Kevin Durant broke out, and it was obvious that his momentum had changed a little.
It sounds weird, but this is a normal thing. It is just a matter of good or bad competitive status.
The Thunder serve a sideline ball.
"I'm going to shoot this ball through your head!" Durant said trash talk to Tang Qian before the whistle sounded, but the latter responded indifferently: "Welcome, I'm just afraid of your 28
It’s not long enough~ man~”
Durant was stunned for a moment, and then his face suddenly became annoyed, but he stopped engaging in verbal arguments and just thought about using his strength to shut up the Chinese after serving. The attack time was very limited, leaving it to Durant
There is not much time to make moves, and this ball can even be called a "bomb ball." However, Thunder No. 35, who has been accused of a crime for a long time, still has the confidence to shoot this ball.
I admit that you are in good defensive shape, but do you think this will make a difference? Do you really think that my three league scoring titles were for nothing?
"Hot~ You go in and defend~ Let Meta come outside~"
Before the service whistle sounded, Lakers head coach Mike D'Antoni stood on the bench and said loudly.
After Tang Qian listened, he was unmoved. Instead, he waved his hand to Ci Shiping, who was coming to change defense behind him, indicating that he should continue without making any changes. At this time, D'Antoni couldn't help but feel a little angry again.
He thought to himself, are you the coach or am I the coach? How dare you disobey my orders! If you lose this ball, there is nothing to say, just get off the field and calm down!
Mike D'Antoni's idea has come up at least two or three times tonight, but Tang Qian's performance suppressed it every time. And this time... it's the same.
Durant rushed over to ask for the ball, and the basketball was smoothly handed into his palm from the sideline. Then he made a very cool and smooth movement, taking a big step forward with his right foot, then flicking back with his toes, and left
The feet jumped back together. This is not the end. There is also a slight backward movement. Once this is done, people will be amazed at Durant's research on shooting skills. He is definitely not the same as some.
As the "Keyboard Man" said, a star who only knows how to shoot.
These "keyboard warriors" may have forgotten that there are many techniques that can be combined with shooting, which is definitely a difficult technical move.
Commonly known as breaking through the emergency stop and retreating to shoot with a small jump!
After Kobe saw this move, he learned it in the future and used it skillfully in games many times.
This is one of Durant's killer shots. With his height and wingspan, when used with flexibility, outside players in the league basically have no chance of blocking shots. Even the top super giant LeBron James is the same and can interfere.
But if you want to block a shot from the front, the difficulty is basically S level. And now Durant is in explosive condition. As soon as he takes the shot, he feels that the ball is there.
This is an indescribable feeling, but sometimes, you can feel in advance whether the ball is there and whether it will go in. This is true for wild courts, let alone a super shooter like Kevin Durant.
?
You see, Orientals, this is my Kevin Durant...
Before he finished "pretending" in his mind, a "pop" sound brought Thunder No. 35 back to reality.
"You want to force me to shoot? Then you have to lean back a little wider." After Tang Qian landed, he looked at Durant and warned him softly. The latter was in a state of confusion at this time.
, looking at Zijin No. 29 in front of him, his face full of disbelief.
This ball has been blocked??? His reaction is so fast??? His bounce speed is so good??? His judgment is so accurate??? It is normal for Durant to be surprised, because even if this move is
Serge Ibaka of the same team could hardly cover him. He was shot repeatedly by him in training games. Moreover, his movements just now were clearly very smooth. Logically speaking, he would be shot at most.
Interfering and being blocked, this result was something Kevin Durant never expected.
With 1.5 seconds left, Westbrook of the Thunder caught the ball and took a hasty shot. The basketball only touched the Lakers' net before falling weakly. This round of defense made the entire Chesapeake Energy Arena cheer.
It was a third of a decibel lower. Because the scene of Kevin Durant being blocked from the front continuously is extremely rare in this stadium.
The most important thing is that this blocker is still a No. 5 position and an inside post.
This makes some Thunder fans unable to accept it for the time being.
But equally surprised was Lakers head coach Mike D'Antoni, because Tang Qian repeatedly successfully defended when he was not optimistic about it, and contributed greatly to the Lakers' points reduction. All this made him feel a little "unsatisfied"
Sorry." But after thinking about it, he relieved himself and said, why don't you do more? Anyway, his first goal right now is to win, improve the Lakers' regular season winning rate, and then strive to catch up with the 2012-2013 playoffs.
The last train. As long as it can help you get closer to this goal, you can use it and support it.
As for "sorry" or "sorry", it's not that important.
He is not like Mike Brown. D'Antoni's self-explanatory ability is quite good, so he ignored his objections just now and nodded frequently to Tang Qian. Seeing that Mike D'Antoni is so "flexible", Tang Qian
I can't help but feel a little more favorable towards this old man, because many head coaches in NBA history are notoriously "stubborn". If Tang Qian is faced with such a coach, and Tang Qian feels that he is far enough away, it will
No time in sight.
In fact, if it were placed at the beginning of the season, D'Antoni probably wouldn't be so "flexible", but as the team's situation deteriorated, he also felt a bit like "a dead horse acting as a living horse doctor". When people are desperate, and
Who cares about the difference between "good" and "bad"? As long as it can put out fires and save itself, it can be picked up and used.
This is also an opportunity for Tang Qian to rise rapidly in the Lakers.
Otherwise, with the foundation of Los Angeles and the team culture of the Lakers, even if you are a star prospect, you may be benched for a few years, allowing you to practice more before you can rise to the top. That was the case with Kobe back then. If he really competed with LeBron
As long as the whole team cooperates with him to "fight monsters and upgrade", he can make a qualitative leap in the second year at most. In the summer league that year, No. 8 Kobe actually showed the prototype of a future superstar.
On the image that comes out, you can get a glimpse of it.
But the Lakers still chose to "work hard" and let Kobe sit on the bench for two years before correcting him in the third season.
If you have watched the Lakers game videos in those years, you will know it well. Although he is a bench player, the personal ability of No. 8 is obviously "outstanding". Eddie is the All-Star in the team.
Calculating the statistics of Jones in 36 minutes, he is even worse than Kobe in his rookie year. This thing is very obvious both in terms of impression and statistics, but the Lakers still chose to temporarily suppress Kobe and were not in a hurry to let Kobe take the lead.
Let me ask, if an ordinary fan can see something, the Los Angeles Lakers, as one of the most professional management teams in the league, can they not see it?
Kobe was treated like this, let alone Tang Qian who came in through a "side door"?
But no matter what the objective factors are, if Mike D'Antoni can believe in himself and take the initiative to adapt, then he deserves his respect. Otherwise, Tang Qian really feels like playing for "Warcraft" for a season.
Feeling "so fucked".
Because the team's ace team was repeatedly defended or even blocked by opponents, the Thunder's team momentum dropped just watching, including Kevin Durant, who was a little confused, and his state also plummeted.
The next few shots all missed the basket, and the strike was over. Mike D'Antoni could clearly see why the Thunder's No. 35's shooting percentage suddenly dropped sharply. There was only one reason, and that was that he was trying to avoid Tang Qian's block.
, and accelerated his shooting rhythm and release speed. In this way, blocking shots was avoided, but similarly, his own shooting rhythm was disrupted, so continuous shooting became a reality.
What about the Lakers? The complete opposite of the Thunder. The more they played, the better and braver they became. From Kobe Bryant to Ci Shiping, everyone felt good, and a 19-3 spurt completely turned the situation tonight. In the end,
The Lakers won this crucial tough battle 101-95, held their heads high and played triumphantly at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
5 consecutive wins, achieved.
Kobe had 30 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, Nash had 20 points, 1 rebound and 8 assists, Gasol had 16 points, 9 rebounds and 1 assist, and Tang Qian had 6 points, 15 rebounds and 15 assists.
With the data of 1 blocked shot and 1 assist, why didn’t he get 20+ rebounds? That’s because he went up to guard Kevin Durant alone in the fourth quarter, so he lost a lot of opportunities to get defensive rebounds. But even if
In this way, he still got a double-double, but this double-double was not the usual scoring + rebounds or scoring + assists, but rebounds + blocks.
So he got the man of the match tonight.
This battle is of great significance to the Lakers. It is not only a continuous winning streak, but also the establishment of morale and confidence. They finally no longer need to be pointed at and said that they have never beaten any strong team. Because they defeated the league
The No. 1 seeded team is the best answer and the best response.
Everyone on the team was smiling and excited, including Kobe, who couldn't help but curse a few curse words after the game, as if they wanted to let go of the stress and burden of this period. However, there are always people.
The exception is Dwight Howard, whose performance in this game was average.
When the camera turned to his face, he was almost uglier than if he had eaten dog shit.
5 consecutive wins... He actually won 5 consecutive wins?????? Are these Oklahomans eating shit???? As a team with the best record in the league
, actually lost to the team that has always been the 11th in the Western Conference????????Asshole!!!!!!!!Asshole!!!!!!!!!!Asshole!!!!!!!!!
!!!T.M.D~ Labor and management have "released water" for you, and you still want to lose?????? Did you deliberately collude and want to trick me???????
At the moment when the score was fixed, Dwight Howard's heart collapsed. If the situation was not inappropriate, he would definitely curse and greet all the female relatives of the Oklahoma City Thunder! This is definitely not an exaggeration.
!This is the mood and psychology of Dwight Howard at this moment!
When he thought about the gambling content in the locker room five games ago, he felt numb all over!
I... I'd better run away first. Don't the Chinese have a saying? A good man never suffers the consequences of his eyes! After I escape tonight, it's not too late to find a way. Thinking of this, Howard couldn't care less about being annoyed.
He yelled and cursed, and while the Lakers players were cheering for victory, and while Tang Qian was receiving the best interview of the game, he quietly blended into the crowd alone, and then rushed into the player tunnel like flying.
Tang Qian doesn’t know about these situations yet, because when he was interviewed by T.N.T reporters, he was saying:
"Hot~ Congratulations on your special double-double tonight~ Your condition seems to be very good recently~ Do you have any secrets you can share?" The interviewer is "Mr. Colorful Dress" Craig Sager
, this year is the last year of good health for this old man who is over 60 years old, and he comes from T.N.T TV station, which makes Tang Qian have a very kind attitude towards him.
"Of course~" Tang Qian said: "The secret is to 'eat, sleep and fight World of Warcraft'~"
"What?" Craig Sager, who was wearing a red suit today, was stunned for a long time. After digesting it for a long time, he asked again: "Excuse me, what do you mean by this? Yes.
Is it a code word that has become popular recently? I’m older, so I’m not sure what you young people are doing~ Please explain it yourself~"
"Oh~ Sir~ please let me explain it a little bit~ Because believe me, since the secret is a secret, it won't work if you say it~" Tang Qian said and added: "As for the so-called so-called things that most people tell you
The 'secret' must be all nutritious nonsense, because the real 'secret' cannot be said or spoken~"
"Okay~ Hot~ I accept your reason~ But I still have to write your words in my personal column. Is this okay?" "Mr. Colorful Dress" Craig Sager said.
"Of course, Mr. Sagar, you can do this yourself~" Tang Qian shrugged, and then added mysteriously before leaving: "Now, I am going to receive my loot. A friend
I’m afraid I can’t sit still in the locker room for a long time.”
PS: I’m back to the small rented room again. Alas~, I only know how good my home is when I go out. For book friends who haven’t left home yet, please spend time with your family again~ Otherwise, you will have to go back to the next such a long vacation.
Waiting for 365 days~
I have a lot of things to pack when I come back today, so we will break out tomorrow as we promised~ Thank you for your support~
