The high post shot is located in the area above the center line of the backboard, and it is extremely difficult to cover it under normal circumstances.
What's more, there is a 7-foot Nowitzki under the basket now.
Nowitzki has a lot of basketball experience, so his shot selection at this position is also carefully considered.
Therefore, in his opinion, this is a ball that cannot be destroyed unless he misses the shot himself.
But the shooting feeling of this ball is good, 90% of the time it will not miss the basket.
But at this moment, Tang Qian did something that shocked the entire Staples.
Later, Kobe even bluntly said that Tang Qian's goal awakened the courage and courage that the Zijin Army had lost for a long time this season.
"The release point of this ball is great. Nowitzki is worthy of being an old player who has been playing for more than ten years. China is still too hot...what??? He is crazy??? What does he want to do???"
Picture, is he crazy???" Bill MacDonald's words made Stu Lantz beside him also stunned, and murmured: "This Oriental center is risking his life when he plays the ball."
What do you mean? It turned out that Tang Qian had no intention of giving up at all. Instead, he jumped up smoothly, like a falcon, and immediately touched the height of the backboard.
He touched the orange basketball that hadn't had time to touch the backboard.
You must know that at this moment, there is nothing underneath him. Dirk Nowitzki is standing under the backboard.
No matter whether he can block the ball or not, he will definitely trip over the German before landing and lose his balance in mid-air. What does this mean for a professional basketball player? It means that he is very likely to be injured.
Dangerous, and the kind of injury that can end a career!
It’s far more than that. What will happen if you forcefully take off when there is almost no space to jump? Even if there is no Dirk Nowitzki under him, he will hit his head on the bottom edge of the backboard. Unless he gives up blocking the ball.
Not even close.
But since Tang Qian had taken off, how could he possibly give up? At this moment, there was nothing else in his eyes except the basketball near the backboard.
Well, even if he has the courage, it is still extremely difficult to block this ball, because the space and time left for him to take off are too small, and it is difficult for him to slap this ball away as usual.
The ball. From the perspective of a normal NBA player, it is really not worthwhile to block such a ball! Because your reward and effort are not proportional at all, and the success rate is horribly low!
We are all professional players, and we will have to make a living from this. If you play such a big "bet", you are either an idiot or a lunatic. But Tang Qian has no such scruples at all in his mind, so at this moment, he is not distracted.
I just want to touch the basketball that is about to hit the backboard with all my strength!
Because according to the rules of basketball, if the basketball touches the backboard, it cannot be touched again, otherwise it must be falling and it must be an interference ball. Misjudgment of the ball still occurs in FIBA, but in the NBA with many physical monsters, referees
Players' penalties for ball interference are mostly strict, so Tang Qian must touch the basketball before it hits the backboard.
Can you touch it? It seems difficult.
But No. 29 of the Lakers did not give up. His eyes were firm and his arms were extended to the maximum extent.
Touch! Touch! I must touch this ball!
Tang Qian seemed to be touched by something in mid-air, and then there was a "dang" sound, and his fingertips touched the orange-red basketball that was about to touch the board.
This was not a particularly shocking and violent block, and even Tang Qian barely touched a finger and barely changed its trajectory.
However, it still made the whole audience quiet for a while.
"Oh my God, he, he actually did it, he actually touched that basketball!!!" Bill McDonald had just finished speaking, and there was a "bang" through the loudspeaker near the basket and backboard.
It reached the ears of everyone present.
That was... the sound of the head and the backboard hitting each other!
It wasn't over yet. After hitting the backboard, he jumped too high and tripped over Nowitzki. Then, like a truck, he flipped over.
This was an extremely scary scene, at least the audience in the front row were so frightened that their expressions changed.
With a "bang", Nowitzki and Tang Qian both fell to the ground.
The bottom line referee did not hesitate and blew the whistle immediately, because according to his experience on the court, the cost of blocking the ball is not small, and may even be very tragic! Therefore, it is his referee's obligation to take the initiative to suspend the game!
"Gary, Gary, hurry up, bring someone up there and have a look!!!" This scene scared Mike D'Antoni to the point where he was a little unsteady, because he has been playing and coaching basketball for so many years, except before the 1990s, the new
This situation has rarely been seen since the beginning of the century. Because most of today's basketball players come here for US dollars, which is completely different from that era when they only received a small amount of money and purely played basketball.
How can you call yourself a "professional player" if you don't take care of your body?
Labor and management will have to rely on this to make a living in the future! What should I do if I get injured? Who is responsible??? Are you responsible???
So from the perspective of bloodiness and confrontation, today's basketball is indeed more "civilized" and "gentleman" than before.
Playing games with harmony and making a fortune comfortably is the overall trend of this league. Especially when compared with the old players who entered the league in the 1990s, you can clearly see the spirit of the new players.
The contrast is strong.
That's why Mike D'Antoni was shocked by Tang Qian's defense. The latter's persistence exceeded his imagination.
This guy... really doesn't care about his body! Is he still a young player in the new era?
To be honest, he is just like the basketball players of the last century!
Gary Vitti didn't need Mike D'Antoni's orders at all. He rushed into the court with everyone, then ran to the Lakers basket and asked loudly: "Hey~ are you two okay? Are you okay??
?”
"I, I'm okay, I have nothing to do. You should just take a look at this oriental boy." Hearing this, Nowitzki sat up first, and then moved out of the way. Gary Vitti nodded, and then began to pay attention.
Check the physical condition of Lakers No. 29.
"Hey~hot~hot~can you hear my voice? Hot~" After shouting several times, No. 29 on the ground responded, struggled slightly and replied: "Yes, is it Gary?" "That's right.
, Hot, it’s me, don’t get up in a hurry now, lie down and let me check and check.” After Gary Vitti said that, he pushed Tang Qian flat, and then while shining a flashlight into his eyes, he asked:
"Tang, how do you feel now? Is your hearing okay? How is your vision?"
"I, I should be fine, my hearing is fine, my vision is fine, but my brain is buzzing and I'm a little bored." Tang Qian answered truthfully, because Gary Vitti is definitely not a "vet" for some teams.
, so his professionalism is worthy of trust. "This is normal." Gary Vitti said: "The preliminary conclusion is that it is a concussion, but the level is not easy to say. We will wait until we return to the locker room and examine it carefully."
Just as he was about to call the medical staff behind him and lift Tang Qian onto a stretcher, Tang Qian suddenly reached out and grabbed Gary Vitti, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Gary, listen to me.
I don't want to go back to the locker room right now. The Lakers are still in bad shape, so I have to stay on the court." "What? Hot! Are you crazy? You know that besides a concussion, you probably have something else.
What's wrong with you? After falling from such a high place, the ligaments and bones may have been impacted and injured, so if you continue to stay on the court, you are overdrawing your body and your career!" Gary Vitti was the first to hear this.
He refused and said, just kidding, with such a serious injury, it was impossible for him to let the former continue to play.
This goes against his professional ethics.
But Tang Qian shook his head and said: "Gary, listen to me, I understand my own body and there is no big problem with me, so I should continue to stay on the court." He breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The Lakers need it too.
I continue to stay on the field." "Nonsense!!!" Gary Vitti became a little angry and immediately said angrily: "Do you know what you are doing? Do you know what you are asking me to do? If something goes wrong, just
It’s not your fault anymore! Do you understand? I, Gary Vitti, have been working for the Lakers for decades, and I have never had a major medical incident. It never happened before, never will happen now, and never will in the future.
There will be! So there is nothing to say, you must get on the stretcher immediately and follow me back to the dressing room!"
"Gary! Please! I can't go off the field now! I don't have to go off the field!" Tang Qian also insisted on his opinion: "If the team loses this game, you should know the end and the consequences! We will become this Los Angeles
, even a legendary joke in the entire American basketball world!”
"So, I want to stay! I want to continue playing!"
"Are you crazy? Chinese perm! You feel happy doing this for a while and you become a man, but what will you do in the future? You are still young. If you leave any sequelae, you will regret it for the rest of your life! You will hate me for the rest of your life!!
! Understand???" Gary Vitti said: "This is the NBA, you are a professional basketball player, you are not a high school student or a college student, so everything must be based on professional considerations, everything must be considered based on professional considerations, understand
Don’t you understand? There are too many people in the history of the NBA who have been ruined by ‘fighting with injuries’, and people who have been ‘failed to get out of the firing line even though they were slightly injured’. Don’t think that you are a movie character and you can be invincible! I have seen it
The number of young players ruined by injuries is only a lot more than the games you have played, so listen to me, get off the field immediately, this season is over, there will be next season, next season is over, there will be next
This season, you are still young and there is no need to work so hard."
But Gary Vitti's "sincere words" still failed to sway No. 29. Tang Qian only heard Tang Qian say: "Gary, you are good for me. I know it, and I understand it, but if you want me to watch the team decline,
I can't do it." Tang Qian took a breath, stared at Gary Vitti and said seriously: "Because I have never done this since I played basketball. Just like your medical career, I have never done it before, and I have never done it now.
I don’t know how to do it, and I won’t know how to do it in the future! Therefore, I must stay on the court!”
Gary Vitti was so angry at Tang Qian's stubbornness that he laughed and said: "Hot~ I'm not telling you, do you really think you can save this game and save the Lakers by being a hero and staying on the court? We have already won this season.
No, it’s already a failure. Look at the court, look at the entire Staples Center, how many people still believe that you can win, how many people still believe that you can enter the playoffs! You did this.
The price is too wishful thinking!"
Gary Vitti originally said this partly to deliberately hit Tang Qian and make him give up, and the other half... He also needs to vent and release. You must know that his working time with the Lakers is far longer than being on the court.
Any Lakers player is great.
Even if he is No. 24, even if he is Kobe, it is far inferior to his "Lakers career".
So when it comes to his feelings for the Lakers, he is stronger than anyone present.
"Gary, your words are too absolute." Tang Qian struggled to stand up and said, "Stop talking about me. Isn't there a soldier standing over there who has not given up and continues to fight?" Tang Qian struggled to stand up.
Qian used the floor and forced himself to stand up, saying: "My current abilities, qualifications, and honors are far inferior to his, but I don't want to lose to him for my persistence in the game..."
"Because, for certain experiences, experiencing them once is enough."
Tang Qian stood up again and said: "Besides, Gary, who says I can't save the game, who says I can't save the Lakers? Not to mention other times, tonight, I will save it! I will definitely win.
I’ll show you this game next time!”
"I will definitely win this game and show it to all Lakers fans!"
"We, the Los Angeles Lakers, still have hope, but we are far from complete failure."
"Tang, you are too stubborn. Are you imitating Kobe?" After hearing what Gary Vitti said, Tang Qian turned around and smiled: "You can say that, sir, because Mr. Black Mamba is so
One thing is the rarest and most lacking thing in this alliance right now, isn't it?"
"Since it is such a precious thing, isn't it normal for me to study?" Tang Qian grinned at Gary Vitti and said, "I am an Oriental. In our country, diligence and studiousness are the basic traditional virtues.
ah."
"So, let me stay on the court, I promise to win this game!"
"I promise it will be worth it to make you violate professional ethics for the only time in your life!"
"Believe me, Mr. Vitti! I won't fall down so easily!"
"The Lakers must win this game! The Lakers must make the playoffs this season!"
"On this point, his and I have exactly the same views!"
PS: I don’t know if I can break out today because Xiaozi is not feeling well. If I can, I will continue. If not, I will postpone it to tomorrow, okay? Thank you everyone~
