On January 9, 2015, U.S. time, the Lakers played against the Orlando Magic at home at Staples Center.
The Magic have been in the process of rebuilding since Howard left, but the results have not been very good. In recent years, they have basically been at the bottom of the league. In the 12-13 season, they were at the bottom of the league, and last year they were third from the bottom in the league. This year
What? It definitely won’t look good, because now they are still the bottom three in the Eastern Conference, only slightly better than the Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers.
So far this season, the difference between the average points scored per game and the average points conceded per game is about 6 to 7 points. What is the concept? On average, the Orlando Magic lose at least 6 to 7 points in every game. If you calculate the average,
, this is a very exaggerated number, basically every 2 to 3 games will lead to a major defeat. Therefore, they can only blame themselves for their unlucky situation.
Tang Qian also has to "prove himself" in this game.
Hitting the muzzle of a gun, that's what it means.
Originally, Tang Qian was a little embarrassed to use a team as weak as the Orlando Magic to "brush data", but now that it was decided, there was no other way but to start the fight.
Alas, Orlando fans, I can only blame you for not catching up with the good times.
I'm sorry, let me make a sign of the cross to your God Jesus in advance.
And before this game, the Cavaliers came out with the results first. James had another near-triple-double. Facing the Timberwolves, he scored 35 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal.
The team won its 23rd consecutive victory of the season. It seems that James is really stronger than he thought.
Very good, this is what makes it interesting. I will write your challenge letter next.
Tang Qian walked up to Jeremy Lin who was warming up and said something. Nick Yang was a little curious. After Tang Qian left, he came over and asked, "What did Tang just say to you? Jeremy?" Jeremy Lin looked at him.
Nick Young said with a wry smile: "Fang just said... let me give as many points as possible in this game, he wants to suppress James' data."
I don’t know why, but most of the Lakers now follow Tang Qian and call James instead of LeBron who is more friendly and polite on the surface. This is also the case with Jeremy Lin. This influence is probably the so-called subtle influence.
"Haha~" Nick Young laughed when he heard this: "That's good, you finally think so? It's time to get some good data, lest the outside world underestimate him and our Los Angeles Lakers."
"Well, yes." Jeremy Lin also nodded. He really didn't expect that after he came to the Lakers, his popularity soared. In addition, the data also increased under D'Antoni's system, so many people said that he was very likely to
Enter this season's All-Star lineup.
Whether it can be entered is another matter, but as far as the current data is concerned, Jeremy Lin is really satisfied and could not be more satisfied.
At present, his personal data has improved to an average of close to 18+2+8. In the past, with the Rockets, would he have dared to think about this? Moreover, now, with more than half of the schedule, he still has room to continue to improve.
.
The feeling of having the team's absolute possession of the ball really makes the player playing the first position feel extremely happy.
It feels completely different to pair up with the Rockets' perimeter ball-handling stars.
Well, it seems that coming to Los Angeles was not a wrong decision.
Has God started to take care of me, a devout Christian, again?
I have been a little lazy during this time, and it seems that I need to pray and worship God more.
Jeremy Lin muttered to himself.
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"This is Tianchao Sports Channel. I am Yang Yang and I am Yu Jia. Welcome everyone to watch today's game between the Lakers and the Magic."
However, in the United States, there is no live broadcast across the United States, because ESPN does not think there is much to watch in this game.
The Magic are a bad team that is almost at the bottom of the league. No matter how much they dislike the Lakers, they don't think they will lose. Therefore, there is no need to broadcast a one-sided game, and the ratings will not be very satisfactory. But for this game,
But it was a classic opening game for Tang Qian this season. Many people in later generations will quote this game when studying Tang Qian's trajectory this season.
The Lakers still have the starting lineup of Tang Qian + Bosh + Ariza + Butler + Jeremy Lin, while the Magic team has Victor Oladipo + Tobias Harris + Nikola.
Vucevic + Elfrid Payton + Kyle O'Quinn. Although these people have a certain degree of good scoring ability, there is a problem. Their defense is not very good, and even some
It's just bad. For example, their center Nikola Vucevic is a typical example. He is 7 feet tall and weighs 260 pounds. However, he is not a traditional inside man. He shoots more and his defense is ordinary top defense and help defense.
His awareness is very poor. Besides him, there is Tobias Harris. Although his style of play is relatively tough, his playing style is still outside. Moreover, his defense is just above and below the standard. If you want to defend Tang Qian or
Bosh, that's basically just a dream.
All of this seems to have created good conditions for Tang Qian to "brush data" tonight.
When scrambling for the ball, Nikola Vucevic had no intention of "making a contribution", because now everyone knows the ability of Lakers No. 29 to compete for the ball. Let alone him, even Howard is no match for him. So.
, basically Nikola Vucevic just gave up resistance in this area with a symbolic jump.
Tang Qian was still a little "dissatisfied" with this and said: "Hey~ Big brother, are you serious about fighting for the ball?"
Unexpectedly, Nikola Vucevic replied simply: "I didn't intend to seriously compete with you for the ball."
"What? What did you say?" Tang Qian was a little confused by this answer: "Why?"
"There is no reason, because you are too strong in this area. Since 99% can't win, why should I bother with this?" Nikola Vucevic said in a bachelor's manner: "I might as well get back to defense earlier.
Go and defend, so as not to be attacked by your fast break as soon as the game starts."
"This..." Tang Qian was speechless. He didn't expect that a center who averaged 11 rebounds per game and was the center of the team would actually say such words so directly. It was really... a bit irritating.
However, what should be beaten and brushed must be dealt with! You can’t blame me!
At first, Tang Qian was a little embarrassed. After all, he rarely did this kind of thing, and before this game, he and Bosh and others had made a plan in advance to "brush up the data tonight." This made Tang Qian even more worried.
, inexplicably "weak". So in the first quarter, he still played the same as in the previous regular season, basically still focusing on passing and rebounding defense. This made Nick Young anxious when he was sitting on the bench.
He put his left and right hands to his mouth, acting as amplifiers and said: "What are you doing? Plan! Don't forget the plan! Hot, you should take the initiative. You are not shy, are you?"
Nick Young's last sentence was just a joke, but he didn't expect that the No. 29 on the field was really a bit "shy at heart". Of course, it wasn't that kind of timidity, it was just that he simply felt
, it’s a bit “shameful” to do so.
Aha, if many people knew about this, they would probably be furious to death.
Nowadays, who doesn’t brush up the data? The top player in the league is taking the lead in brushing up. If you don’t brush up, you are a fool.
Can face be used as data? Can face be used as food? Can face be exchanged for big contracts? No!
Maybe it was because I was too hesitant and played a little forward and backward, so in the first quarter, the Lakers' overall ball movement was very unsmooth. The ball was always passed in, then passed out, and then passed in again. After several rounds of the same situation,
The Magic team figured out a little bit of tricks, so the number of turnovers began to increase sharply. In 8 minutes, there were 8 turnovers, and there was no one else.
This made D'Antoni shout on the sidelines: What are you doing? Cheer up! With so many mistakes, is there a mistake bonus pool? If not, don't make any more mistakes! Pay attention!
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"Pang Yi, the Lakers made a lot of mistakes today. They didn't play very well." Yu Jia looked at the statistics and said.
"It's because they didn't play very well." Yang Yi also said: "Although the Lakers are a fast-paced team this season and generally make slightly more mistakes than other teams, 8 turnovers in 8 minutes is still a bit too much.
It’s too much. I hope I can control it a little bit.”
But the turnovers were not controlled. Instead, there were more mistakes. In the entire first quarter, the Lakers made as many as 12 turnovers.
This is very embarrassing. Because of this relationship, the Magic are now 6 points ahead of the Lakers.
20-26 in a single quarter, the Lakers also only scored 20 points in a single quarter because of too many turnovers.
This is already considered a low score in a single quarter this season. You must know that the Lakers have averaged the most points in the league so far this season, close to 115 points per game! This score is also the team that has scored the most in the past 20 years.
Team! Even more than the 110+ scored by the Suns at their peak! No team in the past 20 years has been able to surpass their score in the regular season.
Of course, it is still a little short of the strongest scoring average record in history. It averaged 126.5 points per game. This is the highest scoring average record for an NBA team. The team that set it was the Denver Nuggets in the 1981-1982 season. But just
Looking at the past 20 years, the current Lakers team has averaged the best points per game in the regular season. At least before Cosmos Yong came out, this average points per game is probably difficult to break. So D'Antoni has obviously lost his temper this season.
His complexion is much better than last season, that's why.
Because this Lakers team has been branded by him as a "seven seconds or less" team.
During the break, Nick Young saw Tang Qian and asked directly: "Fang, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you take more shots in the first quarter? That's not what we agreed before." This was also what Bosh said.
Jeremy Lin and others had doubts in their minds, but because of their reputation, they did not ask as directly as Nick Yang.
"Me." Tang Qian said with a slightly embarrassed smile: "I guess I'm not used to it yet. I always feel that doing this is a bit bad and I don't have the professional spirit of a professional player."
Huh? After a long time, you old man got the ball and passed it out, over and over again, hesitating, just thinking about these things in your mind. This is really... is there a mistake!!!
"Fang, you are not mistaken, right? When you are on the court, you are your opponent and enemy. Don't you often say this yourself?" After Nick Young said this, Bosh also opened his mouth and said to Tang Qian: "Fang, that's not what I'm thinking about now.
At that time, do you hope that our team’s winning streak will be ended, and it will end at the hands of a bad team like the Magic?”
"of course not……"
"Then take the initiative to get the ball and score points! Now the team is already 6 points behind. If you don't score, you will really be in trouble." Bosh is still very good at persuading. He knows that Tang Qian is a bit opposed to simply brushing.
The behavior of data, so he can only say this, save the country through curves.
"Yeah, hot, don't think too much about useless things. You're behind now. Let's wait until we catch up and win." Jeremy Lin also persuaded him at this time. After all, it was his first 20+ winning streak in his life.
, he didn’t want to fall to such a “bullshit opponent”. It’s so unworthy! It’s so unfair! So, win!
"Oh, that's true. It's all my fault. It's not the fault of any of you that the team is lagging behind in this quarter. It's mine." When Tang Qian heard this, he knew that he cared too much about insignificant things, which led to
The overall operation of the team was very stagnant and unsmooth. He quickly stood up and admitted his mistakes and problems. This is also very appreciated by Mike D'Antoni. Because such a person will not achieve even a little bit.
You become complacent when you achieve a few results, but in the end accomplish nothing.
This is a special "test" for players who are superstars or above. They must be able to accept praise, and at the same time, they must be able to keep their heads clear and not become arrogant and arrogant.
Tang Qian took the initiative to admit that it was his problem, which was actually a manifestation of leadership and courage.
Courage is by no means only reflected in success. It also requires courage to face problems that you have not done well.
Seeing Tang Qian's statement also made Jeremy Lin and others feel a little relieved. Now they just hope that he is not just talking verbally.
We still have to look at the specific actions after returning to the field later.
Hot, at this time, face is actually worthless, you have to brush it hard.
Otherwise, you would be too sorry for us to collectively play ball for you.
Under these changes, the second quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Orlando Magic continued.
