"Tonight is our last match, and if we lose this game again, the series will be over."

'Yes, but I believe in our team, they can keep their home turf. And don't forget, the Houston Rockets are truly resilient cities. ”

"This round is mostly James and Dwight who need to open, and they played too badly in the first two games to be enough for the Rockets to win. They need to step up like the real core players. ”

Before the start of the game, the on-site commentators at the Toyota Center began to analyze and discuss, especially Drexler, who was an NBA player, expressed his opinion. He believes that the reason why the Rockets will be beaten by the Lakers in the first two games in a row is mainly because the core players played too poorly, and the role players can't actually ask for more. This analysis seems simple, but in fact it is in a word, because in the first two games, Howard and Harden were in a slump, and there were two absolute strong points lost at once, and it was completely reasonable for the Rockets to play badly and be difficult to win. For example, if both Tang Qian and Bosh are in a slump, can the Lakers still win? Losing against any team will increase dramatically. T live broadcast, Barkley is still bragging about Tang Qian, this time Kenny. Smith and Reggie. Miller voted yes, and they began to publicly recognize the Lakers' No. 29, who is now the No. 1 center in the NBA.

Howard is a thing of the past. Unless in the last two games, he can play super god performances, that's pretty much the same.

O'Neal is still stiff-mouthed, and he uses clichés to say that basketball is round, and he doesn't think anything can settle until the series is over. He still didn't think Howard was there that way. After all, the current "Warcraft" is only 29 years old, which happens to be the peak of the golden age. O'Neal said what he thinks is the "golden age theory of the center", and he feels that although Tang Qian performed well in the regular season, he is more and more prone to problems when he plays back in the playoffs.

This is really a bit prejudiced, don't you see how O'Neal publicly buried Howard at that time? Why don't you look down on Howard? How did you suddenly turn into "Homi"? But this kind of thing is really not the first time O'Neal has done it, he has often reversed himself before, especially when Kobe has not led the team to win the championship himself, he bluntly said that Wade is much better than Kobe.

Wade can win the FMVP like a god, but Kobe Bryant can't, and after the Lakers lost to Boston in '08, he even publicly sang an insulting song in the speakeasy. Therefore, if you want to convince him and make him admit that you are strong, the easiest way is to overpower him in honor and blow him up in the ring so that he has nothing to say.

Otherwise, no matter how much you win as MVP, O'Neal will treat Steve Steve, the MVP of the year. Nash, like that, doesn't look down on you at all. He didn't do less of this kind of thing. Now, he feels more and more why he doesn't like the Lakers' No. 29, for any other reason than this guy, who is likely to threaten his position as the best center of the 21st century.

That's why he didn't like it at first sight.

Facts have proved that O'Neill's vision and intuition are still relatively accurate, and Tang Qian didn't even hit him back then, and now he is even more unhappy in the former's heart. O'Neal's cautious eye, which is known in the NBA.

He even openly said that he could blow up Abdul-Jabbar.

Of course, Abdul-Jabbar immediately jumped out and fought back, but it shows that Ao Fat is invincible in his heart.

"Wait? Shaq, do you really think Dwight can still match the heat right now? Are you serious? Barkley looked at O'Neill and questioned, and the latter did not waver, insisting on this, as if he were one of the few who had the truth. This made Barkley can't help but complain: "I have to say, your vision is really getting worse and worse, you can't see such an obvious advantage of perm, you really have to wear reading glasses." ”

In fact, don't talk about them, Yahoo Sports conducted a poll to compare Howard and Tang Qian, and the latter defeated the former by 86%. This actually shows that in the United States, most fans have begun to take Dwight. Howard was ruled out as the league's No. 1 center.

As for the Tianchao Sports Station, I also invited a more interesting special commentator here, that is, Yao Ming, a former star player of the Rockets. Because it was an official event, Yao Ming nodded and agreed, his current status and status are impossible to pass on the Internet and local stations for the time being. This is also an idea for Tianchao Sports Station to increase ratings, after all, it has entered the era of large ratings, and the impact of the network has made many traditional TV stations suffer a lot of impact.

Sure enough, as soon as Yao Ming came, he attracted a lot of fans to watch, and the word Chairman Yao immediately kept swiping on the interactive platform. This made the meteor shower extremely emotional about Yao Ming's domestic influence and popularity for a while, claiming to be known to the whole people, not fake. In terms of popularity, Yao Ming in China is estimated to be the so-called emperor superstar and little fresh meat in the entertainment industry, not to mention abroad, most people only know that Yao Ming does not know these so-called domestic stars.

When domestic basketball and football are weak at the same time, if someone really comes out, it must be extremely loud.

In fact, this is all an opportunity, if you want to become a national hero, the opportunity is not impossible, it depends on whether anyone can grasp it.

If there is really one, the expectations of hundreds of millions of fans, and the expectations of "poor and weak" for more than ten years, will be like gunpowder, crazy detonated.

Tang Qian, in fact, is now standing at such an opportunity point, coupled with the current promotion of the domestic basketball association, he is really well-known in China and is like a rocket, "rubbing" up and up. This situation makes many small fresh meat and even top stars in China feel red. This rally, how much money do they have to spend to stir up a lot of scandals.

Is...... Envy, jealousy, hatred.

However, I can only envy and hate, after all, people are athletes, and they speak by real results, let them train like this with Tang Qian, and they will be exhausted to death if they don't have a week. But compared with the future, Tang Qian's domestic popularity can only be said to have just begun. The future fame was not expected even by Yao Ming.

"Da Yao, I don't know what you think of this series and this game?" Zhang asked reasonably.

"Well, you're really asking me." Yao Ming acted as a surprise: "You also know that I am actually a complete rocket man." The Toyota Center is also my second home, and if it were someone else, I would definitely not hesitate to side with Team Rocket. But Tang Qian's words, I think I'm going to adjust my Rocketeer's stance for the time being. I couldn't help laughing at the scene, Yao Ming's sense of humor and emotional intelligence really didn't have to be said, which not only resolved the embarrassment of his own position but also invisibly chose Tang Qian's side.

Compatriots from the same country, Yao Ming chose the latter without hesitation.

This is political correctness and his inner choice.

Isn't it for the sake of national basketball to be better, isn't it good for him to be a team owner and a XX representative? What are you doing in this troubled water? If you don't get it right, it's easy to steal chickens and rice, and in the end, you'll be ashamed.

"I think if the Lakers want to win, they still have to follow the principle of putting defense first, and the playoffs are different from the regular season. I've always believed that defense is fundamental to winning in the playoffs. The defense is too poor and it is difficult to go far. Yao Ming didn't say it explicitly, but it also showed that he actually didn't agree with D'Antoni's coaching system, and he still thought that "offense buys votes, defense wins". What about the facts? also proves that Yao Ming is right, D'Antoni's set is not easy to succeed.

Uh, that is, not easy to win.

Last year, I was able to win the championship, and the fool knows what it is, the conditions are too special, and there are no conditions for replication at all.

"Da Yao, do you think Tang Potential will continue to suppress Howard in this game? What do you expect from Ah Lian? Meteor Shower asked. I think Howard should be able to recover at home, but Tang Qian should still be able to hold him down, of course, this is just my personal wish. As for Arlene, I think he should take advantage of the playoffs and do a good job of every offense and defense, so that he can better stay in the NBA and stay with the Lakers in the future. ”

"That's a very pertinent assessment." Director Zhang said: "Da Yao, you are still conservative, I think that now in this league, Tang Qian has become the number one center in the league, and Howard's era is coming to an end." Our Chinese center, both of them are the first C in the league. Yao Ming said with a smile: "Director Zhang, I don't dare to be this, I was not recognized as the first C back then." ”

"It's not bad, it's not bad." Zhang Weiping has long liked Tang Qian's more and more because Tang Qian is so competitive: "You are all leaders in national basketball, and I believe that Tang Qian will go to a higher position in the future." Speaking of this now, Zhang Weiping himself actually thinks that it is mostly "compatriot feelings" and "national feelings", but who knows, in the future, it will become a prophecy.

In the visiting locker room, Tang Qian said loudly to all the Lakers players:

"I have only one requirement for tonight, and that is to win."

"I only have one thought for this series, and that's a sweep."

"Let's end this boring first round early, our goal is not to come back to Houston next time."

As for the Rockets, McHale is still the same old-fashioned, "mental motivation method", and it is still a very low-level "chicken blood method". It's not that you don't want to "fight chicken blood" at this time, "chicken blood" plays well, and you can play the role of "Zen master" Phil. Jackson's role made the team as a whole explode in calm and peace. But what about McHale? still talked about his "brilliant career resume", and said how he was at Celtic at that time, how he faced difficulties and solved difficulties. This sounds good at first, but after listening to it too much, it becomes boring, like chewing wax.

There is no way, McHale's coaching ability is only at this level, and the best way for the Rockets to improve is to solve it from the source, and this source is the head coach.

The lineup has not changed much from before, the Lakers are still Tang Qian + Bosh + Ariza + Butler + Jeremy Lin, and the Houston Rockets are Howard + Harden + Terry + Terrence. Jones + Josh. Smith.

At the beginning of the game, Tang Qian scramble for the ball successfully, and then gave it to Jeremy Lin, Jeremy Lin pushed quickly, he has played in this mode for a season, and he has long been familiar with it, and then the Lakers' two wing arrows quickly went left and right, looking for an opportunity to directly kill the Rockets' basket. The Rockets' defense was very fast, and it seemed to prevent the Lakers' double-wing fast down, but Butler divided the ball and gave it to the outside who had just run over, Chris. Bosh. Bosh has a great role and is very tactically significant, and here he can not stop the ball at all and directly raise his hand to shoot three-pointers.

Brush~

The first shot hit, which made Bosh feel good, and he waved his right hand vigorously. Bosh is shooting more than 3-for-8 from 3-point range this season, reaching 38.9 percent. That's a bit higher than his 37.5 percent three-point shooting percentage. It's normal to think about it, although it's difficult to increase one-percent after the three-point shooting rate reaches a high level, but D'Antoni's system plays fast, and three-point shooting is the main way to shoot. If you look at Bosh's three-point shot this year, it is obviously a lot higher than his own shots in the original time and space, which is why his shots are less than 15+, but he can average more than 20 points per game. More three-pointers and more accurate shooting percentages directly improved his scoring efficiency.

Moreover, the Lakers' interior Tang Qian's offense exploded this season, soaring from 12.2 points last season to an average of 28 points per game! No matter how much this says about the data bonus of the D'Antoni system, it is exaggerated enough. Many people say that the award for the most improved player should actually go to the Lakers' No. 29. This huge containment ability has allowed Bosh to get more outside opportunities.

He himself went from the Heat's No. 3 scoring spot to the Lakers' No. 2 scorer, and of course the score would have gone up.

This is also a reason.

Furthermore, Don Qian is not LeBron. James, he's not going to control all the ball so that his teammates only have to play off the ball as a shooter. "Not abandoning star teammates" is also a difference for him. Therefore, Bosh is very hopeful to squeeze into the best team again this season.

Anyway, the call is not low.

In this game, Harden and Howard both played a lot harder, because the pressure from the outside made them feel that they could not be swept again, so they still played a few good waves of offense at the beginning. What about the Lakers? In fact, there was also a little laxity, which also gave the Rockets a lot of opportunities in the first quarter. The big score lead and 2 hanging games made many Lakers players subconsciously relax a little bit and look down on their opponents. Several balls were scored by the opponent due to lack of concentration, which kept the score bitten by the Houstonians and did not pull away.

Howard did not end the game in regular time, he chose to continue to play, which he also strongly requested, because he and Tang Qian have played so many games, even if they are defeated repeatedly, they can still find a little problem. That is, the physical groove of this oriental center is not as good as his own. He can play the whole game, or force a few 40+ minutes, that oriental, he basically can't do it. When the physical strength is exhausted, the efficiency declines extremely quickly. Finally, Howard failed so many times, and he also researched something that could be slightly targeted at Tang Qian.

Tang Qian still rotated after the regular season to rest, Howard took the opportunity to attack the inside line crazily, he played the ball very resolutely, how can he also be the top few players in the league, although it is ESPN platoon, but the ability is definitely not bad. Moreover, in the past few years, his playoff mentality is obviously stronger than the "nightclub Deng" around him. Isn't there a famous saying that Howard, who wants to play happy basketball, meets Kobe Bryant, who wants to play seriously, and Howard, who wants to play seriously, also meets Harden, who wants to play happy basketball.

When this kind of tragedy happened to him, Howard really wanted to die.

This game is the beginning.

The Rockets and the Lakers bit each other, and the first half was very intense, mainly because Howard used Don to sneak off the court and slammed the Lakers' interior line, which made everyone a little unresponsive. How to say it, Howard, who returned from injury in the first two games, was not in shape at all, he played too badly, and he directly "swallowed zero" on the court, which made many people in the Lakers despise him, but facts have proved that Howard's ability is still there, and he is still a star player.

This season, if it weren't for Tang Qian, no one would have made him so miserable and embarrassed.

Besides, Howard's game broke out, and he was pressed for so many games, if he doesn't break out again, then he doesn't deserve to be a star player. will lose star status. Besides, he himself did just come back in those two games, and he didn't find rhythm and form for many things, plus it was the home court of the Lakers, and the opponent was too strong, which made him play so embarrassed.

But you want to rely on a Thackeray to block him, that's a dream, Howard scored 10 points in one go, 5 shots, at this time D'Antoni signaled Yi Jianlian to go up and wrap up with Thackeray, but the effect was still not good. Howard's state has opened up in this game, and the pressure of the last two games has forced him to explode.

This guy is so fierce, just now I saw Tang Qian suppressing him, and I didn't feel that I was against him...... The bones are going to be torn down.

How strong is the No. 5 position of our team, and such a powerful person can hold it down? It's terrifying.

Yi Jianlian felt the power of the former league's No. 1 center in these few package defenses, and it was really not covered.

Only when he went up to defend himself did he know how much pressure Tang Qian's defense was.

How strong the defense is.

It's not surprising that Howard broke out into Tang Qian, because during this time, in the Rockets' playoffs, you flip through the newspapers and post-game reviews at that time, and the key moment is that Howard is in the thigh. Otherwise, the phrase "Howard who wants to play happy basketball meets Kobe Bryant who wants to play seriously, and Howard, who wants to play seriously, also meets Harden who wants to play happy basketball" would not be popular. Not to mention the original 13-14 season, Howard averaged close to 26+14+2+3 data per game, with a shooting rate of around 55%, which is completely at the level of a real superstar, but teammate Harden's shooting rate is only 37.6%, less than three points, and 26.8 points look good, but the fact is that in key games, Harden has disappeared and is invisible. He was killed by the Trail Blazers in the first round. What about this season? Look at Harden's performance, especially in the second half, miserable. All kinds of lost, too many to count. So in the playoffs, Tang Qian really didn't take this so-called "first quartile of the league" to heart. At least, in the 14-15 season.

But he didn't know, let alone the 14-15 season, Harden would not be able to escape this cycle for years to come.

The key battle of the playoffs was lost, and he has become the bearded "demon".

So in this series, it was enough to strangle Howard, who was supposed to be a thigh, and the Rockets had no life.

In the locker room, Tang Qian smiled and said to D'Antoni: "Don't worry, sir, that demon ** is for me." He can't make thighs. ”

"We Chinese centers are born to fight monsters."

All of a sudden, the slightly solemn atmosphere in the dressing room was diluted.
