Tang Qian felt stunned for a while, because this kind of thing was really extremely rare.
Even with the silver defense card activated, the opponent still forcibly beat him into an AND.ONE.
The man known as the "Stealing Handsome" truly lives up to his reputation. He is much more tyrannical than ordinary All-Star players.
Brush~
There is no doubt that with his free throw shooting percentage exceeding 80% this season, Walter Frazier made this extra free throw.
Damn it, I won't lose! I don't believe that I have a silver defense card and I can't defeat you!
Now in terms of defensive ability alone, I will not be worse than the 35-year-old Chamberlain!
Tang Qian thought this way, but he forgot. It is true that he is now blessed with a silver defense card, and his defensive ability is even slightly better than that of the 35-year-old Wilt Chamberlain. This is true. But he forgot, even if it is
The real "Dashuai Zhang", the "Daishuai Zhang" who can even shoot "sky hook shots" this season, may not be able to defend this explosive New York No. 10. Otherwise, in the G7 battle 2 years ago, it would be impossible.
He won't be beaten by his opponent with 36 points, 19 assists and 7 rebounds.
Any super giant or quasi-super giant explosive species is an extremely scary thing. If you can't improve your competitive status, it will be a matter of time before you are suppressed or even defeated. If you are a real 35-year-old powerful
Walter Chamberlain, with the addition of a silver defense card, which increases his defensive ability by 50%, can indeed easily suppress Walter Fraser's "explosive arrogance", but again... now
No. 13 of the Lakers is just a "young Eastern center" wearing Chamberlain's shell. His raw ability is much inferior to the 35-year-old Chamberlain, so even if he is blessed with a silver defensive card, it is a bit messy.
Walter Frazier, the irresponsible man.
This is not surprising. This season, the 35-year-old "Shuai Zhang" can continue to block the "Sky Hook". If Tang Qian is to do it now, it would be almost a dream. So the ability card has been "broken", and Tang Qian also has some brains.
"Dark".
In the following series of offensive and defensive duels, Tang Qian lost more than he won, and the New York Knicks once again widened the score difference between the two sides.
With a deficit, the Lakers entered the fourth quarter.
At this moment, Bill Sharman didn't blame Lakers No. 13 too much, because he also discovered Walter Frazier's "explosive seed" and wanted to fight against this situation, unless "Wilt Chamberlain"
"It's almost the same. But now it's obvious that this is a bit "demanding". Because No. 13 has finally recovered his "normal defensive level", and now he is immediately asked to "defensively explode", it is really a bit difficult.
.
As for the New York Knicks, because of Walter Frazier's "brave performance", the spirit and morale of the Knicks' officers and soldiers were gradually awakened, and the blow from the previous game was finally dissipated. This can be seen from coach Reid.
Holzman was also a little happy, and at the same time, his gaze towards Walter Frazier also changed slightly.
Of course, a "super team" is good, with no selfishness, no cancer, and no ball dominance, but what if it encounters a stalemate or even a deadlock? At this time, "team combat" may not be as simple and efficient as "individual combat". Because
The more complex and difficult the situation, the more "complex" and "complicated" are taboo. At this time, the advantage of the "super team" may turn into a disadvantage. So...does my tactical concept need to be
What about slight modifications and corrections?
After Reed Holzman and other players came on the field, he took out a small notebook from behind, and then recorded this "reflection" piecemeal in the small notebook. And all of this was recorded by one person in an impartial way.
, gave him a clear look.
He is the substitute inside man sitting next to Reid Holzman, No. 18, Phil Jackson.
At this point, the old age and fatigue of the Lakers are revealed again. It is not obvious when the ball is downwind, but once it reaches the headwind, the physical exertion seems to have doubled. The main players of the Lakers are all older.
Except for Jim McMillan, who is only 24 years old, the youngest ones are all 29 years old. Most of them are over 30 years old. Among them, Chamberlain is the oldest, having reached the "athletic age" of 35 years old.
I know that this was in the early 1970s, and the medical level and sports system were far less developed than in 2013. Basically, over the age of 30, it is the age when the decline begins. The super giant body has amazing energy and can continue to reach its peak for a few more years, but
At the age of 33, it has reached a period of rapid decline. What about the Knicks? The eldest, Jerry Lucas, is only 32 years old. There are far more people in the "prime age of sports" than the Lakers, so the further they play, the more they play.
The greater their physical advantage.
A few minutes after the fourth quarter, Tang Qian also fell out of the Silver defensive card.
In this way, his defensive ability returned to the normal level again, and even his physical problems were highlighted.
The New York Knicks took the opportunity to attack and a small climax eliminated the Lakers' possibility of counterattack.
105-115, the Lakers lost to their opponents again.
The big score in the finals was tied 3-3 by the New Yorkers. Two years later, the Lakers once again entered the finals tiebreaker.
Until the 21st century, the Los Angeles Lakers were not very good at "game sevens", let alone in this "maligned" era. The New Yorkers were "overjoyed" the next day and played wildly.
Publish reports, "The finals are stable", "The finals are no problem", "The finals will teach Los Angeles people a lesson again" and other such news. The Los Angeles media was directly suppressed. Before yesterday,
I was so confident that I was thrown into the Mariana Trench in an instant. I had no choice but to say that my team's "tie-break record" was very unfavorable and ugly?
The newspapers in New York are making a fuss about this, but here in Los Angeles, there is really nothing wrong with it.
Because the historical "tie-break" data in the 1960s and 1970s was a great disadvantage to the people of Los Angeles.
The Lakers have begun to fall into a "weird dullness" again. Putting aside other rounds, just talking about the "game history" of the Finals in the early 1960s and 1970s has left Los Angeles people filled with gloom.
Lost to the Celtics in the 1962 Finals in the tiebreaker, lost to the Celtics in the 1966 Finals, continued to lose to the Celtics in the 1969 Finals, and lost to the New York Knicks in the 1970 Finals.
Sri Lanka. In less than ten years, they have lost four finals tiebreakers. This kind of "historical pressure" makes it really impossible to laugh at the Great Western Forum Arena.
The day before the game, Jerry West kept practicing shooting without saying a word to anyone, as if he had turned into a cold training machine. But the shots he made were not satisfactory.
The rest of the people are similar, especially the "old people" of the Lakers. They are worried about the "tiebreak" that is coming tonight.
Tang Qian is also training hard, but basketball-level basketball ability is a process of accumulation step by step, and it has little effect. In addition to increasing his own psychological burden and physical fatigue, it does more harm than good. Seeing this situation, Bill Schaer
Mann immediately stopped the training, and then forced the whole team to take a short vacation, allowing them to rest in the afternoon and recharge their batteries so that they could fully cope with the finals G7 seven or eight hours later.
After all the team members dispersed, Tang Qian saw Jerry West who was in a daze.
After thinking about it, he walked forward and asked: "Jerry, what are you doing? The finals will be held tonight." West was stunned when he heard this and saw that it was
After "Tang Qian", it took four or five seconds before he opened his mouth and said: "Wilt, what do you think the outside world will say if we lose this series again?" The person who wanted to "ask" suddenly stopped.
The child became the "questioned". Tang Qian was stunned and replied: "Why are you saying such depressing words? The game hasn't started yet, we..."
"You want to say that we still have a chance, right?" Jerry West suddenly interrupted "Tang Qian" and said: "But Wilt, think about it for yourself, we really have a chance.
Do you have a chance to win this series?" Without waiting for "Tang Qian" to speak, he continued: "We have used the new tactic of 'high pick-and-roll', but we still did not win the opponent. Instead, we have been fighting until now.
, the opponent's adaptability to our 'new tactics' is getting better and better, and the effect and power are much weaker than at the beginning... You know, Wilt, sometimes I even think, if it weren't for you,
With this 'new tactical theory' proposed, can our Lakers team survive until the seventh game? Will we be out in embarrassment in 5 or 4 games?"
"Jerry, you..."
"You don't need to comfort me. You also know what it feels like not to win a championship, right? But you are better than me. You ended the Celtics' eight consecutive championships. This achievement alone will be enough for you to be voted in in the future.
Thousands of fans admire and admire him."
Tang Qian, who played the role of "Wilt Chamberlain", said: "But Jerry, I only have one ring. This doesn't count..." "One? I also have one." Jerry.
West's eyes suddenly showed a lot of envy and even jealousy: "You know? What did Elgin tell me before he retired? He was willing to use half of his career honors in exchange for even one
A championship ring, even if you are a role player, it doesn’t matter. What about me? I can also tell you Wilt, your ring is what I am willing to pay for everything to get! When I was young, the eyes in my eyes
I always only focus on various personal honors and data records, but what happens in the end? I just realized that I had gone in the wrong direction and had the wrong goal~ Isn’t this extremely sad and ridiculous?”
"No, Jerry, you are already very successful, you..."
"Players who have not won a championship ring can never be called a 'successful person'! That is only a title given to us by people from the outside who express sympathy and pity. In fact, who among the NBA players does not know this? There is no president.
Anyone with a championship ring is a 'loser', a complete 'loser'! You will never understand this, Wilt!" Jerry West changed from his usual "personable demeanor",
He shouted almost out of control at "Tang Qian".
In the end, it even turned into a roar.
This scene shocked Tang Qian psychologically.
What is an NBA championship? Why do older players desire it so much?
At that moment, Jerry West told him "authentically" and "100%".
Championships, rings, and championship banners, for an NBA player, this is everything in a career!
Although Tang Qian understood this truth before, he was still too young, too young, and his future was too long, so he did not have a deep understanding of what a "championship ring" was. But at this moment, he understood a little bit... As a person
NBA players, the goal you are going to chase your whole life is not data, not records, not contracts and advertisements, not even dollars. Because without these, your career can continue, be wasted, and hang out, but it is missing.
NBA championship ring...your career will always be blank.
The more you love this sport, the more you will understand the significance of rings to a professional basketball sport.
It is said that "a hero is not judged by success or failure", but when it comes to selecting historical status and team status, who is not interested in this "gadget"? In later generations, even some role players dared to play Charles Barker.
Lee’s joke, why? Isn’t it because the latter is empty-handed and does not have a championship ring to hold the crowd?
Especially after seeing his "old comrade" regretfully retire, this "ring plot" roared and boiled in Jerry West's heart. On the eve of the last game, he finally suppressed it
He couldn't help but let out the desire in his heart completely.
"Do you know how it feels every time you leave the Finals floor feeling sad?"
"Do you know how you feel every time you see your opponent holding the cup happily in front of you?"
"Do you know the sadness of working hard for a whole season, 82 games, only to fall short at the last second?"
"You don't know, because you have a ring! Because you have a ring!!!"
It turns out...this is the "meaning of a ring". I still looked at it too lightly before.
What does it mean to fail twice? Do you think someone has failed seven times? Is that so sad and pitiful?
Perhaps the greatest treasure and wealth of this mission is not the "mission reward", but this, this experience, this feeling... let you truly understand the "meaning of the ring" from failure...
... Only with this memory can you understand more clearly the difficulty of winning the championship, the glory of the ring, and the desire to win.
Without "this mission", Tang Qian might not be able to feel these things until two or even three finals. But through this trial, he has experienced a rapid improvement.
What is a true professional player?
What is the true ultimate desire?
What is the biggest regret in your career?
Including struggling in the NBA, what is the biggest motivation? Through Jerry West's roar! Through these consecutive defeats in the finals! Tang Qian vaguely touched something expensive.
This will have an unpredictable and significant impact on his future.
"I understand, Jerry, compared with you, my depression and troubles are just useless paper, not worth mentioning." Tang Qian seemed to understand something in an instant, and said seriously: "Tonight's game
, we must win, even if we break our legs running and our hands fighting, we will still win."
"Because we are..."
"A professional player from the Lakers."
PS: Xiao Zi just wants to say that all this is written by Xiao Zi with great care. I believe book friends who have read it carefully will think so. If you want to write blindly, why bother to find data and information so hard? In the 1960s and 1970s,
I can't find the information in China at all. The reason for the trouble is that I want to write it well. Yes, that's it!
Thank you for your support~ I have been on a business trip recently, so some updates may be unstable, but when I get back, the rewards will burst~ Thank you again~
