This is the inevitable thing to focus on the team, it is easy to be looked at with a magnifying glass, one game is good, it will blow to the sky, and if it is bad, it will go to the ground. Especially the Lakers, who are still under the huge spotlight of Los Angeles, and the slightest small fluctuation is easy to be amplified into "stormy waves" by people with intentions.

After a two-day break, the Lakers hosted the Portland Trail Blazers on December 28.

Although this season the Trail Blazers have had the pinnacle of LaMarcus. Aldridge and the rookie version of Damian. Lillard, but the tacit understanding and chemistry between the two have not yet been cultivated, so they were taught a hard lesson by the Lakers. In the end, 104-87, the Lakers took the game away with a 17-point lead. Bryant scored a game-high 27 points, Howard recovered with 21 points and 14 rebounds, and with Nash's 10+ assists, the Lakers managed to take out the Trail Blazers, who were still rebuilding.

Tang Qian got 10 rebounds, 3 blocks and 1 assist in this game.

This game, which was also the Lakers' last game of 2012, ended with a victory, which seemed like a good sign.

The fans thought the same thing, however......

The Lakers are caught in a strange circle.

What kind of circle? The win rate is hovering in a strange circle.

The Lakers' 31st game of the season was played on New Year's Day, playing at home, and the recent schedule has been very easy, so it stands to reason that winning the opponent is a matter of course. After all, the 76ers, since Allen. Since Iverson left, he has been in a situation of not living or dying, and this season is no exception, with only 12 wins so far, which is worse than the Lakers. And this season Andre. Iguodala left the team and moved to Denver, which made the Philadelphia 76ers, who were already star-starved, even worse. Most of the starters are ordinary goods, such as the old dunk king Jason. Richardson, who averaged a career-low scoring per game this season, was only around 10.6 points, which was more than double the 23+ at his peak. Another example is Lavoy. Allen, in Tang Qian's impression, this person has never scored more than 6 points in his career, although the defense is okay, but it is far from being superior, so he will be an iron-clad substitute player in the future. But this season, he was in Philadelphia and played in the starting lineup.

This is evident from this.

The only one with a Zhu. Holiday mixes a little better, but it's basically at the level of the team's sixth and main players.

And he is already the strongest player in this Philadelphia team.

With such a team, do the Lakers take it for granted to win? However, the result surprised you, and in the first game of the new year, the Lakers lost by 4 points. In this game, the loss was very inexplicable, although Kobe Bryant scored 36 points efficiently, but the team leaked all kinds of people on the outside, was overcome, and was forcibly eaten, so that the Lakers were in a state of stalemate from beginning to end. Originally, Zhu was just an ordinary player. Holiday and Evan. Turner, one broke out, one chipped in 28 points and 10 assists, and the other chipped in 22 points and 15 rebounds. That's right, you read that right, it's 15 rebounds, and this Evan . Turner is just a 201cm tall defender. In this case, the Lakers' outside defense is almost useless.

It's as if everyone can break through, shoot, and kill.

Of course, there is also the unavoidable problem that the Lakers' interior twin towers, Gasol and Howard, are all lost. And it's not the kind of ordinary lost, it's the kind that is so lost that you can't find the north. The former shot 2 of 12 and shot 16.7%, and the latter was not much stronger, shooting 1 of 7 with a shooting rate of 14.3% and 3 of 10 free throws.

In the end, the 3-point shooting percentage was like a dog. , it's also a big problem that can't be avoided, with only 3 of 22 shots and a shooting rate of 13.6%, and at a time when the league's style of play is increasingly reliant on 3-point shots, the Lakers seem to be a full decade behind. D'Antoni can't figure it out.

Without a three-point shot, his "small-ball tactics" could not advance at all, and he became a lame monk with the method of attacking against attacking.

It's not that no one in the Lakers shoots three-pointers, Kobe, Nash, and Ci Shiping can all shoot, but except for Nash, the other two are not real three-point shooters. Especially Ci Shiping, shooting basically depends on the sky, and the shooting rate of fixed-point shooting is worse than that of sports shooting, in this case, he is completely an unqualified three-point shooter. On the bench, there was only one Meeks who was a 3-point shooter. Steve. Blake was not bad, but unfortunately this season, he was always injured and couldn't have an attendance guarantee.

In this way, inexplicably, the Lakers lost, and even if Tang's potential bench time performance was acceptable, it was difficult to save the overall situation.

After all, without the assistance of the ability card, his personal ability is not enough to determine the trend of a whole game.

He can do Mike well now. D'Antoni's assignment was considered a success.

On this day, the NBA announced the results of the second round of All-Star voting, and Kobe Bryant in the West continued to lead the way with 977444 votes. Durant 924898 votes, Tang Qian 799,890 votes, Dwight. Howard 616150 votes, Chris. Paul 542564 vote, Blake. Griffin 489795 vote. There is no doubt about the Eastern Conference frontrunners, LeBron. James had 970314 votes, and in the first round of voting, he was originally the league's total vote king, but in the second round, he was overtaken by Kobe. It can be seen that Kobe's popularity is really terrifying, even if the Lakers' record this season is extremely poor, it does not prevent the "Old Wings" from winning the championship in one fell swoop and surpassing the peak of Zhan Huang. And then there's Carmelo. Anthony 891759 votes, Wade 645875 votes, Rondo 574272 votes, Garnett 328716 votes.

Judging from this trend, Tang Qian is likely to become an All-Star starter in the West.

It's also extremely rare for a bench player to become a starting All-Star.

And Dwight. Howard, I really want to thank NBA Vice President Stu. Jackson, if he hadn't pushed for the All-Star voting position reform this season, then the former would have a good chance of becoming Tang Qian's replacement. In this way, it can be compared to Shaq. O'Neill was much more embarrassed. After all, O'Neill and Yao Ming are not members of the same team, but he and Tang Qian are teammates.

And he is the starting center on the Lakers, and the other party is just a bench player.

If this were reversed in the All-Stars, Howard's face would definitely be even more ugly than a monkey's ass.

On January 4, 2013, the Lakers challenged the Clippers away, saying that it was an away game, but it was actually a civil war in the same city in the Staples Center. In the past, the Lakers vs Clippers were both rookies, and it was easy. But since Paul joined and Griffin has risen, their strength has skyrocketed, and they are ranked as high as fourth in the West this season, which is the best example. So the Clippers fans couldn't wait to shout "we.are!" inside the Staples Center. "Come on.

Kobe Bryant wanted to win this game very much, shooting 15 of 25 from the field and scoring 38 points with a 60% shooting rate, but the problem was still the one on the court, and the Lakers couldn't shoot three-pointers as a whole. Kobe Bryant shot 1 of 6 from 3-pointers in this game, which means that if he deducts three-pointers, his shooting percentage will be terrifyingly high. Ci Shiping shot 0 of 6, Meeks shot 2 of 9, if Nash was still steady, shooting 3 of 4 three-pointers, then this game, the Lakers would have lost a lot.

He shot 6-of-25 from three-point range and almost missed nearly 20 three-pointers, and with this long-range shooting rate, it was only natural that the Clippers were shot by a 42.9% three-point shooting rate. As for the three-point shot, Tang Qian could only stare dryly, and couldn't help anything.

In the end, 102-107, the Lakers lost the local derby by 5 points.

After the game, the Lakers ushered in a 2-game losing streak, and Kobe Bryant had a black face at the post-game press conference, and he didn't show a single smile.

At this time, the famous "Kehei" expert Henry. Abbott stepped up and posted directly on his Twitter:

Bryant, 3-pointers, 16.7 percent.

In just a few words, it expresses all the irony, because Bryant shot 1 of 6 three-pointers in this game and the previous game, which is exactly 16.7 shooting percentage. So Henry. Abbott's meaning is self-evident.

As for Tang Qian, he was originally a small role player, so the trend of some time ago will always pass, and now there are few ESPN experts who have come out to hack him. Because of his concentration and popularity, it is not worth this group of ESPN experts to write a black article.

On January 6, 2013, U.S. time, the Lakers played the Denver Nuggets at home. Still losing.

It's also strange to say that this season's Nuggets play the Lakers is like knocking. Finish. The medicine is average, all of them are alive and well, and all of them play extraordinarily. And what about the Lakers? In addition to the old problems on the defensive end, it was still too poor to shoot from the outside, and only hit 6 of the 30 3-pointers in the game. Kobe Bryant recovered a little from his three-point shot, shooting 3 of 8 3-pointers in the game, but except for him and Nash, the rest of the outside line all felt cold, and the sound of hitting iron made people tremble.

Howard cut down 20+ rebounds in this game, but like the last time he played against the Nuggets, he was in foul trouble again, and this time, just at the beginning of the fourth quarter, he was honorably discharged because of 6 fouls. Gasol and Tang Qian, also not much better, one 5 fouls, one 4 fouls, the Nuggets in George. Under Carl's targeted arrangement, the Lakers' internal and external defenses were all unbalanced.

Tang Qian covered 7 big hats in this game, however...... Correct. Combine. Eggs only.

Three consecutive defeats immediately hung over the Lakers' heads.

This time, with a 15-18 record, he once again fell back to 12th place in the West.

All the fans and media in Los Angeles couldn't sit still and began to riot, bombarding the home team on the Internet and TV. As the face of the Lakers' season, the "Four Heavenly Kings" are the worst hit.

On January 8, U.S. time, the Lakers moved to the Toyota Center, and they played extremely miserably against the Rockets who had changed their new core.

I don't know if it's the mentality of the whole team, there has been a subtle change, everyone in this game is in a hurry to achieve quick success, impetuous, and the last look at the statistics, the whole game made 28 mistakes! With such a high turnover rate, it is reasonable that the Lakers were beaten by their opponents. 125 points is the score scored by the Rockets in this game under the defense of the Lakers, this number can only explain one problem, that is, the Lakers' defense tonight is like paper paste.

Tang Qian has done his best, but unfortunately his ability is limited, and he can't save the Los Angeles Lakers tonight.

For the first time, he officially saw the transformed James. Harden, with his strong ability to score points, is already firmly in the second percentile in the league. Even Kobe Bryant, when it comes to it, is no longer as handy as last season.

Four-game losing streak.

And the Lakers' misery is far from over.

After this game, the Rockets forward Chandler . Parsons said one thing publicly: he, Kobe Bryant. Bryant, on what basis guarantees a playoff spot for the Lakers? Obviously, he was satirizing Kobe Bryant's remark a little over a month ago that the Lakers must make the playoffs.

On January 9, the Lakers visited the Holy City back-to-back, 105-108, Kobe Bryant finally missed the equalizing three-pointer, and the Lakers lost to the Holy City and lost to the Spurs, winning the fifth consecutive loss of the season. In this game, Tang Qian completed the challenge task of "Today in History" and obtained a silver ability card fragment. In this game, Tang Qian is an X-factor. Because he contributed a staggering 22 points off the bench, and the final stats were 22 points, 13 rebounds, three assists and three blocks.

13 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks, it doesn't matter, it's still within the normal range, but 22 points? This is definitely a rather unusual statistic. At least for Tang Qian this season, that's the case.

9 of 12 shots, shooting 75% from the field, and 3 free throws, it can be said that if Tang Qian's sudden stand up, the Lakers would not have survived the final decisive moment. And these data, it's all Steve. Nash helped him get it, because "Son of the Wind" played almost the whole game.

And that's exactly what happened Steve. Nash discovered something he hadn't looked at too closely before.

No. 29 for the Lakers?

Nash found Mike after this game. D'Anthony Road:

"Mike, I've made a new discovery, do you want to hear it?"
