The Lakers finally won the game with an 11-point advantage.
Tang Qian scored 15 points, 14 rebounds, 4 blocks and 2 assists in this game. However, because he frequently went out to supplement defense and expand defense, he only managed to collect 14 rebounds, which was only tied with the challenge data.
surpassing the past. In this way, his "Today in History Challenge Mission" for this game finally ended with a silver completion level.
Got a silver ability card fragment. The current stock of silver ability card fragments is x2.
Kobe played 43 minutes in this game and scored 36 points. He was also the best player of the game.
In addition, Nash scored 18 points and 12 assists, and Gasol scored 20 points, 9 rebounds, 1 block and 3 assists.
Although Howard's statistics were acceptable, he had no obvious advantage over the other "Three Kings", which made him look sullen throughout the post-game press conference.
The winning streak continues, but the Lakers have no room to relax, because their ranking is still eleventh in the Western Conference, and there has been no change. As soon as he returned to the hotel, Howard called Kupchak and said:
"Mitch Kupchak! Are you kidding me, right? You are definitely kidding me! You and that Chinese guy also reached a private agreement, right!!!"
Kupchak seemed to know that Howard would call, so he immediately comforted him: "There was a little accident in this game. The staff made a mistake, so I submitted the roster. I will definitely not play in the next game."
This kind of thing will happen again." "The end? The next one? Do you think I'm a primary school student? You can just trick me???" After Howard was "flipped" once, for Mitch Kupchak
, obviously no longer trusts Tao.
"Dwight, I promise this will be the next time! Because I will go to the next game in person and submit this roster! So rest assured." Mitch Kupchak, as the team's general manager, is indeed
With such power, the so-called coaches and team doctors need to report to him before they can decide on the final roster. If you are a legendary dynasty coach like Phil Jackson, you may still be facing the one you just came from.
Mike D'Antoni, who has less than one season, hey, forget it. Mitch Kupchak doesn't regard him as a threat at all.
Besides, if it really doesn't work, as the big BOSS of the team management, he can activate the "team ban" mechanism. Just like the Rockets treated Tracy McGrady back then, no matter how you complain or plead, I won't let you play and I won't ban you.
If you are put on the big list for today's activation, then you can only sit and watch yourself being "hidden" and "suppressed".
I believe Rockets fans may still have some impression of the famous "7-minute time limit" in 2009. It was nominally a war between McGrady and Adelman. In fact, if there was no management support behind Adelman, how could McGrady be defeated by this "
"Suppressed by the 7-minute time limit"? So if you offend the management or general manager, generally speaking, the end will not be good.
Even if you are a famous NBA star.
Unless...you can be like Kobe and get the support of big bosses beyond the management.
For example, the big boss of a team.
However, Tang Qian's current situation is completely different from that of McGrady. McGrady was caused by his own "competition" during the 2008-2009 season. On February 18, he privately announced on his personal website that the surgery would end the season, which made Houston's management completely furious.
Because neither the management nor the coaching staff had any prior information. In other words, McGrady made his own decision on such a big matter. From an individual point of view, this is responsible for his own body, but what is professional basketball?
Athletes? It means that your body is not only your own, but also belongs to the team and the fans. You perform surgery without any prior notice, resulting in the season being reimbursed and whoever replaces it will be outraged. Just because of this matter, wait a minute
When he came back last season, the Rockets management secretly supported Adelman and gave McGrady a "seven-minute time limit." This directly caused McGrady, who was accustomed to "training through competition," to lose his status, and then quickly perished.
The same goes for stars. If you are not given enough playing time and deliberately "hidden" you, your game status will definitely be ruined. If you want to pick it up again, it will take double the time. It is even very likely that... it will never happen again.
Can't pick it up anymore. McGrady is the latter. After going to the Knicks, he could never regain his former heroic state, so he was abandoned by the league and became a completely ordinary player. Although he has a congenital spinal injury, he deserves sympathy.
But you can’t blame others for certain behaviors. Whatever decision you make, you will definitely pay a corresponding price. This is a causal theory that cannot be simpler.
However, the Lakers management did not know that Tang Qian was not alone for a long time. He had already joined another line of the Lakers through Bonnie Laughlin. Otherwise, he would rise in the future and gain the respect of the new boss.
, or they will be unlucky together, and the losers will be purged together. The NBA, especially the big city teams in the NBA, will always have this kind of drama, like what is said in some novels, being a "lonely minister",
Remaining neutral and watching with a cold eye is completely fanciful, because you are already trapped in this torrent, how can you "come out of the mud and remain unaffected"?
To put it cruelly, if you choose neutrality, then it is most likely that you will be the first to bear the brunt of being eliminated.
In the power struggle of a big family, how can it be possible to get rid of the sand?
So when Tang Qian made a decision, he could only follow Bonnie Laughlin or Jenny Buss, and he would be both prosperous and deprived. As for being a "little guy", hey, in a word, you have to bear it.
Anger and attacks from both sides.
This is the most direct reality, cruel, cruel, and ruthless.
In a luxury suite in Los Angeles.
"Are you saying that Kobe, Nash, Gasol, and even other ordinary players all have a good impression of this Chinese player?" The woman who spoke is the eldest daughter of Lakers coach Buss, the third among the six children.
Jenny Buss was sitting on a high-end sofa at the moment, looking at a report in her hand and said, "That's right, Miss. Although this Chinese hottie has not been with the Lakers for a long time, he has a close relationship with everyone in the team."
Yes, including Bryant, Steve, and Paul." The next person speaking was Bonnie Laughlin, her attitude was respectful and there was no arrogance in the workplace at all.
"Well, really?" Jenny Buss said: "Then this little Eastern guy is far smarter than we thought. At least except for Gasol, it is rare to see Kobe so kind to an inside player, right? This can be considered him
By the way, what do you think of his performance and potential on the field?"
"I think he should be able to become a stable All-Star blue-collar player in the future, not to mention reaching the level of Dikembe Mutombo, but at least the level of Camby and Tyson Chandler. It is still very possible.
As for his performance on the court, my personal opinion is that he plays very hard and selflessly, and accepts dirty and tiring work without complaining or fighting for the ball. He is a very good champion puzzle piece." Bonnie Laughlin listened.
If so, Jenny Buss said: "Well, an outstanding blue-collar worker like him is indeed valuable in the current league."
"Continue to observe. If he continues to be in this state, then we can consider adding weight to win over this player."
Jenny Bass said: "I just don't know if his Oriental body function can last until that time. If like Yao, he gets injured in a few years, then our investment will be... Oh, forget it, let's go
Let’s take it one step at a time. After all, he is the one who clearly stands on my side right now. There are still too few such people in the Lakers."
