"You bastards, you're going to lose!" Anthony and Tang Qian had already forged a feud, so when the warm-up was over, he rudely snarled at the latter. As for why he didn't sneer at Kobe.
, because he seemed to see that Kobe's mental state was very unstable and scary.
Based on previous fighting experience, if this black mamba is irritated, something big is likely to happen.
Anthony doesn't want to "make a fuss" at the end of the regular season.
Anyway, the two teams belong to the Eastern and Western Conferences. Unless they reach the finals, it is impossible to meet in the playoffs. Therefore, Anthony feels that there is no need to criticize Kobe. Besides, "the persimmon needs to be pinched by the soft one."
Lakers No. 29 is obviously a "soft persimmon" in Anthony's eyes.
Tang Qian glanced at Anthony and said, "You can't win."
"You are quite arrogant, brat!" Anthony said: "Looking at the current situation of your Lakers team, it is still a question whether you can enter the playoffs. What qualifications do you have to show off with me?" Tang Qian
Smiling slightly, he said: "Just wait, my game will become your nightmare."
"Become my nightmare?" Anthony was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed loudly: "Are you mentally ill? I am the league's scoring leader, averaging close to 29+ per game. You think you can become my nightmare?" Tang Qian
He nodded and said with an unmoved expression: "Of course, I never like to joke."
"You are really annoying!" Anthony saw the other party's understatement and said angrily: "I want to score 30 points tonight, no, 40 points! Let you know that I am Carmelo Anthony.
Awesome!" Tang Qian said: "Then you have to take advantage of the time when I'm not here to do more, otherwise you won't even get a single point in your account."
"Don't even think about scoring a single point!" Anthony was really angry. After all, this season was his most satisfying season. He almost won the scoring title and the team's record ranked second in the league. Now someone actually came out to tell him,
He can't even get a single point? What does this mean? This is absolutely a naked insult!
Anthony originally disliked Tang Qian, so his tone suddenly became unpleasant and he said: "You brat, if I do it tonight, I will definitely make you die badly! Dare you look down on me? You don't even know where this is!" Anthony said.
He said even more fiercely: "In New York, in the Big Apple, I am the king of the NBA, do you understand?"
"I know your background, there is no need to scare me." Tang Qian was not intimidated at all and said: "Whether it is on the basketball court or off the basketball court, I will not be afraid of you or anyone." Anthony
He laughed strangely and said: "Okay, Dongfang guy, just wish yourself well tonight! Haha!"
After the two sides came off the court, Kobe looked at Tang Qian and said: "Don't be affected by the opponent, concentrate on playing!"
Tang Qian nodded and said, "Yes, I can, Mr. Black Mamba."
For the Knicks, Anthony said viciously as soon as he came off the court: "Give me more penalty kicks tonight, Raymond, and I will crush that Oriental guy!" Raymond, the Knicks' starting point guard, said:
"But Carmelo, what Mr. Mike Woodson means is..." Before he could finish speaking, the former raised his tone and said: "What's wrong? Don't you want to? This is just a regular season, just listen to me.
!”
"Oh, okay, okay, Carmelo." Due to Anthony's power in New York, Raymond Felton could only nod in agreement.
The reason why Anthony is not optimistic about Mike Woodson is very simple. He hopes to have a championship coach to coach him, not Mike Woodson and his like. A coach whose career winning rate does not exceed 50%, e.on~ Anthony really wants to pinch him
Damn the New York front office and front office.
Both are members of the 2003 Platinum Generation. The biggest difference between him and James is that James extremely believes in his own abilities. He believes that the head coach is dispensable. As long as the lineup is matched according to his own requirements, even if he is a garbage coach, he will have the confidence to turn him into a good coach.
Championship coach. But Anthony has never thought about it that way.
The first quarter begins.
Howard didn't know what stimulated him, but he was completely "paddling" on the defensive end and only devoted himself to the offensive end.
Under the defense of last year's Defensive Player of the Year Tyson Chandler, his offensive performance was extremely unsatisfactory, and he even had the embarrassing scene of being blocked twice in one round. But even with this, Howard could not play well.
I never thought about playing team basketball and playing pick-and-roll, so I just fell into the weird circle of "low singles".
Of course, the Knicks are "happy to see" this kind of thing, because Howard's behavior is exactly what they want. The defensive end can use the minimum energy and cost to control the Lakers' scoring. As for themselves, on the offensive end,
Playing so fast and constantly opening pick-and-rolls, every "second-court shooter" has been stimulated. Anyway, this is what the Knicks team is most lacking this season. Especially J.R. Smith, even more so.
The biggest beneficiary of the tactics, inspired by Mike Woodson's tactics, Smith averaged a career high in points per game, averaging over 18+ per game.
So, soon, the Lakers fell behind by a big score.
Falling behind again!
After the first quarter, Kobe's face was ashen, because he did not rest for a minute in the entire first quarter, but only took "only" 2 shots. Most of the remaining opportunities were taken away by Howard, but the latter was
The game was very poor, very bad.
Kobe was not in the mood to argue with Howard. He just looked up at the counter above his head and drank a sports drink with his eyes closed. At the end of the first quarter, the New York Knicks led the Lakers 34-13.
21 points.
Mike D'Antoni was too lazy to talk about Howard. He patted Tang Qian on the shoulder and said, "Come on, Hot, use your advantages and control them!" Tang Qian nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir.
I will do it."
As soon as he came on the court, Tang Qian activated a golden ability card because he could see that without Steve Nash at the No. 1 position, the Lakers' organization and connection had a huge problem. Steve.
Blake is good as a substitute, but it is too difficult for him to compete with the starting lineup. The reason why the Lakers fell so far behind in the first quarter was that in addition to Howard's mindless low singles, there were many other reasons why the Lakers fell so far behind in the first quarter.
The important point is that the ability of position one has plummeted.
It is really impossible for Steve Blake to take control of the overall situation and lead the way.
Old Kidd used his experience to trick Blake into spinning around, and the latter simply had no energy to organize and connect.
Therefore, the Lakers are now experiencing fragmentation of players and are not playing as a unit at all.
Nash didn't feel that when he was in the team before. Once he was missing, he immediately saw the "disorganized nature" of the Lakers. They almost all worked on their own, with no chemical reaction or tacit understanding. This kind of football
Landing in the T.N.T broadcast room, both Reggie Miller and Kenny Smith shook their heads.
"It's too tragic, it's simply too tragic. Are the Lakers still an NBA team now? Are you sure they're not a group of wild players who just got together?" Kenny Smith said: "This is simply me.
The ugliest NBA team I have ever seen! And it claims to have a lineup that cost $100 million? The teams in the poor line are much better than them!"
"That's right." Reggie Miller also said: "I thought the Lakers had improved a bit and had a chemical reaction. Unexpectedly, as soon as Nash left, their true colors were revealed and they became the first preseason state of the season." "Where?
Is there any improvement or chemical reaction in the Lakers team? It is completely relying on the ability and experience of two-time regular season MVP Steve Nash to forcibly blend together, okay?" Kenny Smith said: "I see.
Even some college players have a much better tacit understanding than this Lakers team! Do they really look like a group of professional players? It’s ugly, it’s too ugly to watch!”
"Now everyone can see the importance of an excellent point guard to the team." Reggie Miller said: "When Nash was there, we could still play some small coordination, at least Nash + Kobe, Nash + Garfield
The coordination effect of Sol, Nash + role players is still very good. Now that Nash is gone, the Lakers' coordination has been completely lost. I even think that even Lakers head coach Mike D'Antoni's tactical system has lost its ability.
It’s a bit of a collapse.”
"What a pity." Kenny Smith shook his head and said, "I originally expected the Lakers to create a miracle, advance to the playoffs with 11 consecutive victories, and catch the last train. Now it seems that I thought too much.
That guy Charles is a loyal supporter of the Lakers' ability to enter the playoffs this season. I don't see what else he can say now." Reggie Miller also said: "It's very difficult. Without Nash,
The only remaining offensive system of the Lakers has been completely destroyed. Look at these few minutes of the second quarter. Is there any considerable cooperation? They are all singles, singles, individual singles! It is undoubtedly too much to win like this.
It’s a bit difficult!”
"It seems that the people at ESPN were right. Kobe Bryant is going to be slapped in the face."
They are right. Losing Nash's influence is really too big. First of all, the complete disappearance of coordination and chemical reactions is the most intuitive manifestation. A few minutes after the start of the second quarter, the Lakers had no effective effect at all.
The conduction of the ball is almost equivalent to "shooting at random". Whoever gets the ball will shoot if he has a chance. There is no tactical nature at all.
What if we were playing in a high school league or an amateur league? How about playing professional basketball or the NBA? It would be weird if we didn’t get beaten up like crazy!
With no tactics, no coordination, and no purpose, the Lakers at this moment are like an unqualified "three-no product."
What is the result of playing like this? The result is that the shooting rate is pitifully low. Up to now, the Lakers' shooting rate in a single quarter in the second quarter does not exceed 25%. And what about the opponent? He makes consecutive shots, as if his touch has been developed.
It's like they all gave in.
Brush~
After Anthony of the New York Knicks scored another goal, he shouted loudly to the Lakers insider: "How about it? Oriental guys! You are going to lose! You are going to lose. Do you understand? Hahahaha!!!"
"Really? Tang Qian raised the corner of his mouth when he heard this and said, "Then let's give it a try and see how many points you can score and how many goals you can score in the remaining time."
44-17, the score difference is getting bigger and bigger.
In Madison Square Garden, cheers of victory had already sounded in advance.
Their number one fan, Spike Lee, also sat in the front row and shouted loudly: "Hey, Lakers, go home and go fishing. Your season is over. You can go home. Go home."
!!!" Kobe took a deep breath, leaned back, and scored a 2-point goal, 44-19, but for the overall situation, it was like a drop in the bucket and had no effect.
Is it going to be over? No, of course not, everything has just begun, the fun has just begun!
bring it on!!!!!!
Let you try the power of "unlimited hot pot".
Tyson Chandler of the Knicks took a low shot from the inside. Gasol was a bit low in fighting spirit, so the ball just bounced symbolically, and his arm was not even fully extended. This kind of defense is of course impossible to give
Tyson Chandler caused so much interference. So as soon as the ball was released, Tyson Chandler felt stable!
Unfortunately, just when the basketball was about to touch the backboard, a big hand slammed it into the middle of the backboard.
Bang~ With the huge rebound force, the basketball flew directly upside down.
It was picked up by New York Knicks point guard Jason Kidd. Kidd made a quick layup, trying to grab a 2-point ball.
but……
Another block! Block it directly! The basketball flew out of the Lakers' penalty area again.
Lakers No. 24 did not miss the opportunity this time. After getting the basketball, he ran wildly. After breaking through J.R. Smith's defense, he took off from outside the three-point line. With a flick of his arm and a push of his palm, the basketball was like a cannonball. From No. 24's
He launched it from his hand. The basketball drew a beautiful arc in mid-air, and then, with a "swipe" sound, it hit the net.
hollow ball.
The Lakers recovered another 3-pointer.
Kobe glanced at the scorer, turned around and ran back without doing anything.
After Carmelo Anthony saw this, he sneered and said: "Do you want to start a momentum? I'm sorry, I won't let you succeed!"
"I must win this game! I must cut off your Lakers team's path to promotion!"
"Watch it! Chinese hot! Watch it! Kobe Bryant!"
"I will kill you all with my own hands!"
"Jason, give me the next ball, I'm going to kill my opponent!"
Kidd looked up at him, nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
But Carmelo Anthony didn't expect that a hellish second quarter was waiting for him, leaving him unable to recover for a full week.
That No. 29 was like a Titan, suppressing the entire audience.
No matter who shot the ball, it never entered the Lakers' basket.
