Chapter 983: Bulls Defend, Rebounding Breaks
"This is the Celestial Empire Sports Table, and the second game that will be brought today is the Christmas game, the Los Angeles Lakers vs. the Chicago Bulls." Meteor Shower said: "We watched the last game, James cut a quasi-triple-double, led the team to defeat his old club Miami Heat, this game is really good, Wade also played his own state, the whole game cut 31 + 5 + 5 data, not much worse than his former teammates." It's a pity that the Big Three of the Heat left 2 in the summer, and Wade can only do his best to resign himself to fate. Zhang Weiping nodded: "Yes, the Heat team was drained of 2 backbones at once, and they didn't make much reinforcement in the summer, so they basically slipped out of the ranks of the strong teams in the East." ”
"Coach Zhang, it is said that the Heat signed an American player who plays in our country, is that true?" Meteor Shower asked.
"Well, this man's name is Hassan. Whiteside, who was originally a second-round pick in 2010, played a total of 19 games in the NBA, and then was quickly cut by the Kings because of his poor performance and too unfit for the league. After playing more than a dozen games in the Development League, he finally came to play in my country's NBL League, he was in the Shudu Blue Whale Team, and he also helped the Blue Whale team win the NBL championship that year. Then he transferred to play for the Tongxi team and helped the team reach the NBL Finals again. ”
"And then he joined the Heat?"
"No, he signed a non-guaranteed training camp contract with the Grizzlies and then cut before the season began. Played just a few preseason games for the Grizzlies. "The Grizzlies signed him again one month later and cut him the next day, so he only showed his face a few times in the preseason throughout the 13-14 season. ”
"So how did he get to the Heat?"
"He continued to play in the Development League and was eventually advised by scouts from the Heat, who signed him almost at a base salary." Zhang Weiping said: "But you can see that the effect is still very poor, for example, he barely played in this game, only got 8 minutes of playing time, and got 0 points and 3 rebounds." I estimate that if this continues, what awaits him will be another notice of layoffs. "Zhang Weiping deduced from so many Heat games, Hassan. Whiteside has played a total of six games with the Heat since signing this season, almost all of them in garbage time, playing in the single digits, so if you don't open the "Eye of God", then you really can't guess the result. Like Jeremy Lin, how many people can suddenly hit out?
Basically, the possibility is very small, but it's not a coincidence, this guy, it's one.
"Ha crazy" is him.
In fact, he is much better than Jeremy Lin in the future, and a contract close to 100 million US dollars is full of problems.
And what Zhang Weiping, or the whole league, the whole world didn't expect was that he was about to break out in a few games.
A new "grassroots legend" is about to emerge brilliantly in the league.
"Okay, before the start of the game, let's take a look at the data of Tang Qian's first two appearances in the Christmas War and his wonderful performances." Meteor Shower said while looking at the big screen: "In the 12-13 season, Tang Qian scored 12 rebounds, 6 blocks and 1 assist, and last year's Christmas game exploded, hitting an amazing triple-double, 15 points, 28 rebounds, 14 blocks and 3 assists, which can be regarded as letting fans all over the United States know about his existence." Since Zhang Weiping talked with Tang Qian, he learned some inside information, and he was more "preferred" to this oriental center, and began to praise it more and more: "In fact, Tang Qian's ability has always been very good, especially the ability to rebound and block. Chamberlain and Bill. Russell, no one can crush him. And you see, at the beginning of this season, he clearly strengthened the offensive end, and it can be seen that he has not been relaxed and indulged all summer. I think this spirit is worth learning from all the young players in China now. ”
"The Bulls had a good roster tonight, especially on the inside, and they had Joaquin. Noah and Paul from the Lakers in the past. Gasol, I don't know what you think about this issue? Will it have any impact on the Lakers and Tang Qian? ”
"The impact is for sure." Zhang Weiping said: "These two people are a big reason why the Bulls can be in the top three in the East this season. Needless to say, Noah was originally the pinnacle, last year's best team and the best defensive team had him, if it weren't for the strong rise of my country's player Tang Qian, I estimate that he would be last season's one defense + DPOY, which is very possible, although there has been a decline this season, but it is still not to be underestimated in the east. As for Gasol, after he left D'Antoni's run-and-shoot small-ball system, the whole person I think has been reborn, and this season has played a strong data close to 19+12+3+2, even if this data is Gasol's peak, that's it, the slow pace of the Bulls and Thibodeau's system, far better than Mike. D'Antoni's system has to suit him now. ”
"But I'm still more optimistic about the Lakers' interior line." Zhang Weiping turned around: "The compatibility of Tang Qian + Bosh is far better than that of Tang Qian + Gasol. This is not to say that Gasol is not good, but simply from the compatibility of players and teams, Tang Qian and Bosh are more compatible in offense and defense, with Bosh as the spatial No. 4 position, Tang Qian can stay under the basket more, instead of the same as before, he needs to often replace Gasol to defend out. And Bosh's 3-pointer and long-range shooting, which Gasol doesn't have. ”
"Okay, now the two sides are starting the game, and the Bulls are lined up with Rose + Ray. Allen + Dunleavy + Gasol + Noah, the starting lineup of the Lakers is Tang Qian + Bosh + Ariza + Butler + Jeremy Lin. ”
Home of the Bulls, the famous Union Center Coliseum.
Tang Qian saw Noah who came over to jump the ball, and couldn't help but laugh: "What percentage of you think you are likely to get this ball?" ”
Noah wanted to squirt back, but he didn't know how strong the No. 29 scrum in front of him was, even if he grew taller, it would be useless. So he could only say hatefully: "You don't talk nonsense, Dongfang is hot, and it's not who is good at basketball when you play basketball?" You still have to watch the whole game, you know? ”
"I know, but that's just the beginning. You say that you don't agree that we are the strongest, then I can only wake you up with facts. ”
"Hmph, let's talk about it when it's done, Dongfang Iron." Noah and Tang Qian began to jump the ball, and the basketball was undoubtedly easily dialed by the latter.
"Remember, Noah, this is just the beginning." Tang Qiandao.
The Lakers played fast, but the Bulls' defense was also very fast, and the Lakers' first attack was suppressed.
Rose looked at Jeremy Lin in front of him, he made up his mind to prove and open the latter with the latter, his comeback this season, although the data is passable, but there is still a lack of an explosive data sheet, so that basketball fans all over the world know that he Hu Hansan, uh, no, he Windy City Roses, Rose is back.
And it's a strong comeback.
Jeremy Lin was entangled by Ross, he wanted to beat Ross hard, in fact, the odds of winning were not great, Rose's physical fitness and confrontation were far better than Jeremy Lin's, although Jeremy Lin's physical fitness was already good, but it also depended on who he was compared with. Besides, I don't know how to do it, Rose's recovery this season is obviously better than Tang Qian's impression, not a little bit. Tang Qian's impression is that his comeback this season is actually a failure, or it is not a success. Poor shooting percentage without improvement, the team's highest number of shots, but the score is only the third on the team, including his strongest killing ability, has also dropped sharply. Average free throws per game, only 3+ remaining. And at his peak, this number was almost 6~7. Directly less than half.
But in this time and space, his performance is obviously better than the original time and space, so far he has averaged 23 points per game, assists or something, and he is still passable, although the long-range shooting is still bad, but this is already a very successful injury comeback.
But so what?
Although Tang Qian felt a little surprised by this situation, however, that was all.
Because at the moment, his defense is close to Dacheng, and he may not have reached the peak and strongest state, but it is also stronger than last season. This season, his tonnage disadvantage is basically gone, and his ability to fight has improved linearly, don't you say what Ross is. Even Wade James is estimated to be a little more deflated.
To put it mildly, Tang Qian is a natural strangulation and natural restraint for all breakthrough players.
It doesn't matter who the person is.
There is no basket to break through the scoring point, which is to send food to Tang Qian.
Jeremy Lin almost missed the ball, he was a little uncomfortable under Rose's defense, and his pace and speed were restrained, and this is what he is most proud of surviving in the court. You can only pass the ball out and attack in other ways.
But if this situation continues, then it will be difficult for the Lakers to play "seven seconds or less", and the No. 1 position is an indispensable key to the operation of this system.
Will there be the same awkward situation the last time we played against the Clippers?
No, no, Tang Qian had already thought of a way to break the enemy.
Because Derek. Rose's defense has a big drawback, as long as it is aimed at the drug.
He and Chris. Paul's flawless defense, the difference in distance, is the same as Firefly and Haoyue.
Do you think this is an exaggeration? In fact, the gap may be a little bigger.
At least for Paul, this one wouldn't have worked so wonderfully.
Lakers Butler misses a shot, the Bulls' overall defense is really not covered, don't look at the regular season they occasionally paddle well, it seems that the defense is not as good as last season. But this is all an illusion, Tang Qian remembers very clearly that once he entered the playoffs, the Bulls' defense immediately improved several notches, and it was directly stronger than last year!
If you look at the average points they have conceded per game in the playoffs, you'll see it all.
So this Bulls, they just selectively "retracted" in the regular season, not that the defense declined.
Besides, the Bulls' Thibodeau, who has built a defensive system, has never disappointed.
In this game, he also saved the meaning of giving D'Antoni a little good-looking.
As far as your strongest offense? There's nothing I can't hold down on here, you know? D'Antoni!
The Bulls had a good start, obviously not good at three-point shooting, but they shot the Lakers 3 angrily, and poured a 9-0 on the Lakers' side at the beginning. D'Antoni shouted a timeout a little angrily, he didn't want to lose this game to Thibodeau, so he had a rare temper, took the tactical board and raised his voice and said: "Go Z, don't hesitate, don't hesitate!" Did you hear it all? Don't hesitate! If you have the chance, attack! Just give me a shot!! ”
Seeing that the Lakers players all nodded, D'Antoni turned his head in the direction of the Lakers' No. 29 and said, "Hot, the rebounding ball depends on you, the Bulls' defense...... After all, it's still passable, so tonight, our shooting percentage will definitely drop a lot, like this, there will definitely be more rebounds, whether it's offensive rebounds or defensive rebounds, you put a little more energy, okay? ”
"Yes, sir." Tang Qian said: "Then I'll just brush up more rebounds, anyway, with me, the rebounds of the Los Angeles Lakers will definitely not lose to the opponent, absolutely not." So, let's be decisive and don't have any projection pressure. ”
"Because I'm standing under the basket, Tyrant Don, standing on the inside."
is obviously a very big-tailed wolf, but the whole team of the Lakers nodded for it, and their spirits were secretly shocked.
This is Tang Qian's magic.
To tell a joke that is not a joke, he is the guarantee of rebounding and the spokesperson of the league's rebounding.
Leading in 10-digit rebounds per game, this has not been seen for I don't know how many years.
At the peak of Rodman's then, it was not up to this level.
Since last season, Tang Qian has gradually broken away from the ranks of super rebounders, and he is moving towards the realm of the god of rebounding.
So his words are not just big words to improve the morale of the team, he has this strength, so it is inexplicably convincing.
Just like Jordan Kobe Bryant back then, their names are the team's final scoring guarantee and victory guarantee.
Re-up, the Lakers' offense has become a lot more decisive, but the feeling is still affected, D'Antoni doesn't want to admit it, but he has to admit that the Chicago Bulls team in the hands of Thibodeau, they have always been a strong defensive team in the league, even if the first person in the league, known as the "chosen son" James, but whenever they play them in the playoffs, the shooting rate has dropped to a terrible level. So fighting defensively, Thibodeau feels to himself that he is not going to be afraid of anyone.
is anyone in history.
Bosh can help on the rebounding end is really limited, defensive rebounding is okay, offensive rebounding, although he can also come up with a few magic strokes at critical moments, but that is not a routine operation. Under normal circumstances, Bosh rebounds in the frontcourt, and there is no need to expect and count on them too much.
He is not as old as he was in Toronto now, so fighting so hard is not his specialty.
But, so what?
Tang Qian asked the team to sign Bosh at the beginning, but it wasn't for him to do this.
Inside rebounding, I don't need anyone to help, I can do it alone.
Thinking of this, Tang Qian squeezed in.
