"Hot, yes, your blocking and dismantling proficiency is getting better and better, and the tacit understanding with me is gradually heating up, keep coming on~" Steve. Nash and Tang Qian said with a smile, "Son of the Wind" is still a very easy-going and gentlemanly person in general, so the time spent with him is not cold. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "No, Steve, I feel like I could have been better. Tang Qian shook his head and said, "Can you tell me more details, the problem in the block and dismantling just now?" ”

"Hot~ Your thirst for knowledge is very strong~" Steve. Nash said with a smile.

"There's no way, the Lakers have too many strongmen, I can only work harder to get to the next level." Tang Qian replied.

"Go to the next level?" Steve. Nash looked at the Great Oriental in front of him, as if something had passed in his heart, and after a while, he smiled and said, "Well, indeed, if you want to go to the next level, you need to work harder." ”

"Then let's move on." Tang Qiandao.

"Okay~" Nash said.

Christmas Day is a rest day for ordinary Americans, but it has nothing to do with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Because the Lakers are frequent visitors to the Christmas game almost every year, it is impossible for the players of the Los Angeles Lakers to spend Christmas with their families. But for Tang Qian, Christmas is not of great significance, because Chinese Christmas is purely fashionable and fun, and there are few people who really understand the meaning of Christmas in the traditional sense. And this festival is only known to young people, and Chinese over 40 years old know the exact date, and the base is much less. When you reach the age of 50-60, I am afraid you will not be able to figure out which month this festival is.

After all, the Oriental festival is the big head of the Chinese, and many people also celebrate the Western festival, but the meaning is completely different from the former. At least for Tang Qian, Christmas is an ordinary day, and there is nothing that must be done. He spent the last Christmas with Taylor, but this one, it is impossible to spend it together. Because of the first point, the Lakers have arrangements for the Christmas game tonight, so Tang Qian must also participate. The second point is that Taylor is going to a very important show tonight, so her person is no longer in Los Angeles at the moment.

This is the price of celebrities, and this price will be slowly tasted by Tang Qian in the future.

However, there are still acquaintances who came to the scene, and they are the sisters Sophia. Rose and Sestin. Rose.

Now Sophia is in college, and the school she chooses is the University of California, Los Angeles.

In other words, in a sense, she and Zhou Zhiru have formed a relationship between a senior sister and a senior sister.

Sestin. Rose entered her final year of high school.

But for both high school and college students, school is closed for Christmas, so they have a lot of time to watch the game.

But tonight, Tang Qian, who had just won the best of the week, returned to the bench from the starting lineup. Gasol has returned from injury. In this way, the four heavenly kings have been reassembled, and people's expectations for the Lakers have been rekindled again.

This is the real NBA star player, their qualifications and heritage are not comparable to Tang Qian, a sophomore rookie. So sitting on the bench has become an inevitable result. But this thing Mike. D'Antoni had already discussed it with Tang Qian, so when it really happened, Tang Qian didn't feel much, and his mental preparation was sufficient.

The Lakers are going to face the Denver Nuggets tonight, and I don't know what the league thinks, and they actually put the grudge team in last season's playoffs on the big stage so quickly. The Nuggets have also been tough this season, although they started with a large number of key players. Karl's kneading and hard work came out with a 15-14 record. At present, the Lakers have 14 losses and 14 losses, ranking tenth in the West, and the team above the Lakers is none other than the Denver Nuggets in front of them. If they can take out their opponents tonight, then the Lakers are one step closer to the top eight in the West.

In addition to the 48-game ban for Kenneth Brown. Farid and the rest have returned, so it shouldn't be a one-sided game.

At least that's what the fans at Pepsi Center think.

Don't look at the current Nuggets record is still overpowering the Lakers, but the current Lakers record is 5 consecutive wins, a trend that is about to rise, and what about the former? By the time of the Christmas War, it had lost three in a row. So most people think that the Lakers are a winner.

Paul. Gasol's return from injury has also injected a shot of strength into Los Angeles fans.

After all, sister-in-law is one of the heroes of the Lakers' two consecutive championships, so in the City of Angels, there is still a good number of fans.

The game started under such circumstances.

The game was broadcast live nationally on ESPN Channel 2, although the host Jay. Williams has some "Lakers black" trends, but in the face of big momentum, he also chose neutrality and is no longer so blatantly black. Being an ESPN person, seeing the wind and steering the rudder, is a very important survival skill, if your skin is too thin, then you can't get along here at all.

But the result of the first quarter of the game was unexpected.

Although the Lakers scored a good 26 points, they had no choice but to score more points on the other side, a full 29 points, so after the first quarter, the Lakers were 26-29, temporarily trailing the Denver by 3-pointers. What the Lakers didn't do well in the first quarter was rebounding, and Gasol and Howard's twin-tower lineup didn't know if they hadn't played at the same time for too long.

Single section down, Dwight. Howard 4 rebounds, Paul. Gasol 2 rebounds, what about the opponent? Just Javier. McGee cut down nine rebounds, 18 rebounds for the Nuggets and 12 for the Lakers in the quarter. Tang Qian played 3 minutes and 44 seconds, got 4 rebounds, 1 block and 1 assist. It seems that even without the ability card, through the hard training in the offseason, Tang Qian's rebounding ability has also made a qualitative leap.

Ordinary main players, he can be evenly divided, or even faintly suppressed.

Not to mention the center forward inside the bench.

After a crazy week, Tang Qian is currently ranked No. 3 in the list of rebounds per game this season.

The second place is the Swiss center of the Magic team, Nikola. Vucevic, this season he came to Orlando, where there is no "Warcraft", and he instantly felt like a fish in water, and his data has greatly improved compared with his rookie season. Especially rebounding and scoring, almost doubled, so he is the biggest dark horse on this year's rebounding list. He is currently averaging 12.1 rebounds per game, 0.5 fewer rebounds per game than the first place. And the person who dominates the rebounds per game list this season is Tang Qian's teammate, Lakers No. 12 Dwight. Howard too. He is currently averaging 12.6 games per game, with a slight temporary lead over Nikola Vucevic.

Here we have to mention why "Warcraft" only averages more rebounds per game than Nikola. Vučević is 0.5 more. The culprit is none other than No. 29, Tang Qian, who is also the Lakers. Originally, a week ago, Howard's average rebounding data per game was about 13+, but after not grabbing a few rebounds for a whole week, it plummeted instantly, and the average dropped almost a full full 1 per game. Don't look at only more than 1, but for the competition for the rebounding king, it is extremely deadly. Because this means that he can no longer sit firmly on the throne of the season's rebounding king. A few random outbursts in the back could threaten his No. 1 position.

Hence Dwight. Howard did not have the slightest appreciation and recognition for Tang Qian, only annoyance and resentment.

In the second quarter, the Lakers' interior began to exert strength, Gasol shot 5 of 6 and added 2 free throws, and scored 12 points with an 83.3% shooting rate, and Howard did not lag behind, shooting 3 of 3 and 1 free throw, scoring 7 points. But this time he hit the free throw, but he used 4 free throw opportunities in exchange. Bryant scored seven points in the first quarter and Nash had two. The Lakers' four kings accounted for all of the Lakers' points in this section, with a total of 28 points.

With 28 points in a single quarter, this score is not bad in the NBA, and it can even be said to be good. But it's still the same old problem, the defense can't defend people, and they also scored 28 points. At the same time, the rebounding game lost again, 10-15, and lost 11 rebounds in the entire first half. The Lakers haven't tasted this taste for a long time.

This is the famous handsome George. Carl's strategy, in order to win, he tried to avoid playing positional battles with the Lakers, and in the sports battle, it was also a "random shot and bird" method, one person shot, and the other four people fought hard to grab rebounds. This looks like ignoring the return defense, and it is easy to be knocked fast by the Lakers and counterattacked defensively. Karl happened to take advantage of this and increased the speed of the entire Nuggets team, full of "track and field team" style.

As a result, because the Lakers' outside line is old and the interior players are too tall, many balls have obviously played fast breaks and defensive counterattacks, but they are still caught up by the Nuggets, interfered with or directly blocked. See here, Mike. D'Antoni called a timeout and prepared to adjust his tactics. Don't think he's only going to play fast breaks and counter-attacks, that's an insult to the "small-ball master." Because Mike. D'Antoni's "small ball" is actually "7 seconds or less", and he pays attention to making decisive shots, not hesitating, and attacking fluidly, rather than blindly running around.

As long as you read his book, you can understand it clearly.

Mike. D'Antoni's focus is not actually on the "small ball", but on a decisive and direct attacking style and attacking philosophy.

It's a pity that his arrangement didn't have an effect, because some people were procrastinating when playing tactical balls, which made Steve. Nash organized, extremely uncomfortable, extremely uncomfortable.

In this case, the Lakers trailed by three points at halftime, 54-57, and went into the second half.

Tang Qian played 5 minutes and 15 seconds in this quarter, and got 4 rebounds and 1 block.

Because the lag is not large, the overall atmosphere of the Lakers is still relatively relaxed.

But they don't know that the second half is the beginning.

The Lakers clearly stepped up their offensive firepower in the third quarter, scoring 33 points in the entire quarter, and everything seemed to be beautiful, shooting 63.2% from the field, with 10 assists and rebounds to regain their senses, 12 against 12, tied with their opponents. But when you look back, you find that instead of narrowing the score gap, the Lakers have been pulled wider and wider by their opponents. Why is that? The reason is simple, the Denver Nuggets scored a terrifying 39 points in this quarter. It outscored the Los Angeles Lakers' 33 points by six points, and made 14 free throws, giving the Denver a huge scoring advantage.

The Lakers didn't make free throws in this quarter, although they were not as good as the opponent's 14 shots, but there were 9 of them, but unfortunately, only 3 of the 9 free throws, including 2 of 2 for Kobe Bryant and 1 of 7 for Howard......

And aside from the free throw problem, the Lakers' defensive problems were exposed in front of the "track and field team" Denver people.

George. Karl doesn't play cards according to common sense at all, it's not a "small ball tactic" in the traditional sense at all, anyway, it's more like a head-covered attack, head-covered impact, head-covered shooting, and then a whole team rush to grab a rebound. If it weren't for the NBA game, it would be a high school game or an amateur league game.

It doesn't seem like there's any tactics at all, there's no discipline to speak of, it's just a slam and rush, a collision with you, a speed with you, and a physical strength with you. I don't care about conceding balls, mistakes, or being beaten fast attack, but I just mobilize the offensive and defensive enthusiasm of the five Denver people on the court to the greatest extent. And then...... It seems that there is no then.

In this case, the Lakers were made very miserable, because the opposite side basically disrupted the rhythm of the Lakers' game, and gradually made the Los Angeles people become disorganized. During actually Mike. D'Antoni and Nash had the intention to regulate, but unfortunately someone didn't listen to the command, procrastinated, and had low tactical execution, which directly undermined their rhythm adjustment on the court.

In this way, the fight became more and more chaotic, and finally the Denver people were completely impacted, from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position, all of them ignored, and took the ball and went to the Lakers' basket. Howard and Gasol, all in this quarter, accumulated 4 individual fouls, which shows the impact of the Lakers' basket. After Tang Qian's substitute time came up, he also wanted to change the trend of the game, but the opponent had completely gained momentum, and he couldn't press it if he wanted to. Even if he got three individual blocks in this quarter, he still couldn't turn the tide of the situation.

Because the people of Denver have almost gone crazy, even if it is Tang Qian, under the impact of high frequency, he has committed his third foul.

In the last quarter, Kobe Bryant wanted to turn the tide, so he turned on his personal scoring mode and tried to take over the game, but unfortunately his 15 points in a single quarter still couldn't save the final fate of the Lakers. Because of this quarter of the game, the Denver people were still full of firepower, scoring 30 points in a single quarter, completely cutting off the Lakers' hope of a comeback.

In the end, the Lakers went 114-126, a 12-point deficit, ending the longest five-game winning streak of the season.

The team's win rate fell below 50% again.

Kobe Bryant got 40 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals in this game, shooting more than 54%, but even so, it still couldn't prevent the Lakers from losing to Denver Pepsi Center. Gasol performed well in his comeback, handing over 19 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block. Nash also had decent stats, with a double-double of point guard standards. Only Dwight. Howard's performance was average, with only 12 points, 7 rebounds and 1 block.

Do you think his stats are bad because he has too few shots? On the surface, it looks like it's only 6 times, and the hit rate is okay, with 4 shots. But if you look at his free throw stats, 4 of 14, you can see everything. "Warcraft" tonight, the number of shots is definitely not low, but the free throw shooting rate is really too stinky. It's not impossible to score 20 if you're a little better.

But even if he hits all the free throws, it won't help, because the biggest problem for the Lakers tonight isn't here.

Tang Qian came off the bench in this game and got 12 rebounds, 6 blocks and 1 assist.

The Los Angeles Lakers ended their five-game winning streak on Christmas Day.

ps: The outbreak is complete, everyone votes~~~ Whoa~~~

Oh, by the way, Xiao Zi seems to have made a clerical error in front, D'Antoni's tactical concept should be "7 seconds or less", here Xiao Zi hereby corrects it~ (To be continued.) )
