Chapter 364 Destroy the provocateur and the explosion is complete~
The Big Four of the Los Angeles Lakers VS the Big Three of the Miami Heat will be broadcast live nationwide on ESPN 1 tonight!
This is a promotional video that has been prepared for a long time, and the gimmick is attractive enough. However, the Lakers' poor record this season makes this promotional video less intense. A 25-12 leader in the Eastern Conference
, a 17-21 record that ranks 13th in the Western Conference. This huge record gap gives this official promotional video a hint of ridicule.
This is the Lakers' 39th game of the season. The game schedule is nearly halfway through, but the Purple and Gold Army seems to be far away from the top eight threshold.
Tonight's game will be a massacre! - ESPN expert Henry Abbott wrote on his personal Twitter.
Belly vs. seed? What kind of fierce competition is this? It’s just a boring gimmick! - ESPN expert Ron Turley.
Through data model analysis, the Lakers' probability of winning is only one percent! - ESPN data analysis expert Tom Hubbs.
The competition hasn't even started yet, but the voices of various public opinions have gradually become one-sided.
Not only ESPN, but also many authoritative sports media have predicted this. After all, the record gap between the two teams so far this season is really too wide. Therefore, it is natural for them to analyze it this way.
Most of the so-called experts who analyze competitive sports are "folk-mouthed" and like to make "second guesses". In fact, how can they analyze the real charm of competitive sports at will? Charles Barkley had a story back then.
Quote: Why should a group of people who have never touched a basketball judge me? Although this sentence is a bit extreme and a bit venting, if you think about it carefully, it is not completely unreasonable.
Before the game started, Gary Vitti frowned and looked at Lakers No. 24 and said: "Bryant, your physical condition is not good, even a little bad. Don't you feel it?" "I don't feel it.
I just want to win and keep winning." Kobe was referring to the Lakers' winning streak. He didn't want it to be interrupted so soon, even if the competitor was the championship team last season. "Brian
Special, as the chief team doctor of the Lakers, I think I have an obligation to remind you that you are no longer a young man in his 20s, you are over 34 years old. If you continue to show off, your body will not be able to bear it!"
Kobe paused, and after a while, he said, "Aren't you and Judy still there?"
"Bryant! We are doctors! Not magicians! Not even God!" Gary Vitti seemed a little angry, and unknowingly raised his voice and said: "You are simply making fun of your own body by doing this! You
You know, doctors also need the cooperation of patients, otherwise doctors will be no different from street gangsters in white coats!" In the entire Lakers team, Gary Vitti was one of the few people qualified to speak to Kobe like this. Kobe heard this
After being silent for a while, he shook his head and said: "That's not my playing style, so I have decided to play in this game."
"You...!!!" When Gary Vitti heard what Kobe said, he suddenly became angry and said directly: "Then it's up to you! You act like this, you don't take us seriously at all! You don't take us seriously at all!
Medical science is being ignored!" But he was still angry, and in the end Gary Vitti ordered Judy Seto to give Kobe Bryant a set of full-body physical therapy massage.
"I knew you wouldn't give up on me." Kobe said with a smile while receiving physical therapy from Judy Seto.
"You, you, I watched you grow up with the Lakers. Can't you stop being so competitive sometimes?"
"I can't help it. I've been used to it for more than ten years." Kobe replied.
In the evening, the Staples Center was crowded. Since Los Angeles is the base of Hollywood, there are many Hollywood stars who came to watch the game or show their faces. Two little girls, Sophia and Sestin, also came as usual.
At the scene, since meeting Tang Qian, they have basically never missed a Lakers home game.
After watching so many live games, Sestin's basketball knowledge has been rapidly enriched, at least he is no longer the pure beginner he was before.
As soon as you enter the court, you can see that the mental states of Miami and the Lakers are completely different. Each of their faces is filled with the desire to fight and the belief of winning. They are worthy of being a team that successfully defended the title this season. This kind of spirit
God, far beyond the scope of ordinary strong teams. It seems that it is not unreasonable for the outside world to unanimously look down on the Lakers.
ESPN Live Room.
"Two of you, who are you optimistic about tonight's game?" Rachel Nix asked as usual.
"Needless to say, I am a loyal fan of Miami, so I naturally support Miami!" The visitors tonight are Alonzo Mourning and Isiah Thomas.
"I am also optimistic about Miami winning." Isiah Thomas said: "After several seasons of running in, the Miami Big Three have already formed a tacit understanding and chemical reaction. The Lakers are different. They are still in a state of disunity and have no chemistry at all.
I don't see any signs of unity. It's going to be too difficult for Los Angeles to win in this situation."
"Well, yes, the Lakers' record this season is indeed not ideal." Rachel Knicks quickly changed the subject and said: "Then let's guess who the best player tonight is? Two.
A team with seven All-Star caliber players is worthy of our guessing."
"I guess it's Dwyane Wade!" Alonzo Mourning said directly. He is the kind of person who is more emotional. Because he and Wade won the NBA championship together, so for "The Flash", he
Feelings are very special.
"Okay~ Alonzo guessed it was Dwyane Wade. What about you, Isiah?" Rachel Knicks turned around and asked.
"I guess it's LeBron James." Isiah Thomas said: "He has entered his prime this season. Looking at the statistics, his field goal percentage has exceeded the 55% mark, entering the stage of his prime.
The realm of inside shooting percentage. The three-point shooting percentage has reached over 40% for the first time, and the PER efficiency value has entered the terrifying 31+ level. You must know that in the history of the NBA, there are only a handful of players who can achieve a PER efficiency value of more than 31+.
, they are all well-known big names. The fact that LeBron can enter this 'club' is enough to prove his greatness and extraordinary this season. And against such a monster at its peak, even if the Lakers have the so-called 'four
I don't think it means much."
Isiah Thomas's analysis is much more in-depth than Mourning. After all, he used to be a star player who relied on his head to play.
And he was right. When a historical super giant reaches the peak of his heyday, the power is almost unstoppable. On the other hand, the Lakers, although they are known as the "Four Kings", in fact, except for Howard,
, everyone is over 32 years old. Such a lineup is not really luxurious at all. Why is it said that the 'New Four Heavenly Kings' are far inferior to the 'Old Four Heavenly Kings'? This is the problem, because the latter
O'Neal and Kobe are both in their prime. Even if they are not at their peak, they are still at the top of their game. So paired with Malone and Payton, even if they fail to win the championship in the end, they will still enter the finals and have the best strength.
The whole league. But what about the former? In fact, this is just wearing the cloak of one of the "Four Kings". Gasol is not at his peak, Nash has greatly deteriorated, and Howard has a serious back injury that has not healed. What about Kobe? It looks like the data is gorgeous, and the hits
The rate and efficiency have reached the best in recent years, but if you look at it more comprehensively, he is no longer Kobe at his peak. The disintegration of his offensive and defensive skills means that he is just a Kobe who can barely attack at his peak.
It can only be described as the tail of the peak. If these four people are truly at their respective peaks, then if nothing else, no matter how many conflicts there are, no matter how there is no tacit understanding and chemical reaction, this is still a guaranteed result in the finals.
As fans, it is easy to be fooled by the publicity stunts of these teams, but as retired stars, their vision is much sharper. At least when looking at the luxurious lineup, they will analyze it more comprehensively and in-depth, and will not let these
No matter how famous a person is, they will get carried away.
In the first quarter of the game, the Lakers were in a big predicament. For some reason, Kobe only made one of his five shots in the opening game. His defender, Dwyane Wade, relied on the Heat's tacit understanding.
Pick-and-roll, frequent attacks, and 5 of 8 shots in a single quarter, scoring 10 points. Gasol and Howard both performed poorly. Under the Heat's ultra-high-speed defensive rotation, their giant heights became a disadvantage.
Often caught in the Heat's help defense and double-teaming.
If Ci Shiping hadn't had a few convulsions and made two three-pointers, the Lakers would not have been only 8 points behind in a single quarter.
A simple section shows the strength gap between the two teams. The Miami Heat are worthy of being the defending champions. The overall offensive and defensive system is well-organized, with a degree of advance and retreat. The level of tacit understanding between the players is also very high. What about the Lakers?
In contrast, it was a team of high school students, each fighting on their own and relying on their own individual abilities to attack.
It's like one side is a well-trained regular army, while the other side is just a temporary patchwork of stragglers.
Tang Qian did not get playing time in this quarter because the main players of the two teams fought too fiercely and did not give the substitutes any chance to intervene.
22-30, the Lakers trailed by eight points entering the second quarter.
In the second quarter of the game, Tang Qian got a chance to play. The Lakers replaced the main lineup to rest, leaving only Nash and Gasol to lead the team. The other side also replaced the Big Three, don't look at Wade, James, and Paul.
He is even younger than Kobe Bryant, but his actual playing time per game is even lower than that of the old man. Someone once said that Erik Spoelstra's greatest contribution to the Heat was reasonable arrangements."
The playing time of the "Big Three" is what he has done most successfully.
However, for the Lakers, neither of the two head coaches has this ability.
"Hi~ Asian guy, I heard that you were doing well some time ago? Did you step on too many dogs and shit when you went out?"
Tang Qian turned his head, looked at the speaker and said, "So it's you, Joel Anthony."
"Do you know why Miami signed you?"
"Because they have no money, they signed you to make up the money."
"Got it? Canuck?"
"What are you talking about??? You are just a non-drafted player!!! What do you have to be arrogant about???" Upon hearing this, Joel Anthony immediately shouted back. "You are talking as if you are a drafted player.
." Tang Qian glanced at the other party and continued: "Hey, let me tell you, are you only 2 meters long? How come I can directly see your hair?"
"You fart! The labor and wages are real 206CM!!!"
"206CM?" Tang Qian said with a smile: "Then why are you here on the inside? Aren't you afraid of being slapped on the ass?"
"Asshole, do you want to anger me???" Joel Anthony yelled.
"So what if I've angered you? Not to mention that you provoked me first! Even if you didn't provoke me, you're not in my target group! Do you understand?" Seeing that his opponent was still yelling, Tang Qian shook his head and said directly
He interrupted: "Do you want to beat me? Have you considered your own weight? Are you enough for me to beat you?" As soon as Tang Qian said these words, Joel Anthony was stunned.
, because video images flashed through his mind quickly, and the level of violence and inhumanity was definitely not something he could compare to at the moment.
This is the shadow of a famous tree. Ever since the last playoff brawl, many people have subconsciously become timid when they see Tang Qian.
Because the visual impact caused by that video was really too great.
It's so big that just thinking about it makes my whole body feel hairy.
Humph, I may not be able to beat you in a fight, but that's not necessarily the case in basketball! I will definitely beat you to death tonight!
Joel Anthony is a typical short and stocky defensive center. Because of his short height, he has great mobility and defensive coverage in the penalty area. He has also seen Tang Qian's statistics before, and he is as defensive as himself.
A typical blue-collar player, his offensive ability makes people anxious. Therefore, he had a plan in mind to make this Oriental man look embarrassed!
"Hey, Oriental guy, if you can, just score on my head! The basketball court is not a fighting arena, and fighting well is not a skill!" After hearing Joel Anthony's provocation, Tang Qian was too lazy to go.
I don't care, because this guy has never averaged more than 3.5 points per game in his career, and has not averaged more than 4 rebounds per game. As a substitute insider who previously averaged nearly 20 minutes per game, this data sheet is simply a mess. By this season,
His status in the team has plummeted, with only a pitiful 9+ playing time left, and his average data dropped to 1.4 points and 1.9 rebounds per game. If it weren't for the Miami Heat, he would be the keeper of the water cooler. And this
Tang Qian only found it boring and uninteresting to compete among inside players at different levels.
But he was too lazy to take care of it, but someone from the Lakers team helped take care of it, and he was Steve Nash.
"Hot~ Someone is provoking you~ Why don't you come on right away?"
Tang Qian turned around and said, "Steve, you."
"Hot~ This is the NBA~ Only by teaching your opponents a lesson can you increase your popularity and fame~ So give the fiercest counterattack." Steve Nash blinked and said: "I will watch you from a distance."
