By the time the starting players gradually came on the court in the second quarter, the Lakers had already caught up with the 8-point score difference, 41-41, and the two sides were tied.
Tang Qianqian played 6 and a half minutes and made 4 of 4 shots, scoring 8 points, 2 rebounds and 1 block.
This kind of data is currently extremely rare in Tang Qian's career.
As Steve Nash said, his offensive combat effectiveness has gradually taken shape.
And it will be even stronger in the future.
But the protagonist of this game is still the "Four Kings VS Three Giants", so Tang Qian's performance was like a flash in the pan, and was quickly overwhelmed by the duel between the main players. For the rest of this quarter, the Lakers chief
Kobe Bryant, the scorer, still had a poor touch and only made one of his 4 shots. Counting this whole first half, his field goal percentage was 2 of 9, which was only 22.2%.
However, it could be seen from Tang Qian's bench that tonight, No. 24 of the Los Angeles Lakers, seemed to be in poor physical condition.
Whether it is running or jumping, it is a little slower than usual. This may not be a problem for ordinary people, but in the fiercely competitive NBA, it is very disadvantageous. I remember before today's game, Kobe was once
Gary Vitti was called away alone, and he didn't know what was said between the two of them. Anyway, when he finally came out, the latter's face looked very ugly.
What about the Heat? James and the Flash both performed extremely well in the first half, scoring 18 points on 9-for-12 shooting and 13 points on 5-for-10 shooting. Both of their shooting percentages exceeded
50%, which is already considered the top level among outside players.
At the end of the last half, the Lakers were 45-48, trailing by three points and entering the second half.
In the locker room, Dwight Howard started to complain again. He didn't mention anyone by name, but just kept complaining: "Can you outside players pass the ball to me more and look at my shooting percentage tonight?"
The best on the entire team!" Although he didn't say who it was on the surface, the intention behind it was quite obvious. Because throughout the first half, Kobe shot the most shots and had the lowest shooting percentage.
In fact, from Tang Qian's point of view, Kobe's touch was not good tonight, that's true, but the team's last bomb ball was thrown to No. 24 for processing. In this case, at least 2 goals were consumed.
In fact, looking at the entire league, maybe the Los Angeles Lakers, most of the bomb balls are handled by the chief star. Tang Qian has seen a statistics from Yahoo Sports before. In the last 3 to 5 seconds of basketball handling, Kobe Bryant
It has the most processing times. And the number is the highest in the entire league, and it is not at the same level as the second place.
The ball is handled in the last 3 to 5 seconds, commonly known as the bomb ball, because the attack time is almost exhausted and there are not many options for the ball handler to react. Therefore, the shooting percentage during this period is the lowest in the entire 24-second area.
How much lower than a normal offense? More than half. Therefore, most stars will habitually protect their shooting percentage and pass the bomb ball in their hands to their teammates for shooting. If they score in this way, they will count as an assist. If they don't score, they will count as an assist.
, it doesn’t have much to do with myself, and it won’t drop any shooting percentage data.
James Harden likes to do this kind of thing this season, so "passing the buck" is one of the things that will be most criticized by "Lin Mi" in the future. However, we must also understand that the league is now a big data league. From laymen to
Experts, without exception, are data controllers, so for their own benefit, sometimes rookie stars will deal with it this way. But when you really grow up, you will understand that in fact, you should do the bombing yourself.
After all, you are the star player. If there is no big open space, then in the last few seconds, your teammates' shooting probability will definitely be lower than yours. So, if you don't shoot, who will shoot? But... No. 24 of the Lakers also shot too many
Points, almost more than 3 to 4 in every game, and what makes people speechless is that he is not bored at all.
So being a Lakers player is sometimes a blessing, because as long as things don’t work out, you can just dump the blame on the boss and wait for the results. You never have to worry about being dumped or what bombs will be dropped.
ball".
Perhaps Lakers No. 24’s understanding of responsibilities and obligations is different from normal people.
But Howard doesn't care so much. He will spray it when he gets the opportunity, otherwise it seems that he cannot show his status in the team.
And Tang Qian remembers clearly that there was a bomb ball in the second quarter, which was passed from Dwight Howard's hands to Kobe. At that time, there were only 2 seconds left in the attack time, and there was someone defending in front of Kobe.
, but he still chose to pass the ball.
Of course, his brain will not store this kind of thing.
Kobe didn't refute, because tonight he felt as if his body was stuck in ice, numb and cold from head to toe.
I have never encountered this state in the first dozen seasons of my career.
However, this man just likes to grit his teeth and persevere. Until now in his career, he has "overcome" countless injuries that prevented him from playing. Kobe Bryant's physical endurance is really not as good as that of outsiders.
He is so strong as expected, not to mention compared with aliens like Jordan and James, even many first-line stars, their durability is far better than Kobe. Then why is Kobe labeled "durable" by the outside world?
What about the "fuck" label? There is one reason. He could not get out of the firing line even when he was slightly injured, or even seriously injured. In Tang Qian's last memory, Judy Seto said in a 2014 interview with "Sports Illustrated" that the Lakers
Team No. 24's "pain valve" is the most terrifying thing he has ever seen.
The so-called "pain valve" refers to the lowest amount of stimulation that causes pain in medicine.
According to Judy Seto, Kobe dislocated his finger against the Cavaliers in 2009. This injury is fatal for outside players because it means that you almost lose the ability to shoot. But Kobe
How did he do it? During the timeout, he completed the reset on his own and then continued to play. This does not mean that he did not feel pain or that there was no physical injury at all. It just means that he was able to endure and not be affected by that kind of injury.
The same applies even if he can continue to play and score two free throws after his Achilles tendon is ruptured in the future.
An Achilles tendon tear like Kobe's would happen to an ordinary person. It would be possible for ordinary people to roll on the floor and cry to the sky, let alone continue to play free throws. At this point, it is Judy Seto, and at the same time
This is also what thousands of Kobe fans appreciate the most.
His physical fitness is actually not enough to support him to reach the top ten positions in history.
Among the stars of that year, how many had worse physical fitness than him? Most of them were even better than him.
But in the end, he was the only one to realize his talent.
Completely fulfilled.
Not a drop of it was wasted.
Judy Seto doesn't have any more descriptions about this kind of thing, but real Kobe fans should each have their own memories.
In April 2011, during the playoffs, Kobe sprained his left foot in Game 4 against the Hornets and needed to be crutched when leaving the arena. But he immediately asked to continue participating in home games without any pain at all.
Obstacle.
During the 2009 championship, Kobe wore bandages and dragged his broken fingers all the way until he won the Larry O'Brien Trophy.
…
Not to mention that his paranoia about winning is so noble, but Kobe's paranoia about playing is definitely the pinnacle in the entire NBA.
Apart from Qiao Shen, Tang Qian doesn't think anyone else can compare with him in terms of spiritual will.
When a person leads his team to a championship with a bandaged hand, and when the outside world has become accustomed to a person playing with injuries, then this person's will is definitely outstanding, even abnormal.
And this aspect is where Tang Qian truly admires Kobe.
This is also the area where he needs to be strengthened most in the future.
Because the NBA is a cruel battlefield. If you give in a little bit or compromise a little bit, you may fall or even disappear from everyone. How to become a real super strong player, a real top star, physical skills + mental will, then
Only in this way can he reach his peak state. How did Jordan become the unparalleled king? Just his body? Just his skills? No, in these aspects alone, although he is also super strong, there are still people who can match him. But physical skills + mental will
After that, he entered another realm, another level.
No one can beat him.
Want to explode? Want to explode? Want to be super? Want to enter the "THR.ZONE" mode for a long time?
That only requires physical skills + mental will. Both aspects are indispensable.
Why did Dashuai Zhang have the body of an alien but only have two championships in his life? His physical skills were unrivaled at the time. Even newspapers said he was "Zeus level". Russell was actually compared with him.
, personal abilities are not in the same dimension at all. Whether it is scoring, rebounding, defense, or even his best shot blocking, he is no match for the former. The matchup data is basically completely blown away. But the career trajectories of the two,
But there is a huge difference day by day. If Chamberlain had won 11 championships that year, what would have happened? With super data and super honors, let alone killing Joe God, there is no problem at least keeping the same.
Why is this happening? In terms of mental will, to be honest, it is a weakness of Marshal Zhang.
Having too many hobbies, dabbling too much, snapping too much, etc. are all mental and will problems, which led to him not fully devoting himself to the sport of basketball.
And the most important thing is that his desire to win the game is too low.
Far from being one of the top five super giants in history, he has the desire to win that he should have.
In the second year of his career, Chamberlain even had the idea of retiring.
With this way of playing, he can still win two championship rings. It can only be said that his physical skills are already supreme and invincible. Otherwise, he has really maintained the focus and concentration of the 1966-67 season, 2
Championships? More than 6 is not a problem at all. In fact, if it weren't for that season, Chamberlain showed far more mental will than usual, how could he have broken the Boston Celtics' "nine consecutive championships"? I really thought he could break a sound lineup.
It is so easy to create a super dynasty? If it is so easy, then why has no one done it before?
So from Tang Qian's point of view, Chamberlain is the most mismatched person in terms of physical skills + mental will.
It's just his monster body that only managed to win two championship rings? That's simply a pity.
No, it should be said to be ridiculous.
Therefore, with Lakers No. 24, Tang Qian clearly understands what he should absorb and learn the most, and what exactly it is.
If he also wants to become one of the top ten players in history, he must learn this.
In the third quarter of the game, Howard's locker room complaints had an effect. He got a lot of low ball rights from the beginning, but the great show of power that people thought he had, did not appear. Under the Heat's high-intensity defensive rotation, Howard
The first four shots all ended in failure, which caused the score difference between the Lakers and Heat to widen a lot in an instant.
There was no way, Kobe took over the offensive banner again, but just like the first half, Kobe's state was really bad. He continued to make 1 of 7 shots in a single quarter, putting the Lakers into a huge scoring crisis. At this time
, Los Angeles fans finally realized how spoiled they were in the past, as if as long as that man was around, the Lakers would never lack offensive firepower and never worry about scoring shortages. But the time was set to 2013, this
The man has already turned 34 years old. He is not the No. 23 in Chicago. His body can no longer maintain stable support.
Physical fitness is indeed the biggest difference between Kobe and Joe.
This is also the biggest disadvantage.
No matter how hard he trains, his body just can't compare. Especially in terms of delaying aging, his body functions are far inferior to Michael Jordan's.
This is helpless.
It's also sad.
By the time Tang Qian came on the court again, the Lakers' deficit had been stretched to 16 points.
55-71, this game only entered the third quarter, and the Staples Center was already silent.
What does it mean that the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment? When Nash and Howard were acquired, Lakers fans were very excited and thought that this year's finals were destined to be the Lakers VS Heat. But the facts proved that all this was a dream.
, the record was a mess, and against the Heat, there was no intention of a strong confrontation. It was completely one-sided. Many fans who couldn't calm down had already started to pack up in advance and were preparing to leave the game.
They no longer want to witness the tragic situation of Kobe Bryant and the Lakers with their own eyes.
Mike D'Antoni seemed to have seen the trend of this game. In order to reduce the team's consumption, he began to replace Kobe, Howard, Gasol, and Ci Shiping. As a head coach of a professional team, sometimes you have to
Giving up one game, because the Lakers still have forty or fifty games left to play, cannot be done just for the sake of temporary motivation and the stamina of the entire team.
The same goes for the Heat. Seeing that the main players of the Lakers were off the court, Erik Spoelstra replaced the Big Three in order to save some energy and prepare for tomorrow's back-to-back games.
The emotions of the Lakers players on the court were not very high. From Jamison to Meeks, they all looked defeated and lacked energy.
"Hot~ Do you still have energy?" The person who spoke was Steve Nash.
"Of course." Tang Qian nodded and said, "The game is not over yet, everything is still possible."
"That's right." Steve Nash said: "What does 16 points mean? Go defeat your opponent!"
"Okay." Tang Qian said: "I will try my best, Steve."
Just after Tang Qian finished speaking, a "dang" sound came into his head.
Tied with 16 points.
PS: Although I’m back late, I’ve promised to update more and that will never change!
Xiaozi will continue to write!
As for Russell's shot-blocking numbers being inferior to Chamberlain's, there are not only newspaper statistics and video statistics from later generations, but also the verbal testimony of the late famous NBA statistician Harvey Pollack. One single figure may have limited persuasiveness, but three
Adding all the aspects together, it should be correct. I would like to explain it here.
