Chapter 1204 I've been waiting for a long time, and I'm finally waiting for you (Tomorrow will break out~)
In the next game, the Lakers' opponent is the Timberwolves.
The Timberwolves have had a good start to the season, and they are full of spirit, known as the strongest "inside and outside combination" in the future, and have a bright future. Indeed, judging from the scene, Wiggins + Downs are indeed very high potential configurations. And although the two of them are not very old in the NBA, they can enter the state very quickly, and they are currently considered instant combat power. At present, Wiggins is averaging 20+4+2+1 data per game, and Downs also has 19+11+2+2 data, which looks quite perfect. The future is bright.
In addition, there is Shabazz on the bench who can contribute 11~12 points of firepower per game. Mohammed, really the lineup on paper is okay.
But sometimes, the potential at the beginning may be almost realized. There are also such people, such as Terrick of the Kings back then. Evans, in his rookie season, averaged about 20+5+6+2 per game, and people thought that his future was the selection of the league's strong guards, but the result? There is also Jennings, Michael, who faced the Heat in the first game and cut a quasi-quadruple-double. Carter. Williams, wait, sometimes, just because a rookie has played well for a few years doesn't mean it's a smooth road ahead.
If you look at the last game, who else was sitting on the bench for the Toronto Raptors? The famous champion Lang Anthony. Bennett. Since he was beaten by Tang Qian, the outside world has ridiculed him for not resisting pressure enough, and he has completely given up on himself. The "point of no return" of the original time and space has been retaken. Of course, this doesn't mean that Wiggins and Towns won't become star players, but star players are also divided into grades, ordinary all-stars, excellent all-stars, peak all-stars, superstars, supergiants. Although there is no explicit rule, everyone knows it.
Perhaps, the all-star is the pinnacle limit of these two people, no one can say.
In the last game with the Timberwolves, Tang Qian did not play because of the ban, so he made the opponent "arrogant". He remembers what Downs said at the beginning of the season:
I'm not afraid of you! I don't think others think you're awesome, I don't accept it, I think I'm not worse than you, and I will be stronger in the future!
Of course, it's literally more euphemistic than this, but that's probably what it means between the lines. Tang Qian couldn't play at that time, and there was no way, so he could only remember, and then wait for the next chance to meet. And this "next time", which is tonight, December 9th, is the Targeting Center in Minnesota. Now that the opportunity has come, Tang Qian doesn't say that there are people who "bring up the old things again", Tang Qian thought about it and said without hesitation:
This year's rookies are full of self-confidence, and there are a lot of interior players with high picks, so I can't wait to play them and ...... Teach to be a man.
What the reporters want is such a "smell of gunpowder" and immediately asked: Excuse me, last time you directly blocked Okafor online at halftime, what data are you going to let Downs get tonight? Do you think Downs will be better than Okafor?
Tang Qian replied:
I can't say the specifics, but I think he's better than Okafor, well, a loss.
Only one better than Okafor? This is actually burying the Downs. Turning the corner and saying you're like that.
Just kidding, what is Tang Qian's identity now? The league's No. 1 center, is he in a bad mood and was provoked by a pure rookie, and he still has to hide and take care of the other party? That's what James does, old-school players, never do.
Kobe Bryant went directly to the locker room to provoke, Jordan publicly said that he would blow up Drexler, and the Dream Team even made Thomas, the "smiling assassin" who had a grudge against him, unable to join the team, even Moses. People like Ma Long, who don't like to deal with the media very much, will say "FO.FO.FO". What kind of good-natured do you think they are? Be a man with a mask? It seems to be exquisite, with brothers all over the place, but compared with those superstars of the older generation, there is undoubtedly less domineering and less happiness and hatred that men should have.
Tang Qian likes the former rather than the latter, what he likes is Li Taibai's happy life of "killing one person in ten steps, and not leaving a line for a thousand miles". So he's all in this position, and he's still hiding it, can he do it? I can't do it. So what to do, how to do it, then do it.
Let's talk about teaching newcomers, this is also a tradition in the NBA, and if he does a good job, it will only make the older generation of players feel appreciated.
Of course, Downs also responded, he has been playing too smoothly lately, and he feels a little underestimated as a hero in the world.
The game started at 8 o'clock, the venue was full, and the game was also scheduled to be broadcast live in the United States, so there were many more people tuning in than usual. Why is Maddie's Maddie moment so classic? It's because it was a national live broadcast event, and the speed and scope of this spread were much stronger than ordinary games.
1~2 hours ago, the two sides began to enter the warm-up, Tang Qian saw the well-proportioned newcomer on the opposite side, and smiled, Tang Si was not afraid, and looked back. The two of them didn't have a wordless conversation, but they had already had an exchange. It was Downs' teammate Wiggins who pulled the latter to interrupt the scene, and Downs was still a little unhappy: "Andrew, why are you pulling me?" Wiggins said, "What are you doing?" Are you trying to provoke him? I advise you not to do that. ”
"Andrew, why are you so afraid of him? He broke your guts last season? ”
"You don't know, this guy is really different from the center inside line that he played before, don't be careless."
"So what?" Downs seemed to be full of confidence in himself: "Even if I am not as good as him now, it will not be too far behind, and I am younger than him, and the future is mine!" This guy, Wiggins is also speechless, and the team is similar to James's kind of "heaven descends to earth" style, which makes him feel very unhappy. Although he still respects himself, as his performance gets better and better, this feeling of respect is slowly weakening. Now more and more bosses are emerging.
If the two of them are like this, then sooner or later they will fall apart, and the Minnesotan dream will come to an end.
Don't be deceived by Downs's good baby expression, think he's a personable person, but in fact, he has a lot of speechless events in the original time and space. Including after losing to the 76ers led by Embiid, Embiid sent a tweet to celebrate the team's victory, and pay attention, there is no naming in this, and the result? Because there was an embarrassed expression of Downs looking back in the background, Downs was furious! Reply directly under Twitter: The text you are accompanied by is as rubbish as your picture!
Can this "Emperor" Embiid endure it? He's also a guy who likes to talk to people, and immediately tweeted back: That's better quality than your garbage defense!
In fact? The media quickly found the defensive efficiency of the two men at the time, Embiid was seventh in the league and was strong, and what about Towns? There is no figure of him in the top fifty of the league! He is in 68th place! Coupled with the fact that Embiid was still the winner of the team yesterday, this has directly become a typical example of losing and losing. In addition to this, there is also Downs mocking Harden for not sticking to the three, and as a result, he was slapped in the face by the shaking finger after the angry hat of the "Card Emperor" and so on. If nothing else, it means that in terms of personality, he is definitely not such a "well-behaved" person on the surface.
Nick. Yang saw that Tang Qian had been looking back just now, and he asked, "What are you looking at?" Scald? Did the Timberwolves get a new cheerleader? Tang Qian shook his head and smiled: "No, it's just to see what this year's champion looks like." ”
"Lest you won't remember his face when you're done."
Nick Young: ......
The two sides lined up the starting lineups, the Lakers are still Tang Qian + Bosh + Ariza + Butler + Rondo, and the Timberwolves players are also very good now, at least on paper, Wiggins + Towns + Kevin. Martin + Garnett + Rubio. This is Garnett's last season, and he will announce his retirement after playing, and this season the Timberwolves have also given him absolute honors, all of which are starters, as long as he wants to play, no matter what the state is, let him play.
Preparing to start scrambling for the ball, Downs finally faced Tang Qian face-to-face in the middle circle, and as soon as he came up, Downs sprayed a "trash talk" and said: You know that the future is our alliance. Scald. You're the one I'm going to cut down. Tang Qian was not polite, and replied: Then you have to grow a few more years of hair.
Downs suddenly felt that his "trash talk" had lost a chip, and he cursed secretly: Old ball skin.
But Tang Qian suddenly sighed: I have actually become an old ball skin? yes, they're all in the 5th grade, aren't they? That's more than the average playing age in the NBA. But...... I'm 2 years older than you, and if you want to talk about the future, it's not what you tell me.
Tonight, have fun.
Celestial Empire Sports Station.
Today is a combination of Yang Yi and Yu Jia, although now the Penguin online live broadcast has taken away a lot of young fans, but there are still many people who are willing to watch the game in front of the TV, especially some older fans, especially some older fans.
"Okay, this game is actually a game with a big difference in strength, let's not discuss how the Lakers should play, let's talk about how the Timberwolves can play to win?" Yu Jia threw out a question that had been prepared a long time ago. Yangyi also cooperated: "Hey, this topic is good, it's a bit interesting, I think if the Timberwolves want to win, they must protect the inside line, otherwise they can't count on anything else." ”
"Why?"
"Because the Lakers have the league's No. 1 center on the inside." Yang Yi blew a wave and said: "The Timberwolves' defense is relatively poor this season, and the system has not changed strongly after the change of coach. Mitchell did not have the old coach Philip. Sanders' veteran experience, which makes the Timberwolves a single singles singles as soon as they get into trouble. Wiggins and Towns may both be promising stars in the future, but that's also in the future, not yet, they are still in the rookie period of their careers, and the pressure on them to do so is too great, and they can't stabilize at critical moments. Therefore, if you can't control the inside line, this ball can't be played. Everything is in vain. ”
It's a bit of an exaggeration every time Yang Yi says it, but the Timberwolves' three-point shooting is poor, only 33% overall, and they shoot very little, so far, they only sell about 15+ times per game, what about opponent stats? Up to 25.5 times, almost 26 times! Therefore, in the case that the outside three-point shot is not good enough, and the inside line is not good enough, it is indeed very difficult to win. This overflow is not nonsense.
This ball Larry. Brown is ready to experiment with a new lineup, and if the lead is bigger, he'll try it. And not in "garbage time", because this is a change in the main lineup. You have to try it at the main time.
This lineup change was conceived by him after two consecutive games against the Warriors, with the aim of strengthening the defense and more adapting to the league's small-ball trend. Not offensively, though, but defensively.
Exactly what it is, more on that later.
There was nothing to say about the scrum, Tang Qian easily dialed it, and the Lakers controlled the ball and prepared to attack for the first time. As slow as ever, the stormy style of play of last season has long been a thing of the past. At the beginning, Tang Qian still took the "activation teammate route", which is also what he has been implementing this season. I don't rush to shoot, and it's not too late to fight after my teammates are mobilized.
He made a block, and let Rondo get in, the Timberwolves' defensive system was very poor, and there were 3 people who came to help defend Rondo, which left the rest of the Lakers players vacated. Rondo is the man who has several assists in hand, and his vision and passing experience are among the best in the league, so he naturally bursts out of this kind of ball and shoots Ariza three-pointer from the outside.
Brush ~ scored ~ It's a pity that Ariza didn't pay attention to his feet and stepped on the line.
2-0, the Timberwolves attacked, they wanted to take a corner position to cut out the screen, and the outside was to shoot, but the Lakers' defense was very strong, so that the Timberwolves player who wanted to get around, that is, Wiggins, was entangled, and this tactic failed. This is the Timberwolves, or the head coach of the Timberwolves, Sam. Mitchell's shortcomings, the strain is too poor, a tactic fails, there is no backhand, it directly becomes a dribble and dribble, there is no time, strong shots.
missed, rebounded, Downs wanted to grab it, but found that he hadn't had time to jump, and the ball had already reached someone else's palm.
"Rookie, you want to grab rebounds with me with such an attitude? Be serious, or don't blame me for pressing you empty-handed for the whole game. ”
Damn it! This Oriental rebound is so fast, did he judge the landing point in advance?
But a ball is nothing, well, yes, so after the Lakers didn't shoot the next ball, Tang Qian directly squeezed Downs away, so that he easily grabbed the offensive rebound and handed it to the outside, Butler shot a three-pointer and then shot, brushing ~ hit.
The opening game is a dog, phew, no, it's a 5-0 opening.
"How did you get to average 10+ rebounds per game? Are they all brushed out? "Since it is a lesson for newcomers, or a newcomer who dares to provoke himself, it is always a little more "harsh" than usual. Well, although usually Tang Qian is not a gentle person on the field.
"I'll get it back! Take care of yourself! Oriental hot! Downs shot back.
"Retrieved?" Tang Qian suddenly showed the same smile as he had at the beginning: "If you can get it back, how about my brother buy you candy to eat?" Come on, boy. ”
"Although I don't think it's useful."
You......
Downs' face was "as gloomy as a genius."
