For the first time, Tang Qian felt deeply helpless.
What is helplessness?
It means that no matter how hard you try, you can't control the situation and you can't change the outcome of the trend at all.
No kidding, there is not even a little hindrance.
You must know that now, he is still "demigod" + "low-level rage"! In this state, still at the moment, he feels powerless and unable to do anything. What do you mean? The Spurs' offensive success rate is too high
!Horribly high!
Moreover, the dazzling tactical running method makes it impossible for you to focus on targeting one person.
Because everyone can be the shooter and the end point.
Well, forget it if the defense can't prevent it. As for the offense, the Lakers are even more anxious. Obviously, the Spurs have received feedback on the defensive end because of their smooth offense, and their intensity has increased again. This is not difficult to understand. If a team
If the offense goes smoothly, the defensive enthusiasm will also increase. Especially for a well-disciplined team like the Spurs, once they enter this state, it will be more than just a little bonus.
For them, the team's defense was originally terrible, but now it is even more active. Therefore, the burst of pressure completely suppressed the morale of the Lakers players who had "drunk a sip of chicken blood" and the situation gradually became out of control.
There is no way. Originally, these people on the court were substitute players in the team. In fact, including Tang Qian, they were also substitutes in the normal rotation. So there is only one real main player on the Lakers court now, and that is Paul.
Sol.
And Gasol has tried his best tonight, with 27 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block so far. Without him in the first half, the Lakers probably wouldn’t be as good as they are now. But that’s why
, the current Spaniard is "unreliable". Why, he fought too hard in the front, too hard. At this time, his physical fitness and muscles have reached a state of exhaustion. After all, this season is not the time of 0809. Paul.
Sol is about to turn 33 in about two months, and his physical condition has dropped several notches compared to five or six years ago.
He can still maintain a good competitive efficiency for about 30 minutes, but playing 40+ minutes is still a very intense playoff game. Gasol is obviously unable to do what he wants and feels that his condition is greatly reduced. Let's not talk about the offensive end now.
On the defensive end, Gasol's influence is shrinking. He was penetrated and slipped through several times. He should have been the one to interfere.
So at the end of the game, the Lakers failed to equalize the score. The Spurs won G6 with a 15-point advantage.
Tang Qian's offense in this game was naturally incomparable with the previous game, but on the defensive end, he was still stable. He output 28 rebounds, 8 blocks, 2 steals and 3 assists. In addition to the 5 points on the offensive end, the whole game statistics
From the data point of view, it has reached the ultimate blue-collar level. When the power of "demigod comes to earth" is fully activated, it is indeed extraordinary. But on the offensive end, Tang Qian is still powerless for the time being. In the end, the Lakers died because of "weak offense"
superior.
But he also understands that his teammates have tried their best, but their abilities are limited and the bench is insufficient.
After losing Kobe, Nash, Howard, Ci Shiping and Jamison at once, what is left for the Lakers? Besides Gasol, the highest-paid players are Tang Qian and Steve Blake, but there are also
But it’s only 4 million US dollars. To be honest with this lineup, if it weren’t for Tang Qian’s “demigod coming down to earth” and if Tang Qian hadn’t stepped forward, then it would have been a complete matter for him to be swept 0-4. Even if he didn’t make it.
Teams in the playoffs have little chance of winning.
Therefore, losing seems to be a reasonable thing.
As the "acting boss", Tang Qian said in an interview that night: The two sides are just back to the starting point, and the next game is the key. He also praised Meeks and Gasol by name, claiming that everyone tried their best.
In this game, we lost because of our own offense.
But, how to solve this "just" problem?
Tang Qian didn't think of a good solution.
The same goes for Mike D'Antoni.
When he saw the Spurs playing extraordinary tactics, his mood suddenly sank to the bottom.
Because as the head coach of the Lakers, he knows very well that the current team has no ability to execute tactical ball.
Yes, not at all.
Being able to hold on to G7 is completely "lucky" or "lucky".
I originally thought that this "luck" could be longer and more, but now I see... I really think too much.
The Spurs had only restrained their own strength before, not wanting to consume too much so quickly, but if they really pushed their opponents to a certain extent, the San Antonians would definitely put aside their worries and use all their power. At that time, what happened to the "battery car" of the Lakers?
It's impossible to beat a real "racing car".
However, D'Antoni is still thinking of ways. He doesn't want to give up twice in a row in a playoff round.
The entire Lakers team spent a little bit of nervousness and uneasiness until May 4th, the day when G7 started.
It’s strange to say, even though Tang Qian only played 2 playoff games and 3 rounds of series, he seemed to reach G7 every time, so for this feeling, the Lakers’ No. 29 is not too “special”
Of course there is tension and uneasiness. After all, he is not God and cannot be "omniscient and omnipotent". But compared to other players, Tang Qian's state is the most stable.
He even surpassed the Lakers' "hero" Pau Gasol.
This may have the element of "demigod descending to earth", but Tang Qian's fighting spirit cannot be ignored either.
Some people say, what's the use of pretending, what's the use of imitating, what's the use of trying to hold on? Now Tang Qian can tell you the answer, because... pretending to be, imitating, imitating, holding on, and you will do it yourself
Slowly get used to it. Just like if you lie to someone, you end up cheating for the rest of your life.
At that time, was it still considered “cheating”?
Why should Tang Qian follow closely in the footsteps of No. 24 both mentally and mentally? For now.
He has to pretend, imitate, and force himself until he gets used to it and believes it to be true.
At that time, not only was he on par with Jordan and Kobe, he was at least ahead of other NBA players by several dimensions.
And you have to know that his "body template" Wilt Chamberlain, isn't this what he lacked most in his life? So Tang Qian had to fundamentally "cure" this problem from the very beginning.
And spiritual things are often the most difficult to change. Unless you are a person like Long Aotian who has an invincible aura, it will take a long time for ordinary people to change. Like in some competitive novels
, it didn’t take long for him to have a willpower comparable to Kobe’s and a spirit comparable to Jordan’s. This kind of thing is the biggest “unreasonable” no matter how you look at it. Just kidding, how old is the NBA? How many generations of people have been playing basketball? It’s not like that.
A Jordan and a Kobe? When you first arrived, you were on par with each other, or even far ahead. Are you too ambitious and thinking too much?
Tang Qian understands very well that his "spiritual qualifications" and "spiritual talents" are just that of an ordinary person, so if he wants to cultivate to the top level, he will definitely need a long-term training process. Therefore, as soon as he joins the Lakers, Tang Qian
Qian started to learn about No. 24, hoping that one day he could surpass himself and go further. At least, he would never be like "Dashuai Zhang".
Nonsense, Jordan and Kobe are the two strongest people in this area. If Jordan is not here, what can we do if we don't learn from Kobe?
Self-taught without a teacher? Then you must have found the wrong school and read the wrong book. Tang Qian does not have this kind of "special power".
He is just a mortal, so many things need to be gradually improved.
After all, what the "different space" can give is only the "material world", spiritual will and soul. Sorry, this cannot be imposed by external forces. Even if you want to encourage the seedlings, it is impossible.
But he still has something "different from ordinary people", that is, the experience of "two soul-returning nights", which made him truly feel the power in some aspects. Therefore, precisely because of this experience, Tang Qian's "non-material"
Only in "aspect" can we improve so quickly. Otherwise, if we want to reach the current level, it will not take more than three or five years, and it will be just a dream.
Moreover, this "three years and five years" is still a situation where you lead the team and are the boss. If you are the boss every year and do nothing every year, you will never reach the current state of mind in your life. Because the finals stage,
It is originally the "most special" environment. Being able to play several consecutive rounds in it, still as the core and the absolute core, that kind of catalytic effect can be called abnormal. You must know that ordinary players, no, even some star players, will spend their entire lives.
I have never touched the floor of the finals.
This shows that Tang Qian was "lucky".
This kind of experience is unique, a wealth that no other NBA player can have in a lifetime.
…
The G7 war is about to begin. In the first round of this year, except for the Nets VS Bulls and Lakers VS Spurs in the Eastern Conference, it is the only series that will have a "tie-break" in the first round. Therefore, T.N.T TV station has undoubtedly ranked the strongest lineup.
Let’s explain.
Let me briefly mention the humanization and commercialization of the NBA. In order to take into account the time difference between the East and the West, the league is very particular about announcing game times. The so-called "simulcast rule". Generally, NBA games are about 2 and a half hours long.
The Miami Heat in Eastern time, the Houston Rockets in Central time, and the Los Angeles Lakers in Pacific time. For example, if a game between the Heat and Rockets is to be broadcast, the league will arrange for the Miami Heat to be broadcast first, starting at 7 o'clock and ending at 9:30.
, and then it happens to pick up the Houston Rockets at Central Time. With the time difference and the two games, there is basically no delay. If the Heat and Lakers are to be broadcast, the Lakers game will usually start first, and then the Heat will be picked up.
This set of procedures is perfect. You must know that the NBA was not originally one of the four major leagues. It has risen to this level in the past 50 or 60 years. How could it be possible without some "shine points"? It is said that the NBA is a business alliance.
, but how many purely competitive leagues can achieve the level of the former? Therefore, the success of the NBA is definitely not an accident. As the most energetic and rising league among the four major leagues in North America, its operations and rules make
One can't help but admire him.
Someone asked about special situations, such as overtime. The NBA also has ways to deal with it. If it is overtime and the game time is 5 minutes, then the usual result is to delay the jump ball time of the next broadcast game, but the delay
The time usually does not exceed 10-15 minutes. What if there are 2 overtimes or more? This is similar to that in China. After the previous game is over, it will directly switch to the next game.
So before the start of the Lakers game, all the games in the first round of the Eastern Conference were over. The Bulls finally defeated the Nets 99-93, succeeded in the tiebreaker, and entered the next round. So now, the eyes of fans across the United States are focused on
The final showdown of the first round was between the Los Angeles Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs.
Because there is no "diversion" from other games, the number of viewers of this game will theoretically reach the highest point in the first round.
Before the game started, the T.N.T live broadcast room was bustling.
"Before the series started, who would have thought that the Lakers would reach this point? I am the only one, Sir Charles!" Charles Barkley said with a very proud expression: "This is the vision of a senior host and commentator.
These people still need to learn more! Haha!" This "certain people" is, of course, the "Big Shark" O'Neal.
Because O'Neal once predicted before the start of this series that the Lakers and the Spurs are not on the same level at all. If the San Antonio people want to advance to the next round, they only need 4 games. This sounds like to Tang Qian,
I admired the correctness of the original time and space, but at the same time I was slightly unhappy with the arbitrariness of "Ao Pang". However, this set of remarks was recognized and supported by many people at the time.
Among them are experts, journalists, and professional players.
Except for Charles Barkley, he is the representative of the "minority".
Not only because I like Tang Qian, but also because I want to fight with O'Neal.
So he "asserted" at that time that this series was not that simple, and a 4-0 sweep was even more nonsense.
In the first two games, he felt that he was hanging by a thread and was about to be "slapped in the face." But he didn't know that the situation would suddenly change later. The Lakers actually pushed the powerful San Antonio Spurs to this level. This was really unexpected. But
His face couldn't be shown like this, so Charles Barkley took the opportunity to be complacent, with an expression that said "labor and management had anticipated this", which made Shaquille O'Neal, who was sitting second, extremely depressed.
"Shaq, didn't you say that the Lakers are vulnerable? It's Game 7 now. Do you have anything else to say? I'm all ears!" Barkley couldn't help but said to O'Neal, with a tone of voice.
Even if they are two places apart, the latter can feel it "clearly".
This guy is a villain!
O'Neal cursed secretly in his heart, but still said: "I admit that I didn't expect Los Angeles to have this kind of resilience. It is already unexpected that it can do this despite the lack of leaders. If I were the owner of the Lakers, I would
We can reward each of them with a thousand dollars to encourage them." Unexpectedly, Barkley said: "Is this thousand dollars still needed? It is no different now than it was back then. Now the bonus for entering the first round of the playoffs has been increased.
It’s close to 200,000 US dollars, and it’s going to be even higher in the future! Fortunately you’re not the owner of the Lakers, otherwise I, as a player, would secretly call you a ‘cheapskate’!”
This damn fat guy!
O'Neal thought to himself, but he never thought that he was not qualified to say this, because he himself is now a "fat man", even much fatter than Barkley, a fat man.
"Besides, why the Lakers don't have a leader? Didn't Mike D'Antoni say that? The leader of the Lakers is hot now! Haven't you watched the recent post-game report? Shaq, this is about you. As a professional
Sports media people are still different from those in the player era. They need to read more and read more, so as not to be left behind by the times. Do you think I am right?" Barkley turned to Miller and Kenny beside him.
Smith said.
Kenny Smith thought for a while, but did not give too much face to his "old partner" and said: "Tang's recent games have indeed been eye-catching, especially the fifth game, which can be called a perfect performance, but D'Antoni's remarks are still too much."
Why can't he stay in New York for a long time? If Jeremy Lin is promoted to the leadership position, what will happen to the original big-name star? Anyway, I was in the Rockets back then, and whether Olajuwon was there or not, we couldn't say such things.
Yes, Mr. Tomjanovich would not agree." Before Barkley could speak, Reggie Miller also said: "Yes, he played well, but some of D'Antoni's remarks are not helping him.
, but it is harming him. After all, everyone on earth knows who the boss of the Lakers is. To say this forcefully may seem like flattery, but it is actually not very beneficial to Teng's future survival in the Lakers."
Hearing this, O'Neal seemed to have found a "like-minded person" and immediately followed: "I think so too. The position of the leader can be determined in one game? Isn't it too easy to be the leader of the Lakers? You know
When I took the position of the team leader, it took a lot of hard work to succeed. I believe that everyone must be like this too! And..." O'Neal looked at the data on the tablet and said: "
In the first six games, he averaged 11 points per game. After deducting his extraordinary performance in the fifth game, he only averaged 4.6 points per game. Let me ask, is there such a leader and boss?"
Barkley immediately became dissatisfied and jumped out: "You only focus on other people's scores, why don't you look at the average rebounds and blocks per game? 19 rebounds per game, 6.6 blocks per game, this kind of thing
Data, how many insiders are there in the league now who can play? I'm afraid even you, even 'Shark' O'Neal can't do it, right?" When O'Neal heard this, he said without hesitation: "I am averaging per game in the playoffs.
A man with 24.3+11.6+2.1+2.6, who has countless career highlight series, are you comparing me to him? Do you think he is qualified now?"
"Let's wait until he reaches the league status of Mutombo and Ben Wallace!"
