away your lame fake moves! In my eyes, these fake moves of yours are worse than bullshit!"
"What?"
Tang Qian frowned. He ignored Marcus' words and continued to attack at his own pace.
"Do you want to dribble and turn left?"
Just as Tang Qian was about to turn left, a voice suddenly froze his movements.
Did he see it? Is it a coincidence?
Tang Qian and Marcus fought for a while, and when he was about to take the opportunity to break through, Marcus behind him said again: "Do you want to break through to the right?"
this……
Tang Qian was a little shocked in his heart. Being able to get it right once can be called guessing, and being able to get it right twice in a row is definitely not an accident. This Marcus's defensive prediction is quite good!
Tang Qian finally missed the shot due to Marcus' interference.
Turning around to defend, it was still Marcus against Tang Qian. Although Marcus was a bit shorter than Tang Qian in height, he was much heavier than Tang Qian. Tang Qian was only over 230 pounds now, and could only be 235 pounds at most.
But what about Marcus Fizer? A full 258 pounds! This is because he has grown older in recent years and has slowly lost a lot of weight. Otherwise, during his "peak" period in the NBA, his weight would have been
At least 260 pounds or more. What is this concept? More than 20 pounds more than Tang Qian! So when it comes to physical confrontation, not only is he not at a disadvantage, but he has the upper hand and directly overwhelms Tang Qian.
As we all know, in basketball inside confrontation, the greater your weight, the more stable your body shape and chassis will be, and the more stable your body shape and chassis will be, the more stable your shooting rhythm will be, and the less likely you will be shaken by your opponent. Of course.
, the weight cannot be increased without limit, otherwise if you blindly gain weight and lose your athletic ability, you will be bullied by others.
Judging from Marcus Fizer's height, he is definitely a "heavyweight" at this weight. Even Duncan and Garnett, who are much taller than him, are not as good as him in terms of weight.
.
This shows how strong Marcus Fezer is.
In this round of attack, he almost overpowered Tang Qian. Although Tang Qian was young and tall and had long arms, he was unable to jump up.
This method of attack is really unreasonable!
It feels like bullying a high school student!
Former NBA player?
It’s really extraordinary!
Tang Qian thought to himself.
PS: Some book friends asked me, why don’t I publish the chapters separately? Xiaozi rarely publishes 2k chapters, mostly 4k to 5k chapters, so some book friends suggested that Xiaozi publish them separately, so that he can earn better clicks and
Data. The truth is correct. This book friend also wants Xiao Zi’s book to be good, but Xiao Zi is also a reader herself, so she understands the discomfort of reading 2k chapters. Therefore, when writing her own books, she usually starts with 3k, and goes from 4k to 5k.
This is the best. Thank you all book friends for your enthusiasm and enthusiasm. Xiao Zi is really grateful!!! Really!
