The Lakers launched a defensive counterattack, and Kobe, as the arrow, took the lead and forced a fast break layup.
I was actually covered? Asshole!
Patrick Patterson looked at Tang Qian, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.
Tang Qian glanced at him and said nothing, because this Patrick Patterson, although he was one of Kentucky's "Five Tigers" in college, was not as dazzling as several other stars, such as John Wall, for example.
DeMarcus Cousins, such as Eric Bledsoe. This means that except for one of the "Five Tigers" of Kentucky back then, Daniel Orton, the rest were better than him in the NBA.
Okay, and this Patrick Patterson, in Tang Qian's impression, will be the most ordinary bench rotation player in the next few years, not to mention how powerful. If it weren't for the fact that there is no one in the PF position of the Houston Rockets this year, with his
It's impossible to make the starting lineup based on personal strength.
Facts have also proved that the 2012-2013 season with the Rockets was the season in which he made the most starts in his playing career. And the sad thing is that before this year's All-Star Game, he was traded away by the Rockets and went to a more...
The Sacramento Kings can't get ahead. After all, in terms of talent and potential, he is much worse than his "fellow junior" DeMarcus Cousins, so he is basically destined to become a "wanderer" in the NBA.
matter.
His height is not outstanding for the 4th position, and his weight is also small, only about 235 pounds. Although his wingspan and hand feel are acceptable, his unfortunate athletic ability is not good. This is almost a fatal flaw for the 4th position.
Look, Tim Duncan is now a floor player and a big-time player. When he was young, he was nicknamed the "Flying Devil"! Don't be deceived by Duncan's current performance! Furthermore, when it comes to competing for physical hardware, he and Tim
.Duncan is not on the same level again.
Therefore, this person is basically a substitute and has the ability to rotate. Now that he bumps into Tang Qian on the offensive end, he will naturally suffer.
The look in this guy’s eyes!!! Damn!!! Are you looking down on me???
When the Rockets attacked, Jeremy Lin passed the basketball to Patrick Patterson. The former’s original intention was just to let Patterson make a transition and then complete the tactical movement. But who knew that Patrick Patterson actually took the initiative to hold the ball and start attacking?
, turned towards Tang Qian with a back attack. To be honest, Patrick Parsons' touch at the basket is not bad. After all, he was one of Kentucky's "Five Tigers" in college, and his basic skills are still good. But it is a pity that he
Met Tang Qian.
His offensive speed and confrontation ability seem to be too weak for Tang Qian. In addition, his athletic ability is not very high, so if he wants to beat Tang Qian hard, there will only be one result, which is to suffer a big blow and eat hot pot. "
With a bang, without mercy, Tang Qian gave another big slap on the defensive end.
The basketball flew directly out of the Lakers' baseline.
Covered again? How could it happen???
Now Patrick Patterson was surprised, because during his basketball career, Easterners were all weak in athletic ability and physique. Their core strength was not on the same level as blacks, so as long as he encountered Eastern insiders,
He always shined and played brilliantly. So after seeing Tang Qian, he took it for granted that he was also a "physically weak chicken" and a character that he could easily kill. But he forgot one thing
The NBA is originally a concentration camp for world basketball talents. Anyone who can come here to play, no matter what their skin color is, must have two skills.
Otherwise, they would have been eliminated and sent home long ago.
Tang Qian's strength is defense and intimidating the penalty area.
As a player with mediocre inside offensive ability, he should not even think about challenging Tang Qian's authority in the basket.
This is definitely not a joke.
How to say Tang Qian, he was also the league's shot-blocking leader last season. If you want to attack the basket, you must first weigh your own strength and weight. Patrick Patterson is the kind of player who overestimates his capabilities. Therefore, he is
Tang Qian fanned the hot pot, which was a completely normal thing.
"Hey, buddy, you still want to come, do you? Take my advice, your inside offensive ability can't break through my defense, so for the sake of your own face, you should stay a little farther away from the penalty area." After listening, Tang
The hidden "advice" made Patrick Patterson feel ashamed and angry. The Oriental people he looked down on the most before actually dared to talk to him like this. It was really, really unreasonable!!!
"Patrick, calm down. That Chinese center has a strong ability to protect the basket. You don't need to fight with him." Jeremy Lin originally had good intentions and wanted to comfort Patterson, but who knows, but because of his relationship with Tang Qian
Because of the same "skin color", he was retorted: "Shut up! You mean, I can't handle him under the basket, right???"
Jeremy Lin was stunned when he heard this. He did not expect that he would be treated like this despite his good intentions.
Seeing Jeremy Lin dumbfounded and silent, Patrick Patterson continued: "Just do your job! You don't need to worry about my affairs, Asian!" Jeremy Lin's face turned red when he heard this.
It became popular because Patrick Patterson’s words obviously contained color discrimination, and coming from the mouth of his teammates only made Jeremy Lin’s anger even more intense.
This is what Morey said to me at the time, let me come over and be the leader???
This is what Morey said to me at that time, let me come over and be the boss???
Is there such a leader??? Is there such a boss???
Actually even my teammates looked down on me and ostracized me???
Jeremy Lin's ardent ambition when he first came to Houston was more than half extinguished in an instant.
"Lin, you don't need to be polite to him." Just when Jeremy Lin was feeling very aggrieved, a voice with a slight oriental accent said beside him: "Your only way to deal with people like this who don't know how to write respect is
, just go back hard and conquer him with hard power! Otherwise, they will never think highly of you or respect you!"
Jeremy Lin turned around and saw that it was Tang Qian. He was stunned for a moment, and then said: "But Feng, he is on the same team as me and is my teammate. If you do this..." "It's true that we are a team, but you put
He treats you as a teammate, does he treat you as a teammate? To deal with such an idiot, you have to step on him hard and teach him a lesson until he is scared and intimidated. This is the logic of black people on the streets of America, isn't it?"
Tang Qian's words made Jeremy Lin fall into a brief thought. Even though Jeremy Lin grew up in the United States, he rarely interacted with black people on the street because of his relatively good family background. Therefore, after entering the NBA, he was very concerned about the behavior of black people.
I'm still a little unclear about the situation.
In other words, I have a fantasy.
To use what Dennis Rodman told Tang Qian during the offseason, when dealing with certain black people, you should first teach them a lesson and then reason.
Only in this way can the other party listen.
Tang Qian heard this and asked: Mr. Rodman, what if the other party still can't listen? What should I do?
Dennis Rodman glanced at Tang Qian and said simply and rudely: "It's very simple, then continue to teach and torture until he is afraid, convinced, and soft." He saw Tang Qian's confused face.
Rodman said with a "hehe" smile: "This was Michael's exclusive secret recipe back then, so the Chicago Bulls were in harmony, without any big troubles."
Michael? Michael Jordan? Tang Qian's mind turned around because he had seen rumors about this on the Internet. For example, he would scold his teammates and cry if they disagreed with each other.
Blaming teammates, for example, beating them up if they disagree (haha, Cole was an example back then). But the strange thing is that these people have all compromised on Jordan's "cruel" or "tyrant" behavior
, tolerance, and even a positive attitude. This is almost impossible to happen in the NBA.
However, in Jordan's case, it became "rationalized" again.
Even Dennis Rodman never said anything bad about Jordan and had a sense of belonging to that Bulls team. Jordan's personal charm was really unfathomable. Tang Qian was still thinking about this before.
That's why, why everyone is so obedient and honest when they come to the Bulls. When he heard Rodman's words today, he suddenly understood that the essence of Qiao Shen's leadership is so...simple and rough.
But at the same time, it is almost impossible for outsiders to copy.
The reason is not complicated, it is simply that there is no unrivaled strength to suppress it.
Without supreme team cohesion and synergy, it would be impossible to win three consecutive championships, and what’s more, two.
But this passage made Tang Qian understand a truth, that is, in the NBA, you cannot be soft or cowardly, otherwise people will not take you seriously. The thinking logic of black people on the streets of the United States is so "weird".
Now I have shared this sentiment with Jeremy Lin, hoping that this player with the same skin color as myself can stand firmer and jump higher in the NBA.
"Okay, I think I understand what you said, thanks! I will think it over carefully!"
"Well, come on, but I won't hold back tonight. Victory belongs to us in Los Angeles!"
"Haha~ That's not necessarily the case, I won't let you succeed!"
The Rockets serve, Harden breaks through and points the ball, and the basketball is in the hands of Patrick Patterson again, but Harden's choice for this ball is not wrong, because at this time, Patrick Patterson is a good open man, and the latter has the qualities
With his stable mid-range open ability, it is a very reasonable offensive choice to leave it to him.
When Patrick Patterson was at the University of Kentucky, he was famous for his excellent mid-range shooting ability. This was somewhat different from ordinary African-American insiders. After entering the NBA, although his ability to force shots has been greatly weakened,
However, he has maintained his open mid-range shots. This season, his mid-range shooting percentages from 10-16 feet and 16-23 feet have exceeded 48%. Even if most of them are open shots, this hit rate list is still
Quite amazing.
But Patrick Patterson's offensive choice for this ball was beyond James Harden's expectations. He did not directly catch the ball and shoot a jump shot. Instead, he dribbled the ball, took a long step, and headed towards the Lakers' restricted area basket again.
Bounce away. Looking at his posture, this ball is going to take off and dunk.
Ha! If you had just made a mid-to-long-range shot, then I really couldn’t do anything to you! But now!
You are asking for trouble!
When Tang Qian saw his opponent's movements, he was not nervous at all. On the contrary, he was a little happy, because the basket in the penalty area is where his defensive power is fully unleashed. With Patrick Patterson's technical ability, it is impossible to score easily.
of.
"Yellow guy! I'm going to dunk you to death with this ball!!!" Patrick Patterson yelled and attacked the Lakers' basket.
Together with a loud shout, the momentum is quite good.
But this didn't scare Tang Qian, because in his opinion, this was child's play. The opponent's bounce and speed were too slow.
Therefore, without any politeness, he raised his palm and knocked away the basketball and his opponent.
Tang Qian got the rebound himself, looked down at Patrick Patterson, and said softly: "You are welcome to continue."
It's a pity that Patrick Patterson seemed to be suppressed by Tang Qian's blocking power, so he didn't make even one shot in the second half of the quarter. The Lakers led 30-22 in the single quarter, leading by 8 points, and entered the second half.
Festival.
Kobe Bryant scored 14 points in this quarter, and Tang Qian had 3 blocks and 3 rebounds.
As for Dwight Howard, he seems to be out of shape. He only scored 3 points and 3 rebounds in a single quarter, and his shooting percentage was only 33.3%. This is really unsatisfactory for a superstar-level player and not very good-looking.
There are actually some reasons for Howard's poor performance. Firstly, his own back injury has not fully recovered. Secondly, tonight's starting center Omer Asik of the Rockets performed brilliantly, with 6 points, 6 rebounds and 2 rebounds in a single quarter.
Blocked a shot twice, and the limelight completely suppressed the performance of "Warcraft".
In this quarter, Kobe and Tang Qian were the Lakers' internal and external gates respectively. Especially Kobe's guarding of James Harden, which directly allowed the latter to make 1 of 7 shots in a single quarter, with a poor shooting rate of only 14.3%. First
Facing Kobe Bryant in the starting position for the first time, James Harden felt tremendous pressure. And this pressure was completely different from that in the Thunder.
Because in the Thunder, he mainly played as a substitute and sixth man, and Westbrook and Du Shao helped him share the pressure on the outside, so he did not have a deep understanding of Kobe's true strength. But now here he is.
In Houston, he understood for the first time why Westbrook struggled so much in the playoffs. He faced off against Kobe Bryant all over the court, and the pressure and weight of the full-court duel exceeded the imagination of ordinary players.
Especially since the Rockets have no other strong points on the outside, James Harden has naturally become the chief prey of the "Black Mamba". In this case, Harden's suffering is only known to him.
Is this guy really 34 years old? Why is he still so strong?
If he were at his peak, wouldn't he want to fuck himself and explode???
In the second quarter, the Lakers' overall performance exploded. From the starters to the substitutes, everyone had excellent shooting percentages. In the end, the shooting percentage exceeded 55% in a single quarter. The Lakers scored 28 points, directly beating the 32.1% of the Houston Rockets.
The field goal percentage. In this quarter of the game, Kobe was still the best. Not to mention scoring 7 points in a single quarter, Harden was once again frustrated on the defensive end. He made 0 of 3 shots. This is the performance of the "future No. 1 point guard" against Kobe.
.
He simply hasn't adapted to Kobe's defensive style, and it's extremely difficult to cause the latter to commit defensive fouls. Because Kobe's rich experience, the referee's care and scale are not on his side.
, so it was inevitable to be beaten to the point of disorientation.
At halftime, the Lakers entered the locker room with a 13-point lead, 58-45.
Tang Qian got 5 rebounds, 2 points and 1 block in this quarter.
Except for Howard's rebounds, almost no one was missed on his side.
Regardless of whether it was starting PF Patrick Patterson or substitute PF Marcus Morris, they were completely suppressed by Tang Qian, and there was no opportunity to take advantage of them.
Don't look at the fact that the current substitute PF of the Rockets is Marcus Morris. This young man's future ceiling is much higher than that of Patrick Patterson. It's just that he is only in his second year, one year less than Patrick Patterson.
He has grown up, so his status in the Rockets is currently not as good as that of a Washington native with the same pick.
"Everyone did a great job! Keep up the good work! Tonight's victory definitely belongs to us!!!" Seeing that the situation was great, Mike D'Antoni encouraged loudly in the locker room. His passion and locker room infectiousness are undoubtedly worth mentioning.
Better than Mike Brown. So Tang Qian sounds pretty good.
At least it is appropriate to the situation and can play a positive role in motivating the locker room.
As for the Rockets, the atmosphere is much sluggish. Harden is new here and has just jumped off the bench, so he is not very good at motivating the locker room. As for Jeremy Lin, I'm sorry, the entire Rockets team does not.
No one listened to him, and no one regarded him as a leader or boss. So for a while, the atmosphere in the Rockets locker room was so tense that no one spoke or made a sound.
This can't go on like this! I have to think of a way!
Kevin McHale is a player after all, so he has a deeper understanding of certain "detailed tactics" than academic coaches. He soon came up with a method! That method was...
"Mr. McHale, do you really want to do this? Is this right?" Jeremy Lin still has some confusion. He graduated from Harvard University. Although his IQ is definitely first-rate, he is too accustomed to the "above and aboveboard" approach.
.This is a common problem among graduates from prestigious schools, and it is not something you can change right away if you want to.
After all, they have some self-esteem and pride that ordinary people don't have.
A Western philosopher once said that the more educated people are, the more they like to play "justice" and "chivalry", so "duel" has always been aristocratic and upper-class, since ancient times.
It is an "exclusive game" for intellectuals and intellectuals. Ordinary lower-class people simply disdain this game.
Street fights and street conflicts don't care about your "honesty" and "chivalry". Being able to defeat your opponent is a good move. As for "whether it's right" or "suitable", that's not what they should consider at all. McHale
Although he is Caucasian, he grew up in Boston and is an authentic disciple of the "Cardinal", so he also feels that "all means with the goal of winning" are good means. Therefore, Boston's home court has historically been
The most disgusting thing for NBA players is that there are floor problems, basket problems, and so on. They use almost everything, and this set of methods comes from the basketball theory of "Cardinal" Arnold Auerbach.
Winning Basketball Theory.
As long as the ball can be won, as long as there are no fouls, and as long as the whistle is not blown, then these are permissible "means of winning".
Therefore, the Boston team has been walking the line between "iron" and "dirty" since its establishment.
This "glorious tradition", no matter how many generations has passed, is being passed down successfully. From the original Boston Garden Arena to the current TD North Shore Garden Arena, this is like a genetic chain that is inherited in one continuous line, just like the "gorgeous" Lakers
and "nobleness" seem to have set an original tone that is difficult to change deep in the souls of these two teams.
Seeing Jeremy Lin standing up to "speak the opposite", McHale immediately frowned and said loudly: "Lin~ you are a player, and I am the head coach, so I just want to tell you that you need to listen to me, do you understand?
?At least until you become an All-Star player, you must listen to me, do you understand?"
McHale, like Byron Scott, dislikes yellow players very much. There is no reason. He just dislikes them from the bottom of his heart. Subconsciously, he always feels that yellow players cannot play in the NBA.
And when playing under this kind of head coach, Jeremy Lin has already lost a lot to James Harden at the starting line before he even starts competing.
After suppressing Jeremy Lin, Kevin McHale said without doubt: "Do you understand everything? Just follow this tactic! Whoever disobeys will come off the bench and sit on the bench!!!"
Jeremy Lin's face suddenly turned blue.
