At 39-25 in the first quarter, the Lakers led by 14 points, which was still a good situation for the Rockets to come off the bench and score several difficult goals. But even so, it still trails the Los Angeles Lakers by as many as 14 points. Under Nash's assignment, the Lakers' players all scored, and this feeling made people feel like they were addicted to drugs.

I can't quit if I want to.

In the second half, Tang Qian rested, and Howard took the opportunity to rise up and make waves, so that Gasol was almost paralyzed.

It's not that Gasol is not performing well, it's just that Howard, who is in the playoffs this year, is really in a good state and explosive.

In the first round, 26 + 13.7 + 2.8 + 1.8, close to 55% of the shooting rate is not covered.

Compared to his regular season, I don't know how much it has improved.

This made Howard feel like a divine help, and all the work was a bit psychic.

Seeing that Howard played another 2+1 and made free throws, Mike. D'Antoni frowned, he originally wanted to reprimand Gasol, after all, the person he originally disliked the most was Gasol. This seems to be true both in the original plane and in the present plane. The main reason is that Paul. As Gasol gets older, he no longer fits the former's "seven seconds or less" running theory, and as long as he is there, the team's overall offensive and defensive speed is bound to be dragged down.

In fact, Gasol himself knows this problem, and he can't solve this contradiction. So......

He eventually opted to join the Chicago Bulls.

Why the Bulls? This is also elegant, not chosen by Gasol randomly. What's sophisticated? That's the Bulls' offensive and defensive tempo and offensive and defensive speed are among the slowest in the entire league. And slow, which is in line with Gasol's own needs at this age, can play better and more comfortably.

Therefore, the deepest root of his discord with D'Antoni is the mismatch between tactics and playing style.

So the two sides are a little repulsive, which is a matter of course.

But at this time, Tang Qian stood up and spoke to stop Mike. D'Antoni said: "Sir, let me play, I am very unhappy to see that 'Monster' in the mountain without a tiger and monkey to be the king!" ”

"But it's hot, even if you have a break in the first quarter, it's still too early, and I have to make sure you keep your fitness in the second half, otherwise it's not worth it." Ever since D'Antoni topped the league and won the Coach of the Year award, he has been thinking about the possibility of the Lakers winning the championship this season. It's funny to say, D'Antoni himself is a little embarrassed, as a head coach, he actually entered the state so late, which is also a strange situation in history.

But when he got into the groove, his thinking began to change.

Everything is for the sake of victory, and efforts are made to break through to the west.

Tang Qian knew D'Antoni's worries, but he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. D'Antoni, this game will not reach the final situation." I promise. ”

……

Domestically, the sports station of Tianjian Dynasty, I haven't seen it for a long time, and it is finally allowed to broadcast the Lakers' live games.

It's a sign for some, but for pure basketball fans, it's just a blessing.

For example, the current "Zhang Lili" Zhang Weiping, he is one of them.

This old man is really a person who has dedicated his life to Chinese basketball, and he is a person who truly loves the sport of basketball.

You can like something for five years or even ten years, but what about twenty Chinese New Year's Eve, forty years or even a lifetime?

Do you dare to pat your chest now and say that you will like what you like now for the rest of your life?

You don't need to tell me the answer, you just need to know it in your own heart.

And the historical status of the national team is second only to Yao Ming, second only to Yao Ming, okay? The first place in the total score of the year at the World Championships! And won the honor of the World Championships is not the Asian Championships, the scoring champion, and was crowned the title of sharpshooter. (At that time, the king of statistics was not to look at the average data per game, but to look at the total number, which was the same in the NBA back then) Do you think that now the Chinese men's basketball team, who can still win the World Championships in one fell swoop, no, now is the World Cup, win the title of scoring champion? The World Championships' 25.2 points were not broken by Yao Ming until 2006. In other words, before 2006, Zhang Lili was the first scorer of the national men's basketball team!

But when did you hear him himself brag about this? I guess if I don't popularize science a little, many people don't know that this slightly annoying old man's player career is so awesome.

"Look at it according to this...... Oh? Director Zhang, you see, it seems that Tang Qian has been replaced. Meteor Shower said.

"I changed it so early, well, it's a little early, I ...... every game of Tang Qian" Before Zhang Li finished speaking, the meteor shower coughed slightly, as if reminding something. This is also normal, after all, the Lakers lifted the ban, or a recent thing, your old man said that you watched every game, isn't that a bit "excessive" and a little "unfriendly". Hearing such a "reminder" from the meteor shower, Zhang Weiping also reacted, quickly skipped this place, and continued: "Tang Qian has a big problem, which is also a common problem of our Chinese athletes, that is, physical fitness problems. Generally speaking, he keeps 30~32 minutes of time efficient and plays normally, which is no problem, but once it is exceeded, the efficiency is greatly discounted. D'Antoni's substitution is a bit early. ”

This old man used to be absolutely biased towards Yao Ming, but now...... found a new object, and began to favor the Lakers' No. 29, center Tang Qian. So with a simple substitution, he thought of so many places.

This is absolutely impossible without paying close attention to Tang Qian's game.

Back then, after he saw Chen Jianghua, it didn't take long for him to conclude that Chen Jianghua was talented, but he was lazy about basic skills training and physical fitness training. The result? Chen Jianghua just fell in this place, the basic skills are not enough, which leads to a high proportion of mistakes, and he can't bear the heavy responsibility at critical moments, and his physical fitness training is insufficient, so his confrontation and strength are insufficient, and the confrontation with adults is easy to get injured. I didn't expect it to be all said by Zhang Weiping.

This vision, the domestic basketball world, is definitely very strong and poisonous.

Therefore, he was very concerned about Tang Qian, who was far away on the other side of the ocean, and was not only surprised by the latter's growth rate, but also worried that his body was easy to bear, and it was easy to have injuries similar to Chen Jianghua or Yao Ming. Not tolerant enough, this is a natural flaw of yellow athletes, who are worried that D'Antoni is eager to win and overdrawn.

"But now that Howard is in good shape, Gasol can't fight against it, so he can only replace Tang Qian. After all, Tang Qian's statistics against Howard in the regular season have a big advantage. D'Antoni must have had this in mind. Zhang Weiping said: "This is a targeted substitution, the purpose is to curb the state of the Rockets center, let's see if it can work." ”

With 5 minutes and 15 seconds left in the second quarter, Tang Qian returned to the court.

When he saw Howard, he grinned directly: "Okay, your show time is over, now it's my turn." ”

"Damn, don't be crazy! I'm not the regular season me anymore! Howard was a little annoyed when he saw Tang Qian.

"I know, you're doing well, you're in good shape, but you just can't beat me." Tang Qian smiled: "We, the Chinese center, have a tradition of restraining you." ”

Damn it!!! I'm going to blow him up!! This bastard!!

Because of Howard's performance, the Rockets have caught up with the score difference during this time, so he asked for the ball, and the Rockets players did not give it.

Hmph, isn't it just in good shape, this Oriental guy is not so easy to deal with!

Harden stood in the bottom corner, a little depressed thinking, in fact, he is venting, but who knows that it is a bit of a "dream come true".

Yes, Howard is a big hit, but the first time he played against Tang Qian in the playoffs, he was hit by a big hat.

In the broadcast room of the domestic sports station, Zhang Weiping and Meteor Shower were watching carefully, and at the same time kept explaining in their mouths:

"Howard started playing low singles, and he's in great shape for the playoffs this year, well beyond his regular-season form. Back hit, Tang Qian didn't resist, Howard ate into a better position! Although Tang Qian's bench press is already very strong, on par with Howard, his tonnage is still at a loss. Howard has reached around 288 pounds this year since the last year of the Magic! This is definitely heavy at his height! I remember that Tang Qian's current weight is 269 pounds, which is much heavier than when he joined the league three years ago, but in the face of Howard this season, it is still a little difficult! Zhang Weiping's explanation is correct, Howard has now reached his maximum weight, and after this period of time, he will slowly fall off because the load is too great. Even he wasn't so comfortable.

Really, gaining weight, or "hanging muscles", really doesn't mean that you can increase it if you want to, but also consider whether your body can withstand it in the end. Like Yao Ming and Bynum, all of them gained more weight than the body could bear, so they quickly consumed the "origin" of the body. It didn't take long for Howard to feel that in fact, next season, and Howard would be physically overwhelmed and collapsed. Only played 40+ games all season.

The body is a whole, and the greater the consumption of the body, the more likely it is to have injuries.

So even Howard couldn't sustain a 290+ pound season, and now you can see what it's like to increase to 290+ or even 300+ pounds while maintaining athletic ability. This is also the "rule of high scores", and each additional point after 90 points will increase the difficulty by 10 points compared to before, which is completely different. Of course, power and destructive power are also very different.

This season's peak weight is indeed Howard's peak, infinitely close to 290 pounds, so after the playoffs gave him enough balls, he can be called offensive and defensive domination in both the original and current planes. At least for the time being, absolutely.

Approaching 26 points, 14 rebounds, and 3 blocks, do you think an average center can play it?

Not to mention that the hit rate is close to 55%! This is all a reflection of strength!

This season's Howard is the peak version of Howard in strength and size. Although his physical fitness and explosiveness have declined to a certain extent compared to his peak, he can make up for it with strength and tonnage, and he has once again reached a peak of his career.

At the same time, it is also the last peak.

After losing weight, the advantages in strength and tonnage are not obvious, and the physical fitness and explosiveness are not as good as before, so the "Warcraft" completely disappeared in the long river of history. So this season, it's considered Dwight. Howard's last personal pinnacle.

It means the pinnacle form of offense and defense.

The 13-14 season was his last and his swan song.

But Tang Qian was not afraid, because ...... Eat, sleep, and fight monsters!!

Sure enough, as soon as he touched Howard, it was easy to explode and it was easy to get into the groove.

It's an indescribable feeling, like he was born to be the other party's nemesis.

Howard was squeezed in, but after the shot, Don dropped the ball.

Howard has exploded, why is it still covered? What about demons? Of course, the demons are still there, but the Lakers' No. 29 is very easy and naturally enters the "Defensive The.Zone". As a result, 16% of the "demons" weakened and soon seemed to cease to exist.

And it's a far better state.

"What a beautiful cap! Tang Qian's capping ability is really strong, and he deserves to be this year's DPOY! Meteor Shower said in the live broadcast room. Yes, the ball is not easy to block, and Howard has squeezed into a good position, but he is still capped. Zhang Weiping said: "After Tang Qian returned to the inside line, it was completely different from the previous round of playing the Mavericks. ”

"Do you have a hunch that Tang Qian will defeat Howard?" Meteor Shower asked.

"It's hard to say, Howard's state is obviously much higher than in the regular season, and Tang Qian also needs to be careful to deal with it." As he was talking, Tang Qian blocked Howard again, although it was not a block, but it was also a successful interference.

"This ball is beautiful! Tang Qian is really the best defensive player! Can this ball be defended? That's great! Just now I was talking about being careful and paying attention, and all of a sudden, "Zhang Lili" became a "fan brother" and explained loudly. How similar is this scene to when Yao Ming was in Team Rocket?

It doesn't matter if he's a Komi or a Zen Tan, there's one thing absolute.

In his heart, the Chinese players are his first priority.

There is absolutely no substitute.

"I've said it all, your show time is over, it's time to change me." After Tang sneaked down the ball, he opened his mouth and laughed at Howard, his expression relaxed and calm, slightly sarcastic and bantering.

Seeing Tang Qian's appearance, Howard was a little crazy, because in his heart, he was desperate to defeat his opponent.

Regardless of the regular season, the playoffs are the best stage for proof.

As long as the playoffs are defeated head-on, then it can be regarded as breaking the "inertia" and "common sense" of this people.

"Don't get complacent too early, you oriental...... Oriental!!! Howard gritted his teeth a little, and his dislike for Tang Qian was raised to MAX again.
