Due to Tang Qian's absence in the past few days, the Los Angeles Defenders stopped their winning streak and they lost to their old rival Santa Cruz Warriors.
In this way, the defenders' defeats increased to two.
"Don, it's great to have you back. You don't know. After getting used to playing with you, I can't stand Brandon's idiotic style of play. He is so far behind you on the playing field!" Man
Neil Harris vented his bitterness.
"Yeah, it feels really bad to have Brandon and Gamario inside. It makes me completely unable to trust the inside!" Andre Ingram also said.
"This is not the most important thing. Guys, if Hot Money was here that night, how could he be scored 40 points by that old guy Marcus Fizer? Hot, Brandon and Gamario plus two
It's not even as good as one of your toes!" Especially the Defenders' shooting guard Kareem Rush, whose "resentment" was particularly deep.
"Khan, is it such an exaggeration? Karim?" Tang Qian was a little embarrassed and scratched the back of his head.
"Aha~ Hot, mainly because Kareem only scored 2 points that night, that's why he was so resentful, haha~" Manny Harris joked.
"Fuck you! Manny, I only scored 2 points. Isn't it because you didn't pass the ball to me? I had so many open spaces last night. How many passes did I get? One, only one was good.
???It’s so fucked up!!!”
"Hey, Karim, how can you blame me? The tactic Mr. Hubbard designed for you was originally a pass from inside to outside. If you want to blame, just blame the insiders of the team that night. It has nothing to do with me."
"Damn Brandon and Gamario, they didn't pass the ball to me the whole night. I'm so angry!!!" Kareem Rush said with deep resentment.
"So that's what it looks like." Tang Qian smiled and said, "Don't worry, Karim, I'll let you have a great time voting tonight! But you have to be on time."
After hearing Tang Qian's promise, Karim Rush, who looked "resentful" at first, suddenly smiled and said: "Tang, you can't deceive me. I am the easiest person to trust others."
"I won't lie to you. All you need to do is make your right hand hot tonight, and I will take care of the rest."
"Yes~ That's great! Hot, you are my Steve and David!"
"Steve? David?" Tang Qian was stunned for a moment before reacting: "Are you talking about the 'Independence Day' movie? Oh my God, Karim, you really think highly of me!"
"Haha, hot, what you just said hit his G. point. Not to mention Steve and David, even President Thomas is willing to call them!"
…
At 7:30, the players of both teams had finished warming up. Tang Qian had heard a little bit about this Iowa Energy team.
Because 2010-2011 was the MVP last season, and he was on this team.
Curtis is a ** student who plays the role of small forward. He is 202cm tall and has excellent shooting and dribbling skills. He is considered a well-known figure in the entire NBDL league.
No wonder Andre Ingram has always looked down, presumably it was the reason why Curtis was born.
To face such a powerful person, Andre Ingram will be unbearable tonight.
"It's okay, Andre. Travis and I are on the inside, so you don't need to put too much pressure on him." Tang Qian patted Andre Ingram before the game started.
"Fang, you just came to NBDL, so you don't know how powerful this Curtis is." Andre Ingram's expression did not improve much. Instead, his mouth turned bitter and he said, "He is
He is a promising candidate to enter the NBA this year. I heard that the Minnesota Timberwolves and Memphis Grizzlies are both interested in him."
"It's okay. No matter what happens in the future, he is still the same as us. He is an NBDL player. Since they are all NBDL players, what is there to be afraid of?" Tang Qian looked at the lean black man opposite and thought in his mind.
He said silently and vigilantly.
Game start.
The lineup of the Los Angeles Defenders tonight is: C Tang Qian, PF Travis Hyman, SF Andre Ingram, SG Kareem Rush, PG Manny Harris.
The starting five of the opposite Iowa Energy are: C Patrick, Christopher, PF Andrew Harrison, SF Curtis, SG Michael Harry, PG Rick Jackson.
Tang Qian stood on the side of the midline and looked at the white center in front of him, Patrick Christopher, a German, 209cm tall and 243 pounds in weight. He averaged 15.9 points and 8.7 rebounds per game last season.
, 0.9 blocks, 1.8 assists. From the data point of view, he should be a person with stronger offensive ability than defensive ability.
You should be able to handle it yourself without any problem.
Tang Qian thought about Patrick Christopher's personal information and said secretly in his heart.
Beep~
As soon as the referee threw the basketball, Tang Qian and Patrick Christopher took off at the same time, then straightened their right hands and swatted the basketball falling in the sky.
Obviously, Tang Qian's athletic ability and wingspan were superior to Patrick Christopher, so in the end, Tang Qian was the first to touch the orange basketball.
The Los Angeles Defenders got the offensive ball.
Manny Harris dribbles forward, and the person guarding him is Rick Jackson. There is not much height difference between the two, but Manny Harris is faster and more agile, so even if Rick Jackson is around
Blocking still doesn't pose much of a threat to the former.
With a fake move, Manny Harris got past Rick Jackson's defense and made a three-step layup, heading straight into the heart of Iowa's energy.
But he didn't succeed, because just when he was about to take action, a big black hand stole the basketball from his hand.
Then, it was a quick break with a single player, and with a "bang", he smashed the stolen basketball into the basket of the Los Angeles defender.
2-0, Iowa Energy takes the lead!
"Damn it, this damn **student! Why did he strike so quickly!" After the mistake, Manny Harris said very annoyed.
He's very fast, and he knows the timing of stealing the ball very well. Is this last year's MVP?
The Defenders sent a baseline kick, and Manny Harris was a lot more cautious this time. However, due to his excessive caution, his organizational rhythm was slightly delayed. There were at least two or three good opportunities, but he did not get the chance in the first place.
Time passes the basketball.
When Manny Harris saw that the attack time was running out, he hurriedly passed the basketball to Andre Ingram on the other side. Andre Ingram did not expect that Manny Harris would pass the ball.
The ball was thrown, so there was a slight hesitation. It was this slight hesitation that allowed Mr. Curtis to seize the gap. Without hesitation, he pushed hard with his hind legs and rushed out like a cheetah.
No, not good!
Andre Ingram also reacted, but it was too late. Curtis, who started first, got in front of Andre Ingram and touched the basketball first.
Bang~
Another solo fast break dunk.
Only thirty or forty seconds into the game, Curtis scored 4 points and two dunks, undoubtedly giving the defenders a head start. This kind of powerful personal ability is really shocking.
.
"Shi.t~ Why is this guy so difficult to deal with? It seems like he wasn't so powerful last year, right? Damn it!!!" Manny Harris was "suppressed" twice at the beginning, and he couldn't help but be angry.
.
"Manny, pass the next ball quickly, Curtis. No matter how powerful a student is, there is only one person, so there is nothing to be afraid of." Tang Qian said.
"Well, I understand, but he is really stronger than last year. Last year, he didn't have such interception ability."
"Andre, it's all your fault tonight."
"Well, I will try my best, but don't have too high expectations for me." Facing last year's MVP, Andre Ingram obviously lacked confidence.
A full half of the quarter has passed, and the Defenders have only scored a "poor" 2 points. Looking at their opponent Iowa Energy, the score has already exceeded 10 and entered the 17-point mark.
The defender had no choice but to request a timeout.
"Everyone, remember, our strategy later is to play inside, try to get as close to the basket as possible, and reduce mid- and long-range jump shots!"
"Manny, don't be too clingy to the ball, otherwise Iowa's energy will easily be targeted!"
…
"Shit, how can this Mr. Curtis judge so accurately? It's like he can predict every passing route of mine in advance. Damn it, this is really damned!!!" Manny Harry
Si kept muttering in his mouth, and it was unclear how much of Phil Hubbard's instructions he had heard.
Tang Qian was also observing this Curtis. Although he had never played against the latter before, in just half a quarter, he left an impression on Tang Qian. The MVP of last season, he
His defensive predictions were very strong, but when Tang Qian looked at the opponent, he always had the feeling that he had just mastered this skill not long ago.
Although the defensive steals in the first half of the quarter were very eye-catching, Tang Qian always felt that he was showing some deliberateness inadvertently.
What did Manny say just now? He said that he did not have such interception ability last year... In this way, his guess must be correct. On the surface, he seems to have a very good sense of interception, but there is a price to pay.
of.
As long as he interrupts it, it will be difficult for him to maintain his keen sense of smell for breaking the ball.
…
"That's great, Curtis, your steal just now was so great. I bet those fools on the other side were already panicking, hahahaha~"
"It looks like, Curtis, there is no suspense for you to enter the NBA this year. This move just makes up for your original deficiencies on the defensive end."
"Yes, Curtis, if you enter the NBA, don't forget our brothers!"
"Haha, don't worry, everyone, I, Curtis, will definitely remember you all!"
…
When the Defenders attack, point guard Manny Harris is still dribbling the ball.
Just as Mr. Curtis was about to repeat his same trick and once again saw the opportunity to steal, a tall figure suddenly left the inside. Mr. Curtis looked at it and was a little surprised. He was
Why are you running out? A mid-range shot? Or do you want to do a pick-and-roll?
But I clearly remember that this Chinese center called Hot Money, his mid-range jump shot was not very good.
That means running out to screen for Manny Harris?
funny!
Even if his CIC ability is average, pulling out such a big guy to build a wall is simply a waste of martial arts!
I want to see how you can go back after you pull it out!
"Manny, let's go!"
After hearing Tang Qian's voice, Manny Harris immediately became energetic. Under the cover of Tang Qian's "wall of flesh", he effortlessly broke through Rick Jackson's defense, stepped on his feet, and rushed in again
Iowa Energy's penalty area.
Just when Mr. Curtis was concentrating and preparing to strike again at the moment of Manny Harris's layup, Manny Harris raised his hand and threw it, just like a basketball skater, not at all
It looks like a normal shooting trajectory.
Just when Curtis was confused, a huge black shadow rose into the sky from beside him, and then there was a "boom", and the Iowa Energy basketball stand suddenly screamed and trembled.
"Nice pass to Manny!" Tang Qian pointed at Manny Harris and said after falling from the basketball hoop.
"Of course!" Manny Harris also grinned loudly.
4-17, the defender scored a momentum goal!
"The movement speed of that Easterner... is really not bad. I was wrong in my estimation." Curtis, the leading player of Iowa Energy, said.
"Sorry, Curtis, I was too careless. I thought he would move very slowly for such a big size, but I didn't expect..." Iowa Energy starting center Patrick Christopher said.
Mr. Curtis glanced at Tang Qian's number and said, "It doesn't matter. Just pay attention to that kind of ball. Although the dunk is good, it's a pity that it only counts 2 points. It's not a big deal."
"Well, I will pay close attention to the next game." Patrick Christopher promised.
This is one of the few positional battles that has occurred so far in today's game, and friends who play basketball know that positional battles are when the center's inside position can truly show its power.
"Boy Dongfang, I'm going to fight you alone, don't be afraid!" Patrick Christopher got into position and then spat trash talk at Tang Qian behind him.
"Did you say that wrong?" Tang Qian stood up to Patrick Christopher and said in a calm voice: "The correct statement is that I am going to defend you, so don't be afraid."
"What??? You arrogant oriental monkey!!!" Patrick Christopher did not expect that Tang Qian, who looked "gentle" on the outside, was not vague at all when talking trash.
"You know, you are like the little gorilla Duoduo, your mouth is full of noise."
"Little, little orangutan Duoduo?" Of course Patrick Christopher knew that Tang Qian was mocking him, because little orangutan Duoduo is a domestic animation in Germany, and the protagonist, little orangutan Duoduo, likes to imitate various kinds of things.
It is famous for all kinds of noises. So the meaning of what Tang Qian just said is clear at a glance.
"Oriental Monkey, how dare you insult me? You are finished!"
Patrick Christopher received the ball, yelled, and was about to hit Tang Qian in singles.
Of course, Tang Qian fully accepted this idiot who overestimated his abilities. With his current defensive skills and five crystal bricks, he was enough to suppress most of the NBDL players. Besides, this poor Patrick Christopher, in Tang Qian's case,
Subtly speaking, it is an average level. If the former wants to beat himself hard, it is not too difficult.
"Look how I beat you!!!"
The information level of the NBDL is far inferior to that of the NBA, so many players do not know the details of the opponent if they have not played against each other directly. Patrick Christopher thinks that his offensive ability is pretty good in the NBDL league.
How could it be too difficult to deal with an Oriental? He's not Yao Ming, right?
Patrick Christopher stood on one side, with a standard center forward posture. He hit Tang Qian hard, and then got up habitually and hooked. This is Patrick Christopher's routine in the NBDL.
Scoring means, generally speaking, the success rate is not too bad.
But unfortunately, he met Tang Qian.
Faced with this simple attack method, how could Tang Qian let him go so easily? With a tap of his feet, his huge body immediately jumped into the air, and without much thought, he blocked a shot loudly.
Snapped!
"Nice cover, hot!" Manny Harris praised after bending down to pick up the basketball. Then without stopping at all, he dribbled the ball towards the opponent's half at high speed.
After successfully passing Rick Jackson, Manny Harris prepared for a solo layup.
"I won't let you succeed." Mr. Curtis rushed back to Iowa Energy's inside line first. He is taller than Manny Harris, so he has a certain advantage in defense.
And one on one, he was quite confident and cut the basketball directly from Manny Harris's hand.
"Hey, do you think I will confront you head-on? Don't forget, my position is PG." After Manny Harris said this, he made an astonishing move. He faced Curtis
.**Sheng's defense showed no intention of slowing down. The referee stared closely at Manny Harris, as if he would be whistled for a collision with the ball at any time.
Is this guy trying to hit you hard? He doesn’t slow down at all??? What a bastard!!! In this case, I’ll give you an offensive foul!!!
Mr. Curtis was thinking about it, but the next second, he noticed something unusual.
Manny Harris, who was traveling at high speed, actually passed by him? He, what did he want to do? At that angle, he should have lost the space to take action, right? Why...wait, wait...he
, where is the basketball in his hand...
The basketball is missing???
While Mr. Curtis was in shock and confusion, a strong wind suddenly blew the tips of his forehead. Mr. Curtis raised his eyes and saw a reflection that was getting bigger and bigger in his eyes.
Hair clearly.
This face is...
Boom~
Iowa's energy basket exploded again.
Mr. Curtis was knocked far away by the huge force, and finally fell on the basketball stand, which stopped his retreat.
Beep beep~
"Blocking foul, goal count, plus one penalty goal!"
Damn it! Where did this Oriental guy come from? Why is he running so fast?
Wasn't he in the backcourt just now?
What a hell!
Curtis ** was unjustly hit with this ball. Because all his attention was on Manny Harris, he didn't react at all after Tang Qian took off and made an alley-oop. And because he
He stood with one foot within the reasonable collision zone. According to the rules, he had to take off on the spot. Otherwise, once there was physical contact with Tang Qian, it would be inevitable to be called for a blocking foul.
"It's such a pity, Mr. **, how does it feel to be hit by our house? Isn't it great?" Manny Harris walked past Mr. Curtis and jeered in a low voice.
"Damn it! Don't be proud! I'll make you cry right away!" How could Mr. Curtis endure the ridicule of Manny Harris? In his opinion, the latter was just a second-rate player who was inferior to himself.
Not on the same level at all.
Bang~
It's a pity that Tang Qian's free throws were really not very good, so he missed this two-plus-one opportunity.
Tang Qian has nothing to do about this. Zhang Dashuai's free throw shooting percentage is at this level! His own free throw crystal brick has already been raised to the limit of nine yuan. Unfortunately, it is not the same. Zhang Dashuai has the highest one.
The season's free throw shooting percentage was only 61.3%! Tang Qian later took a look at Zhang Dashuai's free throw shooting percentage over the years. Among them, the 1967-1968 season was the most "crazy", with a shooting percentage of 38.0%, which made Tang Qian "speechless and choked."
.
You must know that this season, Dashuai Zhang has to go to the free throw line an average of 11.4 times every night. If he can make 70% to 80% of the shots, then his scoring that season will not be so "poor". Unfortunately,
Zhang Dashuai's performance at the free throw line really reassured his opponents. He took 11.4 "huge" shots, but could only get 4.3 goals. In this way, he really deserves to be beaten by his opponents!
Every time Tang Qian sees this statistic, he feels "heartbroken". He obviously has very strong mid-range shooting skills, but why does he become "shooting at random" and "watching the sky while eating" as soon as he steps to the free throw line? I can't understand.
I really can’t understand it!!!
"Rick, give me the ball when you get there, I'm going to blow up that Manny Harris!" Curtis said with anger in his eyes.
"Okay, no problem." Rick Jackson was still very relieved about Mr. Curtis's personal ability.
Rick Jackson pushed the basketball into the defender's half, and then made a hand-to-hand pass with Mr. Curtis. After the latter took the basketball, Rick Jackson immediately ran and immediately
He pulled away a defender beside Mr. Curtis.
And coincidentally, the remaining opponent became the Defenders' point guard Manny Harris.
"Do you think you can guard me?" Mr. Curtis showed a cruel smile, and then without looking at Manny Harris, he jumped up and took action in the air.
In the astonished gaze of Manny Harris, the orange-red basketball drew a beautiful arc and hit the net with a "swipe" sound.
"The answer is impossible."
Mr. Curtis sneered at Manny Harris, then turned around and ran back to the Iowa Energy half.
"This stinky guy is so arrogant!"
Manny Harris said very frustrated.
It turns out that he still has a certain three-point ability. This Curtis.** student is not in vain.
For the next ball, Manny Harris chose to play singles by himself. Unfortunately, his ability to protect the ball still needs to be improved. The moment he dribbled through, he was blocked by Curtis.
I want this ball!
Curtis ** was ready to perform the drama of destroying the basket again, but this time, Tang Qian did not agree.
Tang Qian is obviously more than 10 centimeters taller than Curtis. But his sprint speed is still superior. Especially in short-distance acceleration, the advantage is even more obvious, so this shot by Curtis.*
* Sheng Ben wanted to take off first, but was forced down by Tang Qian's big palm.
"Hey, MVP."
"In my restricted area, you'd better fly less."
"Otherwise, that goal just now was the result."
Tang Qian said softly and calmly after landing.
PS: Most of the names of the Iowa Energy are real, just not from the 2011-2012 class.
Finally, it’s the same old thing again, Xiao Zi is rolling around, begging for collection, begging for recommendations~
