Chapter 975 Is 7 consecutive victories enough? Here we go~
Three days after defeating the Timberwolves, the Lakers played at home against the Toronto Raptors, who have the best record in the Eastern Conference this season.
The Raptors are currently at 13 wins and 3 losses, a good start, but with DeRozan's repeated minor injuries, the team will soon fall into a downturn with a declining record. In the end, Tang Qian remembers that it ended with around 49 wins. It can be said that
What a waste of such a strong start.
This game was also a game in which DeRozan was absent. Faced with this kind of game in which the scoring leader was absent, the Lakers bombed easily and harvested points wantonly. They scored a total of 134 points. Although the Raptors also scored 120 points, it didn't matter.
.This kind of high-scoring, high-scoring game is D’Antoni’s coaching style and D’Antoni’s coaching rhythm.
Anyway, in the end, the game was won by a margin of 14 points, which is not a lot.
Tang Qian still scored 29 points, 25 rebounds, 5 blocks and 2 assists, and the others also got good statistics.
This is the benefit of playing under D'Antoni's system. The data overflows at the same time, and "even the rain and dew are affected". Even small substitutes and small benches have a certain data bonus effect. Furthermore, if you focus on offense and neglect defense, it is easy to trigger
Players' motivation and enthusiasm for the game. Because everyone knows that offense is more energetic than defense.
12 wins and 5 losses, 4 consecutive wins, but it still did not attract too much attention, because in this period, the winners were indeed not strong teams. Or the main players were absent, such as the Grizzlies' game, such as the Raptors' game
, so the gold content is not enough. ESPN just indifferently raised the Lakers' strength rankings slightly by one place this week, 19 places, which means there is no change.
If you want to break this point of view, you need to prove yourself with actual actions. How to prove it? You need to deal with strong teams.
Otherwise, some "authoritative media" from the outside world would think that the "gold content" is not enough.
It's a pity that the next game will still be a weak team, not just as weak as usual.
Although the Detroit Pistons have the increasingly powerful third-year "Drummond" Andre Drummond, it still doesn't help. Because the overall Pistons team is too bad. One "Drummond" can't change anything.
It's a problem. Moreover, "Zhuang Shen"'s player characteristics are all covered and suppressed by Tang Qian. For example, in rebounding, he has ranked third in the rebounds per game list this season, with an average of 13+ rebounds per game, second only to
With DeAndre Jordan and Tang Qian. It's a pity that he can't even win against DeAndre Jordan this season, let alone Tang Qian. Tang Qian currently averages more than 20 rebounds per game, suppressing all the rebounding masters in the league and making them breathless.
No matter how strong Drummond is, he can only hold it in. No matter how unhappy he is, he can only endure it. Because if you can't beat him, you can only swallow your anger, train yourself hard, and then vent your anger when you become a winner one day.
This has been an unwritten rule of the league for many years.
"Damn it! Dongfang Fang! I must defeat you! I will not lose to you!!! I am the number one blue-collar worker in the league!!!" But faced with the words of the third-year "Zhuang Shen", Tang Qian could only
He smiled nonchalantly and said, "Okay, just come over here. I'm looking forward to having someone compete with me here, although I don't care about the title of 'first blue collar'."
Tang Qian didn't know that this young man would have a strong "rage" ability in the future. In some games, he could continuously score terrifying statistics. And many things, since you have changed history, then history will also be on you.
get back.
This is right, otherwise, if you, an "outlier", are allowed to mess around like this, the wheel of history will have no inertia or reaction at all?
A change is just once. In many novels, after they confront history for the first time and succeed once, the wheel of history that was previously mentioned as magical and mysterious suddenly disappears. Isn’t this nonsense?
?History has always existed. As long as you, Tang Qian, are still here, it will not disappear. Even if humans become extinct, it will always exist.
Inertia, how can it be broken once and then gone?
Of course, a real strongman will not be afraid of these things. As long as you keep fighting and winning, the inertia of history can only be deflected by you. Only then will you be considered a real "changer of the trajectory of history."
exist".
Not to mention these, the record of 13 wins and 5 losses is still very good. Currently, the Lakers have returned to fifth place in the Western Conference, and are only half a game away from fourth place. 5 consecutive victories, and even more so now.
The highest winning streak of the season.
But because it was still a weak team that won, the overall change in public opinion did not improve.
The people at ESPN even use this to mock the Lakers from time to time, saying that they are strong on the outside but hard on the inside. Their five-game winning streak is partly due to the schedule and partly to luck. If the core players of the Grizzlies and Raptors were not absent, the Lakers would have
The team has already lost.
Regarding this view, since Tang Qian is already the boss of the team, of course he has to stand up and do what he should have done on the 24th.
Resist firepower, speak for the whole team, or fire cannons.
We are not a weak team! Listen up! We, the Lakers, are not here to be a green leaf this season!
We are here to compete for the championship! Do you understand?
But when he said this, no one believed it. Many experts and reporters made mocking sounds:
WOW~Dongfang Fang said that the Lakers are still a championship contender this season? Without Kobe, Gasol and Nash, are they still a championship contender? It's really amazing.
This kind of morale-boosting lie is of no use at all! Instead, the Lakers will be crushed by this kind of pressure!
Orientals still don’t know our American leadership spirit and essence! That trick won’t work for us!
Tang Qian is keeping these in mind for now, and when the opportunity comes, he will fight back one by one.
That's right, do you want to be so "petty" in holding a grudge and letting me go? Be a Paladin? Be a Virgin? What kind of international joke are you kidding?
Is it Jordan? Is it Kobe? Is it Iverson? Is it Russell? Is it Kareem Abdul-Jabbar? Is it O'Neal?
Except for the 2003 generation, how many of the previous stars dressed up as "Mr. Nice Guys"?
Anyway, I don't intend to give in to them or bow to them, so in this battle, I have to fight whether I want to or not.
Wasn't Jordan hacked for 6 to 7 years? But the more it is like this, the more legendary it becomes, the more stable and indestructible it becomes once it reaches the top. What Tang Qian wants to follow is the path of Jordan's school.
.This is the path of Bill Russell’s school.
Counterattack to reach the top, push back to become the king.
On December 3, the Lakers won again, defeating the Washington Wizards 120-110, with a 10-point advantage.
In fact, the Wizards have a good record this season, but who calls it an Eastern Conference team? When he was talking about James, he never mentioned the overall gap between the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference. When Tang Qian came here, he started talking about "the West is stronger than the East."
"Weak" pattern. Really, shameless!!! But going back on one's word is a necessary survival skill set for these "authoritative media". Without this, they will not be able to survive for two or three days.
When it comes to the importance of a good face to "authoritative media", it couldn't be more correct.
After this game, the Lakers had 14 wins and 5 losses, returning to the fourth place in the Western Conference. At the same time, the team achieved 6 consecutive victories.
The new MVP list is out, and Tang Qian has improved a bit, sitting in the eighth position. This speed is really slow enough. But it doesn’t matter, it’s enough to move up in general. When the time comes, you will be there
This group of "senior keyboard warriors" suffered!
On December 5th, the Lakers played against the Celtics. Now the gimmick of the yellow-green war is gone. At least the Celtics have entered a thorough reconstruction period. Look at these people. Except for the original Rondo, he is still there.
The rest of the people are all familiar names. Tyler Zeller, Jared Sullinger, Avery Bradley, Jeff Green. These people are the current starting lineup of the Green Army and their combat capabilities.
Really not. There is no strong man on the bench, whether it's Alvin Turner, Kelly Olynyk, Brandon Bass, Marcus Thornton, or the aging Gerald Hua.
Rice, Phil Plessy, James Young. It can be said that... in the future, none of these people can be played. At most, they will be on the bench and ordinary main rotation. Including Rajon Rondo himself,
About to fall, lose his star status and become an ordinary player.
Therefore, in this game, the Lakers broke out as a whole and scored 139 points in one breath! Basically, there was no resistance from the Green Army. They were beaten by the Lakers throughout the whole game and could not see any chance. They had no choice but to
At 99 points, to be honest, the Lakers did not defend much in this game. The offense was too exciting, and the lead was huge, so it was completely offensive. But even so, the Celtics only
Scored 99 points, with this pace and this number of rounds, this is considered a poor performance.
A complete mess.
And 40 points can be called an absolute massacre.
No wonder Boston's local newspapers "Boston Globe" and "Boston News" both pointed out that last night's game was a disaster! There is nothing worse than losing to the Lakers by 40 points! I hope Boston's
The management should make changes immediately and don't waste another season!
And as if Boston's top brass heard it, not long after, just a few weeks later, their core players were traded, and they were completely declared to be in a "bad" state, waiting for more outstanding newcomers to join the team and re-train and level up.
This is more impressive than the Tang Qian trade, which was said to be the biggest trade since the start of the season. Rajon Rondo, who was only 28 or 29 years old at the time, brought an NBA core championship and four All-Defensive Team appearances.
1 All-Pro, 2 assists, 1 steals, 4-time All-Star joined Dallas. The situation that year was that everyone in the Mavericks was excited. Parsons, who was only traded to the Mavericks this season, directly declared in an interview with ESPN
This is an exciting operation! He can't wait for the game to start!
To put it simply, look at the changes in the championship odds that Las Vegas has opened for the Mavericks.
Originally, the Mavericks were ranked in the top 20 in odds, and the highest was once ranked as high as 16, and then fell. With the arrival of Rondo, where did the Mavericks' odds of winning the championship rise to? It jumped directly to fifth place! As high as
The odds are 8 to 1!
This was also said to be a stroke of genius at the time, and countless reporters and experts exaggerated and analyzed the matter in detail.
It seemed as if the Mavericks were suddenly about to join the championship race again. However, Tang Qian knew that this was all a mirror of the past. This was because Rondo's arrival did not create a chemical reaction at all, but instead destroyed the Mavericks.
The original start ended up being unsuitable and he was sent away by the Mavericks after only one season.
This transaction has become a bit of a joke.
As for the Lakers, Yuan Shikong was also one of Rondo's suitors, and Kobe even personally invited Rondo to have a meal alone.
But in this time and space, Tang Qian had no interest in Rondo, because Rondo was too controlling of the ball, and he didn't bother to train someone who couldn't get along with Nowitzki. It was because of the "Big Three" back then.
He doesn't dare to make trouble even if he is suppressed, but this does not mean that he is a good boy. According to the detailed disclosures in Ray Allen's post-retirement memoir "Looking From the Outside: My Life and Basketball", for example
To give a simple example, Ray Allen recalled that in a team meeting during the 10-11 season, Rajon Rondo actually said wildly: I led you to win the championship in 2008! These words immediately ignited the fire.
Ray Allen's anger! The relationship between him and Rondo deteriorated rapidly, and eventually got out of hand! In the end, Ray Allen gave Rondo a conclusion in the book: He wanted to be a leader without doing what he should do.
players.
This is undoubtedly a huge irony.
Therefore, Rondo's "high self-esteem" caused him to suffer a lot later. In addition, his shooting was also very problematic, so Tang Qian had no interest in him at all. He also did not recommend that the management sign him in the summer.
This person.
This decision will prove to be correct in the future. After all, it doesn't matter if there is no shooting. After leaving Boston, no, after leaving the "Boston Big Three", Rondo has become a complete "real data brush". Why? Because?
He has even lost his strongest defense, so what else is he going to do?
In addition, he is so self-righteous, so it is better to be obedient and conscientious, at least Jeremy Lin, who plays hard and conscientiously. At least the latter will not become a time bomb in the locker room.
After winning 7 games in a row, before they knew it, the Lakers had 15 wins and 5 losses, completely securing the fourth place in the Western Conference.
But because the winners were all weak teams and teams short of major generals, they still did not receive more fair treatment and attention.
However, as they continue to win and work together, the atmosphere within the Lakers team is getting better and better. Tang Qian's iron-fisted dominance has prevented the team from competing for power and profit. In addition, D'Antoni's division of labor is relatively clear, and gradually
In fact, the Lakers as a whole have begun to form a good understanding and team strength.
And this is actually just the beginning, 7 consecutive victories? Tang Qian looked at this group of teammates and couldn't help but smile:
Is this enough?
