In Game 4 of the 2014 Western Conference Finals, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the San Antonio Spurs by six points to avoid their own fate. 89-83 in the whole game, the ball data is quite "uneven". Kobe Bryant scored 44 points, not to mention, Tang Qian also scored 23 points, and most of them came from the last 5 minutes of the third quarter. In the end, the Lakers scored 10 points, and Tang Qian scored 7 points alone. Without exception, all of them are ...... Singles with the ball. He scored 23 points, 20 rebounds and 7 blocks, and his shooting percentage finally exceeded 50%. This is another kind of deception of the data, because this is the final hit rate of the whole game, that is, the N strikes in front of Tang Qian, which are all calculated. If you just look at the back, you will find that his shooting percentage, will be quite amazing.

Kobe Bryant and Tang Qian combined for 67 points, compared to the team's 89 points, which means that the rest of the players, combined, only scored 22 points. It only accounts for 24.7% of the total score.

However, the victory of only one game did not attract too much attention from the media and the grass on the wall, and the overall public opinion was still completely biased in favor of the San Antonio Spurs. After all, if the 3-0 situation wants to turn around, no matter how you look at it, it's a nonsense thing. So compared to this, more space and coverage in the American media are focused on the Eastern Conference Finals. Over there, the Heat and Pacers are playing harder, and people claim that there is finally a series to watch in the East.

However, in fact, the overall trend of the series has also come out, and the Heat still clearly have the upper hand.

So some experts and reporters began to foreshadow and advocate the Heat Spurs' "back-to-back Finals" in advance.

It felt like the Lakers and the Pacers were eliminated.

Only the local media in Los Angeles still said a few beautiful words "weakly", but there was no momentum.

In the training hall, only Kobe Bryant and Tang Qian were extremely engaged in training, even more involved than before, such a feeling...... At least for now, it seems that there is a very "show" and a "ridiculous" component. It's all lost, why are you fighting so hard? What are you doing with an expression that seems to be reversed and promoted?

If you want to improve morale, you haven't said it these days, but the persuasiveness is still very poor.

At least until the Lakers win another game, few people can listen to the simple "chicken blood".

Including Nash and Gasol, they are also a little "dull", and the process of training is "twilight". It seems that the NBA's nearly 70-year history has been locked in their thinking. Comeback? It's something I've never thought about.

Patronized "back injury", "depression" and "sadness in advance".

Don't blame the rest of the Lakers like this, because on the whole, they are probably "normal" in people's eyes. Kobe Bryant and Tang Qian are "neurotic" and "abnormal". But well...... Aren't the vast majority of people who want to create miracles and can create miracles "neurotic" and "abnormal"?

It is difficult for "normal people" to work miracles because they bow to reality too quickly, and they succumb to the so-called "common sense" and "common sense". The previous Tang Qian may also be this kind of ordinary person. If, in the past few years, so many things have not happened, and there has not been such a "strange".

After everyone left, Kobe and Tang Qian were still practicing, and after practicing alone for about ten minutes, No. 24 took the lead and said, "Hot, are you serious?" Do you really think that we can win? Can you turn the tables? Tang Qianyan also stopped the training action in his hand when he heard this, and said with a smile: "What? Dignified black mamba, have you retreated? ”

I don't know when Tang Qian and Kobe Bryant's mode of getting along has added a "new model", that is, "daily mutual hatred" and "daily provocation". It's not deliberate, everything is natural.

"Of course." Kobe Bryant said: "I think it's over, can the team still have 0.000001% hope? ”

Kobe Bryant's sentence also has a meaning, which is to satirize the latest ESPN turnaround probability, and the comeback probability of this group of "senior keyboard warriors" to the Lakers is exactly 0.000001%.

"That's fine." After Tang Qian threw a ball, he said: "If I think it's over, wouldn't the 0.000001% probability of a reversal be gone?" "How dare you say that?" Bryant also threw a ball, saying, "But let's be practical." Can I be the main attack point on the outside, the main attack point of the team, the strong point of the outside to block the gate, the attack on the inside and the second scoring point of the team? If Paul can regroup, it's okay, well, to deal with this situation, this Spurs team, it is estimated that it is still a little worse. After Kobe Bryant finished speaking, Tang Qian answered in the next second: "I'll just come, it's not a big problem." ”

Ha？ Kobe Bryant was stunned, although it was indeed Tang Qian who played well in the fourth quarter of the last game, but ...... That's not the norm. Do you really think that the Lakers' No. 29 can "play extraordinarily" every game as the main point of attack on the inside?

Seeing Kobe's expression, Tang Qian knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Bryant, don't you believe me?" In that case, I also let out the words. Tang Qian stopped shooting the ball and said: "I can be the main offensive point of the inside, the main offensive point of the team, and the defensive core of the whole team." When Kobe Bryant heard this, he felt a little "funny" and said: "The main point of attack? Or is it the main point of the strong team? You wouldn't know what that meant, would you? ”

"I know." Tang Qian said: "That's what I mean. ”

Kobe Bryant was actually a little surprised, because this position has always been his, and his own state this season, the Oriental opposite is the most clear, so ......

"You really want to ...... Can you do Shaq? "Kobe Bryant is in dire need of a turnaround and support now, so he doesn't care much about these things at the moment. He just needs to know if the eastern teammates on the opposite side are making fun of himself and joking.

"Hmm. Not false. Tang Qian nodded and said, "Didn't I just say it in the last game?" ”

"What Peak O'Neill can do, I can do, and what Peak O'Neill can't do, I can also do."

Kobe Bryant paid special attention to the word "peak", after all, who doesn't know that O'Neal has been occupying a large number of votes and a large number of subjective opinions in the selection of historical lows because of the super destructive power of the peak. As the person who knows this matter best besides O'Neal himself, he understands very clearly what "peak O'Neill" means.

Although I am not reconciled, I still have to say it.

In those 3 years, he couldn't grab the FMVP, because the dominance of this "big shark" was too strong. Jordan, those years were also difficult. And to play a team that is not strong inside, this point is a nuclear weapon, and the shooting rate of 6 percent goes up, there is no reason to abandon it. Besides, that year, he was far from his strongest state, and he couldn't fight.

But now someone told him, "What Peak O'Neill can do, he can do, and what Peak O'Neill can't do, he can do too"?

Doesn't this sound a bit "nonsensical"? A bit of a "big deal"?

If it weren't for the fact that this person was Tang Qian, Kobe Bryant would probably have a cold face.

"I hope you do what you say." After Kobe Bryant finished speaking, he paused and added: "At least don't let us fall outside the door of the finals like this, it's too whimsy." ”

"Don't worry." Tang Qian said: "My state has reached the extreme, just waiting for the next game to start." ”

……

On May 29, U.S. time, the Los Angeles Lakers vs San Antonio Spurs, the Western Conference Finals, Game 5, moved to the Lakers' Staples Center. It seems that the Staples Center is full of excitement and tension, and although no one says much, every fan understands why it feels this way.

They can't afford to lose.

Half of their feet were dangling from the cliff.

In this case, if you are not nervous, then there will be ghosts.

In China, many people have been waiting in front of TV and computers early, waiting for the start of this critical battle.

Spurs fans, on the whole, are still relatively relaxed, and after all, the historical probability and the big score lead are their confidence. Lakers fans are all kinds of "impetuous", who want to know the result of this game quickly, but also don't want to start the game so quickly, lest the team be eliminated today.

After the warm-up between the two sides, the Spurs fielded their starting lineup: Duncan + Split + Danny. Green + Kewai. Leonard + Tony. Parker. On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant + Nash + Gasol + Tang Qian + Jordi. Meeks.

As soon as the game started, the Spurs continued to focus on Parker, allowing him to infinitely attack the Lakers' No. 1 position, that is, the 40-year-old Steve. Nash. This question has been making Mike. D'Antoni has a headache because Nash is the initiator of his system, and without Nash, his impact on the Lakers has regressed to "single digits" almost all of a sudden. However, after all, this is not the Nash of 10 years ago, within his limited physical strength, he can only take care of one head, the defensive end, which is tantamount to complete scum.

This is actually one of the reasons why Nash decided to end his contract early and quit the league after playing this season.

His physical fitness and body have really reached a critical point, and every time he is "targeted" by the team with a strong point in the No. 1 position, his mood is actually very bad and very uncomfortable. He wasn't very good defensively before, but at least he was league average. Right now...... It's a no-brainer. The No. 1 position, which has a little ability, can score with high efficiency and high shooting percentage under his defense.

This is a bit cruel for a person who was once a quasi-supergiant at the pinnacle, no matter how you look at it.

So soon Nash was swapped for Jordan. Famar does the No. 1 position.

Now, more than half a quarter has passed, and the Spurs are 19-10, leading the Los Angeles Lakers by nine points.

Gasol missed back-to-back inside shots, which allowed the Spurs to seize the opportunity to extend the score. Gasol is obviously not the kind of player with a particularly strong willpower, so after falling behind 0-3 in the big score, his form and morale plummeted, and he became much weaker than in the regular season. And the more the Lakers can't open the inside, the Spurs' defense will concentrate on the Lakers' outside, so that Kobe Bryant can't even get a one-on-one shot.

This is also a big reason why the Lakers started the game by 9 points.

D'Antoni called a timeout, but he couldn't do anything more, apparently, without Steve. After Nash, after the lack of a reliable No. 1 spot, D'Antoni's control of the Lakers returned to the pre-season and mid-season. It's simply that the situation of the furnishings is greater than the actual situation. Every time there is a pause, there is no good way to deal with it.

At this time, Tang Qian stood up and said without hesitation: "Mike. Mr. D'Antoni, in a moment, let me focus on the inside. ”

As soon as these words came out, some people actually looked at Paul more. Gasol glanced at him, because Gasol has always been concerned about his interior main offensive rights. This is also a key to the constant friction between him and the Lakers in recent years. There was Howard last season, so forget it, after all, he was famous, and he was recognized as the "No. 1 center in the league" at that time, so he put up with it. But as soon as Howard left, Gasol publicly asked for the Lakers' main offensive rights inside, and there was no problem at the time. With Kobe's support, it's almost a matter of course.

But now, some changes have to be made.

At least this series, there are some changes to be made.

Otherwise, it will be according to the original "rules", and most of the Lakers will kneel this time.

Even if you get rid of these external factors such as falling behind by big scores and low morale, just when Gasol is healthy, he has never faced the Spurs' No. 21 and taken advantage. The regular season was okay, the Spurs players liked to keep a hand, pretend to be dead or lazy, but in the playoffs, Gasol's matchup data was suddenly suppressed. Moreover, the Spanish tower has been strong until the age of 36 in the regular season, and can fight against the fierce playoffs...... There was a big decline in competitive form early on, and since the beginning of the 10-11 season, it has never recovered to the peak, especially at the end of scoring and tackling, and the diving is serious. 14+ became his limit. Not to mention the massive drop in shooting percentage, which has never reached the level of career average playoff shooting percentage again.

The average score per game is 14+, which is actually a little worse for a team's interior main attacker.

At least for the Lakers at the moment, it's not enough.

It needs more, more, more.

Therefore, Tang Qian can't care about so much at the moment, if he doesn't "grab the class and seize power", the series is probably going to end.

As for the mood on Gasol's side, let's talk about it after catching up with the big score and turning the series around.

"Hot, you ......" D'Antoni wanted to subconsciously refuse when he heard this, he has also been the head coach of the Lakers for so long, and he has a deep "impression" or "preconception" about the Lakers' No. 29 offense. With Nash there, attacking without the ball is still very good, and it can be used as a more stable output for points. But you want him to be the main point of attack for this kind of inside ball? In Mike. D'Antoni seems to be a bit "whimsical".

You said the last fourth quarter? ~Playing in the NBA, who hasn't eaten "dumplings" a few times.

Looking at the whole series, is it okay for Tang Qian to be suppressed by Duncan on the defensive end?

At this time, let him "be a hero", wouldn't that hurt the team?

But at this moment, the No. 24 of the Lakers stood up and said: "Mr. D'Antoni, let him try, if it doesn't work, he won't talk about it." ”

"But Bryant, isn't that a little too ......" Before D'Antoni could finish speaking, Bryant broke off and asked:

"If you don't take any more risks, you'll lose."

"And......" Kobe Bryant said as he looked in the direction of the Spurs, "I believe him." ”

D'Antoni was stunned, and his voice didn't come out again.
