As the dust settles on all regular seasons, the list of individual average data per game has finally surfaced.
Scoring champions: New York Knicks, Carmelo. Anthony, averaging 28.7 points per game.
Rebounding king: Los Angeles Lakers, Tang Qian, averaging 12.5 rebounds per game.
Assist king: Boston Celtics, Rajan. Rondo, averaging 11.1 assists per game.
Block king: Los Angeles Lakers, Tang Qian, averaged 4.1 blocks per game.
Steal King: Los Angeles Clippers, Chris. Paul, averaging 2.4 steals per game.
In addition to the five basic data "kings", there are also some small list of "kings", such as the king of mistakes - James. Harden. For example, the foul king - Dwight. Howard. For example, the three-point average king - Stephen. Curry. For example, the free throw king - James. Harden. For example, the Iron King - Carmelo. Anthony. For example, the king of efficiency - LeBron. James...... And so on and so forth. Different from the five basic data "kings", these inconspicuous small lists can sometimes see an overall trend and direction in the future.
For example, Harden, the king of mistakes, was officially launched, and in the next five years, he will be the absolute hegemon of this list, the absolute top three. This also shows that Harden has begun to enter an era of a lot of ball holding and a lot of leveling. And then the free throw king is even more needless, for a long time, the Rockets No. 13 will be a near-invincible existence in the league, and no one can shake it. This means that Harden's "porcelain magic skills" are preliminarily successful and will be famous in the league.
Then the three-point king per game shuffle, is also an introduction, may be the strongest three-point player in history gradually revealed, in the next 5 years, he is similar to the free throw king Harden, basically unshakable, unapproachable. The efficiency king is still the "emperor" LeBron, and his stability and peak state have made this list, basically from the beginning of the season, lose its suspense.
There are so many "doorways" that can be seen in the small list, not to mention the five basic big lists.
Not to mention that Tang Qian won the block king for the first time, winning the rebounding king for the first time is equivalent to taking two of the five basic lists. It's definitely a great honor. Since the statistics of the 70s were complete, there have been very few in the history of the NBA, and to put it more seriously, that is, 5 people have ever achieved it. They are Bill. Walton ('76-77), Ben. Wallace (01-02), Hakim. Olajuwon ('89-90), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar ('75-'76), Dwight. Howard (08-09, 09-10). In other words, among the active players, only Tang Qian's teammates, "Warcraft" has achieved this level.
But now the "Single Season Rebounding King + Block King Club" has another person, and he is the Lakers' No. 29, Tang Qian.
He will be the sixth man in the history of this "club", Tang Qian (12-13 season).
However, based on the fact that Tang Qian has a mediocre or even poor relationship with most authoritative media in the United States, few authoritative media have blown him up. Only Abby of FOX Sports. In his own report, Hornacek pointed it out: "Congratulations on becoming the sixth person in the history of this great "club"!
In the regular season, he averaged 4.9 points, 12.5 rebounds, 4.1 blocks, 0.9 assists and 0.2 steals per game, which is the final five basic data of Tang Qian's 2012-2013 season. It can be seen that compared with the previous year, there has been a lot of progress, and the five data have been comprehensively improved.
At 7:30 p.m. on April 21, 2013, the Lakers traveled to the AT&T Center for Game 1 of the series. With a trailing record, they don't have home-field advantage in the series.
When the Lakers entered the AT&T center, they were still in high spirits, thinking if they could win something, but as soon as the game began, the Spurs began to teach the Lakers lessons. It's a real lesson, textbook lesson, from moving to blocking to passing the ball, the Spurs literally have a dimension ahead of the Lakers! The Spurs led the Los Angeles Lakers by 20+ points in just 3 quarters, and Tang Qian used all his strength, which is still a drop in the bucket, let alone saving the Lakers, he is a mess.
Why is this happening? The reason is simple, there are three points.
First, compared with the "playing dead" in the regular season, the Spurs are like a different person in the playoffs, and the overall combat effectiveness has skyrocketed, making the Los Angeles people defenseless and unprepared.
Second, the Lakers' disadvantage has become more and more prominent in the playoffs, where they are fighting separately, without chemistry, without tacit understanding, and they are scattered. Not to mention the San Antonio Spurs, I'm afraid no playoff team can beat it.
Third, it is Tang Qian's own problem. First of all, his ability cards have been used up for the Lakers to impact the playoffs. Then his personal competitive state is more than a notch worse than the regular season.
Why? Because the "playoff demons" are coming again.
It came out of nowhere.
Tang Qian originally thought that he would lift this spell after winning a championship in the 70s, but it seems that he still thinks too much. "Different space" will not give itself such a cheap good thing. If you want to dismantle the "demons", you have to win the championship in Hyundai.
This made Tang Qian's competitive state, and Huo Ran suddenly slipped a big way.
Just like tonight, the competitive state fell by 19%, so that Tang Qian instantly lost the absolute opposition advantage on the defensive end, because your state has declined, but the opponent's state is improving, and it is not just 19%. This is also the biggest influence of the "inner demons". It seems that the decline in competitive form is only 19%, in fact, combined with the improvement of the opponent's form, the difference is at least more than 20 percentage points.
This is still an ordinary player, like a star, and the playoff state will increase more, making the "starting difference" between Tang Qian and them bigger and more disparity.
Although it can still hold down the Spurs' bench lineup, the feeling of being at home in the regular season is completely gone.
In the whole game, Tang Qian got 0 points, 8 rebounds, 1 block, 0 assists and 0 steals, not to mention how ugly it is, at least it is not very good-looking. This made a group of authoritative media in North America, led by ESPN, suddenly excited, and began to gear up, and couldn't help but write in columns and websites:
Oriental perm is the king of the season block? Season rebounding champion? The regular season is okay, but the playoffs are all revealed!
The old spicy spurs are powerful! Let the Lakers' No. 29 offensive end and defense be completely wasted!
This is the difference between an ordinary player and a star player, look at Howard's stats on the field, it is clear at a glance!
He's just a normal NBA bench player! Bullock. López said in an interview with ESPN.
Best Defensive Player? Charles, do you think he really has the qualifications and abilities?
As soon as the "loss" came down, these authoritative media could be regarded as out of the atmosphere, staring at Tang Qian, and preparing to come back to the next round. The second game took place 3 days later, again at the AT&T Center in San Antonio. The second lineup of the best rookie lineup was released on the same day, and Tang Qian finally waited for the unboxing reward of "Different Space".
Block King + Rebound King, Tang Diving opened one and opened one, and the one opened was a silver agility card, and the user's physical agility increased by 40% within 12 minutes. This made the performance of the night a little better, cutting 9 rebounds and 4 blocks in the second quarter, but the Lakers still lost in the end, trailing the San Antonio Spurs 2:0.
Why was this silver agility card used in the second quarter? Because the Lakers were beaten in the first quarter, if the second quarter was not used, the Lakers might have to enter garbage time early. Within 12 minutes, Tang Qian's performance was really good, rebounding, blocking, and supplementing defense all put the Spurs in a predicament for a certain period of time. But it's just evenly matched.
Because the Spurs' playoff power is too strong, even if Tang Qian opens the silver agility card, it will no longer be able to completely overwhelm the opponent like the regular season. And because of the effect of the "heart demon", Tang Qian's competitive state decreased by 15%, which also invisibly weakened the power of the silver agility card.
As for the others, they were all ruled by the Spurs and exploded.
Gasol has the right to attack inside when he cooperates with Tang Qian, and spends the rest of his time flying kites on the outside, which makes the threat level basically not worth mentioning. What about Howard, who was given high hopes by Lakers fans? This game was better than the first game, with 20 points, 15 rebounds and 2 blocks, but 0 assists, and only 8 passes in the whole game, which made the Lakers' outside offense fall into great rigidity. It's no surprise that he shot 3-of-22 from the field from the field, shooting less than 20 percent from the field and 13.6 percent from the field. What about the other side? 7 of 14 three-pointers, 50% shooting, nearly five times the Lakers!
In this way, if you don't lose, there will be ghosts.
Tang Qian got 5 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks in this game, which looks okay and not bad, but for the overall help of the Lakers, it is just a mud cow. Except for a little resistance in the second quarter, after a while, it was basically still powerless and powerless.
In the end, they lost 81-102 and 21 points, and the Spurs won both home games.
The tournament will move to the Staples Center in Los Angeles in two days.
0:2, how long can the Los Angeles Lakers struggle? ――ESPN。
The Spurs easily beat the Lakers, with a net difference of more than 40 points in 2 games, averaging 20+ per game. ――ESPN。
Oriental perm magic is no more! He ran out of energy in the final stages of the regular season! - FOX Sports.
Who else can save the Lakers? Unless Kobe Bryant makes a miraculous comeback, Nash's resurrection at full blood is almost the same! -- Yahoo Sports.
It should be the most suspenseless series in the East and West, and the San Antonio Spurs have a 99% chance of qualifying! -- Sports Illustrated.
When was the last time the Lakers were swept? As soon as old Buss dies, the Los Angeles Lakers' big ship will collapse! -- CBS Sports.
Domestically, Lakers fans are also wailing, and the good news that Tang Qian was crowned the king of blocks and rebounds was diluted in an instant.
After two consecutive losses, the Lakers fell into a vague pessimism, and most people believed that the team series would not be able to defeat the Spurs. Mike. D'Antoni works overtime every day, studying footage and tactics, but this kind of improvised cramming is of little use to the current Lakers.
If the No. 26 home game loses again, the Lakers will be completely out.
Because of the 0:3 reversal, no one in history has ever been able to turn it over.
If it becomes this kind of series score, it means that the game is over.
For Tang Qian's ridicule, I don't know when, Huo Ran got up more, Little Heavenly King Justin. Bieber's Twitter remarks added fuel to the fire, and it attracted a lot of attention and reprints.
He, the Lakers' No. 29, is just a regular season player, I don't know what everyone thinks?
As soon as this statement came out, first Taylor stood up and expressed his opposition, and then Carly. Klaus, Agalie. Ranadave and others have come out to support Tang Qian, but in terms of fans, it is Taylor's influence that is the most powerful. But obviously, the voices that support Tang Qian are weak, neutral fans and passers-by, and they still only look at the data and the victory or defeat.
As for Tang Qian, he is sure that he will do his best for the next game, but ...... The strength of the Spurs also exceeded his expectations.
I didn't expect that after entering the playoffs, the energy of the San Antonio people would be so strong! It's shockingly strong!
Suddenly, Tang Qian remembered something, in the 2012-2013 season, it seems that the San Antonio Spurs are the team that reached the finals, right? and the Miami Heat fought 7 games before being picked out. So, are the Lakers playing a series against this season's Finals team?
Difficult.
It's too difficult.
When Tang Qian meditates alone, he likes to sit in the "different space", because it is absolutely quiet here, and absolutely no one can disturb him. And at this moment, something in the "other space" attracted his attention.
