Chapter 1254 It's Not a Simple Regular Season (10,000 Words Explosion Completed to Ask for Support~)
Gasol and Tang Qian exchanged a little after the game, and no one knew what they said. But there are some things that still make Gasol quite moved. He's about to end his contract here, and then he's going to be a full free agent. Everyone knows what it means to be a free agent. You can join any team you want, there are no restrictions at all. And Gasol has repeatedly stated that he wants to join a team that can win championships, and the Bulls were what he was optimistic about at the time. The Lakers retired at that time, Kobe Nash's strength plummeted, and D'Antoni's system was extremely unsuitable for him, he liked a slow pace, and the Lakers were tantamount to a rebuild, so it was understandable for him to leave. After all, he didn't know how long he could play, just for the last fight of his career. Who knows, he came to the Bulls but became a thigh by himself, not to mention that he has been an All-Star in a row, and he is still in good shape, which is equivalent to a second spring. At the same time, the Bulls fell into a low ebb, and the Lakers went all the way up, and switched from extremely fast to another extreme.
In this way, Gasol is a little moved, although he is a substitute, he still needs to struggle with himself.
But what Lakers fans do to him, he knows very well in his heart, he also likes the Lakers, and now the management has completely changed and has become a more humane "trio". In this way, Gasol really does not resist returning to the Lakers.
The salary cap will skyrocket next year, and the Lakers will sign him, which is a trivial matter, and if Bosh's situation is not optimistic, he can also go in and add it. Gasol, you don't think he's not as mobile as Bosh, but he's an inside player with a long shot. The distance in his career has reached more than 4 into 1, and the accuracy of the 16~23 foot medium and long distance basket has broken through 4 into 3! Although he has more space requirements than Bosh, he is also a good spot shooter, and Gasol has also practiced 3-pointers in the future. In this case, coupled with Gasol's interior offense and defense and organizational strategy, being on the bench is definitely a big help.
Of course, the most important thing is that you can take it without paying any price, and there is nothing bad about it.
If you can mix a few more rings, and they are all won by the Lakers, it will definitely be a safe Hall of Fame + jersey retirement. And you know, the Hall of Fame is good to say, and it is definitely not an easy thing to retire a jersey with the Los Angeles Lakers. This is one of the biggest and most profound teams in NBA history, and it is not a well-known name to be able to leave a jersey here.
Returning as a veteran, this season, he should basically be the Eastern Conference backup All-Star position this year, and going back in this capacity is definitely worthy of everyone on the Lakers. No one will say that he is going to retire. This season, he is a ruthless master with an average of 16+11+4+2 per game. How many insiders can get this data now? Especially 4 assists and 2 blocks, absolutely powerful.
If you go back, it's a big hit.
So after Gasol had just spoken to Tang Qian, it was a little fluctuating.
Although there wasn't much conversation, Tang Qian's seemingly joking "Do you want to go home"? He was quite touched.
However, Tang Qian did not have much hope, because Gasol still has such strong statistics this season, he must be selected into the All-Star bench lineup, and it is estimated that it will not be so easy for him to play as a substitute for the Lakers. But he still lived too short in his previous life, otherwise he would definitely know that the original space-time Gasol joined the Spurs, but he happily accepted the substitute position, and the playing time was greatly shortened.
Since you can play as a substitute when you join the Spurs, why can't you return to the Lakers? With him on the bench, the offense of the entire substitute will definitely be raised to a higher level. In that case, one of the strongest bench lineups in the league will definitely have no problem.
Rose was a little annoyed and embarrassed after the game, and he had a stinky face throughout the interview, well, he played so badly, and he deserved it. Because the questions asked by the Los Angeles media also made him angry. The most important thing is that he was suppressed by Butler, the former little brother, offensively and defensively, which is really, extremely humiliating. So Rose's face, black black black.
Tang Qian once again praised Butler's role, and he began to say directly: Butler is definitely qualified to compete for the league's best forward swingman! With him, it's the luck of the Lakers!
After the victory over the Bulls, it was a back-to-back directly, and although it was an away game, the Lakers didn't have to move the place at all. Because, the away game, also in Los Angeles, is also in the Staples Center. Since it is Staples, then the opponent is about to come out. City derby, Los Angeles, Clippers.
After the victory over the Bulls, the Lakers are currently on a winning streak with a 39-10 record.
Although it's still not as good as the Warriors and Spurs, there's no way, these two guys are too perverted, and they are both single-digit losses. But the team has also secured the third place in the West through the recent wave of consecutive wins. What about the same city clippers opposite? Hey, it's not weak, it's currently 30-16, fifth in the West. The main reason is that the competition in the west is too fierce, and if this record is placed in the east, then it can at least rank third in the east. Alas, hating yourself for not being in the east.
The Clippers haven't changed much in their style of play in recent seasons, it's just the same old move. In other words, the so-called three All-Stars of Paul + Griffin + Jordan Jr., you can also call them the "Big Three". This lineup can be described as capable of both inside and out, offensive and defensive all-round. You have to know that these people are not the most ordinary All-Stars, they are all defensive and best team. This kind of all-star is very valuable.
At least it's much better than the kind of star player who only has an All-Star team but doesn't have the All-Star Team or the All-Defensive Team.
The three All-Stars led the team to start, and there were a number of bench bandits on the bench, this lineup, if you really want to compare, there are few in the league that are better than them. It stands to reason that it's been running in for so long, so it's not so bad. As a result, he didn't make it to the Western Conference Finals once. So, their performance proves that they are a strong team all year round, and they all look like they have a luxurious squad and are qualified to compete for the championship. As a result, there is no year that has really been favored by others, and it is not weak when it is strong, and it is not strong when it is weak. I remember that one of the most frequent Q&A questions about the Clippers on the Internet over the years is, why does the Clippers seem to have a good lineup, but they always can't get results?
This question could have been asked for many years since Paul came.
The funny thing is that Paul has his own "aura of Western Defiance".
To be serious, their team boss, the all-time high-level data king at No. 1, is Chris. Paul, as the core boss, has limited ability to lead the team. In fact, the No. 1 position led the team, which was originally a "sinkhole". Why? To put it simply, this problem exists much longer than the previous problem with the Clippers. Countless coquettish point guard masters seem to be leading the team by themselves, and they can't pass this "ghost gate". Nash, Kidd, Delon, Paul, Rose, etc., etc., a group of outstanding boss point guards have brushed up all kinds of honors and records in the NBA, that is...... I can't touch that golden Larry. O'Brien Cup. Including Curry in the original time and space, it seems that he is more unlucky, as the boss, but he was taken away by his teammates FMVP, which made many sunspots directly claim that Curry is not the boss of the team at all. So the question escalates to why it is so difficult for point guards to lead the team to get FMVP. Who was last time? Is it "The Smiling Assassin" Thomas? Is it the famous "Magic" Johnson? Actually, many people have forgotten, and there are a few in the middle, it is Billups, it is Parker.
But they were too inconspicuous at the time, and the data was not prominent, so it was easy to be forgotten.
They also can't afford to be called a super point guard and a master of point guards. There's no problem with being excellent and first-class, super and master, that's pretty much the point. The point is, many people think that they were not the ones who led the team back then. Their role as a team is not so unique and important.
But this is precisely the case that Billups and Parker started in the 90s and continued until 2018, with the only two exceptions.
Cause? In fact, it's not that complicated, just because they are not so "important", so they took FMVP.
What? Tease you? Not. Super point guards and point guard masters like to do the most is to concentrate the ball and control a lot of the team's possession. They don't have much to do, but they have to keep the ball. But in the playoffs, with the change of confrontation and scale, it is actually a hard injury. You can't deny that the point guard's ability to take over the game on his own is inherently a bit weak. Even if this is as strong as Curry, it seems that it is also in the playoffs, and it is often declining, which is not much different from the insolvability of the regular season.
Secondly and most importantly, since the super point guard masters have a lot of possession, once he is blocked, you think about the outcome. The result is far more terrifying than a single scoring point being defended. If you don't get it right, the team will collapse directly. So curbing these super point guards is sometimes equivalent to containing the opponent's entire team. There may even be an "embarrassing" situation where you suddenly won't play.
This is the result of relying too much on the No. 1 position.
So in many cases, the less you control, the more point guards who don't play so much in the team, the easier it is to win FMVP. Because you don't control so much, the role is not so heavy, which means that you prevent him and trap him, and the team has other ways to break the game and not be paralyzed.
Of course, there are more minor problems, but the main one is the core of their team, Chris. Paul.
Paul has controlled too much, and his ability to take over the playoffs is insufficient, so for so many years, the so-called high-level data is so luxurious, but the team can't even touch the division finals. This season, the Clippers have reached the point where they have to break through, otherwise, the fans and management will probably not be able to bear it. If you keep standing still, you might as well push it back and start over.
The Clippers are running out of opportunities, and neither is Paul.
And this game, to a large extent, affected the historical nodes of the entire original time and space.
What is it, well, keep watching and find out~
"Chris, I'm sorry, our Lakers have risen. Your chances are gone. Tang Qian played 6 games against the Clippers in the Western Conference semifinals last year, and the data was also the worst round in the entire 3 rounds last year. After 6 games, he only averaged 11 points, 15.7 rebounds, 7.2 blocks and 1.8 assists per game. Compared with the 29 points, 26.3 rebounds, 10 blocks, 1 assist and 0.3 steals against the Houston Rockets in the first round, it is a far cry from the 40.2 points per game against the Warriors in the Western Conference finals. Of course, there are also objective conditions, playing the Rocket Team is a metaphysical bonus to the unlucky "Warcraft", and playing the Warriors is directly opening the "God Descending to Earth". But in any case, 11 points, 15.7 rebounds, 7.2 blocks and 1.8 assists are still lower than last year's average for Tang Qian.
However, this year is completely different from last year, the Lakers' team system has changed significantly, and there is also the fact that Tang Qian's personal ability, especially his personal attacking ability, has been judged as two. The Clippers don't want to limit him so easily. And last year, the Lakers' No. 1 position Paul could easily break, this year, absolutely impossible. Rondo's defense has a tendency to return to its peak this season, and it is definitely not comparable to last year's Jeremy Lin. It's not so easy for Paul to fight. Rondo and Paul naturally can't do it, but the Lakers don't need Rondo to do it, as long as they can suppress and weaken the Clippers' No. 1 position. Once the Clippers don't have Paul's strong play, they are basically not far from losing. And the counterpoint data shows that Paul played Rondo, and the shooting percentage did drop a lot. Let's put it this way, if Rondo had replaced Jeremy Lin last year, the scoring might have been worse, but it would definitely be better to limit Paul, so the Clippers and Lakers would not have been in Game 6.
It is no longer realistic to want to rob the Lakers of an unstable foothold and a quick defensive counterattack.
Larry. Brown is not Mike. D'Antoni, believe it or not, you can give it a try.
Of course, Paul will not show weakness easily, and countered by saying: "It doesn't matter if it rises or not, there will only be one king in Los Angeles in the future." ”
Tang Qian also smiled: "That's right, there must be only one, but it's not you." ”
"Come then."
"Come on."
No one knew that this game, which seemed to be a simple regular season, would have so many changes and chain reactions.
