Chapter 299: The Rookie Year Ends

Chesapeake Energy Stadium, Oklahoma City, USA. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

G7, which means a tie-break in the series, is also the meaning of a tiebreaker, wins and continues to the next round, loses the whole team disbanded, and goes fishing on vacation.

"Welcome to G7 Night, and tonight I'm with Grant. Lang will accompany everyone to witness the new history of the Thunder! "Brian. Davis opened the victory with a victory pass, a method used by the home commentators to set the mood around. "That's right, the Western Conference Finals, or even the Finals, I have a strong hunch that the Thunder will stand on the highest stage this year!" Grant. Lang also cooperated, and suddenly all the Thunder fans cheered loudly.

A thunderbolt blue, swaying throughout the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Usually I haven't felt it, but when it really comes to the away game, Tang Qian understands why the home advantage in the series is so important. In the last round, the Lakers had a home-court advantage, so they successfully qualified, and Tang Qian only had a little touch. But this round the Lakers lost home-court advantage and had to come to the road to grab seven to advance. All of a sudden, Tang Qian felt a burst of sullenness, as if the entire venue was putting pressure on him.

If the tie-break is at home, the bonus advantage may not be obvious, but if the tie-break is away, the sense of suppression and weakening is very strong. It is no wonder that the NBA has played hundreds of tie-breaks, but the away team's success rate is only about 20%, which means that the home team has a seven-tie break, and the probability of promotion is as high as 80%. This is a very scary probability number, historical data is not accidental, how easy is it to squeeze into that 20%?

The whole team of the Lakers also knows this probability, because on TV, on the Internet, and on the spot, the probability of grabbing seven will be played from time to time. In this way, the pressure on the Lakers players is even greater.

And for Tang Qian, although he broke through the defensive crystal brick in the last game and reached 6 and a half, he also lost the ability card that he could call in this game. Just a bronze physical strength card, in this battle of seven battles, plays a role of less than 1%.

The "Heart Demon" was launched, and the competitive state of this game dropped by 30%, such a big slide also gave Tang Qian a blow to the head, allowing him to cut off the last trace of luck in his heart.

This game is difficult to play.

seems to have been stimulated by the "shame" of the last game, and the entire Thunder team in this game had anger on their faces, looking at the Los Angeles Lakers opposite, with a "hate" glow in their eyes. Compared with the Thunder, the Lakers as a whole are very different, a touch of exhaustion, a touch of reluctance, which is the spirit of the Los Angeles people tonight.

The race started in this state.

At the beginning of the first quarter, the Lakers were poured a 0-10, if it weren't for Kobe Bryant to get to the basket and fight for 2 free throws, the Lakers' "zero eggs" would have remained longer. When ~2 free throws were 1 hit, Kobe's free throws seemed to mean something. At the end of the first quarter, 30-14, the Thunder led the Lakers by 16 points.

Tang Qian played 1 minute and 11 seconds in the first quarter of the game and did not get any personal data.

In the second quarter, the Lakers adjusted their tactics, and Gasol scored in succession on the inside, and just as they were about to get up, the Thunder's Ibaka appeared. He slapped Gasol off two shots in a row, and then scored four points himself, and in an instant, the Lakers' just appeared signs of chasing points were ruthlessly snuffed out. It can be seen that in this game, the Thunder team up and down showed a kind of "must win" morale, so they played extremely devotedly in each position, so that the Lakers and their positions were almost all deflated, and none of them could be pleased.

At 52-30, at halftime, the Thunder had a 22-point lead over the Lakers.

Tang Qian played 2 minutes and 50 seconds in this quarter and only got 1 rebound.

In the locker room, the Lakers, it was a dreary, and Mike. Brown's voice was like a mechanical noise, and no one could hear it. In this case, both teams went into the second half.

In the second half, Kobe Bryant was ruthless, played consecutive singles, and scored 8 points in one go, and the score gap quickly narrowed. The Thunder called a timeout, and Scott. Brooks faced the No. 24 and immediately arranged targeted defensive tactics, because he clearly remembered that the reason why the last game was reversed was completely the reason for "letting go" of the No. 24. So in this game, as soon as I saw that Kobe Bryant was showing signs of entering the state, he immediately started and made every effort to block this dangerous black mamba.

After the timeout, Kobe's scoring efficiency really dropped, and the Thunder took the opportunity to widen the score difference after only 1 of 4 shots.

And I don't know why, the game of the hermitage owner, since the second quarter, has been like sleepwalking.

It's the kind of sleepwalking in the true sense of the word, both on the defensive end and on the offensive end, like the walking dead, and his presence is completely unaware on the court. This situation is very weird, because it stands to reason that the owner of the nunnery was "suppressed" by Tang Qian in the last game, and this game should hold his breath and perform with all his might, how can it be so "casual"? Playing ball is the same as an old lady with a missing arm and a broken leg?

Because of his "sleepwalking", the Lakers' inside hole door was wide open. Ibaka scored 17 points in the second and a half quarters. Please, the Congolese man is still a pure blue-collar this season, and the offensive attributes of later generations have basically not been developed. The 9.1 points in the regular season proves that most of the shooting points are concentrated under the basket, and if he defends well, he will not be able to score 17 points in two and a half quarters.

These Mike. Brown could see clearly, it was all Andrew. Bynum is the responsibility of one person.

I don't make up for it at all, I don't move it actively, and when I cover it, I just stretch out my hand symbolically, and I almost don't stand on my tiptoes.

With such a defensive attitude, how can it be possible to defend against a Thunder player with explosive athleticism? So it was a matter of course that the defensive end was blown up. Okay, it's okay if you get blown up on the defensive end, and it's always okay to make up for it on the offensive end, right? After all, this season, the owner of the An, is the starting center of the Western All-Stars, isn't it? He also averaged 18+ points per game in the regular season, and in this era of withering centers and interior lines, he can be called an "interior weapon".

It's a pity that the owner of the nunnery feels cold tonight, no, it should feel cold and frozen.

Why? At present, 9 shots and 0 of 2 free throws, and the shooting rate is 0%, do you say it is frozen?

After the lack of his firepower support, the Lakers' offense suddenly did not work smoothly, although Gasol said that he had the intention to replace the main offense, but since the last game, his foot injury has worsened, and the continuous high-intensity overdraft, his physical energy, has long been in an emergency, and he can't even play half of his usual strength tonight. In this way, it is simply miserable to want to attack the inside line of the "imposing" Thunder team.

Without the play of the twin towers on the inside, the Lakers' offensive firepower is less than half.

Because in the regular season, Gasol averaged 17+ points per game, and Bynum averaged 18+ points per game, which is 35+ points less, and it is impossible to fill it with the Lakers' outside players alone. Even if Kobe Bryant forced another 8 points and scored 16 points in a single quarter, he still couldn't save the Los Angeles Lakers, who were about to collapse.

At the end of the third quarter, 82-52, it was a 30-point deficit again.

And can the Lakers still pull off a miracle this time?

The answer, of course, is no.

The last big reversal was the only one in the NBA's more than 60 years, and this time I still think about it, it's a dream.

The reason why a miracle is a miracle is that it is difficult to happen, that is, it rarely happens, if it can be done continuously, what is it called a miracle? And the entire physical fitness of the Lakers has reached the critical point of collapse, with a huge score difference and huge away pressure, everything makes everyone in Los Angeles feel physically and mentally exhausted.

Playing a real game is not a game and staging a big reversal, what needs to be consumed is the spirit of the team. This is not an exaggeration, but the spirit of the Lakers in this year's playoffs has been exhausted, so it is almost impossible to want to do it again. Not to mention Kobe's side, even Tang Qian's side, it is impossible.

Without the ability card and the rage state, plus the competitive state has dropped by 30%, Tang Qian will not be a "dog" tonight. ", that's thank goodness, what else to talk about outbreaks? Besides, tonight's Thunder team is a real "three military life" and "momentum like a rainbow", and the collective state is rising.

Tang Qian played 4:01 in the third quarter and got 1 rebound.

At this point, the Lakers' bench was all silent, because no one wanted to speak, and no one dared to speak, for fear of provoking the black mamba who kept gasping. Mike. Brown was also deflated when he saw this score difference, he was not the kind of manager who was good at playing hard battles, so once the score difference was widened, he would be the first to waver before the players. This was true in the last game, and the same is true in this one, except that in the last game, there was a miracle in Staples.

But tonight, at the Chesapeake Energy Stadium, there were no miracles here.

At least not the miracle of the Los Angeles people.

"Bryant, why don't you come down and rest for a while?" Mike. Brown didn't know why, but the gods actually said this. This sentence immediately ignited Kobe's anger, and he turned his head and glared at Mike fiercely. Brown glanced at it, and said in an extremely cold voice: "What are you resting for?" There's still one more game! 12 minutes to go! To rest, go and rest yourself! When it comes to the offseason, I have more time to rest! ”

This is the first time that Kobe Bryant has looked at Mike with this kind of gaze. Brown, the black mamba's natural attributes, there are genes that reject abandonment and cowardice. So Mike. Brown touched his head at this juncture, and Kobe Bryant looked at this black fat man, and the dissatisfaction and disgust in his heart were overflowing.

"Bryant, I, I'm also for your good, needless struggle and resistance, that's pointless, it's not as good as ......" Mike. Brown wanted to say, but was directly interrupted by Kobe Bryant with a wave of his hand: "You have to give up resistance, that's your freedom, you don't use this kind of dog. language to dissuade me, because I can't listen to such words. ”

Kobe Bryant took a big sip of a sports drink, shook the towel on his body and said, "I'm Kobe. Bryant, there is only a reason to die on the court, even if you break your foot, you have to break it on the court! Do you understand? ”

"Play !!"

Bryant didn't know who he yelled at, and then left the bench alone and walked onto the court.

"I, I'm not thinking about him, why are you so unappreciative!" Mike. Brown waited for Kobe Bryant to go away, and muttered in a low voice, and after Tang Qian heard it, he understood that this head coach would not be able to do much longer in the Lakers. As a head coach, you can offend ordinary players, but offend core players, team soul players, that is the rhythm of your own death. No one management or boss will be on his side.

The NBA is a commercial league, and if you want the absolute authority of the head coach, it's best to go to the NCAA, where the coach says everything.

Mike. Brown, the future is decided.

Tang Qian made a prediction in his heart.

In the fourth quarter, Kobe Bryant seemed to be a little crazy, although the shooting rate was not high, but the momentum of the crazy offense still made his opponent feel a chill. Sabo. Soflosa shouted bitterly in his heart, girl, everyone is playing well tonight, and I am unlucky alone, I didn't get any data, but I was taught by Kobe Bryant and singled in a row! What is this T.M.D called!!

Kobe Bryant increased the dose of breakthrough in the final quarter, and even in the last few minutes, he completely gave up mid- and long-range shooting, only breaking through, only killing, and only impacting the Thunder's basket. Although Ibaka and Perkins also blocked a few balls, they couldn't withstand such a "brainless" impact as the black mamba! In the last 1 minute of the game, Kendrick. Perkins graduated with six fouls and was forced off the court. Then just 30 seconds later, Sergi. Ibaka also followed in his footsteps and "died honorably" together.

Bryant scored 33 points in the game and made 19 free throws, but his free throw shooting percentage was not good, only 10 free throws were made, and the shooting rate was just over 50%. This shows that Black Mamba's physical fitness is no longer what it used to be, otherwise he would not have been able to make 10 of 19 free throws. There will be such a "dog. The hit rate of "" is entirely because Kobe's body is extremely tired, so even muscle memory is a little unstable.

In the end, the Lakers lost 95-69 with a big score of 26 points, ending the series miserably.

Of course, this also announced the end of the season in Los Angeles.

Tang Qian's performance in this game was poor, only getting 3 rebounds and 1 assist, which was his worst performance in this series.

Listening to the joyful shouts and applause of the Thunder fans, Tang Qian took a breath silently, because he knew that his NBA rookie year had also come to an end on this day.

The Los Angeles Lakers lost 3-4 to reach the Western Conference semifinals.

The 2011-2012 season was over.
