Chapter 324: Tang Qianding's First Shot (I)
On December 2, 2012, the Los Angeles Lakers challenged the Orlando Magic away. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is the first time that "Warcraft" Howard has faced the "old master" since joining the Los Angeles Lakers.
As soon as Howard entered, the overwhelming boos immediately rose.
This is a very common thing in the NBA, especially Howard's "Huo loyalty" backsliding, which has aroused the anger of the people of Orlando. When James transferred to the Heat, Howard once secretly ridiculed him, saying that he would play for the Orlando Magic for life, and everyone knew the result. Since then, there has been another legend of "Huo Zhongzhong" on the "rivers and lakes".
Warcraft played a very aggrieved game, probably because he wanted to perform well too much, but his mentality was a little unbalanced, although he scored 15 rebounds, but the shooting rate of more than 40% and the poor free throw of 9 of 21 directly buried the Lakers' good situation. Even if Kobe Bryant scored 34 points, 7 assists and 7 rebounds in this game, it didn't help.
And in this game, Orlando also gave other teams a wake-up call, when they can't do Los Angeles, they can find Dwight. Howard strikes. The tactic, known as "chopping Huo", began to become very popular this season.
Gasol only played 28 minutes in this game, and got 11 points and 7 rebounds, which allowed Tang Qian on the bench to get a lot of playing time. In this game, Tang Qian played 30 minutes and got 13 rebounds, 4 blocks, 2 points and 1 assist.
There is still an advantage to being on the same team with Howard, that is, most of the opponent's interior energy is focused on the former, which greatly reduces Tang Qian's offensive and defensive pressure. Otherwise, the inside line of the Magic team is still capable, at least Nikola. Vucevic is also averaging a double-double per game this season, and he also has a "meat shield forward" Glenn next to him. Davis escorted, so if he really greeted Tang Qian, Tang Qian would also feel very tricky.
But alas, the Lakers have Dwight. Howard, Tang Qian's pressure is less than half?
So he was able to get such a good personal data, half of the credit of "Warcraft".
But in the end, the Lakers still lost, because the overall shooting rate was too worrying, and the shooting rate was only 41.9% in the whole game. And what about the opponents? 50%! With a decrease of nearly 10 percentage points, it is too difficult to win. Moreover, they still had 34 assists in this game, 15 more than the Lakers, and they bloomed more, and the Los Angeles "Star Battleship" was devastated.
And the Lakers' own 18 mistakes are also self-digging behavior.
Under a wave of boos, Dwight. Howard left Amway Centre in embarrassment.
Lost again! This feeling! It's undoubtedly a bad mood!
Kobe Bryant had a conversation with Howard on the plane, and no outsiders knew what the content was, but looking at Howard's expression, it shouldn't be any words of praise or praise. This is also Kobe Bryant. Bryant's personality, if you play well, I can praise you, if you play badly, then I will definitely not tell a lie. At least until Kobe Bryant's Achilles tendon rupture, it was such a "not very likable" character.
On December 4, the Lakers moved to Houston to take on the Rockets at the Toyota Center.
This game, Paul. Gasol was completely suspended, because as soon as he got off the plane, he felt a strong discomfort in the soles of his feet. Viti advised him not to play tonight for the time being.
This is very bad news, at the beginning of the season, the "vigorous" and "imposing" Los Angeles Lakers "four kings", in the blink of an eye, only Kobe and Howard are left.
Cut directly in half.
This year, the Rockets have completely "changed shotguns", not only brought Jeremy Lin, but also the "future first percentile" James. Harden. When the Lakers played against the Rockets, Harden did not play because of a severe cold, and this game was the first time Tang Qian saw No. 13 wearing a Rockets uniform in the Toyota Center.
"Hi~ hot~ long time no see~ is it okay lately~" Jeremy Lin, who is also yellow-skinned, greeted Tang Qian in a friendly manner.
"It's okay~ What about you?" Tang Qian saw that it was Jeremy Lin, and also turned around and asked.
Jeremy Lin shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "I don't know, I always feel that Houston is not the same as I imagined, my mother told me that the Chinese have an old saying, good horses don't eat back grass, I don't know if I made a wrong decision." Jeremy Lin came to the Rockets for a tryout before, but was quickly cut by the team, so what he meant by "good horses don't eat grass" should be what he meant.
Jeremy Lin was originally full of confidence and wanted to come to Houston to be the boss, but unexpectedly, Morey's side "unknowingly" introduced James. Harden. It seems to be a reinforcement team, but in fact it is a stupid "overlapping function" behavior. Because Jeremy Lin and Harden are both types of people who need to have the ball in their hands, and you put them together, and they are both starters, how do you distribute the ball?
But Morey, the general manager of the Rockets, is a "numerical analyst", and he once disclosed to the media that he relies on simulated 2K games to determine the future trend of the Rockets. is such a guy, although he doesn't have any bad contracts in his hands, but he often doesn't have any big money, even if he brings in stars, he can't keep them. In addition, with the "puzzle" of the core players, he has also been sparse for a long time, and he is not a particularly clever team general manager, so he can only be said to be very competent.
The introduction of Harden is a problem.
Because he and Jeremy Lin can't coexist at all, either you don't bring in Jeremy Lin, or you don't bring in Harden, otherwise one of the two of them will always be dissatisfied and need to change their own style of play. Looking at the "Big Three" in Miami, they all need to distinguish who is in charge, and they all need Wade to take the initiative to back down, especially Harden and Jeremy Lin this season.
So Jeremy Lin later revealed to himself that he was not happy at all when he lived on the Rockets.
Because from the moment he saw Harden, Jeremy Lin was "like a lightning strike" and felt that he had been deceived by Morey.
Tang Qian looked at this yellow-skinned "little man" and sighed in his heart, because he knew that Jeremy Lin's "disaster" had just begun. This season, he is still one of the starting five tigers, the main force of the iron fight, and next season, he was directly relegated to the bench, and at that time period, it was Jeremy Lin's real "torment".
But all this, he can't say clearly, can only vaguely remind that you may not be suitable for Houston.
In this game, the Lakers' starting five tigers were: Kobe Bryant. Bryant, Ricks. Du Hong, Ci Shiping, Dwight. Howard, Tang Qian. That's right, because the Lakers have suffered massive injury erosion, so many rosters have to be redistributed and adjusted. This is also a test for Mike, who has just taken office. D'Antoni's first big thing.
Not just Nash and Gasol, but even the leading backup point guard Steve Brown. Blake, both of whom suffered a torn thumb ligament, is on the team's injury list. In this case, Mike. D'Antoni had no choice but to move out of this lineup urgently.
At least it seems that the strength is passable, and it won't be too bad.
On the Rockets' side, the starting lineup is: James. Harden, Chandler. Parsons, O'Mill. Asik, Patrick. Patterson, Jeremy Lin. This is not much different from Tang Qian's impression.
Scrummers, the Lakers' side is naturally Dwight. Howard, Tang Qian looked at this No. 12, and said secretly in his heart:
Kick scrum?
This position, sooner or later, will be mine!
Tang Qian's eyes flashed with lightning-like fighting spirit.
At the beginning of the first quarter of the game, Tang Qian, who was the starter, set a small goal for himself in this game.
That's the one who locks up the opponent, Patrick. Patterson.
In this game, Kobe Bryant was full of firepower as soon as he came up, not only scored 8 points in an instant, but also prevented the opposite "future first quartile" from being extremely embarrassed, and directly shot 0 out of 3. I have to say that this season, the gap between Harden and Kobe's ability is still very obvious, and Kobe Bryant has no problem cleaning up his opponents.
Tzu Shiping also guarded against the counterpart Chandler. Parsons "doesn't want to die", yes, it means "doesn't want to die", because Ci Shiping's defense is extremely tough, and the latter only feels that his muscles are hurting all over his body under this kind of brutalist defensive style. If the small forward with speed flow can still rely on breaking through and tearing apart Ci Shiping's defense, after all, Ci Shiping is already old, and his legs and feet have long been less flexible than they were at their peak. It's a pity Chandler. Parsons, his breakthrough speed is not good, although the breakthrough ability is not bad, but it is a pity that his slower breakthrough pace is like child's play in front of "The Beast" Ci Shiping. Ci Shiping only needs a little defense, Chandler. Parsons is bound to be scattered, and it's not impossible to even dribble and walk.
Who's called Chandler. Parsons is only 230 pounds tall at 208CM? And Ci Shiping on the other side is much heavier than him, I don't know how much, which is almost the difference between heavyweight and ultralight in boxing. Coupled with the fact that Ci Shiping also has a one-handed steal, Parsons plays a breakthrough in front of him, which is simply an act of looking for death.
"Grab the rebound!" As soon as this shot was shot, Parsons knew that there was none, so he immediately shouted loudly.
Omir. Asik hit Howard a rebound, which was hit by Rockets power forward Patrick Brown. Patterson got it, and he shot in an instant to make this second attack.
But......
Syllable~
He had just shot his basketball when he was capped off by a big yellow palm.
PS: I'm going to pick up people at the airport later, so there's only this one tonight, and I'll add it tomorrow when I have time ~ Thank you ~
Thanks to the skeleton orc for the big reward~ Thank you~ (To be continued.) )
