Chapter 978 Big cousin, look at my smile looking up at the sky 45 degrees~
But in the next game, the Lakers still got "lucky". How should I put it?
The Thunder, which was supposed to be a strong team, has gradually declined due to the absence of one person due to injury. Now it has 12 wins and 14 losses, and has fallen out of the top eight in the Western Conference. This person is Kevin Durant. This has happened repeatedly this season.
Durant returned from injury and was injured again.
Why do we say that Durant's injury is "lucky" for the Lakers? Isn't this "lucky" for the entire league? After all, Durant has now proven himself that he is a superstar-level player.
The absence is a big blow to the Thunder. So, why only refer to the Lakers? This is because Durant was injured again and left the game while fighting the Warriors on December 18, 2014, U.S. time, and returned.
He only played 19 minutes in a few games, and his 30 points in 19 minutes shocked countless people. If you know the history of the NBA better, you know that this is since the NBA and ABA merged to form the major leagues.
The first person to score 30 points in less than 20 minutes. As for the past, of course there were many, at least Chamberlain did it many times. However, the good times did not last long, Du Qiqi sprained his right ankle at the last moment of the first half
, X-ray exposure is negative, and I have to rest during this period.
And the timeline of this game is the day before the game against the Lakers, that is to say, the day before the back-to-back with the Lakers, Durant, who was in great shape, suddenly... fell down inexplicably like this? So, this
What is it if it's not "luck"?
This is really not the "butterfly effect". This is what happened in the original time and space, but Tang Qian just caught up with it now.
This is really... damn! It’s so unlucky, isn’t it???
Is there such an unlucky situation? Where is the "double young team" that was promised? Where is the Thunder that was promised to be a strong team? All of a sudden, it became the "old, weak, sick and disabled" again??? Isn't this kidding me???
Tang Qian looked at the headline of an ESPN article on the Internet titled "Lakers Luck Explodes" and felt as if ten thousand horses had passed by. This is really... I don't want to run into a weak team? I don't want to run into it.
Are you on the remnant team? Can you give me a strong team with a neat lineup to play against? If you don’t give me a strong team, how can I clear my name? How can the Lakers clear their name???
It’s so fucked up!!!
Of course, Tang Qian actually remembered that Durant was about to be reimbursed this season, so the Thunder were destined to have little competitiveness this season and become a one-man team with Westbrook alone.
Sure enough, the Lakers defeated the Thunder with 13 points, 117-104.
Even if Westbrook got 31+10+5 data, it was of no use, the Thunder still lost.
And his data clearly shows that after the game has entered "garbage time", he took advantage of Tang Qian's absence to make a sharp brushstroke. Otherwise, just looking at the previous game data, except for the assists, the points and shooting percentages are terrible.
.
This operation has been gradually learned by many league teams since James and Howard.
Anyway, most fake fans don't play much. They just glance at the statistics after the game. Therefore, if you lose the game, you can't lose the statistics. Taking advantage of "garbage time" to make money is also a kind of "political correctness"
"It's decided.
At least when people chat, they will say, look, XXX’s data is actually pretty good, and he tried his best.
Tang Qian actually likes Westbrook quite a lot. His style of play and personality are what Tang Qian thinks are very good. If possible, it is not impossible to bring him to the Lakers. I believe that in the hands of D'Antoni, his No. 1
Position ability will also be liberated. Since he is also an inside post anyway, he does not need possession of the ball, he only needs a certain degree of shooting rights.
So...well, I don't know if Lei Lei is willing to let him go.
In this game, Tang Qian didn't play much time, so he "only" scored 15 points, 17 rebounds, 4 blocks and 2 assists. The best performance of the game belonged to the young Julius Landry. He scored 15 points, 17 rebounds, 4 blocks and 2 assists.
The game broke out, and he scored 30+11+2+2. Although he took the pie, that is, the assist rate was very high, it was already rare and valuable for a rookie like him.
And I don’t know why, some details are different from Tang Qian’s memory.
But that's not a good thing. It's naturally for the best that it didn't happen.
However, can it really be so safe and sound? Everything is unknown.
At least now Tang Qian is unpredictable.
13 consecutive wins! Even the Golden State Warriors, the league's No. 1 team, failed to do it and were interrupted midway. Right now, only the Cleveland Cavaliers in the East are neck and neck with the Lakers in terms of winning streak.
But looking at it after the game, it turned out that the "authoritative media" were all on the same page. Although congratulations to the Lakers for winning 13 consecutive victories, "luck" has always been interspersed in it. Reading through the whole article, it is actually ironic.
More than congratulations.
Especially the sports columnist Jason Whitelock, who wrote a joke on his personal Twitter:
I learned a new word today, "mysterious Eastern power". I wonder if this "mysterious Eastern power" also has a good bonus to luck value? This depends on how you judge. Anyway, I am
I feel that Durant was injured just before the game against the Lakers. It is difficult to say that this is not the influence of "some mysterious force".
Tang Qian was not angry with this guy at all. The grudge between him and him had long been forged in the "Umbrella Incident". So the Lakers said in an interview with local media in Los Angeles on the 29th:
If I really had some "mysterious Eastern power", I would be the first to ask some idiot named Whitelock to lie down in the hospital bed!
Jason Whitelock did not show weakness and immediately posted a new tweet: "Mysterious Mr. Eastern Power." Can you please prove yourself before you speak? Including your umbrella model! Please prove yourself before you open your mouth! Here is
In the United States, everything needs to be supported by facts!
Damn you bastard! When Tang Qian saw this, he secretly remembered it, waiting for the day when the Lakers defeated a strong team, and then he would fight back and make this useless Whitelock feel as uncomfortable as a mouth full of flies!
On December 21, two days after the game with the Thunder, the Lakers faced the Kings.
Unlike the last game where the core core of the Kings was absent, in this game, the Kings boss, DeMarcus Cousins, nicknamed "Cousin", finally returned. And the first game he chose to come back was to face the Lakers.
No. 29 of the Lakers, Tang Qian.
We must admire the courage of our "cousin" and his stupid spirit, which is still very strong sometimes.
He is not afraid of Tang Qian at all, and he also promised to defeat the former in this game to let the former know how powerful the league's number one center is.
What? The No. 1 center? When did you become the league's No. 1 center? ESPN didn't rank you first, right?
Tang Qian only answered one phrase, and that was: Please, can you stop talking nonsense?
Cousins also has a standard "bomb personality". He is easily distracted, so he immediately counterattacked: Do you really think you are the number one center in the league? Keep your tone! "The mysterious Mr. Eastern Power"!
Tang Qian knew what kind of personality Cousins had, and he did not reject it, but this did not mean that he had to endure his anger, so soon he also posted on his personal Twitter and posted: If I am not, are you? Close it
Are you angry? Cousin! You should lose weight!
As soon as the word cousin came out, many Americans didn't understand the situation, but some Chinese people immediately came out to clarify the confusion. They directly pointed out the translation of s, which means cousin, so there is nothing wrong with calling him cousin.
The American people also thought this nickname was very novel and "cute", so they spontaneously promoted it. All of a sudden, Cousins' personal Twitter was filled with messages from "cousins", which made Cousins angry.
He almost ran away and said:
Damn, don’t call me that! I don’t like it! I’m very unhappy!!!
But watching the excitement is not too big a deal. This is an unspoken rule universally accepted around the world. Therefore, Cousins's speech did not have the effect of curbing it, but instead made the matter intensify. When the rookies of the Kings began to deliberately call him this
At that time, his nerves completely exploded. It is said that he first punched the rookie and then shouted loudly in the training field that he was going to kill Lakers No. 29 and other words.
This was a verbal exchange before the game, and it was also a psychological game in advance. Tang Qian did this to make Cousins deliberately lose his cool, and then make a mess during the game.
Of course, if the latter wants to be aggressive with him, he doesn't care and welcomes it.
Because as a center, he will accept any challenge and will never show weakness to his opponents.
On December 21st, US time, at 7:30 pm, we will wait for the Lakers to challenge at the Kings’ Sleep Train Arena.
The Lakers had just started to warm up when they saw No. 15 of the Kings walking over and shouted to Tang Qian: "Hey~"
But the Lakers didn't look back on the 29th, and were still minding their own warm-up exercises.
This made Cousins a little embarrassed. He raised his voice and said again: "Hey~ I'm talking to you~ Didn't you hear me?"
Tang Qian still didn't look back and was doing his own thing. The rest of the Lakers actually noticed Cousins' shouting, but no one came to intervene. Now Tang Qian is different from last season.
The team is officially the boss, and no one will meddle in the boss's affairs until the boss says something.
As for help...does this guy need it?
Except for Robert Covington, all of these people have seen the scene when Tang Qian threw Boozer out of the training camp. The feeling was really sour. So help? Or one-on-one
?It’s better to say goodbye then, right? Not to mention that this guy has had so many “bad incidents” happen to him before.
"Asshole! Don't you have ears?" Cousins' face was completely lost and he roared angrily.
At this time, Tang Qian finally slowly turned his head and said, "Are you talking to me?"
"Nonsense! Who else could it be if it wasn't you?" Cousins said angrily.
"I don't remember that I was called 'Hey', so I don't think you are calling me." After Tang Qian finished speaking, he turned his head again and said, "Next time, remember to call me by my name." Seeing the Lakers 29
After saying this, he turned away, which made Cousins even angrier: "Hey~ I haven't finished speaking yet! Don't leave!!!"
But Tang Qian ignored him again. This series of ignoring made Cousins' already hot brain heat up even more. He actually walked over and wanted to grab Tang Qian's shoulders, but was blocked by the Lakers' "Yang Shaoxia"
He stood in front of him in advance and said: "Hey, cousin, you have to understand that although tonight is the home court of your Kings, this place is the territory of our Lakers. You are here to show off your power.
Isn't there anyone who bullies our Los Angeles Lakers?" Ever since Tang Qian helped Nick Yang out last year, our "Yang Shaoxia" has firmly "supported the Tang faction". Especially now that he has signed a dream contract with the Lakers.
He is even more grateful to No. 29 for his stable and long-term contract.
So when he saw Cousins coming over, Nick Young was the first to react.
"What did you say? You dare to call me cousin? Do you deserve a beating? You bastard!!!" Cousins roared at Nick Young. At this time, Thackeray also moved, and he was not slow to react.
, walked over, stood in front of Cousins and said: "Don't try to be aggressive here, this is the Lakers' territory now."
This angered Cousins and yelled at Tang Qian behind him: "Dongfang Tang! Do you just hide behind your teammates and cry? Are you still a man??? You coward!!"
!" Hearing this, Tang Qian stopped dribbling. He grabbed the basketball with one hand and walked over and said, "Cousin, you have to figure it out."
The Lakers stood behind Nick Young and Sacre on the 29th and said calmly, but with a clear and bright voice: "Ask them, are they blocking you now, or are they blocking me? Are they afraid that I will get injured and be unlucky?
, or are you afraid that you will be injured and unlucky? Just ask."
"What did you say? Why are you blocking me and blocking you? Are you afraid of my misfortune and your misfortune? I don't understand what you are talking about!" Cousins' voice remains the same, and it seems that he is indeed better than the "Roaring God" back then.
Sid Wallace is even more impatient and more like a "human powder keg". Also, just two weeks after he entered the NBA, he was fined for having a conflict with the coaching staff during training. From Smart to
George Karl was scolded by him angrily, and various technical fouls and ejections were commonplace. Therefore, although his skills were good and his body was broad, he suffered a lot because of his temper.
The most important thing is that he doesn't know how to repent and still goes his own way.
Tang Qian doesn't hate Cousins, but he won't let him roar so much and let his temper spill out on him.
"So I want you to study more." Before Tang Qian could speak, Nick Yang couldn't help but said: "There's no need to explain to you, I'll tell you directly. Robert and I are blocking here.
It’s not to block you, but to block the heat. Do you understand? Don’t be sentimental anymore, okay? Do you know what the Chinese idiom “self-motivated” means? If you don’t know, it’s still the same sentence. You should read more books.
Ah, big cousin~"
Nick Young has been using various idioms recently, and he enjoys it himself. Now that he has the opportunity to show off and mock his opponents, why not? Nick Young is a standard American black man. He doesn't pay attention to low-key and low-key.
Implicit.
"You, what did you say???" Before Cousins finished, Nick Young added: "I said we are protecting you, not protecting Feng, understand? This time I said
Do you understand? If you understand, then go back quickly and don’t get in the way here and delay our warm-up and practice."
Cousins didn't expect that he would be "humiliated" by a role player before he faced off against the real owner. He was about to "spit fire" when Tyrone Corbin, the current head coach of the Kings, called the players on the court to pull him up.
came back. However, during this process, Cousins was still making a fuss, and all kinds of curse words starting with F appeared. But Lakers No. 29 smiled and shot a spot-up shot:
"He is so excited. It seems that my blocking data tonight will not be bad. Hey, hey, I haven't blocked in double figures for a long time. Let's do it tonight. Let's do it again."
e.on~ Come on, come on~ My eldest cousin~ Come here quickly~ I’m getting impatient with waiting~
Seeing Tang Qian's expression, Nick Yang said to Thackeray: "Did you see this guy looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and smiling?"
Thackeray nodded.
"Well~Robot~Let's pray for our eldest cousin~Come and join me~Amen~May God bless you~"
