As the dust of the entire regular season has settled, the single-game average data list has finally emerged.
Scoring leader: New York Knicks, Carmelo Anthony, averaging 28.7 points per game.
Rebounding leader: Los Angeles Lakers, Tang Qian, averaging 12.5 rebounds per game.
Assist leader: Boston Celtics, Rajon Rondo, averaging 11.1 assists per game.
Block leader: Los Angeles Lakers, Tang Qian, averaging 4.1 blocks per game.
Steals leader: Los Angeles Clippers, Chris Paul, averaging 2.4 steals per game.
In addition to the "kings" of the five basic statistics, there are also some "kings" in smaller lists, such as the turnover king - James Harden. For example, the foul king - Dwight Howard. For example, the three-point average king -
Stephen Curry. For example, the free throw king - James Harden. For example, the blacksmith king - Carmelo Anthony. For example, the efficiency king - LeBron James... and so on. And the five basic data "kings"
Differently, these inconspicuous small lists can sometimes reveal an overall future trend and direction.
For example, the turnover king Harden is officially online. In the next five years, he will be the absolute overlord of this list and the absolute top three. This also shows that Harden has begun to enter the era of holding a lot of balls and practicing a lot. Then the free throw king will not be used anymore.
Having said that, for a long time, No. 13 of the Rockets will be a nearly invincible presence in the league, and no one can shake it. This means that Harden’s “magic skill” has initially been completed and he will become famous in the league.
.
Then the average three-point leader per game is shuffled, which is also an introduction. Perhaps the strongest three-point player in history is gradually showing his prowess. In the next five years, he will be similar to the free throw king Harden, basically unshakable and unapproachable. The efficiency king
It is still the "Emperor" LeBron. His stability and peak condition have basically made this list lose suspense since the beginning of the season.
There are so many "knowledges" that can be seen in the small list, not to mention the five basic big lists.
Tang Qian won the rebounding title for the first time, not to mention being the shot-blocking champion, which is equivalent to winning the second of the five basic rankings. This is definitely a great honor. Since the completion of data statistics in the 1970s, all NBA history
There are very few. To put it more seriously, only 5 people have achieved it. They are Bill Walton (76-77 season), Ben Wallace (01-02 season), Hakeem Olajuwon (
89-90 season), "Sky Hook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (75-76 season), Dwight Howard (08-09, 09-10). In other words, among the active players, only Tang Qian's teammate, "Warcraft"
Have done this before.
But now the "single-season rebounding leader + shot-blocking leader club" is about to add another person, and he is No. 29 of the Lakers, Tang Qian.
He will be the sixth player in the history of this "club", Tang Qian (12-13 season).
However, since Tang Qian has a mediocre or even poor relationship with most authoritative media in the United States, few authoritative media have trumpeted him. Only Abby Hornacek of FOX Sports mentioned him in his report.
Pointed out and said: Congratulations on becoming the sixth player in the history of this great "club"!
In the regular season, he averaged 4.9 points, 12.5 rebounds, 4.1 blocks, 0.9 assists, and 0.2 steals per game. These are Tang Qian’s final five basic statistics for the 2012-2013 season. It can be seen that there has been a lot of progress compared to the previous year.
Five data items have been comprehensively improved.
At 7:30 pm on April 21, 2013 in the United States, the Lakers went to the AT&T Center Arena for the first game of the series. Because they were lagging behind in record, they did not have the home court advantage in the series.
When the Lakers entered the AT&T Center, their fighting spirit was still high, wondering if they could win something. But as soon as the game started, the Spurs began to teach the Lakers a lesson. This was a real lesson, a textbook-like lesson, from Mobile
From the pick-and-roll to passing the ball, the Spurs are simply one dimension ahead of the Lakers! The Spurs led the Los Angeles Lakers by 20+ points in just 3 quarters. Tang Qian tried his best, but it was still a drop in the bucket, let alone saving the Lakers.
After joining the team, I was in a mess.
Why is this happening? The reason is very simple, there are three points.
First, compared to the Spurs' "pretending to be dead" in the regular season, it was as if they had a different team in the playoffs, with their overall combat effectiveness rising sharply and catching the Los Angeles people off guard.
Secondly, the disadvantages of the Lakers have become more and more prominent in the playoffs where the competition is more fierce. They are fighting independently, with no chemical reaction, no tacit understanding, and are scattered. Let alone the San Antonio Spurs, I am afraid that any team in the playoffs will not be able to win.
No team can beat it.
Third, it is Tang Qian's own problem. First of all, all of his ability cards have been used for the Lakers to compete in the playoffs. Then, his personal competitive status is more than one level behind compared to the regular season.
Why? Because the "playoff demon" strikes again.
It came unexpectedly.
Tang Qian originally thought that if he won a championship in the 1970s, this curse would be lifted, but it seems that he still thought too much. The "different space" will not give him such cheap good things. He wants to disintegrate the "heart"
"Devil", we must win the championship in modern times.
This caused Tang Qian's competitive state to suddenly decline significantly.
Just like tonight, the competitive state dropped by 19%, which made Tang Qian instantly lose his absolute matchup advantage on the defensive end, because your state dropped, but the opponent's state improved. Over and over again, it was not just as simple as 19%.
.This is also the biggest impact of "Inner Demon". It seems that the competitive state has only dropped by 19%. In fact, with the improvement of the opponent's state, the gap is at least more than 20 percentage points.
These are ordinary players, like stars, whose playoff status will increase even more, making the "starting difference" between Tang Qian and them even greater.
Although they can still hold down the Spurs' bench, the feeling of being like a fish in water during the regular season is completely gone.
In the whole game, Tang Qian scored 0 points, 8 rebounds, 1 block, 0 assists and 0 steals. Not to mention how ugly it was, at least it was not very good-looking. This made a group of authoritative North American media, led by ESPN, suddenly excited and began to gear up and endure.
Not living in the column and website wrote:
Is Dongfang Fang the season's block leader? The season's rebound leader? The regular season is okay, but the true colors are revealed in the playoffs!
The old Spurs show off their power! Let the Lakers' No. 29 offensive end and defense be completely useless!
This is the difference between ordinary players and star players. Look at Howard's statistics in this game and it's clear at a glance!
He is just an ordinary NBA bench player! Brock Lopez said in an interview with ESPN.
Best Defensive Player? Charles, do you think he really has this qualification and ability?
Once the "damage" was over, these authoritative media became angry and stared at Tang Qian, preparing to play again in the next game. The second game was held three days later, and the location was still at the AT&T Center Arena in San Antonio.
The All-Rookie Second Team was released on the same day, and Tang Qian finally waited for the "different space" box opening reward.
The block leader + rebound leader, Tang Qian opened one and opened another. The one he opened was a silver agility card. The user's physical agility increased by 40% within 12 minutes. This made some improvement in the performance that night.
In the second quarter, he scored 9 rebounds, blocked 4 shots and scored 4 points, but in the end, the Lakers still lost the game and trailed the San Antonio Spurs 2-0.
Why was this silver agility card used in the second quarter? Because the Lakers were defeated in the first quarter. If it was not used in the second quarter, the Lakers might have entered garbage time early. Within 12 minutes, Tang Qian's performance
It was indeed good. Rebounds, blocks, and defense all put the Spurs into trouble for a certain period of time. But it was just a close match.
Because the Spurs' playoff power is so strong, even if Tang Qian opens the silver agility card, he can no longer completely overwhelm his opponents like in the regular season. And because of the "inner demon", Tang Qian's competitiveness
The status dropped by 15%, which also indirectly weakened the power of the silver agility card.
As for the others, they were all dominated by the Spurs and turned into a mess.
Gasol, apart from having the right to attack inside when cooperating with Tang Qian, spent the rest of the time flying kites from the outside, which made the threat basically not worth mentioning. What about Howard, who has high hopes from Lakers fans? This game is better than the first game.
He played well, scoring 20 points, 15 rebounds and 2 blocks, but he had 0 assists and only passed the ball 8 times in the game, which made the Lakers' perimeter offense very rigid. He made 22 3-pointers in the game.
3 of 3, the shooting rate of open shots was less than 20%, and the shooting rate was 13.6%, which is not surprising. What about the opponent? 7 of 14 three-pointers, a 50% shooting rate, which completely beat the Lakers by nearly five times!
In this way, if you don't lose, then there will be ghosts.
Tang Qian scored 5 points, 13 rebounds, and 4 blocks in this game. He looked passable and not bad, but his overall help to the Lakers was just a piece of cake. Except for a slight resistance in the second quarter, he was basically still unable to do what he wanted.
Not caught.
In the end, they lost by 21 points, 81-102, and the Spurs won both home games.
The game will move to the Staples Center in Los Angeles in two days.

Domestically, Lakers fans were also wailing. The good news that Tang Qian won the block title and was crowned the rebounding title was diluted in an instant.
After two consecutive losses, the entire Lakers team fell into a vague pessimism. Most people believed that the team could not beat the Spurs in the series. Mike D'Antoni worked overtime every day, studying videos and tactics.
, but this kind of temporary behavior is of little use to the current Lakers.
If they lose another home game on the 26th, the Lakers will be completely eliminated.
Because of the 0:3 reverse situation, no one in history has ever been able to come back.
When the series score becomes this kind, it means that the game is over.
I don’t know when the ridicule of Tang Qian suddenly started to increase. Little King Justin Bieber’s tweets added fuel to the flames and attracted the attention and reposting of many people.
He, No. 29 of the Lakers, is just a regular season player. I wonder what everyone thinks?
As soon as this statement came out, Taylor first stood up and expressed opposition, and then Karlie Kloss, Ajali Ranadive, etc., all stood up to support Tang Qian. However, from the perspective of fans, it is still Taylor's influence.
The most powerful force. But it is obvious that the voices supporting Tang Qian are weak. Neutral fans and passers-by still only rely on data and wins and losses.
As for Tang Qian, he was sure that he would try his best in the following games, but... the strength of the Spurs was beyond his expectation.
I didn’t expect that after entering the playoffs, the energy of San Antonio people would be so strong! It’s shocking!
Suddenly, Tang Qian remembered something again. In the 2012-2013 season, it seemed that the San Antonio Spurs were the team that reached the finals, right? They fought the Miami Heat for 7 games before being eliminated. So, now the Lakers are in
Play a series with this season's finals team?
Disaster.
It's too difficult.
When Tang Qian meditates alone, he likes to sit in the "different space" because it is absolutely quiet here and no one can disturb him. But at this moment, something in the "different space" attracted his attention
.
PS: I’ll add an update today, probably in the early morning~
Xiao Zi has seen everyone’s suggestions. Xiao Zi will try her best to control the situation later. Thank you for your support~/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~~
Thanks to Hong Fen for the great reward. I will give you more thanks tonight~
