Chapter 267: The Second Formation of the Best Defensive Team (Chapter Plus~)
The two young men of the Russian city slaughtered the Lakers, and there is only the light of thunder tonight! -- ESPN's official website reads. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The two stars shined, Durant scored 25 points, Westbrook scored 27 points, and the Thunder beat the Lakers in their first game. βThe Oklahoma Journal.
Fiasco! Black Mamba can't save the Lakers! Series score 0-1! -- Los Angeles Times.
Exhausted Angelenos. -- Lakers Nation.
T.N.T Columnist Martin Brown. Du wrote that the Lakers did not seem to have come out of the haze of the previous round, and could have easily solved the opponent's first round, but after being dragged into a tie-break, physical problems suddenly became prominent. The Thunder team waited for work, and a big victory was a reasonable thing. But Lakers head coach Mike . Brown doesn't seem to have learned a long lesson, obviously a fatigue teacher, but all five starters have played more than 30 minutes. Looking at the opposite Thunder, who rested for 9 days, Durant played only 29 minutes, Westbrook played even less, only 27 minutes, Ibaka 20 minutes, Sofrosa 26 minutes, Perkins 29 minutes. The starting 5 players all played less than 30 minutes, and after the whole team played, there was not a single player who played 30+ minutes, so such a physical distribution is absolutely reasonable. It is foreseeable that in the next game, the Thunder team will still be alive and well, and they will not be tired at all.
Tang Qian used a bronze agility card in this game, and got 5 blocks, 8 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists. In this case, no matter how good the data is, it loses the value of appreciation.
It was at this time that Abby. Hornacek's exclusive interview was released, and people know a little more about the Lakers' No. 29. The video of the day was viewed more than 500,000 times, and in the basketball category, it was second only to the "fight and brawl" video on the 12th. Of course, this is also thanks to the blessing of "fighting and fighting", otherwise people would not be so interested in Tang Qian.
"This exclusive interview video is good, it's very inspirational, I didn't expect to be so tall, but I only got up in high school, do I also have this opportunity?"
"dude~ It's not me who hits you, ordinary people won't grow so tall, if you can do this, it means that you are not destined to be ordinary by nature. Look at Jordan, Rodman, etc., they are all types of people who suddenly grow taller, and then they all successfully counterattacked their own without exception. Egg Life! β
"Alas~ It seems that from today onwards, I need to be a devout believer in God ~Amen~"
With little time to rest and adjust, and after a short day of targeted workouts, the Lakers entered Game 2 of the series.
At 7 p.m. on May 16, U.S. time, the second game of the Lakers VS Thunder series started at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
The Thunder team has gone through a big win in the last game, and all the players vowed to win two consecutive home games and go to the Staples Center in Los Angeles with a score of 2-0. What about the Lakers? On the contrary, they will want to win their second game, level the score, and then return to Los Angeles at home.
Before it started, the Thunder coach said: This year's Lakers are vulnerable! The Thunder must make it to the Western Conference Finals!
Mike. Brown quickly countered: Mr. Brooks is definitely joking! We were just too tired from the last game, so we don't want to win easily tonight!
Who can win?
ESPN's probability of qualifying, the Thunder is as high as 91%, and the Lakers are only 9%.
Las Vegas Bo. The lottery company has readjusted the odds, with the Oklahoma City Thunder winning 9 to 1 and the Los Angeles Lakers winning 5.5 to 1.
"Brian, how many points do you think the Thunder can win tonight?" Grant. Ron asked.
"um~ at least 20 points, the Lakers made me miserable in the last game." Brian. Davis said with a smile.
"ah~ha~ You're getting smarter, Brian, it looks like I can't fool a big pizza tonight~" Grant. Landau.
"Don't worry, Grant, if the Thunder win tonight, then a big jam pizza is indispensable for yours!"
"okay~A word is a certainty~Brian~Don't be allowed to repay the debt when the time comes~"
"It's definitely not a bad account, there are fans in the stadium to testify, it can't be fake."
The two talked happily, and looking at the relaxed expression, they didn't seem to take the Lakers seriously at all.
Also, who called the last game, the Lakers lost by so many points? Others will look down on it, and that's right.
In the North American professional sports circle, it is such a reality, the winner is king, the loser is the villain, and there is nothing to talk about.
If you want them to shut up, just win tonight's game.
The method is simple.
And in the locker room, the Lakers are in a little trouble.
Mike. Brown was sweating profusely and said, "Gary, how is Bryant?" What's going on? Will it affect the appearance of the meeting? β
Gary. Witti didn't answer right away, but talked to the Chinese women's team doctor Judy. Seto discussed for a while before he said, "Mr. Brown, this should be a mild rhabdomyolysis syndrome. "After that, don't wait for Mike. As soon as Brown spoke, he looked directly at Kobe Bryant and said, "Bryant, did you have an extremely high-intensity training yesterday?" Tell me. β
Kobe frowned and said: "I did extra practice, but there is absolutely no problem with this amount of exercise, I used to do this after the game, and there has never been a problem......" Kobe Bryant has not finished speaking, Gary. Vitti said: "Bryant, I strongly recommend that you get rid of this habit of practicing like crazy after losing. β
βwhyοΌ Gary? This is my personal post-match adjustment, how can I say that I will change it? Kobe Bryant said with some dissatisfaction: "There must be something wrong, I have been practicing this kind of intensity for more than ten years, and I have never had a problem with practice......"
"Bryant! I'm not talking to you! "Gary. Wettie said with a serious expression: "I've seen your post-game practice, pre-game practice, it's not in line with the tolerance of normal NBA players, but you insist on practicing like this, and I can't help it." But today, I'm warning you as a doctor, Judy just told me that your DOMS is obvious, and your CK is more than 100 times normal, and you're a professional athlete, so you should know what high creatine kinase means, right? β
"But Gary, I used to ......"
"It was before, and now it is now." In the Lakers, there are not many people who dare to interrupt Kobe Bryant like this, even Mickey. Kupchak doesn't do it either. Cogary. Viti, however, has this qualification. One is his identity, and the other is that his qualifications are enough to overwhelm the incomparably strong Black Mamba on the field. Gary. Victi stared at Kobe Bryant and whispered: "Before, you were still young, your body had strong endurance, and your metabolism was fast, so it wasn't a big problem to practice like this, but now." "Gary. Witti paused and said, "You can't be so willful anymore, because your body doesn't allow it anymore." β
Gary. Viti said this very tactfully, but Kobe Bryant understood the meaning.
Meaning, I have ...... Old?
"Normally, I would have suggested that you just take a break, but now it's the playoffs, and I know you're not going to say yes. So you'll be accompanied by Judy all the way tonight, and as long as it's the time for the break, even if it's 10 seconds, you're going to have to get a therapeutic massage from Judy, understand? Bryant? "Gary. Viti was very serious about asking Bryant for "reassurance".
"Well, I promise you." After a few seconds, Kobe Bryant nodded slowly.
Warm up.
Tang Qian walked up to Kobe Bryant and asked, "Bryant, are you okay?" β
"Well, it's okay, concentrate on warming up, and I must go home with a win tonight!" Kobe Bryant warmed up at various points one by one.
"Hot, don't worry about Kobe Bryant, he's not a normal person, you can't measure him by normal standards." Matt. Barnes walked up to Tang Qian's side and said with a smile.
However, this remark could not interrupt Tang Qian's worries.
Because he knows that this series is the time when the "Black Mamba" is integrated in attack and defense and really begins to disintegrate.
The offensive and defensive balance that he was once proud of has gradually declined from Kobe Bryant since this round of the series.
Coincidentally, before tonight's game, the NBA announced the 2011-2012 All-Defensive Second Team inductees.
Among them, the names of Kobe and Tang Qian are impressively listed.
2011-2012 Defensive Second Team of the Season, the list is as follows, Kobe Bryant. Bryant, Tyson. Chandler, Lore. Deng, Kevin. Garnett, Rajan. Rondo, Tang Qian. Among them Tang Qian and Lore. Deng was tied for the 2011-2012 All-Defensive Second Team.
This is naturally great news for Tang Qian, but for Kobe, it is not worth celebrating at all. Because this is the first time since the 2002-2003 season, except for the 2004-2005 season, Kobe Bryant only needs to participate in the selection of the best defensive team. Except for the 2004-2005 season, which did not have any nominations, Kobe Bryant has won 8 defensive teams in a row, and the last time he won the defensive second team was transferred to the 2001-2002 season, which is exactly ten years away from this season.
This may not seem like a big deal, but when you think about it, it's a signal that the league doesn't think Kobe Bryant is the best wing defender anymore.
For the top 10 superstars in history, it is a decline and a decline.
Kobe's face, unconsciously, became blue.
