"It's amazing, it's amazing! China Tan is obviously in poor physical condition, but he still sticks to the penalty area, making the Mavericks' offense useless!" Bill McDonald said: "This is simply unbelievable!" "The most unlucky thing!
The one that belongs to O.J. Mayo, how many of them were killed by the perm just now? Three or four? It seems that the Dongfang perm who challenged us don’t have any courage." Stu Lantz also said: "
But the hot state is worrying, how long can he hold on? The Lakers are still 8 points behind, can he hold on?"
The answer will be revealed soon.
Tang Qian went crazy in the fourth quarter. Not only O.J. Mayo, but also Marion, Kaman, Mike James, and all the Mavericks players present were spared and were served "hot pot" by the former one by one.
.This scene left the Mavericks bench stunned for a moment, including head coach Rick Carlisle, who didn't know what to say.
Bill MacDonald was aroused by Tang Qian's frequent big blocks, and he began to shout loudly to the commentary microphone in front of him: "Which number is this? Which number is this block? Everyone knows?"
? Already 9, a total of 9 blocks!!! There is only one gap between him and his own single-quarter block record!!! He is very likely to set a new record tonight and create new NBA history!!!"
The atmosphere at Staples Center gradually became high, but it was just the opposite on the Mavericks side. A ball of low pressure hovered over their heads and did not dissipate for a long time. The head coach of the Mavericks, Rick Carlisle, replaced the spirit with Carter.
The sluggish O.J. Mayo replaced the shooting madman Mike James with Darren Collison. Obviously, this is his change of tactics, moving the offensive point from the inside to the outside. If nothing else, Carter and Kobe
Leeson is a stable shooter this season. The most important thing is that they both have good pressure resistance and will not be like Mayo and Mike James, who can only hit the wind.
This is also the reason why Rick Carlisle is unconsciously afraid of the Lakers' No. 29 inside line.
Collison, who had just come on the court, got an open shot opportunity, but maybe because he was cold from sitting on the bench, this good shot missed. It bounced high above the Lakers' basket.
rise.
"Get rebounds!" Darren Collison shouted with some annoyance. Gasol and Nowitzki quickly crowded together. Although the latter's rebounding ability is not as good as the former's, he mainly plays the top part of the ball.
So he barely defeated the Spaniard at the basket. Of course, the price was himself, and he couldn't get the offensive rebound.
Kaman shouldn't be able to get hot, I...
Just when Nash was about to catch the ball for the fast break, the Lakers' basket surprised him.
Tang Qian, who ranks second in the rebounding list this season, actually didn't grab Chris Kaman at the basket??? How many rebounds does Kaman average this season? But it's about 5+, which is better than the former
That's more than twice as much! Logically speaking, there's no reason why Tang Qian can't beat him.
So why is this happening? Why can’t you grab it?
All because Tang Qian's physical injuries were getting more serious at this time, and his thighs and head were on the verge of strike at the same time.
You ask him, if that's the case, why could he block shots like crazy just now and kill everyone?
This is because Tang Qian activated a silver block card in the "different space".
So he can get a fixed number of 16 blocks.
That's why he was able to forcefully stage a "hot pot feast" on the verge of collapse.
But he still has the ability to block shots and rebound, so he really has nothing to do. Because of his current physical condition, let alone Kaman, even an outside player can beat him!
Tang Qian now has all his abilities, but he is hampered by his physical condition and is greatly reduced. He is almost as good as a scarecrow.
So this offensive rebound was taken down by Kaman.
"Good job, Chris!" Darren Chris, who missed the shot, said happily when he saw this.
"Isn't it a bit strange that Kaman, who is over 30 years old, was not grabbed at the basket? And it was a defensive rebound?" Bill McDonald looked a little surprised and said. "There is nothing surprising." Another commentator on the scene said
Stu Lantz said: "It's obvious that Teng has a problem with his physical condition. If we ask him to grab rebounds, he may not be able to beat Chris Kaman of the Mavericks!"
"This is a crisis! If we can't survive it..." Bill McDonald and Stu Lantz are by no means alarmists and talking nonsense. Although the Lakers have made a small climax through defensive counterattacks, after all, at the moment
Dallas is still in the lead, not Los Angeles. Therefore, whether the rebound can be protected will be the key to the final outcome of this fierce battle.
Originally, the Lakers should have an absolute advantage in rebounding, but Tang Qian is "half useless". It is difficult for him to beat Nowitzki and Kaman with Gasol alone. In this way, rebounding
The advantage was transferred from the Lakers to the Mavericks.
In the past, I have often mentioned the relationship between rebounding and offense and defense. The Mavericks currently have a lot of shooting spots, so if they control the rebounds, the Lakers' situation will be reversed in an instant.
There is no hope of winning at all.
After Kaman grabbed the offensive rebound, he pressed his body, then jumped up on the spot, preparing to dunk the Lakers' basket with both hands.
"Oh~my~ Another block!!! Another block!!! The tenth, this is the tenth block in the fourth quarter!!! He tied his own record of blocks in a single quarter!!!
"Accompanied by Bill McDonald's commentary, the Lakers were in a hurry, and Kobe Bryant scored a three-pointer from the top of the arc.
Kaman looked back at Lakers No. 29. The shaky Eastern center became mysterious in his eyes. When the Mavericks attacked, Carter made a corner three-pointer, but because he stepped on the line,
It was only counted as a 2-pointer.
It can be seen that Rick Carlisle is worthy of being a championship-winning head coach. His vision and tactical changes are much better than the average NBA head coach. Kobe Bryant of the Lakers tried another three-pointer, but unfortunately this time it was too powerful.
point, did not hit the Mavericks' basket, and the rebound was successfully protected by the Mavericks.
When retreating from defense, Tang Qian and Nash said: "Steve, you will stick to the shot later and let the opponent rush in and take the shot."
Nash turned his head when he heard this. He looked at No. 29, who was in extremely poor condition and looked pale, and said, "Tang, you are already like this, how can you still..."
"Don't worry, I can handle it, trust me." Tang Qian's tone of voice was a little distorted, but he still said firmly.
Nash also saw the Mavericks' tactical plan, calculated his current defensive ability, gritted his teeth, and stuck to it, leaving Darren Collison with almost no space to shoot. But in this scene, the latter
I laughed secretly in my heart and said: You are so close to me, aren't you letting me get ahead of others? Steve Nash, the former MVP winner, due to age, his body is not functioning well, and his brain has also deteriorated!
Sure enough, Darren Collison passed Nash in one step, and then subconsciously rushed into the Lakers' penalty area.
This is one of the common problems of modern players. In addition to three-point shooting, they are attacking the inside and shooting from the basket. The mid-range is always the third choice. Darren Collison is not without the ability to shoot mid- and long-range jumpers. On the contrary, his accuracy is quite good.
This season, COSCO's shooting percentage of more than 40% is good enough. But his playing habit still makes him unable to help but dive into the Lakers' interior.
Tang Qian also used a trick here. He deliberately stood in a very bad defensive position and got out of the way of the basket. Therefore, from Darren Collison's point of view, the distance between the Lakers' inside line and the basket
, it was a smooth road, basically letting people get whatever they wanted. He didn't think much about this kind of good thing, and shot the layup in three steps.
The result was... with a "pop" sound, Tang Qian was slapped with a big hat and flew down.
The Lakers gained the ball, and Kobe succeeded in posting up Carter. The Lakers once again narrowed the score gap between the two sides.
At this time, the Staples Center finally started to boil. Fans stood up one after another and began to cheer loudly for the home team.
"The eleventh block!!! This is the eleventh block!!! Fang broke his own NBA single-quarter block record!!! He succeeded!!!"
In the direction of the Mavericks, head coach Rick Carlisle shouted: "Don't fall for the trap, don't attack the Lakers' interior more, shoot more! Shoot more!" Although I don't want to admit it, tonight No. 29 is like an incarnation.
Like a Nordic giant, no matter how "weak" or "sick" he looks, he still won't give in to the intruders and will try his best to crush them.
If Lakers No. 29's face, steps, and physical condition were not all in an ugly state, Nick Carlisle would have even wondered whether he was injured or whether he had faked the injury.
Carter used a pick-and-roll to break through Kobe's defense. He originally wanted to pull up and shoot, but it was similar to Darren Collison's situation just now... The path between the Lakers' interior and the basket was too smooth and too smooth.
Without any defense, this is a naked temptation for any basketball player. Carter couldn't hold it back and collapsed in stride, and then chose to finish with a powerful dunk.
But Tang Qian, who has been blessed with ability cards, let alone the current old Carter, even the peak Carter can't please him, so... a big fire shot, and slapped away Carter's dunk. The basketball was snatched by Marion.
Then Marion quickly took a shot from the basket, "Pa~~~", and was once again blocked by Lakers No. 29 with one hand.
"AHHHHHHHHHH~Dongfang Tang must have been possessed by something tonight!!! He must have been possessed by something!!! The thirteenth block!!! His refresh is still going on!!! He hasn't asked for it yet!
I mean stop!!!" Under the passionate shouting of the old guy next to him, Stu Lantz also got a little excited and said: "This little guy is so surprising tonight. If the Lakers can win, he will definitely be the winner.
One of the top heroes!!!”
The atmosphere of the Lakers' scene was further raised by Tang Qian, but the head coach of the Mavericks didn't look so good. He stood on the sidelines and couldn't help shouting: "What are you doing!!! What are you doing!!! I
Don’t you understand what I’m saying??? Avoid that Oriental guy, avoid the Lakers’ inside shots!!! He’s in great blocking form right now, aren’t you looking for blocks when you go in? Shoot, use outside shots to score!!!”
Gasol caught the ball inside and scored with a straight-arm hook.
The Mavericks called a 20-second timeout. It was not a tactical arrangement, but head coach Rick Carlisle kept emphasizing an issue, which was to reduce attacks on the basket, reduce inside shots, concentrate on the team's shooting advantage, and adopt
Attack outside the paint area! This is a very correct decision. At least in the next 3 minutes, the Mavericks and Lakers fought back and forth. Although they could not expand the score difference, they at least maintained the score difference.
Let the Lakers overtake.
During the short pause, Gary Vitti tried to persuade Mike D'Antoni to replace Tang Qian and let Howard play, but Tang Qian stopped him with just one word.
Let me play, this game, there is still hope of winning.
It was this sentence that made Mike D'Antoni continue to "take risks" and send Tang Qian, who seemed to be in extremely poor physical condition, to play again. As for some people, their faces turned blue with anger, because Tang Qian meant very much.
Obviously, if he were to replace him, he would be completely defeated, completely defeated, and there would be no possibility of winning at all.
Howard wanted to stand up and refute the opponent, but to be fair, he did not have the desire to win, and if the team lost after playing, the outside world would definitely make up nonsense, claiming that it was because of his playing that the team failed to come back, and the team was cut off.
Howard has fully planned not to stay in Los Angeles, so there is really no need to forcefully take the blame and "add fuel to the fire" for Tang Qian before leaving.
During this period of time, Tang Qian couldn't exert much effort, because with his current physical condition, he could hardly follow up and defend. He could only watch the Lakers being shot by the opponent. Fortunately, his teammates were strong, Nash + Kobe
+ Gasol, the three of them were full of firepower and started a confrontation with the Mavericks, which kept the suspense of the game until the last minute.
There are 1 minute and 13 seconds left before the end of the game. The Mavericks lead the Lakers by 4 points and Los Angeles has the ball.
Gasol posted up Kaman but missed the shot, giving the Mavericks immediate hope of a comeback.
In the offensive round, the Mavericks handed the basketball to Nowitzki, which is also the consistent style of the Dallas people at the last moment.
Because the key finishing ability of "King Nuo" is definitely the top in the league, even the top in history. Even if he is no longer as brave as he was in the past, the Mavericks can't find a second person to replace him. So of course, by
He comes to handle the final key ball.
Where's Tang Qian? He feels like he's running out of oxygen now. He's dizzy and has severe ringing in his ears. Every step he takes doesn't feel like he's stepping on a wooden floor, but like he's stepping on clouds, which are extremely soft. This is also
No wonder, after the concussion occurred, he should have rested and rested in bed, but Tang Qian forced himself to support him and continued to play one of the most intense ball games on earth. This would not make the injury worse, and that would be weird.
At this moment, he felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat, and there was no place in his body that was not weak.
This state is simply terrible!
Nowitzki glanced at Tang Qian and shook his head slightly. He admired the Oriental center's persistence and will, but playing basketball is not making a movie. Persistence and will sometimes work, but many times, it still doesn't help.
.However, based on the "exaggerated blocking performance" on the 29th just now, the German carefully chose to shoot directly backward, without any intention of squeezing inside.
After all, he is "Big Bird" and his shooting ability is among the best in the league, so he is fully qualified to take such a shot.
Why is Nowitzki so difficult to guard? His playing habits are also extremely uncomfortable for many inside players.
This ball should be there, and it feels good to release it.
While Nowitzki was thinking about it, a slow but determined figure suddenly ran towards him, then jumped with all his strength, looking like he was going to block his fadeaway shot.
Just kidding, your speed and frequency will be greatly reduced. This is a complete waste of effort!
I appreciate your will and spirit, but in many cases, will and spirit cannot change the reality or the objective!
So I’m sure this goal will be scored...what????????
A look of surprise suddenly flashed across Nowitzki's face, because he seemed to faintly see that the opponent's fingers touched his basketball. The next second, the basketball that was unable to slide down confirmed his suspicion.
.
He... was blocked again??? And vaguely, Nowitzki felt the opponent without even opening his eyes???
He, how did he do it???
"The fourteenth block!!! Ladies and gentlemen!!! This is the fourteenth block in this section!!! Will our Dongfang Fang continue to make history??? Please cheer for him!!
!”
Kobe used his signature fadeaway jumper, and the basketball drew a beautiful arc in the sky and went straight through the Mavericks net.
Only 2 points away!
At this critical moment, the further the shot is, the greater the fluctuation in hit rate will be. For example, Carter's ball was not successfully thrown into the Lakers' basket. Gasol roared and faced Kaman and
Nowitzki protected this hard-earned rebound. Otherwise, because of the persistence and perseverance of No. 29 tonight, he had to be moved and shocked!
Therefore, Gasol rarely inspired hardness and bloodiness.
It was Kobe again, changing direction in the mid-range and making a fadeaway jumper. Carter almost hit his face, but he didn't stop him from scoring.
At this moment, he completely realized the gap between himself and the other party.
No. 24 was still on the tail end of his peak, but he didn't know how long ago...
98-98, the two sides were tied, and the Mavericks immediately called a timeout to adjust and interrupt the Lakers' offensive rhythm.
"Dirk, you have to attack later, no matter who is defending you! Do you understand?" The head coach of the Mavericks was also anxious. The score difference of more than ten points was closed by the opponent. He felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
Taste. While drinking a sports drink to replenish water and energy, the German nodded and said: "I understand, sir, I will try my best to do it."
This is Nowitzki's usual style, but if he tries his best, he will definitely be in 100% game condition.
At this point, the Mavericks' championship lineup has long been broken up, and everyone has gone their separate ways, so there are no good team tactics to use. The only thing they can rely on is the soul of the team, Dirk Nowitzki's personality.
Able. At least in the eyes of Rick Carlisle, Nowitzki's key abilities are still trustworthy. The Mavericks were able to win the championship as a dark horse. Apart from the collective explosion of role players, there was another very important reason.
Every time it was critical, the German man No. 41 in front of him would step forward and shoot the basketball.
So in a sense, Dirk Nowitzki is the Kobe Bryant of Dallas and the Jordan of Dallas.
So Rick Carlisle trusted him.
For the Lakers, after Mike D'Antoni said his words of encouragement, he stood next to Tang Qian and asked with concern: "Tang, are you okay? Are you still okay?" Tang Qian's answer satisfied him.
Let him nod secretly: "Of course, Mr. D'Antoni, I'm okay."
He said this in his mouth, but everyone could see that he was "very bad" now.
As the game went on, his physical condition became worse and worse. He suffered from sweating, labored breathing, decreased muscle tone, and decreased blood pressure, not to mention dizziness, which was a symptom that existed from the beginning. This was like Tang Qian playing basketball.
It was the most uncomfortable game in his life, but the reason why he could still persevere was because he had something to rely on. As long as he persisted until he went home and went to bed, everything would be fine.
Otherwise, he really doubted whether he could hold on.
The timeout passed quickly and the game restarted.
As expected for the Mavericks, the basketball was transferred to No. 41 Nowitzki. In a sense, the Mavericks and the Lakers have similar key play styles, both relying on the personal abilities of their stars to solve problems. Just in Canada
When Sol was about to go up to help, Tang Qian said in a slightly trembling voice: "Paul, don't come over, protect the rebound."
Yes, this is what Tang Qian needs Gasol to do. Otherwise, if he blocks Nowitzki's shot but is grabbed the rebound by the Mavericks, then his efforts will be in vain. His current physical condition is basically
There is no way to worry about rebounding, so Gasol will be the Lakers' last barrier to rebounding.
After the explanation, Tang Qian gritted his teeth and secretly told himself that he only had about 1 minute left, why should he hold on forcibly!!!
Nowitzki has no intention of looking down on Tang Qian anymore. No matter what physical condition his opponent is in now, he will still show 100% of his strength. Post-up singles, then master the rhythm, turn his back to the side, and make independent shots.
.
The movement of this ball was very smooth and very fast. Logically speaking, it should be impossible for Tang Qian to block it, but... Lakers No. 29 just did this. He faced Novi
Even though Tsky's right leg hit his waist and abdomen, he didn't seem to notice it.
This is not because he is unaware, nor is it because Tang Qian can endure it. It is just that at this moment, his concussion symptoms have taken away 99% of the brain's physical perception, including pain. So to be honest, that moment
For a moment, he didn't feel much pain.
But it is a pity that Nash's three-pointer failed to hit the opponent's basket.
The Mavericks still have a chance to defeat the Lakers.
This time, Nowitzki actually chose a screen shot that is rarely used. He called out Kaman to set up a low screen, and then used Kaman's height and width to shoot independently.
This time, you can't stop me...
Just when Nowitzki thought of this, he was completely blinded, because in front of him, no, it should be said in front of Kaman, a black shadow suddenly rose up, and the black shadow jumped so high
, seemed to be completely healthy and uninjured. Only when Nowitzki's sight glanced at his eyes, he suddenly realized that at this moment, No. 29's eyes were completely closed and not opened at all...
Just like a desperate fight on the battlefield, the physical body dies, but the spiritual will continues.
Continuing his last second of thoughts before his death.
