"Three-point shot?" Gasol was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said: "I can shoot it, but my shooting rate is not high."
"It's enough if you know how to shoot." Tang Qian said: "I guess they will guard Kobe to death later, and secondly guard Steve, and you will definitely not be watched." Although Gasol's character is introverted, it does not mean that he has a smart mind.
It didn't work, but with a slight twist, he understood what Tang Qian meant and said, "Then why not Meta? His three-pointers are still more accurate than mine."
"Metta? Look at his three-point shooting tonight?" Tang Qian said: "0 of 5 three-pointers, do you think it is a good choice to shoot for him?" "But..." Seeing Gasol
To add to this, Tang Qian put it off immediately and said: "Anyway, I have thought about it, I will pass the ball to you, you can figure it out yourself!"
"What...what about the rebound?" Gasol said.
He understood Tang Qian's tactics, but for the Lakers, Kobe must have taken the first shot. If it scored, it would go to overtime or win. If not, then fighting for offensive rebounds is the first priority, right? After all, you can't grab it.
When it comes to offensive rebounds, there are no open three-pointers.
After hearing Gasol's question, Tang Qian turned around and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will try my best to get it done."
After saying that, No. 29 of the Lakers turned around and took the court.
There is no doubt that in the case of insufficient time, the Lakers chose to serve the ball in the frontcourt, but even so, there was not much room for victory for the Purple and Gold Army. Moreover, the Lakers as a whole felt that they had lost their momentum.
.It’s as if Gordon Hayward’s attack just now sucked out most of the souls of Los Angeles people.
This season the Lakers are clearly the "Team of Kings" and "Championship Lineup", but so far in the season, it has become hard to win. With such a gap, Nash feels a little uncomfortable, let alone the others? Even Tang Qian just played with
Gasol "secretly discussed" a tactic, but the latter didn't think it would increase his chances of winning much. Even thinking about it now, it was simply an "almost nonsensical" gambling tactic.
Do you want to shoot a three-pointer by yourself? Or a buzzer-beating three-pointer? Is it just your 28% three-point shooting rate?
Gasol felt very funny and unreliable for a moment.
On the opposite side, the Jazz's layout is:
"Focus on Kobe Bryant first! His probability of taking a shot is as high as 90% or more! And this guy often throws some unreasonable fairy balls! So no matter who it is, the first thing is to focus on Kobe, and he must not let him take off easily.
Take action!"
"This is the second time I'm watching Steve Nash. The Lakers this season are still different from before. Steve Nash's career three-point shooting percentage is as high as about 43%! So just in case, he also needs to pay special attention to it.
pay attention to!"
"As for the other three, just defend a little bit. It's almost impossible for them to score the winning goal!"
"Does everyone understand????"
"Understood! Mr. Corbyn!!!"
The Lakers serve in the frontcourt, and the server is No. 37, Ci Shiping.
It seems that Mike D'Antoni doesn't really believe in Ci Shiping's key shots. After all, he is not a "Zen Master" and does not have that much courage and courage. So the Lakers' final offensive tactic is, Kobe OR Nash's shot, "Twin Towers"
Gasol and Tang Qian went inside to compete for offensive rebounds, and then waited for the opportunity to take action. Tactically, there was no problem. The first, second, and third points were all taken into account, and there were echoes from inside and outside. But I don’t know why, but Mike D’Antoni still
I felt my heartbeat change and felt a little uneasy.
He still has too little experience in coaching key goals. In the Suns, they were also in a whirlwind, either winning big or losing big. Real stalemate situations were rare. And when they happened, they usually lost more and won less, with a lower winning rate.
It doesn't look good. So he feels uneasy about tonight's counterattack.
The Jazz are still the best "five-forward" lineup in the world, because this lineup's mobility, height, wingspan, and interference are all excellent choices. And the biggest advantage is that the five players can switch defenses at will.
There is no need to worry about too many mismatches and defense changes. At least that's what Tyrone Corbin thinks. He doesn't believe that a kill can happen to his head.
Even though they knew there was little hope, the fans at Staples Center still stood up one after another, preparing to pay attention to the home team's final blow. An equalizer to win, or a defeat, the answer can be found in a few breaths.
"Okay, now the referee has blown the whistle and Ci Shiping has started to serve." Bic MacDonald quickly explained: "Ci Shiping is looking for someone, looking for someone. Kobe is being stared at very hard, but Kobe is
Try your best to get rid of the entanglement. There are still two seconds left. Can you successfully serve the ball? Or should you continue to pause? Well, Ci Shiping found Kobe's gap, he passed the ball, Kobe received the ball, and the timer started counting down. Kobe directly
Rushing to the left, the Jazz's Millsap and Gordon Hayward were defending with all their strength. Kobe could not get rid of them, but there was no time. Kobe shot towards the left three-point line, but the Jazz players did not
After the shot was blocked, the basketball flew towards the Jazz basket, could it go in?"
Bill McDonald's problem was also the problem of the nearly 20,000 fans at the scene. Everyone was staring at the orange basketball shot from outside the 24th three-point line.
Except for No. 29, Tang Qian, who is inside the Jazz team.
When he saw Kobe Bryant taking a shot, he pushed Gasol next to him. The meaning was obvious, telling him to go out and act as planned.
In fact, Tang Qian was not sure whether Kobe's ball could go into the basket. He just made a back-up and preparation in advance.
And with the help of the bronze assist card, Tang Qian knew that as long as he could grab the rebound, he would definitely be able to make a pass. Not to mention Pau Gasol, who shot 28% of three-pointers, even Shaq
Now that Grams O'Neal is here, as long as he receives the pass from Tang Qian later, he can still stably enter the net. So he didn't even think about the 2-point shot. If he wanted to shoot, he would shoot a 3-pointer and directly send the Jazz back.
Go to the locker room.
Duang~
Kobe's ball hit the front edge of the basket hard and did not get into the net as expected.
Since last season, Kobe's shooting has been more and more front-end, which means that his leg strength and core strength are gradually declining. This is the first sign since 2010, 09-10
During the season, Kobe's three-point shooting percentage suddenly fell below the 35% mark, and suddenly dropped by nearly 3 percentage points. After that, it went downhill more and more. Except for this season, he wants to get another 30%.
It’s difficult to score points.
This is Kobe's own body aging.
This is also the disadvantage of the two-stage power shot.
After all, he is not No. 23 in Chicago. When it comes to physical function, especially the physical function of delaying aging, he is far from Jordan. No matter how he takes care of himself, how he maintains himself, how he warms up before and after the game.
Physical therapy is not as good as Jordan's. This is the difference in talent. It cannot be completely solved by hard work.
"OH~NO~Kobe missed his three-point shot, and the basketball did not hit the Jazz's basket!" Bill McDonald's broadcast directly shattered the last illusions and hopes at Staples Center.
Lost, lost again, and still lost to the eighth team in the Western Conference! The Lakers are finished this season!
Many fans couldn't help but think this way, because the blow of this game was really big.
Mike D'Antoni's expression suddenly darkened. He pursed his lips but made no sound.
The post-match press conference later will be another feast of doubts and ridicule.
Of course Mike D'Antoni doesn't want this, but what can he do if the team loses? As the head coach, he is definitely the first scapegoat.
Did I overestimate my abilities?
Or is it simply a mistake for me to come to Los Angeles?
At this moment, the head coach of the Jazz seemed to have discovered something, and immediately stood on the sidelines and yelled: "The game is not over yet! The game is not over yet! Protect the rebounds! Everyone, protect the rebounds!!!" No
Wrong, even if there is only 0.1 seconds, he can make a tip-in, not to mention that there are still 3.7 seconds? He doesn't want the game to be tied and continue into overtime.
His shout reminded the Jazz players on the court. Immediately, Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap rushed to their own basket first, and then directly collided with the Lakers' No. 29.
I have to admit that the rebounding combination of Jefferson + Millsap is very protective, especially Millsap. He didn't even think about fighting for this defensive rebound. His task is very clear, that is.
He pushed Tang Qian to death, and then allowed teammate Al Jefferson to successfully get the rebound.
This kind of person is definitely a "good blue-collar insider" and is also a favorite of teammates and head coaches.
Moreover, this pairing caused Tang Qian to suffer a lot tonight. At least in the fight for rebounds, Tang Qian won less and lost more. Maybe you think that it is good to be able to compete like this in one-on-two, but Tang Qian
The requirements and standards are not like this. Because I heard Rodman say that to be a truly strong rebounder, no matter how many opponents or obstacles you have, they should not be able to stop you from getting the rebound, otherwise you will be a false rebounder.
A strong person can never be called a true rebounding king.
Dennis Rodman's words are very profound and insightful, and they also have an extremely important impact on Tang Qian's future.
Because what he said was based on the heyday of the inside line in the 1980s and 1990s. In that era, a one-on-one rebounder was not considered a strong rebounder at all. The reason is very simple. It was too easy to be targeted and contained.
Come on, once you use two players to attack, your ability will be exhausted and you will be embarrassed. In the 1980s and 1990s, this kind of person would not be able to enter the ranks of the rebounding champions.
Not to mention Rodman himself, which of the four major centers in the 1990s was not surrounded by several people when fighting for rebounds? But this still cannot affect them. The data is still the same, the power is still the same, and it will not be weakened by any external factors.
This is the true rebounding dominance. To put it bluntly, let alone the rebounding champion, even if you are the scoring champion, the blocked shot champion, etc., as long as you want to win the title, you will never have only one opponent.
In Rodman's words, when he was fighting for rebounds, he had no teammates in his eyes, only his opponents.
Tang Qian remembered this, and under the constant indoctrination of Dennis Rodman, he also subconsciously believed that there was nothing to be proud of in grabbing rebounds one-on-one. Because, as a rebounding overlord, the rebounding king should be
A thing that has been accomplished. A thing that you should have done in the first place. If you have accomplished it, why are you so proud?
"He was blocked! Millsap blocked people very fiercely! He created very comfortable rebounding conditions for his teammates!"
Tang Qian looked up at the high-bouncing rebound, gritted his teeth, and began to squeeze with Paul Millsap. Millsap's blocking action was big, and his was bigger, more intense, and continuous.
Constantly, using his body to attack the latter's rebounding defense line crazily.
This guy, what... But don't try to squeeze past! I will block you!
Paul Millsap is not an ordinary person. When he saw Tang Qian's appearance, he immediately strengthened his positioning moves and wanted to fight the Lakers No. 29 to the end. But soon, he could no longer hold on.
Because he suddenly discovered a fact, that is, the Eastern man behind him surpassed him in terms of positioning skills, positioning ability, and positioning feeling. If his task was not just to support others, he would really have to compete with him.
In a one-on-one fight for rebounds, Paul Millsap felt that there was a high probability that he would not be able to compete with his opponent.
This guy's rebounding ability is better than that of his compatriots!
Paul Millsap was a rookie in 2006, so he competed against Yao Ming at his peak, and the Jazz played 7 games against the Rockets in the playoffs that year, so even though he was a rookie, he still understood
The power of the Oriental giant under the basket. 25+9+2+2 in the regular season and 25+10 in the playoffs. That year, Yao Ming entered his short peak period. After all, with this set of data, the current inside center is basically
Can't hit the ball. What? You mean Love? e.on~ Is he considered a real inside player? A swing forward is more suitable for him. And like Bosh, he is not a real rebounder and does not need opponents or teammates.
It's enough to weaken their rebounding ability.
"The competition between Fang and Millsap was fierce. Fang had the advantage. Fang successfully killed Millsap and suppressed him!"
"But there is Al Jefferson in front of him, and he has no time to get stuck. What will he do? Can he successfully tip in or get the rebound?"
Damn it, even if you kill me, you still can't get this rebound! Because you have to concentrate on suppressing me, and you can't focus on capturing Al! Even if Paul Millsap is stuck behind him, he can't get the rebound.
He is still constantly moving and attacking, trying to create obstacles and troubles for the Oriental center. In the future, he will be very successful in Atlanta and be promoted to "Mr. 20 million". It is not unreasonable. With this attitude and professionalism, he
He is a blue-collar insider who is extremely popular in the league right now.
"Dongfang guy, I have been prepared for this ball for a long time. I won't let you successfully get the rebound again!" Al Jefferson said deliberately when he saw Tang Qian squeezing behind him. He said this game
He also suffered a lot of hidden losses at the hands of No. 29, so he would not let it pass if he had the opportunity to make fun of him.
Tang Qian didn't speak. He looked at the basketball that was about to fall above his head, with a serious look on his face and said nothing.
After the basketball reached an effective point of contention, Tang Qian, Jefferson, and Millsap all took off at the same time. Among them, Tang Qian was pushed in the middle. This position was very unfavorable, not only conducive to taking off, but also detrimental to
Move and reach out. It can be said that Tang Qian almost failed to fight for the ball and was eliminated early.
Some football-savvy fans at the scene covered their eyes in despair after seeing this.
Because in their opinion, this game has ended early.
Even if the red light hasn't come on yet, that's the same thing.
The result will not change again.
Seeing this, Gasol also secretly regretted, why did he run out? Why did he listen to Tang Qian's words obsessively? Why didn't he stick to his position and help fight for this offensive rebound! But now, it's too late to regret, because
He has already stood outside the three-point line in the bottom corner, and there is no way he can get back.
Can't get it?
Who says you can't get it?
I'm going to grab it and show it to you!
Let it open your eyes!
Tang Qian roared loudly, and then the pores all over his body seemed to be opened, his blood surged, and his momentum suddenly increased.
When~
Immediately afterwards, an astonishing scene appeared. The Dongfang center who should have been squeezed into a human-shaped sandwich, but as if a booster was suddenly added to the sole of his foot, he was nearly a head taller. Then he stretched out his long arms, like a long ape.
Laoyue, sandwiched between two Jazz players, took the lead in grabbing the rebound with one hand.
"Oh~ Feng actually grabbed the rebound~ He actually grabbed the offensive rebound from the middle of Jefferson and Millsap!" Bill McDonald said loudly: "He succeeded! He succeeded!"
"What will he do? There is not much time left, but he is surrounded by the joint defense of two Jazz players!"
How is it possible? How did he grab this rebound???
After seeing the rebound "change hands", Al Jefferson was confused for the first time, because according to what he thought, this was simply impossible! He wanted to get between the two people's attack
Taking off and then successfully grabbing a rebound, or an offensive rebound, this level of difficulty is probably not just A+ level, right?
How on earth did he...do it?
But soon, he put aside his doubts, because since the rebound protection failed, the first remaining task was naturally to defend desperately. Otherwise, at the last moment, he would not only be grabbed the offensive rebound, but also tied the score.
The anger of head coach Tyrone Corbin is probably unimaginable. Therefore, both Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap tried their best to completely block Tang Qian's next shot at the basket.
The time was less than 2 seconds. As soon as Tang Qian landed, he would definitely take a shot as soon as possible.
So they don't have to worry about being deceived by false moves.
But they never expected that the Oriental man would hit the ball as soon as he landed on the ground.
Moreover, the direction of the ball is still on the ground, and it still passes through Al Jefferson's crotch!
The entire movement was done in one go, as if it had been practiced countless times, without any hesitation or sloppiness.
At this moment, the expressions of the two Jazz players, who were baring their teeth and showing ferocious faces, suddenly froze.
Because this move was beyond their expectations.
Tyrone Corbin's defensive arrangement for this ball is already very good. Even if Tang Qian grabbed the offensive rebound, there were two Jazz players around him to jointly defend. In addition, Kobe, Nash, and even Ci Shiping were beside him.
With all the Jazz players closely following them, this formation is definitely excellent. Even if a famous coach were to come over, I'm afraid it would be nothing more than this.
It can be regarded as a legacy plan. They all have a tactical blind spot, and that is the Lakers' No. 16, Spaniard Pau Gasol.
They subconsciously believe that Gasol does not have the 3-point shooting range and 3-point shooting ability. Unless the Lakers have water in their heads, otherwise in these last few seconds, No. 16 will be a decoration, a useless decoration.
.
A decoration that can be given up temporarily.
So when Pau Gasol received Tang Qian's pass, there was no one in front of him.
There are no traces of human beings within 2 meters, 3 meters, 4 meters, or even 5 meters.
Since it is the bottom corner, the three-point line distance here is only 6.7 meters, which is the shortest three-point line in the entire NBA.
But after looking at the Jazz basket, Gasol became suspicious:
Three-pointer? Or three-pointer at the buzzer? On me? Is this okay?
OK?
At this moment, Tang Qian's voice suddenly floated over and said:
"Paul, don't hesitate, just take action! We all believe in you!!!"
Believe me???Everyone believes me???
Then I...just shoot.
Pau Gasol stood in the left corner and took an open three-pointer. As soon as the basketball flew into the air, the red light on the backboard was already on. All the players stopped running and just stared intently.
On the flying orange sphere.
"Gasol made a three-pointer from the bottom corner. The arc of the basketball was very high. Will it go in? Will it go in? Will it...Yesssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" accompanied by Bill
With McDonald's roar, the game finally came to an end. The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Utah Jazz 104-103 in the last second.
Won the first victory in 42 games in the second half of the season.
Win!!!
