Chapter 519: Cover to the Knicks Doubt Life (Part I)
"OH~MY~GOD~" Knicks' live commentator, famous mouth Mike. Brin suddenly said loudly, "What did I see? Kobe Bryant, Kobe Bryant, actually gave Dwight. Howard punches ??? Is this true??? What the hell happened to the Lakers??? This voice made the nearly 20,000 fans in Madison Square Garden look sideways, looking at the direction of the Lakers' bench area and whispering. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the T.N.T live broadcast room, there were also several exclamations:
"Ah~ What just happened? Bryant. Bryant actually threw a punch at Dwight. Howard's face? What makes Black Mamba emotionally explode? Lose? Can't make the playoffs? Or is it overwhelmed by the pressure of external public opinion? ”
"Kenny, no matter what the cause is, I think the Lakers are going to collapse and disintegrate right now."
"I agree with you, Reggie, Kobe's punch is equivalent to burying the future of the Lakers." Kenny. Smith said: "Even if it fails this season, there is still next season, the strength of the Lakers' book lineup should not be underestimated after all, as long as there is enough time to run in, I think we can still return to the ranks of championship contenders." But this punch goes down, estimated Mickey. Kupchak is busy! ”
"Kobe. Bryant, the closest to Jordan's No. 2 position, is still inferior to Jordan after all. "Reggie. Miller sighed a little.
……
"You dare to hit me??? Old Dog !! I'm going to kill you!! With a yell, Howard rushed in the direction of Kobe, who was also ready for a big fight, raising his fists and swinging diagonally in front of his chest. But Howard's impact was unsuccessful, because someone pulled him down and said, "Hey, no fighting, understand?" Warcraft? ”
Howard turned around and was about to scold angrily, but as soon as he saw a clear face, he immediately calmed down and said, "Dongfang...... Dongfang Iron, he did it first, didn't you see it? How do you know that Tang Qian's "uprightness" came and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't see it, I just lowered my head and tied my shoes." ”
Tie your shoes??? I believe that you have a ghost!!
Howard was furious again, "You're deliberately biased, right??? You've made up your mind to support this old dog, right??? ”
"Be careful when you speak." Tang Qian said lightly: "He is one of the souls of the Lakers, who am I not supporting him?" ”
Tang Qian's eyes twitched, and he said with a slight joke: "Is it difficult to support you?" ”
"You bastard! You ......"
"Hey, do you want to fight?" Tang Qian deliberately made a "fierce and vicious" appearance and said: "If that's the case, I'll accompany you, as long as you want to get beaten by yourself, the high-definition picture will spread all over the United States tomorrow, oh, no, it's the world." As soon as Howard heard this, he lost a few percent of his courage in an instant, because the former had beaten him badly in the locker room last time. That secretly recorded mobile phone video, Howard watched it once and his heart beat once.
Now, everyone on the Lakers, including Howard, has basically recognized the fact that the Lakers No. 29 will definitely have that mysterious Chinese kung fu! Otherwise, can you beat a person who weighs 280+ pounds like a rag doll? Did you think it was Captain America? Did you think it was the Avengers?
After that one incident, all the players of the Lakers team have significantly improved their attitude towards Tang Qian.
One is because Howard should fight, showing off his might on weekdays and making fun of others everywhere, Tang Qiangang has helped many people to take a bad breath! The second is that the combat ability of this oriental center is really terrifying! It was so scary that several substitute players even quietly discussed in private whether this Oriental and Captain America could be tough for a few rounds!
Compared to a comic book character, this would have been almost unthinkable.
But within the Lakers, it has become an "open secret."
Don't mess with No. 29 if you mess with anyone, otherwise "Warcraft Fall" is an example!
Well, as for what is "Warcraft Fall"? This is an "adjective" that some good people on the Lakers have come up with in private. However, after Tang Qian heard this, he felt very appropriate, so he said, "Or, do you still want to experience the 'Monster Fall' again?" ”
When he heard the word "Warcraft Fall", the muscles on Howard's face seemed to tremble involuntarily, and the mobile phone video that was originally going to record his "fat beating" opponent has become Howard's most frightening memory now.
Let's not talk about whether it's embarrassing or not, the main thing is ...... Buddhist nun. Cornelian. It hurts!!
But how did he know that Tang Qian couldn't do a "Demon Beast Fall" now. Howard, who is "Bow Cup Snake Shadow", has no courage to "try again" at all. The shadow of the last time made Howard's heart have a great sense of fear.
So after that incident, although Howard hated Tang Qian very much in his heart, he only dared to come to Yin, what a positive force, this kind of thought never appeared for a second.
In short, Dwight. Howard was scared by Tang Qian.
"You, is that how you treat your teammates?" Howard was short of words and cowardly, so he could only "argue" like this. But this kind of soft and weak questioning, Tang Qian will take it to heart? The latter just smiled and said, "Are you our teammate?" Or is it still the future? This question made Howard's heart weak, and he almost thought that this Eastern center had seen through his heart.
"Of course, of course." Howard said a little unconfidently: "Am I not wearing a Lakers jersey?" ”
How do you know that Tang Qian suddenly said something he didn't understand: "Being in Cao Ying's heart is in Han, this kind of thing can't be hidden from history in the end." "What is in Cao Ying's heart in Han? What the hell are you talking about? Why can't I understand at all? Old English? Ancient opera lines? Tang Qian didn't answer Howard's question, he only said one sentence: "Respect your jersey, this is the most basic work ethic as a professional player, right?" ”
"I, of course I know, I don't need you to tell me." Howard said with some hesitation.
What people didn't expect was that the conflict of the Lakers did not escalate, as if they were about to ignite a raging fire, but they were suddenly poured a bucket of cold water head-on. Everything was stiffly calm.
At least for the time being.
For the sake of the later "revenge" plan, Howard chose "heroes don't suffer immediate losses" and chose "endure humiliation and steal their lives".
Seeing that Howard was leveled down by Tang Qian, Kobe Bryant had no intention of continuing to expand, and turned his head to continue the proposal just now: "Mr. D'Antoni, I suggest replacing Howard, otherwise the New York team will continue to implement the no-ball foul tactic." "Mike. D'Antoni also knew that Kobe Bryant was right, so after a little thought, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, then replace Dwight for the time being." ”
"Who's going to do it? Do you want to change the iron? D'Antoni asked Bryant for advice.
Kobe glanced at Tang Qian on the bench, nodded and said, "Just replace him." ”
……
"haha~ As long as you continue to 'chop' a few times later, tonight's victory will be considered stable!" With a big lead in hand, Carmelo . Anthony finally smiled and said loudly: "Let's send the Los Angeles people to hell completely!" ”
But Carmelo. Anthony's idea was doomed to fall through because with less than 3 minutes left in the third quarter, the Lakers replaced Dwight. Howard, replaced No. 29 Tang Qian in advance. This has been extremely rare in recent times.
And as soon as Tang Qian walked on the field, he faced Carmelo. Anthony said: "Hi~ Have you just brushed enough points?" ”
Anthony asked with a calm face, "What do you mean?" ”
"It's not interesting." Tang Qian replied simply: "It's just that I'm going to play." ”
"And you, too, are going to stop scoring."
Beep~ The referee blew the whistle and the Lakers kicked off. Blake dribbled the ball across half court.
It could also be that there were more points ahead, so Kidd didn't defend particularly tightly from the start.
This makes Steve. Blake managed to dribble to the Knicks' half.
He passed the ball to Gasol on the inside, and Gasol dribbled and hit back, but in the moment when he was about to turn, the Spaniard found Jamison's shooting gap, so he quickly played the ball, and the basketball flew directly into the Lakers' No. 4, Antoine. Jamison's hands. Jamison shot the basketball, the rhythm was okay, and there was no interference in the shooting process, but the basketball hit the iron, and with a "bang", the basket was smashed out.
But the rebound was taken away by Don Potential, who hit the ground and passed to Paul on the other side of the interior before forming an inside bag. Gasol. Gasol suddenly hooked his hand to shoot, brushed ~, played the basketball board, and drilled into the Knicks' nets at a 45-degree angle.
There are only 18 points left.
48-66, but that didn't make the Knicks any alarm.
After all, it's still 18 points ahead, isn't it?
Kidd passes inside, Kenyon. Martin dunked the Lakers' basket vigorously, and the two of them had been playing together for a long time, so they had quite a tacit understanding with each other. Although Martin is old now, he still can't forget the "old business" of jumping and dunking. In fact, when he can't even do this old job, it's time for him to leave the NBA.
It's a pity that tonight, the Lakers' interior line is more solid than ever.
Syllable~
Tang Qian sacrificed his tenth block in this game!
The Hatter, New York No. 3, Kenyon. Martin!
Tyson. Chandler picked up the ball, attacked twice, and shot with a small throw under the basket, and the situation was the same as Martin, with a "snap", and was easily slapped by the Oriental slap. Jamison got the ball and passed it to Steve. Blake. Steve. Blake dribbles forward.
Here you can see him and Steve. There is a gap in Nash's ability, both the No. 1 position and the same "Steve", this Steve has a huge gap with the latter's Steve in terms of passing, advancing speed, timing or vision.
To put it mildly, it's really a bit of an all-round gap, not on one level.
If it's Steve. Nash, that will definitely see 3~4 passing positions in this defensive counterattack, think of 3~4 passing methods. But Steve. Blake, he can't do it. This is the naked limitation of personal ability.
It's not that he doesn't want to play better, it's just that he can't.
With the same physical fitness, the gap between him and Nash is so big, it shows that the "core ability" of the No. 1 position in basketball is not physical fitness and athletic talent.
If you waste the opportunity to defend quickly and counterattack, it will only turn into positional warfare in the end. Compared with the former, the cost of physical energy and energy in positional warfare is not known to be many times greater. And the difficulty of scoring goals in positional battles is not in the same dimension as fast defensive counterattacks. Both sides are in position, set up formation, and then the attack and defense begin.
After being reprimanded by Anthony, Tyson. Chandler was a lot more aggressive defensively, which made Gasol feel more and more difficult to attack, and this time he couldn't even take his position in stride. Gasol's side is not going well, Steve. Blake could only pass the ball to Antoine on the other side. Jamison.
Jamison's opponent is none other than "Little Melon" Carmelo. Anthony.
Although Anthony has never been on the All-Defensive Team in his career, his defense is still in the upper middle or even upper reaches of the league. I've heard such a joke before, but any star, regardless of offensive and defensive ability, is inherently higher than role players and substitute players. Except for some defensive masters who specialize in defense, Anthony's single defense effect is often not bad.
As for why he didn't win the best defensive lineup, one is that his defense has no continuity, the second is that he doesn't have the determination to dominate both offensive and defensive ends, and the third is that he deliberately maintains physical fitness on the defensive end in order to maintain efficiency and energy on the offensive end. This is very similar to Maddie in the later period. But you're going to say Maddie's defense is bad? People really have to defend seriously, and it's very strong and very good, but like Anthony, Maddie is also easy to fall into the above three "defensive circles".
"Come and try, I'll defend you, old bone!" Anthony looked at Jamison and said with a confident expression.
If this is Jamison's peak, without saying a word, he will definitely do it, after all, he is also a person who averages nearly 25+ points per game in a single season, and there is no doubt about his offensive firepower and ability. But now, he felt the aging of his body, and a lot of movements and techniques that he could no longer use in reality.
It's almost 37, what more could you ask for?
And he is not the core of the Lakers, so there is no need or right to force one-on-one like this, so Jamison chose to pass. The pass was given to No. 24, who was on the wing, Kobe Bryant. Bryant.
Sure enough, after the loss of Nash, Kobe Bryant's offensive end changed from running without the ball to cutting into a ball + wing back single.
Compared with the former, it is clear that the physical exertion is much more intense.
But now, apart from Gasol, he is indeed the Lakers' only independent offensive point.
Of course, it is also the strongest point in the No. 2 position in the active league.
New York's No. 2 is no match for the Black Mamba.
Back to the body, turning, and backward jumpers, this action is really in addition to Chicago No. 23, only the Lakers No. 24 can do it so smoothly, so chic, and so elegant.
Brush~
The basketball pierced the Knicks' basket.
50-66, there is still a 16-point gap.
The Knicks attacked, Kidd made a three-point shot and missed, but because he knocked on the front of the basket and rebounded a lot, it directly turned into a high-level rebound. By Carmelo. Anthony snatched it up.
"Carmelo got the rebound! Carmelo makes a layup in the box! oh~no~ was blocked by the Lakers' No. 29 again! But Carmelo grabbed the rebound again! Carmelo continued to attack, and he made a shooting feint that seemed to try to fool his opponent! "In Mike. Under Brin's full-court commentary, Tang Qian said to Anthony: "Don't bother, I won't eat such a lame basket feint like yours." ”
"What do you say? You say my feints are lame? Anthony yelled, made a quick shot and said, "Who do you think you are?" Olajuwon or Shaq. O'neill? Tang Qian replied while jumping: "I'm no one, I'm just me, but your feints under the basket are really lame." ”
Syllable~
"Oh my God! He's blocked again? Is this Oriental cap really so strong? "Mike. Brin was very surprised: "I look at his stats in this game, oh~, he has 13 blocks!" When was it so easy to get a double on a cap? So worthless? Has this ever happened in NBA history? "Right here in Mike. Brin was amazed when Walter beside him. Fraser suddenly spoke, "Of course, Mike. ”
"Yes? When? This is a double cap! "Mike. Brin asked, turning his head.
"It was the era when we played." Walter. Fraser was born in 1945. Brin was born in 61, so the "flood years" of the NBA, the latter had no impression at all, and it is impossible to have any impression. "In our day, it was a rarity to get a double cap, but there were people who could do it frequently. At least for them, a double-double block is the same as a double-double-rebound in scoring, and it's not too difficult. "Hear this, Mike. Brin wondered, "No, is there anyone else who can do it frequently?" Is that still human? Are you sure you're not playing volleyball? ”
"Really." Walter. Fraser said, "Their name is Wilt. Chamberlain and Bill. Russell. ”
All of a sudden, Mike. Brin stopped talking because he had no say at all during those NBA years.
"I know you may not believe it, but I'm going to say ...... anyway," Walter said. Fraser said: "The blocking ability of these two people is like a visitor from outside the world, especially the former...... If you really want to be more serious, he can cover your doubts about life. "Mike. Brin asked, "How many blocks can you average per game?" ”
"It's about 8~9 in a career, but if you count a certain season, hehe." Walter. "Both of them have had seasons averaging double blocks per game," Fraser said. And more than once. "Really, really? If so, it's a little scary. "Mike. Brynn said: "How did you deal with them in those days?" ”
"Luckily, I'm facing Oxlade-Chamberlain at the end of his career, and with a knee injury, he's not as athletic as he used to be. As for Bill. Russell, he retired the third year after I entered the league. But I still remember that every night the New York Knicks were going to play the Lakers and Celtics, I would secretly pray that I would get two fewer blocks. "Hear this, Mike. Brin quipped, "Well, Walter, how many times have you been overshadowed by them in a game?" Can you tell us about it? ”
I thought Walter. Fraser would think for a long time, but unexpectedly the latter blurted out: "I was probably overshadowed by Russell 4~5 in a single game, as for Wilt. Chamberlain, I remember very well, it was my first year in the league, and Wilt was still with the Philadelphia 76ers. It was Christmas Eve, and after a game, I came off the bench and made seven shots, all of which were taken by the monster in the box. Then Reed, who had just joined the Knicks, was borne. Mr. Holzman, scolded me and then ...... "Look at Walter. Fraser stopped at the key point, and Mike Brown. Brin anxiously asked, "What happened then?" ”
Walter. Fraser spread his palms and said, "Then I sat on the bench for the whole game and didn't play again until the end of the game. "Wow~ That's a sad story, Walter." Mike. Brin teased, "And how many blocks did Chamberlain put on in the end?" ”
"First of all, it's not a sad story." Walter. Fraser serious: "It's a horrible story. ”
"He seems to have built it 18 or 19 times that night, right? I remember less than 20 times anyway. "From Walter. In Fraser's calm tone, Mike. Brin was shocked and said, "No, less than 20? Is that playing volleyball? Your hands are numb, aren't you? ”
"I don't know." Walter. Fraser said: "Fortunately, the block records at that time were not officially recorded by the NBA, only by live data recorders and reporters, otherwise, you would have seen a more exaggerated "basketball emperor". Of course, I personally don't think his hands are numb, because he has to go to bed to play after playing every day. So to be numb is also hemp on the bed, not on the basketball court. ”
"How do you limit this monster? How can others fight this? "Mike. Brin asked.
"There is no limit at the peak, don't you see that their data is so perverted?" Walter. Fraser said: "But fortunately, Chamberlain has the Boston limit, so his championship number has not been too high, which is also a blessing in misfortune." Otherwise, I doubt Wilt would destroy basketball as a competitive sport. "Celtic? So who limits the Celts? "Mike. Brin continued.
"No one can stop it." Walter. Fraser reminisced as he said, "Didn't look at Bill. Is Russell so many rings that you can't wear it on both hands? If he had to say it, it was Wilt who could stop it. The eight-in-a-row hegemony of the Green Shirts ended in the hands of the latter. Therefore, there is really some basis for saying that the two of them are old enemies. ”
"But after all, that was a long time ago, and since then, there have never been cap monsters like Chamberlain and Russell, right? I remember that the strongest Olajuwon in the back is only an average of 4+ blocks per game, do you think this Eastern center can reach it? "Walter. Fraser heard the words and said: "The average block number of 4+ per game is indeed a hurdle, how many block powerhouses can't break through that realm?" I remember the last time it was in the '95-96 season, Mutombo was in this realm, and then how many years have it been? There are no more 4+ blockers. ”
"That's right, I think since the NBA reopened the era of three-second defense, the block 4+ should not be able to happen again."
"No, I disagree with you, Mike." Walter. Fraser said: "You think too highly of the power of this three-second defense, in fact, give the previous blockers a little time to get used to it, they can also be powerful and slap the opponent's nose and face swollen." And not to mention the three-second defense thing, the NBA has had it a long time ago, and it was done in the 60s, and then because it didn't limit Chamberlain and Russell, but instead fueled their interior power, it was stopped by default after a few seasons. Because the weakening of the rules is overall, and their realm is too high, it seems that they have weakened the general public, and neither of them has anything to do! As for the later 80s, there were also three seconds of defense, but it was modified to a small penalty area of 12 feet on the weak side. The strong are always strong, that's absolutely right. ”
"As for this Oriental kid, although I don't like him very much, look at how many blocks per game he has averaged this season? It seems to be an average of 3.3~3.4 per game? Surpassed the second place Sergi. Ibaka has a lot of them, and if nothing happens, he will defend his NBA block title this season. "Walter. Fraser looked at the Lakers' No. 29 and said: "It's not even the soy sauce time in the first half of the season, his average number of blocks per game should have been 4+ a long time ago." ”
"But there is one thing, the NBA's average blocks per game should be 5+ at most, you haven't done enough homework, Mike~"
"Walter, are you so optimistic about him?" Mike. Brin was a little surprised because he knew about Walter. Fraser is a very far-sighted person who doesn't easily praise others, especially non-Knicks players. Walter. Fraser said: "It's just a matter of facts, he has built 13 hot pots now, what if he doesn't admit it?" ”
"I just hope that the Knicks can wake up quickly and don't forcibly give away the hat on a night when the state of the block master explodes."
But the audience at Madison Square Garden soon discovered that Walter. Fraser said yes.
