Chapter 549 I only think about dunking the big chapter~
As the Rockets threw a backcourt shot directly from the backcourt, the first quarter ended.
27-47, Tang Qian took over all the Lakers' points starting from 1:20 of the first quarter.
Shooting percentage: 100%! Free throw percentage: 50% on 1 out of 2 free throws!
However, they are still 20 points behind the Rockets.
Tang Qian calculated the time and decided that the battle must be resolved as soon as possible in the second quarter, otherwise he would not be able to reverse the situation once the golden power amplifying card expired. Time, the most precious thing now is time!
"Steve, try to pass the ball to me later. The Rockets' substitute insider is vulnerable." In order to ensure the maximum offensive success rate, Tang Qian made a rare request to the Lakers' No. 1 position. Steve
Blake was a little stunned, but when he saw that Mike D'Antoni didn't say anything, and he scored 9 points efficiently in 1 minute and 20 seconds on the 29th, he chose to nod.
Gasol was initially a little bit dissatisfied when he saw that Tang Qian was trying to dominate the low post, but the latter turned around and calmed him down with one sentence, saying: "Paul, let me hit a few more while I'm in good shape. You
Try to conserve your energy as much as possible, wait until the second half to use your strength again, and defeat the Houstonians in one fell swoop!" After Gasol heard this, his grudge immediately disappeared, and he nodded and said, "Okay, I will conserve my energy first."
Playing in the second quarter, Tang Qian continued his competitive state in the last 1 minute and 20 seconds of the first quarter, frantically chopping melons and vegetables, completely destroying the Rockets' inside line. Terrence Jones suffered a worse end than Parsons.
Tragically, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop Zijin No. 29's every move and every turn, and the harder he pounced, the harder the latter would hit the basket!
He was dunked twice in a row. The second time, the collision was too strong. Rockets No. 6 was ejected from mid-air and hit the base of the basket behind him hard before stopping. Although 2 Tang Qian
It was still 1 of 2 free throws, but the blow to rookie Terrence Jones was not as big as usual. He suddenly felt like a grass on the roadside, unable to block the running tiger at all.
From the beginning to the end, Lakers No. 29 didn’t even look at him. He just got stuck in the low post, then turned around in the low post, and then took off and dunked in the low post. When Terrence Jones committed his third consecutive defensive foul, his goal tonight was
His mentality collapsed. During the offense, a "butter hand" actually came and made a direct ball error, giving the offensive power to the opposite Los Angeles Lakers again.
"Thank you, man." Tang Qian ran to the front court and said "thank you" slightly to Rockets No. 6, which made the latter's expression even more depressed and darker. For the next ball, the Lakers still held No. 29
The ball was attacked in the low post. This time McHale finally stood up and loudly commanded from the sidelines: "Go and double-team him, double-team him!"
Previously, Kevin McHale wanted to learn from the "famous coaches" to be calm, not panic when things happen, and let the players face problems and solve problems by themselves. But when the Lakers continued to narrow the score difference, he became a little restless.
Can't stand it any longer.
After all, he is just a qualified NBA head coach. Compared to his legendary playing career, his coaching career is not outstanding and he does not have any special talents. Being a transitional coach is okay. I really want him.
It is definitely a dream to achieve any good results. I dare not say it in the future. At least in the past few years, his coaching ability has been fixed. It is impossible for Morey to continue to hire him after he got "Warcraft" in the later period.
I wonder if there is something wrong with my brain.
If you let McHale be the head coach of two superstars or near-superstars, he can only lower the average level of the team.
Because his coaching ability is there, without qualitative changes or breakthroughs, he is just a qualified head coach. The gap between him and first-class coaches, championship coaches, and famous coaches is not ordinary. And this ball is a typical example. If
If you are a first-class head coach, you will definitely choose to call a timeout instead of standing up and giving orders.
Kevin McHale failed to see that the Lakers' No. 29 could no longer be restrained by the current substitute lineup. The result of not suspending timeouts would be to continue to give away points and continue to weaken the confidence and morale of the players on the court.
Sure enough, even when facing two double-teams, Lakers No. 29 still ran in violently like the Raptors crossing the river, and then took off and hit the basket. Even if Parsons almost hung on him, it was of no use.
With a "bang" sound, the Rockets' ball circle was almost torn off by Tang Qian.
The goal counts, plus one penalty goal!
This was the final penalty, leaving all five Rockets players on the court stunned.
Tang Qian glanced at the time and thought to himself: Why don't you switch to the main lineup? If you don't switch to the main lineup, I will overturn the score in one breath!
Brushing~Additional free throw hit~Tang Qian's free throw shooting percentage tonight can't be said to be very good, but it definitely can't be said to be bad.
According to his own opinion, he is basically satisfied.
37-47, the Rockets were beaten, Kevin McHale finally called a timeout, and both sides took a break.
In the T.N.T live broadcast room, Charles Barkley was shouting excitedly: "Did you see it? Did you see it? Kenny! This kid's style of play is absolutely violent! This is my favorite way to watch the inside attack. He is today
We played so hard that night!" Kenny Smith could only nod and said: "Yes, Charles, he scored 19 points in 5 minutes and 57 seconds. If you don't look at the free throws, his shooting percentage was 100%! It's amazing!
I haven’t missed even one shot yet! That’s kind of amazing!”
"It's all dunks, how can the shooting percentage be low? I can only blame the Rockets' substitute insiders, who are too weak on defense." Charles Barkley laughed and said: "Perm can always be used on certain nights.
Performing such a pure performance of basket abuse made my blood boil and I couldn't help myself! I really hope he can help the Lakers reverse the game and have a perfect night!" "Charles, I'm afraid this won't be easy." Ken.
Ni Smith said calmly: "Even if they scored a lot of points in the past five or six minutes, the Rockets are all on the bench. The only main player, Parsons, is weak in interior defense and does not pose any threat to him.
However, if nothing goes as expected, after returning from the timeout, McHale will dispatch all his main players, and that’s when the game will truly enter the showdown.”
"It depends on how the Lakers deal with it when they come back from the timeout."
Beep~ The timeout is over and the game starts again.
No surprise, Kevin McHale fielded his entire lineup, as if he was eager to re-consolidate the score difference.
However, this kind of substitution will actually increase the psychological pressure of the players on the court because the purpose is too obvious and straightforward.
There is no room for change.
McHale's timing of timeouts and substitution assignments are not as good as those of first-class coaches.
"Finally up?" Tang Qian counted the time, then licked his lips and said, "Go all out!"
Before the end of this game, I will destroy your morale!
The Rockets attack, this is the first year that Harden has become a well-known star in the league, so it is also the first year that his statistics have exploded. From last year's average of 16+4+3+1 per game, in the blink of an eye he has become an excellent nearly 26
+5+6+2. And this year he was also successfully selected to the All-Star team for the first time in his career. The simulated best team voting for the season was between the 2nd team and the 3rd team.
Likewise, this is the first time in his four years in the NBA that he has been included in the discussion for the All-NBA Team.
A star of hope for the alliance seems to be slowly rising.
Of course, I have to mention that this season is the year in which Harden's "touching porcelain" skills are initially perfected. He averages double figures in free throws per game, which shows his "lethal power". You must know that even Kobe has only his personal ability.
This level can be achieved in the three years at the peak. Other well-known points such as Carter and Tracy McGrady have never reached double figures in free throws per game in their career. They have surpassed the world-famous "Flash" Wade, and only have 2 in his career.
times. Therefore, it shows how powerful and terrifying this data is.
However, unlike his predecessors, Harden's free throws come more from taking the initiative to "make fouls" or even "find fouls." So from some aspects, Harden's free throws are nicknamed "touching the ball."
, it still makes some sense. But Tang Qian doesn't think there is any problem. Reasonable use of the league's "body hair whistle" rules is also a type of ability. Playing basketball is about maximizing your personal abilities.
Harden was very successful at this, and in the end he was even so awesome that it made people "daunted". Many photos of players trying to avoid Harden's "touching tricks" during the game were also quite popular in later generations, which made people feel intimidated.
It seems a bit ridiculous. But when he plays like this, he still needs to withstand the test in the playoffs. Although the league has canceled the Hand-Check, which suppresses the outside most, which has greatly liberated the offensive capabilities of outside players, it can be relatively easy.
The penalty scale for the regular season and playoffs in the regular season and playoffs has changed significantly.
Regardless of Harden's average number of free throws per game, which seems to have not changed much compared to the regular season, if you watch the game carefully, you will know that the chance of "hitting the porcelain" at least 20 times in the regular season has now been reduced by half.
This is most obvious when looking at the shooting percentage, because once the "touch" fails and the referee does not give a whistle, most of the results will end in shooting. After all, if you want to make a decent "touch", then change the shot
Movement and twisting of the body are basic conditions. Coupled with the intensity of physical confrontation in the playoffs, Harden's shooting percentage dropped significantly in the 2012-2013 playoffs. His shooting percentage in the regular season was close to 44%. In the playoffs, Harden's shooting percentage dropped significantly.
It became 39.1%, less than 40%. Then the next season, it was even more distinct. The regular season shooting rate reached a good 45.6%. What about the playoffs? It dropped by a full eight percentage points, leaving only 37.6%!
This is the reason why Harden has never been able to become a true superstar. He has lingered on the edge of a quasi-star for too long and always missed the playoffs.
A star that can be easily targeted cannot be considered a superstar. At most, it is a quasi-star. No matter how good your regular season data is, it will not help. And Harden does not have an MVP bonus for the time being, so the threshold for quasi-stars is first level.
Just a few years. As for the future, it depends on his personal experience. He may suddenly break out and become a blockbuster, becoming a superstar or even a quasi-superstar. Maybe... he will spend his whole life at the peak of a quasi-star, spinning on the edge of a superstar.
.
But now Harden doesn’t know how “difficult” his playoff journey will become. After all, he lived extremely comfortably in the first year of the regular season after becoming a regular player. Having tasted the sweetness, he
To break through and then cause a defensive foul on the Lakers.
This was also his most common solution to problems in the 2012-2013 season.
"The great method of touching porcelain".
No one knows this better than No. 29 of the Lakers, so as soon as he saw Harden's posture, he stood on the inside and said loudly: "Jordy, don't stick too close. If he wants to come in, just let him
Come in, the Lakers' inside line welcomes him. "What? Let him in? After Jodi Meeks was slightly stunned, Harden took the opportunity to dribble in and broke through the former's first line of defense.
Okay, the next step is for a group of people to gather around and make it easier for them to "touch porcelain".
Harden was thinking about this, but what he didn't expect was that the Lakers had an unimpeded path from the three-point line to the inside.
No one stepped forward to double-team or help defend him.
This...this damn person is looking down on me nakedly!
In this case, I will accept this goal!
Harden made a layup, and then was blocked by a big shot!
For someone like Harden who likes to rely on physical contact to "touch porcelain", the "Rocket Block" is simply the natural enemy and nemesis. It is so clean that even the referees who have received black money cannot talk about it. "A big shot"
!Successfully defended our Lakers' restricted area!" As Bill McDonald was talking, the Lakers switched offense and handed the basketball into the hands of No. 29 again.
Not talking about the future, not talking about the second half, for this period of time, the Lakers No. 29 is enough to make the fans at Staples Center trust him. The current shooting rate is 100%! Just ask who else in the Lakers team can compete with him.
Fighting? So as soon as Tang Qian got the ball, the Staples Center burst into cheers and shouts: "Come on, hot, fulfill your promise! Lead us into the playoffs!"
"Kill the Rockets! I'll buy 10 of your jerseys tonight!!!"
"Kill these Texas guys!!! Let them know how powerful the City of Angels is!!!"
It was as if suddenly the entire audience became his fans.
This feeling and expectation made Tang Qian slightly distracted, but he soon adjusted back, concentrated and continued the game. After switching to the main lineup, Tang Qian's opponent became the 213CM Turkey
Center Omer Asik, and this season can be called the latter's "peak period", averaging double figures in points and rebounds per game, 10+11, making this third-year student full of hope for his future in the league. Besides,
Defense is originally his job, and his positioning when entering the NBA is that of a senior blue-collar player.
From this point of view, he is doing a pretty good job, ranking 4th in rebounds per game this season, which is enough to show his ability as a first-class rebounder.
And except for Tang Qian, who is second, his playing time is the shortest among the top five, exactly 30 minutes. He averages 11.7 rebounds per game in 30 minutes, which is unimaginably efficient. If he is given the playing time of the other players, he will
He will have the ability to rebound 14+ times. So as an underrated player, Asik in the past few seasons is definitely one of them.
Unfortunately, physical fitness is his biggest weakness, which makes his maximum playing time, which is about 30 minutes. Once exceeded, his efficiency will drop rapidly. This will become more and more obvious in the future, especially after 2015. But in comparison,
Parsons and Terrence Jones just now, his defense is much more reassuring.
At least McHale feels that it is enough not to let the Lakers continue to "make trouble" and "dominate" on the 29th.
"Asik has produced first-class blue-collar data this year, averaging double 10+ per game, and with a standard height of 7 feet, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be the same as before... oh~ beautiful!!! Dunk!!! Hot again
Dunk!!! He pushed away Asik, who weighed more than 250 pounds, turned around and dunked successfully!!!" At 39-47, Tang Qian scored his 21st point, and his shooting percentage was still 100%!
Omer Asik was a little dazed, because at that moment, he was like facing a 300-pound giant. As soon as the opponent's inside line exerted force, his defense collapsed, and he almost couldn't even stand. Although he
I have never faced off against "Shark" O'Neal, but I have been playing basketball for so many years, and this is the first time since my debut that I have been pushed away from the low post so easily.
Is it an illusion? You should stand firmer on the next ball?
The Rockets are attacking, and James Harden wants to attack again. He was blocked by the inside just now, which makes Rockets No. 13, who is full of confidence this season, feel unhappy. He is a first-class scorer who averages 25+ and close to 26+ per game. How could this happen?
Being stopped by a blue-collar guy?
Absolutely not!
Harden broke through with the ball. Because of Tang Qian's instruction, the opponent did not stick too close, which allowed Harden to easily rush into the Lakers' inside line. Lakers No. 29 looked at the former,
Opening his arms, although he didn't say a word, the meaning was clear: Come on, I'm waiting for you.
So far this season, how many people dare to treat Harden like this? Harden was a little angry, and when his brain got hot, he took off and attacked towards the Lakers basket. This ball was still the same, he was not going for the basket at all.
.The target of his attack was No. 29 of the Lakers, Tang Qian.
Tang Qian had expected this scene a long time ago, and did not press forward at all. He just stood there and waited for his opponent to enter the urn.
Bang~
The two collided under the basket, but the whistle that Harden expected did not come because the Lakers went straight up and down on the 29th without moving their feet or making extra waves. Moreover, this is the Lakers' home court.
, the law enforcement referee has no reason to give Harden a "star whistle". "Star whistle" is generally used in controversial foul standards. It is extremely rare in the league to give a "star whistle" even if there is no foul at all. And
In most cases, the referee did not see clearly or was deceived by the attacker's acting skills.
This season Harden has just mastered his "Porcelain Skill" and his acting skills have not yet reached the level of proficiency, so the referees did not penalize Tang Qian for a defensive foul in this game.
It didn't matter if the whistle didn't sound. When Harden collided with No. 29's body, he felt a strong counter-shock force coming towards him, which was almost impossible to resist. His body movements were extremely deformed in an instant. In this case, Haden
Deng's shot eventually became a 3-point shot that didn't touch the basket, didn't touch the net, and didn't touch the board. Gasol got the basketball, and the Lakers launched a fast break in the backcourt.
But this time Meeks' hand "slid" during the layup. The basketball spun two or three times on the rim, but it still came out of the basket.
Tang Qian had not yet entered the Rockets' inside lane, so the rebound was protected by the Rockets.
The Rockets were on a fast break, and the basketball was controlled by Jeremy Lin. Just as Jeremy Lin was about to come by himself, a shout from behind stopped him, saying: "Jeremy, give me the basketball!" The person who spoke was the Rockets' No. 13, Future.
James Harden, the league’s leading point scorer.
This sentence is full of command and unquestionable flavor.
Jeremy Lin hesitated, but still chose to pass the ball, and the basketball was passed to Harden in the middle.
I will definitely destroy you with this ball! Oriental guy!
Harden held his breath in his heart and concentrated on trying to "touch porcelain" on Tang Qian.
Tang Qian had just returned to defense with the ball, and his footing was still a bit unstable, so he couldn't adjust the distance to block the rocket. In the end, Harden could only get his wish and hit him. Beep~ Harden finally heard the whistle he had dreamed of.
Okay! I'm really strong already! Who is the league's shot-blocking leader! You can't stop me long ago!
As for the huge counter-shock force on No. 29, Harden has been mentally prepared after the experience. He believes that he will not be in trouble again. But the golden power amplification card brings more than just counter-shock force.
Seeing that the whistle had already sounded, the Lakers did something on the 29th that Harden will remember tonight.
He didn't even look at it, he just slapped him down.
There was a "pop" sound, hitting the right hand of Harden's ball protector. Because Harden is a left-handed general, his offensive habits do make it difficult for people to react in a short time. But this is not important, because Tang Qian wants
, it is a thug, it is an intrusion. Anyway, the whistle has sounded, whether you hit this hand or not, you will be punished with a free throw... Why not, charge some interest and maximize the effect of this foul.
What is maximizing the effect of fouling?
The older generation of stars gave a good example. In Jordan's 81-point game against Kobe, he said similar words. Unless I committed 6 fouls, I would never let him score so many points. In addition, there are also
Ben Wallace, Mutombo, Ewing, Mourning, etc. have said that fierce and powerful defensive fouls, fierce fouls that do not violate the spirit of sports competition, can let the opponent understand your defensive attitude and create psychological
I have scruples and dare not show off my power in front of you and run rampant.
The so-called art of fouling is the same, maximizing your willingness to defend and conveying it to your opponent's head.
This creates an invisible deterrent.
Suddenly, James Harden felt a force majeure, which went straight to his right hand, and then with a "bang" sound, his whole body was slapped hard under the penalty area. The weight of the collision made the spectators under the Lakers basket feel a wave of shock.
toothache.
This is because Tang Qian didn't use much strength. If he used all, no, 70% of his strength, Harden's life would probably be in danger. The golden strength booster card made his bench press strength at this moment catch up.
Captain America. Think about the consequences of being punched by Captain America. I’m afraid you don’t dare to think about it.
After "beating" Harden down, Tang Qian "obediently" raised his hands and looked like he accepted the punishment.
The referee blew the whistle for Harden to take a free throw, but unexpectedly, Rockets No. 13 did not stand up.
At this time, the head coach of the Rockets could not sit still and immediately requested the technical desk and the referees to let the team doctor come on to check the specific condition of James Harden. If the team's major injury occurred in the last regular season game,
The boss, Kevin McHale, almost wants to die.
Please, God, please don't "play" with me like that?
Maybe McHale's prayers worked, or maybe God really heard his prayers. As soon as the Rockets team doctor came on the court, James Harden on the ground reacted and forced himself to stand up. As soon as he stood up
He yelled at Tang Qian in front of him: "Young Eastern guy! Are you trying to trick me? Are you looking for a fight?" When Harden first became the boss, he had a very aggressive temper and was far from the maturity and stability he would become a few years later.
The famous nickname "Hajishi" is also the result of his unscrupulous words during this period.
"Hey, you have a good temper after becoming the boss?" Tang Qian didn't care. He looked at Harden and smiled lightly: "Well, but if you have the guts, why don't you come over and give it a try?" Tang Qian's words made Harden stand out.
I woke up and thought that I must not fall into the opponent's "trick". Howard, Brook Lopez, and the entire Nuggets team have all been repaired by this Oriental. I am just an outside player who is more than one meter long, so I still don't want to fight with him.
This "silly big guy" who is over two meters tall is fussy about everything.
"Humph, barbarian! I don't care about you!" Harden's words mean that he is cowardly, because most black Americans have always done what they say. If they can think rationally, they are already cowardly.
It didn't matter that Tang snuck down, allowing Harden to go to the free throw line and shoot the free throw.
When~
When~
James Harden missed both free throws? This situation made people in Los Angeles feel like it was pie in the sky!
This shows that the Lakers’ foul on No. 29 was a great value! It was not a loss at all!
You must know that Harden is now averaging more than 85% of his free throws per game. He missed both free throws. This kind of thing is really rare for him. Damn it! His right hand can't protect the ball at all! It's all that damn thing
What a good thing that Oriental guy did! Harden shook his still trembling right hand angrily while glaring at Tang Qian, as if he wanted to eat the latter.
Tang Qianhun didn't care. Instead, he smiled at Harden and said, "Thank you for missing two free throws and letting me earn money."
This made James Harden even more angry. His eyes were sharp and he shot straight at his opponent, wanting to pierce the chest of Lakers No. 29.
When the Lakers attacked, it was Tang Qian who continued to eat Omer Asik alive, leaving his opponent with no temper at all. Those who didn't know better thought the latter was cooperating with the former in match-fixing.
"Bang!" The Lakers scored again, 41-47, with only 6 points left. The maximum 26 points in the first quarter were eaten away.
The Rockets missed a shot, and the basketball was protected by Tang Qian. The Lakers attacked. After halftime, Blake did not hesitate to pass the basketball in his hand to teammate No. 29 in the penalty area. This
McHale was very unhappy and stood on the sidelines and shouted: "Omir! Guard him! He weighs about the same as you! You must do your best!!!"
However, it turned out that McHale's guidance from the sidelines was of no use. Tang Qian still squeezed Omer away. Asik succeeded in dunking under the basket! This also hit Asik hard. He couldn't help but move towards the Lakers' goal.
No. 29 complained: "Hey, Oriental, can you do nothing but dunk? Are you tired of being like this all the time?"
Tang Qian was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then replied: "Because dunking has the highest success rate, and..." He smiled and said, "You can't guard it, can you?"
"Whenever you can defend yourself, I will naturally change my tactics."
