If Tang Qian could hear Howard's words, he would definitely scoff at it, because this was obviously not good for himself, so he wanted to "borrow a knife to kill people", meaning. Lewd. Ichiban. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 For the rest of the second quarter, the two sides entered a stalemate, and the score was very dead.

At the end of the second quarter, at 48-50, the Spurs led by two points into the second half.

Back in the locker room, Popovich looked at Duncan and said, "Tim, is that kid really that fierce defensively?" So you almost gave up the low-post strong attack and turned to the low-post turn and shoot? Duncan took a sip of the sports drink, and then said: "It's really powerful, it's a lot stronger than the last fight, although the starting point is not high, but the growth rate is good." "You must know that Duncan is the No. 4 in NBA history, even if it is not arrogant, but pride is inevitable. So there are not too many young people who can be praised by him as "good" in the league.

Greg. Popovich nodded, and suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Then you are full of power, can you suppress him?" ”

Popovich knows Duncan very well, and after the age of 30, Duncan will basically collect his strength in the regular season and will not break out at full strength. The benefits of this are undoubted, it can better protect the body, prolong the career, and after entering the playoffs, you can have more energy to improve your form. Of course, the main thing is that the Spurs are as stable as dogs, and the conditions allow Duncan to be a little "lazy" in the regular season.

Duncan is now averaging only 17+ points per game and rebounds falling below 10+, but if you look at his average minutes per game, you will see that this set of stats is done in around 30 minutes. If you extend him to the normal 36+ minutes, then the average stats per game will become a terrifying close to 21+12+3+3 offensive and defensive stats.

And the most terrifying thing is that this season's 36+ minutes of data can reach 20+10+3+3 inside, and there is only one old Duncan. The rest are either off par in blocks and assists, or almost off the fence in scoring and rebounding. So Duncan really broke out and liberated himself, and there is no doubt that he is still the league's No. 1 power forward this season. It's just that for the playoffs, for the championship, and for the career, he chose to temporarily stay in the second line, and not steal the limelight with a group of young people in the regular season.

Well, even so, Tang Qian remembered that he still won the honor of a first and second defense this season, which can be called a monster.

At the age of 37, people who can still play a second defense for a while, looking at the history of the NBA, are all top-notch existences.

That's why Popovich asked.

"Of course, it's not a big problem." Duncan said this, his expression was neither ostentatious nor restrained, calm as a windless lake.

Lakers locker room, Mike. D'Antoni praised Tang Qian's performance in the second quarter, after all, he was able to suppress the opposing Duncan's shooting percentage below 4 percent, which was definitely good enough. You must know that Duncan's shooting rate this season is more than 5 percent, which has fallen by more than ten percentage points all of a sudden, and Tang Qian's defense has contributed greatly.

The data of 4 blocks, 2 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist in a single quarter is also comprehensive enough.

So D'Antoni is not stingy with praise at all.

Maybe, we can really win this game, we can really make the playoffs, but that's not necessarily.

Mike. D'Antoni thought so, but in the second half, the Spurs gave the Lakers a slap in the face.

In just five minutes, the Lakers were knocked down.

The Spurs went on a 16-0 run that booed fans at the Staples Center.

If you look closely, in fact, San Antonio doesn't have any exciting individual performances, that is, everyone scores 2~3 points, and then the score is instantly pulled away. Howard had already left D'Antoni desperate, and he thought "The Beast" could at least be used as a consistent scoring point, but tonight ...... The Spurs' overall defense on the inside made Howard and D'Antoni understand what teamwork and team defense are.

Take Tim. Duncan spread for the core of the defense, and then the rest of the team cooperated tacitly to let the Lakers score inside, no, it was difficult to shoot inside. Besides, Howard, you know, he doesn't have any sense of passing at all, and this season has intensified, as long as he holds the ball in the low post, it is three situations.

Either a shot, a foul (both fouled and a foul on your own), or a turnover.

The ball is in his hand, and it is very difficult to pass it out.

The Lakers were originally stormy and close to falling apart, but once they entered the headwind, the loose sand nature would be wildly amplified, and they would become an absolutely weak team in the NBA. Seeing that the score difference was stretched to 18 points in an instant, Mike. D'Antoni's heart cooled and cold in an instant.

Really...... I'm still thinking too much about it.

As long as the Spurs get a little serious, the gap between them and this Lakers team will be heaven and earth.

Now that there is no independent offensive point on the outside, and Howard, the biggest dependent, is also targeted, he feels that it will be difficult to win tonight.

Actually, when Steve. After Nash's injury, D'Antoni's tactical system, even if it basically collapsed, could still win, but Kobe Bryant forcibly hung it in one breath to prevent the Lakers from choking. But when the 24 also crashed down, what was left of the Lakers?

D'Antoni can't force anything into this team at all, so he can only watch every time and let the Lakers players decide their own fate.

It's definitely sad for the manager, but ...... What can he do now?

He was the head coach who took over halfway through, and he didn't even run in with the team for a full training camp, so he did his best to play like this. If Nash was still there, then D'Anthony could still figure out a little way, but Nash was gone, and it was only a Steve Brown. Blake, he's at a loss, and he can't do any magic.

Or, if you let him lead the team from the beginning and have a full pre-game training camp to inject his own tactical system into the Lakers, then there is still some way. But now, it's too late to say anything.

Qian donkey skills are poor and can't do anything, it's Mike. D'Antoni's truest mood portrayal at this moment.

"Mr. D'Antoni, let's change people, Howard can't do it, let me go." Just as D'Antoni's mood was fluctuating, a voice sounded beside him. D'Antoni turned his head and said a little dazed: "Hot? It's you? Can you change all that? ”

I thought I would get a silent or negative answer, but unexpectedly......

"Of course, sir, I'm not going to let the Lakers go out, and I'm not going to let you go out." Tang Qian said with a serious face, which made D'Antoni stunned for a few seconds before he continued: "You, why are you so confident? ”

"I'm not confident, sir." Tang Qian blurted out: "I just promised a lot of people, so I have to work hard and I have to win." ”

I don't know why, Mike. D'Antoni suddenly remembered a little story about Jordan.

It's about Jordan and former Bulls head coach Doug. Collins's, roughly as follows:

In the opening game of the 1986-1987 season, the Bulls played against the New York Knicks. Albeck was replaced by a young Doug. Collins, and this game is also Collins' first "opener" with the Bulls. So Collins was a little nervous after seeing New York overtake the score in the fourth quarter, probably because he was afraid of losing the first game of his new team. At this time, the head coach should have come to comfort the players, but he didn't want the Bulls No. 23 to suddenly walk to Collins' side and say a very famous sentence in the entire NBA league, saying: "Don't worry, coach, I won't let you lose the first game." ”

Then Jordan really swept the storm, swept the team's last 11 points, and took the game away with 50 points. Collins scored a valuable victory in his first game in charge of the Bulls.

This year Doug. Collins is only 35 years old, and Jordan is even younger, only 23 years old, but this conversation has become a classic topic of conversation in the NBA later. I don't know why, Mike. D'Antoni suddenly thought of this, he looked at the tall figure of the 29th, and gave the order to replace him that he later felt "very happy".

Howard went off the court, Tang Qian came on, and once again compressed the playing time of "Warcraft".

Howard looked very annoyed, but in front of Tang Qian, he could only look ugly, "dare to be angry but dare not speak".

As soon as Tang Qian came on the court, the Lakers got a change, mainly because No. 29's style of play was extremely selfless and did not stick to the ball at all, which made the opportunity to shoot from the outside several times when he landed. However, the Lakers' outside shooting percentage was not very good, and the Spurs did not defend several balls, but they were not able to project the basketball into the basket.

However, Tang Qian's appearance on the court strengthened the Lakers' frontcourt rebounding intensity, and without Duncan's presence, there was only one Thiago who averaged 6+ rebounds per game. Split, can't stop No. 29 at all. So through several frontcourt rebounds, although the Lakers didn't shoot high, they still used the number to shoot 2 three-pointers.

At 54-66, the Lakers finally broke the scoring drought in the quarter and narrowed the score gap by 6 points in one go.

The Spurs shot inside, but was strongly interfered with by Tang Qian, even if he didn't fan the hat, it also destroyed the original shooting rhythm of the shooter, and Gasol pressed Matt. Bonner protected the defensive rebound. Against Bonner, who is only 208CM tall, Gasol still has a big advantage. Not to mention that Bonner is averaging just 1.9 rebounds per game this season.

Bonner has been able to play peacefully in the NBA for so many years, of course, he has his ability and reason, but he has never been better at competing for rebounds, and it is not too biased to describe it as failing. So it's okay to let him rebound at the top of the top, and Gasolby, who averaged 8+ rebounds per game this season, will only be blown up. Moreover, this season, Gasol's rebounding ability seems to be declining, but in fact, he is completely dragged back by the tactical position, Tang Qian knows that even in a few years, he is a strong guarantee for averaging 11+ rebounds per game.

So defensive rebounding suppresses Matt. Bonner, that's a matter of course.

The Lakers attacked again, Gasol got the ball, shot inside, and the ball Thiago. Split defended hard and judged the jump well, so it really got in the way of the Spaniard's shots. The basketball slides out of the basket.

Okay, defend one!

Just as Parker was about to catch the ball and make a quick push, the rebound was ...... The Lakers' No. 29 was picked up.

Then pass the ball to Steve on the outside. Blake made a three-point shot.

When~Steve. Blake is now the Lakers' most accurate three-point shooter on the court, and he is also a career hero when he is scheduled to shoot three-pointers, but unfortunately this shot is still off target.

Shi.t！ None of this went in! Damn it!

Steve. Blake shook his hand in annoyance, seemingly depressed.

However, the rebound was once again picked up by the Lakers' No. 29, and in order to control the Lakers' scoring on the defensive end, Popovich let Thiago at the No. 5 position. Split went to play against Gasol. This was a very correct tactical tweak, because the No. 29's autonomous offensive ability is almost negligible, far less powerful than Gasol, so it is understandable to let Split, who is taller and better defensive, defend the Lakers' No. 4 position. But what Popovich didn't expect was that Gasol was successful in defending and rebounding......

Although offensive rebounding has been said before, it is about 4 times more difficult to grab than defensive rebounding, but Bonner is too weak, with an average of 3+ rebounds per game in his career, and this season is even more pitiful, not even 2+ left. Even if it's a quadruple, that's not the Lakers' opponent of No. 29. Just kidding, if the whole game is this kind of matchup, then Tang Qian is estimated to make the Spurs' rebounds be miserable.

So not to mention grabbing 100% of the offensive rebounds, at least more than 80% every time, this probability is simply bullying children.

So the rebound was picked up by Tang Qian again, and then thrown to Steve in the bottom corner. Blake.

This time, Blake did not disappoint the fans in the stadium, hitting a 3-pointer with his hand, and the Lakers scored another 3-pointer!

Seeing this, Popovich immediately called a timeout, and he was going to make roster changes while interrupting the Lakers' rising momentum.

57-66, all of a sudden the advantage of 18 points became 9 points, only half of which remained.

This made Popovich a little upset, and said, "What's going on? I know you're not very good at rebounding, but Matt, you can't defend every rebound, that's a bit of a stretch, right? Are you really completely inferior to that Oriental? "Matt. Bonner is also very aggrieved, although he usually can't rebound, he can still get a few defensive rebounds, so he won't be completely blown up like tonight.

"I'm sorry, sir, I ......"

"Forget it, Greg, don't be embarrassed for Matt, it's not that Matt didn't do his best, it's just that he really can't stop that Eastern center." Duncan sat on the bench and interjected: "After all, he is the second-best player on the rebounding list this season, and Matt is going to the opposite position, and the rebounding ball is indeed too bad." Popovich said, "How far do you think he can rebound?" Is it comparable to Howard? ”

Duncan thought for a moment and said, "No, I don't think Howard is his opponent for rebounding now. Although it looks like he has 0.1 more rebounds than the latter, he also has a lot more minutes than the latter. In this way, he is inferior to this Oriental. "What about Peak Howard? Did he get to that level? "Popovich's vision is vicious, but after all, he is a coach, and he still has to ask the intuitive feeling of the players on the court, which is more accurate and comprehensive.

"It's hard to say." Duncan said: "You have to know the average rebounds per game, it's not that the more time you play, the more you explode. When it's too little, of course, it will increase with the increase in playing time, but after a certain degree, it's not the competition. Most of the scalding is against the bench, and his ability is likely to be maximized. However......" Duncan paused before saying, "I think his average rebounding ability per game is on par with the peak Howard." ”

On par with the peak Howard? Duncan's words made everyone on the Spurs pay attention. Because with the further decline of the center, now an average of 12+ rebounds per game can dominate. But what about Howard, he averages 14+ per game, and unlike the "big brush" Lefou, his average rebounds per game are very few, and most of them are confrontational rebounds. This shows that Howard is an interior player with real rebounding dominance.

At least in this day and age, that's right.

Otherwise, do you think Love and Peak Howard are in the same basket at the same time, competing for rebounds, how many can he get?

Peak Howard is so explosive that the former's mother will not know him.

That's the power of a genuine 14+ rebound, far from being comparable to Lefou's first-class game.

And Duncan actually said that No. 29's rebounding ability is on par with the peak Howard? Isn't that a bit appalling?

"Tim, is that too much of an exaggeration? Is he more rebounding than you were in your prime? "Spurs Corey. Joseph was a little incredulous. Duncan smiled and replied, "During the regular season, I was definitely not as good as him, but in the playoffs, he is not on the same level as me and Howard. Of course, you have to know that I'm talking about the peak, not the present. ”

Duncan's words, everyone in the audience understands that some people will not let their form explode too quickly in the regular season, so as not to be unable to succeed in the playoffs. And the playoffs are the stage for the difficulty to escalate, and many people who grabbed rebounds well in the regular season will average rebounds per game when they reach the playoffs, and their performance is far worse than that of the regular season.

This is the so-called "playoff state", Duncan's peak is a monster who has maintained an average of 15+ rebounds per game all the way to the Finals! Tang Qian is not as good as him for the time being.

But that was Duncan many years ago, and now he doesn't have that peak state for a long time.

"So, are you still going to go up?" Popovich asked.

"Of course, I'd like to try him, if I can ......" Duncan suddenly said to Popovich, "I want the Spurs to sign him after the season." ”
