There is such a law framed in the Lakers locker room.
A stonemason who is chiseling a stone has struck the same spot on the stone a hundred times, but the stone does not move at all, as if it has not changed at all and is still as solid as it was a hundred times ago. But
When the stonemason swung the one hundred and one stroke, a change occurred. The stone, which had no cracks just now, suddenly cracked and was smashed in half by the stonemason. This is the famous stonemason's law, not this first
The hundred and one blows made the stone break, but the previous blows. The previous one hundred blows had already made the inside of the stone no longer strong. Therefore, the blow that destroyed the stone was not a single one hundred and one blow.
It's the whole process of pounding stones.
This motto hanging in the Lakers locker room is now used by Kobe. How consistent is it? How similar is it?
It was not this breakthrough that seriously injured Kobe, but all the previous losses that completely exploded at this time.
Number 24 is like that stone. At the 101st hour, it can no longer hold up and completely collapses.
Completely disintegrated.
turn out to be.
Nothing...has changed.
Nothing...has changed.
Lakers No. 24, Kobe Bryant, fell heavily to the floor at the same historical node.
Tang Qian's face was the first in the world to turn pale.
Seeing Kobe sitting on the ground, constantly touching his left Achilles tendon with his gloves, Tang Qian was a little confused.
All time seems to have slowed down.
Whether it was the Lakers players surrounding them, the Lakers team doctors running up to them, or the Staples fans who were gradually frightened, in Tang Qian's eyes, everything was slowing down. He didn't know how to express it now.
Mood.
Too many things came at once, causing Lakers No. 29's head to suddenly shut down.
He was the only player on the Lakers who was not surrounded.
But the camera discovered that No. 29 was also the one with the ugliest expression on the Lakers team.
It wasn't until someone called Tang Qian to come back to the bench that Tang Qian took steps in a daze.
This is a process that is difficult to explain clearly. Seeing this scene for the second time, Tang Qian felt a little overwhelmed.
Tang Qian didn't look at this match again afterward, so now, at this moment, it was his second time to witness it.
"Bryant, how are you?"
"Kobe, what does it feel like here?"
"Kobe, can you still feel the movement in your Achilles tendon?"
"Bryant..."
It was like a replay of a super-real video tape, except that Tang Qian went from outside the TV to inside the TV.
It becomes a first-person perspective.
Just like the previous 2012-2013 season, Kobe went to the free throw line alone.
It's like all reincarnations begin from this place.
The first point of his career, the last point of his career, the last point of 81 points, the point that surpassed Jordan in total points, the last point of Achilles tendon rupture...
All major events and major turning points originate from this white horizontal line 4.225 meters away from the basket.
Kobe began to execute the first free throw.
Brush~the ball goes in~
He and Gasol clapped their hands habitually and continued to execute the second penalty.
He seemed to shake his head, seemed to purse his lips, and finally he shot the second shot from the free throw line.
The time was fixed at 3 minutes and 08 seconds. Two seconds later, Gasol and Blake fouled. At 3 minutes and 06 seconds, the Lakers foul took effect and the game re-entered the timeout. At this time, the score was 101-101, and the previous time was 101-101.
There were some differences in the 2012-2013 season, but what remained unchanged was the big results, which still maintained the great inertia of history.
Tang Qian supported Kobe and walked into the players' tunnel.
Unexpectedly, No. 24 spoke first. He said: "China Perm, did you notice something before?"
Tang Qian didn't say anything, but just supported him and continued walking to the players' tunnel.
"I heard Matt say, you know Chinese Kung Fu, right? Is it because of this that you can tell?" Kobe asked again. As a professional athlete who has played basketball all his life, Kobe now knows very well what injuries he suffered.
sick.
Tang Qian remained silent and said nothing.
"Hey, no wonder you kept stopping me from playing just now. I didn't understand at first, but now, I seem to understand." Kobe suddenly paused and asked: "Hey, Feng, do you think we can still do it?"
Make the playoffs?”
"Yes!" Tang Qian answered simply and without hesitation.
"Really? If the team can enter the playoffs this season, then my injury will not be in vain. Otherwise, it would be too much to lose. It's a bit fucked up, isn't it? Hot." Tang Qian fell into silence again, but
He supported Kobe and continued walking into the player tunnel. But at this moment, the whistle sounded to restart the game. Yes, the NBA is a professional league. It is impossible to stop or interrupt a person just because he retires due to injury.
.
It’s impossible for Kobe and it’s impossible for Jordan.
It's like everything is continuing, with no intention of stopping at all.
"Hey, Tong, you just said we can enter the playoffs, right?" Kobe said.
"Well, it must be possible." Tang Qian replied.
"Everyone can say what they say." Kobe said, "You'd better prove it to me with actions."
"What do you mean?" Tang Qian asked.
"Keep playing! Hot!" Kobe said: "Letting that stupid guy Howard go up will only screw up the game. He has no winning spirit at all!" "But you..." Seeing Tang Qian hesitate, Kobe's face flashed.
He said with an angry look: "Stop talking nonsense! Just do it when I tell you to do it! Didn't you just keep saying that our Lakers will win and enter the playoffs? Just go in like this?"
Kobe turned around with difficulty, then pointed at the Lakers basket where the Warriors had missed a three-pointer.
"I...I want to help you." Tang Qian's words did not bring any relief to No. 24. Instead, the latter cursed: "Help you, help! I don't need your help!"
If you really want to help me, turn around immediately and win this damn game for me! Do you understand!!!"
"I……"
"Can you get on?" Kobe said: "I'm not a disabled person, so I don't need others to be like this!!!"
In the blink of an eye, Howard of the Lakers made another mistake. When he turned around, the basketball was quickly cut off by David Lee of the Warriors.
Warriors fast break!
The Lakers were exhausted, just like Kobe Bryant, almost dying.
"Tell me! What did you just say??? Hot!!!" Kobe shouted loudly: "Say!!!"
"explain!!!!!!!!!!"
Tang Qian looked at Kobe's cold and angry eyes, finally came to his senses, nodded and said: "We will definitely enter the playoffs, and we will definitely win."
After hearing this, Kobe immediately said: "Then why are you still standing there! Replace that stupid guy immediately, and then win for me!"
Tang Qian was silent for a second, and then promised in a low voice: "I will do it."
"I will win this game for you!"
Seeing Tang Qian turn and leave his side, Kobe immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Then, like an old man who had been drained of energy, his eyes gradually became hollow, and he slowly walked into the player tunnel step by step.
…
The Lakers took their last timeout.
"What? Let him play at this time? D'Antoni? Did you make a mistake? Now that Kobe is injured and retired, the Lakers need leaders and pillars!" Howard was very dissatisfied with D'Antoni and Kobe's decision and kept saying
He complained loudly. At this moment, Laker No. 29 raised his head, then opened his mouth and said: "Get down."
The voice was not loud, so it sounded very insignificant. Howard was still unwilling to give up and wanted to change Mike D'Antoni's substitution order. Tang Qian could see it. He didn't care at all about Kobe's injury. He didn't care at all.
.
He only cares about his own data.
This kind of teammate... is really worse than a pig or a dog!
Tang Qian's eyes suddenly turned red, and then he roared loudly: "Get off here!!!!!!!!!!!!"
This voice was so loud that the entire Lakers bench area, including the first three rows of fans nearby, could hear clearly. The Lakers bench area was quiet for a few seconds, and then Howard broke out.
Dissatisfied, he shouted: "What are you yelling at? Labor and management are not deaf! You..."
"I! Let! You! Get out! Get off! Come on!" Tang Qian stared at him and said word by word: "No! Listen! You got it!"
"I..." Howard was like a little chicken whose neck was strangled, and he suddenly became silent, because Tang Qian's expression reminded him of the "locker room incident" that day. No, it was even more terrifying than that day.
!
Seeing that Howard stopped complaining, Mike D'Antoni said: "Let's play hard later, not only for yourselves, but also for the Lakers fans, Mr. Buss, and Bryant." Mike
D'Antoni's tone was a little unstable. Because of his injury on the 24th, he seemed to see himself on the day when he was about to be drowned in the fans' saliva and about to be pushed out by the management to take the blame.
The Lakers... should be finished too.
Without the team's only hard-working person and the team's most important leader...can the Lakers still win the remaining two games?
Mike D'Antoni's pessimism has slowly affected the Lakers players. Everyone is full of confusion about the future.
But at the same time as the timeout bell rang, someone from the Lakers took the lead and walked onto the court, saying: "We must win!"
"We will definitely win!!!"
At that moment, the Lakers players looked up, as if the back of No. 29 and the back of No. 24 were vaguely merged into one.
With 2 minutes and 39 seconds left on the clock, the Lakers trailed their opponents by 5 points, 101-106. Taking advantage of the Lakers' morale being in disarray and no one in charge, the Golden State Warriors took the opportunity to counterattack and quickly took the lead again.
The Warriors now look like the game is over, which makes Los Angeles fans feel itchy.
Of course, on the surface, it does seem that the overall situation for the Warriors has been decided.
At this moment, someone started to reach out for the ball.
Tang Qian was also very tired originally, because with his current physical strength, he was not strong enough to fight for too long in the starting strength. But if the rage was added, the situation would be completely different. Tang Qian only felt that his whole body was full of bones and limbs.
, the meridians and blood vessels are filled with restless energy that is neither vomiting nor happy.
The furious state is activated, lasting 8 minutes, and the increase rate is 71%!
Violent energy suddenly surged throughout the body!
There was a faint circle of bright red around the edges of Tang Qian's pupils.
"Now the Lakers are in a desperate situation. Bryant retired from the game with an injury, Gasol was exhausted, and Howard was put on the bench. To be honest, I think D'Antoni was a little motivated by this decision." The Lakers' on-site commentary
Player Stu Lantz said: "Now, of the Lakers' four kings, only one is left who can be used in a big way. He even put him on the bench. Is this to prove his coaching ability?
Wrong decision?" "Well, I also think Coach D'Antoni is a little too ambitious this time. The Lakers currently lack reliable offensive points. Although Dwight is not very efficient in singles this season, he is still the best in the league this season... Well
?Tong starts to ask for the ball in the low post? What is he going to do? Is he going to attack alone?"
"This style of play is too reckless. Needless to say, he is very good on the defensive end, but who doesn't know about his offensive end... oh~ Oops~ Steve Blake still chose to pass the ball! The basketball was passed to No. 29 China
It's hot in your hands!" As soon as Stu Lantz finished speaking, the scene exploded because Tang Qian actually dribbled the ball, turned around, and then... "bang-dang" dunk successfully!
"Good job! Chinese hot! Dunk them! Let these Bay Area guys know how awesome we Los Angeles people are!!!" the Lakers fans in the front row shouted loudly, because too many unpleasant things happened tonight and they needed to vent.
Mouth. And what about No. 29 himself? The same is true for him.
103-106, with 2 minutes and 28 seconds left on the clock, the Lakers were 3 points behind.
"Defend well! How did you let that Easterner score a goal?" Curry said loudly: "He is equal to '0' on the offensive end. Don't be fooled by his defensive ability, Festus!" "Okay, I understand.
Stephen, I will focus!" Warriors No. 5 Festus Ezeli said. Don't blame Curry. They look down on Tang Qian and despise Tang Qian. He is just a 5 who averaged 4+ points per game this season.
The number is not worthy of anyone's attention in the first place.
This is also the rule of the alliance.
Only strong people will pay attention to you, while weak people will have no one to treat you as a dish.
However, Tang Qian is gradually becoming famous on the defensive end, so Curry just said not to be intimidated by his defensive ability.
Without Kobe Bryant, the spiritual core during this period, the morale of the Lakers players was low, so the Warriors quickly made an open mid-range shot. The defensive pressure throughout the process was equal to "air". Just before Darius Mo
Reese was about to run forward when a voice suddenly appeared behind him and said: "Darius, defend well and don't have that passive defensive attitude again!"
Darius Morris turned around and saw No. 29. He could only nod his head and continue running forward.
But he was very unhappy in his heart and said: What are you pulling on! Do you really think you are Kobe and you are Howard? Now that the Lakers are finished, why are you pretending to be so stupid? If it weren't for watching you fight... Humph,
Labor and management are too lazy to argue with you.
This is the consequence of core damage, especially after the mental core is damaged, a strong team can easily collapse, let alone the Los Angeles Lakers, which was already shaky this season? Therefore, when Kobe was injured, all kinds of things became clear.
All kinds of little thoughts arise one after another, and the undercurrent is turbulent.
"Give it to me, Steve!" Tang Qian once again went to the paint area to claim a position. This time, Warriors center Festus Ezeli wanted to win back a victory and regain his face, so he defended him.
He was very positive. But he soon discovered that he couldn't stand up to that Oriental man at all.
No. 29 in front of him was like a huge mountain of rocks. No matter how hard he tried on his back, it remained indifferent.
It has no effect at all.
This is incredible! Why is his center of gravity so stable? Isn’t he only 250+ pounds? Why does he feel like a heavy center with 270+280+ pounds??? Festus Ezeli is so surprised
Of course he has his reasons. Although he is a rookie this year, he has a strong body and weighs more than 260+ pounds when he enters the league. This is already a very good physique for a 23-year-old young man who is less than 7 feet tall.
.Furthermore, he is an NBA rookie who is famous for his defense. During his college days, he was the block leader in the history of Vanderbilt University, so he is far more confident in his defense than his offense.
Moreover, he has never paid attention to the physique and strength of yellow people since he started playing basketball.
That's why he was so surprised when he couldn't exert any effort on the defensive end.
Tang Qian doesn't care about the people behind him. After receiving the pass, the routine is simple, turn around and dunk!
Bang~~~
The Golden State Warriors' basket is blooming again!
105-108, there is still a three-point gap, and there is only 2 minutes and 01 seconds left in the game.
"Well done! Oriental center! Kill these Bay Area guys!!!" Seeing Tang Qian succeed in dunking twice in a row, the Lakers fans in the front row felt very relieved. On the other hand, Curry was not too sure about the Warriors.
Satisfied, he looked at Festus Ezeli who was still surprised and said: "What kind of plane are you doing!!! Ah??? You can't even stand a rookie who averages 4+ points per game???"
Weren’t you the top shot blocker in college??? Is this how you played in college???”
"I, I will definitely work hard next time!" Festus Ezeli said that he was wrong, and Curry is now the boss of the team, so he could only bow his head and say. "This is the best! If you can't guard him again!
You just come off the bench! You're such a rookie!" After Curry said that, he turned around and went to the offensive end.
Although Stephen Curry looks like a "cute kid", in fact, he is not a vegetarian. He has never shown mercy in conflicts and fights. The conflict with Hibbert of the Pacers this season is still vivid in his mind. Not to mention
There will be more conflicts and outbursts in the future. This also illustrates a problem. If you want to be a star in the NBA, no matter your height or size, you must have a temper, otherwise you will not be able to control the situation at all.
The same goes for Curry, and the same goes for Chris Paul.
At this moment, Howard jumped up from the bench and encouraged D'Antoni: "Sir, I think there are only the last two minutes of the game left. Is it time to replace me?"
PS: I had an accident yesterday. Xiaozi's author's backend was stuck. The editor helped to fix it today, so yesterday's outbreak was postponed to today. Thank you everyone. This is the first update. I originally helped Kobe enter the player tunnel.
It was Thackeray, Xiaozi changed it, but Kobe did push the former away and insisted on walking into the locker room alone~
