Now everyone knows that the tide is over, and if you want to turn the tide, you must have the capital.
Now that the offense is extremely weak, can the Lakers beat the San Antonio Spurs who are firing on all cylinders?
The answer is well known to the Purple and Gold Legion.
Mike D'Antoni tried to say some motivational words, but the substitute players are substitute players after all, and he is a "half-way monk" monk. The entire team has not integrated into its own tactical system and wants to play like Popovich.
On the bench, Mike D'Antoni thinks he doesn't have that ability.
Besides, I had already successfully "innovated" the team last time, and it would be extremely difficult to replicate it now.
The same words will not produce the same effect.
G7, alas, after the battle so far, the entire Lakers team has been exhausted, and no matter how hard they try, they are all empty shells.
Just when D'Antoni was about to play for a while and then make substitutions, an oriental figure stood up on the Lakers bench and said: "We want to win! Cheer up! We must win!" It's a pity that these words were said.
, the response given now is not much, only sparse voices pop out.
This is the morale situation of the Lakers at the moment. Everyone's desire to win is gradually disappearing.
In the T.N.T live broadcast room, O'Neill said:
"It's a sure loss. This is a G7 game that may be a bloodbath. The Lakers simply can't resist the San Antonio Spurs, who are really serious. The veteran Tim Duncan gave them a perfect education lesson."
Hearing this, Kenny Smith also said: "I have always believed that the Spurs are the most stable team in the past 20 years. When I was playing, it was Tim Duncan and Popovich, right? What about now? I don't think so.
After wearing suits and ties for so many years, Tim Duncan and Popovich are still the same. These two guys are really a guarantee of long-term prosperity. It is surprising that the Lakers can play like this, but after all, they are hard power.
There is a gap.”
In fact, what Kenny Smith said is a bit wrong, but it is harmless. American commentators often make such small mistakes.
"It's just that G7 was bloodbathed, which is a bit unpleasant. I thought it would at least be until the sky is dark and the earth is dark!" Reggie Miller said.
"Charles, do you still think the Lakers can create a miracle?" O'Neal asked vindictively.
"Of course, the basketball is round!" Charles Barkley said with a smile on his face: "Old people like you who no longer have dreams, how can you understand the charm of miracles? Before Tracy McGrady was 35 seconds and 13 minutes away, do you dare to believe that someone was in the middle of the half?
Can you score 13 points in a row within minutes? And you, Reggie, weren't your Miller moments back then also a sign of miracles? So I believe...well, the Lakers will not die so ugly!" Originally
He wanted to say, "I believe the Lakers can make a comeback," but when the words came to his lips, Barkley modified it slightly.
"Charles, it's not that we don't believe in miracles, it's just that miracles require certain strength to support them. Who can bring this possibility to the Lakers team now? Are you still counting on China to get hot?" Kenny.
Smith said: "Chinese Perm is indeed very strong, and my impression of him has greatly improved now. But chasing points is really not his strong point, is it?"
Barkley argued: "Don't forget what happened in the second half of G5. He scored 43 points by himself! This is still the current NBA playoff half-time scoring record!" "That kind of thing is too rare!" Reggie
Miller said: "I guess it would be too much if I had to do it again. So in a word, surprise is surprise, magic is magic, but making it routine is a bit too whimsical."
"The Lakers are currently extremely short of independent offensive points. They don't have Kobe, Nash, Howard, or even Ci Shiping and Jamison. How do you expect them to counterattack? SO, I still say the same thing, the Lakers can beat the Spurs
This has already made me unexpected and surprised. No matter how much I ask for, it can only be an extravagant request."
…
"Damn it! Another one was pulled out and beaten!" Tang Qian was anxious and angry when he saw the Spurs hit a layup, but as a matter of fact, there is no way he can save himself now. At least Tang Qian now,
Can't do this.
Seeing the score difference getting bigger and bigger, Duncan finally showed a trace of relief on his face and said: "Boy Dongfang, I know you are not convinced, but there is no way. This is reality. Basketball is always a game of five people."
After that, he changed the topic and said: "If you want to be in a winning environment all the time, then... come to San Antonio. If nothing else, you can almost guarantee the playoffs every year here.
"
Tang Qian was a little annoyed. He looked at Spurs No. 21 and blurted out: "You can come if you want, otherwise there is no need to seduce me!"
"Hot, Garnett once said to LeBron James, don't let your loyalty harm you, and I will tell you the same now. Because when you get older, you will understand that everything is secondary.
Only honor is the most solid and powerful. If you only rely on enthusiasm and blood, you will not be able to enter the field of success in the end. So don't let certain fixed thinking harm you." No. 21 of the Spurs said.
.
Hearing this, Tang Qian suddenly raised his head and said to Holy City No. 21: "Really? Since there are so many disadvantages to loyalty, why don't you leave San Antonio?" Duncan smiled and said, "I have considered it.
I'm getting by, but all things considered, it's best to stay here, because what I want most is a championship ring."
Duncan is not lying. In fact, after the end of the 1999 season, due to the decline of David Robinson, the young Duncan did have his thoughts on going to the Magic. He later admitted this personally, so there is no need to doubt the authenticity. However, because many
Factors, he finally chose to "shrink his hands". It's hard to imagine that when Duncan left the Spurs and jumped ship to the Magic, he would still have the "Stone Buddha" today, the No. 1 PF in history. But history has proved one thing, the Magic
The back of the team is rapidly declining, and it is just a weakling. Even if Duncan joins it, it will definitely not become a strong team that competes for championships every year.
Therefore, it is quite correct to say that Tim Duncan stayed behind.
But similarly, there are also examples of failure. For example, the KG Kevin Garnett I just mentioned stayed with the Timberwolves for ten years, but what did he get? He got a lot, including the best team and the best defensive team.
, rebounding champion, best defensive player, All-Star team, and even the highest honor of the regular season, MVP. But what about the ring? What about the Larry O'Brien Trophy?
No time in sight.
Maybe if he stays with the Timberwolves, he can continue to be the boss and continue to get maximum salary and generous contracts, but he may never have the highest honor of an NBA athlete. And where will the stars who have not won the championship be ranked at the end?
The best example is "The Postman" Karl Malone. He also has a long career and a strong career honors. Even just looking at the MVP, Malone has one more MVP than Garnett. But when did we mention super giant players?
Over him? When it comes to Karl Malone, the most common argument seems to be that he is "the player with the highest status in history", but what happens next? Then there is no more.
If he can add an FMVP to his honorary bag, then needless to say, he can at least be ranked behind Olajuwon. He will not be in the top 15 in history, but now... Unfortunately, he may not be in the top 20.
This person. This is the tragedy of the lack of a ring or FMVP. With Karl Malone sitting in front of him, Garnett finally chose to leave, which was also a helpless move.
As a fan, you may not have such a strong pursuit, but for athletes, championship is definitely the highest honor. If you retire without a championship in your life, the regret will be lingering forever. Otherwise, you would think Malone would stay in Salt Lake City.
After 18 years, why did he have to lose his guarantee at the end of the last year? Forced to go to the Lakers to "join up"?
Isn't it because the desire for the championship trumps everything else?
Therefore, as the saying goes, staying behind is a matter of affection and not staying behind is a duty. This is a business alliance and there is nothing wrong with it.
So regarding "Decision One" of "James King", Tang Qian believes that although there is nothing to brag about, there is nothing to be shady about. It is normal business behavior and it is just striving for one's own best interests. But "Decision Two", hehe
, that’s different.
"It's easy to talk about what you want to do and what you do, can you equate it?" Tang Qian looked at Spurs No. 21 Tim Duncan and said: "The American police will not kill people and set fire just because you want to."
Shall we sentence you to jail and then go to jail? After all, this world is still a material world, and in the end, what we only care about is the results."
"Most of the time, the process is for yourself."
"So..." Tang Qian suddenly said something that was still fresh in Duncan's memory: "I want to be my own thigh! I want to be my own king!"
"If you want to play ball with me, you can only join me! This is the only choice!"
"Otherwise, we are all opponents and enemies!!!"
"Boy Dongfang, you are so stubborn, you will regret it in the future." Before Duncan could finish speaking, Tang Qian's rhetorical question came, "Then let me ask you, Tim, do you regret your choice to stay?
"Duncan was stunned and did not answer immediately. The latter immediately vomited: "Since you don't regret it and are even a little lucky, why do I have to regret it?"
"you……"
Tang Qian waved his hand to interrupt Duncan and said directly: "As I said before, if you want to play ball with me, then join me. Otherwise, you will be the enemy and the one I want to knock down!" Duncan smiled when he heard this.
, his eyes glanced at the former, and said half mockingly: "With the way you are now, who can you knock down?"
"It seems that you are indeed very stubborn. If I don't defeat you, I won't be able to talk to you properly." Duncan said, "Then let's defeat you first."
"Anyway, it's something that comes easily."
The Spurs scored another goal. The goal was scored by the Spurs' No. 21, Tim Duncan. Taking advantage of Tang Qian's failure to save in time, Duncan raised his hand and made a mid-range shot.
High wing shot.
Brush~The Spurs' lead expanded to 30 points.
Within a few minutes, the second quarter was about to end, and they were ahead by 30 points. This was almost a certainty, dooming the Lakers' final outcome. Because there was only one time in NBA history that a 30-point comeback was attempted. That was last year's Lakers.
In the sixth game of the playoffs between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Oklahoma City Thunder, the Lakers united as one to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 106-102, dragging the game into a "tiebreak". Then the biggest reversal in the playoffs was the Clippers VS Grays
The Bears scored 27 points. And coincidentally, it also happened in last year's playoffs.
This pair of "brothers from the same city" in Los Angeles staged a desperate counterattack in last year's playoffs.
But there is a problem, that is, last year's Lakers team had complete personnel and a neat lineup, so they were able to create this history. Do the current Lakers still have this strength?
The answer is obvious.
So the fans in the Holy City have already started cheering for "promotion".
Tang Qian looked at the scorer and his eyes were a little red, but what really made him "red" was a "hardcore fan" in the front row of the Spurs holding up a sign in his hand and saying: "Go back! You
This soup-filled chaos! The basketball court is not the place for you yellow-skinned people!"
When Tang Qian heard this, he stared in a direction below the basket and said, "What did you say?"
Seeing Tang Qian respond to him, this "true fan" of the Spurs became even more excited and said: "I told you to stop crying! Basketball is a dangerous sport and is not suitable for yellow people! But I will tell you later.
I’ll give you a ‘fortune cookie’ to comfort your fragile heart! Hahahaha!”
"Fortune Cookies" may not be known to many domestic fans, but certainly everyone in the United States knows it. Because in the United States, it is almost an exclusive word that represents Chinese culture. Because in Chinese restaurants in the United States,
After the meal, a piece of this kind of cookie, called a "fortune cookie", will be distributed symbolically. Yao Ming received this kind of "special treatment" in the first game of his rookie season in Miami when he was distributed in public at the American Airlines Arena
Thousands of so-called "fortune cookies".
Yao Ming once said publicly that this is an insulting behavior, and Americans may not understand that in China, we do not have any so-called "fortune cookies". Therefore, "fortune cookies" are completely "American"
"Made in China". Just like saying "dumplings" and "chaos" to the Chinese, sometimes it is a nakedly malicious word.
Tang Qian didn't feel it before, but now that he has come to the United States alone, he feels this scene even more. What is racial discrimination? The United States of America is the largest racial discrimination region, and there is no other place in the world. Here, both blacks and whites discriminate against yellow people.
, as if they had found a common target of humiliation.
The bad nature of human beings can be seen at a glance.
Jeremy Lin once said that playing in the United States for yellow people is a mental and physical torture. Tang Qian did not understand it before, but now that he has come to the United States, he can feel the same.
To deal with this kind of people, you can only use the words of "Brother Long": Beat them! Beat them hard! Only if you scare them by beating them, will they look at you equally and think highly of you! Never expect their conscience to notice!
Tang Qian closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he suddenly shouted loudly at the Spurs fan: "You will be the instigator of the Spurs' desperate situation tonight!"
"I'll let you know how I should play next!"
"And all this is thanks to you!"
"Fortune cookies? I will buy you ten buckets after you win, and then pour them into your mouth one by one! Let you eat all you can!!!"
