Chapter 429: Be a Leader
It's a tough game to play. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
G7, also known as "tie-breaking", is the most "torturous" time in a series.
What's more, the Lakers are about to play Game 7 of the Finals, and this kind of pressure is far from being comparable to any ordinary game. Historically, the Los Angeles people are indeed not very good at "grabbing seven battles", at least in the 60s and 70s, their record is difficult to raise their heads.
"Cheer up, boys! If you win tonight, I'll give you a prize on the spot! Look at the boxes over there! If you win, it's all yours! "The current owner of the Lakers, Jack. Kent. In order to boost the team's morale, Cook personally went to the Lakers' player locker room, and then continued the "dollar stimulus method".
Dollars are a good thing, not to mention in the 60-70s, a few thousand dollars is a huge amount of money.
But the atmosphere of the team is still a little dull.
No way, the closer to the start of the game, the clearer and more real the scene from 2 years ago.
The psychological factor may not be obvious in the regular season, but after entering the playoffs, it will be magnified tenfold in an instant. Many veterans are obviously "a mess" and "extremely mediocre" in the regular season, but why are they still the "hot goods" of many teams? For no other reason than to prepare for the series. Compared with many young players, veterans have rich experience in the playoffs, know how to play, seize opportunities, reduce mistakes, and even some veterans deliberately "waterproof" and deliberately "play dead" in the regular season, and suddenly "wake up" as soon as they enter the playoffs, as if they are two people in the regular season.
Typical examples are the "old fish" Fisher, Robert. Horry, Andrey. Iguodala, Tim. Duncan and so on.
Nominating these people is not to say how much his playoff average data has improved, but the role and performance of the court, compared to the regular season, completely improved by a notch or even several notches. In the '60s and '70s, the New York Knicks had that kind of guy, and he was No. 10 Walter. Fraser. And alas, the Lakers, didn't.
At least this season, no.
Because No. 44, who used to play this role, has fallen to the bottom in efficiency and ability this season, not to mention helping the Lakers score key goals, and being able to do his job well, thank God. So all of a sudden, the Lakers felt an unprecedented sense of anxiety and crisis.
West would like to "step up", but his current competitive form is ......
On the New York side, through the reversal of G6, in this game, their morale has increased greatly, looking at the Lakers, like wolves, waiting for the start of the game. On the Lakers' side, because "Mr. Key" West was not energetic, the game had not yet started, and the atmosphere in the locker room was faintly silent.
This kind of thing is called a psychological state, don't look at the Lakers who have entered the finals many times, but no one is contaminated with the breath of a championship. Even with the addition of substitutes on the bench, there is not a single ...... In addition to the Lakers' No. 13, Wilt. Chamberlain. As a team that has frequently entered the Finals since the sixties, there is no championship member, and this kind of thing, looking at the entire history of the NBA, is the only case. So unconsciously, "Tang Qian" has become the "hidden dependence" of this locker room.
For no other reason, he has a championship ring on his hand.
That's all there is to it.
It's enough to be the reason for all.
Tang Qian seemed to be aware of this situation, and after thinking about it, he stood up vigorously.
Why the word "vigorously"? Because Tang Qian is also "the first time a big girl has been on a sedan chair", whether it is the "leader of the locker room" or the "champion holder", he is the first time. Therefore, the mental activity is far more intense than everyone thinks.
Tang Qian sometimes really doesn't know how those "protagonists of time-traveling novels" can become both eloquent and leadership temperament from the slightest experience in one fell swoop. Could it be "crossing once", and you can also wash your "whole body temperament" by the way? Strengthen "leadership" and "charisma"? When he used to read novels, he felt a little nonsense, but now that he has "experienced it himself", he feels even more that it is really "nonsense" that is "not shallow". In fact, don't look at Tang Qian's standing up at the moment, but he has actually done a long time of "Heaven and Man Fighting" and "Compiling Abdominal Manuscripts" before, even so, the moment he stood up, he still faintly felt a little "dizzy" and "dry tongue".
It is said that when the core is cool, when the focus is enjoyable, there is a premise, can you pick up this scene.
Fortunately, Tang Qian's current identity is No. 13 "Wilt. Chamberlain", so he was a little more confident and said: "The big guys listen to me." "It can be seen that Chamberlain's status with the Lakers is really high, and he has the highest salary in the league, and his influence is really extraordinary.
When all the Lakers soldiers heard this, they all turned their heads, and then stared at Tang Qian, waiting for the next step.
Being stared at so seriously by so many people, Tang Qian was a little uncomfortable, but he had already stood up, how could there be any reason to sit down? With the help of "Wilt. Chamberlain", Tang Qian began to speak: "Chasing two rabbits, people will only get nothing, this is a famous saying of a Soviet and Russian writer, I want to apply it to the present, this moment, just right." I had a one-on-one conversation with Jerry yesterday, and I realized that we both had a little too much on our heads. Gains and losses are the key to our morale, and they are no match for New Yorkers. Why? Think about it, you keep thinking about things like 'failure', 'grabbing seven history' and 'overall runner-up' in your head, how can you do it to the other party without distractions and only have one idea of 'winning the game and winning the championship'? ”
"So I think at the moment, everyone should play this game as if it were the first game, as if it were a normal regular season, to be decent." Speaking of this, someone asked, opened his mouth and said, "Wilt, your words are not the same as your usual cheering words!" I used to hear people say that the next game should be played as the last game, how did it come to you, it's the complete opposite? "That's a good question, Leroy, and I'll tell you the answer." Tang Qian pointed to the front of him as he spoke: "Now you go closer first, get closer, okay, just stand here and don't move." ”
"Everyone is optimistic, this is my answer......" After speaking, Tang Qian actually turned around and punched it straight at Leroy. Ellis's Face Door. Then just before he was about to touch the latter's nose, Tang Qian stopped his fist and said, "Now do you understand?" ”
"Understood? What do I understand? What the hell are you doing, Wilt! "Leroy. Ellis is also a 208cm tall insider, and after being like this, he is a little embarrassed to get over his face. If it weren't for the fact that this person in front of him was even more terrifying and stronger. Chamberlain, he almost couldn't help but turn his face and scold. Tang Qian didn't care, but continued: "Haven't you been practicing boxing recently? Why can't you respond to this level? ”
"I, how did I know you would suddenly make a move, if normally I would definitely be able to react, today I was just in a bad state......" Leroy. As soon as Ellis said this, Tang Qian interrupted him and said, "You're on the point, Leroy, that's why I said that now we're going to treat the game as an ordinary regular season." ”
“ah~? Can you make it clearer about Wilt? At this time, what else are you doing guessing puzzles...... "Leroy. Ellis was complaining when someone in the locker room suddenly spoke, "Wilt, you mean that we were too nervous and too focused on the outcome of this game, so it backfired?" ”
"Bingo~Jerry, that's what I mean." The person who saw the speaker was Jerry. West, Tang Qian hurriedly snapped his fingers. In fact, he didn't have to be so "bothering", but the Lakers were in urgent need of something to attract attention and break the atmosphere, so he came up with such a seemingly "radical" approach.
"Jerry, do you understand? What exactly does Wilt mean? Why did he punch me all of a sudden? This ......"
Jerry. West deserves to be the "godfather" of the Lakers later, and as soon as his mind turned, he thought of the intention of "Tang Qian", and then explained: "Leroy, can you react calmly to Wilt's punch?" Even if it's sudden? ”
"Of course, although Wilt's punch just now came out suddenly, the speed and power are not too fast, and I will definitely be able to ...... under normal circumstances Wait, you mean, because of the upcoming G7, my body's reflexes, have become weaker? ”
Seeing that Leroy also reacted, Jerry. West nodded: "That's right, we all have this problem, because we are too focused on one thing, so it is counterproductive, so this is ...... Murphy's Law? Tang Qian smiled slightly, but in fact, his original intention was the "Jensen effect", but unfortunately in this era, the "Jensen effect" has not yet been born, so as long as the general meaning is good, it will work. After all, his original intention was to improve the morale of the team and break the negative negativity brought about by "curse" and "history".
"In this way, Wilt is right, the more we play this game as if it were the last game, the worse our competitive state will be, and the more psychological pressure will be." Jerry. West said, looked at "Tang Qian" more, and said: "Wilt, I didn't expect you to think of this, it seems that you have been hiding clumsily and refusing to do your best." ”
Since the Lakers' No. 13 came up with the "high-post pick-and-roll tactical system", Jerry. West's impression of him has changed greatly, and now there is such a "profound analysis", which really makes the former feel "incomprehensible" for a while.
It's as if after entering the Finals, the Lakers' No. 13 has changed as if they were a different person.
The ability to play has decreased a lot, but the ball intelligence and brain have also improved a lot.
"haha~ Jerry, you're kidding, I've always been so 'strong', okay!" "Tang Qian" faced West's words, and casually played a haha, and then took it over. Then he continued: "Do you want to know how I ended the damn Bostonian eight-game back then? Well? Excuse me, Mr. Salman, you wouldn't mind, would you? ”
Bill. Sharman shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course I mind as a player, but as a coach, I'm on the side of the Lakers now, you just have to say it." "Okay~ Thank you Mr. Sharman for your generosity, my strategy is, Bibier. Russell is more Bill. Russell! ”
"Bibil. Russell is more Bill. Russell? This, what does this mean? After hearing such a series of tongue twisters, the Lakers players were blindfolded again. But Bill. Shalman's head was clear, and he blurted out in an instant: "You mean defense and rebounding?" ”
"That's right." Tang Qian nodded and said.
"But Wilt, your average rebounds per game in this series is not ......"
Not equal to Bill. After Sharman finished speaking, Tang Qian said to himself: "It's not good-looking, right?" That's because ......"
"I'm saving up my strength just for this one!"
"Muster up your strength? What do you mean? Do you still want to emulate that year's Eastern Conference Finals and slash 41 rebounds in a single game? "Bill. Sharman asked. "41?" Tang Qian suddenly laughed and said, "Mr. Sherman, the opponent of the 41 is Bill. Russell, do you think there's Bill in New Yorkers? Russell? ”
"And what do you mean?" Bill. Sharman is also a little confused, because the single-game rebounding record in the playoffs is Chamberlain's 41 rebounds in a single game, and he has done this more than once, even facing the "old enemy" Bill in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals in 1697. Russell did this terrible statistic again. Bill. Russell and Wilt. Chamberlain is really a pair of destined "big enemies", the former suppresses the latter in the championship, and what about the latter? In terms of personal data and personal records, the former is also suppressed. The 55+ rebounds in a single game in the regular season were set against the former, and the most rebounds in a single game in the playoffs were also against Beal. Russell won, this kind of "background man" really deserves to be "sour". It's no wonder that American imperialist fans say that it was the Celtics who defeated Wilt. Chamberlain, not Bill. Russell defeated him, because aside from scoring, even the former's strongest rebounds and blocks were suppressed by life, this kind of tragedy, if the former hadn't become the "Lord of the Rings", it would have been a proper "second millennium" template.
"Since it's not Bill on the other side. Russell, then at least 50 rebounds, I booked it in advance! So don't have any psychological burden in this game, just shoot with open arms! If you can't shoot anyway, I'm going to take down that damn rebound! The Lakers No. 13 suddenly said a "groundbreaking" speech, which made the Lakers' locker room silent for a while.
……
Before the official start of the game, Jerry, who was still warming up. West suddenly approached Tang Qian's side and asked in a low voice, "Hey, Wilt, did you just go overboard with that motivational remark in the locker room?" 50+ rebounds in a single game? You may not be able to do it at your peak, right? You must know that the current record for the highest single-game rebounding in the Finals is only 40. What about Russell's achievements in '60 and '62, is that a bit of an exaggeration? In case you can't do it then...... I'm afraid ......"
"Jerry, when is it, are you still in the mood to think about this?" "Tang Qian" turned his head and said: "Besides, I'm not talking nonsense, because tonight, I'm going to challenge this goal!" "But Wilt, isn't this ......" Tang Qian cut off West's words and said seriously: "Yes or no, it's the last moment, we have to surpass ourselves, right?" Jerry, don't forget what you said during the day. ”
"In order to get the closest thing to the ring in this life, you must do your best to sweep away all the useless waste in your mind!" After hearing the words of "Tang Qian", Jerry. West's eyes paused, and then he muttered, "This life...... Could it be the closest thing to the ring...... The closest......"
"Besides, don't forget, Jerry." "Tang Qian" smiled confidently and said: "The single-game rebounding records in the regular season and playoffs, but I have them. Russell was only second, so the finals were ...... I'm not going to let him be number one! ”
"You guys just shoot at ease, and you can attack with confidence, because I'm Wilt. Chamberlain, the name, is the strongest guarantee of rebounding! ”
Looking at the Lakers' No. 13 who continued to warm up and shoot, Jerry. West slowly clenched his fists, and at the same time said silently in his heart:
