Chapter 1031 I Want to Recommend Someone (Plus More to ~)
In the end, Tang Qian scored 17 points, 28 blocks, 20 rebounds and 2 assists in this game, but AMVP still gave the Thunder Zero, who got 41 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 steals and 1 block in this game. Westbrook. This is not unusual, Tang Qian got it last year, and if he gets it again this year, it will be with Wei Shao, but unfortunately, this time AMVP and Tang Qian have no chance, so it is exclusive to Russell. Westbrook alone.
Of course, Wei Shao's data can definitely afford tonight's AMVP, but it's a pity that Tang Qian's side is here.
After Wei Shao lifted the first MVP trophy in his life, he hugged Tang Qian hard, after all, he knew very well in his heart that without the help of the No. 29 big man of the Lakers, he would never have won tonight's AMVP. At least that's what he thought.
Not to mention Wei Shao's playing style, his personality is still relatively upright, and there is not so much concealment.
And Tang Qian didn't know that from then on, Wei Shao's big brush road also began to plant seeds completely after today's game. Thunder Team 0's desire to brush data was seduced by the former...... Out of control.
Kerr humorously praised Wei Shao and Tang Qian after the game, claiming that if they were willing to come to the Golden State Warriors, he could give up the position of head coach to the two of them. This is a joke, of course, but Cole is in this style, preferring to "skin a little" or "skin a few times" when he speaks. The Warriors' players are basically used to it.
Moreover, as soon as they came, they brought the Warriors into the absolute king of the league, and the season slogan was directly changed to win the championship...... No Warriors player would fail to understand the gap. But everything still needs to be tested in the playoffs, Mark. In the era of Jackson's leadership, the regular season was actually passable, but as soon as it entered the playoffs, it immediately withered, and even became another team that I didn't know at all.
Everything depends on the results.
Of course, Cole is also very confident in his own abilities.
He came to coach, he went to the sea himself, not just to be an ordinary head coach, his goals, or ambitions, are more appropriate...... It's just to challenge the status of the best coach in NBA history.
At the very least, it should be among the presidents of the head coaching world.
Now it seems that Cole is a crazy rookie coach who doesn't know the height of the sky, but in the original plane, few people would think like this. This guy's locker room control and on-court tactical set-up are combined intimately, and this alone qualifies him as one of the strongest players in the NBA league.
Not to mention his creation of a pure shooter as the team's core system, which can be described as an unprecedented initiative.
From this point of view, Kerr has pride and arrogance in his heart, and it is not out of thin air, and the team is built by a pure shooter on the outside, which is unique in history. He broke certain conventions, and this is why he deserves to be remembered by history.
The days of rest passed quickly, and through these few days, the team's fatigue from some time ago was also relieved a lot, but after that, there were no such relaxed days. Until the playoffs are won or eliminated, it will be an increasingly tight time.
Bosh is still undergoing blood-thinning treatment, the return date is undecided, and Randle has also undergone surgery, if it weren't for the fact that Tang Qian persuaded the management to sign a Robert with a base salary of four years. Covington, then they will simply be in the No. 4 position, and they will be beaten and blown up every game. The appearance of Covington has greatly made up for this problem, at least defensively, he not only did not make the Lakers' overall defense weaker, but became stronger than before.
But the score is not as good as Bosh, and there is no way to do this, after all, it is only a base salary player, can you ask for more?
During this time, it was also the time for the winter vacation and the Spring Festival in China, but Tang Qian had no way to go back, which made Tang's mother always can't help but "complain" on the phone, claiming that she has seen Tang Qian more times on TV now than real people. Well, there's really nothing wrong with it, since Tang Qian joined the NBA, Tianchao Sports Station has become a TV channel in Tang Qian's house that is almost all-weather 24 hours a day. This time also happened to be the All-Star Weekend in the United States, and the advertising of AND1 was crazy, and it was not groundless for Tang Mu to say this.
comforted his mother on the phone, and Tang Qian began to prepare for the second half of the race.
But in the first game after the All-Star weekend, the Lakers lost inexplicably, and the opponent played an unexpected tactic in this game, similar to the "Tian Ji Horse Race", Brook, who had just returned from injury. Lopes was put on the bench to play the No. 4 position. In this way, when Covington was away, the Lakers' No. 4 position was completely blown out by Lopez. At this time, it was too late to replace Covington, because the opponent's hand was open, and secondly, Lopez's offensive end was quite powerful and solid. This is completely different from his rebounding end on the defensive end, except for the first year of his career, he basically averaged close to 20 points per game, which is enough to prove that he is very stable and strong on the offensive end.
Besides, he is not the current popular spatial interior or athletic interior on the offensive end, he is the real low-post offensive No. 5 position after Yao Ming. Solid fundamentals + 7-foot body, he wants to play back, at least Covington is very difficult to defend.
Lopez, who was off the bench in this game, actually scored 28 points, and his excellent play disrupted the Lakers' defense, and the Lakers lost the game 105-114. The four-game winning streak was ended, and the regular season record became 43-11. However, the Lakers defeated the Boston Celtics two days later. The Green Shirts traded away the last '08 championship core this season, and he went to Rondo of the Mavericks, which means obviously, a complete rebuild, and nothing remains.
In this way, Boston played completely disorganized, and was cut by the Lakers with 129 points, and finally scored 18 points, and the big score took the game. 44-11. But in the next game, the Lakers lost again, and they lost to the Utah Jazz at home in Plateau. 44-12, 1 consecutive defeat, and the ball that was finally won became a minus again.
2 days later, he lost to the Bucks by 2 points! 44-13, 2 straight defeats! From the end of All-Star Weekend to now, the Lakers have a 1-3 record in games. Tang Qian's latest MVP ranking also fell from the top three to the top six.
His stats may be good, but it's not enough.
Brush the data and can't win? So what's the point?
After losing to the Bucks, the entire Lakers team was retained, and Tang Qian needed to sort out and sort out the poor record during this period of time, which was always the reason for the loss. In the end, after the combined analysis of multiple data and combinations, Tang Qian and them also found some problems that they had not noticed before. For example, where the team concedes the most points is the time on the bench in the No. 4 position.
D'Antoni glanced at the problem, but did not come up with a solution or solution in his mind.
After all, the Lakers' No. 4 position is a position that has fallen very seriously, even if it is to make up for a Roport. Covington, that's only a temporary top, so that it won't be blown up by the field. It's a pity that no matter how strong Covington is, he is still a person, in fact, excluding last year's bullshit "34-minute rookie season", this season is his real league debut. So there are many things that he still needs to learn and improve his adaptation. For example, if you have this physical fitness, he has not been able to adjust the distribution well, and a game is at most 27~28 minutes. This shows that Covington's fitness is an imminent problem. In addition, his defensive mode has also been gradually studied and targeted, so when it comes to defense, he will be a lot more difficult to defend from the front.
If he can't break through this "rookie wall", then he will soon be beaten back to his original shape.
In this way, there is still a big hidden danger in the No. 4 position, and it must be strengthened a little before the free market closes completely, which may be better than nothing, but it is always better than watching it go unchecked. At this time, it was rumored that the Cavaliers had signed Carlos. Boozer news, a 1-year veteran with a base salary, has joined the Cleveland Cavaliers. When he joined, Boozer was a little sarcastic about his former club, the Los Angeles Lakers. He said he would make the team that looked down on him regret it in the playoffs.
Bonnie. Laughlin felt a little depressed, anyway, they took the initiative to give up Boozer's, and the latter's scoring ability, which has always been what the Lakers wanted. Besides, it's just a base salary, and if you sign it, you won't lose money, and giving it to the Cavaliers is equivalent to changing direction to improve their scoring ability.
So 48 hours before the free agency market was about to close, there was a change within the Lakers.
It gave Tang Qian a list of No. 4 spots in the free market, and wanted him to pick and choose as an alternative in the absence of Bosh and Randle. Unexpectedly, Tang Qian looked down along the way, and there was no one he liked. Also, the big fish has long been settled in the offseason, so if you look for it at this time, how can you find any good goods? It's all mediocre, and it can't be more mediocre. Signing in doesn't mean much, but it's a waste of the team's salary cap.
……
It didn't take long for the budget to come down and give a maximum of 200~3 million a year, no need to more, after all, it is a super hat team, and spending money generously does not mean that you don't see it at all. And with such a low price of 200~3 million, the slightly better ones think very highly of themselves and don't bother to pay attention to you. So it's really not like you can find it just if you want to find it.
Besides, when it comes to playing this role, there are really few who are still free No. 4 positions, and most of the players in this roster are European players, American players and NBDL players.
Tang Qian took the roster of No. 4 in the free market, and thought about it for a long time, thinking that it was just a waste of brain cells, but unexpectedly, he really thought of a person in his mind.
It's just that he still has this heart? This wasn't 10 years ago.
But when there is no one in the free market, and the funds are not abundant, this idea is actually not completely whimsical and not operational. Moreover, let alone 200~3 million, he estimates that the basic salary is also acceptable.
As long as he calls him out, Tang Qian thinks that this is a great thing.
Previously he didn't fit into this alliance, and now? What about the league at a time when the ball is starting to gain popularity?
As a super cheap contract, it can't be played, and no one will say anything.
Why don't you give him a chance? A chance to prove yourself at least once? This is ...... for the future It's also beneficial, isn't it?
Thinking of this, Tang Qian put down the useless No. 4 roster, opened the mobile phone address book, and then clicked towards a mobile phone number. This call, if you look closely, is not the Lakers deputy general manager Bonnie. And who is Laughlin?
After the phone was connected, Tang Qian took a slight breath, and then said: "Hello lady, regarding the team's No. 4 temporary reinforcement candidate, I have an idea and want to recommend someone. ”
