At halftime, T.N.T live broadcast room.

"Hey, look at this replay? He actually took Carmelo Anthony's punch easily? Is this acting in a movie?" Kenny Smith looked at the replay on the big screen and said in surprise. "That's it.

It's not just that." Reggie Miller also said: "After he caught the opponent's fist, he obviously controlled the opponent. He didn't see Anthony suppressing his face and trying to withdraw his fist, but he tried five or six times.

Did you succeed? The hand strength of this Eastern boy is definitely not ordinary!"

"Shaq, can you do it to his level?" Kenny Smith suddenly asked.

O'Neal didn't change his expression and blurted out directly: "Of course, it doesn't matter, it's trivial."

In fact, O'Neal himself was shocked by this replay screen. He knew very well that even at his peak, it was quite difficult to achieve this point. However, he still wanted to destroy No. 29's defense.

He is full of confidence, because playing basketball is not just about bench pressing, large-tonnage explosions are his trump card. Otherwise, Malone and Wallace are much better than O'Neal in bench pressing, but they are still basically destroyed when fighting alone in the paint.

So the bench press strength does not represent everything, it is just a member of the strength family.

What? You said that Ben Wallace defended O'Neal in the 2004 Finals? Please, don't be fooled by the highlights. If you only talk about a few highlights, then even Joe God can make a torture video in one season.

.In fact, in the 2004 Finals, the "old four kings" were O'Neal who performed normally, with a data of close to 27+11 and a shooting rate of over 63%. Although it is not as terrifying as the three consecutive championships, it is definitely still

It cannot be said that he was defended. Otherwise, most of the others would be rubbish. This insider data is enough to rank in the middle or upper class in the history of the finals.

To be fair, Kobe + Malone + Payton were blamed for the finals that year. Kobe was too toxic, Malone was injured, and Payton was lost. No matter how you look for objective reasons, subjective factors cannot be ignored. If

Kobe is not so vicious and works as well as he did during the three consecutive championships. If Malone is not injured in the playoffs and still maintains his efficiency in the first few rounds, if Payton gives a little more strength, then... But unfortunately, there is no such thing in the NBA.

Talk about "if" and don't talk about "if".

If you lose, you lose.

There is no reason to explain it.

Because basketball is a competitive sport.

Carmelo Anthony also received a T for this action. He was so angry that he actually picked up a towel and threw it at the referee Ken Mohr. Who is Ken Mohr? One of the famous NBA whistleblowers who has been serving as a whistleblower for 26 years.

First, he has witnessed the entire careers of countless basketball superstars. Who does Carmelo Anthony count? In his eyes, he doesn’t even count!

I, Michael Jordan, have boasted about you, but I am still afraid of you, Carmelo Anthony? What a joke!

So without any hesitation, he handed out another technical foul, and then pointed directly to the outside, sending the New York Knicks' No. 7 out to enjoy the coolness. Anthony finally threw away his headband with a curse, and then walked angrily into the tunnel.

.

Without two generals, J.R. Smith and Carmelo Anthony, the New York Knicks collapsed instantly. They played in a mess in the third quarter and were directly beaten by the Lakers with a 30-5 spurt. As for Tang Qian,

He continued his great work of rebounding. Although the furious state was gone, the effect of the silver rebound card was still there, so all his focus was transferred to rebounding.

"Hot~I grabbed the rebound~"

"Hot~I grabbed the offensive rebound~"

"Hot~I grabbed the backcourt rebound~"

"Hot~Another rebound came in~"

In the commentary voice of Bill McDonald, Tang Qian racked up 18 rebounds in the third quarter, directly tying the single-quarter rebound record set by Nate Thurmond in February 1965. In this way,

Even though Tang Qian only got 3 rebounds in the first quarter, after three quarters, his rebound count reached 35.

35 times! And there is still a whole quarter left in the game! It looks like Tang Qian will reach 40+ rebounds again tonight!

As for Howard, his rebound count never increased. It was as if someone had cast freezing magic and he was completely frozen. His eyes when he looked at Tang Qian were full of resentment and anger, but at the same time, they were full of resentment and anger.

There was nothing I could do about it.

As soon as he looked at the opponent's rebound data, he knew that he would have no chance tonight.

In the fourth quarter, it was already garbage time, but in order to satisfy the wishes of nearly 20,000 people at Staples Center, Mike D'Antoni still made a concession and allowed Tang Qian to continue playing and finished with 40 rebounds.

Alas, another 2 rebounds were wasted. What a waste~

Tang Qian had to walk off the stage while "sighing".

Of course, he also understands that this is Mike D'Antoni protecting himself, because tonight, he is enough to become a public enemy of the Big Apple City. He has "killed" two New York Knicks players in a row. What else can be better than this?

To attract more hatred? That's why Mike D'Antoni replaced Tang Qian early.

At the end of the game, the Lakers won by a big score. Kobe had 34 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, Nash had 16 points, 11 assists and 2 rebounds, Ci Shiping had 20 points and 7 assists, and Tang Qian had 17

He scored 40 rebounds, 14 blocks and 5 assists. Therefore, there is no doubt that the best player tonight is No. 29 of the Lakers.

"Hot~ How does it feel to be elected the best player in a row?" A blond reporter in the bleachers, wearing 10 cm high heels, walked up to Tang Qian and asked. "Great!" Tang Qian can now handle it alone.

He was interviewed by this kind of media, so he replied with a smile: "But what I want to say is that this is not the result of me alone. This is the result of the efforts of all the team members, because if we fail to win in the end, then any data

, will all be pale and powerless.”

At the post-game press conference, Mike D'Antoni did not hesitate to praise and boast. The level of praise was obviously stronger and more obvious than in the previous games. Kobe also deserved it.

In front of all the reporters, he said that he admired this oriental man very much and hoped to increase the time to work with him in the future. As soon as this sentence came out, many thoughtful people thought of something, then their eyes lit up and they began to write "shushuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashuashushuashuashu""" in their shorthand notebooks.

Recorded it in a flash.

"Mr. Nash, what do you think of Fang's performance? What is the upper limit of his future achievements?"

"Extremely good." Nash said without concealment: "With him, I feel that the team doesn't have to worry about shooting percentage at all."

"Tang, how would you rate this game?"

This week, Tang Qian has been a regular at the Lakers' post-game press conference, so he smiled and replied: "10 points, because I like this kind of performance very much."

17 points, 40 rebounds, 14 blocks and 5 assists. After getting this kind of super "triple-double" data, there is really no need for him to be overly modest, because it would be too fake to be modest. This

If you are not satisfied with all these data, do you still want to go to heaven? Do you still want to get 4 pairs? Therefore, Tang Qian's answer is reasonable and makes people feel that there is no sense of violation.

Because he deserves all the praise and honor tonight.

"Mr. D'Antoni, I have one last question."

"Excuse me." Mike D'Antoni said in a very happy mood because the Lakers continued their winning streak.

"Regarding the conflict between Deng and Howard in the first half, what was the reason? Was it unintentional or intentional when Howard elbowed and crossed people?" After hearing this question, Mike D'Antoni immediately stopped smiling. He first said

After looking at the reporter's press card and confirming that he was an ESPN reporter, he slowly said: "Regarding this issue, I can only say that it is a small internal friction within the team, but it does not affect anything, because both Fang and Howard

He is a professional player and does not care too much about personal feelings." Seeing the Lakers head coach's official answer, the ESPN reporter was very dissatisfied, so he continued to ask: "What about elbow strikes and crossovers? Can you explain it?"

Mike D'Antoni frowned and said: "I think this reporter friend is overthinking it. It was just an unintentional and unexpected action. Dwight was too focused at the time, so he didn't notice the surrounding situation." After finishing speaking,

, seeing that the ESPN reporter was still talking, D'Antoni stood up instantly, then spoke to the team press officer behind him, and left the scene with all the Lakers players.

Upon seeing this, the ESPN reporter wanted to ask more questions, but was stopped by the Lakers' press officer, who then politely said: "I'm sorry, sir, the interview time is over. If you have any questions, please ask them next time."

While walking on the road, Mike D'Antoni suddenly said: "Hom, I promised you to practice for two hours after the game. You haven't forgotten it, right? Although we won, the things that should be done still need to be carried out. You

Do you have any objections?" "No, Mr. D'Antoni, this is what it should be." Tang Qian did not refute and nodded directly.

"Well, let's go over first. All the audience should have left." Seeing Tang Qian's attitude, Mike D'Antoni nodded in his heart again, because a spirit of neither arrogance nor impatience is what he needs.

An inside model. Otherwise, if he plays well, his tail will be raised to the sky. No matter how potential that kind of person has, he will not dare to use it randomly. The core Baron in Los Angeles is intricately connected, and his actions should not be too big every time. Otherwise, the Knicks last year

This is a lesson learned from the past.

Teams in big cities always have many more problems and troubles than teams in small cities.

"Mr. D'Antoni, let me go too. I haven't exercised enough in the game just now." Unexpectedly, No. 24 of the Lakers actually spoke at this time. Mike D'Antoni turned to look at Kobe, as if

I wanted to see something from his eyes, but unfortunately, Kobe was very experienced, so he didn't succeed.

"Then let's go together, Bryant, it just so happens that we can practice some more passing and cutting coordination." Steve Nash helped Mike D'Antoni make a timely save.

"Okay~ Well, let's go together." Mike D'Antoni finally nodded.

At the same time, somewhere else in Los Angeles, someone was secretly thinking:

Chinaman~ I can never let you continue to be arrogant~ Do you think I have no way to deal with you? Hehe~ Just wait and see~

I'll let you understand the status gap between bench players and superstar players.

This is by no means just on the field!!!

…

Returning to the arena at Staples Center, it was completely empty, making this huge stadium feel like a vacuum.

You can hear the needle drop.

Tang Qian, Nash, Kobe, and D'Antoni, standing inside, are like droplets in the ocean.

Without the audience, the commentary, the spotlight, and the music, the Staples Center suddenly became extremely quiet.

"Hot, I just defended Dwight in the post-game press conference. Aren't you unhappy?" Mike D'Antoni said first. "No, sir, as a member of the Lakers, I understand your point.

Difficulties and hardships." Tang Qian shook his head and said, because he knew that being a head coach in a place like Los Angeles is really not an easy task. There are too many things that need to be considered comprehensively, both on and off the court. This was something he had never done before.

When he played professional basketball, he didn't have a deep impression, but since he entered the NBA and the Lakers, he understood that the NBA league is by no means a purely competitive league.

"Well, first of all, thank you for your understanding," Mike D'Antoni said: "As the head coach of the team, I sometimes have to say something that goes against my will. After all, basketball is still a team sport. We care too much about personal gains and losses. We will

It fell apart from within."

"I understand, sir." Tang Qian nodded and said sincerely.
