Chapter 847 The almost out-of-control post-match press conference
104-103, the Lakers' one-point shot was defeated by Danny Green of the Spurs.
Speaking of Danny Green, in fact, it is better to say that this goal is the result of the Spurs team's tactical efforts. From the time Popovich deployed this tactic, the entire Spurs team was like a precision instrument, running perfectly.
There was no flaw at all. Not even a tiny bit.
Even though there were only 1.7 seconds left in the game, Duncan did not rush to take action, and still strictly implemented the tactical operation. Therefore, the Spurs' victory was definitely not a matter of one person, it belonged to all of San Antonio.
people.
Seeing the entire Spurs team surrounding Danny Green, who had made a 3-pointer, Tang Qian's eyes were stunned. His face seemed to be filled with disbelief. It was as if the noisy shouts around him were blocked out.
Now, there was only a blood-red 104-103 on the scorer. And just 1.7 seconds ago, that place was still 101-103.
Compared to the atmosphere at San Antonio's home court and the excited commentary at the AT&T Center, the Lakers' side was eerily quiet. This was not just a loss of a game. What was lost was the Lakers' entire season.
Postgame trip, and the morale of the remaining players in Los Angeles.
All of a sudden, it collapsed.
Just like the cheetah who gave his last breath, he finally fell before the finish line due to exhaustion.
His death was a bit unclear, and his death was a bit reluctant.
This is completely different from the feeling of losing in the regular season, or even the feeling of being eliminated in the previous playoffs.
After being eliminated by the Thunder in the first year, Tang Qian was still a pure rookie, and his statistics were just okay. His abilities were there, and without ability cards, he was simply an ordinary substitute and rotation player. In the second year, his
His personal strength has grown a lot, and he has received various personal honors. He should be a moderate star player. If the Lakers did not have the suppression of "number one center" Dwight Howard, then Tang Qian would only be able to play
It's better. Well, no matter what, Tang Qian won the final "Tang Huo Battle" anyway. He forced Howard to leave, and he finally became the well-deserved starting No. 5 position of the Los Angeles Lakers. But last year
The situation is equally bad. Kobe's Achilles tendon tear, Gasol's injury, Nash's injury, and the team's entire spirit have dissipated. The moment Kobe was retired for the season, the Los Angeles Lakers
He only regards entering the playoffs as the ultimate goal of the season. Although Tang Qian averaged 11.9 points, 21.9 rebounds, 7.6 blocks, 2.1 assists and 0.4 steals per game, he also shot 56% from the field.
Even in the fifth game of the series, he had an exciting 43 points, 29 rebounds, 9 blocks, 3 assists and 1 steal, a near triple-double. However, he still lost to the San Antonio Spurs in the last game, which was a pity.
Stopped in the first round.
But the situation in the past two years is different from this year. This year, too many people on the Lakers have bet on their careers and this season, including Tang Qian himself, who had high expectations for this year. Unexpectedly
, still want to stop in the Western Conference Finals.
Perhaps for many teams, reaching the Western Conference Finals is a very successful season, but for the current Lakers team, this is directly equivalent to failure.
A naked, utter failure.
And Tang Qian can be sure that the Lakers will not have such a good chance to win the championship in the next few years.
It's so shameful that he wasted this opportunity!
It's so shameful that he didn't seize this opportunity!
He still prevented Kobe and Nash from finally realizing their dreams. This is really shameful, isn't it???
They also talk about being a redirector and redefiner of history, but now? What is this? Is this a redirection? A redefinition??? It’s all bullshit!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!
In addition to Tang Qian, there was also Nash. He was also stunned for a moment. He watched Danny Green hit the reversal from the corner on the bench. At that moment, he felt as if something had been taken away from him.
.In my entire career, I never had the hope of winning the Larry O’Brien Cup again.
After Nash joined the Warriors' coaching staff in the future, he secretly kissed the championship trophy and FMVP trophy, which is evidence of this.
When Nash lost the 2010 Western Conference Finals, he hugged King Terry and burst into tears in the locker room, which is evidence of this.
This 40-year-old old man who is still working hard in the NBA has lowered his expectations again and again. He has gone from being the absolute leader in FMVP to winning the championship, to being the main player, or even being a substitute. But now... everything has become impossible.
Mirror flowers and water moon, everything becomes empty.
And he is also very aware of his physical condition. He is just holding it all in one breath and losing it. It is time for him to retire. If he delays it any longer, he will only get worse and worse and suffer more injuries.
His abilities are getting worse and worse, and he is becoming more and more annoying.
Of course, there is still the 24th. His eyes at this moment are full of various emotions, including unwillingness, surprise, fear, but more importantly, anger! Or extreme anger!!!
His performance tonight is not bad. He has scored 47 points. Starting from the second half, almost most of the Lakers' goals passed through his hands. He also played the whole game, from start to finish.
There is no trace of slack at the end. How can I...
Still lost to the San Antonio Spurs! Moreover, the opponent still took away the victory in the last 1.7 seconds!
How can he be willing to do this???
But we are all mature professional athletes, and we have to accept the facts and reality in the end.
If you lose, you lose. There is no way to change it.
You can only bow your head and admit defeat, lower your head and swallow it all.
Duncan and Kobe hugged each other, but compared to the former's smiling face, the latter's face was livid and there was no kindness in sight. If possible, Kobe would really wish...
Duncan also knew that No. 24 was in a bad mood, so he didn't care about anything. He hugged Nash and Gasol respectively. Finally, he walked towards Tang Qian, who was still in a daze and said: "Fang, you have done a good job, your rebound
The ball, your blocking, and your defensive power have reached a level rarely seen in the league. Believe me, don't be discouraged, the future belongs to you."
Duncan didn't mean any ridicule by saying this, and his tone was sincere, but Tang Qian still felt only unhappiness in his heart.
Extremely unhappy.
Duncan suddenly said something inappropriate at this time: "Tang, if you want to taste the finals as soon as possible and touch the supreme Larry O'Brien Cup as soon as possible, you can think about it next season.
Don't come to our Spurs team. I remember you signed a 1+1 contract, right? It's also a player option, so you can take advantage of it during the offseason..."
Hearing this, Tang Qian was really angry. He distanced himself from Duncan, and then said in a cold and stiff tone: "You just defeated me and you want to recruit me? Are you thinking too much? Ti
"M. Duncan???" Tang Qian directly called the Spurs No. 21 by his full name, and the meaning was obvious: "I can tell you this, I will never leave, and I will never join you in San Antonio. What I want is to defeat
You guys! Step on your heads and enter the finals!!! Go and win my own championship!!!”
"Hot! Are you really not thinking about it? You are a professional player, and this is the NBA. To use Kevin's words, don't let your loyalty hurt you." Duncan seemed to really want the No. 29 in front of him.
He wanted to join the Spurs, so he did not give up and continued to persuade him. When Tang Qian heard this, he angrily said:
"Why don't you leave? Why do you think you won't leave San Antonio for the rest of your life? If you can't answer my question, stop talking to me about recruiting nonsense!" Tang Qian said in an extremely unkind tone: "I'm not Garnett.
!I am not James either! I am who I am! What I want to do is defeat! Not join! Not surrender to the enemy! Not join forces!!!”
"Good night! I hope you enjoy the night!" After saying this, Tang Qian walked towards the player tunnel angrily without looking back.
The back view and the answer actually made the famous Tim Duncan speechless. He didn't know how to answer for a while.
This little guy...
Duncan shook his head after a while, then turned around and joined the Spurs players in cheers.
At the post-game press conference, no one from the Lakers team showed up in a good mood.
Regardless of whether it is Kobe, Nash or Tang Qian, they all have a "cold and stinky face" that refuses to let strangers in. Whenever an indifferent reporter asks some inappropriate questions, the three of them will respond directly and bluntly.
Even Steve Nash, who has always appeared in the league as a "nice gentleman", was possessed by evil fire tonight. A reporter asked a wrong question, and Nash immediately said unceremoniously: How do I know about the Spurs?
Who is the better team or the Heat? If you want to know the answer, just ask Popovich or Erik Spoelstra.
Normally, Steve Nash would never say this, but tonight, when he thought that his career was about to end in the Western Conference Finals, his temper also rose. No matter who you are
, I no longer want to be more reserved.
Nonsense! I’ve been reserved for 18 years! I’m 40 years old! I’m in my last season! Can’t I just have a little temper tantrum for one night???
Damn the media!!! Damn San Antonio!!! Damn the Western Conference Finals!!!
Someone also asked Tang Qiandao, who scored 14 points, 25 rebounds, 9 blocks and 2 assists:
Hot, do you think you have gotten out of the haze of the previous two games by scoring a quasi-triple-double tonight?
Tang Qian was similar to Nash. He opened his mouth and said:
What kind of triple-double? The answer is that we lost! So don’t ask me about the data! It doesn’t make any sense! It doesn’t make any sense! OK???
There was also a reporter who stood up and asked:
Please tell me, how did you feel at that moment when you got the buzzer beater? Do you regret not seeing through Duncan's fake shot?
Tang Qian got a little angry when he heard this. When he saw the reporter's work badge, he became even more angry and said:
Is there something wrong with your ESPN? How do you feel when you get a buzzer beater? It’s like having your lower body suddenly cut off while you were having sex!!! Do you understand? This ball is mine
The responsibility is that I did not defend Tim Duncan well in the end!!! I will apologize to the whole team!!! Are you satisfied???
"Tang, don't get too excited. Remembering so many things can easily affect your public image." The Lakers' press officer kindly reminded Tang Qian from behind. Unfortunately, the next person immediately made the scene explode even more.
Please ask Bryant, what do you think the Lakers should do next season? In order to enter the finals again? In order to defeat the San Antonio Spurs???
Kobe said with a gloomy face:
I don't know what next season should be like. That's a matter for the management. I just want to say that the season is not over yet and we have not really been eliminated. Let's wait until we are really swept out to talk about these stupid questions!
As for how to beat the Spurs, I will tell you in the next game.
At this time, the scene became lively, because most reporters were very smart, so they immediately grasped the essence and highlights of Kobe’s words:
Bryant! You mean the Lakers still have hope of advancing to the Finals? Right?
Another ESPN reporter said:
With all due respect! Bryant! After falling behind 0-3 in the series, no team in NBA history has ever made a successful comeback. Why do you think the Lakers can do it? Or are you just repeating 2010?
-2012 playoff nonsense?
This sentence refers to something, because the Lakers were led by a big score in the playoffs in those two years, and Kobe also said similar things. Maybe you think I am crazy, but I still believe in the Lakers.
A successful comeback can be achieved.
The result, of course, was failure.
Kobe's words naturally became the butt of laughter for a while.
Kobe looked at the ESPN reporter who asked the question, his eyes almost made icicles, and he blurted out:
Just because we are the Los Angeles Lakers! Just because we have Kobe Bryant on the team!!!
But the reporter said with some irony:
Sorry, Bryant, your words are completely meaningless. To me, they look more like boring and cruel words that you have to do after losing a fight but just to lose face. The fact is that you were defeated by the Spurs and the Lakers.
The team has fallen behind 0-3, and in NBA history, no team has ever made a comeback.
Never.
Not once.
Hearing this, Kobe actually got a little out of control and stood up. He was in an extremely bad mood. He had no future, but he still had to listen to this reporter who was like a shit.***,
He could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.
In an instant, the scene fell into chaos.
