Throughout the second quarter, the Lakers chased for more than ten points, and the final score was 38-48. The Knicks only scored 14 points in a single quarter.
Among them, Anthony suffered the worst. He once again ate 6 hot pots from Tang Qian, which was exactly the same as the game on December 20 this season.
In that game, Anthony also suffered 6 blocks from Tang Qian in a single quarter.
And just like the latter said, Anthony took 6 shots in front of Tang Qian, with zero hits and zero points.
Not a single cent was recorded.
When Anthony was substituted in the second quarter, bursts of boos suddenly erupted in Madison Square Garden.
This is a characteristic of big cities, both New York and Los Angeles. If their players don't play well, they still won't give you much good looks. Anthony was a little confused when he came off the court, but after such a fuss, he suddenly came back to his senses.
, his face was ashen.
Damn Oriental guys!!! Damn Lakers No. 29!!! Just wait for me!!!
Kobe scored 16 points in a single quarter, and he was also one of the main contributors to the Lakers' ability to catch up with so many points.
Although the Lakers caught up with a lot of points in the second quarter, if you look closely, the Lakers' offense actually played extremely poorly. They only had 4 assists in a single quarter, and most of the time they were stopping the ball for singles or random shots.
In birdie, without Steve Nash's connection and organization, the Lakers' already extremely poor chemical reaction and tacit understanding were almost reduced to zero.
Tang Qian had 9 blocks, 5 rebounds and 2 points in a single quarter. He was also a major contributor to the Lakers' ability to narrow the score.
After a short break in the locker room, the third quarter began. After a break and recuperation, the New Yorkers' morale and mental state recovered a lot. At the beginning, they gave the Lakers a three-pointer. Gasol
He tried to step up to help Kobe Bryant score, but after hitting consecutive low shots, he instead aroused dissatisfaction from his teammate Dwight Howard.
"Can you go out?" Howard said with an unhappy look on his face: "You have occupied the low post, how can I fight? Do you want me to do dirty work and become a blue-collar worker?" Gasol was forced by his restrained temperament.
, did not argue with him, but on the offensive end, the haze of the previous schedule was cleared away, and he gradually began to take the initiative to play singles, and no longer bowed to Dwight Howard.
Because he also saw that the Lakers still have hope of entering the playoffs.
Even though it was a long shot, there were still people in the team who didn't give up. Nash's injuries and Ci Shiping's injuries awakened him even more. As a champion member of the Lakers and as the right-hand man of No. 24, shouldn't he be inferior to these "latecomers"?
"?
When the Spaniards thought of this, they finally began to slowly resist the decline and gradually cleared away the gloom.
Tang Qian watched from the field and couldn't help but clenched his fists. He felt that his efforts were not in vain.
At least in the last 2012-2013 season, Pau Gasol never recovered until the end of the season, but now...
We still have a chance!
Tang Qian's inner belief became a little firmer.
"Tyson? Why are you always beaten by that Spaniard? Could it be that you still can't handle him?" Seeing the inside lose another ball, Anthony asked angrily. Chandler had no choice but to say truthfully:
"The Spaniard seems to be awakening tonight. That feeling is just like the 2008-10 season. It is difficult to handle."
"What? Tyson! You were the league's best defensive player last year! Can't you still handle a second-rate insider who averages 13+ points per game?" Chandler was a little speechless after hearing Anthony say this, because Gasol tonight
His performance is not something that an insider who averages 13+ points per game can achieve. Moreover, he does not average 13+ points per game in his career. He has just declined this season. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. In any case, it is four
A former NBA All-Star champion, I have to compete with him in his prime. To be honest, the odds of winning are not great.
and……
There is one thing that Tyson Chandler didn't dare to say, that is, he feels that he has passed his peak state.
At least the DPOY's heroic state last year has never appeared this season.
Chandler's self-feeling is actually correct. If you look at this season's DPOY mock voting list, you will know that he has not even been on the list once. So compared with last season's defensive decline, it is very huge. At least Tang Qian has
You know, in the future, Chandler will not even be eligible for selection. His defensive peak was in the 2011-2012 season.
"I, I will try my best." Tyson Chandler said, but his answer still did not satisfy Anthony. Anthony loudly ordered to the former: "No, it is not my best. You must guard him to death! The best is one point.
I won’t let him get it again, do you understand?”
Don't let anyone score another point? Then even last season, Tyson Chandler didn't have this kind of confidence.
Wasn't Anthony made mad by the No. 29 opposite?
Forget it, I'd better not get in trouble with him!
Just agree and talk about it later!
"Um, okay, okay." Chandler changed his words.
"The Lakers are just the 11th team in the Western Conference. If we lose, how will we lose face?" Anthony gritted his teeth and said: "So, we must win at home tonight! Los Angeles will be cut off from the playoffs.
No fantasy!"
Seeing that Gasol, who had been reluctant to give in this season, suddenly changed his temper and wanted to "confront" himself. "Warcraft" suddenly became angry and said: "I asked you to get out, but you didn't
Do you hear that? Do you want me to scold you?" Howard is so abnormal simply because he feels that Gasol dares to "confront" him. Behind this must be the troublesome guy from the East! Otherwise, he has the same character."
How dare the Spanish bullbug suddenly become so "arrogant"?
No. 24, who was passing by, listened to these words. Kobe couldn't bear it any longer. With a sullen face, he said to Dwight Howard: "Who do you think you are? This game of yours"
How many points did you score? How dare you yell at Paul? If it weren't for the fact that the team lost nearly 20 million on you, I would have let you sit on the bench a long time ago, understand? World of Warcraft?" Kobe and
Howard's conflict in this time and space is obviously more acute and intense than in the previous 2012-2013 season. If the management hadn't been supporting this "stupid monster", Kobe would have been unable to help but ask the management to trade the former.
.
Unfortunately, without the support of old Buss, Kobe's voice in the Lakers has almost been lost.
Jim Buss and his "general manager" Mitch Kupchak now have full control of the Purple and Gold Army and do not allow anyone to interfere or get involved in "government affairs." Although Kobe is angry about this, he still thinks about it.
For Si's sake, he is too lazy to settle the accounts for the time being. His wish is to wait until the end of this season to settle the accounts, but who knows...
The conflict between Howard and Kobe is also one of the main conflicts within the Lakers team, and it is almost semi-public now, so the former no longer pays attention to "surface harmony" and directly says: "Don't tell me what to do."
, are you the one who has the final say about the Lakers now? Your backstage staff are no longer there, they have ascended to heaven, and you are still shitting B.B!" Kobe originally didn't want to cause too much conflict, but Howard said "Old Buss"
Kobe was furious. He stepped forward, picked up the collar of Howard's jersey and said, "Are you looking for death!!! If you can, just say it again???"
Howard wanted to say something, but when he saw the almost violent look in No. 24's eyes, he held back and continued to spray. He just slapped Kobe's hand open and said: "You are already an old man. I
I'm too lazy to argue with you, so let this broken ship of the Lakers become your grave!"
"What's going on? What's wrong with you two?" When the referees saw something was wrong, they immediately ran over and asked. Kobe turned around and left only one word: "Nothing." Howard walked to the other side and said: "I
Who knows, just ask him."
And this photo was one of the photos that appeared quite frequently in newspapers and on the Internet in the future.
It’s called: Parting ways.
After Kobe Bryant hit a three-pointer, the Knicks called a timeout. As soon as Anthony got off the court, he said angrily: "What the hell! What the hell! Can't you guard people? Can you be more serious!!! Can you?"
Can't focus!!! They are just the Lakers!!! They are just the Los Angeles Lakers ranked 11th in the Western Conference!!!" No one, including head coach Mike Woodson, answered because Anthony is in New York and has a strong authority.
Anyone who doesn't like him will basically get out. Even Stoudemire, who returned from injury, was disliked by Anthony due to his drastic decline in form. Thus, just like kicking Jeremy Lin away, this former New Yorker
General, he was kicked out. But there was still someone who dared to speak, and he was the "Old Monster" Jason Kidd.
Kidd was approaching retirement anyway, so he didn't have too many worries. He opened his mouth and said, "Carmelo, you don't have to worry. The balance of victory is clearly on our side." After hearing this, Anthony raised his head and said
He retorted: "It's just a few points ahead, but the trend has passed. Do you think I can't see it?" Kidd frowned. He didn't like Anthony's leadership style very much, but this is his team after all.
He could only continue: "No, Carmelo, the trend has always been on our side."
"Ah? Where is it? Why didn't I see it?" Anthony still spoke in a bad tone, looking at Kidd as if he was going to get angry and hurt someone if the latter didn't give him a satisfactory answer. Yes, Anthony was because of this incident
Ball was once again humiliated by the Lakers No. 29, so it is understandable that he is in a bad mood. However, don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you. This is a classic Chinese saying. The New York man has no contact with it, so he is easily emotional.
.
Treating your teammates like this is actually hurtful.
In fact, it damages the team's cohesion and morale.
Do you think Jordan and Kobe also have this kind of cold leadership style? No, no, no, it’s completely different. Jordan and Kobe lead by example and set the standard themselves. But what about Anthony? He is purely venting! Of course, the most important thing is that he
He doesn't have any impressive league honors, so many players may not necessarily admire him in their hearts.
You, a person who has never even won the best team in your career, dare to put on such a big air?
At best, he is a quasi-superstar. In fact, in the eyes of an "old monster" like Kidd, who is full of honors, Anthony is not even a quasi-star. At most, he is just a super-powerful peak All-star. So, he and himself are like this
Speaking of which, I really don’t understand what “respect and respect” means.
However, Kidd was very good, and he didn't care about it. He just secretly made the decision to retire when his contract ends this season. No matter how the New York management tried to persuade him to stay, he was too lazy to continue to "accompany" this "New York" who couldn't hold up the wall.
"Black Prince", so as not to suffer in vain.
"Here, it's over there." Kidd pointed to the side of the Lakers bench and said.
But Anthony didn't understand the meaning at all, and thought the former was prevaricating and confusing, so he stared and asked: "Jason, can you make it clearer? This is not Dallas or the Nets." That's it.
As Kidd's face gradually darkened, New York coach Mike Woodson suddenly understood and stood up and said: "Carmelo, what Jason said is right~ Jason is right.
~"
"What do you mean?" Anthony turned around and asked in confusion.
Mike Woodson said: "As long as the Lakers still have Dwight Howard on the court, victory will come from our hands and will never go away!"
"Howard? What does this have to do with anything?" Anthony is indeed what "Zen Master" Jackson said. Players without talent cannot understand many things as quickly as role players. Mike Woodson shouted in his heart and said
: No, haven't you heard this yet? I'm trying to save face for you and let you say it yourself.
Seeing that Anthony really didn't think of the idea, Mike Woodson could only sigh secretly and said: "It's a foul tactic! What Jason means is that as long as Howard is still on the court, we can 'cut Huo' and continue to
Expand the lead." "Really?" Anthony was stunned for a moment before saying: "So that's it, why didn't you tell me earlier? If you said no earlier, would you have entered garbage time earlier?"
After Kidd secretly cursed "idiot" in his heart, he said angrily: "If he starts to 'cut Huo' crazily from the beginning, it will definitely arouse secret resistance from the law enforcement referees. If it gets too big, David Stern
You know that, right? In this league, there is nothing he can't do. This method of affecting the enjoyment of the game is fine if used appropriately. If you do it from beginning to end, then I'm sure
, the next games for the Knicks will be very difficult."
"Perhaps, playing a home game is no different than playing an away game."
