Chapter 830 Solve the big chapter of the battle at the Toyota Center~
Because Tang Qian had helped the Lakers catch up with the score difference, D'Antoni immediately replaced him with Gasol after he came off the field. This has only one purpose, which is to maintain independent scoring points on the court. And Tang Qian's exit was not in vain.
Yes, Rockets No. 13 was sent directly to the home team's locker room by him. It looked like he had twisted his wrist.
The power of "Rage + Comprehensive The.Zone" is really impressive, of course, mainly because Tang Qian suddenly became ruthless.
I can go down, but if you touch me like this and still dunk me, I'm sorry, you don't want to feel better.
The Rockets suddenly lost Harden, and their offensive and defensive capabilities were greatly reduced on the outside. It also gave the Los Angeles people some breathing time. Howard should have stepped forward at this time, but he probably was stared at too hard by Tang Qian tonight.
, his touch was not open at all, and several small hooks that were supposed to go in slipped out of the basket. Now it was finally the Rockets fans' turn to be depressed, and they also tasted the bitter tears of the Lakers fans last year.
After holding on for 2 minutes, seeing that time was running out, D'Antoni decisively replaced No. 24 Kobe. He told Kobe that as long as he scored, don't bother to defend, so as not to get fouled. Kobe nodded. Although he didn't want to, it was true.
It is indeed the best division of labor for the Lakers at the moment. Otherwise, without him to attack tough situations, the Lakers' original advantage at the last moment will disappear. In total, it is not cost-effective.
Without Harden, Howard had poor touch inside. Kobe made 3 of 5 shots and made 2 free throws. The final 8 points helped the Lakers seal the victory. 105-101 The Lakers narrowly defeated their opponents by 4 points. Even in the last 38 seconds
At that time, Gasol was also sent off for a foul, and still failed to secure the home victory for the Rockets. The series score was 3-0, and the Lakers were basically certain to advance.
The entire Lakers team was also beaming with joy, looking like they were enjoying the victory.
Why? It's very simple. Just one point. No team in NBA history has ever come back from 3-0 down for 4 consecutive games.
I saw clearly that there wasn't even one.
As of this season, there have been only 12 times when a 0-3 scoreline has been chased to 2-3, and only 3 times when the score has been chased to 3-3. And how many series have been played in the history of the NBA? Countless. Therefore, Houstonians
The morale was instantly shattered, and by the time the Player of the Match was announced, there were not many fans left inside the Toyota Center.
0-3 comeback? Who gave them the courage to think like this?
Harden’s injury is still uncertain? What kind of overturn is there? Is this a dream?
At the end of the game, Tang Qian won the best player of the game. He scored a total of 20 points, 22 rebounds, 10 blocks, 2 assists and 1 steal, a triple-double. That wave of continuous inside defensive single-block highlights
, was also a strong support for him to win the best of the game. In addition to him, Kobe scored 31 points, Gasol 16 points, Nash 8 points and 9 assists. In addition to Harden, the Rockets scored 36 points.
Howard was in a sluggish mood throughout the game and had yet to score more than ten points. Tang Qian wanted to see how those people at ESPN could hurt him and brag about the latter.
D'Antoni complained a little dissatisfiedly at the press conference. He said: I hope the Lakers can have the same home whistle in the future, otherwise the Rockets' 40+ free throws in a single game will be too hurtful.
His complaint is normal. The total number of free throws for the Lakers team is not half that of the Rockets? This is equivalent to losing a stable score of nearly 20 points! What do you think this is? Even if the shooting rate is lower, there is at least
Ten points. In basketball games, especially in the playoffs, 1 or 2 points can determine countless outcomes, let alone ten points at once?
Kobe also supported: He will try his best to kill the Rockets in the next game, and he wants to see if the referee is willing to give the Lakers a whistle.
However, their remarks were thought to involve "shady affairs" and "referees' impartiality", so the league office did not hesitate and issued a ticket. The number was not too high, but it was mainly used to establish prestige and warn. However,
D'Antoni doesn't regret saying this at all, because making such complaints is to express an attitude and let the league and referees not go "too far" or "go too far."
In history, many head coaches have been fined huge sums for this, but as long as the final effect is achieved, the fines are not in vain. This is also a team game, but it only extends from the inside to the outside. Only
Only those who are truly in this league can understand that the NBA is not simple.
Regarding this game, the most discussed issue after the game was of course the "penalty issue."
On the American reddit forum, a post titled "Rockets Super Home Baseball" was promoted to the top position, with replies and views both ranking at the forefront of new posts.
As soon as you enter, you will see various animations and screenshots, and then there will be various messages and comments.
The traces of "protection" in this game are so serious! Double the number of free throws? Why not just let the Rockets lead by 20 points from the beginning?
Look at our Lakers players, both twin towers were fouled and sent off! Kobe also committed 5 fouls! Nash committed 4 fouls! Fortunately, there was no overtime, otherwise we don’t know if we would have had to play on the bench.
Insider information, Adam Silver was at the game, and he shook hands with James Harden cordially before the game started. There are pictures and the truth.
This should be saying, hey, don’t worry and go perform, I’ve taken care of everything for you.
This kind of bullshit penalty! I think the referee should be fined!
Fug! bullshit! call! Another peak of bullshit whistle!
It was similar in China. Rockets fans were silent collectively because there were indeed too many "bias whistles" in this game. To use a simple home whistle, it was totally unjustifiable.
Look at this ball, Tang Qi almost had his teeth knocked out by Howard! There was no foul at all! He whistled as soon as he touched the opponent! This is really amazing!
The NBA should fire the referee of this game!
The people above don’t understand! If we are fired now, doesn’t it mean that we are telling you that we were wrong? There is a shady story? Therefore, these referees will definitely be fine! I guarantee it! It may even be the instruction of the league.
Maybe?
In fact, it doesn't matter if the scale changes. The referees are all humans and they cannot be as accurate as robots every time. But I am afraid of double standards! I will give him a "body hair whistle" but not you. You can see what the result will be.
?This is tantamount to indirectly manipulating the outcome of the game! If the Lakers hadn't been so strong throughout the game, they would have basically knelt down!
Have you Lakers fans finally realized the pain we Kings fans felt back then?
I think we should imitate the European leagues and implement a relegation system for referees, so that we can have a "source of living water"!
As the domestic ban was gradually lifted, Tang Qian's domestic reputation gradually expanded. Many basketball commentators began to publish comment articles about him. Some companies and manufacturers also smelled the smell and began to find ways to contact No. 29 on the other side of the ocean.
As for the "age gate"? Come on? Who cares about this now after you typed it???
Even Yi Di, if he could play well back then, as long as he could become an All-Star, would you give it a try? Then there are so many people talking about this bullshit? In competitive sports, everything depends on the results and performance.
But now Tang Qian has no time to pay attention to these domestic endorsement calls and emails, because the playoffs are elimination in nature, and there is a risk of being eliminated at any time before reaching the last step. He does not want to be distracted. He told Zhou Zhiru, Tang Qian
Qian continued to devote himself to personal and team training.
Because the Lakers' record continues to be high, many well-known commentators and reporters are now poaching and breaking news, good or bad. Anyway, as long as someone watches, is willing to watch, and is willing to pay, it's fine. Now the Lakers
After training, there are many people squatting outside every day, ready to seize the opportunity to do some "exclusives" and "highlights".
In other divisions of the Western Conference, the Spurs and Thunder are also fighting. Although it is not as smooth as the Lakers, the Spurs have already led the Thunder with a big score of 2-1. It is not that the Thunder are not strong and do not play well, but it is
They couldn't guard against the Spurs. For example, in the first game, they were blasted by the seemingly "aging" Spurs for 122 points, and took away the game by nearly 20 points. The two teenagers scored more than half of the Thunder, but they still couldn't win.
.The Spurs' overall explosion finally allowed people to see their terrifying power.
Control errors are the biggest problem.
The Thunder made too many mistakes in the playoffs and did not play well enough at key points. In the second game, they were even directly defeated by the San Antonio Spurs 112-77. The score difference exceeded 30 points and reached a huge 35 points. The largest
The local team directly broke through the gap of 40+ points! In this game, there was no resistance at all, it was the purest ravage.
Although they managed to win the third game by relying on crazy rush for rebounds, the price was too high. The main players of the Thunder played more than 40 minutes. Rao Shi grabbed 52 rebounds and blocked 10 blocks.
There were nearly 10 steals, but the score was still only a single-digit advantage. This was still a situation where the Spurs' collective shooting percentage was "ghosted". The team's shooting percentage was less than 40%. Therefore, in this series, the Spurs' advantage
It has already been reflected.
Taylor didn't have much free time to contact Tang Qian during this period, because her global tour has begun, and the latest stop is the other side of the ocean, the Magic City. The time is May 30, and what Tang Qian said that day
It was like a prophecy, and all the tickets were sold out less than a minute after they were released. This made Taylor a little surprised. She repeatedly asked on the phone whether Tang Qian had "prophetic properties". She was really
"lucky star" and the like.
Tang Qian had actually known this for a long time, so he just told Taylor in advance. He was not too surprised.
After saying "Cheer up for the show", Tang Qian hung up the phone. He actually didn't care much about the Rockets anymore.
Winning is basically a foregone conclusion, it just depends on whether we can complete the sweep. The key is still...
He looked at the Spurs highlights being played on the TV screen with a serious look on his face.
On May 12, US time, the Lakers and Rockets will compete in Game 4 at the Toyota Center.
Before this game, the top management of the Lakers announced that if they could sweep, everyone present would be given a customized "sweep badge" for the Lakers this season. Although it is not a particularly valuable thing, it is valuable to the fans.
It has great commemorative significance. In some aspects of the team's operations, Jenny has surpassed Buss Jr. by a lot. Now many small shareholders of the Lakers have begun to waver and slowly move closer to Jenny.
Current Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak always feels that if the Lakers make it back to the Finals this season, then Jenny will definitely use means to pressure Buss to step down. This is not too difficult, because
At present, it is proved that Buss is completely passive. His relationship with the legendary Lakers star is not as good as Jenny's, his team operation ability is not as good as Jenny's, and his vision of players is not as good as Jenny's. In this way... the future of the Lakers
The core, it’s hard to be from Bass’s side.
No, at least as far as we know right now, that No. 29 is already a member of Jenny's faction.
He was even directly recruited by Jenny's relative Bonnie Laughlin from the NBDL. No one with any conscience would take the initiative to obliterate this kindness of knowing people and supporting them. How did old Bass do it back then?
Mitch Kupchak knew the details of what was winning over Kobe. So how could he not understand how important it is to cultivate an absolute core of his own heart, especially a long-term core? It’s just that he
The bet failed.
His bet back then was Bynum, and later Howard. Facts have proved that these were disastrous bets.
I was wrong. The potential of this Oriental center has actually reached this level. If the patience, perseverance, and persistence can keep up, at least in the next 5 to 7 years, the Lakers will have a guaranteed record. If they can hunt a few more in the middle.
If a star comes over, who knows if he will skyrocket again? You have to know that the Lakers have always had a tradition of robbing stars.
Although both Johnson and Kobe are produced in-house.
In an interview, Kobe Bryant said unceremoniously: It will take 4 games to solve the problem, and he is not willing to go back to Staples Center to play against the Rockets again.
He is an authentic "old-school player". When facing opponents, he never knows what it means to be polite. At least that was always the case for Kobe before his Achilles tendon tear. What about this season? It has become more and more prominent and he has become less restrained.
the meaning of.
The strongest peak season, the last season, why are you so restrained?
If you win, you will be the championship, if you lose, you will be the top loser, and there will be no chance to do it again.
If that's the case, why are you being so polite?
The final act of madness is the characteristic of Kobe's paranoia, just like the Bulls and Jordan publicly issued a similar declaration of "the last dance". There is nothing to be polite about, because I want to win to the end, all teams
, are all opponents, are all enemies.
Why are you so polite with your enemies? Do you think this will be the league's star league structure after 2003?
Tang Qian also said: The next game when I return to Staples is to face another team, the Spurs or the Thunder.
Gasol and Nash were not so direct, and that was because Tang Qian and Kobe were enough to "get ahead".
Faced with this question, Harden and Howard both "hesitated" and "answered insufficiently." Some people cited Harden's sprained wrist, but in fact, with the physical fitness of NBA players, it is still okay to wear a bandage and play.
If it's not good enough, you can still close it, right? Besides, which NBA superstar doesn't have some injuries on his body? Who hasn't fought with injuries? This is not a big deal at all, because if he really can't play, he will simply go directly to the injured list.
.But even so, the spirit of Rockets No. 13 has already dissipated. Even earlier and cleaner than the team's Howard.
This is not to blame Harden. Until 2017, Harden actually had the habit of collapse in key playoff games.
For example, this season's original time and space, he just played like dog shit, a complete mess.
The Rockets didn't even make it past the first round.
The base shooting rate is 37.6%, the three-point shooting rate is 29.6%, if it were not for the free throw rate reaching 90%, the data would be completely incomprehensible.
There are many similar ones. In 2015, Harden was abandoned in the final quarter of a 19-point playoff reversal. In Game 6 of the 2017 Western Conference semifinals, Harden surrendered 10 points, 7 assists, 6 turnovers and 6 fouls before leaving the game.
Data. In the 2015 Western Conference Finals, the last game, a crucial game where if you lose, you go home. Originally, Rockets boss Harden could deliver close to 28+8+6+2, 47%+43%+87% in the series.
However, in the elimination round, he made an astonishing 2 of 11 shots, 18.2%+0%+76.9%, and only scored 14 points. And the most important thing is that he only scored 3 points in the second half and missed all 5 shots.
, if it were not a free throw, he would have lost zero.
Therefore, it is normal for Harden to fail in key playoff games. After McHale resigned as Rockets coach in the future, he began to bluntly ridicule Harden for his lack of leadership. At the same time, T.N.T TV commentator and former Rockets star Charles Barkley also said that he
I think James Harden has a mental disorder, similar to Jerry West and LeBron James in the first year of the team.
It's not a problem of ability, it's a problem of psychology.
The playoffs are different from the regular season. Not only is the scale changed, the confrontation is fierce and cruel, but it is also a time and stage that tests the will of the stars. At least as far as Tang Qian's memory as of September 2015, Harden is the playoffs.
A typical case of Sai falling out of line. This does not mean that he cannot change in the future, but that is also a matter of the future.
McHale still has a bit of Green Army spirit, but he has become the person with the most "fighting spirit" in the entire Rockets team. Faced with the Lakers' words, McHale counterattacked: History is created by people, and the Rockets have a huge
potential, they won't let the Lakers complete the sweep.
Unfortunately, as I said before, a head coach, especially a head coach who does not have absolute control over the team, is all in vain.
Nutritious and meaningless.
ESPN is also quite funny here. Tang Qian’s performance in this series has been impeccable. He has scored 18 points, 17 rebounds, 6 blocks and 2 assists in the three games, 16 points, 20 rebounds, 7 blocks and 2 assists. Statistics of assists and 1 steal, 20 points, 22 rebounds, 10 blocks, 2 assists and 1 steal. The shooting percentage is also quite superb, and he is completely different from the previous round.
Especially for the opponent, Dwight Howard's suppression was even more significant.
Howard played worse and worse every game, which made him give up on himself and become extremely frustrated.
Therefore, ESPN can only make a fuss about Tang Qian pushing away his teammate Jordan Hill in the last game, saying that he is a thug, the chief destroyer of the atmosphere in the locker room, and keeping him is a time bomb for the team. But when ESPN When someone wanted to interview the person involved, Jordan Hill, Hill's expression changed and he walked away without looking back.
Nonsense, what is the image of Lakers No. 29 in the Lakers now? What is his combat power? Do you want me to get punched?
It's hard for others to say, but this Oriental center really dares to fight with his teammates. How many of Howard and Bynum are unconvinced and have gone against him to please them? Now I heard that he is still the next core member of the team. candidate, if you provoke him at this time, do you think my brain is broken?
Regarding this comment, Tang Qian smiled and said: So I am a player, and they are keyboard warriors.
For a time, after the word "touch porcelain", the word "keyboard warrior" also became a popular word in the United States.
And the maker, without exception, is No. 29 of the Lakers.
Tang Qian couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. Is this also a kind of cultural export? Well, English words are always so unimaginative. Translate them into Chinese and then translate them back. On the contrary, they are much more subtle and interesting. .
The fourth game of the series against the Rockets seemed to have a more relaxed atmosphere than any other ongoing series.
PS: It’s still a big chapter. It’s hard to say what else Xiaoziren is doing in other places. The word count and quality will not be small. Who is the next opponent? You may have guessed it~ But I still want to complain about the environment of this small local Internet cafe. It’s really bad. How dare you call this an Internet cafe? Charge so much per hour? I’m convinced!
