Chapter 703 Ke Tang's strong support for the 4D outbreak is completed~
26 wins and 8 losses, this is the current record of the Los Angeles Lakers. If placed in the Eastern Conference, it is enough to secure the top three. If placed in the Western Conference, sorry, it is only sixth. Although it is only 1 to 2 wins against the top three.
The field difference, except for the Spurs and Thunder, is a slight advantage, but falling behind means falling behind, and there is no reason to explain.
On January 7th, Kobe went crazy trying to win. He didn't take a break in the 48 minutes of regular season and 5 minutes of overtime. He scored 61 points in the game, including a near-winner, allowing the Lakers to narrowly beat Dallas by 2 points.
Bulls. The Mavericks are really unlucky. They are often beaten by the Lakers on the 24th and set various records. It was the same tonight.
The Black Mamba scored 60+ points in a single game for the third time this season. This kind of firepower has already exceeded that of the 2005-06 season.
However, the problem is also obvious. Kobe has played for too long. His physical fitness is indeed in peak condition now, but Jordan cannot hold on if he continues to play like this. Unfortunately, this problem has been fulfilled. January 8, 2014
, the Lakers challenged the Houston Rockets in back-to-back away games. This game was watched by a lot of people, and Howard and Harden also said that they will definitely not be in the same situation as last time, and they must beat the Lakers at Toyota Center.
The game was unimaginably intense. It was really intense, and it was not just talk. The two teams played two overtimes before the winner was finally decided. Kobe played the role of savior.
In fact, the game felt very average, but in the last 3.2 seconds, a buzzer-beating ball was thrown, allowing the Lakers to rush out and beat Houston with a 3-point advantage.
And this is not a quasi-win, nor is it a Cluth.shot, this is a real buzzer-beater. The ball goes in and the lights come on, and the game is over.
Buzzer.beaters!!!
The Lakers continued their winning streak, and the team also returned from sixth in the Western Conference to fifth in the Western Conference, but the price was that Kobe played 48 minutes of regular season time + 2 overtimes. 3 of the 50 points in the game
He had 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals, and 19 free throws, helping the Los Angeles Lakers win a difficult 3-point victory.
Fans naturally seem to enjoy this kind of game, but in the long run, it is not a good thing for the Lakers.
Tang Qian was amazing again in this game. He seemed to have felt something. When he met Howard, Nima easily entered the "super god" state. Is this a deliberate suppression of "Warcraft"? He will never be able to lift him up.
Start?
Tang Qian also played for more than 40 minutes, scoring 16 points, 31 rebounds, 9 blocks and 3 assists, a near-triple-double. As for why it didn't turn into a true triple-double, it was entirely because Howard gave up in the end.
He never made even one shot under the basket in one quarter. It was difficult to block Tang Qian's shots like this.
However, Harden was also abnormal tonight. He and Kobe seemed to be on a par with each other. He scored 48 points and his shooting percentage was nearly 20% higher than Kobe. In addition, the Rockets' Parsons exploded and defeated the Lakers' 3-
Position No. 4, so the downturn of "Warcraft" was covered up.
The score was 103-100, the Lakers narrowly won! 2 consecutive wins!
After a day's rest, the Lakers returned to the Staples Center, but tonight is the home court of the Clippers. Three games in four days made the Los Angeles Lakers players feel extremely tired. Especially these two games.
, they all played very fiercely, and they all went into overtime, not to mention the exhaustion on the players.
In this game, the Lakers were almost 20 points behind. Fortunately, No. 24 stepped up in the second half and attacked the Clippers inside like crazy, and directly sent DeAndre Jordan to the penalty line, which eased the Lakers' situation. In the end, thanks to Kobe's 39 points in the second half, the whole team
With 54 points per game, the Lakers won three consecutive victories! This is also the 29th team victory this season!
The Lakers currently have 29 wins and 8 losses, ranking third in the Western Conference. However, the ranking is very unstable, with only about half a game behind them. This means that any loss will cause the team to re-rank.
slide.
Moreover, in order to win this game, Kobe played the whole game without rest and played the entire 48 minutes.
Calculated in this way, he played 159 NBA minutes in 4 days! This intensity is already the highest playing time in three consecutive games in the NBA since 1984! Michael Jordan has never done this!
Mike D'Antoni actually wanted to let Kobe take a break, but these games were so intense that he didn't even dare to take down No. 24 for a minute. The Lakers only had this stable independent scoring point.
, if we go down, we will definitely lose these three games.
But there is no way to continue fighting like this. Kobe is 35 and a half years old this season, and he had Achilles tendon surgery last season. If he gets injured again... D'Antoni can't even imagine that he will be eaten alive by Lakers fans.
So he decided to give the Cavaliers a bye in the next game on the 24th, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was objected by the latter:
As long as I can still move, I have to play! No one can let me rest this season!
The rest of the Lakers didn't understand Kobe's persistence, but Tang Qian did.
Because this is No. 24's last season, he doesn't want to miss any game.
Putting himself in his shoes, Tang Qian might think the same thing himself, and now, who can persuade him?
nobody.
The 38th game of the regular season is also the last game of the week for the Lakers. Their opponent is the Eastern Conference weakling Cleveland Cavaliers.
There is no James this season, and Irving leads the team alone, and the results are not good. However, this is only his third season, and he still has unlimited possibilities. At least that's what he thinks.
Irving didn't know what he ate in this game, but he actually entered "The.Zone" and kept competing with Kobe. If he hadn't entered "The.Zone" after the 24th, he would have almost overwhelmed him. But relatively speaking
Compared with Irving, Kobe is not only responsible for offense but also defense. This is the ability to integrate offense and defense, and it is also a loophole that the Lakers are currently short of major generals. The existence of such a huge perimeter loophole implicitly requires No. 24 to be strong on the perimeter.
Just live.
Otherwise, all the outside lines will be blown up.
The Lakers won this game. Kobe scored 56 points, beating Irving's 48. However, Meeks hit Anderson Varejao's knee during a fast break and fell to the ground. He was carried back directly.
In the locker room, Gary Vitti initially judged that his injury was a minor bone fracture and he would need to be sidelined for about 2-4 weeks. This means that the Lakers will be without Meeks, a stable three-point shooter, for the next month.
Los Angeles, which doesn't have much, is just adding insult to injury.
Kobe played another 45 minutes and 37 seconds in this game. It was not until the final decision was made that he was replaced to take a breather.
If we continue to play like this, it won't work. Even Kobe Bryant, who is at his peak, is not a real iron man. If he gets injured... the Lakers will be completely finished this season. The coveted sixth Larry O'Brien Cup on the 24th will also be gone.
.
The Los Angeles Lakers won 4 consecutive games! Consolidating their third position in the Western Conference!
Kobe is naturally the Western Conference Player of the Week this week. He has 50+ points in 4 consecutive games within a week, scoring a total of 221 points, and averaging 55.25 points per game, winning this honor. It seems exaggerated, but Kobe has done more than this before.
Better! For example, in 2007, he averaged 56.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game in a "dream week" with a true shooting percentage of over 67%. So for him, this level is nothing.
.
Because he is at his all-round peak this season. Is there anything surprising about achieving such results?
On the same day, the NBA announced the third round of voting. Through a series of scoring performances, Kobe Bryant from the Western Conference has firmly occupied the top spot in the voting. Tang Qian followed closely. James only had enough votes to rank third in all voting.
Although a week has passed, after playing the Cavaliers, the Lakers will play the Suns again the next day, another back-to-back.
The opponent is not strong, but now it is very difficult for the Lakers to beat any opponent. Kobe and Tang Qian have to give their best to win. Nash and Gasol were missing originally, and now Steve Blake and Meeks are missing.
Both players were injured, and this ball became increasingly difficult to hit.
In order to maintain the continuity of the lineup, the Lakers could only rush to sign Manny Harris from the Los Angeles Defenders of the NBDL, but don't put any hope in him. He is just here to "make soy sauce" and is nothing but garbage.
Time, he basically has no chance to perform.
Known as the "Michigan Mamba", he was also Mr. Michigan Basketball in high school. However, due to injuries and discomfort, he was not favored by NBA teams in the draft. Oh, by the way, he will play in the domestic NBL league in the future.
Yes, it is the NBL, not the CBA. This is also one of the two major men's professional basketball leagues in China. However, the attention and competitive level are lower than that of the CBA, so it has not been well-known by people. However, there have been super big names in this league, and he is
"Da Bai Bian" who once played for the Shudu Blue Whale Club. He is Hassan Whiteside, who was "rejected" by the CBA twice.
So this proves that heroes are not afraid of low birth.
This game was another hard battle. I don’t know since when, the Lakers will be in a hard battle against any team. It was another overtime, and the Lakers barely won. Kobe and Tang Qian
The data has been "swiped" a lot, but there are not many smiles on the faces of the two people.
5 consecutive wins! 31 wins and 8 losses! Consolidated the third position in the Western Conference!
But the price is too high.
Tang Qian played for 41 minutes in this game. He was exhausted later and was almost scored by the Suns inside. There is no way, his current effective playing time cannot exceed 35 minutes. Once it exceeds, with the intensity of the NBA game, every minute
There will be an obvious decline in status.
If you ask the current Tang Qian to play a game for 45 minutes, it is estimated that his rebounding and shot-blocking power will be completely lost in the end.
Basketball is a high-intensity competitive sport. Without the support of physical fitness, everything is illusion and nothing will be discussed.
After his physical strength is completely exhausted, Qiao Shen will be beaten by rookies! Don't think that it is common for the spirit to surpass the body. It is a special case, not the rule.
Kobe played the entire game and contributed 51 points. It was his last consecutive points that ensured the Lakers' victory.
On January 17, Kobe defeated the Boston Celtics and scored 27 free throws. The 27 free throws were Kobe's single-game free throw record. It can be seen how much Kobe released in order to score in this game.
energy.
The recent continuous playing or nearly playing the whole game is a bit overwhelming even for Kobe at his peak, even at his super-peak. His shooting percentage has declined and his footwork has slowed down. These are all signs, so in order to score, he only
He can grit his teeth and choose to break through, and he can choose to go inside and create damage at the basket.
Fortunately, this is Kobe who weighs 230+ pounds. If it were Kobe who weighed less than 200 pounds at the end of last year, he would have been seriously injured again and lost the season. Seriously, no kidding, Kobe's playing time during this period has already reached
Reaching the historical peak after 1984, in 7 consecutive games, no one played more minutes than him.
50 points, winning this "yellow-green confrontation", Kobe was obviously a little tired in the end.
Continuous high scoring while also taking into account defense, this kind of load is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Tang Qian also tried his best. He grabbed 29 rebounds and contributed 11 blocks in this game.
Only two people can win with these kind of statistics. You can imagine how weak this Lakers team as a whole is.
How vulnerable it is.
It was like a piece of rag. It took two people to hold it up so that it didn't fall apart or tear.
Why do you think the Lakers have won so many games in a row, but their role players are still not effective? The first reason is that they are really too weak and cannot provide more team energy. The second reason is that the outside world now advocates that the Lakers are "one man"
"Half team", one for No. 24, and half for No. 29. The rest of the team together don't have half.
In this general environment, the Lakers players have developed a sense of imbalance and decadence, and even some people have broken things. As a result, and with many injuries and suspensions, the Lakers team is in disarray.
Leaders like Kobe and Jordan are not suitable to lead this kind of team. The most suitable person for this kind of team is none other than the Heat's No. 6, LeBron James. He is good at doing this kind of thing.
Tang Qian has no leadership skills at all now, so he can only grit his teeth and endure with Kobe.
On January 19th, Kobe Bryant scored 60 points again, leading the Lakers to defeat the Raptors. He scored 60+ points twice on the same team in one season. He was also the only person after 1984. But this
In this game, Kobe almost played the entire game.
You can imagine the burden and burden of one person taking over half or even most of the team's offensive firepower.
But Kobe can't stop now, and he doesn't dare to stop. He just hopes that Tang Qian, the only helper around him, won't collapse early.
Otherwise, there will be no hope for this season.
On January 20, the Lakers played their 42nd game this season against the Bulls at the United Center in Chicago.
The Bulls are missing core Rose and have suffered a 9-game losing streak since the start of this season. However, there have been some signs of recovery recently because the Bulls' management decided not to wait for Rose and began to focus on supporting a 3-year-old named Jimmy Butler.
A senior. Although he is only averaging 13+ points per game now, but look at the other players on this Bulls team, you will know that this score is not bad. Because the highest scorer averages only 14+ points per game.
After Rose was injured, Luol Deng was also traded to the Cavaliers, so the Bulls' current playing style is very average. DJ Augustin averaged 14+ per game, Carlos Boozer averaged 13+ per game, and Joakim Noah averaged 14+ per game.
Averaged 12+, Ty Gibson averaged 13+, Mike Dunleavy averaged 11+, Kirk Hinrich averaged 10+, plus Jimmy Butler averaged 13+, this is the Bulls this season.
The score composition. A rough calculation shows that 7 players scored in double figures, coupled with their strong defense as always, they have recently posted a wave of 15 wins and 3 losses, and the Eastern Conference ranking is getting higher and higher.
The Bulls are not using run-and-gun and small-ball tactics. In fact, as long as head coach Tom Thibodeau is here, it is impossible to play.
Because Thibodeau is a defensive madman, at least for now. Many people only know that he officially became an NBA head coach in the 10-11 season, and in his first season, he won the honor of the best coach of the year.
But I’m afraid many people don’t know that one of Tom Thibodeau’s real golden periods was during his assistant coaching era.
In other words, for a person like him who only has one side of offense and defense, the most suitable position is not the head coach, but the assistant coach.
Of course, this is not to belittle him, but without anyone to guide the offense, it will be difficult for the team he leads to win the championship.
In the iron-blooded New York of the late 1990s, the "Little Giant" Rockets that we Chinese people are most familiar with, there was Van Gundy in it, and Thibodeau was in it. He was born to defend. Without him, Van Gundy claimed to be the best player on his own.
He is not at such a strong defensive level. If Thibodeau's defensive ability has not been completely recognized after being with Van Gundy for nearly 10 years, then this time, it is enough to make him famous.
Thibodeau, who was unemployed at home in 2007, joined the Boston Celtics. At this time, his talents were truly recognized by the world. Do you think the Green Army's iron-blooded defense was given by Doc Rivers? Wrong! Take a look.
In the years when Rivers was absent from Thibodeau, the Greens' defense was always poor. When Thibodeau came in 2007, they immediately became a team that only allowed opponents 90+ points per game. Last season, the Greens
The Army lost an average of close to 100 points per game, and suddenly lost nearly 10 points per game. Do you think it was only Garnett's contribution?
Let's look at Rivers when he went to the Clippers. When did he defend? He conceded more than 100 points every year.
In the two consecutive "yellow-green battles" in the finals in the 2007-10 season, who was the person who formulated the strategy to defend Kobe? Who was the person who designed the zone defense and double-teaming tactics? Kobe gave the answer after losing in the 2008 finals,
The original words are as follows:
As long as Tom Thibodeau is there, the team's defense will be very strong. He is an advantage for the Celtics. And he is very familiar with me. I once received some guidance from him when I was 14 years old. It is obvious that he
Knows everything about me and my team.
So this guy's defense will be terrifying as long as the players are willing to listen to him.
However, the advantages are as obvious as the disadvantages. If D'Antoni of the Lakers "can't defend", then Tom Thibodeau of the Bulls "can't attack". If the two people are combined, it is very likely that they will become a super perfect one.
head coach.
But assumptions can only be assumptions. The reality is that the Bulls led by Thibodeau will never play small ball or run and gun. They are a replica of the "hand-to-hand style" of the New York Knicks and Houston Rockets. This style of play requires
The only thing is to push hard and strangle in position.
It's a pity that Rose has become a glass man, otherwise Thibodeau would have trained Joakim Noah, and he might not be able to powerfully block the Miami Big Three. You must know that in his first year with the Bulls, he was the only one with a healthy and tidy lineup.
In just one year, Wade and James, both of the Big Three, suppressed their field goal percentage to less than 45%. The former even nearly dropped below 40% in the series.
What is this concept? Wade and James are both super basket attackers, with top shooting percentages among outsiders. In the 10-11 season, both of them were at their physical peak, but just like this, their shooting percentages were suppressed.
Has it become like this? The Bulls' defensive system can be seen from this.
If it weren't for that series, Rose, the new MVP, was so bad, shooting only 35% from the field, and averaging only 1.4 of 6 three-pointers, that year's series would have been a contender.
In this game, Kobe was prepared for a fierce battle, but the situation was beyond everyone's expectations.
