"I, what are you yelling at me for? You are not good at coaching, and you have brought the team to this state, so you still have the nerve to yell at me?" Howard also had a "superstar temperament", so he immediately became unhappy and opened his mouth to retort. How could he know that this was the case?
, which can be said to add fuel to the fire, making Mike D'Antoni's sensitive nerves shake again.
"My coaching ability is not good? Have you played well according to my tactics? You know how to get the ball in the low post all day long. Do you think you are Ewing? Do you think you are O'Neal? The shooting and turnover rates are so ridiculous, and...
Do you dare to question my coaching ability?" Mike D'Antoni is actually much more tempered than Mike Brown. Look at what he did in New York and what he did in Phoenix. They are all very bold.
I supported Jeremy Lin in New York, so I ended up being grouped with big-name stars.
In the era when the traditional style of play was popular, he was the first to introduce small ball tactics and run-and-gun tactics. Unlike previous small ball coaches, he played vigorously and eventually even changed the style and style of play in the entire league. So he and the former Lakers
The team's head coach, Mike Brown, is different. He is a person with courage and character. At least, he has much more character than Brown.
Hearing Mike D'Antoni expose his shortcomings in public, Dwight Howard was immediately angry. He suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Who are you calling the shooting and turnover rates ridiculous? Don't think so.
I call you head coach and you will go to heaven. Let me tell you, in my heart, you are simply an incompetent head coach and unworthy of being in charge of the ship of the 'Four Heavenly Kings'!"
"Am I incompetent? Am I not worthy?" Mike D'Antoni was also annoyed. He thought of his tolerance in recent times. He was not afraid of the tall "Warcraft" and said: "Then I will win for you today!"
After Mike D'Antoni finished speaking, he pointed at Tang Qian and said: "Tang, you will come on the field later to replace this rude guy! Then everyone, work together to win this game!"
"Not for me, but also for the jersey you are wearing!"
"Not just for the jersey you are wearing, but also for the honor of your professional players!"
"Everyone must win this game tonight. If we win, I'll treat the whole team to a big dinner!"
“It’s up to you to choose a three-star Michelin restaurant in downtown Los Angeles!”
Motivated by these words, the atmosphere of the entire Lakers team instantly improved a lot. It can be seen that Mike D'Antoni is still more capable of being a head coach than Mike Brown. Although not as good as those famous NBA coaches and thousands of
Coach Sheng, but among ordinary NBA coaches, his ability is definitely above average.
"Everyone come on!!!" Mike D'Antoni clapped his hands and shouted loudly.
During this period, the entire Lakers team was too depressed, from players to coaches, without exception, so they all needed an outlet. Tang Qian saw Mike D'Antoni's eyes, then nodded lightly and took off his clothes.
Wear insulated training clothes and keep your head up on the field.
Maybe Mike D'Antoni is not a famous coach, but he may trust himself, and that's enough.
After all, in the NBA, it’s not surprising that famous coaches don’t get championship trophies. There are several Qian Sheng coaches who have never won the Larry O’Brien Trophy. So just because he’s not a famous coach doesn’t mean he won’t have one.
Opportunities to win the trophy, this kind of example has been common throughout the 60-year history of the NBA. A little further, for example, Doc Rivers, if it were not for the "Hulk", he would not be able to touch the NBA championship trophy at all. He is a routine
A head coach whose game winning rate is much higher than his playoff winning rate. Another example is Tom Heinsohn, who is also a player-turned-head coach, and still has 2 championships in his career. Another example is Bill Fitch, who has a long coaching career, with 25 years.
In his coaching career, he only has one championship, but he still caught up with Larry Bird. Otherwise, with his 46% winning rate in the regular season, it would be extremely difficult to win a championship. He has also reached the finals 5 times and won the championship 2 times.
The same is true for K.C. Jones, who joined the "Big Bird" Bird. His coaching career only lasted 10 years and he changed 3 teams before achieving this result. In fact, leaving aside his 5 years in the Celtics
As a coach, the regular season was indeed good with a high winning rate, but the playoffs were equally miserable. In the first three years with the Bullets, the winning rate in the playoffs never exceeded 48%. In the last year with the SuperSonics, the winning rate in the playoffs was even worse, with only
40%. Therefore, his career playoff winning rate of 58.7% was all based on the Green Army for 5 years.
More recently, the same is true for the head coach of the Heat this season. Relying on the Miami Big Three, he won two NBA championships in just a few years.
So if possible, Tang Qian is willing to bring a championship trophy to the coach who trusts him.
No matter what the coaching level of this head coach is, it doesn't matter to him.
Because this is his Oriental plot.
It's a pity that Mike Brown missed it in such a confused way.
After changing this lineup, Mike D'Antoni was actually beating the drum in his heart, because it is unreasonable to suppress superstar players and let a substitute player come on. It's okay if you win, everyone will praise you for being eclectic.
, the coach is ruthless, and if he loses, the fans, reporters, experts, and management will probably not let him go.
The Lakers ball, Kobe took a shot, Duang~, and failed to hit the Jazz's basket.
Because of Howard's crazy shots, Kobe has only made two shots so far.
However, these two shots were all missed.
The Jazz lineup still has merits. The first is that there is no real center inside. The tallest one is Al Jefferson, who is only 208cm tall. The second is that the average height is very good.
Randy Foye, who plays guard, and the other four are all big men over 203cm, with both mobility and size. Although there is no true rim protector, taken together, the defensive efficiency is not bad.
In fact, Randy Foye can also be substituted at any time, because Tyrone Corbin also has a trump card, which is the "five-forward" lineup, which is very similar to Pat Riley's "Future Basketball" theory.
.
However, he has not adjusted well to this "five-forward" lineup, so it is not convenient for him to play together for too long for the time being.
Tang Qian wanted to compete for the offensive rebound, but soon he discovered the problem. He underestimated his opponent.
Don't look at the fact that the Jazz don't have a big man over 210cm, but their average rebounding ability is very scary. Look at the four forward players on the court now. Al Jefferson averages 9.2 rebounds per game, Paul.
Millsap averages 7.1 rebounds per game, Derrick Favors averages 7.1 rebounds per game, and there is another rebounder who is not very good, but Marvin Williams is 206cm tall. The advantage of this lineup is
, everyone has good rebounding ability, and everyone can be responsible for blocking the opponent, and then let teammates get the rebound.
Without paying attention, Marvin Williams stood in front of Tang Qian. He didn't even take off, just to block people. What about Gasol? He was also killed by Paul Millsap.
He resisted and prevented him from getting close to the bounce area of the rebound. In the end, the rebound was taken away by Al Jefferson of the Jazz.
Then they launched a fast break and Derek Favors dunked into the net.
26-39, the Lakers' score difference was widened to 13 points.
Seeing this, Mike D'Antoni regretted a little, because the Jazz's strategy of pushing people under the basket cannot be broken without a strong center. Although Gasol is 7 feet tall, his athletic ability and physical strength are not considered
Okay, protecting backcourt rebounds is okay, but if you want to count on offensive rebounds, the hope is slim. What about No. 29? Can he break this defensive rebounding tactic?
If it doesn't work, for the sake of the team's victory, he can only shamelessly replace it with Dwight Howard.
Is this a rebounding tactic? Yes, I didn’t expect this unknown Tyrone Corbin to have such a skill!
However, this tactic has a fatal shortcoming. Although it greatly strengthens the protection and rush of rebounds under the basket, because too many people enter the penalty area, once the rebound is missed, it is easy to be pushed for a fast break or rush.
Direct second long-range attack. Tang Qian saw this, but Jazz head coach Tyrone Corbin was not nervous, because seeing it and whether he could crack it were two different things. Just like Michael Jordan's fadeaway jumper
, the whole world knew that he was going to do this, but what happened next? It was just an egg.
He didn't believe that an Easterner could break through his defensive rebounding tactics.
This year is his third year taking over the old Sloan team. Last year, it entered the playoffs in the second year of its reconstruction. This also gave this new head coach great confidence. Unfortunately, all of this is a bubble and a reflection.
, and last year was also the peak of his entire coaching career.
Gasol's entire state, including injuries, system, mentality, pressure, etc., all made the Spaniard breathless. This season he even had the worst data of his career. Yes, you read that right.
, which is the worst of his career. The current basic statistics of 13+8 are much worse than his rookie season. He shot 46% from the field and also fell to the bottom of his career. The Spaniard is different from Kobe. He is the kind of person who is easily ignored by the outside world.
The people who influenced him, fans, reporters and experts saw him posting such bullshit data, and they immediately complained, as if Gasol was no longer suitable to continue playing in the NBA. But all this is an illusion, once Gasol
If I have regained my confidence and correct position on the team, I still have the strength of an All-Star power forward.
The two future All-Stars are evidence of this.
But now, Tang Qian can't count on him, because Gasol's slump is no longer a one-and-done situation this season.
If you want to wake him up instantly, Tang Qian is not a magician, so he can't do it.
Therefore, he can only rely on himself.
When the Lakers attacked, Ci Shiping missed a long-distance three-pointer and missed the basket.
"Get a rebound!"
The Lakers players shouted to the Jazz insider.
But in the ears of the Jazz coach, it was all in vain. He looked at his inside formation and thought to himself:
Without super strong inside players, you still want to break through my defensive lineup? This is simply ridiculous! Is it just a Spaniard who sleepwalks the whole game and a substitute Oriental guy?
Tang Qian couldn't hear this inner monologue, otherwise he would have told him, you are such a stinker!!!
Do you really think this lineup is unbreakable? Then how did your Jazz lose 19 of 42 games?
Tang Qian looked at the orange basketball flying high and thought to himself, rebounding, this is his strength.
And after practicing for a whole offseason, sweating profusely, and being "tortured and ravaged" by people crazily, for what reason?
Isn’t it just for now?
Yes, just for now.
Now is the time for me, Tang Qian, to show off.
"Can the Lakers grab rebounds? Alas, the Jazz's rebounding defensive tactics are too strong. There are two Jazz forwards blocking the position beside Feng and Gasol. It is probably difficult..." Lakers
Before the team's on-site commentator Stu Lantz finished speaking, Bill McDonald, who was sitting next to him, loudly explained: "The situation has changed. The team got rid of Marvin Williams' top man. He grabbed the ball."
When he got to the front, he took off with Derrick Favors, and he...he got the rebound one step ahead of Derrick Favors!"
This is Tang Qian's first personal data of this game, with offensive rebounds recorded.
After he got the ball, he quickly passed it out and Steve Nash was free to take a shot.
Brush~
A three-pointer went into the net.
29-39, thanks to Nash's three-pointer, the score difference was only 10 points.
What? He actually grabbed a rebound? Or an offensive rebound???
The head coach of the Jazz was slightly startled.
Since the Jazz's lineup is operating with four forwards, except for Randy Foye and Marvin Williams, no one else has the ability to shoot three-pointers. Paul Millsap will go to Atlanta in the future.
He has developed the ability to shoot three-pointers, but that will be for next season. This season, he still only took 0.5 three-pointers, and basically does not have the ability to shoot three-pointers.
Kobe Bryant posted Foye, Ci Shiping posted Marvin Williams. In this way, the Jazz's two three-pointers have basically disappeared. Especially the latter, because of Marvin Williams.
Si is too tall, so his steps are not particularly fast, which just suits Ci Shiping's appetite. Because Ci Shiping's defensive speed has degraded to the limit this season, it takes almost one step for him to defend fast players.
The rhythm has passed. But against players who are not fast, he can still exert some residual heat. After all, in a physical competition, Marvin Williams's body of less than 240 pounds is really no match for Ci Shiping.
So in this way, the main direction of the Jazz's attack becomes the inside.
Tang Qian glanced at the penalty area, ready to help defend and make up positions at any time.
"Derek Favors caught the ball and hit it hard. Gasol's reaction was a beat too slow. The ball was about to go in... oh~ Feng showed up. He stretched out his hand to interfere with the opponent. Derek Favors missed the ball.
Got it!"
After successfully covering up the interference, Tang Qian quickly exerted his strength, took off a second time, and grabbed the defensive rebound.
Steve Nash didn't even enter the paint, so he dribbled the ball directly for a fast break. After the Jazz defenders got closer, he flipped with his hand and completed an alley-oop with the old Mamba. You must know that this kind of ball is played at 12
Years later, he basically disappeared from Kobe's games, but tonight, the fans at Staples Center saw him again.
"Alley-oop~~~" Bill McDonald shouted loudly, and the passionate voice spread to the entire Staples venue.
31-39, the score difference is only single digits.
The Jazz attacked again. This time it was Paul Millsap's downward attack. As a result, Tang Qian was blocked. The basketball was picked up by Al Jefferson of the Jazz. He quickly attacked again and wanted to
It was a bargain. But at the same time, a big hand, like a ghost, flew in front of his eyes. Although it failed to directly block the shot, it also caused Al Jefferson to miss the shot.
Tang Qian once again scored a defensive rebound.
Then without any hesitation, he passed the ball directly to the fast break.
Steve Nash assisted Ci Shiping and hit the net for a layup.
33-39, in less than 3 minutes, the score difference changed from a maximum of 13 points to 6 points.
This made Jazz head coach Tyrone Corbin shout loudly from the sidelines: "Focus! Focus on me!!!"
As if Tyrone Corbin's shout had an effect, the Jazz made a half-shot basket in the next round, 33-41.
Al Jefferson, who made the goal, made an arrogant move toward the Lakers. People who didn't know better thought that he was possessed by the superstar in this game. Tang Qian looked at Jazz No. 25 with a bright look in his eyes.
He made a pick and then ran towards the frontcourt.
The ball turned into a positional battle. Steve Nash made a pick-and-roll gesture. Tang Qian reacted immediately, and then lifted it out from the inside, instantly blocking Nash's defender Randy Ford.
Jay Nash took the opportunity to break through and then took off to shoot. Both Jazz players ran over to cover and block the shot. But at this moment, Lakers No. 10 passed the ball. With a flick of his wrist, he changed from shooting to
It was a pass, and then a figure drove straight in and flew into the sky.
Bang!!!
Big one-handed dunk!!!
"N.T!!!" Bill MacDonald somehow managed to shout out an English abbreviation that he had never shouted before.
And this English abbreviation happens to be the combination of the abbreviations of Nash and Tang Qian.
35-41, Tang Qian glanced at Al Jefferson, made the same move, and then turned back to defend.
This scene was clearly recorded by the camera. After Al Jefferson was stunned, his expression instantly turned to anger:
Damn Orientals!
Al Jefferson is not the kind of player with a particularly clear head, so when Tang Qian got a little excited, his head started to heat up.
He forced a single and was successfully defended by Tang Qian.
The basketball hoop collapsed.
Kobe came in and took away the defensive rebound, then passed the ball to Nash and quickly ran towards the frontcourt.
The Jazz retreated very promptly on this ball. Seeing that there was no chance for a fast break, Nash immediately stopped the ball near the top arc. But soon his eyes lit up, and he passed the ball with both hands from outside the three-point line. A three-pointer.
Long-distance passing outside the line is something that tests your passing skills. For ordinary people, it is very easy to make a mistake when passing the ball like this. But for Steve Nash, this is not a problem at all, so. easy.
"This is... alley-oop!!! Crash!!!" Bill MacDonald shouted: "From N.T~~~~~~"
37-41, the Lakers got closer to 2 points.
At this time, there were only 30 seconds left before the end of the second quarter. The Jazz wanted to fight a positional battle. The success rate was high.
Watching the attack time on the timer passing by, all the players in the field were focused.
The Jazz wanted to enter the second half with at least a 6-point advantage. The Lakers naturally wanted to defend and then take the opportunity to launch a quick attack in an attempt to further narrow the score gap between the two sides.
At the beginning, Randy Foye of the Jazz dribbled forward. He called a high pick-and-roll, and then broke through quickly. Tang Qian and Gasol quickly went over to cover up the defense. But Randy Foye did not shoot the ball himself.
Instead, he chose to pass the ball. However, the quality of this pass was not high, because Randy Foye's organizational ability has always been a technical weakness. It was not easy to pass the ball like this. Al Jefferson barely received it.
Passing the ball, he then stood up from the basket. With his body size advantage, he successfully knocked away Pau Gasol and then shot.
The goal was scored!
As soon as the basketball was released, Al Jefferson had a premonition.
But someone wanted to destroy his sense of self. With a "pop" sound, the basketball was blown away.
Then the Lakers' third-line fast break turned out to be Nash, Kobe, and No. 29 Tang Qian, who had just completed his block.
Nash passed the ball to Kobe. When Kobe was about to go in, someone from the Jazz pounced back. He was Paul Millsap. But this could not stop the Black Mamba's determination to attack. He forced a layup from behind, and the basketball rolled on the basket.
After a lap... it actually fell out?
this……
Kobe obviously didn't expect this. After all, according to his assumptions, 95% of such balls will be scored.
It's a pity that it happened to be the remaining 5%.
"Oh~ What a pity, Bryant missed the last layup, the Lakers halftime...hoooo~ dunk! China dunked! He successfully dunked the ball!!!"
39-41, Tang Qian played 4 minutes and 15 seconds and scored 6 points, 2 blocks, 4 rebounds and 1 assist.
The Lakers entered the second half trailing by only 2 points.
After the lights turned on, Steve Nash smiled and patted Tang Qian's arm and said, "Young man, you worked hard today."
"Of course." Tang Qian nodded, and then said seriously: "Because I don't want to lose this game again, I want to win, I want to win."
And this sentence happened to be just right. Lakers No. 24, who walked over, heard it right away.
PS: The turbulent second half of the schedule is about to begin, and the entire Lakers team will fight hard for a spot in the playoffs!
