Throughout the halftime break, the Lakers locker room was in a state of weirdness.
Howard's whole person had a "just wait and see" look. Not only Mike D'Antoni, but also the entire Lakers team members were restless. This is the situation now, with only 17 wins in 42 games.
However, there are internal strife within the team, and the atmosphere in the locker room makes it really difficult for people to smile.
And Nash has finally figured it out. This "World of Warcraft" doesn't want to fight or win at all. In one sentence, the fate of the Lakers this season has nothing to do with him. Being a teammate with such a person is not good at all.
No matter how strong the lineup is, what can it do? It is still a mess and cannot play the role of 1+1=2.
Not to mention 1+12, it can’t even equal 2.
This is the current Los Angeles Lakers team that looks luxurious on the outside but is a mess on the inside.
Under the huge pressure, even Steve Nash felt a little uncomfortable, let alone those ordinary players. It seemed that a little setback could defeat this team. But the strange thing is that, except for Kobe
, there is still someone who is not affected, he is No. 29, Chinese perm.
Taking advantage of the break in the locker room, Steve Nash suddenly asked: "Fang, do you think we can make the playoffs?"
"Playoffs?" Tang Qian didn't expect Nash to suddenly ask himself this. He was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "Of course, isn't that for sure?" "Have you never doubted it at all?" Steve
husband Nash asked.
"No." Tang Qian shook his head and said, "I have never doubted it."
Because according to the original trajectory of history, the Lakers also entered the playoffs.
So Tang Qian is not too worried about this matter, but what he is worried about is...
"Well, your mind is really firm. Yes, keep it up." Steve Nash stopped asking because he could see that every word of this Eastern teammate was sincere and not true.
He was forced to pretend. Just talking about this, he really looks a lot like No. 24.
But in fact, if Tang Qian heard Nash's thoughts, he would definitely shake his head in denial.
After all, the source of my firmness is history, which belongs to the category of God’s perspective.
As for Lakers No. 24, he doesn’t know everything that is going to happen in the future, so he is the real mentally determined person.
He is worthy of being the only person in the entire history of the NBA whose mental attributes can be compared with No. 23. Tang Qian actually does not have this innately, but he tries to get close to it with acquired efforts, acquired observation, and acquired learning. Because
He knew very well that even the great Wilt Chamberlain lacked just this point.
He didn't want to end up following in Chamberlain's footsteps.
Otherwise, he would be ashamed of his fate in this life.
At the beginning of the second half, Tang Qian continued to play. It seemed that if he could win, Mike D'Antoni was determined to compete with "Warcraft" Howard tonight. So Tang Qian must seize this opportunity.
Not just for Mike D'Antoni's trust.
Even more so for myself.
The NBA is like a pyramid. If he wants to reach higher, he cannot let go of every opportunity.
In the second half, the opponent obviously tightened its restrictions on Tang Qian. This kind of treatment is usually extremely difficult for substitute players. But tonight, Tang Qian began to enjoy it.
It's very difficult and exciting at the same time.
Originally, several Jazz insiders were reluctant to do this, but the head coach convinced them with just one sentence.
Can any of you rebound 40+ times for a week in a row?
Immediately, the Jazz team's emotions disappeared, because what Tyrone Corbin said was very reasonable.
This Oriental may not be very good in other aspects, but when it comes to rebounding alone, he is already at the top of the league.
Although it is only a front line in this "era of decline of the dinosaurs", it is enough for them to pay attention to and take it seriously.
As soon as Tang Qian came on the court, he saw the change in the expression of the Jazz insider. However, he was not timid at all. Instead, his eyes were bright, looking expectant and excited. Because this showed that he had already surpassed others in a certain ability.
They cannot be underestimated.
This is progress, this is change, this is the reward and results of hard training.
In the first 4 minutes, the two sides fought back and forth, refusing to give in. The Jazz's rebounding tactics made Tang Qian uncomfortable, but Tang Qian in turn also made it difficult for them. The competition for rebounds inside became extremely fierce in an instant.
The intensity and intensity of the match vaguely exceeded the intensity and intensity of the regular season. However, Tang Qian enjoyed the process of confrontation, because this was what he had always wanted.
The real NBA.
Real confrontation.
Real basketball and games.
What surprised Jazz head coach Tyrone Corbin was that neither of Marvin Williams and Derrick Favors had much advantage in the hands of Eastern Conference No. 29. Could this guy?
Is it really his rebounding ability that has reached the first-class level? If this is really the case, then before the Lakers realize it... I must convince the management to recruit him next season!
Don't think this is Tyrone Corbin's whim, because a truly powerful rebounder is exactly what this Jazz team needs right now. After all, not every team has as many big men as the Lakers.
After Tang Qian went one-on-one again and grabbed a rebound, the Jazz coach immediately changed the formation on the sidelines and said: "Al, Paul, you and Marvin and Derrick exchange defenders."
Exchange? The four Jazz players looked at each other and thought to themselves: Wasn’t the head coach making a mistake?
Use your strengths to attack a bench player, who is an Asian, but use your weaknesses to defend a former All-Star interior player? Is this reasonable?
However, after seeing Tyrone Corbin's gesture clearly, the four quickly changed their defensive positions. Marvin Williams and Derrick Favors went to Gasol's side, Al Jefferson and
Paul Millsap was replaced by Tang Qian. This small change in the inside line caught the attention of Steve Nash. He glanced at the still green oriental face, and his mind was filled with thoughts.
The key target has been changed? So in Tyrone Corbin’s view, No. 29’s rebound is more of a threat in this game?
This kid's growth rate is amazing.
He is the No. 1 player, he is already good at observation, and Nash is attentive, so it is not surprising that he was the first to discover this.
Sure enough, in this way, Tang Qian's originally evenly matched situation immediately turned into a complete disadvantage.
How many rebounds do Marvin Williams and Derrick Favors average per game this season combined? 7.1+3.6, only 10.7, less than 11. As for Tang Qian, he currently ranks among the NBA’s rebounders
In third place, averaging 11+ per game, one person defeated the two of them. Therefore, although the confrontation was a bit reluctant, it was not particularly difficult. But it was different after the substitutions, Millsap and Al Jay.
Both Ferson are excellent rebounders. Together, the two averaged over 16 rebounds per game this season, and their cooperation was more tacit than the former, so Tang Qian instantly fell into a disadvantageous situation.
As the inside rebounds were once again controlled, the Jazz's score kept rising, while the Lakers kept hitting the iron.
This scene made Mike D'Antoni's face look ugly again.
What should we do? Do we need to make substitutions? Or change the offensive tactics and let more outside players come inside to protect rebounds?
Okay, it worked. I knew that my tactic was very powerful! The Jazz coach's expression was exactly the opposite of D'Antoni's, he said with satisfaction.
Without rebounds, the pressure on outside offense suddenly soared. In addition, the Lakers were already on the verge of internal and external troubles, so suddenly, the team's overall momentum completely swayed and dropped rapidly. It is conceivable that this game will never be better again.
If they lose, the Lakers' prospects will become even more bleak.
Who can help me?
Tang Qian looked at Gasol. Gasol's eyes were confused at the moment and he had no hope at all.
Ci Shiping? Not good either. His physical strength has dropped too much, and his athletic ability is too poor to run in and grab rebounds.
Kobe? Are you kidding me? If the Lakers really needed him to rebound, they would either be in the Finals or completely collapsed.
Nash? That's even more impossible. This option is basically non-existent. Even if Nash is at his peak, his rebounding ability is at the bottom of the league.
There is no way, the No. 1 position is not a favored position for rebounding. Throughout the ages, there have been few strong rebounders who have played the No. 1 position.
So I can only rely on myself???
But in 1VS2, with two excellent rebounders, Tang Qian felt that it was almost impossible to win.
After all, his training time is still too short, and he cannot reach the unparalleled heights of Dennis Rodman in one breath.
According to Tang Qian, no one with the ability to average 13+ rebounds per game can't break through the joint blocking of Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap. But 13+ rebounds? Now, I am far away
That realm is still far behind.
So... who can come...
Just when Tang Qian's eyes moved, a gaze was directly projected over him. The former looked at it and saw that the firm eyes were not the Lakers' No. 24, but who was it? What did his gaze mean? Could he be coming to help?
?
No, that's not right... This look like a steel knife is...
Tang Qian looked into Kobe's eyes for a few seconds, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
He is not the kind of novel protagonist who is born with "perseverance and perseverance and a will as strong as gold and steel", but he also has his own advantages, that is, he can learn, absorb, and gradually upgrade.
Isn't staying by Kobe's side just to understand this kind of spiritual will and understand what paranoia is?
Yes, I can't let them down, and I can't let myself down either.
No matter how great the difficulties, no matter how strong the opponent, they can't shake my courage and belief!
Seeing the change in No. 29's eyes, Kobe withdrew his gaze and didn't say a word in the whole process.
When~
Randy Foye of the Jazz missed a shot, and the basketball bounced high under the Lakers' basket.
Feeling the push from behind, Paul Millsap immediately used force and held the opponent firmly, just like the previous few balls. Al Jefferson saw that Tang Qian still wanted to move forward and ridiculed him.
One voice said: "Oriental guys, don't waste your efforts. This is a basketball court, not a place for you Asians! Do you understand?"
"Get the rebound!" the Jazz players yelled.
"Don't worry, this rebound is mine!" Al Jefferson shouted, and then he jumped up casually, because in his opinion, this offensive rebound was already a sure thing. How could an Easterner possibly do it?
What about the rebounding combination of me and Millsap? Competing against Marvin Williams + Derrick Favors is their limit!
"The iron was blocking the position with Millsap. The iron passed Millsap, but there was Jefferson in front of him. He took off. All three of them took off. Who can get the rebound?" Bill McDonald couldn't take his eyes off it.
The ground commentator said: "The hot position is not good. It is probably difficult to grab the ball. Moreover, there is Millsap chasing and intercepting behind him, and he continues to struggle."
"Jefferson, Jefferson didn't get the rebound? The rebound was burned and it flew away with your finger? It was burned and it flew away with your finger!"
Yes, this is Tang Qian's response method. If I can't defeat you, then you don't even want to get rebounds! And... your defensive rebounding tactics have the biggest problem.
That is, the position is too concentrated, too deep inside and under the basket, and this... results in you lacking enough manpower in the high post area. So I only need to move the rebound to the high post, then
That’s it!!!
Because our Lakers team has three people in the high position, but you only have one person!!!
This is my cracking method, this is your tactical loophole!!!
And I believe that my teammates can definitely get the rebound!!!
Kobe grabbed the rebound and immediately formed a fast break arrow with Nash, hitting the Jazz's basket.
Bang~
Kobe Bryant dunked into the net alone.
What about Jazz outsider Randy Foye? He has been closely watched by Ci Shiping for a long time, and he has not been given a chance to get close to the high rebound!
In the next round, it was like this again. The Jazz missed a shot. Tang Qian struggled to deflect the rebound. Then Nash got the ball from the high post and directly broke with Kobe on the fast break. The Lakers scored again in a mobile game. Although according to basketball rules, such an unconscious position
Flying basketball does not count Tang Qian's rebounds, but what does it matter? Because in Tang Qian's mind, he just wants to win now.
Help the Lakers win!
Ju...actually used this method to crack my defensive rebounding tactics???
At this moment, Jazz head coach Tyrone Corbin couldn't believe it in his heart, but if the reality is like this, what can he do?
A person can refuse many things in his life, but no one can refuse reality.
One of the tactics he had painstakingly studied was dismantled by an Eastern center on his own.
But in fact, this is not representative, because he has Tang Qian’s rebounding ability but not his athletic ability. He has his athletic ability but does not have his physical hardware. Only three plus one can achieve this.
One cannot. So to a certain extent, this tactic of the Jazz still has certain merits.
But for the four big men of the Jazz, it is definitely a heavy blow.
They lost.
Lost to someone.
And he is a yellow man.
Mike D'Antoni looked happy because he didn't expect that No. 29 on the field could actually do this.
It's really unexpected.
It's really surprising.
Instantly, Mike D'Antoni became more and more pleased with Tang Qian.
Only Dwight Howard was sitting on the bench, his face gloomy and almost dripping with tears.
