Chapter 334 The big chapter of the rebounding explosion~
On December 14, 2012, US time, at the MIC Center Arena, the Lakers will have another back-to-back game.
The opponent is the Washington Wizards, who currently have the lowest record in the league. Due to the injury of No. 1 draft pick Vol.Er, their start to the season has been a mess. So far, they have only achieved a record of 3 wins and 16 losses, which is worse than the Charlotte Bobcats.
If they had won one less game, they would really be one of the weakest teams in the Eastern Conference.
If the Lakers still lose this game, then even Kobe's prestige will not be able to appease the angry Los Angeles fans.
So even though it was back-to-back games, the entire Lakers team had no reason to fail.
9 wins and 14 losses, this is the current record data of the Lakers.
Naturally, such a game cannot be included in the national live broadcast schedule, so the number of media present is not large. But it doesn't matter, because this group of people will become the "lucky ones", just like in
The same people at Barclays Center.
There is a saying in the NBA that miracles often happen in the ordinary. This sentence can be applied to today's game.
Since John Wall, the backbone of the team this season, suffered a stress kneecap fracture during training on September 29, the 2010 No. 1 pick will not be seen in the MIC Center for the next eight weeks.
Faced with this team situation, the attendance rate of the Washington Wizards was only less than 65%. Tang Qian stood in the center of the stadium and took a look. There were large tracts of empty seats without anyone sitting on them. This shows that during this period,
Washington fans are sad and angry.
If the Lakers continue to lose in the future, will this happen one day at the Staples Center?
However, I won't let this happen.
Because the Lakers' winning streak is about to begin.
It starts right here in the MIC Center Arena.
Head coach Mike D'Antoni is also well aware of the conflict between Tang Qian and Howard, but currently the Lakers are short of major generals and there are only a few available inside players, so it won't work if Tang Qian is not allowed to play.
I hope these two guys can reconcile as soon as possible, alas.
Mike D'Antoni sighed in his heart.
When he came to coach in Los Angeles, the pressure from all aspects was too great. In the past, Mike D'Antoni still looked down on Phil Jackson, thinking that he was just a "super nanny" and that apart from the superstar players, he was not worth anything.
Mention. But after coming to the Los Angeles Lakers in person, he discovered that it was so difficult to be a "super nanny". It was many times more difficult than he originally imagined. This is really not an ordinary person.
It can be played around.
Putting aside the authenticity of the "triangle tactic", he began to gradually admire Phil Jackson for this point.
"Chinaman, watch me, you will feel humiliated, I promise!" Howard quarreled with Tang Qian after he came on the field. "Haha~ Really? This is what I was trying to tell you.
Don't be in a hurry to regret it!" Tang Qian didn't flinch and confronted Dwight Howard directly in the center of the court.
"Hey, I say you two, don't go too far! Do you really think that internal strife can defeat us? What do you think we are?" Brazilian player Nene Hilario is a hothead. When he saw these two guys from the Lakers,
Looking down on someone like that, I immediately felt a little unhappy, so I approached him and forced myself into the mirror.
"What are you doing?"
"It's none of your business!"
He was answered with two "ruthless" answers, which made Nene yell loudly: "Don't look down on others, I won't let you do whatever you want tonight!!!" "Really? I advise you to still do it.
Don't mess around, really, this is a piece of advice." Tang Qian said. "One-testicleed man! Who do you think you are? You dare to challenge me? Get out!!!" Howard was getting angry when he saw another "little boy"
"Character" came out and screamed. He was immediately annoyed and opened his mouth to speak very harshly.
"What!!! What did you say!!!" Nene Hilario underwent surgery in 2008 for a testicular tumor, which is commonly known as "cutting the egg." Although the surgery was successful,
It did not affect his return to NBA games, but from then on, there was indeed only an "egg" left under his crotch. This also made some people who didn't like him give him a "one-testicleed man"
" is an insulting nickname. But usually, no one will say it in front of him, because this guy is a man with a hot temper, and the lack of an "egg.egg" doesn't seem to affect him at all.
Violent style. If we want to talk about the players who have caused the most trouble in the paint recently, then Nene Hilario is definitely one of them.
Moreover, this guy has almost never suffered any losses in the NBA. This means that his "fist ability" is a very strong fortress and cannot be built. So Howard's words set off his nerves. If it weren't for his teammates,
So, this game may have turned into a "boxing ring" before it officially started.
The atmosphere of the game suddenly became tense because of this episode.
Because Nash and Gasol are still recovering from injuries, the Lakers' starting lineup is PG Chris Duhon, SG Kobe Bryant, SF Ci Shiping, PF Tang Qian, C Dwight Howard. The opposite side is missing War.
, then they are PG Jordan Crawford, SG Brad Beal, SF Martell Webster, PF Nene Hilario, C Emeka Okafor.
Tang Qian looked at Emeka Okafor, the former No. 2 pick, who was once on an equal footing with Dwight Howard next to him, but who would have thought that his first season would be his peak season. From then on, he
There was no season where he could suppress Dwight Howard anymore, and he became more and more marginalized as he played. To be honest, Tang Qian once liked this player, but he was not very lucky. He was injured in the second year of his career.
He missed nearly 60 games, and because his offensive ability improved slowly and his athletic ability was not as exaggerated as Howard's, the Bobcats gradually lost patience with him. In addition, his personality also means that he does not have the kind of need to be the boss of the team.
Due to his character and years of physical injuries, this season has actually become the big man's last NBA season.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Tang Qian believes that in terms of low-post defense, his assist defense ability may not be as good as Dwight Howard's, but his single defense ability is worse than "Warcraft". His career-high 2.6 blocks, and weakening the opponent. The player's 30% points per round is an almost terrifying defensive dominance. Especially the latter one is several percentage points higher than Dwight Howard. He is only 208cm tall and his athletic ability is not particularly strong. Considering his physical limit, he is definitely a "low-post defensive maniac" for being able to perform like this. In fact, Tang Qian believes that his potential has not been fully realized in the NBA. 4+ blocks on average, enough to scare any inside expert to death.
You must know that the NCAA's play style and time limit are different from the NBA. Their total number of offensive rounds is less, so to be able to produce this kind of average blocks per game is simply a monster level. In the NCAA back then, he was a well-deserved block leader.
King. And compared to the physical shot-blocking styles of Tang Qian and Howard, he is closer to the "ancient era" Bill Russell's shot-blocking method, which is mainly based on timing and skills, supplemented by physical fitness. If he can have "
With Howard's physical condition, perhaps 4+ blocks in the NBA is not unattainable.
Tang Qian once carefully watched Okafor's defensive video and found that there are many bright spots and merits in him. At least for himself now, there are many things worth learning and learning from.
But appreciation is appreciation, and liking is liking. Basketball is a competitive game. As long as the referee blows the whistle for the ball, you can only lose or win.
A basketball game is not a football game, there is never a draw.
When it comes to scrimmage, there are few people in the league who can match Dwight Howard, even if he still suffers from a back injury. Emeka Okafor is indeed several miles behind the former in this regard.
Obviously affected by the dispute, Kobe took three shots at the beginning, but tonight his touch was not good. DuangDuangDuang~ hit the iron three times in a row, and the basketball collapsed and popped out of the rim.
Dwight Howard seemed to be full of energy tonight. He flew up and grabbed the offensive rebound. Then without any explanation, he stood up from the ground and dunked hard with both hands. It made a "bang" sound, which was very similar to his playing style and appearance when he was healthy. "
How about it? Chinaman? Did you see it? This is my strength!" After landing, Howard did not look at his opponent, but stared at Tang Qian and said.
The gunpowder atmosphere was very strong.
"Don't worry, Howard, the game has just begun, hasn't it?" Tang Qian smiled nonchalantly and said, seemingly not nervous or urgent at all. "Humph! You tough-talking guy! Let me see what else you can do.
Time! I am determined to explode tonight! Because I can feel that labor and management are full of energy tonight!!!" This is American culture, especially the professional sports circle. On the surface, suits, ties, and leather shoes, in fact, privately
He always uses bad words when he speaks out. The same goes for Howard, who pretends to be a good boy in front of the media, but once the spotlight is gone, he returns to his true nature.
"Really?" Tang Qian had been in the United States for so long, so he responded very calmly in the American way: "Then I will put your energy back into my eyes."
These two bastards are still fighting openly on the court. Are they looking down on our Nuggets insiders?
You must give them a good look!
This is what the "Brazilian Fighter" thinks in his heart.
Tang Qian entered the "different space", took out two silver cards, and then said with a low smile: "Come on, come on, let's make earth-shaking troubles from now on."
"The 10,000 spectators here today are in great luck."
"Activate it, Baiyin..."
…
"Chinaman, why are you giggling! It's annoying to look at!" Howard couldn't help but feel cold in his heart after seeing Tang Qian's smile, and then he opened his mouth and spat out. It was as if he felt uncomfortable all over without saying anything.
Comfortable. "It's nothing, little beast. Beast, I'm here to solemnly tell you that the show has begun." Tang Qian continued to say with a smile, not affected by Howard's words at all.
When the opponent's shot was missed, Howard was active and blocked the ball, trying to get the defensive rebound.
However, the rebound disappeared in mid-air instantly.
Howard was startled and turned to look over. The orange basketball had fallen into the hands of Lakers No. 29 at some point. "This is the first one, little beast. Beast!" Tang Qian grinned, and then put his hand
The basketball inside was passed out.
Duang~
Kobe missed the shot, and Howard quickly found his position. After several years of growth, the gap in ability between him and Okafor has become more and more obvious. As the league's number one center, the latter gradually lost the ability to fight back in front of the former.
force.
This offensive rebound can't be escaped! It's mine!
Howard subconsciously came to a conclusion based on his many years of insider experience.
He jumped up and was about to put the basketball in his arms, but suddenly, there was a cold feeling in his right ear, and there was a "pop" sound, and someone got the rebound first. Howard turned around and saw that it was not No. 29 of the Lakers.
, Chinese perm, who is it again?
BANG!!!
Tang Qian blasted the basket with both hands, and his movements were almost exactly the same as Dwight Howard's just now.
After letting go of the rim and landing on the ground, Tang Qian smiled at "Warcraft" again and said: "Hi~ little beast. Beast~ This is the second rebound~"
Damn it!!! This damn Chinaman!!!
Howard was furious and worked hard to save face in the next round, but he didn't know that the real nightmare had just begun. The night of December 14, 2012, U.S. time, will be a night that Howard will remember for the rest of his life.
After the entire first quarter, the Lakers led the opponent by 12 points 27-15. Although Kobe's touch was relatively average and he only made 4 of 10 shots, due to Tang Qian's strong intervention, the Lakers took advantage from the beginning of the game.
Absolute initiative. Why do you say that? Tang Qian grabbed 15 rebounds in a single quarter, including 10 backcourt rebounds and 5 offensive rebounds. This directly disrupted the Wizards' offense. Because of the large number of rebounds
The lack of the team's offensive rounds has resulted in fewer offensive rounds and fewer attacks. In addition, the Wizards' shooting percentage is already average, so it is rare for the Lakers to have a big lead this season.
"Tang, you did a good job, keep up your form!" Head coach Mike D'Antoni patted Tang Qian on the shoulder and said after the game, because his current situation is somewhat similar to that of Mike Brown. If the team's record does not improve again,
Although you won't be laid off, you will inevitably suffer verbal criticism from the management and Los Angeles fans. Don't think that this kind of pressure is a joke. Ordinary people feel uncomfortable even with a small lawsuit, and their energy is suppressed. What's more?
This kind of "public enemy in the city" situation? Therefore, Tang Qian's "unexpected" performance gave Mike D'Antoni a bright feeling.
Originally, Mike D'Antoni's tactical system was relatively repulsive to big men over 7 feet, because of his "three seconds or less" philosophy, it was difficult for players over 7 feet to integrate. But the yellow man in front of him
, he found something different. Although he was over 7 feet tall, both his movement speed and lateral agility were far beyond the standard of a center forward. He was almost at the level of a striker.
This is definitely a great thing! Mike D'Antoni felt a little happy in his heart, because this means that this Chinese center has the possibility to integrate into his own tactical system. Originally, in "three seconds or less", the most lacking
One part of the game is defense, which is the issue of controlling key rebounds. Due to the need to form a "run and gun rhythm", this determines that most players cannot be too tall. And the short super rebounder, NBA
It has always been rare in history, and Mike D'Antoni has no delusion that he can get it. After all, rebounding is still a domain dominated by big men. Even if he sets off a "small ball whirlwind", it cannot change this fact.
Look at Miami's "Big Three", they are simply the "perfect prototype" of future basketball, but they have never solved the problem of rebounding. They are basically in a weak position, which illustrates the importance of small ball tactics.
One flaw is that the control of the basket and rebounds will never be as strong as a traditional team. Unless you can get a rebounding king of about 2 meters like Dennis Rodman or Wes Unseld,
Otherwise, you will never be able to perfectly make up for this flaw.
What about big players? It's hard to adapt to running and gunning. Look at Pau Gasol. His basic skills at the basket are so solid that it's hard to say, but if he wants to play run and gun, first of all, his speed and agility are serious problems. So Mike
D'Antoni doesn't like the Spaniard very much. This is also the reason. It's not that Gasol is not good, but his style of play is difficult to integrate into the former's tactical concept. Moreover, the Lakers also have Dwight Howard, who is in the low post.
There is no need for Gasol to be responsible for the shot, so it is not difficult to understand the Spaniard's role in the team.
But this guy in front of me...maybe can fill this problem.
Fill in the most lacking link in your own tactical theory.
Originally, "Warcraft" also had this potential, but unfortunately he was too big and Mike D'Antoni couldn't use his arms at all, and Howard was too obsessed with scoring and singles at the basket. This is also inconsistent with Mike D'Antoni's tactical system.
Not very compatible. He wants someone who can keep up with the "run and gun tactics", who can stay off the ball, and who can work hard and do a good job defensively. Dwight Howard obviously doesn't meet this standard.
However, Mike D'Antoni is no longer a rookie coach. He quickly suppressed his emotions and prepared to observe Tang Qian for a few more games. Because of the explosive and explosive games, there is basically not much reference.
In the entire first quarter, Tang Qian grabbed 15 of the Lakers' 18 rebounds, while the opposing Wizards only had 6 rebounds as a team.
Very pitiful.
At the beginning of the second quarter, due to the outstanding performance of the substitute lineup, Mike D'Antoni did not replace the main players according to the regular time. Except for No. 29 Tang Qian, who was a member of the main lineup and was still put on the court by Mike D'Antoni.
"Inspection". The shooting percentages of both teams in this quarter were surprisingly high, 55.6% and 57.1% respectively. Under such high shooting, Tang Qian's rebounds naturally "shrunk", and he only got 7 in a single quarter.
Rebounds. At the end of the first half, the Lakers led the opponent 58-45. Tang Qian grabbed 22 rebounds in the half.
But still only a few people have noticed something, and most people have not yet felt that tonight will be a different night.
Record night.
In the Lakers locker room, "Warcraft" Howard was unhappy and did not look happy because the Lakers had a big lead.
How come this yellow guy is so good at rebounding all of a sudden? What the hell! Did he just happen to explode??? Damn it!!!
Howard is still angry and depressed now. He didn't expect that the bigger shock is yet to come.
In the Wizards locker room, Nene was venting loudly: "Shit~ How come we lost so many rebounds? Emeka We must show off our strength in the second half! Otherwise, the opponent's arrogance will only become more arrogant!" Emeka O.
By the 2012-2013 season, Cafu had basically lost much energy, so he could only nodded dully without saying much.
In the third quarter of the game, it was an ironclad battle. Both sides' shooting percentage dropped to nothing. The Lakers' shooting percentage was only about 40%. What about the Wizards? It was even worse, only 20.8%, with 5 hits in 24 shots.
! Under this ultra-low shooting rate, Tang Qian once again took advantage of the opportunity to rise, grabbing 13 rebounds in a single quarter. This time, the Lakers tasted the sweetness, using offensive rounds and number of attacks to kill their opponents. Single quarter
25-14, 83-59 in the third quarter, entering the fourth quarter with a full 24-point lead.
From this quarter on, someone finally noticed the "abnormality" of Tang Qian's data. Steve, the Wizards' on-site commentator, said in the third quarter: "Phil, have you noticed that this Chinese has already
I got more than 30 rebounds. This is an amazing record! The last person to reach 30+ rebounds, I remember it was Bynum of the Lakers last year, right?" Phil, another on-site commentator,
Chenier said: "Yes, it happened last season. I remember it happened against the San Antonio Spurs, right? I didn't expect someone to break this record so soon!"
"I wonder what step he can take? Watching such a landmark game always makes people excited."
"Haha~ Let's wait and see~"
"This ugly guy!!! He actually got so many rebounds in a single game??? Are you kidding me???" "Dan.Dan Fighter" Nene's expression was very angry. Looking at his expression, he thought it was this.
In the first game, he was having a "powerful showdown" with Tang Qian. "Nene, that guy isn't that ugly, I think he's quite pleasing to the eye." As soon as Okafor finished saying this, Nene said angrily.
: "It's so good-looking! She looks just like the girls who act in movies! She's white and tender, and it really makes people sick! She doesn't have the toughness of a man at all!" "Really?" Okafor looked at it.
The No. 29 turned around and secretly looked at the Brazilian teammate next to him, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "I still think he is better-looking."
PS: The big chapter is coming, let’s take a guess, who’s team record is it that Tang Qian did it? Everything Xiao Zi writes is well-founded, not just imaginary~
