Chapter 317 Eight-game losing streak in the preseason!
"Go! Mr. Rodman! This guy fouled! Foul!!!" Tang Qian was hit by him, and he immediately lost his position in the triangle area under the basket, and rebounding was out of the question. "Foul? Foul!
What rules? Let me tell you, Jie Xiu and the others used to be my professional sparring partners. Letting them be used by you is an advantage for you, and you are still here babbling?" Rodman yelled while shooting, "Smelly.
Boy! Are you suffering from amnesia? Where have all the things you practiced before gone? Have you forgotten all about your beautiful manager? He is heavier than you, and you don’t adjust immediately and lower your center of gravity!!! Oops!!!
Idiot!!! How did I teach you???"
It wasn't until the last day of September that Tang Qian gradually adapted to it. No matter how little his opponent made, he didn't seem to notice it.
After all, training is just training. If you want to use it in actual combat, Tang Qian will need some time.
"Where is the stuck position? The basic movements have been restored. Where has the stuck position gone? Have you practiced for so long in vain?"
"Oh~ are you an idiot??? You just forgot the basic moves again??? You deserve to be kicked away!!! We have to use them together, we have to use them together, understand? What's the matter with being out of touch???"
"Jie Xiu, you're welcome, just use some force and make this kid suffer!"
On October 2, 2012, the Lakers' pre-game training camp began, but except for Kobe, no big-name stars showed up. This is a normal phenomenon in the NBA. Big-name players rarely care about this so-called pre-game training camp.
Of course, except for training madmen like Kobe.
Basically they are some simple recovery training, nothing too intense.
This is just like students who have just finished their summer vacation. The purpose of the pre-match training camp is mainly to calm down and tell the players that the vacation time is over and it is time to enter the game. The pre-match training camp ended in the morning, and Tang Qian ran away in the afternoon
When he arrived at Rodman's side, he continued to practice hard on his rebounding skills. His rebounding crystal tile was about to break through, and he was almost only missing a final kick.
On October 5th, Tang Qian was finally able to defeat Jie Xiu. No matter how hard his opponent pushed or pulled him, he could withstand it. If this was a normal basketball game, none of the ten Jie Xiu would be Tang Qian's opponent.
But because Rodman allowed Jiexiu to use small moves, or even big moves, and because this competition was just a pure fight under the basket, Tang Qian had such a hard time playing before.
However, after such an "unfair contest", Tang Qian obviously found that his ability to resist the basket has become much stronger. He also used the technical movements throughout the holiday training, becoming more and more natural and comfortable.
I heard that Wade had done similar training before. He allowed the opponent to make small and big moves without calling a foul. The purpose was to train himself to maintain the stability of his technical movements and not deform in super-intensive confrontations.
But his training direction is breakthrough, which is different from Tang Qian's training direction.
Still a little short of it! Still a little short of a breakthrough!
Tang Qian looked at the backboard crystal tiles in the "different space" and muttered silently in his heart.
"Okay, starting from tomorrow, the difficulty will be increased." Dennis Rodman glanced at Tang Qian and said, "You brat, can you hold on?" "Well, no problem, I have to start the regular season.
Before, I completely mastered these rebounding skills!" Tang Qian nodded and replied firmly.
October 7th, tonight is the start of the preseason. At around 10:15 in the morning, Tang Qian finally met Dwight Howard, Steve Nash, and Pau Gasol. At this time, the so-called
"New F4", everyone is here. Howard seems to be smiling at everyone, but Tang Qian clearly feels that this person's mind is not that simple.
It was Steve Nash who chatted with Tang Qian for a long time.
"Hello, Mr. Nash, we meet again."
"Well, hello, China Hot, it seems that your prediction last season came true." Steve Nash smiled and said: "To be honest, I never thought about coming to the Los Angeles Lakers.
"Anyway, sir, we are teammates now. I hope you can pass more open balls to me during the game." Tang Qian's words made Nash happy and said: "Haha~ That depends on you."
The game showed!”
After not training for a long time, the "Four Heavenly Kings" left at the same time because they would be publicly interviewed by the Los Angeles media later. However, these had little to do with Tang Qian, because he was just a small substitute and there were no reporters.
I will come to interview him now.
Los Angeles Lakers, first media day of the new season.
The "Four Kings" of the Los Angeles Lakers plus head coach Mike Brown seem to have high spirits written on their faces. Four All-Star level players, and three of them will definitely become NBA basketball celebrities.
It's awesome. Although it's not as good as the "old F4" and four Hall of Fame players back then, the style is amazing enough.
"Howard, how do you feel about joining the Lakers? What are your expectations for this season?" A reporter from Yahoo Sports asked first. "I feel great! The Lakers have a great tradition and a profound historical heritage. I am very
It's an honor to be a member of the Lakers." Howard sat on the floor and continued: "As for expectations, it must be to win the championship. Otherwise, why would I come to Los Angeles? Right?"
"May I ask Howard, what do you think of Bynum's remarks about the second center?"
"Haha~ What do you think? The Lakers trading me here is enough to explain everything, right?"
…
"Mr. Nash, can you and Kobe be compatible and coexist? ESPN seems not to be optimistic about your combination." A female reporter wearing glasses asked a pointed question. Nash is older than Kobe and can be regarded as a hardcore figure in the NBA.
So when he answered the question, he said very humbly: "I personally think there is no problem. Kobe is a great basketball player. He has already mastered all kinds of skills, so I am very willing to appear on the same half court with him."
"
"Mr. Nash, are you talking politely?" A man with an ESPN reporter badge stood up and opened his mouth: "Kobe has almost never co-existed with a powerful No. 1 position in his entire career. Many fans even
They all jokingly say that the Lakers' No. 1 position is 'the player responsible for dribbling the ball through half the court.' What do you think? Mr. Nash?"
Of course, Nash knew about the grievances between ESPN and Kobe, but he easily resolved them: "Nothing? I remember there was a person named Gary Payton back then, right? No, now, isn't there still me? I believe it.
You'll see the answer soon."
The ESPN reporter continued to be cunning: "Mr. Nash, when Gary Payton came to the Lakers, his personal data dropped a lot. Are you ready for this?" Nash smiled slightly and said slowly.
He replied: "Mr. reporter, I am already old, what is the purpose of coming to the Lakers? Off the court is because of the children, but what about on the court?" Steve Nash said: "Only to win the championship."
"As long as the Lakers can win the championship this season, let alone the data decline, even if I am asked to play on the bench, then I have nothing against it." After Nash finished speaking, he said: "Okay, please change and ask the next question.
It’s a question.”
…
"Excuse me, Kobe, who do you think is the boss of this Lakers team? Whose team is it?"
Kobe didn't even think about it and blurted out: "Of course it's my team. I know what you want to hear, but I'm sorry, this is my answer." When hearing Kobe's words, Nash and Gasso
There was nothing wrong with Er, but there was a slight movement in Dwight Howard's expression. But soon, he hid it and no longer showed it.
…
That night, the Lakers started their first preseason game.
This is a very strange team atmosphere. Everyone is very relaxed, even a little casual, as if they are not here to play, but to have a party. The main players think they will win and be crushed by their strength, while the substitutes
I thought that since there were main players to fill the hole, it didn't matter no matter how bad I played. In this atmosphere, the Lakers started the first game of the 2012-2013 season.
Los Angeles Lakers VS Golden State Warriors.
In the first quarter of the game, the "Four Kings" played well. With their super personal abilities, they led the Warriors by 3 points at the end of the quarter. Then it was training time. The "Four Kings" all came off the court to rest, and the Warriors blinked.
It blew up the Lakers' bench. Pay attention to the wording, it blew up. It blew up the Lakers' bench in a single quarter and ended the first half with a 15-point lead over the Lakers.
The "Four Kings" continued to rest in the second half, and none of them seemed to take this game seriously.
But Tang Qian knew that this year's warriors were beginning to rise, and if he looked at them from the old perspective, he would die extremely miserably.
After the whole game, 83-110, the Warriors scored 27 points and bloodbathed the Lakers.
Tang Qian played 15 minutes in this game and scored 2 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocks.
However, preseason data is not included in career data, so everyone will inevitably be a little less attentive when playing.
After the Lakers lost, they showed no intention of introspection at all, and the fans, including the fans, still looked "aloof".
After all, the "Four Kings" only played one quarter of the game, so losing doesn't mean anything at all.
Except for Tang Qian, every Los Angeles person thinks so.
On October 11th, they challenged the Portland Trail Blazers away from home.
In this game, Howard temporarily canceled his plan to play due to back discomfort before the game, and Gasol also chose to sit on the sidelines because of a slight cold. Kobe and Nash played a total of 20 minutes, and the efficiency was quite good, but in the end,
The Lakers could not escape defeat and suffered two consecutive preseason losses.
Tang Qian played 20 minutes in this game and scored 4 points, 11 rebounds, 5 blocks and 1 steal.
Facing two consecutive losses, the Lakers still lacked vigilance. Mike Brown even claimed that this was just a test of the bench lineup, so the win or loss should not be taken too seriously.
On October 14, the Lakers played against the Utah Jazz. Howard and Nash were absent. Kobe scored 18 points in a single quarter. The Lakers led by 11 points in the first half and entered the second half. Then Kobe went off to rest. After all, this was just a preseason game. Mike Brown.
It was impossible for Kobe to exert his full strength. But in the second half, the Lakers' bench lineup collapsed again and was directly beaten by the Jazz. Although Tang Qian got 15 rebounds and 7 blocks in this game, he still couldn't hide it.
defeat.
The Lakers lost 86-99, losing three games in a row in the preseason.
On October 17, the Lakers will play the Utah Jazz again at home, and Howard will continue to sit out.
In this game, Kobe felt very hot and scored 27 points in the first half. The cooperation between him and Nash seemed to have begun to bear fruit. However, due to Mike Brown using a full substitute lineup in the second half, the Lakers continued to lose and suffered a season loss.
Lost 4 games in a row.
Tang Qian scored 6 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks in this game.
But even so, the Los Angeles Lakers remained "peaceful" and did not show any anxious expressions.
Mike Brown said that preseason games are just training, and it doesn't matter whether we win or lose.
As long as it's a home game, Tang Qian will insist on asking Dennis Rodman for rebounding training. Others don't know the situation of the Lakers, but he knows it better than anyone else.
In this season's preseason, the Lakers lost all eight games without a win.
The whole team was in a disorganized mood and had no intention of winning.
On October 20, the Lakers played against the Kings.
Howard, Nash, absent.
Kobe Bryant scored 22 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists in 18 minutes. Gasol scored 20 points and 6 rebounds. However, due to the lack of defense, the Lakers were overturned by the Kings in the last 2 minutes and ended up winning 98-103 in five points.
Defeat Sacramento.
Tang Qian didn't play much time in this game. In just 11 minutes, he got 7 rebounds and 2 blocks.
They lost five games in a row in the preseason.
But Tang Qian could see that the Lakers were not awake yet. They still felt that they could sweep all directions in the regular season and directly win the first place in the Western Conference. He wanted to discuss it with Mike Brown, but it was obvious that the latter's left ear
In, the right ear comes out.
On October 22, the Lakers will play the Kings again at home.
This time, Kobe, Nash, and Howard did not play, and only Gasol led the team on the court.
The result was natural. They lost by a huge margin and suffered a disastrous defeat against the Kings.
Tang Qian played 29 minutes in this game and scored 15 rebounds and 4 blocks.
At this point, the Los Angeles Lakers have lost six games in a row in the preseason.
On October 25, the Lakers played against the Clippers in the same city. Kobe and Nash were absent.
Although the opposite star Chris Paul did not play, the Clippers relied on Eric Bledsoe's 9 steals to easily defeat the Lakers. The performance of Howard and Gasol in this game
Neither was good. The two made a total of 11 mistakes. It can be seen that the two new inside twin towers have not yet found a tacit understanding of cooperation.
Tang Qian played 14 minutes in this game and scored 5 points, 8 rebounds and 1 block.
The Lakers lost seven games in a row in preseason.
After the game, Matt Barnes went out of his way to have a meal with Tang Qian because before the start of this season, he was traded by the Lakers to the Clippers in the same city.
Tang Qian was slightly sad, but he also understood that the NBA is a business league, and players come and go, which is a normal thing.
He has no ability to change this fact.
On October 26, the Lakers will play the Kings again at home.
This is the last game of the preseason. I don’t know what Mike Brown is thinking. He actually asked all the "Four Kings" to rest and directly used the full substitute lineup to play against the Kings. Tang Qian really wanted to play this game.
He has to win, because eight consecutive losses in the preseason will give him an extremely bad feeling.
The Kings saw that the Lakers responded with all their substitutes, and the main players did not play for a few minutes. Then, the game suddenly turned into a big showdown between the benches of both sides. Since the "Four Kings" were all absent, Tang Qian got the advantage of this game.
Playing a lot of time, he scored 4 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks in the first half. In the second half, he even went even harder, scoring 6 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks, totaling 10 points in the game.
The dazzling data of 19 rebounds and 6 blocks, but it is a pity that the game was lost. Because Tang Qian could not stop the five people on the opposite side, the Lakers bench was almost all "newcomers", not to mention the level of tacit understanding.
, there aren’t even many basic coordinations, so if you can outperform the opponent, then that’s the trick.
The Los Angeles Lakers, who have the "Four Kings", ended the 2012-2013 preseason with a total loss and suffered an eight-game losing streak.
Damn! Is it still an eight-game losing streak? Is history so difficult to change?
Tang Qian looked at the Lakers' preseason record and felt very depressed.
However, in this poor record, Tang Qian still gained something. For example, the rebounding crystal tile that he desperately needed to break through was finally promoted in the last preseason game. It increased from the original six and a half yuan to seven yuan.
, at the same time, he also received a silver rebound card as a reward.
So seven yuan is considered good? What about eight yuan? Does it mean it has an excellent rating?
Tang Qian looked at this silver rebound card and thought to himself for a moment.
