Chapter 573: Horace. Grant event (for Gong Burning, a big reward plus more~)

In the end, Jamison was still "unconvinced", so he did not play again. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Interestingly, throughout the confrontation, head coach Mike. D'Antoni did not stand up to "preside over the overall situation", it stands to reason that Tang Qian's words just now were a little "excessive" and "excessive", but he chose to "turn a blind eye" and "turn a deaf ear". This attitude makes some "smart people" on the Lakers seem to vaguely guess something.

But...... Isn't that an exaggeration?

Mike. Before the end of D'Antoni's timeout, he only asked the Lakers No. 29, "Is there any hope?" ”

In exchange, No. 29 replied categorically, "Of course, sir, I came on the field to win!" ”

This confidence and temperament...... What happened outside the locker room just now???

Mike. D'Antoni didn't ask much, he just chose to believe in the former, anyway, the situation has been rotten to this extent, no matter how ugly it is, it is just a sweep. It's better to give "people who still want to win" a chance.

I hope you can grasp it, otherwise I'm afraid I won't have many opportunities to give.

The Spurs are tantamount to just taking out Corey. Joseph, the rest of the lineup remains the same, or PG Gary. Neil SF Kawai. Leonard PF Matt. Bonner C Aaron. Baines. It is equivalent to making an adjustment to the No. 2 position.

This is Popovich's confidence and trust in the Argentine.

Decades of working together have established affirmation.

But Popovich still underestimated the energy of the 29th tonight, and Ginobili performed a "snake breakaway" as soon as he came on the court, easily tearing apart the Lakers' outside defense. But in the end...... There was interference, and the basketball collapsed into the basket.

Pau Gasol of the Lakers got the rebound.

On the offensive end, Dujon missed the shot, and the offensive rebound was taken by the Lakers' No. 29, and then hung to Jordi at a 45-degree angle on the left side. Meeks. Jodi. Meeks shot an empty three-pointer and brushed ~, helping the Lakers continue to narrow the score gap.

"Well done! Jodi! After Meeks scored, Tang Qian shouted loudly, not stingy at all.

This can be seen below Mike. D'Antoni was even more surprised: No. 29 wouldn't have done this before, let alone in a "boss" tone...... How did this kid do it? It's like coming back from outside the locker room door, the leader's temperament, soaring, and the first half is like two people!

At 48-61, the score difference was only 13 points, and the third quarter had just passed 5 minutes.

This kind of scoring speed is already fast in front of the Spurs.

However, Popovich's face has not changed much, because he believes in the Spurs No. 20 who has just come on the court, and he believes in Manu. Ginobili can stop this team's decline. Ginobili is indeed not simple, turned his head, and hit a three-point shot, "brushing", helping the Spurs break the scoring drought in this quarter.

48-64, it seems that the score difference is back to 16 points.

But this kind of ball, after all, there are still a few who can score, Ginobili broke through 2 times in a row, but they all ended in nothing, one hit the iron, and the other was hit by the nail board hat. Instead, the Lakers took the opportunity to fight back, and Meeks made two three-pointers in a row from the outside.

54-64, only a 10-point difference.

Popovich held his breath and thought he could wait a little longer with a double-digit lead......

But the result made him staggered, because the Spurs' scoring, once again came to a standstill, and Ginobili missed another 2 goals, allowing the Lakers to hit another 5-pointer. 59-64, in less than 8 minutes, the original 22-point score difference disappeared so quickly. After Ginobili came up, except for a 3-pointer, the rest broke through and shot, shooting 0 of 5! This simply made Popovich and the Spurs bench a little unbelievable!

You must know that Ginobili's "Spirit Snake Breakthrough" can't even be contained by the Pistons Five Tigers of the year, even if time has passed, the Spurs No. 20 has long been out of the 04-05 heroic state, but after all, the "sword is not old", how can it be that all 5 breakthroughs failed? Popovich couldn't hold back any longer, immediately asked for a timeout, and immediately headed for Manu. Ginobili asked, "What's wrong?" Manu? Are you feeling unwell? Ginobili shook his head and said, "No, it's the defensive state of the 29th tonight, which is too strong." ”

"So powerful? Is it really that good? Popovich couldn't help but ask, "Can't you even get in?" ”

"It's hard." The Spurs No. 20 thought about it and replied honestly.

For a moment, Popovich was in a state of embarrassment and embarrassment, because he had recently warned Kowami. Leonard, "A person's outburst, no matter how strong it is, is limited, let alone a blue-collar insider"...... This time, it is tantamount to being stepped on hard, making the former "disgraced".

Slightly hesitating, Popovich said: "Tony, you go up too, organize the whole team, control the rhythm, and don't let everyone fall into the rhythm of the other party." As it turned out, Popovich still underestimated the energy of the Lakers' No. 29 tonight, because even if Parker was on the court, it would be inevitable, not only were all kinds of breakthroughs blocked, but the pass inside cut was almost useless. In this way, the Lakers are playing more and more smoothly, playing better and better, and the three-point shot that has not been opened in the entire series finally exerts force tonight, Meeks shot 6 of 8 in a single quarter, becoming the most eye-catching existence of the Los Angeles Lakers chasing points. But in Mike. In D'Antoni's heart, the most important reversal point is still the number 29 on the inside.

If it weren't for his interior support, if he hadn't been able to control it on the rebounding end, if he hadn't taken the lead in breaking San Antonio's winning momentum...... I'm afraid the Lakers will be over in the first half, how can there be a big counterattack now? Fight back?

Moreover...... Mike. D'Antoni also identified an important problem.

That is, vaguely, the four people on the Lakers court are all "closer" to No. 29 and "closer" to No. 29.

It's not about getting closer to the unit, it's about spirituality, it's spiritual.

Unconsciously, he has become the "core" on the field now, the "pillar" on the field, and the players on the field can't help but "gather" him.

This is something that ordinary substitute players will never be able to do.

Rookie rookie, even more so, because you lack that experience, lack that experience, naturally, you also lack that temperament.

Unless you are a superstar who has a vertical and horizontal posture as soon as you enter the league, such as the "Magic" Johnson of the year, such as Larry of the year. Bird, for example, Michael of the year. Jordan, like LeBron back then. James. Otherwise......

Could it be that this Oriental kid ...... Will the future break the "roof" of all-stars and rush into the superstar rank?

This...... Is it possible? You know, he's just a blue-collar player, and it's almost impossible for blue-collar players to ...... in history

Wait, there is still someone who broke this "roof", he is the legend of Boston, "The Lord of the Rings" Bill. Russell.

But the more you think about it, Mike. The more D'Antoni finds it funny, after all, Bill. What is Russell's identity? This is the only case in history, can the Oriental kid in front of him copy it? You know, this is Ben. What did Wallace, Mutombo, Camby, and Rodman all do! Because the team was built with blue-collar players as the core, the NBA history has been built except for Beal. Russell, who else? And also...... Well? It's not for nothing!

It's just that the name of this person is quite low-key, so low-key that few people can remember him.

So including Mike. D'Antoni almost forgot about him for a while.

He is the pinnacle of the quasi-supergiant, Weiss at the foot of the supergiant mountain. Unseld, yes, it's Wes. Unselde, an ancient "Ben. Wallace "ancient" Rodman. With an average of 10.8 points per game in the regular season and 10.6 points per game in the playoffs, he is a blue-collar worker with such a statistic, but he has been elected MVP and FMVP player. And he is only 201CM tall, but he is overweight, and he exceeded 240+ pounds in his rookie period. And in addition to his height, he is also an all-round strengthened Ben. Wallace, rebounding, scoring, assisting, and all of which have risen several levels compared to the former.

But this guy ...... It's playing the No. 5 position.

Because the historical presence is not high, and he rarely shows up after retiring, let alone the fans, most coaches may not be able to remember this name at the first time. But he's a proper blue-collar player, and he's the first player in NBA history to be the first player in NBA history. Russell, the only blue-collar cornerstone player to build a team, won both MVP and FMVP (Russell would certainly not have lost FMVP in his era, after all, the name of this award is Bill. Russell Trophy).

Although the moisture of career awards has been questioned, as an "insider", Mike. D'Antoni has never doubted the quality of a player who can claim the MVP trophy. Maybe the data isn't so gorgeous, maybe the performance isn't universally recognized, but do you think any cat or dog can win the MVP trophy? You know, before the 80s, the MVP award was voted for by the players.

You don't have the slightest strength, who will vote for you?

How to convince the public?

NBA players are all proud guys, and it is impossible to convince a "parallel import" who has no strength.

So...... He...... Is it possible to break the "roof" and become a third person?

No, no, no, think too far, and now he's far away from Ben. Wallace, Mutombo, and Rodman are still far behind, and when they can be on an equal footing with these names, it will be time to discuss further. Before that, it was in vain to think about it.

It's just that...... His temperament is indeed something that the previous few people did not have.

It's as if ...... It's the same as being an absolute core and winning the championship of an absolute core.

There is no difference in the hearts of insiders.

And because of this, Mike. D'Antoni gave the 29th the chance to lead the team alone.

Because the former also wants to know if he is "looking" wrong.

Under the collective counterattack of the Lakers, the Spurs have gone, even if Popovich hurriedly replaced the Holy City No. 21, it is the same, the Lakers' momentum has completely risen, and the Spurs can no longer press it. In this way, the Spurs lost the third game of the series, and the Lakers successfully defended their home court.

Tang Qian was the chief contributor, he cut 6 points, 17 rebounds, 9 blocks and 3 assists that night, which was also his first highlight performance since the series. So, without a doubt, he was the man of the match tonight.

At the post-match press conference, Mike. D'Antoni praised the former, saying:

Hot is the leader of our team tonight!

That's definitely a very high rating, because it's usually hard to get that on the bench and for blue-collar players.

What is leadership? You'll have to control the outcome of tonight's battle to have the basic leadership qualifications.

Otherwise, don't talk about it.

Tang Qian's performance tonight, Staples Center, is obvious to all, without his defense and rebounding, the Lakers would have collapsed a long time ago, how can there be any possibility of overtaking and reversal? Jordi, who scored 29 points tonight and set a new playoff career high, was the best in his playoff career. Meeks also said in the interview:

Without the heat, there would be no victory tonight! He deserved to be the best man of the game tonight!

As for the Spurs, they also said:

We have paid the price for our underestimates! Congratulations to the Lakers, congratulations to Dongfang Hot! They woke us up!

Kobe, Nash, and Ci Shiping also tweeted for the first time:

Congratulations to my brothers on their victory! Come on! Lakers!

However, some people were in a very unhappy mood, and in order to "take revenge", he actually revealed "inside information" to the reporter who interviewed him, saying:

……

Early the next morning, newspapers and the Internet set off a lot of "sound waves".

Congratulations to the Lakers for winning and the like, I won't mention it, it's much the same, it's mainly a piece of news that has attracted people's attention:

The Lakers said in the No. 29 game, the Lakers are now my team!

I'm at the helm of Los Angeles!

Whoever disobeys me, give me a bench!

This is ESPN a guy named Seth. Bing's reporter broke out, and it was written with a nose and eyes, and said that this was an inside message from the Lakers, which was absolutely correct. This time, Los Angeles exploded first. People have left messages online asking about the authenticity of the news.

And Mike. D'Antoni instructed the Lakers' press officers not to release any news for the time being and to respond in silence.

Why not refute the rumors? The reason is very simple, the other party obviously got the "first-hand information", if his side publicly denies it, who knows if the other side will come up with more sharp evidence? Moreover...... Mike. D'Antoni and the entire Lakers team know that these words are not adulterated. Largely true.

So...... This means that there is an "inner ghost" inside the Lakers.

This is definitely a very serious event that affects the atmosphere in the locker room, just like the Chicago Bulls' "Horace . Grant Event". When it comes to "Cobra" Grant, old fans may know that Qiao Shen's first three-time champion is similar to the status of the "big bug" Rodman after three consecutive championships. This person has a lot of ability, but in terms of mind and character, it is extremely problematic.

After joining the Magic team in the 01-02 season, he was directly replaced by Doug . Rivers called it a "cancer," but that's not the most famous "thing." Because of the so-called "Horace" of the early 90s. The Grant incident" is the real "bad", which finally made Qiao Shen hairy.

Because of Horace. Grant has been jealous of Jordan for a long time, and since the first crown in 91, there have been contradictions. Traditionally, NBA teams are required to go to the White House after winning a championship, but note that this is voluntary, not forced. So at that time, Qiao Shen and the whole team said that they didn't want to go (in fact, they were going to play golf), and they were busy with other things, and the whole team had no objections. But who knew that after the White House trip, "Cobra" Grant suddenly went berserk, and publicly told the media that he was disappointed in Jordan's behavior, because it was a lack of team spirit and a performance of specialization. However, because Jordan wanted to pursue a consecutive championship, he only made Grant apologize to the team, and it was considered a stop. Who knew that after the second championship arrived, this guy had an itchy mouth again, but it can be regarded as learning the "lesson" of the last time, he no longer said anything publicly, but changed another way to "vent".

That's the point, and it's the source of Jordan's later "mockery" of him in his autobiography.

Horace. Because Grant was dissatisfied with his team status and Jordan's "specialization", he began to privately reveal "inside information", "exclusive information" and "grapevine" to reporters. Including what Jordan and others inadvertently said in training sessions on the bus, including the team's joking sentences, he will pick up those negative, negative, bad, and "silent" revelations to regular reporters, so that they can "attack" Jordan and the Bulls instead of himself.

This made the Bulls for a while, everyone was in danger, and they didn't even dare to joke, for fear that what they said would be "exposed" by others.

And the stupidest thing is that this "self-proclaimed smart" person thinks that everyone doesn't know who the "initiator" is.

This was the first three consecutive championships of the Bulls, the most criticized "Horace. Grant incident", and then Jordan didn't like the latter at all, and here is the root cause. How many of the people who offended the god Joe ended up getting good?

Now the Lakers have the exact same problem, Mike. D'Antoniton had a headache, because there was still Jordan in Chicago at that time, but now there is no Kobe Bryant in Los Angeles. Without the team's soul shock, all kinds of ghosts, all kinds of dirty thoughts, all appeared on the dark side.

Tang Qian didn't expect Jamison to do this, he gave the latter a punch that day, making his nose bloom, and said: "If it's a man, come head-on, and make small moves behind your back, are you a girl?" Or are your balls gone? Jamison wanted to fight back, but after all, he was old, and his strength and tonnage were not at the same level, so in the end, he didn't get anything except a few more punches from the 29th.

However, he still shouted loudly, to make Tang Qian look good, and to make Tang Qian unable to get along in Los Angeles.

Of course, Tang Qian knew the other party's plan, and immediately sneered: "Do you think that your little trick will be able to fix me?" I think you're going back more and more, right? Then you will know why I will take your place and trample you under my feet, because I am with you...... I'm not born to be the same kind of person! ”

Before the start of the fourth game of the series, the Lakers first staged a "Infernal Affairs" and "Palace Scheming" within the Lakers.
