Chapter 449: Dou KG (II)
"Then you come down for me! Don't play again in today's game! "Mike. D'Antoni suddenly spoke, and as soon as this sentence came out, the Lakers were all stunned. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info You must know that now is not as good as before, there are still more games for the Lakers during that time, so it will not be too serious to "squander" a little, but now...... I've finished the All-Star Game, which means in the NBA league that it's time to start a full-scale sprint to the playoffs and prepare for the playoffs.
And tonight has a special meaning for the Lakers, not only for the fans in Los Angeles, but also for the old Buss, who has just passed away. If it can't defeat the "feud" Jungreen, it will be a great blow to the overall morale of the Lakers.
In the 2012-2013 season, the Lakers formed a "Four Kings" lineup, but they laughed generously, if they didn't even make the playoffs in the end, then this kind of shame would be a big joke that is unique in the history of the league. So at this time, the removal of Howard, in the eyes of many people, is really a bit presumptuous and hot-blooded. After all, as a head coach, it's better not to coach with this kind of emotion.
Record is what the Lakers need most now, not boring fighting with each other.
"What?" Howard's face changed when he heard this, and then he turned to mocking: "Mike. Mr. D'Antoni, you want me to sit on the bench? Do the players agree? Do the fans agree? Does management agree? Howard was so fearless, obviously he also thought of the previous layer, which is why he dared to question so and say so hardly.
He knew that the Lakers were under a lot of pressure from the management to the players, so he didn't believe in this Mike. D'Antoni dared to do such a "stupid thing". Mike. As soon as D'Antoni heard the other party's tone, he couldn't help but get even more angry, and immediately replied loudly: "I don't care if they agree or not, it's game time, and as the head coach, I have the right to decide everything!" ”
“SO…… You give me a quick exit, so calm down tonight! ”
Hear Mike. D'Antoni "play really", Howard was stunned, and then his face turned angry and said: "Bastard, are you crazy?" When is it time to declare a personal vendetta now? You're not worthy of being a coach at all! I must go to the general manager's office to complain about you! Complaining about you!! "Go if you want! I can't control your legs! You don't need to report to me! "After saying Mike. D'Antoni pointed at Tang Qian and said, "You go on, hot, and replace Howard on the court." ”
"Yes, sir." Tang Qian nodded, and then decisively took off his long-sleeved training clothes.
After seeing this scene, Howard's resentment towards Tang Qian deepened, and even to Mike. D'Antoni's hatred was blessed with the former.
You damn Oriental! actually bribed the coach to suppress me! Do you think you can show off your power when you enter the All-Star lineup? I'm telling you! You want to be beautiful! I'll make you suffer! I promise! I swear!
Howard sat down on the bench with great reluctance, his eyes reflecting No. 29, and he was angry.
But this round Mike. D'Antoni's mind is set, he must punish Dwight. Howard, let his mind relight up the sense of teamwork. Because the former has already discovered, now Howard is obsessed with low-post singles and obsessed with brushing data, and even can ignore the outcome of the game for the sake of good data. Why is the cart before the horse? There is only one reason, and that is that Howard's heart has left Los Angeles and left the Lakers.
He's ready to change teams and go to the free market to make a big buck.
In that case, why should he care about the Lakers' life or death this season?
But the season isn't over yet, Mike. D'Antoni doesn't want to care about things so far away, he has only one requirement for "Warcraft" at the moment, that is, to play well and show some professional spirit. You are not required to do your best to shed blood and tears for the Lakers, at least you have to listen to your own tactical command and tactical arrangement. It's so blind, you're brushing the data, and it's a big deal to pat your ass and leave this summer, but what should I do? When the time comes, it is conceivable that all the black cauldrons will become my head coach's. People who don't know it will even subconsciously think that I can't even bring such a luxurious lineup, the head coach's ability is worrying, and I don't have the potential to become a champion coach.
Such a wronged pot, I Mike. D'Antoni is absolutely unwilling to carry it!
So now D'Antoni is also ruthless, everything is for the team's record, and as for the relationship with star players, it can be relegated to the second place. Because he is also a human being, he also has selfishness and desires, and he is so "betrayed" and unclear, how can he be willing?
Howard, since you've become detached from the Lakers, then I don't need to get used to you anymore, if you're only here to be so blind, then you might as well get me off and sit on the bench! Toil. I don't have that much patience with you B.B now! If you don't want to play well and can't help me improve my team's record, then you can sit honestly for me! When you're willing to listen to me, I'll let you go!
I'm telling you! I'm not kidding you this time!
……
"Hot, you go keep an eye on Brandon. Buzz ~ "Paul. Gasol and Tang Qian said, Tang Qian knew that the latter was "helping" himself, because the Spaniards saw that they were being miserably handled by the old KG in front, so they took the initiative to stand up and solve the siege. Tang Qianxin was moved by Gasol's behavior, but he rejected it and said: "Paul, you are the main offensive force of our interior, don't spend too much physical energy and energy on the defensive end, leave the defensive matter to me, you just prepare for the interior attack." ”
"But ......" Gasol also knew that Tang Qian's words were right, but he was afraid that Tang Qian would be "sprayed" by KG in this game, because before, he had also tasted the trash talk ability of this Green Shirt No. 5, and if he lost in the end, he was afraid that it would be difficult to recover for a while. As a star player, he certainly has time to adjust physically and mentally, and the management and fans will not be too harsh, but for ordinary bench players, the NBA league does not have such good patience. If you don't play well in a few or even one game, then you will be instantly "sprayed", and it is not impossible to even temporarily "abandon" it and temporarily "hide it". In general, the positive side of the NBA league is reserved for the stars, and the negative side? There is no doubt that it was all digested by the bench.
If you don't think it's fair, then you can choose to withdraw from the alliance, because this is the "rule" of this alliance from ancient times to the present. If you want to get the "good" side, you have to stand out, otherwise even if you have a big reason and a big grievance, few people will really care about you and sympathize with you.
Gasol has been with Tang Qian for so long, and he feels that he is still a good person, of course, the most important thing is that he does not overlap or conflict with his position, so he does not want the latter to be abandoned and sunk. But he didn't expect that he was kind enough to help, but this Oriental "didn't appreciate it", which made him a little confused. After thinking for a while, Gasol asked: "You are so easy to be sprayed by fans and ...... by the management" But before he finished speaking, Tang Qian blurted out: "It doesn't matter." ”
Number 29 looked at the counter above his head and said, "I just want to win now." ”
"That's all."
"So Paul, I'll leave it to you to attack inside, and I'll do my best to defend well."
"You ......" Gasol said.
"I just want to win, Paul, so let me keep an eye on KG." Tang Qian stopped Gasol, because defending a former quasi-supergiant and now an All-Star player was originally an extremely physically demanding task. Yes, Garnett is old, and his strength is not as good as it was back then, but he can play far beyond ordinary All-Star abilities at some critical moments. So letting Gasol go solo defense will only wear down his physical strength and make him unable to give the Lakers much-needed contribution on the offensive end.
Therefore, Tang Qian is really not presumptuous or enthusiastic, he just stands in the perspective of the team winning and wants to make the best division of labor. Of course, some competing minds still exist, but that's secondary, not the main reason. Maybe some of the protagonists of "Niu X" can often play five and easily turn the overall situation around on their own, but that is not Tang Qian, so in reality, what he needs to consider is not how to be a hero, but how to help the team win.
Basketball is a team sport after all, heroes are needed, but the rest of the people can't be ignored, otherwise even if they average a triple-double per game, they can only accept defeat and never touch the floor of the championship.
"Okay, if you can't support it, I'll replace you." After thinking about it, Gasol agreed, because Tang Qian's starting point is right, what the Lakers need most now is not his defensive ability, but his offensive ability and singles ability. If you put too much effort into defense, you might lose Mike. D'Antoni put him back in the low position.
Besides, attacking in the low post was originally what the Spaniards wanted the most, and now with this opportunity, he was not willing to let it go easily.
Lakers' Nash scored a three-pointer near the top arc with the help of Tang Qian's high block, which gave the Lakers a little breather. Boston, on the other hand, didn't want to give the opposite side a breather, so they quickly pushed the ball to the front court, and then a lob ball passed the ball to the inside number 5.
Garnett turned his back to Tang Qian, held the ball and said, "Why are you still defending me?" Could it be that the Lakers can't find a capable person? I really can't do it, and the Spaniard just now can do it! Tang Qian bent his knees, concentrated and whispered, "I don't need Paul, I can do it." "You?" Garnett grinned, showing his bright white teeth and said, "You can't, Oriental, you're still too tender~"
Tang Qian didn't speak again, just stared at No. 5 in front of him, ready to move or jump at any time.
"It's useless not to speak, boy, because the basketball court is a place to speak by strength." As soon as Garnett turned on one foot, he turned into a face-to-face with Tang Qian and said, "And you, destined to be eaten by me!" Before the words fell, Garnett moved out at high speed, it was really hard to imagine that he was so tall, but he had such agile traverse movement and first steps, if he was at his peak, it was unimaginable. No wonder before James, the title of the all-round warrior of the league, was subordinate to KG Kevin. Garnett.
This kind of lateral movement and footwork is definitely not covered among interior players, and it is very sharp.
A string of beautiful steps, Garnett made a one-handed shot, and the basketball flew to the Lakers' basket.
"KG shot, and at this distance he basically won't ...... Oh ~ a cap!! "The home court of the Lakers suddenly rang Beal. McDonald's voice said, Tang Qian's cap is really too timely. The Lakers' Nash picked up the ball on the floor and quickly pushed it towards the opposite half.
Garnett was stunned at first, but quickly reacted and ran towards his own half.
However, this ball Nash took advantage of the opponent's interior line not yet in place, so he burst in alone, faked fax shots, and hit the basketball board into the net.
No one thought that after the pause, it would be Steve. Nash took the lead, scoring five straight points to help the Lakers quickly close the deficit. Kobe Bryant nodded at Nash, after all, this kind of "teammates come forward" situation is rare in Kobe's career, once it appears, it is the after-dinner conversation of "Kohei", which can be written about for three days and three nights.
In fact, Kobe Bryant has played 1300+ games in his career, and the proportion of this situation is really not high, but because he is a popular superstar, it is easy to be magnified. The same goes for LeBron. James too, the slightest problem can be hacked into a dog, and you can't take care of yourself at all.
"Boy, you just did a good job, it looks like I can take you a little more seriously." As soon as Garnett came over, he began to spew trash talk again. Really, this Green Shirt No. 5 is definitely the player who likes to spew trash talk the most since Tang Qian joined the NBA, although others also say that in terms of frequency and quantity, it is far from the same order of magnitude as the former. Tang Qian looked at him and only replied, "I just covered you one." ”
A simple sentence made Garnett's trash talk bounce back, but who is KG? The veteran of the league who ended up in the league for 21 years, in his own words, there is nothing in this league that can make me emotional except for a championship. Even in the 2012-2013 season, he played for 18 years, and this kind of experience and experience, even in the history of the NBA, is the top list. So he wasn't annoyed, just continued to speak: "How can you play basketball without being covered?" As long as I can in the next game. It's okay to flip you~Isn't it~"
"Get ready, KG is coming to trap you!" Garnett received the pass, made three back-to-back feints in a row, and then turned around with a smooth stride and jumped back to shoot. said that it was three feints, but in Tang Qian's eyes, it was about the same as one, the degree of delicacy and deceptiveness were all among the inside players, and they were all terrible. FURTHERMORE, THIS GUY IS OBVIOUSLY 211CM TALL, IN FACT, MOST NBA PLAYERS CLAIM THAT KG IS DEFINITELY MORE THAN THIS HEIGHT, AT LEAST 7 FEET, BUT ONE OF HIS MAIN OFFENSIVE MEANS IS TO ROLL OVER AND JUMP BACK.
This kind of offensive method is a very strong move in the NBA, and the average 7-foot-long person can't use it flexibly, and it's not the same as Yao Ming's turnaround and backward jumper, KG's turnaround and leaning back speed is faster and larger, if it is at its peak, basically no one can block it head-on one-on-one. Now that he has used this trick against Tang Qian, it means that he is really serious about this ball.
Tang Qian was quick to keep up with the jump, but he didn't prevent KG's ball, and the basketball drew a graceful arc, and then fell into the net. Brush ~ Garnett's single success helped the Celtics score 2 points.
"How? Lad? You have to work hard~haha~" KG turned around and said after landing, this is his offensive and defensive habits, if he doesn't spray after scoring, he feels that something is missing. Tang Qian gritted his teeth, but did not answer.
Because he knows that his trash talk can't get the other party, he hasn't met any demons and monsters in his 18-year NBA career, and if he really can't even take a sophomore oriental center, then the latter won't make people hate itchy. Therefore, Tang Qian could only choose to be silent for the time being, waiting for the opportunity. However, if you want to "spray" the opponent, there is also a way, that is, to prevent him and block him continuously, so that you can use the power of carrying facts to make Garnett speechless.
This kind of deflated moment, KG's career has not bumped into it, but he doesn't think that this kind of thing will happen tonight.
Garnett carefully read the defensive data of the No. 29 on the opposite side several times before the game, but no matter how good the physical fitness is, what is the use? He won't choose to hit straight and hard~ Turn around and shoot backwards for a jumper, he can't defend it alone~ And as long as the Lakers adopt a co-defense or supplementary defense strategy, Garnett will play the ball as soon as possible and let his teammates on the same team who are in the vacant position shoot.
Not sticking to the ball, timely and decisive ball, is also one of KG Garnett's player characteristics, so it is very nerve-wracking to defend and let the opposing team. It seems that there is no better way to defend than to pray that he has a bad hand.
The Lakers missed the shot, the Green Army continued to attack, Pierce originally wanted to beat Ci Shiping himself, but Ci Shiping's tank size did not give him a good offensive opportunity. In the first step, the explosiveness has long been less than that of the year, and the breakthrough offense outside the three-point line has been in Pierce's body, which is not very common. At least in the regular season, he won't play like that, he's 77, just over a year younger than Garnett, and he's over 35 this year. Besides, when he was young, Pierce was not known for his physical fitness at the No. 3 position, so as he got older, his breakthrough skills gradually declined, and gradually turned into a "slow-motion" layup with strong hitting and squeezing.
So after the ball turned around, it returned to KG's hand, KG turned around and threw a backward jumper, brushed ~, and continued to hit.
"Hehe~Young man~ Come on~ Your defensive attitude, it will definitely not be able to prevent me~" Garnett said with a mocking expression after scoring the goal, although Tang Qian knew that the other party was deliberately teasing him, he still couldn't help but turn dark. At this time, the Lakers are in crisis again, and if they can't prevent the Celtics' No. 4 position, then tonight's game is likely to continue to swallow the consequences.
Bryant made a pull-up jumper, but missed the basket as it crashed into the basket.
"Grab the rebound~"
Both teams shouted at the same time.
Tang Qian's rebounding ability is now stronger than Garnett's regular season state, but it is not as much as the data shows. Why? Don't look at Garnett's average of 7.8 rebounds per game this season, but that's less than 30 minutes of playing time. In fact, as soon as he enters the playoffs, his playing time will skyrocket, and his average rebounds per game will skyrocket to nearly 14+ levels. Know what the concept of 14+ rebounds in the playoffs is? The famous Dennis. There is only one season in the playoffs that Rodman has exceeded this threshold, and the average rebounds per game of KG in the playoffs this season are enough to rank third in the latter's playoff career. And the highest playoff average rebound of the "Big Bug" is 16+, which is not as good as Garnett's close to 19+, as for what you say is fair? Both are 3 games a year, a round trip, so there is no such thing as anyone playing less and taking advantage.
What does this mean? This shows that KG's playoff rebounding ability is not inferior to the "big bug", but he is a little "playing dead" in the regular season. Therefore, it is very difficult for Tang Qian to defeat Garnett and grab this frontcourt rebound, and it is not as simple as the data shows.
In addition, the difficulty of grabbing rebounds in the front court is much higher than that of rebounds in the back court, Tang Qian also used his strength to eat, and he barely stuck in front of Garnett, and he could occupy a better rebounding position. It stands to reason that Tang Qian is very promising to get this ball, but in the next second, the situation suddenly changed.
"Oh~It's a pity~ The rebound was taken by Garnett~The Boston people organized the offense~" Needless to say, McDonald's commentary voice has already said the final ending. Even if Tang Qian grabbed a better rebounding position, he still lost to an "old man" who was about to be 37 years old. This kind of answer is indeed beyond everyone's expectations.
"Little guy~ You're too tender~ Too tender~ You can pay more attention next time~" Garnett's voice continued to appear, which made Tang Qian's face more and more ugly. What the hell happened to that ball just now? Why didn't you hold the duck that was about to arrive? No one in the audience knew better than the latter. Just as he was about to jump off and grab the board, the former ...... Uses an extremely subtle but at the same time very effective small action on himself.
The knee of his left leg suddenly pushed against his popliteal fossa, and at this moment, his left leg lost the power of an instantaneous explosion. Then I tried to force the jump, but I missed the best time, and the rebound was grabbed by KG.
Garnett leaned back again to score, and Tang Qian felt that no matter how much he covered, it seemed that he couldn't cover the basketball that was close at hand.
Cap ability, is it still a little short? Damn it!
Tang Qian scolded in his heart, being eaten three times in a row with the same technical action, even Tang Qian felt a little annoyed, and his face was not very stable. Just as Gasol was about to exchange defenders with the former, No. 24 suddenly walked over and said: "Hot, you are too obsessed with blocking, defending KG, you can't do this." ”
After speaking, he turned around and ran to the front court, leaving only a Zijin No. 29 whose face changed from confusion to sudden realization.
PS: What about Don's potential not being able to defend KG in the last peak season? Let's wait and see~
Completing the "torch replacement" with the older generation of interior players is also one of the charms of the NBA, isn't it?
The big chapter asks for a recommendation~ Tomorrow, 10,000 words will explode~ At home during the holiday, try to break out as much as possible~ So, come to one. Wave. Ticket. Ticket bar~Woo~
