Chapter 449(1/2)
"Then get down here! Don't play again in today's game!" Mike D'Antoni suddenly said. As soon as these words came out, the entire Lakers team was stunned. You must know that now is no better than before. During that time, the Lakers
The team still has a lot of schedule, so the problem of "squandering" a little will not be too serious, but now... the All-Star Game has been played, which in the NBA means that it is necessary to start a full sprint to prepare for the playoffs.
After the game.
And tonight has a special meaning for the Lakers, not only for the fans in Los Angeles, but also for the head coach Buss who just passed away. If they cannot defeat the "feud" Army Green, it will have a huge impact on the overall morale of the Lakers.
great.
In the 2012-2013 season, the Lakers formed the "Four Kings" lineup, but they failed to make a fool of themselves. If they fail to even make it to the playoffs in the end, then this kind of shame will be a unique joke in the history of the league. So.
Removing Howard at this time seems to many people to be a bit emotional and passionate. After all, as a head coach, it is best not to coach with such emotions.
Record is what the Lakers need most now, not boring grudges between each other.
"What?" Howard's expression first changed when he heard this, and then he turned to mocking: "Mr. Mike D'Antoni, you want me to sit on the bench? Do the players agree? Do the fans agree? Does the management agree?"
Howard was so confident that he had obviously thought about the previous level, so he dared to ask and retort like this.
He knew that the Lakers, from the management to the players, were under great pressure at this time, so he didn't believe that Mike D'Antoni dared to do such a "stupid thing." When Mike D'Antoni heard the other party's tone, he couldn't help but feel even more
He got angry and immediately replied loudly: "I don't care whether they agree or not, it's game time. As the head coach, I have the right to decide everything!"
"SO... get out of here right away and just calm down and calm down tonight!"
Hearing that Mike D'Antoni was "playing it for real", Howard was startled, and then his face turned angrily and said: "You bastard, are you crazy? At what time do you want to avenge a public vendetta? You are not worthy of being a coach at all!"
I must go to the general manager’s office to complain about you! Complain against you!!!” “You can go if you want! I can’t control your legs! There’s no need to report to me!” After speaking, Mike D’Antoni pointed at Tang.
Qian said, "Come on, take Howard's place."
"Okay, sir." Tang Qian nodded, and then decisively took off his long-sleeved training clothes.
After seeing this scene, Howard's resentment towards Tang Qian deepened, and even his hatred for Mike D'Antoni was transferred to the former.
You damn Oriental guy! You actually bribed the coach to suppress me! Do you think you can show off your power and have no scruples after entering the All-Star team? Let me tell you! You have the best of intentions! I will make you suffer!
I promise! I swear!
Howard sat down on the bench with great reluctance, his eyes reflecting No. 29, Resentful Fire Netherworld.
However, Mike D'Antoni's mind was set in this game. He had to punish Dwight Howard and let his team consciousness shine again in his mind. Because the former has discovered that now Howard is obsessed with low-post singles and is obsessed with collecting statistics.
, and even the outcome of the game can be ignored for the sake of good data. Why is this putting the cart before the horse? There is only one reason, that is, Howard's heart has left Los Angeles and left the Lakers.
He is ready to change teams and go to the free market to make a fortune.
In this case, why should he care about the Lakers' survival this season?
But the season is not over yet, and Mike D'Antoni doesn't want to worry about things that far away. He has only one request for "Warcraft" right now, and that is to play well and show some professional player spirit. You are not required to do your best, just for
The Lakers are bleeding and shedding tears. At least you have to obey your own tactical command and arrangements. If you are so blind, you have just brushed up the data. At worst, this summer, you will just slap your butt and leave, but what will I do? You can imagine then,
All the blame will fall on me as the head coach. Uninformed people may even subconsciously think that I can't even manage such a luxurious lineup, that my head coach's ability is worrying, and that I don't have the potential to become a championship coach.
I, Mike D'Antoni, will never bear the blame for such an unjust accusation!
So now D'Antoni has become more determined. Everything is based on the team's record. As for the relationship with the star players, that can be relegated to the second place. Because he is also a human being, he also has selfishness and desires, and he "takes the blame" like this.
, I don’t understand, how could he be willing?
Howard, since you are already alienated from the Lakers, there is no need for me to coddle you anymore. If you are just here to do this blindly, then you might as well get off the bench and sit on the bench! Labor and management don’t have that much patience and patience right now.
You're a B.B! If you don't want to play well and can't help me improve the team's record, then just sit here and wait for me! When you are willing to listen to me, I will let you play!
Let me tell you! I am definitely not joking with you this time!
…
"Hot, you go and keep an eye on Brandon Bass~" Pau Gasol and Tang Qian said before going on the court. Tang Qian knew that the latter was "helping" him because the Spaniard saw that he was being beaten by the old man in front of him.
KG took it very badly, so he took the initiative to step in and make a rescue. Tang Qian was moved by Gasol's behavior, but he rejected it and said: "Paul, you are our main offensive force inside, don't be on the defensive end."
It consumes too much physical energy and energy, leave the defensive matters to me, and you can just prepare for the inside attack."
"But..." Gasol also knew that Tang Qian's words were correct, but he was afraid that Tang Qian would be "disrupted" by KG in this game, because he had tasted the trash-talking ability of the Celtics No. 5 before.
If he loses in the end, it may be difficult to recover for a while. As a star player, of course he has time to adjust his body and mind, and the management and fans will not be too harsh on him. But for ordinary bench players, the NBA is not so
Be patient. If you don't play well in a few games or even one game, you will be instantly "masked", and it is not impossible to even temporarily "abandon" it and "hide it" temporarily. Generally speaking,
The positive aspects of the NBA league are reserved for the stars, but the negative aspects? There is no doubt that all of them are digested and borne by the bench.
If you think it's unfair, then you can choose to leave the alliance, because this has been the "rules" of this alliance from ancient times to the present. If you want to get the "good" side, you must stand out, otherwise you will have a big reason.
Even if you feel deeply wronged, few people will truly care about you and sympathize with you.
Gasol and Tang Qian have been together for so long, and he feels that he is still a good person. Of course, the most important thing is that his position does not overlap or conflict with his own, so he does not want the latter to be abandoned and sunk. But he does not
Thinking that he was kind and helpful, but this Oriental was "unappreciative", this situation made him a little confused. After thinking for a while, Gasol asked: "It's easy for you to be criticized and criticized by the fans."
From the management..." But before he finished speaking, Tang Qian blurted out: "It doesn't matter."
No. 29 looked at the counter above his head and said: "I just want to win now."
"That's all."
"So Paul, I'll leave it to you to attack the inside. I will try my best to defend."
"You..." Gasol said.
"I just want to win, Paul, so let me guard KG." Tang Qian stopped Gasol, because guarding a former quasi-superstar and now All-Star player is originally an extremely physically demanding task. Yes.
, Garnett is getting older, and his strength is no longer what it was back then, but at some critical moments, he can display abilities far beyond those of ordinary All-Stars. So letting Gasol defend himself will only consume his energy.
His physical fitness prevents him from giving the Lakers the much-needed contribution on the offensive end.
So Tang Qian is really not acting out of emotion or enthusiasm. He just wants to make the best division of labor from the perspective of the team winning. Of course, some competitive thoughts still exist, but that is secondary, not the most important thing.
The reason. Maybe there are some "cool" protagonists who can often beat five against each other and easily turn around the situation by themselves, but that is not Tang Qian, so in reality, what he needs to consider is not how to be a hero, but how to be a hero.
How to help the team win.
After all, basketball is a team sport, and heroes are needed, but others cannot be ignored. Otherwise, even if you average a triple-double per game, you will have to accept failure and you will never be able to win a championship.
"Okay, if you can't support it anymore, let me do it." Gasol thought for a while and agreed, because Tang Qian's starting point was right. What the Lakers need most now is not his defensive ability.
, but his offensive ability and singles ability. If too much energy is spent on defense, the significance of Mike D'Antoni putting him back in the low post may be lost.
Besides, attacking in the low post was originally what the Spaniard longed for most. Now that he has this opportunity, he is not willing to let it go easily.
Nash of the Lakers used Tang Qian's high pick-and-roll to score a three-pointer near the top arc, which finally gave the Lakers a little breath of relief. Boston deliberately did not want to let the opponent take a breather, so they quickly took the ball.
Pushed to the frontcourt, and then passed the ball to the No. 5 inside with a lob.
Garnett turned his back to Tang Qian, held the ball and said: "Why are you still defending me? Could it be that the Lakers can't find a capable person? If it doesn't work, the Spaniard just now can do it!" Tang Qian bent down and bent down.
, concentrated his attention and whispered: "You don't need Paul, I can do it." "You?" Garnett grinned, showing bright white teeth and said: "You can't do it, Oriental, you are still too young~"
Tang Qian said no more, but just stared at No. 5 in front of him, ready to move or jump at any time.
"It's useless not to speak, kid, because the basketball court is where strength speaks." Garnett turned on one foot and faced Tang Qian face to face: "And you are destined to be eaten by me!"
Before he finished speaking, Garnett moved sideways at high speed. It is really hard to imagine that he is so tall, but has such agile sideways movement and first step. If he was at his peak, it would be unimaginable. No wonder that in James
Previously, the title of the league's all-around warrior belonged to KG Kevin Garnett.
This kind of lateral movement and footwork is absolutely unmatched among inside players, it is very sharp.
With a series of beautiful steps, Garnett took a one-handed shot and the basketball flew towards the Lakers' basket.
"KG took action. At this distance, he basically can't... Oh~ a block!!!" Bill McDonald's voice suddenly sounded at the Lakers' home court. Tang Qian's block was really too late.
In time. Nash of the Lakers picked up the ball on the floor and quickly pushed it toward the opposite half.
Garnett was stunned at first, but quickly reacted and ran towards his own half.
However, Nash took advantage of this ball before the opponent's inside position was settled, so he broke in alone, faked a fax shot, and hit the basketball into the net.
No one expected that after the timeout, Steve Nash took the lead, scoring 5 points in a row, helping the Lakers quickly narrow the score difference. Kobe nodded towards Nash, after all, this kind of "teammates step up" situation
, in Kobe's career, it is rare. Once it appears, it is the talk of "Kobe Black" after dinner, and can be written about for three days and three nights.
In fact, Kobe played more than 1,300 games in his career, so the proportion of this kind of situation is really not high, but because he is a popular superstar, it is easy for the problem to be magnified. The same is true for LeBron James. A little problem can be hacked.
As a dog, you are completely unable to take care of yourself.
"Boy, you did a good job just now. It seems I can take you a little more seriously." As soon as Garnett came over, he started talking trash again. Really, this No. 5 in the Celtics is definitely Tang Qian joining the NBA.
He is the player who likes to talk trash the most. Although others also said that, in terms of frequency and quantity, it is far from the same level as the former. Tang Qian looked at him and only replied: "I just covered it."
You are the only one."
A simple sentence made Garnett's trash talk bounce back, but who is KG? The veteran who has dominated the league for 21 years. In his own words, there is nothing in this league except the championship.
Things can make me emotional. Even in the 2012-2013 season, he has played for 18 years. This kind of experience and experience, even if it is placed in the history of the NBA, is at the top. So he also
Not annoyed, he just continued: "How can I not be blocked when playing basketball? As long as I can fuck you in the next game, that's fine~ isn't it~"
"Get ready, KG is coming to attack you!" Garnett received the pass and made three back-fake fake moves in a row, then turned around with a smooth stride, took off and shot backwards. It was said that it was three times.
He made a fake move, but in Tang Qian's eyes, he was almost the same. His delicacy and deception were the most terrifying among inside players. Furthermore, this guy was obviously 211cm tall, and was actually extremely tall.
Some NBA players claim that KG is definitely taller than this, at least 7 feet minimum, but one of his main offensive methods is the fadeaway jump shot.
