Chapter 125: Frustration (I)

Oriental?

Nash remembered Linsanity, who has been in the limelight lately, and smiled: "Recently, there have been more and more faces in the NBA." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Of course, Tang Qian knew what he was referring to, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Nash, don't joke with me, I'm still far from Lin Bi now." ”

"It's okay." Nash helped Tang Qian write a signature and smiled, "After all, you're still young, aren't you?" Youth is the greatest capital. ”

Somehow, Tang Qian saw that although Nash was smiling, there was a faint sadness in the depths of his smile.

Steve. Nash, who joined the NBA in the 96-97 season, announced his retirement in the 14-15 season (although he did not play this season), played in the NBA for 19 years, and throughout his career, a championship was hard to find.

This was the information that automatically appeared in Tang Qian's mind.

For this Canadian point guard master, Tang Qian has always respected and liked his style of play very much, but unfortunately in 19 years, he also followed Charles. Barkley's footsteps, regrettable exit.

Not winning a championship ring is the biggest career failure for any NBA superstar.

Although Tang Qian knew that in the end, the Lakers formed another "F4", but unfortunately, injuries, internal friction, and incompatibility easily pierced this luxurious coat. "Son of the Wind" Nash also retired on March 22, 2015.

"Mr. Nash, don't give up chasing your dreams, Gary. Didn't Payton just wait for a championship ring? Tang Qian put away his signature, and then said to the "Son of the Wind".

"yes, Gary is a lucky guy, isn't he?" Steve. Nash just smiled, but didn't say anything.

Because now he is not ready to leave Phoenix.

I'm 38 years old, can I still chase that dream?

Steve. Nash thought silently.

After some warm-ups, the starting lineups of both sides began to appear.

Phoenix Suns starting lineup: Marcin. Gortat, Steve. Nash, Grant. Hill, Jalaid. Dudley, Channing. Fry.

The starting player for the Los Angeles Lakers is: Kobe Bryant. Bryant, Andrew. Bynum, Derek. Fisher, Paul. Gasol, and charity. World. Peace.

With the win over Atlanta, the Lakers' record has improved even further, and they are now 17-12. However, they want to be in the top three in the West. They still have to work hard.

Compared with the "sluggish performance" of the previous game, the Black Mamba has begun to recover in this game. In just the first half, Kobe Bryant. Bryant finished with 14 points and three rebounds on 4-of-8 shooting and six free throws. Comprehensive stats of 3 assists. The owner of the nunnery also performed well, scoring 10 points and 4 rebounds on 5-of-8 shooting. But the most unexpected thing is that Matt. Barnes shot 4-of-4 from beyond the three-point line. He scored 12 points on 100 percent shooting. You must know that although Barnes has the ability to shoot three-pointers, but he shot 4 of 4, it is still a bit of luck. It's a pity that the Spaniard's performance is average, otherwise the Lakers would have more than a 6-point lead.

On the opposite side of Phoenix, except for Nash's 11 assists and Gortat's 14+9, the rest of the players are mediocre and unsatisfactory.

"Very good, if this game is won, then it will be one less win away from Memphis! Top three in the West. Sight! Kobe Bryant said loudly in the locker room, the Lakers' locker room is a very strange place, usually Kobe Bryant is in charge of a good job, but the real crisis, it is the "old fish" Fisher who stands up and speaks. But look at tonight, Derek. Fisher doesn't need to "step up."

"Hot, how am I doing tonight? 3 points 100%! "Matt. Barnes leaned over to Tang Qian's side and asked.

"Well, it's amazing, I can't do it anyway." Tang Qiandao.

"Hi~ Don't be modest, I've learned your interior defensive ability. The absolute NBA starting level, especially the blocks, is even better than Andrew and Paul! "Matt. Barnes said.

"You think too highly of me." Tang Qian shook his head and said: "The opponent is the elderly version of Dampier, which is about the same, dealing with people with more than 10+ points." It's hard for me to be so outstanding. ”

"You're too presumptuous, aren't you?" Matt. Barnes said.

Tang Qian shook his head and didn't say anything more, because after the bullfight with the owner of the nunnery, he fully realized what NBA-level offensive ability was. If it weren't for the fact that he had inspired a state of rage, that game. He probably won't win.

And what is the score of the owner of the nunnery? This season is the peak of his career, but he only averages 18.7 points per game, not even 20+, and it can only last for one season. Compared with those characters who are 20+ in several seasons or even 20+ in the last ten seasons, they are like porcupines, which is unsightly.

So he said this, not modestly, but self-aware.

Maybe if you improve your own defense crystal brick, the situation will be different, right?

Tang Qian thought so.

At the beginning of the third quarter, because the overall nature of the Suns is biased towards strong offense and weak defense, the Lakers scored points without any effort at all. Kobe Bryant alone "shot up" in the third quarter, shooting 8 of 12 and scoring 18 points with a 66.7% shooting rate, looking at this appearance, it seems that he is running for 40+ tonight.

"Damn it! How do they shoot so accurately? I've got it all on my face, and they can still throw it in! I'm so! "Jalaid. Dudley complained loudly from the bench as soon as he came off the court.

"Forget it, I'll be the one to keep an eye on Kobe Bryant later! His feel tonight looks smooth, and it's normal that you can't prevent it! "Phoenix veteran Grant. Hill Dow.

"Defending him is too much of a burden for you, and we will need you later." Steve. Nash and Kobe Bryant are also old rivals, and the repeated encounters in the Western Conference playoffs have made him understand how terrible this man is.

"It's okay, Steve, after all, now that Raga is gone, no one else is suitable except me." Grant. Hill said indifferently, he is 72 years old, and he is now close to 40 years old, and there is nothing to brush up on the data.

"Well, okay then, Kobe Bryant will leave it to you." Steve. Nash thought about it. Nodding his head.

Tonight, the state of the nunnery master is very good, and Murphy's head is also very good, Tang Qian looked at Mike at the front of the bench. Brown. I said in my heart, maybe tonight, I won't be able to get a chance to play.

As a "ten-day player", it's not uncommon to get a minute of playing time in a game.

But with 5 minutes and 30 seconds left in the fourth quarter. An accident changed Tang Qian's mind.

Andrew. Bynum twisted his foot.

This ankle sprain can be big or small, light or severe, some people, such as LeBron, twist the ankle and kick the ground hard, and then they can continue to play, but some people once they twist their foot. Days, if not weeks, could not be relieved.

This is resistant. There is indeed a difference in the ability to.

The owner of the nunnery rolled on the floor several times, but he never got up.

There was no way, the referee had no choice but to pause the game and let the Lakers' team doctor come forward to check on it.

After some examination, the Lakers team doctor shook his head and said: "The injury may be a little serious, I hope it doesn't hurt the ligament, this game, he can't continue to compete." ”

Mike. Brown after a brief moment of thought. Decided to let Troy. Murphy came off the bench.

Troy. When Murphy heard this, he was happy, and hurriedly turned to Mike. Brown slapped a couple of sycophants, and then ran up with a "fart". Let's be honest. Tang Qian originally had a trace of fantasy, but unfortunately Mike. Brown has never believed much in the so-called yellow center.

But Troy. Murphy failed Mike. Brown's trust, played less than 2 minutes, but was poured a 9-pointer by the opponent, which made Kobe Bryant. Bryant asked for a timeout directly on the court.

"shi.t~Troy. Are you up there to be funny??? Kobe Bryant shouted at Murphy as soon as he came: "If you can't shoot, forget it, what does it mean to be poured 3 3-pointers in a row by the opponent??? Do you want our Lakers to lose tonight??? ”

Kobe Bryant was originally indifferent to this New Jersey native, and now he is still being used as an "ATM" by the other party, where can the black mamba endure it? So as soon as I walked to the bench, I was "scolded" with a stinking face.

Tang Qian sat on the field and watched, these balls were indeed to Lytroy. Murphy.

Why? Because he wanted to perform too much on the offensive end, he caused the defensive end to be slack, and "he couldn't work hard".

Well, if he had a good hand, it would have been fine, but in less than 2 minutes, he missed all 3 shots, and he didn't have the courage of the first half at all.

Troy. Murphy was reprimanded by Kobe Bryant, and he didn't dare to say a word, because his opponent Channing. Frye, in a row, slashed several 3-pointers on his head, which gave the Lakers the lead and disappeared by more than half in an instant. The reason why Kobe Bryant is so angry is also because of this, even if the Suns have "gone down", they are still a small-ball team that plays "run and bomb". And what are the characteristics of the "run-and-bomb" team? Just be able to score! It's just chasing points fast! Don't look at the Lakers who are still ahead of the other party, if you are not careful, you may be overturned by the opponent and swallow the bitter fruit on your side.

Actually, the Suns' Channing. Frye, and Troy. The Murphy player template is very similar.

They are also 211CM big men, and they don't like hand-to-hand combat on the inside, and they also have a good medium and long range projection technology. If Troy. Murphy is still in his prime, so he is definitely better than Channing. Frye is powerful, not to mention the offensive end, he is several levels better than the latter in rebounding on the defensive end. Murphy is also a 10+ rebounder, and more than one season. QIAN Ning. Frye's peak season of rebounding was just 6.7 per game. The two are superior and can be seen clearly at a glance. It's a pity that that's according to the pinnacle, and now Troy. Murphy, the rebounding skill is completely useless, even better than Channing. Frye was much weaker. That's the cruel law of competitive sports, you can't stay at the top for the rest of your life.

If it's not an NBA game, if Troy. Murphy was just a spectator, so he looked at Channing. Frye, for sure, "has a shadow of his own youth."

"Bryant, these shots are indeed Troy's mistakes, you give him another chance, I'm sure he ......" Mike. Before Brown finished speaking, Kobe Bryant glared at him and said, "Give him a chance?" Coach Brown, don't you want to win tonight? ”

"This ...... Of course not. "Mike. Brown paused a little awkwardly and said, "So what are you going to do?" ”

Mike. Brown's old habit of compromising with his star is a bad habit he has since developed in Cleveland.

Kobe Bryant hasn't spoken yet, Matt. Barnes plugged in. "Let's get hot, Bryant, how about it?" We need to step up defensively. ”

Kobe Bryant pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, that's good, just let him try it on the court." ”

PS: Tomorrow is Kobe's farewell performance, no matter how dark it is, cheer for him, because this time, it's really the last one. If you want to watch the Lakers No. 24 in the future, you can only go to the video~~~ (To be continued.) )
