The third quarter became normal again. Howard was on the court, and Kobe and he didn't pass the ball to each other. Then Gasol went to the free throw line and Nash became a fixed-point fort. The Kings continued the tactics of the first quarter, double-digit.
The inside lob shot at the Lakers' positions 4 and 5. Due to Howard's lazy defense, the Spaniard was exhausted and the effect was extremely poor, without much effect.
Fortunately, Kobe broke out in this quarter and scored 18 points. Looking at the data, he made 10 free throws in a single quarter!
This means that Kobe gained these 10 points purely by relying on collisions and fighting inside the paint!
The "Black Mamba" had no expression on his face and calmly scored 10 free throws.
The Lakers scored 34 points in this quarter, which is already a lot. Unfortunately, their opponents scored more, a full 40 points! This shows how bad the Lakers' defense is.
76-93, with a score difference of 17 points, the Zijin Army entered the fourth quarter.
"Mr. D'Antoni, I strongly suggest letting me play in the fourth quarter. The team is already 17 points behind. If we let this substitute come on, we will definitely lose!" Mike D'Antoni heard this and glanced at the Lakers.
The team's bench then said: "Dwight, I think you are tired too. For the sake of the next game, you should take a rest first."
As soon as this sentence came out, the underlying meaning was obvious. Just sit down and sit down. It would be impossible for you to play!
Howard's face suddenly darkened. He wanted to say something, but Tang Qian reached out and interrupted him: "Don't say anything, Howard, just stay off the court and see how we win."
Damn it!!! You piece of shit Oriental guy!!!
Seeing Tang Qian striding towards the field, Howard couldn't help but curse loudly in secret.
But let alone Tang Qian didn't hear this nonsense, so what if he did? He wouldn't take it to heart.
Basketball is a competitive sport. If you want to gain the upper hand, you can only rely on your results. Everything else is inferior.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers outscored their opponents 7-0, which caused the Kings head coach to call a timeout immediately. Unlike the second quarter, this quarter was the deciding quarter, so the score difference narrowed.
, Keith Smart of the Kings couldn't sit still. Although Sacramento has been far away from the playoffs this season, there is no reason to give up the victory they have obtained.
He also wants to win a few more games and get an NBA head coaching contract next season.
To be on the safe side, he put on the entire main lineup to face the opponent while still leading by 10 points.
It's a pity that the Kings' tactical quality is extremely poor. This has a huge relationship with the head coach. Who is Keith Smart? In his coaching career and this season, there are four seasons in total, with an average winning rate of about 35%, and he has never entered the league.
After the playoffs. Just like his playing career, his coaching career was also poor. I simply don't understand why the Kings management would hire such a person as the coach.
It's as if I'm saying, oh, my plan is very obvious, it's just to screw up, it's to win the lottery.
So after replacing Howard, the Lakers' main lineup completely suppressed their opponents.
Because of the changes inside, Nash Gasol was activated, and the most important point is that the Lakers' defensive quality has been greatly improved. Tang Qian's active supplementary defense allowed the Kings to make a difference in the first and third quarters.
The double inside mid-range attack tactic is completely ineffective. Because no matter how you pass the ball, the purple and gold No. 29 will follow you like a shadow, so that you will never find a comfortable open space to shoot.
Of course, you can also choose to hit the man and make a strong shot, but come on, although DeMarcus Cousins and Jason Thompson have the ability to shoot from mid-range, they still need to shoot from an open position. If they hit the man and make a strong shot, they
Far from having this ability. Moreover, this season, Cousins has not developed a three-point shot at all, so after being blocked from the mid-range, all he can do is to hit the inside and penetrate the inside.
But this season Cousins is still a rookie version of Cousins and if it comes to next season, Tang Qian may find it difficult to fight against him. However, this season, Tang Qian is currently enough to defend him.
Averaging 17+ points per game? You also want to attack me? Unless you develop a post-up game, that's about it!
Otherwise, if you play with the noodle basket in front of me, you are seeking death!
This season is really a sluggish season for Cousins. Compared with last season, his offensive level has not improved, but is suspected to have declined. It was precisely because of the criticism after this season that Cousins realized that,
In the summer, he worked hard on his back and footwork, and he became an instant success in the new season. His average points per game increased by more than 4 points, and he instantly reached an attack level close to the peak of Warcraft.
But that's all for next season. This season, hey, if you break through Tang Qian head-on, you'll still get blocked.
It can be seen completely with just one ball. Cousins is far inferior to Tang Qian in terms of footsteps, speed and explosive power. It is too difficult to successfully attack facing the basket. But I still have to praise this guy.
His dribbling skills are very good, at least Tang Qian thinks that he is not as good as him in dribbling.
But... you are a 211cm big center, what kind of dribbling skills do you want? What kind of dribbling breakthrough do you want?
For the inside center, this is purely a matter of giving up the good to the weak.
Once you encounter a defender who can keep up with you, not to mention blocking shots, but at least interfering, it will be very efficient.
But it was even more tragic to meet Tang Qian, who had strong physical hardware.
As far as Cousins is concerned, his body hardware is already extremely outstanding. Although his bare feet are about 208cm at most and he lied a lot about his height, his wingspan is a real 228cm. In addition, his reach height is 287cm.
, combined with the tonnage of about 290 pounds, he is definitely an inside monster. It's a pity, it's a pity, except for his weight, there is nothing about him that can overwhelm Tang Qian, and he will even be completely destroyed by the latter, so tragedy will naturally happen.
A big block sent Cousins' ball flying far away.
Nash of the Lakers went on a solo fast break and hit the net with a layup.
Cousins glared at Tang Qian angrily, his face was indeed ferocious, but in the latter's eyes, it was useless.
People who are frightened by ferocious expressions are mediocre people and mortals. If you want to become a famous star in the NBA, you must overcome this. Jordan once had a famous saying, to deal with ferocious people,
You can only be more ferocious than him. This is not ferocious in expression, but ferocious in skills but in spirit. As long as you defeat your opponent in the end, then he will be no different from Donald Duck and Bugs Bunny.
Tang Qian thought the same way, so he didn't care at all about Cousins' "actor-level" facial expressions.
For the next ball, Cousins actually took the initiative to ask for the ball, and then faced Tang Qian and shouted: "Chinaman, come here, I want this ball to blow you up!" Tang Qian heard this and laughed out loud: "Okay, but
Fat guy, with your current offensive level, you can't beat me."
"You fart!!!" Tang Qian called out, causing Cousins' mind to go crazy because his body fat has always been a headache. What is the concept of body fat exceeding 16%? It seems that except for "Big Shark" O'Neal,
There are not many centers who are taller than him inside. Therefore, this guy's muscle lines have never been very obvious. From a distance, they look like two lumps of fat. Of course, the "fat" here refers to the NBA
Compared with athletes, if compared with ordinary people, they are still very good.
Many people question the body fat rate of NBA players, but in fact it is quite easy to understand. Nowadays, universities have a special sports science major, which explains very clearly why the body fat rate of basketball players is much lower than it appears by visual inspection.
Even many bodybuilders with scary-looking muscle lines have lower body fat percentages than professional basketball players. The reason is the difference between aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise. Especially for NBA players, the amount of aerobic exercise is incomparable to even ten bodybuilders.
So their internal surface and visceral fat content is extremely low. Taking into account the rest of the body parts, even if their surface muscle groups are not as good as those of those exaggerated bodybuilders, they still win because of the ratio of the former. On the contrary, although the latter's surface muscle groups are exaggerated
, looks very visually striking, but the internal visceral fat content is relatively fat, so it usually requires dehydration and other preparations to achieve the body fat rate of NBA athletes.
This is a very scientific explanation, but most ordinary people don’t understand it, so they subconsciously think why bodybuilders’ muscles are so obvious but only have a body fat rate of 5% or 6%. NBA athletes’ muscles are relatively smooth.
It cannot be lower than that of a bodybuilder. A very important point is ignored here, which is the internal surface and visceral fat content.
Athletes are naturally better than bodybuilders in this regard, so overall, not only are their body fat percentages not worse than bodybuilders, but sometimes they are even better.
Unfortunately, there are exceptions, such as Cousins and O'Neal. They are all abnormal NBA players.
Of course, appropriate body fat reserves can enhance the body's protective function, making the body less likely to be injured in large-scale confrontations. But there is another reason why the body fat of this group of people is generally "exceeding the standard."
"failed".
That means training is not diligent enough.
O'Neal's highest body fat rate was with the Lakers. After going to the Heat, because of Riley's crazy training methods, his body fat rate immediately dropped below 13%. According to O'Neal's autobiography, the book "Shaq Unedited" states
, this still did not meet Riley's requirements. At that time, the Heat's body fat rate requirements were 6% for guards, 7% to 8% for forwards, and about 10% for centers. From this, we can see some clues, the so-called Riley "
How cruel and bloody is the "Devil Training Method"?
So this also proves that there is no body fat rate that cannot be reduced, only if you work hard enough.
Of course, can Cousins enter the NBA without training hard? Compared with ordinary people and professional players in minor leagues, of course he works extremely hard. But what kind of place is the NBA? This is the highest palace of basketball, and everyone
It comes from hard work, so here, your original hard work may very well become "lazy" or "lax". Because in this league, there are never people who work the hardest, only people who work harder.
"Would you know if you try it?" Tang Qian opened his hands and said.
"I'm going to knock you out!!!" Cousins' offensive ability this season is far from what he was at his peak. Not only does he not have three-pointers, but his back and footwork have not been developed. He only relies on his face-to-basket skills.
It seems a bit too naive and simple to think of Tang Qian alone.
"DeMarcus faced his opponent in singles, and with a wonderful move, DeMarcus stepped into the Lakers' penalty area. He... No, no, he didn't get rid of the Lakers' No. 29! Lakers
The team's No. 29 was close to him, and DeMarcus was forced near the baseline. DeMarcus had no room to take action!" In the voice of the Kings' on-site commentator, Cousins still chose to force the shot.
, and Tang Qian did not block him with this ball. Instead, it hit the bottom edge of the backboard, giving him a "big block".
The basketball rolled out of the baseline, the Lakers' ball.
When Tang Qian saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little funny and said, "If I had known that the rebound would cover you, I wouldn't have bothered to work so hard."
After saying that, he spread his hands, expressing some helplessness.
This angered Cousins, who had a bad mind and lacked IQ, and became furious. Instead of returning to defense, he immediately rushed to Tang Qian and said: "What are you talking about, Chinaman!!! Are you trying to find T.M.D.
Fight?" Tang Qian originally wanted to avoid it, but after glancing at the bottom line referee beside him, he chose to stay put, and then pretended to be "lifted away with great force" and said: "Referee, referee, he
Foul! He fouled!!!"
The backward movement was so large and the scream was so brutal, it was as if Cousins had punched him instead of pushing him.
This made Cousins immediately opened his mouth and cursed: "What are you pretending to be??? I...fuck...X.X.X!!!"
Originally, Cousins had a bad reputation and had a "black history" of conflicts with referees, so without further ado, the bottom line referee gave him a T. Normal players should calm down at this time, but Cousins
He was obviously not such a person. After seeing the referee's gesture, he became even more angry and said: "Damn bastard!!! It was obviously him who flopped!!! It was obvious that he was pretending on purpose!!! Could it be that your
Don’t you see the dog eyes??? I.X.X.X!!!”
Now is the "zero tolerance" era. Cousins had no problem with this bad attitude. The bottom line referee once again sent him a T. In this way, Cousins sent himself out in just a few dozen seconds.
The stadium.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Cousins. I didn't expect you to leave so soon. I haven't communicated with you enough." Tang Qian saw that the penalty had been decided, and immediately patted himself and said with a smile. "
fuc.k!!! Damn you!!! How dare you, an Oriental guy, cheat on me??? Dare you cheat on me??? I.X.X.X!!!"
"Mr. Be civilized," Tang Qian said, "This is a fair penalty from the referee. Are you dissatisfied with it?"
"I'm going to kill you Chinese guy!!!" Cousins yelled. If the Kings' players hadn't come over and pulled him, he might have really lost control and staged a full-scale martial arts showdown with Tang Qian. Tang Qian's response to
A brainless idiot like Cousins had nothing to say. He replied coldly: "Fuck me to death? It's a pity, let's wait until next season! You won't have this chance tonight!"
"Let's go quickly, don't delay the game."
"Wait for me!!! You damn Oriental guy!!! I'm going to beat you to death!!! I'm going to beat you to death!!!" Cousins uttered as he was being escorted out of the field.
He was also cursing and swearing.
"No wonder I will get meningitis in the future. With your IQ and football IQ, you still want to be the number one center in the league?" Tang Qian waited for Cousins to leave and said with a cold expression: "It's really a good era."
"Tang, are you okay? That guy is a brainless bull!" Gasol was closest to Tang Qian, so he ran over and asked. "It's okay, who is he? I've done it to Howard, and I'm still scared.
A him?" Tang Qian's tone was calm, and he didn't seem to be affected by Cousins. "But hot, did you deliberately seduce..." Before Gasol could finish speaking, Tang Qian turned around and said, "Paul
, you know, I just want to win now, that’s all.”
"As long as there are no fouls and no whistle blowing on the basketball court, I am willing to do it."
"It's hot..."
"Paul, little tricks, trash talk, and diving are all part of this league. Besides." Tang Qian's words happened to be caught by Kobe who was passing by and said: "The Lakers are in urgent need of winning now, aren't they?
?When we put on this jersey, we can't let down the fans who support it."
"So, we must win! We must continue our winning streak!!!"
"We can't lose anymore!!!"
