Chapter 31: Tang Qian's Challenge (I)
Tang Qian was the sixth man, so by the time he got on the court, there were almost two minutes left in the first quarter.
The person he replaced was, of course, Brandon. Kostner.
The scores of the two teams are 30 for the defenders and 41 for the warriors.
"Hot, catch the ball!"
Through his performance in the last few games, Tang Qian has slowly gained some recognition from the defenders, at least rejecting him as he did at the beginning, and he no longer exists.
The NBDL is also a competitive league, and in the United States, no competitive sports are charity, so naturally, the athletes who play in it are the same. Although the salary level of the NBDL league is not high, it also has its own incentive system. For example, to make the playoffs, for example, to reach the division finals, for example, to reach the finals, there are a lot of prize money. In the past, the defenders didn't care because they couldn't get this reward at all, but this season, it's a little different.
Although some things are not obvious yet, the members of the defenders are well aware of it.
It was Manny who gave Don the ball to the dive. Harris, this man was one of the first to change attitudes, why? The answer is simple, with Tang Qianqian, he is easier to score, easier to assist, and easier to brush statistics. Don't look before him and Brandon. Costner seemed to be like a brother, but when it came to his own vital interests, he did not hesitate and chose to "defect".
As the saying goes, there are two if there is one. Harris took the lead, and the hearts of the rest of the people quickly wavered.
Opposite Tang Qian is a New Zealand center named Finn, who is two meters tall, stout, but moves relatively slowly, and has mediocre defensive skills, he is a second-round rookie in the NBDL.
Tang Qian now urgently needs to increase the crystal bricks in the scoring column, and the benchmark of the two pieces is not enough for him now. Therefore, in every game, Tang Qian's desire to attack is extremely strong, because the crystal liquid in the scoring column is already close to the critical point, and he only needs to "sprint" again, and he may be promoted at any time.
Of course, Finn didn't know Tang Qian's thoughts, so he didn't pay much attention to this yellow man.
Soon he paid the price.
Tang Qian saw that the opponent's defense was loose, where would he be polite, took the ball and directly half-turned around and hooked his hand, and the basketball hit the board into the net.
32 to 41.
This yellow kid has a set of offense, this is what Finn thinks in his head, but this ball does not mention his attention.
After all, in a basketball game, it is impossible to completely stop the opponent from scoring, so it is quite normal to be scored by someone.
And Finn didn't know that soon this "normal" was about to become "abnormal".
The Warriors attacked the iron, and soon Tang Qian scored another shot in his head.
34 to 41.
Playing two balls in a row, such a performance is more eye-catching, Finn looked at Tang Qian's figure, and the unhappiness in his heart gradually spread.
While~
The Warriors missed a three-pointer, which was a huge gap, but backup shooting guard Looney didn't take the chance.
Brush~
Tang Qian again, continue to hook his hand to hit, it is obvious that his hand today is very good.
36 to 41.
After Tang Qian came on the court, he scored six points in a row, and the score difference between the two teams instantly narrowed to 5 points.
"Hot, good job, you can play a few more tonight!" Point guard Manny. Harris Road.
"Okay, I got it." Tang Qian nodded, he knew that the reason why the other party was so "positive" was entirely because he had just helped him brush three assists in a row.
"Finn, how did you do it, you were poured three balls in a row by a yellow man, did you talk about women last night?"
"No, I'm just careless, give me the next ball, and I'll teach this yellow kid a good lesson!"
was beaten three times in a row by Tang Qian, and Finn naturally felt that he couldn't hold his face, so he had to respond.
Damn the yellow race, you show me, this is Finn's counterattack!
“pass!”
Finn stuck his position and raised his hand to ask for the ball, and he already saw a touch of impatience in the eyes of the manager on the sidelines.
If you fall behind again, waiting for your own result, you will be directly replaced.
Although the NBDL is only a second-tier league, there are still a lot of people who want to squeeze in with their heads sharpened. After all, no matter how much NBDL is, it can make money, right? This is undoubtedly a good way out for many players who are between the NBA and amateur.
And don't think that there is no competition in the NBDL, in fact, the data proves that the NBDL has much greater personnel turnover than the NBA, so if you can't, someone will come and replace you immediately, which is much more efficient than the resignation of the company.
Therefore, Fein decided that he couldn't let Tang Qian be "arrogant" anymore, he had to return the color!
Finn has a good height, an okay arm span, and a more supple feel, which makes his scoring on the inside line never too bad. Now facing Tang Qian, he came up with a "killer feature" again, "slowly and slowly hook the operation". Why is it called this name, because his movements are too slow in Tang Qian's opinion, of course, this is a common problem of many white tall centers, although the physique is good, but the athletic ability, it is really not flattering.
"Hey!"
Finn is not stupid, before he made a move, he used his strength to force Tang Qian, the purpose of this time, it is self-evident, is to delay Tang Qian's body reaction, so that Tang Qian has no way to bounce up in the first time.
This trick Fern usually uses, but it is also "ten times and nine shun", when he misses, it is not much, but unfortunately tonight, he is destined to be deflated. Just as Finn shot at his usual pace, a big black palm suddenly rose in front of him. Then, under Finn's surprised gaze, the big palm slapped off the rising basketball, and there was a "snap", like a loud slap.
"Look at me!"
Just after Don dropped Finn's hook, Santa Cruz Warriors point guard Looney got the frontcourt rebound, and then with a slight bend of his feet, he relentlessly blasted towards the defender's basket.
"Want to pick up the slack? No way! ”
Just as Rooney's hand was getting closer and closer to the defender's hoop, there was a loud shout that swooped straight into his eardrums. He glanced at him in mid-air, and the pupils in his eyeballs were rapidly dilated, it was him???
Phil. Hubbard watched from the sidelines, and said silently in his heart: This kid, what a fast bullet speed! Not at all like a yellow man! It seems that Li's recommendation is quite sincere!
Syllable!
The basketball in Rooney's hand was covered, and he successfully protected the basket twice in a row, this kind of performance was enough to make the whole team of defenders boiling!
Manny. Harris seized the opportunity and immediately attacked quickly, and the Santa Cruz Warriors were caught off guard and were easily "stolen" by Harris.
38-41, the end of the first quarter, the 3-point difference, for the NBDL league, is a blink of an eye, the Defenders see the hope of winning tonight.
"Yes, the boys are playing well, so let's keep up the good work and break each other in one go." Phil. Hubbard said with a smile on his face that if he can win this game tonight, then the defenders will have a good record of 3 wins and 1 loss in the new season, at least this can be regarded as the "best start" since he took charge. For a manager, the winning percentage is naturally as beautiful as possible, which is similar to the players asking for data.
Compared with the "high-spirited" atmosphere of the defenders, the Santa Cruz warriors on the opposite side are a lot duller.
Upon closer inspection, head coach Tritsch was already "spitting".
"Finn! What are you doing? Are you sleepwalking? Don't you feel ashamed to be beaten three times in a row by a yellow man??? Or is there no 'shame' in your New Zealand??? f.uck!!! I'm telling you, you're such a ridiculous piece of waste!! ”
"Coach, I'm sorry, please give me another chance......"
Before Fein could finish speaking, Trichy shouted with wide eyes, "shi.t!! You dog. Excrement! Do you still want a chance? Do you think you're the owner of the team? Do you think I'm your payroll? Get me to the bench and sit down, and you're going to have a chance with the water cooler tonight!! ”
"And you! Rooney!!! What are you laughing at? Do you think you played better than him??? You can't shoot three points in such a big empty position, are you short-sighted??? And the ball just now, what did you deduct? Don't you see that your baseline teammates are empty??? Forget about dunking, you dunk it for me??? How does it feel to be fanned by that yellow man??? Isn't it higher than your ejaculation!! ”
Rooney was sprayed "bloody" by Triche and wilted in the blink of an eye.
"Let me tell you, our Santa Cruz Warriors' goal this year is not to make the playoffs, not to make it to the second round, but to win the division, to be the boss of the Western Conference! If we can't get rid of the Renault bighorn sheep this year, you're going to roll me all up!! Got it??? ”
Tritsch is a typical "passionate" in the United States, he is different from the "academic" coaches, what he has always emphasized is that "coaches infect players" and "coaches and players are one", so this kind of similar scenes, in Tritsch, is already "commonplace" and "countless". Roaring and roaring will always be an indispensable label for their type of coach.
"Coach, you don't need to be angry, it's just that you've been chased back a few points, and when we get on the field, we can settle it immediately." A middle-aged man with a dull voice suddenly interjected.
"Marcus, of course I'm relieved about you, but these 'listless' little cubs really don't scold, they are different from you, they don't whip a whip, and they don't bother to move half a step." I saw that it was Marcus who spoke. Fetzel, Tritsch immediately changed his tone.
This is one of the "unspoken rules" in the basketball world, the head coach does not fight with the main stars, otherwise once there is a discord, there is a chance that the former will get out. Such examples, not to mention the NBA, are also common in the NBDL. After all, when playing basketball, the coach is only an assistant, and it is the players and "stars" who really fight on the court.
"It's okay, Coach Trich, isn't he just a yellow monkey? Wait for me to go to the right place, you can rest assured. "Marcus. Fetzel Dao.
"Really? That's great! Since Marcus is willing to defend him, then it is naturally foolproof. Seeing Marcus take the initiative, Triitch was overjoyed. Because in NBDL, the main star force is generally unwilling to do these "dirty work" and "tiring work", for most of the star main force, with this idle time, it is better to go to the offensive end to brush up more data, which is not only good-looking, but also easy and realistic. Which is like defense, not to mention the consumption of energy, and generally can't add a few data, so calculated, which is cost-effective, everyone's hearts are like a mirror, it goes without saying.
"Hmph, that's inevitable, who called him Chinese!" Marcus's eyes lit up.
Chinese?
Tritsch was slightly stunned, and immediately understood that Marcus was going to catch the Chinese kid to "vent his anger".
Why? Because Marcus was in the NBA, he was kicked in the ass by Yao Ming, the champion show.
Therefore, he has an inexplicable hatred for the Chinese.
In the sixth minute of the second quarter, Tang Qian reappeared.
Replacing the main center so early, the signal is obvious, Brandon. Kostner, about to "fall out of favor".
The score of the two teams was 45-55, and the defenders temporarily fell behind.
"Chinese boy, are you playing again? Have you prayed to God? As soon as Tang Qian came up, he found that the person who defended him was not the center of the Warriors, but their power forward, Marcus. Fetzel.
"Is that you?" Tang Qian looked at Marcus, his eyes shrunk slightly.
"That's right, it's me, how about the Chinese boy, are you scared?" Marcus. Fetzel said "aggressively".
Tang Qian didn't bother to pay attention to him, he knew that anyone who had played in the NBA would keep "chattering" and "banging" in his mouth. He's going to focus all his energy on the game, and he doesn't have time to talk nonsense with this Marcus.
But soon, he tasted the power of a "former NBA" player.
As soon as Tang Qian held the ball, the latter clinged to it like a cheetah, one hand pressed against Tang Qian's back, and the whole person was a little fluctuating. Why do you say evasive? This is the feeling of Tang Qian after receiving the ball, the opponent seems to have been pushing himself, but he doesn't seem to move at all, this kind of grasp of the rhythm and familiarity with the rules far exceed any opponent Tang Qian has faced before.
Not easy to deal with!
This is Don Submarine and Marcus. Fetzel's first personal feeling of alignment.
However, retreat is not Tang Qian's basketball style, whether the opponent is strong or not, whether the opponent is strong or not, that still has to be known after playing. So in his heart, Tang Qian decided to try the opponent's ball alone.
Tang Qian made a feint to shake his shoulders and move his waist, but Marcus behind him. Fetzel didn't move, and just as Tang Qian wanted to continue to make moves, Marcus suddenly whispered: "Chinese boy, put away your lame feints!" In my eyes, these feints of yours are not as good as bullshit! ”
"What?"
Tang Qian frowned, he didn't pay attention to Marcus's words, and still continued to attack according to his own offensive rhythm.
"Are you trying to dribble and turn left?"
Just as Tang Qian was about to turn left, a voice suddenly froze his movements.
Did he see it? Is it a coincidence?
Tang Qian and Marcus confronted for a while, and when they were about to take the opportunity to break through, Marcus behind him read again: "Do you want to break to the right?" ”
This......
Tang Qian's heart was a little shocked, being able to say it accurately once can be called a guess, and being able to say it accurately twice in a row is definitely not accidental. This Marcus, defensive anticipation, is quite powerful!
Tang Qian finally missed the ball under the interference of Marcus.
Turning around to defend, it was still Marcus against Tang Qian, although Marcus was one piece shorter than Tang Qian, but in terms of weight, it was much exceeded. Tang Qian is only in his early 230s, and at most 235 pounds, but Marcus is in his early 230s. What about Fetzel? That's 258 pounds! This is because he has slowly lost a lot of weight in recent years, otherwise in the "peak" of the NBA, he would have weighed at least 260 pounds or more. What is this concept? More than 20 pounds more than Tang Qian! So when it comes to physical confrontation, not only does he not take advantage of the disadvantage, but wants to gain the upper hand and directly overwhelm Tang Qian.
As we all know, in the basketball interior confrontation link, the greater the weight, the more stable your body and chassis are, and the more stable your body and chassis are, the more stable your shooting rhythm is, and the less likely you are to be shaken by the opponent. Of course, the weight cannot be increased unlimitedly, otherwise blindly gaining weight and losing the ability to exercise, then it is also "bullied".
Exemus. Fitzel's height is calculated, and his weight is definitely "heavyweight". Even Duncan and Garnett, who are much taller than him, are inferior to him in terms of weight.
It can be seen from this that Marcus. Fetzel's strength.
In this round of attack, he almost pressed Tang Qian's strength, and although Tang Qian was young and tall and had long arms, he was stubborn and couldn't jump.
This way of attacking is really unreasonable!
It feels like a bully for a high school student!
Former NBA player?
It's really unusual!
Tang Qian said secretly in his heart.
PS: A book friend asked me, why don't I send the chapters separately? Xiaozi generally rarely has more 2k chapters, and 4k to 5k is the majority, so some book friends suggest that Xiaozi is developed in a way that can earn better clicks and data. That's right, this book friend is also for Xiao Zi's books, but Xiao Zi is also a reader herself, so she understands the unpleasantness of reading 2k chapters very well, so she writes her own book, generally starting with 3k, and 4k to 5k is the best. Thank you for your enthusiasm and enthusiasm, Xiaozi is really grateful!! It's true!
