Chapter 1430 60 undefeated, double battle cosmic bravery
At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers had established an 18-point lead, and although Wei Shao's side was still holding on, he had played for too long tonight, and under this kind of big bag play, his physical fitness would drop sharply if he held up to the back. He has been promoted to the top scorer this season, and is currently the number one scorer in the season. But again, once the physical strength is not enough, then even Jordan has to kneel a lot. The miracle performance of spiritual transcendence, Qiao Shen is bound to have many others, but not every game can be done.
And you can also clearly see that after Wei Shao's physical fitness is not enough, it is no longer so difficult to defend him, and his speed and explosiveness, including confrontation, are visibly declining. Rondo alone can defend it better now. Even if Wei Shao is angry now, this question is useless. He has reached the point of physical shortage, and the further he plays, the more unstable he becomes.
No, his shooting percentage was pretty good in front, but after the fourth quarter, he hit 6 irons in a row and directly pulled the shooting percentage down. The fans who saw Wei Shao were also a little sad. After Tang's potential score lead reached 25 points, he went down, and he has got a quasi-quadruple-double so far in this game, with 39 points, 28 rebounds, 7 blocks, 8 assists, plus a shooting percentage of more than 6 to 5, which easily helped the Lakers have the last laugh. Although the Thunder team has been resisting, the gap in strength is still too big, and the ace core duel Wei Shao did not win, so losing is inevitable.
Amid the cheers of the Staples Center, the Lakers eventually won the game with a score of 108-90, 18 points.
Tang Qian, who had 39 points, 28 rebounds, 7 blocks and 8 assists, became the undisputed best player of the game tonight, and the rest of the statistics are as follows, Butler only needed 13 shots tonight to score 20 points, and only 2 free throws, 9 of 13 shots, so from this point of view, he is actually the Lakers' highest shooting percentage tonight. He shot 692 from the field. 203311 data were obtained. Since picking up the projection skill pack, he has started to play efficiently with the Lakers, because he began to slowly find that in the Purple and Gold, he doesn't need too many breakthroughs and singles at all, and if he wants to be efficient, just do a good job of shooting. Recently, he has begun to feel more and more of this pattern, and he has become more and more efficient.
In this way, there are few shots and balls occupied, and the efficiency is high, and the outside world also praises it, so why not?
The defense can also continue to work and not be loose because of too much investment on the offensive end.
The rest were Randle, Nick Young, and Lance Stephenson, who scored double-doubles.
What about the Thunder? Except for Wei Shao getting another triple-double, after 34101321 the data, it was the final garbage time, Kante was very smart, cutting 18 points in a row, but it was already meaningless. The only other player to score in a double was Victor Oladipo. At the beginning of the middle and late stages of the last quarter of the Thunder team, because of Wei Shao's weakness, the whole system played a mess, and in just over six minutes, they had as many as 10 turnovers. Only 18 points were lost.
In this era, there is only one team with a score of less than three digits, and the rest are all over 100, more than 110, all have 5~6, and more than 115 have 2 teams. Nenglao limits opponents' scoring to less than 100 points, except for the Los Angeles Lakers, there are few left. It adds up to three, the Lakers, Spurs, Jazz, the Jazz seem to be a little awake this year, and it is possible to see this momentum enter the upper zone. They are all strong teams in the West. The Lakers are the most terrifying, they are the only team to keep their opponents' scores under 90 points. The average is about 88~89 points per game.
Don't look at this statistic, it seems to be inferior to the Pistons back then, but you have to look at the difference between the number of rounds in this era and the number of rounds in that era of the Pistons. I don't know how much it's fast. Coupled with the popularity of three-point shooting, the average points per game soared, which is inevitable. For example, in those days there were only 2 teams that could play an average of 100 per game, and now what? There is only one team that can't average 100 points per game. The tempo, think for yourself, how much faster.
And that year, the Pistons only scored 901 points in the regular season and conceded 84 points, and the goal difference was not so exaggerated. What about the Lakers? The current average of about 105 points per game is near the middle of the league, which is not bad for a team like them, but it is an excellent average points per game. How much is the average per game?
It's 16~17 points, and if you work harder, it's really not impossible, and finally reach an average of 20 points per game.
In that case, it would be terrible. Basically, the season is all "garbage time".
The match came to an end in Bill McDonald's "60-game winning streak".
Indeed, counting last year's 45-game winning streak, it has been 15 consecutive wins so far this season, which is exactly no more and no less, and 60 games unbeaten. This record is very strong, but in the history of North American sports, there is still a stronger one, so I will not mention this for the time being. Anyway, the 60-game unbeaten streak has put the Lakers more and more on the cusp.
More and more teams want to beat them to prove themselves, or to make a wave of presence.
Just when people were talking about how long the Lakers could hold on to this record, the next game, back-to-back, made many people start to look at the Lakers. Because the opponent of this back-to-back match is...... Cosmic Warriors, Golden State Warriors.
And, again, away. This will bring some trouble to the physical test of the Lakers.
The Warriors currently have a 12-2 record, second in the West and second in the league, behind the Los Angeles Lakers. It can be seen that after the run-in and adjustment at the beginning of the season, this four-star team has begun to gradually get on the right track. These games are all victories in the way of massacre. For example, in the previous game, it was close to 40 points to slaughter the Pacers, 30 points to destroy the Bucks, and 25 points to destroy the Celtics. Interestingly, their scores in these games have been on the rise.
125 to 129 to 135 points, slowly played a chemical reaction of the four-star warriors, began to truly show the power of "cosmic bravery". So before this game, the Warriors made up their minds to give the Lakers a good look. Avenge the revenge of a few weeks ago.
The scary thing is that the Lakers' two games against the Warriors are still back-to-back.
After back-to-back games against the Warriors today, return to Staples Center two days later to continue playing against the Warriors.
This intensity and topicality are very interesting, and the alliance is also very cooperative, and began to build a lot of momentum to promote these two highlights.
"I know the Lakers are strong and they're unbeaten at the moment, but I want to say, okay, they can stop and rest."
"We're not the same as we were at the beginning of the season, and hopefully the Lakers won't be vulnerable."
'We're ready to go two games in a row, and those two games are more meaningful for us than the previous 10 or so.'
"Lake Destroyer? Breaking an opponent's 60-game unbeaten streak? Why not? ”
From the players to the head coach, it seems that the Warriors came to play 2 games in a row with the Lakers this time, and they came to collect the heads. It's the one who came to take revenge. I didn't have any other ideas at all. The better they got together, they all felt like they could beat any team in the league. Even the Lakers.
Tang Qian naturally wanted to speak when he heard this, and said
Let's wait until you win, we can be very good at winning at Oracle Stadium.
Durant? He's very strong, he's an excellent second-in-command, I think he has really strengthened the Warriors to a great extent, and there's nothing wrong with that.
We won't be afraid, what we have to do is to continue the winning streak, they have nothing to fear, the number one in the league now is us, not the Warriors.
Butler also learned Tang Qian's tone, and said with a strong force, I remember that they haven't beaten us since March this year.
It seems that after staying in the strong team for a long time, the mentality is also different, and now in Butler's mind, there is also a feeling that our goal every season is only to win the championship. That's all. The rest doesn't make much sense. This kind of championship team is also very much in line with Butler's personal requirements. He didn't want to stay on a soy sauce team. No matter how much money you give him, he won't do it.
Well, well, unless the price can go against the sky, that's pretty much it. However, NBA contracts have limits, so it's hard to say. The Lakers also understand the market very well, and saw that Butler signed a relatively long contract, although both parties were willing at the time, Butler was also unclear about the future, so he was eager for a stable long-term contract. Belonging is a willingness to fight and a willingness to suffer. But in the end, it's still the era of contract explosions, so the Lakers cited the compensation that the Bulls gave Pippen back then, first buying Butler a multi-million dollar car, and then helping to buy a multi-million dollar insurance. And made a promise that when he waited for the next contract, he would definitely give Butler a maximum salary.
This made Butler mentally feel a lot more comfortable, and this was all done by the Lakers on their own initiative, in this regard, the Lakers really did a good job, worthy of being a purple and gold giant, one of the teams with the most human feelings. Of course, the team also has its own considerations, first of all, these compensation is not high, adding up to five or six million, compared with the current casual top salary, it is a drop in the bucket, so the management bought a "no pimple" for millions, and it is not a loss. Because the Lakers are now one of the seeded teams, and they are also running for the championship this year, it is a big thing to stabilize the core mentality. It's impossible not to know this point that the Bass family has run the Los Angeles Lakers for so long. The second is Butler's age. Butler was born in September 1989, very close to the "post-90s". He was only 30 years old after the contract was executed. Under normal circumstances, it is still a peak period. There is no problem at all with another top salary. The Lakers are not at a loss. Besides, it's just a verbal agreement, if anything really happens, who can say what will happen in a few years? Anyway, now let's stabilize the mentality of the second master.
This is where the cleverness of the Lakers management lies.
However, they are not without a stun, which will be discussed later.
Nick Young also said, How do I remember that last time we won?
Anyway, these two teams, after several years of playoff games, various contradictions are entangled in events, and they can already be said to be the old enemies of the Western Conference. And anyone with a discerning eye knows that in the next few years, it is estimated that these two teams will fight wildly in the West Division. In that case, it's no wonder that there is no fire on either side.
No one can lose to the Lakers (Warriors), which is one of the internal slogans of these two teams right now.
It sounds a little funny, a little angry, but now the two teams just treat each other as imaginary enemies. Even if the Eastern teams don't like to hear it, the current Lakers and Warriors haven't thought much about the Eastern team at all. Subconsciously feel that after the Western Finals, it will be the champion.
Defy? In the 16-17 season, I really didn't accept it, and that's it.
Tang sneaked out and was about to go to the airport, Taylor kissed him and said, "Kill the scumbag, the Lakers are the strongest, the Lakers are the champion!" ”
I, I'm dizzy, this chick has learned a set of jokes on the Internet, but there is no need for Taylor to say this, Tang Qian will do the same. The Warriors, this season, the regular season is a team that must be dealt with well, and it is necessary to find out the opponent's basic style of play, adaptation, and general impromptu moves. In the playoffs, the probability of the two teams meeting is definitely not small.
If it's true, it's the 3rd year in a row that the Warriors have met in the West, and it's not an exaggeration to say that the Western rivals of this era are the old enemies of the West.
Why the Western Final? As far as the Warriors' lineup is concerned, Tang Qian doesn't know where they will lose, and if they run in, it should not be a problem to decide in the West. In that case, how to beat this Warriors team is a big question. Don't look at the last game the Lakers won, then in fact, think about it, there are a lot of accidents. First of all, the Warriors did not play an upgraded version of the "Five Little Lineup" or the "Five Little Deaths". Therefore, it is not considered to have faced it with all its might. Moreover, the last time I fought with the Warriors to the end, I decided the winner.
relied on Cole's "sassy operation", otherwise, it is really uncertain.
Coupled with the fact that it was still the Warriors who had just started to play official games, the Lakers took advantage of the team and the run-in. The situation may change a little bit in this game, and the Warriors have been much better than before after a month of running-in, not to mention the heyday. This is something that everyone on the Lakers can know by watching clips of the Warriors' recent games.
So how to fight, how to win, the Lakers don't have a bottom in their hearts.
The four stars are shining, and they are all four stars at their peak, this is too disgusting, plus the substitute at the forefront of the same alliance, it is not false to say that the universe is brave. But in any case, the Lakers are not a weak team, and Tang Qian doesn't think that the Warriors will beat his side. Six of one and half a dozen of the other? It's going to depend on tonight's game.
After Tang Qian and the Lakers team all converged, they boarded the charter plane to Oakland.
ps Thank you for the great honor of silence, the leader of the mid-term alliance of China, the great brucedan, why not a big reward~
Thank you for your support~
