Popovich believes in Holy City No. 21, and Holy City No. 21 also believes in himself, but Tang Qian now is not an ordinary Tang Qian, let alone 37-year-old Tim Duncan, even if he is 30 years old, 28
It was difficult for the 20-year-old Tim Duncan to break through the former's defense in a one-on-one situation. So after a struggle, it was the Lakers' No. 29 who had the upper hand.
Instead of narrowing the score difference, the Spurs further widened the score difference.
At the end of the entire third quarter, the Spurs only scored a pitiful 10 points, 63-50. The Lakers led by 13 points entering the final quarter. The Spurs were a little anxious. For the sake of their shooting and success rates, they strengthened their attack on the Lakers.
The impact of the team's inside line, but with Lakers No. 29 here, basically few balls can successfully fall into the basket. "Demigod coming down to earth" is definitely not just a talk.
Seeing that there was no hope of chasing points, Popovich rationally removed the main players of the team, which was tantamount to surrendering in advance.
Seeing the Spurs doing this, the Staples Center became noisy. On-site commentator Bill McDonald took the lead and said excitedly: "Ladies and gentlemen, have you seen it! We won! We made the powerful San Antonio people admit defeat early.
!Who said the Los Angeles Lakers are vulnerable? Who said this series is the least suspenseful round of the playoffs? To use a hot word, Questions?"
“We tied the big score!!!”
In this game, Tang Qian scored 7 points, 19 rebounds, 9 blocks and 2 assists. Gasol scored 26 points, 7 rebounds, 1 block and 4 assists. Meeks scored 23 points and 1 assist.
1 rebound, 1 steal and 1 assist. The three of them are the biggest contributors to the Lakers' ability to equalize the score tonight. Naturally, the best player of the game was No. 29. His statistics are "weird" and amazing, which is incredible.
Refute something.
This performance completely eliminated Mike D'Antoni's hesitation. He said directly at the post-game press conference:
Hot is the core player of this Lakers team now, and he is leading the team forward!
When reporters asked, D'Antoni did not restrain himself anymore and opened his mouth to answer:
Substitute? Main player? Please, do you think this is important? Whoever can help the Lakers win now is the person I can entrust with important tasks! And obviously, this person is currently No. 29, hot in China!
Meeks also supported Tang Qian at the press conference, saying:
No need to question! Although he didn’t score much, he had 19 rebounds and 9 blocks. As long as he wasn’t blind, he wouldn’t turn a blind eye, right? Without him, it would have been impossible for the Lakers to equalize the score!
You ask me what I think about the rumors? Haha~ If we can keep winning, what does it have to do with fighting and fighting within the team? Can no fighting or fighting help us tie the series score? Believe me, buddy, I just
Follow the strong, I only follow the winners! It’s that simple!
Because of Howard's dismissal, Gasol's statistics soared in the last two games. Coupled with the win, he was in a good mood and said:
Does perm make everyone hate him? This must be a nonsense rumor! Didn’t you see that I have a relationship with him? I am proud of him!
Violent maniac? As long as he doesn't actively cause trouble, who would use violence for no reason? Oh? No, no, no, I didn't say anything, it's just that I don't think Fang is this kind of person.
As for Tang Qian himself, he said briefly and comprehensively: 2-2, have those who looked down on us seen it now?
Although we have had many ups and downs this season, we are definitely not a "soft persimmon" that can be manipulated by others. No matter whether you are second in the Western Conference or first in the Western Conference, if you want to step over us, you have to lose a layer of skin!
Bryant, Nash, and Pease, even if they are not here in person, their spirit and heart are always there, and they are always with us!
So stop making those "stupid" remarks. We will not easily accept the self-fulfilling "fate prophecies" of some authoritative media authorities!
Because basketball is never “predicted”!
If you pay attention, you will definitely find that starting from the third game, the tone and attitude of Lakers No. 29 have gradually gotten rid of the initial caution and caution. He began to speak more and more from the front, just like
No. 24 has been doing what he has been doing this season, spreading his wings to protect his teammates from the wind and rain, so that they can focus on the court and be less disturbed by outside public opinion.
And this... is something that only the team boss, the absolute core of the team, would do.
The most important thing is that few people in the Lakers team thought it was inappropriate for him to do this, and few people felt repulsed by it.
No. 29 itself is also "natural", completely unlike the previous hesitation and hesitation.
Between the lines and every gesture, there is an aura and momentum of a "successor", "winner" and "leader".
This is also one of the things that Mike D'Antoni values most.
Yes, not rebounding, not blocking shots, not defense, but the momentum and momentum that uniquely belongs to a "championship leader". This is what impresses Mike D'Antoni the most. The momentum and momentum that uniquely belongs to a "championship leader"?
What is this? Roughly speaking, it is something that will appear after leading the team to win the championship. This kind of thing is rare in the league. Because role players will not have this kind of momentum and momentum when they win the championship.
At least "the three giants jointly win the championship" and "double-core win the championship" are possible. Of course, the strongest one is "the boss wins the championship". In this way, there will be a qualitative leap in temperament. D'Antoni discovered No. 29 a long time ago
There is this kind of "thing", but in terms of degree, it is very weak, so I don't get too serious and entangled. But starting from the second half of the third game of the series, this kind of "thing" suddenly became stronger.
, it’s like going from “multiple giants jointly winning the championship” to suddenly stepping into the ranks of “the absolute boss” winning the championship.
This change shocked Mike D'Antoni!
Although the intensity is still a bit thin, this change can be called a "qualitative change".
You must know that even Kobe, before the 2008-09 season, was only a "double-core champion". The momentum and momentum of an "absolute championship leader" can only be achieved after defeating the Magic in the 2009 Finals. So it can be seen that this
This kind of "qi and momentum" is so rare and precious. Let alone the Lakers, even if you look at the entire league, there are only a few people who really have it.
He, a second-year substitute rookie, actually "inexplicably" possesses such "energy and momentum", which can't help but make Mike D'Antoni look at him with admiration. Coupled with his excellent home performance in the next two games, D'Antoni made up his mind.
——He will temporarily give up No. 12, Dwight Howard, in this series.
SO, that is to say, he is ready to let the latter "give way" to the former and serve as a substitute.
But there is one thing that D'Antoni is still confused about. Why is the "qi and momentum" of Tang Qian, the "absolute champion leader", so "weak"? Logically speaking, this kind of "qi and momentum" should not be between the three.
Is it the strongest one? Therefore, this old man from West Virginia was puzzled. Regarding this, of course he could not understand how Tang Qian got this "qi and momentum".
How is it "weak"? A cheap champion? Even if he finally wins the championship as the absolute boss, in terms of degree and difficulty, it is much inferior to the full leadership of the regular season + playoffs + finals. It is equivalent to saying
Tang Qian only took the last step of the three steps, and the accumulation of the first two steps was completely omitted, so this "strange" situation occurred.
Of course, it is definitely unique in the entire alliance.
But even so, with the momentum and momentum of a "weakened version of the absolute championship leader", it is enough for him to stand out from within the Lakers. After all, except for Gasol, no one in the Lakers has won a championship ring. Including Germany
The same is true for White Howard. Due to temperament issues, the Spaniard cannot go further. Becoming a leader or a multi-core, the best second-in-command is almost his ultimate limit. In this way, Tang Qian's sudden "sublimation" suddenly
"Qualitative change" plays a crucial role in forcing cohesion for such a team that has lost military morale and lost morale.
The biggest common feature of a leader is that he can lead others, unite others, and gather others. Otherwise, a "bare commander" cannot be said to be a leader. Therefore, the Lakers suddenly appeared in the stragglers.
After finding a "champion leader" figure, everyone immediately seemed to have found a backbone. Spontaneously, consciously, and involuntarily, they began to move closer and closer to the former.
From this, D'Antoni gradually strengthened his decision to "support the Tang Dynasty and demote the Huo Dynasty".
There is no way, why do you think the Lakers are lacking such a person now?
Dwight Howard, you were indeed strong in your prime, but unfortunately you don’t have this "thing" in you, and... you are no longer in your prime now, are you? So, I'm sorry.
The series score was a draw, and the outside world suddenly became extremely interested in this originally "insipid" game.
T.N.T official website takes the lead and says:
Who said he would be swept away? Tang personally spoke out, have you seen it now?
Charles Barkley once again reiterated that DPOY should have a place in China this season!
19 rebounds and 9 blocks. Smart team general managers, what are you waiting for? After your hot contract expires, you should act quickly!!! All-star blue-collar players are the perfect puzzle to strengthen the team.
ah!!!
He is fulfilling his promise, T.N.T reporter Kate Malindao.
Later, in order to "catch up on the popularity", several small websites followed the trend, and the traditional media even more "exaggerated" and wished they could "splash" on this Oriental. But so far, few people have really
I dare to think that the Lakers will successfully counterattack and eliminate the San Antonio Spurs. The authoritative media has unanimously announced this. The "Big Four" headed by ESPN, Yahoo, Sports Illustrated, and CBS simultaneously said:
The San Antonio Spurs will eventually enter the second round. The Lakers fight bravely but cannot escape defeat.
Why is Dongfang Fang so crazy? He has a black heart! Just like a fallen angel! Such a person will never become a great player in the alliance!
D'Antoni's taste in employment has been questioned. Could it be that he is an Eastern Buddha of faith?
Despise authority? Call authority stupid? Is this really the most arrogant and ridiculous person I have ever seen? Do you really think a guy who averaged 4.9 points per game in the regular season has any credibility in what he says? e.on~ I’ll learn from you
Compatriot Yao Ba, let’s see how to be an Oriental in the league!
How familiar is this scene? Generally speaking, it is the Lakers on the 24th and the authoritative media who "quarrel" with each other.
But now, the 24th is no longer there, so it becomes the 29th.
On the other side of the ocean, there is no such a good attitude. It is simply "one-sided". Post bars, forums, and websites are full of supportive remarks. Including many fans who are not Lakers or Tang Qian fans, they are vaguely cross.
After passing the "neutral line", I turned to the embrace of "Tang Qi". The reason is not complicated, because this is the only Chinese playing in the playoffs in the NBA. Moreover, after two games of downturn on the 29th, it seems that
There is a tendency for a full-scale outbreak.
These two points alone are enough for people on the other side of the ocean to temporarily put aside their differences and gradually unite.
Maybe after the playoffs, many of them will become "Lake Black" and "Tang Black" again next season, but at this point in time, most Chinese fans are vaguely cheering for No. 29, and they are vaguely cheering for No. 29.
Shout out to number 29.
This is the connection between "Yanhuang plot" and "Yanhuang bloodline". To a certain extent, it can transcend personal private emotions.
Support Tang Ji! Despise the "four authoritative media giants"!!!
What kind of attitude! If you play well, why don't you let me take it? Why don't you let me go crazy? There are quite a lot of your local players who speak freely!
Ignore them! Don! Use competition to prove yourself! Slap their faces until they become swollen, and they will be afraid!
That's right! Don let them know how powerful Dongfang man is! Lead the Lakers to pull out the thorns!!!
At this time, the NBA announced a new season award. The COY for the 12-13 season was announced, which is the best coach. The winner was George Karl of the Nuggets. He gave the Nuggets a new look this season and withstood the start of the season.
"Personnel pressure" has improved the Nuggets from 38 wins last year to 57 wins this year, a winning rate of nearly 70%! Without any well-known stars on hand, George Karl can coach the team into a
In this way, you deserve to get COY.
Then came the announcement of the All-Defensive Team. The members of the 2012-13 All-Defensive Second Team are: Avery Bradley, Mike Conley, Tim Duncan, Paul George, and Marc Gasol.
And Tang Qian. Tang Qian received the same votes as Avery Bradley, so he barely squeezed into the All-Defensive Second Team this season.
As soon as the list of this award came out, the outside world was in an uproar. Charles Barkley, the famous commentator of T.N.T. and former NBA star, immediately started cursing online: The season's block leader + rebound leader, he barely squeezed into the second defense? He almost failed to be selected for the best defense.
Lineup? This is not funny, this is a disgrace! This is a disgrace to the league! This is a disgrace to this honor!
It was precisely because of these words that the league was in trouble again, and under such circumstances, the game entered the fifth game of the series.
This is the so-called "Battle of Tianwang Mountain".
PS: Ten thousand words broke out today, I keep my word, this is the first update, I will go back and code the second update tonight!!!
