Congratulations to Kobe Bryant for winning this week's Western Conference Player of the Week. - NBA official website.
Averaged 42 points per game in 5 games! Horrible data! This does not include the 60 points against the Rockets yesterday! - Los Angeles Times.
I think Kobe had his Achilles tendon swapped with God! Who was the doctor who performed the surgery on him? This guy is definitely going to be popular! - Bleachers.
Crazy bloodbath in Houston! 60 points in 30 minutes! Kobe Bryant said personally that his goal this season is the O'Brien Cup! - Lakers Nation.
Howard was absent from the post-game press conference, and a source familiar with the matter revealed that "Warcraft" almost smashed his locker! - Lakers Nation.
Super buckle! I think this scene is so cool! Howard, didn't you say it would never happen a second time? You probably have to break your promise again. - FOX Sports.
Moses Malone believed that the Chinese Football Team dominated the Warcraft in this game. Although Howard scored a lot, it was all when the Football Team was not on the court. - T.N.T reporter Kate Marin.
Kobe leads the scoring list, rebounds and blocks! The Lakers have undergone amazing changes this season! - T.N.T official website.
The Lakers are not a strong team! Except for Kobe and Paul, everyone else has holes. As long as the league teams react, they will stop them from continuing their winning streak! - ESPN.
Kobe is overdrawing himself in advance. Except for two garbage time games, he has played more than 40 minutes. I assert that Kobe will be troubled by injuries in the middle of this season! - ESPN expert Royce Webb.
Data analysis shows that the Lakers' ball conduction is last in the league. They rely too much on individual ability to play the ball in isolation! This is difficult to sustain! - ESPN data expert Amin Elhassan posted on Twitter.
Kobe didn't bother to pay attention to this kind of thing. His attention was now completely focused on the court.
More than ever, we need to be more focused.
Tang Qian did not go out with anyone after the game. Although he received several calls, the Lakers declined on the 29th because the team still had back-to-back games to play tomorrow. The opponent was not strong, but they should not be taken lightly.
The Lakers seem to have a good record at the moment, but there are still many problems.
Some of ESPN's data analysis is not completely without reference.
On November 8, 2013, U.S. time, the Lakers challenged the New Orleans Rams away from home. This team is a new team this season. There is a talented insider in the lineup, Anthony Davis. Compared with the first year, this team
Davis has made great progress this season. His scoring average currently exceeds 20+, and he can also get 10+ rebounds and 3+ blocks. This data is a perfect combination of offense and defense.
But unfortunately, he met Tang Qian.
Tang Qian's offense is not as good as him without the No. 1 position to deliver cannonballs, but he can't even think about scoring any goals under Tang Qian's defense. Again, averaging 20+ per game, too weak. He just met a quasi-first-class scorer.
On the side, Tang Qian can now easily suppress scorers of this level. Let’s talk about rebounds, not to mention, the difference is huge, 10+ rebounds? Tang Qian’s average rebounds per game is estimated to be almost twice that of him! The same goes for blocks, currently 3
+? Tang Qian currently averages 7+ blocks per game! He is far ahead of the second place by 4+, several positions!
Everyone knows that at the beginning of the season, the data will be on the high side because he is full of physical energy, but the average data per game will basically gradually decrease. Therefore, Davis currently has 3+ blocks, but by the end of the season, he will definitely not be able to reach 3+.
It is certain that it will drop to 2+. Therefore, many people think that Tang Qian's current blocking data is artificially high, which is not an exaggeration. In the future, it will drop to 5+4+, which is almost the limit.
However, it would be a big mistake to apply this method to Tang Qian.
By the middle of the season, he will surprise everyone!
Anthony Davis felt very frustrated in this game. He only made 1 of 8 shots from the inside in the first half. If he hadn't fought hard for 2 free throws, he probably wouldn't have gotten 4 points, let alone rebounds.
, was directly grabbed by his opponent, he only got 2, and his opponent got 4 times as many as him. Of course, this is the reason why the base number is too small. Tang Qian's 8 rebounds were also because he spent most of the second quarter
They all sit on the bench, otherwise it is very likely to make "Brother Big Eyebrow" even more depressed.
He has the ability to rebound 10+ points, weighs 220 pounds, and is not tall enough. It would be strange if he doesn't suffer a loss against Tang Qian.
You must know that his weight revealed by the team in the 2014-2015 season was only 237 pounds. This was the result of gaining 17 pounds in the summer. In the 2013-14 season, 220 pounds was really normal. Unfortunately, Tang Qian has completely gotten rid of the word thin now.
, with a weight of 268~269 pounds, it cannot be said to be strong, but it is normal to strong. "Thick Eyebrow" is almost 40 pounds lighter than Tang Qian, so he was suppressed very hard by the whole audience.
There is no other way. In order to score, Anthony Davis can only attack outside the penalty area. Fortunately, his shooting is not bad among the big men, which saves a little face for his scoring data column. But the main inside shot floats outside.
, which means that the offensive rebounds are completely gone, so don’t think too much about it. Besides, this is not a conventional weapon of "Brother Big Eyebrow". If you use it too much, the shooting rate will not be too high, it is better than not scoring any points.
And if you let a non-big man go outside to focus on shooting, unless he is the "King of Nuo", the defense has basically been successful. The lethality and threat will be greatly reduced.
Davis played very tangledly in this game. The Pelicans were originally a weak team. He was the only main scorer. Now he was completely blocked inside. He only scored 15 points in the whole game, which was 4 points in garbage time.
Get it. Otherwise, it will only look more ugly. But "Brother with Thick Eyebrows" is still young, and he is likely to evolve into a superstar in the future. Everything depends on his growth rate and a little bit of luck.
However, this season, he is not qualified to defeat Tang Qian.
Tang Qian restricted Anthony Davis, and the rest was easy to handle. Kobe faced Eric Gordon and easily defeated him. The game ended with 39 points, and the battle ended in another 32 minutes, and he clocked out.
.This Lakers team is playing at a fast pace now. After all, it is a team coached by Mike D'Antoni. No matter how bad it is, the offense will not be bad.
There are more rounds and it’s easier to collect data, which is also a good thing that looks good.
But it's not that easy to win the championship, because some teams have begun to seriously analyze the Lakers and formulate comprehensive countermeasures.
In the 8th game of the regular season, the Lakers suffered a "Waterloo". Under Rick Adelman's Princeton style of play, the Lakers suffered a multi-position defeat. Because this Timberwolves team has the ability to score in multiple positions, mainly
It's a long shot. The arrival of Kevin Martin helped the Timberwolves add 20+ scoring points. Coupled with the "Big White Bear" Nikola Pekovic guarding the inside, the Timberwolves' offense this season ranks among the top in the league.
Well, the points allowed are also among the top in the league, similar to the Lakers last season.
Even if you can score goals, you can't guard anyone.
Under the Princeton system, the strength of the substitute team and bench will also be stimulated. In this way, Adelman's instructions are to attack the Lakers, increase offensive and defensive transitions, and try not to lose ground. The main thing is to play PF, PG, and SF.
These three positions avoid Kobe and Tang Qian. Logically speaking, the Timberwolves' current record is not as good as the Lakers' and their strength is also very weak. But Adelman really made the right bet. As long as a large number of offensive and defensive transitions are added, the Lakers'
The defensive system will become weaker and weaker.
Yes, Kobe is very strong and can basically lock down the attackers in front of him. Tang Qian is also very strong and is an absolute barrier inside.
But basketball is played by five people. If Kobe is strong, you can only guard one. If I don't go, you will be on your side. If I go, I will all use pick-and-roll and screen play. To deal with the Lakers' inside line, Adelman adopted and
Dallas did the same thing that day, using power forward Kevin Love to shoot outside the penalty area and see what the Lakers can do.
If you come out, I'll put it in. Jordan Hill is far behind Pekovic in terms of weight and height. Moreover, this season is Pekovic's peak season, averaging more than 17 points per game.
, at this level, Jordan Hill cannot stop him.
It's not surprising that Kobe keeps scoring goals and can't stop them, but Adelman doesn't care at all. In this game, he just wants to use offense to attack, use the team to score, and defeat the opponent. This is also one of the true meanings of Princeton's tactics.
He believes the Timberwolves' five positions are more balanced and have fewer holes.
In the end, the Timberwolves narrowly defeated the Lakers 112-108, a 4-point victory. Kobe Bryant scored 56 points in this game, but it was of no use, because if you lose, you lose. The Lakers were beaten in all three positions, and Tang Qian also
Struggled between defending shots and defending the basket.
Tang Qian's statistics in this game were good, but looking at his role on the court, he actually struggled a bit.
There were so many loopholes that he couldn't possibly fix them all by himself.
The next day, it was another back-to-back, the Lakers faced the Pelicans at home, and unexpectedly, they lost another game.
Regular season rankings dropped to third place in the Western Conference.
Why did they lose to the Pelicans? In fact, it is still a defensive problem. There are too many offensive and defensive transitions and the offensive rhythm is too fast. Your own points will increase, and the same opponent's data will also increase accordingly. And after demonstrations by the Mavericks and Timberwolves,
The Pelicans also followed suit and began to increase offensive and defensive rounds, use transitions, and reduce positional battles. In addition, the team felt good and narrowly defeated the Lakers by 1 point.
Kobe Bryant scored 49 points, but still became a bubble, pale and feeble.
With 6 wins and 3 losses, the Lakers' record continues to decline.
This finally gave ESPN a chance to vent. Without waiting for the next day, someone posted an article that night:
The Lakers are starting to get discouraged and their lineup problems are highlighted!
You can't even beat the Timberwolves and Pelicans, but you still have the nerve to say you want to win the championship?
Kobe took too many shots! He hurt the team! According to Lakers insider reports, many players began to be dissatisfied with him!
Experts pointed out that the Lakers are likely to collapse in one breath, and their playing style has been thoroughly studied by their opponents!
This made the Lakers very angry on the 24th. He broke out in the locker room that night, but scolding these "mercenaries" did not effectively stimulate their desire to fight, but instead made their morale even lower. Think about it, everyone is probably next year.
He is about to leave, perhaps to play for another team. Why should he go all out and play to his death?
This is not the same Lakers team that went to the Finals three times and won two championships. They don't have that kind of team belief and desire to win.
For most of the players on the current Lakers team, it would be best if they can win, but it doesn't matter if they can't win. Their inner ups and downs will not be too great.
This is a lack of sense of identity and honor for the team. Too many "mercenaries" can easily lead to such a situation.
Back home, as soon as Tang Qian opened the door, he found a figure rushing over. The familiar touch and smell of perfume were naturally Taylor Swift. As for why Taylor appeared in Tang Qian's home, it was because of this house.
, the original rightful owner was the latter, it was not surprising that she could come in and she had the key.
Tang Qian could politely refuse other people through phone calls and text messages, but he could not refuse Taylor Swift who "broke in" directly.
"Don~Happy birthday!!!Happy~birthday~~~"
Even in Europe and the United States, it is extremely rare for Taylor to look like a little bird when she puts on high heels, and Tang Qian is certainly one of them.
He hugged Taylor subconsciously without paying attention, and the warm touch made people feel comfortable for no reason.
Before he could adapt to the dim candlelight, Tang Qian felt that his lips were blocked. The feeling mixed with lipstick made him unprepared for a moment.
It was so sudden. Before entering, I was still worried about losing two games in a row. I didn't expect that I would be treated to "flaming red lips" as soon as I walked in.
That feeling makes men instinctively relax and feel comfortable.
This kiss was obviously longer than the last time. It wasn't until Tang Qian came back to his senses that he said in a daze: "You, Taylor, why are you here? Why are you, this, I..." "Today is yours."
For your birthday, I helped you make a simple decoration, what do you think? What do you think? Do you like it?" After Taylor and Tang Qian parted their lips, their femininity was fully displayed, that sexy evening dress, that exquisite makeup, that slightly shy and...
The charming look, coupled with the faint flickering candlelight, all make the man's male hormones rise rapidly.
Tang Qian even felt that at this moment he had the urge to "tear apart" the wonderful person in front of him.
It is said that sex can relieve people's soul and stress. Tang Qian's eyes almost glowed with "wolf light" at this moment.
But soon, he recovered, let go of Taylor in his arms, and then said with a wry smile: "Thank you, but why do you bother so much? Tell me in advance, we can go out to eat..."
Before he finished speaking, Taylor said: "What's more, you and I made a date for dinner a few days ago. Did you agree to it? If I don't come over by myself tonight, you will probably take a shower and go to sleep.
"Right?" Tang Qian's face turned red, because this was indeed his original plan. After being exposed, he could only think about it and said: "Well, then this is too grand. I, I, alas, I
How can you be so virtuous?"
Tang Qian has actually been trying to avoid these members of the opposite sex during this period, because after Karlie Klaus broke a window on a certain floor, he could no longer deceive himself and others. Therefore, hiding was the easiest thing that Tang Qian could think of at the moment.
Method.
He doesn't have time to worry about this.
His main goal is basketball, and this season is very important. He doesn't want to let it down, and he doesn't want to not get the best ending because of himself.
"How virtuous and capable are you? How virtuous and capable do you think you are?" Taylor said with some dissatisfaction: "If I don't take the initiative, are you ready to get along with someone else? Are you honest?" Tang Qian said
Stunned, before he could think of an answer, Taylor took out a miniature pendant, which was clearly what Karlie Kloss gave him that night. And since Klaus had been wearing this thing, Taylor didn't
Maybe I don’t know, maybe I haven’t seen it.
"Uh, I..." Tang Qian didn't know what to say. In fact, he felt that he didn't need to explain at all. After all, he and Taylor didn't have a special relationship, but he was too tough and he was afraid of irritating or hurting the woman in front of him.
.He actually couldn’t lie to himself. Among these people, he had the highest favorable impression of Taylor.
Maybe it's America's first good friend, maybe it's something else, so Tang Qian didn't know how to answer.
"I don't blame you, and I don't blame Carly. There are always people who like good things. Don't I also have a lot of suitors?" Taylor brushed the hair beside his ears, and his voice suddenly became extremely gentle: "But
I don’t like losing either, especially losing something I care about.”
Tang Qian looked at Taylor, a little at a loss, because he always felt that this was his illusion. How could such a big star like him? Don't be sentimental. But suddenly the matter was revealed, and Tang Qian was also a little dizzy.
It was heavy and muddy, and he didn't know how to answer or how he could answer.
"That little girl Carly actually learned to strike first. Hum, she really has a way. She is indeed my good friend and best friend, and she has really good taste!" Taylor suddenly said: "By the way, Tang, you and her
To what extent? You’ve already eaten her, right?”
"Have you eaten? Ah? No, no, no, no, no, there is no such thing." Tang Qian reacted and immediately shook his head.
"Really? I don't believe she will let you go! I know her very well! Don't lie to me! Look into my eyes!"
"Really not! She's just, she's just, oh, it's nothing, nothing." Tang Qian wanted to say, but he thought it would embarrass Klaus, so he offered to kiss him? Do you think he was acting in an idol drama? Wasn't this intentional?
Are you suspected of being pretentious?
"Hmph, you can guess it even without saying it. Since she is my best friend, she must have at least forcibly kissed you, right?" After Taylor finished speaking, he added: "Don, I don't care how far you and she are, now I
Now that we have taken action, there is no reason to retreat."
"Well, this is also the cross I have been carrying with me. Now hold it for you." Taylor is a Christian, so it is not unusual to have something like this close to him. "I, but..." Tang Qian said before he finished speaking.
Taylor raised her eyebrows and said, "Do you want the things she gave you, but you don't want the things I gave you?"
"I, that's not what I meant, oh, okay, okay." Tang Qian's mind was confused, and he finally accepted this "birthday gift". After seeing Tang Qian accept it, Taylor's expression suddenly became much better, and she
He showed a smile and said: "Now she and I are even! I won't feel inferior to her when I see her in the future!"
"Well, Don, let's have something to eat. I have carefully prepared this," Taylor said.
"I..." Before Tang Qian could finish speaking, Taylor intercepted him and said, "Otherwise, are you going to eat me first? Ah?"
This sound matched her demeanor and was extremely lethal. Tang Qian was stunned for a few seconds, then shook his head vigorously and said: "No, no, no, that's not what I meant, I meant..."
"You can eat her, but you don't want to eat me??? How am I inferior to her???" Taylor deliberately lowered his body, and his sexy arcs were looming in the candlelight. "I have never eaten her! Really not!"
Oh, I, I have a headache. Let me go upstairs and take a nap first." Tang Qian was about to leave, but Taylor grabbed him and said, "I haven't eaten anything yet. How shameful is it to waste it? You Orientals are not particular about it."
Who knew you had to work hard to put every piece of food on your plate? This is not okay!"
"As for me, I can't eat. I eat. I don't need it. I don't need it. I can do it myself!"
Amidst the chaos, Tang Qian celebrated his 20th birthday. At the same time, the depression and worries of losing were temporarily swept away and left behind.
PS: The first chapter is here, there is still one more chapter, I promised to break out, I will definitely do it!!!
