In the first quarter, Tang Qian understood why "Different Space" offered such good reward conditions.
This is simply... a scam!
Why do you say that? Because tonight's Brook Lopez was completely explosive.
He hit all his first three shots, a hook shot, a mid-range shot, and a strong shot from the basket, as if he could do anything.
At this moment, Tang Qian woke up. The rewards of "different space" are never so easy to get, and it is the same this time. This is not the ordinary version of Brook Lopez, it is clearly the explosive version of Brook Lopez.
People who play basketball will not fail to understand that once the state breaks out, you can often stimulate your own strength several times. Many shots that cannot be made and many people that cannot be beaten seem to be no longer a problem in an instant. Wild courts
This is true for everyone, let alone an NBA professional player?
The explosion of role players is enough for star players to drink. Is Brook Lopez, No. 11 of the Nets, more than just a role player? He can average close to 19+9 in his second season. This season
It was the pinnacle of his life. He was selected into the All-Star reserve team and became a true All-Star player. Although he is the most ordinary All-Star player, he is still an All-Star. When he breaks out, he is enough for Tang Qian.
The pain was excruciating.
But now that the matter has come to this, he has not thought about backing down. He has been fierce and aggressive throughout the whole process, and his defensive attitude is very tough.
But even so, Brook Lopez still scored 11 points, 2 rebounds, 1 block and 1 assist in the first quarter, and his shooting percentage was as high as over 80%.
When he was taken off the court for a break in the first quarter, Brook Lopez did not forget to smile at Tang Qian and said: "How are you, yellow guy? You know how good I am, right? I will make you cry when you leave the Barclays Center tonight.
! Taste the feeling of helplessness and powerlessness! Hahahaha!"
"It's hot, it's okay. You've done a very good job on the defensive end. It's the way he was tonight, which is great." Nash patted Tang Qian on the shoulder and said. The latter just nodded after hearing this, and then walked towards
The Lakers bench area.
As Nash said, Mike D'Antoni didn't mean to blame Tang Qian, because they are professional basketball players and professional basketball coaches, so they don't look at things the same as "laymen", who only look at data and results.
In the opinion of Mike D'Antoni, Tang Qian's defense on those few goals was already in place. Unfortunately, Brook Lopez was too strong in the first quarter, so switching to Dwight Howard might not have the same effect.
How much can be improved.
Tang Qian only got 4 rebounds in the first quarter, and the rest were all zero.
It can be seen that he was also affected by the explosion of No. 11 of the Nets.
At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers only scored 18 points, 6 points behind the Nets at home.
Just like Shaq O'Neal said, the Nets' defense this season has been very good, much better than last season. So the Lakers suffered a heavy blow in the first quarter. This is
The No. 1 position was helpless. Steve Nash actually passed a lot of good quality shots, but the Lakers just couldn't make them. He could only shake his head and smile bitterly, and there was nothing he could do.
In the middle of the second quarter, both teams ended their substitute time and gradually replaced their main lineups.
After seeing Tang Qian playing again, Nets No. 11 continued to joke: "Hey, playing again? How many points will I get in this quarter? 10 points? Or 15 points? According to this momentum, it seems I should
You should revise your competition goals, you can’t beat 30+15 at all, right?”
Tang Qian didn't talk nonsense and continued to be prepared. Now was the time when his opponent had the upper hand. If he tried to argue with him, he would only bring humiliation to himself.
Only by guarding against your opponent can you have the capital to counterattack.
However, with a "swipe" sound, Lopez scored again, and it was actually a step-back jumper. This move usually would not allow him to score 1 out of 10 goals, but tonight, he fell into the Lakers' basket.
.13 points in the basket, it seems that Lopez's first quarter state has continued.
There's nothing anyone can do about this kind of ball. You can't guard anyone one-on-one, and other players can only stare at it.
After all, using a double-team tactic is basically self-destructive for the Lakers, because the Lakers this season, the team's tacit understanding and chemical reaction are all in a mess. If you want to double-team, the final result will be
The opponent's 3-pointers were blasted. Although the Nets' overall 3-point shooting percentage was only about 36%, it was much better than the Lakers' 34%. Especially after trading Joe Johnson this season, they
The outside firepower has been strengthened. Two 3-pointers have a shooting rate of more than 37%, and both have the ability to beat people and make strong shots. The Lakers do not dare to miss people casually.
Otherwise, based on the Lakers' three-point shooting percentage this season, it will be difficult to improve.
Therefore, if Tang Qian cannot defend his opponent alone, then this game will become extremely difficult.
Soon, the Lakers also scored a 2-point goal through the cooperation of Nash and Tang Qian.
"Not bad, Asian guy, it turns out you can score. I thought your offensive ability was 0?" Tang Qian glanced at Lopez and calmly ran towards his own half. "Ignore me? You are really arrogant.
Asian guy, it looks like I haven't taught you a lesson yet. Huh, just wait, my touch tonight is not your fault!" Brooke Lopez looked at Tang Qian's back and said.
The Nets' offense, as expected, gave Brook Lopez another spot at position 5. It seems they have also discovered that tonight's teammate No. 11 is in good shape and is better than usual. So Deron Williams
Without hesitation, Si stuffed the basketball into the paint. Brook Lopez hit Tang Qian with a back hit, and then immediately turned around and made a small hook. The movement was very smooth, and he seemed to be able to practice it normally.
Quite diligent.
As soon as the ball was released, Brook Lopez felt that he had scored a goal, but the smile on his face did not last long because there was a "pop" in the sky that changed his facial expression.
On the 29th, the Lakers took advantage of his carelessness in underestimating the opponent and immediately responded with a hot pot shot. The basketball was directly blown out of the Lakers' baseline, and the Nets sent a baseline kick.
After seeing his shot blocked, Lopez was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Lakers No. 29, his eyes full of anger. That look seemed to say, why are you blocking me? How dare you
Cover me? Do you deserve a beating?
But for this scene, Tang Qian turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye, because just a block could not give him any sense of accomplishment. And he also saw that No. 11 of the Nets tonight was very dangerous. If he did not concentrate on
If you do, you will most likely suffer a big loss.
For a center inside who averages close to 20+7+2 per game this season, it is a huge defensive challenge for him.
