Chapter 334: Rebounding Explosion (Big Chapter Asking for Recommendation Votes~)
On December 14, 2012, the MIC Center Arena, where the Lakers will have another back-to-back game. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The opponent is the Washington Wizards, who are currently at the bottom of the league. Er was injured, so they started the season with a mess. With a 3-16 record so far, one less win than the Charlotte Bobcats, it's one of the best teams in the East.
If the Lakers still lose this game, then even Kobe's prestige will not be able to appease the angry Los Angeles fans.
So even though it was back-to-back games, the Lakers as a team had no reason to lose.
9-14, that's the Lakers' current record.
For such a game, it is naturally impossible to be in the broadcast schedule of the national live broadcast, so the number of media present is not much. But it doesn't matter, because this group of people will be the "lucky ones", just like the people at the Barclays Centre Arena.
There is a saying in the NBA that miracles often come from the ordinary, and this sentence can be used in today's games.
Due to this season's team pillar player John Brown. Fertile. Er suffered a fractured kneecap during training on September 29, so the 2010 No. 1 pick will not be seen in the MIC Center for the next eight weeks. In the face of this team situation, the attendance rate of the Washington Wizards' team was only less than 65%, Tang Qian stood in the center of the court and glanced at the large number of empty seats, which showed the sadness and anger of Washington fans during this time.
If the Lakers continue to lose in the future, will this happen one day at the Staples Center?
I'm not going to let that happen, though.
Because the Lakers' winning streak is about to begin.
It starts in this MIC Center Arena.
Regarding the contradiction between Tang Qian and Howard, head coach Mike . D'Antoni also knows it, but at present, the Lakers are short of major generals, and there are not many available interior players, so it is impossible to let Tang Qian play.
I hope these two guys can reconcile as soon as possible, alas.
Mike. D'Antoni said with a sigh in his heart.
Coming to Los Angeles to coach, the pressure on all sides is too much. D'Antoni is still a bit disdainful of Phil. Jackson, who thinks he's a "superstar nanny", is not worth mentioning without a superstar player. But after coming to the Los Angeles Lakers in person, he found that it was so difficult to be a "super giant nanny", which was many times more difficult than he originally imagined. This is really not something that ordinary people can play.
Putting aside the authenticity of the "triangle tactic", he began to gradually admire Phil for this. Jackson up.
"Show me, Chinese guys, you'll taste humiliation, I promise!" Howard also quarreled with Tang Qian after he came on the court. "Haha~ Really? That's what I was trying to tell you, don't be in a hurry to regret it then! Tang Qian did not flinch and went directly to Dwight in the center of the court. Howard said-for-tat.
"Hey, I said you two, don't go too far! Do you really think that infighting can still do it for us? When what are we? "Brazilian player Nene. Hilario is an impulsive person, and when he saw these two guys from the Lakers looking down on people so much, he was immediately a little unhappy, and he forced himself into the mirror.
"What are you doing?"
"It's your business!"
He was answered by two "ruthless" answers, which made Nene angry and shouted: "Don't look down on people, I won't let you do whatever you want tonight!! "Really? I advise you not to mess around, really, that's advice. Tang Qian said. Alone. Testicle. Man! What are you? Dare to argue with me? I don't care about you!!! Howard was angry, and when he saw another "little character" coming out and shouting, he was immediately annoyed, and opened his mouth very bitterly.
"What!! What did you say!!! "Nenen. Hilario because of testosterone. The tumor, which had undergone surgery in 2008, is commonly known as "cut. Egg. eggs". Although the operation was successful and did not affect his return to the NBA, since then, there is indeed only one "egg" left in his crotch. eggs". This also made some people who didn't like him give him a "Du. Testicle. male". But in general, no one will say it in front of him, because this guy is a hot-tempered man and is missing an "egg. "Egg" doesn't seem to affect his violent style at all. If you want to say that the player who has caused the most trouble on the inside recently, then Nene. Hilario definitely counts as one.
And this guy, in the NBA, has almost never suffered any losses, which means that his "fist ability", very strong, is not built. So Howard's words blew up his nerves, if it weren't for his teammates, this game might not have officially started, and it would have become a "boxing ring".
The atmosphere of the game suddenly became tense because of this little episode.
The Lakers are still recovering from injuries because Nash and Gasol are still recovering from injuries, so the starting lineup is PG Chris. Duhon SG Kobe. Bryant SF Tzu Shiping PF Tang Qian C Dwight. Howard. Less wo on the other side. Er, then for PG Jordan. Crawford S.G. Bullard. Bill SF Martell. Webster PF Nene. Hilario C Emeka. Okafor.
Tang Qian looked at Emeka. Okafor, the former star of the show, once had a relationship with Dwight next to him. Howard was on an equal footing, but who would have thought that the first season would be his peak season, and after that, he could no longer suppress Dwight. Howard's season, and the more he played, the more marginalized he became. To be honest, Tang Qian once liked this player, but his luck was not good, he was injured in the second year of his career, missed nearly 60 games, and because the offensive ability improved slowly, and the athleticism was not as exaggerated as Howard, so gradually the Bobcats lost patience with him. In addition, his personality also means that he does not have the character of not being the boss of the team, and with years of physical injuries, this season has actually become the last NBA season for the big man.
In fact, to put it mildly, Tang Qian thinks that in terms of low-post defense, his ability to assist in defense may not be as good as Dwight. Howard, but the single defense ability is still above the "Warcraft". A career-high 2.6 blocks and a 30% reduction in opponents' points per game are near-terrifying defensive dominance. Especially the latter, Bydwight. Howard is a few percentage points higher. At a height of only 208cm and his athleticism is not particularly strong, he can make this kind of performance, and he is definitely the type of "low-post defensive maniac". In fact, Tang Qian believes that his potential has not been fully realized in the NBA, and his average of 4+ blocks per game for several consecutive seasons in college is enough to scare any interior master to death.
You must know that the NCAA's style of play and time limits are different from those of the NBA, and their total number of offensive rounds is less, so it is a monster to be able to play this kind of average block per game data. In the NCAA back then, he was a well-deserved king of blocks. And compared to Tang Qian and Howard's body block type, he is closer to the "ancient era" Bill. Russell's blocking method is based on timing and skill, supplemented by physical fitness. If he can have the physical condition of "Warcraft" Howard, then maybe the 4+ block in the NBA is not unachievable.
Tang Qian once carefully watched Okafor's defensive video, and found that there are many highlights and merits in him, at least for his current self, there are many things to learn and learn from.
But appreciation is appreciation, like is like, basketball is a competitive game, as long as the referee blows the whistle, then there is only losing, or winning.
A basketball game is not a football game, and there is never a draw to speak of.
Playing scrum, there are not many people in this league who are Dwight. Howard's opponent, even if he still has a back injury, that's the same. Emeka. Okafor, on this point, is indeed several streets behind the former. Obviously affected by the dispute, Kobe Bryant shot 3 times at the beginning, but tonight he didn't feel good, duangduangduang ~ hit the iron three times in a row, and the basketball collapsed and popped up.
Dwight. Howard seemed to be full of energy tonight, flew to grab the offensive rebound, and then couldn't help but say, rose on the spot, clasped his hands heavily, and made a "bang", like the way he played and looked when he was healthy. "How? The Chinese? Did you see that? That's what I'm capable of! After Howard landed, he didn't look at his opponent, but actually stared at Tang Qian and said.
The atmosphere of gunpowder is very strong.
"Don't worry, Howard, it's just the beginning, isn't it?" Tang Qian smiled indifferently and said, not looking nervous and urgent at all. "Humph! Hard-mouthed guy! I'll see how long you can hold out! I'm going to have a break tonight! Because I can feel it, Law. Zi is full of energy tonight!! "This is American culture, especially in professional sports circles, where on the surface they wear suits and leather shoes, tie and leather shoes, but in fact they are secretly dirty and dirty. Howard is the same, pretending to be a good baby in front of the media, but after the spotlight is gone, he returns to his original nature.
"Really?" Tang Qian has been in the United States for so long, so he responded very calmly in an American way: "Then I will stuff your energy back into the fart. Eyes out. ”
These two bastards, who still have to fight openly on the court, are they looking down on the inside line of our Nuggets?
Be sure to give them a good look!
So thought of the "Brazilian Fighter" in his heart.
Tang Qian entered the "Different Space", took out two silver cards, and then chuckled: "Come on, come on, from now on, let's make a big fuss." ”
"The 10,000 spectators here today, you have a blessing for your eyes."
"Activate, Silver ......"
……
"Yankees, what are you smiling at! It's annoying to watch! After Howard saw Tang Qian's smile, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and then opened his mouth and squirted. As if without saying a word, he felt uncomfortable and uncomfortable. "Nothing, little beast. Beast, I'm here to tell you solemnly, the show has begun. Tang Qian continued to smile and said, not affected by Howard's words at all.
When ~ the opponent's shot missed, Howard was active and stuck in the position vigorously, and he was going to win this defensive rebound.
However, the rebounding ball disappeared in mid-air in an instant.
Howard was shocked, turned his head to look over, and the orange basketball didn't know when it had fallen into the hands of the Lakers' No. 29. "This is the first one, little beast. Beast! Tang Qian grinned, and then passed the basketball in his hand.
duang~
Kobe missed a shot, Howard quickly stuck in position, and after a few years of growth, the gap between his and Okafor's ability has become more and more obvious. As the league's No. 1 center, the latter gradually lost his ability to fight back in front of the former.
This offensive rebound, you can't run away! It's mine!
Howard, with years of experience on the inside, subconsciously came to a conclusion.
He jumped up and was about to put the basketball in his arms, but suddenly, there was a cold in his right ear, and there was a "pop", and the rebounding ball was taken first. Howard turned his head and looked, it wasn't the Lakers' No. 29, who was China's hot?
Bang Dang!!
Tang Qian's hands vigorously exploded the basket, and the movements were the same as those of Dwight just now. Howard is almost identical.
After letting go of the basket and landing on the ground, Tang Qian smiled at the "Warcraft" again: "Hi~ Little Beast. Beast ~ This is the second rebound ha~"
Damn it!!! This damn Chinese guy!!
Howard was furious and mustered up his energy to save face in the next round, but he didn't know that the real nightmare had just begun. The night of December 14, 2012, U.S. time, will be a night that Howard will remember for the rest of his life.
After the entire first quarter passed, the Lakers led the opponent by 12 points 27-15, although Kobe Bryant felt more average, only 4 of 10 shots, but due to Tang Qian's strong intervention, the Lakers occupied the absolute initiative at the beginning of this game. Why? Tang Qian picked up 15 rebounds in a single quarter, including 10 backcourt rebounds and 5 frontcourt rebounds, which directly disintegrated the Wizards' offense. Because of the large lack of rebounds, the team's offensive rounds have become fewer, the number of offenses has been reduced, and the Wizards' shooting percentage is already average, so the Lakers have a rare big lead this season.
"Hot, you're doing well, keep it up!" Next to the head coach Mike. D'Antoni patted Tang Qian's shoulder and said, because of his current situation and Mike's. Brown is somewhat similar, and if the team's record does not improve, although he will not be cut, he will inevitably be criticized by management and Los Angeles fans. Don't think that this kind of pressure is a joke, ordinary people don't even feel comfortable with a small lawsuit, and their spirit is depressed and panicked, not to mention this situation of "public enemies of the whole city"? Therefore, Tang Qian's "unexpected" performance gave Mike. D'Antoni's eyes lit up.
Originally in Mike. D'Antoni's tactical system is more repulsive to big men over 7 feet, because his "three seconds or less" philosophy, players over 7 feet are difficult to fit into. But the yellow man in front of him, he found something different. Although he is more than 7 feet tall, his movement speed and lateral agility far exceed the standard of a center inside. It's almost the same level as the front line.
It's definitely an amazing thing! Mike. D'Antoni felt a little happy in his heart, because this means that this Chinese center forward, he has the possibility of integrating into his own tactical system. Originally, in the "three seconds or less", the most lacking link is defense, that is, the control of key rebounds, because of the formation of a "running and bombing rhythm", so this determines that the vast majority of players cannot be too tall. And the short super rebounding king, which is a rare existence in NBA history, Mike. D'Antoni had no delusion that he would be able to get it. After all, rebounding, this is still the field of domination of a big man, even if he sets off a "small ball whirlwind", it can't change this fact.
Look at the "Big Three" in Miami, it is simply the "perfect prototype" of future basketball, but the problem of rebounding, they have never solved it. Basically, they are in a weak position, which shows a flaw in small-ball tactics, and the control of baskets and rebounds can never be as strong as traditional teams. Unless you can get something like Dennis. Rodman or Weis. Unseld's 2-meter rebounding king, otherwise you will never be able to make up for this defect.
What about the big players? It's hard to adapt to the running and bombing. Look at Paul. Gasol, the basic skills under the basket are so solid that there is nothing to say, but if he wants to run and shoot, first of all, speed and agility are serious problems. So Mike. D'Antoni doesn't like the Spaniards very much, and there is also this reason for this, not that Gasol's ability is not good, but his style of play is difficult to integrate into the former's tactical philosophy. Besides, the Lakers also have Dwight. Howard, Gasol doesn't need to be responsible for low-post shots, so it's not difficult to understand why the Espanyol team plays a ******** role.
But this guy in front of him ...... Maybe it can fill this gap.
Fill in the most lacking link in your tactical theory.
Originally, "Warcraft" also had this potential, but he was too big, Mike. D'Antoni simply can't do it, and Howard is too obsessed with scoring and basket singles. D'Antoni's tactical system, not very compatible. The person he wants is an interior player who can keep up with the "run-and-gun tactics", who can not stick to the ball, and who can work hard and do a good job of defensive tasks. Dwight. Howard, apparently, doesn't quite fit that standard.
But Mike. D'Antoni is not a rookie coach who has just coached, he quickly suppressed his emotions and prepared to observe Tang Qian for a few more games. Because of the outbreak and explosion of the game, there is basically not much reference.
In the entire first quarter, Tang Qian scored 15 of the Lakers' 18 rebounds, while the opposite Wizards only had 6 rebounds in the whole team.
It's very pitiful.
At the beginning of the second quarter, because the bench lineup played well, Mike. D'Antoni did not make a regular change in the regular line-up. In addition to No. 29 Tang Qian, he, as a member of the main lineup, was replaced by Mike. D'Antoni was still on the pitch to "investigate". In this quarter, both teams had surprisingly high shooting percentages, 55.6% and 57.1% respectively, and under this high shooting, Tang's rebounding ball naturally "shrank", and only got 7 rebounds in a single quarter. At the end of the first half, the Lakers led 58-45, and Tang Qian grabbed 22 rebounds in the half.
But only a few people have noticed something, and most people have not yet sensed that tonight will be a different night.
Record Night.
In the Lakers locker room, "Warcraft" Howard was sullen and did not show joy because of the Lakers' big lead.
This yellow-skinned guy, why is he suddenly in such a good state to grab rebounds? What the hell! Did you just run into him and erupt??? Damn it!!!
Howard was still angry and depressed, completely unexpected, and the greater consternation was still to come.
In the Wizards' locker room, Nene was venting loudly: "shi.t~ how can you lose so much rebounding?" Emeka must be in the second half! Otherwise, the arrogance of the other party will only become more arrogant! "Emeka. By the 2012-2013 season, Okafor basically didn't have much sharpness, so he could only nod his head woodenly without much expression.
In the third quarter of the game, it was a big iron battle, the shooting rates of both sides fell into dogs, the Lakers shot only around 40%, and what about the opposite Wizards? Worse, only 20.8%, 5 hits from 24 shots! Under this ultra-low shooting rate, Tang Qian once again took advantage of the situation to rise, swiping 13 rebounds in a single quarter, and at this time, the Lakers tasted the sweetness and used offensive rounds and offensive times to grind the opponent to death. 25-14 in the first quarter, 83-59 in the third quarter, with a full 24-point lead, entered the fourth quarter.
And from this quarter, someone finally noticed that Tang Qian's data was "abnormal", and Wizards' on-site commentator Steve said in the third quarter of the game: "Phil, have you found out, this Chinese has scored more than 30 rebounds, which is an amazing record!" The last person to reach 30+ rebounds, I remember it was last year's Lakers Bynum, right? Another on-site commentator, Phil. Chanier said: "Yes, it was last season, I remember it was against the San Antonio Spurs, right? I didn't expect someone to break this record so soon! ”
"I wonder how far he can go? It's always easy to get excited watching this kind of milestone competition. ”
"haha~Let's wait and see~"
"This ugly guy!! actually won so many rebounds in a single game??? Is this kidding me??? "Eggs. Egg Fighter" Nene was very angry, looking at that expression, he thought that this game was a "strong showdown" between him and Tang Qian. "Nene, that guy isn't that ugly, I think it's quite pleasing to the eye." As soon as Okafor finished saying this, Nene was furious and said, "What a good fart!" Looks like a girl who acts in a movie! It's white and tender, and it really looks disgusting! There is no man's fierce spirit at all! "Really?" Okafor looked at the No. 29, then turned back and secretly looked at the Brazilian teammate next to him, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "I still think that people are better-looking." ”
ps: Dazhang is coming, guess who's team record did Tang Qian? Xiaozi's writing is grounded, and it is by no means imaginary~ (To be continued.) )
