5X5 data is a representative of all-round data in NBA history. Since the completion of modern data statistics, as of April 11, 2013, there have only been 15 samples, and 8 people have completed them. The most among them is undoubtedly Tang Qian’s challenge tonight.
, "Big Dream" Olajuwon has completed this feat 6 times in his career, which is extremely amazing. This game against the Mavericks on April 11, 1992 was one of his "5X5 games". The most recent one
Who did it? He was Nicholas Batum of the Trail Blazers at the end of last year. His statistics were 11 points, 10 assists, 5 rebounds, 5 steals and 5 blocks. Who was it last time? It was undoubtedly "AK47"
Kirilenko.
Therefore, it is extremely difficult for Tang Qian to complete this record, because his shortcomings are too obvious.
Rebounds and blocks are okay, but scoring? Steals? Assists? If you want to get 5 in these, it's surprisingly difficult.
Otherwise, so far in history, there are only 15 samples, and 8 people have done it?
It is so difficult to become the ninth person.
After losing Nash and Ci Shiping, the Lakers' lineup changed to C Howard, PF Gasol, SF Jamison, SG Kobe, PG Blake. Compared with the luxury at the beginning of the season, the level has dropped sharply. And
What worries Mike D'Antoni the most is that the Lakers don't look like much on the outside, but on the inside they are actually almost collapsed and falling apart, and the atmosphere within the team is extremely chaotic.
In this situation, if you want to win all the remaining 4 games, you can only pray with your hands together.
There are not many tactical arrangements. Without Nash, Mike D'Antoni's system promoter has disappeared. The former is also one of the reasons why D'Antoni dared to join the Lakers midway. Now that Nash is missing, the others cannot afford it at all.
As we all know, what D'Antoni's tactical system needs most is not the No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, or even No. 5. What he needs most is a strong No. 1.
Furthermore, the Lakers have a lot of veterans. At the end of the season, their physical reserves have been exhausted. It is difficult to maintain normal training intensity, let alone extra training.
Especially for consecutive away games, D'Antoni has no choice but to reduce training time as appropriate, or even take a vacation directly.
Under such urgency, you still want to instill a tactical system? That is simply a dream.
Therefore, Mike D'Antoni has nothing to arrange. He can only rely on the players on the court.
I hope they can break out and create miracles.
From Tang Qian's point of view, this situation is even worse than the previous 2012-2013 season. It doesn't matter that there are constant injuries. The internal cracks in the team are far beyond imagination, which is the key. There is a saying in the NBA, no matter how strong the lineup is,
No matter how strong the tactical system is, no matter how strong the head coach is, if the people of the team are not united, they will still be weak and vulnerable. This is a bit extreme, but one thing is true. If the people of the team are not united, it is absolutely impossible.
Win the championship.
Are you talking about the O.K combination? Come on, just read the autobiography of "Zen Master" and you will know that every time at a critical moment, they will abandon their previous differences and join forces with each other. This is the basis for three consecutive championships. Once this is not possible, then even if it is...
The luxury F4 also suffered a complete defeat. It was beaten into disgrace by the grassroots teams, disgraced and disgraced.
What's more, the current Lakers are far more complicated than in the O.K. era. This is not a problem between one or two people, but the entire team. There are many large and small conflicts. Mike D'Antoni also saw this.
I have little confidence in my heart and feel that it will be difficult for the Lakers to create a miracle.
In the first quarter, Howard changed his previous appearance and seemed to be a bit violent. He scored 15 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 blocks in a single quarter. His shooting percentage was also terrifyingly high, exceeding 75%. But the Lakers
The team still lagged behind their opponents. Because the Pacers were stronger and their overall performance was even, they defeated the Lakers 34-32.
Of course, Kobe's cold touch in the first quarter was also part of the problem. He made 0 of 5 shots and didn't score a point, which is really rare.
Playing his second away game the next day, Kobe's old arms and legs obviously still haven't recovered.
Howard asked to continue playing in the second quarter. D'Antoni thought about it for a moment and chose to agree. Because Kobe's touch was not good, he could only rely on the inside to score points. Although Tang Qian was very good defensively, he still struggled with "Warcraft" on the offensive end.
There is a clear gap. Moreover, Howard performed bravely in the first quarter, and there is no reason for him to ignore the team's victory or death.
Howard also performed well in the second quarter. He continued his strong performance in the first quarter, hitting 2+1 consecutively. Although he rarely hit extra penalties, he still did a lot of damage, making it difficult for the Pacers to parry inside. This game
, Howard's performance is not bad. You must know that the Pacers are the second-best defensive team in the league after the Grizzlies this season. They only give up about 90 points per game. They have a balanced defense from inside to outside. Basically, there is no
Loopholes and shortcomings. But Howard still scored 23 points in less than 20 minutes, which made the Pacers a little bit intolerable.
The head coach of the Pacers, Frank Vogel, suddenly ordered the implementation of the "Huo Huo tactic".
As a basketball film editor, Frank Vogel has great control over technical movements and details, and in order for the Pacers to get a better playoff ranking, he must win all subsequent games.
This year is also Frank Vogel's fourth year as NBA head coach. He feels that the team has matured in all aspects, so it is time to go further and prove his coaching ability. Not to mention the championship, the Eastern Conference finals, that is
Frank Vogel’s basic requirements for himself.
He actually sympathizes with the Lakers from the bottom of his heart.
If he were to coach this team, it would at least be at the level of the Western Conference semifinals, because Mike D'Antoni's defensive skills and tactics are not at the same level as his. He is an authentic graduate of the University of Kentucky. Based on his defensive foundation, he is Kentucky.
Basketball motto. But the most important thing is that this Lakers team does not lack offensive ability at all. In the eyes of Frank Vogel, even if they do not deploy any offensive tactics, the Lakers can still average 100+ points per game.
Don't worry. So what they lack most is actually defense, defense, defense.
It's just this word.
It's a pity that the overall talent of the Pacers is too far behind that of the Lakers. Frank Vogel also knows that it will be difficult to win the championship. But no matter what, he has to decide on the Eastern Conference finals! Otherwise, he will not be able to win the championship.
If you are not a professional or a player, and have no outstanding coaching results, you will definitely be eliminated by the NBA quickly!
Not to mention players, for coaches, isn’t the NBA a highly competitive “commercial unit”?
As for whether "cutting sharks" or "cutting Huo" is a bit unkind and unfair, that is not within the scope of Frank Vogel's consideration at all. He is purely a "wild man", and this kind of person,
I never take professional reputation seriously.
If you have an opportunity, you should seize it and approach your set goals step by step. This is Frank Vogel's work motto.
So without further ado, when I saw Howard of the Lakers trying to get up, he immediately gave the order to beat the dog with a stick!
This tactic once again worked wonders, and the Lakers' overall momentum was immediately suppressed until it was extinguished.
The more Howard takes the penalty, the more anxious he becomes, the more he takes the penalty, the angrier he gets, and the more he takes the penalty, the more impetuous he becomes. In this way, it would be weird if he could still score a penalty!
After missing the 6th consecutive free throw, Howard became angry and his movements suddenly became larger. The Indianapolis was also smart and took advantage of the situation. The "Warcraft" inexplicably got into foul trouble again. A simple tactical change allowed the leading team to
The Lakers quickly fell behind and then failed to recover.
Why the league later "banned the tactic of hacking sharks" is actually because of the increasing number of "hacking" behaviors by Howard. The 2012-2013 season is just the beginning. In the end, as long as you can't beat it, you will "hack Howard"
, thereby reversing the trend, seriously affecting the enjoyment of the game. Therefore, the new official took office and was cut off by Adam Silva.
But that was in 2016, so it’s still very early.
No matter how angry Howard was, he could only endure it and hold it in.
After finally missing the 10th free throw, Howard was furious. During a rebound, he completely exploded because of Hibbert's flop. He rushed up and yelled at Hibbert: "You
This coward! What a coward! What a bastard without eggs!"
Hibbert showed his hands to the referee and expressed that he was innocent. The referee immediately blew the whistle and awarded Dwight Howard a technical foul. The Pacers added a free throw. This penalty did not calm Howard's heart.
, but made "Warcraft" even more angry, saying: "You guy! Is there anyone who calls penalties like you? He obviously just flopped and you didn't see it? If you call penalties like you do, the NBA will be over sooner or later! Bastard stuff!!
!”
When the referee heard this, he thought to himself: If you want to finish the game, you must finish it first!
So without saying a word, the "zero tolerance rule" was implemented and the Lakers were given No. 12, the second T of the game.
If you get T twice in one game, the consequence is very simple, you will be kicked out directly.
In such a crucial battle, the Lakers' main center, No. 5 in the league, kicked himself out of the Bankers Life Arena ahead of time.
Mike D'Antoni was stunned, and before he could react, Howard was forcibly ejected by the referee.
D'Antoni couldn't help but come forward and complain. Because the Lakers lacked scoring points in this game, they finally woke up a Howard, but they were so confused that they were "taken" off the court by the referee. How could he not be depressed?
But the referee also had a "bad temper". After seeing D'Antoni's behavior, he turned around and made a big "T" above his head.
Lakers head coach Mike D'Antoni also received a technical foul.
Therefore, in one round, the Los Angeles Lakers took three Ts in a row, which can be said to be a heavy loss.
Moreover, there will be three free throws.
The Pacers' George made a good free throw and made three of three free throws, which directly increased the Pacers' lead to 11 points.
58-47, Indiana Pacers lead Los Angeles Lakers.
Of course, Mike D'Antoni called a timeout.
D'Antoni was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger. Because Howard was directly ejected from the game, he didn't even have the chance to be scolded.
Suddenly, the Lakers' situation suddenly became ugly, and a personnel crisis emerged.
There are no subtle tactics deployed, because the Lakers' current lineup cannot play any subtle tactics. Therefore, the purpose of this timeout is just to let the aging Lakers lineup take a breather.
Tang Qian replaced Howard and played again.
At this moment, there are still 3 minutes and 15 seconds left before the end of the second quarter.
Tang Qian had no grudge against D'Antoni's actions in the second quarter, because from the former's point of view, it is understandable that D'Antoni was just trying to ensure the Lakers' maximum winning rate. And at the most critical moment, the former survived.
He, this is enough to make Tang Qian feel grateful. There are many protagonists who wear the halo of saints. They all claim to repay their kindness and act sanctimoniously. In fact, they can't bear any grievances and frustrations in their hearts. Once something goes wrong, they have to vent.
Forget all the good things a person has.
It is also called euphemistically: follow your heart and your original intention.
Tang Qian has never seen this kind of protagonist in novels. Besides, D'Antoni's starting point is for the Lakers and not himself. This is enough for Tang Qian to understand and consider.
Seeing that Tang Qian didn't mind at all, D'Antoni nodded inwardly again, feeling that he was not supporting the wrong person.
He decided to have a talk with Tang Qian after this consecutive away trip to express his appreciation and apology.
The Pacers are much more difficult to deal with than the Knicks the day before yesterday. They have formed an overall strength this season.
And the scoring points are scattered, so you can't hit the target to kill.
In the playoffs this season, they were able to defeat the New York Knicks and fight the Miami Heat in 7 games. Their strength cannot be underestimated. So as soon as Tang Qian came on the court, he was on full alert, preparing to deal with the powerful Pacers.
"Boy Dongfang, I heard that you are crazy. You are the best shot blocker in NBA history? You really dare to say that!" Roy Hibbert started arguing with Tang Qian. Upon hearing this, Tang Qian blurted out and replied: "You are not crazy?"
Kuang, don’t you know if you try it yourself?”
"I'm just afraid that some people won't dare."
"I don't dare?" Hibbert laughed and said, "I'm one of the top five centers in the league."
Tang Qian looked up at the other party and said: "I heard that you have a nickname called 'Black Yao Ming', right? Top five in the league? Is this your goal?" Tang Qian said: "Is there anything to be happy about? You know
Yao Ming was the No. 1 center back then, and he beat Howard every time, so you can't afford this nickname."
"Whether you can afford it or not is not something you can say with your words. You are a substitute who averages less than 5 points per game!"
"Don't worry." Tang Qian said: "You can't get 5 points in front of me. Really, you can give it a try."
Jamison's shot was short and the Pacers attacked.
"Give me the ball, George." Hibbert got inside and reached for the lane.
George Hill passed the ball and the basketball lobbed into Hibbert's hands.
"Little Dongfang, wait and see, let's see how I defeat you!" After Hibbert said that, he moved his steps and wanted to hit Tang Qian in the low post. But... the result was quite miserable, because both in terms of flexibility and athletic ability
, he was completely blasted by Tang Qian, so there is no doubt that Tang Qian covered the ball with a big fire pot.
"Your low-post singles ability is not good, at least you can't break through my defense." Tang Qian said before landing. Then when Hibbert came to his senses, the former had already galloped into the frontcourt and joined the team.
Off to attack quickly.
Kobe took a mid-range shot, swiped~, and finally hit! His shooting percentage in the first quarter was really miserable.
58-49.
In the second round, Hibbert didn't believe in evil and once again used his poor low-post singles skills to attack Tang Qian. Although he didn't get hit, the "bang" sound said everything. Gasol protected him
After a rebound in the backcourt, the Lakers continued to attack. Blake wanted to make an alley-oop with Tang Qian, but... the basketball flew directly out of the baseline.
After Tang Qian saw the ball, he shook his head repeatedly, because the quality of the pass was really poor, and the intention was obvious. Before it was passed, it was strongly interfered by the opponent. The Lakers were recorded as a direct turnover.
For the third ball, Hibbert wanted to continue to get the ball, but the Pacers chose to hand it to the "post-90s" Lance Stephenson. Lance Stephenson is a player with a strong street ball mark.
His playing style is very eye-catching, but he also has a bad habit of holding the ball too much, being too cool, and then getting himself into trouble.
Furthermore, this guy's outside basket is extremely inaccurate. He has never been a reliable outside fortress. Even if he is open, his shooting percentage is worrying. He does not have the ability to shoot long-range three-pointers on the move.
So Tang Qian was right, he would come in and take action.
Sure enough, Steve Blake defended very hard, but he was still broken through by the young Stephenson. Then this guy, without passing the ball, rushed into the Lakers' interior with the ball, trying to "go straight to the Yellow Dragon." This
It is a typical BR attack mode on the streets of New York. It is very gorgeous and eye-catching.
However, Tang Qian looked at this guy's movements with a calm expression and allowed his opponent to fight over him.
Look how handsome I am!
Just as he finished thinking about it, a heavy slap knocked his ball away, and the Lakers used this to launch a defensive counterattack.
Damn it! He was actually blocked! Stephenson was a little annoyed, turned around and started to catch up. Not to mention, the defensive counterattack that the Lakers finally launched was just suppressed by the Pacers. This season
The second strongest defensive team in the league is definitely not some fake team. This time, a simple quick return to defense revealed a huge gap with the Lakers.
If the Lakers can have this kind of defense this season, hey, even if they have no tactics on the offensive end, they will be guaranteed a spot in the Western Conference Finals.
It's a pity that Mike D'Antoni can only be greedy.
He has never been a defensive coach. If he wants to reach this level, unless he goes back to his mother's womb and reinvents himself, it will be almost the same.
The Pacers' style of play this season is actually a retro style of play, which is completely contrary to the league's small ball trend. They are following the style of the 1990s. Be tough, fight more, and then slowly kill you head-on with one knife and one shot.
.
Frank Vogel's success is no accident. He chose such a seemingly "contrary" method to build the team, but unexpectedly achieved great success. At least in the NBA coaching world, he has made a name for himself.
With no choice, Steve Blake transferred the basketball to Kobe Bryant on the wing, then stood aside, ready to watch the show.
This is the overall microcosm of the Lakers this season. In addition to the presence of Nash, he can temporarily mobilize the offensive energy of the entire team. The rest of the time, they are either playing in singles or in singles. Role players, like puppets, watch the whole show and have a sense of participation.
Extremely low. Of course, this also has a lot to do with the Lakers' coaching change midway through this season. Before the last Brown system was digested, another D'Antoni system came, leaving the Lakers players basically in chaos and unable to find a good one.
system operation.
Star players don’t have to rely much on the system, but what about role players?
Without a mature and stable team system, the only thing left to do is to make a fool of yourself.
Kobe passed the ball to Gasol, and Gasol took a shot, but was interfered by Hibbert and could not put it into the Walker's basket.
Regardless of Hibbert's rapid demise later on, in fact, in the past few seasons, he is still very strong and can bear the title of "defensive core". The Pacers can be inextricable from the Heat in the playoffs.
He was very helpful.
On the offensive end, Lance Stephenson once again tried an inside layup, but unfortunately was blocked by Lakers No. 29.
Now Tang Qian already has 8 defensive crystal tiles and 8 shot-blocking crystal tiles. If you want to stand up to him, you don't have to average 20+ points per game. Basically, don't want to retire. Especially Lance.
Players like Stephenson who don't have an outside basket are Tang Qian's favorite. I wish he could break through a hundred times in a game.
You only average 8.8 points per game, but you dare to do it in front of me? You are so brave!
Damn it! Got blocked again! This damn Oriental guy!!!
Seeing the look in Lance Stephenson's eyes, Tang Qian couldn't help but said: "Are you not convinced? Then you are welcome to come again. My palms never care about how much they cover." "You...what are you so proud of? I will let you."
You know how powerful he is!" This guy is from a standard New York street black background, so his words are very tough and not subtle at all.
"Okay~ I like a tough style, but if you want to attack the inside, you have to work harder." Tang Qian nodded.
This sentence is true. He likes tough players. If you soften after a few attempts, it will only make Tang Qian look down on you.
The second quarter came to an end in this environment. Except for Paul George's 15-foot mid-range shot, the Pacers did not score any points. However, the Lakers' scoring situation was not good either.
Only scored 3 points.
60-52, trailing by eight points and entering the second half.
Tang Qian played three minutes and fifteen seconds in the second quarter and had 4 blocks and 3 rebounds.
But this game was more difficult than Tang Qian imagined. In the third quarter, the two sides entered into a hand-to-hand battle from the beginning.
In 5 minutes, the Lakers only scored 4 points. What about the Pacers? It was even worse, with only 2 points.
62-56, the game entered the official timeout.
Tired, this is the overall feeling of the Lakers bench area. One day of recovery period is not enough for these older players to fully resurrect. Especially on consecutive away trips, the rest on the plane is not very comfortable. Needless to say, Kobe,
The day before yesterday, he only had 1 minute and 29 seconds of rest in the game against the Knicks. This was too heavy a load for a 35-year-old body that is still 4 months old. Gasol also played 38+ minutes the day before yesterday, and now he is playing with the Pacers.
The team continued to fight, and began to gasp for breath in the third quarter. Jamison's condition was not much better. After Ci Shiping was injured, he was forced to be promoted from the bench to the starting lineup, and his playing time was greatly increased.
The intensity of confrontation and competition have also surged. For him who has not played in the starting lineup for a whole year, he is still in the adaptation period. And don't forget that he is more than 2 years older than Kobe, and there are still 2 months left.
He is about to turn 37. Including starting point guard Steve Blake, who is already a 33-year-old veteran. If the Lakers get rid of Tang Qian, the average age of the starting lineup will be close to 34.5 years old. What is this concept? Anyone
The starting lineup of this team is more than 4 years younger than the Lakers.
34.5 years old, which to ordinary people is still in the prime of life, but in the NBA, he is already a complete senior citizen.
There are not many stars who are still active over the age of 35, let alone ordinary players.
In addition, the Lakers had too many injured players and no one could replace them, so the physical crisis was immediately highlighted.
What about the opposing Pacers? There are two of them born in the 1990s, and the oldest, David West, is less than 32 years old. The average starting age is only about 26.4 years old. To fight against them, the Lakers
Old Bones was undoubtedly standing downwind.
Mike D'Antoni is at his wits end.
Physical crisis, lack of personnel crisis, these are all flaws, and they are not something he can forcefully change.
