Chapter 168: Angry (Medium)
On the evening of March 5, Tang Qian received a "familiar and unfamiliar" phone call.
The owner of this phone number is Zhou Zhiru.
"Why did you leave the country without saying a word?" The voice on the other end of the phone said slightly coldly.
"It's an opportunity, a chance to get into the highest level of basketball, so I don't have a choice." Tang Qian was silent for a moment and replied. Of course, he can hear who the owner of this voice is, he is not stupid, he knows the other party's affection, but he is resurrected and reborn, not to come to the love of his children, so he has always taken a lukewarm attitude towards Zhou Zhiru. thought that when she came to the United States, she would gradually forget herself, but things did not seem to be as simple as he imagined.
"Is basketball so important to you?"
"It's important." Tang Qian didn't hesitate this time and said, "I'm still alive in this life, just for it." β
"That's why you've been lukewarm to me? Ignore it all the time? β
"I ...... Whatever you think, anyway, we are already tens of thousands of kilometers away now, and it is impossible to meet again. Tang Qian didn't want to talk like this, but he felt that instead of hanging a girl, it was better to cut through the mess quickly and make her forget herself completely.
That's the best way for her.
"Heh, when you become a big star, don't you want to meet me? Tang Qian, you really can! β
"It's not like that...... Alas, Zhou Zhiru, you are a good girl, but now in my heart, I only have basketball, so ......" Before Tang Qian finished speaking, the other party said on the phone: "So you are afraid that I will hinder you?" Afraid that I will affect you? You don't accept my feelings. I don't care. But you went to the United States without saying a word. Do you still think I'm a friend? β
"I, I'm sorry, I didn't do it right, I apologize to you, but I've been born to play basketball all my life, so I'm ......"
"You don't need to say more, I know your ambitions. I've known you since my first day of high school. The other end of the phone interrupted Tang Qian's words again: "I have applied to go to the University of California, Los Angeles, remember to pick me up at the airport on the 8th, I know you didn't play that day." β
Doodle~
After speaking, Zhou Zhiru hung up the phone.
He's coming to Los Angeles to study?
Why?
Tang Qian always felt that there had been a change in Zhou Zhiru, but he didn't know exactly what it was.
Tang Qian later tried to call Zhou Zhiru's phone a few times, but the prompt on the phone was that the user had turned off the phone.
There was no way, Tang Qian could only make a note on his phone. Just in case you forgot about it that day.
β¦β¦
After the fierce battle in the last game, Tang Qian's ability has increased a lot. Not only did the defensive crystal bricks break through from five to six, but what made him even happier was that the block crystal bricks that had been stuck on the edge also broke through half of them. That's right, you read that right, it's half a block, maybe because the "different space" judged that Zhang Dashuai's peak cap is too strong, or maybe it's other reasons, in short, half of it is solidified, which can be regarded as a big growth.
Although this situation has appeared for the first time in Tang Qian's "different space" until now.
However, this did not affect his good mood.
After completing the quest card, Tang Qian obtained a bronze agility card, which has the effect of increasing the user's physical agility by 20% within 12 minutes, which can be used by anyone. In addition, due to the upgrade of the defensive crystal brick to qualification, "Different Space" also gave Tang Qian a bronze defense card, the force is as follows, within 7 minutes, the user's defensive ability is increased by 20%, which can be used by anyone.
It is said that big risks have big rewards, but now it seems that it is really true, there are so many bumper harvests in one game, Tang Qian almost didn't lose his jaw with joy.
In this way, it will be easier for me to gain a foothold with the Lakers.
In the game with the Pistons on March 6, the Lakers were careless about Waterloo, and Kobe's physical discomfort directly affected his competitive state, and compared with the perfect performance in the previous game, this game was much darker. He only hit 8 of 26 shots, including 2-of-9 from three-point range, and even if he cut down 7 rebounds and 7 assists at the same time, he couldn't save the Lakers from losing. Of course, there is a certain reason for the outburst of the opponent, Rodney. Starkey, who can only contribute 14+ points per game this season, went on a strong rampage tonight and played one of the strongest games of his career against Kobe, scoring 34 points on 13-of-20 shooting and shooting 65% from the field! Teamwork with Ty Sean. Prince's tangled defense, the Pistons' surprise 3-point win over the Lakers claimed their 13th win of the season.
After the last game, Mike. Brown gave Tang Qian a lot more playing time, scoring 7 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 points in 15 minutes. Brown made a good impression on his mind. And Tang Qian himself was also satisfied with this data, after all, he was already satisfied with this level without using the ability card.
However, compared to Tang Qian, Troy. Murphy's role has been weakened a lot, and the appearance time of less than 6 minutes speaks for itself. This is the norm in competitive sports, the strong are up, the weak are down, if Tang Qian's performance is a few more strong, then Troy. Murphy's fate is about to be sealed.
The Lakers' personnel liquidation, before and after the All-Star, is bound to work.
In this game, Tang Qian met the former rebounding king and 4-time DPOY winner. Wallace. After being on the throne with him a few times, Tang Qian could only sigh silently, the years are unforgiving, and Ben, who is nearly 38 years old. Wallace has completely degenerated, otherwise he will face him head-on, and he will have to shed his skin if he doesn't die. But even so, Tang Qian didn't take too much advantage, the opponent had 6 rebounds and 1 block, and Tang Qian was not too bad.
Tang Qian has always liked this player very much, so after the game, he asked the other party for an autograph.
But the real highlight of the game was not during the game, but after the game.
It's Andrew. Bynum's words stirred up the originally calm and ordinary waves.
'I think there are certain people in the team. Too many shots. It's hard for the team to win! β
A seemingly ordinary sentence. Let the major websites of American sports go crazy to reprint.
"Andrew. Bynum's attack! Alluding to Kobe. Bryant??? ESPN's official website reads.
"Lakers infighting? Andrew. Bynum accuses someone of being a cancer! He is to blame for the team's loss! T.N.T. wrote on its official website.
"A new alternation of power in Los Angeles? The O.K drama of the year is repeated again? The bleachers wrote.
"It's just an ordinary phrase and doesn't mean anything." Seeing that the rumors were getting more and more intense, the Lakers official had to stand up and refute the rumors.
However, in this world, there is no trust in the so-called official refutation of rumors, so the rumors that should spread are still spreading and have not been stopped.
Inside the Los Angeles Lakers. At this moment, the atmosphere is also tense.
Bryant. Bryant didn't say a word, sitting on the team's charter plane, and it was obvious that the atmosphere of the entire Lakers was a little stiff when he didn't speak.
It's the flight route to Washington, D.C., where the Lakers take on the Wizards back-to-back.
"Andrew, apologize to Kobe Bryant in the past, this matter is in the past." Fisher, as president of the players' union, was the first to stand up and ease the team's atmosphere.
Normally, normal people would borrow a donkey from the slope and follow Fisher's words and go down, but unfortunately he ran into the owner of the nunnery, who was known as "washing, cutting and blowing". When the owner of the nunnery heard this, he asked instead. "Why should I apologize to him?" Am I not right? If he hadn't been too alone in yesterday's game, we wouldn't have lost at all! β
"Alright. Don't talk about it, Andrew! Fisher saw that the other party still wanted B.B, and hurriedly stopped the other party.
"Derek, don't pretend to be a good person for me here, didn't you think about what I said yesterday? I've helped you speak up, shouldn't you thank me? β
"Some people, if they are old and decrepit, don't force the pit and not! If you continue like this, the team will only be ruined by you! "Kobe Bryant was too lazy to talk to Andrew again. Bynum, a fool, spoke, but when he heard this, he suddenly became angry, and said directly from his seat: "Don't think that you will go to heaven if you take a 30+10, without me opening up space and creating opportunities for you, do you think you can get a few points?" β
"It's better than you scored 22 points on 26 shots, and you took more shots than you scored, which is funny!" The owner of the nunnery is the kind of person who is easy to swell when he plays a good game, so he has been in the Lakers for 6~7 years, and his sense of presence is still so low.
"You think you'll be able to do it all with more shots?" Bryant Road.
"Or else? I shot 72% from the field in my last game! Unlike some people, it's only 30%! β
"Bryant, don't get angry with him, there are still back-to-back games to play today...... Fisher was about to persuade him, but Kobe Bryant cut it off with one hand: "I know there are still games to play today, so what?" β
"Just let him continue to do this nonsense?" Kobe Bryant said: "Don't forget, what is the goal of the Lakers for the season? It's to win the championship! Derek, do you think there's this element of dissonance in the team and how far the team can go in the playoffs? β
"What are you going to do with Bryant?" Derek. Fisher asked.
"Didn't he ask for the ball? Isn't he going to increase his shots? We're all going to work with him and give him a chance to play singles tonight! β
"Are you telling the truth? Bryant??? When the owner of the nunnery heard this, he immediately said happily.
"Of course it's true, but ......" Kobe Bryant's tone sank and said, "If you don't play well, then in the future, let me be quiet in the team, understand??? β
The owner of the nunnery didn't hear the second half of the sentence at all, but his eyes were bent, and he laughed loudly: "You just look at it!" Surrendering power early is a great thing for you, for me, and for the Lakers. β
"Paul, is Kobe really going to do that? Really want to feed Bynum a lot? Tang Qian sat next to the Spaniard and asked in a low voice.
βsureγβ Paul. Gasol said: "He's obviously a man of his word, isn't he?" β
That night, the Lakers played the Washington Wizards, and the final score was 100-111, with an 11-point deficit, winning the second consecutive loss of the season.
Kobe Bryant fulfilled his promise, and in 40 minutes of the game, he only made 8 shots, made 6 of 8 shots and made 7 free throws, and scored 19 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, shooting 75%! And Andrew. What about Bynum? Hit 9 of 31 shots, shooting only 29%, if it weren't for the good free throw feeling, 9 of 9 free throws, maybe this game would not have been 30 points. But because he spent too much energy on the offensive end, he only had 6 rebounds in this game, and both blocks and assists were "zero".
Fortunately, there is Gasol on the inside, with 19 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks, which can be called all-round, otherwise the Lakers would not lose by 11 points, and it is not impossible to lose by 21 points and 31 points.
Tang Qian played 16 minutes in this game, got 7 rebounds, 1 block, 1 assist and 4 points. In contrast, Troy. Murphy played 9 minutes, 0 points, 2 points, rebounds and 1 assist, and his statistics were comprehensively suppressed by Tang Qian.
Obviously, in Mike. In Brown's heart, Tang Qian's team status began to gradually improve.
Andrew. Bynum said that his offensive ability is still very good this season, but unfortunately his singles tonight are Javier. Mcgee. Javier. Who is McGee? With only 11.9 points and 8.8 rebounds this season, can he just get the owner of the All-Star starting lineup? The answer is yes.
Why? Putting aside McKie's 2.5 blocks per game this season, his brainless defensive enthusiasm is exactly what the heavier owner fears. Are you going to turn around and hook your hand? I jumped the cap. Are you going to have a half-hook on your back? I jumped the cap. Are you going to force the basket? I jumped the cap. In short, no matter how Bynum makes the final shot, McGee has only one way to deal with it, and that is the jump block. What the? Why don't you fake it? The owner of the nunnery has done a lot of feints tonight, but you can't stop people from playing fast and having a strong desire to block! McGee is the kind of person who you keep feintifying, I can keep jumping, don't look at him as a seven-foot man, but his athleticism is not weaker than an outside player, with a weight of 260 pounds, if it weren't for the ball quotient being too low and the offensive level too rough, it would be completely the body frame of an interior star. He only averaged about 27 minutes of playing time per game, but he could brush up on 2.5 blocks, this level is definitely not the level for whom, you must know that this season's "Warcraft" Howard averaged 38+ minutes of playing time per game, and only brushed up to 2.1 blocks. Defensive ability aside, in the block world, McGee's ability is one of the best, perhaps only Sergi. Ibaka can force him in the block world.
What is a purely physical talent cap? Just look at McGee's game, tonight, he gave away a total of 7 big hats, and coincidentally, all of them were given to the Lakers' Andrew. Bynum, the damage of this psychological shadow, is bound to be tons.
The man who claims to have touched the top edge of a rebound once is undoubtedly strong in terms of blocking ability.
Plus tonight's cap feels good, so it's inevitable that the owner of the nunnery will suffer.
At the press conference that evening, Andrew . Bynum was angrily absent, Kobe Bryant did not go to the scene, only Espanyol and Mike. Brown struggled to prop up the "long guns and short guns" of these journalists.
Don't look at tonight, Tang Qian's data is "mediocre", but he himself is more satisfied, because on the offensive end, he shot 2 of 2 and scored these 4 points with a 100% shooting rate.
It seems that his choice is indeed right, and he has to continue to look at Amare when he goes back. Stoudemire's Sun-Age video is the only way to go.
PS: If Big McGee wasn't a ball quotient problem, plus he had asthma and couldn't play for a long time, he should have been able to go to a higher level, alas, it's a pity that this talent is a pity.
By the way, McGee touched the top edge of the rebound, there is a video interview, if you are interested, you can search for it yourself, anyway, Xiao Zi personally thinks that in terms of touching high, Warcraft is definitely not McGee's opponent.
This is more of a supplement.,Tonight's fixed update is in the middle of the night.γ (To be continued.) )
