"West, are you still waiting for the pick-and-roll in such a high position? Let me tell you, your move is useless. We have seen through it completely." Walter Frazier, who thought he had found a way to block it, stood.
In the high post, he was facing the dribbling Lakers No. 44. But West was not in a hurry, because he was still waiting for someone, waiting for "Tang Qian" to come up and pick and roll.
"Sure enough, it's the same old thing, Jerry West, you're finished!" Just after the Knicks made a substitution, Walter Frazier only felt a "hurricane" passing through him. And
The person running past him was not No. 13 of the Lakers, so who was it?
What was he planning to do when he ran in so anxiously? Was he planning to attack?
Not only Walter Frazier thought this way, but also the head coach of the Knicks, so he immediately stood on the sidelines and shouted instructions: "Pay attention to Chamberlain, pay attention to guard Chamberlain!"
But everyone in the Knicks knows that as long as Chamberlain is not allowed to catch the ball in the penalty area, he is a toothless tiger and is not too dangerous. Although Willis Reed is missing from the team, he is good at
The "iron-blooded defense" Knicks still have many ways to deal with the Lakers' No. 13 "giant tower". For example, the simplest answer is that when there is really no other way, just take a ruthless move and bring down the "cruel" No. 13.
However, sending him to the free throw line is actually a victory in disguise.
Because everyone in the United States knows that at the free throw line, Wilt Chamberlain's offensive power is last in the league and at the bottom of the league.
But would "Tang Qian" not know the other party's plan? He is also the "authentic descendant of Chamberlain" after all.
Yes, my current scoring ability is not as good as that of 35-year-old Chamberlain, my defensive ability is not as good as that of 35-year-old Chamberlain, and even my rebounding ability is much inferior to that of 35-year-old Wilt Chamberlain. But there is one thing...I am better than him at 35 years old,
Be strong!
That's... my young body and amazing physical fitness!
Just saying this, I must be stronger than Wilt Chamberlain now!
There is no problem with Tang Qian, because Chamberlain suffered severe injuries to both knees in the 1969-1970 season. After the overhaul, he has lost the superhuman athletic ability that he was proud of in the past. But even so, he can still perform this season, specifically in 1972
On January 9, 2011, MVP winner Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was repeatedly slapped away. The most famous video of "The Marshal's double-hatted Skyhook" came from this game.
Therefore, the decline in physical fitness is compared to Chamberlain himself. It is still very scary for other league centers. However, Tang Qian is still confident that he can surpass the 35-year-old Wei in terms of physical fitness.
Walter Chamberlain.
Basketball fans in this era must rarely see wonderful "alley-oop" shots. Tonight... you are in for a treat.
"Jerry used Wilt's pick-and-roll to rush into the Knicks' inside. But this time the Knicks changed defense in a timely manner. Lucas followed Jerry closely. This ball may not be good, because in
In terms of height comparison, there is a huge gap between the two." On-site commentator Chick Hearn is also an absolute "old fan", so when he saw that West did not get rid of Lucas' defense, he was very worried.
If he really forced a breakthrough for a layup, Jerry West felt that his success rate would not be too high, because Lucas followed very closely, and his height and weight were much higher than his own. Good idea. So, he glanced slightly, estimated the position of Lakers No. 13, and then threw the ball with one hand.
"This, Jerry's shot deflected too much. I even wondered if the ball was too slippery, so he let it go...what? What is this??? Wilt, Wilt took off???oh~ God Ah~ He jumped so high~" Along with Chick Hearn's commentary, "Tang Qian" jumped high, and flew into the sky without any interference at all.
Then he held the ball in the sky with both hands... and hit the basket hard!
Bang!!!
The Knicks' basket let out a miserable wail.
"Goal, goal!!! This is a slam dunk!!! Ladies and gentlemen, this is an imaginative dunk!!!" Chick Hearn reacted immediately, and then He spoke loudly into the commentary microphone in front of him.
The whole audience cheered and applauded constantly.
We can’t blame the audience at the Great Western Forum Arena for being “rare and strange”. It’s just that in the early 1970s, such alley-oops, full of beauty and power, were almost completely extinct. Because the level of basketball has not yet developed to the level of the future. So suddenly Upon seeing it, the whole audience cheered loudly.
Including the Knicks players, they were all shocked by the "Tang Qian" ball, because this kind of ball really refreshed their senses.
"Wilt, you, you are so amazing!!!" The passer Jerry West was a little stunned, because the visual impact of that moment was extremely amazing.
"Tonight, we must win, we will definitely win, right, Jerry." "Tang Qian" smiled and said.
"Of course!" As if being aroused by the ball "Tang Qian", Jerry West couldn't help but raise his voice.
The next game became the so-called "show time". "Tang Qian" made all kinds of violent alley-oops, which almost destroyed the morale of the entire Knicks team. Therefore, the Lakers won the victory without any danger. Won the first game of the finals.
Tang Qian scored 24 points, 12 rebounds, 4 blocks and 2 assists, and was elected the best player of the game.
But the buzzer of the end of the game had just sounded, and Lakers No. 13 almost sat down on the ground. Why, because he was too tired. If he hadn't tried his best to "alley-oop dunk" in the end, he might not have finished the game at all. It can't be sustained.
After the official reporter's interview, the Lakers returned to the locker room, cheering and excited.
Finally, finally won?
T.N.N.D~ Is it so difficult~ I almost lost half of my life~
There are still 3 games left, try to win them all in one go!
After the game, the Los Angeles media praised Bill Sharman's "new tactics" and said he was worthy of being a "new generation of talented coach". Bill Sharman also responded "humbly", saying that this was a "collective "Strength". Regarding this, Tang Qian didn't bother to stand up and explain, because his goal was to "complete the mission" and "go home", and the rest had little to do with him.
Besides, if you give Bill Salman some face, he will "like" and "trust" you even more, right?
This may also be an implicit help in "completing the task".
But soon, the NBA held an emergency "secret meeting" for this game. The then president, no, J. Walter Kennedy, who was still called the NBA president in this era, made the decision after several hours of deliberation.
Strengthen the attack on "alley-oops" and "the pass cannot be higher than the backboard". Then it even hints to the "referees" to strengthen the control and control of the Lakers' No. 13.
This disguised attack is the "epitome of stupidity" of the second NBA president.
This man named J. Walter Kennedy took over from the first chairman Maurice Pudolov in 1963. Then, under his leadership, the NBA league was in a quagmire, and there was no big deal.
Development, is there any innovation and progress? In fact, the period from 1963 to 1975 can be called the dark age of the NBA. Porn, gambling, and drugs were rampant, and there was no tendency to suppress them. In addition, he frequently
Making wrong "policy" instructions has made the development of the NBA become deformed and strange.
Not to mention comparing with the fourth legendary president David Stern, even his next president, Larry O'Brien, has made more contributions and played a greater role than him. "No lobs" and "No passes"
"The ball was higher than the backboard" were all masterpieces made under his tenure. Moreover, this person also had a famous example of being "slapped in the face", which was the most famous "Connie Hawkins Incident" in the 1960s.
In this incident, J. Walter Kennedy’s short-sightedness was worse than that of the famous retired NBA star George Mikan. In the end, the ABA led by George Mikan successfully won Connie Hawkins. But the NBA league’s “banning order”
" still made Connie Hawkins very worried, so he began to file legal complaints against the NBA's "banning order" in 1966. That was enough, because this kind of thing was not uncommon at the time.
But the problem is that in the end, Connie Hawkins was allowed to successfully litigate the lawsuit. In this way, NBA Chairman J. Walter Kennedy was disgraced, because he personally presided over and issued the "blocking order", so in the end
The verdict was that he was required to pay $1.295 million in compensation to Connie Hawkins.
You want to know how much the NBA's maximum salary was in that era? It was about 100,000 US dollars! The winners were Jerry West and Elgin Baylor, Chamberlain and Bill Russell. But if you calculate it through price conversion, that
In the 1960s, 100,000 US dollars was roughly equivalent to about 15 million to 20 million US dollars today, so it can be regarded as an absolute "rich family". When was this maximum salary broken? It was the start of the 1968-1969 season.
In the early days, the breaker was the famous "Wilt Chamberlain". At that time, he joined the Los Angeles Lakers for a sky-high price of US$250,000 a year and a five-year contract extension. It is worth mentioning that this was also the first time in NBA history that he joined the Los Angeles Lakers.
The first contract worth over one million US dollars.
So with this comparison, you can see how much Connie Hawkins earned and how much our NBA president lost.
What is even more tragic is that the NBA will be forced to cancel the "blocking order" on Connie Hawkins and allow him to join the 1969-1970 NBA season next season. This means that Connie Hawkins will suddenly
He received a "super contract" at the same level as top superstar Wilt Chamberlain. No wonder when he joined the NBA, he was interviewed by sports reporter Ron Rapoport. Connie Hawkins behaved extremely generously, as if
He doesn't care at all about the unfair treatment of being "banned from the NBA for nearly 10 years".
Hey, what if you try without the $1.295 million compensation? Will Connie Hawkins still be so generous and generous during the interview, regardless of past grudges? Because he himself also knows that he really wants to be in the NBA
If you play inside, you will never get a "salary" at this price. After all, compared to the famous "Big Dipper" Wilt Chamberlain, he is still far behind. So because of this matter, the NBA league
Chairman J. Walter Kennedy's reputation plummeted, which was really the American version of "losing his wife and losing his army".
Now, he starts doing stupid things again.
This decision is also one of the most "criticized" stupid decisions in this parallel dimension.
But J. Walter Kennedy doesn’t know it yet, he is still feeling proud of his “wise leadership”.
When Tang Qian received this news before the second game, he was so angry that his face almost turned green, and he cursed silently in his heart:
Damn J. Walter Kennedy! Damn "different space"! You are so inhumane and don't give you any way to survive!
Although Tang Qian "complained" like this, "different space" actually gave him certain "benefits". For example, after winning the last game and winning the best player in the game, the latter rewarded the former with a reward.
A golden ability card fragment. By combining the remaining two fragments into one, Tang Qian immediately obtained an "awesome" golden rebound card.
The card ability is also very simple and crude. You can get 55 rebounds in a single game, which does not overlap with the rebound data before and after.
This... this is simply a "machine gun", no, it's a "cruise missile".
55 rebounds in a single game, which is also the highest rebound record of "Dashuai Zhang" in a single game.
You must know that this abnormal record was obtained from the same "mythical beast" Bill Russell, and its gold content can be imagined. So as soon as he saw this introduction, Tang Qian immediately thought of the source of this ability card. After all,
55 rebounds in a single game is as crazy as scoring 100 points in a single game. You can completely record it with just one glance.
After seeing this golden ability card, Tang Qian's "grievance" calmed down a little. It seemed that the "different space" still gave him some "way to survive" and did not seriously "kill everyone".
But even so, the remaining games are not easy to play.
Because the most important thing about "strange moves" is "strange", the first effect is the best. Once the opponent starts to prepare and target, the effect will be greatly reduced. So in these two days of training
, Tang Qian was meticulous and did not dare to be careless or lax at all.
When other Lakers players saw this, they also nodded, because "Wilt Chamberlain" who trains so hard is definitely extremely rare. Even No. 13 has started to take it seriously, so what reason do the others have to be lazy?
Is there any reason not to work hard?
A positive training atmosphere has gradually spread among the Los Angeles Lakers.
But even so, the Lakers were "blocked" in the second game. The main reason was that the team resumed the "super defensive counterattack" style of the regular season. Coupled with the Knicks' substitutes,
Phil Jackson stepped up and scored 18 points and 11 rebounds as a substitute, shooting over 80% from the field, perfectly replacing the Knicks' Willis Reed's absence.
The total score is 1:1, and the third game will be moved to New York to Madison Square Garden for the third game.
At this time, Lakers head coach Bill Sharman took the initiative to find "Tang Qian" and said:
"Wilt, tell me about your 'new tactics', we need it now."
Tang Qian was naturally overjoyed when he heard this, because in his opinion, using the tactical advancement of future generations is the only way to improve the winning rate of this "old Lakers". After all, the biggest change in the development of basketball in the past forty or fifty years
, which is the maturity and enrichment of the tactical system. This is also one of the qualities that the New York Knicks in this era cannot have.
If West and I do it alone, the effect will not be as good as if the whole team comes together.
If the entire Lakers team is to be involved in practice, then head coach Bill Sharman is the key.
As long as he doesn't nod, there will be no way for this matter to proceed smoothly.
Now, "the key among the keys" has finally expressed his opinion that he wants to implement "Tang Qian's" "new tactics" in the entire team.
Although it seems a bit "improving", as long as you are willing to change, it is an excellent thing and an excellent direction.
"Tang Qian" talked to Bill Salman in detail and carefully, and from time to time he also made gestures on the tactical board, making it easier for the latter to understand and absorb. The result was that Bill Salman's comprehension ability far exceeded that of "Tang Qian"
In less than an hour, he had almost understood the essence and essence of the "high pick-and-roll".
"So it's like this, Wilt. It seems that I still underestimated you. I didn't expect that you have such a huge treasure in your mind." After hearing this, Bill Salman looked at
"Tang Qian" said, with such appreciative eyes that made the latter feel embarrassed. "Tang Qian" said: "No way, I just think about it."
"Then you have to figure it out blindly." After Bill Salman finished speaking, he lowered his head again, looked at the tactical board and asked: "By the way, Wilt, in my opinion, your tactical theory should be
It's just the primary form, right? Do you have any more follow-up ideas? If so, please tell me together. This is very important for the Lakers to win the championship this season."
"As expected of Mr. Salman, he really has a vicious eye." "Tang Qian" silently flattered him and said, "I do have some ideas, but I don't know if they are right or not."
"Say it, Wilt." Bill Salman also liked this "flattery", because Wilt Chamberlain's arrogance is well known to everyone. If he can talk to himself like this, then
He respects himself very much. Therefore, Bill Salman's initial "inability to step down" has been completely exposed.
"Well, okay sir, I will say it then." "Tang Qian" started the conversation and began to talk: "I think the high pick and roll can be further subdivided into Pid.roll, Pid.pop, and Pid.split.
, that is, pick-and-roll inside and outside, pick-and-roll outside, and pick-and-roll out, which is exactly what it means, such as pick-and-roll inside and outside..."
If just now, Bill Salman only admired "Tang Qian", now he has become horrified.
Because all of this is broken down into clauses, step by step, and judging from his experience as the best head coach of the year, every small clause is extremely feasible and mature. Where is this?
What kind of "blind thinking" is this? This is basically a "tactical guide" that future head coaches must learn.
"Did you really come up with these things by yourself?" After a long pause, Bill Salman asked.
"Uh, of course, what's wrong? Is there any problem, sir?" At this point, "Tang Qian" can only bite the bullet and admit it, otherwise he will easily be "suspected" and caught as a "guinea pig."
.In that case, the death will be unclear.
"Ummm~ It's nothing~ I just think you are much smarter than I thought." After Bill Salman finished speaking, he asked again: "But Wilt, why didn't you tell me before?"
"Tang Qian" had prepared a plan for this issue a long time ago, so he blurted out: "Because I think it's all just speculation and may not get any publicity, so I haven't told anyone."
"Just thinking about it?" Bill Salman couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Wilt, why have you suddenly become so humble? Is this still you? Weren't you abducted by aliens? I'll tell you the truth.
Let me tell you, your 'blind speculation' is worth tens of thousands of dollars, even if it's five million dollars, you can't buy it."
"Tang Qian" pretended to be modest and said: "Hey, hey, hey, you are exaggerating~"
"It's not an exaggeration." Bill Sharman is a future Hall of Fame head coach after all, so he quickly got into work mode and said: "I will go back and digest these things first, and inform the whole team in the evening that we will stay.
Temporary extra training!”
After saying that, Bill Salman looked down at the tactical board and left the training hall.
