Chapter 199: Challenge Failure (Part II)
Sharif. Abdu. Rasim is a strange player.
Why? He's also a high-pick rookie, with six seasons scoring over 20+ points since joining the NBA in 1996, in addition to a 19.9-point season. In his rookie year, he was able to score 18.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks. But there are only 2 career honors in 12 years, one is the best rookie team, and the other is an All-Star bench. What's even more incredible is that Sharif. Abdu. In his 12-year NBA career, Rasim has only made the playoffs once, and he hasn't been a core mainstay. Compared to his perfect stats for the regular season, his playoff stats are only 9.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.3 steals and 0 blocks. Not to mention the peak season, not even 60% of the rookie season.
But if you put aside the playoffs, in the regular season, Sharif. Abdu. Rasim is definitely a star-caliber basketball player. As a power forward, he has averaged more than 3+ assists per game in 5 seasons in his career, and it can be seen that this person's passing skills are very good, and he can be called excellent among interior players.
So it's not surprising that he swiped this data on April 3, 2005.
But in the face of this set of historical data, Tang Qian felt deeply tricky.
20 points and 8 rebounds, what does 7 assists mean??? As an interior player, if you want to get 7 or more assists in a game, you almost have to rely on "luck". You don't see Yao Ming's career-high assists are only 7. As an interior lineman, especially as a center, the difficulty of brushing up assist statistics is the highest among the five positions in the game. Therefore, as soon as Tang Qian saw the word "7", his eyes were inexplicably "blackened".
The effect of the Silver Weekly Card also disappeared completely yesterday, and today is April 3rd, which happens to be the 8th day.
What to do?
Tang Qian checked his remaining ability card, as well as a bronze physical strength card, a bronze defense card, a bronze air relay card, and a bronze magic pass card...... Hey, there's also a bronze magic card, isn't it just right!
After seeing this bronze magic card, Tang Qian's mood finally calmed down.
On April 3, the Los Angeles Lakers played at home against the New Jersey Nets, and the current record of the two teams is 33-20 for the Lakers and 19-35 for the Nets. Basically, the Nets have wiped out the possibility of finishing in the top eight in the East this season.
This season, if you want to talk about the team that has disappointed fans the most, the New Jersey Nets are sure to be one of the top three.
Since the end of last season brought in Western Conference All-Star guard Deron . After Williams, the New Jersey Nets this season can be described as "high-spirited" and look like they are going to "do a big job", but the result is "heartbreaking". Even if the team has no chemistry at all, the overall morale of the players is low and there is no fighting spirit, which is what really hurts New Jersey fans. Even in exchange for the NBA Coach of the Year in the 05-06 season, Avery . Johnson didn't work, the team's record plummeted, and from the beginning of the season to the end of the season, there was no hope.
Avery. Since Johnson left Dallas, it seems that he has changed a new person, and his original coaching ability has completely evaporated. Looking at his coaching performance in Dallas, the Mavericks average almost all team points around 100+ per game, while the average score of restricted opponents is almost below 95+ per game, and the difference in net difference is about 5~6 points. But since I arrived in New Jersey, everything has been turned upside down.
In the 2010-2011 season, the New Jersey Nets averaged 94.2 points per game, and the opponent scored 100.4 points, with a record of 24 wins and 58 losses, a winning rate of 29.3%, and a win-loss margin of 6.2 points. What about this season? It wasn't much better, scoring 93.1 points per game, conceding 99.1 points per game, and the difference between wins and losses reached 6.0 points. Of course, it's all negative, it's all negative.
It stands to reason that this season the New Jersey Nets have All-Star guard Delon Brown. Williams's addition should be stronger, why can't he see any improvement?
In addition to the problem of running in the lineup, it is that the coaching style of "Little General" Johnson is not suitable for this team.
Avery. Johnson's coaching style is one of extreme control, and his tactical style is one-on-one, single-and-single.
Look at the scene in Dallas back then, the Mavericks entered the Finals in the second year after taking over the team, and that kind of scenery is unique among the new coaches. He is the coach of the "Spurs", so the team's overall tactical execution is very impressive, and the 81.7% regular season win rate that year is the highest in the entire league. But Avery . Johnson has an obvious flaw, that is, there are too few tactical dry goods, which directly leads to his on-the-spot command ability to change formations on the spot, which is relatively weak. Especially in the season when it was "Black Eight", as the top seed team in the league, playing the series was exactly the same as playing the regular season, and there was no flexibility. Therefore, as soon as the opponent understands this fixed routine, it is inevitable that the Mavericks will lose.
And when he came to New Jersey, he still had to play that set of misplaced individual tactics, but I'm sorry, the Nets don't have Nowitzki, the Nets don't have Josh, and the Nets don't have Starkerhouse. Delong. Williams was with Chris at this time. Paul's famous "point guard duo" is absolutely capable of being a bargain. But Avery . Johnson forgot, no matter how good the ability is, Delon is also a point guard, as a famous No. 1 position for playing block, you let him hold a lot of the ball and play alone, the effect can be imagined. And this season, DeLong and the main center Brooke. López has had injuries one after another, and the former is not bad, with stop-and-go and a passable attendance. The latter was miserable, as he suffered a stress fracture in his right foot and was reimbursed for the entire season.
The New Jersey was still waiting for this season to combine inside and out, with Lopez on the inside and Delon on on the outside. Williams's. But Lopez's early injury retirement made the New Jersey Nets' hard power fall to the bottom in an instant. Without a main interior player who can contribute an average of 20+6+1.5 per game last season, it is understandable that the Nets' record this season has been outside the top eight in the East.
But the fans don't care about that, so the first person to bear the brunt of the outrage is head coach Avery . Johnson.
In the face of an extremely bad record, the call for his "dismissal" is getting louder and louder.
For Delong. Williams, a player, Tang Qian has always loved and hated.
Love is to love his style of play, the kind of point guard mode with both strength and speed, which makes Tang Qian like to watch him play.
Hate is to hate him in Salt Lake City, because he and Boozer have blocked the footsteps of the Eastern Giants in the playoffs many times.
Don't look at Delong now. Williams is going to "realize his dream" this summer and get a big contract worth $98 million for five years, but this big contract is also the beginning of his decline. In the 2015-2016 season, the 31-year-old point guard has completely withdrawn from the first-tier or even second-tier role. The momentary friendship with Paul has also become a thing of the past, and no one mentions it anymore.
And Tang Qian knew one of the root causes of his rapid decline, so tonight, he was ready to give the other party a "wake-up".
"Hello Williams, I'm the hot money of the Lakers, and it's nice to see you tonight." Tang Qian took advantage of the time before the start of the game and took the initiative to walk over and say hello to Delong.
"Hot money? Your name ...... "Delong. Williams thought for a moment and said, "Are you Chinese?" ”
“of.course。” Tang Qian nodded and said, "I am Chinese. ”
"Oh, then it looks like you're Yao's compatriot, right?" For the old opponent Yao Ming, Delong. Williams was visibly impressed.
"Mr. Williams, your left ankle synovitis should have been treated sooner, and surgery is the best option." The other party said inexplicably, so that Delong. Williams frowned slightly and asked, "How do you know about this?" Do you have an inside role in our team? ”
In the NBA, the injury information of players is generally confidential, and unless the team officially announces it itself, outsiders don't want to know about it. And this left ankle synovitis, DeLong remembers that it was not announced, how did he know about it, a player from outside the team?
Could it be that there is a friend in the team doctor?
"It doesn't matter how I know, Mr. Williams, it's not a good idea to be honest that you've dragged on since 2008." Tang Qian said: "The injection of sodium hyaluronate can only keep the deterioration delayed, and if you want to completely eradicate this injury, the only way is surgery." Otherwise......" Tang Qian looked at Delong. Williams, after a pause, said: "There are more injuries that follow, but this is not the only one. ”
After speaking, without waiting for the other party to reply, Tang Qian turned around and went back to the Lakers' halfcourt.
Only a slightly dazed Delong was left. Williams, long in place.
Call~
I have already done what I can do, and as for whether Delong listens to it in the end, it is not something I can control.
This is a game with a huge disparity in strength, even if the Lakers also injured a Bynum, the book strength is still a few points higher than the current Nets team. Due to the absence of Brooke. Lopez, the Nets' interior lineup for this game is power forward Chris. Humphries and center Johan. Petro. The combined strength of these two people, to be honest, is very poor. Chris. Humphries is a little better, after all, he has a career-high rebounding stats this season, ranks fifth in the league, and averages 11.0 rebounds per game. Qiao Han. Petro is one of them, as he has been somewhere between fringe and regular rotation in the NBA, averaging just 4.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.4 blocks per game this season.
If it weren't for Lopez's injury this season, the Nets would not have been able to use him, and it would not be his turn to start tonight.
It was almost a game without suspense, the Lakers pressed the Nets as soon as they came up, and Kobe Gasol combined to score 30 points in the first half of the game. Ramon, who has not performed much before. Sessions also played a "highlight" in this game, scoring 12 points, 8 assists and 3 rebounds in two quarters, which can be called a complete victory over the opponent Delon. Williams. Compared with Sessions' "bravery", Delon had 6 points, 4 assists and 0 rebounds in the half, and his shooting rate was 25%, which was undoubtedly inferior.
As for Tang Qian, he got 5 points, 7 rebounds, 1 block and 5 assists in the half.
Looks pretty good.
But Tang Qian's face was not good-looking.
Because in the first half he had already used up the bronze magic pass card.
But the assist figure is still only 5.
In the second half of the game, Tang Qian tried his best to brush up on assists, but after the whole game, his assists were still fixed at 5.
At this time, Tang Qian understood why Yao Ming's career assist data was only 1.6, and it was too difficult to brush up on assists as a center insider. In the end, Tang Qian's statistics in this game were 9 points, 11 rebounds, 1 block and 5 assists.
Obviously, this challenge is dangerous.
After the game, Tang Qian entered the "different space" and took a look, and there were a few big words written on the "calendar board":
Unqualified!
"Today in History" challenge failed!
