"What on earth is that Oriental guy doing? Is he... is he beating up his teammates?" Wade was stunned for a while, then turned to LeBron James and asked. "...I don't know.
"James forced himself to calm down. Although he couldn't see it on the surface, he was feeling the same turmoil in his heart.
This guy... is not a new era player, he plays "old school basketball"!
Inherit the spirit of "old school basketball"!
What is the spirit of "old-school basketball"? Within team relationships, it means absolute authority, absolute suppression, and absolute prestige. It is completely opposite to the spirit of modern "new basketball". For example, when treating teammates, they do not pay attention to harmony and harmony.
, but most of them deal with it in a way that is "pleasing to the eyes" and "pleasing to the heart". Of course, generally speaking, those who can become the boss in the NBA are top-notch existences. There is no need to think about whether they will be a mess and whether they will be strict or not.
effort.
Such a person, firstly, cannot become the boss, and secondly, once he does, he will be replaced soon and become a stepping stone for others.
Jordan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Chamberlain, Russell, Garnett, O'Neal, Ewing, Malone, Olajuwon, Payton, etc., are all such people. If you carefully observe their news and
From the gossip, you will find that it is not uncommon to teach newcomers and teammates a lesson. Even Tim Duncan, who seems to be an "honest and good person", has had several quarrels with the team, and one of the targets also
There was Tony Parker. So all the way to Kobe, they were all loyal believers in "old-school basketball" and would not mingle with their teammates casually.
To use Ci Shiping's words later in the interview, that is: If you want to be friends with people like them, you must first show your qualifications and strength, otherwise please step aside. This last question is a "huge topic"
Kobe Bryant had countless performances in his career.
Search for similar news, there are tons of them.
And this is the basketball style that Tang Qian likes. He doesn't like the "brother style" created by the "03 Platinum Generation".
You try to think about it, if he is really an opponent, how likely are you to be good friends with him? Aren't most of them "face projects"? Just perfunctory on the surface? And this kind of perfunctory was more real in the past
display.
There is sympathy for each other, but most of them are tit-for-tat.
Look at the current competitive atmosphere of the NFL. They are still the so-called "old school" atmosphere. This way in the competitive league, it looks more real and more substantial. Obviously most of them are just pretending, and they have to force themselves to accept it.
Is it uncomfortable? Is it disgusting?
If there really were so many "enemies and friends", the four words "sympathizing with each other" would not be so precious or valuable.
In a competitive league, everyone is "friends and foes" and "sympathizes with each other." Do you believe it?
Even a simple competition is full of emotions and unhappiness, let alone such an occasion and stage with unlimited spotlight?
Of course, this is also a plan to leave an extra escape route for myself.
What if in the future... we all stick together and become teammates?
There seems to be nothing wrong with saving more face and reducing the smell of gunpowder.
right?
Is it?
There was only the last minute left in the first quarter. The two sides came on stage again. Tang Qian asked D'Antoni to replace Sacre, replacing "CIC handsome boy" Jordan Hill. The Lakers' lineup was Farmar, Wei
Sli Johnson, Manny Harris, Robert Thackeray, Tang Qian. The Heat replaced Wade and Bosh, leaving only James on the court to lead the team.
This is the Heat's regular style of play this season. Wade is suffering from a knee injury, so he needs to rest longer and longer, and many games even take turns. Bosh's physical strength is not as good as James's, and "with more in one area", it is very
It’s none other than James.
Making role players who suit his own system stronger is James' "additional aura" and "additional attributes."
After Tang Qian came on the field, he looked at the score. It was 29-10. The Lakers were 19 points behind. He said to Sacre next to him: "Robote, try your best to stay in position and push people. You don't need to take off to cover up defense. Just
As long as you don't lose position, leave the rest of the work behind the basket to me."
Thackeray cherishes the time standing next to Tang Qian, because his own ability is not as good as Jordan Hill, and his shooting range and accuracy are also several blocks behind Ryan Kelly, so he has always been with the Lakers.
He was the "Guardian of the Water Cooler" or the "Iron Bench". But next to No. 29 of the Lakers, he suddenly found that he had some use.
That is to block the opponent and then cooperate with active defense. This is enough.
His 7-foot height! 270-pound tonnage! These are his advantages!
Regardless of whether it is blocking positions, pushing people, or "defending without jumping", what is needed most is enthusiasm, followed by physical hardware, and finally the so-called "ability". He considers himself to be far superior to Jordan Hill in these aspects.
and Ryan Kelly.
Tang Qian needed someone to be a human shield and someone to sacrifice. Thackeray, who had good physical hardware and a perfect attitude, became his first choice.
Jordan Hill and Ryan Kelly are completely unqualified in these aspects.
Who has the final say on the future Lakers big man? It’s obvious.
"Don't worry, Tong, I will do whatever you ask me to do!" Thackeray cherished this opportunity. He even felt that this was his only chance in the Los Angeles Lakers. So, how could he not work hard?
"Well, come on, Robert, you seize the opportunity by yourself, and you earn your worth by yourself. The basic salary is not your highest salary." Tang Qian was very satisfied with Thackeray's performance and attitude, so he said a few words of encouragement.
He said: "Don't you forget that my first season was also a basic salary, which was even less than half of your current salary."
"So remember one sentence."
"Anything.is.possible."
"Everything is possible."
This kid... besides fists, does he also know this move? Perhaps this is also his talent and factor that impressed No. 24?
Well, it's not impossible.
Mike D'Antoni stood on the sidelines and thought silently.
James dribbled the ball from the outside, and Wesley Johnson had no choice. In the first quarter, he was completely beaten by Miami's No. 6 and lost all confidence. James easily broke through from the top arc, and then rushed
Enter the inside line, attract the defense, and missile the ball.
The basketball flew to Michael Bliss on the other side at an extremely fast speed. Bliss caught the ball and attacked the basket. Thackeray tried his best to block him. Moreover, he listened to Tang Qian's words and did not
Take the initiative to take off, just stand outside the reasonable collision zone and straighten your arms, and then ensure not to lose the defensive position. This seems to be useless, because Bliss dodges the latter with a change of hands, but Tang Qian needs Thackeray
What has been accomplished, he has already accomplished.
Frontal impact is easily hindered, so the opponent can only dodge and take action, but if he dodges... is that enough?
Tang Qian jumped up high and slapped away Michael Bliss's layup.
The basketball is back in the Lakers' hands.
However, the basketball did not hit the Miami basket. The independent offensive ability of the Lakers is still weak, and they cannot handle the Heat's fully mature and fully formed defensive front. It is not fake that they have entered the NBA Finals for three consecutive years.
This kind of continuous experience in the finals will also make fools out, and the chemical reaction and team understanding will be greatly improved.
A single player needs to "fight monsters and level up", but why doesn't a team need it?
The Heat are currently considered to be one of the best "Team Cooperation Level" S teams in the entire NBA. Except for the San Antonio Spurs in the West who have surpassed them for "twenty years as a day", looking at the entire league, they have no rivals.
So even if it is a substitute player, the tacit understanding and chemical reaction are still excellent. At least it is much better than the Lakers. Not everyone is Kobe. If one person attacks the entire team's defense, the shooting rate is appalling.
What's strange?
Originally, the shooting percentage in positional battles is not as good as in sports battles. Who doesn’t know this simple basketball common sense?
But Tang Qian got the offensive rebound.
Because "Birdman" Anderson is simply not enough for him to step on.
Then, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he rose up from the ground and dunked into the net with both hands.
Boom~The Lakers broke the "scoring drought"~
12-29, 17 points behind the opponent.
This is also Tang Qian's first offensive rebound of the game.
James dribbled the ball, and he easily passed the defender. Nothing happened. The Lakers' perimeter trio is now Farmar + Wesley Johnson + Manny Harris. Do you want more? Defense
It's almost impossible to live in No. 6 of the Heat.
It was another breakaway ball. The basketball flew to the bottom corner. Jordan Farmar tried his best to pounce on it, but the basketball was moved to near a 45-degree angle. It was completely open! Rashad Lewis made a three-pointer.
Take a shot, brush~, and hit the Lakers basket.
12-32, with the three-pointer hit, the score difference between the two sides widened to 20 points.
Falling behind again by a big margin? They were beaten last time and fell behind by 36 points in the end. But last time the team had a tidy lineup and had the offensive weapon of Kobe Bryant. Now? The sun has simply set.
Same, no sunlight can be seen at all.
When James retreated, he glanced at Tang Qian, with a hint of provocation and teasing in his eyes.
It seems that after playing so many games with the Lakers No. 29, James has a little temper.
He wants to use a naked victory to wash away the opinions of the outside world.
Tang Qian saw this look, raised the corner of his mouth, and ran towards the frontcourt.
Since there is no real strong point guard, Tang Qian is unable to exert his ability without the ball. As a result, the Lakers once again strike from the outside and the basketball flies high. The Heat adopted a contraction strategy in the hope of consolidating their defense.
rebound.
Michael Bliss wanted to get stuck in front of Tang Qian, but was quickly pushed back by the latter. A power forward who averaged 3+ rebounds per game was completely out of Tang Qian's sight. What's more, he weighed 230 pounds.
With his small body, he squeezed the former away with a slight squeeze.
Got stuck in front smoothly.
However, Michael Billis's task has been completed, because he just wanted to delay No. 29 to give "Birdman" Anderson under the basket the best time to grab the board. This is a very good decision. Generally speaking, as long as the blocker
If the opponent is on top of another, even if the opponent is strong and successfully reverses the block, there is still an inside block in front that needs to be broken through. And the competition for rebounds is a race against time, and there is absolutely no time to get blocked twice.
As a result, he loses his best rebounding position and is stuck behind another insider, making it difficult to grab offensive rebounds.
But they forgot one person. If Jordan Hill was still on the court or Ryan Kelly was on the court, then maybe there would really be no hope for this ball. But it was replaced by Thackeray, who suddenly gave Tang Qian a chance.
.
When Bliss blocked Tang Qian, Thackeray was doing the same thing. Don't underestimate Thackeray's movements. He is much taller and heavier than "Birdman" Anderson. Ricochet
The speed blocking technology may not be as good as the latter, but it is just a pure hand-to-hand fight under the basket. Thackeray is not inferior, and maybe he has a slight natural "hardware" advantage.
Why did most teams deal with super insiders by hoarding muscle sticks and meat shield insiders?
It doesn't matter how strong you are, as long as the tonnage is there, the strength is there, and the height is there, that's fine.
Thackeray tried very hard to "fight hand-to-hand" with Anderson and didn't even think about rebounding. This gave Tang Qian a chance. Tang Qian made a mistake and took the lead and won the offensive rebound. Then he made a fake shot to attract
After several Heat players got closer, they quickly distributed the ball and Jordan Farmar made a fixed-point three-pointer.
Swipe ~ open shot ~ Tang Qian got an assist, and the Lakers scored three points.
It's like the Heat's Lewis' three-pointer just now was offset.
15-32, once again a 17-point gap.
After Tang Qian ended this round of offense, he looked at Miami No. 6 with the same look, and the meaning was self-evident.
This scene was captured by the camera. Tony Florence, the Heat's on-site commentator, did a disservice at this time and said: "Dongfang Fang actually dares to challenge LeBron James? He may be very strong, maybe he is an elite blue-collar worker, but he
He is definitely no match for KING! The king will lead his knights to teach him a lesson!"
Having said this, James must stand up and respond in the next game, otherwise his "impression points" this season will be greatly reduced. This will be detrimental to his competition for his fifth MVP trophy.
James is very hopeful to win the MVP this season. If he wins another one, he will have completed the long-lost "three consecutive MVPs". And only a few people in NBA history have completed this honor? The answer is only 3
people.
One is "Lord of the Rings" Bill Russell.
The second is "Basketball Emperor" and "Big Dipper" Wilt Chamberlain.
The third is "Big Bird" Larry Bird.
The rest, including Michael Jordan, have never achieved the honor of three consecutive MVPs. No matter what excuse you make, whether it is fatigue, bad luck, or shady circumstances, you still have the same sentence, you got it.
If you get it, you don't get it. People who don't get it are not necessarily weak, but people who get it are definitely strong.
Because of the so-called "aesthetic fatigue", the so-called "luck" and the so-called "shady", haven't Russell, Chamberlain, and Bird encountered it? Of course they have also encountered it. It's just that they defied everyone's opinions and conquered with impeccable performance.
It's just these harsh things.
This does not mean that their strength surpasses Qiao Shen, it just means that in those three years, they showed absolute dominance and ability. In other words, during that period, they were the strongest, and there was no one else.
At least that's the case in the regular season.
To be honest, the honors of "Magic" in the past few years were basically beaten by Larry Bird, whether it was team leadership performance or personal honors, everything was like this. Don't you agree? What was the record of the Celtics before Bird joined Boston? 29
That's all. After Bird joined, it was no more, no more. He only improved the Celtics' winning streak to 61 wins. At that time, the Lakers already had the peak "Sky Hook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the team. From the perspective of God, there were only 2
The top ten teams in history, plus the support of James Worthy, a powerful forward who has always been stable at 20+6+4 at his peak, the lineup is not luxurious. No kidding, the top ten super giant teams in history don't need
The peaks are particularly overlapping. As long as there are peaks + sub-peaks, the destructive power will be at the level of a nuclear bomb.
Bird never had such strong teammates to help him in his life.
But in the early stage, whether it was defensive formation, best lineup or team leadership record, he was higher than "Magic". You may not know that when Bird won three consecutive MVPs, our "Magic" had not one MVP in his hands.
Not yet, and the latter has no defense in his life, coupled with the difference in the team's record, he was thrown out by the "Big Bird" for several blocks. In the later period, Larry Bird began to suffer from injuries and declined relatively early.
, and the team did not have a "Sky Hook" as a stable attack point, so they were caught up by "Magic" Johnson.
The white man's physical fitness is still a bit poor, and he is not patient enough. Fuck, and his teammates are not as good as the "Magic". As a result, Bird only played in the NBA for a short period of 13 years. In the next four years, he missed a lot of time, leaving him without any competition.
In other words, Larry Bird's truly healthy years were only about 9 years, and in these 9 years, he won most of the honors in his career.
This harvesting ability, to put it harshly, is not even comparable to that of Joe God in the early stage. The real rookie is the peak, and he is the master of the first year. There is a little story here. Back then, the "Cardinal" spent a lot of money to
The acquisition of Larry Bird dissatisfied many veteran players of the Green Army, so when Bird joined the team, many senior players directly gave him the team nickname of "Savior". Note that this is obviously not a compliment but a sarcasm.
, but a year later, everyone who said these words wanted to hold Bird’s hand and said with tears in their eyes:
I said, Savior, why did you come?
From 29 wins to 61 wins, you know what leadership and team-leading abilities are. Larry Bird suffered from back injuries in the last 4 years of his career, so people's impression of him was greatly reduced (a bit similar to the end of his career).
Kobe Bryant for several years). But when he is healthy, he is definitely the scariest being in NBA history! The one who least relies on physical fitness!
Relying on golf skills to play basketball was originally an exclusive compliment that only belonged to "Big Bird" Larry Bird. No one can afford this title anymore.
And the inventor of the real "original version of Jordan's Rules" was not the Pistons, but Larry Bird and the Celtics. This man's team leadership is evident. If he hadn't suffered from a back injury in the end, he would have even been very successful.
It may impact the status of the top three in history. There was a mainstream saying at the time that without "Magic" the Lakers would still be a strong team. Without Bird, the Celtics would sink directly and have not recovered for N years.
.
A 9-year NBA career can ensure that he will be among the top ten in NBA history, and he is still a white man with very average physical fitness. No one will believe that this kind of person is not a monster. Bird only played 6, 75, and 60 games in the next 4 years.
With an attendance rate of 45 games, he only won 3 All-Stars and 1 All-NBA Second Team selection. These honors are really insignificant to him. If they are given, they are the icing on the cake, but if they are not, it is not a big deal.
So this guy, fortunately his kidneys are not good, oh, I'm sorry, it's because of his poor health. Fortunately, his teammates are not particularly strong, otherwise... Qiao Shen might not even be able to play.
Two of the top ten teams in history still don't have an absolute advantage against him, or even a slight disadvantage. What kind of ability can achieve this?
If James wants to surpass Bird in all aspects, at least in the 13-14 season, he needs to do more.
The fifth MVP trophy in the regular season and three consecutive MVP awards are his goals for this season.
James is a great person who is very good at calculating gains and losses and setting goals, so he doesn't want to lose this honor easily.
Therefore, at critical moments and critical seasons, someone can "restrain" him, and someone can break his "invincible posture." This will definitely cost you a lot if you want to win three consecutive MVP awards. Because every consecutive banker will represent the next move.
This time the requirements and standards will be higher and more demanding. How can someone who is not absolutely invincible in this era deserve the honor of three consecutive MVPs?
Emperor James has his own historical positioning and historical ambitions, so he must now kill this "obstacle" that suddenly appeared.
Lakers No. 29.
James dribbled the ball from the top arc. This was the last offensive opportunity in the first quarter. He looked ahead, his eyes condensed, and he made up his mind.
He wants to finish the ball himself.
He wants to play singles.
We must defeat the defensive barrier of Dongfang No. 29!
The Heat players "know the way" and slowly opened up, clearing the middle of the court, allowing James space to play his best.
After calculating the time, James took action at the top of the arc. There was no Wesley Johnson in his eyes at this moment. In his eyes at this moment, there was only the figure of Dongfang standing under the Lakers basket.
"LeBron started, oh~ Johnson didn't hinder him at all, he was cleanly left behind!"
"Now there is only one defender away from the Lakers' basket, and he is No. 29, Dongfang Hot!"
"What will LeBron do with this ball? Wow~ He flew high without making too many moves. He was trying to challenge his opponent head-on!"
"LeBron is really domineering this season! It seems that a new three-consecutive MVP is about to appear! The King is about to ascend the throne and become an emperor!"
Tang Qian saw the right time and bounced on the spot. The strongest outside basket attacker in the league, or the strongest outside basket attacker in history, was now facing him, attacking him.

Xiao Zi re-watched the series between the Lakers and the Celtics in the 1980s playoffs, and found that Larry Bird was really in control, leading teammates who were not as good as the "Magic" to fight back all the way, especially
In the series against the Pistons, I had a blast, and my playing was particularly "evil". I felt like I was lazy and unhurried, and then I made shots, scored, assisted, and helped defend successfully. Especially some super
Difficult shooting, really, top shot and isolation shot ability, Xiao Zi thinks he is the king of strong shots in the NBA before Jordan! The key attack ability is several levels beyond the "Magician"! It is not an exaggeration at all! I have a feeling that this white man is simply not
