There are bugs on the face? Fight bugs? Do you think this is the wilderness? Besides, it takes so much force to hit bugs? Half of my face turns red? Do you...think I'm an idiot?
The referee is also a serious person, so he stared at Howard and Tang Qian and said: "You'd better tell the truth. Do you think I will believe this bullshit excuse?" Tang Qian just shrugged and said: "We are telling the truth.
Ah, is it Dwight?"
Under the pressure of Tang Qian's force, Howard could only nod along with "humiliation".
"Look, Mr. Referee, I didn't lie to you, did I?" Tang Qian said: "It's really just helping to fight bugs. This is the mutual friendship between teammates. You can't interfere in this, right?" "What about just now?
What's going on with the screams? Don't tell me that you're also 'fighting bugs'!" The referee was obviously not someone to be fooled easily, so he found another way to break through.
I thought this would make Lakers No. 29 speechless, or at least panic for a while, but unexpectedly, the former just started talking nonsense and said: "Referee, that's massage, you know massage, right? That's how it works.
If it's not painful or itchy, it won't have the effect. We do this all the time. If you don't believe me, just ask him." As soon as these words came out, the entire Lakers team looked at Tang Qian with a vague change in their eyes.
Damn, this Eastern guy is so easy to talk nonsense, right?
It started with killing bugs, and now it has turned into massage. This No. 29 is really... so sinister!
Be more careful in the future to avoid being tricked by him!
"Massage? Do you know how to massage?" Of course the referee knew about this thing, but he didn't quite believe that Tang Qian knew it. Tang Qian said with a smile: "There are not many of us Chinese who can't do it, sir, it's just a very common thing."
Tang Qian spoke naturally and fluently, as if such a thing was really happening. Anyway, Americans have a blind eye on the other side of the ocean, and it is impossible to go to China to verify it in person, so Tang Qian is not afraid of being exposed no matter what he says.
.
"This...Dwight, was he really giving you a massage just now?" The referee looked at No. 29's calm and calm expression and was a little unsure, so he simply asked the person involved directly. He didn't believe a person.
After being beaten, he will still speak up for the person who beat him. Therefore, Howard's words will be the "ultimate argument."
But Howard said this: "Yes, Mr. Referee, just now, just now, the iron was indeed massaged on me."
When he said this, Howard's heart was bleeding. After being beaten, he still had to speak up for the "murderer" who beat him. Who wouldn't be depressed about this kind of thing? But...
"Really?" Seeing that Howard had said that, what else could he say? He could only open his mouth and confirm again.
"Yes, it's true, sir." Howard gritted his teeth inwardly.
The referee was also confused, because this kind of thing happened for the first time in his law enforcement career, but no matter how you look at it, it's a bit too weird, isn't it? Hitting an insect so hard? Is massaging the same as killing a pig? Is it really like this?
Thing?
"Well, well, since that's the case, you should be careful and don't make too much noise, which can easily cause misunderstanding." After the three referees finished speaking, they looked at Howard several times in confusion, then turned around and walked away. Only Howard was the one.
I almost felt like a riot!
Because he clearly saw the last look in the eyes of the referees as if to say:
Hey, wasn't this guy stupid after being slapped? He actually talked to the person who hit him? Is there something wrong with his head?
Well, I guess it's a bit. Looking at his appearance, his muscles must have grown into his brain.
Oh, that's so pitiful.
Fuc.k!!!Fuc.k!!!Fuc.k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn you Oriental guy!!! You actually bully people like this!!! I must kick you out!!! I must let your reputation be ruined!!!
"Okay, stop looking. The referee has walked away. It's too late to regret." Tang Qian said to Howard in a slightly mocking tone: "Remember what you said today, otherwise the next time you 'fight bugs', you will be wrong."
It's not so gentle anymore, do you understand?" Howard saw that Tang Qian was still squeezing his hand, so he could only "sit down and endure hardship" for the time being.
Already."
"Well, okay." After getting the answer, Tang Qian nodded with satisfaction, then as if he remembered something, he added to Dwight Howard, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you.
Now, let Gary Vitti take you to the locker room to check it carefully, otherwise if you have any minor problems, don’t blame me."
After Tang Qian let go, Howard felt that his right hand seemed... to have lost consciousness.
Completely numb!!!
Damn it!!! Labor is the number one center in the league!!! Labor is in a contract year this year!!! If he suffers a serious injury that affects his career, wouldn’t it be bad luck!!! Thinking of this
Howard didn't even care about Tang Qian's eyes. He turned around and went straight to the end of the bench, where the Lakers team's medical team was sitting. At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Gary, Gary, check me quickly. I seem to have no feeling in my hands."
!!!”
After Howard hurriedly went to the end of the bench, Mike D'Antoni suddenly stood behind Tang Qian and said: "Hot, it's not very wise for you to do this, because now Howard is still the 'future favorite' above. Wait
At the end of the regular season, no matter whether the result is good or bad, the management will definitely kill you in order to appease Howard. At that time, the situation may not be good."
When Tang Qian saw it was D'Antoni, he replied calmly: "That is a matter for the management. As a player, I just have to do my best on the basketball court. I don't want to think too much about the rest, and I am too lazy to think about it."
After hearing Tang Qian's answer, Anthony nodded, then lowered his voice and said at a volume that only the two of them could hear: "Don't worry, I will speak for you. If I were still the head coach of the Lakers at that time,
.”
Hearing this, Tang Qian showed a slight smile and said: "Don't worry, Mr. D'Antoni, you must still be the head coach of the Lakers at that time. I have confidence in you." D'Antoni also smiled, and then
Said: "Then can you handle this game? If I can't make it to the playoffs, the management will definitely not let me go. Over the years, the NBA has a tradition of coaches taking the blame."
"Remember what I told you in the last game?" Tang Qian said before coming on the court: "I will not let the Lakers be eliminated. Likewise, I will not let you be eliminated." These words Mike
This is not the first time D'Antoni has heard it, but every time, it makes him feel warm and comfortable.
…
Howard temporarily took a rest due to "discomfort", and the Lakers replaced center No. 29 Tang Qian.
With 1 minute and 20 seconds left in the first quarter, the Lakers came on the court again.
Faced with the sluggish team morale, Tang Qian was extremely confident and said: "Paul, before the end of the first quarter, we have to force the main force of the Houstonians to come back on stage! Okay?" Gasol heard this and was stunned and said: "
"Hot, I guess they won't be the main force again in this quarter, or even in the whole game. After all, they are already 26 points ahead, almost entering..." The word "garbage time" has not been said yet.
When he came out, he heard No. 29 of the Lakers intercepting him and saying: "No, Paul, it won't enter garbage time, because the game has just begun."
Tang Qian showed Gasol's incomprehensible smile and said, "Believe me, their main force will be back soon."
Originally, without Kobe, Nash, Ci Shiping, Howard and Gasol should have taken the lead. Unfortunately, one of them was "absent-minded" and had no interest in the future of the Lakers. The other wanted to contribute, but had no mental and leadership skills.
Talent is inherently flawed. This allowed the Lakers' No. 29 to temporarily take over and become the temporary spiritual supporter of the Lakers.
The current lineup of the Rockets is: PG Patrick Beverley, SG Carlos Delfino, SF Francisco Garcia, PF Terrence Jones, C Chandler Parsons. Except for one Parsons, almost
It is an all-substitute lineup, and Parsons is asked to play the 5th position, obviously to strengthen the firepower and grab points. Whether it is Terrence Jones or Chandler Parsons in the inside, they are both rebounding and defense.
An unreliable person, with such a defensive lineup, Tang Qian would be embarrassed not to show his fangs.
"How will the Lakers attack?" Bill McDonald said: "Should we continue to bet on the shooting percentage of the three-point shot, or should we let Paul inside handle it in the low post? Jamison received the ball from the top of the arc. Judging from his movements, it should be
I have to take a shot directly, but the space for this ball is not good. Rockets defender Francisco Garcia has already followed me. If I force the shot..."
Since Jamison lost the athletic ability of his youth, he has played more and more outside. Although Francisco is 31 years old this year, it is not difficult to keep up with Jamison, who is close to 37 years old. The most important thing is that Jamison
His personal ability has also declined significantly this season. He is okay in the open position, but his hit rate on top-up shots is far lower than before. If it were in his peak period, it would be a matter of minutes to defeat a Garcia. He has many career goals.
He averaged 20+ points per game this season, which is definitely not a boast.
It's a pity that time makes people grow old, and he is already a little too old, so it becomes more and more difficult to eat Francisco Garcia, who is nearly 6 years younger. Besides, even though Garcia is not as tall as Jamison and does not weigh enough, he
His wingspan and determination to mark people are not bad at all. His wingspan exceeds 210cm, which makes him enough on the defensive end to contain Jamison, who is 2cm taller than him. However, the most important thing is the decline in athletic ability and physical fitness, which makes Jamison lose
The scenery of the past.
Just when Jamison was about to take action, Tang Qian stood on the inside and shouted: "Pass~ Pass the ball~"
Jamison didn't take it seriously, and shot anyway. The basketball drew an imperfect arc, and then hit the front of the Rockets' basket hard. "Oh~no~ it didn't hit, Jamison."
The three-point shot failed. We must retreat as soon as possible. The Rockets' lineup has a good transition ability, but... Feng grabbed the rebound! Feng squeezed Parsons and grabbed the offensive rebound! Feng did not pass the ball.
, he took off directly...a beautiful dunk under the basket!!!" With Bill McDonald's shouts, Tang Qian scored the Lakers' 20th point goal.
20-44, 24 points behind the opponent.
This scene is not too surprising, because Tang Qian was originally second in the rebounding list this season and was very strong. Parsons, who forced himself to the 5th position, only averaged 5+ rebounds per game. He was occasionally beaten by the former.
Getting an offensive rebound is not news. Just do a better job of blocking the defense in the next round.
Rockets head coach Kevin McHale thinks so.
He didn't expect that the substitute interior combination of Parsons + Terrence Jones could produce any sparks. The core of this lineup is not defense, but offense. It only requires maximum points. Strive for it.
Breaking 50+ points in a single quarter caused the Lakers to completely collapse and their morale was cleared.
There is no problem with this plan. After all, as far as the substitute lineup is concerned, all 5 people on the field average more than 5+ points per game, two of them score more than 10+, and one has 15+. The firepower is excellent at the substitute level. And
Most of them have the ability to shoot 3-pointers, which makes it more difficult for the Lakers to defend, and the space is obviously opened up.
Therefore, in Kevin McHale's view, relying on offense to support defense is enough to sustain the Los Angeles Lakers until they collectively lose their fighting spirit.
I thought this game would be a fierce battle between dragons and tigers, but it seems that I thought too much. After losing the absolute core Kobe Bryant, the Lakers' overall desire to win is not as good as before.
Okay, let's take advantage of this breath and make a good start for the playoffs.
Kevin McHale thought in his mind.
The Rockets really did their best, and Parsons hit a three-pointer from the outside, giving the Lakers a strong response.
After scoring the goal, Parsons nodded exaggeratedly, feeling like "Why am I so stupid?"
20-47, the Rockets' lead was even greater.
Seeing this, the Lakers' morale became even lower.
The Lakers attacked, and it was Jamison again. He seemed to have lost his temper with Francisco, so he took another shot from outside the three-point line.
Completely ignoring Tang Qian's position inside and asking for the ball.
Shi.t! Tang Qian cursed secretly in his mind. Because of the reason for asking for the ball just now, the offense and defense changed, so he was blocked by Parsons. However, Tang Qian did not hesitate and used his strength to defeat the cleverness.
, forcibly rushed away from Parsons' blocker, and then succeeded in grabbing the rebound. This made Chandler Parsons look in disbelief.
After all, I have a body of 230+ pounds. Even if my strength is not as strong as my opponent, I won't be torn out of position instantly.
And it is clear that Lakers No. 29 just didn’t even perform any technical moves to reverse the jam, just like this... well, he easily ran over himself? How is this possible?
After Tang Qian held the ball, he didn't hesitate and dunked on the spot!
With a "bang" sound, the Rockets' basket was ravaged for the second time!
22-47.
"Chandler, stay in position, otherwise I won't be able to grab rebounds. That Eastern guy has a very strong rebounding ability." Terrence Jones, who is also an insider, reminded him, but he didn't know that everything had just begun.
The Rockets took a three-pointer from the bottom corner, and when~, it came out.
This is the problem of long-range shooting. Generally speaking, in official games, a shooting percentage of 35% is considered a passing mark, and it usually fluctuates around this value. For example, the Rockets’ average three-point shooting percentage this season is 36%, which is considered passing.
The standard is up. This is especially true for the substitutes. Their stability is far inferior to that of the starting players. So this gives the Lakers a good opportunity to narrow the score difference. Tang Qian forced the position to protect the defensive rebound.
, and then passed it to Steve Blake to dribble through the half court.
When the basketball came to Antoine Jamison's hands, he actually wanted to take another three-point shot! This made Tang Qian a little angry, and he immediately let go of his throat and shouted: "Stop shooting blindly, pass the ball to me!"
!!" Hearing the voice of Lakers No. 29, Jamison froze a little, whether it was a shot or a pass.
Tang Qian knew that Jamison must have been provoked by Francisco Garcia, so he gradually lost his calm. But now that the situation was critical, how could there be time for Jamison to act randomly? Tang Qian stuck his position and shouted again: "
Pass the ball! Pass the ball now!"
It’s not that Tang Qian didn’t know how to talk like this, it was a bit disrespectful to Jamison, but just now he tried to talk nicely, but what did the latter do? He didn’t take it seriously at all, and he didn’t take it to heart at all. Now he is behind by the score difference.
So many, every offensive opportunity is crucial, Tang Qian can only ignore the latter for the time being and forcefully ask for the ball.
Sure enough, under this situation, Jamison passed the ball reluctantly, but his face clearly didn't look good.
Forget it on the defensive end, you No. 29 are great, and I can tolerate bossing me around, but on the offensive end, why do you yell and give orders like this? Gasol hasn't spoken yet, but you are gasping for air? You really
Do you think you are Kobe Bryant?
Jamison has been in the league for a long time, so it is normal for him to have an "old ball skin" temper. But immediately, he was shocked. Because the Lakers' No. 29 forcibly pushed away Parsons behind him.
, dunked into the basket with both hands again.
Looking at the referee's gesture, it also created an additional opportunity for a defensive foul and a defensive penalty.
Tang Qianqian took a few deep breaths at the free throw line, and then took the shot seriously. After rolling on the rim for 2 times, the basketball finally fell into the Rockets' net bag. 2+1 successful! 25-47, Lakers timeout
After coming on the court, Tang Qian took all 7-pointers! And his shooting percentage was 100%.
"Chandler, aren't you? You can't stop that Oriental guy at all?" Terrence Jones said again, which a little annoyed Parsons, who blurted out: "Can you prevent him?"
If you can, just go and defend, I'll defend Gasol!" "Okay, just make a substitution." Terrence Jones and Parsons are actually players in the same position, so there is a gap between them.
There is a certain competitive relationship. Parsons is a second-year student, and now averages 15+5+3+1 per game, which is considered to be the main force. Terrence Jones is a first-year student, graduated from the prestigious University of Kentucky.
Before joining the NBA last year, he had just won the national championship in the NCAA tournament. His popularity and high draft ranking were not comparable to that of Parsons.
Therefore, in the eyes of Terrence Jones, the opponent only entered the league a year earlier than him, and sooner or later he will have to make way for him and become a bench substitute. Based on this mentality, he has been treating Parsons in the team's daily training.
Maintaining hostility and not much respect. Parsons naturally felt this, so he still had a normal attitude towards the former without much smile.
Competitive relationships, especially competition for the same position, are the most tense and most likely to deteriorate in the NBA.
Terrence Jones wanted to perform well in front of the head coach and let McHale know that he could guard people who Parsons couldn't guard. What about Chandler? His idea was to get out of the way.
It would be best to avoid the head-on attack and defense with Lakers No. 29 and at the same time cheat Terrence Jones.
Beverley of the Rockets passed the ball to the basket, Terrence Jones cut and ran, then rushed out from the weak side and made a layup.
Cutting, running, and slipping through the weak side were Terrence Jones's specialty in college, and he also brought this skill set into the NBA.
OK, score!
As a rookie, the most important thing is not the record, salary, or team status, but performance. The better, more eye-catching and eye-catching the performance, the better. As long as you perform well, everything will come naturally.
Obtained. Coming from the famous basketball school University of Kentucky, Terrence Jones understood this truth during his college days.
As long as the offense scores one and the defense defends another, it will definitely leave an impression in the head coach's mind.
But the idea is always beautiful, but the reality is a bit cruel. A big yellow palm severely stopped the basketball just as it was about to enter the basket. The Lakers launched a defensive counterattack.
Damn it, I was covered up! This Oriental! He ruined my good deeds!
However, the Lakers' defensive counterattack failed. The Rockets used their youth and vitality to quickly return to defense, killing the Lakers' fast break points. Helpless, Steve Blake could only switch from mobile warfare to positional warfare.
.
"Give me the ball, Steve."
"Give me the ball, Steve."
Two shouts came from the outside and inside at the same time. When Steve Blake saw it, he was immediately troubled.
Because it was Tang Qian and Antoine Jamieson who asked him for the ball together.
Pass to whom? Just when Steve Blake hesitated, a loud shout suddenly came from the inside: "What are you still hesitating about? The attack time is coming soon! Steve! Give me the basketball!"
Seeing what No. 29 said, Blake could only pass the ball and temporarily "leave" Jamison open.
Damn it, you didn’t pass it to me but to him? Who is the sixth man on the team?
Because Jamison came to the Lakers, the management gave him a tactical position as the sixth man, which could improve the firepower and stability of the Lakers' bench. But as the season progressed, he slowly discovered that his status in the team
It is gradually losing. The reason is that an Eastern center suddenly woke up from the bench!
It's not that Jamison particularly hated Tang Qian from the beginning, but when his own vital interests were involved, he could no longer look at the problem with an objective and rational attitude. He was always unhappy when his team status was taken away.
So enjoyable, isn't it?
But soon, Jamison gave up the idea of having a rift with Tang Qian, because the latter played so overbearingly on the next ball that when he thought about it, his whole body trembled. What ball was so scary?
"Young Oriental guy, you can't make this shot. I'm not like Chandler Parsons!" After seeing the Lakers holding the ball on No. 29, Terrence Jones started to defend. Tang Qian heard this.
, smiled sarcastically and said: "Is there any difference between you and him?"
"But one thing, you are right." Tang Qian turned his back and easily pushed away Terrence Jones. Then he took off vigorously and tried to bomb the basket. "Don't even think about it!"
Lens Jones is 2cm shorter than Parsons, but his weight and wingspan are much greater than the latter. In addition, he prides himself on his excellent defense. He averages less than 15 minutes per game this season and can win the game.
To the data of 1+ blocks. The only four players from the University of Kentucky who have scored 1,000 points, 500 rebounds and 140 blocks, Terrence Jones has certain strength and confidence.
But now, it's useless.
You want to compete with Captain America in terms of strength? What is that if not a dream?
Tang Qian didn't even look at his opponent before forcefully hitting the Rockets' basket.
"You are too arrogant! Oriental guy! I..." Before he could finish his words, a huge force hit him, and then completely overturned him.
boom!!!
Tang Qian succeeded in dunking from behind!!!
Staples Center received a large amount of applause for the first time since the game started.
"Dunk on another man!!! From No. 29, Tang!!!"
Bill MacDonald's voice shouted with passion.
"I'm not going to put it in, I'm just thinking about dunking it in."
Tang Qian hung on the basket, bowed his head and said to Terrence Jones who fell to the ground.
