"Damn! Damn it! These dogs. media people! One by one, they all praised this Oriental Yankee so high! Bastard! Is he your father??? Dog. Excrement!!! Dog. Excrement!!! "In a Los Angeles apartment, the Lakers No. 12 was lashing out at the newspapers, especially when he saw FOX sports reporter Abby Brown. After a report by Hornacek, he was even more angry: "What is the No. 29 is the pillar of Kobe's injury? What does it mean that he controls the Lakers' paint area? This stinks. Prostitute. Child! So what do I do? Little brother? Follower? Or miscellaneous??? ”

"He's one of the top 10 best value players in the league? Toil. Became the top 10 players with the lowest value for money? This. Child! ** The smell. Prostitute. Child! ”

"What does it mean that the Lakers have him on the inside and have a huge increase in defensive efficiency? Does that mean I'm on the court, causing the team's defensive efficiency to drop dramatically? Slut! This under-cleaned slut!! ”

"Ah~Ha~ If the Lakers can win the Rockets, is he the top priority? Amusing!!! ”

Howard kept scolding while reading the newspaper, and it wasn't until he read all the newspapers that he calmed down a little, and said: "Since you are all so optimistic about him and think that he is the current savior of the Lakers, then I just won't let you get your wish!" Wait, anyway. Zi won't stay in this hellish place next season, so it's better to let you all get good before leaving! ”

"Wait and see! Still want to make the playoffs??? There are no doors!! ”

There were still 3 days of rest before the last game, and Tang Qian spent almost all of his time in the training hall except for going out to have dinner with Taylor halfway. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info may not see any qualitative changes and leaps all at once, but a lot of training and practice can make Tang Qian's mood calm down and not too tense.

In the past, Kobe Bryant was in front, so he didn't feel too much, but now that Kobe is gone, he has faintly become the temporary "main general" of the current "old, weak, sick and disabled" team through last night's battle. So for a while, he felt that the pressure and burden on his body were too heavy.

The more important the game before the game, as the main player, the more you need to behave calmly, at least pretending to be calm. Otherwise, everyone is looking at you, and if you are nervous, then the whole team will inevitably get nervous together. This is definitely not a good thing for a basketball game. That's why Tang Qian kept practicing, one was to set an example, and the other was to try to make himself look stable and not make too many waves.

It seems to be working okay, at least the Lakers players still have a desire to fight.

The last game, fight down, and the team will be able to enter the playoffs.

Since the Rockets also lost the day before yesterday, they are currently only half a win ahead of the Lakers and tied with the Jazz. In this way, all three teams have the possibility of qualifying, and they are all in danger of going out. The situation suddenly became more confusing and suspenseful.

3 into 2, the battle for the final place in the playoffs is about to start.

Compared with the situation in the east and west, which has long been decided, it should be impossible to tell the winner from the last second.

However, the Lakers still have a slight advantage over the Rockets and Jazz, that is, in the last game of the regular season, the former is playing at home, and both the Rockets and the Jazz will go to the road to win in other places. At this last moment, any slight advantage may be magnified and eventually become a lethal gene.

On the morning of April 17, 2013, US time, the Lakers went to the hospital bed to see Kobe, and then came to the Staples Center en masse to warm up and be interviewed in advance. This kind of important game related to the final place in the playoffs, T.N.T TV naturally chose to broadcast it live nationwide, so there are many more reporters present today than in the usual regular season.

In the pre-game press conference, Don Qian, Gasol, Howard and Mike. D'Antoni attended.

Thinking about the star-studded team before the start of the season, the current Lakers team has a much more ordinary and dim lineup.

Of course, the main thing is that the results are not good, which makes people feel that they are no longer terrible.

"May I ask Mr. D'Antoni, what do you think of tonight's game, and how sure are you of winning?"

"The Houston Rockets are strong, we can't be underestimated, but we're going to do our best."

D'Antoni's answer was official and uninteresting, so the reporter asked Howard and Gasol again, and the two answered similarly to the former, which made the Yahoo Sports reporter pin his "hope" on the last person.

"Hot, what do you think? Will the Lakers win tonight? ”

"Of course, of course! 100%！ 100% of the time we win at home and make it to the playoffs! Tang Qian's answer was what the Yahoo reporter needed, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked: "I heard that after Kobe Bryant was injured, maybe you made a similar promise, is it because this promise makes you full of motivation?" Scald? "No, it's not." Tang Qian opened his mouth and said, "I'm just stating a fact, it's as simple as that." ”

The Yahoo reporter's eyes curled when he listened, and he didn't ask the rest of the people, but stared at the Lakers No. 29 and asked, "Why are you so sure?" Scald? Tang Qian replied: "You will know when the game is over in the evening." ”

"Hot, about James. What do you think of Harden's words? Will the Lakers be shot off the perimeter? ”

"There's a kind of thing they just stay on the outside and don't come in, so let's see how high a shooting percentage they can throw!"

At this moment, Tang Qian ignited the scene of this press conference, and the reporters in the audience knew what to do, and they asked questions against Tang Qian, and the rest of them did not answer a few times until the end of the press conference. This made Howard even more unhappy with the former, he just felt that his sense of existence and his limelight had been stolen, so he hated this like "pretending. Forced" of the Oriental Yankees.

Feign. Forced Oriental! I think you can talk about it for a while! After the game, there are times when you cry!

D'Antoni's expression was much calmer, because compared to the surprise of the previous game, he had already thought of the original intention of why the 29th was so "outrageous" in this game. This guy is going to ...... Resist the "media bombardment" when Kobe Bryant is not there.

This allows the rest of the players to be less distracted and more focused on the pitch.

And the reversal of the Spurs in the last game also made the Lakers' "trust" in him rise a lot.

This little guy may have a higher ceiling than I thought.

It's the future of the Lakers, alas......

D'Antoni turned his head to look at Dwight with a displeased expression. Howard glanced at it and said silently in his heart, forget it, win this game first and enter the playoffs. If he is blocked from the playoffs, then he will not be able to help him.

T.N.T Live Room.

"Charles, it's been a long time since I've been with you, and I miss you so much." Kenny. After Smith finished speaking, he heard Barkley snort dissatisfied: "I miss you too, Kenny, that Shaq guy is still a rookie in the commentary world, and he can't catch my words at all." ""Haha~" Kenny. After Smith smiled, he opened his mouth and pulled to the point: "Tonight's game, the Los Angeles Lakers vs. the Houston Rockets, I have a hunch that this game will be very intense, very good-looking." ”

"I think so too." Barkley said: "Both sides are working hard to get into the playoffs, and in this game, no one wants to admit defeat easily!" Otherwise, after 81 games, it would be uncomfortable to fall short in the end. "Yes, it's just that from the perspective of winning, the Lakers' winning margin is low." Kenny. Smith opened a graph of ESPN's analysis on the big screen.

"Are these ESPN guys doing this kind of boring thing every day?" Barkley said: "But at the end of the day, it's a human decision, it's not a mess of complicated numbers. "um~ But you can't say that this analysis chart is completely unreasonable." Kenny. Smith opened his mouth and said: "The Lakers have too many injuries now, and most of the main lineup has fallen, which is why I am not very optimistic about this game." If Kobe Bryant and Nash could play one more game, I would probably favor the Lakers, but right now, I still think the Rockets have a more neat and winning lineup. ”

"yes, damn the injury." Barkley said: "Now the composition of the Lakers' outside players is simply miserable, there is not much attack to attack, and there is no defense to defend, even if the entire league is the Magic and the Suns, I am afraid they can bully and bully them, and blow up the opponent!" "yes, that's a big problem too." Kenny. Smith said: "It stands to reason that the Lakers are a combination of the 'four kings' this season, with 2 injuries and 2 left, so they won't be so ineffective, but it's a pity...... Their inside line is completely unconnected, and the rumors are full of contradictions. ”

"Kenny, you're not right." Barkley said: "Aside from Howard, the inside connection between Scalding and Gasol is still good, and the last game against the Spurs was the best example. One offense and one defense, he managed to build a perfect interior line, and even knocked out the San Antonio Spurs, who were third in the league. "You can't say that." Kenny. Smith said: "It was just an explosion of form that night, can you still expect him to continue to have 16 hats in a single quarter tonight?" What the Lakers lack most now is offense, offense, and no independent scoring ability, which is a hard injury! I think if this problem can't be solved, then the Lakers are lost! ”

"Do you think Howard can take on this task?" Barkley disagreed: "I think the inside combination of hot + Gasol is far more powerful than Howard + Gasol. Look at Howard while he's on the floor, Paul. How many shots did Gasol take in the low post? How many shots have you made? The presence of the two of them at the same time means that Howard has eliminated the Spaniards' offense, which is far less good than the hot effect. "But I lack the ability to attack independently." Kenny. Smith said: "Besides, Howard is still 3 consecutive DPOY, and his defensive core attributes can't be lower than hot, only high, so ......"

"Howard is a 3-time DPOY?" Barkley interrupts Kenny. Smith suddenly laughed strangely and said, "Hey, hey, hey~ I said it before, Howard is a good player, but he is definitely not great." 3-time DPOY? Kenny, you don't look at who's competing with him in the league over the years. Barkley said in a mocking tone, adding: "The person who competed with him in the 08-09 season was LeBron. James and Dwayne. Wade and his Battier. OK, I'm not belittling the three of them, in fact, the outside players can do this, it's already very strong. It's just that this also shows a problem, there is no one on the inside, so it is Howard's turn to be alone. The '09-10 season was similar, Josh. Smith + Gerrard. Wallace + LeBron. James, three more outside players to compete with him. In the 10-11 season, they were Garnett + Chandler + Toney. Allen + Rondo, two outside lines were eliminated, and only Garnett and Chandler remained. Come.on~ How old is Garnett this season? He's 35~36 years old, okay, as for Chandler, you know, I've always felt that he was an ordinary player, and it was purely a burst of character to get DPOY. Looking at it this way, how much luck does Howard occupy if he can get 3 consecutive DPOY? I still remember when I was playing, except for the first few years when DPOY was created and the selection was not very regular, how could there be such a competitive environment as Howard? Now he doesn't have a real superstar insider, and if he can't get it a few times, he can get out of the house and eat high Lego for a few more years. ”

"Can you imagine him and Olajuwon, David. Robinson, Ewing, Rodman, Mutombo, Mourning, O'Neal, Summit Garnett, Ben. Wallace blah blah blah, put together for comparison? oh~ Oh my God, Olajuwon is here, how many DPOYs do you think you can get? We've all been teammates with him, so you know his defensive energy, right? 5 pcs? Or 7 of them? 8 pcs? I don't think any player can pose a threat to Olajuwon before he gets old. There are still a lot of strong people who didn't get DPOY in the 90s, and I can only say that they were born in the wrong era. "Barkley hasn't been very kind to Howard, Kenny. Smith knew it, and although he said it for a moment, he was a little exaggerated, but Kenny was in his heart. Smith also thinks Howard is catching up with a good era. Otherwise, in the 90s, the inner line demons danced wildly, let alone get the DPOY, maybe it would be very difficult to even play.

Talent in hand-to-hand combat? That's the favorite dish of that era, how many seasons can you Howard last?

"Well, while it's a bit unfair for Howard to say that, ...... I would also like to agree with you. If Hakim comes to this era, not to mention 7~8 DPOY, it will be no problem to take at least 5~6. Hakim's defensive dominance at the peak is really terrifying, I knew it back then, and all five statistics in the playoffs were the first in the team! And you know, in the first year, we didn't have any season honors except for Hakim, and that's it, and we ended up winning the championship! The pinnacle is like him, if he comes to this era, I estimate that the offensive and defensive aspects will be expanded several times, and the picture is unimaginable. "Hear Kenny. Smith said this, and Barkley smiled and said, "So, that guy's peak stopped back in '09, and the speed of the decline was even faster than I thought." ”

"By the way, Charles, when it comes to DPOY, I remember, you seem to be very optimistic about the Lakers No. 29, right? Do you think he deserves to replace Mark? Is Gasol the DPOY of this season? "Kenny. Smith asked extensively, "How do you know Charles. Barkley blurted out, "Of course!" You look at his average blocks per game, No. 14 has risen to an average of 4+ per game after the first game, and if this game is strong, maybe the rebounding king will also be taken down, who do you not give him DPOY for? ”

"The heat is really strong, but Mark. Gasol's high-level stats are just as good, look at it......"

"Come.on~Kenny, are you kidding, the basic data is not excellent, what are you talking about high-level data?" Charles. Barkley said very domineeringly: "But it's okay if the league doesn't give him this award this season, stimulate this kid, let him strive to work harder next season, and then break Howard's water triple DPOY in one fell swoop!" "Charles, do you actually think that Dongfang Perm can break Howard's triple DPOY? Are you serious? Are you serious? "Hearing Barkley say more and more outrageous, Kenny. Smith couldn't help but help round the field. But "Sir Charles" didn't answer at all, but continued to "talk freely": "Of course I'm serious, Kenny!" I bet I can get at least three DPOY trophies in my hot career, and one less you can go to me in the future! ”

"Uh-huh, you can pull it down, I'll go to the future to find you? How do I go to the future? "Kenny. Although Smith has long been accustomed to Barkley's "big mouth", he still can't help but joke: "Depending on how hot you like, if you are the general manager of the Lakers, I'm afraid that the cornerstone of the next team will choose to be hot, right?" ”

"You're right!" Barkley didn't hesitate at all, and blurted out directly: "Howard is not the kind of player who is suitable for building around the team, he can only be a team supplement and a piece of the team puzzle." And the hot age is younger than him, and the ball style is more fierce, if you just choose to supplement the puzzle, then why not be a younger one? Believe me, 'Warcraft' is a thing of the past, hot is the future tense, and leaving him is the most correct decision! ”

PS: This is the first watch, and there is another watch, you can get up in the morning and watch it again~

Barkley's remarks, many of them are true, if you are interested, you can search for it yourself~
