Chapter 461: The Fifth Battle
Because the Eagles were caught off guard and lost a big general, both morale and strength were seriously affected. In this situation www.biquge.info the Lakers easily cleaned up their opponents in the second half, 99-81, leading by 18 points to win four straight games after the All-Star break. Tang Qian got 7 points, 24 rebounds, 13 blocks and 2 assists in this game. Smith's sudden incident, so in order to appease Atlanta's "injured fans", the best player of the game was given to Kobe Bryant, who only scored 29 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal.
But for this kind of formal honor, Tang Qian doesn't care at all, because the Lakers won, that is the last word.
Otherwise, if you lose, even if you give yourself another weekly best, it will be meaningless.
At the post-game press conference, Kobe Bryant once again expressed his determination to "vow", and at the same time mocked ESPN, saying that they are probably experts for a long time and forget that basketball is not a data game. Of course, for Tang Qian, he also affirmed it again, but the audience did not hear Dwight at all. Howard's name, as if for this person, the Lakers have kept their mouths shut and reached some kind of invisible agreement.
Howard got 21 points, 13 rebounds and 3 blocks in this game, which seems to be a good statistic, at least excellent, but people who have actually watched this game will not feel this way. Because at the critical moment, the Lakers' interior line is not his "Warcraft" guarding, but someone else, plus most of his data comes from garbage time, so the data is acceptable, and it still does not bring him any attention and applause.
This makes the "Warcraft" very unhappy and unhappy!
And the Lakers' No. 29 words after the game made his face more and more gloomy.
"Hey~This is the fourth game~"
Scene 4! Damn the fourth! Damn Orientals! Why is it that all of a sudden the Lakers feel like a different team??? Why didn't they work so hard and take it so seriously when I played before??? Damn it!!! It must have been calculated a long time ago!!!!!!!!!! It must have been calculated a long time ago to deal with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seeing the Lakers' decline improve, Dwight. Howard not only did not have any joy, but was depressed and depressed in his heart, as if he wanted the Lakers to lose all 4 games, and it was better to lose all 5 games before he was happy. It can be seen that the current "Warcraft" has completely "broken" with the Lakers, and it looks like a god. And the "betting" in the locker room that day also made him nervous and anxious.
"Warcraft" looked at the next opponent of the Lakers in a frustrated mood, and this look made him feel a lot better. The next opponent is finally not a weak chicken! The No. 1 team in the West, see how you guys get it! Oklahomanians, don't let me down!!
Under the intense "delusion of victimization", Dwight . Howard finally found his spiritual sustenance, and he didn't think the Lakers could beat the Oklahoma City Thunder, who had been on their laurels this season. Well, in case there is a real accident, then I can also properly "release the water", right? Anyway, if you want to win five in a row, you're dreaming!!

……
On March 4th, the Lakers held an intra-team warm-up game, Tang Qian and Howard fought in the dark, but the team members tacitly chose to ignore it and let the two of them go toe-to-toe. Howard really can't say it, in fact, his comprehensive ability is still stronger than Tang Qian, but who makes people not play singles and eat low? In this way, Howard will not be able to pick out Tang Qian's weakness and let everyone see it. On the defensive end, Tang Qian has not lost this season's "Warcraft", and even in terms of rebounds and blocks, he has to beat his opponents, and on the offensive end, he is also self-aware, not a good opportunity, then pass first, anyway, the Lakers don't say anything else, that is, there is no shortage of scoring points and firepower points.
There is not much more Tang Qian, and there is no less Tang Qian.
In contrast, Howard beat Tang Qian hard, and the hit rate was not high, so Tang Qian's offensive problems were not exposed, but Howard himself exposed himself cleanly. Now if anyone in the league still thinks Dwight. Howard is a superstar center with all around offense and defense, so he must have not watched a game all season. Because fans who have watched the Lakers games this season will silently pray in their hearts that the No. 12 will not go to the low post and not to eat with his back.
This also shows Dwight. Howard's image has changed in the minds of fans this season.
It can be described as a plummet.
However, he himself doesn't know how to reflect, he only knows how to complain about heaven and people, blame this and that, and the mentality of correcting does not exist at all. is still continuing to be his dream bubble of "low-level big killer". This brings Mike. D'Antoni further lost patience and confidence in him.
That's right, the core players are generally to coax, hold, and provide, but now the Lakers, is it a general situation for T.M.D? If Howard messes around again, he will probably be "cut in half" by the management next season. Come to think of it, Mike. D'Antoni has a lot less worries in his heart, after all, he is also a human being, and he has to work and support his family.
You're going to make me unemployed, and that's okay?
Am I really a temperless tumbler?
In fact, some carefully observed fans have found the problem, although Tang Qian is a substitute, but his playing time with the starting center is almost the same. Howard's playing time has been less than 30+ in the last 4 games, which is also the reason why "Warcraft" feels a little crisis.
And that's not all.
Howard suddenly thought that if Gasol also returned from injury, would his playing time be even shorter?
No way! If you don't have playing time, you can't farm stats! This is absolutely intolerable!
Whatever he wanted, Gasol finally made a comeback for this game.
For Gasol's return, all the Lakers have a warm attitude, only No. 12 is not salty or light, and it feels as if he is still a little unhappy. Gasol looked at Howard's expression, and he was also unhappy in his heart, and said:
What the hell do you look like? Isn't it because I am not welcome to come back from injury?
Gasol considers himself the most sacrificial of the Lakers' "Four Kings" this season, not to mention all the statistics are career lows, and he also took the initiative to give up the low post and let Howard play in it. But it seems that such a sacrifice did not bring the favor and gratitude of the "Warcraft", which made the Spaniards feel uncomfortable and unhappy.
Why did Howard become a "bum" in the end, and he couldn't even stay in Houston?
In addition to his strength and skills, his character and emotional intelligence are also important factors.
If it weren't for the fact that there was a more brainless "Nunnery Master" at the bottom of the No. 5 position in the alliance, "Warcraft" Howard might have been in the first place. This sounds like a "big boy", but if it doesn't sound good, he has no brains, hasn't grown up, and is still a "little kid" with a relatively naïve mental age.
"Paul, welcome back, we're going to do it tonight. Blast the Oklahomians and let them know how awesome Los Angeles is! Tang Qian walked up to Gasol and said with a smile. That's of course, hot, you're very eye-catching for a while~ Best of the Week~ Tut-tut~ I'm slightly jealous~" Gasol saw that it was Tang Qian, and greeted him with a smile, because he still appreciates and likes this oriental center from the bottom of his heart, after all, he has no reason to hate the "blue collar" who does not overlap with his own functions and can concentrate without complaining.
Gasol is on the inside, in fact, what needs to be matched the most is a "black. Hard. rough", which is also his biggest weakness and deficiency as the fourth or fifth position in Europe. Of course, Howard maybe, but it's impossible for people to come over and do this kind of dirty work, and people are "low-level killers", aren't they?
"Okay, no more nonsense, tonight's game is the litmus test, if we can win, we can break the contempt and ridicule of the outside world, and show that we in Los Angeles have really stood up! Everyone, prepare well, keep up your good work! "Mike. D'Antoni also knows that this game is crucial, because although the first few games were won, the outside world generally believes that the gold content is not high, so the Lakers urgently need a victory against a strong team to prove themselves. The No. 1 seed in the West and the league's No. 1 regular season leader, the Oklahoma City Thunder, is undoubtedly the best choice.
Of course, if you unfortunately lose, it will be a heavy blow to the morale of the Lakers.
"China Iron, I will beat you tonight, and I won't let you succeed again!" During Tang's potential warm-up, a member of the Thunder team came over to "say hello" and said, he was Oklahoma No. 9, Serge. Ibaka. Last season, the former narrowly snatched the title of king of blocks. Ibaka has always been obsessed, and coincidentally, the top two in this season's block list are currently him and Tang Qian. The former surpassed him yesterday and topped the 2012-2013 block per game charts.
Although it seems that both of them are averaging 3.0 blocks per game, Tang Qian's decimal point has completed the surpassing of Ibaka, so he is now ranked ahead of Ibaka. Seeing that it was this Oriental who surpassed himself on the block list, Ibaka was very panicked, so before the start of today's game, he secretly vowed to put on a good performance and let fans across the United States know who is the real king of blocks in the NBA.
But he didn't want to think about it, if it weren't for the limited playing time of Tang Qian in the first half of the schedule, how could the latter only average 3.0 blocks per game now? It's already been a long time ago with him! So for Sergi. Ibaka's words, Tang Qian just smiled, and then replied, "How many can you build?" Your highest single-game record is 11, right? Do you think I'm going to be afraid of you in this regard? ”
Tang Qian's sentence did not say it explicitly, but Serji. Ibaka still heard it, and the Oriental man in front of him was mocking himself, because the former's highest single-game block, as high as 17 times, and the Lakers' predecessor Elmo. Smith shared the honor of 'NBA single-game block king'. Not to mention, Tang Qian has recently played a series of double-double data on the block, which has made Serji. Ibaka couldn't refute it, and was speechless.
Competitive sports are so cruel, there are no ifs, no ifs, you have to do it to be qualified. Force, otherwise you can only endure it, and only when you do it can you be qualified to fight the court.
"I, I'm not going to lose to you! Oriental!!! After thinking for a while, Sergi. Ibaka still doesn't have the confidence to challenge Tang Qian and Elmo. Smith's record of 17 blocks in a single game seems tough, but in fact, Ibaka's heart has weakened, and he is not as confident as he was in the first sentence.
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Tang Qian nodded, and then began to enter the warm-up state again, this indifferent attitude made Thunder No. 9 extremely angry.
At the beginning of the first quarter, Howard actually failed to scramble for the ball. Ibaka was also slightly stimulated by Tang Qian's words. So the unluckiest man in the first section, non-Dwight. Howard was the only one, because he was desperately defended by Ibaka, who shot 0-of-3 in a single quarter. If you count the 2 balls that were broken, Sergi. Even in a single quarter, Ibaka completely blocked the offense of "Warcraft" Howard.
This made Howard lose face for a moment, even if he blocked the opponent on the defensive end, it still seemed to be a big loss.
Because Ibaka's role in the Thunder and Howard's role in the Lakers are very different, he was able to trade with Howard, and the head coach of the Thunder, Scott. Brooks, in his opinion, is even a big profit. This made the Lakers extremely struggling and passive in the first quarter, shooting 36.8% from the field as a team, far worse than the Thunder's 48.1%.
37-28 in the first quarter, leading the Lakers by 9 points and entering the second quarter.
Obviously, after the experience of the finals last season, the Thunder team has become more and more sophisticated and tacit, which makes them play the Lakers, easily and freely, and there is no difficulty on the field.
The Lakers played against the Thunder, and since then they have completely entered the "bitter master mode", and it is difficult to have a winning rate before 2010.
Howard's performance in this game was sluggish at the beginning, which just gave Tang Qian an opportunity, because the worse the former's performance, the better he performed. Comparing the same opponent is the easiest and most intuitive.
"Hot, you're on the second quarter, are you ready?" Mike. D'Antoni looked at the Lakers' No. 29 on the bench.
"Of course, sir, I've been ready." Tang Qian took off his training long sleeves, then stood up and said.
