Chapter 875 It's time for you to give way to me~ I wish you a happy New Year~
Unfortunately, Tang Qian's ball did not include an extra penalty, so at the end of the third quarter, the two sides tied at 76-76.
The Lakers actually tied the game by 19 points in just half a quarter!
This is something that few people have thought of before.
Many Lakers fans sitting in front of TVs and computers have a spark of fire in their hearts. They believe that they can at least win one game and not go home with a shaved head. This is not a matter of winning or losing the series.
When the overall situation cannot be changed or reversed, winning 1 to 2 games and saving a little dignity is what they want the Lakers to do.
At least this one feels more real, but isn’t it more practical?
The Spurs are not too panicked, because they are already leading 3-0, and promotion is inevitable, so the choice for the San Antonio people at the moment is to sweep or not sweep. The pressure to advance does not exist for them.
In the fourth quarter, the Spurs replaced Duncan and the entire lineup returned to the starting lineup. After all, in Popovich's words, if you can sweep, it is best to sweep, so as not to waste time and waste extra energy before the finals. Lakers
On the surface, the team's morale seems to have recovered less, but in the mainland, it is still a strong team but a strong one. Some people even think that they are going to be eliminated anyway. In fact, the difference between being late and early is not big, is it?
If we want them to truly arouse fighting spirit and hard work from the bottom of their hearts, this current situation and this prospect are still far from enough.
We still need more hope and greater probability.
You can't ask everyone to be both Kobe and Tang Qian, right?
But soon, Tang Qian was about to cause the Spurs to suffer a "big loss", because after returning to the field, he actually scored 2 more goals in the paint. In contrast, the Spurs felt worse, 2 times
None of the shots hit the Los Angeles Lakers' basket.
80-76, the Lakers took the lead from the start.
The Spurs broke through from the middle but were interfered by Tang Qian, and the rebound was strongly protected by Sacre.
This is also the reason why Tang Qian admires Thackeray more than Jordan Hill. It is true that the latter's scoring ability is better than the former, and he also has decent mid-range skills. However, he plays too loosely, too loosely, and pays too much attention to statistics.
, which is completely opposite to Sacre's hard-working and uncomplaining attitude. The Lakers are not here to mess up this season, so they need more down-to-earth thumbtacks and people who are more passionate and bloody.
Kobe took a position on the right flank, and the moment he held the ball, he attracted two people from the Spurs. Duncan stood in front of Tang Qian personally when the ball was passed, no longer letting the Brazilian Thiago Split to defend him. Kobe
After being double-teamed, he quickly distributed the ball. The ball was actually not distributed slowly, but Meeks hesitated for a moment, which allowed the Spurs' defense to rotate and tag back.
That's the case with Meeks. He's fine when hitting downwind balls, but some "inexplicable" problems often occur on such key balls and when he needs to score points. This is very similar to Spurs guard Mark Berry.
Nellie. It seems to be pretty good in the regular season and pretty easy to use, but in the playoffs it's not as good as the regular season, and it's an overall decline.
As a player who mainly shoots, his field goal percentage in the playoffs is only about 38%, and his unique skill of open three-pointers is only about 33%. You must also know that he is not Kobe or McGrady.
For an attacker like Sen, he is a functional player through and through, a role player. Generally, the chances of taking shots are opportunity balls or open shots. In this case, it is impossible to justify such a shooting rate.
From this point of view, he is not even as good as Spurs substitute Mark Belinelli.
After all, I haven’t forgotten the responsibility of being a three-point shooter. The three-point shooting percentage in the playoffs is even slightly higher than in the regular season. How is he like Jodi Meeks? An open shooter and a functional player in the fixed-point battery.
, can actually shoot 33% of the three-pointers? Isn’t this a joke?
This ball is an obvious problem. Jordy Meeks himself does not have enough confidence in himself to play in the playoffs.
He doesn't have the ability to attack with the ball. When he dribbles in front of Danny Green, he just looks for mistakes, so after making a few useless ugly test steps, he hurriedly passes the ball out.
.I originally wanted to pass it to Kobe, but Kobe was watched too closely, so I could only temporarily change the passing target and throw the basketball in my hand into the inside.
Inside, Tang Qian stepped forward slightly and got the ball, which was not passed very well.
Thackeray was very smart and sensible. He quickly chose to go around and take his defender out of the inside line on the same side.
All of a sudden, the entire right inside area of the Spurs was cleared, leaving only No. 29 of the Lakers and No. 21 of the Spurs. After Tang Qian held the ball, he looked at Duncan and said: "Tim, you
Remember what you said to me, right?"
Duncan looked at Tang Qian and said, "What are you talking about?"
"If I defeat you, the future will be mine."
Duncan nodded generously and admitted: "Yes, I said that, but the premise is that you can do it. Although I don't know why you insist on playing after being hit on the head, but I
People have their own characteristics."
"I will show no mercy to any opponent."
"It doesn't matter whether he's healthy or on his hands, it's the same."
When Tang Qian heard this, he turned around and faced Tim Duncan from behind. "There is no need to be merciful. I advise you to do your best. Otherwise, the end may be ugly." "Haha~ you."
Let's talk about it after we've done it~" Duncan also smiled and didn't care about Tang Qian's verbal attacks at all.
"Okay, then you'll be optimistic." After Tang Qian finished speaking, he started to move with the ball. He really had to hold the ball to attack this time.
He attacked the "super rookie" No. 21, Tim Duncan, who had always been hampered offensively.
When the Spurs' on-site commentators saw this scene, they all said in amusement:
"Isn't it better to burn his head? Has he lost his memory? Has he forgotten how he was abused by Tim's defense before?"
"I guess I don't want to give up. I want to get a few more big shots and hit a few more rebounds, so I feel satisfied."
"What do you think Tim is thinking right now, old man?"
"Tim? Facing Dongfang Fang's attack, Tim probably won't have any ideas, right? Hahahaha~"
In addition to these comments, there were some Spurs fans in the front row, who were also shouting something loudly. Tang Qian didn't listen carefully, but he didn't even think about it. It was definitely not a good word. But, to deal with this kind of thing
Sound, the best way for these people is to hit them in! Just hit them head-on in front of Tim Duncan!
This is more effective than any other method of shutting up!!!
The dunk with the ball just now was actually just a small test. Now is the first step he needs to take.
Defeat the Spurs' defensive cornerstone and defensive core, the famous Tim Duncan.
Tang Qian suddenly started. The speed, rhythm, and pace of the attack were all astonishing. Tim Duncan, at least, did not expect that this attack would appear on Lakers No. 29.
However, he reacted quickly and chose to move with a sliding step, suddenly blocking the former's offensive route.
This move seems to be just a simple sliding move, but it reflects the defensive skills and defensive skills of the Spurs No. 21. Duncan has definitely reached the level of a master in judging the defensive position and defensive space. After all, it has been since the late 1990s.
The strongest PF in history who has been killing people along the way! Will a man who can sit in this position be an ordinary superstar? An ordinary super giant?
Then you underestimate Tim Duncan too much.
At the age of 38 to 39, he can still serve as the defensive cornerstone and core of the Spurs. He can also be selected for the All-NBA Team and the All-Defensive Team. This is something that countless insider superstars and super giants cannot do. Duncan's defense,
Although he has never been selected as DPOY, he has always been at the forefront of the league. Except for the last season of his career, he was always online.
He is 38 years old, but that doesn't mean he has lost his star energy.
If this ball were played by an ordinary active insider, 70% of it would be blocked, hindering its power and offensive. But... Duncan noticed something was wrong at the moment of physical contact! This guy...
With a muffled sound of "bang", Tang Qian directly knocked Duncan away from his original defensive position. Then, the purple and gold No. 29, without stopping, directly jumped to the ground with both feet and flew into the air with one arm!
Duncan tried his best to reach out to interfere and block the shot, but it was already too late. His arm was waving empty.
Almost at the same time, a squeaking sound from the basket sounded in Duncan's ears. Looking out of the corner of his eye, he saw Laker No. 29 dunking the basketball into the Spurs' basket with one hand.
After both of them landed, Tang Qian spoke and said, "If I defeat you, the future will be mine."
Looking at the back of No. 29 turning away, Duncan said nothing. He just joined the Spurs' offensive round with an expressionless face.
82-76, the Lakers lead by 6 points.
The Spurs played a small off-ball screen near the free throw line. First, Parker went deep to attract the Lakers' defensive attention. Then Duncan and Splitter played a misplaced screen inside. When Duncan came out, Parker's pass
The ball arrived. Then No. 21 of the Spurs hit the board with a hook near the penalty area, and the basketball flew over Sacre's head and into the net.
82-78, completely denying the opponent a goal is unrealistic, so what Tang Qian has to do is...
He holds the ball in the penalty area again???
Are the Lakers really planning to let him focus on this period? Are they going to single out Tim Duncan???
Domestically, Tianchao Sports Channel also concentrated its efforts and said:
"The Lakers gave the ball to the inside again, to No. 29 Tang Qian. Do they want him to play consecutive singles? Coach Zhang?"
"Depending on the situation, it should be true, but this may be a bit... After all, Tang Qian's offense is not as good as rebounding and defense. If he has Yao Ming's ability to kill under the basket, then this..." Zhang Weiping has not said yet.
After that, I saw a tall Zijin No. 29 on the broadcast screen, holding the ball head-on again, and successfully beat Duncan in singles facing the basket. At this time, Zhang Weiping seemed to be choked, but the old man was not embarrassed, but his face showed
He looked thankfully and said: "Not bad, not bad. It seems that Duncan's defensive status is not very good tonight. Tang Qian has an opportunity."
Is it true that Duncan was in poor defensive form tonight? Of course not, otherwise, how could he suppress Tang Qian on the defensive end in the previous three quarters?
All of a sudden, the Lakers' No. 29 was in an offensive state.
So it feels like Duncan's defensive status has declined.
This little guy, he...
As one of the top ten superstars in history, Duncan has been immersed in the court for many years. He can keenly feel the changes in his opponent. The feeling given to him by Lakers No. 29 now is that he is completely different from the previous three quarters. And the latter
His ability to face the basket reminded Duncan of a name that once impressed him deeply.
Amare Stoudemire.
Why him? Why Stoudemire? The answer is simple. In the 2005 Western Conference Finals, this third-year student once faced Duncan who was still at his peak, and he averaged 37+ points per game in the series! In that game, Duncan
He also averaged 27+ points per game, which is not bad, but he was scored by his opponent. Even with full attendance, Duncan had to shoulder the biggest responsibility. It can even be said that that year's Western Conference Finals,
The Spurs won the game, but Duncan was completely blown away on the defensive end by third-year Amar'e Stoudemire!
This is also the most ugly series matchup in Tim Duncan's entire career.
Taking a closer look at his career, No. 21 of the Holy City has faced countless high-quality insiders, such as KG, Nowitzki, Chris Webber, Yao Ming, O'Neal, Olajuwon, Ewing, etc., but none of them has been successful in the series.
It made his defense so ugly. He was 29 years old that year, in his prime, but he was completely attacked by a 23-year-old boy. You can say that this was Stoudemire's performance in that series.
He has reached the limit and entered the "super god" state many times. However, since he is a player in the same position, he cannot wash it away no matter how hard he washes it.
Of course, considering Duncan's career, there is no need to wash his hands.
However, it is normal for Duncan to remember this name for the rest of his life.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, someone would once again remind him of this past event, this name, and this figure.
84-78.
But a few rounds didn't mean anything, and Duncan wouldn't be shaken so easily.
On the offensive end, the Spurs still played steadily and got an opportunity, but Danny Green did not seize this opportunity.
Turning around, it's the Lakers again. Kobe is being double-teamed or is ready to be double-teamed at any time. Only the inside is the best attacking area. Because Tim Duncan is the only one there. Tang Qian really wants the ball continuously, and he takes it.
After getting the ball, he looked at Tim Duncan in front of him and said: "I will defeat you and then start my future."
"You are 38 years old, it's time to give up your position, at least..." Tang Qian held the ball and lowered his body and said, "You have to give up a position for me." After that, Tang Qian made a breakthrough and then cut in.
He hit the Spurs' basket, faced the Holy City No. 21, and forced a shot.
Brush~
Incredible winning of 3 yuan in a row!
It's as if the previous three and a half games were all a dream, and now it's reality.
The leveraging of history and the changing of its wheels often begin with a specific event.
In this series, what Tang Qian is doing is leveraging and changing.
