On December 17th, the Lakers faced the Charlotte Bobcats back-to-back at home. The Bobcats continued to be underdogs this season, with a record of 7 wins and 16 losses. If it weren't for the Wizards at the end, the Bobcats would have been in the Eastern Conference.
Last place. Although the Lakers' schedule for these games is very tight, their opponents are very weak, such as the Wizards, the 76ers, and today's Charlotte Bobcats. This schedule gives the Lakers a brush.
A chance to win three consecutive games for the first time in the new season.
It was originally an unremarkable match, but it was temporarily placed on the national live broadcast list by T.N.T TV station.
for what?
What's rare is that it's not for Kobe, Howard, or the "Four Kings". They all came for the Lakers No. 29. The purpose is very simple, just to see if this Oriental center can continue to write.
Amazing, continue the exaggerated "40+ journey".
T.N.T live broadcast room.
Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal, Reggie Miller, and Kenny Smith were sitting at attention, waiting for the start of the live TV signal. Generally speaking, T.N.T TV station adopts a "two-person working system" in the regular season.
"Only in important games such as the playoffs and the Christmas game, the "4-man working system" will be deployed. This shows what kind of whirlwind the "Tang Qian rebound effect" has set off in the basketball world.
"This is a temporary national live broadcast. Everyone knows the reason, right?" Kenny Smith started the conversation first. "Of course." Reggie Miller said: "The Lakers are on the 29th and 3rd.
He scored 40+ rebounds in a row, this kind of feat is indeed worthy of everyone’s overtime.”
"I knew this Oriental boy was not simple. What do you think? He has a pretty good eye, right?" Charles Barkley said while deliberately looking at Shaquille O'Neal beside him. "It is indeed very powerful, but is he really good?"
Kurt Skiles is such a short-lived flash in the pan, it will take time to prove this." O'Neal said in a calm tone.
"e.on~Shaq~ Are you jealous?" Charles Barkley said: "Didn't you say before that he was at best a substitute-level center inside? What? Do you want to change your mind now?" "Change your mind?
I have no intention of doing this." O'Neal continued in a calm tone: "Everyone has experienced an outbreak period. After this period of energy, what he will become is unknown for the time being."
"You are too demanding on him." Charles Barkley was very happy when he saw Tang Qian's outstanding performance, because this is something that can mock Shaquille O'Neal. If you are optimistic about it, or the other party is not optimistic, who will judge then?
More accurate and more vicious, it's clear at a glance. "Tang is just a small player with an annual salary of 4 million. Being able to achieve this level is almost a perfect premium, okay? Besides, the highest number of rebounds in a single game for some people is only 28.
, right? I haven’t even been to 30+~”
Charles Barkley has no problem mocking O'Neal at this point, because there is no "what if theory" in the NBA. If you do it, you have done it, if you haven't done it, you have not done it, just like the latter always mocks the former for not having a championship ring.
The former could only shake his head and swallow his anger. But in terms of rebounding alone, Barkley was as good as O'Neal, and even slightly surpassed O'Neal.
Regardless of the huge height gap between the two, Sir Charles has the absolute advantage whether it is career rebounds per game or the highest rebounds in a single game. Barkley is 198cm tallest, but he has joined the "30+ rebounds in a single game club".
Because in the 1996-97 season, the aging Jazz once had 33 rebounds in a single game. That year, Charles Barkley was 34 years old. And O'Neal's career-high rebounds in a single game was created in the 93-94 season.
And O'Neal was only 22 years old that year. The difficulty of completing a single game between the two was completely different.
"So what?" O'Neal's face turned a little darker, and he opened his mouth and said: "So what if you grab too many rebounds? Can you get a championship ring? Besides, this kid just happened to explode, and it does not represent his real rebounds.
You can reach this level with your ability. I don’t think you need me to teach you about this, right? Charles."
"you……"
"Okay~okay~The debate show between you two ends here! There is only one topic we want to discuss now, and that is whether the Lakers can continue to create magic tonight on the 29th." Kenny Smith appeared at the right time and interrupted.
The dispute between the two is about to continue to heat up.
"I don't think it's possible. 40+ rebounds is not a big deal, so how can it happen so often? Two times is already the highlight of his career!" Shaq O'Neal answered decisively. "I also think it's impossible.
Big." After thinking for a while, Reggie Miller opened his mouth and said: "After all, this number is too difficult to achieve. It is not easy to score 40+, let alone rebounds?" "Well, now it's my turn.
"Kenny Smith said: "I agree with Shaq and Reggie. Two times is enough. If we do it again, it would be too exaggerated."
"You guys have no imagination!" Charles Barkley saw his colleagues standing on the opposite side one after another, and couldn't help but said angrily: "I bet that he can do it! Because I...because I am optimistic about him!!!" This
At the end of the sentence, he couldn't think of a reason, but for the sake of face, Charles Barkley chose to continue to support it.
"Oh~The vote now is 3:1~Poor Charles~"
"Shut up, Kenny! The game hasn't started yet, why are you so anxious?"
Charles Barkley shouted, interrupting Kenny Smith's teasing, and at the same time silently prayed in his heart:
Asian boy, if you win me over in this game, then I will be your die-hard fan~I will order 100 pieces of your Lakers jerseys tomorrow~
The Staples Center was filled with cheers at this moment, as if Tang Qian had become a "popular star" after returning from an away expedition, and was very popular in Los Angeles.
"Come on, it's hot~"
"Come on smash~"
At some point, Tang Qian looked up and saw a large number of "Tang secrets" and "exclusive slogans" inside the Staples Center of Notre Dame. This kind of posture was almost unfamiliar to him three days ago.
Dare to imagine.
In the era of online media, it is much easier for a person to become famous than before.
What does it mean to become famous overnight? Tang Qian finally understands it now.
"Hey~hot~look at how popular you are now?" Ci Shiping came over and made a few "Come on Tang Qian" gestures and said.
"Come on, Meta, you don't know I'm under a lot of pressure right now." Tang Qian was not confused and said calmly: "They all come with high expectations. If I show 'dehydration' tonight,
Then I don’t need to say more about what will happen tomorrow.”
"The higher the expectations, the greater the pressure."
"Haha~ I'm glad you can still keep your head clear~" Ci Shiping said: "But excessive caution does not apply in the NBA. When your time comes, you must enjoy it and seize it to the fullest, otherwise you may not be able to do it next time.
It can only appear in dreams." After Tang Qian listened, he looked at Ci Shiping in surprise and said, "Meta, this is the first time I've known you for so long that I realize that you can say such profound things.
Ah~ People really can’t be judged by their appearance~”
"That's right!" Ci Shiping immediately raised his head proudly and said, "I usually keep my secrets secret!"
"Come on." Tang Qian saw Ci Shiping returning to normal, shook his head and smiled.
"By the way, seriously, Tong, you won't do another 40+ tonight, will you?" Ci Shiping suddenly put away his playful smile and asked Tang Qian seriously. Tang Qian looked at him for a few seconds.
, then slowly opened his mouth and smiled: "Why.not?"
The Lakers' lineup is still: Kobe, Howard, Ci Shiping, Du Hong, and Tang Qian.
The Charlotte Bobcats are: Kemba Walker, Gerald Henderson, Byron Mullens, Bismack Biyombo, and Michael Gilchrist. When it comes to the insiders of this team,
Some people do, but unfortunately, the head coach of the Bobcats doesn't know how to look at people, and he doesn't know how to use them. Besides, he is just a "transitional period" head coach. He will leave after one year, so for the Bobcats
This person didn't care about the team's record. Anyway, Jordan didn't give him any tasks or targets. On the contrary, he vaguely meant to let him "fail". Under the boss's instruction, Mike Dunlap became even more
It’s “no desire and no need”.
Otherwise, with Bismack Biyombo, a strong future blue-collar guarantor, plus Byron Mullens, a "three-point shooting seven-foot center", plus Kemba Walker, there is no way he would be playing like this now.
The record is out. It can be seen that this new coach Mike Dunlap, who has never coached in the NBA, is purely a "fun ticket" invited by God Qiao. After this season, he will leave.
There is absolutely no possibility of staying on.
So in this context, he can't talk about how to plan the team or train the players.
Let everything take its course, which is Mike Dunlap's NBA strategy for this season.
Anyway, as long as the record is not too ugly, he will retire with success.
Beep beep~
The referee blew his whistle and the basketball was thrown high into the air.
The Lakers' 26th game of the season officially begins.
Due to the current situation of the Bobcats, the on-site commentators all had the attitude of "clocking in to work."
The first quarter was almost one-sided. Tang Qian went crazy inside to grab boards, and Kobe shot wildly from the outside. 27-10 in a single quarter, leading his opponent by 17 points in the first quarter. The second quarter was similar to the first quarter, Kobe got 10 points in a single quarter.
With 15 points, Tang Qian grabbed 15 rebounds in a single quarter. 53-30, leading by 23 points entering the second half.
In the locker room, everyone's concern was not how many points Kobe scored, but how many rebounds the Lakers grabbed on the 29th.
Turning over the statistics, Ci Shiping first screamed strangely: "Hell, I got 26 rebounds in the half. You kid is just crazy. Are you going to have 40+ rebounds again tonight?"
"Why not?" Tang Qian looked at Ci Shiping and smiled, and said softly: "I feel pretty good tonight."
PS: I will update the update for today, and I will find an opportunity to update it tomorrow~
