"Start the abuse?" This sentence was heard by Joakim Noah who happened to be walking by. Noah's defense was extremely successful tonight and he was in good shape, so he was very unhappy with Tang Qian's words and said
: "With your offensive capabilities, you still want to start abusing me? Are you dreaming?"
Tang Qian turned around and said: "What do you care about? I'm talking to Kobe, who are you?"
"You have such a loud voice! Don't even think about scoring again tonight! I will suppress you with all my strength! Do you understand? Oriental guy!" Joakim Noah was furious and yelled at him. After all, he couldn't defend the scene now.
He had taken over the Lakers' entire inside line, so he felt he had the qualifications to spray.
But he forgot one thing, his rebounds and blocks were badly beaten, that is, the defense bullied Tang Qian and Thackeray without firepower, otherwise he would "achieve nothing" tonight.
Well, it’s not too late to start now.
Tang Qian looked at the game time, turned to Noah and responded: "In this quarter, I am going to score 10 points on your head, no, 20 points! Do you hear it clearly? Just listen clearly.
Defend with all your strength! Even if you defend with all your strength, it is of no use."
"Ridiculous! Oriental guy! Are you crazy? Can you say such nonsense? Who do you think you are? You are just a blue-collar guy who can't average more than 10 points per game!" Noah reminded loudly, completely ignoring it.
He is actually just a blue-collar worker. He averages 12+ points per game, which is his scoring limit this season, and it is basically impossible to exceed it.
If a player with 12+11 had not had 5+1+1 behind him, it would have been impossible for him to get the double team + DPOY season honors.
Not to mention anything else, this season, if I defend DPOY, I will miss Noah. Because Tang Qian wants to take these two honors away unconditionally and without negotiation.
If the data exceeds the number and the matchup is destroyed, this can basically guarantee the double reporter voting of the data stream and the impression stream.
Tonight, Tang Qian will defeat his opponent.
"How many points do you think you can average per game?" Tang Qian said: "Come on, start accepting reality."
The Lakers attack, but the Bulls are still in the same old style. The entire team's defensive focus and attention are on No. 24 on the opposite side. This trick has been tried and tested many times this season. If it weren't for the overtime last time, or if it wasn't for No. 24 in regular time.
If you score 69 points, you won't lose at all. So in this game, Chicagoans are determined to win on the road.
Is it a one-person team? Hey, no matter how strong this kind of team is, there is only one thing. If you target one person, you can basically lock in the victory.
This was the case with Michael Jordan back then, and it is the same with Kobe Bryant this season. There is nothing to be afraid of.
Strong scoring ability? Explosive scoring? OK, come on, the team I coach personally will not be afraid of so-called scoring maniacs like you. It doesn’t matter who comes!
Tom Thibodeau stood on the sidelines, calm and relaxed, because he did not believe that Kobe could score 69 points every time, nor did he believe that the Bulls would stumble again, win 10+ games in a row, and rush back to the top three in the Eastern Conference, or even
To be in the top two, this is his coaching goal.
Although to be honest, he really longs for a Kobe Bryant on his team.
In that case, combined with Kobe's super ability to combine offense and defense, the Bulls' overall defense will be greatly improved, and at the same time, the biggest shortcoming, which is the lack of scoring ability, will be directly solved. In that way, the Chicago Bulls will not be afraid at all.
Miami's Big Three or the Indiana Pacers. Without Rose, they still made it extremely uncomfortable for these two teams. The main players played very poorly. If there was a Kobe... Oh, forget it, just wait for Chris to recover.
, I heard from the team doctor that he is recovering well and should be able to return to the court at the end of this season.
Little does Thibodeau know that the so-called Healthy Rose will always have to wait, and there will never be a "Windy City Rose" blooming in the future.
The MVP who once had unlimited potential has suddenly fallen from the altar and is beyond redemption.
The Bulls also wasted the iron-blooded defensive lineup he worked so hard to cultivate.
On the sidelines of the Lakers, D'Antoni's fingers were tapping the arm of his other hand. It might not be obvious on his face, but inside, he was already very anxious and nervous. The Lakers had reached a critical point of desperation.
Kobe's monotonous mechanical style of play was completely seen through. Even though the Lakers are still fifth in the Western Conference with a record of 37 wins and 13 losses, there are still nearly 30+ games ahead. If they continue like this, it is very likely that
After ten games, he fell out of the top ten in the Western Conference.
In that case, the remaining spirit of this group of "mercenaries" and "temporary workers" will be completely dissipated, and they will never be able to gather together again this season.
As an experienced head coach, he understands these things very well, so... he can't help but be nervous.
There is no way not to be anxious.
If he doesn't even make it to the playoffs this year, he will definitely be kicked out by the Lakers and the fans will "spit him to death."
Don't doubt it, fans from big cities are like this. They can lift you to the sky or trample you to hell.
Although it is only his second season coaching the Lakers, D'Antoni feels more exhausted than he has coached the Suns for five seasons.
However, the final decision-making power in basketball games lies on the court and in the hands of the players, so D'Antoni can only worry.
Now...who can step up? Who can share Kobe's defensive pressure? Who can provide a stable scoring output?
Alas, no, there is nothing we can do.
At this moment, Tang Qian began to wave for the ball in the neutral zone, commonly known as the waist position. This scene made D'Antoni stunned.
He, what is he going to do? The touch is coming again? The state is coming again?
Mike D'Antoni has gradually become accustomed to the scoring outbursts of the Lakers No. 29 in some games, because there are many such people in the NBA, and there is a special term for it, which is called "convulsions." If it is an outside player, it is still very difficult.
It is possible to be dubbed the so-called "nerve knife".
As the name suggests, this kind of player is a player who suddenly breaks out in certain games, and the frequency is much higher than that of the average person.
In the eyes of many people, including Lakers players and management, Tang Qian is such a person.
When I feel it, I feel very good, but when I don't feel it, I feel like a "big rough brother", lacking the highlights of independent attack.
If Tong can stand up at this time, that's fine! That's not bad! At least it can prevent the Bulls' defense from always focusing on No. 24!
But the Lakers' answer on the 29th immediately exceeded D'Antoni's expectations.
"The Lakers must think of a way. Kobe is always taking shots in singles, which makes the Bulls' defense too easy to target. A second person must step up!" Lakers home commentator Bill McDonald said.
"Yeah, but the situation is not optimistic, because we currently don't have a second stable scoring point in the lineup. If Paul or Steve are here at this time, maybe..." Stu Lantz has not said anything yet.
After that, with a "swipe" sound, it was transmitted to the entire Staples court through the microphone and loudspeaker around the backboard.
Lakers No. 29, made a low shot.
"Fortunately, the ball was hit, but there was obviously some luck involved in the ball. If the Lakers want to rely on luck to catch up with the score difference, it may become more and more difficult later on." Stu Lantz explained.
"Yeah, you can't expect to score goals like this one after another." Bill McDonald nodded in agreement.
On the court, Noah, the main center of the Bulls, said bitterly: "Damn it, he actually scored one. What a bad luck! Bullshit!"
"It's okay, don't worry about Joakim. He can't score a second time with that kind of ball and that kind of shot." Kirk Hinrich, the Bulls' No. 1 position, comforted him, and at the same time, his thoughts
Represents the mainstream thinking of the Bulls.
"Well, I know, I just think he's too lucky!" After being told this, Noah's mood improved a lot.
"We just need to win the game. Don't worry too much about the rest." After saying this, Hinrich took the ball and advanced forward.
However, the Bulls were unable to score the ball. Basketball struck iron, and Tang Qian jumped high to collect the low rebound.
Noah couldn't resist at all, and trying to get offensive rebounds against Tang Qian during his "demigod" period was nothing short of a dream.
His rebounding ability is really "too low".
Turning around, the Bulls continued to "target" Kobe. According to Thibodeau's idea, as long as the 24-point point is held down, the Bulls are sure to win this game. The others scored a few, which is not painful or harmful.
Because the most important scoring point is still in the opponent's No. 2 position.
This is also the summary of teams across the league after playing for more than half a season.
When playing against the Lakers, the defensive end is to contain Kobe. This is the top priority.
But tonight, that didn't work.
PS: Less work today, I have to get up early to do things tomorrow, and find time to explode tomorrow and the day after tomorrow~
